Interstate drug bust nets local Nomads A series of police raids in Queensland and NSW early on Wednesday morning last week targeted members of the Nomads biker club, alleged to be part of a sophisticated drug trafficking syndicate. Police allege members of the club’s Byron Bay chapter, as well as members and associates of the Gold Coast and Ipswich chapters, were part of the syndicate. As part of an organised crime operation, the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC), in partnership with the Queensland Police Service, the New South Wales Police Force Gangs Squad and the Australian Crime Commission simultaneously executed search warrants on about 50 premises in Tweed Heads, Byron Bay, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich and Redcliffe. These raids involved more than 200 police drawn from the CMC, State Crime Operations Command, Task Force Hydra, Qld and NSW regional police. So far 17 people have been arrested with offences alleged to involve the large scale production and distribution of dangerous drugs specifically amphetamines. Others are

being questioned by police and further arrests are expected. Those arrested have been charged with a range of offences including drug trafficking, drug supply, produce dangerous drugs, possess dangerous drug, possess drug utensils, possess concealable firearms and tainted property. The raids signal the completion of two closely linked investigations, codenamed Operations Navan and Danson. CMC Operation Navan began in September 2005, in partnership with the QPS and the ACC, on the basis of intelligence about organised crime drug trafficking gathered and analysed by the CMC. The CMC’s Director of Crime Operations, Acting Detective Chief Superintendent Paul Doyle, said 18 months of hard work has led to the closure of two significant criminal networks. ‘As a result, we have disrupted the flow of dangerous drugs between Queensland and New South Wales. This shows that state borders do not impede crime agencies in combating organised crime,’ Acting Detective Chief Superintendent Doyle said.

Byron Bay businessman and Byron United president Ed Ahern and business partners Sean Crilley and Nathan Valentine of the Green Garage and Byron Bay Handimarket have given $5,000 seed funding to Rainforest Rescue to go toward ‘greening’ Main Beach, Byron Bay. Rainforest Rescue is working with local environment group the Green Clean & Awareness Team (GCAT) to address dune degradation at Main Beach through a tree planting project. Rainforest Rescue sees the project as a positive step toward expanding habitat for local wildlife and enhancing the community’s enjoy-

ment of the beach. The tree planting project will not only help to strengthen dunes in times of storms and from other damage, it will also in time, create shade along the beach. Rainforest Rescue is hoping to raise $10,000 from local businesses for the project. GCAT is keen to begin the planting and will be working with a bush regeneration professional from Environmental Training & Employment (EnviTE). GCAT’s Teresa Heal said, ‘It is wonderful that local businesses like the Green Garage are coming forward and supporting this project. We still are a fair way off from the total funds needed to complete the

project and we hope other businesses will also come forward to help.’ Rick Christian from local business Byronbay.com has also supported the project with $1,000. Alice Moffett from Rainforest Rescue said, ‘I am really excited about the project and pleased to be facilitating a means where local businesses can create local environmental outcomes – a big thankyou to those who have already shown their support.’ Any local businesses who would like to be a part of the Main Beach planting are encouraged to contact Alice at Rainforest Rescue on 6684 4360.

Grill the candidates over climate change at Byron Bay The North Coast Climate Action Group (NCCAG) has organised a ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum for March 10 in the Byron Bay High School auditorium from 2pm to 4pm. Entry is by gold coin donation. Each of the major candidates – Greens John Bailey, ALP Melanie Doriean and Nationals Don Page Stephen Wedd places the last flower in his family’s formidable display of dahlias – will have 15 to 20 minutes to at Saturday’s Coorabell Flower Show. Photo Jeff ‘Petal’ Dawson outline their plan for action to deal

with climate change. This will be followed by an hour for the audience to put questions, ideas and comments to the candidates. ‘State government can and must do much if we are to save our skins, let alone our lifestyles, as the planet heats up,’ says NCCAG. NCCAG can be contacted on 6684 2272 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For those who may not be able

to make the Byron event but want to find out more, Gayle Russell from NCCAG is offering a course through ACE, ‘Eco-living & Climate Change: making a difference’ over two Saturdays, March 10 and 17, 10am-4pm. Phone ACE on 6684 3374 to book. For a roundup of the Hypothetical on climate change scenarios held recently at Bangalow, see page 17.

Byron Bay residents are being asked to participate in one of the nation’s biggest fundraising events, the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave to be held on March 15 -17. Bay FM 99.9 will be hosting a public shave event on Saturday March 17 at the Bay FM 99.9 Studios on Fletcher Street, Byron Bay, between 10am and 2pm. The community radio station is hoping to raise $999 and Bay FM DJs have put up their hands to be waxed, shaved or coloured for the cause. Other local identities participating include Byron Tic, resident Artist from the Buddha Bar and Arts Factory, Rich Latimer from Work Directions and Adrian Falconer from the SAE College – just a few of the participants. Local businesses can help by supporting employees and donating goods and services for the shaving, waxing and colouring. As the event is on St Patrick’s Day it will also be a great opportunity to spray your hair green. Donations can be made at the Bay FM studios between 9am and 5pm weekdays. To register go to www.worldsgreatestshave.com.

Devoted service to God honoured

Denzel Thomas, centre, and Marion Gallagher received certificates of appreciation for their devoted service to God and the Anglican community at a lunch held in their honour at All Souls Church Hall on Sunday. They were acknowledged for 112 combined years of playing the church organ – Denzel has been playing for 60 years (since he was 17) at All Souls in Bangalow, and Marion has been playing for 52 years at Eureka. Eighty parishioners turned out to honour them and Ballina MP Don Page, left, was on hand to award the certificates. Photo Lou Beaumont

Road and pipeline work under way Work has commenced on two important projects for the Mullumbimby community, the drought management pipeline and the Mullumbimby Road upgrade. Byron Shire Council General Manager Pamela Westing said the two projects are linked and will be delivered together to minimise traffic disruption along Mullumbimby Road and achieve savings in project management and shared resources. The road upgrade project is being designed and constructed by Byron Shire Council staff and funding is via a $650,000 Black Spot Grant through the RTA’s Road Safety Program. The bulk of the project will stretch for approximately 1km from Kings Creek

Bridge to James Street. The project involves road widening, bank stabilisation, hazard and tree removal, realigning fencing, compensatory tree planting, stormwater pipe replacement and improvement to the shape of the road. The completed road will include an 800mm painted median to accommodate 2 flows of traffic, plus the provision of 2m wide shoulders on the outside of the road for safe passage for cyclists. The Mullumbimby Drought Management Pipeline has been designed to provide an emergency connection to the Rous Water (Rocky Creek Dam) water supply for periods of prolonged drought as occurred in 2002. Part of the funding for the pipeline has been received

under the State Government Drought Relief for Country Towns program. The project includes laying 3km of 250mm diameter pipe along Mullumbimby Road from Uncle Tom’s to James Street. The first stages of the construction have begun with a new set of pipes being installed under the roadway near King’s Creek Bridge. The next stage of the project will involve the removal of trees and relocation of fencing along the south side of Mullumbimby Road in late February. Several large gums and a number of smaller trees including Camphor Laurel are being removed, with the material recycled where possible as mulch or timber sections for the construction of animal hides.

Cancer patients urged to speak up Cancer patients on the far north coast are being encouraged to speak up and demand their concerns are addressed, with The Cancer Council NSW offering free advocacy training to give rural and regional cancer patients a voice. ‘We want to hear from people in the area who have an interest in lobbying for improved cancer services in their region,’ said Diana Fisher, Regional Programs Coordinator. ‘We will then train them to write to their MP, approach the media and develop advocacy plans – all the skills they need to make sure their voices are heard on the issues they think are a priority.’ The Cancer Council NSW, in collaboration with Cancer Voices NSW, will be

holding consumer advocacy training sessions on March 16 and 17 in Tamworth and will cover the costs of travel and accommodation for selected participants from the region. ‘The Cancer Council recognises that cancer patients, their carers, as well as interested community members have a valuable role to play in campaigning to reduce cancer risks and improve services – from lobbying to restrict smoking in public places, to educating people in sun protection and other ways of being cancer smart,’ said Ms Fisher. Vivienne Gregg, from Armidale, has become a vocal campaigner for improved cancer services in regional NSW after attend-

ing the training course in 2004. ‘I signed up to the program because I had something to say but didn’t know how to make sure the relevant people heard me,’ she said. ‘Now I’ve got the practical skills and the confidence to make sure my message is heard loud and clear. My experience over the last few years has proved that a group of individuals working together can make a positive difference. ‘Working as a volunteer advocate, with the support of an organisation like The Cancer Council NSW, has taught me the procedures to ensure best possible outcomes for both local and state wide campaigns.’ The training is over a twoday period and participants

take home a toolkit containing the resources they need to take action and engage others within their local community. ‘If you or someone you know is interested in cancer control and wants to understand how to influence the government, the health system, clinicians, research institutions and cancer organisations, get in touch with the Cancer Council on 6681 1933 as soon as possible,’ said Ms Fisher. The program is conducted by The Cancer Council NSW and is in collaboration with Cancer Voices NSW, a coalition of cancer groups that provides a unified voice for all people in NSW affected by cancer.

International Women’s Day is a wake-up call Denise Greenaway Women, like bees, are natural networkers, constantly gathering nectar, building hives and carrying messages. The more they do it together, the greater the buzz. For eons, women’s hives of beauty and love and their messages of healing have brought peace to a troubled world. In ancient times, long before the Patriarchs, the Romans and the Greeks, women guarded the Earth. Wide hipped and free breasted, their moon cycles defined the seasons: they rested in the shadow moon, planted in the new. Their moon blood nourished the earth and they were revered as the life givers they are. Sadly even before the

Patriarchs could pick up a pen, a dark shadow was to fall across the feminine landscape. Mother goddesses soon toppled and women’s wild ways were condemned as cults. By the time Moses came down from the mountain and melted the holy cow, Genesis had damned Eve and her progeny to thousands of years of female guilt and misogyny. Modern women are still serving that sentence today! The recent death of a healthy 26-year-old Victorian woman following liposuction of her thighs and buttocks attests to the extent of female self-loathing on our home ground. Afflicted women are getting younger and younger. One only has to look into the

Meanwhile the body snatched, the walking dead, parade across our screens, Hollywood heroes, Sleeping Beauties. Clearly it’s time for women to release the curse and wake up from the Beauty Sleep imposed upon them. It’s time for them to stop blaming themselves for being women, trying to explain themselves, manufacturing themselves, starving themselves, chopping themselves up, cloning themselves and worst of all passing on their shame to the generations to come.

Resource service hosts IWD event The Women’s Resource Service is again hosting an International Women’s Day event this year on Thursday March 8 for women of the Byron Shire. Kassa Bird of the Women’s Resource Service said, ‘‘For two years now, we have hosted a three hour extravaganza of women musicians, story-tellers, dance troupes and comedians, and last year we fed and entertained about 300 women and children. It was a great show of women’s community, alive and well!’ This year’s event begins at

11am in the Old Civic Centre Park in Mullumbimby, and will again feature musicians, dancers and story-tellers. Marlena and Zenith have generously committed to compere the day, as they have for the past two years. Kassa said, ‘In 2006, we organized a mini-debate for the middle of the day, and six women argued the topic, “If women ruled the world, it would be a better place!� The speakers were provocative, witty, grumpy and outrageous, so we had more than a few laughs. It was a high-

light of the day really, so we have organised another debate on the topic, “If women ruled the world, we wouldn’t want equal rights�. Various community organisations will be there with information about their services for women around the shire. Organisers would like to hear from other women interested in setting up stalls and women willing to perform on the day. In addition, there will be activities for children provided by Ballina Byron Family Centre and activities for

women including origami and fabric painting. Some generous souls are providing free five minute consultations such as Tarot readings, naturopathy and mini-massages. This is a free event for women and children, and the Women’s Resource Service extends a big welcome to all women in the shire to participate in maintaining a sense of women’s community. Further information is available from Kassa Bird at the Women’s Resource Service on 6684 4299.

A local woman has expressed her concern that nothing will be done following her discovery of a decapitated dog at New Brighton. She told The Echo that the police had passed her on to Council rangers and the rangers said it was not a Council responsibility as the animal was in a waterway. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she found the dog while walking with a friend on Fri-

read a passage from it. If they are too shy to do that, they can ask someone to do it for them. Organisers say it will present an opportunity for people to hear about other books and authors they may like to read and for other people to share the books that have inspired them, given them pleasure or have just simply been a good read. Members will be given the opportunity to lend and borrow if they so wish. There is no membership fee. For more information phone 6684 1189.

ACE horticulture course A major course about to start at ACE is the Certificate Ii In Horticulture, and a few places are still available for this rarely offered nationally accredited part-time certificate course. It will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to be employed within the horticulture and nursery industry. The course is about to finalise enrol-

ments. It is very practical, and is part time over about six months. Units include plant identification, propagation, soils, landscaping, pests & weeds, conservation, pruning and irrigation. Fees are exempt for those eligible for skills vouchers or indigenous students. Be quick to enrol: call ACE on 6684 3374.

While unable to identify the breed, she said the dog was black and of medium size. The woman is now attempting to pursue the matter with the Environment Protection Authority. Anyone with information about a dog being abused (or decapitated) should ring local police.

