MPs raise concerns over whooping cough epidemic

Call for better birthing options

Member for Ballina Don Page and Member for Lismore Thomas George have engaged in a campaign to increase people’s awareness of the current whooping cough epidemic and the importance of being immunised. Mr Page and Mr George are encouraging all parents to vaccinate their children (after two months of age) and adults to get a booster. Mr Page recently raised this issue in the NSW Parliament, highlighting the whooping cough epidemic on the north coast of NSW. This follows the tragic death of Dana McCaffery, at four weeks of age from Pertussis (Whooping Cough). Mr Page said until Dana McCaffery’s death hardly anyone knew about the epidemic. ‘More than 7,200 cases of whooping cough have been reported in NSW in 2009, and we are only halfway through the year,’ he said. ‘Children and teenagers from newborns up to 19 years of age are the most vulnerable.

Low vaccination rate ‘The Northern Rivers has one of the lowest vaccination rates in NSW and the Department of Health should make adults aware that the whooping cough vaccinations they received as children will wane after ten to 12 years. ‘In 2008 on the north coast 37 people with whooping cough were admitted to hospital including 17 babies aged less than 12 months. I believe it is important that we as a community ensure we are vaccinated against preventable diseases such as Whooping Cough. Mr George said, ‘The death of Dana McCaffery, who as a tiny baby caught whooping cough from someone else, should make people more aware of the dangers of whooping cough, especially to young children who can’t be immunised until they are two months old.’

Some 250 locals last Saturday took to the street as part of the Maternity Coalition National Day of Action. Mothers, babies in strollers and ‘pregnant’ men marched down Jonson Street, Byron Bay, and took part in a celebratory gathering in Railway Park. Vicki-lee McAllister of the Northern Rivers Maternity Action Group (NRMAG) said, ‘We are proud to be a part of this national event that will bring important birthing issues to the attention of politicians and the wider community.’ Ms McAllister said insurance companies and the federal government are refusing to include homebirths in an upcoming indemnity scheme, so

midwives could be deregistered if they take part. ‘We’re very happy with the result that midwives will have access to Medicare and PBS and will have some subsidy of their professional indemnity insurance but the federal government has clearly stated that it will not support their professional indemnity insurance if they attend homebirths.’ Ms McAllister said women who would prefer to have their babies at home are being discriminated against and put at risk. ‘There’s a large number of women who are very committed to having their babies at home and we believe that a proportion of those women will birth at home without a midwife. We believe that the federal

government has a duty of care to provide a registered midwife to a woman if she chooses to homebirth so as to reduce the risk.’ Maternity Coalition’s national president Lisa Metcalfe said, ‘We are really pleased that Nicola Roxon is trying to engineer the biggest changes to maternity we’ve seen in a century. Providing midwives with access to Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme will increase women’s choice and improve access to maternity care with a known midwife and is a significant achievement. ‘Maternity Coalition is very concerned though that many of the women who currently access this care will

Special

miss out with proposed government changes. If the National Registration of all health professionals continues as planned, it will effectively ban homebirth with a midwife. ‘While gains have been made for women and midwives we are taking a big step backward for a woman’s right to choose her place of birth. Maternity Coalition’s vision is for all Australian women to be able to choose where, how and with whom they birth,’ said Ms Metcalfe.

East series 2 launched in the Bay Victoria Cosford

The second series of ABC-1’s East of Everything was launched recently at the Buddha Bar of Byron Bay’s Piggery. A crowd of around 150 turned up to celebrate both its launch and that of the soundtrack to the series, which features many local musicians. The event was also a fundraiser for the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF) whose Bluesfest Fund supports young local musicians. Co-creators and writers Deb Cox and Roger Monk joined producer Fiona Eagger in introducing the event and acknowledging the support of the community. Series 2 East of Everything begins on ABC-1 at 7.30 p.m Writers Deb Cox and Roger Monk with one of the stars, Byron-based Mouche Phillips, centre. on Saturday July 25.

More federal aged care funds for north coast Richmond MP and Minister for Ageing Justine Elliot has announced an additional 98 residential aged care places – more than two-thirds high care places – and 29 community care packages for the Richmond electorate. The federal government has provided more than $4.5 million a year for these places, which are in addition to the more than 1,300 residential places and more than 300 community care packages in the region, worth more than $50 million a year. These places form part of the 10,447 new aged care places announced under the latest Aged Care Approvals Round (ACAR). The north coast aged care service providers will also benefit from $66,131 in Community and Flexible Care Grants that will help to purchase essential equipment such as office equipment or

motor vehicles or provide funds for staff recruitment. ‘As the service demands of older Australians change, so too must the mix of services provided through Australian government funding,’ Ms Elliot said in a press release. ‘Older Australians have told the government that they wish to remain independent, in their own homes and in their communities. Community care services help many people stay at home instead of moving prematurely into a residential aged care facility. ‘Not everyone will need a residential facility but if they do older Australians want to be able to access a high quality and affordable nursing home that meets their care needs. ‘The boost to community care on the north coast is directed at nursing, personal care support and providing assistance to people with dementia.’

The Byron Dental Surgery has been purchased by Dr Rod Whitehead as of July 1st from Dr Walter Lown. Rod is a Canadian, who has spent the last ten years working in a busy Specialist Dental practice in Cos Harbour. Books are now reopened and the surgery will be operating A FULL 5 DAYS.

All patients are welcome, including bulk-billing for • Medicare EPC patients • Veterans Aairs patients and Teen Dental Vouchers.

The new community care places are in addition to the Home and Community Care (HACC) services provided to elderly and disabled people through the $1.2 billion in Australian government funding that will be provided to the states and territories for 2009-10. Last year this program assisted more than 830,000 Australians. On average, over the next

four years, the Commonwealth will contribute nearly $45,000 a year a resident. In addition, on average, residents contribute approximately $20,000 a year to their care. (The government pays for those who are unable to afford this.) Additional information on the 2008-2009 Aged Care Approvals Round is available at www.health.gov.au/acar20082009

New bush food guide launched A new guide to teach primary school children not only about bush foods in their local areas, but also how to grow and eat them, was launched last week at Goonellabah Primary School.

Council confirms Woolies knockback Michael McDonald

Byron Shire Councillors voted 6-1 last Thursday to refuse a section 68 certificate for onsite sewage treatment at Woolworths’ proposed new supermarket in Station Street, Mullumbimby. Council had deferred the matter at its June 11 meeting while it sought a further staff report. Council refused Woolworths’ application on the grounds it had failed ‘to demonstrate that appropriate arrangements can be made for the management of sewage generated by the development’. According to the reasons for refusal, Woolworths had failed to demonstrate, among other things, that provision had been made for preventing the spread of disease by micro-organisms, the spread of foul odours, contamination of water, or that people would not come into contact with untreated sewage or effluent in their ordinary activities on the premises. Woolworths made a last minute play to have the matter deferred. During public access Woolworths senior development manager Graeme Jones said Woolworths was prepared to work with Council to de-

sign a new wastewater system. He said Woolworths would install an extra storage tank on the site so that pumpout was not required. Also during public access Garry Scott, a member of the Mullumbimby Community Access Network (MCAN), said that ‘something stinks’ in the way that Woolworths’ proposal was handled at all government levels. He said the site was not suitable for wastewater treatment. Putting up the motion to refuse, Cr Tom Tabart said he supported ‘the strong recommendation for refusal in our report and its lucid technical justification but I am totally floored by the inclusion, as an annex, of a set of conditions purporting to be a “pragmatic“ justification for approval of what we all know (whether we admit it or not) is nothing but a frayed tightrope over a crocodile pond. It contravenes most of our planning controls and relies on risky concessions, fudged definitions, pie in the sky claims of good intentions but still ends up as a pumpout system that will set a precedent for every DA that is waiting in the wings for the end of the moratorium.

‘I don’t recall Council having ever requested a “pragmatic“ alternative but there it was in all its smirking malice when we opened our notes for the last meeting – lurking like a gold-plated Trojan Horse all saddled up by our own officers for Woolworths to ride straight to the Land and Environment Court. Following on a later question from Cr Tabart, general manager Graeme Faulkner said it was usual to have conditions of consent prepared for possible presentation to the L&E Court and they would not undermine Council’s reasons for refusal. Cr Diane Woods was the only councillor in favour of a deferral while Woolworths worked up new plans for wastewater, saying it was unfair to deny Woolworths the opportunity. Her amendment along those lines lapsed for want of a seconder. Crs Tucker and Heeson were absent from the meeting.

In a subsequent press release, MCAN coordinator Deborah Lilly said, ‘After 18 months of a fiery community fight to keep the Big Box out of Mullumbimby, Woolworths have now left town with their tail between their legs. [The] last ditch attempt by Woolworths to provide new onsite sewage plans – yet again – was not esteemed by councillors to be “in the public good� and the application was refused. ‘However, the plans for the supermarket have been approved by the State Planning Minister, and when the new sewage treatment plant is built in Mullumbimby, Woolworths will be able to connect to that. This may be some years away. ‘Meanwhile, the Mullumbimby Community Action Network is celebrating, and enjoying a well-earned respite. They will keep up the fight to stop Woolworths coming to Mullumbimby.’

Moves to make youth hitching safer Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Last Thursday the hard work of several young local women was presented to the public at Mullumbimby High School. The group has been working together with Deb Pearse from the Byron Youth Service on a project to promote safety when hitchhiking, an idea that came about after the tragic death of a well-known local girl Aine Egan when she was hitching at night. The ‘Hitch Safe’ project is a harm minimisation strategy aimed at reducing the risk to local young people who are hitchhiking due to lack of transport options, lack of finances and due to the distances that many have to travel. ‘This project in no way promotes hitchhiking,’ said Ms Pearse. ‘We would rather young people didn’t hitch due to the dangers, but we hope to provide information and safe strategies for those young people who do use it as a mode of transport.’ The BYS applied for funding as was granted $5,000 from the Ministry of Transport for the project. It initially began with some of the young people from the Byron Community Campus but as they moved on it was taken up by 14 Mullumbimby High students who attend the Youth-

linx Young Women’s group. The girls put a lot of work into the project and came up with the slogan ‘Watch Your Behind, Some Spots are Blind’, an information brochure with ten safe hitching tips and the graphics and idea of fluorescent orange slap bands with Hitch Safe printed on them and a tote bag printed with the slogan. The idea is that if young people wear the slap bands and carry the bags when they’re hitching they are identified as local young people and hopefully locals are more likely to pick them up and watch out for them. After much discussion and

research the safe hitching tips the girls decided on are: wear your Hitch Safe slapbands and bags, keep a mobile in your pocket just in case, try not to hitchhike alone, travel with a friend, pick safe locations with good light, always be polite, wear bright clothing to be seen, stand where the driver can safely pull over, trust your instincts! Don’t feel compelled to accept a lift just because someone has stopped and keep your belongings close to you. A good place to hitch is from a footpath or the grassy area beside the road. Aine’s mother Louiza was

at the launch of the project. ‘The frustration of being a parent is that your children do not always do what you want them to do,’ said Louiza. ‘We would rather our children didn’t hitch hike, but we know you will do certain things that we wish you wouldn’t. At least now we have some resources to help keep you safe.’ It is hoped that some time in the near future, a fund in Aine’s name can be started to continue to produce and distribute these safety items. Anyone wanting further information or resources please phone or sms Deb on 0403 613 229.

