Story & photo Eve Jeffery The population of Brunswick Heads swelled by an estimated 5,000 on the weekend for the annual Old and Gold festival, encompassing the All Town Garage Sale, the Second Hand Fair and the Inaugural Brunswick Heads Marbles Championships. Despite the threat from menacing clouds, the weather remained dry as punters scoured the town for their own piece of precious. The inaugural Marbles Championship was a huge hit with 21 highly competitive mibsters vying for prizes in three categories. The under 10 winner was James Greenwood, the winner in the under 16 group was Thea Shields and in the open division, Cawongla ring-in and avid marble collector Andrew Hanlon took away the 2008 title. We had a huge ring of spectators for the championships, said organiser Mary Ashton. I can see it being an ongoing annual competition and Bruns becoming the home of the Big Marble. It was a great event which was as simple as drawing a The Byron Social Forum this weekend offers an innovative way for Byron Shire residents to discuss and develop actions around the theme Is Another Byron Possible? The Forum invites visionary thinking from invited speakers and from audience participants on how a future Byron Shire will function to meet community needs. On Friday, after a brief spell of entertainment including a performance by Allegro Gone Troppo, Kerry O Brien will present a panel of six local speakers to talk briefly on one topic related to the theme Is Another Byron Possible? The topics are: Environment; Indigenous Issues; Business; READ ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE ring on the ground and heads down, bums up. It didn t cost anything and everyone went away with a smile on their face. The Brunswick Valley School of Dance had a successful garage sale fundraiser outside Gypsy Le Fay in Mullumbimbi Street with kids and mums performing selections from past concerts, an ongoing entertainment as backdrop to the bargain hunting. Spectators were treated to excerpts from We Will Rock You and Moulin Rouge while they hunted down elusive treasure. Forum asks the big questions Social Services; Culture; and Youth. This approach is intended to trigger forward thinking discussion and suggestions by the audience, who can either contribute to the chosen topics or identify alternative topics for further consideration, say organisers. It is hoped this will lead to lots continued on page 2 Alpha s back page 20 Coorabell students green up on eco architecture Story & photo Lou Beaumont Architects Lisa Strudwick, Mel Zugai (ZSA Zugai Strudwick Architects) and Sam Zaher (Zaher Designz) teamed up with Coorabell School to give the students hands-on experience in being young eco architects. Coorabell School principal Susie Boyle told The Echo, We have been really fortunate to have had three local architects, Lisa, Mel and Sam, donate their time to work with the students on their Living Land unit. The design and model of their environmentally sustainable houses have been incredibly motivating and rewarding for the students. Our whole parent community has been extremely impressed with and appreciative of the professional input into the children s learning. Moreover, that particular unit requires the students look at sustainable buildings and how we directly affect the environment with what and how we build, so when ZSA approached me last year it was a perfect match to the curriculum. Lisa Strudwick of ZSA said, What we brought to the students was pretty much the same program as first year architecture at university. The project started with the imperative site visit and looking at other precedents, then the students start thinking about their own green designs. In groups, they began to really think about the designs, not just rote learning. They started their floor plans and through consultations with myself, Mel and Sam, the designs evolved and eventually then became three dimensional scale models. Given examples of architecturally designed dwellings and poorly designed houses, the students were more than capable of identifying design errors or benefits with regard to orientation, internal layout, landscaping, or materials used, for example. Sam Zaher adds, It was a unique project that each student seemed to thrive in. I saw that each member of the team had their time in the sun. Each was able to take charge at different times. It was all very hands-on and I think it is for that reason they have retained the information so well. About half the class now say they want to be architects! Mel Zugai said, I was just amazed at how quickly they caught on! These students already have a good foundation of environmental knowledge which makes me think that by the time they are our age they will really be driving change in the project home market. Teacher Sam van der Toom said, It was great to see the kids working in teams so well and getting so excited continued on page 2 Coorabell School students proudly display their green home models complete with astroturf landscaping, ponds and rainwater tanks. Back, from left, teacher Sam van der Toom and mentor architects Sam Zaher, Lisa Strudwick and Mel Zugai had as much fun on the project as the students did.

The forum program is: Friday June 13, 7pm- 9.30pm: Kerry O Brien Residents oppose Suffolk land rezoning From front page to be working with real architects. Some students are more conceptual thinkers and others stronger logical thinkers, some older and others younger, so different students found their strengths in different parts of the process. Even at their young age, some students get overwhelmed by what s happening around them, to their environment specifically, so it s nice to see them find hope through learning individuals can really make a difference just in how they design their homes. Both the architects and Coorabell School are keen to continue their relationship in future years. So mutually beneficial and enjoyable was the project that they wish to encourage other schools and professionals to join forces. Social forum asks the big questions Bernie Petry, right, president of the Suffolk Park Progress Association, presents Ray Darney, Byron Shire Council s director of planning, development and environmental services, with a petition of 734 signatures opposed to the proposed rezoning of the land at Broken Head Road, Suffolk Park. A commercial development on the site is totally out of character with the village feel of Suffolk Park, and would strongly affect the quality of life of its residents, says Mr Petry. The petition procedure was simply that a sheet was available at several locations in Suffolk Park, including the shops at Clifford Street. There has been no pressure campaign to actively solicit signatures. With such a low key approach, we are confident in saying that a large majority of residents oppose the rezoning.

5 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Local News Local film tracks the food miles Local filmmaker Susie Forster has written and directed a five minute short film about food miles. Starring local teenagers Lucy Serret, Juanita Ebbs and Heiti Miller (pictured), the film depicts a growing awareness in our community of the connection between global warming and the long distances food has travelled to reach our supermarkets. Food miles is a term that describes the distance food has travelled from paddock to plate and is a way of assessing the environmental impact of the food we eat, or carbon foodprint. It s carbon emission madness, says one of the girls, referring to the trucking of food around Australia and its import from overseas. Set inside a suburban home, the soundtrack of the movie features local musicians Black Deck Rehearsal and a background rumble of trucks which brings home the immediacy of our reliance of road transport and centralised distribution networks. A collaboration with the Film Artists Co-operative, the film is a look, from a teenage perspective, at how our food choices affect the world we Byron Bay community at risk, says BU After receiving the safety and security audit conducted by NSW Police in Byron Bay earlier this year, Byron United is calling on Byron Shire Council to work with it on recommendations to ensure that the community is not placed at risk. Key recommendations of the report included better maintenance of areas in the CBD including the rapid removal of graffiti and vandalism and removal of overgrown landscaping; improved street illumination by Council in the central CBD and parks; improved illumination of business premises at night paying particular attention to underneath verandahs and at the back of businesses; and the improvement of main intersections in town which are heavily utilised by vehicular and pedestrian traffic which would minimise conflicts between the two. Byron United president Ed Ahern said the report had been forwarded to all Councillors and Council staff and that in light of the positive interaction between the group and Council staff he was genuinely hopeful that together they could make some immediate and beneficial changes. This is something that requires the whole community to work together on to ensure that safety and security is a top priority, said Mr Ahern. BU s Beautiful Byron Committee has already been urging businesses to remove graffiti. Committee member Sevegne Newton said, We are urging all businesses to report all incidents of graffiti and vandalism to the police and then get rid of them. Tagging, stickers and vandalism create a sense of fear and it is everyone s right to feel safe and welcome in our town. Our campaign is all about rejuvenating community pride and cohesion and live in. It can be viewed at and also by a YouTube food miles search: Where does the food we buy come from? business stepping forward to actively contribute to making a difference in town. Mr Ahern said, Now that we have the results of the audit we will be actively applying for state government funding for the installation of CCTV cameras. Mayor Jan Barham has said recently that these are not a priority I can only hope in light of the findings she will reconsider and support the proposal to increase lighting in town along with CCTV cameras and a dedicated safety zone. The report also said there was an increased crime risk for late night workers and at risk car park customers and that this could be reduced with improved lighting. The police report said...the onus needs to be placed on landowners to ensure the safety of their staff. Mr Ahern said Byron United would be engaging with all the town s real estate agents and landlords to ensure these necessary changes are made. Of most interest to Beautiful Byron Committee member Paul Prior was the reports findings of concealment and entrapment opportunities in our public parks with particular mention being made of Railway Park and Apex Park. He said, I am in Railway Park on a weekly basis, cleaning and planting and I am extremely concerned by the overhanging branches of the Native Hibiscus. It has now not just been identified as a public liability issue but as an entrapment area. Young people are often reading books at the back of the park and there is a children s playground nearby and this needs to be a safe area for everyone to enjoy and it quite clearly isn t.

6 6 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Local News Local students shine at DesignTECH Story & photo Lou Beaumont A number of local students are among a number of talented exhibitors in the DesignTECH exhibition. The HSC Design and Technology equivalent to ArtExpress, it showcases exemplary major design projects by outstanding young talent both from rural NSW and Sydney. The designs, as diverse as jewellery, bodyboards and advertising campaigns, are on display in Mullumbimby, the last stop of a statewide DesignTECH tour. Six local students are exhibiting alongside other finalists whose works have already been shown at the Powerhouse Museum and around the state. Gemma Warriner from Xavier Catholic College in Lennox Head used her passion for bodyboarding as her inspiration for her design. Gemma told The Echo, I was really into woodwork at school and wanted to do something along those lines until my teacher motivated me to be more creative and lateral with my thinking. So then I looked at what it was I really wanted that didn t already exist. My bodyboard has been designed specifically for females, the dimensions have been altered Gemma Warriner of Suffolk Park holds her prototype, a bodyboard she designed specifically for females, in front of Katriya McDonald s My Trashy Wedding gown made of white garbage bags. Both are part of the HSC DesignTECH exhibition. and it features hip grooves for a more comfortable fit. As part of my research I surveyed fifty female bodyboarders and found that they were all excited about the concept of having a design focused on females. Ella Mobbs from Mullumbimby High School created a range of hand-made glass and silver jewellery that was designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes hippy, gothic, punk and tribal. Each coloured glass had to be worked at different temperatures to achieve the best appearance. All of Ella s items have already been sold, a testament to her talent. Talent could also be defined as the ability to convert white plastic garbage bags into the ultimate in trashy wedding gowns. Designer Katriya McDonald from Byron Bay High School intricately cut lacework into the bags and braided and beaded them to create a totally wearable and surprisingly beautiful gown. Katriya wanted her creation to express her belief that real beauty is not materialistic or superficial but comes from within. The simplicity and professionalism of the end designs conceal the extensive research and design modifications necessary throughout the development of the projects. In addition to the final work submitted, all students were assessed on the substantial portfolios which detailed this process. The DesignTECH exhibition will be open at the Shearwater Steiner School, 349 Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby, until June Ocean Shores writer awarded ASA mentorship Ocean Shores writer Victor Marsh has won an Australian Society of Authors (ASA) mentorship for his memoir, The Boy in the Yellow Dress. Victor is one of 20 successful authors (from over 350 applicants) for the ASA mentorship program in The scheme gives them the opportunity to work closely with a mentor of his or her choice for 30 hours over a period of up to 12 months. Victor says he has already chosen his mentor. Shelly Kenigsberg is a member of the NSW Society of Editors, he said. She is freelance, but has worked for all the major publishing houses and teaches editing in Sydney. I met her at last year s Byron Writers Festival. I asked for an editor, because although there s plenty of material, it needs pruning and shaping. This is a serious push to get the MS ready for a publisher. The Boy in the Yellow Dress recently gained Victor his PhD (at the age of 62) from the University of Queensland. He is a veteran of television, having worked in Sydney, Melbourne and Los Angeles on shows as varied as Young Talent Time and Beyond Rally on Lighthouse Road After three years of disrepair to Lighthouse Road and the walkway Byron United has decided enough is enough and is organising a third anniversary rally on Saturday June 28 to ensure that the RTA, state government and Council are made aware that we are not going to take it anymore.

It s bring your own placard and meet at the Peace Pole, to the east of the Surf Club, at 11.30am for a walk to Lighthouse Road. Byron United Board Members will be conducting a tin raffle of passing pedestrians and motorists who would like to contribute a gold coin to getting it fixed. The money raised will be presented to Council. Then it will be a pleasant walk back for a sausage sizzle at Clarkes Beach. Bike groups, runners, walkers, and concerned residents are all invited to attend. During June and July 2008, Byron Shire Council will be conducting a Kerbside Clean-up Service.

