Council to create ‘super surf break’ for Byron Bay

Echo Publications Pty Ltd, the local company which produces the Byron Shire Echo, has been sold to News Limited, the Australian arm of Rupert Murdoch’s multi-national media empire. In making the announcement on Tuesday this week, publisher David Lovejoy admitted that the newspaper he helped found in 1986 was finding economic conditions very trying in the twenty-first century. ‘We were basically just running out of room to expand,’ he said. ‘We were waiting for the state government to amalgamate councils so that Byron Shire could become larger, but since Frank Sartor took over planning, Maquarie Street has been dead against the idea of large, powerful local governments. ‘We also tried expanding by tendering for the Byron Shire Council advertising,’ he said, ‘but the panel of Council staff deputised to decide the issue considered that the larger circulation and broader appeal of The Echo would attract too much attention to Council activities, and so they left the advertising where it was.’ The newspaper will continue to operate from Mullumbimby and

Byron Shire Council voted 8-2 last week to create a ‘super surf break’ for Byron Bay. Preliminary plans show an artificial reef made from geotextile fabric filled with sand running from The Pass to just north of Becton’s North Beach subdivision, which is expected to create a very long surfing break and protect the township from some of the impact of sea level rise. Council’s director of marine engineering Peter Bedford said the artificial reef is ‘probably the largest project Council has ever undertaken, dwarfing even Mullumbimby’s hydroelectric scheme in the 1920s’. Asked how Council expected to fund the project, which is expected to cost around $230 million, Mr Bedford told The Echo, ‘Fortunately the Department of Lands has agreed to cooperate in a joint venture which has far-reaching financial implications and the federal Office of Climate Change has agreed to provide start-up capital. ‘With government support we can then introduce a loan regime. That will become unnecessary, however, once the artificial reef is in place. The drawback of waters will enable us to remove the Main Beach carpark rock wall and reclaim the former Esplanade which used to run down in front of Childe Street at Belongil. ‘That land can then be redeveloped for a combination of affordable housing and a boutique retail area, a sort of mini Darling Harbour. Some of the existing Belongil householders will lose a direct sea vista but the trade-off is greater protection from inundation. Another side benefit is that the longer break will reduce antagonisms in the surf between various marine interests.’ The project is expected to begin in February 2009 and be completed by April 1, 2014.

Byron Bay, and the new owners have promised that no jobs will be lost. However, it is likely that larger headquarters will be needed, and suitable sites are being explored. ‘Naturally we are sad that the association between the newspaper and the Shire for nearly a quarter of a century has come to an end,’ said Mr Lovejoy, ‘but of course we had to consider the bottom line before all other considerations. News Limited is a huge and experienced organisation and it may well be that, through predatory pricing and the promotion of correct political ideas, it can reduce the unnecessary number of media outlets and control the confusing variety of opinion obtaining in the area, which has tended to stifle healthy economic development.’ Current Echo editor, Michael McDonald, has been given a contract which stipulates that the job will remain his, for as long as no other News Limited journalist is interested in moving to Byron Bay. Mr McDonald said he was very pleased with the fair and open way negotiations had been handled. ‘They showed me the instru-

ments,’ he said, ‘and that was fair enough.’ Echo photographer Jeff Dawson is also very happy that his services will be retained by the new management. ‘It’s exciting to work for the big guys in the business,’ he said, ‘there’s so much to learn. Already I’ve been given a list of the people I’m not allowed to photograph – relatives, friends and executives of Mr Murdoch, people like that. It will make my job much easier.’ Despite the obvious advantages that the new deal brings to Byron Shire, there were a few negative voices to be heard after the announcement was made. Crystal Gormpetal, an environmentalist and mother of three, said that Rupert Murdoch had a history of ruthless intervention in politics wherever he owned newspapers. ‘Do we really want Mr Murdoch ringing up from New York and telling the mayor how to vote on Council issues?’ she said. ‘We had enough of that from the previous Echo owners.What is needed is a communityfunded editorial collective to take

over the newspaper. Failing that, a Shirewide boycott of News Limited would soon show these corporate thugs what’s what.’ It was left to Byron Shire Councillor Ross Tucker to inject some commonsense into the matter. ‘This is similar to Mallams being taken over by Woolworths,’ he said. ‘It can only help the town to have big corporations come in and syphon money out to Sydney and Melbourne. You cannot stop progress, and if small country businesses have to disappear so that prices can be cheaper, so be it. The only criticism of the deal comes from people who were opposed to The Echo expanding in the first place.’ Asked if the enormous commercial presence of Murdoch in the town would not affect his newsletter the Saturday Star, Cr Tucker explained that his partner Harold Ross would continue to produce The Star even at his own expense in order to preserve a vehicle for broadcasting his opinions. ‘Harold has a lot in common with Rupert,’ he said.

Story & photo Jann Gilbert If residents of Suffolk Park thought the past violence and vandalism occurring in the area was disturbing, the crime record over Easter would have to take the cake. Inspector Owen King from Byron Bay Police conďŹ rmed that there were 16 break-ins reported in a four-day period, obviously coinciding with the Blues Festival when the offenders knew that most people would not be home. In the most serious of the break-ins thieves found the keys to two luxury BMWs valued at over $200,000 and took them on a wild demolition derby around the streets of Suffolk Park before tipping them over the edge of the Broken Head quarry into the mud below. The owner of one of the vehicles, Rod Lambert, who is also the owner of the property from which the cars were stolen, was absolutely oored when he discovered what had happened. ‘It just makes you sick,’ says Rod. ‘I’m a normal Australian. I’ve worked my guts out. I drive a nice car but I’ve worked seven days a week to get that. To cop this, you just can’t believe it.’ Rod’s wife Lisa was forced to miss the rest of the Blues Festival because the house wasn’t secure, which was a further disappointment on top of the break-in and the damage to the cars. She was also totally dumbfounded by the crime. ‘I can’t believe what they did,’ says Lisa. ‘It’s just wanton destruction.’ Rod believes crime in Suffolk Park has become a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. Speaking with his friend, John Gudgeon, who is also President of the Holi-

day Letting Organisation, John claimed that many older residents in particular were too frightened to go out in the evening. ‘This is really serious. I’ve spoken to the police about it as well and really, the only solution seems to be improved street lighting and CCTV,’ says Rod. ‘It’s been put in at Kyogle, Ballina and Lismore and they say the crime rate has dropped dramatically.’ While improved street lighting would be a great start, the jury is still out on the CCTV debate. As Mayor Jan Barham said recently, ‘You need an army of people to watch the cameras for CCTV to be viable, otherwise, it’s simply an after-thefact solution. A greater police presence on the streets would be more helpful than CCTV.’ Following the last spate of crime in Suffolk Park that ended in a violent assault police increased patrols in the area, particularly on weekends, which did have an

impact on the number of incidents reported. Unfortunately the patrols do not seem to be a permanent ďŹ xture and, while the town of Byron Bay itself is made safe and secure for all those nice commercial interests and tourists, residents in outlying villages such as Suffolk Park, Ewingsdale and Mullumbimby are left relatively unprotected. But CCTV or no, Rod Lambert is determined to do something about the situation. ‘We need to get a group together and get a security

expert in who can give us a report on what is needed, and, if we have to, raise the money to get it,’ says Rod. The police are also very concerned by the wilful nature of the damage and told Rod it was the worst crime in Suffolk Park’s history. ‘It’s very serious,’ says Inspector King. ‘A number of members of the public have come forward with information, which we are still investigating. Some of that information is proving fruitful and we hope to ďŹ nalise the investigation shortly.’

Call to Richmond Summit Local federal MP Justine Elliot has invited the community to participate in local 2020 summits ahead of the Australia 2020 summit in Canberra in April. Ms Elliot will host local summits on April 14 in Banora Point and on April 15 in Byron Bay. These summits will ensure the best local ideas are collected and included in the national process. Ms Elliot said it was important that local families, business owners, young people and seniors are involved. ‘We will achieve the best

ideas for our country’s future by including as many people as possible in the conversation. I urge our local community to come along and make sure your voice is heard.’ Register for either summit at Ms Elliot’s ofďŹ ce on 1300 720 675. You can also make a direct submission for Australia 2020 online at www. australia2020.gov.au or by calling toll-free to have a submission posted to you on 1800 703 599.

Relay for Life a winner in Mullum Story & photo Lou Beaumont Relay for Life 2008 kicked off at the Mullumbimby Football Grounds on Saturday. As usual, the introduction to this year’s event was a sentimental one as participants in the fundraiser stood together to think of those affected by cancer. Then to the rousing music of Helen Jarvis singing ‘Simply the Best’ and with the strength of Mt Chincogan in the background, Survivors and Carers took to the ďŹ eld for the traditional ďŹ rst lap. The afternoon walkers and even paragliders were treated to bright sun and clear blue skies, weather that, according to speaker Richard Kidby, was generously provided by the late Kaye Hall who started the local RFL. Ballina MP Don Page and the Shire’s mayor Jan Barham were both there to support over 40 teams gathered for the Cancer Council’s cause. Costumes and banners had a lot of thought and effort put into them this year. The most colourful teams included the everpresent Pyjamas and Tiaras team; IGA Superheroes with super costumes to match; the Bowerbirds ladies team with hats covered in shiny blue collectables; the Birdie Girls golfer team in their colourful resort wear, leis and umbrellas; the Flamin’ Firies

in the distinctive yellow pants of the ďŹ re brigade and the Rainbow Dragons Abreast women in their unmissable hot pink and rowing paddles. The Dragons Abreast team also provided a guard of honour, using their paddles, for the survivors lap to pass under. Young relayers appeared thicker on the ground this year than last and they were in good company with Spaghetti Circus keeping everyone entertained. Sunsmart prizes, sponsored by our local IGA, were awarded to the best slip slop slappers many of whom

promptly donated their winnings back to the Cancer Council. First time RFL Secretary, Gae Laverty, told The Echo, ‘It was such a wonderful event, we were lucky with the weather, we had lots of campers [35 teams camping], and everyone was so happy all the time. There were kids running around enjoying themselves and we had a wonderful smorgasbord breakfast from 6am. ‘We all worked for a long time on the event and it seemed to come together well. It was a truly great experience. The RFL Com-

mittee that Gill Lomath [ďŹ rst time RFL Coordinator] and I were lucky enough to work with were marvellous, they all pulled their own weight. It was a such a nice event to be a part of.’ And was Gae Laverty resting the Sunday after the all night relay event? Not a chance. She was working through the necessary cashier work. Organisers estimate about $50,000-$60,000 was raised for the Cancer Council this year from the local event, with even more funds coming in from team fundraisers prior to the relay.

Byron Bay Tourism welcomes Council initiative Byron Bay Tourism, a subboard of Byron United, is delighted at Byron Shire Council’s decision to support their initiative to attend the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE) in June this year. Byron Bay Tourism Board members made a formal request and presentation to Byron Shire Council seeking funding and support for Byron Bay’s representation at ATE, this year in Perth. ‘Byron United commends

The next generation of motoring hybrid

Byron Shire Council for their decision to support tourism which is the Shire’s primary economic driver,’ said board member James Lancaster. Board member Grant Hawkins said, ‘Part of our presentation to Council was that we can aim for the sort of tourists we want and gradually reduce the sort of tourists we all don’t want. We need to be more proactive in controlling our destiny in this way.

‘BBT actively encourages promotion and events which attract high yield, low impact tourists to Byron Bay. High yield tourists contribute to the shire ďŹ nancially, socially in terms of respect and appreciation, and culturally. Low impact relates to impact on the community and local facilities. ‘International inbound tourists who are attracted via ATE are a good fit here. They tend to visit throughout the year avoiding peak

periods. They also tend to stay longer and visit other areas of the shire.’ ATE is the largest tourism trade event for the tourism industry in the southern hemisphere. Leading Australian tourism businesses market their product into international markets. Up to eight Byron Shire tourism operators, as well as Byron as a destination, will be represented at ATE in June this year.