BU calls for input on Council tourism plan Business lobby group Byron United’s sub-group Byron Bay Tourism is urging the tourism industry to be aware of Byron Shire Council’s proposed amendments to the draft Tourism Management Plan (TMP) developed last year by Southern Cross University’s Australian Regional Tourism Research Centre (ARTRC). The proposed amendments

to the plan are on public exhibition until July 27 and Byron Bay Tourism, Byron United and the Byron Visitor Centre urge all to make a submission regarding the proposed amendments. Holly Galbraith, Chair of Byron Bay Tourism, said ‘The fact the plan went on public exhibition in the first place was baffling and now the proposed amendments undermine its

core purpose: to effectively and efficiently manage tourism in the shire.’ Byron Bay Tourism believes such major changes to the draft Tourism Management Plan negate the work undertaken by the ARTRC, which was paid for by Council. ‘Council raised funds through last year’s rate rise specifically for tourism management,’ said Ms Galbraith,

‘yet they state that none of this money can be used before the TMP is adopted. ‘If these current amendments are adopted we will end up with a Tourism Advisory Committee stacked against tourism. ‘The original draft plan submitted to Council was well-researched and the community had ownership of it as they were so involved in its development.’

New drop-in centre for the Bay a step closer Michael McDonald

A new drop-in centre for Byron Bay is a step closer with Byron Shire councillors last week deciding in favour of allowing its 18 Fletcher Street property to be used for that purpose by the Byron Community and Cultural Centre (BCCC). Councillors also resolved to look at donating $25,300 as a contribution towards the annual rent of $40,300. During public access BCCC

manager Paul Spooner and Ian Leggo of the St Vincent de Paul Society spoke in favour of the proposal. Mr Spooner said the drop-in centre would be the end of the process begun three years ago with the Beggars Banquet in Railway Park. Mr Leggo said the centre would be well-used.

to ease traffic congestion in Byron Bay. The proposed crossing would run off Butler Street south of the Railway Friendly Bar and the visitor centre and link up with Jonson Street opposite Marvell Street. Before proceeding, Council resolved to undertake consultation with surrounding landholders and stakeholders, Second crossing including the Australian Rail Councillors decided not to Track Corporation (ARTC).

Some months ago, artist Tracey Dingley of Sunshadow Slippers handed a basket containing 50 pairs of beautifully crafted felt slippers, hand-made in her studio, to local charity African LEAF. The slippers were generously donated to the African LEAF sponsored children who live and attend the Mbagathi Steiner School in Nairobi and to other children who board at the school. African LEAF director John Adam carried the slippers with him on his recent visit to Nairobi and the happy faces of the children said it all. There was great excitement on their arrival and the children were delighted to receive the brightly coloured slippers. The home life of many children who attend the school is extremely difficult. Many parents have died of AIDS or their families live in poverty – often whole families living in one-

room shacks in the slums of Nairobi – and jobs are scarce. At the same time, the cost of food has risen sharply and families struggle to survive. The slippers will help keep the boarding children’s feet warm indoors during the current winter but many other children walk a great distance to school and are in need of new school shoes. The boarders too

are short on school shoes. If you would like to donate a few dollars towards a pair of shoes for a struggling African child, or if you are interested in sponsoring a Kenyan child’s education, please contact African LEAF on 0407 573 386 for information or bank account details or send your donation by cheque to PO Box 1823, Byron Bay 2481.

Five years in the making, bigger than Ben Hur, Byron Shire Council’s repair of Lighthouse Road, Byron Bay, is now due to be completed by September 2010. The long-running controversy surrounding the project began with a landslip under a boardwalk in June 2005 on the road to the lighthouse, resulting in a partiallyclosed thoroughfare and the installation of the Bay’s first traffic lights. In a press release last week, Byron Shire Council’s director of asset management services, Phil Holloway, said the revised geotechnical investigation of Lighthouse Road has been completed. ‘Consultants GHD presented a number of options to staff and these have recently been put forward to Cape Byron Headland Trust,’ Mr Holloway

said. ‘The meeting was positive and we have been advised that the Trust has accepted our recommended option.’ Mr Holloway said he anticipates the GHD report and new design will go to Council in August. ‘It is anticipated that the revised design will be more cost effective and attract a wider range of contractors tendering for the project. The tender process is expected to take three months. ‘The new design will also have to undergo environmental and Aboriginal heritage assessments and requires the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) to sign off as the funding body. ‘The restoration works at Lighthouse Road are a high priority project, however the planning, investigation, design and construction are complex

due to the location of the work. The work has required significant geotechnical investigation, design, environmental planning and funding. ‘The complex nature of the project required specialist design and construction as the work is outside the normal scope of Council activities. Similarly there is a great deal of consultation with National Parks, RTA and engineering consultants to repair the road.’ Despite Natural Disaster Funding for the project initially being approved by the RTA only one tender was received in January 2008. ‘At the time, the RTA declined to provide additional funding for the contract and suggested additional design investigation,’ Mr Holloway said. www.echo.net.au

Authors Susan Varga and David Leser at the launch of her book in Brunswick Heads. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Susan Varga was born in Hungary and came to Australia as a child. Armed with an MA in English Literature and a law degree, Susan has worked variously as a teacher, in community video and film, and briefly as a lawyer before settling in to being a fulltime writer in the early 1990s. One of her earlier books, Heddy and Me, won the Christina Stead Award for Biography/Autobiography and was short listed for several other major awards as was another of her books, Happy Families. Susan now divides her time between the Southern Highlands of NSW and Ocean Shores and recently launched

her latest novel Headlong, reading excerpts from the book. Susan’s story draws heavily on the rich culture of her ethnic background. Within its pages the story describes the gradual merging of the inner landscape of grief with the life-giving wider world. Against the backdrop of the Howard government’s Australia, Kati tells the dramatic story of her elderly mother’s desire to die. Vital octogenarian Julia Denes suddenly loses her husband Gabor and, along with him, her will to live. Kati watches helplessly as this once energetic woman, who had survived the Holocaust and made a good life in Australia, spirals into depression and tries to take her life.

The novel examines the disruption of relationships, the way private worlds become intertwined with larger events and the struggle to reconnect with life after overwhelming tragedy. It is a meditation on the ways people deal with death and bereavement; the ‘untidy cruelty of grief – the sheer grind of it.’ The story also asks the question: how do we deal with the notion that sometimes, life is not worth living? Headlong is available at local bookstores. Susan will appear at the Writer’s Festival ‘In Conversation’ with author David Leser on Sunday August 9.

8 July 7, 2009 The Byron Shire Echo

Enlightened in so many other initiatives, the Federal Health Department has a definite blind spot when looking at homebirth. According to an article by Kate Benson, (SMH, June 30) The Byron Bay Coroner Nick Reimer has just concluded that homebirth ‘is a mother’s inherent right and a practice that will not go away’. This followed an inquest into baby Jasper Kosch-Coyne who died enroute to Nimbin hospital ‘after midwife Jillian Delaile failed to seek help when it was clear he could be swallowing meconium in the womb’. The report went on to say that ‘Ms Delaile had attended the birth on her own, had not organised transport in case of an emergency and did not transfer Jasper’s mother’. There was much more but fortunately the midwife was cleared of blame for the tragedy by the wise coroner who pointed out ‘a series of shortcomings’ had contributed to the baby’s death. Some longer-term residents of the Byron Shire may remember me as the principal of a midwife based homebirth team in Mullumbimby. We operated for over ten years and attended many hundreds of births with a perfect safety record, due to careful management and some luck. The statistics are recorded in my book Birth at Home (Doubleday 1990). The service eventually collapsed due to a lack of support from health officials. But that was twenty years ago and such an attitude was understandable in those far-off times.

Without knowing the details, it appears to me that there may be some people of influence in the policy section of the Health Department who may harbour a prejudice against homebirth. It has been my observation that those people who vigorously oppose homebirth have never attended one. I can testify that homebirth, properly conducted, is mostly a beautiful affair. Hannah Dahlen from the Australian College of Midwives was quoted by Benson, who said ‘such tragedies would become more commonplace if home birthing was made illegal’. How is the practice suddenly to become illegal? At the moment it is so much on the fringe that expectant women are taking great risk and going it alone without professional help. It’s called ‘freebirth’. The practice is certainly free of charge but also free of safety. The government, it seems, wants to nail homebirth by making midwife insurance compulsory. That seems a logical idea, but whoops, there’s Catch 22. No insurance is available, due to the small numbers of homebirth

midwives, not enough for a basis in underwriting by private insurers. It has nothing at all to do with safety. Sole midwives, terrified of harsh judgements from the hospitals, can tend to stay away when they should be looking for help sooner. Also, in an emergency, a single midwife is not enough. In any case, avoiding emergencies is better practice in avoiding such a ‘series of errors’. My homebirth service used a team approach with careful pregnancy screening and appropriate referrals. Useful emergency equipment including oxygen was present at every birth. In relation to medical indemnity, I think I had some, because my insurer did not think to exclude homebirth in the policy. I never asked and fortunately it was never tested. Such convenient confusion is no longer possible in today’s buttoned-down environment. In reality my assets may have been at risk, as is the case for some homebirth midwifes who have been subjected to legal bullying. I know more than one who

have lost their homes to the process of overwhelming and relentless litigation. But now, Government has been clearly and directly informed by the Coroner to reconsider policy, an unusual step for a coroner to take. It means that there is no excuse to continue in ignorance. The moral responsibility sheets home directly to those officials and politicians who are so blind they will not see. The onus is on the Federal Minister for Health to take charge and correct this absurdity, to create national guidelines for safe homebirth practice which hopefully includes medical input for extra safety. It would encourage quality people to work in a protected environment. Insurance for accredited practitioners under the Treasury Managed Fund is the key, just like in hospital practice. Are the state and federal governments up to the lifesaving challenge laid down by the Coroner? The continuing risk of death in mothers and babies is too harsh a punishment just over a clash of ideological views. I realise this is strong language but I have over the years heard stories of far too many innocent deaths as a direct result of the no-homebirth policy. The time for change is now before the new die in childbirth policy is to be cast in the corridors of Canberra. Who knows? With proper insurance and bureaucratic support the old team of midwives and doctors could form up yet again to re-engage in responsible homebirth.

