BOTH ONIONS AND ROSES MEET THE EYE

Good turnout for Anzac Day Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Hundreds looked to the west and fell silent as a whisper of Reveille played on the breeze in remembrance of fallen brothers and sisters. As what is growing into one of the biggest Anzac Day memorial events unfolded in Brunswick Heads, almost 600 people gathered at the Cenotaph in Fawcett Street for the dawn service at 5am on Sunday. Many of the local community emergency and rescue services as well as students from surrounding schools and members from several other community and service groups were well represented. . Steven de Rooy of the 41st Battalion was the guest speaker during the service. Steve was joined by brothers in arms at the service – the 41st, which was raised at Bell’s Paddock Camp in Brisbane in February 1916, draws its recruits from Brisbane, northern Queensland and the Northern Rivers district, including the Marching after the Brunswick Heads dawn service were Frank Mills, Jack Bashforth and Allyn Morton. likes of local historian Frank Mills. After the service a march was drum and pipe and a small tank together at the RSL for the tradi- to a day of activities, including twoled around Brunswick Heads by and jeep. Then families gathered tional breakfast before heading out up at the Brunswick Heads Hotel.

Dept calls on Council to suspend legal action against holiday letters

The Department of Planning has called on Byron Shire Council to suspend any legal action against holiday letters until the department gets its own policy in place. In a letter of February 23 to Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner, the department’s deputy director of plan making and urban renewal Tom Gellibrand reiterated that Council’s planned approach to control holiday letting through its draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) was not supported and that ‘it should continue with the current model of self regulation/management through letting agents and landowners…’. Nor is the department happy with Council seeking orders under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act ‘to preclude the use of certain dwellings as “tourist facilities”’. In relation to an order issued to Merkat Pty Ltd over its property at 89 Wordsworth Street in Byron Bay, Mr Gellibrand claimed ‘there is considerable uncertainty whether the use of those premises for short term holiday rentals can be properly characterised nary game in the new health agenda as “tourist facilities”’ under Council’s landscape, with the big game – en- 1988 LEP. hanced primary health care delivered through general practice and better Review under way ‘The Department is reviewing the community services – still to come.

Real health reforms still to come, says NRGPN The Northern Rivers General Practice Network (NRGPN) has welcomed the extra health funding that’s come out of the significant COAG agreement, but says more emphasis needs to be placed on keeping people healthy. ‘The Health and Hospital Network package of $5.4 billion in additional funding will help,’ said NRGPN chairman Dr Tony Lembke. ‘Ongoing guarantees from the Commonwealth to take on the major share of hospital health costs gives hospital funding more security, when costs are expected to increase enormously in the future. ‘We have been discussing how hospitals are to be funded – it’s now time to focus on the “real work” in health – keeping people well and out of hospital!

‘In the reform plan, general practice will remain the cornerstone of the new primary health care system, with the Commonwealth taking up 100 per cent funding responsibility and policy for all primary health care. The NRGPN looks forward to the announcement of further details in outlining how the new primary care health system will operate.’ Dr Lembke said he would like to see media discussion move from hospital bed numbers to keeping people healthy and out of hospital. ‘We need a greater focus on family care – on improved access to general practice and on better care delivered in the community. This has enormous benefits in increased health outcomes and in decreased health costs.’ Dr Lembke said he also had con-

cerns about how the new hospital model might be funded. ‘If it’s funded purely by the number of cases that go through the hospital, hospitals might seek to attract high-value low-cost cases (predominantly surgery), rather than high-cost, more complicated medical and mental health cases. ‘NRGPN believes true health reform requires realigning the way the health dollar is spent to make sure that we all get the best health outcomes possible as well as the best value from our taxes. It is not sensible health reform to continue to pour more and more money into hospital beds, and invest a comparatively small amount in helping people keep well and out of hospital.’ Dr Lembke said reform of the public hospital system was just a prelimi-

and planning advice and legal cases that have been taken elsewhere. Council resolved to seek legal clarification and a staff report is expected in May. In Byron Shire the issue will continue to disrupt this community unless it can be clarified. ‘At At this point the Local Government Association has not been approached to consider an outcome. It’s important to note that the holiday letting issue is not just Byron focused. Many other communities in NSW including Bondi, Pittwa-

ter and Kiama have concerns and other states are also trying to find a solution. In Western Australia, there is a statewide planning approach that defines precincts and requires an approval. ‘Many different approaches were attempted over time including Council approaching the NSW Government to seek a change in planning rules to allow for a licensing of the use of houses. Council also held forums with the tourism and real estate industry to seek a resolution. In the last term of

Council, despite staff reports identifying that the use of houses for tourism purposes was not in accordance with the planning rules, there was not majority support of councillors to take action. Without any action by council there has been a proliferation of this use. ‘The establishment of the Holiday Letting Organisation has seen some control over the use of houses but while it’s a fact that residents can call a hotline to complain about excessive noise or antisocial behaviour, it’s too late, the disruption has already occurred. ‘Tourism is a service industry and has specific controls in place to protect the rights of visitors and neighbours. Without regulation there are gaps in the protection of both. For residents the concerns have been wide ranging. ‘For the general community the lack of permanent residents impacts on the volunteer base to maintain a functioning, caring community. The focus on holiday letting has also added to the increased cost of property as dwellings are often marketed with the potential for large returns from tourism. This has effectively increased the value of property and attracted many property investors. ‘With a focus on population growth and need to supply more housing opportunities it is worth noting that holiday letting has removed a large number of houses for permanent residents from the available housing stock. Currently over 20 per cent of Byron Bay housing stock is used for tourism purposes. The fact that holiday letting competes with approved tourism businesses means that holiday letting is operating without development approval or the payment of development contributions. This creates an inequitable business model and means that Council does not recoup any of the funds for the ongoing works to maintain and upgrade the shire.’

A fond musical farewell

Steve Nugent’s recollections of his friend and musical collaborator Hector de Santiago were moving and heartfelt before turning into a musical celebration of Hector’s colourful life at Durrumbul Hall last Friday night. Well known for his Latin American tunes, Hector was often seen and heard playing excellent guitar in the streets or markets when not playing at venues, functions and ceremonies around Byron Shire. Contrary to our report last week, Hector emigrated from Mexico to Sydney in the seventies, not the eighties, and settled in Byron Bay in the early nineties. Hector will be lovingly remembered by the many people who have been touched by not just his beautiful music, but also his compassionate and generous spirit and wicked sense of humour. Hector is survived by his son Fabian, his sister Yolanda, his nephew Amaury and by his ex-partner Diana. Photo Jeff Dawson

Fouridation decision ‘out of a hat’ Rous Water’s decision last week to fluoridate the water supplies of Richmond River, Lismore and Ballina Council areas on the casting vote of the current chair Col Sullivan was blasted by Rous member and Byron Shire Councillor Patrick Morrissey. ‘The majority of Councillors believed a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) clearly took inadequate consideration of the effects of fluoride on the receiving environment including people and the natural environment required under Part

5, Section 111 of the EP&A Act,’ Cr Morrisey said. ‘However Cr Yarnall of Lismore voted to support the staff recommendation because he believed he was being pressured by Rous staff and he was very concerned about being surcharged and threatened with possibly losing his house if he didn’t vote to approve the REF. ‘With a tied vote the chair Sullivan had the casting vote to approve fluoridation. And given Cr Sullivan from Richmond River became Chair of Rous

Water in February 2010 after a tied vote, four for Sullivan and four for Staples, the two names were placed in a hat and Cr Sullivan’s was drawn out, at this stage the three shires of Richmond River, Ballina and Lismore will be fluoridated based, not on science, but on threats and the luck of a name being drawn out a hat. ‘If Cr Staples had had his name pulled out of the hat, the vote on such a major issue would have gone the other way.’ Q Comment, page 10

of these beds is to be split between palliative, rehabilitation, geriatric and mental health care. ‘The Premiers and Chief Ministers need to demonstrate their commitment to mental

health is genuine by assuring the community that at least half of these new sub-acute beds will be mental health beds. ‘Providing more mental health sub-acute beds will clearly relieve the pressure on public hospitals, which is one

of the stated aims of the government’s health reform plans. Over 40 per cent of people currently in mental health acute hospital beds would not be there if appropriate sub-acute and community based care were available.’

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

A moving march and ceremony was held at Bayside @ Byron aged care facility in Suffolk Park on Wednesday April 21 to commemorate Anzac Day. The annual Anzac memorial march and ceremony is held particularly for those residents unable to attend the official community ceremonies in town. The special service enabled many to experience the fellowship and emotion that is involved in a day of such importance to Bayside residents and their families. Two such residents who attended the service are returned servicemen Kenneth Hanna and Archibald Warwick. Kenneth Hanna went to war at 18 years of age, in 1941. Pictured with his wife of 61 years, Rita Hanna, he was stationed first in the Middle East and then in Borneo and Papua New Guinea. He and Rita met soon after his return from war, and married in 1949. Rita Hanna told The Echo, ‘Kenneth worked in a big hardware store where my father had brought me along to help him

Finance manager leaves

Design a condom tin

After 17 years with Byron Shire Council, finance manager Jim Bolger has resigned to take up a position elsewhere. Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner thanked Mr Bolger for his time spent at Council and wished him all the best in his next endeavour. ‘While Mr Bolger’s 17 years of corporate history will be missed, at this stage we are not expecting any challenges in filling the position,’ Mr Faulkner said. ‘Northern NSW is a highly attractive region in which to live and will have great appeal to many people with a finance

A national competition was launched last week calling on creative young Australians to design a limited edition condom tin to help make carrying condoms as normal as carrying a mobile phone.

‘Angels’ plan to bail out Shearwater Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Creditors report Though PPB are continuing their investigations, a report was sent out to creditors late last Friday. ‘The investigation will continue until the second meeting of creditors,’ said Mr Robinson. ‘The meeting is to be held on Tuesday May 4. At this meeting creditors will decide the future of the school.’ The Echo, which is one of the creditors, received a copy of the report on Monday morning. We have yet to analyse its contents. Mr Robinson said morale at the school was very good, particularly in light of the current difficult circumstances. He said

donations to the school were still being received and the VA were hopeful of receiving a deed proposal from a major benefactor group that will provide for the continuation of the School. ‘If we receive the deed proposal by this Friday, we will advise its terms in our report to creditors late this Friday,’ he said last week. ‘The donation total will be advised at the creditors’ decision making meeting on May 4.’ The Echo spoke to Bharat Mitra on Sunday before Shearwater’s fundraising rally at Brunswick Heads. ‘I decided to make the offer the same day I made it,’ said Bharat. ‘The day I spoke to the administrators, I realised that Shearwater might close and there was a strong pull from within. ‘I have been involved with the school for a few years and I feel it is a very important part of the community and it needs to shine bright and be an inspiration for schools around Australia and the world. It can be the embodiment of everything relevant for the 21st century.’ When asked if there were any conditions attached to the gift, Bharat Mitra said that he had no conditions but a few requirements that the school be governed in a positive manner. He

suggested a four person guest board to work with the current board. The new members include Christopher Dean, Director of Business Development and CEO of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation, and Dr Lakshmi Devi, who is the Director of Education and Anthroposophy and an internationally renowned educationalist within the Steiner philosophy community.