Wild trek for the Orangutans on offer WIRES is proud to launch its Orangutan Borneo Charity Challenge. This exciting trekking challenge to Borneo will raise much needed funds to help WIRES with its work and also to help the orangutans in Borneo. ‘I have a deep respect for wild animals both here in Australia and across the world. Due to acts of inhumanity and adverse weather conditions our world’s animals are facing tough challenges and we need to do something about it,’ said WIRES spokesperson Simon Harris. ‘The charity challenge concept is a new way for WIRES to raise vitally needed funds to support the work the charity is doing with native animals in Australia. At the same time, the trek itself will prove immeasurably informative to the participants, giving them rare insight into the world of orang-utans.’ Participants get an opportunity to trek some of the toughest and most spectacular of the rainforests of Borneo; through diverse ecosystems into one of the few remaining and threatened wild orang-utan territories in

To join the trek the wouldbe trekkers have to pay a registration fee, which will secure their place on the trip – group size is limited to an intimate few, so it is important to get in early. Next, trekkers are required to undertake the challenge of raising a minimum amount of money. The funds raised serve two purposes – some will cover the cost of the trip while the remainder will go to WIRES to continue its vital community service.

The Wynne for Aseem

Palatial anniversary for Huxleys

Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Well known and well loved Byron personalities, Graeme (Hucks) and Helen Huxley got to spend their 4th wedding anniversary in royal luxury at the Palace on Magnolia at Ewingsdale last Friday evening. The happy couple won their ‘little extravagance’ at the Byron Youth Service’s Melbourne Cup Party at the Backroom in November.

When you look from the window of a plane you can see the patchwork of fields.’ It appears it is these patchworks that are represented in his landscape pieces. Aseem sets about his labour intensive creative process after first seeing a vision of the work to come. Often this vision arises during meditation or from simply walking around in nature. Aseem says, ‘Metaphor and alchemy are the wings of my art. The rubbish, which our society produces, is offered back much the same way lotus blossoms out of detritus. It connects with where we came from, but most importantly, it reveals what we can become.’ And an alchemist he is. A

It’s a case of third time lucky for local Brazilian born artist Aseem Pereira. After two previous submissions to the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ prestigious landscape exhibition, the Wynne Prize, Aseem’s work has been selected to hang in this year’s exhibition, showing March 3 to May 13. Aseem instinctively felt this year was to be different to previous years. He said, ‘I could actually see it being hung this year. I felt really positive about submitting it somehow.’ The selected work, a 1.6m x 1.6m abstract landscape of intricate aluminium can and copper weave, is part of his ‘Panorama Surface’ series. Made up of at least a few hundred cans tirelessly picked up from the ground, pulled out of bins and donated by friends, the piece took about a month to complete. Aseem arrived in Australia in 1989. He spent 12 years in Sydney and graduated from The Sydney College of the Arts with a Visual Arts degree and first class honours. It was then he made his move to Byron, a place he feels is conducive to ‘keeping it real’ and somewhere that inspires him to keep creating beauty. Aseem is best known for his glassworks, specifically intricately woven glass beads. His works have appeared in exhibitions from Wagga Wagga to Chicago, his works hang in private collections around the world and his corporate commissions adorn international hotels. He began experimenting with aluminium weave about five years ago. This diversion appears to have paid dividends as Aseem is thrilled to have been selected for the 2007 Wynne. Looking at the ‘Panorama Surface’ series, as entirely abstract landscapes, it is not immediately obvious from where this artist’s inspiration arises. Aseem explains, ‘We

Veep’s visit a blast from the past Vol 21 #37

February 27, 2007

Love is the drug The sad death of 20 year old Sydney woman Annabel Catt, allegedly from taking the rare amphetamine paramethoxyamphetamine, or PMA, which was included in a pill marketed as Ecstasy, is a wakeup call to all users of illegal manufactured drugs. As Drug Squad Commander Greig Newbery said, ‘You are gambling with your life, and the lives of others, if you take these substances or provide them for use.’ If you find yourself suffering bad effects from taking a pill, seek medical help immediately. This latest death is a severe caution for party goers – do not buy drugs from strangers. Even if you are buying a pill from a friend, be sure of its history. Better still, just concentrate on dancing instead. The Catt incident follows on from a survey which showed the younger generation is well weaned off the Baby Boomer notion – in some circles, at least – that marijuana is the panacea for what ails you. A survey of 1500 adults by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre found that although almost half of those aged under 30 had friends who used cannabis, one-third said their peer group found its use unacceptable. Fulltime stonerism is regarded as a rather uninteresting lifestyle, which it is. Thank whatever deity you prefer, minor or major, for that realisation – we want a new generation ready to scrap the assumptions of the Baby Boomers and the cynicism of Gen X, a new generation ready to face the challenges of climate change, a new generation ready to take over the political reins from generations which which have largely failed youth and the wellbeing of the planet. Otherwise, we’re all stuffed. That said, The Echo would still prefer that marijuana not be demonised and its use decriminalised and based on sound education to its dangers and delights both. From prehistory revelations have come from drugs, with recreation the modern afterthought of societies with more time on their hands. Our major legal drugs of choice, alcohol and tobacco, by far and away still cause the most harm. Can we move towards a culture which honours individual creativity above mass entertainment, earned understanding above the quick hit? That culture would find that love is the drug – love of planet, love of family, love of peace, love of each other, love of one’s self. Its expression would not come through ‘getting out of it’ or in the worship of ‘celebrities’. It might come through land repair or community service, or art for art’s sake, or dancing – trancing on the dance floor, a soft shoe shuffle in the supermarket, a slow waltz in the kitchen, a sudden Sufi whirl in the council chambers. And if music be the food of love, as Will Shakespeare suggested, then gosh, play on.

F

or most Australians the visit of American VicePresident Dick Cheney was something of a non event. The Sydney demonstrators, their ranks thinner but their faces still furious, did their predictable thing before being predictably defeated by superior police numbers; the remainder of gridlocked Sydney, faced with yet more unnecessary traffic jams, just wished he’d go away. Kevin Rudd was no doubt grateful to have it confirmed that withdrawing some of Australia’s token presence in Iraq would not affect the American alliance, to which John Howard replied that Cheney was just being diplomatic about interfering in local politics, a courtesy of which he himself could never be accused following his absurd attack on the American Democrats and their possible presidential candidate Barack Obama. Unsurprisingly in the circumstances, Howard did not go out of his way to thrust his association with the most notorious surviving architect of the Iraq fiasco before a queasy public, and seemed mildly embarrassed by the whole thing; three months ago, when it was planned, the visit must have seemed like a pretty good photo op, but in the week when Tony Blair announced the British pullout that Howard refuses to call a pullout, Cheney was about as welcome as Asian bird flu. Perhaps sensing this Cheney did not open himself up to the media – except to give a platitudinous interview to the Australian’s foreign editor and Washington’s agent of influence, Greg Sheridan. Inexplicably, Sheridan omitted to ask Cheney how much

he personally had profited from the war, so this was a non-event too. But for some of us older folk the fleeting but wellmanaged appearance by an American Vice-President brought waves of nostalgia. Just 47 years ago a troubled Prime Minister embroiled in a losing American war had tried exactly the same stunt, and look what happened to him. In 1970 John Gorton, if not actually on the political skids, was moving rapidly in that direction. The year before he had lost 17 seats to

Kevin Rudd was no doubt grateful to have it confirmed that withdrawing some of Australia’s token presence in Iraq would not affect the American alliance‌ by Mungo MacCallum Labor’s whiz-kid Gough Whitlam, and the polls were suggesting that he could not survive another go round. His deputy and longtime rival, Billy McMahon, was openly manoeuvring to unseat him. And the war in Vietnam, which had sustained the conservatives so well since Australia committed its first troops in 1965, was finally going sour in the public mind. In the past a visit from the American president had always gone down a treat, but unfortunately Richard Nixon was not available at the time. However his slightly shopsoiled Veep, Spiro Agnew, was looking for an excuse to get out of America for a break from the investigators, so with some misgivings Gorton laid out the red carpet. Like Cheney, Agnew was

enormous boost and huge numbers of waverers would be drawn to its side. Sound familiar? But wait, there’s more. When I heard Cheney warning of an Islamic Caliphate stretching from Spain, through northern Africa to the Middle East and thence through south east Asia to Indonesia – and it wouldn’t stop there – it took me back to the domino theory, all the rage among those who described themselves as right wing intellectuals in the Vietnam years. If Vietnam were to fall, they intoned, the neighbouring nations would collapse to the Asian (by which they seemed to mean Chinese) communists like a row of dominos; Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia – and it wouldn’t stop there‌ Talk about dÊjà vu all over again.

To those who see the defeat of American forces in Iraq as being as inevitable as it was in Vietnam, history offers considerable comfort; Agnew’s predictions were way off beam, and there is no reason to believe that Cheney’s will be any more accurate. Both proceed from a profound and unshakeable ignorance of the history, culture and even geography of the regions involved, which is, of course, the reason we got into the mess in the first place. The kind of eleventh hour bluff and bluster in which the supporters of the military adventures (and in both cases the Vice-Presidents were even less prone to self-doubt than their bosses) indulge in a desperate effort to persuade their remaining allies to stick with them as they go down in a screaming heap should be discounted as self-interested hysteria, and generally has been by all except Howard. Interestingly, Agnew used his visit to ask Gorton for more Australian troops and was turned down flat. Howard, on the other hand, came good with an extra commitment of trainers before Cheney even arrived, such is his devotion to the patently lost cause. Spiro Agnew’s visit had a sequel. Shortly after he returned to the United States he was charged with corruption and forced to resign. It is worth noting that Halliburton, the company which Cheney used to head and with which he still has close and rewarding associations, is currently under investigation. And Gorton did not survive to face another election; McMahon knocked him off a few months later and was then himself defeated by Labor’s whiz kid. Dare we hope that history will go on repeating itself?

not too keen on the media, although after considerable pressure from the Canberra press gallery (pressure apparently absent from Cheney’s visit last week) he did manage to sandwich a restricted press conference between a set of tennis and a cocktail party. But again like Cheney, Agnew was hugely gung ho about the war, painting an apocalyptic picture of the final showdown between good and evil. Defeat for America in Vietnam, he thundered, would be a humiliation from which the west would never recover. Communism would receive an

Restoration was carried out on February 18 and although a thorough job was not carried out it is quite adequate. Thank you also to Council for their quick response to our request.

Duty of care Dear Councillors, It has come to our attention that Council has a statutory duty of care to its residents and so can not legally, knowingly put said residents in harm’s way. We are most interested in this because New Brighton floods (as you may be aware). And the flood levels at NB continue to rise due to a number of council development decisions such as the Billinudgel Industrial Estate, the South Golden Beach levee, Fern Beach, the service station on the corner of Shara Boulevarde and others. Now there is discussion on changing the Kallaroo Cir-

Yelgun splendour ■ I read with bemused interest Councillor Tom Tabart’s letter in reply to Tina Petroff’s letter regarding the Splendour in the Grass DA for Yelgun. Councillor Tabart, who is also the Greens candidate for Tweed in the upcoming state elections, has gone on public record stating he sees no problem in altering the LEP and rezoning the land concerning this contentious proposal. This same councillor who vigorously opposed Lot 107 Shara Boulevarde site for sportsfields on environmental grounds now seems to have no problem in allowing developers to construct a permanent festival/events site on over 275 hectares right in the middle of the most environmentally sensitive and indigenously significant area in Byron Shire. I know for a fact that Jessica Ducrou, one of the principals of this DA, had discussions with Jan Barham, our mayor, prior to her group purchasing the land once owned by Chum Vidgen. So far only Councillor Lazarus has the strength of his conviction to openly oppose this proposal. Any councillor who opposed the Lot 107 site on environmental grounds but supports this proposal would be guilty of the most cynical hypocrisy imaginable. True environmentalists and the caring community of the north of this shire are totally opposed to this DA. I will wait with interest to see just how the self-style ‘progressive greens’ vote on this when it comes before Council. Julie Coady

Yelgun

■ Re letters from Michele Grant and Cr Tom Tabart responding to Tina Petroff’s letter. Unfortunately neither letter addresses the many detailed points Tina raises concerning the proposed concert venue at Yelgun Flats. Residents are concerned about lack of comcontinued overleaf munity consultation, lack of

infrastructure, and lack of flood planning. We are in the dark about all this. Sounds familiar? Attacking Tina’s integrity is irrelevant. I know she is a supporter of the environment, we do land care on Devines Hill together; she does heaps and knows heaps. Just like many others. I also know she is no fan of the green political party. That’s a different thing. I have a question to you, Michele, and anyone who supports the sale of Lot 107 Shara Boulevarde. The central argument of the green party is that Lot 107 is needed for wildlife corridor. So, tell us, what animals cannot use the existing 500 metres of wildlife corridors to the east and west of Lot 107? Without an answer, the whole political ‘reason’ disappears. I’ve asked Cr Tom Tabart, he doesn’t know. Other councillors don’t know either, I’ve asked them, yet they have sold Lot 107 for this ‘reason’. A person from Parks and Wildlife thought about this question on site and answered... ‘migrating birds’. Hmm. Please answer in next week’s Echo. Regarding an alternative site for sports fields, most people know that there is no real alternative to that last 18 acres of high, dry land sold for a mere $250,000 (and not even in the Nature Reserve, never mind ‘in the middle’). Previously Parks and Wildlife turned down an option to buy from Chum Vidgen due to lack of value to them. There’s only flood plains at Billinudgel and Yelgun Flats. What’s your alternative, Michele? And speaking as a friend who works with you, Michele, I’m sorry your cynicism is ‘abject’. I still think you’re great. Cr Tom’s letter only contained rude opinions. Better luck next time! David Hall

cuit Bund. All models suggest that this will increase flood levels in NB. No matter that this is disguised by talk of ‘minimising flood levels’, there will still be an increase for us. As early as 1990 the then Dept of Planning wrote to the Marshalls Creek Floodplain Management Committee to warn against incremental increases in flood levels due to development. Yet it still goes on. New Brighton is continually sacrificed or ignored for the sake of development elsewhere. Enough is enough. To compensate us for our inconvenience and to allow us to prepare for the future, the New Brighton Village Association requests a rate reduction of 25% for all of NB, or at least all properties affected by flooding. This will help pay our insurance premiums and cleanup costs. We look forward to your early reply. New Brighton Village Association Committee

Public access

at 9am and the formal meeting at 10.30. It seems to me that the start time is too early and the time allocated for access unnecessarily long but my main concern is that public access is no longer recorded; that is, it is no longer part of the meeting. The concept of community consultation, once so much valued by both Councillors and those who elected them, has obviously been watered down. The noninclusion of minutes from committee meetings in Council business papers means Councillors can’t move committee recommendations unless a report has been prepared beforehand as a separate item, and now we have no record of public comments, questions and submissions made verbally at meetings. From my observations, Councillors could achieve their aim of shortening meetings by exercising more control over their own verbal input. There may be a case for limiting public access but to remove it from the record altogether implies that people’s submissions are not considered important and, as I see it, is very disrespectful of the public. I hope Councillors will have a rethink.

