Prices soar on fragile coast Lesley Patterson

Belongil has pushed Watego’s off the real estate podium, after a Childe Street property sold recently for $8 million. Watego’s had held Byron Bay’s top real estate record since 2004 when the Watermark bed and breakfast sold for $5.3 million. What is puzzling about the sale is why real estate prices are soaring in an area known to be under threat from coastal erosion. Newcomers to the Bay might not know that only 30 years ago there was another road at Belongil. Up until the late 1970s The Esplanade ran alongside the ocean, parallel with Childe Street. From 1956 to 1976 the north coast was affected by 17 cyclones. Together with sandmining on the beach at Belongil, the ocean ďŹ nally claimed the Esplanade in the 1970s. Over the past thirty odd years, Byron Shire has enjoyed a period of relatively gentle seas. Memories have faded about the ocean’s ferocious appetite and warnings about future erosion scenarios can seem overly alarmist. Since the 1980s Byron Shire Council has been warning of the

dangers of living in an erosion zone and has attempted to limit the scale of development. The photograph of the Belongil neighbourhood below shows how far inland Council believes the ocean could move if weather patterns return to those experienced in the 1950s and 1970s. The majority of properties at Belongil lie in the zone identiďŹ ed as at immediate risk of erosion, represented by the line closest to the ocean.The second line demonstrates where the the erosion escarpment could lie in 100 years time. Yet property values in the area do not reect this risk. As recently as last November advertisements appeared in the Sydney press for beachside apartments at Belongil priced at $850,000. Ironically the ad boasted that the development was only 100 metres from the waves of Belongil Beach. A recently released document on climate change* crossed my desk last week, depressing me with the chilling fact that ‘in many cases the risks are more serious than previously thought’. It goes on to warn *Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change by Britain’s Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs.

that ‘Many climate impacts, particularly the most damaging ones, will be associated with an increased frequency or intensity of extreme events’. In calculating the effect of extreme storm events in Byron Shire, Council took into account in predicted rises in sea levels. International forecasts put the level of global mean sea level rise during this century to be anywhere from 9-88cm. Council has used an average ďŹ gure of 50cm, however Mayor Jan Barham believes it would be more responsible to use the worse case scenario ďŹ gure of 88cm in developing planning guidelines. ‘To use averages is a awed process.When planning for ood we’ve been directed [by the state government] to use the 1 in 100 year ood levels, not averages. My concern is that recent evidence shows that the situation could be worse than previously thought. We have a duty of care to residents and should be looking at the worst case scenario,’ said Cr Barham. All purchasers of properties in erosion risk areas are warned of the continued on page 2

Three years ago a French Canadian percussionist from Cirque du Soleil found her way into a littleknown back street of Mullumbimby. She was looking for drum makers Veet and Paula Mayo who specialise in turning local timbers into musical instruments. They showed her their usual range of 34cm wide drums but her eye fell on a huge log of camphor, cut from a property at Hayter’s Hill, which had been lying out the back of Veet’s workshop. After three years of work the 100

centimetre wide mammoth drum consisting of 72 individual pieces of wood will y off to Canada this week hopefully in time for Cirque du Soleil’s next performance. Mama Drum, as she is called, caused Veet some headaches during the long manufacturing process. It started with ďŹ nding a funnel web spider in the crutch of the tree, and was followed by the shattering discovery that the wood needed to air dry for a year before any work could begin. continued on page 4

If you’ve been inspired by the Commonwealth Games athletics trials but feel that you’re just a tad outside the qualifying time, there is an alternative activity which is not only far more suitable for your level of ďŹ tness but will also give you the satisfaction of raising money for a worthwhile cause. ‘Relay for Life’ is a Cancer Council initiative which provides hours of fun for people of all ages and levels of ďŹ tness. An overnight team event to raise funds for cancer research, education and patient support programs, the challenge is for teams of 10 or more people to complete a relay style walk or run at selected venues throughout Australia. Team members take turns to keep their baton moving overnight,

enjoying the sensational festive atmosphere created through entertainment, camping, prizes and the vibrancy of hundreds of lively people on the track. The relay kicks off at 3pm with one lap of the track for survivors and carers before everyone else is invited to join in. There will also be a particularly moving dusk ceremony when everyone is invited to light a tea light, put it into a paper bag ďŹ lled with sand and line the track with the candles. There will then be a ‘lap of hope’ for all those who want to participate. Locally, the Bangalow NSW Fire Brigade have led the way as the ďŹ rst team to register for the Bangalow/ Byron Shire Relay for Life to be continued on page 2 3H OWRO O M #EN TEN N IAL # T " YRO N !R TS ) N D U STR IAL %STAT E P F

threat before they buy as Council notiďŹ es solicitors at the time of purchase through the standard 149 certiďŹ cates. As Jan Barham says, it is a case of ‘buyer beware’ as Council has been ‘above board’ about the risks since the late 1980s. ‘If people who have a lot of money are willing to take a known risk then good luck to them. They may sit there and enjoy that location, but they are also at risk,’ she says. Controls over new developments at Belongil have attempted to limit residential development in favour of tourist accommodation, which Council argues will create less disruption if the sea breaks through. Property developers it seems are still prepared to wear that risk, as demonstrated by a current development application for the former Epicentre site.

Under the yet to be approved plan, 54 demountable buildings will be constructed, all of which must be removable. As with all new buildings in the Belongil area, if the erosion escarpment reaches within 20 metres, the owners must pack the demountable onto a truck and move it out of the danger zone. During the last few months many old timers have described the change in the weather as reminiscent of the wet and wild periods of the 1970s. A few have predicted severe storm events, even cyclones. For everyone’s sake let’s hope they’re wrong.

Pipes pose problem for river health Lesley Patterson The price ticket for Mullumbimby’s new sewage treatment plant could be well over $15 million, yet when it is complete raw sewage will still end up in the Brunswick River after heavy rain. The source of the problem is the antiquated system of pipes which are plagued by cracks and leaks throughout the older parts of the town. When we get a downpour, huge amounts of rainwater pour into the pipes throwing the sewage system into chaos. It is not unusual to get ten or twenty times the normal amount of liquid flowing through the pipes during heavy rain. Diluted raw sewage then backs up in the pipes and ows out into the Brunswick River in the older part of town at Mill Street. River lovers, such as Duncan Dey and Garry Scott, have been community members on Council’s committee advising on sewage treatment around the Brunswick (Brunswick Wastewater Steering Committee). Concerned about the effect on the river’s health by these periodic overows they have been pushing for an overhaul of Mullumbimby’s decrepit sewerage pipes. ‘It has been a concern of the community for more than ten years and on the agenda of monthly meetings of the committee for over two years,’ says Duncan Dey. During the heavy rains in January, Duncan Dey says the overow at Mill Street was ‘running a bumper’ and items such as undigested food and tampons could be clearly seen. Phil Warner, Byron Shire Council’s Director of Water and Recycling Management Services, admits the problem

is not one that can be easily ďŹ xed. ‘Council has been doing work identifying defects using closed circuit television and we have been digging up and replacing sections of pipe. Extensive works have been done to date but it is an ongoing program. It’s a big job,’ said Mr Warner. Around $100,000 a year has been set aside to ďŹ x the leaks, but to date work crews have only concentrated on the section of the sewer which is owned by Council. Half of the network of pipes are on private property and according to Mr Warner are the responsibility of private land owners. He says Council and the community will need to make the decision whether to pay for repairs to ‘privately owned pipes’ to fully ďŹ x the problem. Duncan Dey and several other committee members have called on the Department of Environment and Conservation (formerly the EPA) to force Council to ďŹ x

the overows of raw sewage into the Brunswick. The Department has the power to enforce Council to introduce a Pollution Reduction Program, and the community members on the committee are asking that Council monitors and reports on the volume of all overflows and analyses the effect of repairs to the pipe system. Phil Warner says that Council has recently installed the equipment to monitor the amount of diluted raw sewage being

discharged and assess how long it continues to ow into the river after rain. One of the few beneďŹ ts of the drought over the past few years is that heavy rainfall events were rare, however during the past eight months Byron Shire has been hit twice by particularly heavy deluges. Unless substantially more money is invested in speeding up the pipe repair process, Mullumbimby’s sewage will be owing into the river after rain for some time to come.

Sea Shepherd visit Tim Midgley, the International Director for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society currently on an Australian tour, will speak at the Byron Community Centre on February at 6pm, entry by gold coin donation. Mr Midgley will talk about the Sea Shepherd’s activities around the world and especially the recent actions by the Sea Shepherds in the Antarctic waters trying to stop the Japanese killing the whales. Footage of these actions will be shown along with previous protest footage.

A local Sea Shepherd branch will be established, and volunteers are needed. Dean Jefferys from Byron Whale Action Group will talk about a planned action for February 15 in Brisbane against Japanese interests and encourage people to come and be involved in the action. A hired bus is planned to drive to the Brisbane protest from Railway Park early Wednesday morning. For more information see www.worldpeacenow.org. au and www.seashepherd. org.

O’Neill, fresh off the bus and in between checking in at Byron at Byron, chatted briey to The Echo about this region and the impact of tourism. ‘This is a great opportunity for Tourism NSW to meet with local operators and get ďŹ rst hand knowledge of future opportunities for the Northern Rivers area,’ O’Neill said. When pressed about the impact of tourism at the expense of community, they responded that their role is to offer marketing and communication assistance to communities, not to preach or give advice. ‘Each community is unique, although we are all part of a global tourism economy,’ Newman said. Newman said he has seen examples of companies that try to limit growth and they invariably fail as all societies

and businesses need to expand. ‘Limiting the supply of housing etc makes it harder for people to work and live here. If you ration the supply, the price will increase. It’s economics 101.’ Mayor Jan Barham argues that growth can actually be managed, ‘Though it is hard

to control the numbers of day visitors,’ she told The Echo. ‘Council will be working with Tourism NSW for the ďŹ rst time and we will be looking at ways of marketing to those who appreciate the unique beauty of this area.We hope to highlight the positive aspects of the Shire.’

Luckily the delivery date had been left open, although the pair never imagined it would take three years to complete the job. Veet’s lathe needed modifying before the drum could be turned and Paula says she has restrung the cow skin top half a dozen times. At the last minute when the instrument was finished, complete with four hand car ved banksia shoes trimmed with goatskin,Veet’s keen eye picked up a small dip in the rim.

Veet is a man who brims with optimism and set about thinking how the potentially fatal aw could be ďŹ xed. ‘For tunately a boat builder walked into our lives just at the right moment and taught me how to use ďŹ breglass, which really was the only way to ďŹ x it,’ he said. Mama Drum had a dry run at last year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations in Byron Bay and Veet and Paula hope will be the ďŹ rst in a series of many large drums.

before getting into the bodypiercing business she did photographic modelling and voiceovers for national advertising campaigns. She believes that for many people, body-piercing is much more than a simple fashion statement. ‘People get piercings for all sorts of reasons,’ she says. ‘For some, a piercing can mark an important moment in their life and it can be very personal. The best part of piercing is seeing people leave the studio feeling good about themselves and their bodies.’ And what is the strangest piercing that Monica has ever done? ‘Well, I recently pierced meat hooks into the back of The Space Cowboy during one of his shows at the Byron Community Centre, and then swung him around, suspended from them. That was pretty full-on!’ Creative Tattoo Art piercing studio is open 10am-5pm Wednesday to Monday. Photo Jeff Dawson

TAFE offers 3D animation course

Northern Rivers Tourism and Aspect North have developed a new regional map. The map stretches from Coffs Harbour in the south to Stanthorpe in the west and up to Toowoomba and Brisbane in the north. ‘We had been trying to source a good map that covered all areas we needed including entry points into the region as well as World Heritage National Parks and visitors centres,’ said Holly Galbraith of Northern Rivers Tourism. ‘We couldn’t ďŹ nd anything of quality so decided to develop our own map.’