Board advisors Two other suggested new board members are Mullumbimby solicitor Wroth Wall who would act as a legal director and Michael Flanagan who would serve as a financial director. Mr Flanagan is the senior partner in a regional finance and accounting firm. When asked about the changes to the board, one of the school’s spokespeople Jane Hanckel said that the current board recognises that the school will need to make some structural changes to the way they do business. ‘Bharat Mitra offered an opening through his business and friends network,’ said Ms Hanckel. ‘When he became aware of this need, he offered to help. With Christopher Dean, we have a visionary entrepreneur on our side, while Michael

Flanagan is one of Australia’s top accountants. Dr Lakshmi offers additional anthroposophical knowhow to our board and a legal counsel is always good to have. Wroth Wall has been a strong supporter of our school and has made crucial contributions in the last months.’ The rally on Sunday at Torakina created a festive family atmosphere and students and parents alike are forging ahead in the hope that the latest gift will be the lifebelt they need. Conspicuous in his presence at the rally was ex-staffer Stan Stevens. Mr Stevens, who has been with the school for many years, recently had his employment terminated at the behest of PPB. The board had previously said that the termination was prompted by staff being ‘surplus to our requirements’ and that they supported the decision. When asked about his inclusion at the rally, current board chairman Jan Roskott said that Mr Stevens was one of the original founders of the school and a long time associate of benefactor Bharat Mitra. Bharat Mitra believes that personal agendas need to be put aside. ‘We need to unite around the vision,’ he said. ‘We need to make it [Shearwater] the best.’

The Shearwater school may have just received the gift they need to bail them out of their current financial dilemma. Angels in the guise of longtime supporters of the school Bharat Mitra and Bhavani Lev have made a generous offer to help out. Almost seven weeks ago, Shearwater was placed under voluntary administration and informed there was only ten weeks to find $2 million, or the school would close. Shearwater Action was formed to organise fundraising, donations, community awareness and social media, including Facebook, and every Steiner school in the world is being contacted to ask for their support. The school says that the figure needed has now been reduced to $1.3 million and in response to the call, Bharat Mitra and Bhavani Lev have offered to match the community donations dollar for dollar, which means that with money raised over the last few weeks the target is now $600,000. The main problem is now coming up with that total in the next week or two. Mark Robinson from the current administrators PPB, says the school is continuing to operate with government, teacher and parent support. He also says that student numbers are holding up well.

Conscious living and dying workshop Local death celebrant Zenith Virago and founding director of the Quest for Life Foundation Petrea King are coming together to offer a day of insights into conscious living and dying. ‘The awareness of our mortality can sharpen our appreciation for life,’ says Zenith. ‘Our unconscious fear of death and letting go keeps us in fear of uncertainty and change which are a natural part of life. ‘The art of dying is found in our ability to fully live in the present moment.

‘Preparation for something we will all experience is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to ourselves and those we love. ‘To know and experience the part of us that is beyond change, beyond suffering, assists us to embrace every moment, regardless of its challenges, with a quiet mind and an open and generous heart.’ The seminar offers ways to live and die with dignity, peace and grace: t SFTQPOEJOH SBUIFS UIBO reacting to life; t GPSHJWFOFTT BOE MFUUJOH HP

Farewell to Gary Arthy Julie Kyle Scholl

Gary Arthy passed away in London in January 2010. A celebration of Gary’s life was held in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. A second ceremony will be held in Byron Bay, his ashes returning to his beloved Australia. Gary was born in 1964 in Rochford, Essex. He moved with his family to Spencers Wood, near Reading, Berkshire, in the mid 1960s. He attended Ryiesh Green School and promptly entered the construction business. His love for music and travel dominated his life adventure. He was accomplished in the field of computer animation and won recognition from Virgin Records for his talents. I best remember my brother in Berkshire, fishing, camping and swimming the Lodon river with my best friend’s brother, Michael. As children we all had

immense summer fun together at Swallowfield Park, to the extent that one of us has named her house after the place. It was a very tranquil place we all enjoyed as children, Gary included. On his adventurous travels in Australia he met Carrie Robinson. From that union came a son, Sky Robinson. Both remain in Australia. Gary is survived by his son

Sky (Australia), parents Valerie and Tony Arthy (of France and Florida,USA), sister Julie Scholl and brother-in-law Kyle Scholl (of Colorado, USA), numerous cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles in Europe, Canada, USA and of course Australia. The celebration of Gary’s life and ceremony for Australian family and friends will be held in Byron Bay on April 28.

Interestingly, the club responsible for this earth-shattering crime against civilisation was wholly owned by News Limited, whose chief executive John Hartigan indignantly denied any knowledge or responsibility. This lame and self-serving excuse was apparently quite acceptable, at least to the News Limited publications. The Australian is considered unlikely to demand his resignation with quite the fervour with which it pursued Peter Garrett over the pink batts affair. Similarly, it would seem that Rudd is likely to get away with his massive tergiversations, but they will leave a sour taste nonetheless. Until now he has been almost obsessive about

We are still getting glimpses of the old Kevin 07, the avuncular figure who won the nation’s trust a mere three years ago. Dr Jekyll has not yet morphed irrevocably into Mr Hyde. But it is a safe bet that in the weeks ahead we will see rather less of Mr Nice Guy. The newly implacable Kevin Rudd was obviously the one on show at COAG, adamant that no one was leaving until he had the agreement he wanted, or at least one that he could sell as a big win. Operating on the widely held and well founded theory that every premier has his price, he simply kept shovelling out the goodies until his chief antagonist, Victoria’s John Brumby, decided that perhaps hanging on to his share of GST was not a sacred inviolable principle

after all, as long as the money kept flowing. Colin Barnett held out, but this was only to be expected as (a) he was the sole Liberal in the Labor den, and (b) he is a Western Australian. In the latter role he has form. Back at the time of federation the West was the only colony that refused to sign up to the new constitution. Its negotiators held out for the ultimate bribe: a promise by the commonwealth to build a railway link between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta. Rudd clearly believes that Barnett, too, will come to the party when the price is right. Rather more surprising was the premiers’ insistence that they retain a hand in the control of the funding money. From the commonwealth’s point of view part of the attraction of the proposal was to relieve them of that responsibility; the feds would not only shoulder most of the present running costs, and of the huge increases which were predicted in the fairly near future, but would be prepared to take all of the blame if the voters maintained the habit of a lifetime and complained that things weren’t good enough. This was what Rudd meant by ending the blame game, a proposal which seemed to have universal approval. But under the arrangement which Brumby and his colleagues finally negotiated, they will continue to carry their share of the can. In practice the feds will set the terms and conditions for the distribution of the funds, and so will have ultimate control; the likelihood is that the states’ input will eventually wither away. But it was a less than perfect outcome. Still, whatever it takes.

Suffolk Park feels betrayed by Council At Byron Shire Council’s last ordinary meeting on April 22 we saw a travesty of justice unfold. Councillors were required by a Council staff report to again consider reclassifying the Suffolk Park Caravan Park from Community to Operational Classification. Previously, in 1996, Council staff tried to get Councillors to approve this move, so they could sell off this park land to help pay off Council’s debt, incurred by the excessive expense of moving their headquarters from Byron Bay to a new purpose-built building in Mullumbimby. Councillors at that time discovered, thanks to the archives of the Suffolk Park Progress Association, that this land had in fact been given as a gift by the then owners, named Suffolk, in 1959 for the recreational use and benefit of the emerging Suffolk Park community. In order to ensure the land stayed secure for that purpose for all time a meeting was held that formed the Progress Association as a community body that would take care of the area and the park in particular, and to request that the Shire Council take over the ownership for the nominal sum of ten shillings (today one dollar) so it could hold the title on behalf of the local community of Suffolk Park as a recreation reserve for all time. This meeting was chaired by Mr Armstrong, President of the Shire, who signed the document that recorded this crucial meeting and agreement, so there can be no doubt as to the authenticity and the intent behind the purpose for utilising the Local Government Act Section 340A as the means by which a local government can hold land for community use. This also requires that the land

be registered as Community Classification and such classification can only be altered by way of a Public Hearing that could thereby permit Council to take over control of activities on that land. In this case the purpose of the gift of the land by which Council holds title is for the recreational use and benefit of the community for all time. Over the years however the Council staff have taken over the control of the land for commercial purposes by running a caravan park that has increasingly excluded community use. Recently State government has made it clear to Council that this use of Community Classified land for ongoing commercial purposes is illegal and should never have occurred. Council staff now propose that to address this problem that Council should walk away from their clear obligation to honour the trust made to the community when they acquired the land for one dollar so as to keep it safe for the community’s future recreational use. This to allow them to change the classification to Operational Classification so they can continue to do as they wish with it. Tragically it seems most Councillors missed the significance of the situation and the clear moral obligation to honour the past agreement made by Council and voted to support the staff in proceeding with their agenda to put profit before the community and their role as an honorable trustee. Cr Tom Tabart shocked the Suffolk Park representatives who had just put their case and documentary evidence before the meeting, when he moved the motion in support of the staff recommendation.

In other words, promises made in the past could be forgotten, meaning that even documented statements of a trustee could be ignored. Mayor Jan Barham on the other hand spoke passionately that the commitment to the Suffolk Park community should be honoured and the earlier determination made by Councillors in June 2009 to retain the Community Classification should be upheld. The Suffolk Park Progress Association has asked that the motion of Cr Tom Tabart’s be rescinded at the next meeting and ask for the support of the Byron community in ensuring Council honours its commitment to keep the entirety of this park land as a community reserve.

tion also threatens the homes of about 20 members of our community relying on affordable housing as permanent residents of the caravan park. He dismissed the general manager’s suggestion to sit in committee at the next Byron Shire Reserve Trust Committee Meeting but preferred to hold a councillors’ workshop behind closed doors. What is he trying to hide? What seems to have eluded Councillors in their debate, eloquently and forcefully put by Mayor Jan Barham, is that they are dealing with an issue much wider than just a piece of land for profit. Involved are historically significant events, the rights and aspirations of a community, the fundamental manifestations of many years of dedicated community involvement in what they believe to be their heritage. The discussion should not be about a hard-core business but about the heart and soul of Suffolk Park. The caravan park is not just a holiday camp. It is part of the social fibre of Suffolk Park and not a destination for the fortunate few tourists who can afford any fee. It should continue to offer lowcost holidays for the families of this Shire and visitors from anywhere. The caravan park is also about permanent residents in low-cost accommodation who are part of our community and who can’t just be told to go. They belong! It is also about the local community who do not have a toilet or shower or barbecue or rest tables and benches to just sit and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful coastline. It seems Councillors did not get it. A proper Plan of Management should address all these issues and should be formu-

In the road With the new skate park in Brunswick, kids are walking on the road and skating on the road to get there. When I slowed down to get around one, he said ‘F-ing watch out’, not getting off the road. The same in Ocean Shores. Teenagers and others walk side by side on the road talking, and don’t get off the road. Kids obviously don’t realise us drivers have to go around them over the middle lines, risking a head-on, or someone running up the back of us or our mirror clipping them.