A workshop on community food self-reliance is being offered in Mullumbimby in a well-timed move to increase awareness of the issue. With Northern Rivers councils recently the recipients of a $2 million grant from the NSW Department of Environmental and Climate Change towards a project about sustainable practices and networks in food production, the focus is in place for increasing dialogue by and within the community. Robina McCurdy, founder of the Institute for Earthcare Education Aotearoa in New Zealand, is currently visiting the region to present workshops and deliver presentations on permaculture design strategies, food-growing communities, efficient use of local resources and regional food economies. For three decades she has been engaged in broad-scale com-

Big demand for free food larder Story & photo Victoria Cosford

It took about four weeks for Liberation Larder in Byron Bay ‘to suddenly go bang’, according to founder Honu Dawson. Operating in a room at the back of the Community and Cultural Centre on Friday afternoons, it now averages 60-70 people who come to help themselves to free food – a figure, moreover, which is increasing by about 15 per cent every week. Doors open at 3pm to reveal trestle tables burdened with a vibrant profusion of fruit, vegetables, baked goods, tinned food, cheeses and eggs; the air is fragrant with heating soups and casseroles – and within three minutes there is nothing left. Supre donated the recycled, recyclable cloth bags with which attendees arm themselves and which they will fill to bursting point. The donations have been extraordinary: ‘Every single local-production wholesaler is contributing to this’, said Honu, ‘as well as Santos and Fundies’. And perhaps the biggest coup has been Woolworths. After lengthy negotiations Honu and her Liberation Larder are now a ‘test case’ for the supermarket giant; if it works here in Byron Bay, ‘139 other stores will come on board’. Already she has had the guarantee of donations from

Ballina Woolworths. It’s not just the quantity of food donations that impresses Honu – it’s also the quality. A group of women from Suffolk Park have started contributing exquisite casseroles, soups, bread-and-butter puddings, bakes, friands and Melting Moments; there are Baked Ricottas courtesy of Cheese Please, gourmet pies from Byron Bay Pies, Byron Muffin Men muffins and vats of honey from Tyagarah. Honu has about seven volunteers to help her on the day. Setting up the room takes around three hours: after inten-

sive cleaning there are quality checks on all the food, repackaging and labelling, decisions on how it should be consumed to be safe. And then of course the beautiful, mouth-watering display of it all. Honu cannot speak highly enough about the level of assistance she receives, especially from backpackers ‘who don’t deserve the bad rap they so often get.’ The mission statement is: ‘There is no judgement’ but in addition she has had to set down some clear rules such as ‘No more scrum tackles’ and ‘You need a recycled bag.’ Her eyes twinkle. ‘Where

will it end?’ she asks. ‘This is just the tip of the iceberg.’ Her ‘big vision’ is to eventually open the place up as a restaurant where people can come and eat and just make a coin donation. She is about to head off to Europe for a couple of months but will be leaving the operation in the capable hands of Sally Whelan and Rachael Jones, two English backpackers who have become her ‘right-hand men’. Honu believes that Liberation Larder goes to prove that Byron Bay is, after all, the special, bighearted, nurturing place it has long professed to be.

Comment

The gap is closing, very slowly Volume 24 #05

July 7, 2009

‘Freedom’ of speech Byron Shire Council’s public access session was packed last week. It ran for over two hours and pushed the ordinary meeting proper back from 10.30am to midday. Admittedly the numbers in the public gallery were swelled by hopeful petitioners for money under Council’s donations to community organisations scheme. As Mayor Jan Barham noted, the public addresses pointed out how much good voluntary work was going on in the community. The mood was not noticeably soured by former councillor Fast Buck$’s comment from the gallery to one volunteer that that the money had ‘all been spent on court cases, love’. As well as the petitioning, we heard public addresses on a number of issues: Belongil beachfront, development applications, a Bangalow bypass, second railway crossing for Byron Bay, Woolworths DA for Mullum, traffic calming devices for New Brighton, and more. Not only that, Labor’s ‘duty MLC’ for the north coast Amanda Fazio had escaped from Summer Hill in Sydney to address Council and to hand over 42 grand in disaster relief funding, which was heartily welcomed by the mayor. All of this was observed by Upper Coopers Creek school students, who must have had an interesting diversion from their usual curriculum. There were grumblings that not all speakers received equal time, but it was a pretty hard juggling act for Cr Barham. Fast Buck$ (aka John Anderson) outlines a number of his ‘gripes’ about the meeting and the mayor in letters to the editor this week. On the day he also complained about Council’s PA system. With that I agree: part of the frustration comes from councillors, residents, staff and the media not being able to hear what is said through the fixed-in-place microphones. The restraints on freedom of speech got an interesting – and sometimes humorous – airing at the end of public access when Buck$ asked on what grounds general manager Graeme Faulkner saw fit to prevent residents ‘casting aspersions’ during public access. The GM’s answer illumined some of the dangers Council – and ratepayers’ funds – face under current defamation law. Similar to the dangers facing newspapers, Council can be sued for defamatory comments ‘published’ during one of its meetings. Mind you, Mr Faulkner sought a retraction and apology over remarks made by a resident about a report from one of Council’s own directors, which the resident described as ‘dangerous’, hardly the stuff of major litigation. You can understand why Mr Faulkner (and the mayor) would be testy on the subject. According to the GM, Council is involved in a number of defamation cases – even though the rest of us would have no idea how the plaintiffs had suffered at Council’s hands. You need to be rich to bring a defamation case – 30 grand just to get going – and it seems to me a win does nothing to protect the plaintiff’s reputation. Good deeds mean more than punitive damages in the public eye. Of course our state MPs are protected from the perils our councillors face – under the ‘privilege’ of parliament they can madly cast aspersions, unfounded or not, which has led to the description of parliament as ‘cowards’ castle’. While not advocating a cowards’ castle at local government level, a little qualified privilege might lessen the stuffiness of council meetings and lead to a ‘full and frank’ exchange of views. I can see this change coming right about the time Hell freezes over… – Michael McDonald, editor

well-established political truism in Australia is that there are no votes in Aboriginals, and it is one most politicians from all parties hold to be self-evident. But to their credit this has not prevented them from trying to do something – anything – about this most intractable of social issues. Since the referendum of 1967 every federal government with the possible exception of that of Billy McMahon has come to office with policies designed to at least make a difference to Aboriginal disadvantage. Labor leaders in particular have remained true to Gough Whitlam’s great promise: ‘We will grant Aboriginals land rights, not only because the case for them is beyond argument, but because all of us as Australians are diminished while the Aboriginals are denied their rightful place in our community.’ He did indeed initiate land rights, and Malcolm Fraser followed through with the policy. Bob Hawke set up genuine participation through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, Paul Keating made his historic Redfern speech accepting responsibility for the destruction of the traditional Aboriginal lifestyle and Kevin Rudd kicked off his regime with the long-overdue apology to the stolen generations. But it is fair to say that none of them really followed through; as more urgent problems demanded attention and wider public concerns needed to be addressed Aboriginal issues were relegated to the backburner. There were, after all, no votes in them. Once the policies were announced, their implementation was left to the bureaucrats, most of whom while reasonably well intentioned were pretty second rate; understandably the

Educational standards have improved; there is now a rapidly growing group of indigenous Australians with professional qualifications and a far greater proportion who make it at least to secondary level. Health and housing remain appalling by white Australian standards but again, there have been measurable improvements. The gap is closing, but it is closing very slowly and often erratically; too often it seems a case of two steps forward and one step back. And of course modernisation, to use the latest buzzword, brings its own problems, notably the breakdown of traditional authority, both tribal and parental, and the introduction of drugs. And in the process public priorities have changed; twenty years ago the basic problems were seen as poverty based, resulting from inadequate health, housing, education and employment. Today the emphasis is more specific: drugs and petrol sniffing, pornography, domestic violence and in particular child abuse. These

these were cooperative. Wherever and whenever projects had been successful, it had been as a result of extensive consultation, bottom-up decision-making and most importantly a long-term, ongoing commitment from all those involved. In other words the shock and awe methods employed by John Howard and Mal Brough in their unilateral Northern Territory intervention were precisely the reverse of what was needed. Sure, the sledgehammer approach had had an impact; it could hardly have failed to do so. But any benefits would endure for only as long as the enforcers were there to ensure compliance. And when they left the likelihood was that not only would the communities return to their former self-destructive ways, but things might even be worse, because the intervention effectively demolished the fragile social structures that had been in place. Genuine rebuilding would be a long, slow process.

This, of course, is of no comfort to those who are the victims of the current dysfunctional setup, nor to activists like Pearson or politicians like Rudd, all of whom want results. To Rudd’s credit, he at least set his government targets to reach in straightforward areas such as increased life expectancy against which its performance can be measured. But if last week’s report is any guide, few of the targets are likely to be attained, and even if they are other problems are simply growing worse in the meantime. Rudd’s approach, like that of most of his predecessors, appears to be simply to try more of the same: an all-out attack from all levels of government. The danger, of course, is that it will just result in more and more bureaucrats tripping over each other as their supposed clients, Aboriginal Australians, look on in helpless bewilderment. Surely it’s time, finally, for something different. Since 1967 the commonwealth has had the power, and many would say the responsibility, to take control of Aboriginal issues. It should now exercise it and streamline the whole system; tell the states to hand over the useful parts of their own bureaucracies and dismantle the rest. Aboriginal representatives should be involved at every level and communities and tribal groupings encouraged to retain their identity and propose local solutions: the one-size-fits-all approach of the intervention is plainly inappropriate to societies as diverse as indigenous Australia. This may sound radical, but really it is no more so than Rudd’s threat-promise to take over the hospital system. Except for one difference: there are lots of votes in cutting down surgery waiting lists. There are no votes in Aboriginals.

