Flood plans for North Ocean Shores in doubt Michael McDonald Flood mitigation plans for the north of the Shire have been thrown into doubt with recent news of a planned $240 million tourist resort at Wooyung in Tweed Shire. According to Mayor Jan Barham, Tweed Council had not alerted Byron Shire to the fact the resort might go ahead while Tweed was complaining to the local government minister about possible effects on cane land of the Kallaroo Circuit Bund at North Ocean Shores. Mayor Barham said that since the disaster-declared floods affecting the northern part of the Shire in June/July 2005 and January 2006, Council has been working with state government authorities to identify the best solution to protect properties and the environment. ‘In May this year, Tweed Shire Council threatened to sue Byron Shire Council over the flooding, blaming the Bund at Kallaroo Circuit in South Golden Beach for increasing flood impacts on cane lands in Tweed Shire,’

Cr Barham said in a press release. ‘Both Councils have asked the Minister for Local Government to see if the dispute can be resolved without litigation. ‘Byron Shire Council was very concerned that Tweed’s approach risked wasting ratepayers’ funds that could be better spent on solutions.

‘Not informed’

ronment and Conservation have been working with Byron Shire Council to identify and seek agreement on alterations to the Bund that will protect property and the environment. Additional flood information has been collected, modelled and analysed. The results have pointed towards modifications to the Bund that everyone, including Tweed Shire Council, agrees could be better than those that the councils came up with in 1996. ‘The value of all this work is now in doubt, because of what is potentially a major impact on flooding in the catchment – approved by Tweed Shire Council,’ said Cr Barham. ‘This raises serious concern for Byron Shire Council regarding possible damages arising from flooding that may affect our assets or residents caused by the Wooyung development.

‘Tweed Shire Council had not informed Byron Shire Council that it had approved a major development at Wooyung in 1988 that did not adequately address flooding impacts in the catchment, and did not tell this Council that the matter was before the Land and Environment Court seeking a determination that the development consent had not lapsed. While complaining to the Minister, Tweed Shire Council knew this development might be resurrected by the Land and Environment Urgent assessment ‘Tweed Shire Council Court, and this is exactly needs to do its own flood what has happened.’ The NSW Departments of assessment urgently, before Natural Resources and Envi- this development gets off the ground.’ Byron Shire Council will consider a confidential report on the matter at its meeting on Tuesday this week. Queensland developer the Samtay Group is seeking partners for the development at its 80ha site off Wooyung Road, which it bought last year for $5.5 million at a mortgagee auction through its 50% interest in JMS Capital Pty Ltd. Samtay chief, Gold Coast businessman Cameron Davis, said, ‘We are very keen to see The Bangalow A&I Hall was packed last Thursday for the annual Wooyung reach its true ‘Wrapped in Bangalow’ fashion parade, which this year raised

Cancer awareness in pink blitz

Three positive role models Barb Pinter, Judy Sunshine and Francis Lamont told of each of their journeys through breast cancer and back to health. These courageous women spoke to the crowd (men and women) who’d come to help plant a ‘Mini Field of Women’ in Railway Park on Monday. The Byron gathering was one of 140 around the country which used small sponsored pink silhouettes of women to focus attention on early detection of breast cancer and raise money for the My Journey kits available to people in their first year of the disease. The Railway Park event was organised by the Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group which meets on the third Wednesday of each month at the Senior Citizens Hall in Marvel Street, from 12.30pm to 2.30pm. MC Mandy Nolan brought two of the Shire’s most high profile breasts, violinist Cleis Pearce brought a hauntingly beautiful tone to the rally. Photo Jeff ‘Feeled Of Women’ Dawson

Climate change momentum building

Al Gore’s global warming movie An Inconvenient Truth hits town on Thursday November 2. North Coast Climate Action Group (NCCAG) and the Rainforest Information Centre have purchased tickets for both the 6.30pm and 8.30pm sessions as a fundraiser. Tickets are $15 and $12 concession and can be purchased now from Santos stores at both Mullum and Byron. The film will be screened at Byron Cinemas. ‘Join us for the premiere screening and let’s talk about solutions,’ said NCCAG convenor Gayle Russell. ‘We have some information sheets to guide you on how you can continued on page 2 individually or collectively

start to make a difference on global warming.’ Another event for the calendar is the national ‘Walk Against Warming’ on Saturday November 4 in all the capital cities and some regional areas. Brisbane’s walk will start at 2pm from Queens Park for those who can get there. More details from Georgia 07 5534 8194. NCCAG has decided to organise a gathering on the Saturday November 4 at 9.30am at the Peace Pole, beside the Surf Club, Main Beach. Further info from info@nccag.org or Gayle on 6684 1119. And with Australia now experiencing its most severe

drought on record, Southern Cross University has stepped up its research in the area of climate change. The Centre for Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Coastal Communities was set up last year to provide scientific information and advice on the potential effects of regional climate change on local communities and industries and to seek sustainable solutions. Centre director Associate Professor Graham Jones said while there was a good understanding of global climate change, it was not known what impact this would have on regional and coastal communities around continued on page 4

Further talks planned on brothel Managers of the Byron Entertainment Centre have arranged a public meeting to discuss the impact of the recently approved brothel in the Byron Arts & Industry estate. ‘We are not debating the morality of the brothel,’ said centre manager Rick Hultgren. ‘The issue is, now that the brothel has been approved, federal, state and council law requires DA and activity restrictions for youth for a large part of the new side of the Estate.Thus the atmosphere of the Estate will change.’ Rick and Gayle Hultgren are concerned their business will be affected by the brothel. The Byron Entertainment Centre has a back yard that is directly across the street to the proposed site, and the the owners claim that children will be in a direct line of sight.

Gayle and Rick Hultgren of the Byron Entertainment Centre.

According to Gayle, ‘State law defines it as illegal to have a brothel in view of an area where children are likely to gather or pass by. It is our belief that Council acted outside of the law in approving the development application for a brothel in Wollongbar Street. Council failed to

check if there was any additional information available when the brothel DA came under review six months after the initial application.’ The Byron Entertainment Centre opened May this year, and has approval seven days a week as a recreational facility and Place of Public

Assembly during evenings and weekends. Inside the Centre, Circus Arts Australia runs classes including trapeze, circus, dance, tai chi and Latin fitness classes. The Hultgrens claim hundreds of children are involved. Other events include an alcohol and drug free Earth Dance Party (90% youth), and social dancing every Thursday, among other activities. A swing band is booked for November 12 and there’ will be a circus festival next year. The Hultgrens will be holding discussions on options and strategies concerning the new brothel at the Byron Entertainment Centre, 17 Centennial Circuit., at 10am on Saturday October 28.

Four dead in fatal crash

Four young men are dead and one male left injured, following a car crash on the weekend at Broken Head. About 12.30am on Sunday morning, police from Tweed/Byron Local Area Command responded to reports of a single car crash on The Coast Road. Police attended to find four men dead at the scene. The 17 year old male driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to Lismore Base Hospital for treatment. The deceased are Corey New, Bryce Wells, Paul Mor-

The Wooyung Action Group (WAG) opposed to the development which butts on to the Billininudgel Nature Reserve has reiter-

ated its concerns about the bulldozing of native vegetation and the possible impact of disturbed acid sulphate soils. WAG spokesperson Ms Chris Cherry said, ‘If JMS Capital were interested in creating an “eco-resort� on this site they would also be looking to provide a current environmental impact study. There has never been an EIS done for this development so how would they know if it was eco-friendly? ‘The local community opposes this development, with Tweed Shire Council receiving more than 36 submissions from residents, local business and community groups during the short two week public consultation period.’

It is believed the five youths were travelling south along The Coast Road, in a Holden Commodore, when the vehicle left the road and hit several trees in a nearby embankment. Police are preparing a report for the information of the coroner. Investigations are continuing. Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information is urged to contact Byron Bay Police on 6685 9499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Local News Council staffers get frocked for cancer fundraising Lou Beaumont A mass of pink in all hues collected in the foyer of the Byron Shire Council chambers. The women of Council are in a flurry of pink everything – feather boas, tiaras, summer dresses and of course pink hair dye – as they take direction from Echo photographer Jeff Dawson (not in pink). Naturally, the hottest pink attire was worn by our mayor, Jan Barham. Council staff member, Noreen Scott, came up with the idea of what she called Frock Up Friday to raise funds and awareness for women’s cancer. Noreen said, ‘My colleague Julie Davies hosted a Girls Night In, a Cancer Council initiative which raises funds for women’s cancer. It was a big success but some of us were unable to make it so we wanted to add to their fundraising effort.’ Between the ‘Girls Night In’ and the staff collection from frocking up, the women of Council have raised an about $1,300 for the Cancer Council. Last year was the national launch of Girls Night In and Australian women raised over $975,000 through around 3,000 Girls

Council and my own mother, who have survived various forms of women’s cancer. ‘Last year we made it into the top ten of regional fundraisers after hosting a Girls Night In. ‘This year we have raised $400 more and hope to make it into the top five!’ Jan Barham said, ‘Participating in this pink frock day

is fairly typical of our staff. It’s another effort in their ongoing commitment to raise funds for charities. ‘In the past, they have collectively raised money for the Leukemia Foundation and the Cancer Council during Daffodil Day, to name a just two, and they hold regular raffle days as fundraisers too.’

Young local women tackle the tough issues A group of 15 to 20 young women aged between 13 to 17 years old have been meeting at the Byron YAC every Thursday to develop a script for a performance which reflects their unique experiences of growing up in Byron Bay. The play will be set in a dance class, the young women will be discussing recent and upcoming social events and will include the

themes of bullying, sexual assault, sexual harassment, drugs and alcohol, body image, eating disorders and self respect. The concept originated from Byron High student Caileigh Toupin who became involved at the Byron YAC to help organise the Girls Night In which was held in August. ‘We, teenagers, don’t have enough opportunities to

express our points of view,’ she said. ‘I love acting and I feel there is a gap for young people who have been through the Bright Lights program and want to move onto something more advanced.’ Byron YAC coordinator Belle Arnold said, ‘When Caileigh came to the group with the idea I offered her every encouragement and support. I thought this

sounds like an exciting opportunity for women to express themselves creatively, have their voices heard, workshop through some very serious and heavy issues and share their unique experiences of growing up in Byron Bay.’ The young women meet every Thursday at 4pm at the YAC. Contact Belle Arnold 6685 5775 for more information.

Mullum business pioneer farewelled Lou Beaumont Rob Bridgland, owner of Bridglands and Retravision Mullumbimby, is the last of the family to be involved in the business after the death of his father, Bill Bridgland, two weeks ago. Bill was 84 years old when he passed away after experiencing health difficulties associated with old age. One of seven children, Bill was born and educated in Mullumbimby. He worked in the business, started by his grandfather in 1908, both before and after WWII and formed a partnership with his father and brother in 1955. At one time, Bill and all of his six siblings were involved in the family business. Two of these siblings are still in the area, two are in Sydney and the other two have passed away. Rob said, ‘Now it’s just me and from a business perspective, it feels strange to have lost such a long-term member of the team. I feel like Dad has passed the batten to me. We are probably one of the oldest firms in the Northern Rivers that is still owned by the original family. ‘Dad had such a huge history in the area because he had a business here for so long. He built so many good relationships locally. He could often be seen on the road after hours on his way to repair a television or radio in someone’s home.’ The Mullumbimby store had just picked up Retravision’s Top Store Award for the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers region. Rob Bridgland said, ‘I believe it is very much a team award. Our success is attributed to everyone who works here, from the person who sweeps the floor to the owner.’ Although Bill retired from the business some 25 years ago, Rob consulted his father frequently. ‘My father’s technical expertise was invaluable to me. It will be missed.’ The business has grown several fold in the 15 years his son Rob, along with his wife Lorinda, has been at the helm. Due in part to the population expansion of the area in general, the dramatic growth in business was something that Bill loved to see and was very proud of Rob’s success. ‘During the time Dad was completing his TV and radio repair course there were just six families living in Wilson’s Creek, now there are about seventy, and while the growth of the area is a fundamental reason for our progress, I believe that without our business philosophies the results wouldn’t be the same. ‘We try hard to keep the old fashioned values in our serv-

Bill Bridgland, right, handed over the running of the family store to Rob and Lorinda Bridgland some 15 years ago, but always kept an interest in the business.

ice that my father’s family instilled while keeping up with current trends and maintaining modern shops. We always try to keep the biggest range possible at good prices. So while the more traditional service is key, so too is being competitive and being able to adapt to changes.’ Bill Bridgland will be missed by his family, however, they all share a strong Christian belief that he has gone to a better place. He will also be missed by the Mullumbimby Primary School where he spent a lot of his time.

He was a patient and kind man who voluntarily educated the children in scripture and spent a lot of time helping the children learn how to read. Alex Benham, Principal of Mullumbimby Primary School, added, ‘When Bill was unwell at the beginning of this year, a group of children he once taught made him a get well card. He was a lovely person and the children really miss him. Bill used to set up displays of his war memorabilia from New Guinea which the kids loved.’

Three years ago he was nominated by the school and received the Tweed Heads Ballina Award for Commitment to Public Education. More recently, Bill donated a Wollumbi Pine to the school that he was to plant this weekend. Instead, Rob and his family, together with the school, will plant the tree for him. The donated pine is now a commemoration of the life of Bill Bridgland. Mr Benham said, ‘The pine will indeed be something we will use to remember him and his dedication to the children.’

Film recalls the island fettlers The money must have been good, for they dropped everything and came. In the late 1960s Torres Strait Islander men made the epic journey to the Pilbara in Western Australia to build railways, funded by the mining companies, between remote mines in the desert and ports on the coast. Island Fettlers is the first independent documentary film by indigenous film maker Kelrick Martin, who stopped in at the Byron Cinemas last Thursday as part of his national promotional tour. ‘They were displaced by the pearl diving industry that collapsed, so they came to work on the railways,’ Kelrick told The Echo. ‘Although there were many nationalities working on the lines, they [the Torres Strait Islanders] were renowned for their strong work ethic.’