Kidzone closes It is with deep regret that I advise the community that the Federal Community Children’s Centre Kidzone Afterschool Care service will be closing down, effective May 14. The FCCC Management Committee has had to take the very difficult decision to close Kidzone’s doors after 15 years service to the community. We are outraged that state and commonwealth funding to early childhood services such as ours is so paltry, requiring us to sell sausages and make cakes to buy supplies; that our beautiful staff, who nurture and cherish the next generation of Australians, are paid such abysmal salaries; and that we have been forced to close a service that provided muchneeded support to a number of families in our community for financial reasons. Sadly, we are not alone – our service was one of the few remaining afterschool care services available in the local area. I notice that Cricket Australia received $17.5 million funding from the Commonwealth this week – so that we can continue our dominance as ‘the world’s leading cricket nation’ and because supporting cricket will ‘also improve the health of the nation’. Imagine the benefits to the community if that money had been channelled into the many now-defunct after-school care services. The message is loud and clear, funding early childhood learning and afterschool care is just not cricket (literally). Peta Marks

Call to reconsider conservation zonings Q I appreciate that Basil Cameron (Letters, April 20) has good intentions, though I don’t think he fully recognises that the state government’s effective prohibition on Tree Preservation Orders in rural areas, combined with the numerous clearing exemptions for Routine Agricultural Management Activities allowed in all zones by the Native Vegetation Act, means that the outcome from Byron’s new Local Environment Plan (LEP) is going to be significantly less protection of conservation values than we have now. The NSW government’s environmental vandalism makes it even more important that Byron Council appropriately zone land to protect conservation values. Basil is right that the 80% of mapped high conservation value vegetation removed on April Fools Day by Councillors from the proposed Environmental Conservation (E2) zone was downgraded to the Environmental Management (E3) zone. The objective of the E2 zone is to protect high conservation value areas by allowing limited activities. Conversely the objective of the E3 zone is to manage areas with special values while allowing a broader range of activities. E2 prohibits agriculture and forestry, while E3 permits cattle grazing, cropping,

horticulture and forestry. Outside coastal erosion areas, E2 prohibits most new buildings, except where there is no alternative to exercise a dwelling entitlement. Conversely E3 permits the construction of dual occupancies, dwelling houses, secondary dwellings, farm buildings, farm stay accommodation, tourist restaurants, public administration buildings, churches, halls, etc. Council’s key responsibility is to appropriately allocate high conservation values identified in the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy to the appropriate zones. I consider that Council erred in removing all high conservation value vegetation from the E2 zone, except for that coincidentally already included in a subset of the 1988 protection zones (excluding 7C and 7D), without any consideration whatsoever of the merits of any individual attributes. I ask Council to reconsider each of the ‘very high conservation value’ attributes identified in the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy on their merits, restore those deserving protection to the E2 zone and justify the demotion to E3 of any that they consider warranted. While there may be justification for removing some attributes, I remain amazed that Councillors have resolved to exclude our best rainforests, oldgrowth forests and habitats

stayed near the beach in Byron will be aware that Council rangers are routinely out there at six in the morning knocking on the windows of cars and vans which contain sleeping tourists and telling them to move on. While I’ve heard of resulting arguments I’ve never heard of anyone being fined. At a recent meeting of Council it became clear why no fines had been issued: it is quite legal to sleep or camp in your car on the streets! The agenda of that meeting even reproduced advice from Council’s lawyers to that effect, saying the the only way to restrict the practice was to put up put ‘no parking from 1am to 5am’ signs, as currently is the case in certain Byron car parks. (I have reservations about whether this is legal; to use laws intended to regulate access to parking spaces for another unrelated purpose. Looks to me like what lawyers call an ‘abuse of process’. There’s not even much competition, after all, for parking spaces between 1am and 5am). So over Easter Council put up this huge electric sign at the western approach to Byron warning people not to camp on the streets and that ‘fines apply’. What bullshit; I wonder who authorised that particular lie. Yes, fines apply for littering, noise and park-

ing infringements, but not for camping per se. Not content with this the staff thought it relevant to report to last week’s Council meeting that street campers sometimes use the excuse that they are too drunk to drive. This was a debate about a proposed 1am lockout of drinkers, which doesn’t seem to have any compelling relevance to the question of street camping. It does indicate though that staff require an ‘excuse’ for someone to do something quite legal, while at the same time encouraging them to do something quite illegal, ie drive while drunk. Deary me; I hope Kev’s boost for mental health beds includes a sizeable allocation for Richmond Clinic South, otherwise known as Byron Shire. PS: I know now why I love living here: it makes me feel so sane.

Byron Bay Q The Conservation Ecologists Association (CEA) is based in Byron Shire and was formed in December 1997 by a group of professional biologists and ecologists with decades of experience and involvement in local environmental surveys and extensive involvement in natural resource planning and management. We primarily focus on making submissions to (local, state, and federal) government authorities on matters affecting biodiversity conservation. We consider the issue of environmental zoning to be fundamental for sustaining biodiversity values and for managing Byron Shire’s biodiversity into the future. By way of explanation, in the new Byron Shire Local Environmental Plan, the Environmental Conservation zone (E2) is intended to include high conservation value lands. The Department of Planning (DoP) states that E2 zone is for ‘areas with high ecological, scientific, cultural or aes-

Councillors, tremendous people with great principles who I support 95% of the time, have shot themselves and our community in the foot. Claiming the Belongil beach will need to be replenished after every major storm? There is zero evidence for this, in reality the beach comes back every time. Putting erosion down to ‘natural processes’ and climate change, when all evidence points to sandmining? It’s like suggesting the moonscapes left by open-cut mining in the Hunter are due to flooding. These silly positions discredit those who hold them. Then the door is left open to the dogs. The kind of bastards who handed over the Camberwell village common to the miners. The kind of people who never miss their chances. Realistically, at Belongil and Main Beach we should be replacing the mined-out ancient dunes with a dune-shaped barrier. We should embrace ‘user pays’ because we don’t have to fret about the money. We should, to coin a phrase, be the solution, not the problem. We should put this unfortunate chapter in our local history to rest, and move on to bigger issues, because the environmental movement as a protest movement is missing its opportunity. We bewail coal mining, we fret about a new dam in Bra-

thetic values’ where the intent is to provide ‘the highest level of protection, management and restoration for such lands whilst allowing uses compatible with those values’. Examples of lands with very high conservation values given by DoP are oldgrowth forests, significant wildlife and their habitats, wetlands, riparian corridors, endangered ecological communities, high conservation coastal foreshores, and water supply catchments. The Department of Planning requires that the identification of high conservation value lands be underpinned by a strategy. To this end, after a lengthy public exhibition process, Byron Shire Council adopted its Biodiversity Conservation Strategy in 2004. This strategy lists specific attributes that it considers to be of very high conservation value. CEA has reviewed the attributes identified as being of very high conservation value in the Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and concurs with Council that these attributes are of high conservation value and should therefore be included in the E(2) zone. Most notably: oldgrowth forest; nationally rare and endangered forest ecosystems (including rainforest); regionally extensively cleared and poorly reserved forest ecosystems; habitat around recorded locations and known habitats of

hreatened species; spe nationally threatened d Ecolo NSW Endangered Ecological Communities; shorebird nest and roost sites; core and primary koala habitat; and 20m buffers on rivers Given that Byron Council has identified the location of most of the attributes which it considers to be of very high conservation value, we believe it is an imperative for Council to include all such areas in the E(2) zone – unless it (BSC) can identify good cause why any of those values or subject areas should not be included. We are extremely concerned that Councillors decided to identify the E(2) zone based on the 1988 zoning (and not those identified in the more recent Biodiversity Strategy). That decision results in the inclusion into E(2) of only those areas and values that happen to fall within the outdated zones. We call upon Councillors to reconsider their decision and ensure that (for the benefit of all residents, visitors, and the values we seek to protect) all very high conservation value lands are included in the E(2) zone unless otherwise justified.

zil, or in the Hunter, or wherever and we squeal ‘but solar or wind (or whatever)’ could do the job. Yeah? Then why the hell don’t we organise the finance to get the job done? Our normal consumption, ie our money, builds those stupid projects. Why don’t we organise to build the smart ones? Why must we always lose? Get this straight: your electricity bills for the next 20 years are the finance for those new coal-fired power stations. Cost to build solar instead? Zero. Zero! It’s a matter of organisation. So here we are. Fighting over trifles, while the thieves win again. Why not try something else?

open mind (agnostic) or a prejudiced closed mind (atheistic)? for that is the difference. It is not about whether there is a deity or not but about one’s attitude to the question. The absence of evidence for something is not the evidence of its absence. His response to my letter, though conventional, suggests to me that his logic is flawed and his science simplistic. I have the evidence; he does not. Hence, no hobgoblins in his movie. My number is in the book.

The death of small towns

Duncan Dey

Mullumbimby Q Last

new costs of regulations. The forests were running out of logs and Boral was securing what was left for their new centralised, highly efficient, bigger mills. Boral did create jobs, however far more were lost. Furious timber workers blamed their job losses on the ‘greenies’ hostile behaviour and political muscle and the government which was locking up forests in National Parks. Many of those angry workers now have jobs with National Parks. Speaking with a number of those Parks workers, in retrospect they now see that it was the shortcomings of the Forestry Department and the big sawmilling companies that destroyed the generations of small sawmillers and their sustainable use of the forests. The ‘greenies’ had done them a favour, as they now proudly have good jobs and are again able to work in the forests they loved. It’s the ‘pressure from bigger chains’, the Woolworths and Borals, that close down century-old small businesses. The power of big business to sway local, state and national governments, regulators, bureaucrats and the markets gives them the edge to drive small competitors to the wall. The petrol station owner who sells out to Woolworths in the country town, initiating the demise of fellow station owners, is acting in his own best interests – that’s not a crime. It is, however, unfair to wrongly lay blame on vocal concerned locals for that business’s decision to cash in their chips. It is the failure and lack of courage of our highly paid local, state and national bureaucrats and regulators which I blame for the general demise of small business, not vocal community groups standing up for the values that we all love.

week’s letters included Raymond Musgrave’s and Chris Mallam’s account of their reluctant sellout to Woolworths. Blamed are ‘a small group of hostile, politically astute objectors’ and the cost and challenge of development. As they say, ‘The idea was always to continue to operate a high quality independent local supermarket in the face of pressure from bigger chains.’ The Mallams/Woolworths sage is not unlike another that I witnessed as a then cabinetmaker and newcomer to the north coast 26 years ago. The multitude of small sawmills that had drawn me to the area were closing and those Garry Scott with log quotas were selling Mullumbimby out to bigger mills and ultimately to the giant company Boral.

that they look like they are all pissed. He reasoned that some were probably ‘pebbled’, ie ‘a little stoned’. Lynette Kee is right to be concerned for her mum’s safety on pedestrian crossings, especially with turning traffic (Letters, April 13). The situation will not change and as people’s considerations and manners toward others continue to deteriorate, her mum should become more defensive. She does not know what is going through the driver’s head. She should think of them as being pebbled and act accordingly. Last week while travelling from Brunswick Heads way to Mullumbimby I approached the T intersection at Uncle www.echo.net.au