Response re ReGenesis response I would like to respond to Elaine Seiler’s comments in last week’s Echo. She said ReGenesis ‘remains fully committed to creating the most ecological and liveable environment possible in the development of Main Arm’. Well, I live in Main Arm, and her words do not reflect the plans in the DA. They show them locating an effluent disposal field within 25 metres of my family’s licensed bore. We use that for our drinking water. Council and State health guidelines for onsite systems say they should be 250 metres from a bore, and ten of the ReGenesis village lots and their commercial centre are in that buffer. And by the way, the entire 8-lot Davis village development is within that buffer as well. ReGenesis’s plans call for eleven houses right in a row on the steep hill behind my house with huge negative noise, privacy, and light impacts. This latest DA has even added a house lot on the boggy and flat area behind my house that is only 25 metres from my property line.

We arrived at Brunswick Heads on June 8. While we were unloading our car at our destination I left the car unattended for approximately five minutes and in that short space of time our car was in need of a total respray thanks to paint stripper thrown over it.

Main Arm Thank you Elaine Seiler for clearing up misconceptions concerning Council’s treatment of your DA for ReGenesis. It does raise some questions. Why did Council ask you to withdraw your old DA, and then submit a new DA when they allowed Davis to submit an amended one, and yet the changes were essentially the same? And why did Council take it upon itself to tell you to take out the only benefits given the community – the tennis court, park and gazebo – without even consulting the community? Your team of ‘highly qualified professionals and engineers’ has done a masterful job trying to hide the major problems with this development – the fact that the land is highly constrained, overly steep, flood-prone, or too near ecologically significant waterways for a 25-lot development â–

only our car was vandalised but three others, also one belonging to an elderly lady who had only days previously attended her brother’s funeral. Her car was also near new with 60,000kms on the speedo. The police who attended this incident were absolutely fantastic and the followup later was very professional. Our insurance was also great – thank you to the RACQ. The sour bit however was the $450 excess which we had to pay, also a hire of a car while our own car was being resprayed which took approximately one week, so our short break cost us dearly. In conclusion we feel

with commercial centre such as you are proposing. For example, they use 20year old guidelines rather than Council’s latest 2004 guidelines for onsite wastewater systems. Perhaps that’s because not one of your proposed lots can actually meet the current guidelines, meant to protect environmental and human health. They state that all of The Pocket Road is 5.5-6 metres wide and considered ‘class A’. That’s ridiculous! It suggests they have never actually been on it themselves. They use readings from the official rain guage for Mullumbimby for all their wastewater and stormwater calculations, ignoring the fact that there are two official and one unofficial rain gauges in the Main Arm area. The rainfalls are much higher in Main Arm, and this means that their calculations are inaccurate and need to be refigured. And just where are those ‘green, eco-friendly proposals’ for the centralised wastewater system, the community green waste composting and recycling centre, the ‘road verges‌ landscaped with edible plants, very disappointed now that our little slice of heaven has gone and it is going to be so hard to find another slice.

Recently I went to visit Gordon Simpson, nearly 92, the oldest finisher of last year’s Mullum to Bruns Run & Walk. Gordon has been thinking of doing the walk again since hearing the Bay FM announcement.

Bangalow bypass Byron Shire Council has significantly modified its previous support for a Bangalow southern bypass. At its meeting this week it resolved that a southern bypass may be warranted but only after RTA has conducted a much more detailed regional study of eastwest transport needs, impacts and alternatives. This is a victory for comwww.echo.net.au

bushfoods and fruit trees’, the sealed access roads to the rural lots to help protect the waterways? They don’t appear to be in your DA, despite what you said in your letter. I also want to point out that your ‘expansion’ is actually not consistent with the 2006 Far North Coast Regional Strategy, as it states: ‘In the future rural residential development will be located close to existing centres, avoiding areas of significant environmental and landscape value, and significant natural resources (including high quality agricultural land.)’ Main Arm is a hamlet, in an ecologically sensitive zone, and must not be the site for a massive development that cannot meet Council and NSW State guidelines. Yours is not a sustainable eco-friendly project, it is just another unwanted development.

mon sense and logic. The core problem is excess traffic and associated noise on Granuaille and Bangalow Roads, and the St Helena Hill. This became lost in the push for the southern bypass solution. It is pleasing that, at last, Council has drawn back from unconditional support. Alternative solutions including a northern bypass route linking the current highway to the Lismore-Bangalow Road now have a chance of being assessed. Council has also resolved to lobby the RTA to reduce the size and weight of freight vehicles continued overleaf

1960s Vespa, especially if it replaces your assumed one tonne carbon cougher. It is your choice, but I really think you would be doing the planet an even bigger favour by owning a delightful Nope electric scooter from Ecomotion in Brisbane or Beyond-oil in Mullum/Byron. Startling as it may be, with my encouragement, my co-conspirators have adopted my near-wholesale retail price too! Nick, I empathise with your dilemma. I too am feeling a little schizoid in this paradoxical cusp of change. But come over and try out my electric scooter, mate: you’ll just love it! I’m also pushing for release of a more powerful model, and have two other exciting developments on the drawing board. With one foot in the past and one in the future I do prefer trying to make a living ameliorating something I have long been passionately concerned about. I would encourage anyone who can find a way to add-on lower carbon business activities, especially if it simultaneously cushions the potentially devastating Tony Hart impact of Peak Oil.

allowed to use MR 65 once the Alstonville by pass is opened. It also wants RTA to introduce traffic calming and reduced speed limits on the current Pacific Highway and Granuaile Road once T2E is opened. This focussed effort to improve safety outcomes and reduce noise and pollution issues in and around Bangalow should be welcomed by pro and anti southern bypass supporters alike. It is wise to await the impact of the half-billion dollar T2E, Ballina Bypass and Altstonville Bypass on regional traffic routing before committing $50 million on a Bangalow bypass with little current economic merit. Bangalow 2020 now encourages all parties to work together to achieve the best solutions to Bangalow’s traffic problems. Bangalow2020 urges Bangalow residents to remain vigilant to ensure no southern bypass is implemented without more detailed study of the region’s traffic needs and the full and open canvassing of alternative solutions.

A vicious welfare system needs reform David Gilet’s letter a few weeks ago about just how the welfare system would be ‘reviewed and reformed’ by Kevin Rudd’s government was spot on. The officious system run by a faceless department through ‘private’ organisations is being expanded so that more of your taxes go to organisations such as Work Directions, Tursa, Mission Australia, etc. The DEWR/Centrelink system is based on the big lie – all Australian workers immediately become cheats and criminals and never wish to work again once they become unemployed, therefore they have to have ‘Work Direction’ and ‘Job Placement’ by force. This is backed up by a financial reporting system that guarantees hundreds of thousands of honest mistakes by casual workers and bureaucrats to provide the statistics

with which the bureaucrats and right-wing politicians mislead Parliament and the people – the real Welfare Fraud is the system itself and the real criminals those who designed it and who feed off it. Work for the Dole cost me more in fares than the miserly $20 per fortnight extra benefit I received and cost you, the taxpayer, at least $8,000 more than if I was just paid benefit and went to the beach. The beneficiaries of my three days a week slave labour and your money wasn’t the ‘community’, it was a group of multimillionaires and business owners. Sixty four thousand disadvantaged Australians were forced into WftD last year and that cost you over half a billion dollars, most of which went to ‘private employment providers’ and overseas manufacturers.

Nobody has ever checked on these ‘programs’, schemes, etc, yet these bureaucrats have dispensed billion$ with their largesse. In all my years I have never been questioned in any form by a federal officer to see if the program or scheme existed in the manner in which it was described on paper, or it it actually existed at all – and I know of no other unemployed person in Australia who has. This ‘private’ welfare system has been running completely unchecked since the days of Keating’s government. We need a full federal police investigation and fully public Royal Commission into the welfare system going back to when Beazley was Minister with special emphasis on the links between these ‘private employment provider’ organisations and former DSS/CES

staff, Labor and Liberal politicians, or the unions. And the connections to the select stores that supply the billion$ worth of goods eaten up by these unnecessary and often frivolous schemes and programs. Krudd is the crust on the top of the cesspool – we need a complete purging of DEWR/ Centrelink bureaucracy and thorough public investigation of the welfare system over the last 20 years. At the next election I will be making sure my vote cannot leak to either major party. Justine Elliot won the last two elections because she had the ‘welfare vote’. If we all withdraw this she loses (and loses the three-term pension rights) and a message is sent to both major parties.

that she can get on with the ‘important’ stuff. I’ve been constrained in my criticisms of Jan’s performance to date because it’s too easy (and too self indulgent) for allies to fall out and become bitter enemies even if their political objectives remain identical. I’ve tried to remember that Jan’s job is by nature a demanding and unpleasant one, that criticism from me in particular would probably hurt her more than from any-

one else, that she actually has a heart of gold – truly. Unfortunately my relative restraint might mean that she is thereby deprived of valuable and timely feedback. My first gripe is that the Public Access section is no longer part of the official Council meeting as such and until recently it wasn’t even recorded. Whose brilliant idea was it to downgrade public input in this way? The second gripe is that one

now has to register one’s desire to address Council or to ask questions on the day before the meeting, specifying the topic. What nonsense; the sole good memory I have of Tom Wilson as mayor is his ritual invitation to the public to address and question councillors on any topic they wished, which he delivered with justified pride; no unnecessary bureaucratic bullshit. My third gripe is that from the tone of the meetings

Jan needs a hearing aid. Jan needs to understand that a lot of people, including myself, are nervous about public speaking and that being told to speak up – ie to start again – is offputting. She also needs to understand that interrupting people to say that they are straying into irrelevant territory is poor form; the person who is making a submission is entitled to arrive at his/her position via whatever route without what