Woolies protest attracts national TV

New Summer Menu

Story & photo Lou Beaumont For a ‘sleepy town’, as described by one current affairs reporter, Mullumbimby sure is attracting a lot of attention. Last week saw two prime time current affairs television teams descend on our Shire’s centre to report on the proposed Woolworths supermarket development and the resulting objections from Mullumbimby Community Action Network (MCAN). As a concerned member of the MCAN, Carol Gamble had contacted Today Tonight (Channel 7) to request exposure on what the group sees is a disastrous situation ‘Bullies Woolies’ is trying to impose on Mullumbimby. A Current Affair (Channel 9) snatched the lead and appeared outside Council chambers, on Thursday, minutes before Channel 7 arrived on the scene. The ‘scene’ being a gathering of locally familiar protesters with placards and anti-Woolies T-shirts, many of whom had already been formally asked to speak with TT. Desperate to have their antiWoolies voices heard, many interviewees unwittingly spoke to ACA first instead of having their pre-arranged chat to the Channel 7 crew. This resulted in Today Tonight pulling out of additional filming the following day, however, the MCAN message was still broadcast via two current affairs programs on different channels on the same evening, Thursday March 27, gaining massive exposure. Proposed protests at LuLu’s café still went ahead as planned last Friday and the gathering gained local TV media coverage in any case. Today Tonight began their story with the headline ‘Small towns unite against Woolworths – The towns that don’t like Woolworths or any big supermarket chain, are now joining together, trading advice and protest tactics’, while A Current Affair introduced their piece

A Current Affair’s Chris Allen interviews Mullumbimby Community Action Network’s Deborah Lilly.

with ‘A tight-knit community hellbent on looking after each other is fighting the might of supermarket giant Woolworths which is planning to push into the area.’ Reporter David Richardson of Today Tonight and Chris Allen of ACA each took slightly different angles, however the message to viewers was clear and both reports put what is happening to Mullumbimby in a national context. In the opinion of the interviewees, who included concerned residents Judy MacDonald and Deborah Lilly, retired engineer Chris Abraham, and Paul Medeiros from Eden’s Landing, Woolies were bullies pushing their way into a small town, full of alternate choices and charm with adequate supermarket and produce facilities, that didn’t want them here. Paul Medeiros sees his fresh produce store, Eden’s Landing, and therefore livelihood, under direct threat from Woolworths coming to town. He told The Echo, ‘Apart from the tone of the questions being a bit leading and more confrontational than I would have liked I still got to say what I wanted to say and perhaps the message will be driven home. When they asked me off camera

whether I felt it was pointless to fight I reminded them that you need two cogs in the wheel to make in turn. Mullum and Maleny are two such cogs. If we stand up to predatory pricing giants such as Woolies now, then perhaps in the future this won’t be happening to other vulnerable towns. These things can take time but they are worth fighting for.’ Retired engineer Chris Abraham has been investigating the processes involved with the development approval and looking for loopholes and points of weakness in an attempt to stop the development. He said, ‘It was rejected by Council up front, so I was interested in the process that allowed this to go ahead regardless. For me and others, this is not just about Woolworths. There is the bigger issue of land at stake here.What kind of precedent are we setting and what will that mean for all the other precious pockets of land in and around Mullum that could so easily get into [NSW planning minister] Sartor’s hands?’ To remind readers of the pitfalls of Woolworths development on the Station Street site, Deborah Lilly says, ‘There are so many reasons

Woolies would be a disaster here but principally, they offer minimal financial support and personalised service to local communities compared to local businesses. Plus, it has never been more important to support our local producers and merchants in creating a resilient local economy in light of the impact of peak oil and global warming.’ A community information meeting is being held this Saturday April 5 at St John’s Hall in Mullumbimby at 10:30am. Organised by the MCAN, the meeting will include a council update by Director of Planning, Development and Environmental Services, Ray Darney, and and a panel of local business people and residents including Helena Norberg-Hodge. There will also be a sausage sizzle fundraiser. If you want to subscribe to the MCAN newsletter, or need more information go to www.mullumaction.org or phone 6684 5390.

As part of the Youth for Sport Jamboree on Saturday April 5 at Williams Reserve in Lennox Head, Deborah and Philip Greatbatch from Cool Breeze Kites are organising a kite festival, where they will attempt to break the record for the greatest number of homemade (recycled, schoolmade etc) kites in the air at one time. ‘Kites can be a traditional decorated diamond kite, a box kite, aeroplane or any other amazing structure,’ says Deborah. ‘We will also be flying some big display kites (if the weather is right) just to add to the excitement.’ The Jamboree is organised by Ballstate University students, who have been coming from America to Lennox for around eight years, primarily as a gesture of gratitude for the hospitality they’ve received over that time and the many friends they have made. The Youth for Sport Jamboree kicks off at 9am and the kites at 10am and the action continues until noon. For further information contact Cool Breeze Kites on 6687 7695.

HELICOPTER & AIRCRAFT NOISE POLLUTION BYRON SHIRE DID YOU KNOW that Byron Shire Council is planning to open up the Tyagarah Airport to ALL licensed Commercial Air Operators? Are you tired of the helicopter and aircraft noise you now put up with? Surely, the increase in noise and pollution by allowing an increase in aircraft in our already busy skies cannot be justified by the small increase in fees that Council hopes to collect by making this change. The Council is continually under pressure from commercial interests. If the Residents do not speak up, the only voice that Council will hear are those with commercial interests. Byron Shire Council prides itself on promoting an environmentally sustainable government. Since when is endless circling of helicopters and small aircraft environmentally sustainable? Don’t change Tyagarah Airport. Your comments to Council WILL make a difference. Submissions to Council must be received by Thursday April 10, 2008 If you want to express your opinion, please write or email:

Forum canvasses local youth needs Story & photo Lou Beaumont A youth forum last Friday March 28, organised under the ‘Safe Place to Be’ Youth Development Program for North Byron Shire, brought together a wide range of people from the community all with one focus, youth issues. Artists, young people, sports groups, venue managers, youth organisations and services all discussed the issues affecting young people’s access to activities and recreation in the north of Byron Shire and creative and strategic responses were born. Facilitator for the forum, Sue Basser, moved the afternoon along and after Welcome to Country, there was a presentation from young people about their recreational needs and the barriers to achieving them. Issues were raised and discussed under the categories of events, sport and recreation, the arts, education and employment and welfare and support. Once the requirements that had been identified during earlier group discussions were outlined to the group, the forum came up with projects and initiatives that could help to resolve the issues at hand. It was hoped that initiatives that garnered most interest would actually get off the ground with enough enthusiasm and support to implement them and keep them going. Maggie Brown, ‘Safe Place to Be’ Youth Development Officer for Byron Shire Council said, ‘We want selfsustaining projects ideally.

people out of the comfort zone of what they are currently managing. It really is a capacity building exercise in which Council acts as a resource and support body and we identify what could work better by bringing lots of heads together.’ Some of the projects and initiatives that were brought up at the forum included the need to develop: an information network so youth and other organisations can bounce ideas off each other more easily; a course or model outlining how to organise youth events; strategies and logistics around activities that require no insurance and therefore cost less; an apprenticeship system within sporting organisations, bringing sport and employment together; better transport facilities, possibly incorporating private operators; a foundation that allows young people to access funds for activities they couldn’t afford to do otherwise; and develop more social groups and events in the north of the Shire for youth interaction.

Film night supports Tibet Here’s your chance to help the Tibetans by joining with local Tibet supporters for a ďŹ lm night on Thursday April 10. The film, Dreaming Lhasa, will start at 6.45am at the Regent Cinema, Murwillumbah. Doors open at 5.30pm for those wanting to enjoy a vegetarian meal before the ďŹ lm. Tickets are $15 (ďŹ lm only) with all proceeds going to the Australian Tibet Council to help raise awareness of the plight of the Tibetans. Bookings are essential as seats are limited. Please phone Madi on 6677 9207 to book your seat. Please leave landline number with message – no mobile numbers please. In Dreaming Lhasa Karma, a Tibetan ďŹ lmmaker from New York, goes to Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama’s exile headquarters in northern India, to make a documentary about former political prisoners who have escaped from Tibet.

One of Karma’s interviewees is Dhondup, an enigmatic ex-monk who has just escaped from Tibet. He conďŹ des in her that his real reason for coming to India is to fulďŹ ll his dying mother’s last wish, to deliver a charm box to a long-missing resistance ďŹ ghter. Karma ďŹ nds herself unwittingly falling in love with Dhondup even as she is sucked into the passion of his quest, which becomes a journey into Tibet’s fractured past and a voyage of self-discovery.

Local News Main Arm goes troppo at filmfest

Main Arm kids Isis Bennett, Indiana Miller and Maya Moses and the rest of the Trop Jr finalists ramping it up for the media. Photo Ian Bennett

Students and parents from Main Arm Upper Public School were stunned to hear that their comedic biography The Life Of Perfarto was short listed as one of the top eight films in the inaugural festival for under 15 year olds, Trop Jr. The eight finalists were flown to Sydney to attend the screening and await the judges’ pronouncement. What happens when three Main Arm girls (the three writers representing MAUPS’ entry) get on the

plane (one of them for the first time) and hit the big smoke has become the latest subject for filmmaker Sharon Shostak’s lens. Sharon is also a graduate of Swinburne’s Film and TV Directors’ course, and a parent at the school, not to mention having attended there herself for years 5 and 6. Sharon, whose recent documentary for the Lismore Gallery Threaded Connections has just been bought by the ABC, was enlisted by

principal Virginia Pavlovich to work with her students for the past four years. The result of all this will be unveiled to the wider community in a special fundraiser screening of short films from the past four years on Friday April 4 at the Drill Hall in Mullumbimby. Choose from two session times – 5.30pm or 7.30pm – and marvel how the media frenzy at Trop Jr was little match for the enthusiasm of the Main Arm kids.

Youth art prize calls for entries Lennox Head gallery Vivid has joined forces with internationally renowned artist Angus McDonald to produce a young people’s art prize. Indigo and Urbex, developers of hilltop community Elevation at Lennox, have provided the prize money and now all that is needed is plenty of creative young people. ‘It’s really exciting to be doing this now,’ says Peter Moore, Director of Vivid Fine Art Fine Jewellery. ‘Having worked with young people for many years, I have always wanted to see an art prize to encourage and recognise the vast talent that is here in the Northern Rivers. This is a great opportunity to engage with the youth of our region and it’s fantastic to have Angus McDonald work with us on this project’ McDonald, who has just returned home after a hugely successful exhibition ‘Snort!!’ at the Tim Olsen Gallery in Sydney, is the prize’s patron and head judge. ‘This is a fabulous prize to be involved with,’ he said, ‘as young people in this area have so much creative energy. They need constant opportunities and encouragement to shine and achieve.’ The Prize is open to any-

body aged 14 to 21 who lives in the Northern Rivers. Entry fee is $20 per artwork and the theme for entries is ‘Lasting in your memory’, which is one meaning of the term ‘vivid’. The prizes for the Elevation Art Prize are among the largest in the country for a prize specifically for youth, with a first prize of $2,000, a second prize of $700, a

third prize of $300 and a Peoples’ Choice Award prize of a $500 voucher to Ballina Art and Framing. Entries close July 21. Selected finalists will be exhibited and the winners will be announced at the Prize’s opening at Vivid on August 21.

BBQ on Suffolk skatepark Following on from the article ‘Skating on Thin Ice’ in The Echo of March 18, Belle Arnold from the Byron Youth Activity Centre and Paul Spooner from the Byron Youth Service have organised a free family consultation BBQ. ‘We are asking that skaters and their families come to the Suffolk Park Skate Park in Beech Drive on Sunday April 6 from 11am until 1pm to discuss issues they are encountering while using

the skate facility,’ said Mr Spooner. ‘The article has raised some issues of bullying and antisocial behaviour and we want to give young people and their parents an opportunity to discuss these issues and create strategies to support the safe use of this recreational facility,’ Ms Arnold said. ‘It is important that young people are central to the creation of solutions for them to be successful.’

Mayor catches the art FEHVA

Mr Spooner also said, ‘It is also important that parents are consulted in the process and it is hoped that some parents will be involved further down the track in organising competitions and other opportunities so that our local skaters can gain recognition in their chosen sport.’ Participants are asked to bring sun hats. For more information call Belle Arnold on 6685 5775 or Paul Spooner on 6685 7777.

Comment

Tripping Kevin takes on the world Vol 22 #42

April 1, 2008

Bouquets for Council NSW council-bashing has been a popular sport since the Municipalities Act of 1858. Byron Shire Council is no exception to the sport. However some community groups manage to work with Council to achieve positive outcomes. Two such examples emerged at the start of last week’s Council meeting, centred around urban design awards for the Bangalow A&I Hall and Brunswick Heads’ Fresh Eyes town design project in conjunction with students from the University of Melbourne. Sue Holm from the Bangalow hall committee congratulated Council and Councillors involved for their support of the backstage refurbishment project, which has gained high praise from visiting international musicians. The project also incorporates water conservation and reuse elements which won it the design award for sustainability. Bangalow’s grand old hall, built in 1911, has been the subject of restoration since the early 1990s and is now a focal point for much community activity. We hope that after its refurbishment the Mullumbimby civic hall can achieve the same signiďŹ cance, it also being a ďŹ ne example of cooperation between Council and community members. Kim Rosen, who wears many hats in Brunswick Heads, also praised Council for its support of the Fresh Eyes project. She looked forward to further support for a fresh look at Tweed Street, the old PaciďŹ c Highway which now provides a spacious boulevard – suitable for leisurely perambulations – through the town. Council is expected to be all things to all people – which it will never be – so it is heartening to see a couple of examples of cooperation based on goodwill from all parties concerned.