Tom’s Pies. As I moved into the single right hand turning lane I slowed to give way to oncoming traffic which was also turning to Mullum. The little car, which was following me, drove up beside me on the left. When the road was clear I turned right. The car turned then as well then accelerated ahead and moved into the single lane again. I had never been passed while in a single line on that side before. Following that car into town I wondered where that driver’s head was. The impression was that she was a very capable person on a mission who was running late. Certain writing on the car led me to conclude she was a yoga teacher. Could

defunct Soviet era economic model. By continually swallowing up smaller businesses, entrenching their monopoly, and controlling the government, they have been eroding our freedoms for some time, and at an increasing rate, for example by pushing for the elimination of planning controls, and laws which make small scale production uneconomic. It won’t be long before there will be no small shops and farmers, only huge corporations like Woolworths, Coles etc, and large mega farms to hopefully produce our food. Unfortunately it is being demonstrated that these mega farms are going the way of their former Russian soviet cousins. Environmental destruction, low output per hectare, and very high inputs of fossil fuels and precious water to produce the food. Australia’s food production per capita has been declining not just because of the drought, but because so many farmers have gone broke and sold out to these mega farms. Farming has become an industrial process, not a skilled and tuned occupation like it used to be. At present Australia’s supermarkets are importing large amounts of product which is masking the relentless march towards food shortages as happened in the USSR. They also have huge centralised, highly bureaucratic ordering and management systems which have a one-size-fits-all approach. Our experience of work is moving more and more towards being employed by a large monopoly, not working for yourself or small business or for your own enjoyment of the activity. As we know, the result of all of this is all around us, the system is full of people who mostly don’t care about their jobs, and the rot is growing. That’s what happened to the USSR. Let’s not have it happen here. Robert Hart

Last week I wrote about the likely scenario that brought Woolies to Mullumbimby and about my time on Council, from mid-2002 to March 2004. I need to correct some of what I wrote: an Echo reader informs me that the issue of Mallam’s rezoning for Station Street did come to ‘my’ Council on March 2, 2004. And Council resolved (#04-145) to commence the rezoning process. The minutes of the March 2004 meeting show that only Mayor Wilson voted against the motion to prepare the rezoning application. I tried to amend the motion to include formal studies of flooding, traffic and noise. That amendment failed. The rezoning proposal was advertised in April 2005, then later rejected by the next Council of 2004–2009. Mallam’s then took their application to the NSW government who approved it against Council’s wishes. I apologise for both the error in my letter and for allowing the rezoning investigation to commence in 2004.

In the past, swimmers of the calibre of Grant Hackett, Kye Hurst, and Melissa Gorman, have swum in the Classic and the event is often seen as a treat for an end of season trip away for many ocean swimmers who gather annually to catch up with friends and past adversaries in the spirit of competition and fun. As in past years, the swim is a fundraiser for several local charities and services. Over the past two decades, the swim has generated in excess of $300,000 with local recipients associated with the event, like the Byron Bay Surf Club, the Byron Nippers and the Swim Club as well as other charities including Camp Quality and the Byron Bay Hospital. Race day begins at 7am with registration and issuing of timing bracelets, swim caps and event baseball cap at the Surf Club. At 8am the Mini Swim closes in time to allow entrants to walk to Clarkes Beach for the swim staggered start at 8.45am. At 9am the main event registration will close and the briefing for the Classic will take place at the tents outside the surf club. The Elite/ Superfish swimmers will be the last wave to leave Watego’s at approximately 11am. Buses leave the Surf Club from 9.15am for a 10am staggered start at Watego’s Beach. Organisers would like to remind competitors that as happened last year, those who wish to wear clothing to the starting area, there are no facilities for these to be returned to the Surf Club and the Salvation Army will have a clothing bin available for people who wish to wear, and then donate clothing items to them. After the swims the presentation is scheduled to start with the lucky draws, then the swim presentations from about 1pm. Now that the swim has come of age, it has also stepped into the 21st century and this year a website with all the race information has been created. You can view news and general information including the course, events and activities on race day, race results, a gallery of photos as well as the online race entry and contacts for the event.

Joyous descent into low energy usage Story & photo Jane Abercrombie

BRUNSWICK VALLEY NATURE FESTIVAL CELEBRATING BIODIVERSITY

Complete strangers often wander into Sharon Gibson’s yard. Some have seen the board out the front saying that this property has won a ‘Sustainable Streets’ award. Others are just curious about all the interesting edible plants growing so prolifically in Sharon’s garden, or the straw bale technique she uses to grow healthy vegetables in areas where the soil is not good. While many of us feel anxious about the future and guilty about not reducing our carbon footprint, Sharon and her household have enthusiastically embraced the challenge of living more sustainably. ‘It’s easy to feed a family of four from a small suburban plot’, she says. ‘ We never have to buy vegetables’. As well as the usual potatoes, carrots and basil, Sharon’s garden contains many low maintenance perennial vegetables. ‘Water spinach for example grows like a weed right through summer when lettuces and other greens are turning up their toes,’ she says. She also grows seven year beans, galangal, cassava and yakon, to name but a few. ‘I can go away on holiday and come back six weeks later and there is still plenty to eat,’ she says. ‘And I stagger the crops, so as not to end up with three buckets full of cucumbers or zucchinis, then none at all. We have a constant, varied supply

– and it’s not a lot of work once you know how to do it. ‘It’s really not that hard to reduce your environmental footprint either. After a while it just feels normal: get up, feed the chooks, do a bit in the garden, say “no” to plastic bags, put chickpeas or whatever you’re having for dinner into the thermal cooker. It’s fun.’ The thermal cooker – a simple thermos-like device that uses almost no energy – is one of several changes Sharon and her family have made in order to reduce their ‘environmental footprint’ by more than half. Getting solar hot water, installing water tanks and reducing car and plane travel have all been part of the plan too. The household audits their energy

usage on a regular basis. You don’t get the sense that there is any great hardship involved in the process. Or any sense of deprivation. Rather, it’s inspiring to see what is possible. Sharon speaks of ‘a gentle, joyous descent into low energy-usage’. Sharon is committed to sharing her knowledge, and will be running several workshops and courses through Byron Community College this term. Courses include Keeping Chooks in Your Backyard, Strawbale Gardening, Urban Farming, and the delicioussounding ‘Grow Your Own Green Curry’, in which she shares both tips about the growing of many unusual herbs and vegetables, and also recipes and

cooking ideas. ‘Garden to belly – it’s a whole different way to live’, she says. You get the feeling at Sharon’s place that it might just be possible to save the planet, and ourselves, after all. Q If you are interested in any of the courses ring the Byron Community College on 6684 3374, or go to www. byroncollege.org.au. For more information on Sustainable Streets – including the date of Sharon’s open house in June – go to www.byron.nsw.gov. au/sustainable-streets and to calculate your ecological footprint, check out www.wwf.org. au/footprint/, or one of the various other ‘calculators’ on the net.

Market day planned for Wilsons Creek Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Don Drinkwater is one of many who believe that as far as food goes, we have the ability to be an organic self sufficient community. ‘If we thought about it, we could feed ourselves from this area,’ says Don. ‘Conventional agriculture is so dependent on fossil fuel and we don’t need it.’ Don makes up the greater proportion of his food needs from a garden of about one acre on his property in Huonbrook and he believes others can do the same and more. ‘There is the need for more small, organic/sustainable farmers in the region. Sustainable farming that doesn’t need synthetic fertilisers and pesticides will help the Byron Shire become resilient in any future shocks to the economy, which are more likely to happen than not.’ Don feels there is a strong need for education in regards to types of farming, for example what is organic, biodynamic, conventional and natural. He says that a lot of people go to farmers markets and assume that all the produce is grown organically and that the signage at some markets doesn’t help to clarify what is what. Don feels that markets who ‘self certify’ that they are local may confuse the public with the word ‘certify’. In support of the idea of going organic and creating a sustainable local communi-

cultivatable land, will begin to think about growing food,’ says Don. Don says the emphasis will be on organic principles with a gardening workshop at midday alongside a chemical-free advice table. To widen the appeal of the event, there will be garage sale type stalls with lots of secondhand books and the kitchen will be serving vegetarian food with muffins and cakes being made on the spot. ‘I am hoping we will have a value-adding workshop for all the locally grown citrus that lays waste in winter. The day is still evolving but hopefully it will become more varied with the odd busker and entertainer,’ says Don. Open from 10am to 4pm, the market will include produce from four certified or transitional organic vegetable farmers at the hall as well as stalls selling seedlings and value added produce. ‘Overall I would like the market to be a varied day with the central theme being organic gardening and seasonal produce. I am hoping for a couple of displays of how to make marmalade and other citrus products and what to do with surplus passionfruit.

Some of these are well over a metre or even two in length. One particular groper was also around that size. All of these animals are Byron seascape residents. Perhaps the deeper gullies and reefs in the area of Julian Rocks, only three kilometres out to sea, foster them and they are only visiting close to shore.

Three months now and the conditions for snorkelling off the beach at Byron Bay are often still very good. At Main Beach, I fix a sight from a pandanus tree out beyond the sand bar and surf break. The Cape headland shelters the bay from the south wind. The great storm event a few weeks back shifted many tonnes of sand underwater. Exposed again on the seabed are the ribs of the 40 metre wreck from 1944, the Tassie ll. The Tassie ll was part of the merchant navy, on a mission from Sydney to Papua New Guinea, when it took refuge in the Bay. But it collided with the remains of the old jetty built in 1888. The hull was pierced and the ship sank. In 1948, that jetty was dismantled, leaving behind only the pilings. After some sixty years, the hull, the stern and the pilings are now established reefs encrusted with marine life. They are upright novelties among the scattered relatively low rock ledges where marine life also grows. For me as a skin diver, underwater visibility is a bewitching quality. Dark changes ahead are looming presences: which reef is that? Directly below me the view is crystal clear. But when I dive down and look across twenty metres, the distance is a turquoise blur topped with silver. The bottom is a white haze, fine sand raised up by currents along the seabed. Sunlight cracks and refracts across everything until passing clouds dim the scene. Sometimes visibility shrinks. Fine speckles of debris, coated with microorganisms and mucus, swirl and drift. Some bits originate from swimming animals. Others are from the encrusting animals below such as cunjevoi, the sea squirts. Still more are from seaweeds. These leak vitamins, carbohydrates and oils, which helps grow bacteria and plankton. This ‘marine snow’ eventually sinks and becomes food for bottom dwellers. Fish hang out at all these varied reefs. Some species are in dozens, others in hundreds or thousands. I love the silver ones with a touch of yellow, big as my hand and half as thin. In the morning they scatter about feeding on bits in the upper zone of the water column. By afternoon, they align themselves as close ranking schools, higher rather than wider. The school rests near the walls of the wreck, flutter-

of estuaries and mangroves are not protected at all. The status of marine protection is now being considered by a NSW select committee on recreational fishing. Surely they will be impressed with conservation. We have a lot to gain from strong coastal sanctuaries: where else can fish and shark stocks build up? Meanwhile, the folly that is an underwater wreck has become an inspiration. Worldwide, ships are strategically scuttled to create reefs. A poignant memorial is the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior, sabotaged by the French in 1985 and now a reef off of New Zealand. Going one step further, biologists in the Red Sea strapped broken rare coral to underwater metal frameworks. A reef has grown. An underwater restaurant has also been built within the reef. What next? In the water here with fish glittering all around me, I am taking a respite too. The matter of fact acceptance by so many alert creatures is such a relief. In and around this shallow wreck recycled by nature, I get a brief sense of wildness and abundance, reclaiming itself and me. There is an excitement among the fishes around me. I start looking around. What’s up? A school of sleek fish in silver flash through. They fade into the turquoise blur even as I spot them. And quickly, three large grey bodies swim right by me. They’re gone before I realise they are not sharks but dolphins. Maybe these brief adventures and small gains seem trivial. But when Sir David Attenborough says that the Earth would be better off without humans, I point to them and many other examples. There are terrestrial and aquatic places, restoring themselves, sometimes with great human investment. There are moments of understated wild rapport which include humans. We are learning. We are recognising not only ourselves but others in an ineffable sea of consciousness. Awareness is native to Earth and continues in its inscrutable evolution, step by unfathomable step. That process, fierce and unyielding, includes us.