7 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Local News Pugh paints conservation message Gareth goes hungry with Czechs In a change of tactics, local conservationist Dailan Pugh has taken to painting to convey the conservation message. Mr Pugh has spent decades working for conservation of this region s natural environments through research, submissions, meetings, negotiations, publicising issues, and when all else fails, protest action. Mr Pugh said, My activism developed from my desire to protect the rainforests I moved to the north coast to draw. Now, some 20 years after I became consumed by activism I am returning to my artwork and intend to use it to raise awareness about conservation issues. While I am yet to see how effective it is, it is certainly more satisfying. Mr Pugh has chosen Australia s marine environment as inspiration for his first oil paintings. The paintings depict a range of marine environments, from seals frolicking in giant kelp forests to turtles cruising the Great Barrier Reef. The wreck of Tassie III in Byron Bay and the Bream Hole near Lennox Head feature prominently. Nothing can be truer than the saying out of sight, out of mind when it is applied to our marine environment, Mr Pugh said. While we are drawn to its shores and frolic in its waves, mostly we only see the sky reflected on its surface and close our eyes tight when we go under. This blindness has engendered an appalling ignorance and lack of concern for the waters that constitute most of planet Earth. I hope that my paintings will help others to open their eyes and look beneath the waves, and then maybe to think more about what we put in it, take from it and do for it. For his marine paintings Mr Pugh won the Creative Flair Award in the 2007 Byron Underwater Festival Marine Visions Art Competition, the Environment Awareness Award in the 2008 Byron Underwater Festival Marine Visions Art Competition and came second in the Tweed Naturally Art Award in The exhibition Through the Looking Glass, An Exploration of our Marine Wonderland will be opened at 3pm Sunday June 15 at Escape Gallery, 1 Brisbane St, Murwillumbah, and run until July 23.

The protest has spread throughout Europe and solidarity hunger strikers have appeared in the US, Italy, South Korea and Australia. An online petition has garnered thousands of signatures. In Byron Bay Gareth Smith, President of Byron People for Peace and Justice, recently decided to join the hunger strike. He collected petition signatures at Byron s Farmers Market to be delivered to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Stephen Smith, Czech, Polish, US and Russian embassies in Canberra and posted online. The US has military bases in 119 countries and now they want to push toward Russia with new bases in the Czech Republic and Poland, said Gareth. At a crucial time in our planet s history our scarce resources should not be squandered on war preparations. The US should pull back its bases and shut down Pine Gap in Australia s Red Centre, which played a huge role in coordinating the illegal attack on Iraq.

8 8 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Local News Luke goes searching for warmth in a cold place Jann Gilbert Luke Reid is only 26 but already he s experienced an isolation that most of us will never comprehend. Growing up in Tasmania, with transient hippy parents from a marginalised corner of society, Luke left home at 15 and made his way to Byron and eventually Sydney where his hope of getting into film school was, unfortunately, not fulfilled. Luke continued to work in the industry, however, and when part of a film he was writing took him to the streets and lanes of Sydney on location, he discovered a very different world. Having never lived in the city before it was a whole new environment for me, says Luke. I started going out at night, in and around Newtown, photographing, I guess to place the script initially. What happened, however, was the beginning of an incredible journey for Luke through the lives and struggles of homeless people and people suffering mental illness, many of whom have lived on the streets for years. Because I had just moved to Sydney I didn t know anyone, I didn t have any friends, I had limited contact with family I was, in a sense, searching for warmth in a place that I found quite cold, says Luke. Not just in the infrastructure but in society as well. I spent nearly eight months shooting at night, including days and nights sleeping in a lane near Kings Cross. The result of Luke s search is a collection of poignant, illuminating and starkly real images and stories that speak visual volumes about the people, the work and the issue. I guess after a while what I found out was there were a lot of homeless people, especially men, sleeping in this one particular lane outside Mathew Talbot Lodge [a homeless shelter] because the shelter was full. It was 50 metres away from a place called the Trannies Walk on William Street, where all the transgender and transsexual prostitutes work, so you ve got this very bizarre place. As well as the camera, Luke began taking food down to the laneway from the restaurant he was working at, and learnt about the lives and the stories of the people he photographed. I sort of became obsessed with the whole thing and at the end of the eight months I slept down in the lane for two nights and two days, and that was pretty full-on, a lot of weird stuff happened there, says Luke. Contrary to what you may think Luke found the most difficult experience of fulltime street life was how to pass the days. It wasn t actually the nights, sleeping out there, although there was a lot of violence and stuff happening around, and drugs and things, says Luke. It was actually the daytimes. There s nowhere you can go. People won t let you into shops, you ve got no house to go to, and the only people you know are in the lanes and they only go back there at night. You really find out very quickly how lonely a city can be. And the magnitude of that isolation is so deep, it s like you re looking up at the world. Luke is hoping to organise an exhibition in Byron in the near future. He has two weeks of big-scale digital projections in Sydney coming up, followed by an exhibition this winter, and there s also been interest from the big issue. I m trying to launch my pictures in an attempt to raise awareness to a massive social issue, says Luke. Trying to create a connection between worlds so that people can see and hopefully understand. You know, how do you get a big government organisation or a funding body to create a system that makes people feel integrated and important and necessary? That s an entirely left field way of coming at a problem like this but I think that s what has to happen.

The year of The Apology is a landmark exhibition for Indigenous artists in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Artwork featured has a personal reference to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd s Apology to the Stolen Generation, on behalf of the newly elected Labor government, on February 13, and to the theme of reconciliation within Australia. The exhibition includes artwork from over 50 Indigenous artists from the Northern Rivers. Frances Belle Parker, a local artist herself, has curated this exhibition as part of her new role as Indigenous Arts Development Officer for Arts Northern Rivers. Parker says, Who would ever have thought that one little word could make such a difference? Sorry is the word we had been longing to hear for so long. Parker writes passionately about the art from this region in her exhibition essay, saying, The Indigenous art within the region should not be typified into one form or style. It is important to acknowledge the inspiration drawn from both personal, local and outside influences. The exhibition is at the Ballina Northern Rivers Community Gallery, 44 Cherry Street and will be open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10am-4pm, phone Finbarr s boys get brave and shave Four St Finbarr s students, above, Ben Butler, Josh Brown, Sandon Mancell and Dean Templeman, and their teacher Greg Flint were Brave and Shaved with help from school parents and hairdressers Helen Solway and Leah Aroyan, to raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. Study IDs humpback movements New research which investigates the migratory movements of humpback whales between Antarctica, the east coast of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and the west coast of Australia, has been presented to the International Whaling Commission s scientific committee. Three reports have been prepared by Southern Cross University s Whale Research Centre using photo-identification catalogues of humpbacks from Hervey Bay, Ballina, New Zealand, Western Australia and Antarctica. The research involved collaboration with scientists from the South Pacific Whale Research Consortium, The Centre for Whale Research, Western Australia, the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries, The International Fund for Animal Welfare and Greenpeace International. Wally Franklin, a PhD student with the Centre and co-director of The Oceania Project, said the reports confirmed the relationship between the Australian humpback whales that migrate up and down the east coast and whales sighted near New Zealand and the Balleny Islands feeding area in Antarctica. The long-term photoidentification undertaken in eastern Australia by scientists at Southern Cross University s Whale Research Centre has made it possible to investigate the destinations of humpback whales using the New Zealand migratory corridor and seen feeding in the Balleny Islands, Mr Franklin said. What s important about the finding is that it suggests the recovery of the eastern Australian humpbacks might be a factor in the recovery of the Pacific populations. Mr Franklin said while the population of humpbacks which migrated each year along the east coast of Australia was steadily increasing, that was not the case for smaller populations in the Pacific. The Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre will also be conducting the annual Cape Byron Whale Survey in July.

10 10 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Comment Vol 23 #01 June 10, 2008 Safety in the Bay The local police safety audit of Byron Bay available on the Byron United website at www. byronunited.org.au makes for interesting reading. While undertaken at the request of BU especially because of its interest in installing closed circuit television (CCTV) in the town centre, the audit also contains recommendations and opinions worthy of consideration by Council and community services. Two officers Sergeant Stuart Crawford and Senior Constable Grant Seddon carried out the audit in February and March this year. On the matter of criminal activity, their conclusions back up what any observant tourist or local would conclude. Stealing and assault are the main crimes, and they increase in the night hours. The incidence of assault and street offences related to alcohol use increases in the night hours. Malicious damage appears to be an entirely sober activity, while those engaged in break-and-enter and stealing are usually temperate in their habits or on substances undetected by police procedure. These are the problems of a tourist town under pressure and are not exclusive to Byron Bay. Tourists (and locals) get their cars broken into, and young men behave badly after too much grog. At the darker end, sexual predators target vulnerable women and career thugs in the making bash the defenceless insensible. Given the recent national revelations on pedophile rings, it is a wonder our society functions at all. The sociological conundrums associated with tourism and human nature are not necessarily the province of law enforcement. However, officers Crawford and Seddon have put a good deal of thought into their recommendations. Their Crime Prevention through Environmental Design strategies make more sense than crowding the streets with coppers. Again, the needs in this area have been well known for decades better lighting, better placement of facilities, less overgrown shrubberies in which villains can hide. As to the use of CCTV, Crawford and Seddon point out that deterrent value is dependent in part on regular monitoring of the footage and video quality which can be admitted as evidence in court. The Echo is generally liberal, if not libertine, on the issue of civil rights, but we can t get too fussed about the presence of CCTV downtown. If you re caught on camera picking your nose or pashing your girl/boyfriend, does it matter all that much? If you re trying to score drugs in Jonson Street, then you re an idiot. If you re bashing someone or smashing windows, then you deserve to be caught and punished. The implementation of safety improvements is something all parties must participate in, which BU has publicly recognised. It is a conversation which could begin at the Social Forum in Byron Bay this coming weekend.

Kevin stalks the elusive East Photo:michaelamendolia.com There s one thing about our Prime Minister he certainly is resilient. No sooner had he finished dealing with the pernickety details of FuelWatch than he was out there making a new world order. The problem is that his plans for the region may be even harder to sell than his plans for the service stations. Kevin Rudd s proposal for a Pan-Asian alliance/union/ community just which is not entirely clear is certainly a big idea, and coming from Rudd our most Asia-literate leader, it has to be taken seriously. But as both Bob Hawke and Paul Keating have pointed out in their different ways, bringing it into existence would involve fundamental changes in the way the Asian nations see both themselves and the region. First, it needs to be recognised that the idea of Asia as an entity is a purely European invention. Asia was always The East, whence came the barbarian invasions of Huns, Vandals, Tartars and Mongols and Turks. Its geographical limits varied according to circumstance. The Near East could start in the Balkans and include Greece and Albania; the Middle East took over at the end of the Mediterranean and reached to Afghanistan, with the Far East after that, although of course for genuine English xenophobes wogs started at Calais. Technically the western border of Asia was considered to run through the Ural mountains past the shores of the Caspian Sea and into the Caucasus; but in colloquial terms Asia just meant that bit of the great northern continent that wasn t Europe. When Alexander the Great set out to conquer and cross it he discovered that the reality was far more complicated, a series of states and nations with separate languages and customs; but even centuries later, long after explorers, traders and colonisers had exposed the bewilderingly varied reality, there was a tendency to see Asia as a homogenous mass. Thus Rudyard Kipling: Ship me somewhere east of Suez/ Where the best is like the worst/ And there ain t no ten commandments/ And a man can raise a thirst. Or, rather more pompously, East is East and West is West/ And never the twain shall meet/ Till earth and sky lie presently/ At God s great judgment seat. A century later still there was an echo of this in Paul Keating s notorious remark to First, it needs to be recognised that the idea of Asia as an entity is a purely European invention. by Mungo MacCallum RESTORE SIGHT FOR JUST $25 We need to perform 12,000 operations each month Donate now to help us continue Fred s work. DONATE NOW Bob Hawke that Asia was just a place you had to fly over on the way to Europe. It was perhaps this attitude which led him to label Malaysia s prime minister Mohammad Mahathir as recalcitrant when he refused to get involved with Keating s version of APEC. But herein lies the catch 22 for Rudd. The leaders to our north do not think of themselves as Asians: they hardly ever use the word. They are, first and foremost, fiercely independent nationalists. It is built into their history: with the single exception of Thailand, every Asian nation was colonised by one or more European countries and independence involved a long and bitter fight. (China, of course, was not physically colonised, but was frequently and humiliatingly invaded when it refused to toe the European line). In addition there is a tradition of internecine war between them; the states of Indochina spent centuries fighting each other and/or China. And to cap it off, there is China s unremitting loathing of Japan for the atrocities committed in World War II. Rudd notes cheerfully that France and Germany also had centuries of more or less permanent conflict, but are now partners in the European Community. He could have added that Australia and Japan were profitably reconciled little more than a decade after the war. But this is to miss the point about how jealously the former colonies guard their sovereignty. Even when they form an association such as ASEAN, it is on the strict understanding that there is to be no interference whatsoever in the internal workings of any one of them. This is why the horror of Burma has been allowed to endure for so long; a parallel exists in Africa where the so-called Organisation of African States has a strict hands-off policy regarding Zimbabwe. It is not clear just how much cooperation and giveand-take Rudd s ideas involve; initially, probably very little. But if the proposed new grouping is to be inclusive, and to have a life and an autonomy beyond mere symbolism, it will eventually have to make inroads into the national identity of those involved. There is little hope that the present generation of leaders would be prepared to allow such concessions or that their populations would find them acceptable. Nice try, Kevin: it was certainly a visionary concept, which we needed after the last few weeks. But for now it s back to FuelWatch. Another year, another bloody honours list. And this week her gracious majesty the Queen of Australia has seen fit to grant John Howard and Reg Grundy admission to the select group of Companions of the Order of Australia. In Howard s case it was hardly unexpected; indeed, an AC has emerged as a one of the automatic perks for former prime ministers. Gough Whitlam, Malcolm Fraser and Bob Hawke all sport the little gold gong on their lapels on formal occasions (and in Hawke s case, many others). Paul Keating, however, does not. When offered the seductive bauble, as Patrick White termed it when returning his after the 1975 dismissal, the Bankstown boy remained true to his democratic roots. Not only did he disapprove in principle of the meretricious award system as a hangover from the days of imperial honours, but he wasn t too keen on some of the company. In essence it was the Groucho Marx response: he didn t want to join any club that would have him as a member. The last of the true believers. I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.

