Local News closed Albanese turns the first sod for sports complex Roads over weekend Victoria Cosford

Anthony Albanese, federal Minister for Infrastructure and Local Government, last Saturday turned the first sod to begin construction on the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex at Ewingsdale.

Apart from the Minister and Mayor Jan Barham, members of the Public Works Department, Geolink and former Olympian Herb Elliot all donned hard hats and vests for the brief ceremony.

Federal funding support to the tune of $9.5 million had been provided for the community-initiated project which will ensure much needed facilities for the local sporting community. Soccer, netball, basketball, cricket, rugby, hockey and athletics will all be catered for by the time the project is

completed over the next three years.

Mr Albanese told The Echo that ‘this is just a fantastic project – providing jobs in the short term and in the long term an area for families. Organised sport has such an important role in terms of health and social benefits.

‘This particular grant is one of the largest under the government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. It’s also in recognition of a growing community, a good proposal that’s been well thought out.’

Cr Barham reinforced these sentiments, adding that ‘the great thing about this project was the fact it was acknowledgement and recognition by the federal government of the importance of regional and local projects. I’m thrilled.’

It is envisaged that the complex will be a major regional hub for residents, regional and interstate sporting teams, artists and cultural performers, visitors and tourists to Byron Bay. Community representative Shobhan Oliver said she has ‘been working really hard within the community to put in a skate park here. There’s a spot and money allocated and I had a petition signed by 450 residents of the area.

‘The Ewingsdale Progress Association has been on my side and they would also like to see art or cultural aspects to the sportsfield – such as sculptures, good landscaping, a playfulness and no dullness.’

The skate park is planned for the front of the complex with access from the new bikeway.

‘Skating is a new sport and a worldwide sport – it’s for the youth and the youth are our future,’ Shobhan said.

Herb Elliot, sporting a bandaid on one finger from a recent surfing accident, told The Echo that while he himself would not be utilising the new sportsfield (‘I haven’t done that for 40 years – I just surf now’) he would ‘certainly be using these facilities as a spectator!’

Mayor Barham also gave special thanks to Richmond

MP Justine Elliot for her ongoing support of the project. She said that it would also provide an immediate economic boost to the Shire with up to 15 people each day expected to work on it over the next three years.

Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure Phillip Holloway said Stage 1 of the project includes the access roundabout, fencing and the design, supply and installation of the site transformer.

<echowebsection=Local News>

The following roads will be temporarily closed over the Easter weekend from midday Thursday April 1 until Tuesday April 6: the Pacific Highway offramp at the Gulgan Road overpass for south bound traffic, with south bound festival traffic to exit the highway at Grays Lane, and no right hand turn from Grays Lane to and from the Pacific Highway.

Byron Shire Council’s regulatory services manager Wayne Bertram said the temporary road closures have been put in place to assist with traffic management to the new Blues Festival site at Tyagarah. He said the closures may affect residents and road users of the Pacific Highway, Gulgan Road, Grays Lane, Tanner Lane and Yarin Lane, Tyagarah.

Mr Bertram also advised Mullumbimby residents using the Pacific Highway south to use the Brunswick Heads interchange during the festival.

Grays Lane and Tyagarah Airport road users are advised to use the Gulgan Road overpass when coming from the south or exiting to the north on the Pacific Highway.

Council and the Blues Festival organisers apologise for any inconvenience. For further information contact Byron Shire Council on 6626 7065 or the Bluesfest Hotline 6639 9899.

Local News Administrators reveal school holds $10m in liabilities

Shearwater needs to find $2m â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quick Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The future of the Shearwater Steiner school at Mullumbimby is in doubt after news broke last week that on March 18 Mark Robinson and Stephen Parbery of PPB were appointed voluntary administrators of the school.

The Board of Directors of the school sought the appointment as the school has a large historical debt and it is hoped the voluntary administration process will give the school an opportunity to restructure and continue to operate.

The immediate future of Shearwater was outlined last week in two separate meetings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one for parents and friends of the school, the other for creditors who collectively are owed about $10.7 million.

Much of this debt is acceptable, according to the administrators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any large company would be expect to have a certain amount of debt and in the case of schools a debt of $8,000 per child for a bank loan is not above the limit. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westpac bank loan sees Shearwater come in well below this at about $6,600.

Upbeat Interim Board Chairman Jan Roskott introduced the members of the board and the staff of PPB to a standing room only meeting of parents and friends last Thursday evening at the Civic Hall in Mullum. The meeting was very upbeat, the audience very receptive to the ideas and positive vision of the future of the school.

Representatives from the VA company PPB were at the meeting to outline the process of arranging a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA), which is a binding arrangement between a company and its creditors governing how the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affairs will be dealt with as a result of the company entering voluntary administration. It aims to maximise the chances of the company, in this

Smiling in the face of adversity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shearwater students were happy to pose for a photograph.

case the school, continuing, or to provide a better return for creditors than an immediate winding-up of the company. In short, PPB is trying to come to an agreement with the creditors whereby the school can remain open and the new management can work towards paying debt.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pot of goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needed Liz Fleming from PPB commended the school on what she felt is a valuable facility and said that it was in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest that Shearwater remain open, but she stressed the need for what she called a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pot of goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the school to operate. There needs to be a $1.5 million to $2 million dollar gift â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a donation or a non-recourse loan to keep the school running.

Parents at the meeting were immediately galvanised into finding a solution to the problem with the Q&A delivering some hopeful ideas for a positive outcome for the school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one source of income being the payment of outstanding fees.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting of creditors was less uplifting. Many felt that they have been given a raw deal by the school, some feeling personally cheated by the actions of what they thought was a community minded body. PPBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mark Robinson presented an

overview of what would happen in the next ten weeks as the VA investigated the finances of the school. He suggested that a compromise of debt may be more beneficial to creditors than bankruptcy of the school which may see no recompense at all after the major secured creditors were paid.

Mr Robinson said the secured creditors, owed about $5 million, are prepared to wait for payment. The priority creditors had to be paid as as soon as possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $295,384 to the ATO Super Guarantee Charge and $381,799 for long service leave, annual leave, and superannuation for staff. There is also an amount owed to the Australian government for building grant funds which did not end up being used for bricks and mortar.

It was suggested at the meeting that a possible 10 to 15 cents in the dollar may be the outcome for unsecured creditors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; parent loans, trade creditors, pre-paid school fees and a builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim of $330,000, to name a few.

The creditors were not happy and wondered how did the situation arise. Mr Robinson said that the investigation would continue into the school finances and a creditors committee was formed to liaise with PPB.

The outcome of the VA will not be known for several weeks.

In the meantime it will be business as usual at the school.

When The Echo spoke to members of the school board after the creditor meeting they were still very much looking toward a positive outcome.

Managers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;let goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel we have a positive process in place,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said board member Ian Howden. When asked, the board said that there had been changes at the school. They said that PPB had terminated the employment of two members of the management staff who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;were surplus to our requirements and were let goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. They said it was the choice of PPB and they support the decision.

They felt that the historical debt was a result of inadequacy and incompetency on the part of the financial managers at the time.

The board said that there were new clear objectives at the school to change the constitution, the management and governance structure at the school.

By the end of the week it was clear that there needs to be much done to resurrect the finances of the school. It was agreed, even by most of the creditors, that it was important that the school remain open.

A new future shines for college Eve Jeffery

The site which contains Byron Region Community College on the corner of Gordon and Burringbar Streets, Mullumbimby, has undergone many changes since it was created by the Mullumbimby Municipal Council in the early 60s as a local electricity depot.

Last year the college received nearly $1.5 million of building construction funds from the Australian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations economic stimulus package.

The funds, along with $20,000 from Byron Shire Council, are being used for major renovations and additions. Spaces will have sprung wooden floors, operable doors, advanced natural ventilation systems, lots of natural light, upgraded outdoor and indoor student meeting areas and facilities. There will even be a welcoming exhibition space where the latest community and business ideas on education, technology, creativity and sustainability can be displayed

in various formats.

Nearly 30KW of solar panels will cover much of the roof space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this seems appropriate given the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity history and that Mullum once had one of the first hydro-generators in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At last we will have a space that matches our vision of the future,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says BRCC director Richard Vinycomb. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A space for the future which will benefit

the future needs of the shire.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Richard says that the key areas of education at the college are sustainability, creativity, technology and vocational training and that the courses will be tailored for the optimum use of the refurbished site. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The work will be finished by the end of June, we will then slowly chose activities which are the most appropriate for the venue.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary office is in a shopfront in Mullum diagonally opposite the post office on Burringbar Street.

Keep in mind that while construction is happening, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still business as usual for lots of courses happening and Term 2 looming. Visit www.byroncollege.org.au any time, wait for the next course brochure or call 6684 3374 for more details.

Cottage helps youth connect in difficult times Story & photo Eve Jeffery

One of the programs in place to supply services and advice for young people is the new BYS Youth Connections which runs out of Widows Cottage in Mullumbimby. The program provides activities, groups, outings, life skills, support, referrals, family liaison services, individual case management and generally tries to meet the needs of school aged, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;at riskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; young people living in the north of the shire.

Based at the cottage, Deb Pearse is a youth worker who has been with the Byron Youth Service for over ten years. Deb also facilitates Street Cruise which has been running for about eight years. In that time, tragically, there have been a number of deaths of young local people, leaving devastated families and confused and grieving young people.

The aim of all programs or projects at the Cottage is to connect young people with supporting relationships, with each other and their communities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the past week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen four young people who were in groups at the Cottage years ago, who were struggling and disengaged,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Deb. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All of them are now living productive lives and seem much happier with their lot.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Many of the programs running out of the Cottage begin with an activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aerosol art, photography, woodworking, scrap-booking, music, and www.echo.net.au

Linknetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing Richard Hughes and founder Peter Bundy take wireless broadband to the street with Mayor Jan Barham.

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The federal government has allocated over $250 million over four years to 2012 to fund the Australian Broadband Guarantee. The program works by paying internet service providers that register with the program a subsidy to provide metro-comparable broadband services to residential and small business premises where such services would not otherwise be available.

As a result of the of the program, service provider Mullumbimby based Linknet is bringing high-speed wireless broadband to thousands of homes and businesses throughout the region who previously were unable to access such a service.

Coverage already extends to over 50 towns and communi-

ties throughout the Byron, Lismore, Ballina and Richmond Valley. The remainder of the Northern Rivers will progressively come online by June 2010.

Founder and CEO of Linknet Peter Bundy and managing director Richard Hughes met with Mayor Jan Barham on Tuesday last week to outline the service and what it will mean to internet service users in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The availability of Linknetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next generation high-speed broadband service will provide thousands of homes in the Northern Rivers with access to the online resources that have been taken for granted in the city for years,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Bundy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;With so many community, commercial and government resources now available online, Linknet believes that

high-speed broadband services should be considered as an essential infrastructure item for our community alongside roads, power and water services.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By June 2010 the Linknet service will extend from Grafton north to Murwillumbah and west towards Kyogle and Casino. For more information about the Linknet service area call 1300 288 872 or visit www.linknet.com.au.

Q Under the Australian Broadband Guarantee, a metrocomparable broadband service is defined as any service that offers a minimum 512kbps download and 128kbps upload data speed, 3GB per month data usage at a total cost of $2500 GST inclusive over three years, including installation and connection fees.

The site of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Byron Bay Writers Festival was revealed at the Sponsors Launch recently as being a return to the original one. Addressing the enthusiastic crowd that turned up for the launch, Festival director Jeni Caffin said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a festival that rolls with the punches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; last year the piles of woodchip and the cries of crows following every voice. Thanks to the

owners of the [Bayshore Drive] site, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Once home to the Byron Bay Beach Resort, the site was bought by Becton who fought for seven years to build a new resort, finally giving up in 2009 and selling to a Queensland family. The announcement of the Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return there was greeted with claps and cheers.

Chairperson for the Northern Rivers Writers Centre Chris Hanley opened the event, em-

phasising that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we are a community organisation, a not-forprofit organisation. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a regional arts program like us anywhere else.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jeni Caffin revealed that the keynote speaker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is to be Fatima Bhutto, feminist, intellectual and controversial Pakistani writer who is the niece of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Exploring dreams and poetry

Emma Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Dawn Language exhibition, an exploration of dreams, poetry and reverie, opened last Friday. Work by two other Byron Shire artists, David Kas and Fred Genis, along with Karlee Rawkins and Marc Renshaw and the wonderful touring Blake Prize are a very strong argument for a drive to the spectacular Tweed River Gallery.

Local News

New bill for coastal protection Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Frank Sartor, last week released a draft Coastal Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill which aims to improve management of erosion along the NSW coast.