SUBTLE FINISH The Art of Frame Making and Gilding

The possible tripling of energy costs within the next ten years has placed the heat on current housing design principles of the vast majority of mass produced housing in Australia. These housing designs often have poor orientation and a range of energy guzzling appliances, says Archicentre, the building advisory service of the Australian Institute of Architects. Angus Kell, ACT and NSW State Manager of Archicentre, said the statement made by the head of Origin Energy, Chief Executive Grant King last week at a major conference that energy prices could triple in ten years means home owners currently paying $1,700 a year in energy costs will be paying $5,100 annually or over $100 a week for energy. ‘This will come on top of increasing water prices which are set to double as state governments move to claw back the costs of costly desalination plants and other water infrastructure.’ Mr Kell said the skyrocketing costs of energy and water are making the initial investment in water saving and energy efficient design such as siting on the land, double glazing and water tanks a far more attractive economic proposition for home buyers. ‘The escalating costs of energy and water combined with the rapid decline in housing affordability due to taxes, land cost and lack of supply will also be a catalyst for a greater focus on the siting, design, and new materials of homes.’ Mr Kell said the cost saving starts with the design and siting of the home including making provision for natural light in the main living areas and the orientation of the home to gain the maximum benefit for solar heating and provision for water harvesting.

Archicentre undertakes over 20,000 reports each year and its Design Concepts consider climatic conditions, prevailing local conditions, site orientation, the zoning or location of the rooms in the home, materials, construction techniques and the building cost. People using the design concept service from Archicentre in the first instance sit down with the architect and build the design and its energy components within the home to accommodate their lifestyle needs and ensure they end up with the home they want. The first step in orientation is maximising the northern aspect, where exposure to the sun is best controlled. Eaves and pergolas can be precisely designed to block the summer sun, and still allow the desirable winter sunshine to penetrate. North-side deciduous trees that shade the house during summer allow prime access to the sun once they have lost their leaves in winter. It is important to prioritise rooms based on access to views and solar penetration. An open-plan kitchen and living area, for example, should have top position, while bedrooms or bathrooms require less daylight, as they are largely used for short periods of time, or at night.

Nimbin is attracting visitors for its annual (no18) MardiGrass, the now internationally known cannabis law reform rally and gathering on the first weekend of May. This year MardiGrass is excited by the inevitable change in attitude towards cannabis use. A third of Europe and half of America has all but legalised the once sacred plant.One of the leading exponents of the change, Dr Bob Melamede from Colorado, is coming to MardiGrass to speak to us on the anti-ageing and anti-cancer properties of the endocannabinoids.

‘Every year until we are not criminals,’ says Michael Balderstone, spokesperson for MOB (The MardiGrass Organising Body. )

We will also hear how the newly legal local hemp crop grew this year and how Klara Marosszeky has developed and tested hemp masonry, working with local farmers to grow enough hemp to start building hemp houses. Klara’s hemp masonry is only half the weight of cement, has much better insulation properties, and contains around 25% carbon. As concrete production accounts for 30% of our domestic carbon emissions, by switching from concrete to hempcrete we can become carbon neutral almost immediately.

endless other entertainment including the MardiGrass market, pot art and poetry, cannabis cooking classes, hash making and vapourizer demos, joint rolling, bong throwing, hemp rope tug ’o peace and the grower’s iron person event in the Hemp Olympix, the Kombi Konvoy followed by the Global Marijuana March Protest, Mass 420 Enlightenment, Pot Art Tattoo, Obama lookalike, Kidz Circus, legal advice sessions, buskers competition, hemp movies including the world premiere of ‘The Hemp Solution’.

There are three stages with over fifty performers and bands and

The central event, the Rally and Parade for Cannabis Law

Reform Sunday afternoon will see Nimbin’s legendary Ganja Faeries joined by the Bringabong Babes this year. As the festival is not only a protest of the ridiculous prohibition laws but also a showcase of the plant’s medicinal qualities, this year we are focusing on laughter (the second best medicine). Doctors and dealers agree, under prohibition, pot should be diluted with heaps of laughter for most efficacious results. Sorrensen and Glover are joined this year by Akmal Saleh, Sean Choolburra and Nick the Hippy, not to mention all the other funny people to be found about the strange little village of Nimbin. Thanks to the enthusiastic policing of recent years you will also witness or can join the Nimbin Jungle Patrol or the Polite Service, backed by CLOG (Civil Liberties Observor Group) and JAG (Justice Action Group) this year, dedicated bands of volunteers tasked with keeping the cops honest and giving them an example of how community policing could be done. Our nemesis the alcohol industry have chosen to support our cause this year by supplying a free bus service to MardiGrass from Ballina, Wardell, Alstonville, and Casino, so you can sail by the Winnebago with confidence even if enjoying a spiritual experience. We recommend you go the whole way and buy a weekend pass for $80 which includes 3 nights camping at the showgrounds. A one day pass is $20 for a huge day of educational entertainment and it’s all in support of the wonder plant without which our alternative movement on the north coast would never have come into being!

Australian artist Jackie Marshall spent her early teens sneaking into 90s Indy Rock gigs and teaching herself to play a borrowed guitar by deciphering Bob Dylan charts of songs she’d never heard in real life. Renowned for her gutsy but tender vocal style (which Jackie has jokingly referred to as‘Dolly Parton meets Patti Smith’), Jackie was hand-picked by Missy Higgins to support her on the sold-out Queensland leg of her 2007 tour as part of the Australian national youth broadcaster Triple J’s Unearthed series. An incorrigible journeywoman, Jackie has finally found time to make a rockin’ new album: Ladies’ Luck. She’s pictured with a snake. Jackie tell me about that snake, I take it that it’s harmless? It looks venomous. Are you looking relaxed/sexy or is that real fear??? I didn’t know I was afraid of snakes until I went out to the friendly Queensland Reptile Association to do this shot. The photographer didn’t tell me he had a problem until after the shoot either when I notice he was sweating rather a lot more than usual. This is quite a cuddly harmless little water python but gee, don’t snakes bring out the fears. I am, for the purposes of Art and Life, attempting to channel Lilith, Hebrew goddess of Independence, also littleknown as Adam’s first wife before Eve. She is often depicted nekkid holding a snake, the snake being one of the early co-symbols of Mother cults around the world. You call on a huge diversity of music, writers and thinkers as your influence.‌ do you feel that as an artist

Y O U R

C O A S T A L

they are starting to colour the landscape of who you are as a performer? I think the main thing I get out of the writers, musicians, artists, scientists et cetera that I am interested in is their passion for following their own trip. I hope that as I progress as an artist I get more like ‘me’, less like anyone else. I’m just doing my own version of Walking into the Light’. Joseph Campbell, now there’s a cat who knows what I’m talking about. Love is the catalyst for so much art, good, bad, and indifferent, how do you use the experience in your work? Well, the last two albums have been rooted in the kind of archetypal love stories that might befall a white middle class chick but I’m bending and superceding the personal romantix now in order to embrace more of a universal love one love hippie scenario because I’m getting bored with the temporal plane and wanna know what goes on higher up in the ethers, which I’m told has something to do with like a supreme love anyhow I’m curious curious curious. Meanwhile am currently try to steer well clear of love personally, thus remaining the blank musical canvas upon which others might wreak their romantic fatalities. Again with the theft of material. Hmmm. Do you think you’ve had a lot of Ladies Luck? Sounds like talent and hard work also come into play I’m a lucky girl. I get to eat every day, for a start. But yeah, I’ve worked pretty damn hard musically. No-one gets away without paying their dues in this business. But that being said, it’s never been

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

about ‘work’. It’s about Life. I wanted adventure, so I made it happen. That’s the most honest simple thing I can say about all of this. How do you maintain you artistic integrity? Do you ever feel tempted to write Brittany type pop songs and be done with it? I write pop songs in my head all day long. I don’t really struggle with any concept of integrity, if I don’t like

something I don’t do it. I freaking LOVE good pop music, and if I ever come up with my own personalised style of pop hit well then good on me. You never know. I have a long list of fantastic people I’d love to work with both here and overseas and where that journey takes me, well, you can bet it’ll be something I’m really into. What’s the perfect guitar for you?

I still haven’t found the perfect guitar. I’m on the lookout for a big fat old singing 50s Gibson acoustic. I like guitars that come with plenty of songs in them. Yeah. That’d be it. My perfect guitar is one that comes with plenty of songs in it. Saturday at the Mullum Bowlo. Buy tickets online now $12 (adult), $8 (youth) or tickets $15/$10 at the door on the night from 7pm.

