sued are strongly defending the case, denying they knew – or should have been expected to know – that the school wouldn’t be able to pay the builder, and that they had only limited control over the school’s budget. The lawyer representing four of the Shearwater seven, Mr Wroth Wall, says if the case is successful it will have dramatic national consequences, potentially causing people to shy away from representing community-based groups. ‘The implication is the complete collapse of voluntary involvement in non-profit associations,’ said Mr Wall, As if the Woolies fencing isn’t intrusive enough.

Significantly, the three teachers being sued by the builder have chosen to be represented separately from the Stan Stevens group, by a different lawyer, and their defence strategy may also differ if the matter gets to open court in the new year. continued on page 2

Woolworths drives Mullum to gridlock David Lovejoy

A decade of Screenworks

Screenworks celebrated its tenth anniversary last Wednesday. Many past and present board members attended as well as many of the area’s screen industry practitioners. John Weiley, Cathy Henkel and Lois Randall each told a personal story about getting Screenworks established. Photo Jeff ‘Screened and just working’ Dawson.

Byron Shire Council picked up the mood of the community last week and voted that Woolworths remove the barricades hindering the businesses and streets of Mullumbimby, at least for Christmas. Cr Basil Cameron, who proposed the motion, described the building works as an imposition which was gridlocking the town’s traffic and which would deteriorate further when holiday season visitors arrive. ‘It’s not fair on our residents and it’s not fair on our businesses having to wear the costs of [Woolworths’] overruns,’ he said. ‘It’s our community that ultimately pays for these.’ Mayor Jan Barham said it was unprecedented for a town to suffer restriction of access to its own public spaces, and planning director Ray Darney agreed. In the public access session preceding the Council meeting on Thursday, Deborah Lilly of Mullumbimby Community Action Network said the work has taken nine months already,

instead of the promised three months. She claimed Woolworths had been given ‘carte blanche over our streets.’ The construction of the Woolworths outlet has been delayed due to rain, but locals say the fenced off Station Street has been used as a storage dump for the project and that tenants of the Council-owned block next to the building site have been denied access. The prolonged building work has also impacted severely on the Poinciana Café.

Request to Woolworths to open streets for Christmas Council’s general manager is to request Woolworths to desist for the holiday break and to negotiate a commercial level of compensation for the former Telstra site which the barricades have closed off. Meanwhile the project manager of Walton Construction (Qld) Pty Ltd, Andrew Corbin, has written to Station Street residents promising that the street will open for Christmas and close again for more work in early January.

There is a photo doing the rounds on the internet entitled ‘A Women’s Tool Box’. The picture shows a plastic drill case holding a red stiletto and a nail file. Fortunately the notion of the archetypically inept handywoman is fading into the oblivion where it belongs – these days many sisters are doing it for themsleves. To help the girls along on the road to fixing their own stuff, a special information session for women interested in learning how to use tools will be held at Mitre 10 in Mullumbimby on Saturday December 18. The Women Talk Tools project will be hosted by

Mullumbimby’s woodworking queen Patt Gregory who released her woodworking manual Cutting a New Path for Beginners at this years Byron Bay Writers Festival.

‘Tools can be daunting for women,’ says Patt who has been a woodwork teacher for over 25 years. ‘Many women simply don’t know which ones to use or

even what they’re called.’ ‘The concepts and even the language are a mystery to women,’ says Patt. ‘This can stop them from having a go. The project is aimed at encouraging women around Australia to build their own worlds – whether that’s furniture for their homes or a career in woodwork.’ Patt will have completed woodwork projects from recent students on display at the event, including the beautiful and rustic Victorian Ash coffee table she made from a discarded wooden pallet and she will show how it was put together with a simple technique.

Allan Coman left the school in 2009 and returned as principal this year, although he is understood to be leaving soon, with the imminent appointment of a new ‘educational administrator’. Mr Coman did not return calls from The Echo. The acting chair of the newly constituted Shearwater company board, Jan Roskott, told The Echo, ‘It’s clear the school lacked appropriate management procedures and systems at a governance level’, adding that the former team ‘weren’t able to navigate the perfect storm of the global financial crisis and its effects.’ Jan Roskott was one of the parents who loaned the Steiner school money via Stan Stevens, making a loan of around $600,000 in 2008. It’s understood the school

was hoping to use a new bank loan to pay for Mark Ware’s building work, but as the global financial crisis unfolded, the loan was not available, helping precipitate a cascade of consequences ending in Shearwater’s near-collapse and then rescue, with strong community support, emergency donations and fresh new loans.

15 parents still have unsecured loans While over 15 parents still have unsecured loans with the Steiner school totalling more than $2 million – and some feel they were not as fully informed of the financial situation as they should have been – the group has got behind the school rather than pursue action in the courts. Meanwhile The Echo understands a ‘truth and reconciliation process’ is being contemplated as a forum for full disclosure of who knew what when.

Retractions and inflexible laws

Council’s motion-passing sausage factory in action Hans Lovejoy

Drama unfolded in the dying moments of Council’s ordinary meeting last Thursday. With only an audience of Fast Buck$ and myself in the gallery just before lunch, Cr Tabart uncomfortably asserted he had no confidence in the abilities of Council’s staff. ‘I wouldn’t trust anything coming out of compliance even if it was wrtten on stone.’ The mayor immediately requested that he retract the comment. With a little more waffle and awkward silences, the comment was indeed taken back. Fast Buck$ was almost standing as he shouted ‘Do something, Tom! They’re all laughing at you.’ Funnily enough, retractions

of comments aren’t recorded in the minutes of these meetings. So what is the code of conduct that councillors and staff have to operate under in the gallery? Can they just say whatever they really think? Much to my disappointment, apparently not, according to Council’s hefty ‘Code of Conduct’. In section 9.7, it says: ‘You must not make personal attacks on council staff in a public forum.’ The code is available at w w w. b y r o n . n s w. g o v. a u / publications/c. As long time residents would be aware, Mr Buck$ was occasionally thrown out of the chambers when he was a councillor. Now it appears we are in a

Woolworths defends pricing policy Victoria Cosford

The commonly-held notion that the Woolworths in Byron Bay is the most expensive branch in the country is just a myth, according to the company. Woolworths’ media relations manager Benedict Brook says of all the goods sold, a third is nationally-priced, a third is state-priced and a third – the fresh food component – is variable and subject to seasonality and supply. ‘We are moving toward national pricing,’ he told The Echo. ‘As for the fresh food, it comes from so many different places and suppliers and has such a short shelf life that the price can and does vary.’

With regard to produce purchased from the Byron Shire, Mr Brook said that some of it is delivered to the stores and some goes to the distribution centre in Brisbane. ‘It usually gets to stores within 24 hours,’ he said, ‘or farmers may send it up to the markets in Brisbane and we’ll then send it to the stores. We’re sending a lot direct to stores. ‘At the distribution centre, food comes in during the day and goes out the same day. ‘There’s a 24-hour turnaround getting it from field to store,’ Mr Brook said. ‘But some fruit and vegetables will have more nutritional value if you wait a while – although fruit like mangoes you want to get to the stores as quickly as possible.’

At the end of October, the Byron Shire lost one of its favourite ‘uncles’ when Mullumbimby local Geoffrey Grundy passed away after a short and unexpected illness. Geoffrey was well known for his love and care of children and he provided the Shire’s only male Steiner based family day care. ‘Geoffrey was the day carer of my daughter Wyana for the past two years,’ says Nadia de Souza Pietramale. ‘Sadly one week he closed his business, he was hospitalised and in three short weeks he died. Geoffrey was a very simple, humble, ego-less human being. Many families in Byron Shire are grieving the loss of a special uncle.’

Born in New Zealand in 1957, for the past five years Geoffrey had cared for the children of almost fifty families in his house in Mullumbimby. His experience in caring for children began when he worked in the Sydney Spastic Centre in 1985. To celebrate Geoffrey’s life, a group of parents are inviting all families who knew Geoff to join in the planting of rainforest trees in honour of the great work that he did for this community. The event will be held at the chemical free landcare site at the Tristran Parade and Brush Box Wildlife Corridor on Saturday December 11 from 9am to 11 am. For more information, call Nadia on 6684 4771.

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography. 8 week Introductory Course: $600 Monday 4.30 – 7.30pm and Wednesday 4.30 – 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 – 3:30pm Commencing 14th February Venue: Cape Byron Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Gerry Josephson 0406 788 050 Kristy Brake 0431 833 959

Extension of Targa opening hours refused Victoria Cosford

Byron Bay restaurant owner Ben Musu was refused extended operating hours this week at Council’s ordinary meeting. His application to increase trade from 7am-10pm to 7am12 midnight was knocked back on the grounds of public interest and amenity, Council’s draft liquor licensing policy, community safety plan and resident objections. Mr Musu believes however that venues serving liquor should not be subject to a blanket ruling when it comes to aspects like opening hours.

‘Obviously, in the case of dining in a restaurant in a place with daylight saving when it stays light till 8.30pm, we don’t want to push people out at 10pm,’ he told The Echo. ‘We want to conduct a civilised restaurant service. We’re not a party bar, we’re a restaurant, it’s that simple.’ Mr Musu says his restaurant Targa is book-ended by the bowling club and the (new) Owl & Pussycat, both which have later licences. ‘It’s not giving a fair representation of what I do – we’re primarily food operators and they (Council) can’t see the distinc-

tion between us and a nightclub like Liquid.’ Crs Staples, Barham, Cameron, Morrisey and Tabart voted against allowing increased operating hours, while Crs Heeson and Richardson voted for it. Mr Musu said there had been no complaints from neighbours but out of the six submissions against his extending his hours, five came from the same woman, who claimed the restaurant was having a negative impact on her life. Despite being aware when he opened of the trading restrictions, he says that an extension wasn’t a big ask.

‘It’s the simple fact that the nature of the business we conduct is so commonplace, normal and civilised. My main push to Council is that there needs to be some distinction between different places that serve liquor. We are a food venue.’

Michael wins silver at NSW spelling title

Twelve year old Michael being interviewed by ABC radio host Richard Glover. Photo Jocelyne Pegoretti.