Filmmaker Kelrick Martin and Erica Glynn, who is Project Manager for the indigenous section of the Australian Film Commission.

According to Kelrick, the men held the world record for laying tracks, surpassing the American Santa Fe record. ‘They laid 400kms in six months, and the record was 11km in one day!’ says Kelrick.

The film centres around Tom Saylor, who was one of the first wave of Island fettlers. Both he and his youngest son waited over 25 years to embark on a cultural pilgrimage back to the islands

to reconnect, and ultimately realise what it means to be from the Torres Strait. Kelrick’s influences are not necessarily other producers, though he does acknowledge Australians Tom Zubryski and Ivan Sen. ‘I am more influenced by story telling,’ he says. ‘I came from radio, moved into TV and now film. I am influenced by the subjects and people that surround them.’ ‘Being from Broome, I had always had a vague knowledge of the contribution Torres Strait Islanders had made to the Pilbara. Once I researched it further, I learnt about this wonderful story and was very keen to tell it.’ Island Fettlers is now playing at Byron Cinemas as part of the Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival.

Artists to raise funds for NYE entertainment With Council keeping funds to a minimum and the Chamber of Commerce yet to offer financial support, local musicians and artists are offering their talents to raise funds for community entertainment on New Years Eve in Byron Bay. Singer Lisa Hunt will head-

line an event called ‘A Class Act’ at the Byron Environment Centre on Friday December 9. The night will be hosted by Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham and include art, a fashion parade, and theatre as well as music. Other perform-

ers include Tone Broker, Byron Street Tango and Space Cowboy. Fashion designer Diane Roberts is the driving force behind the project. Earlier this year she held a parade night involving a number of local designers of clothing,

jewellery and footwear. Tickets can be booked through the Byron Entertainment Centre website www. byronentertainmentcentre. com.au. Anyone interested in being involved can contact Diane Roberts on 0439 620 041 or 6685 5749.

Coffee planters help to repair creek Story and photo Lou Beaumont The headwaters of Skinners Creek at Newrybar, once a mass of lantana, privet, coral trees and other water clogging weeds, is now as vital and thriving as nature originally intended. The work is a result of an Envirofund project, where any in kind or monetary contribution on the part of the project initiator is matched by the federal government. The area surrounding Skinners Creek, on the boundary of Zentvelds coffee plantation, has taken approximately $23,000 and countless hours to rehabilitate. With encouragement and support from Ballina Council and Richmond Landcare, the Zentvelds set about applying for and gaining funding for the project. June and John Zentveld, owners of the plantation, their family, their staff, and EnviTE (Environmental Training and Employment) volunteers, have all been busy. Their hard work has finally come to fruition. After their proposal was accepted by Envirofund, a plan was drawn up – a guideline for the vast project ahead – and weeding commenced. This was just over a year ago, and already the majority of the creek has

Mr Standfast defies the omens Vol 21 #20

October 24, 2006

Speed still kills ‘Ice’, the latest drug to alarm authorities, is nothing new – it is ‘speed’ in a dangerously concentrated form and should not be regarded as a casual party drug. Lots of young Australians are finding that out to their detriment. Ice or crystal meth is a form of methamphetamine, which was first synthesised in 1919. Its cousin, amphetamine, was fed to troops by the US, German and Japanese military in various major wars. It is still in use by American fighter pilots. In the benevolent way of many major drug companies, the World War II stock of speed was dumped on the open market in various ‘medicinal’ forms. The first speed epidemic occurred in Japan in 1954 with an estimated two million users. The problem manifested in the US in the 1960s when speed became popular among musicians and the Beats and thence the early Hippies. It is about then the slogan ‘Speed Kills’ became widespread. Ice is different from speed and base in that it is about 80% pure, compared to usual 10%-20% purity of other methamphetamines in Australia. Its purity is part of the danger for new users. You can assume the other 20% of the dose is cut by glucose or some dangerous shit. According to the National Drug and Alcohol Centre (NDARC http://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/), some of the unpleasant side-effects of ice that users report include palpitations and chest pains, feeling agitated, anxious or irritable. Other common problems, particularly with heavy use, are relationship and financial problems, sleep disturbances, dental problems, depression and anxiety, withdrawal symptoms and psychosis. The psychosis problem is so great – and a particular danger to police and health workers as well – that the NSW government is setting up five new psychiatric emergency care centres at Campbelltown, Hornsby, Blacktown, Wyong and Wollongong hospitals. It is a shame the north coast is not getting the same attention and that The Buttery’s well-regarded outreach services have just lost their funding. Premier Morris Iemma has also called for a national drug summit on the ice epidemic. In response Anex, the Association for Prevention and Harm Reduction Programs Australia (www.anex.org.au/)and organiser of the recent Australasian Amphetamine Conference, has called for a realistic and comprehensive bipartisan strategy for methamphetamines, not just a talkfest for coordination of policing and law enforcement. Anex cautioned against the politicising of the ice issue as it runs the risk of dumbing down the extremely complicated community and individual-people issues. ‘We are talking about families, individuals and our communities – many of whom are reaching out for realistic services that are often severely under funded,’ says ANEX CEO John Ryan. According to Anex, researchers report that one in ten Australians has tried methamphetamines. Addiction is not immediate and doesn’t necessarily occur on the first use, however a 2005 estimate of the number of methamphetamine users in Australia states there are more than 102,600 regular users, of whom 72,700 are dependent users. You can be sure that residents of the north coast, the country capital of recreational drug use, are among them. It is no longer safe – if it ever was – to casually accept pills from strangers at parties. If you are inclined to do so, please don’t or at least check out the dangers online at http://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/ under ‘On Thin Ice: A User’s Guide’.

n a world of constant flux, it is a comfort to find there is at least one thing that remains as solid as a rock: the mind of dear leader, John Winston Howard. While the winds of change storm all around him, the prime minister stands like Gibraltar, a tower of inertia. And even when he appears to waver, he doesn’t really; it is, as he ponderously informs us, merely an illusion. His truth, once arrived at, is eternal. For example, just last week Howard appeared, for the first time, to acknowledge the now universal scepticism about continuing to push at doors marked pull in Iraq. Asked, yet again, when he would declare the job done and start bringing Australia’s token troop commitment home, he was anything but his usual gung-ho self. Instead of bombast about leaving a haven of peace, freedom and democracy, he set the bar no higher than ‘relatively secure, with a reasonable chance of democracy, if that’s what the bulk of the people want’. Unsurprisingly the commentators pounced: the deputy sheriff was finally reading the mood in Washington, where the push for change, at least of tactics, more likely of strategy and perhaps even of the Bush doctrine as a whole, is now gaining irresistible momentum. But no; Howard explained huffily that he was being taken out of context, that his remarks indicated no doubts and no revisions. His mind was still set in concrete; and in case anyone had any doubts, he was still totally convinced that his decision to join the invasion in the first place was the right one too, so boo sucks.

changed, his basic argument has. These days we don’t hear so much about the great plan to liberate the Middle East, let alone the weapons of mass destruction; it has become more personal. To cut and run, Howard claims, would be to hand Al Qaeda and the forces of terrorism a huge propaganda win and a for midable recr uiting weapon. The United States and its allies simply cannot afford to undergo that sort of humiliation. Well, obviously they would prefer to avoid it; but the

Less reverent suggestions include ‘Snip and hobble’(for cut and run) and ‘dawdle at speed’. No less an architect of defeat than Henry Kissinger is credited with ‘elegant bug out’. The most cynical of all is ‘Declare victory and go home’. Given that Bush has already declared victory more than once, this may have an appeal. Obviously there is still considerable confusion about what the outcome will be, but there is absolutely no doubt that the ground has shifted; which is no doubt why Howard’s blustering response to the sustained opposition attack in parliament last week sounded hollower than usual.

slogan of his alma mater, Sydney University, Mens eadem sidere mutato: Though the fixed stars may change, the mind shall remain the same. But while Howard plays Mr Standfast, the rest of the world is moving on; and while the increasingly impotent George Bush still insists that he will not cut and run, his spin doctors are busily dreaming up euphemisms for just that. Chief among them is the already-mentioned plan to ‘develop a new strategy’. In England Tony

problem is that the invasion, and the continuing occupation have already given Osama bin Laden a propaganda and recruiting tool beyond his wildest imagination. Certainly if – when – the foreign troops pull out it is indeed likely that things will get worse in the short term. But they’ll have to leave sooner or later, and there is no doubt that the longer they stay, the worse things get anyway. Alexander Downer may rabbit on about how the invasion has given Iraqis the right to vote, free vaccinations and more mobile telephones, but all the indications are that they would gladly swap the lot for a bit more safety on the streets, not to mention electricity and running water. What they have now is so close to civil war that the departure

of the occupying forces would make very little difference to large parts of the country. And in any case, what Bush and Howard are worried about is not really the fate of the Iraqis; as was made dismally clear in parliament past week, it is much more about loss of face. Indeed, such was Howard’s self absorption that he placed Australia’s token presence in what remains of the coalition of the willing as its lynchpin, its very reason for being: if Australia pulled out, our Generalissimo opined, why should not America and Britain do likewise? If there was no good argument for keeping the handful of diggers on the ground, then obviously there was no point in the military might of the world’s only superpower and its most powerful ally remaining either. Apart from the breath-taking hubris of this position, it rather overlooks the fact that this was never Australia’s war until Howard declared it to be, and he could undeclare it just as easily. By his logic, it would seem that the Australians will have to stay on even after everyone else leaves. From the noises coming from Washington and London lately, the opportunity to test this thesis may come rather sooner than Howard would like. It is said that a hard line politician once spent a long speech berating John Kenneth Gailbraith, the famous economist and diplomat, for alleged inconsistency: he had apparently repudiated a theory he had held some years earlier. Gailbraith replied coolly: ‘When circumstances alter, I change my mind. What do you do?’ Over to you, Mr Howard.

My late husband, a flight lieutenant, served six years in Bomber Command and took a convoy to Russia in 1942 and finished up in the Islands until peace was declared – after doing his training at Evans Head Airport which was the first training school in Australia, and it also comes under the Heritage listing and it’s sad to see the Richmond Council slowly but surely wanting to take it over, very discreetly of course.

The value of youth I am writing to respond to Terry Newling’s letter in The Echo of October 17 concerning what he perceives as disrespectful youth. I walk through the skatepark at Mullumbimby most mornings and since first discovering its existence I have wondered why this facility was not provided with at least one rubbish bin. It’s true the skatepark is a great resource for our youth and they obviously make great use of it – evident by the large amount of litter surrounding it! Mr Newling points out, ‘Here might be a chance for the leaders in the group to instil in our young people a sense of responsibility for the environment, a respect for public property, and an opportunity to make use of their time in a constructive, community-minded manner.’ I think it’s unfair to blame our

I have notified Council to eradicate groundsel bushes on their own community zoned land, and when nothing was done, I notified North Coast Weed Control who always reliably and efficiently eradicated the groundsel bushes and billed Council for their work. For those that don’t know, groundsel bushes spread their seed in the wind, distributing approximately 900 seeds from each white flower in May each year. Yes, you always know when you’re entering the Byron Shire from any direction; the abundance of weeds along Byron Council roads hide the guide posts.

youth for the current appearance of the grounds, or even their leaders. I think it’s the responsibility of the council to firstly provide waste management resources at youth facilities so that they at least have the opportunity to put their rubbish in the bin, surely this is a community responsibility and one which sets an example for our impressionable youth. In today’s society there seems to be a lot of misdirected anger at youth however, we need to stop and ask ourselves, ‘Do we underrate the value of youth in the community and do we fully provide egalitarian opportunities for them or are we too quick to judge?’ Mr Newling, there are in fact many youth out there who make use of their time in a constructive manner!

Deadly campaign The indefatigable Gareth Smith (Letters, October 17) has managed to beat the Big Press to the punch with his news on the new weapon supposedly used by the Israelis. Maybe he should have added to his information that the Imans and chieftains of how many – sixty, seventy, eighty? – millions in Arab countries are continuing their aggressive campaign of ‘Delenda Judea’, destroy Israel, kill everyone. The campaign, by the way, is now extensively preached to cover ‘death to every Jew in every country’. I never realised that the survival of Islam depended on the continued overleaf

destruction of all of the Jewish faith ! It is difficult to see how Israelis are going to soften their stance against the Palestinians in view of the continuous warfare being waged by them.Yesterday seven new tunnels from Gaza and Egypt were discovered, some quite deep into Israeli towns.The object ? Kill as many civilians as possible and collateral damage be damned! At least the new Israeli weapon is meant to restrict just that. Arab arms keep being filtered through to Palestinians rather than monetary help to develop an infrastructure that will relieve the very low standards of living. It would be gratifying if Gareth Smith would state both sides of the story, unless of course he agrees that Israel must be destroyed. George Franco

Protect foreshore In response to the Department of Lands takeover of Brunswick Heads Crown Reserve caravan parks and foreshore parklands, a new group is being formed to help protect public parkland from inappropriate development. In May this year the Department of Lands (DOL) adopted Plans of Management for Ferry Reserve, before sacking Byron Council as crown reserve manager in July. DOL’s plans change the existing legal boundary of the Ferry caravan park from Riverside Crescent to include 2000m2 of sensitive foreshore land. Council opposed this proposal in March 2005 and voted to support the community preferred option and retain Riverside Crescent as the legal and natural boundary of the caravan park. Open recreational space

along the Ferry riverbank will be transformed into 16 caravan sites by DOL. Boomgates will be erected to close Riverside Crescent and public access to the Ferry boat ramp will no longer be possible. DOL has offered the community no compensation for the loss of public land, roads and facilities. DOL is also reluctant to reinstate the legally required 3m buffer zone along The Terrace foreshore and permanent van sales are again booming. Rehabilitation of the riverbank is clearly not a high priority. Park Management will not remove inappropriate concrete slabs built within the Terrace buffer zone, or move illegal fencing off encroached road reserve land. Traffic and parking problems in The Terrace will continue through the summer holidays again this year. It also appears Park management will continue to permit ‘overflow’ camping on road reserve land, outside the Massey Greene’s legal boundaries, again this Christmas. Illegal signage has not been removed. DOL will be taking a ‘holistic’ approach to foreshore access which suggests concrete pathways and an extravagant boardwalk along the riverbank are back on the agenda. Following the Crown Reserve Information day held earlier this month, and feedback from BHPA’s Issues & Concerns document, community support for the protection of our crown reserve parklands has been overwhelming. The Brunswick Foreshore Protection group will focus on addressing community concerns and will continue to campaign and lobby DOL and Byron Council to ensure our public parklands are maintained and protected from inappropriate

development. Anyone interested in joining us can contact 6680 3163 or email mgrant@smartchat.net.au. Michele Grant