The Byron Shire Echo April 27, 2010 23

I am not alone. I have parasites. I’m not talking children here, I’m talking opportunistic micro organisms congregating in my gut. For this microcivilisation, I am Planet Mandy, the good ship Nolan. Right now, they’re going about their daily business, Mum and Dad Dientamoeba are putting their single cell kids on the big brown school bus, and then heading off to work colonising the small intestine. It’s freaking me out. As the X Files says, The Truth is out there, and frankly, I’d rather not know. My Faecal Analysis (everyone should have one) reveals that I have not one, not two, but four different parasites present. It’s not just a civilisation, it’s bloody multicultural. Right now there’s probably an ameoba in my bowel watching SBS. It turns out I’m not fat, I’m just heavily populated. Life forms were discovered after sending a stool sample to the US. It cost over $500 but man, it was worth the big bucks for the opportunity to ‘shit on America’. The company supplied me with the collection kit and then sent a courier to my door to take my poo on its whirlwind journey. No passport required. Just a takeaway container and a chap from Fastways. In just 24 hours my humble Mullumbimby turd was blinking in the bright lights of LA. Here I was struggling to make a buck as a comic in a country town, and my poo had cracked the big time. I opened up a copy of Who Weekly, and who do you think I saw on the red carpet? My Poo. For the microbiologists amongst you, let me list my occupants. We have good old Blastocystis. He’s a common fella. Single cell protozoa, causing bloating, flatulence

soAP boX Mandy Nolan

5SPVCMF JO 1BSBTJUFT and a malabsorption. Nice. If I was single that would be going on my RSVP profile. Single woman with bloating, flatulence and malabsorption seeks worm loving life partner. I can cope with Blasto, everyone has it. I’ve lived in Federal and drank unfiltered water. It was bound to happen. Next we have a more sinister occupant, Mr Dientamoeba. Apparently he’s the little chap Vietnam vets came back with. Some of the disease highlights it causes are fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Pain and tiredness. I’m a mother. It’s part of the job description. All I do is pain and tiredness. Dientamoeba can only be cured by listening to The Doors and reading Kurt Vonnegut. But it’s not all single cell parasites in the intestine, wait, there’s more, we also have a helminth. No, not a German backpacker with a lisp. A parasitic worm. Generally it’s found in cows, horses and sheep. But I seem to have them. I suppose I am a Capricorn born in the Year of the Sheep. If I knew

I was at risk I would have taken myself down to the dipping yards. My doctor told me that strongyloides is probably from ingesting cow shit. Because I eat a lot of that. How ironic. If I’d drunk chlorinated tap water and eaten supermarket food sprayed with chemicals I’d be fine. Bloody organic food. It’s a health risk. Now when I go to the fruit and veg shop I only buy produce that’s been contaminated with poison. My Poo DNA result revealed one final parasitic presence. Except this was even spookier. It just said ‘Parasite present: taxonomy unavailable.’ This is the dark worm. He who has no name. The underworm. It’s hard to sleep at night knowing I have so much company. Every time I eat I’m aware that as a breastfeeding mum, I’m not just eating for two any more, I’m eating for a civilisation. Once the baby and the parasites have had a go at my resources, there’s just not that much left for me. My body has been colonised by foreign entities, and my intestinal tract declared ‘terra nullius’. I keep saying ‘ it’s my body’ but it seems that parasites are as opportunistic as white men and once they’ve set up shop, they refuse to leave. I can’t take any high powered internal explosives until I cease breastfeeding. I intend to continue until Ivy is in high school, so I guess that means I need to make peace with my parasites. I have accepted my lot as a human worm farm. Half woman, half compost bucket. I’ve started to feel a fondness for my intestinal opportunists, and at night, when I crawl into bed, we share a bedtime story. Their favourite is Milton’s Parasites Lost.

cLIVE MUSICd Juzzie on the Market Juzzie Smith’s music has freedom pulsing from within it. There’s a joy and playfulness that makes Juzzie so loved by people of all ages and from all walks of life. Using a combination of keyboard, guitars, harmonica and percussion (all played with mind-blowing mastery) his unique music embraces elements of the blues, folk, groove and roots. But above all it’s feel-good music that soothes the soul and makes the heart sing. Taking Time Out is Juzzie Smith’s third album and is being launched at the Byron Markets this Sunday.

The Lounge Bar at the Court House in Mullumbimby is becoming the place for adults to kick back and groove in style.

Bee Yourself M. Jack Bee has been hard at work lately, sitting in his garage attempting to stare at the top of his head looking for songs that he knows he’s hidden there. And it’s paying off. After showing off to industry heads in Melbourne and Sydney, our local Bee has green bags full of new songs, as well as plastic bags with his old ones. The custom built stage at Treehouse is a perfect place to see a performer in his most comfortable setting.

ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER RECONCILIATION WEEK EVENT

By Tammy Anderson Byron Theatre and Norpa partnership initiative I Don’t Wanna Play House is a gripping and ultimately celebratory onewoman show peopled with boisterous characters, each played with consummate skill by Tammy Anderson.

The Showcase date was chosen to mark the release of the ‘Sorry’ report in May, 1997. The Showcase has now become more of a celebration of how Aboriginal and nonAboriginal people within a community are able to work together productively.

Shadowboxing By John Gaddas Starring Aaron Jeffery A boxer juts through heartbreak and horror. Shadowboxing is a knockout punch of raw theatrical energy – a perfect showcase for the talents of its remarkable one-man cast. The play is performed in an intimate venue. The stage is bare apart from a red punching bag hanging from the ceiling and a water bucket. Jeffery’s physical routine as he spits out his meanderingly moody lines is devastating. He skips at frenzied pace, throws an ongoing clutch of killer punches and ripples with almost demonic energy. All up, this is a knockout which will rivet both theatre buff and sports fan alike.

Winters Discontent Written by and Starring William Zappa In a dressing room backstage of a run down theatre sits Robert Winter. He is on an interminable tour of the one-man show, Eleven Episodes from the Torture, Trial and Execution of Monsieur Thenardier, based on the villain from Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. With only his stage manager, Mo for company, the line between reality and play-acting becomes blurred as Winter struggles to believe in his life and live up to his theatrical creed ‘the show must go on’.

By Janis Balodis Every week somewhere in Australia news headlines proclaim yet another tragedy of young lives lost in a car wreck. Communities are shocked, families torn apart, questions are asked that can not be answered. People call for changes to the laws, politicians duck for cover, fellow students set up roadside shrines and parents are left with memories. Set a month after a crash, Engine is the story of “Grumpop� who lost a grandson and Natasha who lost a brother and how they deal with their grief and try to get on with the future.

By David Mamet Starring PorkChop Productions -Alan Dukes and Andy MacDonald

Straight out of Newcastle NSW Australia we have Mojo Juju and the Snake Oil Merchants. Think Humanwine, Dresden Dolls, Rasputina all put together with a bit of a Gypsy ‘its a full moon tonight’ twist.

The play is focused around two old men who randomly meet on a park bench. The two men do not know of each other, they awkwardly begin to talk. As they fumble for topics to speak upon, somehow they always end up reverting back to the ducks swimming around in the lake. Although their conversations seem misguided, as they talk about the ducks, many wise conversations are actually discussed.

Every note that comes out of the assortment of instruments is beautiful, banjo, bass, harmonica, and accordion just to name a few. The lead singer has a jazzy bluesy sultry voice that effortlessly resonates through the slew of instruments. They are an experience everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy. The Snake Oil Merchants are: The Duke of Arlington Bone, Akira, Cat Attack, The Turk, The Baron Delude and of course, Mojo Juju herself.

The outpouring from the Icelandic volcano which has wrecked European travel over the past week has also resulted in a delay to the start of the World Chess Championship match in Sofia, which was scheduled to start last Friday. Defending Champion Viswanathan Anand was due to arrive with his team in Bulgaria a week before the first game of his title defence against local GM Veselin Topalov but instead found himself stranded at Frankfurt airport.

LIBRA: Midweek full moon brings an inner power surge to stand up for what you want or believe in. You need to do your own thing during this highly creative transit whatever others think, so follow your imagination and be prepared to look beyond the obvious.

CAPRICORN: Everything seems so solidly rooted in material reality it’s hard to see past the world of appearances this week. So keep reminding yourself about growth, about evolution – what’s happening right now isn’t the whole story. Time to slow down and strengthen your spiritual connections.

SCORPIO: Relinquishing power plays, verbal stouches and having to have the last word will put you in the best mood for this week’s dealings with others just as stubborn as you are. Midweek annual full moon in your sign is always a marvellous night for a moondance…

AQUARIUS: Rushing others during this week will only make them stubborn. Sure, waiting till they make up their minds is like watching paint dry, but if you insist, they’ll resist. Venus is bright, breezy and delightfully pleasy, so playing the waiting game won’t be so hard…

SAGITTARIUS: Old fight or flight patterns might resurface this week, as you wonder whether to keep going or pack it in. Mars in your house of completion says it’s time to stand your ground and work through the current situation, so turn inwards for the guidance you want.

PISCES: With this week less interested in ideas than things that actually exist, organization’s more important than inspiration. Same for structure, discipline and practical planning, even if they aren’t your natural way of operating. Chiron in Pisces is now placing your focus firmly on inner empowerment.

I rarely suggest this for obvious reasons, but it would be wise to keep your radiant self under the radar right now, especially where inlaws are concerned. VIRGO: Saturn retrograde in Virgo, your ruler Mercury retrograde in the sign of money and possessions, Chiron initiating a cycle of deep relationship healing and an intense full moon in your communication sector all equal a very happening week for Virgos.

(In theory the decision was supposed to be made by the world body FIDE but in practice the Bulgarians, who were claiming massive financial losses if the match was deferred, held all the cards.) Danailov, who turned the 2006 Topalov-Kramnik world title match into the ‘Toilet Wars’ circus, had already achieved one useful aim; Anand would have preferred to leave all the negotiations and disputes to his wife and manager Aruna but an argument over the starting date will inevitably involve Anand himself. Whenever exactly the match begins, a well-rested Topalov will have become firm favourite to secure the title he has long coveted. Aruna Anand must also be wondering if she was over-diplomatic with her comment at the end of her last inspection tour of the venue: ‘We’ve visited Bulgaria three times and we’ve always been well accepted. I am convinced that after this match we’ll become even better friends.’

Quick Clues

ARIES: As Saturn continues your relationship cleanup, this week pits rules, restrictions, responsibilities and obligations against your rebel urge for liberation, space and change. If tensions erupt and emotions run amuk, recognize rather than vent any residual bitterness. Or at least wait till you can do it coolly… TAURUS: If midweek full moon in your house of partnerships sees someone resurface from the past it’s no coincidence – look for the reason. And if your ruling planet’s move necessitates budget adjustments they won’t last long – a new source of income or financial improvement’s on the way. GEMINI: Venus in Gemini offers her qualities of harmony, grace and a pleasantly cruisy pace to ease you through this week’s itchy and scratchy frictions and crosscurrents.

cCINEMAREVIEWSd Hot Tub Time Machine Context, timing and delivery are everything in comedy, but, disregarding those qualifying criteria, and on a scale of one to ten, where would you place ‘fuck you, douche bag’ in your ratings of pithy and cutting rejoinders? The crowd I was part of – many of whom were of my vintage – obviously rated it more highly than I, for they cackled at it and every ensuing expletive, and those expletives come by the baker’s dozen. The dog turd in the face sight gag went down well, as did the bloke who drinks himself into a stupor before projectile vomiting onto a squirrel. At the lowest point in this trawl through raunch culture’s febrile, insistent tackiness, they roared with delight at a mob of drunken clubbers encircling two of the male leads, one of whom has dropped his daks, chanting for the one on his knees to suck his buddy’s penis. Such is mainstream cinema, 2010, and,