11 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Letters BU, the mayor, and this paper Last week s Echo editorial was a (predictable?) disappointment! Trying to defend the indefensible is an ill-founded, irresponsible and adventurous action. No matter of what political persuasions you are, judging Council (and its main movers) honestly and based on their performance, the Barham Greens have failed us completely and as such should not be re-elected. I personally have no idea what The Echo would expect Byron United to do different from what it currently does. All BU does is be serious of their duty of looking after the vast majority of members (of which I am one), and by doing so, pretty much the vast majority of ratepayers as well as the community. Highly responsible that is. As such be careful trying to sell us extreme minority positions that lead to nowhere. In another matter: While The Echo dumped my own contribution in that matter, Stan Petroff s letter made it to print and deserves full support. Be careful how far you dare to push the envelope on continuously rubbishing Ocean Shores and its people. Ocean Shores has received buckets of bull over time, namely from Council, The Signs of the times Thank you to all our Suffolk Park neighbours and passers-by who offered their support with the frustrating graffiti problem our Clifford Street home keeps experiencing. Maybe now is a good time to remind residents to report any issues they may experience to the police line Nick Laws Suffolk Park Festival success A very big thank you to everyone who participated in the third Brunswick Valley Nature Festival (on June 1), and who helped to make this World Environment Day event such an outstanding success. Brunswick Valley Landcare is currently engaged on a three-year community education program, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust, with the theme of conserving biodiversity. The Festival is an integral part of that program. The success of the Festival this year was due in no small measure to the very high standard of the presenters, whose willingness Echo, as well as irresponsible letter writers, and people here really have had enough! Look in the bloody mirror and realise how you treated and still treat Ocean Shores! Nothing too ethically sober nor progressive about that! Rene Thalmann Ocean Shores How come something called Byron United can be so divisive? S Soper South Golden Beach Thank you for your positive words regarding the good things Byron United is doing in the community and for publishing our press release about the lack of good governance and the lack of the delivery of basic services and infrastructure to our village of Byron Bay. We feel the term The Mayor of No in the Board members experience is an accurate reflection of how our community has been treated. There is a reality for us in the Mayor s attitude towards our village which is reflected in those questions regarding Byron Youth Service, non repair of Lighthouse Road (three years), no will to beautify Byron Bay, the terrible state of our public toilets, a future town bypass, just to name a few. to share their knowledge of environmental issues gave the event its purpose, and to the various stallholders and experts who so readily donated their time. Thanks also to our sponsors who made it all possible. If nothing else, the Festival fulfils a significant need in reinforcing to the community the urgency of the environmental debate. It was terrific that so many people were prepared to turn out on a rather wet and windy Sunday when the weather was much more conducive to staying in bed! A great demonstration of the Byron community s commitment to conservation. Adrian Begg President, Brunswick Valley Landcare Inc Woolies omens Good news for all those not wanting Woolworths (WWs) in Mullumbimby. The recent mailbox drop of WWs to the householder booklet indicates WWs is feeling the growing heat of the No Woolworths campaign. Would WWs put out such a booklet of what I consider I find your comment on the Mayor s frustration of staff recalcitrance quite naive as it is so easy to blame others who can t defend themselves. We believe it is essential that the leadership of our Council makes sure the management of the staff/ Councillors relationship is a top priority. I believe the Mayor is doing some good things as you say positive community events and of course lobbying governments. I am astounded that you suggest that Byron United could be in favour of five storey buildings on the coast, which it is definitely not. Did you just make that up and why? Byron United has conducted a core values exercise which reflects a definite policy of no increase in building height in our beautiful village. If you had bothered to report on our core values exercise you would have realised what a green, dynamic business community we have. Anyone can access our core values statement by going to our website at www. byronunited.org.au. I dispute that we are blaming one Councillor for the lack of spending on services and infrastructure but again we feel there is an attitude problem coming from the hype and lies unless they were feeling vulnerable? They dare not suggest how they are going to deal with their sewage and jump the moratorium. Just as the poorly thought-out and written sewage modifications to the S96 modifications show, WWs appears to be bumbling from one option to another as community dissent grows. The building of a WWs is most certainly not a fait accompli, Mallams may not have put it all in the bag for WWs. More than likely there are contracts out there between Mallams, State Rail, WWs and property developers that have not yet been completed, contracts that may well be dependent on any number of yet to be fulfilled requirements. Roll on the No Woolworths in Mullumbimby campaign.

Please include your full name, address and phone number. Mayor. Some examples of this are: the use of Byron Bay s street dining money to speculate on land purchase in Mullumbimby, when that money should have been allocated and spent productively in Byron Bay where it was sourced; and no commitment to the spending of the centre of activity levy rates charged to the business area of Byron Bay since The Council has the funds to spend in Byron Bay but has little will to do so; and it s not the hard working staff who resist such spending. We can only hope that you take your journalistic integrity seriously and offer more balanced reporting than merely being a mouthpiece of the current powers that be. Ed Ahern President Byron United It is a nonsense to claim that Council staff cannot defend themselves. If you reread the editorial you will discover that five storey buildings was posed as a hypothetical position. Far from being a mouthpiece of the powers that be, The Echo has been critical of them on several occasions. Ed out pilot training manoeuvres on a frequent basis over recent weeks.

From my observations, the aircraft in question and others from the same operator are not breaching any CASA or Airservices rules, although the question of whether the conduct of such activities on a regular basis over a populated area constitutes good airmanship does arise. Acccordingly a diplomatic approach is being made to the operator about the matter to see if they are prepared to carry out these exercises over a less populated area. Bryce Ducker Mullumbimby Ripped off After reading Fast Buck$ s letter (Echo, May 27), I congratulate you, John, well written. I was at that Council meeting and what Fast Buck$ wrote in his letter I wanted to scream some of it and if I had it to read out I would ve, but I had to keep control ha, me? Now after what went down (read Fast s letter) concerning the Roundhouse and site, Jan Mangleson pretends to be the holy mother who s going to save Ocean Shores from itself oh yeah, I d like to see that miracle? The people of the north of Byron have been ripped off in the past and I m not talking about Lot 107 here. Paul Brecht Mullumbimby Holiday letting Ethnic cleansing by holiday letting raises its ugly head again at next Thursday s June 12 Council meeting. Council staff are desperately trying to identify a way to manage it through the LEP process. It has been printed in previous Council agendas that staff believe that holiday letting in residential living areas is unlawful. Council s own legal advice states that legal opinion is that these premises are operating in breach of their conditions of consent. Byron Bay has been identified as the town having the most unaffordable accommodation in NSW. Who picked that future for our town? While staff grapple with the fact that the majority of Councillors wish to allow holiday letting, the staff report for Thursday s meeting fails to identify Council s adopted Social Plan and fails to identify that we have an affordable housing consultant developing affordable housing provisions for the LEP. The staff proposed holiday let clauses for the LEP will totally undermine any affordable housing provisions in the LEP. Under the staff s proposals, increase in densities ostensibely to provide affordable housing will be available to be converted to holiday lets. The staff report identifies that in the abandoned Byron Bay Area Draft LEP there were both objectors and supporters of prohibition of holiday lets. The staff report fails to mention that the supporters were overwhelmingly investors from out of the Shire, and that the objectors were overwhelmingly residents that did not have a financial conflict of interest. Who is running this place? Who has the say on what Tourism strategies hijacked by vested interests I write to confirm Dailan Pugh s outline of the draft Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan (Echo, June 3) and to provide some insight into why the report has been written from the perspective of a narrow section of tourism operators. While Councillors were dazzled with arguments about the so called innovative consultative process when asked to abandon public exhibition of the plan, the real reason can be found in the Council meeting agenda of September 19, It seems there would be additional costs in assessing the input from public submissions and this was not part of the original plan negotiated with the consultants (pages 8-9). Having saved some money you would imagine that the consultants would take care to ensure that the much vaunted consultation would be adhered to. Not so. Environment and community groups were marginalised during phase one of the process by being combined into a single session where each group s input was limited to a single sentence that had to be negotiated with five other representatives. The Tourism Advisory Panel (TAP) made up of a single representative from community, environment, tourism etc was not constituted to review the findings from phase one and community representatives were not given timely access to the key documents generated during phases one and two. The Citizen s Jury was stacked with witnesses from the tourism industry (3) and consultants running the consultation process (2). There was no independent representative providing the perspective of residents or the community interest included as a witness. Despite the efforts to not hear the concerns of the community, a number of issues were raised over and over again. Notably traffic congestion, the scale of tourism and tourism events (eg festivals). Many of the groups that provided feedback to me as a member of the TAP were able to generate some excellent ideas for cycle and rail based tourism. When TAP members were finally given access to background documents, it became apparent that these ideas had been mentioned by many groups, individuals and the citizen s jury. Yet they are not mentioned in the actions and strategies set out in the draft report. The purpose of engaging consultants to develop the draft plan was to build a community consensus about how we manage tourism and to ensure (as the report states) to balance social and economic outcomes with environmental outcomes. It seems the exact opposite has occurred with the community dividing into sectional interests due to the mismanagement of the consultative process. To achieve the original objective, a major rewrite of the report is necessary, one that acknowledges community input and delivers a better balance of social and environmental outcomes. There needs to be far greater community representation on the body to be charged with spending ratepayer s money to implement the tourism plan. Finally Councillors need to ensure that the rewritten plan is put on public exhibition. Basil Cameron Community Groups Representative Tourism Advisory Panel S Morgan s letter (Echo, June 3) paints a graphic picture of what is missing from the Draft Byron Tourism Strategy. The Strategy reiterates the often expressed and much acclaimed Vision for Byron (formulated with much community consultation over the years), recognising its natural attractors, and sets out admirable objectives for promotion and marketing. However it fails to deal with the maintenance and protection of the quality of the product it sells Byron and its hinterland. Tourists come to Byron because it is different: it has unique environmental and cultural values. But if there is a perceived gap between these values and the reality, as S Morgan claims, the tourists will not come. It is pointless spending on marketing and promotions to get more tourists here if greater numbers are going to exacerbate the problems we have already. Jam them in more traffic and they won t bother driving here. Overdevelop or allow inappropriate development and you spoil the ambience. Antagonise the locals by adversely impacting on their amenity or raising their rates too high to pay for tourist infrastructure and you will have a hostile environment. Fail to have a clean and safe environment and visitors will find one elsewhere. Too many of one type of tourist group drives others away. We need management strategies to cope with the problems, but it is no good leaving such tactics to a committee dominated by people concerned with promoting their own particular sectional interests, however well-intentioned they may be. We need a broader view to achieve a balanced and sustainable industry. Because of a number of factors tourism numbers are apparently declining so it is imperative that we take positive action and not wait for endless committee meetings before any action is taken. Certainly very little has been achieved since the 2002 Strategy. We must consolidate what we have and very carefully manage the future.