Bangalow Public School Year six student, Michael Krippner, travelled to Sydney last week to represent the Far North Coast region in the senior section of the State Finals of the Premier’s Spelling Bee, held at the ABC’s headquarters in Ultimo. ‘He was competing against 37 other spelling champions from around the state,’ Michael’s father Ross told The Echo. ‘Michael calmly and confi-

dently spelled his way through an astonishing 23 rounds, spelling words such as affidavit, ubiquitous, miscellaneous, facetious, lyricism, rogaining, subpoena and spontaneity. ‘After 12 rounds, Michael correctly spelled “rotisserie”, which put him into the final five. There was a lot of excitement about going live–to–air on ABC radio to determine the winner. ‘A further four rounds saw only two spellers left,’ Ross

said. ‘A further seven nail-biting rounds head-to-head had the audience on the edge of their seats, and when Michael stumbled on “emphysema”, Jordan was declared the winner with “dichotomy”.’ Twelve year old Michael told The Echo that he was quietly proud of his achievement, not only for himself, but for his school. ‘Around 88,000 primary school students from around the state initially enter the Premier’s Spelling Bee,’ said a very pleased Ross. ‘This completed a memorable month for Michael, who had earlier received an award for achieving first place in the Northern Region section of the highly regarded Newcastle Permanent Primary Maths Competition, earning an additional $500 for his school by actually getting 100 per cent in the test.’ Surprisingly however, academia is not high on Michael’s vocational aspiration list at the moment. Ross says he would much rather represent Australia ‘in either cricket or soccer, but only time will tell on that score!’ In the Junior section of the state final of the Premier’s Spelling Bee, another Byron Shire resident, Brad Smith, a Year four student at Ocean Shores Public School, also put in a brilliant performance, coming equal fourth in a hotly contested event.

He wrote and directed the film Being in Heaven, which has been in national release this year. He has discovered the iron-clad and unavoidable principles for successful writing.

Free-of-charge pro bono law conferences will once again be offered by Federal-based solicitor Jonathon de Vere Tyndall. Held at Harvest Cafe in Newrybar, their aim is to help people in need with legal problems like bankruptcy, loss of home and job disputes. Both commence at 10am and will be held on Monday www.echo.net.au

December 13 and Monday December 20. These cafe conferences proved enormously successful last year, when Jonathon conducted a series of eight in all, totalling 60 one-on-one sessions. According to a survey he conducted afterwards, the ‘overwhelming response’ was that they had been of definite benefit to those attending with legal problems, giving them a

better idea as to how to resolve their legal isues. Jonathon told The Echo that ‘most surveyed found that their happiness was enhanced’. He said that ‘Christmas is a time of giving but it is also a time of great stress financially and with family issues. I am always busy at Christmas time unfortunately.’ For further information and bookings call Jonathon on 6688 2492 or 0439 651 813.

Local News Roll call for Byron’s surf alley

Byron United party shuts down golf club ron Day campaign and require matching funding from government funds. I am extremely hopeful that we will get this and while the campaign may be delayed a little further into next year we are working harder than ever to make it a reality, so stay solid with us.’

‘There are umpteen thousand schoolies in town but who ends up being the biggest disturbers of the peace? None other than the Chamber of Commerce.’ Byron United (BU) president Sevegne Newton said facetiously in a release that the annual Christmas party got shut down at 10.45pm last Thursday. ‘It’s because we were making two much noise and having far too good a time. ‘I blame “Goodrich” and their rendition of “Can’t get no satisfaction” that had everyone on the dance floor and singing along.’ About 150 business owners attended the event which included food and live music.

Ms Newton also reminded everyone that next Friday children can have their photo taken by Santa between 4pm and 5.30pm at Apex Park followed by Carols by the Sea. ‘We have also raised the idea of a Surfing Festival with the Mal Club and the Byron Boardriders for later next year. ‘If you are interested in being involved, please pop in and see me in Madame Butterfly or Temple of Light as I will be chained to the counter for the next three weeks.’

Ms Newton told the gathering that she and John Gudgeon recently met with NSW Tourism Minister Jodi McKay. ‘Ms McKay commended the Chamber of Commerce and its members for stepping forward to engage in a campaign such as this,’ she said. ‘As well as stressing that she has a soft spot for Byron Bay, she said she saw it as the second most important tourist destination in NSW after Sydney. ‘As you may know we have managed to raise $180,000 from businesses for the My By-

Ms Newton also commended Nicqui Yazdi and her team of volunteers and the Red Frogs ‘for the great job they have done during the peak two weeks of schoolies. ‘I know there have been some complaints but I understand police, ambulance officers and the hospital feel that it has all been very well managed.

Widjabul artist Sheldon Harrington painting with the students at Wilsons Creek Public School. Photo supplied.

Widjabul artist, Sheldon Harrington, spent the day with all the kids from Wilsons Creek Public School recently as part of the catchment wide Reconnecting to Country project. The day started with the youngest children, painting pictures of the creek and rainforest with their handprints. Other children worked with him to create a series of ‘prayer flags’ that contained their own messages about caring for the creek. ‘What’s really important,’ Sheldon told The Echo, ‘is that the kids learn respect. ‘To respect their elders, to respect each other and to respect the country. And they really appreciate the learning.

It was a great day.’ At lunchtime, interpretive signs in the school’s new bushtucker garden were unveiled by Widjabul elders Aunty Irene Harrington and Aunty June Gordon.

‘The importance of living simply’: Elder ‘They talked about life growing up in the bush outside Lismore when they were kids,’ said Sheldon, ‘and the importance of living simply and using no more than you really need.’ ‘You live in a really wonderful place out here, and we hope that you take good care of it,’ said Aunty Irene as she addressed the kids.

In the afternoon, the older children from the school planted 450 rainforest trees on the creekbank with members of Wilsons Creek Huonbrook Landcare and Mudhima Gulgan Aboriginal bush regeneration team. Widjabul people of the Bundjalung nation are traditional custodians of an area including the Wilsons River catchment, which includes the more inland parts of Byron Shire high on the escarpment. The day was organised and facilitated by Sustainable Futures Australia; supported by Jude Mason, environmental education officer from Byron Shire Council, and teachers at the school.

Schoolies operation a success, say police

Police have praised the majority of schoolies celebrating in Byron Bay over the past two weeks. High-visibility operations were conducted throughout the duration say police, which focused on alcohol-related of-

fences and anti-social behaviour in and around licensed premises, car parks and beaches. Sniffer dogs have also been seen on the streets and in the pubs throught Byron Bay. Police say results from the

operation included 57 drug detections (38 cannabis cautions; 19 drug possession charges including one of supply), nine assaults related to ‘schoolies’, 28 drink-driving charges and four drug driving detections and 31 noise complaints.

‘Eat, Paint, Love’ attracting the food lovers

Victoria Cosford

Friday December 10 sees the opening of ‘Eat, Paint, Love’, an art exhibition whose theme is food, at Still@The Centre. More than 90 artworks – paintings, etchings, collages, sculptures – will fill the gallery. In addition there will be a two day ceramic installation curated by Suvira McDonald, entitled ‘Table Manners’, for which five artists will create table settings

in their own inimitable styles. It aims to reflect the casual approach to dining typical of the north coast lifestyle. ‘It’s a really exciting project,’ Suvira told The Echo. Inspiration for it came to him on a recent trip to Korea for an international exhibition. ‘Korea has eight to ten museums devoted to ceramics,’ he said. ‘I was there for two and a half weeks and was in heaven!’ Several of the ceramicists he

met there have been invited to contribute to ‘Table Manners’. A collaboration between food stylists and the ceramicists, the installation will include individually lit tables ‘to create little islands of light’, floral arrangements and accessories from local artists. As far as the ‘Eat, Paint, Love’ exhibition is concerned, gallery owner Sabine told The Echo that they extended an open invitation to artists for works relating to food, attracting over 160 artworks which they then culled down to 90. ‘We’ve had some amazing entries,’ she said. ‘With food, I was hoping for something a little outside the pears and apples – but I did get a lot of pears and apples! I would have like something fun, like dirty dishes… we did get a few fun ones, like a nest of baby birds with open beaks.’ Sabine added that they were all working on the idea of making Byron Bay a place to come to do art. ‘Eat, Paint, Love’ together with ‘Table Manners’, vegetar-

Back to the Present Transformational Chiropractic What I love about being a Network Chiropractor is reconnecting the body/mind. I began my training 13 years ago. Every year I become more amazed by the evolving nature of the human nervous system. The lightest of touches can stimulate the mind/body to release stored trauma, bringing us out of the past, into the present thus opening our hearts. For some people it feels like tingling through their spine, others a deep sense of relaxation, others feel lines of energy spiraling through their spine. Here is what practice members have said:“Network can align your body and soothe your spirit. They (Network practitioners) have a deep understanding of how to optimize your life” Brendon Nichols, author of the best seller ‘Your Soul Purpose’.

“The last two days, are the ﬁrst in 6 years I haven’t had back pain. It feels like something is missing” R. Edwards.

“I’m more happy, positive and energetic… and my sense of humour has returned” T. Norton. “It actually feels bad when I slouch now” J. Xandora, 12 years (and many others). People come for help with all sorts of physical mental and emotional ailments

and generally have an understanding of how emotional trauma can be held as tension in the body. I don’t actually heal anyone of anything. I activate the natural healing abilities of the body. The magic happens from within. I have a Masters of Chiropractic, and have recently been trained to the highest level of Network Chiropractic. SPECIAL OFFER Mention this ad and receive your initial exam and consultation for $50 (usually $90). FREE EVENING TALK Next Thursday 16th Dec. at 7pm, join me for a talk and demonstration.

Nuclear spectre enters parliament Volume 25 #27

December 7, 2010

Whaling stocks at all time low It’s whale huntin’ time again. The Sea Shepherd crew, like previous years, has embarked on ‘Operation No Compromise’ to stop Japanese whalers in the southern oceans. Captain Paul Watson says he’s taking three vessels: the Steve Irwin, Bob Barker and the newly acquired interceptor vessel Gojira, which is Japanese for Godzilla. They also have a new helicopter, thanks to a $5 million donation last year. With that cash injection it’s no surprise the Sea Shepherd is undertaking its biggest operation yet. Armed coast guards will be aboard Japanese whaling vessels for the first time in three years to prevent sabotage, say Japanese authorities. More importantly, public perception which dictates economic forces appears to be changing in Japan – there’s no interest in whale meat in the country. The Japan Times says the stockpile of frozen whale meat increased to 5,670 tonnes, ‘the most since at least 1999, across Japan in September, up from last year’s average stockpile of 4,246 tonnes.’ With the Australian government still in proceedings with an International Court of Justice (ICJ) case against Japan, it would seem an inopportune time to invest in Japanese whale meat. Local activist Howie Cooke is one of the crew with the Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign that is now heading south, and we wish him and crew of all vessels a safe return. Hans Lovejoy

t must be the silly season. The old arguments are all back on the agenda, and none of them is more thoroughly worn than the one about Australia going nuclear. We have endured it in one form or another for at least the last 50 years and there is every prospect that another generation will be rehashing the same debate at the end of this century. The impasse over nukes has a half life longer than that of plutonium. The basics are simple. There is no doubt that nuclear power is a viable source of industrial and domestic electric power; it has proved itself over large areas of the world and will presumably continue to do so unless and until an equally reliable alternative (perhaps the holy grail of controlled fusion) becomes commercially available. Once the plants are in place they are non-polluting; when working efficiently the only gas they emit is water vapour. This, of course, is the basis of the case for using them as a replacement for coal-fired plants; they may be more expensive, but they’re clean. Well, up to a point. There is still the intractable problem of disposing of the nuclear waste or at least of safeguarding it; as the quantities increase and maverick states and terrorist groups proliferate, the chances of theft or misadventure become both greater and graver. And while the design of modern plants is a huge improvement on Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, there are still very few people who would choose to live next door to one – or indeed, anywhere within rocket range. The buggers don’t even like living next to windmills. The political cost

of making the switch might well be comparable to the financial one, and that in itself would be huge. Julia Gillard has made it clear that she just doesn’t think it’s worth it and it is pretty certain a large majority at next year’s National Party conference will agree with her. Meanwhile Tony Abbott doesn’t even want to talk about the subject. He is happy to see

Julia Gillard and most of her colleagues would see this line as out of date. They no longer claim that nuclear power is dangerous and evil; it’s simply unsuitable for Australian conditions. And of course even if we went down that path, it would be many years – perhaps decades – before we could build enough plants to close down the coal fired stations. We can’t afford the delay

Are we no better than merchants of death, on a par with arms salesmen and drug dealers? by Mungo MacCallum it as a wedge within the Labor Party but he is not prepared to risk a similar debate among his own troops. So Realpolitik suggests that the nuclear debate will end, once again, not with a bang but a phut. But there is another line of argument: the moral one. Australia is happy, indeed eager, to sell its enormous deposits of uranium for other countries to use. We say we’re only doing it under stringent conditions to countries which have signed the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty but we know that is sophistry; once the stuff ’s on the boats, we effectively relinquish control of it. We certainly aren’t interested in taking responsibility for the nuclear waste it generates. So if it’s so dangerous and evil that we won’t use it ourselves, what is the justification for flogging it to others? Are we no better than merchants of death, on a par with arms salesmen and drug dealers?