Distrust a bitter pill for Abbott Vol 20 #38

February 14, 2006

A healthy old age? Baby boomers really are taking over the north coast. People aged 45 and older currently make up nearly half of all residents and in another five years will push past the 50% mark. Today’s 50 year-old is predicted to live at least until their 80s. A research study launched last week aims to find out what we can do to delay the onset of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease and enjoy the golden years in good health. While the study, 45 and Up, is intended to be ongoing for around 20 years, early results will be available by the second half of this year. Around 250,000 participants aged 45 and over will be asked to answer questions about their weight, diet, exercise regime, smoking and drinking habits, family background and mental wellbeing. Vahid Saberi, the North Coast Area Health Service’s Director of Population Health, Planning and Performance, acknowledged that environmental and lifestyle issues are already accepted as crucial factors in the onset of diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. ‘We know that with a lot of risk factors the environment is a significant contributor. We need to pinpoint exactly what in the environment is important and which ones are clear risk factors,’ he explained. ‘By following people over time and checking their health status we will be able to draw conclusions which will point us in a certain direction. We should be able to learn which factors are associated with good health. The sample size of the study is important, 250,000 gives us a very high level of confidence in the data.’ As well as delaying the onset of disease, health professionals will be able to plan to better manage diseases and develop prevention and treatment programs. ‘This is the biggest collaborative research effort ever undertaken in the Australian health field. The beneficiaries will be those who participate in the study as well as the whole community, both now and into the future,’ Professor Saberi said. Around 200,000 NSW residents have already been mailed with questionnaires and invitations to participate in the 45 and Up Study, however residents can volunteer by calling 1300 451 145 or through a link at www.45andup.org.au. Participants are able to withdraw from the study at any time. ‘Simply by sharing information about their health and lifestyle, participants are contributing to the wellbeing of society, and we would appreciate widespread support for the study,’ said Professor Saberi. The north coast has the state’s highest proportion of people aged 65 years and over, and the fastest growth rate in this age group. The 65-plus demographic is predicted to rise from the present 18 per cent of the total population to 21 per cent by 2011. As well as the impact on health services, there is a message here for local government. It will have to plan to meet the needs of the growing population without neglecting other interest groups. The social issues, too, could be immense; the more the young, the middleaged and the old can meet to find common ground the better the outcome in the next decade.

ealth Minister Tony Abbott laments that last week’s senate vote on the drug RU 486 was actually a vote of no confidence in himself and the parliament, and in spite of John Howard’s comforting assurances to the contrary, Abbott is half right. The senators, or at least a sizable majority of them, made it clear that they were only too happy to have the rare opportunity of asserting the parliament over the executive; in other words, they had perfect confidence in the parliament, but they don’t trust Abbott on RU 486. This is a conclusion born not out of anti-Catholic bigotry, as the more excitable conservative God-botherers are trying to spin it, but out of bitter experience. It will be recalled that when the RU 486 controversy re-emerged a couple of months ago, Abbott produced a medical report which, he claimed, stated that the drug was unsafe for use by women in country areas. In fact it said no such thing, as the authors of the report were forced to point out; what it did say was that RU 486, like any other drug with possible side-effects, should only be used under medical supervision, as it already is in most western countries. From a purely pharmaceutical point of view, there is nothing special about it. Abbott told a thundering lie, presumably in an attempt to use science to back up his own religious-based prejudices. Why on earth would you trust him again on RU 486, or on anything else, for that matter? But having said that, it must be admitted that Abbott had plenty of friends, both inside and outside the senate. As Howard himself has rather belatedly pointed out, the debate on RU 486 is not – or

at least should not be – yet another reprise of the old arguments about abortion. Even Abbott acknowledges that he and his supporters have lost that fight: abortion is legal in all states and this fact is accepted by the commonwealth through its inclusion in the Medicare benefits table. But of course the hard core Right-to-Lifers have never accepted this, and never will; many of the senate speeches last week harked straight back to the 1970s. Thus we had Barnaby Joyce extolling the sanctity of human life, and Bill Heffernan ranting

other form of pregnancy termination. (To be fair, two pro-choice senators – George Brandis and Stephen Conroy – did join the opposition to the bill, but they did so on the grounds that RU 486, unlike other drugs, needed special ministerial supervision. This may have been illogical, but at least it was not hypocritical). And of course, if any further proof were needed that the debate was only peripherally about health, note the way the vote split. All but three of the women voted for it, and all the Catholics and most of the

This touching concern for women’s health issues would have been more convincing if it had extended to say, breast cancer, or other genuine risks… by Mungo MacCallum that the senate had become a killing field. The smarter ones, however, tried at least superficially to come back to the health issues. Thus we had an outpouring of grief and mourning not for the foetuses but for their mothers – the very women who on other occasions are condemned as murderers. There were terrible, unnameable risks associated with RU 486, cried the doomsayers: women would die, screamed a full page (anonymous) newspaper advertisement. This touching concern for women’s health issues would have been more convincing if it had extended to say, breast cancer, or any of the other genuine risks to women’s health, or if any of those shrilling the warnings did not take exactly the same line about surgical abortion, the morning after pill or any

other heavy-duty Christians voted against it. Surely these statistics alone make an unanswerable case for the evaluation of RU 486 and every other drug to be taken out of the hands of ideological, votewary politicians and left with impartial scientists.

ustralians are rightly bemused and appalled by the orchestrated rage being displayed by extreme Muslims following the publication of some caricatures of the prophet Muhammad. But before we become too self-righteous, let us note a recent and worrying upsurge of jingoism around one of our own sacred symbols – the Australian flag. During the Cronulla riots, a youth (of Middle-Eastern appearance, naturally) ripped down the flag at the local RSL and set fire to it. In spite of the fact that he pleaded

guilty and made humble and profuse apologies the indignant magistrate gave him three months in the slammer – a severe sentence, considering that some of those convicted of serious assaults get off on bonds. Then in Melbourne a partially burned Australian flag displayed outside an art gallery under the caption ‘Proudly Unaustralian’ was seized by the police on the grounds that it was offensive, although there appears to be no legal justification for the confiscation. And now the inevitable Bronwyn Bishop is to introduce a private members bill in the senate calling for flagburning to be made a criminal offence. Howard, sensibly, says he will have none of it, so at least this vestige of free speech should survive. Similarly, the fact that some sensitivities are offended by the Mohammed cartoons is not a sufficient reason for suppressing them in a free and secular society. Nor, of course, is it a sufficient reason for publishing them: this would depend on their merit, artistic and intellectual. Some years ago Muslims and Catholics joined forces at a United Nations conference to vote down a family planning campaign. Feminists were outraged and Australia’s Patrick Cook responded with a cartoon showing two grumpy old men – the Pope and the Ayatollah Khomeini – getting together in a bar: as the Pope grudgingly buys a round, he mutters to the Ayatollah: ‘Aren’t women the pits ?’ Anyone trying to ban that comment would lack not only a sense of proportion but a sense of humour. And the mere fact that fanatics hate being laughed at means that we should do so at every opportunity.

Howard’s Way You can hear it on the radio, you can see it on the television now, in 2006, all those crooked politicians. The key issue, however, is to realise it’s all one scandal: AWB, Children Overboard, Gerard [dodgy Reserve Bank appointee – Ed] and plenty of others. Remember how the Howard government lost four ministers in its first 12 months? But hardly a one since. Why? Howard’s Way – corruption at arm’s length. The ultimate corruption, of the very machinery of government itself. They know nothing. They employ only people who can be trusted to know when not to tell them anything. Howard rewards this. Fail? Become ambassador to Indonesia. Lie? Get promoted to another department. The challenge is for the opposition to lay this clear before the public, but we can all help, just by talking, talking, talking about corruption. Matt Hartley

Cyanide in mines It was puzzling to read the article, ‘Mayor launches cyanide watch’ (February 7) and the statement concerning state governments not standing up to mining companies in the past.

■ Does being a political commentator give you the right to say anything without having to prove it? Bob Ellis is supposedly a political commentator. But in his latest offering he gives vent to such harsh invective and judgement on George Bush as to make it sound like an explosion of subjective, personal feelings. Bush is no doubt a poorly endowed individual, with such an incredible disability with words as to make him appear the village idiot. I would not, however, let

what I think of him or his actions cloud my thinking, especially if it were to be published in a newspaper. To assert that the invasion of Iraq was an act of personal revenge by Bush for an attempt on his own life is ludicrous (over 3,000 USA citizens were killed on 9/11!) and to compare this with Saddam’s murder of countless of his own people after an attempt on his life is particularly odious. Proof please, Mr Ellis! As for the Hamas victory, was it a result of Bush’s actions? Proof please, Mr Ellis! Or perhaps, as many have hazarded, a rebellion against Fatah’s corrupt governance, not so long ago led not by the ‘respected leader, Yasser Arafat’, but the totally corrupt Arafat and his gang, many of whom are now being investigated? As for the renewed inference that, having received the ‘go ahead wink’ by George Bush, the Israelis poisoned him, this is not the first time that Bob Ellis makes this assertion without having any proof. Arafat seems to have died a slow death, possibly by poison repeatedly administered. If so, perhaps Mr Ellis might give us, his readers, an idea of how this was achieved by the Israelis. Or may it be that just like Caesar he had his own Brutus plotting in the

for all your compassion. Do my homework? Sir, I think it is you who needs to do some homework. Contrary to your comments, it doesn’t ‘always flood’ in Billinudgel. In fact before the June ’05 flood, the last time businesses and homes were inundated by floodwaters was in 1987. As Terry Hud-

son quite rightly put in his letter, our flooding problems are the result of poor or no Council maintenance and as far as many of us in the north are concerned, ridiculous planning. When storm water outlets from Fern Beach to Brunswick Heads are deliberately blocked by Council (albeit a

Iran meanwhile has been giving all the signs that it is about to switch to the euro: it has been issuing eurobonds, converting its foreign exchange reserves from dollars to euros and having warm trade negotiations with the EU. According to one recent report it has even started selling its oil to Europe for euros and encouraging Asian customers to pay in euros too. So it’s not about Iraq’s WMDs or Iran’s nuclear capabilities per se, it’s about the sacredness of the US dollar. Peggy Balfour

Senate? And would you explain why, were this true, the Arab world did not explode as it is doing in its crazed reaction to the Danish cartoons? I ask again, does writing as a political commentator give one the right to say anything that comes to mind without having proof? Please explain. George Franco

North Ocean Shores ■ Yes, I should like to discuss Bob Ellis’s lone gunman theory of US foreign policy. George W Bush’s personal kooky religiosity did not get the US into the Middle East disaster and the Democrats are not likely to improve on this disaster. The lone gunman theory of politics is one of the smokescreens for what is a 100-year system of US militarism and exploitation. The other smokescreens as George Orwell said are ‘prole-feed’, pornography, racism and religion: distractions from the real issues of power and finance. Big lobby groups (eg. military hardware and oil) call the political tune not small producers (eg. farmers, alternative energy or humanitarian projects). Prole-feed is below Bob Ellis’s level, or should be! E Elliott

were many homes in South Golden Beach, New Brighton and Ocean Shores (including mine). Does it ‘always flood’ in these areas too Mr Drew? The vast majority of hard working, tax and rate payers in the northern end of this shire are sick to death of being neglected by this and other Green councils. We have had a gut full of poor or no services, such as drainage, footpaths, kerb and guttering, lighting, bridges and sportsfields, to name a few. I’m sure if we had a chainsaw large enough we would cut ourselves away from this pathetic excuse of a Shire Council. As for you, Mr Drew, thank goodness we don’t all have apathetic attitudes like yours. Marc Patten

RTA and road safety Does the RTA share our concerns about safety? You have to wonder. Their report on upgrading the Pacific Highway says that over fifty percent of the TintenbarEwingsdale section fails at least one minimum design standard. Grades, curves, crests, sags, sight distances are substandard. Its record of injuries and deaths is much worse than what is acceptable. The RTA knows perfectly well that it is unsafe. Their response is: do nothing at all till 2012. Or later. Think about that if you are concerned about safety. If you want to wait till 2012 there might be a new motor-

way to take away some of the traffic. We know, and they know, that over the next six years (or more), while they do nothing about this unsafe road, there will be large increases in traffic, trucks and noise, and more accidents, injuries and deaths. RTA policy seems to be: ‘We know the highway is unsafe. So we’ll watch it get worse for six years.’ But that isn’t in their glossy report. And will the motorway open in 2012? Or in 2020? There are no promises. After that, what happens to the old highway? Well, nothing. Interstate travellers get the new $400 million motorway. We locals get an ugly six lane swathe carved through the countryside, vast areas of farmland lost, businesses wiped out. And, since the motorway can’t be used for short trips, for our own use we get the old highway, unimproved, unsafe. We will share it with much increased Lismore and Casino traffic. They can’t use the motorway either. So there will still be trucks roaring up St Helena Hill, and more of them than ever rumbling through Bangalow. You could say a loselose-lose situation. If you are concerned about safety, the RTA plan isn’t for you. (Unless like them, you think there’s no particular hurry.) If you are concerned about noise, it will get much worse for the next six or ten years. Even then, there will still be trucks in Bangalow. If you hoped for a safe road for your local trips, sorry, you can’t use the motorway. The

$400 million is not for you. No wonder nearly 18,000 of us signed to have the highway made safer right now, and for a long term solution which makes some sense. David Catchpoole

Bangalow

Abysmal discussion The level of analysis in the current discussion of the Danish cartoons which have so offended sections of the Muslim world is abysmal. It is of the same order as the reportage of the Cronulla riots and the ‘intelligent design’ farce.