I guess, such is the mentality it caters to. Which begs the questions – what is wrong with people that they would find such determinedly offensive material perfectly normal? Has the world been taken over by halfwits? (Or was it ever thus?) More to the point, because distributors only cater to their market, does our area’s current subjection to a deluge of inane cinema mean that we are not the beacon of urbanity that we present ourselves to be? The movie is trying to say something about regret and loss, but its approach makes it just another foul-mouthed bromance in which, via the vortex of a skiresort spa, three self-pitying nongs on the verge of tedious mid-life crises, are transported back to 1986. It’s a pivotal year for them and one in which the truth will be learned about who fathered the twenty year-old nephew of the gang’s leader (I thought it pretty obvious long before the reveal). John Cusack,

her way up the ladder to become a curator at the Guggenheim Museum (where her boss is the formidable Anjelica Huston). She looks a bit young to have the gig, but let’s not quibble – as role models go, hers is surely preferable. Three girls nearby got off on it and I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy it too. ~ John Campbell

How To Train Your Dragon This is brought to us by DreamWorks, who also produced Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda. The story’s hero is called Hiccup (convincingly voiced by Jay Baruchel), a scrawny teenage Viking wannabe dragon-slayer who has conflicts with his brawny father, Stoik (Scottish actor Gerard Butler). Hiccup, trying to prove himself, shoots down a rare Night Fury dragon – a black, leathery, bat-like beast. Hiccup soon finds the wounded creature – later christening him ‘Toothless’ – and discovers that

the feared dragon is just one big puppy dog, really. ‘Everything we know about you guys is wrong,’ the boy tells his new pet. The animation in this film is staggering. The look of the Vikings’ coastal village, lined by massive rock formations that jut out from the sea, is sublime, while the fantastical dragons that terrorise the townsfolk have been unleashed from wildly fertile imaginations. Some of the fight scenes between the dragons and the Vikings might be a bit scary for very young kids. There’s a real sense of history and folklore in the film’s structure, and the message about getting rid of old ideas in the face of new information rings true. Yet, it’s the friendship between a boy and his beast that’s at the warm heart of this film, and what a beautiful friendship it is. ~ Lounge Cinema

unambitious rom/com is that not very much of it is actually set in the Eternal City. It opens with a wedding there and ends in similar fashion, but most of the action takes place in New York. Beth (Kristen Bell) is in Rome to attend the nuptials of her sister. During the kneesup that follows the ceremony, she is smitten by Nick (Josh Duhamel), also an American. When she spies him in friendly embrace with another woman, Beth mopes away to one of those incomparably beautiful Renaissance piazzas where, at a fountain of Venus, she takes off her shoes and retrieves four coins and a poker chip from When In Rome the water at her feet.

SNIPPETS COFFEE IN THE HILLS More bouquets for local coffee growers! Hills of Byron are located about 30 km west of Byron Bay in the Dunoon district , whose unique growing environment – deep red volcanic soil, southerly location, surrounding temperate rainforest – results in an extended maturation period for the beans adding to the overall complexity of the finished product. At the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show in late February the company won a Silver medal for its 100% Single Origin coffee. Next to Rocky Creek Dam, the herbicide- and pesticide-free plantation has 15,000 arabic coffee trees and its own processing, roasting and packaging facilities. It was established in 2004 by Greg and Janice Jensen and the trees have only been harvested twice.

Most people are familiar with the Macadamia Castle at Knockrow and its celebration of all things regionally produced, specifically utilising macadamias. They have recently acquired a body care range of organic products based on macadamias, called Maine Beach. Developed by the Gold Coast founder of Trelivings bodycare products Nigel Treliving, they include soap, body wash, body lotion, body butter and handcream, all packaged beautifully and smelling divine. Macadamia oil is clear and lightly ambercoloured, penetrating the skin well and endowing excellent moisturising and protective properties. Testers alongside the actual products are available at Macadamia Castle to try out the range.

There is an entree on the menu of Brisbane’s ecco restaurant which will probably never be removed. I remember it still, despite the 12 or so years which have lapsed since I tasted it. Field mushrooms piled on to olive toast, served with rocket, parmesan shards, truffle oil and lemon: heaven on a plate, and one of the most brilliantly executed renditions of an essentially very peasant dish I have eaten. More recently it was a warm salad of Asian mushrooms tumbling among fingers of creamy-centred tempura-ed polenta at Ballina’s The Point restaurant which seduced me with nearly as much ease. Mushrooms have this extraordinary versatility, an ability to adapt to a huge range of flavours and techniques – and yet there they are a common enough thing. Not a vegetable at all, but something referred to as the ‘fruiting body’ of a fungus. And of fungi themselves mushrooms are but one type among yeasts, lichen and penicillin. The mushroom with which most of us are familiar is the cultivated one, agaricus bisporus, possessing stem, cap and gills – although increasingly our exposure to other more exotic types improves, available in punnets from suburban supermarkets. As for wild mushrooms – of which it is said that the flavour is superior, incomparable – the most admired is the boletus edulis, the French ‘cepe’, the German ‘Steinpilz’, the Italian ‘porcino’ (named because of the fondness shown toward it by pigs in the woods fattening on acorns). Autumn is the season when thoughts turn to mushrooms, despite their presence throughout the year. Autumn is when I like to fill a baking dish with button mushrooms, strew them with fresh thyme, drizzle over balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a seasoning of salt and pepper and bang the lot into a hot oven for as long as it takes to heat some bread, set the table, even throw together a green salad. By the time I have crumbled Persian fetta over the top and soaked up the splendid juices with bread, I have entirely cancelled out the possibility of its having been a wholesome, low-fat and low-calorie meal – yet still feel the happiness that comes from dining in divine simplicity, or simply divinely.

www.echo.com.au

Mushrooms. Sliced raw to translucency and dressed with lemon juice, finely chopped garlic and parsley, your best olive oil and seasoning, these continue to improve with time and refreshingly accompany any type of protein. The man I love heats bread rolls for 10 minutes then removes their centres, fills them with a whole mushroom and a scattering of fetta before returning them to the oven until the mushrooms are browned and the fetta oozes a sauce around them. There is a grilled mushroom salad I make in which I grill whole, stemmed field mushrooms caps-down for about 5 minutes, turn them over for another minute, pat them dry then layer them in a glass serving dish. Over the top of them I pour a mix of extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, zest and juice of a lemon, bay leaves, sprig of thyme, red chillies and black peppercorns which I have simmered for five minutes then strained. Mushrooms refrigerated overnight and just before serving scattered with ‘gremolata’, that lovely blend of finely chopped garlic, parsley and lemon rind. Below is a gorgeous recipe for a Roast Mushroom and Ricotta Tart too easy not to make: ROAST MUSHROOM AND RICOTTA TART In a food processor whizz together 220 gr. roughly chopped butter and 335 gr. plain flour to the ‘breadcrumbs’ stage, then add 1 egg and 30 ml. milk until the mixture forms a ball. Remove, wrap in greaseproof paper and chill for at least an hour. Roll it out to line a flan dish and bake-blind. Meanwhile, clean and trim about 30 mediumsized button mushrooms and roast them until golden in a little olive oil. For the filling: whisk together 350 gr. ricotta, 70 ml. cream, 2 eggs, 40 gr. freshly grated Grana and season with salt and pepper. Pour into the cooled pastry case and bake for 25 - 30 mins at 180˚C. Remove from oven, arrange roast mushrooms (no juices) all over the top, scatter over fresh thyme, cool then serve.

We found ourselves in Byron Bay late at night, having attended the opening of Miss Cynthia Lemonbutter’s Reiki Parlour For Gentlemen. Ash from the Watego’s inferno had prevented us leaving in the Club’s dirigible, so Sanders the butler and I strolled the mean streets in search of a taxi cab. We made the mistake of cutting through an alleyway – smelling strongly of feline effluvium, its walls decorated with a stencil of the Dalai Lama slam dunking a basketball – whereupon we were accosted by a group of young chaps who had indulged themselves somewhat beyond the point of Dionysian ecstasy. Their bleary eyes eventually focused upon us and they did not like what they saw.

‘I say,’ I said sotto voce to Sanders, ‘the times look not favourable.’

The ringleader swung at Sanders, who stepped nimbly aside, leaving the brute to regret the contact of his fist with an unyielding brick wall. Two more chaps came with broken bottles at the good butler who, a master in the mystical art of sangfroid-chi, handed

As more chaps advanced, somewhat hesitantly now, I drew my swordstick and moved to Sanders’s side but we were saved from further exertion by an extraordinary intervention. Somewhere from the rooftops three comely lasses clad in diaphanous black silk swooped silently upon the necks of the ruffians, who fell to the soiled pavement like art critics in a postmodern swoon. As the lasses turned to face us, I noticed their full lips were smeared with blood. ‘This may not be an improvement,’ I said to Sanders. ‘Don’t worry, sir, I have it in hand.’ He spoke to the fetching fanged femmes in a sibilant language unknown to me, and they replied

Students off to Nowra for Championships Byron takes on Bangalow Three local girls, Deeanna Thompson and Tulla Carson from Mullumbimby High School and Zoe Lattanzi from Kingscliff High School were all selected to represent the North Coast at these Championships. All three play representative football for FNC Football in the Queensland Youth League. Deeanna and Tulla have been members of the Mullumbimby Junior Soccer Club for the past six years. Deeanna this year playing for Bangalow Bulldogs Women’s Premiership team. Zoe played for Pottsville Football Club. Deeanna and Zoe last week returned from a three day selection camp held in Armidale for the Northern NSW State Selection trial. Recently the girls were lucky enough to catch up with Rachel Cooper, a former Mullumbimby girl who played for the young Matildas.

in local derby Byron played Bangalow in the local union derby for the Crom-Bat cup, which Bangalow has held since the cup started. Byron has not beaten Bangalow in 15 a side rugby in their four years of Village Rugby, but with a newfound enthusiasm and a full reserves bench Byron came out on top 7-0. Byron held a massive advantage in territory and most of the game was spent in Bangalow’s half. Wombat had another great game and finished the match still recognisable which didn’t happen last week. The Scottish boys are finding their way in the team and Paul Pritchard had his best game yet, collecting best on ground for Byron and players player from the team. Mat Alexander who moved to halfback for this match played well and gave Nigel

Magnay plenty of room to run at the opposition which created the first try with a great run and dummy, to split the line and go in untouched under the posts. The play was converted by the goal kicking wizardry of Paul Mitchell and at this rate, he will create a new record if he keeps going. The backs have the potential to work well together but it was the forwards once again that led the way and were a lot more physical at ruck time than Bangalow. There was a good crowd to watch the match – even Simon Ulyatt was there to barrack for Byron. Next week Byron plays Yamba on May Day at 2.30pm. Yamba has not lost a game and has beaten other teams with bonus points, 4 tries a game, so they are playing very well and it will take a determined effort to beat them.

Probiotics: the answer Register for women to winter illness? in sport conference The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), in collaboration with Griffith University and supported by global probiotic supplier Danisco, is examining whether probiotic supplementation enhances immunity and reduces illness over winter in healthy, physically active men and women. Professor David Pyne, a senior Physiologist at the AIS says probiotics, known as ‘good bacteria’, are being marketed as a supplement to potentially boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness, however little research with probiotics has been done with athletes or in healthy, physically active populations. ‘Preventing illness during heavy training and competition is a high priority for athletes and coaches, but obviously results from this type of study can benefit the wider community,’ Professor Pyne said. The AIS will study 450 physically active men and women,

as well as elite athletes for the research. Participants will take a probiotic supplement provided by the AIS daily from May to September and fill in a daily training and illness log. Professor Allan Cripps, of Griffith University, said that probiotics have long been touted as a supplement to enhance health. ‘The twin aims of examining the effects of probiotic supplementation on the immune system and on illness are necessary for the provision of evidence-based advice to support probiotic use,’ said Professor Cripps. Preliminary research by the AIS found that probiotics reduced the duration of respiratory illness in elite male runners and reduced the severity of chest infections in healthy, physically active male athletes. Q It is recommended that you consult with your doctor before taking any supplements or dietry products.