Bypass the motors Why is Tony Narracott still asking for a bypass along Butler street when there has been one there for several weeks now? He just has to get on his bike and he can bypass the town by crossing the railway by the Rails Pub and then get onto the nice new bikeway with its new bridge that will take him as far as Ozigo’s pollution free, that is apart from the horrible petrol driven motors that pass him. With global warming we must all walk more or get on our bikes, it will cut down on

If you want to see a miracle, look into a mirror. And for the best mirror of all try looking at your enemy or those you oppose and criticise, for they reveal much about yourself. By firing off critical word missiles of blame you are effectively shooting your messenger to avoid looking within, and the world goes one more day without meaningful change.

poisonous exhaust fumes, it will keep us fit, it will also save us money in the cost of petrol and new roads. Those of you with bikes come and join the happy crew of all ages who are joining the World Wide Critical Mass who meet the last Friday of every month at 5.30pm and cycle around their town together. In Byron we meet at the peace pole, we wear silly hats on top of our bike helmets and we cycle around the town safely in a big group. We have been doing it for two months now and have had a great reception from onlookers, only a few car drivers seem to be impatient and don’t get the message, most of them wave at us and toot their horns. See you there Friday. Maggi Luke

The broken grail I would like to clarify a point in last week’s cricket article by Brian Mollet regarding the breaking of the hand blown glass goblet which is

the Nick Shand memorial cricket trophy. It was reported that last year’s winning skipper – myself – sheepishly presented the broken trophy to the players in the final, on the day of the final. This could be interpreted in a slightly misleading way, with the impression given that the trophy had met its fate while in my keeping. The facts are as follows. After last year’s victory, custody of the trophy was passed, in turn, to the winning team members for about a month at a time. The last one of the members to take delivery of the trophy had an 18th birthday party a couple of months ago. As the story goes, this person woke up the day after the party to find the trophy broken. Unfortunately, this person kept that news to himself and chose the day before this year’s final to hand the trophy back to me and inform me that it had been broken, leaving me with no option but to present the trophy in its grotesquely transformed state of repair on the day of

the final (he had siliconed the broken shards of the glass goblet together, and claimed that ‘you could still drink from it’). I contacted the maker Colin Heaney ASAP to see if the trophy could be repaired, but alas, to no avail – a new one will have to be made. I am deeply regretful that this happened (as are all the players). I am sure no disrespect was intended towards Nick Shand, in memory of whom the trophy was made. I pulled my hair out all afternoon prior to the final upon discovering the facts. Thankfully, some people saw the lighter side of the story, culminating with this year’s winners, The Geckos, courageously drinking from the cup after victory. Trent Morgan

Letters photo in The Echo of October 17 you’ll know it wasn’t just a branch, it was the whole two trunks of the tree breaking off at the base and falling on my car. Lucky I wasn’t in it. Lucky none of the kids was nearby and noone was walking past. The car is a write-off. I went to Council headquarters straight after it happened. I wrote the whole story down for them. Corporate bodies always like things in writing. Then I went to see them on Tuesday when the right guy was actually there. He was okay, but he says Council’s insurers in Sydney will have nothing to do with trees. No claims regarding trees will be addressed. Apparently they are not negligent even though the nature strip trees throughout Mullumbimby are maintained (or not!) by council workers and subcontractors. So be forewarned, Byron

Shire residents, parking under trees is a risky business, even trees you’ve known for years, trees that live right near you, trees that aren’t your responsibility and that you could get fined for tampering with. If they fall there is no safety net. Noone is liable, noone is accountable, noone is responsible. Swallow your pain and distress, your innocence, the inconvenience and the big financial hardship. There is no redress. Helen Nailon

Play the issue That was a good letter. Guy Fisher, and I basically agree with you about the inappropriateness of overdevelopment in Main arm. But let’s play the issue, not the developer. Is there a way that plans for Main Arm can be reduced without prolonged and expensive court action and a more appropriate level of

development allowed without creating a Main Arm super highway? And also, could you lot up there please slow down and put those environmental and socially cohesive ideas into practice when in your cars?

Michael arrived and within five minutes had captured the snake. All this for a donation – what a fantastic service! Thank you so much to all the WIRES volunteers for doing such a great job.

Thanks WIRES Just wanted to use this space to say a huge thankyou to WIRES and in particular Peter and Michael. Last Saturday afternoon I was confronted by a freaked out brown snake in my bathroom! Realising that it was probably a brown snake and not a pretty green tree snake (and in total panic), I rang Peter for help. He very calmly explained to block the bottom of the bathroom door with a towel and that he would get hold of their Mullumbimby snake handler. Twenty minutes later

Articles Mandy Nolan bangs a drum for the annual Reclaim the Night rally

Women have a right to live free of violence

L

iving without threat of violence is a basic human right. As women, we are born into a culture where the threat of sexual violence is always prevalent. One day a year women come together to celebrate solidarity and communicate the message that we have the right to live our lives, walk our streets and sleep in our beds free of violence. It’s called Reclaim the Night and once a year it allows an often hidden story to gain a voice. Some of you will be thinking, not more feminist twaddle. But contemplate for just one moment the fact that Australian research says one in four girls will be sexually assaulted by the time they are 18. (And one in seven boys). Sit in a group of women and ask the question: who here has been raped or experienced violence? As a young girl of 16 I was raped. My cousin was sexually abused by her uncle. My grandmother told me her story at the age of 82 about how as a teenager she was raped by the owner of the café where she worked. She had never told anyone. It was a secret she had carried almost her entire life. I’ve spoken to lots of women. My family story may sound dramatic, but it’s not. It’s entirely usual and typifies the landscape of sexual abuse that exists on our beaches, in our streets, and in our homes. It is important to assess and be reminded of our community attitudes that ‘normalise’ sexual assault and leave the victims feeling the shame that should be the attributed to the perpetrator. The media have carried many stories this year detailing rape and sexual assault: the pack behaviour of the Bulldogs, the tragic story of the eight year old who was raped and killed in a shopping centre toilet and the hideous and brutal alleged drugging and raping of Dianne Brimble. Even the sexual culture that young women experience in our own area should remind us of the enormity and timeliness of this issue. In a culture with these types of behaviours, women and particularly young women are always ‘at risk’. The first Reclaim the Night rally happened in Rome in 1976. It was a reaction of Italian women to reported rapes reaching astronomical levels. The women say very little action being taken by police, the government or churches and they were so angered they took it out of the shadows and made it a public issue. That first gathering saw 10,000 women take

to the streets and speak out against violence. Later in the UK, during a time when the Yorkshire Ripper was at large, women were being warned to avoid walking alone or dressing provocatively. It would appear the onus not to get raped once again fell on the women. That Reclaim the Night proclaimed that women had the right to dress and walk as they please, able to expect full safety.

K

azza Bird of the Women’s Resource Centre at the Mullumbimby Neighborhood Centre is involved in organising the Byron chapter of Reclaim the Night. She had just spoken with Sharon Brody from the Lismore Sexual Assault Service: ‘Sharon was talking about how we have been searching for solutions to change community attitudes and beliefs for many years. But all of those have focused on women protecting themselves. Now it’s time to take action and ask men to take responsibility.’ Some women I have spoken to about Reclaim the Night recoil in horror when I have suggested that they attend a rally and subsequent march.They cry, ‘But I’m not a feminist.’ Does one need to be of the hairy armpit persuasion to join the action? Kazza laughed: ‘Definitely not, one of the things about sexual violence is it affects every woman and every child because it’s about power. As for the men, we invite them to support us and clap and cheer from the sidelines, and in the bigger picture, we are asking men to take responsibility for men’s behaviour. ‘I guess what presents for some women is that they have to separate from or be separated from their male loved ones. And that seems to be difficult. I sometimes say, it’s the same as a peace rally, that’s what we are demanding, except Reclaim the Night

is about men’s behaviour – it can be that thing about pointing the finger – maybe that’s why some women will go to a peace rally and not Reclaim the Night, but in my view it’s the same demand. We want peace – it’s a basic human right to be free of violence.’ With unreported sexual assaults on the increase for young women in Byron Bay, Reclaim the Night has even more timely significance. ‘We have tried hard to involve young women,’ says Kazza, ‘They can’t independently come on their own, they have parents, so what we tried to do this year, we made contact with Navigate and YAC but it seems to me young women want to do things differently – they don’t necessarily want to line up with us, that’s fine if they want to do their own thing, but it needs to be just as public.’ Kazza credits the use of language around sexual assault with the ‘normalising’ of it as behaviour. ‘I actually reckon it started 20 years ago, we started talking about sexual assault and sexual abuse, it broadens out what we meant by rape and incest. Rape is a much harder word to hear.’

T

here is a long culture of secrecy surrounding sexual assault. ‘Look, it’s massive,’ says Kazza, ‘because when we talk about rape and sexual assault we somehow line that up with the belief that the woman did something to bring it to her. That leaves the woman with guilt about what she did and didn’t do. My best example is an 86 year old woman asleep in her bed can still get raped.’ So what are the statistics? Out of all these assaults, how many end up as convictions? According to Sharon Brody: less than 10% of women who are assaulted report, 15% will seek the help of a support

agency, 5% of reported rapes make it to court and then only 2% of those cases end up with a conviction. The statistics tend to answer the question of why more women don’t report, but Kazza has a more challenging question: ‘Why do only half of reported rapes get to court?’ Having sufficient evidence to support a conviction is a major factor. Drink spiking is on the increase, particularly in tourist towns, and makes it difficult for the victim to present as a ‘credible witness’ in their own case. Often they will have little or no memory of the sexual assault that has occurred. This is one area Kazza says the police are targeting. ‘The Byron police have said this year, because drink spiking is on the increase, many victims can’t remember the details. It makes it much more difficult. There has been a whole campaign for 18 months – to reduce drink spiking in bars

and clubs in Byron. Part of the Byron sexual assault interagency plan are posters to go in toilets through Flush Media and the police are working with interagencies to make a video they will screen on the way into Byron with warnings for women.’ ‘One of the things I have been told is that there is possibly a gang of men who live in Byron who are aware of tourists coming and going and the likelihood is they will drink spike a woman on her last night in Byron. ‘It means she leaves town the next day, having been assaulted and not having access to any sort of support. That makes me feel sick, it’s like a conspiracy.’ All women, of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to come together and voice the message to our community that we won’t tolerate violence against women and children. If you are worried about bringing your sons, they are welcome. ‘If any of the women have a 15 year old son for example and want to bring them we have no hassle with that,’ says Kazza. Everyone will be meeting at the Peace Pole in Denning

Park on Friday at 5.30pm. Speakers commence at 6pm and the police-escorted march will head off at around 6.30pm. Wear red and white and bring something noisy: a whistle, a drum, something to bang. It’s a serious issue, but the coming together always has the atmosphere of joy and celebration – a precious reminder of the solidarity of sisterhood. Attitudes around sexual assault on women still shock me. I was having a conversation with a man who I considered to be well informed and compassionate. In response to the story I wrote on teenage girls in Byron being subject to statutory rape, he remarked, ‘Well, if they dress like that, what do they expect?’ Sharon Brody has the best response. ‘If there were a spate of bank robberies they wouldn’t be telling the banks it’s their problem, or suggest they dress differently, or don’t smile at the customers. They wouldn’t blame the bank. They’d try and catch the bank robber.’ Reclaim the Night. Be there. Show your support. Placards provided.

First span at Bruns to open

A sad anniversary David Lovejoy

Nicholas Shand, the founding editor of this newspaper, died ten years ago this week. We still miss his political acumen, his larger than life presence, his compassionate heart. Most of all we miss his sense of humour. Clearing out some old files this year Gavan Higginson, an old friend of Nicholas’s, found this letter: The Presiding Magistrate Mullumbimby Court October 1995 Re: Gavan Higginson I am aware of the offence with which Gavan Higginson has been charged. Gavan Higginson has been known to me both personally and professionally for over 15 years. He has at various times during that decade and a half been sober, responsible and an asset to the community. But not very often. Usually he has been drunk or stoned or both, abusive to his wife (actually they’re not even married) and particularly nasty to the children who have the misfortune to cross his path, especially his grandchildren. During a period of some four years he ran what some people were foolish enough to think was a high-class res-

taurant. He cleverly used this facade to poison as many members of the community as possible, most of whom unfortunately failed to survive long enough to tell their tale. When not poisoning them he got them drunk and overcharged them outrageously. I myself had to spend years paying off my account there, and have been left with an unfortunate speech impediment and a ruined figure as a result. Higginson was known to drive home drunk most nights, always flatly refused to give anyone a lift and attempted on numerous occasions to actually run over hitchhikers in the Main Arm Valley. He is also a known cheat on the golf course, where he hides opponents’ balls, pisses in their golf bags (a well known Afrikaaner kink) and alters his score card.

The most amazing thing about the charge currently levelled against him is that he’s only being charged with seven plants. Ha! What a fantasy. That man has a whole house full of dope and his import contacts at Sanctuary Cove would be well worth checking into. Don’t be lenient. Harden your heart and you will be doing the community a favour. Make him build Kohinur Hall on his own for nothing and after that he should do a few years of something really hard, like selling advertising for the local newspaper. All his dope should be confiscated and donated to the Get Fit and Learn to Speak Properly Committee (address is Coopers Lane but I’m sure they’ll come and collect it for a small fee). Then you can send him back to Sharpsville which he fled under very dubious circumstances in the 60s. Nicholas McLeish Shand Dictator Byron Shire Mind Control Publications

By the way, the real testimonial Nicholas sent to the court helped Gavan beat the charge. This spoof one was shown to the magistrate after the hearing and he fell off his chair laughing. Rest in peace, Nicholas.