– climate change is once again a real and urgent problem. We need action now! A carbon price, that’s the ticket! And in the meantime keep those freighters moving. Of course most of them are carrying coal, which we have now realised is definitely dangerous and evil. But we’ve already decided this is a debate about practicality, not ideals.

he Australian should really have a new kicker under its masthead: not ‘The Heart of the Nation’ but ‘It’s All About Us!’ Its preoccupation with its own self-importance has reached the level of self parody. The case of Julie Posetti finally proves it. It started when Posetti tweeted a report of what a former writer for the paper, Asa Walquist, said at a small and closed conference. No one took much notice until Crikey ran some of the tweets and The Australian’s unusual

editor-in-chief, Chris Mitchell, decided that Walquist’s remarks were defamatory of himself and announced that he would sue not Walquist for making them, but Posetti and Crikey for publishing them. Actually still no one took much notice; as The Australian’s own Environment Editor Graham Lloyd noted rather complainingly, ‘The story has barely raised a ripple in the mainstream media.’ So to remedy that, and incidentally to ensure that the alleged libel was spread as widely as possible, The Weekend Australian devoted an entire page to self justification. The argument, such as it was, maintained that Mitchell had been eminently fair and reasonable about climate change, even if the paper had given the sceptics and denialists a lot of space. But the paper really, truly believed in man-made climate change and had said so, and now Mitchell wished he had sued Clive Hamilton as well. And that, in about 40,000 not very well chosen words, was the news. The Australian. Think. Again.

nd as an unenthusiastic outpost of the sport in the wrong hemisphere and the wrong time zone we never had any real chance of hosting the 2022 World Cup, and should never have been in the bidding. But since we apparently had a lazy $45 million to spend on the caper wouldn’t it have been simpler to cut out the middlemen and just sling the 22 voting delegates a couple of million each? Sure, we still would have lost, but at least we would have had enough left over for a decent piss-up.

The rural strategy is stone cold dead Two interesting events took place at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council meeting. Council for one thing made it clear that it finally means business about holiday letting and secondly it all but buried the Rural Settlement Strategy. I will deal with the latter and later with holiday letting. The Byron Rural Settlement Strategy was passed in 1998 and its basic premise was that henceforth any new residential development in rural areas would only be in the form of Community Title and would be restricted to defined areas close to existing towns or villages. This approach was widely applauded at the time and was also lauded by the state government. Twelve years later it is widely seen seen as a flop, having achieved less than ten per cent of its target levels of housing and having caused immense frustration to applicants because of the expense and delays resulting from unreasonable bureaucratic imposts. I note that Crs Tucker and Higgins voted against the strategy. I also note that the supposed five

year review was never initiated by staff. In 2008 the state government in its ever-evolving wisdom decided that local governments must now prepare a local growth management strategy. This to me sounded like a new name for what already existed, but the staff seized the moment to further normalise the BRSS. They recommended the following, which the councillors uncritically voted in favour of: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That Council not accept any new applications for community title rural residential LEP amendments until a local growth management strategy has been prepared.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I have doubts whether the council was legally entitled to just like that effectively suspend a document which had gone through all the proper procedures and which had the endorsement of the state government. For one thing it leaves a strategy vacuum until the LGMS is completed, which will take years, and hangs out to dry those who would otherwise qualify for CT under the strategy. At last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting four

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gatewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; applications were put forward for Community Title in areas not permitted under the BRSS. (I assume â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gatewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means some ingenious new way of getting around the rules, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had time to check it out) Interestingly the staff recommended against each of these applications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for contradictory reasons. On the one hand they pointed out that the applications didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with the BRSS, but on the other they pointed to the resolution which purported to prevent new applications. Well, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have both; if the resolution is valid then the BRSS is null and void. Cr Basil Cameron, who sometimes seems too clever by half, used the same sophistry to argue against approving all four of the applications. He favours the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strategic approachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he went on to pontificate, obviously not suspecting that when things have ground to an indecorous halt into the forseeable future, then some may not see such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strategicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

If two or three people could build a house 110m2 smaller the mortgage would be approximately $275,000 cheaper and $21,450 less interest per year at 7.8 per cent! Project homes that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always suit the aspects of the blocks are often sited on new subdivisions on many of the blocks. If houses could be smaller with plans for additions later they could be designed to enjoy the design potential of the blocks and not incur expensive repairs to the

Covenants and guidelines, often mandated, on new subdivisions require houses to be often a minimum of 220m2. If people were allowed to build smaller houses with designs for additions later, more people would be able to afford houses and less people would be tied to large mortgages. One of the biggest costs in housing is each square metre of building constructed. Bigger houses equate to bigger cost, a bigger mortgage and a longer term tied to paying high interest rates. Houses can be designed to be built in stages with a smaller core at the start. A house of around 110m 2 will provide a basic house which can then have

The significance of the fact that two applications which fell outside the BRSS guidelines were in principle approved is that if the BRSS was seriously wounded by the earlier resolution, it is now stone cold dead. I for one wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be lamenting it. Another encouraging development at that meeting was that councillors are now openly sharing their contempt for staff in terms of their lack of due diligence, their failure to act on past resolutions, and their withholding of pertinent information.

seedlings, including littoral rainforest species. Although there is also an abundance of Bitou Bush seedlings coming up and it is listed as a noxious weed, there is nothing to panic about because it’s a very easy weed to pull out. However, our biggest summer challenge is not Bitou Bush, but Gloriosa superba, Gloria Lily, which is creeping out of the ground right now and we are hoping to get it before it sets seed. This environmental weed, which is toxic to humans, is widespread along the NSW coast. It gets exposed after the Bitou Bush has been removed. We will be pulling it with our very committed volunteers at our site in Brunswick. However it made me think how all the thousands of hectares of Bitou Bush that are getting sprayed by helicopters are being managed for Gloria Lily. Are they following it up three times in a season? Are they going to do it with helicopters? More poison? Or it is just another bill that will be passed on for the next generations to deal with it, like the Bitou Bush mess, whose planting was advised by the government as a strategy to stabilise the coastal dunes after sand mining. Can we trust that government agencies now know what they are doing? Nadia de Souza Pietramale

Wiki Leaking Governments are throwing whoopee-tantrums about Julian Assange spying on their communications. Assange is only doing to governments what governments do to the public.

MP not on the bypass page Q

I refer to the letter by Dailan Pugh (Echo, November 30) where he makes a number of erroneous statements. First, he alleges I am backing a Byron Bypass proposal being promoted by Byron Bay West Landowners Association, who are seeking a rezoning of their land. This is in fact not the case. Indeed these landowners do not support this bypass proposal, put forward by Mike Fletcher, mentioned in The Echo. I’m sure they would confirm this. Second, I make no apology for seeking to find a genuine solution to traffic congestion in Byron Bay. All proposals start out as exactly that – proposals. Assessments are then done to assess environmental and other impacts etc. There is no

For the record, the West Byron Landowners Association have not put such a proposal to Mr Page. The West Byron Project staff and landowners agree with both Mr Page and Mr Pugh that traffic management is a critical issue and we will continue to address traffic management as a priority but have not sought to engage in seeking outcomes such as that referred to in Mr Pugh’s letter.

but I wish to publicly express my support for Wikileaks and Julian Assange. The sheer mendacity of governments is often breathtaking, and the hideous corruption evident in Australian politics (Sydney Metro anyone?) hardly approaches that of the Great Powers. To have a ‘safe drop’ site where honest individuals can reach out to their fellow humanity is a treasure beyond compare. Julia Gillard wants him locked up, which just about sums her up. If we have a national hero affecting the world today, it is Assange. He is accused of crimes in Sweden. The timing of this appears suspicious. A light in the world may be about to be extinguished. Rage against its dying.

century, and that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future with sea-level rises due to global warming. The assessment is based on the fact that sea-walls do not stop this erosion, they just redistribute where it occurs. In the bay they reduce erosion immediately to their east and stop the erosion behind them, though they simply transfer the erosion that would have occurred to their western ends. This means that the beaches in front of them disappear and beaches to their west are severely eroded, with the effect diminishing with distance from the walls. So, according to the assessment, the extensive existing Belongil rock walls and rubble are removing the beach in front of them, accelerating erosion of Council lands wedged between them, accelerating erosion of the Belongil Spit, and causing significantly increased erosion of the roosting, feeding and nesting areas of a variety of threatened shorebirds in the mouth of Belongil Creek. This is the most important place left for shorebirds in Byron Shire, so it will be a real shame to make it wash away. Once again I ask Byron Shire Council to ensure detailed modelling is undertaken of the effects of the Belongil protection works on the future of the Belongil Estuary and the loss of habitat and nesting sites. A Species Impact Statement, funded by the Belongil landowners, is required to be prepared. I notice that Matt Hartley is still promoting his proposal to concrete our beaches and sand dunes. This latest assessment confirms that whatever sand is left will simply wash away unless he starts dredging the millions of cubic metres of replacement sand from the sand lobe off Cape Byron, though it now appears that this will affect the waves entering the bay, damaging the surf breaks and increasing erosion.

abuse of process by referring to a proposal. Third, the Liberal and National parties’ policy for the State Election in March 2011 is to abolish Part 3A of the EP&A Act and to allow local communities to have a say in decisions that directly affect them. This is in stark contrast to the current NSW Labor government’s actions over many years. Perhaps I should also remind Mr Pugh that it was a Coalition government that created the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the lead agency for protecting our environment.