13 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Letters sort of a community we live in? Well, we do! The consensus of the community is being trampled on by commercial interests. If Councillors can t get a decision on Thursday to address the current social meltdown in Byron Bay, then it will be down to the residents to vote in a next Council that dumps these odious proposed provisions, and to send a new draft of an LEP back to Council that supports and protects our community. I urge all residents, and especially those that have been abused by this unauthorised activity, to contact all Councillors and the Director of planning now, and tell them No to holiday letting in residential areas. And if we can t get some sense on Thursday be prepared to get organised to dump the staff s draft LEP, and to bring back to Council a Draft LEP that fulfils the desperate needs and aspirations of this community. Cr John Lazarus Byron Bay Rights abuse The demand for peace and justice and the affirmation of human rights has never been more pressing and I wish Associate Professor Baden Offord every success with the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference which he is convening at the Byron Bay Community and Cultural Centre July 1-4. But there is something curiously lacking in the words he uses (Echo, May 27) to promote it. How is it one can talk up a peace conference and not mention that we are a nation at war and as much so under Rudd as we were under Howard? How come the good Professor cannot name US militarism as the biggest cause of war today and the major source human rights abuses? How can one gloss over 1 million dead in Iraq since the US invasion and no end in sight? How come Guantanamo Bay is forgotten and the secret jails and renditioning flights of the US War on Terror? Thank the gods of serendipity for the Independence from America Day parade! The eighth annual Independence from America Day parade will take place on Friday July 4, the last day of Professor Offord s Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference. While the Conference will be talking about re-activating peace and human rights activism, we activists will be doing it on the streets outside. Samba Blisstas, the drumming stars of recent years, I regret to say will not be available. So back to basics, folks, this is callout for drummers. Detach from tyranny! End the US Alliance! We want to beat up a storm for peace and justice. We want to be heard by Professor Offord s Conference and by the warmongers in Canberra and Washington as well. The Parade assembles at Main Beach from 12.30pm Friday July 4. More information FourthJuly For peace. For justice. For the Earth! Graeme Dunstan Captain, Peacebus.com Election advice I see our Mayor has decided to run again, with what looks like a re-election slogan I ll educate you. Asked what she would do different in her second term she would focus more on community education regarding capacity and limitations of the council. At least she s honest I guess. What we get in our next term is a lecture on why they can t do anything. Isn t the job of the mayor to be proactive and make change for the better of the community weather you re green, red or blue, not throw your hands in the air in defeat at the injustices of the state government or the system or whatever limitations she is talking about? If those limitations include the easy things like keeping the town clean, a little bit of mowing here, a little bit of painting there, then please educate us. Got home from four weeks leave to find the road the lighthouse so overgrown it was dangerous. That was 15 weeks ago and it s still not mowed. It s nice to see community groups more passionate about the town than the council and to do the council s job and clean it up, but you can t expect them to be out slashing the sides of roads, surely. Council is always complaining about no money but there s $24m of ratepayers money sitting in the bank. If you re not motivated, Jan, and can t complete even the easy things in an appropriate time not ten years to do a $230K job on Clarkes Beach car park then move over and allow someone up to the tasks. Ratepayers should boycott rate payments until the council agrees on an acceptable standard of cleanliness. Perpetual above average increases in rates for perpetual underperformance by council? Just wrong.

I can t help but feel like the whingers are winning and this both depresses and angers me that it is becoming increasingly harder to express our selves as musicians, performers and music lovers in this area without someone complaining that it s too loud. Surely there needs to be some tolerance towards the natural noises of people, cars and entertainment in our towns and around our places of public entertainment. It is with great personal sadness and disappointment I see The Chinny pub has just shut its doors without so much as a see you later, or any ceremony!

14 14 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Letters Alarm bells? The changing face of Byron Shire Flying into Honolulu for the first time and dreaming which of the beaches ringing the island I would stay at, I was shocked to discover I could only stay at Waikiki. Visitors to Hawaii are virtually restricted to this high rise tourist ghetto. The rest of the island is left for the locals (and US Navy). However, there is a great bus service to get around the island, so I got to surf the beaches and meet the locals. What is the future in Byron Shire? Already rents are too high in the Bay, and shooting up throughout the shire. A vibrant community is made up of a wide mix of people: couples, single mothers, single fathers, students, workers, retirees, young and old, active and disabled. Where are they going to live? A lot more affordable rental continued from page 13 to comply with noise complaints, I hear it s been sold, primarily for the pokies and that there are plans to turn it into shops! Something we really don t need more of in Mullum. We need our beer garden, our watering hole and our live entertainment. It is absurd to me that Mullum has virtually no nightlife left whatsoever. In a town full of creative, eclectic individuals, it seems to me we are losing our identity bit by bit, and Woolies is only going to make it harder to maintain this cultural hubbub of wonderful diverse souls who proudly call Mullum home. And by the way what happened to our Chincogan Fiesta? I can t help feeling like we are dying a slow cultural death, and it will take nothing short of a miracle to bring us back to life. Having gathered over 1000 signatures for Coorabell, I know I am not alone in my concerns. Maybe it is accommodation is needed to maintain a community in which we desire to live. How can this be sourced? One of the discussion groups at the Byron Social Forum this weekend will be on affordable housing. If you have any ideas on what sort of housing options you want or how they can be generated, come along to the Byron Youth Activity Centre. Ian Leggo Byron Bay I was saddened to read S Morgan s observations about Byron Bay (Letters, June 3), not because she accuses us of being a bunch of hypocrites but because she has been a victim of prejudice. It is true that many locals don t want tourists in the town. Some mindless cretin has classified S Morgan as a tourist (ie someone who time to stand up together as a community and be counted. Reclaim what drew us to this unique community in the first place. Deidi Vine Mullumbimby At war With in excess of one million civilian deaths in Iraq, John Howard still sings his tired old mantra justifying the invasion. Dr Brendan Nelson ex-minister of War, who is a signatory to the Hippocratic Oath, was quoted in Monday s media that Al-Qaeda in Iraq are as good as defeated. I wonder what his evidence is? I feel both the above should be future candidates for trials on crimes against humanity. Small part of the Hippocratic Oath, quote: Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick, refraining from all wrongdoing or corruption. Peter Rae Condong should leave) without, presumably, any effort to establish what her contribution might be to the town economic or otherwise. S Morgan goes on to say that for a town whose socio-cultural identity is promoted as welcoming and alternative, we suggest that locals need to reconsider the paradox between philosophy and practice in this community. No doubt she is right and it is the nature of the yin and the yan for it to be so. Myanamar, the most Buddhist country on Earth, is run by a brutal military dictatorship and Byron Bay is rude to tourists. This situation may be highly regrettable, but it is not really all that surprising. I have always believed that those who go to church most need to and am beginning to A prophet Some weeks ago, due to the massive eruption of the Chaiten Volcano in southern Chile, the writer began examining maps of Northern China, the exact opposite side of the Earth to Chaiten, expecting that a shaking of the Earth might occur there, because of the Chaiten eruption. Several days later, earthquakes hit Northern China and still continue today. If one is a week or two ahead of the crowd that is said to be good, but if one is five or ten years or more, ahead of the crowd, then one is said to be a heretic or an idiot. So it is that many people were unable to understand the writer s last letter to the editor about the absolute danger of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The writer is suggesting that GMOs represent a possible extinction level event for humanity and also for the entire planet s ecosystem not the saving grace as advertised. think that the same may apply to those of us who came to Byron Bay looking for some sort of personal transformation. Sadly, as residents, we are too often poor exemplars of the light. Then again, S Morgan might consider taking more personal responsibility for the quality of her holiday. If you start looking for cigarette butts and hypocrisy then you will not leave disappointed. S Morgan, the best outcome is for us to offer our genuine and heartfelt apology for being inhospitable, rude and ungracious (yin) and for you to get over it (yan). I don t know about you but at least I feel better now Bill Radcliffe Byron Bay About two dozen US farmers report that Bt corn varieties caused widespread sterility in pigs or cows. More than half the offspring of rats fed GM soy died within three weeks; male rats fed GM soy showed changes in their testicles and mice had altered young sperm cells, compared to controls; cows, water buffaloes, chickens, and horses died from eating Bt corn varieties. The media and the Gene Regulator seem to merrily ignore these findings. See cfm. Peter Olson Goonengerry Wake up! The so called threat of Woollies coming to Mullum town is not really about the good farmers competing against a giant s minimal prices, nor is it about that Woollies fresh produce supports a polluting agriculture. Yes, they are to be considered, but rather it is about one stark fact: Why do Byron residents complain about progress? My family came to Byron in 1983 and stayed for 15 years. Back then it was a lovely place, quiet, for a time everybody left their cars unlocked. You could go for a surf unmolested, always find a park and meet three people you knew on the main street in one morning, probably all at the Bakery. Eventually the backpacker accommodation moved in and that started a population boom, development, and a lot of locals making a lot of money. Club Med was defeated but why bother? Surf schools and traffic were much worse! Development ruined the place in my opinion, now it s the Queensland beachside suburb they never had. My point is this: If you are one of those who benefited from We as a community have failed to offer a better alternative. Where are our popular and successful and cheap organic markets? They barely exist! I have been, and still am, an avid supporter of organic foods for the last two decades while living here in the beautiful Byron Shire. Like many here, I am considered as an alternative, creative and free thinker/artist. Yet the high price of food in Santos is unjustified. Is Santos scared of being forced to bring down their out of control prices? This is a veritable Star Wars going on and I gladly believe that this Woolies issue has slapped us residents hard on both cheeks of the face, forcing us to learn that the problem is not Woolies, it is we who are divisive, unsuccessful, greedy and jealous of the big new boys coming to town. I say, let Woolies be. You don t have to shop there. I would like to finish with one last note: Now be honest. development, you own a business, a house that has at least quadrupled in value, a restaurant that charges more than a Sydney one, or a new road going in, or a highway being moved, new competition, or infrastructure being put in place to cope with more people living there that feeds your lifestyle, I really don t think you should be whingeing about it. For all the righteousness, alternative culture and community action, what did you end up with? No highrise, well yes that s true, but you got the rest. You got the ratbags and crowds on weekenders, a riot, a man being beaten to death on the main street, traffic jams, inflated prices. Sounds like a city lifestyle to me, and that s called progress. Peter Barrett Lismore How many of you, who are against the coming of Woolies to Mullum, actually go shopping at Bi-Lo in Ocean Shores, or say Woollies in Byron Bay or in the Tweed City? Hmmmm, yes, can you put down your fists for a moment and see the great hypocrisy here staring you in the face. You shop at Bi-Lo for cheaper prices and broader range yet you mindlessly protest. There is only love or fear. You are coming out of fear and inadequacy. I think it is time to bless and honour Woolies, do better if you can, and above all, to wake up! See you in the aisles.

15 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Articles Zen and the fishtank and all that meets the eye Story & photo John Campbell I was photographed and finger printed upon arrival at Osaka. It was nothing personal. They do it to all foreigners. A couple of hairy El Al goons strip-searched me at Israel s Ben Gurion Airport once (not the best day to be wearing my primrose undies), but this was the first time I d received the petty crim treatment. The mug shot needed to be done a second time because my eyes dropped to read the sign LOOK READY as the tiny camera clicked. The whitegloved Immigration officer grinned and said not ready. First timers can never be ready for Japan. The next day was overwhelming. After checking some of the sights and negotiating the labyrinth of Shinjuku Station, a city below the vast city of Tokyo, I went looking for food. I chose a restaurant at random. The lady at the door was wearing a kimono, meaning I d entered a joint at which I d be paying at least twice as much as I would at the noodle bar on the corner, but her come hither demeanour was irresistible. Inside it was cool and gold lit, with a lot of lacquered timber and an Bride and groom enjoy their traditional wedding at the Meiji-Jingu shrine. aura of contented chopsticking. The muzak was a reed flute softly playing The Tennessee Waltz not exactly ancient Edo, but this is a city of paradoxes. Nothing (except litter) is out of place. I recited the phrase that I d memorised about being a vegetarian. The waitress smiled sympathetically, suggesting that what I d said had come out as I have just lost my toothbrush. Pretending she didn t think I was a complete dill, she turned the menu over to show me its English version, which, for one dish, had poetically transcribed autumn as dead leaf season. I passed on it and opted for number eleven, the eggplant and tofu. It was to die for. The suited salary man next to me at the counter was absorbed in his newspaper s front page story. In 2007, Tetsuya Shiroo (I recognised his pic from the Japan Times), a former member of the Yamaguchi-gumi crime syndicate, murdered Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Itoh, and now a court has ruled that he will be executed. I remain stubbornly (and offensively, I m told) ambivalent about the death penalty, but that it is still applied here was a surprise to me. Or maybe not. According to the Tokyo National Museum, Buddhism came to Japan in the seventh century (Wikipedia says the fifth, Lonely Planet the sixth). Don t get me wrong, as prophets go, Buddha s up there with the best of them, from Abraham to L Ron Hubbard. It s just that I ve always found him a little dull. Sitting on his arse all day, barely able to keep his eyes open don t you wish he d just snap out of it? Now I suspect that he might have had a point. Everything reduces to nothing. It s an inescapable truth. I reckon that the Japanese are onto it too, and that it underpins their culture, allowing all of their daily contradictions to co-exist the stiff formality with the gonzo ratbaggery, the simplicity of traditional design with the clutter of fevered 24/7 consumerism, the brutality of whaling with the reverence for nature, the calm with the frenzy. At a holy place like the Meiji- Jingu shrine, schoolgirls paraded around in the briefest of tunics, with Irma La Douce black stockings stopping saucily above their knees, while on the other side of the courtyard a wedding party was devoutly making its way to the inner sanctum of the shrine, the bride and groom in centuries old attire, led by men draped in the sort of serious robes bestowed on the keyholders by all religions. Afterwards I found my way to a cinema and, with a packed house, endured the latest Narnia flick. But again there was the order and the expectation to do the right thing. At the film s conclusion, teenagers politely carried their empty popcorn and drinks cups on trays out of the cinema. Can you imagine that happening in Byron? Back in the restaurant, I noticed a glass tank crammed with a dozen fish bumping into each other. Up in the corner was a live octopus squashed into a red net, like those bags of onions you buy at the supermarket. Its big sad eye blinked as it looked around, trying no doubt to make sense of its confined world. Made me feel real bad. The chef strolled over, got on a stool, netted a couple of the fish and sliced them up in front of us as they thrashed about on the bench. I finished my beer and moped out. Twenty metres down the street and bugged by that trussed-up octopus, the darling girl in the kimono came running after me. She bowed and presented me with a complimentary set of chopsticks. Arigato I said. I think I got it right.