As a still fairly regular Council watcher (one Councillor suggested I should ‘get a life’) I am dismayed by the new arrangements for public access. I am told that a Jenny Coman change was necessar y Bangalow because the sessions were dragging on and Council Unfair dismissal? meetings becoming far too It recently came to my attenlong. tion that a local and promiNow public access begins nent real estate agency last

month fired one of their employees for purchasing a property through another local real estate agency. Having only minor dealings with real estate agents in the past I found this issue interesting and inquired if this was local practice among real estate agencies, that is to fire employees who do not use or buy through the real estate agency that they are employed at. The general consensus was that it was the individual’s/

employee’s right to choose where, when and with whom they chose to purchase property. I find it disgraceful and downright unAustralian that the principal of this agency, especially one who promotes themself as upstanding and a professional in the local community, be allowed to treat employees in such a way. Is this unfair dismissal? This individual is now unemployed because they made the ultimate to decision to buy a home, to give

themself security and to get ahead in life, an opportunity we would all like to have. This employer has indeed proved the ruthlessness of the real estate industry. Whether it is company policy, company loyalty or a bruised ego for not getting the sale (more than likely the latter), an employer should not have the right to govern their employee’s life decisions and indeed an employee should not be given the pressure to choose between their

job or buying a home. That said I would definitely not be using this agency in any future real estate dealings. G Catalan

More action needed on green power issues ■ It is good to see that Byron Council is considering switching to ‘Greenpower’. I do worry about ‘Greenpower’, one option involves a number of sources including ‘biomass’, which I am afraid will often come from felling and burning forests. The best ‘renewables’ option is solar power theoretically generated on the roofs of the Victoria Markets in the heart of Melbourne. In reality all the power you actually use comes from a dirty coal powered station and only notionally from a clean source. Once upon a time Mullumbimby and Byron Bay were powered by hydroelectric power generated by Council at Lavertys Gap. Water is still extracted from there to supply Mullum, so it would make sense to once again harvest power from this water on its way down the hill. Council offices also have a large roof area which could be used to generate solar power. Rather than paying an annual premium to theoretically obtain solar power from Melbourne, Council could put that money into gradually building up its own array

of solar panels to feed into the local grid. It would be good to see Council take some leadership on this issue, and maybe once again provide clean ‘green’ energy to its ratepayers. Dailan Pugh

Byron Bay ■ Macquarie Dictionary gives practical meaning to the attention getting F-word, ‘to make a mess of, ruin or break’. Why use softer words when only the F-word describes our situation. Our state politicians are still F-ing our planet by their collusion to focus on water (desearately needed long ago) just before the state election, collusion to avoid focus on Climate Change exacerbating the El Nino cause, collusion to hide applications to double the output of coal from NSW mines. It’s a coal-ition of the major parties to look after their coal industry supporters and to avoid the deeper issues at cause. Sure we’re blessed to live in part of the 7% of NSW that is drought free and with our dam 77% full. If it wasn’t an election year wouldn’t most of us go back to sleep

until someone else sorted out our list of F-ups? And what are you doing about it? Business as usual including complaints about pollies? Have you switched to Green Power: clean electricity from renewables starting price $1/week/home, similar unit rates for business? Have you taken offsets for your car and flights? Don’t wait for mainstream pollies, or you’ll just burn more coal, and now you know what that does to our planet. Commit to voting Green, Bob Brown’s mob actually love our planet, its animals, birds, trees, even our people! Our John Bailey is honest, capable and willing to be accountable.

Letters Council this land is at the moment zoned residential. The company in charge of this survey distributed to a few households in Suffolk is Urban Economics based in Brisbane. Their portfolio includes Brisbane Airport Corporation and numerous major property developers in Queensland (the projects developed by their clients are to be seen to be believed). Their main description of their business is ‘a professional staff dedicated to adding value to market and economic advice in the retail, residential, office space, industrial and tourism sectors’. The fact that so many households haven’t received the feasibility survey is a bit worrying. When I mentioned in an email to Kerrianne Bonwick at Urban Economics that many friends of mine (in Beachwood at Firewheel Place for example) didn’t

receive this survey her answer demonstrated her professionalism: ‘I have had a chat to the researchers and they particularly remember the Firewheel place and the bank of letterboxes in this place in particular – 30 or so – and assured me that they had deposited a survey in each. I have every confidence in my researchers and their thoroughness. Trust that the survey was obvious enough among all the junk mail that we all tend to receive!.’ If you haven’t received a survey I suggest you contact her at the following address– kbonwick@urbaneconomics. com.au, fax 07 3229 0945. What is also of concern is that this survey was not addressed to rate payers but to the ‘household’; with a transient population and many holiday rentals at the time of the supposed delivery of this survey, this community at large is not having a

say from the start. Also my understanding is that laws regulating development on the coast of NSW will be passed in September of this year. I don’t know the extent of the regulations to be put in place: maybe someone could enlighten us about the possibility of a residential and floodprone zone being invaded. I trust and hope that both residential and commercial communities will react sooner than later to this prospect. Isabelle Delmotte

Wooyung plans

Tourist Resort and declared it ‘an appalling development’ JMS appears to be a little bushwacked. Investors are clearly still staying away in their droves and it’s not hard to see why. Cameron Davis and Jason Paris, directors of JMS Capital, have failed to come up with any plans acceptable either to the local community or to the Minister for Planning. When are they going to realise that this is a sensitive site which cannot be handled with the slapdash development approach which for years has characterised coastal development? Here’s a tip for the duo – step up with an environmentally sound proposal. This fight is not going away.

End the slaughter On March 17, 2003, United States, United Kingdom and Australia illegally invaded Iraq. In contravention of a clear majority view of Australians, John Howard and his Liberal conservatives rode on the coat-tails of George Bush’s ultra conservative Republicans, whose supposed aim was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A thorough search found nothing. President Bush’s real aim was to control the oil supplies of that country and stop them placing most of their currency in euros rather than

American dollars, with other Middle Eastern countries about to follow suit. This was because the US dollar, the present world reserve currency, is fast losing value on the basis of that country’s huge and increasing foreign debt. Putting aside the obvious need for the US to rid itself of atomic weapons along with the former USSR as per agreements they had previously signed, American use of depleted uranium, widespread destruction of buildings, positive institutions and massive human casualties they’ve caused since the invasion have only worsened Iraq’s problems. Three thousand American troops have died, but as independent observers, using well tried methods proven about 95% accurate elsewhere have revealed, an enormous figure of 655,000 Iraqi men, women continued on page 14

Articles Brian Mollet reviews the history of a Mullumbimby icon and its owners

The chips are down for Popular cafĂŠ culture Australia’s biggest little town grew perceptively smaller with the closure of the Popular CafĂŠ in downtown Mullumbimby. Since May 8, 1909, a cafĂŠ has occupied the prominent corner in the heart of town and in its various incarnations the ‘Pop’ has etched itself indelibly into the culture and street life of generations of locals. Ninety-eight years ago the opening of The White Australia CafĂŠ was heralded by blank half-page ads in the local media, which carried in small print at the bottom ‘like the above, it is all white’, presumably a reference to the cleanliness of the premises. By 1915 it was acquired by prominent north coast Greek family the Feroses, and boasted a marble bar and a state of the art soda fountain. As the fortunes of Mullumbimby rose and fell the cafĂŠ had a number of re-workings and incarnations, until in the 1940s Theo Psaltis, a brotherin-law of the Feroses, began working on the family banana plantation at Main Arm. A typical working week would be rounded off by a couple of

Theo and Pat Psaltis at work in earlier days.

days in the cafĂŠ. Ten years of slogging the bananas paid off for Theo when he became the proprietor in 1950. Theo met and wooed wife Pat at the cafĂŠ and the pair became part of the fabric of street life in Mullumbimby for the next 40 years. Bill Crompton, a lifetime resident, recalls the early days of the Popular: ‘As kids we would sneak in to the cafĂŠ on weekends and pinch bottles until we had enough change to go to the Empire Cinema. Theo used to turn a blind eye to us because he

knew we were broke and had nothing else to do.’ Theo also gained a reputation as a fortune teller when he made some startlingly accurate predictions based on the patterns of customers’ coffee grounds. Soon many customers would wait patiently for the prognostications of Theo, master of the psychic arts. He worked at the cafÊ until his death in 1990, aged 68, when his son John took over the business. Pat was the driving force behind the front of shop and

her small frame belied the 50-60 hour weeks she devoted to the business. Boundless in her energy, she also found time to support many worthwhile causes around the town, especially Coolamon Villa. Daughter Tina relates a story of when the ‘Ballina Boys’ besieged the shop after a controversial footy game, and a near riot was averted due to Pat’s little known prowess as a brown belt in karate. Throughout the cultural changes of the 60s and 70s the Psaltis family’s egalitarianism and social conscience made the place a reference point for the colourful, the alternative, and sometimes the weirder side of the Mullum experience. ‘Theo had a soft heart and couldn’t say no to people. He was also very tolerant of those who were different to him,’ says Tina. In the heyday of the Popular it was said that you couldn’t swing a cat without hitting five artists and the next messiah, (usually ‘Spinner Geoff’, may he rest in peace). The old jukebox once

was claimed to be a beacon for passing aliens. Hippies have swum through swollen causeways with nothing but the thought of a large vegetarian meal on their mind, and to many, life without tofu chips will seem a bleak and meaningless existence.

Dolphins welcome Simeon to Tasmania Tessa Hoffman Local environmental activist Simeon Michaels was welcomed to Tasmanian shores last Wednesday by a pod of dolphins which surfed with him as he paddled in to land at Tomahawk over a week ahead of schedule. His official landing was held on Friday at Bridgeport and further events are planned for the rest of his stay in Tasmania. Simeon left Sydney for Tasmania on January 2 to kayak the 2000km to Hobart to raise awareness and funds for a campaign to stop a proposed northern Tasmanian pulp mill that would pollute the Bass Strait with poisoness dioxins and consume five million tonnes of Tasmanian forest each year if it was to go ahead. It’s been non- stop adventure with plenty of hair raising moments for the local kayaker who The Echo last spoke to from Merimbula, NSW last month. There was the car crash that left him without his sole land support crewperson Emi Iizuka for a week and half, the storm he got caught in on the East Gippsland Coast, a close encounter with a large shark and the ‘armageddon’ wave experience that nearly smashed his kayak in half at Bemm River, Victoria.

Many north coast residents have sponsored him so far at $50 per kilometre, and he urges everyone from his ‘home town’ to pitch in with either a financial donation or by signing his online petition. To make donations and to sign the petition or to read about Simeon’s trip via his blogs, visit his website at www.paddlewithsim.com.

From the classic mix of architecture to the wraparound mural, the ‘Pop’ captured the essence of the small Aussie town burger joint. Perhaps its passing is a sign that we are losing the widely cherished mantle of ‘small town’.

Not to mention the news of missing New Zealand kayaker Andrew McAuley who disappeared on February 9 while attempting to become the first person to kayak across the Tasman. Despite all this, Simeon said he never thought about quitting because he was paddling for such an important cause. ‘It’s been a really interesting mix of overcoming fear and actually enjoying it. The moments that are tough and scary are good too because

they force you to push through your fear. ‘It’s the thought that I am doing it for others, for the environment that keeps me going.’ Simeon said locals have shown their support the whole way down the coast and that media interest has continued throughout his trip, strengthening since he started the Bass Strait stretch. He has now raised over $20,000 towards his $100,000 target.

The election bug is abroad in the land ■ With a state election approaching, we should review the achievements of our Labor government, as they affect us up here in the north east corner. For a start, they closed down our railway. They know there will be big increases in the regional population, they know that Queensland Rail plans to extend the Brisbane-Gold Coast Line to the state border, they know that climate change is influencing decisions about public transport and rail freight in all the thinking areas of the universe – but not, it seems, in our corner. Instead, we get a six-lane motorway, which can only generate much more car and truck travel, multiply greenhouse gas emissions, and destroy irreplaceable droughtfree farmland. (A triple bottom line?) Significantly, the rail closure and the motorway proposal were decisively rejected by the community. When over 18,000 people signed requests for an upgrade of the existing dangerous highway they were

ignored, despite the RTA’s pious assurances that current black spots need ‘urgent’ attention, and that road safety improvement of the Pacific Highway is a ‘high priority’. Naturally, they have refused to give serious attention to an alternative western route to get growing volumes of freight and through traffic out of this sensitive area. Instead, they have unleashed B-Double trucks, again against our wishes, onto the highway, although they tell us over 50 percent of the local section does not even comply with minimum design standards. Now, they have produced a regional development plan without any transport component. Hard to understand? It certainly is. The Planning Minister, using the Power of One, which he has awarded himself, has overridden our elected Council and the tens of thousands of us who appointed it. Democracy it seems, is outmoded. Now, we are to have developments in the shire which the Council does not want, and which the residents do not want.