‘The NSW government has recognised that some coastal communities are facing difficulties associated with erosion along the coastline,’ Mr Sartor said in a press release.

‘We announced a package of measures late last year to better equip councils and communities when they are challenged with coastal erosion.

‘This Bill aims to deliver these reforms and we are seeking input from interested groups and individuals before we introduce the legislation into Parliament. It outlines new processes to allow landowners to protect their properties

S

from erosion, both temporarily when a severe storm is forecast and in the longer term.

‘For example, landowners will be able to temporarily place geotextile sandbags on beaches. Strict conditions are provided under this Bill to ensure that actions by landowners have minimal impact on our beaches, which are prized by the community.

‘These temporary works will provide time for landowners to develop longer term arrangements to minimise erosion impacts.’

The key provisions of the draft Bill include: t DPOEJUJPOBMMZ QFSNJUUJOH landowners to temporarily place sand or sandbags on beaches to protect their property from impending erosion; t HSFBUFS TDPQF GPS QSJWBUFMZ initiated coastal protection works for maintenance of sea-

walls and similar structures, as well as managing any impacts such as beach erosion; and t JODSFBTFE QFOBMUJFT SFMBUing to unauthorised material dumped on beaches which may cause erosion or present a public safety risk.

Landowners will also be permitted to seek approval to build long-term coastal protection works such as seawalls, provided they pay for them and commit to meet the ongoing costs associated. In emergency situations, residents will be allowed to take action to protect their property.

Illegal actions, however, such as dumping rocks on beaches, can worsen erosion of neighbouring land and beaches, and present a risk to public safety, so penalties may be applied.

The draft Coastal Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill is available at www. environment.nsw.gov.au and comments are invited until April 12.

A discussion paper proposing complementary amendments to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) is available at www.planning.nsw.gov.au.

At present it is estimated that around 200 NSW properties are at risk from coastal erosion.

This number is likely to rise due to increasing sea levels and storm activity.

Travel a winner for Darren

Winner of the Travel Photography Competition – Darren Pearson of Bangalow with his photo of Samburu women, eight hours drive north of Nairobi in Northern Kenya.

On winning, Darren said, ‘I take photos for the love of it, not for money, I’m certainly not a professional. I’d like to donate my cash prize back to the War Child Australia Cycling Challenge.’

The competition was held as part of local Bangalow-based travel writer and photographer Kim Wildman’s efforts to raise money to support War Child Australia. In May this year Kim will be travelling to Cambodia to take part in a

two week cycling challenge to help the charity provide education and support to Cambodian children affected by war.

‘I am thrilled by the response to the competition from residents in the Northern Rivers.

The quality of the work submitted was fantastic and the number of entries was well beyond my expectations,’ said Wildman.

‘I’d like to thank everyone for participating and supporting such a worthy cause. Your generosity helped me raise more than $3,000, so I am well on the way to achieving my goal of $6,900.’

No southern bypass for Bangalow The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) announced last week that the proposed Bangalow southern bypass will not proceed.

A spokesperson for the RTA said the decision was made following research that showed the bypass would not be economically viable and would result in only minor improvements to the regional road network.

‘This decision was not taken lightly but unfortunately the RTA could not justify the cost of the project in light of the minor benefits it would have achieved,’ the spokesperson said.

A discussion paper concerning the preliminary investigations into a southern bypass of Bangalow went on display for community comment from June 3 to July 15, 2009.

A report concerning the outcomes of research into the southern bypass of Bangalow has been released and on the RTA’s website.

It was found the marginal benefits of a southern bypass do not justify the cost of a bypass and there is no short or long term justification for the project. The report includes submissions made by the community.

Council seeks photos of Bay pool Byron Shire Council is looking for old photos of the Byron Bay pool site prior to the construction of the pool in 1965. Photos or other documentation are being sought to support an application to the Department of Lands in order to close part of an old road reserve in Byron Bay.

Council’s executive manager of corporate management Mark Arnold said he was particularly interested in identifying if there was a road constructed on the current Byron Bay pool site.

‘The road might have serviced the Byron Bay Fisherman’s Coop or other properties. The Coop was situated on land leased

from the Crown. Old parish maps indicate that the Co-op was serviced by a road constructed over the site of where the pool currently stands.’

Pre 1958 photos or other documents can be sent to Byron Shire Council, Station Street, Mullumbimby or phone 6626 7178.

by Mungo MacCallum Albrechtsen, wrote breathlessly of his prowess as a surfer, boxer, cyclist and fighter of bushfires; she was all but orgasmic about his sheer hairiness. With a pelt like that, who needed policies?

But belatedly these same pundits have decided that policies are important after all, especially if Abbott is to have an outside chance of winning an election. Thus John Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former guru Arthur Sinodinis (now howling with Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hyenas) advises Abbott to switch from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crazy-brave populistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oxford-educated thinkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and swap the Speedos and lycra for the suit and tie. Sinodinis refrained from suggesting that a spot of depilation might also help, but his message was unmistakable and reinforced by an editorial in the Weekend Australian: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To win power he must craft a more positive image and show real leadership to a broader group of Australians.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Janet Albrechtsen, apparently, was no longer enough.

Paul Kelly, even more pompous, pontificated in the same paper: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The test is whether Ab-

happened to be named Rudd.

But even before that event Abbot made it clear that he was not going to stop doing what came naturally to him, and that certainly included hitting the beaches, the cycle paths and the jogging tracks. The defiant response must have come as a relief to charity groups like the one which auctioned a pair of Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgie smugglers on eBay. These raised more than $2,000 after being worn on a mere two kilometre swim, a terrific precedent; just think what Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jock strap might bring in after the week long Pollie Pedal? You could just about retire Barnaby Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imaginary â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;net debt gross public and privateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

And speaking of Barnaby Joyce, his demotion (and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not pretend it was anything else) may not solve all Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. Getting him out of Finance was imperative, but finding a spot for what the leader describes as his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rare political talentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proved harder. After all, there are not many portfolios for which loud-mouthed igno-

rance is a prerequisite.

Regional Development, Infrastructure and Water obviously seemed the best fit: Joyce is now to be sent barnstorming around the countryside unleashing torrents of uninformed and probably inaccurate abuse, hopefully out of sight and sound of the national media.

He will undoubtedly contradict Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on water (Abbott favours a federal takeover of the Murray Darling system while the Nationals and the irrigators do not) but this should prove less of a problem than his economic gaffes. And at least he will be out of the way.

Of course the opportunity to get rid of him was caused by the unexpected resignation of Senator Nick Minchin, which will pose its own problems. If Cardinal George Pell is Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal confessor in matters spiritual, then the sinister senator performed the same role in matters temporal; he was always the grey eminence lurking behind Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. No doubt he will continue to lurk, but his absence from cabinet meetings will remove Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful ally.

The moderates, led by Joe Hockey and Chris Pyne (who refers to his fellow crow-eater in terms which are unprintable even in the most enlightened media) must be delighted. And what about the biggest moderate of all, Malcolm Turnbull?

Suddenly Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rejection of his comeback offer looks less like prudent politics and more like a touch of funk.

Minchin will also be missed in his role as opposition senate leader, a position in which his unquestioned authority helped restrain his coalition colleague, National Party senate leader Barnaby Joyce. His replacement, Eric Abetz, does not have the same clout. As his name implies, where Minchin took the lead, Eric merely abets.

Events, we’ve had a few…

Paul Anthony Jones needs to be a little more upfront to be convincing in his criticism of Byron Council’s proposed Events Policy (Letters, March 23). By nature, policies are both proscriptive of what is considered to be undesirable and encouraging of what is considered to be desirable.

He seems concerned about losing one of our two big festivals and I feel it would be clearer for readers if he enlightened us as to his particular field of employment because with his barbed attack on others he is suggesting that previously alternative people are now somehow forgetting their reasons for coming here by opposing this ‘wonderful’ form of tourism, thereby suggesting some hypocrisy on our part.

No, Paul. I have attended many festivals in the past and continue to do so. I attended last year’s Blues Festival, Mullum Music festival, the Bellingen festival.

We are actually doing our best to preserve what we originally came here for. We are concerned that our environ-

Q

Suffolk Park DA The short reason why Council passed the medium density development at Suffolk Park is because the land is zoned residential and the proposal met all the planning guidelines. The real question is why was a riparian area on a sensitive point of a coastal creek, where flooding is an increasing issue due to development upstream, zoned for medium density residential development in the first place?

Bernie Petry raises the question of what Council is able to do to require more appropriate development in such sensitive locations. The draft LEP (Local Environmental Plan) and DCP (Development Control Plan) processes being undertaken by Council provide the opportunity to protect creeks

ment can get trampled, our neighborhoods overrun by holiday letting and alcoholfuelled partying and that our infrastructures will crumble beneath the rush to turn our festival culture into a moneymaking onslaught by those who did forget.

Festivals we do want, but at the expense of what we cherish? No thanks.

Yes, there are changes needed to the policy to allow for already approved numbers at Bluesfest but the intent of the policy is good for our community, and no, we do not want an unlimited number of mega festivals here.

North Ocean Shores Q It

is a shame that the situation in Byron re events has had to become so emotional.

What we have is the general public that wants a wonderful area to raise their children in one of the most diverse areas in the State, for decades viewed as one of the best surfing spots on the east coast with a dynamic music scene. But it is also one

of the smallest shires in NSW with a rate base of approx only 30,000.

As promoters put on fabulous gigs each year and became more popular and renowned, they wanted to increase the number of punters coming to their events. As they grew, their costs increased, so they either had to increase the ticket amount or the number of punters or both. Now these gigs have become like satellite party towns that move into an area and take over the amenity of the people who live here 24/7.

At the same time, our own shire and neighbouring shires have been experiencing increased negative effects from alcohol and drug use among young people, including increasing violence and antisocial behaviour. It’s become such a problem that the government is handing out grants to great organisations like the Byron YAC to help educate our youth about the issues of alcohol abuse. Our own council is also looking into earlier closing times for places that serve

Broken Head Quarry Earthworks alcohol to reduce the negative effects of overconsumption.

We may not have needed many regulations years ago, but it’s different now. We need an events policy that encourages events but does not allow them to overwhelm the shire and that shows respect for the residents who are affected by them. We need guidelines that address where various kinds of gigs may be held, set attendance limits, specify noise limits, and deal with water, sewage, infrastructure, traffic, policing, fire, etc. We can’t have a policy with loopholes; we need a clear policy and guidelines so that promoters know what is allowed and so that we residents can be sure our amenity and safety are first priority on Council’s agenda.

We should also be working together from a regional perspective. It’s short-sighted to think ‘It’s Byron or nothing at all’. If events grow too large for Byron, as is now happening, other venues in the region are both possible and desirable.

Devil in the detail at the beach Q Thanks to Dailan Pugh for having a crack at me last week.

Echo editing of my letter due to length left out the fact that the toe of the Belongil wall, the the very base of the wall, is only ever exposed by very severe storms, twice in the last 25 years. The role of the main wall is to replace the front of the ancient dune, destroyed by sandmining.

My proposed corrugated concrete slope at the wall base, or anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed blue metal, would only have been exposed for a few weeks in the last 20 years. It is proposed to

be only five metres wide, but its rough surface decelerates waves and causes sand to drop and reaccumulate more quickly. The main issue is sloping the front portion of the main wall to duplicate the ancient dune.

Dailan ignored my historical research when I offered it to him, unlike most councillors and every community member I have spoken to about the history, geology, and way forward for the dune and wetland. But I thank him because it demonstrates a clear contrast.

I am far from a climate change denier. I diligently pur-

sue solutions. As a parallel, let us look at the fact that we have spent far more fighting over the Belongil than it costs to fix the problem caused by sandmining. My approach has been, why is it happening? How can it be dealt with? I have presented my research and have yet to hear it disputed.

Crown Land, land that is zoned â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;open space and reserved for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This parkland and its foreshore have been used for recreation by generations of Brunswick families.

My own family has used this park for picnics, teaching the kids to ride bikes, ball games, tree climbing, fishing, swimming and general outdoor fun for over 90 years. Now, some blow-in developer, North Coast Holiday Parks, thinks they can just march in, divide the park into 60 blocks and rent it out to more blow-in holiday makers.

While theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hear their explanation for their river and road encroachments, their ruthless destruction of around 25% of the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees and nearly all the grass and their total disregard for parking and sewage moratorium laws that everybody else in the shire is bound by.

Q The devil is in the detail, Dailan! Two of many devils are: 1. The land will still belong to the landowners, even after the tide has come in and the houses have been moved. So the landowners will be beach-owners.