Desexing success At the end of August Northern Rivers Animal Services (NRAS) NRAS) was pleased to announce a subsidised desexing program, aimed at helping cat and dog owners in the region and to prevent unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. To date it has been a fantastic success, with 49 dogs and 25 cats being desexed, and a few more ‘in the wings’! Lismore City Council had made a $2,000 donation towards this project, and so far Northern Rivers Animal Services has chipped in an additional $4,000+. It has also been gratifying to help another animal welfare group who referred a number of desexing requests our way (it is always good when groups can work together for the greater good). There is help available to cat and dog owners through an organisation called National Desexing Network. Many local vets support their subsidised desexing work, which is available throughout the year. For information check out www. ndn.org.au or chat to your vet. Northern Rivers Animal Services of course is always happy to advise or work with people to desex their animals.

Parklands issues

Cannabis, health problems and children Q Two weeks ago you published

a letter from me pointing out that any attempt to question our thoroughly dysfunctional drug prohibition laws will have you labelled as ‘soft on drugs’. Hans Lovejoy’s article critiquing the heavy-handed, and often illegal, policing of these laws has had our entire community labelled as advocating cannabis and ruining children’s lives by Helen O’Sullivan (Letters, November 30). Just to be clear, drugs are a major health problem in society. Dealing with them as a legal problem has created the second largest industry in the world, the second largest income in the world, illicit drugs. The drug prohibition laws are specifically intended to do that because prohibition always has that effect. Any support for these laws, and the subsequent heavy-handed policing, is being ‘soft on criminals’. If we are to have any hope of protecting our children from the dangers of drugs, they must be seen as a health and education issue because prohibition vastly increases the problems and dangers.

The controversial Part 3A application by North Byron Shire Parklands is now being determined by the NSW State Planning Dept. Proponents for the multi mega-festival site were seen around the Shire and beyond canvassing support. They held submission sessions at pubs, letterboxed glossy brochures even in a surprised Ballina, sent out mass emails to thousands on their database all over Australia to ‘bring Splendour back’ to the Shire, and produced Robin Harrison car bumper stickers with the Binna Burra same slogan. Oh, and I heard of startled tourists arriving at Q Our society has a very amthe airport being pressured for bivalent attitude to risk taking signatures. – especially in regard to the continued overleaf young. You can die or be se-

riously injured playing nearly any active sport and we accept the stiff necks, wonky knees and bad backs and the numerous operations performed on our sports heroes and normal recreational sports players as the necessary price you have to pay – but as a society we should never think of banning sport. We also accept applying pressure – and therefore stress – to our young people to do well in left brain activities such as doing well in exams. Despite a lot of people in Byron devoted to reclaiming the right brain our society on the whole has a deep distrust of the activities of the right brain. Helen O’Sullivan’s letter is a prime example of this fear and the unwillingness to deal with this aspect of the psyche. In her letter she conspicuously fails to mention that alcohol does far more damage than any other substance. I am also very dubious about claims that smoking cannabis causes any cognitive damage in adults whatsoever – though obviously we should try to discourage young people from experimenting too early in life just as we try to discourage young people from drinking alcohol too early – with little success. In fact unless we learn to view all drug taking as attempts at self medication drugs will remain a problem.

There can be psychic and creative gains in cannabis use – this is not acknowledged but Ms O’Sullivan is about demonising, not examining things objectively. It has also been my own and others’ observation that excessive cannabis use is nearly always an expression of social and psychic unease, not its cause. There was a program on Insight a couple of years ago which included an eminent cannabis researcher from NZ who had discovered that bad reaction to cannabis was genetically determined and was present in only one to two per cent of the population – about the same proportion of people who are genetically predisposed to be junkies or alcoholics. I would think also if cannabis use is so prevalent in Byron Shire, why aren’t there more problems than there are – though I acknowledge that drawing smoke into the lungs is not good for the health. More prohibition seems to be the solution proposed by Helen O’Sullivan. Surely we know now that prohibition causes more damage than the illegal substances themselves and also doesn’t work. We should acknowledge the risks involved but allow our young people the freedom to explore the function of the right right side of the brain

and recognise the importance of this process in development as whole human beings. Drug taking is only one aspect of this process, I might add, and not a necessary one in all cases. David Gilet

Byron Bay Q I’d love to know where Helen O’Sullivan got her figures from re pot smoking being responsible for 20 per cent of road trauma, marriage breakdown, child neglect/abuse and domestic violence. Having also been ‘sadly involved’ with substance abuse victims while working for the Red Cross in Sydney in the early 90s, I can sympathise with her experience. However the figures she offers are seriously tame. Substitute the word Alcohol for Pot and then change the 20 per cent to 85 per cent – that’s the reality we were dealing with. Today this reality exists here in Byron as well as Sydney – and every other major and minor centre in the ‘civilised’ world. So I regard Mr Lovejoy’s article as an observation more of wasted police resources rather than a support for cannabis use. Everyone knows perfectly well what the real problem is. Were schoolies with armfuls of liquor stopped and searched? Oh no, that’s fine in our ridicu-

lously unbalanced society. Regarding the education of children, I quite agree with Helen, they are led primarily by example. In the mid nineties my teenage kids started experiencing the pot culture at their schools, so I decided to educate them. It was interesting watching the result: within weeks of our discussion they began bringing friends around who also wanted to learn about this feted ‘drug’ which was so popular. We ended up with about 15 kids in the garden discussing the obvious, simple educative reality of pot smoking. This substance must be treated with the ultimate respect. It is not a joke. Just as fine single malt whiskey is measured out and consumed reverently in small glasses, so the cannabis experience should be the same, must be the same. If abused it will cause great harm to the physical and mental structure of the victim, simple as that. Those lost souls looking to cannabis for the ultimate release from their personal trauma will soon find the same end as the drunk, a dissolution of body and mind. My advice to all the schoolkids was the same, tread very carefully, use with respect and remember nature’s most important lesson… moderation in all things. David Roupell

Letters continued from page 15

Although the proponents are well within their rights to seek support for their venture, it is important for those registering support to fully understand the issues related to the proposal and the site in question. I suspect not all their supporters met that criterion. I sincerely hope that the Department of Planning will see through this campaign and will realise that many support Splendour in Byron Shire but not in a highly environmentally sensitive area. Also, the applicants should have adhered to the Byron Council Events Policy and should have

held a truly all-inclusive community consultation (neither happened). Finally, the submissions from locals who really studied the proposal, including many community associations and environmental groups, ought to hold more weight both with the proponents and with the DoP than the views of party animals from elsewhere.

No respect How lucky we are to be living in such a wonderful place. Byron Bay and its surroundings receive the highest praise. An

alternative lifestyle, organic markets and Steiner schools. The locals around here must be very conscious and caring people, according to the weekly ads and news in The Echo. Yoga classes, physical, mental and spiritual therapies, shiatsu and all this other New Age stuff. We really must be living in a evolved community. But meanwhile I start to have my doubts about all of this. Many of you probably know our Happy Organics store on Goonengerry Road. For 15 years this little honesty box roadside store provided yummy 100 per cent uncertified organic produce, including our

famous chilli sauces and the much loved Wild Marmalade. Sadly, thanks to some unethical and dishonest personalities, our Happy Organics store is now closed. In the last few weeks we got regularly cleaned out with just a couple of five cent coins in the box. We are properly disgusted. We understand that the odd jar of jam is going walkabout with some stoned hippy-crite on the munchies. But, if flower arrangements and decorative plants are taken by the dozens, then we really ask ourselves for whom we are investing all our positive energy. Some strange people daily

You may not notice, but ev- Cycling on the road ery time you walk past a plas- I would like to reply to the tic bag or some fishing line question raised by David you have killed, polluted, or Horner in last week’s letters pages: why do cyclists ride on the road when bike paths are provided? There are probably several answers, but one explanation is simple. Bike paths are shared with pedestrians, and are only suitable for cyclists travelling at lower speeds. Some councils have signs stipulating a 20km/h limit on bike paths for the safety of those on foot; cyclists on lightweight road bikes can often spin along at speeds in excess of 30km/h. Although there is no speed limit on our bike paths, they can be an obstacle course for faster cyclists at times. Bike paths are desperately needed in the Byron Shire for recreational cyclists, commuters, families, schoolkids – and pedestrians. But there is a widely-held misconception that these tracks are supposed to cater for all cyclists, and this is unfortunately not true. There will always be cyclists on our roads. I agree with those letter writers a few weeks ago calling for consideration and flexibility on the part of both drivers and cyclists for each other. When I am riding, I try to avoid holding up traffic where I can, but it’s not always avoidable. When I am driving, it doesn’t wreck my day to slow down behind a cyclist for a few seconds, and give them a wide berth when passing. I also urge Byron Shire Council to make wide shoulders a bigger priority when upgrading our roads.

Who are we and where are we going? Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham takes a look at our community in a time of change ith the Global Financial Crisis and the high Australian dollar impacting on business and particularly tourism, there’s much talk about the need to promote and market Byron. However, that raises the issue of who we are and what we are marketing. Is quality of life for locals a consideration, or is the economy now our defining principle? In the past we have seen Byron Bay look to tourism as an economic saviour after the close of the meatworks in 1983. The popularity of the town had been defined by the surfing community who found the breaks reliable and with a few famous surfers living in the area, it gained its place in the surfing culture. In 1988, Byron Shire Council adopted a Tourism Plan that defined the area as a low key, natural environment, popular as a family destination that offered low cost holidays. In 1991, the Beach Hotel opened.

corridors of native vegetation, sustainable agriculture and so much more. The vision statement translated into a community push to get pro-sustainability candidates for the 1995 election. A new council adopted a future vision in 1996 that was eventually titled ‘A Greenprint for a Sustainable Future’.

Byron Shire’s earlier economic history was of environmental destruction and extraction – including cedar cutting, dairying, whaling and abattoirs as its employment base. But these days have passed and now Byron looks to tourism as the economic driver and attracts surfers, social changers, sea changers and new ideas. In 1989, the international tourism corporation Club Med purchased land just west of Byron Bay (known as the old Globetrotters site and more recently known as Becton). It proposed an ‘enclave’ development in the style of all its other global destinations, the archetypal ‘homogenised’ tourist product. The Council said yes, but the community said no. It was a time in Byron where many new arrivals, including myself, were relocating to the small coastal villages and hinterland, escaping from the consumption-driven mindset of the cities to the local ‘free thinking’ culture. But the thought of a multinational tourism giant descending on the coastal community was not the future that the majority of the community embraced. The entrance of the high-profile tourist model led to a united ‘greenie’ and business opposition. Byron Environment Centre initiated a campaign and then a new group, Byron Shire Businesses for the Future (BSBF), emerged to tackle the giant. A large section of the community was united, clear about what it didn’t want the future to look like and also determined to dewww.echo.net.au

This was a persuasive signal that Byron was a special place. to others that the doors were open and other like operators would follow. The analysis of the business model revealed that there was little benefit to the local community as Club Med was an ‘enclave’ development that offered an all inclusive pre-paid holiday. The multi-national’s business priority was to capture every dollar possible; the development included shops and restaurants on site and discouraged exploration of the surrounding community except as an organised activity.