It wouldn’t be ANZAC Day without a game of Two-Up Two-up is a traditional ANZAC Day game and for those of you who stood by the sidelines on Sunday without a clue about what was going on, here is a little insight into the ‘sport’. The Boxer or manager of the game sits with his coins, kips, string and money tray in the www.echo.net.au

place where he can view the whole ring clearly. The Ringie, runs the centre of the ring. When the game is about to commence, there will be a number of people around and outside the circle. The Boxer will call and ask for a spinner, who will have the right to se-

lect whether he wants to play two-up or swy – also known as ‘Sudden Death’. The kip would then be loaded with either two or three pennies, depending on the game. The designated Spinner starts by throwing two or three coins into the air.

Traditionally, these coins are pennies. The size and weight of pennies make them stable on the kip and easy to spin in the air. The nature of the design of pennies that date pre 1939 had the sovereign’s head on the front side and the reverse was totally covered in writing

The roar of the crowd, the smell of the liniment … the footy’s back! John Campbell ‘In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.’ Legendary Tygers supporter William Blake never wrote a truer word. Local footy fans, their heads filled with learnin’ and teachin’ and their enthusiasm burning bright, will be quick to echo old Blakey’s sentiment, for the seasons’ fearful symmetry has at last arrived at the commencement of the 2010 Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League competition. Our Shire’s representatives, the Byron Bay Red Devils and the Mullumbimby Giants, will be aiming to go that little bit further than they did in what were successful but ultimately frustrating 2009 campaigns. The Devils, defending Premiers from 2008, never quite hit their straps and, despite making it into the play-offs, were unceremoniously shown the door by the Grafton Ghosts, while the Giants, after finishing in second place at the conclusion of eighteen rounds, were eliminated in the preliminary final by a red hot Northern United outfit. But because hope springs eternal in the hearts of all football teams and their diehard supporters, the Devils and the Giants, both with new coaches at the helm, are champing at the bit as kick-off approaches. Following in the footsteps of Harry Bath, Kevin Ryan and Arthur Beetson, the Bay’s second-rower Simon Kelly has taken on the role of captain/coach, with the stated objective of converting more opportunities into points. ‘Last year we were winning games on the back of our defence and, without letting that slip, we’ll be working hard on finding more in attack.’ An impressive 32-16 trial victory over Northern United, 09’s runner-up and again touted as one of the comp’s serious contenders, was a shot in the arm for Kelly. ‘We had five regulars out, too, so it augers well for when we do get our full strength side onto the paddock.’ On the terraces, Byron’s one-eyed fans will be delighted to see diminutive Clarence Kelly lighting up the backline once more. The Devils’ leading tryscorer in 2008, he has returned to the fold after a season with Northern. ‘Clarence’s presence is a boost for us, for sure. He’ll be heavily marked, but he knows how to get to the line.’ Kelly also has high hopes for a number of new faces in his starting line-up, including prop Chris Coleman, who has joined the club from the Ballina Seagulls, dummy-half Jamie Seagon from the North Sydney Bears and, establishing themselves in first grade after shining for the reggies, hooker Ben Webber and back-rower Seb Le Millar. And then there’s everybody’s favourite follically challenged winger, Dwayne ‘Caligula’ Cahill. He’ll be steaming up and down the left flank and, if 09’s efforts are anything to go by, providing the Devils with accurate goalkicking.

Across the highway, cagey Scott Hogan will be in the hot seat at Les Donnelly Field. It’s Hogan’s first crack at taking charge of the A-Graders, having coached the Reserves to the title in 2008. Unlike Kelly, he has hung up the boots after an illustrious career, but if you’re worried that his silky passing skills at five-eighth, his judicious kicking and his thespian genius for procuring a penalty will be missed by the Blue and Golds, he is adamant that Jake Francisco will do an outstanding job in the number six jersey. Francisco, returning from a shocking leg injury suffered in a night game against the Tweed Coast Raiders back in May 2008, has shown genuine class in the trials and is expected to form a pair of likely lads with the reliable Chase Nelson at number seven. ‘I guess we’re going through a re-building process,’ Hogan says, reflecting on the retirement of stalwarts and the loss in recent times of stellar juniors Dane Chisholm, Jy Hitchcox and Tom Martin to the Melbourne Storm, but I’m confident that we’ve got a strong pack of forwards that’ll do the job for us’. Led by Jared Flick in the front row and with the support of hard heads such as Luke Scott, Dan Molenaar, and the industrious Steve Archibald and Jake Woods, you suspect that the boss’s assessment is on the money. ‘Mate, the mood at the club is excellent. Everybody’s here because they want to be here.’ Hogan pauses. He’s been around the traps long enough to know that only a dill makes rash predictions before the whistle is blown. ‘If we stay healthy, if we don’t get a run of bad injuries, I reckon we’ll go OK.’ You sense from the tone of his voice that the boys will produce the goods, especially when they are at LDF and in front of the Mullum faithful who, like the mob at Lang Park, are perfectly balanced in their reactions to the ref’s rulings (ie, they have a chip on each shoulder). The potential for another fabulous season in the NRRRL will be only slightly tarnished by former Newcastle Knight and alleged drug dealer Danny Wicks turning out for the Ghosts. If his participation is not acceptable to the NRL, ever conscious of the Game’s public

Round One has Byron hosting the Murwillumbah Mustangs at Red Devil Park this Sunday, while Mullum have a tough road trip to take on the Premiers, Lower Clarence, in Maclean. Elsewhere, it will be Ballina v Kyogle, Casino v Cudgen, Grafton Ghosts v Evans Head, Northern United v Marist Brothers and Tweed Coast v Grafton Rhinos. The Giants’ first home game is in Round Two against Tweed Coast on the weekend of May 8/9. If you like your rugby league live, get out and support it at grass roots level. It’s great value.

The awareness of our mortality can sharpen our appreciation for life. Our unconscious fear of death and letting go keeps us in fear of uncertainty and change which are a natural part of life. The art of dying is found in our ability to fully live in the present moment. To discover the peace that passes all understanding is to know the part of us tthat is beyond change, beyond suffering. PPeace is our ability to embrace every moment, regardless of its challenges m with a quiet mind and an open and w ggenerous heart. This seminar shows us w ways to live and die with dignity, peace aand grace.

It got me thinking what the area really needs is a night shuttle bus service. ‘When I run my night tours I quite often take an empty bus from Bruns into Byron to pickup clients, take them on their night vision tour, drop them off in Byron and then drive an empty bus back to Bruns. ‘What if I pick up people from the Bruns-MullumOceanShores area, take them into Byron at about 7pm, do my tour, then pick then up again around 11:30pm and bring them back home? We will trial it for a month or so to see how it goes.’ Cost $15pp one way. Bookings phone Wendy on 0405 275 743. garden in Brooklet.

Record number of Gen Ys say they will never own a home The great Aussie dream of owning your own home looks set to remain just that for one-in-three Gen Ys, who say they will be locked permanently out of the property market. The sobering assessment by many Gen Ys in the latest Bankwest/ Mortgage and Finance Association (MFAA) Home Finance Index adds

inside:

Properties in focus pages 56

fuel to the debate about a fast emerging ‘two speed’ property market, with more and more young Australians expecting to be life-long renters. More than half of Gen Ys say they are shelving their plans for buying a home because of how much debt they would need to carry to afford a property – up more than ten per cent from the last survey in November 2009. ‘We have never seen such pessimism amongst prospective first time buyers throughout the past five Indexes,’ said Vittoria Shortt, chief executive, Bankwest Retail. ‘Seventy per cent of respondents were very concerned about the level of debt they will be committed to if they buy a property.’ According to MFAA CEO Phil Naylor: ‘In a climate of rising interest rates and increased house prices, first time buyers have resorted to backto-basics savings plans in an attempt to enter the property market. ‘Given that some lenders are tightening home loan criteria, it’s no surprise that prospective first time buyers will need to make a concerted effort to save for a deposit. In fact

our research showed more than 25 per cent of prospective first time buyers are looking to live at home in order to save a deposit. ‘Of those delaying home purchases, fewer are asking families to help fund a home loan deposit. That figure has fallen from 20.4% to 14.7%.’ Interestingly of all states surveyed, West Australians were the most optimistic of all when it came to the prospect of home ownership. More than fifty per cent of potential first time buyers in West Australia felt optimistic about the prospect of home ownership, which is significantly above the national average of 43.7%. Many young Australians are concerned that house prices were last year artificially inflated by the boost to the first-home owner grant and generational lows for interest rates. Now, with the grant wound back,

Gen Y is often defined as those born from the mid 1970s to the early 2000s

and interest rates rising, Gen Ys are being shut out of the market. More than three quarters of those surveyed (75.6%) felt the government was not doing enough to help them enter the property market, significantly higher than the results a year ago (62.8%). The survey categorises first time buyers as people who did not own

their home but were planning to purchase a residential or investment property within 12 months. Typically, first time buyers sampled were more likely to be female, aged less than 30, employed full-time, live alone or in a couple and have no children. Most were likely to live in a capital city of State or Territory.

Land prices threaten housing recovery

Business Directory page 59

The cost of residential land continues to rise with a new report showing the median price of raw land increased by 2.2 per cent to a record $185,222 in the December 2009 quarter. The latest residential land report from HIA, Australia’s largest building industry organisation, and rpdata.com, property information and analytics provider, highlights the risk of the new home building recovery losing momentum from

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 59

the second half of 2010. The HIA-rpdata.com Residential Land Report shows the weighted median land price for Australia growing at an annual rate of 14 per cent at the end of 2009, the fastest pace since mid 2004. Meanwhile the volume of land sales fell substantially in original terms in the December 2009 quarter. Land sales were down by 4.6 per cent in the December 2009 quarter compared to the December 2008 quarter. In the September 2009 quarter sales

were 26 per cent higher when compared to the same quarter in 2008. HIA Chief Economist, Harley Dale, said, ‘Throughout the last housing up-cycle, land values consistently grew at a substantially faster pace than construction costs and the general rate of inflation. Only six months into a new home building recovery this situation is happening all over again. If this situation continues then the recovery will stall, the housing shortage will worsen, and there will

be upward pressure on rents and on existing home values that could have been avoided.’ Sydney remains the most expensive residential land market in the nation with a median price of $275,000. Outside the capital cities, the Sunshine Coast in Queensland is the most expensive land market (median price of $249,000), followed by the Gold Coast ($241,000), and the Richmond Tweed ($235,000) and Illawarra ($197,500) regions in NSW.