Talkfest or breakthrough? Many conventions turn out to be talkfests and little else – remember the national discussion we had about a republic? – but at least the latest meeting of the Council of Australian Governments (look on their work at www.coag.gov.au) came up with ways forward on water use and health spending. Will Kevin Rudd’s 2020 summit (www.australia2020.gov. au) – assuming the Mayans are wrong about 2012 – have similar positive outcomes? You can make a submission to the summit online by April 9 or take part in a local summit organised by Richmond MP Justine Elliott at Byron Bay High School on Tuesday April 15 at 5.30pm.

o-one could seriously consider Kevin Rudd’s 17 day trip to America, Europe and Japan as a junket, and no one has criticised it as one; there has been no nicking off on a tour of archaeological ruins in the style of Gough Whitlam, still less lazy days spent at the cricket in the footsteps of the sainted Sir Robert Menzies. It has been full-on face to face diplomacy, and if the talks with George Bush showed alarming signs of degenerating into the mutual masturbation that so dismayed us during the Howard era, at least old Dubya won’t be around to embarrass us (and the rest of the world) for much longer. Apart from that, Rudd renewed old contacts and made many new ones in Washington and conďŹ rmed the new government’s intention to re-engage with the United Nations, a welcome and long overdue commitment. The rest of the tour, to London, Paris and the NATO meeting in Bucharest before the climax in Beijing, will be equally relevant. The only real criticism has been not that the trip is too long, but that it is too short: it should also have included a visit to Tokyo. But Rudd decided that two and half weeks was enough time away from home. And that really is the political problem: the timing has been less than ideal, and it is largely Rudd’s own fault. He has spent the ďŹ rst four months of government warning that we face a crisis – indeed a series of crises: ination, housing, hospitals, climate change, water, gambling, teenage binge drinking and anything else his energetic staff can dream up. If the

situation in Australia is really as dire as he claims, surely he should be sitting in Canberra dealing with it, especially in the crucial weeks before his government’s ďŹ rst budget. His absence shows a touching trust in his inexperienced team, but it also suggests that his priorities remain, as some have feared, in the big picture of foreign policy rather than the domestic nitty gritty. He tried to reassure us before he went: his trip, he insisted, was of vital importance to working Australian families. However, those having their homes repossessed may struggle to see the connection. Once home, our Prime Minister would be wise to plant both feet ďŹ rmly on the

At least Rudd was able to leave on a note of triumph: the COAG meeting with the state premiers was a huge political success, with in principle agreement on the Murray-Darling, hospitals and business regulation – an impressive start to the great election aim of ending the blame game. Opposition environment spokesman Greg Hunt complained that the MurrayDarling impasse should have been resolved sooner, which, considering John Howard had failed to make any progress at all for nearly a year, showed admirable hide. But he might have done better to

by sealing the irrigation canals; at present there is considerable leakage. But this is not all bad: the leakage goes back into the water table or into the river. With the leaks sealed the water will remain in the canal, and the irrigator will take half of it. The other half, to be returned to the river, may in fact represent a net loss. Yet the policy is meant to be all about looking after the river system. At least the agreed model of administration at the top is a sound one: an independent commission to determine state quotas, the states to have right of appeal but the federal minister to have the ďŹ nal say. But that leaves

the states plenty of room for fiddling further down the line, and the $10 billion Howard allocated to his Great Big Splash will give them plenty to ďŹ ddle with. It may be that the COAG agreement will need a bit of ďŹ ne tuning, perhaps in the form of a total takeover by Canberra somewhere down the line. Now that really would end the blame game. A second level Rudd crisis, binge drinking, is apparently to be attacked through a scare campaign; agencies are to be instructed to prepare a series of horriďŹ c advertisements designed to frighten the livers out of impressionable teenagers and thus wean them off the hard stuff and on to a blameless diet of lemonade and Horlicks. Rudd harks back approvingly to the Grim Reaper AIDS campaign and the anti-smoking ads showing nauseating pictures of diseased lungs. These, he notes were truly memorable. And so they were, but there is no evidence they were effective. The control of AIDS was largely due to educating the tightly-knit gay community and needle exchanges: the decline in smoking came about after the habit became hugely expensive and inconvenient. The scare was incidental. Drinking is unlikely to be different. Many years ago the French government, alarmed by a huge incidence of genuine alcoholism in the community, ran a national campaign that blitzed the country with posters warning: ‘Alcohol is a slow killer.’ The French drinkers, with their customary sangfroid (or perhaps savoir faire), replied: ‘So who’s in hurry?’ and retired to the nearest bar. Will Australians be far behind?

have a critical look at the solution. Essentially it involved a $1 billion dollar bribe to Victorian irrigators, which, assuming it was simply an a advance payment out of the S10 billion package announced by Howard is no great problem: about $3 billion was destined for irrigators anyway. But why? Well, to improve their efďŹ ciency and ďŹ nancial viability. But surely this is something they should have been doing for themselves. And of course the provident ones already are; the handouts are going to allow the duds to catch up, not the most sensible allocation of resources. One way the money will be used is in reducing waste

Give the market a hand Fantastic to see that the Council handed responsibility for parking and punters to the Blues Fest organisers. Offering over our only access road to the north for trafďŹ c control was brave but ultimately paid off with relatively minor hassles for locals and visitors. Byron business must have beneďŹ ted from the secondary proďŹ ts in booze, food and accommodation (in that order) the festival brought. So‌ Why doesn’t Council do the same for the 400 all local businesses at the Byron Bay monthly market? Incredibly, in the last few years, we had have hundreds of parking sites being signed off, roped off, fenced off. Just

the sight for a frustrated tourist to see and well enough reason to pull a U turn, vowing never to come back to this unwelcoming circus. Also, the obvious danger to all concerned especially little ones,when there are no signs to assist visitors to where there is parking in town, no-one directing trafďŹ c or assisting with sensible parking behaviour. Look at The Channon market. What a fantastic example of organisation and proďŹ t for local charitable services. Why was all that railway land across from the market fenced off and more important, who paid for it? Why can’t the Peace Park be used for the day at least by stall holders, to get their vehicles

out of customer parking areas? Why doesn’t Council allow stall holders to beautify the site with removable shade trees etc? The place is a frikken desert. This is crown land to be used by the community. The Council website states, ‘Council strives to deliver the highest standard of local government and infrastructure’, so when you read this, don’t get mind pictures of the elected councillors, aim your thoughts at the faceless ones feverishly writing and rewriting policy and procedure manuals in the Mullum temple to poor decisions. Anyone care to respond?

Speeding bozos This is to all the bozos who speed through the school zone at the Mullum/Main Arm boundary – please don’t! Not only do a lot of people speed, but some overtake those doing 40km/h in the 40km zone. And get this, twice lately when I’ve been doing 40km/h where I’ve been indicating to turn right into one of the schools, some idiot has overtaken me! Beware, next time I shall get your number plate and give it to the police because you are a dangerous accident waiting to happen. The police tell me that there are so many cars speeding in this zone that when they sit there with a radar they can’t even book the ones doing up to 20km over the limit because they are at tack booking those doing 30 and 40 and 50km over the limit! This is bad, bad, bad. Apart from perhaps being responsible for a bad accident and causing devastation to a family (maybe yours), those of you who speed, how would it be waking up every morning for the rest of your life knowing you had killed a child because of stupidity – all for gaining one minute of time? Hey, if your life is that much of a hurry, move to the city or leave home one minute early. Whatever, please have respect for the road rules in this area – we are a community, not a bunch of unconnected and uncaring people, so let’s behave like we care for each other and our kids.

Drum invasion

In response to the letter from the Drum and Dance Collective in last week’s Echo, where in the ďŹ rst sentence of the fourth paragraph you ask ‘Whose interests does the BVHS serve?’, let me help you out, once again: the uninterrupted sounds of drumming which force their way without invitation or respect into the ears of probably hundreds of householders within earshot, folks who look forward to a quiet and possibly restful Saturday afternoon in the privacy of their own homes, is seen by many, and no doubt also by the BVHS, to be self-interested and disrespectful. I live over three kilometres’ drive from the Mullum market site, although closer as the bird, or the drum

Toxic menace Concern about toxic substances has led me to do some research, and I have come across a substance of particular menace – a substance that in colourless, odourless and tasteless, and is common as a liquid, a solid, or a vapour. In its liquid form it can cause asphyxia, with young children especially at risk, although many adults do succumb. Further as a liquid it can have dangerous lubricant effects; it can also cause oxidation of metals, in particular, ferric metals. As a vapour, it can obscure vision, although fortunately, with no necessary long-term effects. As a solid (and even as a liquid) it can precipitate, often (though not invariably)

Sea shepherds Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Operation Migaloo campaign in the southern ocean was successful in stopping the Japanese whaling fleet from obtaining their quota for 07/08. The campaign didn’t go without a few dramas, with two crew members of the Steve Irwin jumping onto a whaling vessel, which brought international attention to the slaughter of whales in Antarctica by the Japanese. Another incident was the alleged shot taken at Captain Paul Watson, just as well he had on a Kevlar vest. This incident is being investigated by the Federal Police. I wait with bated breath. To all the supporters of Sea Shepherd and the whales, they thank you all for your support for the 07/08 campaign and in the future, for the oceans and whales. Paul Brecht

Along with the incredible music that the Blues brings to Byron come other oppurtunities for the community to take advantage of. Punters may have noticed that joining the music lovers this year was an increased number of local youth. With the shire’s absence of youthbased venues the festival provided a much needed place of entertainment for the kids. The outdoor environment, good weather and live music, both popular and freshly discovered, allowed them to feel included in this world class event. At extended all-ages events like Woodford, Exodus, Splendour and The Blues etc youth are learning to interact with and be a part of a social ecosystem.

me feel ‘at home’, at last in myself. ‘Once someone has had that experience there is no return to the life you had before. There is only one way forward, to spirituality.’ – Jost Sauer, author, speaker and healer. Telling young people not to try drugs may not work if we are not addressing the spiritual hunger that is underlying most people’s attraction to drugs. There is a need for spiritual education and inquiry into, what do we want most of everything in our lives? What does happiness and love feel like? Can we create these feelings? Drugs can bring a limited experience of bliss, but to continually take them to keep this state can have the opposite effect, causing disconnectedness and paranoia. Drugs can become addictive and sometimes very harmful for the body.

Our kids are part of the global phenomenon of binge-drinking and destructive behaviour that is looking for real solutions on a local level. Perhaps as this and other festivals come to our beautiful shire we, as parents and proactive community members, can utilise these opportunities to foster healthy and creative social attitude. As a parent and caretaker I would like to thank the Blues on behalf of many happy kids. Other parents have suggested a community youth monitoring collective might lighten the festival security load. Also a discounted 14-17 year youth ticket (like Woodford) might minimise the fence-jumping issue. As a young woman in a current film aptly says, ‘It’s not just what you’ve got, it’s how you use what you have got.’

will follow. They have caused so much havoc in Ocean Shores, plus the rest of the Shire, there is certainly nothing funny about it. I know from an earlier run-in with Cr Tom that he, in typical politician’s denial mode, feels that the ills of Ocean Shores have nothing to do with the current or past Council. Must have been the fairies then who robbed Ocean Shores of its rightful sports fields. That ‘great’ achievement came at nothing short of ignoring the

wishes of over 90% of the locals here. How democratic! Just one of many, many issues! We are simply too aware by now that Ocean Shores only counts for BSC when it’s time pocket our hard earned rates! The other side of the coin relates to the mixup of the next Council. It’s a tough job, there will be a massive amount to be done, and for lousy $10K a year we will hardly get any sensibly qualified candidates to stand. That fact in itself represents

an idiot’s breakfast any sensible organisation would address immediately, but not here in NSW. It just shows how hopelessly far we have fallen behind on all levels of much needed reform. Tom, I sincerely wish you well in retirement from Council, whenever it may arrive, but better sooner than later. Maybe the sale of your house (block of flats?) will captivate you to put your energy to better use.

Nature of cancer

Why is there leukaemia research? (‘They’re brave and they shave…’ Echo, March 11). Cancer is immune system dysfunction. Cancer functions like an iceberg: for every person who contracts it, there are many more below the surface who are just off contracting it. Why are immune systems functioning poorly? Wouldn’t it be wise to check food, air and water as the bases of life Rene Thalmann and what is taken into the Ocean Shores body daily?