Stop playing politics with trains: TOOT The TOOT campaign is calling on the NSW Premier Mr Iemma to announce that he will use the $75 million he claims to have and start readying the line for trains. ‘Instead of getting the trains running, the NSW government is playing politics. They haven’t provided

all the relevant details to the federal government – yet they are asking for $75 million,’ said TOOT president Karin Kolbe ‘If the NSW government is serious about getting trains running then repair work should be under way immediately.

‘The Price Waterhouse Coopers report clearly says that for around $30 million we could have a commuter service running. ‘This is well below the $75 million the government claims to have ready – so let’s get to work, Mr Iemma. ‘The people of this region want a commuter service, yet the government is only talking about the XPT. ‘The people of this region also want a link to Queensland, yet all the gov%XPERIENCING BLOATING CONSTIPATION STOMACH UPSETS ernment managed was the SKIN PROBLEMS LOW ENERGY ALLERGIES HEADACHES announcement of a task@9ES 4HEN YOU COULD BENEl T WITH A DETOXIl CATION force to look at linking just Tweed and Coolangatta.

The first span of the new bridge under construction. Photo Jeff Dawson

Michele Grant Travelling between Brunswick Heads and Yelgun, engulfed by the Pacific Highway upgrade, is a challenging, ever-changing experience. It will soon be a whole lot easier. The first span in the new Brunswick River bridge is now expected to open in November and traffic will be diverted onto the smooth new local road, which is emerging alongside the towering concrete retaining walls. A new section of road between Shara Boulevarde and Billinudgel, including the first span of the Marshall’s Creek bridge opened without fanfare last month. Access to Balemo Drive was reopened and Wilfred Street (near Humble Pies) has been closed. The new entrance into Billinudgel has shifted 200m south and is made possible via an underpass into Bonanza Drive. There’s a track beside the new road for bikes and pedestrians with improved access to old New Brighton Road. The sweeping pedestrian overpass at Balemo Drive is half completed. Piledrivers pound away at Marshall’s Creek as bridge work continues. Over the past year, Abigroup road workers have transformed the landscape, blazing an 8.6km trail of controlled devastation through the northern villages of Byron Shire. The highway route is a distracting kaleidoscope of activity. Trucks and dozers have gouged hillsides, dredged up ancient dirt and filled the floodplain, cutting a swathe through backyards, forest and farmland for the new local road and a four lane divided highway. Traffic snakes slowly along the battered old Pacific Highway. Dodging potholes, weaving around barricades and witch’s hats, becoming airborne over the bumps has added new thrills and excitement for regular commuters.

Car shockers and suspension may never recover from the chaotic conditions at Rajah Road and the Bruns turnoff. Travellers have witnessed amazing feats of engineering. Massive sheer vertical walls have been constructed from the ridgeline down, using formwork, steel and pipes and mega-tonnes of concrete. The boys with their big impressive toys are a major attraction as you sit stalled in traffic. Towering cranes hover over the Brunswick River. Bridge builders dangle from scaffolding, cement trucks and groaning dozers work under blazing lights, often until 2am. Locals and tourists, pedestrians and bike riders all pause to watch the bridge spans grow ever closer. Byron Shire’s regular heavy rainfall has proved challenging for Abigroup’s construction schedule and sediment controls. Runoff from roadworks has inundated both Brunswick River and Marshalls Creek. Drainage channels and settling ponds have overflowed onto the floodplain. It clearly evident, passing tourists and locals can see, cut-and-fill is a dinosaur technology, and totally inappropriate across undulating flood prone land. The social impact is incalculable, and was never assessed by the RTA during the planning stages. Locals have endured countless inconvenient delays with stoic patience and forbearing. Rat runs through Ocean

Shores have left local roads, pitted and potholed. Stinging eyes and nagging coughs from air permeated with fine dust is a major hazard. The drone of piledrivers, the incessant beeping of reversing trucks, and the growling, grumbling noises of men and machines at work, provide the background soundtrack to daily life. Car-driven guilt has perhaps induced a resigned tolerance and grudging acceptance of the wanton destruction and brazen redevelopment happening on our doorstep. The huge cost in public funds and squandered resources remains obscene and may prove painfully wasteful when peak oil and global warming inevitably kick in. The community has welcomed and embraced the Abi crew. Contractors and road workers have pumped millions of dollars into the local economy and brought wealth and prosperity to liquor traders and food outlets. Providing accommodation and meals for workers has also kept quite a few enterprising local women from destitution. Mechanics have reaped a windfall repairing battered suspension and worn out wheel bearings. Local contractors have never had so much work. Rugged, hard working, crazy young cowboys with money are hanging about everywhere. There will be very mixed feelings in the community when the highway is finally finished next year.

Men take the laurels in short story competition After a drought of some years, blokes this year have again demonstrated their writing prowess in the Nicholas Shand Beach Hotel Short Story Competition. Paul Kew of Byron Bay won the $1500 first prize and Daniel Ducrou of Byron Bay took the $500 second prize. Women were not to be outdone entirely, however, with 15 year old Anna Compton of Byron Bay winning the inaugural $500 under 18 section of the competition. All prizemoney is donated by the Beach Hotel. Paul Kew says he has been writing ‘forever’, mostly for little journals in Victoria and South Australia, and has lived in Byron Bay for the last three years. Now busy washing nappies for his brand new child, Paul mainly writes poetry. Asked if he has a passion for writing, Paul answers, ‘It’s not really a passion. It’s more like I write the way some people smoke.’ Daniel Ducrou is busy honing his writing skills. A former editor of the Flinders University student magazine, Daniel has been writing a novel for the last year and a

half, has had a mentorship through the Northern Rivers Writers Centre with novelist Marele Day and currently has a mentorship with Linda Jaivin in Sydney. Anna Compton is a keen reader and English is her favourite subject at Byron Bay High. She’s already had some success as runner-up in

the Byron Bay Writers Festival writing contest and may go on to become an English teacher unless other ambitions arise before she leaves school. The judges of the short story competition can happily report that suicides are down in the fictional world of Byron Shire, whale sight-

Back to waiting Paul Kew His humped shape in the morning mirror, too early for colour, just a grey figure passing by in the corner of his eye. How had he got so old? ‘Out ya go, boy.’ His three legged dog hops out of the laundry and into the yard, makes a quick circle before taking a long piss against the fence, retraces his steps, sniffing, catching up with the world that has passed in the night. He puts the kettle on. Teabag from a jar. Goes to the window and looks at the morning sky. A clear sheet of no colour. Will be a hot day. Gives the dog fresh water and shakes some dried food out of a bag into his bowl. Pauses at the sink, waiting for the kettle to whistle.Thinks about all the waiting and what ever came. Only things that come were money from his labour and bairns from his wife. A queen for his fibro castle. How had she come? Not by waiting, but by taking his chances. Wife dead now and children gone. Back to waiting. The worst kind. Drinks his tea down and fetches his rod. Ties a ribbon around his line and puts a bag over his shoulder. Straps on his bait bucket and a knife. Too old to carry things anymore. The legs still good but the back worn out.Too old for the chair, the jewhole, any of the rocks where he had made

his battles. Seen and felt the world in a way he never would again on those rocks. Like standing on fifty foot of scaffolding pounding a nail. All gone now. The wrong side of the plateau. Only memories and photos, slowly detaching themselves. Night eyes gone too. No more big tailor smashing his baits, rod arched and pumping, arm aching, fish coming up the sand at midnight with a 4/0 hook hanging out of an angry underbite. Only choppers now in the morning light. But every now and then a star hanging low in the sky brings luck to a good fisherman. A midnight straggler cruising behind the school hits his chunk of horsie, his body suddenly alive, the world alive again, a shaking hand trying to cut its throat. Kids come own to surf see the old man with eight pound of fish sticking out of his bag. Across the sand down at Talla Creek. The creek like a pond. Two crows barking in the pre-dawn light. The remnants of a fire smouldering in the sand. Bottles dropped and left. Damn tourists here all year now. Worse, the city people come to chase their money. Change all the shops, sell useless things, whinge constantly in the papers, always drinking coffee and talking rubbish. Everywhere commotion but nothing happening.

The water lapping up the sand like milk. Waves in the distance crashing on the sandbar, foaming over a hole. Two pelicans lose their legs and suddenly float out in the wash. A wave brings them back in and they start walking again like they jumped off a bus. ‘Clack clack clack clack clack,’ he says to them. He has learnt how to speak pelican. Their big eyes watching him like a shy girl. His first fish up the sand is a small dart and the pelican moves in fast, lifts its wings, opens its beak. ‘I should let you swallow it while it’s still got the hook in it, hey?’ Pelican eyes him as he removes the hook. ‘Clack clack clack clack clack.’ The little fish swims off, the pelicans snapping at a flash of blue turned sideways in the wash. The fish makes it. The pelicans waddle back toward him. Remembers his son from a long time ago, tossing little dart to the pelicans just to laugh at the funny sight of a fish going down a pelican’s throat. They never got stuck. Even with those fins and spikes. Inside of a pelican’s throat must be like leather. The sun up now. An orange ball of fire burning on the horizon. Stronger than the sea, if that is possible. The next cast out further, into the

ings remain steady, love springs eternal, bananas are in high demand and this year sees the men of the shire downing tools and fronting up in numbers to confront the terror of the empty screen and fill it with a thousand well-honed words. As usual the judges faced an unenviable task. The qual-

ity of the 43 entries was high, but the first choice was unanimous. Back To Waiting by Paul Kew is a simple and moving story of an elderly fisherman wondering ‘how he got so old‌ the legs still good but the back worn out’. A touching glimpse into a side of Byron life we often ignore—the life of our older residents – it was chosen for its authenticity of voice, veracity of detail and resistance to easy clichĂŠ. Runner-up, A New Beginning by Daniel Ducrou is a witty and humorous look at an aspect of Byron life many of us know too well – the search for a suitable housemate. Many entries deserved praise, but in the end the judges highly commended All Grown Up by Lollie Barr and Passing Through by Oliver Parsons. The $500 Under-18 prize went to Off The Tracks by Anna Compton, a mature and evocative lament for our lost North Coast trains. While the standard proved yet again the depth of talent in the area, judges noted that many entries felt underwritten and would have bene-

fited from greater revision and closer proofreading – and that too often strong stories were undermined with weak endings. The judges this year were Fay Knight, Alan Close and Jill Eddington. As usual, the Northern Rivers Writers Centre (www.nrwc.org.au) organised the judging. The winning entry is printed below, and the other two winning entries will be published in coming weeks.

Update on war in Uganda Kirsty Sked North Uganda remains one of the most neglected humanitarian disasters in human history, according to the United Nations. Peace talks began on August 26, 2006 with the LRA (The Lord’s Resistance Army), and the first signs of some progress was reached on October 13. Meanwhile the LRA continue to invade the camps and abduct and kill children. In April 2006 while I was in North Uganda, the World Health Oganisation and Oxfam released a report stating there was six times more deaths here than in Iraq. The 2004 MĂŠdecins Sans Frontières (MSF) survey, taken in the Ugandan district of Pader, reported almost all respondents have been exposed to severe traumatic events since 2002. Sixty three per cent report the disappearance or abduction of a family member, 58% report the death of a family member due to the insurgency, 79% have witnessed torture and 40% have witnessed a killing. (In an active war zone two years later those statistics have only increased.) Despite this, the North Ugandans remain determined to create a better life

with some of the camps risking small agricultural plots and the rearing of goats, pigs, chickens and cows. They are slowly trying to reestablish their village life. Since my return from Uganda last May to a well paid job, a total of 285 goats have been received by the former abducted sex slave child mothers in the remote and dangerous Pader District of North Uganda. One hundred and sixty five pigs and 450 insecticide treated mos-

quito nets have also been distributed to these woman and children. My next target is saving up for the schooling of 114 former abducted child soldiers aged six to ten to enable them to start school next January. I thought it was time to offer any locals an opportunity to be involved if they want to! My sales pitch for children forgotten in a war zone with no parents, food security, ability to read or write, or dreams for a future, is that BY there are no administration IS BECOMING THE YEAR fees.

Meat = methane

Erik Adams In last week’s Echo David Suzuki quite rightly described methane as being 22 times more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2. Many environmentalists and greenhouse lobbyists overlook the important role that non-CO2 greenhouse gases are playing in influencing climate change. A recent study undertaken by Dr James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies, has shown that the reduction of non-CO2 gases may be far more important than we realise. Dr Hansen, a veteran supporter of action against global warming, often cited by Al Gore and called ‘a grandfather of the global warming theory’, has convitamin A and Iodine forti- cluded from his research that CO2 emissions are not the fied porridge. Your $50 donation transforms into tangible opportunity in this war zone and pays for children to go to school to learn how to be children again after escaping the war’s brutality. If that’s not your thing there are hundreds more former child sex slaves who would love a goat to rear. Your donation of $40 will buy these child mothers a goat and a mosquito net. The World Health Organisation recommends insecticide treated nets as the most effective prevention of malaria but only 7% of all Ugandans can afford this and even less in north Uganda! If cash is short you can buy a net for $7.