Meanwhile, developers make secret political donations. Why? Don’t ask. Caravan parks have been taken from Council control, The Beach Café is commandeered by the state government, closed and derelict, we know not why. Having seen what has happened here, and what is now happening in Sydney, we should perhaps prepare ourselves for new maxi-resorts at Clarkes Beach and Brunswick Heads, and the rubber stamp approval of a First Sun Casino-entertainment complex at Main Beach. Don’t expect to be consulted. Have our candidates anything to say about these insults? Will Don Page and the Liberals promise to respect our wishes and reverse all, or even some of these abuses? The bland comments from Don in last week’s Echo offer little encouragement. Will Morris Iemma and Labor promise to mend their ways and show us some respect? Don’t hold your breath. Depending on what these people say, or more probably don’t say about these issues,

we should at least be able to decide who not to vote for in March. As for whom we should support, our Greens candidate, judging from his recent comments, is a country mile ahead already. David Catchpoole

Coopers Shoot ■ Don Page’s four page, selfpromotional ‘Coastal Connection’ insert in last week’s Echo boldly displayed the headline ‘Protecting our environment’. He then proceeded to tell his readers how they can do more to ‘protect the environment’. He does not tell the voters how his party, the Nationals, plans to tackle climate change but recycles a number of ‘useful hints’ many of us have already taken on board in our lives. It seems the Nationals solution to global warming is to give their readers ‘green tips’ and leave it at that while the trucking firms and the coal industry go ahead with business as usual. Is it fair to assume from this that the state Nationals have no policies on climate change?

I urge the people of the state electorate of Ballina to start asking Don Page some hard questions. Will the state Nationals stop new coalmines? Will they stop the building of the Anvil Hill coalmine? Will the state Nationals in power introduce carbon trading? Is a carbon tax on their agenda? Will the Nationals in NSW government sign the Kyoto Protocols as many states in the US have done? What is the state Nationals target for CO2 emissions in 2010? What is their target for renewable electricity? Will they end land clearing of native forests in our state, or will they take the teeth out of the legislation? And keep in mind that no matter how green Don Page is when he is making electioneering speeches, he votes with the Nationals in Parliament. The Greens on the other hand have a number of wellthought-out policies to address climate change – check them out on the Greens NSW website. PS I noticed that Don’s photograph appeared 15 times within the space of four pages. Is Don aiming for a world record in political propaganda? John Bailey

So what’s stopping you?

and children have been slaughtered and many more wounded during this time. The execution of Saddam Hussein, a previous American ally when fighting Russians in Afghanistan, has removed a dictator who still had a sizeable following in Iraq. The conflict between Shiite and Sunni religious groups however will not be solved quickly or justly through imposition of solutions by foreign invaders. Whether a rapid withdrawal or more phased-out action to allow the Iraq militia to be strengthened and combat the reimposition of extreme actions by rival reli-

ship of ABC Learning or any of his other boardroom positions, so he clearly is not confident of winning. The trouble is the tide is turning away from the National Party and its share of seats around the country is shrinking. Former National Party members turned independents now sit in formerly safe seats with massive majorities. They are unshackled from the ultra conservative policies of the ‘shoot it if it moves and chop it down if it doesn’t’ Nationals. The National Party is no longer relevant, especially in areas such as ours. Almost none of those moving into this area from Sydney, Melbourne and other areas has ever voted National. It is a great pity the amiable Don Page can’t wean himself off the National Party teat. He’d probably have a job for life as an independent. As a National he is obliged to follow their policies which are fundamentally anti-green. He announced as ‘Premier in 2012’ at the Bangalow Global Warming Hypothetical the other day that he would have nothing of nuclear power and yet he will be obliged to support nuclear power as a member of the Coalition. He may also participate in dismantling our marine park system and allowing even more clearing of native vegetation with increased loss of biodiversity. Don is a sheep in wolf’s clothing, the wolf being the National Party. If Don were able to throw off that dreadful anti-green coat and become an independent, then it would be easier to vote for him.

Possum Creek gious mullahs, the withdrawal of invading troops must be relatively soon. The insane proposal of President Bush to send an additional 21,000 troops into that country must be firmly rebuffed and Australian troops withdrawn as soon as possible. Australia would not be a target for Middle Eastern extremists if we had not invaded Iraq four years ago. On this score alone, plus Prime Minister Howard’s overt lying, flawed record on climate change and industrial relations, his party should be voted out of office at the next federal elections.

Articles Australians For Animals activist Sue Arnold reports on the political intrigue surrounding Japan’s whaling agenda

The bloody war on whales continues in earnest The battle to save the world’s whales is opening up on many fronts. The good news is that it looks like the fire on the Nisshin Maru may have delayed or ended the Japanese whaling season for this year. Even better news is the marginally reported statement from a media release Peter Garrett issued on February l5. In it he says, ‘A Rudd Labor government will pull out all stops in the international courts to stop whaling for all time.’ That’s the best news in years. If concern about whales is translated into votes, a Rudd government would be a sure bet and Australia would earn a genuine reputation as the world’s leading anti whaling nation The bad news is that if Howard gets back into government, the whale conservation cause will be lost. Japan will continue hunting whales and his government will keep bleating. In the US, unless the Democrats take major and active steps to reverse the support given by the Bush Administration to whaling interests, saving whales will be a tough, if not impossible battle. Americans simply do not know about the havoc the Japenese whaling fleet is creating in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary. The public is unaware that US whale conservation policy has done an almost complete backflip. The dedicated non action responses from Washington DC have given a green light to Japan, Iceland and other countries preparing to whale illegally. Behind the scenes, some

Machiavellian acts are taking place. Latest intelligence from the international anti whaling NGO community is that participation at IWC meetings by anti whaling NGOs could soon encounter very severe restrictions. In fact, if the restrictions being canvassed are passed at the forthcoming meeting of IWC Convention in Anchorage, Alaska, late May, anti whaling organisations could find themselves permanently shut out of convention meetings. Thus ensuring that the business of whale slaughter could go on behind closed doors without the scrutiny of public interest. In 2006, the IWC NGO community representatives approached the Finance and Administration Committee

of the IWC Secretariat. Seeking more participation at IWC meetings, the NGO community wanted to eliminate the need for NGOs to have offices in four countries; to allow more than one NGO from any one organisation to be present in the meeting room and to secure limited speaking rights for NGOs. The response from the Secretariat can only be described as shocking. Currently being canvassed are the following recommendations: Any NGO seeking IWC accreditation should have a demonstrated interest/competence/experience in the work of the IWC. Any national NGO would be required to be approved

by the state in which it is located. Criteria might be set by contracting governments to object to the accreditation of any NGO. For example, if a majority of contracting governments objected to an NGO, it would not be accredited. Once these criteria are agreed, the IWC Secretariat would withdraw accreditations from all currently accredited NGOs and invite new applications according to the new criteria. These recommendations, given Japan’s current majority at IWC, give unprecedented power to any government to bar any NGO which doesn’t agree with policy. Whether anti whaling governments will strongly pro-

test over the recommended changes remains to be seen. But bottom line, who will define what ‘interest/competence/experience in the work of IWC’ means or whether a particular NGO meets these criteria. How likely is it that NGOs from whaling countries who oppose their country’s whaling agenda are allowed to attend IWC meetings by their governments? What about NGOs who disagree with anti whaling government policies? The new accreditation procedure has the possibility of excluding any anti whaling NGO. In the meantime, recent developments in the US give even less cause for comfort. A Policy Statement against Commercial and Scientific Whaling signed off by many major international environment organsations is of concern. While noting that hundreds of whales are killed under the guise of scientific whaling (actually the figure is in the thousands), the statement states the slaughter is deceitful and in violation of domestic and international law. However, there are no solutions offered other than to suggest ‘effective enforcement of the IWC policies’. Every IWC NGO organisation is fully aware that there is zero legal enforcement of IWC policies much less any ‘effective enforcement’. The statement suggests that non compliance with IWC policies and decisions must be penalised but there are no suggestions or recommendations as to how this might happen.

Some of the groups who have signed onto the statement include the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Greenpeace US, the Ocean Conservancy and other major organisations. The statement’s call for the US government to ‘maintain its unequivocal opposition to commercial and scientific whaling’ is hollow given that the major environmental groups supported and lobbied the US Congress to support a Revised Management Scheme (RMS). As the RMS laid down the foundations for a resumption of commercial whaling, the support of some of the major international groups caused a major split in the anti whaling conservation movement. The real drivers of the whaling issue are being lost in the rut of misinformation and the relentless spin and oversimplification of a complex environmental issue. Anti whaling governments are not pulling out any stops or taking any decisive steps to stop Japan, or Iceland or Norway. Pro whaling nations are busy working in other international fora to get support for a resumption of commercial whaling. Only governments put a stop to whaling. But people can make governments take action. It’s called democracy. If the forces of darkness succeed, there will be no stopping commercial whaling worldwide. It is imperative that people take political action. The ALP has thrown down the gauntlet and the public can now show its approval and save the whales.

Boots and all: walking away from depression

N

ext time you have a problem, don’t sleep on it, walk it out instead. It has become a wellknown, effective treatment for depression to combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with some form of exercise. The exercise component was thought to elevate the brain’s relaxation and elation chemicals, serotonin and dopamine. New research suggests exercise does offer that, and so much more to treat psychological conditions. Bi-lateral movement – where both sides of the body are used symmetrically and alternately, as in walking when the right arm swings as the left foot strides, and vice versa – does something powerful. It balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain. When one side of the brain is more active than the other, it creates a dominant hemisphere. Most of us know a friend who is ‘so left brain’ or ‘really right brain’. Left-brain dominance, when the left side of the brain is more active is competent at tasks that require logical thinking, analysis, and formulaic patterns. When the left side of

walk. Walking with its rhythmic side-to-side stimulation of the body causes nerve impulses to cross the brain from left hemisphere to right hemisphere and back at a specific rate or frequency. The cross patterning produces an integration of left hemisphere ‘thinking’ functions with right hemisphere and brain stem ‘feeling’ functions. This bilateral action helps balance the hemispheres of the brain so as to assist in processing unresolved trauma and the causal factors of depression. How it works is a part of the brain called the hippocampus acts as our temporary one-day notepad. Anything that happens in the present is jotted down here. During sleep we dream and go into REM (Rapid Eye Movement), where our eyes move back and forward underneath our eyelids ferrying information from the hippocampus to other parts of the brain for processing, storing or dumping. REM sleep is an inbuilt bilateral mechanism that helps us deal with everyday stress. If the information is too ‘hot’ or too much for the brain to handle it is thrown back to the hippocampus the next morning. This issue is now ‘on your mind’.

the brain is overactive it turns on the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response) and can make for an aggressive, corporate warrior, argumentative type. Right-brain dominance, when the right side of the brain is dominant and more equipped to handle tasks that require creativity, imagination and intuitive thinking, leads to a parasympathetic dominant nervous system. This is the daydreamer, the artist who prefers to float than to land. Human beings are designed to walk. In Africa, the cradle of mankind, hominids took their first steps. In an evolutionary sense we humans differentiated ourselves from the pack because we could walk (and think rationally, but that’s another story). Walking enabled us to free up our arms and put them to better use, planting seeds, making tools and holding young. For the next three million years walking was the primary, virtually sole, means of transportation overland. Once man worked out how to ride a horse, we became a little lazier when crossing continents to enter battles or trade spices, but it was the

invention of the wheel that really signaled the start of a more sedentary existence. A study from The Department of Transport, London, has shown that in just the past twenty years motorised travel has reduced the amount of walking we do by an average of 28 per cent. The decline of the daily stroll is partly responsible for the deterioration in our physical health. We know that regular walking helps prevent heart attack, diabetes, hip fractures, obesity, depression and anxiety. A Harvard Alumni study found men who walked more than two kilometres per day had a 13 per cent lower risk of premature death than those who walked less. Conversely, as a society we are facing an alarming epidemic of childhood obesity and all the complications that drags with it (diabetes, joint problems, bone fractures), and the most common form of death remains cardiovascular disease. But it is the impact of inertia on mental health that is also worrying. The crippling mental and emotional condition, where life loses value and meaning, affects 450 million people worldwide, and is listed as a health epidemic by the World Health

Organisation. Almost one in eighteen people currently living on the planet are on antidepressants. Living in the sublime Byron Shire, it’s hard to believe so many of us have lost the ability to tune into the beauty of life on earth, but we know that life is more complex than that. Could the answer be as simple as walking?