17 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Articles Protecting the Ashaninka culture Mac Nicolson In the beginning of June my partner Cecilia, who is Brazilian, and our young son, Nicolau, and I were fortunate enough to be invited to visit the Ashaninka Indians in a remote corner of Acre State in Brazil close to the Peruvian frontier. The invitation came originally to us last year from an old friend of Cecilia s, João Fortes, who has worked closely with both the Indigenous peoples and the rubber tappers (the Seringueiros) of Acre. The Ashaninkas, the majority of whose tribes live on the Peruvian side of the border, have had a long history of having to fight for their lands. They are a people proud of their culture and driven by a strong motivation for independence and freedom. The Ashaninkas are the largest indigenous group within the Peruvian Amazon, numbering over 50,000. They are a complex people who have an admirable quality of being able to integrate their traditional culture and customs with ideas and practices of the white man according to their needs. The recent photographs that appeared worldwide of a supposedly lost Amazonian tribe in Acre were likely a neighbouring tribe (the Amahuaka) and past enemies of the Ashaninkas, considered to be bravios (wild). The Ashaninkas of the river Amonia in Brazil had little contact with rubber tappers in their area as it was not a major source of rubber trees, but were decimated by the intrusion of loggers and alcohol as payment for their cooperation from the mid seventies on. In 1992 they were able to have their land borders officially recognised and one of the five sons of the Chief attended the Global Environmental Conference in Rio. From 1992 to 1999 they refused all contact with whites ADVERTISEMENT while they reclaimed their sense of community and culture. Now, all of their tribe have returned to their villages and not one has left in ten years. They are self sufficient through traditional sources of hunting and fishing and crops such as tarot and mandioca, bananas and other fruits. To this they have added fish farming and are, in addition, breeding the local endangered turtles for replenishment in the river. They have eliminated alcohol and reinvigorated their traditional ceremonies based on ayauaska and other substances derived from local plants. They are pretty bloody happy. It is the most functional self sufficient community I have ever witnessed. It is a bright shining light in a world bereft of it. What they do need is material support to carry out their work within the region as a whole as they have no source of monetary income aside from the usual beadwork, pictured, and woodcraft, although they are seeking funding to establish a pottery.

For information about community care programs and services in your local region call Freecall* For information on respite services call Freecall* Or, visit your local Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre shopfront * Calls from mobile phones are charged at applicable rates Carelink 2008 June With the financial help of friends in Rio De Janeiro, the Ashaninkas of the Amonia s established a Learning Centre called Yoreka Ãtame (wisdom of the forest) opposite the town of Thaumaturgo three hours downstream of their village. The centre s mission is to reinvigorate the traditional cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and teach, in addition, sustainable living and forestry practices including the reafforestation of previously logged and cleared lands. Yoreka Ãtame is currently relying on donations and voluntary carbon credits being sold to supportive business. João Fortes asked if we could help fund a larger powerboat for them as one of their difficulties is organising transport for moving both visitors and locals between Yoreka Ãtame and the villages. River transport is predominantly by Day/ Time motorised canoe, which has its limitations in terms of efficiency. My idea is to find a relatively manageable group of donors who would contribute upfront a donation of $3,000 each for the boat and perhaps a smaller but regular ongoing commitment for the funding of Yoreka Ãtame. In return they would be welcome to visit and stay with the Ashaninkas which, I can tell you, is well worth it. They are not interested in conventional tourism but are very open to cultural exchange with the right sort of people they have a lot to offer. It is only possible to visit them with an invitation. If you d like to be involved, you can contact me on mac@bluehouse.name. To get there you have to fly to Rio Branco, the capital of Acre State, take another flight to Cruzeiro Do Sul (there is no all weather road yet) and then either a one hour small plane flight or eight hour boat trip to Thaumaturgo. Even though you are well and truly in the deep tributaries of the Amazon, there are still the scars of scattered settlements along the river but beyond a few hundred metres inland it is forest as far as the eye can see even from the height of a plane. Most of the large scale illegal logging has been stopped on the Brazilian side within Acre but the Peruvians are still plundering the Ashaninka lands along the frontier in places. The Ashaninkas, of course have future issues on the horizon, the darkest of which is the discovery of oil deposits on their land. The faster all of the people there are able to regain or retain their self sufficiency and culture the less attractive will be the bribes of the oil industry and the loggers.

The forum is being organised by the University s Centre for Regional Climate Change Studies and the School of Environmental Science and Management, and follows on from a forum held in Organiser Associate Professor Graham Jones said while progress had been made in some areas since the initial forum, there were many challenges facing the mid north and north coast regions. We can expect the sea level to rise by at least one metre over the next 90 years and in some places that will have quite a substantial impact. If there s a one-metre rise, this can produce inundation of about 100 metres, Professor Jones said. This has major implications for planning of coastal developments. Professor Jones said the Climate Change Forum, titled Adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in the Northern Rivers NSW region, was open to all members of the community as well as local government representatives, builders, developers, planners and people in the agricultural and horticultural industries. People from the Coffs Harbour region north to the Queensland border are being invited to attend. Speakers include Dr John Hunter, from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre at the University of Tasmania, who will provide an overview of the impact of sea level rise on the northern NSW coastline. Professor Rodger Tomlinson, from Griffith University s National Centre for Climate Change Adaptation, who will talk about coastal erosion and the coastal planning that will be required to deal with climate change over the next century. We will also have updates on the progress being made to achieve sustainable water resources, agriculture and horticulture in our region and how we need to achieve sustainable settlements. Recent progress on climaterelated issues at the local government level will also be covered, Professor Jones said. The first day of the forum will be open to all members of the community. On the second day workshops will be open to invited professionals and community leaders to look at the priorities for the region for the next three years. A trade display will also be included as part of the forum, where industries can highlight climate adaptation and mitigation innovations. Anyone interested in participating in the Climate Change Forum should contact the Centre for Regional Climate Change Studies on , graham. jones@scu.edu.au or visit the website au/schools/esm. The forum will be held at the Whitebrook Theatre, Lismore campus, on July 3 and 4.

18 18 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Byron Bay Writers Festival When belief becomes institutionalised People Like Us: How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West, by Waleed Aly (Picador Australia RRP $32.95) Reviewed by Mungo MacCallum To a rational human being, any belief in supernatural beings is simply silly. In particular, the idea of a just and merciful interventionist god was conclusively disproved the first time a child died in pain. It follows that religion, and especially the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, should not be taken seriously. But it cannot be denied that when they attract a lot of believers, become institutionalised and acquire political power and influence, the consequences become very serious indeed. Sometimes they can even appear beneficial, at least for some of their followers some of the time. But in the long haul, they have been responsible for some of the most tragic and unnecessary disasters in human history. Thus it behoves men and women of goodwill, whether believers or not, to try and understand why this has been so and to prevent it from happening again. Each year, the Northern Rivers Writers Centre and the Byron Bay Writers Festival swoops on the best new Australian films and launches preview screenings, followed by Q&A with a principal from the production. Last year s choices Waleed Aly is both a man of goodwill and a devout Moslem, a combination which the more bigoted would say is impossible in the context of contemporary Australia. It is precisely this kind of ignorant intolerance which has prompted his book, a discussion of the misunderstandings which have led to the current climate of hostility on both sides of this very artificial fence. Aly s central thesis is that each side sees the solution as the other changing to become more in tune with their own worldview to become, in effect, people like us. Moslems want Western infidels to accept Islamic law, although after centuries of dispute there is still no consensus about exactly what constitutes it. The Westerners want Moslems to subscribe to Australian values, again without being able to define exactly what these are. Clearly, the only way out of this impasse is more understanding and tolerance from both sides, which is what Aly seeks to provide. In doing so he demolishes a lot of Western conventional wisdom, one tenet of which is that good Moslems are moderate, modern and secular. Moderate is the opposite of extreme, and since terrorists are by definition Romulus, My Father and Home Song Stories received AFI awards and nominations. Will it be the same for Unfinished Sky? Written and directed by Peter Duncan (Children of the Revolution, Hell has Harbour Views, Passion), Unfinished Scholar and author Waleed Aly. extreme, it follows that moderates won t be terrorists, QED. But moderate is a political term, not a religious one. Being a moderate Moslem is like being half-pregnant; either you are a believer or you re not. So scratch that one as unhelpful. As for modern well, al Qa ida may talk about a Sky was voted best film at Brisbane International Film Festival 2007, and was Official Selection at both the Toronto International Film Fest 2007 and Pusan International Film Festival 07. Continuing its success on the international festival circuit, Unfinished Sky had its European premiere in the Time and Tide section of the 37th Rotterdam International Film Festival in January. Starring William McInnes (Look Both Ways, Kokoda, Sea Change) and leading Dutch actress Monic Hendrickx, Unfinished Sky is a powerful story of a love that grows between two people despite their resistance. With a thriller twist, this is a complex story of emotions, trust and betrayal, and of strength drawn from the land. Peter has written a beautiful script, said producer Cathy Overett. He s embodied universal themes of rural decline and illegal immigration in our two heroes. And he s woven a poetic love story around a thriller element that will resonate with audiences around the world. With William and Monic in the leads, the film promises to largely mythical past, but it functions as a thoroughly modern organisation embracing the latest technology and closely resembles other 20th century totalitarian movements such as Nazism and Bolshevism. Is this what we really want? And secular is as secular does. Iraq was a secular be positively bristling with sensuality and suspense. Peter Duncan created this unique Australian romantic drama about the nature of loss and the language of love, set against the harsh beauty of the rural Australian landscape, says the writersfest publicity. It s about finding the courage to Moslem state; Indonesia and Turkey still are. Iran and Saudi Arabia are not, but it s still a matter of degree. Even in secular Australia the state supports church schools and charities and parliament opens each day with a Christian prayer. Furthermore we all have belief systems, whether we are fundamentalists or atheists. Aly agrees with Tony Abbott that it is silly to imagine we will abandon them if we enter politics. So forget secular. What, then, should the West be looking for? Aly takes the historical perspective. In the West, Christianity, having spread through Europe, entered the dark ages, and the terrorism of the crusades and Inquisition. With the fall of the Holy Roman Empire came the Renaissance and a marked decrease in religious political power; the Reformation effectively finished it off, and led to the Enlightenment. But for Islam, it was pretty much the other way around: the Enlightenment, the golden age of Moslem art and science, came first. Then in the 18th century Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab led a Reformation, resulting in the fundamentalist takeover of Saudi Arabia. It could be argued that Islam is now in its own dark ages, awaiting not another Reformation Writersfest scores sneak preview screening of new film trust again, the risks we take to protect those close to us and the devastating consequences of small town secrets. He has created a compelling love story which also makes a powerful political statement. Discover why Australian film festival audiences have voted Unfinished Sky an but a Renaissance. Those like Salman Rushdie who argue for Reformation forget its consequences: the Dutch Reformed Church which presided over apartheid in South Africa is a child of the Christian Reformation, and the Ku Klux Klan is its grandchild. Islam is now seen by the West as a monolithic force embodying the world s evils from suicide bombing (an invention of the Hindu Tamil Tigers) to so-called honour killings of women (practised by tribes of all religious persuasions throughout the Middle East and also by Sicilian and other Christians). In fact, of course, there are as many brands of Islam as there are nationalities: the Moslems of Sudan have little in common with their co-religionists in Uzbekistan or Indonesia. And within each of these countries there is just as much variation as there is among the Christians of any Western nation, including Australia. Viewed from this perspective, each side can recognise the obvious: the other is already made up of people like us, if only we could look with clear and unbiased eyes. Waled Aly does, and his book is a refreshing contribution to these troubled times. Actors Monic Hendrickx and William McInnes engage in a slow waltz in Unfinished Sky. audience favourite at every festival in which it has screened.