2. The shoreline was the first settled, and many of the houses pre-date planned retreat, and so are not subject to it.

Oh, the fees, the fees, the legal fees! It almost makes me want to change profession.

Face it, mate, there is no plan Matthew Hartley in planned retreat.

Q The

whole Mullum vs Woolies deal is such a non-issue. I mean I sorta get it, but is it that big a deal? Aren’t there bigger fish to fry? The only benefit to the rest of us who can’t see the problem is that it has provided endless laughs as these people get bent out of shape trying to outline their position with the standard manipulations of fact and hysteria, delusional with their perspective-deficiency that gives rise to a sense that they occupy the high moral ground. Chuckles all round.

You can’t take it seriously because there are just so many real injustices in the world. I half suspect it is a vocal minority, but who cares? Not me. Well, not until I saw the graffiti in Byron Bay this morning threatening ‘Stay out of Mullum or else!’ in letters a metre tall. One would have to say that is about as intrusive as, oh I don’t know, an unwanted supermarket in a small hippy town.

Any sympathies I might have harbored for your pathetic little cause have now evaporated entirely. Well done, Mullum, you are now a joke. Send all the irate letters you want, but this

Byron Bay Q The

debate on Woolworths is missing the point. It is not the brand of supermarket that is the problem as are ‘Big Box’ developments surrounded by parking. You only have to drive through the suburbs in the USA and you see how this kills the liveability of small towns and suburbs. The solution is to have Woolworths design a ‘street friendly’ development and not the ‘big box’ type that is designed for cars instead of people.

I have seen this working already in Canberra and other places. Woolworths needs to have a retail street frontage (along with other smaller shops) along Station Street with parking behind so that the existing shopfront amenities and pedestrian access is maintained. It’s a zoning issue, not a culture war.

Byron Bay Q No

wonder Normal Appel finds himself with the predicament of having a supermarket built in his backyard. His letter of reply to me is just rhetoric full of air with little facts or understanding of the real issues.

You speak of ‘similar numbers’ opposing Mallam’s DA at the time. Wrong, under the final state government planning report official figures show that there were 1,741 petitions of support (one petition with 1,489 signatures) and 141 petitions against (three petitions with 427 signatures). Most importantly, the final decision by the state government that approved the rezoning of this land was heavily influenced by

this level of community support. In its conclusion the report states ‘It is apparent from the submissions that significant support for the proposal exists....’ So, where do you get your figures from, Norman?

You also state that Mallam’s got their DA after ‘threatening the community’ that Woolworths would come into town.

So you fell for it. You have a propensity to support conspiracy theories by implying in your letter it was a done deal with Woolworths from day one. Informed people knew that once they got their DA, Mallam’s would be free to onsell the development to a third party. This was highlighted in our campaign against the rezoning. In my view Woolworths would have never got this land rezoned had they been the ones lodging a rezoning DA from scratch.

I think you just don’t like big supermarkets full stop, so it’s pointless arguing with you. I can accept this being your view but please don’t pretend this is also the political view of the majority in Mullum.

Finally, I cannot be but deeply saddened by your comments implying that the problems of our youth will get worse with the arrival of Woolworths into town. Do you really think their car park or a ‘probable’ massive bottle shop will make things worse for them? We already have plenty of bottle shops and hiding places in Mullum, and the whole Byron Shire for that matter.

It’s got much more to do with parenting: like talking with your children, guiding them, supervising them, teaching and showing them respect, giving them love (which also implies discipline), and getting involved in what they do and where they are late at night.

Putting the blame on outside forces will come at an even greater cost to our community, much much greater than the arrival of a Woolworths supermarket in our town.

vandalism cannot be justfied, however I’m sure you’ll come up with something. By the way, I notice you already have quite a few profit-driven shops in your town, so you are really no less a crew of card carrying capitalists than anyone else.

Get over yourselves. Or don’t, who cares? Just kindly grafitti your own walls, please.

FLET CHE

Any credibility the Woolworths protestors had with me went out the window as I drove into Byron Bay today. Overnight (Thursday) one of the protesters vandalised the side fence of Woolworths new service station in Shirley Street with the words ‘Stay out of Mullum, or else!!!’ Or else what?

Does this mean that if you can’t win by fair means, foul means will do? Are you intending violence against them? Sure sounds like it. How dare you threaten a legitimate business, or anyone else, in this way.

I thought we lived in a democracy, where people were free to go about their business according to the law. I can only assume from this sort of behaviour that the Byron Shire is now only a democracy if we all think the same way. How very sad!

Fabrics a shawl thing for Colin Heaney dgw goes global Victoria Cosford

They are the stuff of fantasies, floating filmy caftans in kaleidoscopes of colour made of weightless silk. From creating glass designs, Byron Baybased Colin Heaney has now turned to textiles – and has just launched an online store.

At his stunning residence Casa Blu – home as well to his showroom which is open to the public by appointment – he told The Echo how the transition had come about.

‘It was more that I got interested in Photoshop,’ he said, soft Canadian accent still in evidence after 30-odd years in Australia. ‘After 22 years with glass I was happy to let it go – it wasn’t as exciting as it had been for about 20 years. Photoshop was totally new.’

Between 1982 and 2005 Colin ran Australia’s largest glassblowing factory, creating glass designs almost infinite in their variety, examples of which feature in private and corporate collections all around the world. In 2006, however, he found himself spending increasing amounts of time in front of the computer – ‘that took over,’ he said.

‘Now I do everything in Photoshop – I put the pattern into Photoshop and apply my design to it.’ A direct digital

print is made encapsulating the visions of his designs and then it’s just a matter of transferring them to fabric and having the visions realised. So far ‘it’s caftans, scarves, sarongs, headbands and swimwear’ but ‘right now I’m working on a range of cashmere shawls and getting patterns made for skirts and tops’.

Will the collection extend to evening wear? ‘I have no idea.

Australia has a new international television star – a gumboot-wearing girl who grows awesome tomatoes, knows cloud names and drives a big orange tractor. Dirtgirlworld, the new preschool show from the Northern Rivers that’s a ratings hit in Britain, Australia and Canada, will now be seen in the US. Sprout, the first 24-hour preschool destination available on US TV, on demand and online for kids ages 2-5 and their parents and caregivers, and DECODE Enterprises, the distribution subsidiary of DHX Media, has announced the exclusive US launch of dirtgirlworld, the first green living series for preschoolers.

‘Sprout’s Dig Into Earth Day with dirtgirlworld’ marathon will air on Sprout Earth Day, Thursday, April 22. The sixhour block will feature select episodes of this contemporary,

vibrant, eco-friendly new series that was designed to introduce preschoolers to the joys of outdoor play and sustainable, green living.

Dirtgirlworld is currently screening in the coveted 8am slot on ABC 1 and at 1.30pm on ABC 2 in Australia, and regularly figures in the top ten rating programs on CBeebies, the BBC’s Children’s Channel in the UK. It also screens on BBC1 and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Dirtgirlworld was created by writer/producer Cate McQuillen and composer/writer Hewey Eustace, who developed the series from their idyllic home at Whiporie.

This music-centric series features a distinctive blend of live action and animation with photomontage and illustration that takes the audience to a world where the real and unreal collide.

Currently only Collection I, consisting of twelve designs, is available through the online store, with a 10% discount offered to shoppers; Collection II will be available in about two months’ time.

How Council collects money owed assessment. Council can also accept reduced offers for fixed costs orders. Each case is assessed on an individual basis taking into account commercial considerations. Any offer, which is reduction assessed or fixed amount of more than $1,000 is reported to Council for determination in accordance with the limitation on managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delegations.

Michael McDonald

Local activist Fast Buck$, aka John Anderson, has been questioning what he sees as anomalies in Byron Shire Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt recovery process. Buck$ fed me a number of questions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of which I altered in wording, some of which I did not ask â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which I passed onto Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media officer. The questions and the responses from Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager Graeme Faulkner are set out below: 1. What are the criteria which decide which costs owed to Council are referred to the State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) and which to Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own debt recovery agent?

Fines issued by the Court, Local or Land and Environment Court, are recoverable by the Courts, not by Council. The Courts always refer fines to the SDRO. Fines issued by Council are also recoverable by the SDRO on Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf, for example parking fines.

Legal cost order matters are recoverable by Council and are referred to Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Debt Recovery Agents.

That is, fines are managed by the Courts through the SDRO and cost order matters are managed by Council through its contractors.

SDRO success for two or more different rates for recovery of Council court proceedings, can these issued fines (eg parking fines) amounts be lumped together is approximately 80 per cent. as one claim?

As Court issued fines are recoverable by the Court (and are recoverable by the Court for all Councils, not just Byron), Byron Council is not privy to recovery rates. Council has recovered money under

Fines are a state responsibility recovered by the SDRO. Legal costs can be placed together into one claim if they are for fixed amounts or once the costs assessment process in all of the matters has been completed.

This depends on the circumstances of each matter. If the costs order was for a fixed amount for payment within a fixed time, interest accrues immediately after the fixed time has expired. For unfixed costs orders interest can be claimed during assessment and during later recovery action; whether interest is added to the debt is at the discretion of the costs assessor and/or the Courts.

7. Does Council still accept reduced offers even after formal assessment of costs has been done?

Council can still accept reduced offers even after formal

2006?

This is still being researched by staff.

10. Why was no costs assessment done on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;02 Hutton (Bakehouse) debt?

From initial research, it appears that former staff decided to delay assessing the costs order until it was known whether the larger fine of $40,000 could be recovered. Subsequently the debtor was declared bankrupt as a result of the SDRO attempting to recover that $40,000 fine.

This is an example of a sound commercial decision being made in relation to an unfixed costs matter. The benefit of hindsight confirms that, given not even the fine was able to be recovered, any additional money Council may have spent on having the costs order assessed would have been entirely wasted.

A marine research project, to be delivered on behalf of the the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) by Ballina-based Australian Seabird Rescue (ASR), is setting out to get a clearer picture about the levels of marine debris in Northern Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marine waters and its impact on wildlife in the region.

The first phase of the project, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marine Debris and Wildlife Interactions in the Northern Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, involves ASR coordinating with other local wildlife groups to gauge the numbers of native animals injured by marine (and estuarine) debris.

Ballina, Northern Rivers and Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers, WIRES in the Clarence and Tweed as well as National Parks and Marine Parks will all be opening up their records to allow for a region-wide snapshot of marine debris impacts.

The goal of the project is to produce valuable research information that can be used to improve decisions about marine resource management and conservation in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marine environment and address serious issues such as negative impacts on marine threatened species and their habitat.

Kathrina Southwell, the Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinator based at Australian Seabird Rescue,

said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We know the negative impacts of marine debris is a big problem, and seems to be getting worse each year. One of the incidents that stick in my mind is a Northern Giant Petrel which was brought to our attention, having swallowed a balloon and its tie-string. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We also had a Hawksbill sea turtle that was extremely congested, until she passed a 30cm long piece of plastic rope which had been blocking her stomach and would have eventually killed her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We at ASR are really looking forward to taking part in this important NRCMA marine research project and increasing public awareness.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; www.echo.net.au

is also considered as a form of procrastination about the fact that there is only one path to environmental integrity and that is to attempt to live simpler.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re told itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed for the ecoAdvertisement nomic health of the people but the behaviour of our economy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit that model.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model it does fit.

Our economy evolved from a patriarchal social system and is specifically geared to benefit the elite in that system. In the 21st century that means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We the people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own any money; our national currency is borrowed, at interest, from the privately owned central banks. The regular recessions are a deliberately engineered economic harvesting of the population. All recessions have been preceded by a dodgy financial product since 1929, when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;at callâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loans were so devastating to the people and so lucrative for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The last meltdown was due to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sub primeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mortgages. In every event, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what our economy has evolved to do.

Jim is right, the change can only come from the people because our political system also needs to change. It arose from the same patriarchal system, with the same imperatives and telling the same lies.

Consequently when the river level drops the water from the billabong starts to seep into the river and this augments and regulates its flow.

The perfect billabong should be serpentine in form with arms of tree planted earth alternating with stretches of water, if possible fenced off from domestic stock. They would then also function as mini wildlife retreats and could be also planted with usable timber species.

Collecting sonic heirlooms from among the treetops Story & photo Mary Gardner

I hear it at dawn when I wake up. The five notes up and down, the voice gliding from one to the next. This bird in the tree by my bedroom has a unique song. Once again, I wrap up in a robe and step out into the yard to see if I can spot which bird it is.

Somewhere in the tops of the unkempt bottlebrush tree there is rustling. There are bright lorikeets screeching, but I know the singer is not one of them. A fluster of wings somewhere else and the voice is gone.