R

esearchers from Duke University Medical Center found that a 30minute walk three times a week was more effective than in relieving a patient’s depressive symptoms than the antidepressant, Zoloft. A follow up study in 2000 found that exercise-only patients were less likely to have a recurrence of their depression. Walking reduces the stress hormone cortisol, while rousing the brain to release endorphins and serotonin. And walking stimulates processing, called bi-lateral therapy. Bi-lateral therapy is the use of bi-lateral movement to regulate activity between the two hemispheres of the brain. When done while calling to mind a specific problem it can help to ‘process’ the issue. In its simplest form bilateral therapy occurs when we

B

ilateral movement, be it REM or walking, promotes equilibrium between the two hemispheres of the brain. Historically, societies who are hemispherically unbalanced are more likely to be patriarchal, hierarchical, and violent. Societies that are hemispherically balanced are more likely to be egalitarian and democratic and employ violence only in self-defence. Anthropological evidence shows that the North American Indians were not gratuitously violent until the introduction of the horse from Europe in the 1500s. Societies that still walk as their form of transport, such as the San of Southern Africa (think of the movie The Gods Must be Crazy) are rarely aggressive or hierarchal. Bilateral therapy has been used intuitively for millennia by aboriginal people, who would ‘go walkabout’ to stride out problems and solutions. In the 1700s the Austrian physician, Franz Anton Mesmer, and later, Sigmund Freud, developed a therapy out of it. The technique, commonly applied bilateral finger movements (like a pendulum swing) or crosstapping which was used to help balance the hemispheres of the brain to assist in

processing unresolved trauma, and issues. More recently Francine Shapiro, a psychologist from the University of California, did her PhD thesis on what she called Eye Movement Desentisation, a technique where she waved two fingers in front of a patients’ eyes while having the patient call to mind the traumatic event. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated its efficacy. In 1999 physician and science writer Leonard Shlain in his book The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict between Word and Image suggests that the process of learning to read is an entirely left-brain hemisphere exercise that causes children to develop left hemisphere dominance at an early age. Shlain noted that learning to read prior to the age of seven, roughly the age when hemisphere dominance is determined, may cause these children to develop into left-sided dominant adults rather than individuals who are balanced bilaterally. It is recognised that the earlier in life children become literate, society becomes more disconnected from their emotions and from empathy. Strolling, striding, meandering, hiking or whatever form of walking you prefer not only helps to break you out of the blues but it is effective in promoting creative thought and manifestation. In his book Walking Your Blues Away,Thom Hartmann details how to do this. As you walk, define the issue, bring the internal story to your mind’s eye and hold this image. Ideally, he says, walk a distance of four kilometres. Hartmann says this is how to create a new internal story to keep focused on manifesting your dream reality (think: What the Bleep). There is an old saying, ‘If you want to know if your brain is flabby, feel your legs.’ The bilateral action of walking assists in processing stress and trauma and also promotes clarity and creativity. When in the darkness of depression or the breathlessness of anxiety, exercising may be the last thing you imagine to do. But if you can overcome the inertia and get moving, you will feel the difference. Recently, a patient shared with me how she finally beat a lifetime of depression. ‘My two antidepressants are my left leg and my right,’ she said. ■Mullumbimby naturopath Nicholas Smith writes for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Bangalow Hypothetical: Is this our brave new world? The time is February, 2012. There have been several changes in government since 2007. The 2011 election resulted in a hung state parliament, which, in turn, led to an outbreak of intense factional polarisation and conflict within both the ALP and the Liberal Party. Against all odds, the state of NSW is now run by a Unity Coalition of Independents, Nationals, Greens and defectors from the two major parties. The new government is led by the Nationals MP for Ballina, Don Page, who has declared his intention to offer the people of NSW honest leadership in facing the huge challenges of climate change and energy depletion. Jan Barham, formerly the Mayor of Byron Shire and a relative newcomer to state poltitics, has been allocated the Environment and Planning portfolio in the Page Unity Government. After entering parliament at a 2009 by-election for the seat of Tweed, Jan quickly made a name for herself as the leader of an influential cross-party climate change caucus, which forced the major parties to rethink many of their outmoded traditional policy positions, and was instrumental in the formation of the Page government. Within this new bipartisan framework, anything seems possible. This was the scene set at the Climate Change Hypothetical held at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Tuesday evening last week. A capacity crowd of 350 braved the sweltering night to observe a panel of 15 deal with the challenge of mobilising our local community to face life in a post-carbon world. Radio National’s Mick O’Regan – a familiar face at the Byron Bay Writers Festival – gave Geoffrey Robertson a run for his money in steering the panel to address the questions which will be facing us in five years time.

Miller, representing the tourism industry, advocated a new era of slow tourism, with visitors arriving by boat to be met with floral leis, musical evenings, and an entrance tax. Organised by the Bangalow Community Alliance, working with the newly formed Green Coast Cata-

Within this hypothetical scenario, Greens Senator Kerry Nettle has become the chair of the Senate Standing Committee on Responsible Energy, a venue for brokering important political deals that result in a major boost to Australia’s renewable energy industries. Social policy consultant Maggie Brown has become the coordinator of the Community Resilience Web, advocating building up existing community organisations and networks. In the imagined scenario, there are 7,000 traumatised victims of an extreme weather event that has wiped out the highrise homes of segments of the Gold Coast. These climate change refugees travel south to an already bulging Byron Shire looking for housing, work, food, clothing and counselling. ‘They will probably be people with nowhere to go, as the wealthy are more likely to be able to get away and write off their losses,’ Maggie said. ‘The least powerful people all over the world are likely to become the environmental refugees, the ones who will find it the most difficult to relocate, recover and start anew.’ Meanwhile Ballina ALP Candidate Melanie Doriean has been catapaulted to the ALP National Policy Review Taskforce, which has a mandate to review all the party’s policies in order to bring them into alignment with the

goal of environmental sustainability. Scientific reality was brought to the situation by Griffith University Professor of Ecology, Dr Roger Kitching and the State Manager of Resources Information in the NSW Department of Natural Resources, Jeremy Black, while the current co-director of the Rainforest Information Centure, Ruth Rosenhek, has, by 2012, launched a Global Deep Time Institute to ‘help communities face and come to terms with Gaia’s transition to a new epoch of evolutionary creativity’. Lismore Councillor Ros Irwin played a role on the panel as the ‘President of the Wollumbin Bioregion Council’, a large body set up by the new state administration with greatly enhanced management powers, while the younger generation was represented by Cassie Carlopio, formerly a captain of Woodlawn College, who, for the night, became the National Co Convenor of a network of under-35-yearold Earth Stewards, running under the slogan ‘We can only do better!’ The audience attending Tuesday night’s event represented a broad cross section of our community, ranging from senior officers of the State Emergency Services, through to environmentalists, farmers, academics, ministers of religion, repre-

Business lags behind in green practices Despite global warming being one of the most important issues on the nation’s agenda, new research released today by Pilot BeGreen has revealed that Australian businesses are not implementing simple practices that could significantly reduce their impact on the environment. Just days away from National Business Clean Up Day, the inaugural Pilot BeGreen Office Audit has found that 74 percent of office workplaces always use air conditioning. Similarly

one in seven office workers operate in an environment where the lights are not turned off at night, extending energy usage into the night when it is not needed. The Pilot BeGreen Office Audit also found that only 25 percent of offices are using only recycled paper, and when it comes to office workers, only 23 percent of those surveyed have ever used a pen or writing instrument made from recycled material. An overwhelming 85 percent of office workers were

found to be unnecessarily printing off hard copy documents rather than proof reading them on screen, contributing to excess paper waste that can easily be avoided. No less than 35 percent of those office workers surveyed admitted to failing to turn off their computer every night, adding to Australia’s business generated environmental woes. The research was conducted nationally by telephone, among a representative sample of 371 full and part time office workers.

sentatives of the Rural Fire Service, a variety of climate action groups, townies, activists and just about every political party. Oddly enough, though eight members of the Liberal party were invited to attend the event, all declined, ending up as the only political party lacking representation at this original interpretation of how life could be. Other panel members were Gai Hart-Hughes, a Bangalow real estate agent; Pam Brook, of BrookFarm macadamia producers; DPI policy officer Richard Swinton and Big Scrub Landcare president and Rainforest Rescue co-founder Dr Tony Parkes. Surfing legend Rusty

lysts, by the end of the evening, dozens had signed up to a working group being formed to prepare proposals for community consideration. See www.greencoastcatalysts.com.au for more information. The evening was filmed and will be screened locally in coming months.

The most beautiful rain cleansed the morning on February 2, the day of Shalem’s ceremony. It was held at Shalem’s corner at New Brighton on the sand bank in Marshall’s Creek. The weeks leading to this day were both hard and beautiful for Yasmin, JalungAy and myself. There was and continues to be so much support and love from the South Golden village and our friends and family everywhere. The major focus of our love for Shalem, during the

last two weeks was a totem pole angel. This was the most amazing process to work through with our close friends – the vision of love and the connection to our little girl during this time was so powerful and healing. The beautiful people who helped and put their creative force into Shalem’s angel, we must thank from the bottom of our hearts. The ceremony on the sandbank in Marshalls Creek at New Brighton was most beautiful, free and full of love. Children played, swam, built sand castles, as

friends and family placed flowers, crystals and stones on the sand spiral. The kids’ prayer ties were set free in the fire and love was allowed to pass through us all as we shared songs and stories of Shalem. Thank you to the Gyuto Monks for the prayers and chanting. To all our fathers, uncles, mothers, aunts and children of this amazing community and the Margaret River community, your love for our family and Shalem is so powerful. – Corey, Yasmin and Jalung-Ay

Hands Around The World aims to heal A group of north coast residents have joined with Indigenous Elders mainly from Australia and America to form ‘Hands Around The World’, a group that; through cultural exchange aims to share wisdom and knowledge around the country, particularly with the young. Healers, medicine men and women, pipe holders, wisdom poets, songmen and women, dancers and story tellers are included in the entourage. ‘Respecting protocols that are non-political, non-profit and are based on world peace, love, grace, truth,

oneness, knowledge and unity’, the group is planning to visit universities, schools and communities sharing ceremony, art, crafts, film, writing and music. ‘While traveling together, the group will be learning and sharing with each other, promoting a living, walking role-model and laying down a foundation stone for future generations.’ Founding member Lynne Sealotus Edmonson said, ‘It is only through visiting the tribes and holding hands together around the world through cultural education and comprehending each other’s differences that we

will unite in the true spirit of one human family.’ Hands Around the World is calling for groups and individuals to sponsor this initiative by way of financial support to cover the travel and accommodation costs incurred along the way. There is a fundraising event at the Byron Entertainment Centre on the evening of March 31 with storytelling, dance and award winning bands. See the website at www. handsaroundtheworld.com. au if you wish to give your support or to find out further information about the group.

Articles State election candidates roll out their political campaigns

Doriean launches at Ocean Shores

Greens want the train back

Candidate Melanie Doriean, second from left, with Richmond MP Justine Elliot, centre.

Melanie Doriean, Labor candidate for the seat of Ballina, launched the Northern Area of her campaign at Ocean Shores on Monday February 19. Justine Elliot, ALP federal member for the seat of Richmond, was the guest speaker and she enthusiastically endorsed Ms Doriean as a strong candidate for the State Labor Party. Ms Elliot said that it was good to have a candidate who would fight for the local community on important issues such as the environment, health, education and industrial relations. She praised Ms Doriean’s efforts over the years and her track record of working for the community.

‘Melanie is a community champion. I know that she has lived and worked in the area for many years and that she has been actively involved in our local community.’ Ms Doriean then welcomed the gathering and pointed out that this will be a tough but vital election to win. ‘The Iemma government is protecting NSW workers from the unfair Workchoices legislation, and we need a state Labor representative in Ballina who is willing and able to speak up for families in this electorate,’ Ms Doriean said. ‘Unlike Peter Debnam and his National Party mates who plan to cut 20,000 public service jobs if a coalition gov-

ernment is elected. This would affect our local police, teachers and health care workers.’ Ms Doriean said that Premier Morris Iemma has made spending on mental health and disability services a priority. ‘This commitment can be seen in the $38 million redevelopment of Richmond Clinic which was launched this week. ‘The north coast is going to continue to grow and will need more infrastucture. We are a fast growing and a changing electorate and it is time to look at which party can serve us best, and vote for the representative who can speak most strongly for us.’

Aunty to shack up with big sister Mandy Nolan Rhonda Ansiewicz of the Aunty Program is positive about the future of this community initiative in spite of the fact they didn’t receive recurrent funding to continue their operations. ‘I am focusing on how we rejig the future. We just had an AGM and have four brand new board members, so now there are nine of us. We just got funding through the Layne Beachley Foundation and have several irons in the fire for other aspects of funding and we are going to address our case to Council as to why we should get a $15,000 donation from them. ‘We are also in negotiations with the Big Sister program in Sydney, they are moving to Lismore and we would be auspiced under them. ‘It would take an incredible pressure off the organisation. You spend half your life getting funds and accounting for them, when the work you want to do is with the girls and the Aunties.’ There are currently 80 girls in the Aunty Program. The program doesn’t just

offer mentoring, it also offers valuable respite to families with high support-needs members. ‘Twelve of the families involved either have a mental health or intellectecual disability issue – and their kids are benefiting enormously from having that support there,’ says Rhonda. ‘Our Aunties are outstanding, they are trained volunteers, we support them through the mentoring process, most of them give their time, their love, their care, whatever’s needed, they jump in, they are the unsung heroes of our society, these people.’ Apart from lack of formalised government assistance, which Rhonda puts down as typical of the recalcitrant approach they take to non government organisations, Aunty is receiving support from the community to keep it operational. ‘John Gray Architects have given us rent free for three months... We would love to find a sponsor, or sponsors, or anybody who would like to support us with donations or in kind support. There are a lot of great people who give

their time, but there’s fatigue, there is donation fatigue...’ The Aunty Program is not purely focused on crisis, it’s about reaching out to girls and women who require support to enrich their lives. Rhonda went on to say, ‘Some are shy or find it hard to find friends; in our latest year, we are helping families through the friendship with the girls. We are the only organisation in NSW who runs an Aunty Program. We get the girls young enough so we build self esteem, bonding, and help with teenage years.’ With the prospect of a like minded organisation moving to Lismore, Aunty may be in the position to join forces to minimise the administrative and operational costs. Rhonda can see real advantages in being auspiced under the bigger and more global program. ‘We are hoping our negotiations with Big Sister develop. We would move the operations to Lismore and still keep a base here in Byron.’ If you would like to help phone 6685 7177 or email: aunty@mullum.com.au.