An atmosphere of intrigue ■ The German Military admission to chemtrails and climate control in its airspace (Letters, March 25) will do little to raise awareness and change things. This is because the American Military controls the airspace of the entire planet, having patented the weather and now controlling it with its Weather Wars program. At first the chemtrails which are manipulated into cloud by HAARP, a military installation in Alaska, were sprayed by the military in different countries, but these days airline fuel is laced with ethylene dibromide (EDB) aluminium, barium, titanium and other chemicals. The chemtrails weather wars program has a multifaceted agenda including population control, mind control and economic manipulation with drought, storms and hurricanes. It is being ignored by all governments, political parties and environmental groups. Two American senators have spoken out about chemtrails but because of the lack of support have been silenced. The evidence is well documented on the net and I will provide some topics to

Google if you wish to get the picture. Go easy on yourself as you uncover the information; take it slow because for most people it requires a quantum leap in awareness and the information can cause a lot of fear. Try not to go into denial, this is what the agenda depends on, a planet of sleep walking zombies well and truly sucked into the matrix it has created with mind control and media. Once you have stepped outside of the matrix you will then be empowered to take some steps to survive the horror of the deliberate dumping of thousands of tonnes a day of poisons into our airspace and the resulting environmental degradation and illnesses. If you wish to email me to discuss this subject I am at star2trippers@yahoo.com Ashiya Austin

Byron Bay ■ Ross Thatcher’s letter on chemtrails raises some interesting issues. Firstly, contrails do not necessarily disperse quickly. Their behaviour depends on altitude, temperature and relative humidity. It is not

unusual for them to develop into clouds. So don’t be overly worried if you see that phenomenon overhead, at Easter or any other auspicious occasion. Next, the chemtrail article on the (mostly good) naturalnews site appears to be based on underlying truth.The selfproclaimed ‘Distinguished Author’ Rami Nagel, is not so believable. His view that the world is not over-populated is bizarre and his principal aim appears to me to be marketing his books. I looked at Cure Tooth Decay which is a hotchpotch of dubious nutritional dogma. I am therefore suspect of the others. But who am I to disagree with ‘Artist, California: Excellent. Bought the book, lots of info given. Wow!’, or ‘Mother, Tennessee: First off - I must thank you PROFUSELY! for your wonderful research and article.’ Further, it appears that military nuts in the US are experimenting with weather control. What is happening in Germany is less clear. It appears to involve radar cloaking. Aussie contributors to the debate provide astounding reading.They include Danny

Rosenblum who spends his time abusing meteorologists and appears to be linked to 2012.com.au, which used to purvey guff about the end of the world and the Mayan calendar. But they’ve pulled their site, leaving only an email address, so maybe the end is nigh (only four years to go,Yikes!). He thinks that El Nino is a scientific conspiracy, and evil government forces caused the drought. Susan Goldman agrees and links chemtrails with UFOs, and alleges that a Melbourne Jewish family organises all the demonstrations for political parties in Oz. These tirades have been picked up by conspiracy sites all over the web. I would be a good deal more concerned about what has already been done to the atmosphere than what fools in the US military think they can do. We have already set a global experiment running which will have mostly unpleasant results. The tinkering that Dr Strangelove and his egomaniacal cronies are involved in will be insignificant by comparison. Alan Watterson

Letters/Articles Are food, air and water in this society uncontaminated? Briefly looking at just one of these, tap water can have added to it any combination of copper sulphate, alum, chlorine, fluoride. All are known poisons. All are known to be more toxic in combination than the sum of their parts and yet the synergistic (or combined) effect of chemicals added to local water supplies is not tested. Why would we not suspect that drinking tap water could compromise immune systems? Yet departments of public health do not issue health warnings regarding tap water, as though the very unscientific point of view that what is not known will not hurt, has precedence. That’s just water. Don’t get me started on food and air! Should not energy be spent making sure food, air and water are the highest quality, rather than pretend-

ing that if there was more money, science could be used to overcome cancers that may occur with neglect of the bases of life? Any inquiry into health (‘Have say at health inquiry’, Echo March 11) needs to ask the hard question: Is preventative healthcare not emphasised in this society because it would not be healthy for the current health industry if people were well rather than ill? I would suggest the best area to look for the causes of cancer is in excessive industry dependence, and the mass denial that accompanies it.

Like to grow awesome orchids?

George Dawe

Uki ■ Letters received from Peggy Balfour, Mullumbimby, Carole Gamble, Mullumbimby, Geoff Allen, Mullumbimby. Letters about happy camping are on page 14.

Ever admired the exquisite beauty of orchids and thought you’d like to try growing them, only to be put off by the notion that they’re difficult to grow? ‘There is a misconception that orchids are harder to grow than other plants,’ says City of Lismore Orchid Society vice president Ron Campbell, pictured. ‘They are actually quite hardy. But, like any flowering plant, they need to be watered and fed correctly to deliver their glorious flowers in autumn and spring.’ Expert advice and simple tips on growing awesome orchids come free with any of the low-priced plants purchased during the region’s annual upcoming orchids shows, the first at Alstonville Plaza shopping centre from Wednesday to Saturday, April 2-5. The show will be open from 7am till 9.30pm on the two main days, 7am till noon on Saturday, with entries to be delivered between 3.30pm and 9pm on Tuesday, April 1. Lismore’s show will be staged at Lismore Central shopping centre from

Thursday to Saturday, April 10-12, to be followed by Ballina (May 8-11) and Casino (May 29-31). Going on previous shows, up to 250 colourful orchids from North Coast and Queensland growers will face the judges at each of the four local shows. ‘Although summer’s rain wasn’t kind to local growers, we’re expecting

a good showing,’ Ron said. ‘A number of the show bench entries will be for sale, but scores of others not entered in competition can be purchased at bargain prices, along with orchid floral arrangements.’ If you would like to know more orchid growing or about entering the shows, call Ron on 6624 2316.

Hazards and thrills of camping out ■ True, there is a problem with people staying in campervans overnight, not only in Byron For more than half a year I observe a fellow who decided to have a (semi) permanent residency in his red van on the new Yelgun rest area. Obviously aware that he can not stay there every night, he must have two or three other places he rotates to, up to now successfully, from his point of view. However, on the other hand, let’s not forget that

according to last Saturday’s Sydney Morning Herald NSW got rid of 50 caravan parks only last year, when at the same time the number of camping enthusiasts has almost tripled over the last 12 years. A lot of those parks were close to the sea and had to make way for apartment houses with ocean views etc, certainly not in financial reach of average Australians, who are now more and more deprived of the only way to have an affordable holiday

An information session will be held on Thursday 1 May, Ballina Campus.

Ocean Shores ■ The fact campers are unwilling to pay $25 a night (or a whopping $175 a week) to park their vans in our crown reserve caravan parks clearly demonstrates our publicly owned parks have priced themselves out of the market – $25 for a shower and a shit is expensive in anyone’s language! Crown reserve camping grounds were initially established to provide holiday opportunities for families of low income workers. It was assumed the rich could afford to buy or rent holiday homes. Unfortunately the prevailing ‘economic rationalist’ ideology insists governments no longer provide essential services but compete with the private sector to make massive profits. This has resulted in all providers targeting the upmarket tourist, none of our caravan parks appears to be catering for the budget traveler – or homeless people who are increasingly forced to live in cars or tents. Many young people are living in vans – with rents so high this is the only way they can move out of home or get to see the country. Thousands of people of all ages are travelling around looking for work and somewhere they can afford to live.

Just ask any community organisation providing emergency relief! Unless we start catering to the desperate need for affordable accommodation, the crisis assailing the low income sector will wind up in our carparks, our sand dunes and vacant public land. Instead of hassling the campers, Suffolk Park residents should vent their rage on those who manage our crown reserve camping grounds and insist they provide affordable overnight camping – at a price the market is willing to bear! We need solutions to the housing crisis not angry vigilantes attacking vulnerable people or bureaucrats imposing crippling financial penalties on those least able to pay. Is no-one outraged to be witnessing the tragic socioeconomic purging of Byron Shire? Michele Grant

Ocean Shores ■ Hello there! This is in to last week’s Echo article ‘Residents not happy about campers’, by Jann Gilbert. Neil Cameron from Suffolk Park must’ve done a huge work counting the number of illegally parked vans against the population of turkeys to come up with a balance statement in favour of the former. Was he really out to ‘search the wave’? The problem seems to be with some travellers ‘using showers and amenities at ratepayer expense’ and ‘make themselves right at home’.

Something I do too. Thus offended, Neil’s gang member dons a ranger’s outfit and applies his acting skill as well as a stick to disturb the peace of hapless visitors. Us and them. Makes you wonder how many of the uniformed force are really real and whether the community encourages such impersonation. I might get a frock for myself, just in case if Neil knocks on my door, I will shine back at him with my own torch. I am on your side, buddy, working undercover. Rob Hoskins, an early morning dog walker, observes bitterly over the fence of his property as ‘they light bonfires, urinate and defecate in the dunes’. Rob prefers electric light and a privacy of his flushing facilities. He pays his rates. They aren’t. Not fair. Complain to police. Perhaps a van parked overnight is a sore sight for some, so let’s make the forbidding signs BIGGER. Billboard size, perhaps, flashing with warning lights and wailing a siren: ‘YOU CANNOT STAY HERE’. The law would not be violated! (Those who break it would.) I am waiting for different signs. Signs of change. Shame on you, Byron, for treating your guests like cane toads. As you hide in your paid cages, a free spirit is roaming outside, in the dark. Turkeys and humans alike. You are welcome to join us. Edgar Oden

The film outlines the effects of and strategies for dealing with deforestation. It will be an afternoon of short films and discussion sessions for anyone interested in sharing ideas and organising community projects to help us continue to live well, as fossil fuels become scarce and more expensive. Guest speakers will be Gayle Russell from the North Coast Climate Action Group who will talk about activities currently underway in the area. ‘There are actions we can take locally to move toward a sustainable future,’ Ms Russell said. Ms Henkel, who is providing this unique sneak

preview of The Burning Season describes it on her website: ‘As the world faces up to the impacts of climate change, a young environmental entrepreneur proposes a massive carbon trading deal that could protect the forests of Indonesia, save the orangutan from extinction, and affect the Earth’s future. Ms Henkel will also be promoting her latest project, Turn your Town Upside Down stating that, ‘A village the size of Clunes could easily generate enough wind power to provide electricity to every household.’ ‘Come bring your ideas and enthusiasm to share skills on everything from community gardens, to group buying of water tanks and solar hot water systems, push bike maintenance and basic home energy efficiency workshops,’ say organisers. ‘Those of us who care

about our children’s, and their children’s future, really need to start making changes now,’ Tracey Brown de Langan of the North Coast Action Group said, ‘There are a lot of alternatives already being tried around the world for us to look at. ‘To me it’s an exciting challenge that can bring communities together in a very positive way.’ The screenings and discussions will take place at the Clunes Village Common on Walker Street, on Sunday April 6 from 3pm to 5pm. Local coffee, tea and cakes will be available and donations appreciated to make it a sustainable event.

Something funny about getting old

Approaches to addiction at integrative medicine conference

This year audiences in the Northern Rivers should prepare themselves for a very different Seniors Week. If you are expecting some sweet little Bingo ladies humming along to morning melodies then you are in for a big surprise. Mandy Nolan, Festival Director for The Big Joke Comedy Festival, has taught 12 seniors from Ocean Shores to Lismore the gentle art of standup comedy. The men and women who range in age from 63 to 80 have drawn on their life experiences, their wisdom, their mistakes, their struggles and their triumphs to create dynamic and engaging routines. Subject matter ranges from the positive aspects of a prosthetic leg, taming wild walking frames, the tyranny of fitness instructors, baking bread to being single and seeking a good warm cuddle. The Shooting From My Hip Replacement crew had their first performance at The Big Joke Comedy Festival a few weeks ago to an appreciative audience who were amazed at what this courageous bunch of novice performers had achieved in just a few days. The project strongly echoes the Seniors Week theme of Live Life.

The fourth Byron Integrative Medicine Conference will be held at the Byron Bay Beach Resort on April 11 and 12. The conference is hosted by the North Coast Medical Centre, under the directorship of Dr Anthony Solomon and naturopath Sally Mathrick. The conferences aim to increase integration of medicines amongst health practitioners for best patient care and outcomes. This conference is designed for health professionals to increase their skills in working with addicted clients. Speakers include: Professor Marc Cohen – tenured professor at RMIT Department of Complementary Medicine. Marc will tackle the Paradigms of Addiction, looking at addiction treatment, the history and progression of thinking. He will also define addiction, and at the facts, myths and misconceptions surrounding addiction. Local psychologist Jane Enter – will present a polydrug addiction case for comanagement discussion between small eclectic delegate groups, followed by a group discussion of treatment protocols. Dr Paul McGeowan, visit-

The ‘bad memory’ stereotype is thrown to the wind as the veteran standups seem to recall their jokes effortlessly. According to Mandy Nolan, the most important part of The Shooting From The Hip Replacement is its emphasis on story. ‘Standup comedy teaches people to value their own experiences and draw on their personal story for inspiration. Older people in our community just have so much wisdom and humour to share with us, it’s important to take the time to listen. ‘It’s amazing to hear an

older person talk about thing like the need for human contact and being lonely, or their disenchantment with fitness regimes because it reminds us that regardless of age, our human experience is shared. Comedy is great for connecting with other people!’ The Shooting From the Hip Replacement Seniors Week Project has been funded through DADHC and jointly funded by Lismore and Byron Shire Council. Norpa has provided assistance as the auspice body for the funding and The Big Joke Comedy Festi-

val has facilitated the training and the promotion. Shooting From The Hip Replacement is MC’d by Mandy Nolan and will be performed at the Byron Bay Services Club on Monday April 7 at 7pm for $5. Tickets are available at the club or bookings can be made on 6685 6878. (Roast of the Day available for $6.) The Lismore Performance is scheduled for 11am on Wednesday April 9 at City Hall. Entry is $2 and bookings can be made to 6622 0300. A morning tea will be provided from 10am.

ing medical officer at Riverlands will present ‘A day in the life of Riverlands Detox Centre’, providing insight into detoxification protocols within contemporary drug rehabilitation. Physician, psychiatrist and researcher Dr Adam Winstock will examine the politics of addiction treatment. Exploring addiction from a socio-political perspective, considering the prevalence, the cost, the outcomes of treatment and the future of addiction medicine. Nutritionist Henry Osiecki will consider the biochemistry of addiction. The neurochemical patterns of different addictions, particularly amphetamines and marijuana, also considering the nutritional/herbal influences upon these. All keynote speakers will join the panel discussion chaired by Barry Evans, Director of The Buttery, with questions and answers from delegates. Ten per cent of any profits will go to The Buttery Rehabilitation Centre.