Anyone who is aware of the attitude of secular scientists, and their adherents (products of the ‘enlightenment’), to religious belief of any kind, let alone ‘new age’ concepts, should also be aware that their contempt is as soundly based and honestly held as any religious belief. ‘Enlightened’ editors who allow this kind of contempt to ‘pass through to slips’ unnoticed are in no position to criticise the ignorant and unsophisticated for acting emotionally (be they scientific or religious fundamentalists).

From a non-Israeli perspective ■ George Franco (February 7) claims that Israel is in a defensive situation, citing only the ’67 and ’73 (not ’72) wars. In fact Israel had twice previously started wars of invasion and occupied Arab lands: ’48 and ’56. So Israel was the initial aggressor and not the ‘Arabs’. The letter also suggests that Palestinians are to blame for their continued oppression and occupation by the Israeli army. The UN disagrees and has taken Israel to task for its repeated aggressions more times than any other nation. To quote Israeli politicians, Prime Minister Moshe Sharett: ‘[Israel] must see the sword as the main if not the only instrument… toward this end it may know it must invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation and revenge... And above all, let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space.’ Getting this ‘space’ was the real agenda behind Israel’s wars. Prime Minister Ben-Gurion explains: ‘To maintain the status quo will not do. We

have to set up a dynamic state bent on expansion’. This aggressive expansion continues to be the name of the game that Israel plays, bulldozing as it does Palestinian communities whilst increasing the number of illegal settlers (or invaders) on Palestinian territory. Here are some statistics taken by Swedish Save the Children officials which typify the brutality of the occupation: 14,000 child injuries were documented in a two year period, most were from being beaten on their hands and upper bodies. Another poignant statistic shows that only a quarter of the children who were shot dead, blown up, or otherwise killed were near a stone throwing demonstration. Here is another shocking but well documented fact: most Palestinians are killed in their own homes. Unfortunately it is this climate of oppression that spawned Hamas and the deplorable escalation of violence. To add some perspective, more Israeli soldiers have committed suicide than have been killed by Hamas suicide bombers.

The road to peace is a straightforward one and does not need a complex ‘roadmap’. Israel must simply withdraw its army from Palestine, which is a sovereign country. Only when this first step is taken will real peace have a real chance. Subhi Awad

Myocum ■ George Franco’s letter contains a lot of standard Israeli propaganda which I realise is fervently believed by its recyclers. Space prevents going into the detail of this sorry saga but one widely-accepted ‘truth’ needs immediate rebuttal. I refer to the refusal of Barak’s Camp David proposals which is invariably quoted as the ultimate example of Palestinian intransigence. Prior to Camp David, UN resolutions 242 and 194 had been the abiding legal basis for negotiations. These required the withdrawal of Israel to the pre-war boundaries and laid down conditions for the return or compensation of the refugees forced from their homes by Israeli military action.

As a precursor to any agreement Israeli PM Barak effectively demanded that these resolutions be set aside. Instead he offered the retention of settlement blocs of 150,000 Israelis in Palestine, the redrawing of boundaries leaving 120,000 Palestinians inside the annexed areas (these people not to receive Israeli citizenship or benefits), no right of return or compensation for refugees (other than to go to the overcrowded remnant Palestinian territory) and although most thought that a right to East Jerusalem was included, Barak actually offered a town called Abu-Dis, to be renamed Al-Quds (the Arab name for Jerusalem). All this was reported in the Israeli media at the time but, then as now, people only believed what suits their prejudices. If anyone would like more detail I recommend Israel/ Palestine by Israeli academic and journalist Tanya Reinhart. I lent this book to a pro-Israel friend recently, after three months it was returned unopened…

If we are to have a climate in which we may enjoy freedom of speech they must provide analysis and perspective that will enable identity groups not to take it personally. Despite this, information is emerging revealing that the newspaper that published the offensive cartoons is a conservative Christian ‘family’ paper which had previously self-censored cartoons which might have offended its own constituency. This in a country, like several in Europe, having difficulty accommodating cultural and religious differences antithetical to their own culture and established state church of Lutheran persuasion. Also, the offensive depiction of the ‘prophet’ had the face of an extremely unpopular Imam in Copenhagen and was published last September. No real problem until the Imam did the rounds of several Muslim countries, the governments of which, like our own, need to divert public opinion from their own shortcomings. PS. I am saddened, considering that we are so blest in having such a fine organ for expression as The Echo and the intellectual muscle resident in our area, that such a percentage of letters is taken up with parochial matters.

Main Arm

Reuse still usable

Thanks for informing us of Council’s top-secret payout to an irrigator because of bungled staff advice February 7). The reuse scheme in Main Arm is the best little project that Mullumbimby has had since its now abandoned hydro-electric scheme, and its soon-to-be-superseded independent water Tom Tabart supply. Unfortunately the Brunswick Heads sewage effluent reuse scheme

gets no publicity, until it springs a leak (of several hundred thousand dollars). When Council staff first accepted that such a scheme was feasible, a civil engineer suggested in committee meeting that Council should employ a farmer instead of more civil engineers, to make effluent reuse really happen. If they had, that gum-booted hero would have re-paid all her/his wages by now (in saved payout). The mistake of promising average flow instead of minimum flow would not have happened. It’s still time to get effluent farming up and running. The current heroes are two Main Arm farmers who keep all of Mullumbimby’s effluent out of the Brunswick River (in dry weather). It’s a bureaucratic shame they have been driven to distraction by the bungle. Duncan Dey

A planning retreat I read with interest your front page article on beach protection (January 31) and tried to suspend my disbelief. As an ex-member of the Coastline Management Committee (CMC) for the several years needed to get a Draft Coastline Management Plan up, I would like to muddy the waters a little. 1. Planned Retreat – a lovely idea, but where would everyone go? Three years ago, in a committee meeting, I asked if the Council had any idea how many houses and people would be directly afflicted by planned retreat (and therefore, how much money?). No-one knew and apparently it’s still a mystery. 2. The consultants verbally assured/warned us that the 50 million dollars worth of sand we would have to pump on to our beaches could disappear anytime in a big storm

Letters unless more millions were spent on rock groynes. 3. I tried on several occasions to separate the plans and processes for New Brighton from the plans and processes for Belongil. These beaches are two separate and distinct areas with very different problems. New Brighton has a wide and effective dune, well vegetated, to protect it from the sea. And if that dune is maintained and replenished it could continue to protect it for quite a while. 4. The tide is coming in. Global warming, climate change and sea level rise are facts of life. Council is in a difďŹ cult position, in that if it starts to protect the coastline now, does that mean it is always committed to protecting it? When can the Council (and homeowners) call it quits and run for it? Unless we put a wall from Brunswick Heads to Pottsville the sea will come round, come

up the rivers creeks and canals. It’s all oodplain. 5. Beach skimming or dune replenishment is a viable short to medium term strategy, while the Council, state and federal governments argue about who is to pay the $50 million. Levies on beachfront properties perhaps? The cost of beach skimming is the cost of the hire of a bulldozer for two weeks plus an EIS. Not as much fun as spending $50 million! 6. So, perhaps the BSC wants the CMC re-activated so it can blame the fantastic cost and nasty social upset on community representatives. There is no way that this problem will go away, but the current ‘solutions’ are very dodgy. Perhaps it is time to consider small local solutions rather than big ‘one size ďŹ ts all’ ones. My sympathies to all

involved (I too am a frontline owner). We all need to give these problems some thought. In the meantime let’s look again at beach skimming for New Brighton. Andrew Hall

New Brighton

Not happy, Jan As a resident of South Golden Beach I would like to know why the only time we see rangers is when they are revenue raising, ďŹ ning innocent people for having their dog on the beach below the high tide mark – which is actually the Maritime Service area – doing nothing but having a morning chat while the dogs play in the surf. To all the dog haters, do you actually realise how much damage humans do to the beach? On any given day you’ll ďŹ nd alcohol bottles all over the place, remnants of ďŹ res on the beach after par-

ties, ďŹ shing line and bait containers everywhere, walkways made through the sand dunes from people urinating/defecating in the dunes which scares wildlife away. Humans walking everywhere, leaving cigarette butts everywhere, plus a 4WD driving up and down the beach spewing out fumes, crushing crabs, scaring birds. Compare this to a well trained dog on a lead, having a peaceful walk on the beach in the water, admiring the wildlife (none – humans have killed most of it). I’m aware that there are irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs to wander and maim wildlife and I do not support this in any fashion, but take a realistic look at the issue of wildlife destruction. The main contributing factor is habitat destruction and/or removal – this is done by another sort of dog with a ravenous appetite that can never be

satisfied. This dog has the biggest, greediest, most dangerous fangs of all and is not a loyal friend to anyone. Also a warning to all the ladies who frequent the beach – watch out for perverts masturbating in the dunes in the dog area (locally known as the wankers’ area). This happened to my wife recently, luckily we had a dog as she could have been raped (be careful). This is not an infrequent incident – I’ve been told other local women have experienced similar onslaughts over the years and won’t walk the beach without their dogs for this reason. We rang the police and they did what they usually do, be polite on the phone and when the conversation is ďŹ nished, go back to sleep. We rang the Council asking for the ranger to have a look between noon and 3pm when most people are at work, all to no avail. What do we do?

Letters continued from page 11

Take it into our own hands? You tell me. I know we are not the only people who have complained about this happening – so why are we being ignored? Why do we pay rates when we have no infrastructure here? Why are all the natural outlets blocked off which would otherwise allow the ood waters to run out rather than us being ooded here in South Golden Beach at the drop of a hat? We are neglected in all respects but you have the audacity to send a cowboy here in a ranger suit to fine and harass us for peacefully being on the beach with a loyal companion.

If Council chooses to continue to neglect us as it has for the last 20 years, I don’t see how a cowboy ranger can have any authority here – for Council does not demonstrate that it has any interest in South Golden Beach. I reckon either fulfill your responsibilities or bugger off and take your cowboy ranger with you. Not happy, Jan. Jason Hamlin

justify the massively overengineered, highly disruptive, and long-overdue road repairs in Montecollum. One wonders how many second or third opinions they’d have sought if the floods had damaged their driveways at home, and if they’d had to pay for repairs with their own dollars, time and inconvenience? I’ll bet on a much speedier, simpler, common sense solution. And where were our Green Councillors when the total closure of Coolamon Scenic Drive was contemplated, forcing detours of either 40 or 60km each day on locals and visitors – unnecessary detours if common sense rather than ‘cover your ass’ had prevailed. Over the six week closure, I calculated that locals will travel more than 2,000 kms unnecessarily, spending up to $300 extra on fuel alone, and along with the many visitors to the area, will collectively produce many tonnes of greenhouse gases. The Coolamon Scenic Drive verge was damaged last June largely because Council does not routinely clean the drains of debris washed down by rain. Just around the corner, in Goonengerry Road, 12 of the 20 pipe drains crossing underneath a two km stretch are still blocked by silt and ood debris from the oods almost four weeks ago. That includes two out of the three drains which blocked last June, requiring major verge repairs and drain upgrades. And there are six further blockages caused by landslips ďŹ lling the water table‌ in all 18 places in only two km where the next heavy downpour is guaranteed to have water coursing over the road again, causing more wash-aways, disruption, and repair expenses. A small backhoe could have cleaned them all out in half a day. But no, not in our Shire! We’ll wait until the road has been trashed again before belatedly cleaning them out. There is a bright side though‌ it will also guarantee that these same Council ofďŹ cials will have jobs well into the future. Hello-o-o. Is there anybody out there? George Lewin

Economic impact I am very concerned that the citizens of Byron Bay are unaware of the vast area of restriction covered by the proposed holiday letting ban by Council. For people who have no interest in, and will not read the proposed LEP, who will educate them as to the impact this will have if implemented? No one seems to know that holiday letting will be banned in Belongil, Watego’s, parts

The carnival continues‌ â– I believe the most important issue concerning the Byron Peace Carnival is membership. Since I was the secretary, treasurer and public officer of Byron Peace Carnival Inc I know about the history of membership in that organisation. The reality is that Paul Joseph, as president, was so violently opposed to new membership that he purposely never allowed membership applications to be issued to the community. This was in opposition to myself, Dieter Horstmann and Binnah Pownall. I was told by Paul Joseph that I just didn’t understand how things worked around Byron and we were going to do things the ‘Byron Way’. In fact, there were no legal members of the Byron Peace Carnival until October 2005 when I made the issue very clear to every committee member. The committee up to that time was an illegitimate carnival in and of itself. Anyone who knew that my speciality was in organisation structuring could appreciate and/or be entertained by my dilemma. What Paul Joseph is attempting to do now, as it appears to me, is to have people go the BPC website and register there. This is nothing new since this was his idea of ‘membership’ from the beginning. However, this is terribly misleading since an individual who has ‘registered’ on the web site is not a full legal member of the incorporated community association known as

bership of the association. He appears to be a disgruntled ex-ordinary committee member (resigned) who has a challenge with true democratic process. We do welcome genuine applications for membership and enquiries should be addressed to the Secretary, BPC, PO Box 1771, Byron Bay 2481. Applicants need to be both proposed and seconded by existing paid-up members of the association. Regarding applications tabled en masse by Mr Horstmann at the committee meeting he attended on December 16, these and all other applications will be dealt with in due course. We have invited Mr Horstmann to answer a total of 21 allegations that he has brought our organisation into disrepute through a series of nonpeaceful actions.We welcome his response, it may be enlightening. Having local business people as voluntary members of any local community group I would imagine is an asset, or am I missing something here? As a local business person Mr Horstmann might be Ricardo Johansson aware of this.

this, in fact most are very appreciative that their ticket is reusable for a period of two weeks. 100% of entry proceeds have always gone towards improvements, or repaying the mortgage taken out to make those improvements. Proceeds of the shop go largely towards supporting the more than 20 gifted locals who work at the Castle. We want the Crystal Castle to continue to be a strong and growing business offering increasing local employment and a rich experience for both tourists and locals. We believe the Castle is a signiďŹ cant physical symbol of the alternative cultural experience that tourists seek here. Any ideas and feedback on how to improve this are always welcome. We continue to do what we love and trust that the vast majority of visitors will be touched by the magic and wonder we weave.