Later in the morning, I hear it again. The voices of some birds, the passerines, are so expressive because of their remarkable anatomy. Like us, birds have a larynx but no vocal cords so they cannot use it for singing. But further down the windpipe, before it splits to go into each lung, there is a small bony box known as the syrinx.

As air moves through the syrinx, these membranes and the attached muscles are squeezed and flexed to alter loudness and pitch. Not every bird has the musculature to be musical. But the ones that do can also sing high and low notes simultaneously. The legendary larks, nightingales and

mockingbirds.

But these are not birds here in Byron. Whatever it is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why there must be two. Wait. I am sure I am hearing a duet. One bird starts and the other copies and elaborates. The beginning varies but there it is again. That same five note motif. The other voice flits around the phrase.

They are gone before I get up from the computer. The phone rings. I am off to a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearby for coffee. Their verandah is surrounded by trees. Some are paperbarks in flower. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Listen,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says my friend. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That song.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I freeze, straining to sense where is that singer. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We hear the very same song at my place too. Have you seen the bird?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he shakes his head. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But most days we hear it, maybe once or twice.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Walking back, I scan the trees. More lorikeets. Several elegant ibis. Noisy miners.

Brush turkeys. Magpies. But no singer.

Later, I am in the front of my house eying up the sky and wind. Which beach will be the best swim this afternoon?

There is that achingly beautiful song again. I slowly slip under the gum tree. This time, I spot the bird, head thrown back, and beak open.

That bald headed knob nosed friarbird! With its leathery head and dull colours, who would pick it to be one of the most melodious of birds?

Friarbirds are honeyeaters.

As a group. honeyeaters are unique to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, appearing in New Zealand and some Pacific Islands but most abundantly here in Australia. They are thought to have originated in Australia some fifty five million years ago. The most recent species the Eugenella was discovered a few years ago in the Clarke Ranges. The most endangered is the once ubiquitous Regent Honeyeater, of coastal NSW. Less than a hundred remain.

The friarbird seems abundant. Like other honeyeaters, it has a fringed tongue, like a paintbrush. It dabs at the nectar of a flower, ten darts per second. It squeezes its tongue against the roof of its mouth.

The liquids flow straight through a special chamber of the stomach directly to the intestines. The insects it may also eat are digested differently in an adjacent chamber of the stomach.

People often say there is a honeyeater species for every type of habitat throughout the country. The birds are well known for their association with uniquely Australian flowering plants. They are the most important pollinators for eucalypts, bottlebrushes and banksias among others.

Over months, they travel from one flowering area to another. They also have routes in a neighbourhood over a day.

Apart from singing, they also spread gossip, contentment and alarms.

Working inside on my computer, I hear all the news from our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tallowside Friarbirdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I think I understand a fair bit.

I hear it harangue other birds when they come by. It mutters cheerfully about the general state of the treetops. It cries out when the neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cat approaches.

But what always makes me stop is when that bird breaks into song, elaborating on its unique motif. It is becoming that hit tune of a certain era in not only my life but others too. What do the other birds

make of it?

Zoomusicologist Hollis Taylor recently completed a PhD on the musicality of pied butcherbirds. She defines their motifs and songs as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sonic heirloomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, learned from parents and others. She describes how, thorough mimicry and invention, their music continues as a vibrant progressive culture.

It has its own aesthetics.

Taylor, a successful classical violinist, describes months spent listening, recording and analysing pied butcherbirds songs in Western Australia.

They have a keen interest in song, in composition and in performance. They sing among themselves and train their young to join in. They perform in counterpoint with other species.

They imitate sounds from humans and their machines.

In turn, composers such as Olivier Messiaen and Henry Tate, as well as Taylor herself, use their melody lines in their orchestral works.

Taylor concludes that the interest and time spent by these birds â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;exceeds biological necessityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I think this might also be true for the honeyeaters here.

As I finish writing, that friarbird is nearby, throwing that motif around in the late afternoon like a saxophonist on a Byron street corner.

Desert adventure for ‘Dig Cook’ Another adventure that combines cooking with the romance and sheer hard work of archaeology begins for Byron Shire’s well-known ‘Dig Cook’ when she leaves Australia on April 18 to cook for a team of archaeologists in the Syrian desert.

Daniele and Ross from Bien-Etre

will be working for a team of archaeologists from the Australian National University and the University of Melbourne as they excavate the ancient site of Jebel Khalid on the banks of the Euphrates River in northern Syria. The site is a fortress established by Seleukos, one of Alexander the Great’s generals, in the third century BC. Regarded as a ‘rogue state’ by senior members of the Bush administration, Syria will offer new culinary challenges and experiences for Annie as she prepares meals for the 25 people who make up the project team.

Her journey to the dig site will take her to the ancient cities of Damascus and Aleppo – both of which claim to be the oldest inhabited cities in the world.

Weekends will be spent at the Baron Hotel in Aleppo, the atmospheric but faded hotel frequented in the 1930s by British spies pretending to be archaeologists while they kept watch on German generals and the German engineers building the railway line from Berlin to Baghdad.

Guests at the Baron have included Lawrence of Arabia, Agatha Christie (who wrote part of Murder on the Orient Express while staying there), the aviators Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, the film star Zsa Zsa Gabor, the kings of Egypt, Sweden and Jordan and numerous Arab sheikhs.

‘I knew I was going somewhere exciting and exotic when the Australian National University’s paperwork included a form headed “Travel to High-Risk Destinations”,’ Annie said. ‘I’m really looking forward to it. I love food and I know I’m going to gain a lot of great experience from my time in Syria.’

Training youth in theatre

The Theatre Collective’s production of ‘Chasing Rabbits’, December 2008.

Theatre director and teacher Rob Owens has teamed up with Rachel Thomas, academic teacher and theatre artist, to launch the 2010 Byron Theatre Collective’s Youth Training Group.

Originally set up in 2008, the training group provides an opportunity for highly talented young people from the Byron Shire to undertake quality theatre training commensurate with that offered in the major metropolitan centres.

The 2010 course will focus on professional acting practices, music in the theatre, storytelling, improvisation and

creative writing. Importantly, the training will also touch on areas within the liberal arts, including philosophy. Some young people have been asking for classes to help them prepare for the audition process of institutions such as NIDA and VCA. This will also be included in the course work.

Unlike with many other youth theatre companies, students undertaking the course with the Collective will be expected to explore and reflect on their work and articulate their own particular experiences and discoveries about creative processes. This heuristic ap-

proach will see them develop a discipline towards and an appreciation and ownership of their artistic preferences and work practices.

Classes will begin on Wednesday evening April 21.

They will be three hours long with the starting time negotiated after the group is formed.

Students between the ages of 16 and 21 years are invited to apply for inclusion. Auditions/ interviews will be held during the second week of the school holidays. Prospective students can register their interest by phoning 6685 3665 or 0402 081 327.

Peace walkers enjoy their local welcome

Last week the Footprints for Peace walk from Brisbane to Canberra came through Brunswick Heads and ByronBay where the peace walkers ‘were absolutely thrilled by a very warm and supportive welcome,’ say organisers. ‘The peace walk is raising awareness about creating a renewable energy and sustainable future as well as pointing out the deadly effects of the nuclear cycle.

‘Locals had organised two major events with great music and speakers in Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay where local projects towards sustainability such as the Mullumbimby Community garden project and the new Transition Towns

<echowebsection=Articles>

initiative could be shared. The walkers told the story of their message stick which was given by the Brisbane indigenous community.’

‘The message stick highlights how traditional indigenous cultures practised sustainable use of the land,’ said Dawn Joyce. This message stick will be delivered to Kevin Rudd in Canberra on May 25. Many residents participated in the walk from Brunswick Heads to Byron Bay and could experience that the peace walk is not always a walk in the park.

‘For two thirds of the way there was a storm and rain and everyone wanted to get to the destination as fast as possible.

We arrived in Byron tired and wet but happy, especially after a hot shower at the surf life saving club. Luckily the day fined up and we could renew our energy by the time the public event in Byron started.’

‘We would like to give a big thank you to everyone in the community, especially the local organisers and all the businesses and individuals who donated food and accommodation as well as to everyone for the cheers and beeping our way out to Suffolk Park,’ said June Norman.

‘Your support really uplifted us and we will remember this for a long time,’ said Di Jenkins. www.echo.net.au

Quota ladies to the rescue

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Quota ladies have been at it again, this time spreading the joy at the Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club.

Many of the services at the SLSC would not be available but for the generous donations of local charitable groups like Quota who spend untold hours rasing funds.

The Brunswick SLSC was pleased and proud to be the recipient of a defibrillator/oxyviva medical pack as a result of

efforts by Quota and the Combined Service Clubs breakfast in the park on Australia Day. The joint fundaising efforts from Quota International who donated $3,000 and combined services club breakfast which raised $2,000, covered the total cost of the new equipment.

This medical pack gives the Brunswick SLSC more flexiblilty in dealing with any first aid cases that happen around the beach.

‘The equipment will allow the club further capabilities

as both resucuers and trainers,’ said Bruns SLSC training officer Terry Currie. ‘It presents educational opportunities previously unavailable to the club.’

Club president Craig Reid was ecstatic with the gift which he says will get put to very good use at the club.

‘Both Quota International Brunswick Valley and the Combined Services Club Breakfast in the Park have been outstanding supporters of Brunswick SLSC,’ he said.

Local boy off to Youth Parliament Story & photo Victoria Cosford

It was on Facebook that Robby Clapham first heard about Youth Parliament. The Year 11 Brooklet boy ‘thought this could be interesting’, applied and was accepted to represent the Ballina electorate.

Youth Parliament is an initiative implemented by the NSW Council of YMCAs. Now in its ninth consecutive year, it provides a way for young people to put across their ideas about issues that concern them as well as an opportunity to advise NSW politicians and decisionmakers on matters affecting young people.

Robby, who attends Cape Steiner, told The Echo that in part he had been influenced by his aunt, who works in parliament. ‘My family’s very Liberal’, he said, ‘but she’s very Labor, very outspoken. Now I’ve spent more time with my aunt I’m very open to people’s opinions.’

He sent off his application and thought no more about it until an email arrived informing him that he had been selected. Once applicants have been selected they are placed in a team and over a 3-month period required to develop a bill about issues important to them. Robby told The Echo that his team’s topics are youths’ attitude to the gay community, housing issues for the youth www.echo.net.au

and youth mental health. There are 15 members in the team.

‘I’ve always had a passion about human rights,’ Robby said. ‘I believe that people are equal – that’s how I was raised.

It was like, I should do something; I feel I don’t do enough for the community.’

There are two camps as part of the program, a training camp which offers the chance to meet past participants and receive help and training with writing the bills, then a residential one when the bills are finalised then presented to MPs and State Ministers in NSW Parliament House. ‘I feel personally I should do some research beforehand!’ Robby said. ‘I don’t like feeling foreign to anything.’

This unique program sees young people replicating the role of the real member for their electorate. Apart from afford-

ing the opportunity to learn about the political process in NSW, it is also a way to develop public speaking, debating and writing skills. Nor is it just tokenism: at Youth Parliament in 2002 a team presented its bill about a uniform age for sexual consent and after Members of Parliament had brought it to the attention of Parliament, it was made law.

Robby’s father, Ian Clapham, told The Echo that ‘we were shocked and very proud of Robby’s initiative. Ellen, Robby’s mother, and I did not even know he had applied to get involved in the Youth Parliament. Robby is an extremely intelligent young man who often takes initiatives that surprise and sometimes amuse...’

Asked, however, if he was interested in a career in politics, Robby was quick to reply that he would prefer to be an actor.

‘Lately I’ve been led toward the performing arts – I’d like to act and be on a stage.’ Youth Parliament could provide the ideal grounding!

Participants have often found it valuable to obtain sponsorship from local businesses, youth associations or clubs and Robby has already received donations from the Bangalow Lions Club. He does need to find additional sponsors and anyone interested can contact him via email on ww3@live.com.au.

Make a statement about your street

Heartfelt journey ahead Victoria Cosford

Crispin Caoyonan is not yet one. So far in his short life he has experienced five weeks of intensive care, eleven anaesthetics, two blood transfusions, nine X-rays, nine dilatations, tracheo-oesophageal surgery, open heart surgery – and a ride in a chopper.

Born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) – or more accurately Tetralogy of Fallon (VACTERL) – he spent much of last year in and out of hospital. His mother, Suffolk Parkbased Kelley Caoyonan, told The art group c.a.s.e. Inc. at Station Street Studios is proud to announce that the popular ‘postcards’ community art event will be held for the sixth time in Mullumbimby. The community postcard-sized art show was previously hosted by c.a.s.e (community art space and education) in their old home at The Piece Gallery in Stuart Street Mullumbimby before it became a commercial gallery. c.a.s.e. is now located at Station Street Studios next to the Ross Industrial Estate in Mullumbimby.