Woolies refusal welcome Last week our Councillors 6-1 refused Woolworths ‘sewer on a bog’. How the NSW Department of Planning approved that ludicrous onsite sewage management proposal really makes me wonder. Together with that refusal, our Councillors resolved to also put to bed concerns that some of the Council’s own reports included material that was ‘ a get out of jail free’ card should Woolworths challenge that refusal in the Land and Environment Court. Good on you, Councillors. At that Council meeting our Director of Planning tabled a letter from Woolworths asking Councillors not to refuse Woolworths application so that they would have more time to discuss possible design changes. Our Director told Councillors that Woolworths’ new wastewater consultant, Daniel Martens, would be re-

sewage plans, locals who have supported our campaign and especially Garry Scott, Duncan Dey and webmaster Robert Hart for their unstinting perseverance. ‘Small business is the backbone of our community,’ said Wayne Swan in his budget speech. May the backbone of Mullumbimby survive and thrive. We’re lucky to have two butchers, two bakers, two stationers, two pubs – we don’t need a Big Box! The Big Box concept is an outmoded oil-guzzler. Oil is used for fertilisers to grow and process their industrialised food, to wrap it in oilbased plastic, transport it and store it in massive refrigerated Garry Scott buildings.

amounts to thought control. The other type of interruption that irks me is when Jan says ‘We’ve already received your written material so there’s no need to repeat it here.’ I’ve no doubt that Jan herself reads everything that’s put before her, but the other Councillors? Even if they do read it, have they necessarily understood it? When I applied to have the rural strategy amended a few months ago I made sure that there was a sequence of briefing material beforehand. It made no difference; the only councillor who likely understood both what I’d put forward and the material put forward by council staff in rebuttal was Cr Tucker. That didn’t prevent any of them voting on the matter which makes Jan’s reassurance that ‘We’ve already received your written material’ ring very hollow indeed. The feedback that Jan needs to hear is that her approach though not intentionally rude makes members of the public feel like nuisances who waste important time. The reason for the time pressure is alarmingly simple: Council is now too formal.

designing the system. Is this appropriate? At that meeting the Woolworths representative personally requested that Woolworths be able to continue negotiations with Council staff. When an applicant like Woolworths engages Council staff during an assessment period, how much time can staff give them and still be fair to ratepayers? Do staff have clear guidelines as to when to close the door on an applicant’s desire to ‘negotiate’? When does a ‘fair thing’ become an unfair amount of ratepayers’ money spent on ‘assisting’ the applicant to get what they want? When does it become collusion?

Now that would show good will to all and sundry, wouldn’t it?

roads through 7(k) habitat for purposes of mass assembly. Remember what Judge Preston said at the end of his ruling in throwing the last DA out of the L and E Court? That if the applicants lodge further DAs in which roads are permissable through 7(k) habitat, ie agricultural purposes, then it will be seen as a means of attempting to bypass the current ruling. Council beware. Back to the L and E Court? The people vs. a Trojan Horse!

Deborah Pearse from Byron Youth Service facilitated the aerosol art to cover the ‘tagging’ on the toilet block and also on the skate bowl.

‘The artists have made the skatepark more aesthetically pleasing, fun, and an interesting venue for artwork.

Reunion highlights the father’s journey Lou Beaumont

The other week the Fatherhood Project hosted a reunion where dads could return with their kids and partners. Thirty fathers celebrated, discussed and connected, talking about their kids and their journey as fathers. Program Director, Scott Longden, told The Echo, ‘Society is starting to reflect an under-fathered generation. All fathers I’ve worked with and spoken to over the past two years show a keen desire to be great fathers, however many are unsure of how to make this a reality, usually based on their experiences with their own dads. ‘The Fatherhood Project focuses on providing information on parenting basics, practice in the skill of baby holding and bathing, nappy changing and discussing how to make these a part of every dad’s busy routine. We discuss who they want to be as fathers and also talk about their experiences from childhood. We provide tools to unlock the great potential all men have to be engaged and highly effective fathers and we value team parenting and discuss strategies to keep the love alive in relationships and how to ensure we actively maintain

Letters continued from page 13

ceived a two-page reply from the Office of the Minister for Defence, outlining our deployment and explaining that ‘Australia’s commitment is focussed on ensuring that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terror and extremism.’ Indeed, our Afghan policy is predicated on the absurd and completely discredited proposition that 19 Arab hijackers were solely responsible for 9/11. In light of the well known fact that US, Saudi and Pakistani intelligence services were instrumental in establishing the ‘safe haven for terror and extremism’ in Afghanistan during

the 80s and 90s, our apparent inability to quell terror and extremism is almost certainly a symptom of malign policy. A policy of dominance and exploitation. The real impact of our mission in Afghanistan is witnessed and widely reported by the media, a constant barrage of mind-numbin g cruelty and devastation. Our presence there is a source of violence, not a solution. In a speech at Cairo University on June 5, President Obama said, ‘The first issue we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.’ A few days later, he authorised a missile strike on

a funeral in Pakistan that killed scores but missed the Taliban chief, according to the New York Times. It seems there is at least one form of violent extremism we don’t intend to confront... our own. John Scrivener

At the beach It is a disgrace what is happening at Belongil. After a natural disaster such as the recent storm that slammed the coast at Belongil and Tyagarah, the two house owners at immediate risk were forbidden, by Byron Shire Council, to protect their

homes. If this event happened in a city it would have been classed as a state of emergency and the state or the federal government would assist. The many tourists who flock to this beach are shocked by what is taking place. Our Green Council has ‘planned retreat’ policy for the whole of the Belongil Spit which states that the Belongil precinct is to be ‘dismantled’. In basic language, this means do nothing to protect public property or beach accesses (where the erosion is taking place) and order demolition of the houses, businesses, roads and services as they come

closer to the escarpment. They also plan to remove the existing retaining rocks and allow further erosion to hasten the demise of Belongil. The dune is well protected by rocks laid down in previous times of erosion which were carefully engineered after the 1974 and 1999 erosion times. These rocks have been proven to work perfectly and shown time and again that the sands build up within weeks. We all love the beach here. It does not disappear if a properly engineered and consistent retaining system is in place. The problem is that the three Council-owned sections

have never been protected or maintained by Council: Manfred Street, Don Street and the Old Jetty carpark are the three main entrances to the beach. This is where the damage always occurs. They are public accesses to the beach. Why let Belongil degrade? Why let the town degrade? Why let the roads and services of the whole Shire degrade? It is a disgrace. The Belongil is a beautiful place and there is no reason to let it degrade and no reason whatsoever to ‘dismantle’ this part of town. See: YouTube ‘Belongil Rocks’. Jan Rae

■ I have been following, with some interest, reporting and letters relating to the sand erosion at Belongil Beach. Unfortunately I don’t know all the facts because I can only rely on what is available in your online edition and am not able to visit Belongil Beach personally. What I am reminded of however, and quite fondly so, is that great gentleman, the late Tom Kendall of New Brighton. Tom spent 40 odd years studying tides and the drift of sand, sand levels and the movement of dunes. Old time residents of New Brighton will no doubt recall how his stubborn and singleminded efforts led to the restoration of the New Brighton dunes and how he thoroughly documented and researched the effect of the Brunswick River groynes on the annual northern drift of sand to New Brighton Beach. A lot of people considered Tom an expert in this field, no doubt some thought of him as a crackpot but I remember vividly him saying that you can never just expect to build a wall and stop the sea but if you study it and see how it works and work with it you can certainly lessen the damage. I always enjoyed Tom’s company and I miss him, he was a great man. As for the affected residents of Belongil I can’t help but feel sorry for them but maybe, the way things are going, spending millions on an absolute beachfront property is not such a wise investment or that burning desire that so many Australians have to live as close to the beach as possible is no longer viable in the longer term.

Exploring issues of identity through Burke and Wills The Landscape of Desire by Kevin Rabalais (Scribe Publications 2008). Susie Warrick

The early explorers are great starter brew for literary fiction with their epic journeys, grinding hardships and preparedness to face the unknown. But taking it further, considering who these unwitting heroes might have been and what random events may have inscribed them onto the pages of our history primers, is the real business of writers. The first explorer book I read was Patrick White’s Voss, back in the 60s, and over the years I have warmed to the task. My most recent armchair foray into the desert, camels and quartpots to hand, has been with Kevin Rabalais and his first novel, The Landscape of Desire. Kevin Rabalais, born in Louisiana and now living in Melbourne, is the latest writer to be captured by the exploits of our early explorers. The Landscape of Desire takes as its central theme the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition, that set out from Adelaide in 1860 and aimed to cross Australia north to south. When the story opens several months have passed since the explorers disappeared into the desert and their whereabouts remain a mystery. A

Buttery Recovery Choir to perform at writersfest The Buttery Recovery Choir, led by charismatic singer and musician Loani Joy, will appear at this year’s Writers Festival on Thursday August 6. This invitation-only day is a special event following on from the rained out day in 2008 and is being held for all eligible ticket hold-

ers. BBWF director Jeni Caffin invited the Choir to perform after a presentation by Jonathon Welch, creator of The Choir of Hard Knocks, who saw his project as a catalyst to creating a space for people who had no way of ‘being’ in this world. The Buttery Recovery Choir is

composed of past residents of The Buttery and is the Northern Rivers very own gathering of individuals carrying a message of hope, in this case, of recovery from addiction. Ms Caffin said, ‘I am glad to present The Buttery Recovery Choir at this year’s Festival as

an expression of community spirit and social activism for Festival goers to embrace. The promotion of The Buttery’s work through the choir’s singing at this year’s Festival will form a reminder of how vital this community service is to our region.’

JULY SPECIAL with any purchase of $50 and presentation of this ad

1. Move More Climb stairs, walk your dog, chase your kids, toss a ball, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think ‘move’ in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class. 2. Cut Fat Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats. Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.

OPEN 7 DAYS - WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY & FRIDAY TIL 8PM

3. Quit Smoking The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Warn your children of the false romance or ‘tough guy’ stance of movie smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

Only a few spots available. Call now.

4. Reduce Stress Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like soak in a hot tub, walk on the beach or in a park. Read a good book, visit a friend, play with your dog, listen to soothing music, watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Avoid difficult people when possible.

