Fire destroys house on Bangalow Road Story & photo Victoria Cosford

Fire gutted a wooden house in Bangalow Road, Byron Bay, early on Wednesday morning. Despite recent torrential downpours flooding the Shire over Christmas, ‘the whole house was burnt down’, according to Andrew Hill, Bangalow-based captain of the NSW Fire Brigade. He told The Echo that the call had come around 5.45 am. This is the third fire in the Shire in the past few weeks, following the devastation of two businesses in Bangalow and an air-conditioning unit catching alight in Suffolk Park. There were no casualties, although according to Inspector for NSW Fire The McGregor Family Carnival’s home is Banner Park, which carnival operator Glenn McGregor’s research shows is Brigades and Duty Commander for the oldest carnival site in the country.

Bay and Bangalow had set up hose lines to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding houses and causing damage. Mr Reid commended the brigades on the great job they did. ‘They protected the houses on all three sides with the building collapsing in the process. They had to be very wary of that, and no-one got hurt.’ On hand too was the Hazmat crew from Goonellabah to check the levels of asbestos. ‘The whole house was riddled with asbestos,’ Mr Hill told The Echo, ‘but there’s been so much water and it was all dampened, so there’s no danger to the public.’ A resident of the house told The Echo, ‘We woke at 5am and found a wall of fire engulfing the front of the house which within minutes had filled the rooms with smoke. So began the anxious wait for the fire brigade who were able to eventually quell the 15 metre flames that destroyed the 85year-old cottage.’ Cause of the fire was unknown. North-bound traffic was still being deviated by midday as investigations continued.

Inventors wanted for TV Naturalised and Aussie roadshow Look out all aspiring inventors: a new TV based concept will be held in Bangalow on Sunday January 16 – Inventor Roadshow. It’s the brainchild of inventor Ric Richardson, and was inspired by the popular TV show Antique Roadshow on BBC. ‘The show is set in a community centre or hall where everyday people bring in their antiques and have experts appraise them,’ says Ric. He says he was approached about a television show concept for inventing while on a recent trip to the US. ‘It dawned on me that the only real way for a TV show to be of value to the inventors themselves is to expose them to real investment experts,’ he says. ‘These experts need to be people who are positive, supportive but also have experience in walking the walk and actually finding and backing great ideas.’ It’s a great opportunity for inventors to receive feedback and to introduce them to quality professional

investors, says Ric. ‘It will provide realistic help and direction for their inventions,’ he says, ‘and will also be an opportunity to see if the chemistry of the moment will transfer to video in the same way that the interaction between dealers and antique owners do on Antique Roadshow.’ ABC’s Australian Story ran a profile of Ric in 2009, and he says part of his week is dediMayor Jan Barham conducted a special naturalisation cercated to helping other invenemony last month for just two people: Saffron Shand (pictured) tors move their projects and and Georgia Biernacki. The ceremony, in the Council chambers, ideas forward.

Open invitation ‘If you have an invention you have been working on or even just a good idea, there is an open invitation for you to come down to Bangalow A&I Hall from 11am to 3pm on Sunday January 16. ‘All you need is some drawings or photos of your idea or maybe a little prototype. There are only three or four experts available so priority will be given to those who have registered at www.InventorRoadshow.com.’

Member for Ballina Don Page claims the mobile breast screening van will return to Byron Bay in 2011. ‘The site that the van formerly utilised in Byron Bay is no longer available. I have been assured, however, that a suitable site will be located as soon as possible so that the van can return to service in Byron Bay early in the new year,’ Mr Page said.

‘The van requires a location that provides suitable electricity supply, which is what is causing the difficulty at the moment. ‘However, anyone wishing to make an appointment for the Byron Bay service can still do so by calling Breastscreen NSW on 13 20 50. When a site is found their call will be returned and an appointment confirmed.’

North Parklands Correction In a recent editorial, The Echo’s newly annointed Pplater editor incorrectly claimed Council knocked back the North Parklands proposal when in fact the trial event was approved. Also support for Splendour’s signed petitions were generally balanced from both within and outside the Shire.