The theme this year is ‘Streetscapes, postcards from your street’. This is a chance to express your ideas on what it means to live in this area.

Your work does not have to be a picture of your street, but could be idea, feeling or sense

of place about your local area.

It could be political, environmental, family orientated or picturesque. It could be what you care about, love or hate in your immediate environment.

The exhibition is open to anyone of any age living within our community, with the aim of fostering and encouraging creativity in all forms of art practice. Entries can be in any medium including: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital, mixed media, textiles, sculpture and assemblage.

Both two-dimensional (hanging on a wall) and threedimensional (eg sculpture) works will be accepted. The one criteria all entries must meet is size. For two-dimensional works the maximum size is

12.7cm x 17.78cm, for threedimensional works the maximum size is 12.7cm x 17.78cm x 17.78cm. All work is to be unframed and unmounted.

The entry fee has been kept accessible to all at $5 each adult entry and only $3 for anyone under 18 years old. All art must be original and the property of the artist.

The entries close on Saturday May 8, with the opening night on Friday May 14. Entries can be mailed or dropped off at Station Street Studios on the times stated on the entry form.

Susanna Pohlen will curate the exhibition. ‘c.a.s.e wishes to thank the many local businesses for their sponsorship and acknowledge

that an art event like this would be impossible without their generous support. The willingness of the businesses in our community to embrace this event, allows us to offer some wonderful prizes to winning entries.’

Entry forms are available from many local businesses displaying the ‘Streetscapes’ poster or by email at stationstreetstudios@hotmail.com. Any enquiries can be directed to Leonie Jonah, Kelley and Crispin.

Ocean Shores Art Expo on again The Ocean Shores Art Expo has started planning for August 2010. This year the Expo has a chance to flourish in ways not possible before by moving to a new venue. The Ocean Shores Primary School wants to promote its presence in the community and to expand its arts program. The Expo has been looking for a new home. It’s a perfect match! Expo President Ri Fraser and School Principal Chris Hauritz met to finalise the plan.

Ri said, ‹The school’s expansive space allows for the Expo to grow and diversify. There’s a huge interior space and many extra smaller rooms for history and demonstrations as well as huge outdoor spaces, lawns and trees. The school has been so enthusiastic and welcoming, and we already are dreaming up ideas of more prizes, more kids art, bigger sculptures, workshops and music stages.› Chris added, ‹Ocean Shores Public School is extremely excited about the new joint venture with Ocean Shores Art Expo and looks forward to hosting the Arts Expo at the school in 2010. The venue will be a fantastic way to promote the arts. To the already successful event we are looking at adding workshops for students and community and incorporating an artisans market. We see a fantastic future for this partnership.› For more information contact Ri Fraser on 6680 3040 or go to the website www.osartexpo.com.

The Echo that, largely thanks to the charity Heart Kids, the family was helped to ‘come to grips with our journey that lay ahead.’ Without the support of this organisation their sense of isolation would have been far greater and now Kelley is keen to raise awareness of it.

Heart Kids Australia is a not-for-profit charity focused on CHD, the greatest killer of Australian children under the age of 5. It works to support the families who have a child with heart disease (six babies a day are born with a heart condition), to reduce the incidence of CHD and to decrease its mortality rates. It employs Family Support Coordinators in children’s hospitals throughout the country, runs family activities, funds research into CHD, provides equipment and facilities, assists families with travel and accommodation needs and advocates the needs of CHD to Government.

Kelley heard about the organisation when she was 26 weeks pregnant. ‘It’s a great

told about the support network. Now Kelley wants people to know they are not alone and that ‘there’s something there for you.’

A physical education teacher at Byron Bay High School, Kelley has always been active – as has her husband – and now they have decided to participate in the annual Gold Coast Marathon in July ‘in an attempt to raise funds for Heart Kids and help support families like ourselves.’ Even their 4-year old Jonah will take part.

‘We figure that we’re an active family and we’ve always been an active family – we’ve got good hearts and we can run!’

To that end they are looking for sponsors, and already have the support of Bay Seafoods, Heart & Soul Health Club and Thomas Noble and Russell. Anyone interested in sponsoring Kelley and her family, donating goods or services they could raffle to raise funds – or even just wishing to join their team – can contact her on 6685 4638 or 0402 808 836.

Dyeing Easter

EGGS Dyeing eggs naturally is as much a science experiment for the kids as an art and craft activity. By experimenting with different foods, you can create a rainbow of colours with which to dye your Easter eggs. Hardboil your eggs ďŹ rst, and the kids can draw on the eggs with crayons before you dye them. The patterns will appear once they are coloured. If you want to keep your dyed eggs for a long time, you will need to blow out the egg. This can be tricky, so perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to simply make a basket full of colourful, hard-boiled eggs that will last as long as chocolate stash from the Easter bunny.

#OLD DIPPING METHOD 7ITH THIS METHOD THE EGGS AND THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE DYE ARE BOILED separately. Using a metal spoon, lower cooled hard-boiled eggs into a bowl of cooled dye, and let them soak for as little as 5 seconds or as long as overnight, depending on the depth of colour you desire.

Remove eggs with spoon, pat dry with paper towels, and let dry on a wire rack. The cold-dipping method produces subtle, translucent shades, but can result in uneven coloring unless the eggs are rotated vigilantly while in the dye.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time between drinks for Midnight Oil fans.

The only gigs in the last eight years have been at the Wave Aid and Sound Relief charity concerts. These exhilarating performances prompted a strong desire in drummer Rob Hirst and guitarists Martin Rotsey and Jim Moginie to start making music together in a new form in a musical collaboration called The Break.

In what might at first seem an unlikely union, the three founding members of Midnight Oil are joined by Brian Ritchie bass player of US band Violent Femmes. The Break are one of the featured acts at Bluesfest this year.

Seven caught up with Rob Hirst for a bit of a chat about making the break.

What has inspired you guys to get The Break together?

Rob: A shared obsession for twangy tortured guitars and tribal tom-toms.

Femmes & Midnight Oilâ&#x20AC;Ś is this like mixing oil and water?

Rob: Indeed. In fact Brian often complains that we three Oils keep rising to the surface.

How are The Break forging through with a new sound.. or their own sound?

Rob: Actually, rather than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;forge throughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; we thought we might try to sneak around the edges.

How important is it for artists like yourselves with significant pasts to surge forward?

Rob: Mandy, these are magnificent words: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;forge!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;surge!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Does the past success ever weigh you down when it comes to risk taking and new projects?

Rob: If anything, past success

has liberated us, allowing us to play this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;verby sci-fi surf music for no other reason than pure joy.

Do you think you guys are born rule breakers?

Rob: Iconoclasts, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us.

Do you think there is a swing back to music thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so heavily produced?

Rob: All of the tracks on our album, Church of the Open Sky, are first or second takes. No point primping and polishing this kind of stuff.

Surf Rock? How is it different? How do you bring the surf to the stage?

Rob: I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Brian Ritchie surfing. The Violent Femmes used to play with The Butthole Surfers. Does that count?

Why do you think there has always been such a synergy between surf culture and rock?

Rob: I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall those 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surf grommets back at Narrabeenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Antler Hotel having any discernable â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other than one involving great waves, bad sex in the sandhills and bouts of spontaneous drunken violence.

Why has it always moved you so profoundly?

Rob: Both surfing (about which we know little), and rock music (about which we know too much), often involve tiny moments of ephemeral transcendence followed by excruciating hours of mundanity and repetition. The pay-off is a drug. Indescribable.

The Awesome List There’s this tacky old cliché that says: ‘you need to see everything through the eyes of a child.’ Like most clichés it seemed like another piece of unwanted but well intended and misdirected parental advice. I never really got it.

Until now. Being a 42 year old mother of an 11 month homo sapien is fascinating.

I find this time round I’m noticing things that simply passed me by with my other kids. As a 20 year old and 30 year old mother (yes I’ve done it in every decade), I was far too wrapped up in myself, or stoned, or both, to really comprehend those daily milestones of human development. Baby Ivy is currently in the ‘oh my god the world is fricking awesome’ phase. Every time I expose her to a new experience I watch her tiny mind turn inside out in its struggle to fathom the new stimulus.

The other day I took her to a toy shop. She sat on the floor lurching up on her

haunches with an extended index finger pointing at the shelves stacked with trucks and blocks and dolls and gadgets and she screamed ‘Toooysss!’ She was actually shaking with excitement. It was overwhelming. I could almost hear her thinking ‘this place is awesome. Why didn’t you tell me about this before.’

She sat for about five minutes quivering and shouting in glee, not wanting anything in particular, just enjoying one of life’s many ecstasy baths. I don’t remember feeling like that for a very long time. Hang on, I did start to convulse at Louis Vuitton when they showed me the black patent stilettoes. When it came time to go, to leave the temple of awesome, baby Ivy became stiff, her little body protesting this sudden removal from Nirvana. ‘We just found this place. Why would we leave it? We should live here!’

She had the same reaction to a swing. The simple act of to and fro flipped her out. She was so happy she screamed and flapped and refused to be lifted out. It’s amazing how non-compliant a small bald Fred Bear-wearing midget can be. When its body says no, it’s almost impossible to get a purchase on it to lift. Swings: another experience to add to the Awesome List.

According to the eyes of my child, the world can be divided into two categories: awesome and not awesome.

On the awesome list, there are goldfish, a wooden panda, the feeling of grass under your hands, the frothy skirt of the ocean tickling your toes, being naked on sand, standing up by yourself, fish fingers, the Wiggles, Paul Kelly’s Foggy Highway, Dad.

Every time my partner or the kids come home they’re greeted like world famous celebrites. If I greeted them with the same enthusiasm they wouldn’t let me get out of the car. I’m so tempted to do it at school pickup: ‘Oh my god, it’s you, I haven’t seen you for six hours. Yay. Come on, check it out. Kiss Mummy.’

On the not so awesome list is the car seat, porridge, shoes, wearing clothes, sleeping alone, Panadol, hats, being made to lie still.

I have the faintest glimpse of the memory of being a child myself and trying to comprehend the world and make sense of it. There’s this feeling of wonder and magic, with every day holding the surprise of some new experience or discovery that would explode my brain into thousands of tiny pieces. The world really was an amazing place. It was an adventure.

Now it’s a credit card bill.

A sink full of dishes. A new wrinkle. Another five kilos to lose. It’s a cholesterol test.

A dog shit to pick up off the pavement. A parking fine.

A late assignment. A breast examination. A trolley full of shopping. A sleepless night.

A feeling of dissatisfaction.

Of disenchantment.

Of disconnection. That emotional rapture that happens to my child when she feels grass under her feet has left us. We no longer feel truly, absolutely and brain shatteringly awesome. So I have decided to develop my own ‘Awesome Restoral Therapy’. It’s a simple way to transport yourself back to essential happiness. Go to the beach, take off all your clothes and crawl around on all fours. If that doesn’t work, do a poo and try and have a conversation with a seagull.

I’ve tried it, and it’s fricking awesome.

Most people live a boxed life.

I call this box logic. There is a place for logic, I just don’t believe in letting it run my life.

How did you find your calling? What were you doing before you became a spiritual worker?

My spiritual calling came out of a deep desire to help people and be of service. A desire to make a difference in the world.

I discovered my talents lay in the healing arts and I have always been attracted to stone, specifically the pounamu or sacred greenstone of Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Pounamu is the stone of love and healing. In the legends of the Maori, Io their creator god anchored love and healing in this stone to hold it on Earth.

What will you be doing in your workshop?

My workshop is designed to connect you with your passion and your purpose. To begin to clear the blocks that are holding you back using storytelling and subtle but powerful transformational processes.

ROCKWIZ

Bluesfest the Best This year sees Bluesfest make its way to Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, a brand new home for this world class event. This year Bluesfest is boasting one of the best lineups in years, with Donavan, Jeff Beck, Jack Jonson, Crowded House, Gypsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club, Buddy Guy and much much more. With a lineup that encapsulates some of the best music from all over the globe, it’s impossible to really do the festival justice without publishing a small book. At 21, the festival has come of age. Get yourself out there and become part of the story of a festival that you can tell your kids about.

Heck, you can bring your kids!

AWARDS!