Castle visitors happy Thank you, Grace Frew, for the suggestion (February 7) of adding entry fee details to our website, this has been done. I acknowledge it is unusual to have a system where locals enter a tourist attraction for free, and tourists are charged. Residents of the Gold Coast do not get to enter Sea World for free, they pay the same $62 per head as everyone else. However, this is the way we have chosen to offer the Crystal Castle, as a thank you to all the locals who have supported us over the past 20 years. The vast majority of visitors have no issue with

Byron Peace Carnival Inc with a full vote. The only way someone can become a full legal member is to ďŹ ll out the proper membership form (designed by the Department of Fair Trading). That individual would then have to be nominated by one member and seconded by a second member, and then have the application submitted to the committee for a decision to accept or reject. This is the only proper and legal way to do it, and Dieter Horstmann has been acting correctly in this matter of membership – despite Paul Joseph claiming otherwise. Dieter Horstmann and I submitted 10 membership applications on December 16, 2005, including one for Christopher Dean, and the Byron Peace Carnival up to this time has refused to acknowledge them. The rules issued by the Department of Fair Trade allow for a reasonable time to process membership forms. Is this community happy with the time it takes the Byron Peace Carnival to process applications?

Horror pic I want to express my horror at the snap of Smartartist James De Weaver and his paintings on page 2 of your January 10 issue. Can someone still believe that it’s OK in this day and age, and particularly in the ‘enlightened’ Byron Shire, to depict women in such a manner? If the artist’s intent was perhaps to draw our attention to the more often than not degrading and anti-feminist portrayal of women in the history of art, there is no indication of such. Consequently I can only assume that the artist is in fact a very un-smartartist, and probably a mindless fuck as well! Phoebe Havyatt

Finding the toxic links to hyperactive behaviour Alex McAuley Why is it that the last ďŹ ve to ten years has seen such a huge increase in the number of children being diagnosed with attention-deďŹ cit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD)? How many of us can remember a time, not so very long ago, when we had never heard of the condition? What is making our children fall victim to this incredibly challenging and now very common behavioural disorder? These are all questions that Lillian Reekie has asked after her personal experience of having a child diagnosed with AD/HD. A trained primary school teacher who worked in the school system for 17 years, Lillian’s life changed forever after her son Caleb was diagnosed with AD/HD and Oppositional DeďŹ ance Disorder (ODD) in early childhood. According to the National Resource Center on AD/ HD’s website ‘AD/HD is the term now used for a condition which has had several names over the past hundred years including attention deďŹ cit disorder or ADD. It affects between three and seven per cent of school age children and between two and four per cent of adults and is characterised by prob-

lems with attention, impulsivity and overactivity. There is no simple test to determine whether someone has AD/ HD. Accurate diagnosis is made only by a trained clinician after an extensive evaluation. This evaluation should include ruling out other possible causes for the symptoms involved, a thorough physical examination, and a series of interviews with the individual and other key people in the individual’s life.. ‘My son was aggressive, hyperactive, and just a constantly difficult child,’ said Lillian. ‘With the health challenges experienced by my son Caleb, I started a journey to set about trying to ďŹ nd the answers. Everywhere I looked the medical profession told me that Caleb needed to be on drugs. I guess we weren’t ready to follow their recommendations made.’ The drug most usually prescribed for a child like Caleb is Methylphenidate, commonly known as Ritalin. Lillian’s concerns about medicating her young child indeďŹ nitely prompted her to do some research into the condition and the treatments available.What she discovered so shocked her that she spent the next several years gathering and sorting through infor-

mation that she felt would help with Caleb’s hyperactivity and aggression. There is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence emerging from the US and Canada, where treatment of AD/HD with Ritalin has been widespread for a number of years, that long term use of this type of drug can have extremely harmful side effects, and in serious cases may even cause death (see www.ritalindeath.com). More chillingly, the same website purports that there are suggestions of ďŹ nancial incentives for diagnosing a child with AD/HD and prescribing it with Ritalin. Schools in the US receive additional money from state and federal government for every child diagnosed and drugged. Further, parents

Guides to active play for children North Coast Area Health Service’s Health Promotion team has put together a list of local contacts to help parents and carers choose ‘active play’ ideas and activities that will help improve the physical activity levels of nor th coast children. According to Jillian Adams, Obesity Prevention Coordinator with NCAHS,

‘North coast towns have loads of children’s activities but it is often hard to get the details about them. The Kid’s Active Play Guides will help parents and carers find local and regional activities that are as diverse as circus training to canoeing, aikido and belly dancing.’ This initiative from North

Coast Health Promotion is backed by ďŹ ndings from a recent survey, showing that Australian kids are spending too much time looking at the ‘box’ and not enough time playing active games. The Health Behaviours of Secondary School Students in NSW 2002 report revealed 37% of adolescents in NSW watch an average of three or more hours of television on school days, increasing to 49% on weekends.

receiving welfare money from the government can get additional funds for every child diagnosed and drugged. For many parents from low socioeconomic backgrounds (often single mothers), these ďŹ nancial incentives offered in hard times are hard to refuse. Lillian’s unease and fear for her son’s health grew. ‘After Caleb was diagnosed, I did much research into the condition and the treatments that were available,’ said Lillian. ‘There were too many side effects, much of which I personally wasn’t prepared to risk. Now, I am by no way against the medical profession, far from it. In the case of Caleb’s ODD/ADHD I just had an intuitive insight, a little voice inside that said “there must be a better wayâ€?. ‘So,

not being prepared to take the medical route, I spent several years gathering and sorting through information that would help.’ Using her mother’s instinct, determination to ďŹ nd a solution and a good deal of common sense, Lillian has discovered that reducing the toxicity of her son’s diet has a hugely positive impact on his behaviour. The colours, preservatives and additives that are so commonly present in food these days all contribute to a chemical cocktail which increases the toxicity of our bodies. Lillian found a direct link between Caleb’s condition and what he ate. By reducing the amount of chemical additives in his food and increasing the nutritional value of meals by offering organic and whole foods, Caleb’s behaviour improved out of sight. ‘Not only are we putting huge amounts of chemicals into our bodies,’ said Lillian, ‘we are also eating food that is depleted in essential minerals and vitamins which exacerbates the problem.’ Caleb is now twelve and a half years old and exhibits no hyperactive or aggressive behaviour. Lillian was so inspired by her success that she started running seminars

entitled ‘Hidden Dangers’ during which she helps people make informed choices about the products they use in their homes. She was so overwhelmed by the response to the seminars that she wrote a ‘book about her experience, also entitled Hidden Dangers. Written with no claims to any qualifications, Lillian describes it as ‘the story of a mum faced with a challenge who thought there had to be more to it than lifelong amphetamine use and the eventual addiction’. More recently, Lillian has turned her attention towards the low self esteem kids with AD/HD have and how to change their negative self image, which led to her second book The Best Me I Can Be, focusing on encouraging a positive attitude in children and adolescents with the condition. She is currently travelling through NSW and Victoria offering her ‘Hidden Dangers’ seminar and will be in Byron Bay on Monday February 20 at the Lord Byron Resort from 7.15pm. Tickets cost $10 at the door, or can be pre purchased at three for $20. Contact Mike and Glenda Kypriadis on 6688 4326, or Jeanette Clarke on 6687 5572 for bookings and information.

o, we shouldn’t publish cartoons mocking Mohammed because a lot of people will get killed if we do. Nor should we publish advertisements of motor cars because hundreds of thousands of people get killed in them each year, tens of millions in your average modern century. Nor should we lend Mein Kampf to jobless teenagers mooching round Lismore library because look what happened last time. All this nonsense comes from the well-meaning fools who thought up verbal violence and racial viliďŹ cation and passed laws about them. Once you say ‘freedom of speech except...’ you might as well forget the whole thing. Let’s be frank about this. There are ministers of religion who threaten with eternal, screaming, howling, searing hellďŹ re those who are not baptised in their religion. Is this verbal violence? Or a justiďŹ able utterance of sincerely held belief? There are priests and nuns and pastors and deaconesses and imams and caliphs who hold that beheading, or hell, or purgatory, or a severe talking to awaits all homosexuals, who should pull it out immediately and settle down with the nice girl next door. Is this verbal violence? Does this tend to vilify a minority, and cause violence against them? Why not? It’s an enormous question. And the right to publish Lolita, the right to praise Osama, the right to agree with St Paul in his trashing of mar-

riage, the right to advocate abortion though it sometimes kills or sterilises teenage girls, the right to call for the murder of Salman Rushdie or Yasser Arafat or Saddam Hussein or the right to speak up for marijuana, a drug that assists in some people the onset of schizophrenia, the right to shout â€˜ďŹ re!’ in a crowded theatre, the right to abuse a cricket umpire, are all part of it. For only barbarism forbids free utterance of particular words and sentences, and

New yabby discovered in Clarence River catchment Another new species of yabby has just been described from the far, upper reaches of the Clarence River catchment. The description was published in the latest issue of the Australia New Guinea Fishes Association’s journal, Fishes of Sahul. The new species was described by Southern Cross University PhD candidate Jason Coughran, and is one of several new species he discovered during his recent exploratory ďŹ eld work across the northeastern NSW region. Jason named the species after his most dedicated ďŹ eld assistant, Shawn Leckie, who was also involved in the discovery. ‘The research project was an enormous effort, made easier by the frequent help Shawn offered,’ Jason said. ‘He was very keen to help out whenever he could, and he did so on many occasions – including the collecting trips for this new species.’

‘Cherax leckii is a small yabby that was recorded from only one of 245 sites sampled in Jason’s project. Although other species in the genus are generally noted as having widespread, lowland ranges, Leckie’s CrayďŹ sh is a highland species, of obvious conservation concern due to its restricted distribution. ‘All the other species discovered in the project were

spiny crays, of the genus Euastacus, and these commonly have highland distributions. But to ďŹ nd a new Cherax in a remote, highland locality was most surprising. It really throws up some big questions about what surprises might still be out there – it’s a huge country, with plenty of unexplored pockets.’ The formal publication

of the description came just in time to include the yabby’s ofďŹ cial name in a ďŹ eld guide to the region’s yabbies due for release in early March, which Jason developed with the general community in mind. Having been bitten by the crayfish bug himself, Mr Leckie is now engaged in his own PhD research on the ecology of highland yabbies.

Film festival gathers dreams of dolphins Lesley Patterson Whale and dolphin mythology has long fascinated ďŹ lm director Kim Kendersley. Over ten years ago British born Kim had a life changing experience when he swam with dolphins in the magical waters around Ireland’s Dingle Bay. ‘It changed my world view. I realised that we’re part of nature and not merely observers of it,’ explains Kim, who was later inspired to make his ďŹ rst documentary The Dolphin’s Gift, which screened on SBS television. A growing fascination with whale and dolphin mythology led Kim to his latest work, a ten year project called The Gathering, which will screen at next week’s Byron Bay Film Festival. Throughout the late 1990s Kim searched the world for native people with a spiritual connection to whales and dolphins. He spoke to Amazonian Indians, Pacific islanders, African people and Australian native tribes, particularly the Mirning tribe from South Australia whose traditional land lies near the former nuclear test site at Maralinga. On a trip to South Australia to learn about the Mirning people’s tradition of communicating with whales, Kim witnessed a Southern Right Whale apparently called to the clifftop where the group stood. He recalls his wonder as the creature

leapt out of the water in front of them and roared as if trying to communicate with those assembled. ‘I became appalled by the story of the Mirning people. Their culture had been compromised by their forcible transfer to missions at the turn of the century,’ Kim explains, a situation which grew worse when the government allowed nuclear testing in the area. In 1998, at the Nullarbor cliffs in South Australia, native people gathered to honour the importance of whales and dolphins in their culture. Many of the native people Kim had spoken to from around the world were ďŹ lmed joining

the Mirning tribe on their traditional land. ‘The Gathering was the start of a process to show the world that the Mirning were the traditional owners of this land, where they had carried out whale dreaming ceremonies,’ Kim said. ReGenesis founder Elaine Seiler helped to fund the meeting in 1998 and ďŹ nance for the ďŹ lm came from Julian Lennon, who Kim had met in a former career as a record company employee in London. It took another seven years for the ďŹ lm, The Gathering, to reach a conclusion as Kim Kendersley battled depression and despair at the state of the world. Finally, inspired

by the resurrection of the peace movement in Los Angeles he caught up with Julian Lennon who agreed to continue with his ďŹ nancial commitment to the ďŹ lm. The journey recommenced, ďŹ nally coming to a rest at the Byron Peace Carnival last year at Tyagarah attended by Mirning elder, Bunna Lawrie, and members of the Yolgnu people from the Northern Territory. The Gathering is the closing ďŹ lm at the Byron Bay Film Festival, which starts on Saturday February 18 and runs until Saturday February 25 at the Byron Bay Community Centre.