Tender awarded for Sport and Cultural Complex Multi Span Australia will be constructing the multipurpose building for the Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex in Ewingsdale. The tender was awarded by Council to the Brisbane based company, and a representative told The Echo that the drawings were still being finalised. $4.23 million is expected to be the cost, with the overall cost being $16.8 million. Byron Shire Council says it has contributed the remaining $7.3 million to the project. The proposal is sized at over 3,500 square metres, and the multipurpose building will contain 1,640 square metres of sprung timber flooring, activity rooms, storage facilities, amenities and change rooms, canteen/kitchen, drop-in room and reception. Mayor Jan Barham said this was a great outcome for the project.

‘The facility will provide a valuable new building that will cater for a wide variety of community uses. â€˜Included in the building design are wide undercover outdoor spaces that will allow for additional breakout for functions and events as well as wet weather protection. ‘The council and the community appreciate that this facility will create the potential for a wide range of local, regional and tourism benefits. ‘The Federal Government’s funding support of this significant community complex has made it a short term reality rather than a long term dream,’ Mayor Barham said.

of community infrastructure Phil Holloway said the project construction had been going well. ‘The turf laying has experienced some delays. â€˜However, this month we’ve managed to lay turf on the hockey and athletic fields section of the sports field.’ The sporting field’s irrigation uses reclaimed water from adjacent West Byron Integrated Water Manage-

ment Reserve. In 2009 Byron Shire Council was awarded Government funding of $8 million from the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program and another $1.5 million from the Better Regions Program. Estimated completion date is expected to be 2012, and the complex will be home to many sporting teams as well as cultural events.

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

A JOURNEY INTO THE 3PIRITUAL 3CIENCE OF 2UDOLF 3TEINER

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.

Surfing mummas giving support

NEW YEAR

CLEARANCE Raising daughters who will know from the start how to time and wave share, Kellie with Chloe and Emma with Mali are looking forward to catching some surf with other mums and bubs in the new year. Story and photo Eve Jeffery

A group of mums will be celebrating the new year by catching some waves at Brunswick Heads. A unique idea, initiated by Byron Bay mum of two Vanessa Thomson, has led to the creation of Surfing Mums. The idea is simple: it’s a network of mums across Australia who meet on the beach whenever the waves are pumping to swap ‘beach sitting’ for water time.

‘This is a new type of mothers’ group,’ says Bruns chapter coordinator Emma Waters. ‘Since the the birth of my baby Mali in May this year, I have been thinking it was time to start up a group in Brunswick Heads as a way for fellow beach loving, surfing mums to meet up and get some wave time.’ With more than 51,000 women surfers in Australia, that makes for a lot of surfing mums. From its inception in 2008 Surfing Mums now represents

almost 500 mums (and some dads) across the country. Being a part of Surfing Mum’s activities means that mums can duck out for a quick surf while their young ones are asleep or playing on the sand, knowing their family is being looked after by a fellow Surfing Mum on the beach. ‘One of Surfing Mums’ objectives is to help Mums, new and not so new, get back into exercise and relate with other parents in one of the best envi-

All-local beachside market this week Victoria Cosford

The long-running Byron Beachside Market is scheduled for Wednesday January 5. One hundred market stalls showcasing locally made artisanal wares will occupy over half a kilometer of beachfront at Byron Bay’s Main Beach from 8am to 5pm, with a focus on originality and sustainability.

According to Byron Market Manager Tess Cullen, this is the first year they will have run it, taking it over from the Lions Club who operated it for the past five years. ‘We’ve clearly defined it as an artisan market,’ Tess told The Echo. ‘It had morphed into a community market but it became clear amongst storeholders that they wanted it all to be locally made.’

The concept echoes the growing demand for ‘directfrom-the-artist’ hand-made, high quality arts and crafts and affordable art and design. There will be live music and buskers, an array of services offered by health and wellbeing practitioners and a labyrinth made out of scarves. ‘It’s all about the atmosphere and showing the best of Byron!’

ronments around, our beautiful beaches,’ says Emma. The inaugural meeting of the Brunswick Heads Surfing Mums will begin at 10.30am at Torakina beach for the bubs and a surf session off the breakwall for mums. For more information about the Bruns Mums, contact Emma Waters on 0406 090 791 or email:brunswick@surfingmums.com. For more about Surfing Mums visit: www.surfingmums.com.