19 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Articles Students have sustainability SUSSed Story & photo Jann Gilbert Students from local north coast schools came up with some bright ideas for making and keeping their schools sustainable at the recent Students Using Sustainable Strategies (SUSS) forum. Now in its second year the forum mustered 120 students from 21 schools, and their teachers, and teamed them with representatives from National Parks & Wildlife, the North East Waste Forum, Rous Water, Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, Dorroughby Environment Education Centre and Department of Primary Industries. The forum is designed to help students develop a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) and associated action plans to make schools more environmentally friendly, and encourage greater environmental content in the school curriculum. It also followed Baden Offord Two remarkable young people from the Middle East, Mutassim Abu El Hawa who is Muslim and Ilana Meallem who is Jewish, will be special speakers during the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference to be held in Byron July 1-4. Both work for The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, which is a regional centre for environmental leadership situated on Kibbutz Ketura in Israel s Southern Arava Valley a desert in the Syrio-African rift near the Jordanian and Egyptian borders and the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat. By encouraging environmental cooperation between peoples, the Arava Institute works towards peace and sustainable development on a regional and global scale. The Institute is home to academic programs, research and public involvement. Mutassim is from East Jerusalem, where he had little positive contact with Israelis. His family, observant Muslims, were more than a little surprised when his mother suggested he continue his environmental studies at the Arava Institute; a place where he would learn to live and work with Israelis. Says Mutassim, You can imagine my surprise when I found I would be sharing a room with an Israeli Jew. He now treasures his Arava experiences and is today applying them in his work with the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, focusing Students gather for the big finale at the recent SUSS forum. up on the SEMP and action plans from last year. Throughout the two-day forum students participated in a variety of workshops including learning to audit their schools for waste management, water usage, energy usage and biodiversity. They also explored Aboriginal cultural heritage, active transport, efficient outdoor water use, creating a sustainable on water rights issues and development of urban public gardens. Ilana grew up in London, in a Sephardic family that escaped from Egypt. She saw her brother victimised by anti-semites. In Israel she served in the Israeli Air Force, then took a degree in marine biology. The Arava Institute came to her from a conversation with a stranger she d met on vacation. The rest, she says, is history. Through an Arava Institute field trip, I learned about the extremely degrading living conditions of Israeli Bedouin tribes. It was my life-changing moment. Since graduating, Ilana has learned Arabic, lived with the Bedouin, and is currently working on a major school garden, composting, ecological foot printing and catchment management. Tiare Broadhead, a Year 10 student from Ballina High School who was at the forum for the second year and was also a student representative on the Organising Committee for 2008 says she s really proud to be involved in the forum. It s a great experience and bio-gas energy-generating program that will greatly benefit those Bedouins lives. Such is the renown of her work that, along with fellow Arava Institute graduate, Palestinian Mazen Zoabi, she was invited to the prestigious annual meeting of Nobel Laureates in Petra, Jordan. There, they were charged by Jordan s King Abdullah and author/activist Elie Wiesel to establish the region s first Middle East Youth Forum. Recently, Illana and Mutassim featured together on CNN speaking on their shared work and concerns for the betterment of the world. At the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference, these two inspiring young peace activists and environmentalists will speak together on Shared Concerns in a Region of Conflict Environmental Cooperation as a Tool for Building Peace. Madeleine Faught, who is the local Community Conference Committee Member, said she welcomes the unique and innovative opportunities of the Activating Human Rights and Peace Conference in Byron Shire. She said, Efforts are being made to secure sponsorship funding from Byron Shire Council for high school student representation at the conference so that our youth can learn, embrace, and hopefully become passionate initiators of human rights now and in the future, just like Mutassim and Illana. Conference registration is you re doing something really positive for the environment, says Tiare. I attended last year, and this year I ve also run some workshops. I hope to be here next year as well. Through the workshops, students and teachers learnt how to develop a SEMP and associated action plans to be carried out over the following year. In order to available at research/cpsj/human_rights/ index.html or call See Ilana and Mutassim s CNN interview at facilitate the process, schools are grouped into regions to enable them to assist one another. Action plans developed by the students included introducing paper recycling, obtaining funding for the installation of rain water tanks or more energy efficient appliances, and developing a school vegie plot. Not wanting to forget its own carbon footprint organisers developed a Climate Friendly Proposal for SUSS to offset the event s emissions. SUSS Forum Coordinator Karen Rudkin included a tree planting session to offset the 486kg of greenhouse gases created by transport emissions alone. Although it takes approximately six trees to offset a ton of greenhouse gas emissions students planted a few more, just for good measure. Other total calculated emissions for the forum were offset by financial contributions to sustainable projects Working towards peace and sustainable development Conference speaker Ilana Meallem of the Arava Institute. Dr Baden Offord is Associate Professor in Cultural Studies and Co-Director of to cut greenhouse gases, such as wind farms in India and China. The whole experience of the forum is about developing practical actions to improve environmental management and sustainability, says Karen. It gives students real ways to have an impact and it means their thinking, and talking, about sustainability, and encouraging others to do so. The forum was sponsored in part and hosted by Linnaeus Estate at Broken Head, a 280-acre, Land for Wildlife private trust that was set up to protect the land for 150 years. Linnaeus also takes part in the energy audits, and sets action plans for its own environmental management and sustainability.

No doubt the name will stir some recollection, and if I say Machine Gun Fellatio, you ll put two and two together and come up with a foursome. Which I suppose would be in keeping with the whole MGF feel. Pinky was the front man of the morally corrupt electro pop outfit. He claims it nearly killed him. I had a few dark nights of the soul when I left the band. I finished that band and wanted straight away to have a band that was the exact opposite. Everything had to be organic and played with no bullshit, and no tricks, it was just me on stage in a plain white light in a wife beater, and they thought that was even weirder. Oh, he s being ironic! But this is me then I released an EP which had a few nice moments it was guitar based rock organically recorded live in a couple of weeks, totally different from MGF. But every review said this is no different from MGF. I ended up in a looney bin wanting to kill myself. Leaving MGF was an ordeal for Pinky. I was unhappy for a long time, it took me three years to quit, it was like having a dysfunctional relationship with eight people, and having six acrimonious divorces. I took the roadie with me. But distance makes the heart grow blonder, and in time Pinky realised it was better to let go. I am going to move offshore and make a come back in someone else s body and relaunch myself as another person, I will fake my own musical death, although some people say I have already done that... and dispute that it s fake. I have bigger things to be bitter about than music. Pinky is a relentless tale of text. Where other musicians say nah, it s good. Just went into the studio and put down some tracks, he is the king of anarchic disclosure. Was there a defining moment that gave some clarity? I have an epiphany every few years, The Man they call Pinky I don t know there was a point I really thought I was carking it I lost 20 kilos in three weeks, and everyone was convinced that I had an out of control heroin habit. I had a stomach complaint. Pinky loves Wean. Why? Because they have a quiet genius that he finds inspirational. I finally got to see Wean, my favourite band in the history of man, it blew my fucking brains, a band with bugger all airplay that just had to just build through word of mouth and % of the population will never know who the fuck they are. I suggested that he may be suffering from the same secret condition. When you are secret it doesn t feel very fun, right now I am the best kept secret in Australian music, no one knows that I exist, it s heartbreaking every week someone comes up into me in the street and says I really love MGF and I wish you were playing music again, I say no you weren t, and I feel like stabbing them in the eye! So why music? Why get out and do it again? It s a drug I m not happy unless I do it. I was never any different. At school I was the kid scribbling weird shit in a book somewhere I was entranced with Michael Dransfield, an Australian poet who died in his 20s and a lot of his poems were about wanting to be a poet in a world where poetry was irrelevant, and I would read his poems as a 16 year old and thought I fuck won t become a poet reading a poet about being not being able to be a poet. Pinky is not a fan of Sydney. He describes it as an obsession with wealth. He loathes Melbourne even more. It s an obsession with being cool. Any gig in Melbourne you can see them looking at your shoes. So where would Mr Beecroft reside, if he had the choice? I would live in Paris in a fucking giant apartment I would like to live where there are 50 billion people and all of them really really like me. I don t think that will happen any time soon and I d fuck it up way. So is he a saboteur? It s a French term afterall. When I was in Year 9 I got caned by a teacher on the first day who said to me that I can tell by looking at you that you are going to be a pain in the arse. Everyone always thinks I am taking the piss. People say I can t get a straight answer, can you just give me a straight answer? I am giving a straight answer. It s the curse of a cheeky face. If I was one of those Indiana Jones movies, it would be Indiana Jones and The Curse of the Cheeky Face. Pinky is a boy who spent a good deal of time being sent outside. I would put my hand up to ask a question that I really wanted to know and they would say get out. I am a very very curious person. People have asked me a lot of questions over the years and I don t get stroppy and send them outside... if I had power, that s what I d do. I d be a great Prime Minister. Right my office now. I d have a queue of six million people outside my office. So Pinky s latest revelation? I started to discover that life s hard and then you don t die. I simply didn t expect to live to this stage, I am in a state of constant surprise I am condemned to walk this earth as an old man. Condemned to live!

22 22 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Colour/Cut $99 (Full head of foils/creative colour extra $10) Level 1, 89 Jonson Street, Byron Bay Colour/Cut $99 (Full head of foils/creative colour extra $10) The Soapbox Mandy Nolan A few weeks back I was showing my boobs on page two. For a woman as liberal about nudity as myself I must admit that it was a little embarrassing. For an entire week I was conscious about every glance, every snicker and was constantly greeted with Oh, didn t recognise you with your clothes on. It s rather uncomfortable having a serious motherly conversation with a parent in the school yard knowing that inside The Echo they are holding... is my naked body. My kids got to experience more JUMPING JACK FLASH of the maternal shame that they are becoming accustomed to. My eldest daughter has started a new school, and has made me promise not to turn up as she is intending to keep her identity a secret. If my mother posed naked in the local paper when I was a kid I would have needed trauma counselling. (I have put some money aside in a trust account for their future therapy.) Of course it was all in the name of art. Having been an artist model throughout university and being a part time painter myself, being nude for a bunch of artists is not uncomfortable. I was unprepared for the fact that they all had cameras, and am hoping that images have been dealt with appropriately, ie. posted on Facebook or MySpace. During the session I asked for any pose requests. I can recline, turn, bend... do all the things we tend to do in the nude. One young artist was swift to reply: Can you do a starjump? I was gobsmacked. A starjump? That would be the move where one leaps in the air and splits the arms and the legs. It s not a dignified move clothed. It s downright pornographic when you re naked. At a moment in time one is mid air with legs apart. That s a money shot. I refused. But she insisted. She might as well have requested to see my labia. I was insistent. It s a bit of a boob flinger as well. It s an eighties move from the time of lycra g-strings, leg warmers and headbands. I am unsure what muscles the starjump actually tones. It is only rivalled in its ridiculousness by the upside down invisible bike riding move. Apart from the sheer pleasure of holding your arse in an inverted position, air cycling doesn t really do much for one s physique. I have a constitutional inability to say NO. I knew if she asked one more time I d cave. That I d leap naked and flapping into the air like a giant featherless gull gobbing for a chip. She asked. I did it. A slow motion nude starjump. The cameras flashed. I flashed. I felt cheap. But I have to say, when it came to the portrait viewing, the likeness was remarkable. Tonight when you are alone I want you to take off all your clothes and stand in front of the mirror. Then I want you to do a starjump.