You can measure the culture of a place by the arts. Sadly, theatre, once vibrant here in the Byron Shire, has dwindled but that may be a thing of the past, thanks to the creative efforts of Richard Vinycomb, Suzie Mylechrane, Paul Davies and a cast of actors. The local theatre scene has had a shot in the arm this month with a production of Davies’ play, Shifting Sandshoes. In a chat with director Richard Vinycomb he reflected on his lifelong love of

father was in theatre and my great grandmother was a pianist, who toured to Australia in the twenties, so there is a definite family interest!’ To date Richard has used his creative flair to build the impressive curriculum of Byron Adult Community Education as one of the most extensive programs in the country. Theatre training has imbued him with a very special set of directorial skills, the most important being the ability to facilitate effective collaboration. ‘I was a member of the MTC (Melbourne Theatre Company) Youth

theatre. ‘I have been involved in theatre since I was a kid touring around South Australia as a child actor. My theatre group. Aside from having a science background and working in geology I

had a hankering for the arts. I attended the VCA drama school that started in the late 70s and I went there in ‘79. At the time Community Theatre was a big thing, I ended up graduating and getting a job directing a professional company, Crosswinds North East Victoria. We wrote our own shows and toured prisons, schools etc. We did cabaret at night, we had musicians and visiting writers.’ So why present theatre now? ‘I have been here 12 years. I want to do two things: support the local venues and support local writers. New content and new venues are really important. I did Strange Fruit with Byron Theatre at the Community Centre and I was in Rob Owens’ production of Carmen. I have been trying to keep up acting and directing and then when Civic Centre was being built – and Mullum is my hometown – the hall committee asked me to do the opening so I directed that and this year I wanted to put on a play. ‘Paul Davies is the writer – I knew him at the VCA. He comes from a background of writing scripts for TV: Matlock, Division 4 etc. He got excited by theatre and wrote this play in 1988, commissioned by Theatre Victoria.’ Paul showed Richard ‘On Shifting Sandshoes’. At the time it was raining, and this play that is over two decades old seemed very timely.

‘It holds up really well. It is a modern historical play and is set in ‘88 on Stradbroke. The music is 80s, the actors feel is 80s – it’s also the end of the Bjelke Petersen era. It’s quite political – the play is about the tension between friends, so when the relationships are under stress the deeper issues come out. The three women in the play went to teachers college together, two of the men did architecture together, so they have a real bond. The play is based on a real story.’ On Shifting Sandshoes follows a group of friends as they try and survive a few days trapped on a camping trip due to cyclonic conditions. ‘This is the pre-mobile phone era. Being cut off was a bit more serious! It puts the relationships under stress, and the play turns from light comedy to dark comedy. When you are camping your existence is more fragile – the weather is like another character.’ Richard is excited about the whole look of the production. ‘We have a fantastic set designer: Suvira. The feel is suggestive, not naturalistic, people’s best and worst camping experiences will come out. The audience is within the drama rather than just spectators.’ When it came to casting the show, Richard was amazed by the range of talent he had to choose from.

‘There wouldn’t be many country areas in Australia where you’d have such strong acting talents.’ As a director, I ask Vinycomb to explain his style. ‘I love the tradition of Brook, but can’t afford the hothouse of having everything else going away! I love exploring the subtext and the layers in the relationships, bringing out different colours and flavours in the action and making it funny and relevant to now so people reflect on their own lives and relationships. My style of directing is about timing and pace, and letting the actors improvise and make offers to each other, bringing out the best in their creativity. I think I challenge the actors quite a bit – when there is electricity I want to heighten that moment of tension. I am trying to create something that is provoking as well as being funny.

FLOYD AND THE CHILDBRIDES BEACH HOTEL SUNDAY

Mandy Nolan

GOOD CUP BAD CUP I have a thing about cups. I can’t just have a cup of tea out of any cup. It has to be a ‘good’ cup. Of my 15 or so cups, I only have four that I will drink out of. Of course I keep the other nine cups in case I get visitors. And if I don’t like you, I’ll serve you tea in a bad cup. That way you won’t stay too long. So what is a bad cup? A bad cup is not a good cup gone bad. A bad cup is not stealing money out of your wallet or hocking your jewellery to score. A bad cup is any cup supplied by a workplace in the morning tea room. A bad cup is the one you get at Easter with a chockie egg in it. Bad cups are everywhere. They’re those large clunky mugs – giant thick cups with chunky handles and garish patterns. They usually have a few chips around the rim harbouring the odd spot of hep, and the insides are stained brown, like they’ve had a Pablo enema. But it’s not just the texture and the weight of the cup. It’s the aesthetic nightmare they present. They will often have tacky Christmas designs featuring teddy bears in stripey undies or feature stupid jokes or say your name, or that you’re the greatest Dad. A beverage just can’t be enjoyed in a bad cup. I feel for homeless people. Not just because they’re homeless, but that they are often forced to drink out of bad cups. Good cups have special powers. They have a magical ability of transforming an ordinary

cup of tea into something wonderful. Old women know the secret of the good cup. They have been the keepers of tea cups for generations. Tea, one must admit, tastes so much better out of a proper cup, so much tastier than the bucket sized mugs we’ve progressed to. Only problem is, our hands seemed to have evolved and fingers are so much larger. It’s often almost impossible to grip the handle of a traditional teacup. I keep shelves full of Nanna cups. But I don’t use them. I mean who uses a saucer? Saucers are from an era when women didn’t work. We were so bored we went out of our way to make extra washing up. Physical labour was the only way to stave off madness. Bring out the teapot with a few cups and saucers and the eyebrows go up as if to say ‘who’s had her prozac today?’ Let me describe the good cup. It is smaller than a mug, but bigger than a regular teacup. The good cup is china. The good cup is not chipped. The handle is fine but big enough for large fingers. The pattern is simple, uncomplicated or nonexistent. The good cup never overfloweth. When Jesus offered his blood to his disciples at the last supper I can assure you he used a good cup. He didn’t use a mug from K-mart.

Good news is that singing dingo Dave Scott survived the incident and is appearing at the Rails with his new band – Banjo – on Thursday night. Get along and hear some swampy tunes from Dave’s new album.

Cooking at the Beach Catch the Chris Cook Band at the Beach Hotel on Thursday.

Major Krazy (aka Krazy Dayv) is well known for his mixing genius behind the decks. Whiplash brings the hip hop flavour, showcasing songs from his EP Rapanese. Kazman has been involved in a variety of acts in Brisbane – most recently and most notably Dubmarine who have been supporting King Tide on a leg of their national tour. Elephant Wise brings some tunes off his album The Reasoning – out late July through Dasvibes. Raz Bin Sam is best known locally for his work with The Lion I Band. Raz has just returned from NZ with selector Wade, completing a very successful tour behind his new album Own This Life and is already scheduling a return there in August. Buddha Bar on Saturday.

It’s the story of a girl who pricks her finger, falls asleep for 100 years (obviously not a candidate for Stilnox) then is awakened by a kiss by her Prince Charming. He must do a bit of backyard blitzing before he can get to her, and cut back some vines. Armed with a ride-on mower and a brushcutter, this is the story of girl meets landscape gardener. This is a family show and features a bunch of performers that all met along the way doing my ACE standup comedy course. So this show is bound to be entertaining and very funny. At the A&I Hall Bangalow during the school holidays.

A Complete Pitch If you can’t tell your story in a sentence then you probably don’t have one. You may have the best film script on the planet but unless you have the ability to pitch it, and excite a bit of interest, chances are, it will float by unnoticed.

ADFAS Byron Bay & District will be holding their meeting on Monday at the A&I Hall in Bangalow at 7.30 pm. The lecture ‘London’s Changing Skyline: Past Present & Future’ will be presented by Anthea Streeter. Anthea studied Fine and Decorative Arts in London and continued her studies at Harvard. London is one of the greatest historic cities of the modern world and its skyline has been changing ever since the Romans arrived in 60AD. The lecture looks at changes to the famous City of London skyline viewed from across the Thames. Guests are welcome to attend at a cost of $20, which includes supper.

Garrett opens exhibition by local artist An exhibition of marine paintings by local conservationist Dailan Pugh will be opened at the Lismore Regional Gallery at 1.30pm on Wednesday July 8 by the Federal Minister for Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett. The exhibition represents three years of work based on hundreds of hours of snorkelling around Australia. Pugh says: ‘While I find the Great Barrier reef truly awesome, I have been equally inspired by our local waters, particularly the Bream Hole at Lennox Head. Though being surrounded by frolicking seals off Tasmania is an experience hard to beat.’ The paintings are depicted from the point of view of a snorkeler and take the viewer to a world,

just underneath the water. Pugh hopes to inspire others to become involved in conservation and ‘touch the heart of the viewer’. ‘Our marine environment has seriously suffered from overfishing and pollution, though these impacts are being overwhelmed by the consequences of the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‌ We are creating an extinction event to rival the end of the dinosaurs and, for our oceans, it will only take a decade or so to be irredeemable. The need for understanding, empathy and action has never been greater.’

Raise Your Voice World-renowned voice teacher Rowena Balos will conduct a masterclass at Byron Community Centre on Saturday from 10am – 4pm.

Television Guide 1. Julie Andrews reincarnates in The Princess Diaries (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm) and does it all again the following night in The Princess Diaries 2 at 6.30pm. The Julester is seen here with Anne Hathaway, the princess in question. 2. Daniel Radcliffe associates with some really big monuments in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm). The series is getting another airing as the final book reaches the big screen. 3. The Smith Family Will and Jaden dominate The Pursuit of Happyness (Prime, Sunday, 8.30pm), a much overrated pastime and a dreadfully whimsical spelling. Following the schmaltz, Dirty Harry makes some punk’s day.

INTERVIEW ‌ ANDREW KIDMAN parts of the film and Brown Wishin & a Hopin‌ About five years ago musician, surfer and film maker Andrew Kidman was touring as a musician presenting his film Glass Love. He was touring at the time with Aaron Curnow the Director of Bunk Records. ‘He was helping me tour the film, and at the time he said have a think about making a film with some of the musicians on the label. I thought it was an interesting idea. A couple of years ago he bought the idea back and suggested we get a group of film makers to make their own clips. Aaron sent off about 300 songs that he liked and I sent that to the film makers and they picked the songs they wanted with their footage.’ Andrew Kidman has bought together 16 short films by different film makers with one mandate: the film must be themed around the ocean. ‘It is essentially 16 short films. It’s more about the ocean, there is some surfing. They are all surfing film makers but they all do any style, some of them didn’t want to make a surf film, so Glass Hope is a real mixture of straight film clips of sea and other ones are full stories about places and characters‌’ Andrew gave the film makers creative freedom with only one constraint: the film had to run the length of the song. ‘ I made four films myself, and I found it so liberating, and everyone else felt like that too.’ Kidman has been presenting the film with his band, The Brown Birds From Windy Hill. This is not a straight screening, Kidman is presenting Last Hope to audiences in a unique one off format with a live band. ‘The night is a completely different to the film. I have re-edited and the artists from Machine Translations are coming up to play to their

Birds from Windy HIll will play the rest. I dropped the sound out so we can play to all the other films.’ DVDs of the film with the original soundtrack will be available at the gig. The soundtrack will also be available. ‘I don’t really see the film as something that you just sit down and watch for an hour and a half, it’s more something you just sit down and watch a few of at a time, like a book that you can put down and come back to.’ Playing music to footage is a dynamic, almost avant garde way of involving the audience in the action of the film. It’s something Kidman stumbled on over a decade ago. ‘I started 15 years ago doing stuff like this. We would film and go home and cut it up and project it at the pub and play live. It happened by accident, we happened to be going to play that night we were screening and we played along. I noticed everyone in the room started watching. It takes it to another dimension for the crowd. It is almost like making the performance three dimensional.’ As a musician Kidman loves the challenge of playing to images. ‘Live music is always interesting, you hit peaks – you really watch what’s going on on the screen and you tend to interact – you can inflect or you can speed it up, or a drummer can inflect when he sees something happen, it’s great to be a part of.’ Andrew Kidman presents his film Last Hope with a special performance by The Brown Birds From Windy Hill at the Mullumbimby RSL on Sunday.