It’s rare to see a train anywhere on the north coast these days, let alone a Green train manoeuvering down Carlyle Street, on its way to the Byron Bay Railway Station. Over 60 people turned out at Byron Bay Railway Station last Friday to greet the train and meet the Greens Upper House candidate Dr John Kaye. Dr Kaye has been inspecting the north coast rail network and launching the Greens Rural Transport Package, which outlines a strategy for restoring rural and regional rail services and improving the availability, frequency and affordability of public transport services. Enthusiastic passengers helped transport the train, built by Byron Ballina Greens members, to the station. Mayor Jan Barham was acting Station Master. Greens candidate for Ballina John Bailey, said, ‘It’s a carbon saving initiative, we decided to use people power rather than fossil fuels to get us to the station on time.’ Trains On Our Tracks members were also on board, encouraging everyone to TOOT their votes and car horns in support. Dr Kaye said, ‘Rural and regional communities like Byron Bay and the north coast are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of rising oil prices. The economic, cultural and social lives of many residents depend on being able to regularly travel long distances. Without viable public transport alternatives, the level of isolation and economic deprivation will inevitably increase. ‘The Labor government’s decision to shelve the CasinoMurwillumbah rail line, the closure of rural branch lines and the slow death of CountryLink as coaches replace trains are all giant steps in the wrong direction.’ Lismore candidate Andy Gough said, ‘Young people have been let down by poor

transport services in rural NSW. Community groups on the north coast have expressed their outrage that public transport has been left out of the final Far North Coast Regional Strategy.’ Mr Bailey said, ‘The Greens Rural Transport Package would rebuild pub-

lic transport. It would restore funding to CountryLink, take away government subsidies to freight trucks and extend transport concessions to people on Health Care Cards. It would create a much better deal for young people and older people who often do not have a car.’

äĂ“ĂŠĂˆĂˆnäĂŠĂŽĂŽääĂŠÂœĂ€ĂŠä{ĂŽnĂŠn{ÂŁĂŠÂŁĂ“Ă“ĂŠ This is one of those trying weeks where things get mislaid, lost or just downright disappear, so make sure you have everything you need before you leave the house, office, restaurant, supermarket or car. Double check information and arrangements as well‌ ARIES: Aries’ strong capable image tends to obscure your sensitivity. But you need acknowledgement and appreciation as much as anyone, so rather than feel upset if you don’t get it, ask for whatever it is you truly, madly, deeply want this week. TAURUS: The recent TV screening of The Secret showed how our thoughts influence our results. You’re your own reality master so no matter how you’re feeling this week, keep focussing on a clear image of what you want to accomplish – then watch what happens. GEMINI: Misinformation’s rife this week, and it’s important to get your facts right. If you think someone’s not giving you the full picture they probably aren’t

– but they may not know it. In another two weeks it will all be sorted and you’ll have moved on‌ CANCER: Missed messages, mixed signals and misunderstandings don’t make this a good time for business moves. Or saying yes just to relieve the pressure of someone hassling you – you wouldn’t normally let impatience get the better of commonsense, so why do it this week? LEO: Trying to be logical and disciplined is a big ask right now. It would be easy to jump to conclusions, make assumptions and act on them – but not recommended, because as this week’s birthday poet Longfellow cautioned: Things are not what they seem‌

nostril-flaring, door slamming and full of tempestuous antics which should entertain you no end if you simply appreciate them for their artistic merits. On no account get caught up in other people’s dramas. SCORPIO: This week needs you being Scorpio Charming because everyone’s longing for some lightness, ease, cooperation and understanding. Too much pressure will send them fleeing from anyone causing emotional stress, and would you want that to be you? SAGITTARIUS: This week’s dance is likely to be the one step forward/two steps back tango. Never your favourite, but the upside of going over the same ground at the moment means you’ll get it right sooner rather than having to backtrack and rejig it later.

VIRGO: Others may handle stress quite differently than you do, so they need to be handled in a different way as well. Try complimenting people for anything they might be doing right – because cataloguing their faults could produce eruptive results this week.

CAPRICORN: Feeeeeelings‌ everyone has them and this week you’ll hear about them in all their gloriously inconsistent, demanding, tumultuous confusion. Even if you’re thinking What the? present the Capricorn dead pan, listen up and learn something you didn’t know.

LIBRA: This week’s Venus is foot-stamping, head-tossing,

AQUARIUS: Mars moving into Aquarius has you enterprising,

adventurous – and impatient. An understanding of cause and effect’s important, because the way you behave will determine this week’s success rate. While you mightn’t be in the mood for it, agreements should be confirmed in writing. PISCES: Singer Johnny Cash and psychologist Emile Coue are this week’s birthday Pisceans, so if you feel like you’re walking the line through a burning ring of fahr, try Emile’s famous mantra: Every day in every way I am getting better and better‌ Can’t hurt. Could help.

I’ve never had this happen before. Somehow my interview with Rachel Berger has mysteriously vanished into the ether. It has gone to that place that exists between pixels. All I have now is some vague memory of what I found to be a most amusing chat with a most amusing woman. Let me navigate our conversation for you. I phone her on her mobile. Just that morning she’d had a chipped tooth repaired and was wandering the aisles of the lingerie section of David Jones. She admitted it was a place she was unfamiliar with being a girl who was more comfortable in tracky dacks. She laughed, trackies by day, sequins by night and not much in between. But this sudden soujourn to smalls was the result of an engagement later that day. Ms Berger was contracted to perform at a wedding and her chosen frock was completely see through. Therefore, she was selecting a slip. Something comedians select very carefully. As far as the wedding was concerned she laughed dryily and commented ‘I feel like wearing a black arm band and shrieking don’t do it!!!’ She is insistent that I mention that this is not a women only show. That she doesn’t do women only kind of material. Rachel adds: ‘I’m a comic first and a woman second.’ Men are most definitely welcome. Ms Berger has garnered the kind of reviews that most performers only dream of. The Sydney Morning Herald proclaimed: ‘Berger is a whirling dervish of wit, revelation and philosophy.’ The List in Scotland adored her: ‘She is one of the sharpest comedians of either gender or hemisphere’. The Australian were also smitten ‘She’s loud, she’s brash, she takes no prisoners… she’s just so excellent’. But it was The Canberra Times whose heart she broke: ‘An hour with the unique Berger is like driving on a hot, dark night with the high beam lights coming straight at you. She’s alluring, seductive and dazzling. Two hours could be dangerous’. Rachel is a dedicated comic. She proclaims that she is a Nun for her art. Comedy is her passion. She lives and breathes it and even asserts that there is no greater joy than drinking champagne from a styrofoam cup in the backroom of a club somewhere. She is a comedy convert ‘I even love the way my shoes stick to the floor!’ It was a love affair initiated by circumstance. Berger was unlike the crop of female comedians that she found herself amongst in the late eighties/early nineties. Where they were a pant wearing crowd, she wore makeup and frocks and her material tended to be be political and socially conscious rather than gender related. While others battled for stage time at the Last Laugh, she cut her teeth MCing strip shows. She maintains there was no better way, in fact that’s how comics like Lenny Bruce got their groove. You have to get it

E N T E R TA I N M E N T

right, because a heckler shouting ‘show us your tits’ is not inappropriate, it’s a standard request. Rachel got real good, real fast. Travelling to the Edinburgh Festival she performed the London circuit. She created one woman shows that saw her play packed shows both here and overseas. Rachel long ago realised the power of the punchline and decided to use it for good, instead of evil. Even though an audience may not agree, she insists that it’s vital they get a chance to consider an alternative point of view on a situation. She is politically outspoken in a landscape where others tend to shut their mouth. In a recent show she dealt with the issue of workplace safety noting that as a first world nation we have one of the worst track records for workplace accidents. The child of Polish refugees who fled Europe after WW2, Berger grew up knowing exactly what it was like to be an outsider trying to break into dominant culture. Interestingly, we both agreed, the Outsider is very much the nature of the comic, as it allows a perspective to understand and define experience. In fact Berger’s latest show, ‘Hold the Pickle’ chronicles her experience growing up in a Deli, using a more theatrical deployment of character to shape the story. Ms Berger is a woman with attitude. She jokes ‘It’s a shame when they circumcised John Howard, they threw away the wrong bit’. With hundreds of television appearances under her belt including Good Morning Australia, Rove Live, and The Glasshouse, Berger knows how to hold her crowd. She’s one hell of a class act. In fact, she’s frocking brilliant!

There are few homes without an ocky strap, that silent terror that lurks within the dark recesses of carboots, that secures swinging doors and seals a bulging suitcase. Harmless in repose, this elasticised quick fix has the temperament of Joan Crawford – a darling genius one moment, a dangerous eye-gouging throat-ripping snapper fish the next. A recent victim of the innocuous ocky filled me in on his terrifying encounter. Those with mouth issues should stop reading now. It had been a happy morning. This particular young man and his beautiful wife had just purchased their

first King Size bed. The contented pair strapped the mattress to the roof of their vehicle, elated with the imminent pleasure a large expanse of bed can bring, and whammo, an ocky strap springs back and rips three of his teeth out. On the spot. (If I’d known about the ocky tooth removal method it would have saved me a fortune at the dentist). From images of tantric love on ten thousand springs to toothless banjoplayers in a breath. There ain’t nothing subtle about the ocky strap. I googled injuries. The ocky strap is like stretchy asbestos. You know it’s gonna get you,

you just don’t know when. Thousands of eyes have been swiftly removed by a snaking hook, numerous throats torn asunder, ears, penises, breasts. In fact, there’s barely a body part where the satanic strap hasn’t found tender flesh to pierce and tear. When I was growing up the ocky strap was a constant feature. It attached my grandfather’s beer bottle candle holders to the wall, it secured the foot rest on the bung Jason recliner and kept Aunty Dolcie in her wheelchair. A virtual peek into wikipedia reveals that ockie is not short for octopus, my initial guess. It’s an abbreviation

of occupier. An occupier strap was something that women used to attach their stockings to their panties. My god, no wonder women couldn’t find their clitoris in years gone by, chances are the retracted strap had inadvertently removed them. Let this be a warning to those of you who still insist on securing your surfboard with these evil elastics. The ocky is evil. A lesser known fact is that Steve Irwin didn’t in fact get stabbed through the heart by a stingray barb – it was a rogue ocky strap.

COMEDY IN THE RAW It’s Raw Comedy time again – when new comics battle it out to take out the coveted gold chicken. This year the Melbourne Comedy Festival comp pans for gold all over the country but local heats are here, once again in Byron.

In fact, the event organisor was completely amazed by the continued stream of new and exciting comic entrants we have from Byron. With last year’s winner, Ms Hannah Gadsby, a graduate of the ACE school of funny, it’s not unrealistic to think that one of our comedians just might have what it takes to make it through! The first of two heats is at the Byron Bowling Club on Monday 12 March at 8pm. Tix are $10 & 15 and can be bought at the door or booked on 6684 3443. MC me, Mandy Nolan.

Bass Kleph is a DJ/producer who has been doing very well in Sydney. He has just started his own record label, runs a weekly radio show, had his residency named best club night and has produced some seriously pumping tracks. I asked him a couple of quick questions before his gig in Byron this Friday. You’ve started a new Record Label, Vacation Records. What’s the ethos behind it? We come together, devoted to pleasure. We uphold liberty and leisure. To break the norm, end the clichÊ, who couldn’t use a holiday. Life’s too short for bullshit, our escapades are all legit. A necessary evolution, for a largely evil constitution. What artists and releases are expected on your label and what production stuff do you have happening at the moment? We kicked off the label with a Bass Kleph remix of Melbourne singer/ songwriter Gotye. Currently, the other artists working on original material for the label include fRew, and the Shopliftas. We’ve just done

a special early release of our 2nd single, currently available exclusivelyfrom our online store at www. vacationrecords.com You were a drummer, scoring a deal with a major label and playing on TV a couple of times. How does that experience and skill affect your production style and musical tastes? Massively. I wouldn’t be where I am today without all the things I learned to do, and more importantly, not to do. Tastewise it definitely makes you more open minded. Your radio show on 2SER, Beat Box is popular, what happens during a regular show? We have special guest interviews and mix sets from DJs and producers from all over the world. We also play a selection of what’s hot that week in Electro Breaks, Tech House and Minimal Techno. There’s a few laughs squeezed in for good measure too. Especially when Jonesy makes it in. You’re also an accomplished mix engineer, how does that help your production techniques and DJing? Heaps! Dance music relies

The fact that I’ve spent a lot of time honing that side of things definitely make things easier for me. Not just because I can make things sound good, and quickly. But also because of the things you learn from taking so many songs through that all important final stage. After picking up this info, it really influences your decisions at the early stages of writing a new song. What sets your DJ style apart from the rest? The fact that I write music and have done so for a long time gives me a different feel to a lot of other DJs. A more

musical feel. I play a lot of my own music in my sets, and a lot of exclusive re-edits, and bootlegs. I also mix almost everything in key. This is something more DJs should get into. It really takes your mixing to another level. Apart from that, I use a special new way of DJing with something called ‘Rane Serato Scratch’. It is similar to another product called ‘Final Scratch’. It lets you use regular turntables to manipulate music from a laptop. BASS KLEPH IS AT PLAY ON FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SUPPORT FROM NICK TAYLOR AND POB.