Please contact me if inter- of any climate change reducested at chiliee@hotmail. tion strategy. Methane is produced by a number of com.

sources, including coal mining and landfills – but the number one source worldwide is animal agriculture. Animal agriculture produces more than 100 million tons of methane a year. And this source is on the rise: global meat consumption has increased fivefold in the past fifty years, and shows little sign of abating. About 85% of this methane is produced in the digestive processes of livestock, and while a single cow releases a relatively small amount of methane, the collective effect on the environment of the hundreds of millions of livestock animals worldwide is enormous. An additional 15% of animal agricultural methane emissions are released from the massive ‘lagoons’ used to store untreated farm animal

waste, and are already a target of environmentalists for their role as the number one source of water pollution in the US. Consider then that the food choices we make every day may have more impact on climate change than our energy choices. If one is serious about global warming a lessening of our meat consumption and a move towards a vegetarian/vegan diet is essential and could achieve a reduction in global warming much more rapidly than waiting for the government and energy industry to get serious about renewable energy sources. In addition, it is already well known that the production of a meat-centred diet consumes three times more fossil fuels than a meat-free one, far more water, and is responsible for most land clearing. Not only that, a vegetarian diet reduces your chances of being obese and of developing cancer or heart disease – all epidemics of our society.

Television Guide 1. Nightowls will appreciate Ian McKellan and Brendan Fraser – in a very unusual role for him – in Gods And Monsters (ABC, Thursday, 12.35am), a fictional account of the last days of director James Whale, who made the classic Frankenstein movies. 2. Guns and testosterone rule in The Magnificent Seven (Prime, Saturday, 9.45pm) followed by The Magnificent Seven Ride! 3. What shamans and witches discovered viscerally, scientists now confirm in Most Of Our Universe Is Missing (SBS, Sunday, 8.30pm) – four per cent we know about, the rest is dark energy and dark matter. Next week, Most Of Our Independent Media Is Missing, starring the Packer and Murdoch dark gravity forces.

Articles Suvira’s annual art show on again Coming at the end of this month is an opportunity for art lovers to quit the gallery trail and experience creativity at its source. The occasion is the open studio of sculptor and ceramic artist Suvira McDonald, which takes place once a year in the tranquil setting of his rainforest garden near Goonengerry. Over the weekend of October 28 and 29, visitors to Suvira’s sanctuary can view the full range of output by this multi-talented creator whose work has achieved

acclaimed solo shows and prestigious awards. Suvira’s sculptural works range from spiraling steel structures evocative of

marine themes, to woodfired clay vessels and figures of earthy textures and hues. His unique ceramic landscapes are sought-after collectors’ items. Made from layers of tinted clay mounted on suspended panels, these exquisite images are inspired by the elemental beauty of Australia’s landforms. A skilled potter, Suvira also makes an array of tableware that is both decorative and functional. Combining lustrous, Oriental-style glazes with elegant, contemporary forms, his distinctive platters, bowls, vases, teapots and mugs are ideal for gifts. All this will be on offer during the weekend, at studio prices. Opening hours are from 9am to 4pm. The studio is located at 300 Mafeking Road, (off Federal Road), 30 minutes from Byron Bay and Lismore. For more information call 6684 9194, or email suvira@ suviramcdonald.com for a map.

Wynn-Moylan helps Bangalow pool fund

A painting of people having fun at the weir in Bangalow, entitled ‘Bangalow Summer’, painted by Bangalow artist Karena Wynn-Moylan, is being raffled to help raise money for the Bangalow Pool Fund. The Bangalow Chamber of Commerce has undertaken to raffle the painting for a number of months by placing it in various participating shopfronts along the main

street of Bangalow. The artist said, ‘I wanted to help raise money for and awareness of the Bangalow Pool Fund. A year round, covered, heated pool is a great amenity not just for Bangalow but for the whole shire.’ The pool fund was held up for a while by red tape but is now all systems go. And the pool committee is eager to hear from any tradespeople

who can contribute to the project and other help is also welcome. The weir is a special spot in Bangalow, it is the old pool and should be maintained also as a great recreational facility for the area. Tickets for the painting are $4 each or three for $10, signed artist’s prints are also available for $50 with a percentage going to the pool fund.

Band fund grants on offer to youth The committee of the Mullumbimby Services Memorial Band Fund is calling for applications for grants for the ‘educational, cultural, social and sporting needs’ of the youth of the Brunswick Valley district. The fund has been set up to continue the aims of the old Services and Citizens Band to assist the youth of the district, using income derived from investment of the sale money from the Band Hall, and is distributed to the young people in need so that they can reach goals which would otherwise be unobtainable. Grants are made to individuals or organisations invol-

ved with the development of youth to pay for a particular activity or assist with a more expensive activity which may be beyond their means without assistance. Grants have been made in the past to individuals involved in a wide range of sporting activities as well as the arts. There is a means test for all applicants. Applicants must be 19 years of age or younger by December 12, 2006 and they must have lived in the district for three years. The district is defined as the catchment area of the Brunswick Valley which includes Mullumbimby,

YOUR

COASTAL

ENTERTAINMENT ‘I have been in court for obscenity on two or three occasions, and I have been accused of blasphemy by seven bishops! I have a good criminal record. I got used to the idea that that was going to happen. I had a lovely start out with Nation Review, with journalists like Mungo MacCallum, Richard Neville and Bob Ellis. I thought that’s what you do – you get in trouble. Those journalists are feisty people who believed you need to be a pain in the arse to the government and to the media.’

Michael Leunig is without doubt my favourite cartoonist. He has that uncanny ability to locate sadness, but he draws it with such joy. His is a whimsical world of birds, dead rabbits and Mr Curly, where we are connected by tiny tendrils in a disconnected universe. But it’s not all whimsy. Deep within the heart of this writer/artist/poet lurks a political animal. It just happens to be a duck. So who is this little man who occupies so many of Leunig’s drawings?

Leunig has the extraordinary ability to locate human emotion without falling into uncomfortable sentiment. There is always humour in the sadness – an everyman’s tool of translation.

‘Well it is the little man – maybe it says it’s a little person – a little child, that’s not even a child some people have said, it’s more of an embryo. It’s a little creature, it’s sub-human – there’s something in that and I mean it in a delightful sense – that we are all connected at some level, and as sophisticated people we are all disconnected, traditionally there is some eternal archetype of the human spirit‌ I am sure one could be very psycho, analytic – we all carry a remnant memory of an innocence. It’s the primal part of the life essence, it’s the beautiful quality in people...’ says Michael.

‘Educated middle class cool people have a problem – sometimes they are too quick to find sentimentality and are blind to poignancy. I grew up in a working class family with a grandmother who played sentimental songs on the piano accordian from morning to night. I realised that was my folk language, it became the way to speak truth. Sometimes if you are too highly intellectualised you can’t speak. There’s the cult of cleverness – it abounds everywhere – it kills things and makes you wonder whether the very origins of intense intellectual life are a defense against feelings, I relate more to Zorba the Greek than to Plato. Sadly a lot of the wardens of literature are a bit joyless, they don’t like to see that sweaty sort of joy of people that are having a good time.’

In more recent times Leunig has become outspoken about social issues, in particular the war in Iraq. ‘The bloke in me has this feeling of civic responsibility that wants to care and wants to fight for things or wants to believe in things, like social justice, or getting really outraged that some arsehole is doing cruel and terrible things.’ ‘Right through my younger years I built up a credibility and some affection for elements of my work, they were the more benign elements, like Mr Curly. I built up credibility and trust and realised I would have to spend a little of it. In these recent times, with the war, I thought, I will make myself a bit unpopular here. We live in a culture that is focused on being attractive and popular. I don’t want to be attractive, I want to be truthful. Attractiveness keeps people enslaved.’ ‘When you develop a deep attraction to the opposite and break free of this terrible enslavement of contemporary values – they say the burkha is limiting – but we are enslaved by the need to be acceptable and to fit in and to rate well. We are always doing market research on ourselves, it keeps our vitality cramped. Our vitality should be expressive and wild and woolly! More of the truth of us and and less of the system. I realised I had to squander this good will. You think there comes a day when you have to speak forth and be outrageous and have a good heart. I have made some shocking enemies. Lately our dear friend, Andrew Denton, he gave me a really hard time, he’s not the worst of it, I get some dark and dirty hate mail and then I get columnists like Gerard Henderson that must lie there and think of how to talk about me, it’s absurd, I am supposed to be drawing infantile things like ducks but he’s lying in bed thinking about me...’

Billy the Rabbit is a collaborative album that brings together Gyan and Leunig. Putting Leunig’s poetry to music was something Gyan felt driven to do.

Love Love Lov v Life L e & LeuniG u G I recounted the first time I’d noticed Leunig’s social satire. It was the image of a small child alone in child care. It inflamed women all over the country. But as a mother of small children, it touched that place in your heart reserved for guilt. It told the child care story from the baby’s perspective. It created a storm. ‘It got the ball rolling – I thought here it goes, that’s the end of happiness for me. It was something I felt absolutely deeply and strongly about. I didn’t intend to make women feel guilty. I was really concerned about the infant. A lot of mothers were made to feel terrible, that was the collateral damage, my sympathy lies with anyone who has to make those

kind of decisions. The creche has become more corporatised, and marketed to women – get back to work early or you’ll go mad‌ Sally Loan the broadcaster and journalist starts the first chapter of her book with seeing the cartoon. She rang all her friends and was furious. But later she reassessed what it was about, and subsequently I have met so many women who have said thank you for that. I wasn’t forgiven and still aren’t in a lot of circles.’ It takes a lot of resilience to be outspoken, particularly with issues that make people uncomfortable. For Leunig, it’s deeply imbedded in the culture of journalism where he first started.

Leunig will appear in conversation and in cartoon at the Byron Community Centre for the launch of Billy The Rabbit.

‘Actually it was a bit of a fait accompli. Gyan came to me and said: I am sorry I have done a terrible thing. I’ve put your songs to music and I have sung them. Then I put this thing on and I heard it. I really love her voice for a start. I love a true voice – I was greatly honoured because I have admired singers of the world. If only I could sing! Life would be perfect‌ I could love myself even, I could sing under balconies – fair maidens would throw me a rose! I felt really honoured and flattered and gratified that my work had been chosen by a singer. I felt like I had been honoured by a teacher. I loved it and said yes, go for it.’

Between a cock and a hard place Every week I delete about 60 emails detailing how to improve my sexual performance. This is of course assuming that I am a bloke. How to get a harder cock, that goes for longer, that satisifies, oh god, that gratifies. I just press delete and one more hard raging pleasuring penis is gone. Only to have another pop up moments later. Pills that will have him up plumping the pillows till daybreak. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to walk to work. That’s a little over zealous. I am used to deleting cock-mail. It’s a little porn, and honestly the last thing I was thinking of between the press release for a school fete and a chamber orchestra was the likelihood of an all night lovein with my viagra-fuelled fuck fiend. But now you mention it‌ I think men are rather unfairly targeted. It’s easy to delete the dick mail when you don’t have one without ever pondering what this constant sexual harassment must do the the self esteem of

the average bloke. Most men must live in quiet fear that they will never be big enough, go long enough‌ and it’s true, they never will. But that’s beside the point. It’s how hard they try that really cooks a girl’s bacon. As for us girls, all we have to do is show up. I never question my sexual adequacy and truth be told I’m probably a complete dud. Hey, my favourite position is: on the couch followed quickly by a long white at the coffee shop. We girls never get spam mail that says: ‘Not pleasing your man? Taking too long to climax? Boring him with long talks about your emotional needs?’ Take ‘Sighagra’ and you’ll never have to fake again. Sexual potency drugs and marketing is all aimed at drugging men up so the average public servant is performing moves like the late John Holmes in his three bedroom suburban love nest. It’s too much pressure. Why should the fellas have to slow down? Why don’t we speed up? Instead of pills that guarantee 6 hours of rock hard

love, what about one for us girls that guaranteed orgasms within 20 seconds followed by a nice long kip. You could call them ‘sunshowers’ because it all happens so fast you wouldn’t see it coming. ‘It suddenly got dark. I got unexpectedly wet and now there’s a rainbow.’ It would appear that women aren’t expected to perform, they are merely expected to look good. The messages targeted at women are mainly around weight-loss drugs and botox injections. You might be able to pleasure your lady all night, but how the hell under all that frozen flesh can you tell when she’s having a good time? Just blink when you’re getting close, baby. What bizarre messages around our sexuality. Men that fuck all night and women who can no longer feel. How wrong have men got it? You don’t have to stay hard for 48 hours to please your woman. All you have to do is listen to our endless chatter. Then if you manage a semi-firm five, you are doing all right.

OKA ARE OK Having just returned from their third successful Canadian tour, and with numerous performances in Singapore and New Zealand, OKA have the world in their sights. OKA have

been setting the summer festival circuit alight. Triple J reported OKA’s Bellingen Global Carnival performance as ‘the freshest gig of the year!’, followed by standout performances at The Dreaming Festival, Surfing The Cold Stream Festival, Joyfest, Exodus Festival and the pinnacle of Australia’s festival circuit – Woodford Folk Festival. OKA’s distinctly unique sound brings musical traditions and cultures together – ancient and modern – black and white. The traditional rhythms of the Yadaki (didgeridoo) weave throughout pumping electronic beats, vocals, exotic woodwinds, world percussion and vocals – an explosive fusion of organic world sounds and electronic music like no other. OKA’s shows are powerful, diverse, and inspiring. You can catch them at Coorabell Hall on Saturday. 8pm show. Tix $18/15 at the door.

YEAR OF THE CAT The Cat Empire make their way back from a hugely successful overseas tour to eager Aussie fans. Unlike years in the past, they won’t be playing at either Woodford or the Blues Festival this year, so this will be your last chance to see them for at least 18 months. Ku Promotions presents The Cat Empire at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds on Saturday 25 November. Tickets are $45/35 for under 18 and are available at ticket outlets near you.

Well, sort of. ‘Aftermath’ is his recently released CD and has been described as ‘a spiritual musical journey by an artist who has run full circle in life – and seems to have landed in an instinctive and pure place‌ deft songwriting ability and undeniable sincerity. We are reminded of Al Stewart in story telling and tone, and early Peter Gabriel in arrangements and approach‌ painting message and emotion perfectly‌ Great record.’ Accompanied by Julie Bergin and Peter Davidian.

HARDCORE HORROR They’re back. After 6 months touring Europe and America, local band, Parkway Drive are back in Byron and are up for playing a little homecoming Halloween.