An innate talent for the Reel drives Elissa Jann Gilbert Elissa Down knew from an early age that she was going to be a filmmaker. ‘I was always one of those annoying kids who kept saying, “I want to put on a play.” I always loved performing and putting on shows, and just telling stories,’ says Elissa. ‘I studied film and television at high school and then went to Curtin University in Perth and studied film and television there. It just seemed like a natural progression.’ For Elissa, it’s the everchanging journey of making a film that is compelling; a way of telling stories that encompasses everything she likes to work with including story, performance, music, visuals, design and costumes. ‘It’s the different aspects of filmmaking, it’s not the one thing all the time,’ says Elissa. ‘You’ve got to get the script and then there’s the pre-production and casting. There’s all these different departments you’re working with. It’s a community of people, which I really like.’ Elissa’s love of the medium is obvious in her films. Following a number of successful short films her first feature, The Black Balloon, which she co-wrote and directed, has already won

acclaim as well as the award for Best Feature in the Generation 14+ category at the Berlin Film Festival – one of the world’s largest and most highly-regarded festivals. The script is based on her own experience growing up with two autistic brothers. However, rather than a depressing tale, it’s a heartwarming and uplifting story of family, love and fitting in. Elissa’s closeness to the story proved challenging in the initial writing stage with a reticence, either conscious

or unconscious, about revealing too much of herself or her family or being psychoanalysed through the story. ‘But then I met Jane Campion, who is patron of the Aurora script-hothouse program I went through, and she was an amazing mentor,’ says Elissa. ‘Jane said, “Who cares what people think?” I really just needed that little push. From there, it was like, okay, everything’s up for grabs. If you’re going to give people an insight of what it was like to grow up in this family you’ve just got to be

completely truthful.’ The liberation Elissa felt in throwing caution to the wind ultimately led to the development of a first-class script that attracted a stellar cast including Toni Collette and Gemma Ward, who loved the script on first reading. ‘Even though you know you’ve got a great story, when they come on board you’re just so excited. But there’s still this other part of you that’s pinching yourself and going, what!’ Working with an amazing

cast is one thing but it’s the performances they deliver that Elissa believes really shine. During shooting the cast worked together to bring the script to life with what she believes are outstanding results. ‘Even though I’ve watched it so many times, I just get sucked in by the performances, they’re just so beautiful and they work amazingly. There are so many layers,’ says Elissa. After a total of six years in the making of the film (and a bit of marketing work to go yet) Elissa is planning on taking a well-earned break, ‘probably on an island somewhere’ before heading off to the US to see agents and talk distribution. As part of the Screenworks Reel Talk series, Elissa will be in Byron Bay for the premier of The Black Balloon on Thursday April 3 at 6.30pm at Byron Cinemas. The film is followed by a Q&A, and provides a great opportunity to network over a free glass of champagne. Tickets are $15 for Screenworks members and $20 for non-members (including a drink), and are on sale now at Byron Cinemas. Further enquiries please contact Screenworks via web at events@screenworks.com.au or phone on 6687 1599.

Painting or writing on the theme of peace can earn students Splendour tix Competitions are currently under way for our local year 10 through 12 students to focus their pens or paints on interpreting the theme of human rights and peace. The Centre for Peace and Social Justice at Southern Cross University is hosting an International Human Rights conference to be held in Byron Bay (July 1-4) and this presents a timely opportunity to involve our local youth in thinking about the topics of human rights and peace. One competition is for writing an essay; the other is for creating an art poster. Entries close in early May, and the first prize of Splendour in the Grass tickets for both categories should have students scrambling for those pens and paints! Local high schools have been provided with competition information packages. For further information, interested students should contact their English or Art department teachers and get busy creating!

Get along for a WOW of a time at women’s filmfest Jann Gilbert With the emphasis in modern culture on ‘rational consciousness’, and masculine representations and voices, there’s often very little room left for stories that emanate from the feminine gaze. It’s for this reason that theWorld ofWomen’s Cinema (WOW) Film Festival was originally established, to showcase the world through the eyes of women. Local filmmaker Lois Randall was instrumental in initiating the festival 15 years ago when she was working as coordinator for Metro Television (now Metro Screen) in Sydney. Originally a partnership between Metro, Women in Film & Television (WIFT) and the Boomali Aboriginal Artist Cooperative, the first three festivals included a photographic exhibition by Aboriginal women photographers, which sadly is no longer part of the festival. ‘At that stage, and it’s still true now, the screen industry was very male dominated,’ says Lois. ‘The festival was seen as a way of getting films made by women, and showcasing representations of women by women.’ According to Festival Director and WOW tour coordinator Nyin Cameron

Writer/director Darlene Johnson on location with David Gulpilil.

from WIFT, that’s still the motivation for the Festival. WIFT now coordinates the festival, which is sponsored by the NSW Film & Television Office, and receives funding from the AFC for the WOW National Tour. ‘The people involved in WOW are committed to having it established as a festival where there’s exhibition opportunities given to a variety of films made by

women or with key creative input by women,’ says Nyin. ‘It’s a really important opportunity to provide and offers exposure for women filmmakers that they might not otherwise get.’ In the festival’s initial stages the criteria was pretty much women only, however the festival now also showcases films made in collaboration with male writers or directors or cinematographers.

‘Basically now the criteria have been expanded so that the key creative input must be from women. That is, the director should be a women because of the “auteur” idea of the role of a director,’ says Nyin (where the director is largely the author of the overall vision of the work). ‘Or, if the director is male, then the other key creatives like the producer or cine-

matographer would need to be women.’ Rather than the criteria being discriminatory towards men (that is not its aim), Nyin believes it’s important in terms of combating the stereotyping of women in films, and women’s films. ‘You often hear films referred to as “a woman’s film” but what does that mean?’ asks Nyin. ‘Sometimes films made by women are seen as not being commercial but does that invalidate what the filmmaker is trying to say or express? There are a lot of issues there, which is why it’s such an important festival to support.’ Despite the so-called ‘non-commercial’ nature of ‘women’s films’ many of the films in the festival have already won acclaim or awards at the likes of Cannes or the Festival Sguardi Altrove in Milan, where audiences responded enthusiastically to the Australian entries. Perhaps that’s because, as Byron Bay Film Festival Director J’aimee SkipponVolke who was instrumental in bringing the WOW festival tour to Byron says, ‘All of the really sensitive films in the festival that confront tough issues are directed by women. They have a par-

ticular view or way of handling the material that connects audiences with the stories and really touches them.’ Among many such films in the festival is Crocodile Dreaming, directed by young Aboriginal filmmaker, Darlene Johnson, and starring David Gulpilil and Tom E Lewis. The film has already received national acclaim for its moving portrayal of two estranged half-brothers, Burrimmilla and Charlie, who must struggle against their own jealousy and distrust for each other. Darlene is currently working on her first feature film with Phillip Noyce. To see Crocodile Dreaming, and a mix of the best documentary, dramatic and comedic short films from a variety of Australian female filmmakers with a decidedly different view of the world, get along to the WOW film festival at the Community Centre in Byron Bay on April 4 and 5. Grab a festival pass for only $25 or session tickets from $8 to $10 each. Sessions run from 7.30pm on Friday night and at 4pm and 7.30pm on Saturday night.

What a difference a new road makes Michele Grant There was a notable change for commuters in the northern part of the Shire this summer. The peak holiday period passed without the usual traffic chaos. There were no snaking queued-up cars stalled around the Brunswick River bridge. No hot frustrated drivers crawling along the road from Yelgun or clogging up the bypass. Local residents can now travel around the neighbourhood, pop into Brunz or over to Billi and Mullum without fear of being rundown by B-doubles or sideswiped doing hair-raising

righthand turns. At the imposing new roundabouts at Rajah and Orana Roads drivers are imbued with a tremendous sense of power when the oncoming traffic careering down the hills is forced to stop and give way at the concrete oasis. Unfortunately Abigroup’s $265 million budget didn’t extend to resurfacing the small section of road from Heartbreak Hill (near the speed camera) to the Orana Road intersection. Pedestrians and bike riders travelling from Brunz are left stranded at the top of the hill where the pathway abruptly ends. The patchy uneven road sur-

face is ideal for aquaplaning in wet weather, and must take some responsibility for the terrible accident that recently claimed the life of one young man and left another seriously injured. Sadly new roads have not secured the community a funeral free festive season. The local road has removed the terror of living alongside the Pacific Highway. It has transformed traveling and enabled residents to exist in a safer, slower, saner, rural headspace, without having to run the gauntlet every time you leave the house. Shoppers can nick up to the Gold Coast on the new highway in under half an hour, workers can commute in less time than it takes to get to Byron. Locals and tourists alike can enjoy a cruisy, scenic trip to Murwillumbah and towns along Tweed Valley Way without being constantly tailgated or wedged between intimidating trucks. Getting over the Burringbar range is no longer fraught with danger, unless it’s pouring rain. Many are still adjusting to the changed conditions. The new Pacific Highway has caused a lot of sleepless nights for nearby residents. Painted rippled lines designed to keep drivers alert send rumbling shockwaves and dream destroying decibels over the floodplain and up the newly carved valleys. The rat runs through

Ocean Shores are an ongoing hazard. Potholes spring up like mushrooms after rain. Shara Boulevard, Balemo Drive, Orana and Rajah Roads need more than Council’s plug ’em up cosmetic surgery to rejuvenate the road surface and avoid a civil suit for damage to shockers and ball joints. Another worry for residents is the colourful greasy discharges floating along the sediment ponds at Billinudgel. Changing from red to brown or green after rain events, staining the stark white concrete drains before quietly seeping into the river. Both noise and industrial pollution need to be carefully monitored and effectively addressed to protect the Marshalls Creek floodplain and Brunswick River, and the community needs to ensure it happens. The glor ious new Billinudgel overpass has improved ‘connectivity’ and enhanced commercial opportunities, encouraging locals to walk and ride, meet and mingle and enjoy the neighbourhood. This extravagant gift is shaping a new sense of community. The overpass also provides an excellent vantage point for viewing the Shire’s future population growth centres, needed to justify the massive expenditure on infrastructure. Lit up like Luna Park, some claim the Overpass is visible from the moon, yet drunks staggering home from Billinudgel still manage to smash their beer bottles and routinely toss empties into the sediment ponds. Changing people’s attitudes and behaviour takes much longer than building a new road and is often far more taxing!

The Spirit of Childhood Foundation Ltd, based in Mullumbimby, operates programs promoting positive early childhood experiences and bonding through building the strength and resilience of parents, carers and the wider community. Seen here are Indigenous women Anne-Marie Lee, Raelene Bulumbara, and Selina Ashley Brown together with Jane Hanckel, CEO of Spirit of Childhood. The three indigenous women were attending a one week workshop in Mullumbimby. They are being trained to bring the Spirit of Childhood techniques of child development and connection to their own communities near Katherine in the

Northern Territory. The interactive programs are based on the principle of ‘action learning’. They provide new skills and strategies to strengthen early parent child bonds, build parenting skills and support an understanding of the developmental stages of early childhood. Planned for this year is the ‘Learning from Each Other’ Spirit of Childhood workshop to be held in Katherine, NT in August. The workshop will bring together elders and senior community members to share and continue the development of programs for strengthening outcomes of early childhood.

A night alternative

Wendy Bithell, founder and guide of Vision Walks, and her sidekick Peter Roberts demonstrate what would arguably be one of the better uses for military technology. Preferring to make love not war, these nature lovers combine 40 years of experience travelling national parks worldwide to give you a nocturnal experience viewing critters in the Nightcap National Park and Whian Whian State Conservation Area. The goggles amplify the available light, allowing visi-

tors to easily observe nocturnal animals when they are at their most active. Wendy reports that observing native animals at night alters the standard psychological relationship that exists between prey animals and humans. Possibly because being observed by humans at night time is a relatively new phenomenon to them, the nocturnal animals are less afraid and more curious of people than they are in the daylight.

Simple Way To Lose Fat

Last year I lost 25 kilos. Everyone keeps asking me: how did you do it? There is no magic answer. No treatment, device or potion can get rid of excess weight. I did it the old fashioned way. Diet and exercise. I gave up booze, sugar and high GI carbs. Initially I was worried that with the fat I may also lose my personality and become one of those pious health nuts. I am pleased to say I am still afflicted with a healthy sense of cynicism, and am still a pain but in a slightly smaller ass.