WHAT DA FUNK What Da Funk is on again this Saturday night at Grevillea St in the Arts and Industry Estate. It’s always a good night and the line up features local dance floor killers, Nick Taylor, Sarah Tonin, Foxxy, Pip and Zenna. /Â…Ă•Ă€Ăƒ`>ÞÊ£Ê >Ă€VÂ…ĂŠĂŠ ĂŠ/ ĂŠ*," 1 / " -\ĂŠ, ĂŠ ĂŠ, ĂŠ /

APOCALYPTO When the Spanish entered Teotihuacan, one of Cortez’s lieutenants, Bernal Diaz, marvelled at the city’s splendour. Pre-Colombian Central America has had mixed historical assessments since, but Mel Gibson dwells exclusively on its savagery. An indian who looks like Ronaldinho lives in an idyllic jungle village with his beautiful pregnant wife and cute little boy. Along come the raping and pillaging mob from a bigger tribe. As bad guys go, they are the pits. Before Ronaldinho and his

mates are shackled and taken off to be sacrificed, he hides his missus and son at the bottom of a dry well. The town to where the captives are marched makes Heironymous Bosch’s visions of hell seem quaintly amusing. The body count soars, with Gibson enjoying the cutting out of the beating heart so much he films it twice. It looks like curtains for Ronaldinho but, as the movie’s only half done, he escapes and is chased relentlessly by the bad guys. It’s just as well

his recuperative powers are superhuman, for he has to survive arrows and spears as well as a slow-coach jaguar, quicksand and a waterfall so daunting that it forces everybody into slo-mo when they see it. Ronaldinho jumps and survives, but so do his pursuers. Then, shit a brick, it starts to pour ... that’s right, with the expectant mum and kid still at the bottom of that dry well. Ronaldinho steps on the gas and, with the native’s genius, he harries the bad guys with poison darts and a beehive and bludgeons to death the cruel indian who had baited him earlier, leaving him with blood squirting like a water pistol from his mashed head. There is muddled religious and social commentary, design and cinematography are spellbinding, but basically this is an old fashioned, thrill a minute adventure, with good pitted against evil. I loved it. John Campbell

MARIE ANTOINETTE This is Sofia Coppola’s first movie since the wildly overrated ‘Lost in Translation.’ Again it features a self-absorbed young woman wallowing in her boredom. It is visually seductive but, as Marie Antoinette, Kirsten Dunst has little to do and never looks anything more than a sweet kid from the midwest trussed up in fancy dress. Coppola’s cousin, Jason Schwartzman, does an admittedly wonderful gormless Louis XVI but, as head lady in waiting, Judy Davis’s penchant for overacting is given free rein in a face-pulling tour de force. The intrusive soundtrack is frequently of contemporary rock and it would be interesting to know when it was decided to use this ploy - probably when the lifelessness of the screenplay became apparent. The songs are hit and miss and the inclusion of The Ballad of Lucy Jordan by Marie’s Mum (Marianne Faithfull) might not have gone astray. Bow Wow Wow’s I Want Candy worked better than most, but overall the effect was too much like MTV, making everything complement the music, rather than vice versa. What stylistically might have been intended as boldness comes across as plain silly and when sneakers are included in a shoe collage it is embarrassingly indulgent. External events never impinge on the gaiety of the frock and food fest, which is probably as it really was, with Marie Antoinette as

separated from the seething sans-culottes outside the palace as Kirsten Dunst, the Coppolas and other Hollywood royalty are from today’s riffraff. But there is only so far you can go with at home with the Bourbons, especially when there is a dearth of emotional engagement. Meticulous period recreation provides a soporific appeal, but you are denied the expected climax by not seeing the queen’s pretty head severed from her body at the guillotine. Perhaps Mel Gibson’s bloodlust will next deal with that episode. John Campbell

and the music kicks in, you’re captivated. If you were alive in the ‘70s and early ‘80s it’s your job to see this movie. It’ll have you attempting one-

arm push-ups on the lounge room floor and shadow boxing in the shower all over again. Tristan Bancks

‘It doesn’t matter how this looks to other people. If this is something you gotta do, then you do it. Fighters fight.’ Rocky Balboa’s star has faded. No money. No personalised plates. The only signs of his former fame as two-time heavyweight champion of the world are the taunts he cops in the street and the restaurant he owns in south Philly, named after Adrian, his now-dead wife. But when a TV sports program asks the question, ‘Who would win a bout between current champ, Mason Dixon and Balboa in his prime’, a fifty-something Rocky begins the journey back into the ring. Written and directed by Sylvester Stallone, its steady pace owes more to the earlier movies than the flashy, later sequels. Stallone attempts to build characters and paint a believable picture of a richesto-roaches Balboa. There are a couple of unforgivably sentimental scenes between he and Paulie (Burt Young) and you do, at times, wonder when the action will begin. But when the Italian Stallion hits his first carcass, dashes up those stairs in the snow, 1 9ĂŠ ,‡ " / "

Tosser Digby had initiated the action. Contrary to his usual cool demeanour he appeared agitated. This was the man who could stare down a charging Pomeranian and wrestle it effortlessly to the ground.

‘Do you think it worked, old boy?’ asked Abbotsleigh, wiping a remnant of clay from his cheek.

‘I’d take it easy on the punch if I were you,’ replied Abbotsleigh, throwing back another glass. ‘Thoughts like that could drive a chap to, well, more thoughts like that.’

It was thirsty work and, after the ritual shower with the sacred prostitutes, we repaired to the deck for a spot of refreshment. We got stuck into the Orange, Bitters and Mescalin Punch and Chef’s famous potoroo-and-relish sandwiches.

‘Hard to say,’ said Digby, ‘who knows what disaster might have been averted? They say the world is in a bad state now but there is the tale of the shaman who had to take a pebble to the bottom of a lake, where there was a hole to be plugged. If he had not succeeded, then the whole universe would have drained away through the hole. A billion universes might have been likewise affected.’

‘Tosh,’ said Albert Athame-Grimoire. ‘My father knew Cheney’s father when they were both members of the Great Satan Ritual Sacrifice Cooperative Society and he always said it seemed like a decent family.’

We wheeled the Bear of Samtam – carved from a teak tree which had grown in the palace of Bulemein the Obnoxious, ruler of all Mintelsthan – into the appropriate courtyard hedged about by lillipilli. We rubbed sandalwood into its intimidating claws and into cheesecloth pockets beneath its armpits thrust onion rings. We stripped off our clothing and had the valets daub us all over with red clay mixed with guava juice. Sanders began to beat the drum. An ibis feather in our right hands and a string of Bedouin camel bells in our left, we danced anticlockwise about the great bear, whistling the primeval Tune of Protection, which bore a striking resemblance to Teddy Bears Picnic. On a dais to the south, three Sacred Prostitutes from the Temple of Baal danced the ancient dances of the Watusi and the Frug to the strains of a vinyl record playing on a pastel green gramophone. As the ceremony came to an end a bolt of lightning raced across the sky, illuminating our sweating red bodies. It was either a blessing, an omen, or a sign we would be in for a spot of precipitation.

‘Sanders might be right,’ said Bosworth, ‘cracked Nostradamus code floating about the Shire says Cheney will off Bush and then there’ll be a spot of Armageddon, don’t you know.’

A need for Digby was a need for us. His intuition had proven right on so many occasions; in fact his prophylactic – not to say inhibitory – insertion of gold wires into the nearby hillsides had saved Mullumbimby from a major earthquake.

It was a rather shocking thing for a servant to say. Who could suspect a wealthy war profiteer of Mr Cheney’s standing of any wrongdoing?

‘Whatever the case,’ interposed Digby, ‘I feel the need for the ceremony.’

Gentle reader, the offices of the Bear of Samtam are called upon only to ward off evil. ‘To quote the great bard,’ said Digby, explaining his actions to the assembled club members, ‘I can tell by the pricking of my thumbs that something wicked this way comes.’

SAVOURING SALADS

‘Bangalow’s own Asian foodstore, homewares and gifts’

*…œ˜i\ĂŠĂˆĂˆnÇÊ£n™x ÓÉÎnĂŠ ĂžĂ€ÂœÂ˜ĂŠ-ĂŒ]ĂŠ >˜}>Â?ÂœĂœ

Not everything my mother served us for evening meals was magnificent; there was always Sunday night’s stockstandard Cold Roast with Salad. We had had the roast lamb, beef, pork or chicken the previous night with the mandatory accompanying vegetables and gravy; by Sunday night, after a week of creative culinary performances to an audience of surly unappreciative teenagers and a husband happy with anything, it was as much as she had energy for. Cold, dry slices of sauce-less meat fanned onto a dinner plate leaving room for a wedge of iceberg lettuce and several slices of pink tomato still bearing the chill of the refrigerator – with no dressing and no seasoning, I used to find it boring beyond belief, boring to the point of inedibility. Salads have come a long way since then. Salads, on the contrary, have become radically reinvented, almost a thing apart. A fine line now separates a salad from a main meal, so that we really need a new term. The word itself derives from the Latin ‘salata’, meaning ‘salty’ (from ‘sal’, salt), and salads have been around forever. Babylonians dressed their greens with oils and vinegars nearly 2000 years ago; early Romans livened up grass and herb combinations with salt; chefs for the European monarchs strewed rose petals, violets and nasturtiums throughout salad leaves in enormous bowls. Sometime in the 1990s when the cafĂŠ culture was truly taking hold and the shift toward lighter, less formal meals began, salads – and especially salads in big white bowls – became the height of fashion. Today they have their established foothold on most modern menus and no self-respecting cafĂŠ would be without at least a handful. The Caesar Salad craze was at the forefront and has never really diminished, neither in its simple classic form with its myriad, often dubious interpretations, nor the extensions it gave rise to, most notably chicken. A salad these days is really just a composition of ingredients, which in the hands of a good cook will be harmonious but which in those of a bad one will be nothing short of embarrassing. Because what is being offered is mostly cold – unless it is specifically described as a ‘warm salad’, about which I have my doubts (the French expression for it, ‘salade tiede’ or ‘lukewarm salad’ surely says it all) – it is of prime importance that the components be fresh, freshly cooked or prepared, and that not only the flavours but the textures are compatible, and that the visual result is vibrant. And finally, that it be excellently dressed. Both in cookbooks and on websites the entries for salads are impressive. There is really an inexhaustible number of recipes for ways you can assemble a series of ingredients and call them a salad; after scrolling through a seemingly endless Google search, the word ‘salad ‘ began to look strange to me, somehow wrong, or foreign, like a Middle Eastern greeting perhaps. Salads used to be perceived as healthy, virtuous, low-calorie menu choices whereas now, studded with cheeses, nuts and fatty meats and woven together with mayonnaises or rich oily dressings, they can no longer claim that fame. There was a period in Sydney when night after night I would prepare myself a Chicken Salad. It was utterly divine, an easy addiction, a barbecued quarter-chicken I would pick up from the local chicken take-away and tear into pieces in a bowl filled with mixed leaves, finely sliced red onion, unctuous grilled capsicum strips, translucent half moons of mushrooms, black olives and capers and anchovies, sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts, basil leaves and occasionally avocado. I would toss the seasoned lot together with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a generous slug of olive oil, then eat it dreamily from a deep white bowl (of course), invariably accompanying it with chunks of warm bread; it seemed so cruel that I became increasingly plump. I still love salads; they are one of my favourite meals but I mostly prepare them with greater restraint, and skip the bread. The loveliest salad in the world is a plain green one: a tumble of leaves and herbs grown locally, with the faintest glisten of decent oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Garlic optional.

Television Guide 1. Marina Golbahari is the protagonist in Osama (SBS, Wednesday, 10pm), a heart-rending story of the loss of women’s freedom when the Taliban take over Afghanistan. 2. An oldie but a goodie – Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Cher star in The Witches Of Eastwick (NBN, Saturday, 9.20), the movie about small town wickedness from the eponymous novel by John Updike. 3. Our Kylie will probably wear something more glam than this jumper in Showgirl Homecoming Tour (ABC, Sunday, 8.30pm), preceded by the stunning Planet Earth. Did you see those fungi coming out of that ant’s head the other night? Talk about spooky - but not half as spooky as chimpanzees on a rampage.

The inability of many people in NSW to access public dental services has led to a decline in their general health and wellbeing, the NSW Branch of the Australian Dental Association (ADA NSW) has said. Speaking at a forum to discuss NSW public dental services, ADA NSW President Tony Burges said too many people were suffering ill health due to a lack of funding for these services. ‘There are over 215,000 people waiting up to five years to receive public dental treatment in NSW,’ he said. ‘Public dental facilities are so overwhelmed meeting the demands of emergency patients and/or those suffering from acute pain that little if any preventative treatment is ever undertaken at these clinics.

‘This results in an increase in the occurrence of conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease and mouth infections.’ Dr John Gullota, from the NSW Branch of the Australian Medical Association (AMA NSW), also spoke at the forum and said oral diseases are linked to a wide variety of other health problems affecting a person’s general wellbeing. ‘Not only do you see the obvious problems such as tooth loss and impaired eating ability when you have poor oral health,’ Dr Gullota said. ‘For example, those with gum disease are two times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke. There is also growing acceptance diabetes is associated with increased occur-

rence and progression of this disease. ‘Gum disease may also contribute to adverse outcomes of pregnancy as a consequence of a chronic oral bacterial infection.’ Michelle Burrell, Acting Director of the NSW Council of Social Services (NCOSS) said such problems greatly affect a person’s standard of living. ‘Having any number of oral health problems can have a significant impact upon a person’s self-esteem, employment opportunities and overall quality of life,’ she said. Research shows that Australians lose about 1.5 million days of work due to dental problems each year. ADA NSW has repeatedly urged the NSW government to increase the funding for public dental services.