Level 1, 89 Jonson Street, Byron Bay Full Head $650 Half Head $400 BeatsNbops with Jackie Onassid SWEAT IT OUT WITH AJAX Ajax got voted Australian No. 1 DJ in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 by various magazines and dance industry connoisseurs and hailed the DJ to watch out for in 2008 by DJ Magazine. He has remixed Princess Superstar, Midnight Juggernauts, The Emergency, Naïve New Beaters and the Valentinos. Ajax s own label launched officially in February 2008 signing acts like Gameboy Gamegirl, Act Yo Age, Hey Now, Redial and Miami Horror who is joining Ajax on his tour. Sweat It Out is a feel good double CD with a separate mix each by Ajax and Miami Horror. Disco, Electro, Rave, Breaks, Brazilian rhythms and rhymes, House, Soul, Funk, 80s, Rap and Indie Pop Rock, all is in the mix. Miami Horror s mix pushes the fun button again and both CDs are mixed by creative hands featuring plenty of their own work and acts from the Sweat It Out label. The CD double-pack is original in its song choice and overall artistry including the cover s graphic design. This release is about good times, and Sweat It Out turns out to be an ace listen, fastpaced and energetic with unexpected twists and turns. No doubt it will get priority play at any house party where the roof comes down and debauchery is on the menu. Amongst the widely known acts and tracks, there are also underground favorites such as Boy s Noize, Riot in Belgium, Diplo, Cut Copy, Nine Lives, Chromeo, Bagraiders, Crookers, Larry Tee and the label s own Act Yo Age and Gameboy/ Gamegirl. Q: What s the motivation behind this latest mix CD of yours and Miami Horror? A: It s basically to showcase the label, like a Sweat It Out mega mix but we don t have enough dance floor bombs yet so with this first mix it s more just a rocking party mix CD featuring some stuff off the label and our favorite jams. Q: How would you describe Miami Horror? A: He knows I think he s a weirdo, but he knows I love him just the same. Ben is a perfectionist, and in this blog world where it s all pats on backs and stroking each others egos he is a breath of fresh air. He is blunt and very honest Q: What does No. 1 DJ mean to you? A: Nothing. I am grateful for those people who put me there... it was very nice of them and I appreciate their support so much... but to be honest I don t like the title. Dj-ing isn t about competition and I ain t either. Sooner I lose it the better. Q: What should people put into their first aid kit when getting ready for your show at LaLa Land? A: A towel, silly INTRODUCING BANDTAG A Bandtag is like a digital business card that the musicians sell directly to their fans at gigs. The band tags carry a code which will enable the user to download the tracks or purchase something physical and collectible. Check it out at Seeming as this is a hot topic with musicians since the digital revolution (check out the repeat of SBS program Insight) I think this is perhaps a first positive step to enable fans without credit cards to purchase directly off the artist. The artist in turn will get a chance to connect personally and perhaps make it more attractive for fans to actually buy their material rather than downloading indiscriminately for free and without considering the financial support most artists need to pursue composing new material. FRIDAY UNDERGROUND Winsome Hotel on Friday. Get lucky with DJs Elscorcho and Lady K.

25 Byron Shire Echo June STARS WITH LILITH FRIENDLY AND GREGARIOUS STARS FOR SOCIALIZING THIS WEEK UNTIL THIS YEAR S FRIDAY 13TH LIVES UP TO ITS EVIL REP. WITH FREAK ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN AND MISCALCULATIONS EASILY MADE, KNOCKING THINGS OVER, BUMPING INTO STUFF OR TRIPPING UP IS YOUR CUE TO TAKE CARE ARIES: Yes, you re confident, charismatic and convincing, but this week won t be controlled or pinned down it s you who ll have to adapt. So let others have their say, stay open to suggestion, be prepared to change your perspective and remember your choice of language is important. TAURUS: This week your presentation s impressive and your organizing skills awesome, but be aware when other peoples attractive or persuasive agendas aren t necessarily in your best interests. A time to listen, learn, and let new ideas take you places you might not otherwise go. GEMINI: Far from the madding crowd is unquestionably this frenzied week s most peaceful address, but not one you effervescent social butterflies will be attracted to. While you re dazzling the populace with wit and wild ideas, remember late week clashes will need sensitive handling. CANCER: If you think everyone s out of touch with their feelings right now, you re not wrong but they re rolling with the punches just like you are. Seriously consider this week what changes you re prepared to make to bring you in synch with these changing times. LEO: Play host/hostess with the most/mostess to the hilt this week but during end of the week eruptions and upheavals relationships could ignite, explode or go into a major wobble. It s respectfully recommended that your dynamic Majesty listens at least as much as you speak VIRGO: Be clear, slow down, relax, and don t imagine difficulties where they don t exist this week. While others might be unreliable or high maintenance, they re also lots of laughs so enjoy at least some of this week s entertainment a little healthy frivolity s a good immune booster. LIBRA: A saucy week of wining, dining and brainstorming new ideas. An educational time too, when staying open to feedback pays off. While gossip s a given, you needn t give it credence though others probably will, launching you into all manner of diplomatic and peace keeping missions. SCORPIO: If people are irritatingly flippant and superficial this week, at least that s better than being surrounded by a pack of whingers though if they think you ll tone down your trademark intensity to fit their frivolity they ve got another think coming. As if Friday 13th can work for you. SAGITTARIUS: This week s ideas have legs, but don t let them run away with you. Some are definitely worth taking to the next level but honey, what s the rush? While it mightn t be your style to take one measured, slow, steady step at a time, right now it s advisable. CAPRICORN: This week suggests you broaden your viewpoint, consider alternative strategies, update your technology and improve personal communications. And if people aren t taking you seriously, join them it s an easy week to lighten up and enjoy some psychic weight loss. AQUARIUS: This week s trio of planets in the sign of new ideas loosens a seized cog in your thinking and suddenly there s a lot more options than you thought you had. Exciting ones, too. But try not to talk the talk before you re ready to walk the walk PISCES: Theoretically this is one of the year s most eloquent, stimulating and entertaining weeks. Definitely not for sitting alone in your room so go join the cabaret. Or invite it over to your place where you can be as flirtatious, artistic and outrageous as you please. Sudoku Puzzle To solve a Sudoku puzzle you must place every number from 1 to 9 in: Each of the nine vertical columns Each of the nine horizontal rows Each of the nine 3x3 boxes No number can occur more than once in any row, column or box.

Celebrating the misfortunes of others is not considered good form, but Vladimir Kramnik could be forgiven for enjoying a few chuckles this week as he watched his world title rival Viswanathan Anand suffer the humiliation of the second fastest defeat in the Indian s long career. ljhooker.com nobody does it better CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services, Mon 7-10pm; Mullum Poinciana Café, Sat 2-5pm In 1988, when he was already World Junior Champion, been predetermined.

What Anand could not have known was that the Miles- Christiansen game had been a pre-arranged draw, where neither player cared much what they played since the result had fourth and final encounter. Anand had lost the first game of the match but bounced back in the second game and seemingly had momentum on his side. Then, after a hard-fought draw in the third game, came the following shocker Would you like to have your home sold by the best in the business? Meet our sales team at L.J.Hooker Byron Bay.

26 26 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Television Guide 1. Arachnophobe s nightmare: The Incredible Shrinking Man (ABC1, Thursday night 12.25am), an early SFX movie that still exerts a shuddery fascination. 2. Mel Gibson, in the role of a clergyman, explains to his son how a silver foil helmet prevents aliens listening in to your thoughts. Not a home movie but M Night Shyamalan s lugubrious thriller Signs (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm). 3. Elizabeth Taylor is suitably torrid in Tennessee Williams s Suddenly Last Summer (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm), weird, elliptic, beautifully written and totally dominated by Katharine Hepburn s icy matriarch.

29 Byron Shire Echo June CINE MA THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN This is nowhere near as good as its prequel, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe not that that was a classic either. Edmund, Susan, Peter and the intuitive Lucy are back, albeit with the two eldest a tad long in the tooth for the fairytale indeed, Susan looks primed to produce a litter of full cream Tories in Tunbridge Wells any day soon. Like Harry, Ron and Hermione (and Paddington Bear), their new adventure kicks off at a London railway station, in this case The Strand, which is probably the only one left with the lovely old tiles needed to establish the early post-war era in which our heroes are living. From there they are whooshed away into the parallel world of Narnia, where generations have passed in the Earthly year that they have been absent. Naturally, everything has gone pear-shaped in the enchanted kingdom, with a really nasty piece of work, the pointy-bearded King Miraz (he would have been played by Basil Rathbone in an earlier age) having made a grab for power and forcing into exile the pretty Prince Caspian, who looks more like a pouting Slav from the pro tennis circuit than a potential Che who is destined to lead a peasants revolt. Actually, they are not peasants whom he is supported by, but all the animals of the forest, as well as dwarves (vertically challenged people, as we know them) and noble centaurs. Aslan the lion, the spiritual head of this outcast population, is featured less than in the earlier instalment, and for Liam Neeson who does the voice, it is money for old rope. Things never happen the same way twice, Aslan (who, like many characters, varies in proportionate size) tells Lucy, before leaving the scene for an hour or so, at which point he reappears and again advises the girl that things never happen the same way twice. Either she is a desperately slow learner or the scriptwriters simply could not be bothered with tidying up the repetition (unless they are making a perverse joke) in their haste to get to the technological indulgences of the fighting when, though bloodless, violence takes over the second half of the movie. I ve not read the books, but I d be surprised if C. S. Lewis created a work of such lasting popularity that is as superficial and dumb as this adaptation would suggest. ~ John Campbell GONE BABY GONE Gone Baby Gone is directed and co-written by Ben Affleck (and is his first feature in such a role). The story is taken from a book by Dennis Lehane. Affleck s work behind the camera is so self-assured and so knowing that this marks the arrival of a brilliant new voice in cinema. Affleck s love for Boston has not changed in the decade since Good Will Hunting, and this appreciation for such a tightly knit area is essential to the story itself, and to those in it including the tone of having lived on the same block all their lives. The same vibe was used to great effect in Mystic River (another Lehane adaptation). Gone Baby Gone is a masterful work, going beyond the boundaries of simple detective thriller and into the realm of intelligent, morally complex drama. ~ Lounge Cinema MOVIE QUOTE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004) Joel: Is there any risk of brain damage?

31 Byron Shire Echo June mullumbimby JODY VASSALLO LENNOX 90 Ballina St Lennox Head Weekend Breakfasts from 8am Tapas all day Lunch from 12pm Dinner from 6pm Open 7 days newrybar THE SPICE OF MULLUM suppliers Laksa, sushi, curries, noodles, teriyakies, raw & Indian Sweets 55 Burringbar Street Mullumbimby Mon to Sat 12-8 CATERERS Victoria Cosford Anyone who, like me, plants themselves firmly in front of the cookbook section of bookshops would be familiar with her name, if not her actual books. Jody Vassallo has become almost synonymous with a certain style of cook-bookery identifiable with contemporary Australian food publications, a style exemplified by the likes of Donna Hay and Bill Grainger both with whom Jody has worked and characterised by simplicity, clarity, and breathtaking photography you could almost eat. It was, in fact, thanks to Donna Hay that Jody s career was launched about sixteen years ago. Jody was working as a massage therapist at the time; when circumstances conspired against her, her sister s best friend Donna suggested that she do the same Home Economics course at East Sydney Tech that Donna herself had recently completed. There ensued what Jody describes as a fluid motion, a series of unfolding opportunities which seemed to unerringly strike at the right time in the right place. While she was undertaking her two-year course she did handmodelling for Family Circle Step-By-Step recipes, going on to work for another four years as Donna s assistant at Murdoch Publications (Murdoch being at the time the greatest publisher of cookbooks in the world). She was writing and testing recipes, coordinating with chefs, doing photo shoots, building up a whole library of the little books which to this day continue to be reprinted (and which have just been repackaged), collaborating on Le Cordon Bleu collection of cookbooks which required, poor girl, being flown over to Paris. She recalls the excitement of working in food publishing at that time, a time when Marie Claire was dramatically changing the way the world looked at food photography. For the past four or five years she has been with the French publishers Hachette, as food stylist, cook, recipe designer/creator, and cookbook author. It is a life she loves, involving as it does extensive travel, taking her to parts of the world where she can shop in the local markets and strike up conversations with strangers who may often invite her back to their own homes. Jody describes sitting on the floor of humble kitchens watching women whip up extraordinary feasts in primitive conditions, and her face radiates the sheer joy of the experience. She tells me that she has changed considerably from the sort of person she once was that she is much more humble, preferring to remain within the boundaries of health and nutrition and simplicity, to impart all she knows to other people rather than seek to dazzle and to bamboozle. In fact her chief focus has long been nutrition added to all the aforementioned hats is that of yoga teacher, although when I ask her if the yoga is a means of counterbalancing the preoccupation with food, she explains that, on the contrary, it is bound up in it, and that the Ayurvedic medicine she is currently studying has its foundation in food. (She goes on to say that you cannot participate in any of her yoga classes she teaches at Belongil without talking about food, food and its seasons, food as spiritual sustenance, food as recipes to be exchanged and shared. These sound like my kind of yoga classes!) I want to know about the recipe-testing which she conducts in her perfectly modest Bangalow cottage together with assistant and friend Trace Gordon (ex Wild Bite wonder woman). How many times, I ask, do you test a recipe? Jody tells me that these days, being more experienced and more selfdisciplined, it is rarely more than three times, though when she started out it was up to five times. Sometimes, she says, you just know that something is going to work citing an instance of Green Tea Pannacotta which she refused to give up on despite Trace s conviction to the contrary. It ended up being and looking as divine as she had believed it could be.see more at Yum Cha from Orient Express, Groceries, Beautiful Homewares, Teas & Gifts Cooking Class Available Dinner Parties, Functions and lunchboxes Telephone: MATT COOKS FOR QUALITY There may well be sightings of celebrity chef and star of Channel Nine s The Chopping Block, Matt Moran, around the traps on the last Saturday of June. Together with up to 20 Camp Quality children (children whose lives are affected by cancer), he will be involved in a photo shoot at various locations around Byron Bay, to be transformed into a 2009 Camp Quality Cooking Calendar. Utilising the skills of professional photographer Dallas Nock, the calendar aims to raise $15,000 for programs designed to bring fun therapy to children and their families living with cancer in Northern NSW. The calendars will be sold throughout the branches of the Bananacoast Credit Union all along the coast of NSW from September, and will feature practical, use-at-home recipes devised by Matt himself