United opposition When local businesses realised what this would mean, they saw the sense in joining with the conservation movement who opposed the development on environmental grounds, and so a broad, social, economic and environmental opposition to a multinational was established. It’s ironic that this stand against a multinational resulted in a viral marketing campaign that sent out a strong

Community says no This established a statement of identity. It created international interest that a community was driven to protect a place it valued and that the vision the community held was one that sought to exclude multinationals. It was at this time that another major corporate tried to get into the Bay, but McDonald’s received the same treatment as Club Med. No. These were the days when the community was engaged in an empowered self-defining phase and street marches and slogan t-shirts emerged with every campaign. The BSBF campaign went on for four years; I was secretary for that time and Cr Richard Staples was also a key player. We sat in court for four days as all issues were considered and on the basis of an inadequate environmental assessment by the developer the community won. The council of the day was seen as pro-development and the united front that resulted from the anti-Club Med cam-

The community had been informed and inspired by the United Nations ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio in 1992 when Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) was given priority and a group of locals travelled to Rio to campaign for whale protection.

Protecting nature

the private land to the north that CONOS campaigned to protect is now the Billinudgel Nature Reserve. There were many other conservation groups who were active against development pressure including Broken Head Protection Association, which thwarted the massive expansion of the quarry in the courts. Most local communities were involved in the development of Local Area Management Plans (LAMPs) that informed future planning strategies. The identity and lifestyle of the area didn’t just happen; it resulted from rigorous and persistent campaigns that assessed and challenged that which was deemed unacceptable or harmful to the environment and the amenity of the Shire. The other side of this activism was the intense involvement by many to research and contribute to the development of the plans and strategies that guide our future.

Spirited away by a molecule

Dalai Lama blesses local project

Rak Razam

A Kalachakra Stupa for World Peace is to be built at the Crystal Castle. A stupa is a religious monument built by the Tibetan Buddhists to represent Bhudda’s enlightened nature. The spiritual benefits of stupas are described in ‘the Kangyur’, texts believed to contain Buddha’s original teachings. The stupa at Crystal Castle will be a rare form with a spherical body known as a Kalachakra stupa. It is only the seventh of its kind to be built in the world and the first in Australia. The dream of building a stupa began in 2003 when Crystal Castle owners, Naren and Sono King, were visiting the Buddhist sacred sites in Borobudur, Java. ‘We were touched and inspired by the beauty and energy of these monuments. Last February we travelled to Dharamsala in India for a private audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and were delighted to receive His Holiness’s blessings for the project. We were requested to build the rare Kalachakra stupa which is specifically for restoring balance to the Earth in times of war, conflict and environmental destruction.’ The stupa will be created under the guidance of the Gyuto Monks of Tibet who will carry out the ceremonies required at each stage of the construction and the intricate sculpture and artwork to adorn it. The eight-metre structure will be filled with sacred objects, scriptures and relics. ‘Recently in Kathmandu a

It may seem like shipping coals to Newcastle, but after over 40 years of (well, relative) dormancy, a new psychedelic revolution has emerged, and it’s coming to Byron Bay. The Spirit Molecule, a documentary described as a ‘psychedelic Baraka meets What the Bleep do We Know’, presents an intriguing discourse on the science of the soul, and will undoubtedly open Pandora’s Box when it screens in the Shire on December 16 at the Byron Bay Community Centre. By challenging current misconceptions about DMT, a molecule naturally produced abundantly throughout the plant and animal kingdoms, The Spirit Molecule unravels fascinating parallels in neurology, quantum physics and human spirituality. Written and directed by independent documentary maker Mitch Schultz, The Spirit Molecule examines the story of Dr Rick Strassman, who conducted the first US government-sanctioned, human psychedelic research with DMT in New Mexico in the early 1990s. Regarded as the world’s most potent psychoactive compound by scientists and psychedelic explorers alike, dimethyltryptamine (or DMT) is also naturally produced in the human brain. ‘I first tried DMT in 2002… and within 15 seconds I had a death experience,’ says Schultz. ‘After a minute or two I popped out into a large dome covered in geodesic patterns and this entity appeared… She played back and forth with me and showed me how to move, even get rid of space-time, in a way… DMT really changed me as an individual and how I approach life. It caused me to question and then rectify the things that I felt needed changing. That’s why I made this film and that’s what I wanted to share.’ In stylised scenes reminiscent of Rod Sterling’s Twilight Zone bookends, Joe Rogan (Fear Factor), alongside an impressive collection of

accomplished minds and a group of Strassman’s own brave psychonauts, shepherds the audience through the great unknowns of the DMT experience, revealing the molecule’s ubiquitous nature, its role in our culture, evolution and life itself. And yet, how do you represent something as visual as the DMT experience on film? ‘Well, you just try and approximate it as best you can, especially for a broader audience that hasn’t had these experiences, you try and give a glimpse of what it can be,’ Schultz says. ‘It’s not just about the visuals in the DMT realm, there’s an emotional content which is loaded into us. ‘As human beings we’re all capable of mystical experience. [Through this documentary] we’re getting the idea of DMT back out into the public consciousness again, and that’s the first step… I hope this documentary opens up awareness of the spiritual ways we can use these compounds for self-discovery…’ Could dimethyltryptamine, a simple molecule with a complex name, hold the key to understanding reality, consciousness and our relationship to both? Is DMT at the nexus of a next-generation mystical revival, or is it just another hippie fad? Can you dig it, Byron Bay?

The King family meets the Dalai Lama.

monastery gifted us with a complete collection of the Buddha’s teachings, 108 volumes of sacred scrolls, as well as the teachings of the first Dalai Lama,’ reported Naren. The local community will be invited to contribute a wide range of objects that symbolise the functioning, survival and prosperity of a good society. Forty brass prayer wheels, known as ‘Mani’ wheels, are currently being handmade by a family of traditional craftsmen in Kathmandu. Each prayer wheel when finished will contain over 130,000 Om Mani Padme Hum mantras. Symbolic of community strength and interdependence, Tibetans believe contributing to the building of a stupa is one of the most auspicious things one can do in this lifetime. Once built, great benefit is thought to be gained from walking clockwise around it. The mere sight of a stupa is said to put one in touch with one’s

own innate goodness inspiring compassion, kindness and thus ultimately good karma. Involvement of the community is an essential part of creating a stupa. During the Gyuto monks’ previous visits both locals and visitors, mostly the children, have already created 600-700 Buddha statues made from clay to be sealed inside the monument. Everyone is welcome at the Crystal Castle on Friday 10th December 10 at 11am when the Gyuto Monks of Tibet and local Indigenous people will bless the site, remove obstacles and seek permission from the local spirits to proceed with the construction of the monument. There will be free entry for everyone coming to the ceremony. According to Gen Lama Thupten Phuntsok, Gyuto Monk elder, ‘This stupa is very important for Byron Bay, the whole of Australia and for world peace.’

world changes this area is under increasing pressure. It’s now an important time to reflect on what the future holds for the Byron Shire. Our achievements have been many, but often overlooked or taken for granted. They include the maintenance of the low scale built environment, protection of the natural environment, respect and support for Aboriginal self-determination, commitment to social justice and the interest and encouragement of artistic and cultural diversity, as well as a prolonged strong engagement in political processes. In achieving these outcomes we have defined a place of difference that has resulted in it being an iconic tourism destination. But it has also become a place of high-priced real estate that has led to a crisis in housing for many in our community. We have high unemployment as tourism jobs are often taken by the transient travellers or are part time positions. In the Shire the major tourism town of Byron Bay is being taken over by franchise stores as the rents and

<echowebsection=Articles>

key money for retail stores is beyond most local businesses. The disregard for signage rules has resulted in a proliferation of advertising and a look that resembles a commercial suburban centre, not a destination of creativity. The issue of alcohol and its impacts and the growing media perception of Byron Bay as a party town create negative messages that discourage many people we had hoped to attract. The close proximity to the high population centre of southern Queensland brings the daily and weekend travellers who contribute to traffic congestion on the single road entering the town while the locals are without commuter transport.

Redefine the future Then there is the impact of tourism in residential areas, the unregulated use of homes for short-term tourism while neighbours suffer under the noise and loss of community amenity. So how can we redefine our future? We need to work together

and engage the support of the commercial sector to respond to the values of the broader community to support local businesses and traders, develop additional industries, support emerging creative industries. We must recognise the pressures of tourism on a community that deserves to be respected rather than exploited. The diversification of our economy is essential to ensure future jobs for youth. The challenges of providing a safe space, employing locals, caring for those in need, protecting the environment and supporting local producers must be addressed. The focus of tourism must be on attracting people who respect our area and come for more than a day. To treat a location as a commodity does not bode well for a sustainable future. We need a unified goal that retains the uniqueness of Byron Shire and is not traded in the short term for a quick dollar. We must consider carefully and respectfully the allure of the Byron brand in order to retain the community richness that appeals to locals and visitors alike. www.echo.net.au

Brown; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is an immensely satisfying way of making a positive contribution to our natural environment and the community.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

In Byron Shire there are seven volunteer dunecare groups, made up of local people from various walks of life, who work with Byron Council and other groups to protect our beach and dune environments and conserve threatened species.

Dune stabilisation is a priority and dunecare groups plant native trees, shrubs and groundcovers as well as fence off remnant vegetation. Some groups have received smalll funding grants from government agencies to assist with environmental repair on their sites.

Byron Shire has pockets of littoral rainforest (rainforest by the sea) and is listed as a threatened ecological plant community. Unfortunately there are threats such as infestations of environmental weeds, which if left uncontrolled will heavily compete with our native vegetation.

Dunecare groups meet for regular working bees and training days. Information is shared among participants and lots of invaluable work is completed. Everyone is welcome and participants beneďŹ t from the rewards of becoming involved in an active community environmental group like Dunecare.

During working bees volunteer dune carers may undertake various tasks including planting, weeding, mulching, seed collection, plant propagation and dune fencing. According to Suffolk Park dune carer Helen

With this in mind, the Ambulance Service of New South Wales would like to remind the public to look after themselves and others. An individual may not necessarily set out to drink a lot and may be unaware of their limits. This can result in drinking too much over a short time. Binge drinking can expose you to injury or to unnecessary risks to yourself and others. If you drink too much, you may put yourself in situations which might be dangerous, embarrassing or which you may later regret. You are more likely to take risks and make bad decisions.

Reconstructive care helps you make long-term changes to your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure and function. As the seasons change and with the onset of the cold weather our bodies have to adapt. Wellness care helps the body to stay supple and the nervous system to respond to this challenge.