As well as completing their first world tour and signing a deal with American label Epitaph, they have just completed a national tour as the only Australian band on the

travelling ‘Taste of Chaos� Festival. The Halloween Hardcore show is a drug and alcohol free event and tickets are available for $12 pre-sale from Music & Vision, or $15 on the night. People are encouraged to dress up and the show begins at 6.00pm and finishes at 10pm. For more information contact the YAC on 6685 5775.

SOMETHING ABOUT BERTIE

ESCAPE

PICKING UP ON THE THREAD

Bertie Blackman caught everyone’s attention in late 2004 with her debut album Headway with the killer single ‘Favourite Jeans’. Bertie started out a little softer but this latest album shows just what a monstrous talent she is. With the attitude and punk sensibility of an aussie version of Kelly Osborne, except with a hell of a talent and non famous parents. This evolution to electric guitar and pounding drums had me thinking back to the likes of Patti Smith. Ain’t been a whole lot like her since. Blackman comes damn close. She plays the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

Mullum Folk Club is proud to present a hot new trio, Thread. Recently formed when three friends decided to take jamming on each other’s songs to a new level. Featuring Rebecca Ireland, Mark Heazlett and Guy Kachel, they combine smooth harmonies, acoustic, slide and electric guitars with harmonica and skiffle snare to create their own unique sound. All accomplished singer/songwriters in their own right, it will be something special to see them performing as a trio. Still only $5 entry, Mullum Folk Club represents a great value night out, showcasing extraordinary local talent. Chalkboard spots will be available from 7pm onwards, if you are an original songwriter and would like the opportunity to perform your songs to a respectful and enthusiastic audience

culture EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT DICK TRICKS BUT WERE TOO AFRAID TO ASK An alchemist is a person who turns base matter into gold. So in a sense, Simon Moorley and David Friend are exactly that. These two rather unlikely lads have managed to build an empire with their willies. These two are the men who conceptualised and then actualised one of the world’s most unique theatre shows: Puppetry of the Penis. Moorley and Friend have mastered the gentle are of genital origami, and in the process created a hilarious, at times confronting, in your face, but charming hour and a half show that has seen them perform in virtually every city on the planet. Even places where the sun don’t shine. (Especially places where the sun don’t shine – they’re huge in Norway at the moment and are about to return for a tour of major cities). Puppetry of the Penis is very much a show that might not have happened, were it not for the fortuitous meeting of Mr Moorley and Mr Friend at

This chance meeting progressed into a workshop, and later into a show. ‘My younger brother who I wanted to do the show was the kissing bandit on Neighbours – I wanted him to do it with me, he said: I’ll never get another job again.

End hit and he’s doing Twistie commercials!’ said Simon. Puppetry of the Penis is a show that attracts women in their droves. When else do you get a chance to look at the schlong for an hour and a half and laugh yourself silly? With up to nine franchise events going at any one time, the guys have trained up puppeteers all over the globe and found themselves performing this peculiarly Australian show in many different languages. ‘In Germany we learnt all the names of the tricks. I can say cock in about 30 different languages! We find ourselves out on the town after the show, and I am fluent in show script: I can say ‘the baby bird’ or ‘windsurfer’ in French and Dutch. This is a bit strange when you’re trying to order a drink across the bar!’ Puppetry of the Penis is not what you’d expect. It’s not in the slightest sleazy, nor do the guys use sexual innuendo. It’s a rapid fire exchange between the puppeteers as they manipulate their old fellas into everyday objects. In fact, the penis is a lot more useful than I ever imagined. Simon recounted some reviews from the early days: ‘When we hit the West End they were

The show attracts women in their droves – but it’s really a show that would benefit blokes. It totally demystifies the whole penis thing – in fact, there are some tricks that are so moving, it will bring tears to your eyes. Literally. How does a man get so comfortable with himself? ‘We just never really had time to think about it. The screens just started getting bigger and bigger and bigger and there was a moment of clarity on stage once in the West End show and I turned around and looked at myself on the screen and I was looking at a pimple on my arse and it was 3 times the size of a football. ‘It’s just important not to thinking about it too much and it will do your head in. ‘I have the most famous flaccid penis on earth!’ Puppetry of the Penis – with me, Ms Mandy Nolan as support, at Gold Coast Arts Centre on Wednesday, Ballina RSL on Friday and Lismore City Hall on Saturday, then for Byron viewers, you can check it out at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday 2 November.

Crown land rent increases The financial viability of our community facilities could be in doubt following recent hikes in NSW Crown land rents.

The State Labor Government is jeopardising the future of community facilities in the Ballina Electorate by significantly increasing rent on Crown Land. Ballina Shire Council has recently received notification from the Department of Lands that the rent for the Crown Land on which the Ballina Public Library, Visitor Information Centre and Richmond Room are located will be substantially increased from the current figure of about $19,000 to $90,000 per annum - a 470 per cent increase. Following objections from the Council the Department of Lands agreed to reduce the revised rent to $45,000 per annum. This is simply not viable for the Council, which already outlays $810,000 per annum to provide these important facilities to the community.

must raise revenue purely to bolster the NSW Treasury, when Council paid half of the original acquisition costs of the land. Council is expending significant monies on building the community centre and the additional burden of paying a commercially based rent could seriously jeopardise the future of the community centre.

Ballina Shire Council has also been advised that in order for a planned, and very much needed, community centre at Williams Reserve at Lennox Head to go ahead, the centre must pay a commercially based rent to the NSW Government. This in itself is a ludicrous notion as a community centre is simply by nature not a profit raising development.

After wasting the proceeds of ten years of economic sunshine in NSW due to the property boom, this Labor Government is now charging exorbitant rents for community facilities. They have no regard for the importance of community facilities, their role in keeping communities together and the social benefits they provide.

Electorate Boundaries

It must be noted that the initial request for the Government to acquire Williams Reserve as Crown Land in 1952 was made by the Council on behalf of the Lennox Head Progress and Ratepayers Association. The Department of Lands agreement was conditional on Council paying half the cost of the acquisition and all processing costs.

Government Services

So it comes as a cruel slap in the face to Ballina Shire ratepayers that they are now being told by the NSW Government the centre

I personally believe we should move to make the tenure of these sites, including Surf Life Saving Clubs, more secure. I’m concerned in the wake of Treasury’s moves to increase rent on Crown land, the flow on effects will be felt by increasing numbers of community facilities. I believe important community and volunteer facilities on Crown land should be protected and guaranteed tenure into the future.

Casino to Murwillumbah Rail Line I have put the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line back on the NSW Parliament’s agenda, recently moving a motion to put trains back on the line. I put forward a motion that condemned the NSW Labor Government for axing the train and called on the Government to reinstate services on the line and commence the process of connecting the Casino to Murwillumbah line with the Queensland rail system. My motion also commended the thousands of North Coast residents who have continued to support the return of rail services on the line even though it is over two years since the NSW Labor Government axed services. Parliament will vote to support or not support the motion during the next Parliamentary sitting week. In my speech supporting the motion, I called on the NSW Labor Government to stop playing politics and put trains back on the line. The State Government closed down the line, it is a State Government responsibility to put services back on the line. The Liberal/Nationals Coalition policy is to put commuter services on the line. The Labor Government says it will cost $150 million over 5 years to put a train back on the track, maintain the line to a satisfactory standard, and replace all the bridges. Repairing all the bridges in not necessary. The PriceWaterhouseCoopers Report states almost two-thirds of bridges are in fair or good condition, not needing urgent upgrading. By overstating the cost and saying they won’t do anything unless the Federal Government contributes $75 million, the State Government is trying to paint themselves as being interested in doing something. The $75 million the State Labor Government says they have on the table would be sufficient to get trains running again and to cover annual maintenance costs. The NSW Labor Government should stop playing politics and just get on with putting trains back on our track!

Ballina Electo •

A recent survey I conducted of Ballina Electorate businesses has found 52 per cent of respondents believe skills shortages are negatively affecting their business.

Of the 44 per cent of responden apprentice in the last two years, were not satisfied with the appr

•

The survey also revealed 43 per cent of business owners have had difficulties recruiting employees for specific positions during the last 12 months.

•

•

Of those businesses, the area of employment in which the majority of difficulties (55 per cent) were experienced was skilled trades, followed by retail (15 per cent).

•

The skilled trades experiencing the greatest shortage of workers in the Ballina Electorate are hospitality, hairdressing, electrical, auto mechanics, security (locksmiths), carpentry, welding, plumbing, tiling and refrigeration.

Problems encountered during th included: difficulty in retaining of the apprenticeship (21%); the and joined another employer on (26%); cost of Workers Compen restrictions on the work appren years of their apprenticeship (24 apprentices (1%).

CountryLink Booking Fee In March this year, the NSW Labor Government introduced a booking fee for pensioners using their Pensioner Travel Vouchers for travel on CountryLink services. The new fee is equal to 15 per cent of the equivalent full adult fare or a minimum of $10 (whichever is greater) and is charged for each voucher used for the journey undertaken. As a result of this unfair fee, the number of pensioners using CountryLink services has fallen by 20% while raising more than $1 million in its first three months of operation. In addition, during the four months between March and July, the number of pensioners using their Pensioner Travel Vouchers has fallen by 36,000 compared with the same period last year. This booking fee has made train travel simply unaffordable for many pensioners and the NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition’s policy is to abolish the booking fee to encourage people to travel by rail to help revive regional train services. Pensioners in the city can travel across the CityRail network for a dollar a day! Another cases of this Government disadvantaging country people.

Ballina By-pass Update The Federal and State Governments have announced RTA Operations has been awarded the $20 million contract to carry out the initial works on the Ballina By-pass, with work due to start next month. The pre-construction phase will involve the creation of earth embankments over the soft floodplain soils in areas along the bypass route. Initial earthworks will be carried out near Teven Road and Emigrant Creek at Cumbalum. Settlement of up to 4.5 metres is possible around the northern end of Emigrant Creek and up to three metres around Teven Road. The length of the approved Ballina By-pass will be 12.4 kilometres of divided carriageway, 6.6km shorter than the equivalent section of the existing Pacific Highway and will be of significant benefit to the Ballina community by removing traffic from the town. The Federal and State Governments announced in December last year the Ballina Bypass was fully funded and construction would start as soon as possible. I expect tenders to build and maintain the Ballina By-pass will be called in mid 2007. Also, as a result of the NSW Labor Government’s decision on the preferred route between Tintenbar and Ewingsdale, there will be no need to revisit the original Ballina By-pass route and approval.

Our Schools

As the Member for Ballina, I am often invited to visit local schools to talk about our system of Government and current political issues. I have recently visited Teven-Tintenbar Public School (pictured), Bangalow Public School and Coorabell Public School.

Pacific Highway Compensation

Following the announcement of the preferred route for the Tintenbar to Ewingsdale section of the Pacific Highway upgrade, many residents affected by the selected route are in limbo until the Government offers to purchase their properties. In a recent speech to Parliament I have drawn the NSW Government’s attention to the need to ensure those affected are compensated in a compassionate and timely fashion. Under the current ‘Just Terms’ legislation, there is no obligation on the part of the State Government to compensate people affected by the preferred route until the Minister for Planning gives final planning approval. This Ministerial Approval can take several years because an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has to be done on the preferred route, submissions made on that EIS, a Representations Report has to be prepared on the submissions received on the EIS, which includes comments from other Government agencies. All of this could take years before the Minister for Planning can give Ministerial Approval. In the meantime those affected are effectively entombed in their properties. No one wants to buy their properties because they’re on the preferred route and yet they can’t force the RTA to acquire them until Ministerial approval has been given. It’s important people directly affected be able to get on with their lives. I believe in the interests of justice, the legislation needs to be amended so that landowners can access support from the legislation after the ‘preferred route’ has been identified within a reasonable timeframe if that is their wish. In addition, residents whose properties are not acquired but are nevertheless affected by the preferred route are generally not currently eligible for compensation. This problem is more difficult to solve but it needs to be addressed, as the indirect effects of the highway upgrade such as noise and emissions can adversely affect neighbouring properties.

As the NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition Shadow Minister for Skills Development and Training, I will be using these survey results to assist in the finalisation of the Coalition’s policies to address the skills shortage. We have, however, already announced that the Coalition’s policy is to pay the cost of workers compensation premiums for apprentices, phased in over the first term in Government.

Pollies for Small Business

As part of the annual Pollie for Small Business week held recently, I was able to visit three different businesses operating in the Ballina area – Kimberley Kampers and Karavans in Ballina, Sailfish Marine/Catamarans in Alstonville and Headland Beach Resort in Lennox Head. These three thriving businesses show the strong diversity in business in the Ballina Electorate.

BALLINA YOUTH COUNCIL

The second meeting of the Ballina Youth Council was held recently. Representatives from Ballina Shire High Schools met with Ballina Shire Mayor Phil Silver and myself to discuss the issues affecting youth in the Ballina area. It was a very successful meeting and the third meeting of the Youth Council is planned for early in 2007.

The NSW Nationals Annual Conference The NSW Nationals held their Annual General Conference in Ballina recently, seeing more than 300 delegates visit our town. I gave the Deputy Leader’s speech in which I outlined the key elements of the North Coast policy. I also highlighted the need to development comprehensive policy initiatives to deal with the challenge of climate change.