The RocKwiz team is breaking out of the confines of the Gershwin Room and hitting the stage at Bluesfest for three amazing shows on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! In case you didn’t already know, Julia Zemiro and Brian Nankervis host Australia’s premier music trivia quiz show recorded live in St Kilda’s hallowed Gershwin Room, deep in the bosom of the legendary Esplanade Hotel. Each episode of RocKwiz gob smacks its audience with two mystery musical maestros. Four extremely lucky punters from the audience, having survived the preliminary ‘death match’, have little time to bask in the honour before said maestros storm the stage for epic solo performances. No one is unsure of the incredible stakes (bragging rights) when Brian unleashes Julia on the stage and the two teams are pitted against each other in six rounds of fearsome music trivia! And just when you think this is too much entertainment for even the most jaded viewer we ice the cake and astound you with entirely live music! That’s right. The RocKwiz

Thanks to the initiatives of previous owner Karin Oxford and the willingness of Festival Director Peter Noble to continue the good work, Bluesfest has been recognised as an international winner in The Greener Festival awards. Awarded last September, this The new site at Tyagarah – Photo Tao Jones was for an impressive three years in a row, more than any other Australian festival – and a tribute to the event’s ongoing and long-term commitment to environmental sustainability.

Bluesfest also just won the Rhythms Magazine Readers Poll for ‘Best Australian Festival’ for the 16th time. Way to go and thank you to everyone who voted for us! Bluesfest was also the first music festival to be nominated for a prestigious Australian Events Award. Bluesfest was nominated for the Best Cultural or Arts Event alongside the Sydney Festival 2009 and Adelaide Fringe 2009. The award eventually went to the 16th Biennale of Sydney. Bluesfest was also recently nominated as the Best Overseas Festival in the UK Festival Awards! Unlike any other Australian event, Bluesfest has twice had the honour of being nominated as Best International Music Festival by US concert bible ‘Pollstar’ in 2005 and 2006 alongside world renowned events such as Britain’s Glastonbury and Switzerland’s Montreux Jazz Festival. And closer to home, Bluesfest has twice won the prestigious Helpmann Award for Best Contemporary Music Gipsy Kings – Crossroads Saturday 10.30pm Festival in Australia, also in 2005 and 2006.

WHAT’S YOUR PASSION?

Orkestra of Peter ‘Lucky’ Luscombe, James ‘Maestro’ Black and Mark ‘Felt-tipped’ Ferrie, not only perform every lick of melody, every cliché of genre, every chop of tune, but, in an orgy of genuflection, they bring the stars to the show’s musical climax with the legendary, ARIA award winning, duets.

THE GIPSY KINGS The Gipsy Kings are that rare thing – a household name famous solely for their music. Without peer, they are the planet’s most successful world music artists, and probably the best flamenco guitar artists in the world too! While they are the most successful French music group in history and they have sold more than 18 million albums worldwide, the Gipsy Kings make music as communion, artistry rooted in the past yet focused on the future. The Gipsy Kings consist of two bands of brothers: the Reyes (Nicolas, Canut, Paul, Patchaï, André) and the Baliardos (Tonino, Paco, Diego). Initially, the Reyes and Baliardos busked on the streets of Cannes, and played weddings and parties, flavouring flamenco with Western pop and Latin rhythms. When an American admirer told the band their name Los Reyes meant ‘The Kings’ in English they realised they were born to be Gipsy Kings. In 1987 their self titled debut album introduced the world to rumba gitano – the sound of South America’s rumba rhythm married to flamenco guitars – and the track ‘Bamboleo’ was a huge international hit.

Since then the Kings have never stopped singing to the world. Today the Gipsy Kings still live with their families in the south of France. Life may have changed for them – they no longer busk on streets or pick crops when times are hard or travel in caravans – but still, at heart, they remain Gypsies, the proud descendants of an ancient people who seduced the world with music and dance. On their new album, Pasajero, the Gipsy Kings continue their epic musical journey. When the Gipsy Kings hit Byron Bay over Easter 2010, they are sure to set your soul on fire!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that Fat Freddys Drop, the seven-piece soul powerhouse from Wellington New Zealand, sell out gigs purely through word of mouth. See this band live, and you will not be disappointed! Since they first toured in Europe in 2003 their success has taken them around the world in 80 days an estimated 11.5 times. They have played at the Roundhouse, London Le Zenith in Paris, Brixton Academy, Columbiahalle, Berlin, Sonar Festival in Barcelona, Glastonbury, WOMAD and the Detroit Music Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve absorbed a few influences along the way: Berlin Bashment, Portuguese Top Forty, Tooting Bhangra Beat and Montmartre TV Shop Techno Hi-Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, reports trumpet player Tony Chang on the musical stopovers of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative process. In 2009 Fat Freddys Drop released their second album Dr Boondigga & The Big BW in 2009. It shipped Gold on release in New Zealand, hit platinum in four days and went straight to number one on the New Zealand Music Album charts where it stayed for five weeks straight. Dr Boondigga & The Big BW was named Best Aotearoa Roots Album along with nominations for Album of The Year, Best Group and Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Award. The album is the successor to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2005 debut album Based On A True Story, which also went straight to number one in New Zealand, reached eight times platinum and won a raft of awards including Gilles Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Worldwide Album of The Year in the UK.

The Swell Season is the Oscar-winning duo of Frames front man Glen Hansard and Czech pianist and vocalist Marketa Irglova. This Australian visit for Bluesfest follows mesmerising Australian performances in early 2009, including multiple sold out Sydney Opera MOJO STAGE House concerts in January. The new Swell 10.00pm Jack Johnson Season album, the sensational Strict Joy, 8.30pm Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club is the follow up to their Once film and 7.00pm Donavon Frankenreiter soundtrack. Marketa and Glen acted in 5.30pm Newton Faulkner the film out of necessity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise it 4.00pm Galactic featuring Cyril Neville wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been made.

AVETT BROTHERS A favourite support choice for the Dave Matthews Band, the Avett Brothers have ‘next big thing’ written all over them. Their major label debut album (their sixth overall) has just been released on Sony and was produced by Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Jakob Dylan, Tom Petty). This excellent record further cements their intriguing southern roots sound which the San Francisco Chronicle describes as having the ‘heavy sadness of Townes Van Zandt, the light pop concision of Buddy Holly, the tuneful jangle of the Beatles, the raw energy of the Ramones.’ Festival Director Peter Noble is already betting they will be the talk of the festival!

There is no harmony like brotherly harmony. Something indelible in the weave of voices and play of sensibilities is stamped into the fraternal DNA and also stems from a lifetime of shared experiences. You can clearly hear fraternal magic at Avett Brothers work on I and Love and You, which is – Mojo Thursday 6.00pm, Friday 7.00pm the Avett Brothers’ big-label debut – a rootsy amalgam of folk, country, bluegrass, rock and pop with a jab of punk-style dynamics here and there. Avett Brothers are a grassroots phenomenon, pioneers of ‘punkgrass’, built from the ground up. See them at Bluesfest and just try and wipe the smile from your face!

Taj Mahal – Crossroads Sunday 7.15pm, Monday 5.30pm

Yet another classic artist is visiting Australia for the Bluesfest 21st Anniversary party and select sideshows. Born Henry St. Claire Fredericks in Harlem, New York, in 1942, blues-legend Taj Mahal grew up in Massachusetts. You could call Taj a singer, composer, producer, two-time Grammywinner, world-class musical collaborator, musicians’ advocate, world traveller, fisherman or cigar aficionado. These titles are all accurate, yet none convey the warmth, humour, and soulfulness of Taj and his music. Taj has been playing his own distinctive brand of music – variously described as Afro-Caribbean blues, folkworld-blues, hula blues, folk-funk, and a host of other hyphenations – for more than 40 years. A 2009 inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame, Taj Mahal has received a huge nine Grammy Award nominations over his career, and had won two of these. The first in 1997 with Best Contemporary Blues Album for

Bluesfest program & guide presented by The Byron Shire Echo March 30, 2010 SeĂąor Blues, and again in 2000 with Best Contemporary Blues Album for Shoutinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Key. 2008 saw his most recent Grammy nomination again for Best Contemporary Blues Album for his most recent record, Maestro. A self-taught musician, Taj plays more than 20 instruments using Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, Latin and Cuban sounds and rhythms mixed with folk, jazz, zydeco, gospel, rock, pop, soul, and R&B â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all layered on top of a solid country blues foundation. Let the good times roll.

RENEE GEYER An absolute Australian legend, Renee Geyer is a consummate entertainer with a proud body of work that still transfixes a room with the power of her song. Her career began around 1971 in Sydney, when a girlfriend took her along to the rehearsal of friends who were forming a band. From there, things began to snowball. Her reputation found its way to America and led to an invitation to record an album in Los Angeles with famed Motown producer Frank Wilson. While the album Movinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Along

The Fray â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mojo Monday 10.00pm

provided another hit at home, in America â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heading in the Right Directionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; created confusion. R&B stations loved the record, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do when they discovered Geyer was a white Jewish girl from Australia. For the next few years, Geyer bounced between Australia and America and released albums, which include So Lucky, Difficult Woman and Sweet Life. Her career has never stalled. Now an ARIA â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hall Of Fameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; member, Renee Geyer released her career-spanning album Reneessance in 2009. RenĂŠe sings as if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling every song for the first time; reconfirming her unassailable position as Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier soul vocalist.

THE FRAY Here is another â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;next big thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for you, and a treat for Bluesfest fans of all ages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a whirlwind couple of years for The Fray, the Denver-based quartet whose earnest and melodic songs have been striking a huge chord with audiences around the world. Formed in 2002 by Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King (guitar, vocals), The Fray owe all of their early success to their organic, grassroots beginnings. In other words, they did it the old fashioned way: they earned it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear much anymore these days: local area gigs led to enthusiastic local press and local radio support. Of course, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second album simply called The Fray, followed suit in 2009 and peaked at the number one spot on the Billboard charts selling 179,000 copies in its first week! The album went on top reach #3 on our ARIA charts and has achieved Gold status in Australia. Make sure you see The Fray live at Bluesfest and witness this chapter in a great bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. But, to be sure, it is the first chapter in the story of a band that promises to be around for a long, long time.

What can you say about this Bluesfest favourite and absolute blues legend? Buddy Guy is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to that city’s halcyon days of electric blues. While firmly ensconced in his blues roots, Guy has always tried to keep his music looking forward – even at the risk of alienating lovers of traditional blues sounds. His last album, Bring ‘Em In, found Guy trading licks with the likes of Carlos Santana and John Mayer on a set of songs featuring covers of classic soul songs. On his latest album, Skin Deep, Guy offers an endorsement to such younger players as pedal steel virtuoso Robert Randolph and husband-and-wife guitar slingers Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. These musicians serve as a living response to the question Guy raises on the song ‘Who’s Gonna Fill Those Shoes,’ featuring pre-teen guitar whiz Quinn Sullivan, in which he reflects on the future of the blues beyond his revolutionary generation. ‘I just try to get the best players, and hope I can pop the top off this can and show that the blues are back,’ he says. ‘I learn from them – bring them in and see what they can do. And these guys got me feeling like when I was 22 years old and went into the studio with Muddy Waters.’ Buddy has received five Grammy Awards, 23 WC Handy Blues Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Yet despite this long list of achievements, Buddy Guy and his music remain as vital as ever.

affinity for hip-hop beats’ and Rolling Stone praising ‘…Butler at his brand new best, blending his influences into a sound that John Butler has become a fantastic defining artist at Bluesfest is all his own.’ And what influences they are: Bob Marley, Martin and has been with us for a long time, moving from our smaller Luther King Jr, Jeff Lang, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, stages to today, where he headlines our main stage. He is Noam Chomsky, and Buckminster Fuller to name a few. The John Australia’s number one independent musician and someone very Butler Trio was a favourite at iconic festivals like Fuji Rock Festival, much at home at Bluesfest. But in 1998 John Butler was busking Glastonbury, Boonaru, Big Day Out and at Coachehella, where solo on the streets of Fremantle, WA. Fast forward a decade and Bruce Fessier of USA Today proclaimed, ‘John Butler revealed he became Australia’s most successful independent artist with himself to be arguably the finest guitarist at the Festival’. In 2009 his own label, Jarrah Records, scoring a staggering 800,000 the new line-up for the trio was announced as bass player Byron CD sales. John Butler is also a three time ARIA award winner, Luiters, who has been a member of Sydney outfit The Ray Man including two in 1997 for the Grand National album which Three, and drummer and percussionist, Nicky Bomba, who was scooped Best Independent Release and Best Blues and Roots the principal drummer on the band’s five time platinum album Release, as well as garnering high praise from the Washington Sunrise Over Sea. The John Butler Trio’s fifth studio album, April Post, which described his music as ‘sauntering boogies with Uprising, will be released in 2010.