A few months ago I was approached by The Body Oasis to trial a cellulite treatment called Endermologie. At first I was a bit deflated. I had lost all that weight but my thighs and butt still looked like porridge in a body stocking, and someone had noticed! I am an advocate of ageing naturally and believe there have to be a few of us pioneers who say no to botox, tit jobs, butt lifts and liposuction. It’s called going with grace. Otherwise future generations may never get to know what an old woman actually looks like. I had never heard of Endermologie but was immediately suspicious. I imagined some invasive fat vacuum. I was assured that it was originally developed to treat scar tissue in burns victims. Turned out that their skin texture improved and cellulite disappeared. It’s this funny little roller

device that sucks and kneads connective tissue and triggers fat cells to release fat, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s blood and lymph flow. It also boosts collagen and elastin production to give your skin a healthier rejuvenated tone. I’m like ‘yeah, sure it does’. I have to admit, I thought that Nancy from the Body Oasis must be confident, because I told her that if I didn’t think the treatment worked I wouldn’t endorse it. In ten 35 minute treatments I was amazed. In fact I’d eat my words if they weren’t so high in carbohydrates. We did the initial weigh in and measure up, and in just 3 weeks with absolutely no kilo reduction I had lost 5cm off my waist (fluid retention) and 2cm off my thighs. My upper arms had lost 1cm each in circumference and the flappy bit that hangs over the bra under the arm (I call that the lady scrotum) had reduced from a bulge to an inoffensive curve. It was very relaxing (like a deep tissue massage) and left me feeling invigorated. I have a noticeable cellulite reduction and have just knocked back a request to be the centrefold for the next Senior’s Monthly. Only women get cellulite, and only men get man boobs. Endermologie will also reduce those man titties and love handles. Like me, its totally natural and it works.

With current technologies, there are a lot of treatments which can improve and maintain that healthy, fresh and vibrant appearance in a subtle yet effective way. Nonsurgical procedures and products such as medical strength microdermabrasion, anti-ageing injections, dermal fillers, IPL, medical strength chemical peels, Thermage (a skin tightening and contouring treatment), skincare programs that contain Vitamins A and C, skincare makeup and advice can help achieve that fresher image.

Conditions such as pigmentation, broken capillaries and blemishes, excess hair, and generally poor skin texture, can be treated with IPL. Anti-ageing injections address wrinkles on the forehead, sides of the eyes and between the eyebrows which are often caused by frowning, squinting and smiling.

being integrated into spa and general massage therapies for stress reduction, self-awareness, relaxation etc. In Shirodhara therapy a continuous stream of oil is applied to the forehead through a suspended seamless copper pot for different periods of time, depending on one's constitutional makeup and state of health. Shirodhara may be given using cold-pressed, cured and warm oils (or Ghee, milk, herbal decoctions, floral teas…) depending on the individual client's health and the prevailing season. All these oils can be reused by the client (only) for self massage or for other Shirodhara therapies (cost reducing) and are provided to the client after therapy. Despite no physical contact with the therapist and client, a high level of interaction takes place between them, as the therapist consciously directs the Dhara/flow onto the client’s forehead. The therapist must be well trained and must take a brief case history and explain to the client the relevance of lifestyle correction, necessary dietary changes and/or the need for herbs/supplements to go along with a series of Shirodhara therapies. Recent research has confirmed Shirodhara's relaxing effect on the pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus, making it most suited to conditions like high stress, insomnia, worry, anxiety, lack of concentration/ meditation, health maintenance,

Wonderful Vetrocolour Confused about Vetrocolor and painted splashbacks? It’s a special two pack applied to the back of glass, giving you a finish like a solid colour mirror. It can be applied over existing tiles in most situations with no grout lines, and it enhances and colour coordinates your decor. In bathrooms and spa/sauna rooms, it doesn’t allow water egress to the substrata thus eliminating extensive damage to the rest of the house. It also works brilliantly in kitchens.

BOBBY FLYNN LIVE MUSIC 24

Falling outside the cracks of the expected pop industry norm, Bobby Flynn is soft spoken, humble and clearly on a journey to explore life’s experiences. So what’s the deal with being different? Often likened to Nick Drake, Bobby Flynn’s unusual voice and stye operates way outside Australian Idol’s wannabe disposals. You took your album title from Tom Wolfe’s 60s psychedelic classic, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Is it wise to refer to the use of drugs to an audience that has grown up on a diet of commercial radio, Hey Hey it’s Saturday and Video Hits?

GIGS 30

Pop culture is the dirtiest drug you can get.

musical household?

Woodford with our band.

Yeah, my sister played a lot of music when I was a boy. My father drummed, and music was everywhere: classical, operas, Broadway tunes, Glen Campbell, 60-70’s pop. I was lucky to have influential neighbours too, and they introduced me to post UK punk like The Clash and The Joy Divsion.

Is the road the best place to write songs?

Your guitarist is Byron Bay local Zachary Armytage. How did he come to be in the band? I knew his girlfriend. After Australian IdoI, I went for a camping trip and ended up in Byron Bay. I met Zac at his country shack cooking red beans and rice. After a duo tour we played

CULTURE 24 BEATSNBOPS 24

EATING OUT 28

Yes. For me it’s about the evolution of us individually and collectively. Idol was interesting because I thought it was something that would compromise me, but I found out later that it’s just another way of getting yourself known. If you really understand who you are and are true to yourself, the mechanism that got you there is not important.

Favourite musicians and artists? Impressionists, those who accept the world while seeing the beauty in things. Tin Pan Alley, UK artists, Sandy Denny amazing, Fairport Convention. Modern post punk.

Mandy Nolan

Two days ago it was warm and sunny, the kids were in their bathers and were frolicking in the pool. Today it’s freezing, pissing with rain with a cold Arctic wind. Welcome to Melbourne where the weather is as unpredictable as a menopausal woman. I am now moving into my second week at the Comedy Festival. Let me give you a little rundown. The kids were thrilled when we arrived at the airport. They are country kids so just the existence of escalators gives them

www.echo.net.au ww www w ww.ec ww eeccho. h .net neet n e .au au au

the kind of thrill other kids would get at Luna Park. I let them ride up and down for an hour, with a few times through the metal detector (I told them it was the space ride simulator). You don’t realise how naive your kids are until they break the unwritten social etiquette that people use in cities to guard their space. We jumped in an elevator at the airport, much to the chagrin of the one lone business man who sat squashed in the corner behind my family and their luggage. He maintained that sad look that they seem to perfect here, with the solitary gaze into the middle distance. On the inside he may have been ecstatic – you would never know under the commuting mask. The door opened and we piled out, as we left my teenage daughter turned to the grey ghost clutching his briefcase and waved ‘Byyyee’. He looked stunned and then started giggling uncontrollably as the doors closed. I contemplated explaining to my daughter that every time you leave an elevator you don’t have to wave goodbye to the people inside. I decided against it because it’s actually quite lovely and it’s priceless to see their reactions. I wish could retain the same innocent charm, but it seems to be wearing a bit thin. Every night before my show I stand on the street for an hour and hand out flyers to passing pedestrians in the hope I can net a few customers for my show. I am in competition with about 200 fellow comedians and a bunch of homeless people begging for change. The homeless seem to have a better hit

rate, I was contemplating contracting them to do my flyering and I’d just pay them direct. I am trying to fill a room of 30 seats. It’s amazing how hard you have to work for an audience. I am glad I’m only doing a two week season, I don’t think my self esteem would take another fortnight on the streets begging for patronage with the catch cry ‘come to my show I’m funny’. I know they’re thinking ‘Yeah, that’s why you’re out here in the rain handing out your own flyers...’ Now I say ‘Come to my show if you feel like it I am mildly amusing.’ My new technique is much more aggressive. I say ‘fuck off, I don’t want you at my show you uptight suit wearing loser.’ And they come in droves. Let me tell you about my room. I walked into the Forum where I am performing and went wow. It’s an architectural marvel, a gothic masterpiece with ornate mouldings that look as though they have been fashioned from wet weetbix. There’s sweeping staircases, gold columns, velvet walls and handsome men in black suits standing behind roped off entrances. It’s really rather posh. I thought, excellent, the room will be small, but elegant. How wrong can you be? Turns out. Very. It was called the Carpet Room because that’s where they store carpet. It only took me a few moments to realise that they’d emptied out a storage room, whacked up a curtain and squeezed in a few chairs. The room is no more than three metres wide and about ten metres long. I’ve painted canvases bigger than that. I’ve had bathrooms that are bigger.

LIVE

I suffer from claustrophobia so it took me about 20 minutes to actually walk into the room. There is that slight feeling of panic attack, and it’s evidenced by the looks of wide eyed terror as my hoodwinked punters come through the door. They too were expecting something a little more grand. It’s got a serial killer feel. The kind of room that you can imagine a naked fat man sitting cross legged on the floor masturbating while he plays with his train set. (Or may be that’s just me. Note to self: stop imagining.) It’s the kind of room that needs a violent ending. I got to rethinking my show. It’s way too feel good. If I could come up with a way of bringing the show to a climax with human sacrifice, spattering blood over the walls, then I would bring the house down. When the lights go red, the entire space looks like a clot. I tell them instead that they’ve eaten bad mushrooms, and my name is Alice. On my second night there were roadworks on Flinders Street, so my tiny room shuddered from the impact of jackhammers. It was really rather exciting. Inside it sounded exactly like machine gun fire. I felt terribly edgy. Like I was performing comedy in a bunker in Beirut. It was very SBS, and I do think the added tension made it my best show. The weirdest thing about The Carpet Room is when the show finishes, there is this uncomfortable moment as the audience shuffles to their feet and scrambles for the door. I find myself standing on stage, waving, going ‘Byyyeee. Yee all come back now’. I really am a country girl.

handpicked by Krishna and Mitchell who lead the band with their Zeppelinesque vocals. The dynamic duo share vocals and lead the band on a harmonic trip to the depths of the earth, playing a mixture of originals and covers. The Outfit play on Saturday, a group that consists of the coolest cats on the street, cookin’ up a stew of Soul Food for your aural pleasure. The focus of The Outfit is to bring to the bandstand the finest musicians, and pay respect to the movement of jazz/funk/ roots music reminiscent of the 60’ and 70’s. Byron Bay local singer/songwriter Matt Seaberg performs Sunday, and possesses an array of vocal styles through indie, funk and rock genres. His first album, Gemini’s Many Sides has a diverse track list, from jazzy, rhythmic Jamiroquai parallels to medleys fused with funk, blues, world music, dance and rock with the odd melancholy ballad.

PACIFIC CURLS WITH SARAH BEATTIE At the forefront of contemporary musicians coming out of Aotearoa in New Zealand is the dynamic talents of Pacific Curls aka Kim Halliday and Ora Barlow. In their latest metamorphosis The Curls have been joined by talented Scottish fiddle player Sarah Beattie. This high-energy female trio are one of the few groups blending Pacific, Maori and Celtic musical instruments. See them on Friday April 11 at Coorabell Hall, 8pm.

ZEPNUSRAT What do you get when you cross Led Zeppelin and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? The Tinku band of course. With tight and accomplished musicianship, the group is taking the Zeppelin classics into a new stratosphere with an Indian influence. And it works. Hear all of your favourite Led Zeppelin

songs including Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Stairway to Heaven, Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, Black Dog, Rock N Roll and more this Saturday at The Rails with The Tinku band. Also at the Rails this week is Stick, a reggae band fronted by The Cruel Sea’s James Cruickshank. With somewhat of an underground following (Pete says it’s ‘The best band to ever play The Rails’), they dust off the vaults on some lesser known and obscure Jamaican rare one drops. Double bass included free. See them Friday. On Sunday it’s Groove Foundations, Monday it’s Andy Burke, Tuesday it’s Cas and Al.

Rick Fenn on guitar, James Dods on ukulele and Guy Madigan on drums. Elizabeth Lord and Leigh James will be there, singing and playing as heartfelt as ever, demonstrating how fine and polished and professional a musical duo can possibly get. More great acts announced next week, so come along, join in the fun and help send Mook off with a big bang! Harry Freeman plays piano from about 6.30pm, yummy food is available at Butlers in-house restaurant and there’s always great bar service, all at friendly Byron Bowlo prices. Still only $10 to get in.

THE TH T HE BO BOYS B OY YS SA AN AND ND S ND SUNDAY UND UN PEOPLE PE P EOP PLE LE DJ D JW Webber ebbe eb bbe er is one one n half hal a f off S Set Settle e tl et t e Down Productions and describes himself generously as ‘tits on the head, electroholic, wanker, pushin’ limits, full of shit, honest… quite clearly so, hot, loveable, super dry and on the books.’ His first club-gig was at CMoog. Now at 23 years of age Webber is busy as hell and is here to live it swell. ‘I’m defiantly a house fiend’, he says. I’d call it house with Electro firmly printed on it. Being inspired by Gui Boratto, a solid party vibe for a dance-floor is guaranteed and with Spirit Catcher in his box he delves into trancey Electro Disco as well. Daft Punk I assume he is saving to inject a bit of commercial when needed and with Jesse Rose, Justice and others he proves to be able to play diverse sets for different crowds, he’s got it going on! Daniel Webber draws inspiration from Aussie electronic artists too and might soon produce some dance-floor killers himself. Q: Who else inspires Webber right now? A: The Boys and Sunday People Q: What sparked you into DJ-ing? A: I used to travel down to Sydney during high school every couple of months with some mates to these massive superdome raves, seeing all those people going crazy to the music I loved, it seemed like clockwork. Q: When did you start? A: I was about 16, we would throw wild house parties when my parents went away, I met DJs along the way. They would bring their decks over and I would practice on them.