Local drummer joins tenors on world tour A graduate of Mullumbimby High School has made it onto the world stage of music at just 23 years of age. Nicholas Hatch has been contracted to play the drums for ‘The Ten Tenors’ on their world tour and left for the Unites States last Saturday. Nick was given his ďŹ rst drum kit by his parents when he started high school in 1994 because at the time, Mullum High didn’t have a drummer for its school band. He started his drum training with local musician and teacher Rick Kent, and by the time he was in year 10, his talent was evident and he was offered work experience with Geoff Harvey on Channel 9’s Midday Show. He was also fortunate to be offered a wealth of performing opportunities by the school, the community and the Department of Education, including regular drumming for the Coolamon Music Hall performances and playing with the school band on ANZAC Day and for local charity events.

Nick’s dream to become a professional drummer began when he was in year 10 and he vigourously pursued his goal, practising for up to six hours a day. Dur-

ing his university years when he gained a Bachelor of Music at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, he was drummer for the renowned Con

Artists Big Band: the Conservatorium jazz ensemble led by outstanding trumpeter and university lecturer John Hoffman. Since completing his degree in 2003, Nick has been kept busy with his commitments as drummer for the Queensland Youth Jazz Band, ‘Howl At The Moon’ – a night-club on the Gold Coast – and playing for three new contemporary bands from Brisbane: The Seks, Paisley and TrafďŹ c. He has also recently travelled to Japan for a week of playing for new Australian recording artist Claire Trentain who launched her debut album in January. ‘The Ten Tenors’ will tour the east coast of the US for three months, visiting Raleigh, North Carolina; Memphis, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; and Palm Beach, Florida. It will then travel through Europe for three months, starting in Germany, before returning to the US for a further three months.

Articles Learning to breathe again

Breathing difficulties such as asthma, emphysema or just plain ‘short of breath’ all impinge on a patient’s quality of life and can lead to loneliness and a feeling of hopelessness. In an effort to overcome this, members of the Richmond River Lung Support Group get together once a week for gentle exercises to help improve both their breathing and their quality of life. The classes are held every Friday from 11.15 am to 12.15 pm at the CWA Hall in River Street, Ballina (next to the RSL Club). The instructor is Noeleen Fuller, a Senior Instructor with the

Australian Academy of Tai Chi who takes the class through easy to follow exercises which are specifically designed to help the respiratory system. Anyone who has a breathing problem is welcome to come and not only improve their health, but make new friends in to the bargain. The cost is $5 a class and for any enquiries phone Noeleen on 6686 5853 or Pauline on 6687 1998. Pictured above are some of the group from left to right: Brenda Carmichael, Margitta Fitzner, Nev Kelly, Marj Hill, Pauline Ranscombe, David Barnes.

Wu Tao: dancing with the elements Willow Salathiel is a woman to be envied. Some time ago she made a conscious decision to escape the rat race and find herself something she could do every day that she loved. While in this frame of mind, pure chance led her to read an advertisement in a magazine for Wu Tao (pronounced ‘woo dow’): a ritual comprising five dances relating to the five Chinese elements of air, water, wood, fire and earth. Each dance relates to a particular element, opening the corresponding meridians and allowing the energy to flow freely through the body. It also tones the body and brings your mind to a place free of chatter. Balancing the Qi energy in the body and bringing together dance, music and meditation, Wu Tao gives you an enjoyable experience that has enormous health benefits. Willow travelled to the Gold Coast to try it out and was smitten. She then went to Melbourne to train in the art of instruction before returning to the northern rivers to become the first trained Wu Tao teacher in the area. ‘I love it,’ said Willow. ‘In combines my passion for dance with spirituality and

a love of people. It has helped to bring purpose, balance and joy into my life, which is why I am so excited to bring Wu Tao to the Northern Rivers.’ Willow is offering four six week introductory courses during which you will learn the five choreographed dances before you begin your

personal journey in the spirituality of Wu Tao. You can then continue with ongoing classes, sharing the experience with others. Classes will be held at Federal Hall starting Wednesday February 15 and Dunoon Hall starting Thursday February 16 from 9.15am to10.15am; Lismore (venue

TBA) starting Tuesday February 21 from 5.45pm to 6.45pm; and Coorabell Hall from Wednesday March 1 from 6.15pm to 7.15pm and cost $75. Bookings are essential as numbers are limited. For more information contact Willow on 0427 566 583 or visit www.wutaodance. com.

In fact, it was the Howard Government which warned Pearman of ‘dire consequences’ if he didn’t shut up about global warming. We regret the confusion.

dream for one of her great loves – animals. This time last year Margaret opened the doors to the Companion Animals Welfare Inc. Opportunity Shop in Brunswick Heads. And the dream? To raise funds to build a dog shelter in Byron; and this Saturday at the shop there will be a celebratory sausage sizzle to mark the occasion. Margaret who is president as well as founder of the project, has assembled a team of very dedicated volunteers, and it is they who have helped make the shop such a success. ‘We have people to help out in so many areas from washing and ironing every item of clothing we sell, and also washing the plush toys. We have a qualiďŹ ed electrician to check over all the appliances and also we have an amazing group of people who take turns with the day to day running of the business’. Walking into the store is more like stepping into a funky gift shop or a boutique. It is bright and airy and the stock is of a high standard even though the majority of it is second hand. And beneďŹ ts of the shop are threefold. ‘We are raising money while at the same time recycling and providing a service,’ says Margaret.

‘We have had a very proďŹ table ďŹ rst year. After expenses that include the rental of the shop, insurance, phone, power and storage, we have managed to clear $50,000, and though the shelter is a long way off, we have made a good start in getting the funds to buy the land.’ Margaret hopes all those who have donated items for sale, and all the customers who have supported the shop, come along to the sausage sizzle this Saturday from 10.30am to 12.30pm, as it is her way of saying thank you.

Tripod on your ipod Last year was a big one for musical comedy trio, Tripod. The three self confessed nerds bagged themselves an Aria for the best comedy album, with ‘Marlborough Road’ taking out the honours. Having been nominated 5 times over 3 years, I asked one third of the Pod, Yon, whether it’s just attering to be in the company of comic genius, or whether it’s really a win that whets the appetite. ‘Well we have been nominated a number of times. We also had a nomination for the Skithouse. You’d think we’d eventually get one... I was really surprised how good it felt – because we weirdly straddle comedy and music, you can kind of pretend you got it for music...’ While accepting the award at our most prestigious Music Industry Awards was a highlight, for Yon, arriving at the red carpet event certainly was not. ‘I don’t really like those type of functions – it’s like a wedding. I don’t like weddings. I don’t like those sitting down functions.

Even if it’s really expensive. How do you prepare 600 steaks? The other thing is the red carpet. We’ve already done 4 red carpets. One was the Logies... I got separated from the group on the carpet and I turned around and they were all gone and no one (the crowd and the papparazzi) knew who I was... I felt like Hey, I don’t belong here... It’s so cringeworthy those events in Australia... it’s such a small market, it’s the same old faces. Last year when we did it people did know who we were (on the red carpet) and it didn’t feel any better. I like being on stage and when people clap I like it, but there’s something about being clapped when you haven’t done anything (except arrive) that kind of freaks me out..’ So who are the holy trinity of Tripod? In a sense, Yon, Scod and Gatesy represent archetypal characters that create the perfect balance of tension, conversation and point of difference on stage. ‘Well there’s the geek with the glasses who likes to think he’s the

master of ceremonies... and there’s the one in the middle who’s blustery but deep down insecure and there’s the one who always misses the point and does weird noises. I am that one. ‘Tripod existed before Gatesy, the guy I am about to talk about named Tripod. He’s quite an odd guy and so he and I were in competition for oddness. It was one guy with glasses and two short

geekdom certainly has a wide pull power. ‘I think a lot of people come and see us who wouldn’t normally go and see stand up comedy. There’s a bit of suspension of disbelief that happens with comedy... our presentation and manner is quite childish and accessible, but the subject matter are more adult things like relationships.’ ‘We don’t do much topical stuff, because we’re lazy and it doesn’t last. The good thing about The Song in an Hour was being topical. But I don’t think we are that well informed. If you are doing topical material I think you have to be very well informed. You should know your stuff. We do have political stuff – but it’s relevant for a lot longer. There’s a song about the War and the other day we wrote one about a suicide bomber and the cycle of violence.’ After years performing with the comfort of stagemates, Yon has taken the plunge and ventured into the spotlight alone.

THESOAPBOX with Mandy Nolan

Are you for eight six? I have the ultimate conversation starter for those times when dinnerparty chat strays into the arena of the impersonal and dispassionate: ‘Wow, isn’t abortion great!’ It’s more contentious than a gluten free Iraq but without the kickbacks. There are no fence sitters in this issue. Abortion is black and white. You either support it or you don’t. In the same way you’re either pregnant or you’re not (one is never just a little bit preggie, a little bit not) termination offers no grey area. It has long been the stimulus of many a philosophical and ethical discussion, attempting to ascertain when ‘life’ actually begins and at what point the human incubator of said life, relinquishes the right to eject aforementioned cellular tenant. US Comedian Bill Hicks had a lot to say on the matter and famously stated to a shocked crowd ‘You’re not a human until you’re in my address book.’ Abortion is right up there with rape and incest as one of those hardline subjects you just don’t talk about publicly, let alone joke about. Funny thing happened to me on the way to the abortion clinic... It’s truly an uncomfortable subject. Although something funny did happen to me. I was performing at a friend’s wedding, and my eyes kept wandering back to the best man. I had a strange de ja vu, like we’d met somewhere before. Jesus, I didn’t root him did I? Nothing worse than a bonking blackout. Mid routine I blurted out: ‘Don’t I know you from somewhere??’ Half the women at

the wedding giggled self consciously. Then it hit me. About five years previously the dude had ‘performed’ a termination on me. (Weird word ‘performed’ like he did it in tap shoes and a tutu). I was embarassed and a little frustrated. Not because I was ashamed of having an abortion, but because something truly freaky had happened to me and I’d never be able to talk about it on stage. (Due to the Clunk Factor of the subject). RU486 made it through the senate admidst a flurry of debate. The bill hits the house of Reps this week. Who, how and when should the abortion pill be administered? And who do you want to make the decision? Tony Abbott? (Had it been available some years back, he may not have had that embarassing DNA debacle) Should Parliament make the decision? The Therapeutic Goods Administration? What about a cloister of catholic nuns, or should we all attempt to straddle the moral high ground that Barnaby Joyce so readily mounts? Barnaby has spoken quite eloquently on the emotional dilemnas of those facing an unwanted pregnancy. Surprising really, I didn’t even know he’d been up the duff, let alone grappled with the angst of a guilt ridden gestation. Wanker. Nothing shits me more than hearing middle class men, like Mr Abbott, wax lyrical about the evils of abortion. Ironically, pro-lifers have been known to become so obsessed by their crusade they’ve taken to murdering the

murderers (the vacuum doctors) which I personally think is a very Un-Pro-Life action. The issue is how the abortion pill is supposed to be regulated (if approved by the TGA) and how it is to be administered as a medical alternative to a surgical procedure. Even liberal minister Amanda Vanstone gave the boys a reality check with her comment: ‘If there is such a thing as a just war then why is there never a just abortion?’ Wake up you moral maniacs. Abortion has already been debated. It’s legal. RU486 is already used in 33 countries, and when the patient is fully informed, many doctors believe that when given the choice, women will take the surgical option. The morning after pill and Postinor (the three day after pill for those having a really good time) are already available over the counter without a prescription. Believe me popping an abortion pill ain’t going to be anything like popping an eckie. It’s insulting when the Pope’s pin up boy (Abbott) refers to them as pop and forget pills inferring that women make the decision to terminate pregnancies with callous abandon. I’ve been pregnant 6 times in 38 years and I’ve made 6 different choices. I’m happy with every single one of them. When faced with an unwanted pregnancy not everyone will choose a termination, but women do have a right to choose, and a drug like RU486 just broadens the options. That is of course if Tony Abbott thinks it’s ok. Greens Senator Kerry Nettle Courtesy Andrew Taylor, SMH

Tripod from front page

For Pete’s Sake

up three solo standup performances. ‘I have wanted to do it for ages. I get a bit wary and maybe I am being a bit ignorant – there are probably some rules I should know, I think it comes out on stage though. A lot of comics are too cynical about form. It becomes an us and them mentality. I think if you find your voice more organically you are more likely to come out sounding original.’ Tripod attracts nerds. It’s cerebral fly paper, it’s the kind of thing that just sticks with you. ‘We have a couple of really keen fans, but we ask for it. We are quite nerdy on stage and really celebrate that. I really like that a group of people, a group of misfits are really into it.’