Good news for Northern Rivers families Tweed District Dental has recently opened its privately owned holistic Dental Care Practice, providing ďŹ ne dentistry for all members of your family. Both Dr Chris Jackson and Dr Inta Rudajs have trained locally and internationally. Both are highly skilled and experienced with a wide range of treatment options and solutions. They place particular emphasis on the early growth and development of children. Myofunctional therapy with strong nasal breathing enhances wellness and learning potential, and correct tongue posture creates more ideal jaw and tooth positioning. Children from approximately four years of age can be helped with simple myofunctional therapy.

Dr Chris Jackson says there is an alternative to waiting until your children are older, without missing the epigenetic opportunity for growth potential. Likewise for adults, Dr Inta Rudajs, formerly of Mullumbimby, has developed a special interest in treating chronic facial pain, related to temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) dysfunction. She has received training with Dr Steve Olmos from the USA and also with Dr Joseph Da Cruz, who, together with Dr John Diamond, has developed a unique orthodontic appliance called the S Soma.

Did you know that the first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people? ATLAS PRO FILAXÂŽ by RenĂŠ C. Schuemperli

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

To take a giant step towards your health and wellbeing, contact Sidika Ashauer, Brunswick Heads clinic. 0427 805 405 www.pain-free-me.com

Raghida

Raghida has extensive knowledge of the four directions and how we can move through them and transcend our way of being from the personal to the transpersonal. This is considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Shamans Way of Healingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Make our personal journey Archetypal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NEVER processing through our physical being anymore. Illumination of the Soul/Higher MInd by accessing higher parts of our brain, shifting from a default of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Reptilianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;limbic brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and moving in to and learning to default from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Neo Cortexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or even better the Pre-fontal lobes (God brain), where the new hormonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;somaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is produced from. Here we access the part of us that IS the philosopher, creative mind, visionary, sage and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Place of our becomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the new humans; growing new bodies, aging differently, living differently, healing differently and most importantly dying differently. When we learn to activate our higher powers and access circular time the medicine men and women (lineage of Shamans) can and do assist us on levels incomprehensible to the mental mind. Here live in synchronicity, oneness, wholeness, completeness and true Authenticity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; connection to the invisible and natural world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a place that rings TRUE to each and every one of us on a blueprint frequency and within every pump of our heartbeats.

Not just your stock standard Christmas fare. At Jack Sprat’s Butchery we pride ourselves on providing the very best quality and stock products that are a little bit different from what you will find in other butchers or the supermarket. Our turkeys are fresh, never frozen, which ensures they are flavoursome and tender. Last year our turduckens (a boneless chicken stuffed into a boneless duck stuffed into a boneless turkey with layers of seasoning in between) were very popular. These make Christmas lunch an absolute feast and any combination of birds is possible, such as six birds with guinea fowl, squab and quail in addition to the duck, chicken and turkey. We produce our own traditionally smoked leg hams, including Sweet Pork Bangalow hams which are very moist and tasty. This year we also have a limited number of local (Byron Bay) ‘Sunforest’ ORGANIC hams. In addition, our whole suckling pigs are perfect for slow roasting on a rotisserie. If you don’t want a whole turkey or ham we have fresh turkey or pork roulades with sumptuous apple and prune or cranberry and chestnut seasoning. Our large sausage coils (duck, pork and pistachio or turkey, cranberry and chestnut) add some flair to any Christmas BBQ. Or for a real treat, try our locally produced parfaits and terrines. The pheasant with turkey, chestnut, port and wild berry terrine is to die for as is the duck parfait, wrapped in prosciutto, with red wine and shallot glaze. Located at 2/26 Minjungbal Drive, South Tweed Heads. Phone 07 5524 1311.

Put these on your wish list! All homegrown. For a limited time we are offering 25 per cent off. These make the perfect gift for weddings, Christmas, christenings or a special gift for yourself! A unique gift for a special occasion. The warmth of light, the beauty of nature, delicately hand carved, enlivening colours, art with ambience...elegance handcrafted. 8/18 Centennial Cct, Byron Bay 0408 766 546 or visit www.juleshunt.com.

Byron Bay resident Peter Duke has produced a beautiful hard cover book entitled Byron Bay: The History, Beauty and Spirit, full of photos and stories, chronicling the story of the town from 1900 until now.

What inspired you to create Byron Bay: The History, Beauty and Spirit?

I was first inspired by the Bay, the mountains and the beauty, the ocean. I spent the first six months renting at Wategos ($300p/w small 3 bedroom unit). I never wanted to leave (damn the developer). No more than 100m to the beach. Surf, fresh fish, North Coast living. For the many of us who have had a love affair with this WOW. After living in USA and Kuala Lumpur for a few peculiar coastal village, the book tells an evocative years, I forgot what godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country was like, godesses story of the evolution of place. Seven caught up with a very enthusiastic and ecstatic Peter whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just taken everywhere. The inspiration snowballed once I got to know the story, the town and the people... delivery of his books.

What first brought you to Byron Bay? My Ford Laser. I was disillusioned with life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d given up (true). I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go sit on the beach, surf, maybe flog real estate. Whatever, just go. Never been here before. Felt great and stayed...

How did you go about collecting the images and the stories? I started at the local fishing tackle shop. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the info hub of any coastal town. Got given my bearings with the oldies. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here forever. The contemporary can wait (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going anywhere). The oldies here in Byron Bay are like the salt of the earth, not one

TOTAL DISCLOSURE: WIKILEAKS, OPRAH, AND YOU. When it comes to global ironies, this week takes the cake. Lismore boy Julian Assange has become the World’s Most Wanted with what is being called ‘information terrorism’ with the revelations he has been unveilling on his WikiLeaks site. I’m so proud. A Lismore boy. See there’s really a lot more to us than just bongs, thongs and conspiracy theories. Suddenly Lismore is on the map, and I can guarantee that Mr Putin won’t be puttin’ a foot there. World leaders decry Assange’s work as illegal and dangerous. He is the new Osama. Although he’s not blowing up buildings and taking out skyscrapers full of Americans. Oh no. Instead, he’s created the architecture for a systematic dismantling of the bullshit and spin that politicians, corporations and bureaucrats have used to shroud the truth. He is the Robin Hood of the Information Superhighway, using the world wide web to circulate the truth to all, not just the privileged. According the the Sheriff, the Truth, while on the one hand supposed to set us free, is in fact dangerous and not a substance that we mere mortals can fully comprehend. Imagine if the stupid people of Planet Earth actually got to know how their leaders really operated and what they really thought! Where the average human ant is expected to be accountable to the rules and morality of their modest social nest it would appear that there are very different rules for the big ants. Big ants rule. Big ants don’t want the little ants to know what is going on. If they do, then the big ants can’t get away with it any more. This is the first part of the irony as it strikes me. The truth is bad. It could cause terrible conflicts. Even war. Yet, the whole of Sydney is closing down this week when talk show Queen, the Dame of Disclosure, Oprah, hits Aussie soil. She’s being afforded foreign dignity status. A police escort and a government security detail. Have we all gone completely mad? She’s not Henry Kissinger. She’s not Nelson Mandela or Mother Theresa. She’s an American talk show

host who heads a billion dollar company. Yes, she’s an enigma in the world of pop culture. But so is Madonna. And Ozzy Osborne. I don’t think the Aussie public should be coughing up for the full monty when it comes to security. If she wants a real Aussie experience, then get a panel van full of yobbos to tail her and do donuts outside the Opera House. No one will come near her then. The irony is this. Julian Assange, who set up WikiLeaks back in 2006, a non-profit media organisation dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public, is being hunted to bring a stop to his disclosure. He’s a global security threat. But Oprah, the Queen of disclosure, is being afforded our highest level of security! What secret is she protecting? Some Lismore bloke shines the light on Russian corruption and the US government’s foreign activities and Oprah arrives to shoot the breeze with Keith and Nicole. He’s being hunted, she’s being adulated. I’m over this whole Oprah business. It sickens me to see how susceptible we are to American hype. TV will not change your life. Winning a car will not make you a better person. And sorry, but having Oprah coming out to Australia won’t do anything except make another hour of telly. Oprah’s just a very wealthy woman plagued by her social conscience. It must be such a battle. Being a battler herself, Oprah is intending to get with the ‘real’ Australians by staying with a real family. How bloody patronising. What kind of ‘real’ family is Oprah after? A single mum with four kids and a crystal meth habit? An alcoholic dad who likes to whack mum around? Or an indigenous family living in a tin shed in Central Australia without even the basic essential of running water? No? What about a real family living in nice modest middle class comfort in Potts Point? Hey, here’s an idea, Oprah. Why not look up the Assange family and arrange a stay in Lismore? Then you’ll see how powerful, world-changing disclosure really works!

complaint over the years of yarns! Makes us sound like a pack of whingers... walked into to one guy’s house – a fisherman’s house (the first time we met), been there 5 minutes. He takes a beautiful big framed picture off the wall. Grabs a knife from the kitchen. Cuts the back out of the frame. Hands me two BEAUTIFUL photos (which appear in the book) and he says, ‘drop ‘em back when you’re done’. Barry Baxter, legend. That spirit’s still here!

What about the stories or pics that didn’t make it...did you have to be ruthless? You just know when you see them, makes your heart sing (same with the stories, they resonate somehow). Most of the significant ones were in really good nick. There’s a lot more images about though. If the historical societies in the shire agree we could make a web site called Byron Bay Living History and make a big resource online.

Do you think that the Byron Bay we have now has lost some of the romance of the Byron of old? Sure, it’s lost some charm, yet the ealry days were tough as. The 20s look charming; in the 60-70s at Christmas the whole town came together. Every child would get a present (no one would miss out). There was a real good feeling here, a really close

knit community. But don’t forget, the lads used to brawl in the sand hills, those from one side of town would have big barneys with their opposite numbers.... We’ve also gained a heap too. The blood’s dried up, no whaling, no big industry. We have the remains of the largest subtropical rainforest in the world! The people are great! And it rubs off. If you think Byron sucks (fair enough), I enjoy talking with visitors and they love it here. They bring heaps of goodness (less a few dickheads).

What or who was the most valuable resource in putting this book together? Me of course, and the Bay. It saved my life!

Why did you choose to self-publish? No publisher would touch it. All of them said Byron’s too small. I’m glad, ‘cause secretly I would never have let them touch it. They’d cut it up and make it way too woofty.

Where can people get your book? Byron Bay and Mullumbimby book shops, plus Bangalow Newsagency, Book Warehouse Ballina and Lismore, Cape Byron Lighthouse shop and online www.byronbaybook.com. Books are in the shop now.

Hit the Trypswytch The sweet and the subversive meet this Friday at an auspicious gathering of poets, musicians and artists at the South Golden Beach Community Centre. Trypswytch are a noise jam band re-interpreting and re-organising sounds through the experiâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; mental guitar of Max Volume and Daevid Allen, with the spoken word of femme fatales Stefanie Petrik, Bek, and Emma Ryan.