Q: Are there any other interests that take over when you aren’t spinning and beat-matching for a dance-floor? A: Love food, finishing my chef apprenticeship, exploring, stocks and trade. Q: You are also a promoter, what events have you done? A: As part of Settledown Productions with Peter Edwards we have done many clubhouse gigs, house parties, and large quarterly indoor events such as Spring Excuses, Summer Excuses, Wigmore, Winter Excuses, Make Me [S]wet & NYE Future Disco, all with attendance between 400-600ppl. I also have a slight affiliation with the notorious ‘7Whatevers’ beach parties with Deegs & Knoxy. Q: What would you add to the recipe to make an event a stimulating one? A: Putting oneself in their shoes, everyone gets sick of the same shit each week so do something different. Obviously the DJs must be entertaining, in touch with the crowd and their music, production is also important – décor, lights, gimmicks whatever will appeal to your crew. Promotion and networking is just as important as good flyer design to make your party attractive. Q: Is there a Ballina ‘scene’ and what’s it like? A: Depending who you talk to, everyone has a different opinion on the ‘scene’ if you ask me I think it’s better than ever, and as for Ballina its definitely happening you just got to hit it in the right spot. Every time we do a party, it packs out. Lack of support

from the older community means things are harder to plan, this is why Ballina has always been a bit of a joke. There are hundreds of people who are onto it; things will get better as the town grows younger.’ Q: Are you excited about the possibility of the old ‘Carpark, Verve, CMoog, Play> re-opening? A: Definitely, Byron can be a challenge for new clubs to keep patronage, the first few months will be crucial. I think everyone is ready for something new and exciting.’ Q: What’s in the pipeline for you? A: More of the same but different, to push a new sound in the area and corrupt more people into the scene and our music, more parties ultimately planning Large outdoor events and festivals.’ Q: Do you produce your own tracks? A: Yes, and it is now becoming more of a focus. Q: What rocks your box? A: A toss up between The Spirals – Without Control (Spirit Catcher remix) and random classic Wild obsession (Klass remix) by Erick Decks. Q: How is LaLa Land for you? A: Great, I do a 5 hour set every Thursday and share Fridays with Ryan Rushton. We play fresh music which gets great support without slipping into the commercial world too much. You can also hear Daniel once a month at Elsewhere. DJ Webber has definitely earned himself a reputation and popularity continues to grow for him and his parties.

Winsome – Lismore FRIDAY UNDERGROUND keeps pulling a crowd of music lovers, nerds, straights, stroll-ins, queers, students, hippies and yuppies. One can truly feel the motivation behind this weekly event, one of social and musical conscience. This Friday on the decks is Magoo and Bad Mojo. This is promising to be another very bad weekend, how’s your mojo?

LEO: Use this week’s tremendous impetus to say no to messy situations, stressful connections or problemcreating arrangements in your life, to simplify whatever’s become over complicated.

VIRGO: No doubt about it, April always gives your resourcefulness a workout. It’s the most vibrant, go ahead month in the astrological year for getting stuff done, but be advised this week could finally blow the cork on a bottled up issue – probably around Thursday. LIBRA: Libra’s the zodiac’s premier relationship sign and April’s all about understanding others: in business, at home, in social groups – loved ones, friends, competitors. Sweet people, impossible people, people on all sorts of power trips – this fascinating week brings plenty to practice with. SCORPIO: Scorpios’ April astral agenda centres round work (find more efficient systems), coworkers (be helpful, talk things through) and health (start looking after it). Luck consists mostly in skillfully turning circumstances to your advantage, so use this week to benefit from the inevitable. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians learn more from experience than theories, meaning

sometimes you won’t listen, can’t be told, have to make your own mistakes. Acting with discretion could convert a liability into a plus this week – acting without it may provoke some fiery responses. CAPRICORN: Most of April’s activity centres round your home, family or domestic circle. The closure of a long term phase is possible, and/ or changes to your living environment, with this upbeat week a blast of full color, fast action and creative projects taking off. AQUARIUS: This enterprising, action packed week could tax your tact, patience and sensitivity skills to the max, but is that a bad thing? Avoid bluntness: a little reverse psychology will work wonders. The week’s biggest no-nos? Making assumptions or jumping to conclusions. PISCES: April’s emphasis in your house of income and profits paints a promising economic picture, so look for ways to improve your financial status. While cash could start flowing in this week, it might flow out even faster during Thursday/Friday’s Pisces Moon.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Four year old Thorin Thorinsson, Iceland’s newest grandmaster, currently placing third in the national championship in Reykjavic.

Hollywood’s Varuzhan Akobian won the O2C Doeberl Cup in Woden over the Easter weekend, finishing ahead of the largest and strongest field ever assembled in the event’s 46 year history. However Akobian’s path to victory in Australia’s premier Grand Prix tournament was far from smooth, including a controversial last round game which left Akobian’s opponent threatening to appeal the result with the world body FIDE.

together five consecutive wins, his victims including grandmasters Darryl Johansen and S S Ganguly. Two draws by the American grandmaster followed, enabling Serbian GM Dejan Antic to pull level going into the final round, with their head-to-head encounter deciding the destination of the $4,000 first prize. At first Akobian and Antic appeared content to play out a draw and share first place when they began repeating moves early in the game. Antic, playing Black, claimed a draw by repetition but this time the arbiter stepped in and told the players to continue the game. (Tournament rules stated that draws in fewer than 30 moves

MERCURY JOINING THE SUN, VENUS AND NEW MOON IN ARIES MAKES THIS WEEK ONE OF THE YEAR’S HOTTEST FOR SUDDEN RADICAL SHIFTS OF MIND, HEART OR LIFE DIRECTION – WHEN OLD WAYS OF FUNCTIONING NO LONGER SATISFY AND NEW BEGINNINGS APPEAL…

GEMINI: April’s star cards feature even more group interacting than usual, with ideas flying and travel likely. This week’s great for judicious schmoozing but take extra care not to step on anyone’s toes – the present astral weather’s both hot headed and quick tempered.

You’ll do your best thinking solo, though that won’t for a moment rule out plenty of ensemble hanky panky…

WAVE is back!!

After deciding to change the performance dates to May in preference to October, because of clashes with the HSC, Shearwater’s Wearable Arts Production is racing enthusiastically down the track towards another spectacular production. Costumes are beginning to fill up every bit of available space, and rehearsals span the afternoons. Hundreds of participants are engaged in set making, prop building, as models, performers, costume entrants and musicians. The storyline this year is based on the journey of Christian Rosencreutz and, with a feminine theme, is centred around a journeywoman. Students from Shearwater are involved on every level, from costume making, audio visuals, performing as musicians, dancers, actors or models, building the stage, designing lights as well as stage management of the different sections. There are 7 possible entry sections; The Garden of Earthly Delights, Crossroads & Crosscultures, Queen of the Night, Icon, Alchemia, Wings and The Chymical Wedding. If you are a designer, an artist, or just enjoy transforming unidentified objects into something incredible, then let your mind wander over these themes, grab an entry form, if you have not already done so for more information of the section themes, and come up with your own unique costume! The costume entry date has changed to the April1 so there is still time to enter a costume. Tickets will be on sale from 1 April at Shearwater. For enquiries or a brochure call the school – 6684 3223. Performance dates Wednesday May 7 (student performance) to Saturday May 10.

CINEMA THERE WILL BE BLOOD The Gothic font of the introductory title gives some indication of what to expect from this riveting and frequently cruel tale. As does the use of the future tense, loaded as it is with malignant portent that is not fully realised until the final devastating scene. Daniel Plainview, a misanthropic, driven man, is thriving in the lion’s den of entrepreneurial, turn of the century California and making a fortune from its nascent oil industry. The opening sequence, in which he stakes his claim and establishes his business, in 1902, is notable for how long it runs without a word of dialogue. It is a masterly example of film’s power as a purely visual medium, for at no time are you unaware of what is happening in the narrative. A goodly number of minutes later it is 1911 and Plainview, now accompanied by HW, his motherless

young son, is introducing himself to a crowded room of landholders who would call on his expertise to exploit the oil on their properties. He does not suffer fools lightly, nor is he of a temperament to let anything stand in his way and, classically, he is also his own worst enemy. Finding nothing in his fellow humans to be enamoured with, he is content in his uncompromising, mercenary world. But the veneer of that world is cracked when HW is harmed at a well explosion. A moment of breathtaking cinematography, the incident is made even more memorable by the percussive music accompanying it, Jonny Greenwood’s striking score constantly widening the psychological vista. It is this accident which precipitates Plainview’s steady decline. As Plainview, who is as easily despised as admired, Daniel Day Lewis delivers a towering performance – his

inebriated confession that he ‘wants nobody else to succeed’ is perhaps the most affronting line in a screenplay which, enhanced by Day Lewis’s consummate skill, somehow manages to eke out bitter sympathy for its amoral subject. Paul Dano is wonderfully creepy as schizoid Eli Sunday, the self-anointed prophet of the Church of the Third Revelation, with whom Plainview is at loggerheads throughout. Their enmity and willingness to exploit the other represents baldly the pillars of God and Mammon upon which the Great Republic was built and still thrives. It gets a bit surreal as Plainview finally topples into drunken, lunatic savagery, and it demands a lot of its audience, but movies don’t get much better than this. ~ John Campbell

ST. TRINIAN’S The past is not only another country, as Colin Firth says to Rupert Everett, referring with matey indulgence to the 1984 film they made together, but it is a thing which should be handled with the utmost care by revivalists. The unruly girls of St. Trinian’s first appeared on screen over fifty years ago and, though not exactly high art, the movies featuring them were much loved for their brashness (and Alastair Sim’s cross dressing). So you wouldn’t want to see their legacy mucked up and, despite reports of this effort’s dismal failure, it is true to its source and does a decent job of balancing reverence with the need to be contemporary. Today’s students get up to similar mischief and are nearly all outrageously raunchy (and who would quibble FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED EVERY WEDNESDAY ALL SEATS ALL SESSIONS $8 ONLY

with that?) but, unlike their predecessors, none of them smoke. This must have presented the makers with a serious problem. St. Trinian’s girls puffed on fags here, there and everywhere, the ciggie being the symbol of what made them naughty. Political correctness and social conscience have decreed that verboten, meaning that there is unavoidably a watering down of the bad girl image. It would have been a tough call, but taking the responsible approach was a laudable one which proves to have had no lasting ill effects. Also pleasing is the subtle promotion of the iconoclastic idea that smart is sexy. Things get off to a shaky start, however, with a bagful of lame and overused gags – indeed, there are not one but two fart jokes called upon. The school is threatened with bankruptcy, so the pupils get together and plan a heist to ensure that this doesn’t happen. It is at this point, when the ingenious strategy is devised to steal Vermeer’s Girl With A Pearl Earring from the National Gallery, that the story comes to life and events get a rollicking move on. The ground trod may be familiar, but it is done enthusiastically and with tongue firmly implanted in cheek as everybody, quite obviously, is having a whale of a time. Teenagers are undoubtedly the target audience, but women of a certain age (and men, too, if they’re game) who fondly recollect the originals will find much to cheer them. It is decidedly silly, but uproariously so, culminating in a crescendo of highpitched song and dance as the girls close it down like a house on fire. ~ John Campbell

CATERERS

Victoria Cosford I jerk open my utensils kitchen drawer. If I do not jerk it at a certain angle it simply will not open, its cacophonous chaos of culinary miscellany causing obstructions of the worst possible kind, and the likelihood of being stabbed by a skewer or pinched by a set of tongs. Even once it’s open there’s an element of risk and adventure as I start to hunt for a speciďŹ c item. Extraordinary the way it is precisely the implement you seek which most eludes you – although after considerable crashing around (and in the process rediscovering gingerbread men moulds, sugar thermometers and poached egg rings) there it eventually is. I wonder if most households have kitchen utensil drawers like this; I suspect mine is not exceptional. Periodically, after blaspheming my way toward recovery of an item, I decide to cull ruthlessly, if not dispose of totally – I have visions of effortlessly, serenely sliding open an ordered recess where an austere arrangement of essential implements is draped on a tasteful drawer-liner. But realise immediately that nearly everything in the drawer I am unable to live without – and that there are certain objects I absolutely love. You do not necessarily have to be passionate about food and cooking to have a favourite kitchen utensil; most people will happily admit to one or two speciďŹ c ones whose value may owe more to sentiment than to pragmatism. We hang on to the funniest things – as I discovered when I did a little ring-around, as it were, among my colleagues in order to ďŹ nd out what other people regarded as their favourites. I’ve always known that Julie cannot cook – she’s one of those people who are simply not interested – and so it came as no surprise when her answer was a wine-sealer. Which was roughly equivalent to The Echo photographer’s nomination of a bottle opener – although these screw-top days this is surely a kitchen item hurtling toward obsolescence. Mungo MacCallum emails me that ‘even after thirty- odd years of using it, I can’t go past the slow cooker, previously known as the crockpot.