ARTEXPRESS ARTEXPRESS,at the Tweed River Art Gallery, is an exhibition with a difference. How many exhibitions draw on an initial imput from 9,266 artists? And how many exhibitions show the work of 16 and 17 year olds? Produced by the NSW Education Department and Board of Studies, ARTEXPRESS represents the best work by students for the 2008 Higher School Certificate. Over almost a year, ARTEXPRESS will tour to 11 different galleries. From the 310 works selected for touring, each exhibition is specifically designed for its venue. At the Tweed, for example, the focus is on portraiture; at Grafton, work that reflects the environment; at Port Macquarie, abstraction. Each piece, explained the exhibition’s coordinator, Susanne Jones, is the culmination of over 50 hours of student work, completed under the supervision of an art teacher. Students draw on a huge array of media – from traditional drawing and painting, through sculpture, textiles, photography, video and film. The three major criteria by which exemplary works are judged are technical competence, a strong conceptual idea and a degree of resolution. Are there marked differences in themes or ideas from one year’s students to the next? According to Jones, yes. While the 2008 students still engaged with notions of identity and purpose – why am I here? where am I going? – she found them less angst ridden than in the past. ‘There’s an element of aliveness and positivity. Much less despair.’

Perhaps the greatest joy of ARTEXPRESS is its optimism: a new generation of artists are on their way. Not all of them will choose art as a career. But they will all be the richer for this experience.

Quilt – Moo Moo Stitches

Alpha Crucis Ensemble Concert Director of the Byron Bay Music Society, Diti Dickson speaks with passion about presenting young audiences with the best possible music. ‘If we don’t, all this beautiful music will disappear.’ She’s particularly excited by next weekend’s concert of the Alpha Crucis Ensemble. Named after the brightest star of the Southern Cross Bruce Pringle Hammer and Hand Gallery constellation, the chamber group has seven members, all of them graduates of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Their program will sweep from the eighteenth through to the twentieth century and will include works by Mozart, Bellini, Berlioz, Percy Grainger and Malcolm Arnold.

What better name than Hammer and Hand for the gallery that blacksmith Bruce Pringle opened, more than a decade ago, in Hobart’s Salamanca Place? Now Pringle has a second Hammer and Hand in the Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate. In the gallery beside his workshop, he shows his own work and that of nine other artists, all under the banner of a ‘metal and jewellery collective.’ Each artist operates as an individual business. Pringle supplies the gallery and workshop space, everyone helps pay the rent. It’s a treasure trove of work – forged iron, intricate jewellery, amazing utensils. Hammer and Hand is one of fifteen galleries on Byron Bay Artists’ Trail. See it as part of the next trail event on Saturday July 11 from 3pm to 8pm: a wealth of art, live music and a warming drop of chai or gluhwein and, at Hammer and Hand, a tea party.

WITH LILITH

ARIES: This week’s focus on home and relatives could produce domestic revolution via family wrangles. Being tetchy and defensive will work against you so do your best to keep the peace, and when sharing feelings say things in the way you’d want them said to you.

CANCER: Mercury joining the Sun in Cancer makes your conversation warm and heartfelt, but this is also a week of confidence, optimism and courageous moves with strong, practical Saturn helping you see clearly and act decisively in everyone’s best interests.

LIBRA: Venus in the flirty sign of smart repartee helps you deal with this week’s difficult people so don’t let them drain you, rain on your parade or take advantage of your good nature. Despite visitors and disruptions, you can still get a tremendous amount accomplished.

TAURUS: Family gatherings and home improvements are this week’s menu specials, with Tuesday’s full moon stimulating income boosting ideas. With your ruling planet in the house of fun lightening up this week’s denser aspects, less seriousness and more enjoyment is absolutely the way to go.

LEO: Tuesday’s full moon in the sign of big business has lots of woo-woo intuitive flashes happening, with yours right on the money if you tune into your inner guidance and make decisions from the highest level – you already know in heart exactly what that is.

SCORPIO: Right now you’re extremely psychic and strong bonds can be forged – though a deep and possibly confronting psychic detox may be needed first. Others are extremely receptive, so if you can relax and surrender this could be an extremely juicy week.

GEMINI: This week’s about guess what for Geminis? Money. Financial promise, economic opportunity, professional potential and lots of it. With the planet of glamour and attraction giving you a charisma enhancement you’re sure to get noticed on the job – not to mention all about town.

VIRGO: Friendships may be put to the test this week. Loyalty will be valued so nurture high anxiety friends, but spend quality time with your more supportive connections. If cherished routines are disrupted, see it as an opportunity to implement newer, more appropriate ones.

SAGITTARIUS: Tuesday’s full moon could be particularly profitable if you consider all proposals on offer and plan carefully. This week requires expressing yourself with caring understanding and sensitivity to defuse friction, rather than using words that actually produce the opposite effect.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

New IM, 15-year-old James Morris

The Oceania Zonal tournament, which concluded last week in Tweed Heads, provides plenty of food for thought about the future of Australian chess. It is now a decade since Australia broke away from the rest of Asia and became the dominant nation in Oceania. At the same time, the tournament to which the Oceania representative qualified changed from a traditional Interzonal to a knockout tournament – originally the World Championship and later the World Cup.

CAPRICORN: This week’s Capricorn full moon, intensified by the first of July’s two lunar eclipses, is your year’s best. Use its boost to clarify goals and promote any current business plans – real estate deals, partnership negotiations and upwardly mobile socializing all get the cosmic green light.

DISGRACE (M) PREVIEW SCREENING WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5 Writers Festival feature event with pre-film drinks from 6pm. General Byron release date to be confirmed, some time in August. Based on JM Coetzee’s Booker Prize winning novel, starring John Malkovich as David Lurie, a womanizing 50-something Cape Town professor whose reckless affair with a student leads to his dismissal. He subsequently decides to visit his daughter Lucy at the remote farm she shares with a trusted black worker. When they’re savagely attacked by three black youths, Lurie is forced to confront the realities of life in postApartheid South Africa.

his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone -- from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang -- later including Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis – thrilled many, J. Edgar Hoover made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One and sent in Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) , the dashing ‘Clark Gable of the FBI.’ However, Dillinger

and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic betrayals -- from the infamous ‘Lady in Red to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti – were Purvis, the FBI and their new crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger. ~ courtesy of Dendy Byron Bay.

The fact that they reduce crow’s-feet has briefly distracted me from the culinary point of egg whites. But it’s true apparently: much much cheaper than a facelift, it might be worth trying! Meanwhile, of course, the culinary point is that, with all the egg whites you have in your forward-thinking or parsimonious way frozen into ice cube trays over the months, there is a host of gorgeous things to create. Egg white is nearly 90% water, the clear and viscous liquid called albumen or glair. Its primary purpose is to protect the egg yolk; it is rich in proteins (containing approximately 40 different ones) and is of high nutritional value. With a negligible amount of fat and no dietary cholesterol it is beloved of body builders and dieters. Historically it was used as a varnish for oils and watercolour paintings, becoming waterproof upon drying. But it is in cooking that the magic and the alchemy of egg whites most excite me. The physical stress of beating them creates a foam – whisk dragging liquid through itself to create a force which unfolds the protein molecules (denaturation); air mixed in which causes the proteins to come out of their natural state. Air meeting water and multiple bonds created transformed into a foam which – oh the poetry of it ! – holds the incorporated air in place. I remember the fear I felt the first time I was asked to tip upside down a bowl of stiffly whisked egg whites. And yet they obeyed me, remaining resolutely in the peaked snowy mass into which I had beaten them. Into submission, as it were. Meringues are the immediate prospect for whisked whites. My mother’s meringues shattered against the bite, exposing a sticky, slightly chewy soft ex p heart. h a t I remember how she would leave tthe he ttrays y in the oven on the lowest possible p ss b setting for so long we almost them – and then there they fforgot orrgot about a

would be, a blush of gold on their smooth cloud-shaped sides. What my friend Mandy does with meringues is to crumble them into sweetened cream then lace layers with berries for pretty parfaits, the definitive instant pudding. Egg whites for my mother these days tend to be turned into Plums Under Snow, or Apricots Under Snow : the pureed fruit folded into the stiffly beaten whites then chilled. The lightness of souffles comes from the beaten whites: a dreamy suspension of albumen with air. For macaroons the whites are ideally whisked with sugar in a double-boiler until thick and pale and ready to be turned through shredded coconut, plain flour and vanilla. But back to meringues. Meringues lead to the vastly overrated pavlova; to the drama of Bombe Alaskas; to Floating Islands or Snow Eggs ( where moulded meringues are poached in a gentle liquid or fruit puree); to meringue baskets, nests, swans and stacks. They lead as well to the following glorious winter’s dessert when citrus shines:

LEMON MERINGUE PIE Line a tart dish with your best shortcrust pastry and bake-blind. Set aside to cool while you make the lemon curd filling. In a saucepan whisk together 30 gr. cornflour, 30 gr. plain flour, 1 cup caster sugar, ž cup lemon juice, 3 tspns lemon rind and 375 ml. water. Keep whisking over medium heat till mixture boils and thickens. Reduce heat, cook for another minute then whisk in 40 gr. butter and 6 egg yolks, one at a time. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and cool completely. Heat oven to 220ËšC. Beat the 6 egg whites, gradually adding 1½ cups caster sugar until thick and glossy. Pour filling into shell, spread meringue to cover, forming peaks. Bake 5 – 10 mins or until lightly browned. Now, as for those crow’s feet‌