Smash it up The Vaudeville Smash have just been invited to travel America to the home of Vaudeville, to play at South by South West. Held once a year in Austin Texas, is one of the biggest music festivals/conferences of its type in the world. Bands from all over the planet converge in this one spot to play and mingle. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to their last Beachy appearance, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let this show pass you by. A unique blend of funk, percussion, horns, sitcom themes, rich harmonies, amazing improvised solos and onstage antics. Saturday at the Beach Hotel.

Soler Power Andrea Solerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is a refreshing, unique yet traditional take on indie folk. Hers is a gentle jazz infused, at times tropical, at times melancholic swathe of sound. Universal in that it touches upon a broad roll call of genres and influences. She is joined by support act JessĂŠ Witney, a dynamic, expressive, cross-cultural musician with a healthy appreciation of World Music. His song writing draws from a place of positivity, introspective yet inquisitive about the world and his place within it. Thursday at the Byron Brewery at 7pm.

The inimitable Daevid will play an acoustic guitar set with string goddess Laura Targett on violin and rhythm maestro Greg Sheehan on percussion. Sultry pianist and songtress Vasudha teams up with guitar fiend Jem Edwards, embellishing finely crafted songs with free improvisation. The evening will feature local performance poets and live video visuals remixed by Stefanie Petrik. This collision of moods and styles is a beachside happening not to be missed! A nominal fee gets you through the door and the action kicks off at 7pm.

MANDY’S STAND UP COMEDY CLASS PERFORMING AT THE BYRON THEATRE AT THE COMMUNITY CENTRE ON TUESDAY

Kids’ Comedy Club Just eight weeks ago I kicked off a brand new initiative: Funny School. This weekly workshop teaches children from 8 to 12 years how to craft their own stand up comedy routines. With a focus on using your own life for inspiration, developing the capacity for critical thinking, improvisation and learning how to reframe life’s challenges. This is a rare opportunity for children to find their own voice and talk about the issues that affect them. Issues that came up were: overbearing teachers, rules about bedtime, being bullied, having headlice, annoying little brothers, not being allowed to swear, and the tyranny of parents who make you brush your teeth. The workshop is primarily about being funny and creating stand up comedy, but it has lots of other benefits. Some of the children doing the workshop were very shy at the start and would have never considered doing something like this.

In a few short weeks they became confident and full of opinions. It’s so inspiring! I tell them that this is a ‘free’ space to come up with ideas and that I won’t censor them. I also won’t tell their parents or teachers what they say. They go mad for a week or two, and then they start settling into their newly found creative freedom. The children will be presenting their comedy routines at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre on Tuesday December 14 at 6.30pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for kids and $40 for a family and can be purchased at the door. I am the MC, and can assure you this is a great gig for kids and adults!

Queer Films Coming An outstanding program of international queer films will be screened at the Star Court Theatre, Lismore on Wednesday, December 29 - Thursday, December 30, the perfect prequel to Tropical Fruits’ New Year’s Eve party. At the close of the call for entries, GLBTIQ filmmakers from 15 countries internationally and every state in Austraiia had submitted films for the 2010 Festival. Queer Fruits Film Festival is the only regionally produced GLBTIQ film festival in Australia, which began in 2009, through a unique collaboration between Lismore community group Tropical Fruits Inc. and Festival Director Akkadia Ford. Tropical Fruits had previously screened films at their world renowned New Year’s party and had a dream for this to be expanded into a stand-alone event. Akkadia had just completed work on the 15th WOW Film Festival in Sydney (for Women in Film and Television NSW) and enthusiastically began the complex process of establishing and running Queer Fruits Film Festival as an international screen culture event,

fully supported by the Australian screen and creative industry and the GLBTIQ community. In addition to the shorts and documentary programs, the festival has secured two premiere queer features to screen, with the Australian/ Pacific premiere of Trip by Romanian Director Florina Titz in a new late night session on Thursday December 30 and a new Side-Bar Screening also on Thursday December 30. Filmmakers are travelling from around Australia to attend. San Fransisco Director xuxE will be in attendance for the World Premiere screening of her film Devious Inc.

The Byron Shire Echo December 7, 2010 35

joyously cynical but innocent film that I have seen for ages. Wearing a fire-engine red helmet and with an enormous How would you visualise hunting rifle slung over his Santa’s helpers? As benign, shoulder, Pietari is a ten-yearcheery, tubby little fellows? old boy who lives with his Jalmari Helander presents them as grubby, long-bearded, widowed father in the wintry forests of Lapland. Their tiny cantankerous old blokes who community subsists by herding are all naked. And there are hundreds of them – the sight of and slaughtering reindeer – when there is no meat to put them, en masse, haring across on the table, Pietari gets by on the snowy slopes in the buff a diet of gingerbread biscuits is extraordinary. The Finnish director’s Christmas offering is, baked by his dad. A stone’s throw away is the Russian without shadow of doubt, the border and on the other side of weirdest, most macabre and

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

it a mining company has been drilling deep into a mountain that turns out to be the last resting place of the frozen Santa Claus. Taking a pee one morning, Pietari notices that something has fallen into the pit that had been dug to trap wolves, but instead of a wolf it has snared the first of the noncommunicative, cadaverous helpers. Making it completely and convincingly surreal, Helander keeps a straight face and disavows silliness, employing humour that is dry in the extreme as the helpers go about abducting children and stealing the villagers’ radiators and hair-dryers to thaw out Santa. (‘Why would they take my wife’s hair dryer? That’s cutting edge technology in Russia.’). Onni Tommila, resembling a young Shirley MacLaine in his cuteness, is loveable and resolute as the tiny hero who stands tall in the crisis that he believes he is responsible for, while his real life father Jorma Tommila is excellent as the battler whose inspired idea is a perfect fit for our materialistic festive season. Best of all, by allowing Pietari, his dad and off-sider to establish the business of sending their rare exports worldwide, Helander passes the ultimate test of staying true to his vision and not, as I prayed he wouldn’t, collapsing at the end into ‘heart-warming’ mush. A classically constructed story told in eighty-four streamlined minutes, with crisp photography and richly textured design (the slaughterhouse is an interior

of horrible beauty), this is different from anything else you will have encountered this year. A fabulous movie, literally and figuratively – I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. ~John Campbell

Red is a film about a group of retired CIA agents; it features Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren (who features in a memorable scene where she wields a semi-automatic weapon while wearing a white evening dress.) This could be another fine example of that new genre - the old fogies’ action movie. The film begins with a bored Bruce Willis eking out a life in suburban Cleveland Ohio and clearly not liking it. But then all hell breaks loose when a gang of assassins tries to take him out….from then on the movie moves at a pace. While this movie is richly endowed with big names, you come away imbued with the happy thought that they all left their egos at home and enjoyed the project. ~Lounge Cinema

Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

Is that … ? Yes, it is! Gary Sweet as the captain of the Dawn Treader, with an oo-arrr Cornish accent to boot. That’s what can happen when a big budget movie is shot in Oz. Sweet is not asked to do a lot, other than look seaworthy and staunch as he transports Lucy (Georgie Henley), her brother Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and their initially obnoxious cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) to the very edge of the Kingdom of Narnia. I’ve not read CS Lewis, but I confess a preference for his imagined world to JK Rowling’s. The Narnia films (admittedly, this is only the third) have been brighter and more optimistic than those of the Harry Potter saga and, for the casual viewer who is not committed to following a complex, ongoing narrative, they are more accessible for being self-contained. There are, of course, constant characters other than the children – handsome Caspian (Ben Barnes) is still the Prince of Narnia and Aslan the Lion its divine head, but you don’t need to know what happened in the previous installment to become engrossed in the latest – which I was thoroughly.

The 3D

seems hit and miss, being sometimes gimmicky and, as a result, disorienting, and I’m yet to be convinced that the technique has been perfected outside of the animated feature. The colour, too, is uneven and I often wanted to adjust the brightness. But as odysseys go, this is a ripper. Lewis’s avowed religiosity has been a controversial theme in the series – Christianity is the softest of targets for critics who champion nihilism and any credo that is not part of their own culture – and it comes home here with a blinding light as Caspian, the kids and the swashbuckling rat arrive at the entrance to Aslan’s after-life. An unashamedly sentimental scene, it provoked the deep silence that can descend on a rapt audience and, as a non-believer, I was more than happy to luxuriate in its spirituality. ~John Campbell

E ARIES: Take care of as much business as you can before end of week Mercury retrogrades for the rest of December. Having this head start will put you in a saner state to deal with the cornucopia of conundrums and complications retro Mercury likes to vex us with. F TAURUS: With Venus giving your bedroom stars extra oomph there are plenty of temptations with your name on, but this is also the year’s last week for negotiating favourable terms and conditions in financial and professional arenas so the cleverest Taurans will work now, play later. G GEMINI: It’s easy to be snappy and reactive to this week’s edgy energy, harder but much smarter to relentlessly direct it towards supportive outcomes. On no account start arguments, take risks or drink drive, otherwise you could have some serious explaining to do. H CANCER: This week’s biggest ask is to look after your health. Second biggest is not getting upset by people who don’t understand the difference between assertive and offensive. And third is not taking mishaps and setbacks personally because they’re affecting everyone, not just you. I LEO: This week’s birthday writer Samuel Butler believed the principal business of life is to enjoy it, and the best way to navigate professional pressures, domestic disruptions and the xmas rush and still get the affection you want is to seduce others with humour – your forte, after all. J V IRGO: Your ruling planet retrograding on Friday for the next three weeks suggests not going into a nosedive if support you expected from others doesn’t eventuate. Nourish yourself instead with whatever momentary connections, temporary treats or passing gems come your way – and there’ll be plenty.

K LIBRA: Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not… but putting in the hard yards this week will definitely pay off for Libran lilies in terms of kicking back and enjoying the next three, even if events don’t altogether go as planned – as they probably won’t. L SCORPIO: Venus gives you wicked charisma and a wiggle in your tail this week, but with the present cosmic fire boiling your waters remember Drama Creates Karma. And the truth doesn’t hurt unless you intend it to – but why would you when that harms you as well? M S AGITTARIUS: This week’s new moon in Sagittarius flings open your annual window of opportunity for the coming year and of course you’re raring to take off, but it’s crucial right now to plan for the long term. With enough instant gratification to keep you happy of course… N CAPRICORN: With midweek moon, Mars and Mercury all in Capricorn corner, take the time to explain to others why you’re doing what you’re doing. Mercury retrograde till the end of December gives special weight to what you say, and what you don’t say will be equally influential. O AQUARIUS: Neptune direct in Aquarius gives dreams which seemed unachievable a chance of getting up, though you’ll have to finalise some unfinished business before that can happen. Invigorating end of week Aquarian moon rearranges your belief systems and/or introduces you to something you’ve never done. P PISCES: Uranus and Jupiter moving forward in your sign can bring sudden changes which require you to embrace polarities, like being provocative and practical at the same time. A sensible head and dancing legs on the same body? Sure, just so long as you know who’s boss.