CROWDED HOUSE

TICKETS

Bluesfest is extremely proud to present Crowded House for the first time ever in 2010. One of our region’s greatest ever bands, Crowded House don’t perform all that often, making their appearance at Bluesfest 2010 a real event! With incredible songs ranging from ‘Weather With You’ and ‘Four Seasons In One Day’, to ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, ‘Fall At Your Feet’ and ‘Locked Out’ – this band is one for the ages. Back to their best following their 2007 reunion and studio album of new critically acclaimed material, Time on Earth, Crowded House are ready to shake up Byron Bay over Easter. The band also has their new 2010 album due early in the year, so there will be even more exciting new material to showcase along with their hits! So how did it all happen? The tragic death of original drummer Paul Hester in 2005 further concentrated main songwriter Neil Finn’s mind: ‘I thought, these relationships that you have in your life are rare and precious.

Why wouldn’t you just grab them?’ So Finn and original member Nick Seymour decided if it was going to be like what they had, they had to have a brilliant drummer. Enter Matt Sherrod, who has previously played with Beck, along with US-based keyboard player Mark Hart, a veteran of the lineup who made Together Alone in 1993. And thus, with live music once more in the ascendant and strong songs as much of a premium as ever, this happy few with its strong bond with a worldwide audience and its exceptionally deep catalogue of songs, set forth on a new voyage with something of the dauntless, damn-the-torpedoes spirit of third agers on an adventure holiday. Bring it on!

Tickets can be purchased by phoning the Bluesfest office on 02 6685 8310 or visiting the website at www.bluesfest.com.au

LATEST IN HI-TECH MOVIE PRESENTATION Cr Kerr & Fox Streets ADMINISTRATION:

which this is based, but know Christopher Isherwood through his Berlin novels. This feels in tune with them and George’s ultimate revelation, that everything is as it should be, is a piquant liberation for a solitary man made aware of his own mortality. ~ John Campbell How To Train Your Dragon In ten years we’ll doubtless be wondering what all the fuss was about, but right now 3D is all the rage. Whether the hype is justified (Avatar) or whether it merely camouflages an otherwise ordinary film (Alice In Wonderland), one thing seems certain – animation will never be the same again. This is a classic example of the type of movie that the new technology will best serve. As impressive in design and as life-affirming in its morality as any of the Disney/ Pixar cartoons of recent times, in 3D it is simply fantastic. The story is set sometime in the mythical past, on a barren island inhabited

by Vikings whose traditional raison d’être has been to hunt and kill dragons. That they all have heavy Scots accents will not sit well with history buffs, but geez, if you can accept the idea of flying dragons then the phonetics hardly matter. Hiccup, the weedy teenage son of Stoick, the clan’s hairy alpha male, is no chip off the old block. As a rite of passage, he and a handful of other boys and girls must prove themselves in combat with the fire-breathing reptiles – their entry into the arena is a cute borrowing from Gladiator. No way will Hiccup meet his Old Man’s expectations but, worse than that, he shames him with his ineptitude. Alone one night, Hiccup shoots a sling into the sky and brings down the dreaded Black Dragon. Instead of slaying the beast, he feeds it and designs a prosthetic tail-wing that will allow it to once more take to the air. The secretive relationship is outed, from which point Hiccup’s challenge is to make his people see the world through different eyes.

Characterizations are consistent and recognizable, the artwork is breathtaking in both the big picture and the minutiae – the barnacles on the boats’ hulls, the ash from the climactic battle that eerily floats into the cinema – and the action sequences are thrilling.

References abound, from Manga (the gorgeous little punk, Astrid),

Carter’s Red Queen, Crispin Glover’s gangly Stayne Knave of Hearts or Matt Lucas’ rotund Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the technical virtuosity on display is breathtaking. The film is actually a sequel of sorts as Alice, now 19 years of age, returns to Underland a teenager at the crossroads in her life. Of the various denizens of Underland, Johnny Depp is suitably befuddled as the Mad Hatter, his shocks of orange hair and constantly moving eyeballs show a mischievous glimpse at the madness within. Anne Hathaway’s transcendent White Queen exudes an ethereal beauty and is the perfect antidote to Bonham Carter’s venomous Red Queen.

to Hagar the Horrible (Stoick), to ET (always there is ET) – even Michelangelo gets a nod in a supremely mushy scene that has Hiccup reaching out to touch the awesome dragon that might so easily annihilate him. You’d never guess in a million years what happens to Hiccup at the end – it’s odd, to say the least, but it somehow makes his achievement more heroic and him more human.

A Single Man George (Colin Firth), an English college professor living in LA, is devastated when Jim (Matthew Goode), his partner of sixteen years, is killed in a car accident.

The memorial service, he is told over the phone, will be for members of the family only.

It is 1962 and George is of an age to not be surprised by such callous rejection, but his ingrained stoicism is barely able to see him through the tragedy.

Excepting for the pink mohair jumper and white jeans worn by Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), a student who pursues George with amorous intent, first time writer/ director Tom Ford steers well clear of stereotypes. He declines the knucklehead’s option of making a limp wristed sideshow of his lead’s homosexuality and, even better, resists the temptation to climb on a soap box and browbeat us about discrimination, understanding that the power of his message lies in its uncluttered narrative and in Firth’s restrained, near passive persona. But anyway, the film is less about gays and straights as it is about the nature of love itself and the spiritual ruin its loss can result in – how heartfelt it is when George asks what happened to the dogs. Alone, he must deal with the tyranny of grief’s dreadful dreariness. Suicide is an option but, in a scene of absurd but authentic gallows humour, George’s innate fastidiousness gets in the way of him executing the deed – having put Catallani’s ‘La Wally’ (The Farewell) on the turntable to accompany the act, he cannot set the pillows right on his bed for his final resting place.

As you should expect from a fashion designer, Ford’s visuals are stylish and his period recreation impeccable. A subdued palette augmented by a beautiful score that lets the moment speak for itself without barging in on it creates a mood that is more reflective and fatalistic than doleful, while shrewd and relevant time-jumps ensure that the pacing is not nobbled by the sombre theme. Julianne Moore is great as Charley, a heavy drinking divorcee whom impolite society might once have labelled George’s fag hag. Though his confidante, she too is only able to see George’s relationship with Jim as a substitute for the real, ie heterosexual, thing. I am unfamiliar with the book upon

Contrary to a recent Snippet, there is no truth in the rumour that Byron Bay’s Balcony restaurant is on the market. On the contrary, its management assures The Echo they have never been more passionate or motivated about operations. With a wine list that for two years running has made it on to Gourmet Traveller Wine’s top national wine menu list (an impressive 40 of which are available by the glass), over 2,000 cocktails shaken, stirred or muddled every week and a menu which sources ‘the best of the breed in the business’ – and largely local at that – it has grown up considerably from its former days and reputation as a purely-party destination.

a Piave, a rare aged cow’s milk cheese from the Veneto, one with which I am unfamiliar and which is a little like a gruyere, working divinely with the Tar & Rose’s Sangiovese.

Next up, two types of the ewe’s milk cheese known as pecorino, one the classic Romano and the other a fresh Calcagne. The former, one of the oldest cheeses in existence, around in the first century AD, is the best known known: hard and salty, it is best used grated, unlike the latter. Fresh pecorinos are lush cheeses often only 30 days old, sweet and faintly nutty. The Tuscan Regional Institute for Educational Research (IRRE Toscana) suggests that it ‘should be eaten in the same humble manner in which the… peasant combated hunger and fatigue: with bread and pears, with raw bacelli beans in the radiant months of Spring, with polenta and slices of garlic for those who like intense, extraordinary tastes, with brown bread and onions on days spent outdoors.’ With these we drink a big (as they tend to be) Shiraz by Tar & Roses. Tar & Roses also made the fruity, spicy Tempranillo up next to go with the Fontina: a soft wine for a soft cheese. Fontina, Di tells us, is a washed-rind style made in the Aosta Valley in northwest Italy. Funny how convivial the room has suddenly become, questions popping out and opinions exchanged on our cheese and wine flights. Taleggio, another washed-rind, is almost overwhelmed by a Thorne-Clarke Nebbiolo, a big dry wine when something more delicate might have suited. By the time the ‘sweet’ course arrives – gorgonzola with a Rutherglen Tokay and quince paste – I, cheeselover of all time, am wondering if I will ever eat cheese again. I soldier on magnificently, loving it, although beginning to doubt by this sated stage my powers of discernment. It is a fabulous event notwithstanding!

All the cheeses on the night are available at Blue Olive Deli and Citrus Deli, both in Byron Bay.

Time was – and not so long ago – when our experience of Italian cheeses in this country was confined to malodorous powdered ‘Parmesan’ which came in green tins and hardenough-to-bounce balls of ‘mozzarella’, tiny heads on fat round bodies with a spectacular absence of flavour. Even about twenty years ago in Sydney when the Italian-run Paesanella Cheese Factory was turning out fresh ricotta cheese to great excitement the actual product was watery, tasteless and distinctly unexciting – and yet it was a step forward.

Many steps later here we are, a group of about twenty adults gathered in a Byron Bay café on a midweek night for an Italian Cheese and Wine Tasting. Wind whips at the plastic shading; we settle at long tables on two different dining levels, and meet our presenters, Cheese Please’s Di Vickery and Peter Panousis from Mezzanine Wines.

Our individual menus list six cheeses with accompanying wines and culinary appendages devised by chef/owner Jade, and on the tables are baskets of breads and crackers. Di and Peter alternate between the two levels throughout the evening, discussing each course’s choice and answering questions.

The actual wines are of Italian variety only, as opposed to origin. The Alta Pinot Grigio which kicks off the evening – to go with Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano – is glorious, delicate, and as similar to an Italian Pinot Grigio as I could hope for. It matches both cheeses beautifully, especially the grainy, tangy, crumbly, salty parmesan with its exploding pockets of sweetness – to my mind one of the great Italian table cheeses.

Its poorer cousin Grana Padano is bland in comparison – only really good for use in cooking or grating over pasta. Both these cheeses belong to the classification known as Grana – meaning granular – a hard variety of which the other two types are the lesser known Lodigiano and Piacentino (all the names denoting provenance).

Spencer, Abbotsleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pet chicken, four years ago accidentally ingested 300 milligrams of lysergic acid diethylamide and has never been the same since. She pecks at the ground to a syncopated rhythm and can be found staring deeply into plants.

Abbotsleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habit of dyeing her a vivid purple adds to the impression of eccentricity beyond and above the usual ethos of poultry.

I mention Spencer because she is the mascot of the annual Grape-Throwing Festival we hold on the weekend after Easter, most of us sufficiently recovered from celebrating the rites of Eostre, the goddess of rebirth and fertility. She sits quite contentedly in a small wooden throne on the railing of the Clubhouse deck, her nodding bonce supporting a bright yellow paper crown.

The festival is relatively simple by modern festival standards.

Chaps stand along the railing and lob dark grapes, preferably the Spanish Bobal variety, towards a bronze statue of the satyr Silenus, who taught Bacchus everything there is to know about wine, seated upon his ass some 20 metres away in the paddock. Silenusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth is wide open, as if caught midsong, and chaps aim to feed the satyr with their throws.

stars WITH LILITH

ARIES: The trinity of Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries aligned with Tuesday’s full moon in your partnership department offers a brilliant configuration for clearing tension between you and others with an honest heart to heart – especially if you back up your words with action.

TAURUS: This week’s full moon in your health sector supports new fitness initiatives and dietary adjustments, while Venus moving into Taurus is a sure fire money magnet. Then Mercury applies the planetary cattle prod to your normally steady pace and there you go – flavour of the week, Taurans.

GEMINI: This week gets serious about relationship changes.

Your planetary ruler moving to the sign of practicality wants nuts and bolts discussions with partners about shared finances, the balance of power and all that stuff you normally avoid. Don’t make that face – it has to be done sometime.

The world wide web offers an astonishing array of goodies for Australian chessplayers, a population formerly starved of both news and quality opposition.

On the international news front, it is hard to go past chessvibes.com and chessbase.com, with the former continuing to break new ground with their use of video reports.

However, there are plenty of other impressive English language news sites with a national or regional flavour, eg. main. uschess.org (US) and chessdom. com (Balkan), the latter breaking a lot of news related to the upcoming Anand-Topalov world title match. Indian newspapers cover chess stories daily and many interesting newspapers chess columns (such as the New York Times) are available online.