Dragon Boats help cancer survivors Dragon boat racing is an aquatic sport in which a 12 metre long canoe-like boat, wide enough to sit 20 people, (2 abreast), along with a sweep to steer the boat and a drummer, is paddled over a course usually between 250m-500m. During races a dragon boat will feature the head and the tail of a dragon, a mythical creature regarded by the Chinese as having dominion over the waters. Recently five local breast cancer survivors competed in a 21km Dragon Boat marathon from Chinderah to Murwillumbah. For the paddlers, the experience was both exhilarating and uplifting and inspirational for their friends, families, supporters and other women living with breast cancer. The women said they also felt a sense of accomplishment and achievement after completing the course. The women are part of Dragons Abreast Australia, (DAA), which is a National Organisation comprised of breast cancer survivors of various ages from a variety of backgrounds, athletic abilities and interests. ‘Participation and inclusiveness are founding principles of DAA,’ says paddles Robyn. ‘The competitive outcome is secondary – we are winners simply by being here and being able to paddle.’ Dragons Abreast members provide a face for breast cancer statistics, while spreading the message of breast cancer aware-

Big weekend for the lil’ Giants The junior Giants had a big weekend. The Silver Thread U10s had another great effort this week against South Tweed. The boys were not successful but all played their hearts out, which is great to see. The boys are also very excited to be playing again on Sunday at Tugun in the final of the DB cup, a great achievement by the team just to make it. The parents and coaching staff are very proud of them. McDonalds Meats 12s had an impressive win this weekend. Rory and Callum had a great game with both going under the posts to score. Jake

played hard as well, pushing through the opposition’s defence lines as did Tom O’Shea, also an excellent game was played by Jack Chaplin. The final score: 22-14. Ocean Shores Bakery 11s went down 30-6. The boys played hard but were beaten by a much better team. Tylor again had a great game as well as Nat Russell. The New Brighton Store 16s went down in a hard fought game against Cudgen. The boys played well but lost 18-8, with tries by Josh T and Matt M, some injuries during the game may have cost them this win.

Get dressed up for the Mullum to Bruns ness through participation in the wonderful and strenuous sport of Dragon Boating. Once breast surgery is over and radiation and or chemotherapy has finished, suddenly breast cancer survivors are on their own, facing the sometimes daunting task of reconstructing their lives. ‘It is a jolting change of pace for many, switching from a whirlwind of medically driven activity to suddenly being in charge of rebuilding their

health, their fitness and their lives,’ says Robyn. ‘Being able to do all these things in the company of others who have travelled the same path helps to restore the confidence, the spark, and the sense of adventure needed to permit a full and active life despite the breast cancer. That’s a great time to investigate Dragons Abreast Australia. We are more about inclusiveness than competition; we only do as much or as little as we feel up to – even in a race.’

If you are living with breast cancer, there is a silver lining. You can join the fun and paddle with the group. Most teams have regular introductory sessions so you can come and try and see if dragon boating is for you. The Dragons do compete in dragon boat regattas but the race is against breast cancer. To find out your nearest group phone 1300 889 566 or e-mail: contact@dragonsabreast.com.au or visit www. dragonsabreast.com.au.

The Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk has added several new award categories to this year’s event which will be run on Sunday August 16. The new awards categories are: the youngest and the oldest people to complete the course, the largest team to finish and the best fancy dressed competitor and the winner in each division will receive a trophy. Organisers will present trophies for last year’s youngest and oldest finishers – Alice Cupitt from Murwillumbah who was only 12 days old and Gordon Simpson from Brunswick Heads who aged

GC United A-League to play in Byron

Crankin’ what’s happening surfside

Gold Coast United have confirmed a training match against a Byron Bay Select XI on Sunday July 12. The A-League newcomers will hold a coaching clinic and sign autographs for local youngsters before taking on a composite team from the local area. Gold Coast Head Coach, Miron Bleiberg, said the match was an opportunity for talented local players to display their skills in front of the watching United coaching staff. ‘If we had played in Northern NSW against another ALeague club then it would just have been another game,’ said Mr Bleiberg. ‘By playing a “select” team from the area, we can take a look at any talent on display and keep an eye on their progress if they impress us. There will be far more interaction this way and of course we are always keen to unearth a diamond if we can. ‘We will arrive in the morning and conduct a coaching clinic with some young players and basically spend the whole day there; we are really looking forward to it.’ Planning and organisation is in full swing for this fantastic event. It’s a dream come true

All Girls Surfriders

for the local soccer club and local fans. With around 7,000 registered players on the FNC, organisers are expecting hundreds if not thousands of spectators from all over the region at the Byron Bay Recreational groundsto catch their first glimpse of the million dollar players in action. Gold Coast United owner – Billionaire Clive Palmer and his managers – have assembled a team of superstar players such as Socceroos Jason Culina and Adam Griffiths, New Zealand international Shane Smeltz, 3 Brazilians and a host of other incredible internationals and players from all over Australia. They hope to hit the ground running in their bid to make the semifinals or better in their first competition year in the Australian, Hyundai A-League competition. The players have just completed a successful Asian tour of New Caledonia, Singapore and Hong Kong to prepare. Hundreds of local football fans will travel to Skilled Park on the Gold Coast on Wednesday night to be the first locals to see the A-League team when they take on English Premier League team Fulham, some say in preparation for their clash

with Far North Coast Premier League side Byron Bay Rams on Sunday. ‘This region of Northern NSW is very much in our catchment area for supporters and future players,’ said Mr Bleiberg. Organisers say it will be a huge day at the Bay with over 250 specially invited local junior players attending coaching clinics with Gold Coast coaching staff in the morning from 10-45am. There will be junior representative exhibition games and photo opportunities where fans can meet the players and get them to sign autographs from 1.00 pm. Fans will also be able to purchase Gold Coast United Merchandise. The Players will warm up for the historic game at 2.45 pm, with the main event game Byron Rams coach Peter Ware said this is a fantastic opportunity for hundreds of junior players and fans alike to get to see players of this calibre locally. ‘We are all pretty excited at the club,’ said Mr Ware. ‘For the young it will be a dream come true. They must be counting down the hours till the game. It really will be a day for fans to remember.’

Max McRae is Cadet of the Year Max McRae is a lifesaver for the Brunswick SLSC and has recently been awarded two major honours for his work. Max joined the Brunswick SLSC in 2001 and the last patrol season was his first as a senior. During the summer months, Max contributed almost 152 volunteer patrol hours, which is a record for the Bruns club, an almost unbelievable total. During his watch, Max performed rescues, managed the beach and was intrsumental on occasion, in anticipating dangerous situations and alerting his patrol captain to the emerging problem. As well as patrol hours, Max freely gave his time to Nippers events – he provided water safety at several carnivals and mentoring to the younger members at their regular Sunday training. At only 14 years of age, Max has shown a maturity and dedication beyond expectations and for this he was recently awarded Cadet of the Year from the club. Max was again awarded another major honour when he was given the Cadet Lifesaver of the Year for the region at the Surf Life Saving Far North Coast Awards of Excellence ceremony held recently in Yamba. Max wasn’t the only local winner at the awards night. www.echo.net.au

Local lifesavers brought home a swag of awards from the event. Byron Bay SLSC took out the coveted Newcastle Permanent Surf Life Saving Far North Coast Club of the Year. The club was awarded the prize based on their initiatives and dedication within all areas of Surf Lifesaving.

‘The ceremony concluded an extremely successful season for the Far North Coast Branch,’ said Branch President John Beasley. ‘The Annual Awards of Excellence give us an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding efforts of members throughout the past season.’ Lennox Head’s Tanyn Lyn-

don and Byron Bay’s Shannon Hulbert-Green were acknowledged for excellence in Surf Sports in receiving the NRMA Male and Female Athlete of the Year awards. Lyndon, who claimed the prize for the third consecutive season, was a standout contender for the award after his third straight Australian Iron Man title.

With the best 200 age surfers congregating at two contest locations, Werri Beach and Bombo, to make up for lost time yesterday, five champions were decided and precious places at the Country Energy Australian Surf Festival on the line. While their competitive still burns as strong as ever, what transpired was some highquality surfing. Local stalwart and Illawarra surfing luminary Terry Rich-

ADFAS Meeting ADFAS Byron Bay and District will be holding their meeting on Monday July 13 at the A and I Hall in Bangalow at 7.30 pm. The lecture ‘London’s Changing Skyline: Past Present and Future’ will be presented by Anthea Streeter. The lecture looks at changes to the famous City of London skyline viewed from across the Thames. It begins before the Romans, with oak woodland and mud flats, then moves to the Roman and Saxon settlements within the city walls beside the river, through the 18th century and into the Victorian period. Finally it considers the result of wartime damage and the lifting of height restrictions in 1956. The lecture then addresses the issues for the 21st century: heritage, sustainability and how to mix high and low rise, old and new to make London’s skyline even more exciting, diverse and stunningly beautiful than it already is. Guests are welcome to attend at a cost of $20, which includes supper.

Plans for protecting Belongil are circulating en masse in the community. One of the interesting artificial reef design firms can be seen at www.asrltd.co.nz. Those waiting on the public exhibition of the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan will have to wait a little longer as Councillors voted 6-1 (Cr Woods opposed) to flick it on first to the Coastal and Estuary Project Reference Group and then for a revised draft to come back to Council’s August meeting. â– â– â– â–

We’re all for protecting the rights of cyclists, especially as our editor gets around on an electric bicycle now and then, but Tuesday night last week a cyclist on Ewingsdale Road stretched tolerance to the limit. He was dressed in dark clothes and had no lights on his bike, so motorists were forced to brake suddenly when they spotted him at the last moment. We suggest that if you have a death wish you don’t involve the motoring public in your trauma – otherwise give them a sporting chance of seeing you. â– â– â– â–

The advised that the capital cost of pubs and clubs have lifted their game, the garden setting of the Poinciana is as welcoming as ever, and now there’s also La Table. Backlash was impressed by the contemporary French dishes served there, and rates them as good as any he’s tasted in big cities. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide must have been impressed too, as La Table is going into the next edition. Maybe television’s MasterChef Australia has produced a demand for fine cuisine in country towns? â– â– â– â–

Fluoridation of the water supply is still floating about as an option, and Byron councillors resolved last week to invite the NSW Health Department to make a presentation on the issue and to also invite the North Coast Flouride Action Group to make a presentation at a different time.