New teacher for Goonengerry Public School

One new year’s resolution that could really make a difference is learning something completely new. For the first time, Byron and Mullumbimby have a comprehensive summer school by the region’s own public community college. ‘The program is a response to locals and visitors seeking alternative inspiration to enrich their lives and learn vital new skills in a short hit,’ says the school’s Richard Vinycomb.

‘It provides another delightful alternative to the great outdoors with a College that already has a national reputation for some of the best short courses ever imagined.’ Richard claims it brings together some of the most experienced and talented teaching staff in offering some wonderful new choices. ‘These include bringing out the artist, the cook, the performer, the healer and the astronomer. You can meet

likeminded souls at thirty encounters whether you are fire spinning, hula dancing, sketching, woodworking, songwriting, massaging, gardening, blogging or just simply being funny.’ The full range of courses on offer can be found in the 2011 summer school brochure or at www.byron college.org.au. Courses are only in January and bookings essential. Call 6684 3374 or visit www. byroncollege.org.au.

Nature strip maintenance sparks confusion Story and photo Eve Jeffery

Council wants us to clean up their mess according to a letter received by Ocean Shores resident James Scott. In response to Mr Scott’s questions about a Silky Oak tree that he views as a liability on the nature strip adjacent to his property, he was told that an in inspection was undertaken of the area and his concerns had been noted. ‘Maintenance of trees and lawn on footpath adjoining private property is now the responsibility of the adjoining home owner,’ said the letter signed by the Asset Maintenance department’s David Carney. ‘Council does not have the resources or funding to attend these areas.’ Mr Scott said that as a results of the letter from Council, he was unsure of his responsibilities in regards to the upkeep of the area and his legal obligation to keep the nature strip safe. ‘I am not sure what I am sup-

posed to do,’ said Mr Scott. ‘If there is wind storm damage resulting in trees obstructing roads am I responsible for tree removal? If objects fall from the trees and hit people or cars am I liable? My house insurance doesn’t cover me as it is not on my property.’ Mr Scott said he felt he was not actually able to have his say over the area inasmuch as he was not allowed to remove the trees, but he was stuck with the results of planting that took place well before he moved into the house in Wirruna Avenue. As it happened, on the day The Echo visited Mr Scott, the weekly bin rubbish had just been emptied and the truck took out a limb of a tree next to the road. Byron Shire Council executive manager of community infrastructure Phil Holloway said anyone who had a safety concern about a tree on a Council owned or controlled nature strip should contact Council. He said a Council officer would inspect the tree and assess the need for tree to be

trimmed or removed. ‘In the case of removal, a development application may be required to be submitted by Council,’ he said. ‘The cost of the tree or limb removal would be borne by Council.’ Mr Holloway said similarly Council is responsible for the mowing of nature strips. However, often the frequency does not suit the neighbouring properties. ‘If this is the case, residents can assist Council through mowing and weeding the nature strip.’

Federal mechanic Fred retires Fred Murray from Federal Motors has retired, leaving the village without a mechanic. Mr Murray thanked his loyal customers and told The Echo, ‘You have given me a wonderful memory of you all, and I know I am going to miss being a part of the Federal community. ‘It is unique.’