Mushroom Madonna Victoria Cosford â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I would like on my tombstone,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donna Harper tells me as we settle over coffee, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the words A Woman Of Many Interests.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;troubleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such a negative word when she is all positives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with interviewing Donna is that she is so irrepressibly fun and brimming with fascinating stories, all to do with these many interests, that we keep side-tracking wildly. Not that it is mattering at all, because wherever we end up reveals another good story. Unsurprising really, given that Donna has been telling stories for much of her adult life. Those familiar with her beautifully modulated tones on ABC Radio (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another funny story about that too and her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment on the way she sounds) might not be aware of the other hat she dons at farmers markets, where she and her mother sell mushrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; equally, her farmers market customers might not be aware that the previous evening she had been reading the news. Born in New Zealand, she came out to Australia in the 70s, to grow up on the Central Coast. From there it was to NIDA in Sydney where she obtained an Arts degree in Screenwriting and Acting, and hence to Triple Jay where she started doing the news. She also met and fell in love with the father of her first child, but when the relationship fell apart she headed up to Brisbane. After three years as a single mum she met and fell in love with Hans, her current partner, an antique dealer and French polisher. And had her second child. So how, I ask, did the mushroom thing come about? Back in New Zealand, the family farm cultivated raspberries. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I always loved having acreage as a kid,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she tells me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The being aware of good food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I really wanted that for my children, that appreciation of nature and life... We love mushrooms and we used to buy mushroom compost from a friend of ours for our raspberries. Our friend was tired of the business and offered it to mum and me. We thought why not?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; More than mother and daughter, Carole and Donna â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;are also good matesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Carole, who

used to be an economist for Kodak, has always held a passion for farming, gardening and landscaping. They all live together on sprawling acreage up at Nunderi, between Murwillumbah and the coast, and I imagine a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Darling Buds of Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sort of lifestyle, sunnily chaotic, raspberries instead of strawberry fields, although perhaps minus the rambling leisure. They grow a variety of mushrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Swiss Browns, portabellos, white buttons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are currently â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;venturing into the exotics. Nothing like a bit of variety, sweetie,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donna tells me. Peat shipped over from Ireland is mixed with compost in Windsor, NSW, before being freighted up to the farm in air-conditioned trucks. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We grow the mushrooms in air-conditioned shipping containers because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like heat or humidity,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donna says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to grow them in caves or tunnels but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how the council or our neighbours would feel if we started digging big holes on our farm.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donna is passionate about food in general, not just mushrooms. I get the distinct impression she is a superb cook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although how she might find the time baffles me. She is talking about her smoked mushroom pate which sounds fantastic: mushrooms smoked then blended with sour cream, chives, garlic and fetta. She fervently believes that the North Coast should become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the food bowl of Eastern Australia. We have rich soils and lots of water to help grow unique and beautiful produce. I think authorities must find a balance between protecting our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime agricultural land and responsible, not greedy, development.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Woman of Many Interests hopes one day to get back into screenwriting. But for now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken over... farmers markets are very important; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my passion.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In fact, yet another of Donnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many hats is that of Vice-President for the Byron Farmers Market. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The great news,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she winds up, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is a lot of people have realised our food value and have formed excellent organisations and are working together to make our region be noticed for its wonderful food and sustainable values.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

I do not ply of seek to increase the world’s supply perplexity and if I have done so, my humblest apologies. You may rest assured that everything I write is true. Why even now some of you may be visiting the new restaurant Feelings mentioned in last week’s column, and are seeing for yourselves how accurate my description was. Perhaps, I think sadly, the outlandish nature of some of my companions such as Abbotsleigh leads you to believe I veer onto the path of mendacity. Unfortunately, such people do exist, most of them at cabinet level in various governments around this fragile globe. Yet even Abbotsleigh has some redeeming qualities, such as his kindness to doxies and his ability to balance a waffle iron on his nose.

Local caterer Veet Karen has just self-published her own vegetarian cookbook. Inspired by many requests for her recipes from those who have tasted her food, she has put together a spiral-bound compendium of imaginative, all gluten-free dishes and called it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Veetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cuisineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Veet cooks at a lot of retreats as well as conventional functions so you can be assured that much of the contents is nutritionally sound and wholesome. That is, until you reach the Desserts section and entries like Decadent Chocolate Cake, Bon Vivant and a fabulous-sounding gluten-free Choc Orange Cake called Belovedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration Cake, which she suggests layering with cream and adorning with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masses of fresh strawberries and blueberriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Balinese Banquet, 4 Lasagnes for Four Seasons and some great ideas for refreshing nonalcoholic beverages. Retailing for $30, it is available at both Santos at the Byron Arts & Industry Park and in Byron Bay as well as direct from Veetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.veetscuisine.com.au. Its official launch will be at the Eat Paint Love exhibition at Still@The Gallery at the Byron Arts & Industry Park on December 11 and 12.

About 450,000 people took part across the globe, surpassing all expectations and resulting in Australia being constantly challenged for its position at the top of the registration and fundraising tables. It’s currently too close to call between Canada and Australia and it won’t be until all funds are received that the highest fundraising country will be known. In addition to each and every individual effort, many notable contributions were made to the 2010 campaign, including a host of sporting, music, political and media ambassadors growing moustaches, a P&O ship sporting a 30ft moustache.

Real estate institute calls for flexibility in First Home Saver Account The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has put forward a submission to the Treasurer detailing comments and proposals regarding the increased flexibility of the First Home Saver Account. The First Home Saver Account is an initiative that was introduced by the federal government to assist first home buyers in saving for a home through a combination of government contributions and low taxes.

inside:

The Treasurer recently released an exposure draft of legislation for public consultation aimed at increasing the flexibility of First Home Saver Accounts. ‘REIA welcomes the opportunityy to be involved in matters that affect the property market, in particular, assisting first home buyers to achieve the goal of ownning their own home,’ said REIA President David Airey. ‘While the proposed changes to the First Home Savers Account will not have a direct effect on housing affordability, it will enable first home buyers flexibility in the timing of their purchase to take advantage of house price fluctuations and/or reductions in fixed rate mortgages without having to wait for the minimum of four years to qualify.’ The REIA is supportive of the

proposed changes to the First Home Saver Account, however believes that further changes would make the scheme more effective and equitable in achievingg its objective. j These p proposed p changes are: t ćF DBQ PO UIFTF BDDPVOUT UP CF t ćF DBQ PO UIFFTTF BD B DPVOUT UP CF linked to movements movem meents in house prices rath rather heer than the CPI.

t ćBU ĕSTU IPNF CVZFST IBWF access to their voluntary superannuation contributions for the purchase of a home. ‘We look forward to working with the government on this

matter and believe that the First Home Saver Account is an important initiative for young Australians looking to realise the dream of owning a home,’ said Mr Airey. Find out more at the government website www.homesaver.treasury. www.homesaver.treasury gov.au.

Short-lived bounce in building approvals

Propertiy in focus pages 63

After six straight monthly falls, building approvals enjoyed a temporary reprieve in October 2010, but the trend in approvals remains downwards, according to the Housing Industry Association. HIA Senior Economist Andrew Harvey said that although total

approvals rose by 9.3 per cent in the month, they remain down by 5.9 per cent over the three months to October 2010. The monthly result was driven by a 23.6 per cent increase in private sector other dwellings, which is a highly volatile market segment.

Trend

‘The October approval numbers for other dwellings is a rare piece of good news, but it does come off a weak September figure and approvals for private sector detached dwellings are down by 15.7 per cent over the year,’ said Andrew Harvey. ‘Considering all leading indicators, including today’s result, the outlook for residential building is weak as the Australian housing industry continues to struggle with the confluence of stimulus withdrawal, rising interest rates and very restrictive credit conditions. ‘Expectations of increased interest rates, which have since been realised with Melbourne Cup day’s RBA/CBA double-whammy, have really taken the wind out of the sails of the non-resource sectors. As a result, the likelihood of a sharp correction in new home building in 2011 is increasing.

‘We are about to see a very weak third quarter in terms of Australia’s GDP which must raise questions about relying so heavily on monetary policy alone, in what appears to be a strategy of betting Australia’s economic future on one industry, namely mining.’ Much of the monthly headline result is driven by a 14 per cent increase in NSW approvals, although in that state approvals are down by 9 per cent over the three months to October 2010. The October numbers also see increased approvals experienced in Victoria (up by 4.6 per cent), South Australia (up by 6.1 per cent), Western Australia (up by 2.3 per cent), and the Northern Territory (up by 8.5 per cent). The jurisdictions experiencing a fall in approvals in October 2010 were Queensland (down by 0.7 per cent in seasonally adjusted terms) and the ACT (down by 3.7 per cent in trend terms).

So WikiLeaks gets its hands on classified docs and publishes them, like a news service, and now has the USA on its arse. The major news media get the same docs and publish them, and Hillary Clinton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chastise Rupert Murdoch? America may have shut down its WikiLeaks site but you can find updated links at http:// twitter.com/wikileaks. Q Q Q Q

The federal government has formed the Department of Regional Australia which looks like it might take local government seriously â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see www. regional.gov.au/local. The Reform Fund will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;encourage collaboration between councils to improve their capacity to serve local communities. The program aims to build local government capacity by funding collaborative projects which help build resilience in critical areas such as asset and financial management, workforce planning, or demographic and climate change adaptationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The real test will be if local government is eventually recognised in the Constitution as an independent tier of government. Any independence will have to be wrested from the cold, dead hand of the States. Q Q Q Q

Media release header of the week goes to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ill-fitting bra statistics worse than first thoughtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The problem, though, is serious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new study shows that 85 per cent of Australian women are wearing the wrong bra size. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a call for an Australian Standard for bra sizes, which makes good sense and might obviate a lot of pain and discomfort. If Australian men wore penis sheaths, the standard would have been introduced a long time ago. Q Q Q Q

The Ban The Bomb movement went quiet after the 50s and 60s but the persistence of loony regimes such as North Korea and Iran in developing nuclear

capability shows that the danger of world meltdown is everpresent. One hopes that China will eventually see its support of North Korea is bad for international trade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention international health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and pull the plug on the regime. Q Q Q Q

Great balls of fire: the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand has warned men that your lap may not be the best place to work on your laptop if you are concerned about your reproductive health. A new study, published in the excitingly-named journal, Fertility and Sterility, shows that sitting with a computer on your lap will heat up the temperature of your testicles which in turn may affect sperm quality. What is even more intriguing is that the researchers at the State University of New York who undertook the study hooked thermometers to the scrotums of 29 young men. The scrotum temperature went up by 2.5 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately there is no way to reboot the scrotum.

The US government has managed to get the extradition of alleged Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout from Thailand approved. Bout has been dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Merchant of Deathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Strange how the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest arms exporter, the USA itself, with its trade estimated at $166 billion in value in 2009, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the same sobriquet from the news media.