Fill it, turn it on and six hours later come back to a great meal...’ – while John Campbell sends me three images of his favourite things. All from exotic locations and presumably all with colourful stories attached, they consist of a marble mortar (pestle gone) from Athens; a wooden egg rack in the shape of a hen, from ‘London’s fabulous Biba’; and a Samos coffee maker and hand-painted cup and saucer from Nicosia. Eve sends me an image as well, of a sesame seed grinder – what every home needs – which she procured from an old Japanese woman who was returning home on holiday. ‘Apparently,’ Eve tells me, ‘the goodness of the seeds passes through you if they are not ground.’ Wendy Lovejoy loves her metal triangular jar opener. She has it ‘unobtrusively attached to the underside of an overhead cupboard’ in her kitchen; she inherited it from her father, and claims that ‘it opens every jar in the known universe, thus saving weak wrists from twisting off...’ Angela swears by her mezzaluna; Pete by his wok; Kelly by her rolling pin. Carmel, who like Julie prefers cooking to be done by someone else, proposes her cocktail shaker and pizza cutter – the hastily added ‘measuring cups’ are, I feel sure, an afterthought designed to make her atteringly appear less the party girl. My hairdresser loves his Vietnamese slicer in the shape of a gum leaf; Jann Gilbert her 15-year old German peeler. A peeler is the utensil of choice for my partner too, who cites the endless possibilities of things you may peel. I wanted to sound out chefs, and in fact started with Mandy from the Twisted Sista cafe, who told me, unhesitatingly, that she could not live without her Bamix. But when Michaela at cafe one one one mentioned the word ‘microplane’ I realised that professional kitchens are a rareďŹ ed, exulted experience to which most of us merer mortals cannot relate. Some chef would eventually have said a mandoline and my eyes would glaze over. (I, personally, go wild for whisks.)

I have never developed indigestion from eating my words. ~ Sir Winston Churchill

GOLD COAST COFFEE FESTIVAL

Local growers and producers of coffee and tea will not have to travel as far away as Sydney or Melbourne in order to showcase their products, with a coffee festival planned to run on the Gold Coast over the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June. The inaugural ‘The Coffee Festival, Gold Coast’ will see a convergence of coffee, chocolate, tea and spice producers from Queensland and the northern NSW region in what promises to be both a trade exhibition and a family-friendly day for stallholders and visitors to enjoy workshops, entertainment and kids’ activities throughout the day. Attendees will be able to taste and buy the products on show, learn how to make the perfect espresso, discover the secrets of working with chocolate and experience a Japanese tea ceremony. The festival will be held on Sunday June 8 from 10am to 5pm at Appel & Lionel Perry Parks, Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise, and entry is free.

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

results@echo.net.au

News from the North Coast Academy of Sport NCAS netball The North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) Netball squad for 2007-08 launched its training program on Sunday at Lismore. The initial selection trials for the squad took place soon after the end of the winter netball season last year but the on-season program was launched on the weekend to coincide with the club netball season. The main squad of eighteen players and the six reserves, range in age from 15 to 18 years and includes girls from all over the north coast as far south as Port Macquarie right up to New Brighton, the home of local squad member Karly Moir. The first training session took place at Southern Cross University in Lismore where each athlete underwent a series of netball fitness tests, and was given an overview of the program as well as being introduced to fellow squad members and staff. The squad which meets monthly up until October, take part in a series of training days and camps at Lismore, Grafton, Lennox Head and Coffs Harbour which will progressively boost their skills and fitness. ‘It ís a great opportunity,’ says Karly, who is in year 11 at Mullumbimby High school. ‘In the local clubs and rep netball you get great coaching and at the NCAS you experience different points of view from a variety

of coaches teaching different methods, so overall it gives me a more rounded training.’ This is the second year that Karly has been selected for the squad and she hopes to one day play for the state and the country. As part of the squad, Karly will also attend representative tours including the NIB Games in Newcastle in July, and for higher achieving squad members, the Academy Games in Armidale in October. NCAS is a non-profit, community-based organisation that is supported by its foundation sponsors, NSW Sport & Recreation and Southern Cross University. To this end, Kempsey Macleay RSL Club, has naming rights as sponsor of NCAS netball. The club has greatly assisted in reducing the athlete fees associated with delivering the program, especially with the increased commitments and costs associated with travelling to higher level events outside the region. The club’s sponsorship falls in line with NSW government’s community development support expenditure guidelines, as it supports talented young people obtain higher level coaching, as well as being provided with an athlete education plan which includes sports medicine, time management, drugs awareness and public speaking. Staff of the program include head coach Mau-

reen Clarke from Lennox Head, assistant coaches Leslie Kirk from Ocean Shores and Shirley Donovan from Lismore. Thanks to the support of NSW Sport and Recreation and Netball NSW, a new umpire mentor scheme has been added to the program which will see two umpires selected from within the region to assist the athletes

obtain a greater understanding of the rules of the game. Additionally, the umpires will assist with umpiring selection trials, squad practise games and inter-academy games while on tour. For their efforts, the umpires will receive umpire development courses at no charge as well as being supported by umpire mentors nominated by Netball NSW.

The North Coast Academy of Sport is seeking junior lawn bowlers to apply for its upcoming 2008-09 Lawn Bowling program. Having gained endorsement from NCAS in 2001, the lawn bowls program is now recognised as a vital stepping stone in the development of talented junior players from regional to state levels. The program’s current success story recently is Matt Miles who gained NSW state selection in 2007 and played at the Australian championships, as well as representing Australia in a Trans Tasman tournament late last year. Sponsorship from Clubs NSW member, Park Beach Bowling Club in recent years, coupled with last year’s endorsement and financial support from Royal NSW Bowls Association, has allowed the program to review its operations so that it now falls in line with the new Bowls Australia pathways and coaching structure for regional academies. To be eligible to trial, athletes must be preferably aged 12 to 18 years, and be active members of a bowls club within the NCAS catchment area which covers Zone 1 and 14. A recent history of performances at club, district and zone level will also be strongly favoured but depending on age, gender and experience, is not essential.

Junior female players are especially encouraged to apply for selection. This year’s process for selection is different to past years in that applications will be pre-screened by a selection committee, with only those athletes who are considered as having potential for their age, gender and playing experience being invited to attend a development and selection on Sunday 4 May. A selection committee made up of NCAS coaches and RNSWBA delegates will then use a scorecard system to assess each player’s skill levels, technique and tactical application to the various drills that are presented throughout the day. A squad of up to 24 will be selected. Once selected, squad members will come together for a series of training days and camps between May and November. Thanks to a recent sport development grant from NSW Sport and Recreation, NCAS lawn bowls coaches will also receive a boost through an intensive one day workshop with an elite coach who will travel to the region to brush up on skills on the latest coaching techniques for junior bowlers. Application forms can be downloaded from NCAS webpage. Applications close on Friday 18 April. For an application or more information about NCAS visit www.ncas.org.au

Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery

The Devils we don’t know

Little Devils – Under 18 Byron Bay lads Josh Rafton, Luke McMahon and Seb Brady at Red Devil Park on Sunday, hanging around after their team’s training session to cheer on the seniors in the pre-season trial against Grafton. Photo Tree Faerie.

John Campbell The Byron Bay Red Devils will kick off the 2008 NRRRL season on April 13 with a testing away game against Lismore Marist Brothers. New coach Nathan Cross is confident of a good showing, but the Under 18s are, at this point, struggling to field a side. It is a perennial problem for any beachside town, especially when the surf is up. The Devilís Club Secretary, Luke McMahon is concerned that the solid

progress made by last year’s juniors under Nathan’s guidance will come to nought if more youngsters do not sign on in the next week. ‘We’ll have a competitive squad,’ he says, ‘If only we can find those extra guys out there willing to lace up the boots.’ League is a demanding game, but it’s rewards are manifest. All can benefit from the camaraderie of participating in team sport and the forging of charac-

ter, others might even discover a career path. Tyro forward Alex Butschies is an example to such hopefuls, having represented the state at Under 17 level last year and earning a contract with the Cronulla Sharks. ‘The talent is out there and our club provides an ideal environment for nurturing it,’ Luke added. Training is at 7 pm, on both Tuesdays and Thursdays at Red Devil Park on Broken Head Road.

Sailing on ‘whatever…’ The Northbridge Senior 14 (NS14), was designed in 1960 by a group of senior members of Northbridge Sailing Club, Sydney. They wanted a high performance class boat which would not demand abnormal strength or acrobatics from its crew. It has a simple rig, is light enough to be lifted from a trailer into the water by 3 persons of average strength, requires no olympic skills to sail, and is affordable for the private sailor. Local sailor Duncan Dey spent Easter splashing about in Botany Bay when he competed in the NS14 NSW State Tiltes 2008. There were six races over the 4 days of Easter and five of those races sailed count toward the final result with each boat dropping their worst race result. This helped Duncan and his boat “whatever...”. Duncan of Main Arm and Georgie Mitchell of Alstonville were able to ‘drop’ their 33rd place in heat 4 for an overall 12th place. Having set their goal to achieve a place better than 20th in the series, Duncan and Georgie were very content to finish 18th in the first race which was sailed in about 15 knots from the Sou’east. Heats 2 and 3 were sailed

in almost as much breeze, at full stretch all the way round the course. Georgie used her body-surfing skills to get “whatever...” planing

The next NS14 event is the Queensland States titled at Mooloolaba over the Anzac Day long-weekend in April.

Hucking-up chucked The Australian Ethics in Sport Association has announced that after several months deliberation they will be going ahead with plans to ban spitting on sports fields. The problem first came to the attention of the Association when sports ethics watchdog Lawrence Morriegh sent in a proposal for the ban after several players at a Sydney rugby league

match were seen losing their footing, after a serious bout of influenza ravaged players in 2007. ‘It’s not something that we usually like to talk about,’ said Mr Morreigh, ‘but it is becoming a problem of huge proportion.The flu last July saw most of the players who took the field spitting in all directions and by half time it became apparent that we would have to call in sawdust.’ The governing body of sports ethics will enforce the ban to the tune of a $1000 fine and up to a three match suspension for repeat offenders. ‘Look we all know what happens in the huddle stays in the huddle,’ said Lawrence. ‘Some may think the huddle is for coaching purposes, and most team managers would have us believe that, but we all know what goes on in there. Do they think we can’t see the colour of dead huddle grass? While it remains hidden we will ignore the situation but the spitting has to stop.’ Professional and amateur clubs across the country will impose the ban from today, April 1st. Mr Morreigh said, ‘It would be foolish for any player not to take note of this auspicious date.’

sport is pretty easy to get into and is suitable for people of all levels of fitness. ‘Basically, the equipment is like a see-saw, a wooden plank on a metal cylinder. On one end you place a ten kilogram cube timber weight and a player jumps onto the

Where? She has been searching high and low for two weeks. Can you help? Perhaps some time traveller abandoned it in your street? If you have information ring Annie on 6684 6126. She will be ever so grateful. It is a blue Malvern Star. ■ ■ ■ ■ Byron Shire Councillors were bunkered down last week choosing their new General Manager. All we know from the secret meeting minutes is that the successful applicant is male. However The Echo understands that among the applicants was Elsa Nabors, daughter of Jim Nabors, the actor who starred in the TV series Gomer Pyle, now a high-powered bureaucrat in federal government. ■ ■ ■ ■ Bananas Galore is the latest short video clip on www. seedsavers.net. The clip was filmed in Kerala India, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea highlands, and the Solomon Islands. You might want to also check out the Svalbard Global Seed Vault at www. seedvault.no, which aims to preserve seed diversity in a vault in the the Arctic – kind of handy during the apocalypse. ■ ■ ■ ■ We’re exhausted just reading about it: on Tuesday March

25 over one million children across 164 countries participated in World Maths Day. The event also saw an Australian claim the title of world mathlete champion. Melbourne’s Tatiana Devendreneth, 15, answered a remarkable 65,199 questions during the 24-hour event, beating the other 1,099,127 participants to secure the accolade. See more at www. worldmathsday.com. ■ ■ ■ ■ Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi has got the numbers for a parliamentary inquiry into swearing on TV after being offended by British chef Gordon Ramsay using the F word 80 times in one episode of his show – it’s a wonder he had time to cook. The good senator is also offended by the language in Big Brother, The Sopranos and Sex And The City. We’d suggest the Senate has more important things to do than worrying about ferking swearing on the forking TV after eight fekkin thirty at night – most adults can use the remote if they’re forking offended – and in any case the fikkin F word loses its fugging potency if it’s totally friggin laboured upon. ■ ■ ■ ■ Crossword addicts should have had no problem completing Mungo’s offering last week since we managed to run the previous week’s crossword again. D’oh! This week we hope to bring you an all new challenge. ■ ■ ■ ■ Just in case you’re thinking of dosing the cat with the dog’s flea treatment, don’t. There has been a recent outbreak of poisonings caused by the use of dog flea products on pet cats. Spot-on flea products containing permethrin affect the cat’s nerves and they can die without treatment.