News Extra

Marine Rescue ‘poor cousins’ The Volunteer Marine Rescue Organisations of NSW save the state government tens of millions every year but receive recurrent government funding that represents an average of $764 per volunteer for training, operations and capital equipment, according to the organisations: ‘By comparison, the SES receives over $2,700 per volunteer. ‘The Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol, and its colleagues in the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and NSW Volunteer Rescue Association, are facing the most difficult financial challenge in our respective histories. We are all perilously under-funded by the state government and we are unanimous in the opinion that if the level of funding does not increase substantially we will all have to seriously consider limiting our emergency services to lifethreatening incidents only. ‘This is not a situation that any of us would willingly consider if it was not for the fact that volunteer marine rescue services have now reached the point that while our organisations are saving the government tens of millions of dollars a year, we are all struggling to meet our commitments. ‘Volunteer marine rescue organisations are now responsible for an average 63% of all marine rescues in NSW, up to 88% in some Water Police Marine Area Command regions, and as much as 100% in some parts of those regions where there is no Water Police presence. ‘In addition, marine rescue volunteers now handle 100% of radio traffic for recreational boating since the Telstra marine radio network was closed in 2005. ‘NSW volunteer marine rescue organisations are funded by NSW Maritime, a self-funding, statutory state government body classified by NSW Treasury as a nonbudget dependent general government agency. In other words, the NSW marine community pays for volunteer marine rescue services. ‘NSW Maritime is also a very successful self-funding organisation. In 2005-06 over $13 million was distributed to the state government. ‘In 2005-06 Coastal Patrol, Coast Guard and VRA had 1,688 active volunteer members with funding of $1.29 million. This represents an average $764 per volunteer member of which $296 is for mandatory Competency Based Training (CBT) and the balance of $468 is for operations and capital equipment repairs and replace-

ment. Coastal Patrol alone, the largest of the three organisations in NSW, had to find $3 million to operate last year. It will be more this year. Our direct share of the government funding for operations and capital in 2005-06 was $353,000. This is under 12% of the total costs and represents an even lower average of $404 per member for operations and capital costs. ‘It was very hard work raising the other $2.65 million last year. It will be even harder this year as there is actually 4.23% less funding for operations and capital in 2006-07. ‘By comparison, our colleagues in the SES had a well-deserved and realistic budget of $40.6 million in 2005-06. Of this $27.6 million (68%) was recurrent funding from the state government. ‘SES has 10,000 volunteer members and $27.6 million represents $2,760 per member. This is a significant difference in equitable funding of volunteer emergency services. Governments do not allocate funding without good reasons. There are very good reasons for SES to receive its level of funding. ‘It is our responsibility in the volunteer marine rescue organisations to make a strong and factual case for a fair share of funding for the marine emergencies we manage, the boating safety education we provide, the highmaintenance equipment we use and the property and lives we save. ‘Fourteen months ago in December 2005, the NSW Volunteer Marine Rescue Council prepared a detailed submission to the government for a realistic budget of $7.6 million (and since then our fuel costs have gone through the roof the same as everyone else’s). ‘The fact that this is more than a 600% increase on current funding simply demonstrates how desperately starved of funds our organisations have been. It also demonstrates the pragmatic, business reality of what is really needed for volunteer marine rescue organisations to maintain and replace our vessels that must be kept in Survey condition, operate best-practice communications technology, train our members, educate the boating public and work to ensure safety of life at sea. ‘The government knows what it costs to keep the Water Police afloat and there is no question that these costs are essential in our community. This is the nature of water-based services. But this is why the volunteers’ share of marine

emergency rescues in NSW has reached an unsustainable average of 63%. ‘The NSW election is on 24 March 2007. During this time Coastal Patrol and the other NSW volunteer marine rescue organisations will bring these issues to the attention of those who want our support to be the next government of NSW. ‘The Opposition has announced a commitment of $7.6 million a year to volunteer marine rescue. ‘At the date of writing, the incumbent government had not announced its VMR funding policy. We have until March 24 to fight for a fair and equitable balance.’ Patrol statistics demonstrate that 50% of all rescues involve vessels under 6m; a further 25% involve vessels up to 9m.

Film launch debacle It was a perfect night gone wrong, according to film maker Richard Friar. Last Saturday’s premiere of Think About It, a documentary about peace, attracted sellout crowds at the Community Centre in Byron Bay but was a technical disaster. ‘The film went out of sync just before the end, and throughout there were sound problems,’ Friar told The Echo. An advertised performance by acclaimed Aboriginal actor and artist David Gulpilil did not happen, and over 21 refunds were made. From the debacle however, the night turned into an open forum with Friar and the audience. ‘There was booing and heckling – one guy said to me “How can you say think

about it? That’s the problem with the planet, we’re thinking about it too much!”’ Clearly humbled and emotional, the filmmaker was sorry for the night’s premiere but is optimistic from the experience. ‘I want to offer my apology to the people of Byron Bay and I am very grateful to them for opening up the debate on this issue. I would love the opportunity to come back to show the people of Byron Bay the finished product for free – the audience has shown me how to proceed with this film and have given me wonderful inspiration.’ ‘There was magic on the night,’ says Friar, ‘and despite the problems I got what I wanted – they’re all talking and thinking about it!’

On Valentine’s Day 36 Northern Rivers visual artists gathered at the stunning Linnaeus Estate in Broken Head to try their luck in winning the hearts (and representation) of 12 local and Sydney based gallery directors. It was all part of the Northern Rivers’ Visual Arts Network ‘Speed Dating for Visual Artists’ project. After the success of VAN’s inaugural Speed Dating event in 2005, where over half of the participants developed a ‘meaningful’ relationship with a gallery director, VANs coordinator, Melitta Firth was inundated with requests from visual artists to repeat the exercise. Melitta and the team at Arts Northern Rivers decided Valentine’s Day would be the perfect occasion for this round of Speed Dating and invited ten local and two Sydney based gallery directors to participate as potential ‘matches’. Sydney Gallery Directors included Iain Dawson from the renowned Tim Olsen Gallery and Charles Hewitt from the Charles Hewitt Gallery in Darlinghurst. Regional Directors included Jude McBean from the Grafton Regional Gallery, Liz Buchmann from Byron Fine Art and Scott Harrower from shmdesign.

VAN’s version of speed dating is modelled on the dating phenomenon that started in the US and quickly spread throughout the world. And while finding true love may not be the real aim, VANs version certainly borrows most of the rules of speed dating. Here’s how it worked: Thirty-six participants were given four minutes to ‘sell themselves’ to six (out of 12) prospective ‘buyers’ eventuating in a list of ‘hits’ or ‘matches’ at the end of the event. In this version local visual artists armed with their portfolios presented their work to gallery directors from Sydney and the local region. Once the ‘shmooze’ was finished there was plenty of time for relaxed networking over tea and coffee (and delicious Valentine’s Day inspired cakes by the Linnaeus Chef). Visual Arts Network Coordinator Melitta Firth said, ‘While this is a really fun event the focus is very much on getting the work of local artists in front of gallery directors with the hope of securing representation. Our Valentine’s Day event has already resulted in a number of “matches” and will no doubt be repeated again.’

Free soil booklet on offer NSW DPI’s Soil Erosion Solutions program will launch a booklet of erosion case studies at the SoilCare Expo at Wollongbar Agricultural Institute on Wednesday February 28. The free 20 page colour booklet showcases soil erosion projects undertaken by landholders on the north coast in 2005-06. The booklet is designed to help all landholders by illustrating techniques used to fix

common erosion problems encountered on the north coast, and outlines their costs and benefits. The soil erosion projects featured in the booklet were undertaken by landholders with financial support from the Soil Erosion Solutions program, funded by Northern Rivers CMA and managed by NSW DPI.

Sports Roundup with John Campbell

Le-Ba surfers on a high

Lennox Head/Ballina Boardriders Club (Le-Ba) have won the Rip Curl Kirra Teams Challenge, Australasia’s most prestigious boardriding club event. It was the 23rd year of the Challenge, attracting 38 teams from all areas and and the victory was one of the strongest ever. Le-Ba scored an unprecedented 7 heat wins and a 3rd placing across their 8 surfer team, accumulating a record 30 points in

the process. It is the first time Le-Ba has taken out the event and comes on the back of neighbours Byron Bay securing the title in 2006. Le-Ba’s team included former World Junior Champion James Wood, the only rider to achieve a perfect 10, and he was well supported by Adam Melling, whose heat tally was the second highest behind Wood’s, and Jock Barnes, Marcus Aboody, Stuart Kennedy, Joe Hud-

son, Dan Emery and Mark Hernage. Club President Rod Steeles described the win as ‘the biggest ever for us. All of Australia’s top clubs come to this event and to win it is really special. I’m proud of the entire team and everybody who has supported them. This feels great!’ Pictured is Adam Melling bringing home the bacon for Le-Ba. Photo Steve Robertson.

John Campbell Prerequisites for wearing the number seven jumper in League include the gift of the gab (how else would the ref know what to do?), the ability to direct twelve other blokes around the park, the nous to call the shots and then, on the last tackle, get a decent kick away. If you top that up with the responsibility of the (C) next to your name it helps if you’re the type who can lead by example and have a bit of ticker under the jersey for when the whips are cracking. Nathan Cross passes muster on all counts. As halfback and captain, Nathan has led the Byron Bay Red Devils to a crushing 54-0 win on their road trip to Nerang in the club’s first hitout of the season. It was a morale-boosting reward for all involved after an intense preseason in which players and coaching staff have been fine-tuning a number of new combinations and, under coach Vince Nicklin, working to lift their fitness levels. It showed on the day. ‘Yeah, you could see it in everybody’s performance, especially in the second half. It makes all the difference when you can see the benefit

of all the hours you put in reflected on the scoreboard. It was terrific. And we had no injuries either,’ Nathan added, with an eye to the challenges ahead. It is a reunion for captain and coach, having played together in Byron’s last glory year, 1996, before going their

In another promising sign, Burt Zara’s reserves, made up of the local product, managed a handsome 52-16 win. Last year the Devils were lucky to field two teams. ‘Mate, it won’t be easy. There are some good sides in the comp [the NRRL, formerly Groups One and

separate ways. In Nathan’s case, he is returning to the Bay after a stint with the Tweed Heads Seagulls. ‘There are plenty of guys who’ve come from all over to be part of the resurgence that’s going on here,’ he enthused. ‘From the Queensland Cup, up from Ballina, and we’ve got more locals signed on too.’

Eighteen], but we’ll at least be ready to give it our best shot.’ The Devils’ next trial will be a derby against the Mullumbimby Giants, at Mullum, on March 17. The Blue and Golds will provide tougher opposition than the Nerang Eagles, but that is exactly what Nathan’s looking forward to.

Juzzie Smith (the Harmonica Man) will be donating the entire proceeds from his performances at the Byron Bay markets this upcoming Sunday to the Round Table for Sustainable Alternatives to the pulp mill near Launceston, the cause for which local resident Simeon Michaels is kayaking from Sydney to Hobart – see story on page 13 or check out Simeon’s website at www.paddlewithsim.com. This is your chance to help protect Tasmania’s beautiful forests. ■■■■Treasurer Peter Costello’s proposal that legislation be introduced to outlaw boycotts is totalitarian thinking at its best. It was prompted by PETA’s call for a boycott of the Australian wool industry for its practice of mulesing – cutting skin away from around the anus of sheep in order to help prevent fly strike. And what if we call for the boycott of a Japanese company which has interests in whaling? Which is the big-

DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. This is the warning put out by police following the death of 20 year old Sydney woman Annabel Catt, after taking a pill containing the rare amphetamine paramethoxyamphetamine, or PMA, apparently passed off as Ecstasy. So avoid the pills with the omega symbol. Unfortunately PMA also comes in nondescript capsules. It’s Russian Roulette out there at the moment, so play it safe.

We fully sympathise with Australia’s richest MP Malcolm Turnbull having to use his taxpayer-funded travel allowance to pay $175 a night rent for his wife Lucy’s Canberra apartment. Yeah, leave off, whingers – just how are the Turnbulls meant to get by on Malcolm’s crappy new salary? ■■■■The Scout in the Byron News has pretty much taken the running on the non-repair of the cantilevered walkway on Lighthouse Road but last Sunday Backlash got to wondering while waiting at Australia’s most easterly traffic light: just how long does it take to fix a walkway? Can we get in the guys who did the Pyramids to finish it off at a faster rate? ■■■■But once Backlash got past the traffic and down to the beach we had to admit it was a glorious sight: the old codgers on the mals rolling in on the long swell at Watego’s, the breasts of Chincogan perky in the background. It’s paradise, and well worth protecting.

■■■■The government ads urging those on ‘benefits’ to update their details with Centrelink – when shacking up with a new squeeze, for instance – are aimed at the wrong end of the market, we think. We’d like to see ads like, ‘Hello? I’m Fred Greed from the Merchant Bankers Benevolent Society. I want to let you know we’ve just shifted two squillion offshore to an account in the Bahamas.’ ■■■■If you’re going to be in Sydney on March 18, you could join in the walk across the Harbour Bridge to celebrate its 75th anniversary. Visit www.ourbridge.com.au to register. ■■■■The Prime Minister said yesterday that having Maxine McKew running against him in Bennelong would not mean having to buy a new tracksuit for his morning walks. ‘Janette wouldn’t like it,’ he said. ■Responsibility for election comment in this paper taken by David Lovejoy, Mullumbimby.