Pete Murray embodies a laid back laconic charm that’s just kind of infectious. He’s like Australia’s very own version of Jack Johnson, except this little bunny comes with batteries and he really moves around a stage. (I do love Mr Johnson, but once queried whether he’d been superglued to the spot). Pete released his second album ‘See the Sun’ last year, a powerful collection of ballads and rocky tunes that provide a comprehensive palette to illustrate his range. I managed to grab a quick chat with Pete on the road to Brisbane. Most recently I had spied one of his video clips depicting him and the band playing on a rooftop amidst some very creative dancers. ‘The song is Class A. It was filmed on a rooftop in Melbourne when the sun was going down. The people that we got dancing we found in nightclubs and asked them along because they were really bad dancers.

The only problem is we couldn’t find all the footage of the bad dancing. One guy in particular was really funny.’ Gosh, I’m one of the worst dancers I’ve ever met. It could have been my big break! Pete has recently become a North Coast resident: ‘We have an old farm house. It’s 100 years old. We are starting to get into it now. We moved here 6 or 7 months ago. We have 3 goats. We had 5, but a dog attacked and killed 2 of them.’ Luckily goats are fairly self sufficient, it’s very difficult to be a rock star and a farmer simultaneously. Especially now that Pete has the added role of father to his young son Charlie. A committed family man, it’s not unusual to find Murray on the road with family in tow. ‘I try and take the fam-

ily away with me. You have to look at the whole thing. It’s hard when you have a family and have to spend time on the road. It’s nice to come home.’ This Year’s Bluesfest sees Pete joined by his band, The Stonemasons, augmented by a full horn section. With a set list drawn from both his first and second album, this will be a show you won’t want to miss. Tickets can be bought online at www.bluesfest.com.au

LIVEMUSIC ii MAKING YOUR OWN JAM Wild Marmalade are an innovative high energy Australian dance trio playing didgeridoo, percussion and drums to create totally live organic dance music in an awesome meeting of virtuoso players. Their cutting edge sound arises from the conjunction of Si’s percussive didgeridoo playing with the explosive grooves of the Mat Ledgar and Matt Goodwin rhythm section. This is original Australian dance music at its wildest. The entire Wild Marmalade trio will be performing together in Byron Bay for the first time in over two years this Thursday night on the lush tropical terrace at the Buddha Bar. They’ve been

playing the Japanese and European circuits, exposing them to the very original live dance grooves. This summer ‘didge’ Si and Mat Ledgar on drums have been reminding Byron of the Wild Marmalade sound, but this is the first time Matt Goodwin on percussion will join the band in Byron after their extensive world touring the last couple of years. Be prepared for an explosive high energy performance resonating with the organic evolutionary culture of the North Coast. Proudly presented by the Buddha Bar, this event offers free entry and support from local producer/ DJ Dave Basek. This is REAL people on REAL instruments, with REAL skill. No effects, no samples. 100% organic grooves.

LIVEMUSIC ii ON THE LOVE BUSES Last year a positive thinking Lennox Mum bounded up to the stage to take out two Dolphin Awards. Since that time, it’s been busy busy busy for Ms Felicity Burdett who’s next gig is a fundraiser for Sea Shepherd, a group she calls ‘The political pirates of the sea’. In a chat I had with Felicity she went on to say: ‘They are really making shit happen. The main reason I want to get behind it is the whaling campaign, called Project Whales Forever. I came into contact with them through a friend and then I went searching on the net and basically found out that they are just starting to build their networks over here. They come from the States, and have been around for 30 years – they’ve managed to shut down Icelandic whaling completely – and half the Spanish Whaling. I am donating $10 from every CD sale to the Sea Shepherd.’ According to Felicity a win at the Dolphins really got things jumping: ‘It’s helped set a lot of things in motion. People’s attitudes have changed, people take us more seriously and people know who we are. Everyone who has listened to the album has been really positive.’ So what exactly is the Love Bus Vibe? ‘It’s all about love. My main ambition is to spread positivity and love to motivate people. I actually did a motivation speech last night for ďŹ fty women. I basically told them not to call a dream a dream, but to call it a goal because then you can set about to achieving it. I think women can sell themselves a bit short at times. They take on the whole motherhood role and focus on family. I like to encourage them to do something away from that. Every mother I meet who is just stuck at home has something they really love doing and they need that extra encouragement to get out and do it. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and I suppose I am a bit of a role model for those women.’ Being a performing Mum myself I know the complexities of mixing work and family. For Felicity, it’s all about making some pretty simple rules: no kids at gigs. ‘We have a atmate who helps us out with the kids at night and even the day gigs. I make it a rule really that they don’t come. They just end up on stage holding your legs (or in my experience pulling your tit out). I took the kids to a gig in Burleigh Heads and lost my 2 year old. I couldn’t ďŹ nd her anywhere. It was so stressful – she was eventually found on stage playing the keyboard. You feel like a really bad mother and everything else just pales in comparison.’ Finding the time to act on inspiration can be a challenge in a busy family setting. The late nights of red wine and chat are replaced by 5.30am starts of cornakes and cuddles. ‘For me, you have to get

it out (a song) really quickly. Because I have a very limited amount of time, with songs, when you walk away from it, you lose the magic, for me anyway. I’ll scrub up a song, but creating the verse, chorus and bridge need to be done all at the same time when I am feeling passionate.’ Hitch a ride on the Love Bus and support the Whales at the same time. Sunday at the Hotel Great Northern.

Sunday at the Suffolk Park Community Hall from 12.30pm for 2 hours. $25/20 with bookings through ACE 6684 3374

ii BLEACH BABY BLEACH BABY It was the gig that was bound to happen. DJ’s congregating and choosing to play music that you may actually want to listen to. Now I am being a bit cheeky, as I am not necessarily a huge dance fan and do prefer music with more indy licks. Bleach is the name of the Friday night sound session with DJ’s Scoota, Stevie Starz and DJ Wanker. For just $10 you can hear these guys’ remix their fave alternative rock tunes. Be there on Friday from 9pm.

ii A VERY SPICY RACK He’s the guy you most don’t want to put his shirt on. Rootsy and Cutesy, Mason Rack is building quite a following, particularly of women. It’s not just his toned pecs that they admire, it’s those rock hard abs. Ok, the music is pretty damn ďŹ ne as well. He plays the Beach Hotel on Sunday. Pop in for a perve, sorry, I mean listen.

original compositions and live show entrances this is a reminder that the truly most inspirational instrument is the human voice. The Joy is as infectious as a sneeze in an elevator. The Cafe at the Gate of Salvation! This acappella choir ďŹ nds that beat right at the heart of the movement toward political and spiritual freedom. This unusual aggregation of souls ďŹ rst gathered in 1986, and now, The CafĂŠ of the Gate of Salvation currently numbers over 30 members, some of whom have sung with the choir since its inception. Equally comfortable in a funky nightclub, church or formal classical music venue, the choir appeals to a range of audiences no matter their musical or religious preference. The strength of their soloing provides another element that distinguishes the CafĂŠ from other Sydney choirs. Musical Director, Tony Backhouse, whose passion is Black gospel and other sacred vocal music, has made several trips to the USA to research Black gospel traditions, studying at Memphis State University, and visiting churches, concerts and rehearsals in New York, Chicago and throughout the South, often himself singing in services and programs. A&I Hall Bangalow, Saturday 25 February. 8pm. $25/20 Doors from 7.15pm.

The disturbing discrimination against the letter Z must be stopped. Just because it’s the last letter in the alphabet, people think they can go around ignoring it. What about E? Lt’s ignor that for a chang and s what happns. What have you got against a poor old Z anyway? Blame America. They started to change words ending in ‘ize’ to ‘ise’ years ago and the

ARTSEVENTS ii FILM: THE BESTIVAL OF THE FESTIVAL Be part of the inaugral Byron Film Festival this week, celebrating the very best of local product. We have more film makers per capita than Hollywood has botox victims, the highest percentage of art workers, outside a capital city. It’s no wonder we are such a creative and dynamic community! (And a little self focused as well...) Saturday is opening night and features David Bradbury’s Raul the Terrible and Kim Kindersley’s The Return of the Whale Dreamers – The Gathering. The festival picks up on the pulse of Byron, reflecting a strong social conscience, focusing on environmental and social justice issues, and of course they also delve into the political. Then there’s the surfing. Which is kind of political, in a blue ambient kind of tubey way. To get on my wave you must get on my wave. Go figure. The week long festival has fourteen sessions of 90 minutes or more screening fifty-five films. There is comedy with the animated film Crooked Mick of the Speewah, Andy Bambach’s A Mile High and Lisa Sharpe’s The Anniversary Gift. On Sunday a whole session titled Out There is packed with cutting edge films.Two other world premieres will be screened at the festival, Richard Mourdant’s Dolphin People and Paul Francis and Peter Scott’s Beyond the Line-up. Check the gig guide for the Community Centre’s comprehensive listings. Sunday to Friday, two sessions daily, 6.30pm and 8.30pm. Awards night on Saturday 25 February with moi as the ample bosomed terse tongued tititlator. To find out more about the festival go to www.bbff.com. au or to book phone 6685 5659.

ii POETRY: YOUR TONGUE IN MY EAR If Music be the food of love, then I’m your bulimic. So, I’m no poet, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the odd rhyme. Dangerously Poetic resume their monthly readings on Sunday at the Bangalow RSL Hall in Station Street. Kathryn Riding, professional actress and poet shares some steamy romantic renditions that will have you trembling

with anticipation. Fortunately there will be lashings of tea and cake to suppress those awakened desires. Susan Hayward, soloist with Allegro Gone Troppo is promising to beguile the audience with song and poems and Ann Bernauer, singer of dysfunctional love songs will have you screaming: ‘If you leave me can I come too?’ Also joining the bill is Janie Conway, a member of the renowned rock band Stiletto and now a poet and lecturer in writing at SCU. There is an open section so bring your love poems to share to make the heart zing. From 1.30pm.

ii WOMEN’S FESTIVAL: MY BODY IS BEAUTIFUL The whole woman festival is on again, cleverly encapsulating the Gold Coast to Byron in a comprehensive program of workshops, informative keynotes, comedy and arts, debate and information exchange. This festival takes feminism to a contemporary level, incorporating and including the politics of our suffragette sisters with our everyday challenges. In their gorgeous program, participants are asked to share a little of their bodies. It’s the best way I’ve seen to get you reading a program from cover to cover. Let me share one of my favourite entries from local celebrant, Zenith Virago: ‘My body is beautiful because I am in it, a woman and alive. At 49 it is healthy, active and still good for most things. It is capable of the most sublime sensations, has strength and stands its ground. It has the wear and tear of a life lived, it has miraculously borne babies, fed them, bled every month, consumed food and expelled what it doesn’t want. It’s weathered the hard knocks, enjoyed lovers, adventures and solitude. This has been a good body, I love it and I will leave it behind with much gratitude as it has been my home.’ Zenith joins International Best Selling Author, Stephanie Dowrick presenting ‘The Art of Living Consciously’ at the Byron Community Centre on Friday 10 March.

LEARNING LATIN

So why not paint it? If you haven’t stood there naked, or well semi nude, and felt the ticklish end of Zen Player’s brush then you are missing out on a unique North Coast Experience. This Saturday sees a comprehensive Arts Festival, celebrating the vibrancy of our creative culture. The Arts Factory, from 9am.

ii COMEDY: ANYONE FOR PENIS? I love the Puppetry of the Penis. It’s insane. Two blokes and their tackle and some pretty daring moves. How does a man turn his member into the Hamburger? Or the windsurfer? What kind of training do you need to do to pull off a wrist watch...and is it running on daylight savings. It’s the kind of thing that boys do in their bedrooms when coming to terms with the glorious oddity nestled between their thighs. This is a reclaim the cock type of event, and curiously de-sexualised the whole area, creating an evening of good old fashioned fun. This is the kind of show I’d take my Nanna to. She is blind. Not for the faint hearted or the short sighted. Puppetry of the Penis. Comedy, dick tricks and sheer scrotal amazement!! I’ll be there giving the boys a little comic relief. Thursday 23 February at the Hotel Great Northern.