Ballina Rehabilitation Unit It is vital we view the new $8 million 24-bed rehabilitation facility proposed for Ballina in a regional context. It’s also important our funding is not jeopardised because of parochial squabbles regarding its location. Currently there is no space at Lismore Base Hospital to put a new rehabilitation centre. Also Treasury won’t allow its construction on privately owned land at St Vincent’s Hospital in Lismore. A new private 66-bed rehabilitation and aged care facility is expected to open in Lismore by mid next year, where the North Coast Area Health Service have the option to purchase public beds. In addition rehabilitation beds will be retained in the Lismore area in the interim, and the North Coast Area Health Service states rehabilitation services at Lismore Base Hospital will be continued and expanded with Stage Three of the hospital’s redevelopment (24 beds have been included in the plans). We do need, however, to have a firm commitment from the State Government (which I have sought in Parliament) on these rehabilitation beds for Stage Three at Lismore Base. The location of the new facility at Ballina is based on good strategic planning, given it’s a regional facility. The catchment area for the Rehabilitation and Transitional Care Unit in Ballina includes Ballina, Kyogle, Lismore, Casino, Richmond Valley, Byron and northern Maclean. The predominant users of rehabilitation services are people aged over 55 years. Over the next ten years to 2016, Ballina is projected to have an increase in this age group of 35 per cent. Other areas on the coastal strip are projected to have even higher growth rates of the over 55 population such as Byron at 57 per cent. It would be a tragedy for our region if, because of local squabbles, the $8 million rehabilitation unit at Ballina is lost. In addition, the North Coast Area Health Service will also be preparing a Master Plan for the redevelopment of the Ballina Hospital site. A committee will be established to oversee the development of the Master Plan, which will be the starting point for future development at Ballina District Hospital. The plan will identify what will be needed over the next 15 to 20 years, e.g. how many beds will be needed and what services need expanding. The Area Health Service expects the Master Plan will be completed in early 2007.

David Suzuki & our environment

Along with hundreds of other North Coast residents I recently had the opportunity to hear world-renowned scientist and environmentalist David Suzuki’s last speaking tour of Australia. His dedication to protecting the environment is inspirational and we can all learn something from his wealth of knowledge. The world can no longer ignore climate change and global warming. We need to work together to protect our environment by focusing on more renewable energy, moving away from the high-consumption lifestyle and embracing sustainability. In doing so we will not only address global warming, we are likely as individuals to be happier.

The

COASTAL CONNECTION Police I am able to advise police numbers in the Ballina Electorate have been given a slight boost. This month, two officers will be stationed at Alstonville Police Station. These officers will generally not be diverted to Ballina. In addition, Ballina Police Station will be receiving an extra police car and two more officers. Ballina is a very busy Police Station and the extra car and officers will certainly aid in the police’s ability to respond quickly to incidents.

Brunswick Heads website I was recently able to be the first to activate a hyperlink to the newly developed Brunswick Heads website - www.brunswickheads.org.au now includes a direct link to my website www.donpage.com.au The Brunswick Heads website featured all the elements of the unique and beautiful coastal town, with hints on where to stay and where to eat, to all the interesting places and events found throughout Brunswick Heads. There is also information about local community groups, services and facilities. Community groups and businesses also have the opportunity to hyperlink to the new Brunswick Heads website. This website is a credit to the Brunswick Heads Community Project Office and those behind the ‘Brunswick Heads Simple Pleasures’ campaign. Brunswick Heads is now well and truly on the international map.

Byron Central Hospital Update I am able to advise the Committee overseeing the acquisition of land for the new Byron Central Hospital is actively considering three site options in the Byron Shire, with a view to a recommendation being made for the preferred site. The Byron Shire Central Hospital is part of the ‘one coastal hospital on two campuses’ concept and will complement the planned expansion of services at Ballina Hospital. The new Byron Central Hospital will include an accident and emergency department, an outreach rehabilitation unit, maternity services and private and public same day surgery arrangements. Planning for this project has been underway since 2003. Following the acquisition of a suitable site (which should be soon) the project will move into the construction design phase and undergo a procurement study.

Community Colleges I recently was able to announce the NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition policy is to reinstate funding for Community Colleges back to 200203 levels of $10.3 million a year. This will be done with incremental increases of $2 million per year between 2007/08 and 2009/10. The Ballina Electorate is home to several Community Colleges, all of which are being underfunded by the current Labor Government. Over the past four years however, the Labor Government has halved the funding for Community Colleges to $4.3 million this financial year. The sector now comprises only 0.04% of the State education budget yet provides a crucial educational and societal service to hundreds of thousands of people. Community Colleges are a vital element of our education system and deserve to be funded as such.

Under the State Constitution Act, electoral boundaries must be reviewed after two elections have been conducted using the same electoral boundaries. As a result, the NSW electoral boundaries including the Ballina Electorate have been redrawn to take into account population movements and growth. There are currently 4,276,695 electors in NSW and 93 seats in the Legislative Assembly. The new boundaries have therefore been redrawn to contain approximately 48,344 electors and will take effect in March 2007 at the NSW general election. Until this date the Ballina Electorate will remain as it is currently. Generally, the northern boundary of the Ballina Electorate has been moved southwards to just north of Ocean Shores so that Pottsville will become part of the Tweed Electorate. The southern boundary has been moved further south so that Wardell will once again be part of the Ballina Electorate.

Marine Parks The NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition’s policy is to review the Operational and Zoning Plans in all Marine Parks that have been gazetted, including the Cape Byron Marine Park. Whilst the Coalition does generally support Marine Parks, several current issues need to be addressed as part of the review, including some of the restrictions on recreational fishers and walking dogs on beaches. The Coalition’s policy is to also amend the Marine Parks Act to ensure there is public consultation about Marine Parks, their boundaries and their Operational and Zoning Plans before the Marine Park is gazetted, and to make it a requirement that the Minister responsible for Marine Parks actually takes into consideration community submissions before approving Operational and Zoning Plans.

STARS

It’s a good idea to get as much unfinished business sorted as you can manage before the weekend – because with Mercury doing its usual three week retrograde everything tends to get doubly difficult and take twice as long‌ ARIES: With Mars and Venus installed in Scorpio you know what you want, and let others know what to expect if they don’t cooperate – that’s Mars talking. Let Venus the sweetener tell them what’s in it for them – what they have to gain from meeting your expectations. TAURUS: A convivial, stimulating, emotionally taxing week which could push you to commit to something you know needs a lot more thought and consideration. If purposeful people won’t take no for an answer, you’re a Tauran – you know how to say back off. GEMINI: Like Joni Mitchell singing You don’t know what you got till it’s gone, this week

throughout pumping electronic beats, vocals, exotic woodwinds, world percussion. Triple J reported OKA’s Bellingen Global Carnival performance as ‘the freshest gig of the year!’ Having just returned from their third successful Canadian tour, and also performing in Singapore and New Zealand‌ they have the world in their sights. Catch them at Coorabell on the 28th. LENNOX HAIR Since last December four hairdressers have pooled their resources and expertise to work at Lennox Hair and have been wonderfully supported by the Lennox community. Because our Byron clientele is growing we need to let them know what’s happening; such as a rare half price Colour Sale (see ad). We have a ‘tiered hair-cut pricing’ system competitively ranging from $30

takes the Libran velvet glove off the Scorpio iron fist. A week of drama and power plays, in which something that at first seems highly desirable could carry a sting in its tail. CANCER: If you ever wanted to let go of something, cut the ties, walk away and make a new start, this week gives you plenty of strong backup in making the hard choices – and sticking to them. Same goes for small and meaningful as well as large and radical changes‌ LEO: Feel like you’re being awfully neglected, puss? And thinking that’s a bad thing? Thank your lucky Leo stars. Because if this week’s people aren’t ignoring you they’ll be trying to organise you, improve you and suggesting you’d better shape up, or else. VIRGO: Virgos are self stressers, which means you can always stop, let the pressure off, relax the quality controlling. If this week’s energy stimulates a burning desire to make changes, check in with those they’re going to affect. They’re likely to have ideas of their own.

A SPOT OF PAINT – UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY Byron’s new and exciting ceramic and art studio has just opened its doors. There is an extensive range of ceramic homeware for the adults and a great range of cute and crazy figurines for the children to paint. Reasonably priced with all materials, paints and tools provided, this funky central Byron venue is great for birthday parties, social groups and ladies nights, open seven days. Enquire about our relaxed art and ceramic workshops, LIBRA: As the time of The Sting intensifies, you’ll probably have to apply a bit of Libran healing therapy to this week: a light heart in a weighty situation, thoughtful attention or understanding where it’s lacking, a spirit-lifting gift or clever compromise. SCORPIO: With Venus, Mars, Mercury, Sun and Jupiter all sitting in Scorpio this week’s sound track is Bizet’s Carmen and the force couldn’t be more with you. You rule absolutely – and we haven’t even mentioned Pluto’s potent input. Demoted planet? I don’t think so. SAGITTARIUS: There’s a drama charge in the air this week – a kind of invisible maelstrom that engenders plenty of interesting situations to test your mettle and challenge your talents. Adventure definitely beckons, but be advised that the likelihood of accidents is high. CAPRICORN: In an extreme week like this one, some things succeed brilliantly while others inexplicably fall flat or slide out of control. There’s a high instability factor – but along with that, as always,

"IRTHDAY 0ARTIES BIEN ETRE A lecture not to be missed will be given by Ho’okahi, student and wife of Kahuna Abraham Kawaii at the Byron at Byron Resort on Tuesday October 31.

comes plenty of opportunities for change, growth and expansion. AQUARIUS: Whew! Talk about intense‌ If you need to walk away from a scenario that seems to be bubbling towards boiling point this week, do something different and quite unrelated till your perspective settles and the situation goes through its necessary changes. PISCES: With the major planetary emphasis in Scorpio, illusion’s doing her most bewitching dance, mixing dreams with reality. But nothing means zip this week unless you can give it workable form or structure – make it productive with measurable results.

LOST IN SPICE The new expanded edition of the classic Spice Notes and Recipes by Ian Hemphill with recipes By Kate Hemphill will be published this November by Macmillan Publishers Australia, priced at $59.95 hardcover. With over 60 delectable new recipes from Ian’s daughter, Kate, herb and spice mixes for the home cook, and the last word on all the herbs and spices used in today’s cooking, Spice Notes and Recipes is the master work from Australia’s premier spice expert. Ian (aka Herbie) gives a detailed breakdown of how various spices blend together to create the ethnic cuisines that now dominate Australian kitchens and takes us on a tantalising tour of the cultures that have been formed by the influences of the ancient spice trade. Spice Notes and Recipes is the complete compendium of herbs and spices for every kitchen. Ian Hemphill has spent his life surrounded by herbs and spices, with his parents John and Rosemary Hemphill pioneering the appreciation of herbs and spices in Australia in the 1950s. He has worked in nearly every aspect of the industry. With his wife Elizabeth he now shares his extensive knowledge with customers at their Sydney shop, Herbie’s Spices. Ian conducts spice appreciation classes, has presented a segment about herbs on Channel 7’s Surprise Chef and is a regular guest with Simon Marnie on ABC radio 702. Herbie also fits in guest spots on various radio and TV programs. His previous books for Pan Macmillan are Herbaceous, Spice Notes and Spice Travels. His website is www.herbies.com.au. Kate Hemphill was born in 1974, daughter of Ian and Elizabeth. After leaving school she had a successful career in advertising and marketing, while harbouring love and affection for all things culinary. Kate moved to the UK in 2000 to work and travel. In 2003 she trained at Leith’s School of Food and Wine, and since graduating has worked as a chef, food writer and home economist. She has represented Herbie’s Spices in the UK since they began exporting to that market in 2003. Kate’s cooking revolves around herbs and spices and their many uses and applications to a variety of foods.

What are spices? Spices are the buds, bark, roots, berries and aromatic seeds that are harvested for use in cooking. Herbs are the leaves of plants, so when we use coriander leaf we refer to it as a herb, however when we use coriander seed we say we are using a spice. Even the tiny filaments of saffron are referred to as a spice. Typical examples of spices are cloves (buds), cinnamon (bark), turmeric (root), peppercorns (berries), vanilla (the bean from a tropical orchid vine), cumin, coriander, dill and fennel (seeds). Hemphill has included exotic spices in his new edition such as: Ajowan, Asafoetida, Grains of Paradise, Kokam, Sumac, Purslane, Pandan Leaf and Pepper – Pink Schinus, Wattleseed, and Zedoary.

HERE WE ARE SITTING across the table from each other. The smart room of the restaurant stretches back, a narrow line of boothed, clothed tables; frames on the walls depict bright orange nudes, buttocks and breasts and thighs. I am navigating my way carefully through our conversation, as usual, confined to the slender range of subjects by which my mother will not be offended. Easiest, usually, to let her choose the topics – which translates as letting her simply talk. She is explaining now how this very old end of Civic was modelled on the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence complete right down to the ceramic Della Robbia medallions, and I am thinking that this is one of the ways I love her best, when the sharp clear force of her still-powerful intellect shines through, unmuddied by disapproval and contempt. She will not, after all, have a brandy, she tells the waiter who is waiting, anxious to begin the ordering. Which I do for both of us: her gnocchi with seared scallops and my smoked salmon for starters, then her snapper with prawn cannelloni and my olive-crusted salmon on polenta. This is my birthday treat for her, a fortnight too early but I am only in Canberra for several days. We have not seen each other in the eighteen months since my last visit here; well into her seventies now, my mother looks smaller every time I so rarely see her. I cast around in my mind for a safe topic to describe my distant far north coast life, and settle for an account of our recent move to the larger more luxurious office, with an exciting new computer thrown in which, furthermore, enables me access to non-stop music all day long via iTunes. She is bored beyond belief, though responds politely enough, and then we are rescued by the arrival of the entrees. Hers a tomatoey puddle supporting a perfect circle of same-sized gnocchi and scallops; mine a drape of wafer-fine pepper-specked salmon slices and three sweet discs of buckwheat pancake. We move on to what is surely one of the safest topics of them all, which is food. She tells me that in the ‘appalling’ Food and Wine supplement of The Canberra Times recently they ran a series on basic cooking techniques, and she had been shocked by the description of boiling vegetables ‘without the lid on!’ ‘But I never keep the lid on either,’ I interjected, ‘when I cook vegetables.’ ‘But darling you lose all the flavour and all the vitamins!’ I explain – cautiously, so as not to seem to attack – that the whole concept of vegetable cooking has changed enormously from the days when at least twenty minutes was required; that with most vegetables – vegetables like broccoli and green beans, for example – it was almost just a matter of simple blanching. I can see her face changing into the wounded brooding expression I know so well, the face of a woman who rarely requires correction. I can also see how our lovely evening is sliding away from us, sinking into a snippy disagreement over something unimportant. She tells me, head still lowered dangerously over her plate, that she knew all that, that she had read Len Deighton who had introduced her to the modern way of all things culinary. ‘Len Deighton!’ I am unable to stop myself, ‘he’s hardly modern – look at people like Jamie Oliver ‌’, and I know as soon as I mention the name that he would be one of the many people she would automatically despise, if only for his celebrity. The waiter seems to know when our table’s tension needs to be thinned out with the clatter of crockery, the pouring of wine. Our main meals are before us, looking like photographs from a food magazine, and for a while we eat and enthuse and admire. I want us to slow down, to order more wine, to slip into the easy intimacy we had the previous evening at home when she had served a cosy casserole and we had drunk too much and not stopped talking. Instead she has bolted down her snapper and the neat cylinder of cannelloni and is asking me if we are going to have pudding, and I am thinking that we have been in the restaurant barely forty minutes and it is nearly so unsatisfactorily over. After my cheese plate and her orange pannacotta we are back outside in the mild evening air, looking for a taxi that never comes. And so we walk home, me adjusting my pace to her slower one. I am fighting feelings of anger and for several blocks am unable to talk. We seem to have had this difficult, intense relationship my entire life – and yet I know how much we love each other. Maybe we are simply too alike. Beside me she trots in her beautiful embroidered Chinese blouse: she looks so slight and fragile I am horrified at my hard heart. We finish the walk in a conversation about animals and birds, and our loveliest sides join up to meet again.