For competitive games, the big three are chessclub.com, playchess.com and chess.com. All allow free visitor access but charge a fee for regular members. One could argue that for Australian juniors the ability to play on the net against opponents around the world – on a computer or even

This week’s main astral event is Tuesday’s full moon in fair minded, harmony loving Libra – excellent for extending the olive branch and making peace wherever it’s needed…

CANCER: Full moon’s always a potent time for the Crab clan and if this week’s activates money issues with partners or colleagues, then expressing strong feelings honestly without playing the blame game will go a long way towards clearing roadblocks to harmonious progress.

LIBRA: You red hot lovers are at your most enchantingly charismatic during Tuesday’s annual Libra full moon, hotly followed by a late week Venus move bringing pleasant respite from economic complications and encouraging some delicious self indulgence. Looking like a very tasty week, Venus people…

CAPRICORN: Tuesday’s full moon in your professional sector could bring a situation that’s been brewing for some time to a head through someone’s over the top reactions or demanding behavior. But if you listen up and negotiate intelligently you should be able to benefit from the inevitable.

LEO: This week everyone’s trying to keep up with the rapidly changing pulse of current business trends, so focus that fix-it brain on figuring out clever ways to turn the present circumstances to your advantage and convert liabilities into pluses.

It’s called making your own luck…

SCORPIO: With Tuesday’s full moon and late week moon in Scorpio, drama will only create complications. Don’t force issues because best results are more likely from sitting back and watching for the right time to act – you’ll know when it is. Let confusions unravel and clarify themselves.

AQUARIUS: Tuesday’s full moon turns up the volume on your social life, but when Venus settles into your home zone at the end of the week for a period of home entertaining, revamping or just enjoying the familiarity of feelgood, domestic pleasures, that’s where you’ll get your best ideas.

VIRGO: If full moon in your house of savings has you feeling a bit possessive and doubtful about sharing, consider positives as well as negatives. Don’t take on everything you hear – this ultra stubborn week requires flexibility, hardly too big an ask for mutable sign you.

SAGITTARIUS: This hot headed, quick tempered week could see a clash of beliefs, problems with authority, challenging office politics or domestic power plays.

So watch your words, go easy on the sharp remarks and above all remember not everyone shares your quirky sense of humor.

PISCES: If the full moon raises a few tricky blips on your emotional radar, it’s advisable not to over-react. This definitely isn’t the week to request feedback if you want the politely sugarcoated kind, so don’t ask unless you’re ready for the full unedited blast.

Paralympics looking for sponsorship for future success The Australian Paralympic Winter Team returned to Australia from the Vancouver Games last Wednesday and was welcomed back at Sydney Airport by family, friends and Therese Rein, who is a member of the Honorary Governing Board of the International Paralympic Committee.

The team of eleven athletes doubled Australia’s medal haul from the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games, with four medals, and achieved seven top five and fifteen top ten placings, all by its Alpine Skiing athletes.

The results placed Australia thirteenth on the total medal tally for the Games, ahead of traditional winter sport powerhouses Switzerland and Sweden.

The Chef de Mission of the 2010 Australian Paralympic Team, Michael Hartung, said that the results were very satisfying.

‘The Australian people should be extremely proud of their Paralympic representatives,’ said Mr Hartung.

Mr Hartung said that the Vancouver Games had shown how strong Paralympic sport has become internationally.

In the men’s standing class, Australia’s strongest area of representation, the fifteen medals on offer were shared among seven countries, with Australia being the only one of those with more than one medallist in the class.

One of those was Cameron Rahles-Rahbula, who displayed his two bronze medals,

from the Slalom and the Super Combined. Rahles-Rahbula described the Games as ‘unbelievable’ and praised the support the Team had received, in particular from its coaching, technical and medical staff.

Head coach Steve Graham said that in his 20 years of international coaching experience, he had never before been at a competition which had offered the extremes of weather and conditions as the athletes experienced in Vancouver.

‘Different snow conditions and courses suit different athletes and we had a lot of feedback from other coaches and athletes that Cameron’s bronze in the Slalom was really the equivalent of a gold, as the con-

ditions were just so unsuitable for a skier on one leg.

‘There is no doubt that Australia is now considered a major player in Paralympic Alpine Skiing.’

When asked about their future plans in Paralympic Alpine Skiing, Australia’s three medallists – Rahles-Rahbula and Jessica Gallagher – were uncertain, looking forward to a break after a tough campaign. Gallagher, however, is sure of one thing.

She has her sights set on London as she changes her focus from the snow slopes to the athletics field, in search of a summer medal to match her Slalom bronze from Vancouver.

The Echo spoke to Paul Mayberry, father of Paralympic sil-

ver medallist Marty who was home from his trip to Canada to see Marty race. ‘Next for Marty is to focus on his medical degree and he is getting married in June here at our home in Ewingsdale,’ said Paul who is ecstatic at his son’s medal win. ‘His view of ski racing at the moment is that it takes an enormous amount of time and effort to stay near the top of the elite level. Marty has spent six of the last nine months training mostly on and some off snow, so he is taking a break. He hasn’t been home at Christmas for six years.’

Even though the Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) is rejoicing after a successful Vancouver Winter Paralym-

pics, it is still counting on further corporate and government support.

The 10th Paralympic Winter Games Team budget was $1.2 million, largely public donations and sponsorship, while separately the APC invests $445,000 of its overall annual Federal Government funding in the winter program.

APC Chief Executive Jason Hellwig said from Vancouver today that he knew Australia was proud of its Paralympic team of 11 athletes, which won 4 medals (1 silver, 3 bronze) over the past 10 days of competition.

‘We’ve had the biggest impact back home that we’ve ever had for a winter Games,’ Hellwig said. ‘We know the Australian public wants to see it and they’ve got more access to it through raw media exposure.

‘We hope that translates to young people with a disability wanting to get involved in sport and compete successfully on the world stage. There are pathways to get into sport whether you want to do it recreationally or at the elite level.’

The Australian Team budget for the next winter Games in Sochi, Russia, in 2014 is already being drawn up.

to address. We’ve got Federal Government funding which retires over the next 12 to 24 months and we’re working with the Government to not just retain that, but get some increases,’ he said.

‘People will see here a program that is great value for money. We’ve got a minimum budget but we also know what we want to do with any additional funding or resources that might become available to us.

‘Looking ahead to Sochi, we’re going to need, somehow, to find additional funding in order to maintain our competitiveness and then to grow again.

‘If we have new sports come on board (snowboarding is on the agenda) then that’s a cost impost we need to address.

Growing the number of athletes brings additional costs.

They’re good problems to have but we’ll need to address them.’

‘We realise Paralympic sport has only relatively recently come from the margins of Australian sport and more into the centre of it,’ he said.

‘I hope these winter Games demonstrated the value of the Australian investment through public donations and government funding.’

Hellwig also called on big business to take a closer look at the Paralympics. ‘I hope we get more corporate interest as well – that they see the value of this world-class product.’

Ocean’s 13 is lucky for swimmers Mullum swim club

Adrian Filipics Ocean’s 13: Front row – Jemma Holt and Ava Cormack, middle row Shaun Booth, Cody Plautz, Gabi Kay,I sabella Brett, Abbey Lang and Julian Dorfer and in hte back row, Nicole Dorfer, Ciara Clements, Toby Pauling, Davis Jensen, coach Adrian Filipic and Aaron Kearney all of swimmers ar Ocean Shores Aquatics

Adrian Filipic has had a great season as coach at Ocean Shores Aquatics and the hard work has paid off as 13 of Adrian’s swimmers’ will be competing in events at both the primary and high school level at this week’s state events at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Swimming in relay events at the primary school level are junior boys Shaun Booth and Julian Dorfer from Ocean Shores Public School, senior boys Cody Plautz, (who is also

District Champion) and Toby Pauling, and in the senior girls Nicole Dorfer, Jemma Holt, Isabella Brett and Ciara Clemens.

Individual events at the high school level will be swum by Aaaron Kearney in the 15 years 50m breast stroke, Davis Jensen in the 14 years 200m IM, 50m freestyle and the 100m breast stoke. Abbey Lang will compete in the 12 years 100m butterfly and the 100m breast stroke. Abbey is also the Zone Champion.

In the primary school division Gabi Kay will compete in the 11 years 50m freestyle.

Gabi is from Byron Bay Public School. Jemma Holt will swim the 11 years 50m butterfly, Nicole Dorfer will swim the 11 years 50m freestyle - Jemma is another Zone Champion. Ava Cormack will have a busy time is Sydney as she competes in the junior 200 Individual Medley, the 50 m butterfly, the 50m backstroke, the 50m breast stroke, 50M and the 50m freestyle. Ava had a great season in

her age group, becoming the Regional Champion and Girl swimmer of the meet. She is also from Byron Public. Toby Paulings will swim in the 12 years 100m freestyle, the 50m butterfly and the 50m back stroke. Toby is also the Regional Champion for his division.

Adrian says the group is currently in the quality phase of it’s training schedule. The last training session at the Byron Bay swimming pool was held on Monday morning.

‘Considering the training is all outdoors, this season’s weather has been fantastic,’ says Adrian. ‘Unfortunately, injury and sickness limited the potential of some of our finest swimmers at a crucial stage of preparation. Every one who was consistent got rewarded one way or another, and it will only be a matter of time before their ultimate goal is reached with that sort of discipline.’

‘Every one seemed to enjoy training this season and we tried implementing a few new strategies to keep the monotony of repetition to a minimum. Enjoyment and improvement are the two main things I want from my swimmers, and I believe I achieved that this year.

The results are a bonus and speak for themselves.There are some swimmers with the potential of making finals at Sydney this year and what ever happens I know they are prepared well and will do their absolute best.’

Ocean Shores ladies play Autumn Leaf The Ocean Shores Lady Golfers held their annual Autumn Leaf Two Day event at the club on consecutive Tuesdays, March 16 and 23. Pictured are the winner of Division 2 Peta Price, Probus Vice President Marie Small and Jess Dengate the winner of Division 1.

Life member Liz Watts, pictured, congratulated the outgoing committee and presented Graeme Condie with a gift of thanks for 10 years of outstanding service as Club President. Liz also noted the Condie family’s long association with the Club since its inception in 1966. Graeme’s father was the Club’s first president .

Graeme thanked Liz and also congratulated the other committee members, noting their long service record and hard work in leaving the Club in a strong position for the new committee. We look forward to another fun and successful season beginning in the Spring.

ast week Byron Shire Council’s financial services manager Jim Bolger gave councillors a presentation on rates calculations. Among his figures was

the adjacent graph, which shows the increase in residential land values from 2006 to 2009 across a range of towns, as determined by the NSW Valuer-General.

Overall the residential land valuation went up by an average of 17 per cent, with Bangalow seeing the biggest rise at a massive 50 per cent, while Broken Head and Main Arm hit the 40 per cent mark.

Of course the percentage increase does not mean Bangalow has outstripped Byron Bay pricewise. According to the ValuerGeneral in January this year, 841 square metres on Lighthouse Road, Byron Bay, was valued at $2.6 million, and 601 square metres at Paperbark Place, Bangalow, was valued at $264,000 – a bargain by comparison.

Land in other rating categories also saw big rises. Farmland rose an average of 24.7 per cent, and

Buying a beach house back on the agenda

here is renewed interest in owning a holiday home, according to PRDnationwide.

Whether as a destination to vacation or as an investment property to rent out – second home purchases are set to take off again.

‘Aussies, buoyed by the country’s healthy economy, are tipped to return to the holiday market,’ said PRDnationwide research director Aaron Maskrey.

‘The idea of having a beach shack or country cabin to get away to on weekends is enormously attractive.

‘Due to the uncertainty and a loss of confidence in the market during 2009, many investors were forced to put their holiday homes on the market. Now that confidence has returned, a lot of people are feeling the lure of purchasing a holiday home again.

‘Unit sales on the Sunshine

Coast increased by 11.3%, during the half year period ending September 2009. The Tweed Local Government Area experienced increases in activity for both units (at 30%) and houses (31%).’

PRDnationwide Kallangur principal Gary Roden has owned several rental properties over the past twenty years.

Mr Roden said the most important part of buying a rental property is to

purchase in a high capital gain area and be prepared to own the property for a minimum of five years.

‘When you are looking for a property, remember that the larger the home the more it would increase in value based on the increases in building costs and materials.

‘To get a good tenant paying an attractive rent, I suggest that you buy the largest home that your budget can afford and maintain.’

Poor Man’s Whiskey (www.poormanswhiskey.com) is one of the bands expected to excite the Bluesfest crowds over Easter.

How the new Tyagarah site pans out will depend to a large degree on the notorious Easter weather, the traffic arrangements at the Pacific Highway and the behaviour of fans navigating the local towns.

Amid all the festival brouhaha this weekend, remember on Sunday to put your clock back one hour, as NSW daylight saving ends at 3am.