DANCINĂ• NIGHTS

MIKE MONDAY i UK producer Mike Monday has been pumping out killer house productions for years with iDJ Mag called him ‘the remixers remixer’ and rating him up there with Jacques Lu Cont. Back in the day, Mike remixed Bizzare Inc, Art of Noise and Delacy, and more recently U2 and Wonderland Avenue. Mike is making the most of his recent success, touring Russia with Ministry of Sound, launching the Playtime Club in Paris and heading to Australia to get danceoors moving. You’re a classically trained pianist and bassoonist, what inuence does this have on your music? Do you think traditional music training is being disregarded by todays DJ’s and dance music producers? I don’t think it is being disregarded, as a lot of the top dance producers are classically trained. My classical training is just another string to my bow, when I left Uni where I studied music, I still had an enormous amount to learn about writing music and about production methods. I’m still learning every day as much as I ever was, it’s about building your skills to the highest possible level. The more you learn about anything, art, music, politics, life, whatever, all feeds into the creative process if you are open to it.

When you were in beat foundation with Andy Cato of Groove Armada, you took a live show to the clubs land where, I’d assume, a live show then meant a DJ pumping his ďŹ st in the air. How was it pushing the boundaries of what people expected? Were there other people doing a similar thing at this time? At ďŹ rst there was a mixture of curiosity and bewilderment. This was nearly 10 years ago, so there wasn’t much of the technology around today which makes life much easier, so we had to take a computer and all the synths and samplers into clubs, and people would often come up and ask what we were doing. I used to work the computer, and would get a crowd of people behind me watching me pressing buttons to bring the kick drum or whatever. It worked brilliantly, I think a lot of punters really responded to the live element in the clubs, especially when our percussionist, Patrick used to get out an enormous frying pan and bang it like a loon! Orbital were really the pioneers in the live dance thing. I remember the ďŹ rst time I saw them I was blown away. They didn’t really use live instruments, it was more sequencer based. We were different in that we had vocals, sax, guitar, bass, keys and the studio stuff. I don’t

think there was another band that did quite the same thing in combining the sequenced and live elements on the spot at that time.

now being misused! ‘Funky house’ has to be one of my most hated expressions, as most ‘funky house’ is anything but funky. If you listen to the music of Parliament or Prince you will know what I mean. I also love humour in music. Sonny Rollins is a great hero of mine on the sax, while most people focus on Coltrane as the greatest tenor sax player ever, I always gravitated towards Sonny, as his music has a lightness and sense of humour that really appeals to me. So I suppose you waould sayt that the two constants have been funny and funky.

What was the idea behind starting your label Kinky Vinyl? It was mainly to get an outlet for my material, and to sign some of the music that I was being sent and ďŹ nding on my travels. At the time that I started Kinky with the Whoop! boys, much of the underground music around I found very dull, and wanted to start a label which would put out something different. How’s your Playtime night going? It’s going great guns at the moment. Big Daddy, the other promoter and resident is an Aussie and many of our regulars are Aussie. This obviously ends up in a very relaxed and ‘up for it’ atmosphere. Also our music policy for the last 2 years has been to push the new electronic house sound that’s been breaking through, and in the last 6 months it seems to have caught on everywhere else, so we feel vindicated. As a result we are getting a lot of interest in the club and have just agreed to do 4 dates taking over the bar at Ministry, where we can book whoever we want, as well as continuing our

monthly residency at Egg, London. We have also started Playtime records, which is an outlet for the kind of music you would hear at the club. We have a great little family of producers and DJs such as myself, King Roc, Cass & Mangan and The InsigniďŹ cant Others who all DJ at the club, and we remix and play each other’s stuff, and Playtime is proving to be a great outlet for a lot of this music. You’ve produced and remixed over 100 songs. What remains constant in your inspiration and technique? The common thread through all my work I would have to say is the funk. But I’m not talking about the word as it’s

What tracks are you working on at the moment? I’m working on an 8 track ep for Playtime, which will be aimed squarely at the danceoor, and showcase the various side of my underground house sound. I’m also working more long term on an artist album, which at this stage has no house music on it. It’s much more a home listening thing, and explores the areas of my early inuences from P-funk to Prince. I want it to ‘explain’ where I have come from as a producer. I am also working with Stretch on a debut Paradise Soul album which is going great guns and should be completed mid 2006. Electronic music has been

split into many sub genres. Does the pigeonholing of artists and songs stie creativity? I think so. It’s an easy way to make people quickly understand what an individual tune or record is about, but then to expect any artist to solely produce music in that genre is ridiculous. Many dance producers do this, but I couldn’t, I would get too bored. I don’t listen to and enjoy one narrow subdivision of music, so how can I fully express myself in one genre? What sort of set will you be busting out with at Play? Can we look forward to a live sax solo? A lot depends on the crowd. But I will be playing the music that excites and inspires me at the moment, I deďŹ nitely won’t be playing a string of club hits or anything like that. You’ll also deďŹ nitely hear some of the new productions and remixes I’ve recently ďŹ nished and which haven’t been heard anywhere else. But I can conďŹ dently say that on this occasion I won’t be dusting down my sax, you’ll have to wait til I tour my album for that nugget of aural pleasure!

SHADOWS OF TIME

MUNICH

Shadows Of Time is set in India before independence. For Ravi and Masha, who are forced to work as child laborers in a carpet factory in the countryside near Calcutta, it is the beginning of a tragic love story. Realizing that money determines whether one is free or enslaved, the ambitious and resolute Ravi works his way up from common worker to best carpet knotter, with just one goal – to leave the factory behind him. Learning that the factory owner plans to keep Masha for himself, Ravi sacriďŹ ces all his savings to buy Masha’s freedom. As she leaves, Masha promises to wait for him in Calcutta’s biggest Shiva temple at every full moon. Years later, after having earned enough to buy his way out, Ravi becomes a carpet seller and rises to prosperity. Somehow fate prevents them from ďŹ nding each other. Although they marry others, whose affections they return, they keep their true love for one another. When they unexpectedly meet again, they enjoy a few moments of bliss before their love threatens to destroy them. Time passes, casting its shadows on the old and the new, the changing and the unchanging, the never-ending cycle of love... “Beautifully ďŹ lmed‌ Surprisingly affectingâ€? (-The Melbourne Age)

Reprisal begets reprisal. Steven Spielberg always gives priority to story, never allowing issues to muddy his narrative. It’s an approach that regularly sees his populism derided as shallowness. But he involves you directly and immediately. Here it is with Avner (Eric Bana) and his gang of Mossad operatives whose task is to ďŹ nd and kill the Palestinian terrorists responsible for the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It’s barbaric but adventurous work and you are with the boys on their moral crusade. Then the line between just and unjust gets blurred. Avner doubts. Spielberg maintains his belief in the sacrosanctity of family, (sharing food is also a constant motif), but his optimism has faded over time and with it has gone his reluctance to confront horror. There are deeply disturbing moments, including the cold-blooded shooting of a woman who, so pitiably, picks up her cat for comfort as the life drains from her naked body. The ďŹ lm’s even-handedness will annoy ossiďŹ ed ideologues, as hunters become hunted and the festering sore that is Israel/Palestine is bluntly but inextricably linked to 9/11. John Campbell

WALK THE LINE The opening shot, of Folsom Prison inmates stomping and clapping in anticipation of the appearance of Johnny Cash, is the most stirring introduction to a ďŹ lm that I can recall. From there the story is told in ashback and, though formulaic, it rises above the mundane thanks to superb performances and the vitality of its music. Most importantly, it is not hagiography. The Man in Black is shown warts and all, a frequently weak and tormented character with a propensity for hurting those dearest to him that was equalled only by his talent for writing a great tune. Joaquin Phoenix immerses himself in the role and, if his voice lacks the timbre of Cash’s, his singing is more than workmanlike, starting out as acceptable but ending up as entirely convincing. As June Carter, his abiding love and, ultimately, his salvation, Reese Witherspoon is magniďŹ cent. All of the signature songs are featured as well as a barnstorming rendition of Dylan’s ‘It Ain’t Me Babe.’ Everyone is occasionally entitled to abandon objectivity – I did during scene one. This movie is exuberant, frank and forgiving, and I loved it to bits. John Campbell

25 CHILDE ST, BYRON BAY 6685 7144 Fully licensed MAGIC INDOOR/OUTDOOR DINING

In the red

Ho r a t i o Bi t e m a r k

We were ‘mucking about in boats’, as Kenneth Grahame would have it. More speciďŹ cally, we had the restored African Queen, from the 1951 moving picture of the same name, out in the Bay near Middle Reef and we were dangling lines languorously. Tosser Digby had salvaged the remains of the tramp steamer from ďŹ ve fathoms off the Florida keys and had it lovingly restored to its former squalor. Likewise in the tradition of the steamer’s captain Charlie Allnut, played by Humphrey Bogart, we were putting away gin at a solid rate, though combined with tonic water in elegant glasses. There was noone to play Katherine Hepburn’s morally uplifting evangelical role, but we imagined in the distance a parish priest urging his ock on to greater effort for the lamington drive. Abbotsleigh, the duffer, had a 12 pound line attached to his big toe, and almost lost said toe overboard and the rest of the anatomy attached when a mighty tug came upon it from a piscatorial personage. It took four of us to prevent Abbotsleigh’s dunking and to haul back. It was a wonder the line held at all when we saw the catch we landed. It was a coelacanth, terribly unseasonable for these waters, to the point of being unknown. As you will recall, the coelacanth is a mighty ďŹ sh, overendowed with ďŹ ns, which left its autograph in the fossil record from around 360 million to 80 million years ago, when it did a bunk, much to the confusion of fossil chappies. It was believed extinct until 1938 when Hendrik Goosen, captain of the Nerine, trawled one aboard off the mouth of the Chalumna River near the port of East London, South Africa. The captain presented the specimen to Miss Marjorie Courtenay Latimer of the local museum. Eventually the ďŹ sh was named (Latimeria chalumnae) in honour of Miss Courtney-Latimer who, incidentally, lived to the embalmable age of 97, ďŹ nally expiring in 2004 after a long and saucy correspondence with our chap Bosworth, who had courted her in the 1950s. It was later that a population of the ‘living fossil’ was discovered off the Comoros Islands, between Africa and Madagascar. Our fossil was no longer living and in any case would have been pining for its confreres if it had drifted all the way from the Indian Ocean. We found safe harbour

at Brunswick Heads and threw the brute onto the back of a Bentley truck. Back at the Myocum Clubhouse Chef, inspired by an inebriated discussion of cooking with wine with the divine Miss Cosford, created Steamed Coelacanth Au Chardonnay. You will need olive oil, onions, basil, crushed tomatoes, garlic, ďŹ sh stock, zucchini, coelacanth ďŹ llets and a decent slug of Belongil Solid Gold Sand Lobe Chardonnay. If you don’t have a coelacanth hanging about the house, any other ďŹ rm white steamable ďŹ sh will do. Warm up a sautĂŠ pan over medium heat, add oil, chuck in chopped onion and garlic and allow to go clear. Add the chardonnay and allow to boil for about one minute to burn off the alcohol (dashed shame, what, but that’s cuisine for you). Add the ďŹ sh stock and tomatoes and return to a boil. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips and add to the boiling sauce. Season ďŹ llets with salt and pepper. Lay on top of sauce and cover. Steam for ďŹ ve to seven minutes depending on thickness of ďŹ sh. Place ďŹ llets in shallow bowl, dividing the sauce between the bowls. Decorate with whatever green vegetation strikes your fancy and your taste. You might also care to serve this over rice and deďŹ nitely with large lashings of unneutralised chardonnay. ‘Who’da thought a chap’s big toe could be so useful?’ said Abbotsleigh between mouthfuls of coelacanth. We could do naught but agree and toasted his prowess at ‘toeing the line’ but doubted it was about to become a practice with the local ďŹ shing club.