32 32 June 10, 2008 Byron Shire Echo Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Zen and the art of the Modern Horse maintenance Eve Jeffery When I was a kid I did little aths on Saturday mornings. I used to love to run and the faster the better. Sometimes it felt like flying. Everyone wanted to be the fastest kid. Oh yes there was high jumping and triple jumping and long jumping and hurdling, and the even nerdier discus and nerdier still, the shot put; but it was fast that you really wanted to be. Not 400 metres fast either. The 400 hundred was a chatting race. You started all serious but it was too long for ten year old legs and half way along the back straight it became gossip and giggle territory and no one really cared who won, it was a long distance race. Semi nerd. The 200 didn t warrant all that much more effort because in reality the 200 metres was almost long distance, but the 60 metres was too short to even be called a race it was for babies. The only race worth winning was the hundred metres. Short and sharp but long enough to get into stride. No one really spoke to each other before the hundred. All thoughts of friendly 400 metres chattiness evaporated with arrival of the bloke with the gun. Sidelong glances either way told you who was starting from the blocks and who was a standing, (only real athletes started in the blocks, any grade 4-er knew that!). The kids that started upright knew their place in the food chain. Either they were really slow or not sure if they were fast enough to look like they needed the blocks. Count them out. If you put your fingers on the ground for a block start you were making a statement Even though John Walker loves to run throught the streets of Ocean Shores, he still puts in plenty of hours on his Modern Horse. Photo Tree Faerie. a la Gunfight at the OK Corral. And if you carefully placed an arched hand minutely behind the line on one side, then methodically on the other, there was a chance that you had done this before. Brushing away an imaginary dust mite under your index finger was also a nice added effect. Stretching one leg out long behind you (toe nicely pointed thank you), and placing it painstakingly into position then repeating this at length with much twisting and shaking on the other side, was a sure fire message to all watching, that you were a contender and probably a future Olympian. At least a silver medallist. The block start was a dangerous thing. Accidents had happened and the gods of little aths would not help anyone who could not back up the ritualistic preparation with some serious speed. Heaven help any hapless lass who at the sound of the gun, face planted and got a mouth full of red cinders and a huge cricketer s rash down the front of her club uniform Not that that ever happened to me. Twice. Back in the day when I was still cleaning the cinder stains out of my t-shirt, another athlete was running around the globe. John Walker who has been racing on the north coast for over thirty years and has probably covered more miles on foot and bike than many humans travel in a life. John is a very recognizable figure to anyone who lives at the northern end of the shire. He can be seen daily running (barefoot), or cycling through the streets. My favourite run is from Billinudgel through the Ocean Shores golf course right down to New Brighton Beach and back. John who looks a fit and healthy late forty-ish, likes to express physical wellbeing through exercise. He is a US and World Masters champion and informs me that in some sports, competitive masters can be as young as twenty-five, but hints that he is somewhere in his mumble mumble sixties. From the experience he has clocked up I suspect he is bordering on septuagenarianism. Having a relatively late start in competiton at age 13, in the Harriers, or winter cross country in his home country of New Zealand, John was an odds on racer and who won a gold medal at the New Zealand Amateur Championships in the 1500 metres. The race was also an Olympic time trial. John never made it to Rome in 1960 as his career was cut short, almost fatally, when he broke his neck in a car accident. I was instructed not to run ever again. It took me about eighteen months before I stopped listening to that advice and I started competitive walking. Contrary to what was expected of my physical future, I qualified for the Commonwealth Games in the 20 mile walk, but couldn t raise the 1800 return airfare to Jamaica, so I had to relinquish that spot. Born in Cambridge NZ, John left home and began to conquer the world, living and competing in 16 cities on the planet including the Uk, India (training as a novice Buddhist), teaching aerobic conditioning and breathing techniques to American high altitude mountain climbers at Everest base camp, (having studied the art with a bloke called Edmund Percival Hillary), and in South Africa where he also studied zoology and competed for the SA University, before finally settling in Australia in the 70 s. John has a bagful of medals some of the older ones are literally gold and silver, proof that John was and still is a force to be reckoned with on the world stage, after 20 years he still holds the record in the World Masters for the mile which he raced in a time of 3 minutes 52. Having a stash of gold and silver from all the recent World Masters, John is reluctant to travel abroad these days, preferring to compete locally and train our athletic future. And after five wives and 18 children, (no folks that s not a typo), John is happy to hang around the shire helping out future championships in all manner of training and techniques to give results@echo.net.au them the edge in professional athletics, recently developing a cycling warmup for Beijing athletes. I also train juniors. I am a specialist at warm up so I am promoting warm up with the younger age groups, and teaching a lot of body core exercises, and I wind some tai chi and yoga in as well. I ve done that much flying in my life I don t really want to do any more. Aeronautics today is not something that makes me feel very confident. I m happy to stay at home. His main event at present is the 2k steeple chase, not bad for a bloke who qualifies for the mature aged pension, and his current venture, the Modern Horse, is about artistic expression and its connection with low cost transport for the homeless and unemployed by reusing discarded cycle pieces. The Modern Horse is actually about using recycled cycles, we just deal in second hand. Our aim is to promote cycling as a form of transport. We also are given a lot of old bikes that we use for parts to make up bikes. Next for John is the Asia Pacific games later this year on the Gold Coast in November where he will probably compete in 8 or 9 events. I d wish him luck but I don t think he needs it. There will be an exhibition of the art works for the Modern Horse on Friday June 27 to Friday July 11 at the corner of Gaggin Street and Ocean Avenue, next to Pippi s Cafe in New Brighton.

Moonshiners Saturday produced a fantastic afternoon of rugby at home on the Brunswick Head fields against Grafton, with the thirds unfortunately falling agonisingly short. Both Mark Hartley and Ian Mathison scored tries, in what was an edge-of-the-seat game, then, with the team down with only minutes to go, the boys ran a play that went through every players hands four times and thrice crossed the width of the ground only to see the classic movie style match winning try disallowed as the ball spilled loose. The seconds made amends notching up their first win of the season with a 20-5 victory. Five pointers went to Wade Kelly, Corey Superboot Strickland and first gamer Johnsy, with the standout performance on the day from the lion hearted Matho. It will definitely be worth making the trip to Lismore next weekend just to watch the big fella play. Rams The thirds played host to Alstonville and in a close match came away winners with a fulltime 2-1 score. The first half was where all the goal scoring action took place. The first goal went sailing into the net off the boot of Ram s Michael Dunn and the second by Jarrod Thompson. The boys headed into the second half with an unbeatable lead despite Alstonville s plan of attack. Man of the match Rob Kempnich played goal keeper extraordinaire holding Alstonville to 1 goal in what was a great match for both players and spectators. The premiers played Bangalow and the first half saw both teams come up empty handed, 0-0. The second half saw the Rams take full control as they dominated proceedings, but after what should have been a scoring shot missed its target, the final score was two big fat duck eggs. A special mention should go to Kai Connell in goals, who pull the save of the season out of the hat from a Joel Rudgely shot. The first half of the Reserves game seemed to flow from end to end with the greatest of ease, the Rams defence holding firm. Yantra Whitling up front put the Rams ahead with a fine taken goal after being set up by John. The second half saw the Rams dominant with Shin scoring two spectacular goals for a final siren score of 3-0. A fitting result for a great day of soccer. Mullum to Bruns update The Mullum to Bruns is now less than 8 weeks away so get ready for Sunday August 3. Organisers signed up more entrants at Saturday s Bruns market and there is a ground swell of interest in the event. There are so far two 7 year olds racing, one running and one walking and a 2 year old girl who will be pushed by mum in a stroller.

33 Byron Shire Echo June 10, Sports Roundup with Eve Jeffery Shores ladies enjoy tea and pink bowls The Ocean Shores Ladies Bowling Club Cancer Council Morning Tea (and bowls), as part of the national campaign in the fight against cancer, was a great success. All ladies looked beautiful in their pink outfits. Tickets in their monster hamper raffles were sold over a couple of weeks prior to the event as well as three 100 Club sheets. A grand total of $1,155 was raised for a great cause and the ladies were very proud of their effort. They invite anyone come them on their greens at the Ocean Shores Country Club. Everyone is very welcome. Crankin what s happening surfside All Girls Surf Showdown Windy weather and rain squalls during the competition finals made for difficult conditions for this years All Girls Surf Showdown held at Lennox Head over the long weekend Conditions were so blustery on the final day that the organisers tents were nearly blown away. An almsot local four girl final made for exciting competition yesterday afternoon as the ladies battled each other, the wind, the rain and choppy surf conditons in a tight event. Over a weekend of fairly consistent 1-2 metre waves, the heats were a tough challenge for the girls who put on an excellent show for surf supporters. In unfavourable conditions the Pros kept coming back for more in two rounds of gruelling heats through the semis and onto the finals held yesterday afternoon. In the end it was the out of towner who managed to fight off the locals, the winner Laura Enever hailing from North Narabeen. The place getters in the Pro event were 2nd Laurina McGrath (Lennox), 3rd Pauline Menczer (Ocean Shores), and Crystal Vail (Byron Bay). Special mention must be made of Philippa Anderson who made it to the semis of the Open Pro heats after a fantastic win in the under 16s event. Second place in that event went to another Lennox lass Lyla Wright. Other winners on the day were in the Open B Grade Skye Burgess, and in the 28 and over division Jenny Boggis from Lennox. In the 21and under secton Paige Haggerston won the final and the winner in the under 14s was Ellie Jean Coffey. Kirsty Webster outsurfed her opponents in the long board event, another local, Maz Pentecost, coming 3rd in that event, with 4th place going to Ballina surfer and Lennox All Girls Club member Kara Knobbs. Despite conditions the organisers were pleased with the 9th annual event and are looking forward to next year and their 10th birthday. Brunswick Boardriders The club will hold its June round on Sunday. Members will meet at 7.30am at the Brunswick surfclub. The weather seems to be shaping up so join in the fun.

Ocean Shores E: oceanshores@prd.com.au W: prdnationwide.com.au/oceanshores Frank Sartor s bid to steal planning decisions from local councils was pushed through a late night sitting last week. However, there will be a debate in the Upper House on Tuesday June 17 about whether to send the Bill to an inquiry. The Government does not have the majority of seats in the Upper House so in order to defeat the call for an inquiry and have the Bill passed it must rely on crossbench members to support it. There are eight members of the cross-bench. The four Greens and Dr Moyes have indicated they support an inquiry. The Shooters Party representatives Robert Brown and Roy Smith and the Christian Democrat Fred Nile have not yet stated their position. Wouldn t it be cool for Byron Shire residents to let those three members of the Upper House know what we think of Sartor s Bill? Remember, you only have one week to persuade them to vote for an enquiry. Take aim at Robert Brown (Shooters Party) robert.brown@ parliament.nsw.gov.au, Roy Smith (Shooters Party)roy. smith@parliament.nsw.gov. au and the Rev Fred Nile (Christian Democratic Party) F.Nile@parliament.nsw.gov.au. Cr Tom Tabart wants council meetings to move back to the evenings and has put up a notice of motion to that effect. His reasoning? The move to daytime meetings was predicated by the inability of the current council to conclude meetings within a reasonable time frame. This action has resulted in the inabilty of many working constituents to attend a regrettable shrinking of the democratic process. In addition the daytime schedule unreasonably restricts the ability of many citizens to stand for election leaving a very narrow pool of relatively unemcumbered individuals as prospective councillors. Nightime meetings may also have the effect of restricting the endemic prolixity of those on office and lead to shorter, more effective meetings. We doubt it. We forgot to mention last week that David Vidler s book Dancin at the Seabreeze Stories of old Byron Bay is available at Mary Ryan s, Byron Bay,The Bookshop, Mullumbimby, The Book Gallery, Brunswick Heads, Noah s Ark, Lismore, or call David on And apparently the mobile number we had for Phil the bicycle recycler in last week s Backlash was wrong. The correct number we hope is Mullum once boasted three pubs and is now left with just one after the closure of the Chinny. Rumours are rife about what will happen next, including talk of Coles and six retail shops. This is the first issue of our 23rd year, and we celebrate in part with the launch of our revamped website, where you can now view video and the surf at Brunswick Heads, among other things. How things have changed since the 1980s when we used to stick pages together with Cow Gum. No part of the cow was used in creating cow gum, by the way, but it could be rolled up into big balls and bounced off buildings. 10% -30% off selected items Relaxed aesthetics for indoors and out.