MOVIE REVIEWS UNFOLDING FLORENCE Florence Boadhurst was a remarkable woman by any measure. Born in a hut in outback Queensland, she squeezed into half a life what most of us might never achieve in a dozen incarnations. Actress, artist and singer, seller of secondhand goods and trucks, traveller to China and India and uninhibited lover. And she did all that before happening on her true gift as a designer and manufacturer of wallpaper. Gillian Armstrong’s documentary, originally intended for television, has been extended to movie length through the sheer bulk of material and the expertise of screenwriter Katherine Thomson in telling the story. The mystery surrounding Florence’s brutal murder in 1977, aged 78, is not delved into as much as an audience weaned on juicy screen homicide might like, and perhaps too much time is given to talking heads by way of giving credence to the intimate recollections of the living. Archives, animation and stagy re-enactments are adroitly used, but just as intriguing is how it reveals our cultural schizophrenia. We criticise Australia’s ignorance of its artists, yet Florence,

who craved the limelight and believed centre-stage to be her rightful place, vigorously denied her origins in order to impress society and further her career. John Campbell

FAVO U R I T E M OV I E Q U OTAT I O N Nathan: Alice, please. Your dog, Alice. It and my appetite are mutually exclusive. Alice: Well, what’s wrong with the dog? Nathan: Simple. He’s been licking his asshole for the last three straight hours. I submit to you that there is nothing there worth more than an hour’s attention. I should think that whatever he is attempting to dislodge is either gone for good, or there to stay. Wouldn’t you agree?

THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT

BOYTOWN

"6 ĂŠ ĂŠĂˆĂˆnäĂŠnxxx

*ONSON 3T "YRON "AY NEXT TO 7OOLWORTHS WWW BYRONCINEMAS COM

Sometimes those laughing loudest on TV’s The Panel were members of The Panel. They seemed too pleased with themselves, and this movie, featuring performers from that show, momentarily gives the same impression. Boytown, once the world’s greatest boy band, re-form and, bombing with the girls, remake themselves to appeal to their mothers. Shrewd observation of popular culture, music industry types and the dynamics that operate among blokes is underpinned by a slowly revealed back story. If you are not a fan of the genre, the music tends to irritate, but it is cleverly composed and sounds right. Stadium gigs are convincing, the concluding surprise gag is sneakily prefaced and, if the reference to Apocalypse Now is indulgent and out of place – you half-expect it to be backed by canned laughter – it is only a blip in an otherwise witty and breezy script. As was achieved with the much loved The Castle, the two-card trick that allows you to feel superior at the same time that it is making you care about the characters is skilfully pulled off, resulting in a satisfying outing for both the arthouse crowd and the mainstream. I still can’t get the theme song out of my head. John Campbell

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Drugs in sport: get over it John Campbell When I learnt that the Beatles had been gorging themselves on LSD during the making of Sergeant Pepper’s I went straight to my record collection and and purged it of the corrupted vinyl. Just kidding. I did no such thing. I didn’t rip my Brett Whiteley poster off the wall when I heard what illicit chemicals were contributing to his creativity either, and I didn’t shred The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner from the pages of my anthology of great poets when I discovered that Samuel Taylor Coleridge had a fierce opium habit. Drug use in the arts is not so much an accepted indulgence as, in many cases, a prerequisite for success. Would Jack Kerouac and Keith Richards have attained their iconic status without consuming as much junk as they boastfully did? Should On The Road and Exile On Main Street be banned because of the chemically altered brains from which they sprung? I will admit to a feeling of hollowness when I woke to hear the news that Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson had failed a dope test after winning his gold medal at the Seoul Olympics. But that was 1988. In 2006, when the only groovers at dance parties not off their faces on the latest designer pill are the ones not having a good time, when parents happily administer to their child some prescribed laboratory concoction because

the kid has been diagnosed with a newly named and initialled behavioural disorder, sport seems prudish and precious to think that it should be free of drugs. The scandal of this year’s Tour de France, when Floyd Landis was stripped of his yellow jacket because his blood test revealed that he had been taking something he shouldn’t oughta, it barely registered on my outrage barometer. The big surprise was that he got nailed, what with masking agents being so sophisticated these days. Presently it is a pair of Pakistani cricketers, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, who have earned the wrath of retired sweathogs, highminded pundits and gin soaked officials. I once saw Akhtar bowl at the Gabba. The languid walk back to his mark, a vain flick of the lustrous black hair, the studied insouciance (‘What? I’m on camera?’), then the hell-bent run to the wicket and the explosive hurling of the missile – it was thrilling. Has nandrelone improved his performance? Who knows. He was already the world’s fastest bowler when he burst on to the scene as a youngster from Rawalpindi, whereas nowadays, according to Andrew Flintoff, he looks like Tarzan but bowls like Jane. Akhtar is a cheat because he has used a banned substance. If it is not banned (as painkillers are not) he is not a cheat. Those who condemn

him and his kind argue that they have an unfair advantage over those who decline the juice. Maybe. But do not our athletes, who are lavishly endowed with HECS-free grants to study at the AIS, have an even more pronounced advantage over the barefooted battlers of poorer countries? Ian Thorpe is naturally gifted, no doubt, but he is also the product of government sponsored playground triumphalism. Few gold medals come at a higher price to the public purse than an Australian one. Celebrity and wealth are all that matter, but the oppor-

SPORTS RESULTS

tunities to attain those glittering rewards are too few to go around. If sports people, like those in other fields, use whatever means are at their disposal to take the main chance, then so what? Get off their case. It’s society’s insatiable lust for bigger, higher, faster, its addiction to vicarious glory that pushes them. We’ll never get performance enhancing drugs out of sport if we can’t even get them out of the bedroom. Lord knows how many men tonight will be getting a legover thanks to a Viagra pumped erection. Pele swears by the stuff.

Cyclists help keep helicopter in the air The 9th annual Bottlemart Hell on Wheels Cycle Tour set off from Lismore on Saturday October 14 with fortyfive riders, including Mullum’s septuagenarian Ronald Webb, who has taken part in every one of them. Pedal power was put to the test over a gruelling 710 kilometre journey that culminated with the party’s arrival at Bowraville a week after setting off. The event was held to raise money for the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter. The mountain bike tour captured considerable public interest as it wound its way through Evans Head,Yamba, Wooli and Urunga. with riders taking time out to meet the locals at each stopover point. During the week, the group also visited a number of schools where they spoke to the children about bicycle safety and the vital role of the helicopter service, this year addressing the kids at the public schools of Corindi Beach, Upper Orara and Raleigh. ‘The tour is one of our longest running and most

Local riders who did the hard yards. Dean Gibson (Suffolk Park), Ronald Land (Byron), Roland Webb (Mullumbimby), Brian O’Connor (Byron), Paul & Sue Green (Bangalow)

successful fund-raising events,’ said Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter General Manager Perry Wells. ‘We are indebted to event manager Tony Keogh, who has been behind every cycle tour since its inception. People like Tony, and events

like this help keep our helicopters in the air 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.’ ‘Anyone who volunteers to ride over 700 kilometres in eight days has to be truly dedicated to the cause and deserves the full support of

the community,’ said Bottlemart’s Area Manager David Kook. Designed for riders at all levels, in the time that it has been running, the Tour has raised more than $300,000 for the rescue helicopter service.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Swimmers urged to stay safe The advice is timely and cannot be repeated enough as we head into the summer months. With warm to hot weather just around the corner, tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to our beaches and surf lifesavers are urging beachgoers to stay safe. Forecasters are predicting a long hot summer with temperatures regularly soaring into the mid to high thirties. With school holidays and the seasonal influx of tourists, Byron Shire will see huge crowds flocking to its beaches, many of whom will be inexperienced in the conditions and surf lifesavers are warning the public to be wary in the water. Craig Roberts, Lifesaving Operations Manager for Surf Life Saving NSW, says that if people choose to swim at unpatrolled areas or outside patrol hours they are putting themselves at an unnecessary risk.

NSW Sport and Recreation is offering parents, teachers and coaches the opportunity to gain a formal accreditation in swimming coaching. Australian swimming has a five tier coaching system. All coaches must commence by gaining a Green Licence Accreditation which focuses on developing the technique of novice swimmers. Topics include: being an effective swimming coach; the mechanics of swimming; starts, turns and finishes; technique and fault identification and developing competitive strokes in the areas of ‘Volunteer lifesavers have returned to the beach and will be on duty up and down the coast, while professional lifeguards also patrol many beaches throughout the state,’ said Mr Roberts. ‘If swimmers do happen to get into trouble their chances of being

Tobacco ban commended The Heart Foundation has commended the announcement by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Health and Ageing, Christopher Pyne, banning the advertising of tobacco at all sporting events in Australia as from October 1 2006. This follows an amendment to the Act in 2000 removing discretionary power for events of international significance. ‘This is a very positive step by the Federal Government to further reduce smoking in the community and with it heart disease,’ said Maurice Swanson, Manager of the Heart Foundation’s Tobacco Control Program. ‘However, while the rates

Accreditation course for swim coaches

of smoking have been falling, there is still much more that governments across Australia can do, including: regularly increasing tobacco tax; banning the display of cigarettes in retail outlets; and requiring the plain packaging of cigarettes,’ he said. Further data from Tobacco Smoking in Australia: A Snapshot 2004-05, shows that around 20 per cent of Australian adults (3.5 million) continue to smoke with an estimated 1.7 million likely to suffer premature death. With a hectic schedule of Fourex beach cricket and VB international one-dayers coming up, it is unlikely that the ban will be applied to alcohol any time soon.

rescued are significantly higher if they are inside the flags at patrolled beaches. ‘Swimming outside the flags or at unpatrolled beaches just to beat the crowds is extremely dangerous, as is entering the water alone. As always, the message to all beachgoers is to always swim with a mate, and to swim between the flags.’ Beachgoers can also only ignore the constantly extreme UV conditions at their peril and the importance of everybody being aware of the need

for skin protection cannot be understated. Nor should people neglect to constantly reapply sunscreen after being in the water. ‘The best place to spend a hot Aussie day is at the beach, however people have to be sun smart,’ said Mr Roberts. ‘Each summer, surf lifesavers attend to thousands of people affected by heat exhaustion, which in many instances is avoidable. ‘In hot weather conditions the public should always keep their fluid levels up, wear a

hat when out of the water and not spend too long in direct sunlight, especially during the peak periods of the day from 10 am to 4 pm.’ If in doubt about whether their local beach will be patrolled by lifeguards from Monday to Friday, the public can contact their local council, or visit their council web site.

Rowing squad announced by NCAS Skennars Head athletes, Jodie and Tahlia Butler have been chosen in an elite group of sixteen from the North Coast Academy of Sports for its rowing program. As well as producing outstanding performances at state and national regattas over the previous competition season, each athlete has been selected after extensive testing throughout the North Coast during the past month. The medal count from across all squad members in the previous twelve months includes eight national championship medals, of which seven were gold. ‘Our 2006-07 rowing program has been greatly improved through the introduction of the new Pre-Elite tier which will better service the needs of these higher achieving squad members,’ said John Kincade, NCAS sports liaison officer. ‘We normally would not name any of our academy sport squads as “pre-elite� but

freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. ‘Australia has a proud history when it comes to swimming, but athletes are only as good as the coaching they receive,’ said Lyn Larsen, Cluster Coordinator for the North Coast Region. ‘If we are to continue to produce people like Ian Thorpe we need to have good coaches in place at the local level,’ she said. ‘This is also a great opportunity for parents as the course will give them the skills to provide valuable support to their children.’ The Green Licence Accreditation will take place at the Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre on Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th December, 9.00 am to 4.00 pm each day.The course fee is $335.00. For further information or an application form, phone NSW Sport and Recreation on 6618 0400.

in this case, with the success of these athletes at state and national level and the potential that we can see in them, the term is much deserved.’ ‘Our goal for these athletes over the next 12 to 24 months is to bring each of them closer to selection into the NSW Rowing Blues Squad and national junior

or under 23 selection.’ The Pre-Elite program involves live-in camps being held approximately every four weeks between October and April. Athletes’ local club coach is known as an Academy satellite coach and will also attend the camp to share experiences with the other coaches attending. NCAS, supported by foundation partners NSW Sport & Recreation and Southern Cross University, is best known for its junior talent identification and development programs which it conducts in basketball, canoe sprint, cycling, hockey, lawn bowling, netball, rowing, rugby, sailing, softball, surf life saving, swimming, tennis and triathlon.