Cooking with grog

Federal

Vi c t o r i a C o s f o rd Standing at the stove with a glass of wine at elbow is one way of cooking with grog, but in this instance it is the other way which enthuses me. (Enthuses me equally, I could add.) The addition of alcohol to a dish ushers in a whole host of exciting avour possibilities too numerous for one small column to propose; I will instead offer some ideas for ways in which even one jaded cook may reinvigorate his repertoire. Consider the choices. Wine, of course, has been used for centuries, and the term ‘cooking wine’ is still delivered with a measure of irony and the mute understanding that for every slosh into the pot there is a nip for the slosher. I once worked with a chef called Georgio who, whenever the kitchen slowed down or he simply felt bored, would insert one ďŹ nger into his cheek, extract it with a tiny explosion then exclaim ‘Champagne all round!’ before splashing more cooking wine into his coffee mug. Wine contributes a new layer to the taste of food, and should always be allowed several simmering minutes in which to work its magic. A sauce or a stew demanding both wine and tomatoes should always receive the former before the latter in order not to let the tomatoes take over but instead be graced with the vinous perfume. I have often read that you should only cook with a wine you would respectably drink and yet have found on the contrary that cheap quaffable wines work every bit as well. Who in their right mind would squander a $30 Pinot in a recipe insisting on it? Pretentious nonsense – and how many could taste the difference anyway? But aside from wine, what fun to be had from a cocktail cabinet! Riso Martini is a gorgeous faux risotto requiring cooked Arborio rice which is toppled into a sauce of – so simple – blue cheese melted in cream, stirred until the sauce is all absorbed then blitzed with a generous slurp of vermouth. When the vermouth is absorbed the rice is ready, creamy and delicate and only barely blue. Zest two lemons and soften them in melted butter for several minutes before splashing in vodka, a soupcon of tomato concentrate, a little crushed chilli and some creme fraiche through which to fold strands of eggy fettuccine. Deglaze with port a pan in which you have sautĂŠed oured medal-

lions of pork, extend with a little chicken stock then pour over the meat for something far too glamorous for all that simplicity, and serve with a fresh mango chutney. Soak raisins overnight in more port then add to quickly pan-fried prawns, spanish onions, a toss of balsamic vinegar and lots of freshly chopped parsley for a surprising seafood salad. Poach salmon ďŹ llets in a wok of trembling red wine and thyme sprigs then serve on top of buttery wilted spinach and button mushrooms. Or – your best party trick yet – quickly sear some eye ďŹ llet steaks, whack in the brandy then ignite, and when the conagration has died down (watch your eyebrows) pour in cream, a dash of Worcestershire Sauce and a handful of green or pink peppercorns. Old-fashioned Pepper Steak, enduringly delicious, will still make your guests gasp. The glories of grog‌ now where’s that Salitage, Sanders...

NORTH COAST BAMBOO I like Bamboo. I like it so much that I grow, transplant, cultivate and propagate it. The magical qualities of bamboo means that it could save the planet if only the governments and politicians weren’t so concerned with propping up the coal and oil industries. It can be used for fuel, building, furniture, paper, tools, piping, artistry, musical instruments, clothing, medicine and food. It is versatile with a short growth cycle and is the fastest growing plant on the planet. Though best of all it stops erosion and looks great around the house and property. So if you want in on the best kept secret in gardening call Aron on 6684 8053

RAINBOW POWER COMPANY The commercial environment both in our industry and the broader market has undergone a radical change over the 20 year history of Rainbow Power Company. Solar energy is no longer confined to a fringe market of space-age techno-hippies. More recently the exponential rise of internet has expanded the whole market right across the planet and completely distorted the relative value of traditional business strengths. Information provided on a website has become the primary motivation in a customer’s choice. This reality is reflected in the search engine results where diversity of site information equals site visibility and customer traffic. Rainbow Power Company has operated in all sectors of the renewable energy equipment market being distributor, wholesaler, retailer, installer, designer, manufacturer, trainer and consultant for a variety of technologies from many manufacturers.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Brunswick boat crew’s winning streak

The Hotel Brunswick Surf Boat is powered by Matthew Went, Greg White, Baden East, Luke Alexander and swept by Stewie White (pictured above). Luke is the newest member of the crew who, having only just gained his bronze medallion, replaces Matthew Lesson who has moved to Brisbane. After only being together since the middle of last season, they put in a strong performance at the recent NSW

Country Championships at Woolgoolga in a moderate surf, winning a well deserved silver medal. After six rounds of the North Coast boat Series they were leading the competition heading into rounds seven and eight at Crescent Head last weekend. Another excellent performance from this crew saw them come second in Saturday’s race and first in Sunday’s, and also winning the Dash for Cash. Rounds

The real Sturt Coleman

Just to prove that we are not infallible, we printed a terrific photo last week of a runner in the Queen’s Baton Relay and captioned it ‘Sturt Coleman’ when it was not, in fact, Sturt at all. Sturt had just handed the baton to Alan Preston from Byron Bay, who was the man in our photo; apologies all round. Sturt Coleman is definitely pictured above (left) with his father Barry in his official relay uniform. Unfortunately due to the usual media bun fight at the relay, JD was unable to get any other photos of the runners despite his best efforts.

nine and ten will be held at Woolgoolga in March. And the wins keep on coming, with the crew winning a gold medal at the branch championships held at Kingscliff last weekend. The masters crew was also successful with a very hard fought bronze medal. The club wishes the boat crew boys and all other competitors the best of luck at the Australian Titles in Kurrawa in late March.

Shem Aitken at Bay Street Reserve, Byron Bay, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far, the usual faces have resurfaced, but anyone new to the area who is looking for a game is welcome to attend. The loss of last year’s best and fairest player Graham Hayworth will be a huge blow for the club, but it is too early to know yet who will be back and who won’t; that’s

The Australian Tarmac Rally scene kicked off for 2006 last week with the Porsche Mount Buller Sprint, and local rally co-driver Peter Burrey headed to Victoria with driver Russell Kempnich to tackle the mountain. After finishing 2005 with an impressive sixth outright and first Australian team home against over 200 vehicles in Targa New Zealand, the pair chose the Buller Sprint with a field of 130 cars as an ideal start to the new season, and a chance to test the Porsche GT3. ‘Although we were outclassed by higher horsepower

cars with 4WD, our 16th outright was pleasing,’ said Peter. ‘It’s a great way to start the rally year, and although it is just the one stage of 16 kilometres competed over eight runs, it is very demanding, and by the end you certainly know you have had a serious drive.’ Peter, who is being sponsored by Byronbay-Online. com, will swap teams this weekend, being called up by Higgins Racing to contest Rally Tasmania in a Mitsubishi Evo6. The GT3 is not ready for Rally Tasmania, so this will be a one off ride for Peter with old partner Mar-

tin Higgins. Peter will be back in the GT3 for Targa Tasmania in April. Tarmac rallying is currently enjoying a boom around the world and is bound to continue to grow in popularity. This is demonstrated by Subaru Australia, who decided not to contest the dirt Australian Rally Championship rounds this year, but instead contest all events in the tarmac series as a development year, with more teams sure to follow. If you’d like to follow Rally Tasmania, you can do so on the net at www.rallytasmania.com.au.

Junior Magpies are in full flight

Brunswick Valley Soccer Club kicks off Training for the 2006 season started for Brunswick Valley Soccer Club last week at Pine Ave, Mullumbimby and will continue every Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm. There will also be an official sign-on day at 1pm on Saturday February 18 at the same venue featuring trial games with a barbecue and social gathering after the final whistle. All former and new players are invited to attend both training sessions and the sign-on day. There are still some coaching positions available at the club, so whatever your coaching style, whether flamboyant and Armani-clad like Jose Mourinho or dour and tracksuit–clad like Sir Alex, the club needs you! Interested parties are asked to contact Chris during business hours on 6680 5866.

Byron Magpies hoping for a comeback This is usually the time to say that pre-season training has commenced to defend the flag, but after missing the final for the first time in seven years last season, we have nothing to defend but a lot to prove, not only to ourselves but to the clubs that think the reign of the Magpie has come to an end. Training has started under the guidance of new coach

the way it is with the Magpies. The first game this season is on April 1 at Casino, and we look forward to starting off on the right foot. If you require further information about the club or how to join, please contact George Pike on 6684 1454, or the coach Shem Aitken on 0428 998 022. Let’s hope we can get back on top in 2006.

The 2006 Far North Coast Junior AFL season is shaping up to be the biggest and best since the league’s inception in 2000. Following the success of the Sydney Swans in 2005, enthusiasm for AFL in the region is at an all time high. Last year was also a very successful one for the Byron Magpies (pictured above). The U12’s finished the season

Crankin Byron Bay Boardriders

as undefeated premiers and the number of players in all age groups increased. This season the Magpies will be fielding teams in the U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16 age groups. The key focus of the club will be the development of all our players’ skills, sportsmanship, teamwork and the fun and enjoyment of playing footy.

Byron Magpies Junior AFL Club extends a warm invitation to all interested mums, dads and kids to become involved and join the club. Sign-on for the 2006 season is being held at Shultz Oval in Bangalow on Saturday February 18 between 11am – 2pm. For further information please contact Ean Jones on 6687 2166.

Sports Roundup with Alex McAuley Ericson impressive at Billabong Pro-Teen

Byron Bay’s Ellis Ericson surfed a great round three heat at the Billabong Pro Teen Series held on the Gold Coast recently. Trailing for most of the heat, Ericson finished off strongly in the last five minutes, posting two good scoring rides to go into second place behind Sunshine Coast surfer Tom Stubbs and advance to round four. The Gold Coast competition is the first of the five event Pro-Teen series which comprises the ASP Australasian junior circuit and offers the winner a prestigious wildcard slot into the trials of the Billabong Pro WCT event in Tahiti in May as well as $60,000 in prize money. Sunshine Coast surfer Julian Wilson was the eventual winner of this first leg of the series. Photo Steve Robertson

The Byron Youth Activities Centre plans a new zine and wants people aged 12 to 25 for the editorial committee and others to write articles, take photos, draw cartoons, share jokes, and review music or movies. If this sounds like you, give Andy Parks or Ellie Renard a call on 6685 5775. It’s a great way to get started in the publishing business which, as any Echo drudge will tell you, is more fun than wrestling koalas in a vat of treacle. â– â– â– â– The state of Mullumbimby’s sewerage system was always an expensive disaster waiting to happen (see news story). It is a system built to cope with a small town population and is now overwhelmed by growth and anarchic domestic plumbing additions. In another example of bleeding local councils of resources, the state government has reduced its subsidy for sewage plant construction, so we wouldn’t be surprised if at some time all the Mullum ratepayers connected to the sewer get whacked with a levy to help pay for the upgrades. â– â– â– â– Our Comment this week points out the baby boomers are taking over the north coast. We suggest that they be extra nice to the younger generations – they’ll be the ones operating the retirement homes and welfare services, not to mention dealing out the drugs. â– â– â– â– In the lead-up to the 2007 state election, we can expect a mindless law-and-order auction from both Iemma and Debnam. To put it in perspective, ďŹ gures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics show that major crime is at its lowest level in 15 years. Homicide has fallen by 50% and robbery with a ďŹ re-

Dahlias might be the prize attraction at the Coorabell Flower Show, but vegetables are fun too. This enigmatic eggplant might inspire locals to enter something in the freak vegetable section, or even put together a vegetable diorama. A new category this year is the best dressed scarecrow. Give Worzel Gummidge a break from the vegetable patch and treat him to a night out. Rock up to Coorabell Hall on Saturday February 25. For more information call Sue on 6687 1099. Photo Peter King

arm is down 41%. The big problem is domestic violence and no amount of special squads with stun guns is going to stop that. â– â– â– â– A reader pointed out to us that Japan is experiencing a glut in whale meat and it is about as popular with diners as broccoli in a school canteen. ‘To put it simply, whale meat tastes horrible,’ said Kosuke Nakamura, a diner at a Hana No Mai restaurant in Tokyo. See the full story at www.salon.com/wire/ap/ archive.html?wire=D8FLP UN01.html. The downturn in the whale meat market might put off some of the ‘scientiďŹ c’ slaughter in the southern oceans. â– â– â– â– Money doesn’t buy you happiness (or love) so perhaps it’s no surprise that our poverty-stricken electorate of Richmond is one of the happiest in Australia. A Deakin University survey published in the SMH on Monday asked people in all 150 federal seats about their standard of living, health, relationships, what they are achieving in life, safety, community connection and future secu-

rity. Queensland’s Wide Bay (Maryborough, Hervey Bay and Gympie) came top of the list and Richmond was second nationally and top in NSW. Both electorates have much lower average incomes than the most miserable area

in Australia, Grayndler in Sydney. To emphasise the point, well-off Sydney suburbs featured in ďŹ ve of the ten most disgruntled electorates. â– â– â– â– According to news reports, the United States of Paranoia intends to spend $US463 billion in its 2007 military budget, with $US50 billion going into Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s billion, not million – what an obscene waste. If America put some of that money into aid programs around the world instead, it would create an immense feeling of goodwill and do more to end terrorism than all its smart bombs ever will. But no, it will lay waste its resources at home and abroad and fall by the wayside as China and India begin to flex their newly buffed muscles (no mixed metaphors were harmed in the making of this sentence).