Community groups benefit from clubs package Victoria Cosford

Community groups in the Ballina electorate stand to receive an additional $112,000 a year from local registered clubs following the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by MP Don Page. Club representatives met with Mr Page for the signing of the memorandum, which outlines measures to help secure the financial viability of NSW clubs over the next four years. As a quid pro quo, they will be paying less tax than they presently do. According to Mr Page, local clubs currently donate more than $5 million annually to community groups and activities. ‘Typically they give it to sporting organisations and any other groups that ask for it,’ he told The Echo. ‘People approach their local club for support then the club board decides who to give to.’ www.echo.net.au

The proposed Clubs and Community Rescue Package will ensure that money spent at local clubs gets put back into the community that supports them, he said. There are approximately 1500 clubs in NSW, not-forprofit organisations that exist for the benefit of their members and the community. They provide a meeting place and facilitate the pursuit of interests such as sporting, community, workers, business, religious and ex-services. Over the past decade they have provided more than $1 billion to community groups and charities. ‘Clubs offer good prices for meals, so people like the senior population benefit. They provide that service and they provide a safe environment as well. They’ll often hire out halls for no charge… they actually contribute more than the figures show,’ he said.

Big year for Cancer Support Group

Rhianna Phillips captured this moment, which is fast becoming a yearly event in the township. The SES reported that over the holiday period there were 124 requests for assistance and seven flood rescues.

The Byron Bay Breast Cancer Support Group reported a very positive 2010. Co-ordinator/facilitator Barb Pinter gave thanks to fifteen-year-old Byron High student, Ella Pike who organised the recent YAC Party with Pink which raised $645. ‘And also Lisa Parks from the Byron Lighthouse Run who handed the group a cheque for $1000, to assist with the costs of running the group. ‘Community support such as this is greatly appreciated and will ensure that the BBBCSG continues to go from strength to strength so it is available for those affected by breast cancer in our community.’ For inquiries about the BBBCSG phone 6680 8893 or visit www.relayforlife.org.au.

Youth ‘small change’ grants up for grabs Byron Shire Council and the Byron Shire Youth Council are offering five small grants of up to $1000 for young people to create and deliver programs, activities and events in the area. The ‘Youth Council Small Change Community Chest Grants’ aims to present events for young people in the Shire, specifically with a positive image of young people.

The emphasis is also to breakdown negative stereotypes and provide more opportunities for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) young people. Increasing young people’s awareness of social justice and environmental issues is also encouraged.

‘The grants are by young people for young people,’ Youth Council member Justin Fenwick said, ‘and aims to empower young people to have a go and make a difference in our local community.’ Applicants must be aged between 12 – 25 years of age, live in the Byron Shire, provide at least two written references from non-family

members and propose drug and alcohol-free, not-forprofit projects, workshops, programs, activities or events that promote a positive image of young people in the Shire. Applications close Friday February 4. To download the application form, go to www. byron.nsw.gov.au/committees/ youth-council or contact Belle Arnold on 6626 7225.

Details of the Ocean Shores Roundhouse Community Business Plan, including two design concepts for the site, were unveiled on Friday. The report was handed to Minister for the Arts, Virginia Judge. A request for the plan was made by the minister following a meeting by RAG (Roundhouse Action Group)with Arts NSW representatives at the Tourisms Futures conference last month held at Kingscliff. Ballina MP Don Page and ALP Duty MLC Amanda Fazio have also made representations to the State Government on behalf of RAG, asking for funding from regional development sources to prepare a detailed development application for the site. ‘The Roundhouse Action Group is delighted that it has been asked to provide Arts Minister Virginia Judge with details of our community business plan,’ said Roger Curran, secretary of RAG. ‘We still have a long way to go. However, Arts NSW recognises that Ocean Shores, and the Byron Shire has a good case to apply for this funding. ‘The Shire has no public art gallery, and two small community run museums, for instance.

An early photo of the Roundhouse supplied by RAG.

‘The Roundhouse would provide a creative hub for the Shire including both a gallery and an historical archival museum within its walls, as well as other facilities such as a theatre, restaurant/cafe, children’s playground and native flora gardens. ‘These were identified as most important in the community survey conducted by RAG. The results of the survey demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of residents in the coastal north want the site for

public use, as a multi-purpose cultural facility. ‘Only three per cent of survey respondents preferred the site to be developed by council into residential lots and sold. ‘The bulk of our finance will come from borrowings, plus substantial government grants and local philanthropy. ‘Principal and interest on the loans will be repaid from income earned from the 21 short stay holiday units planned to be constructed on the site, which will provide

much needed tourism and short term accommodation for Ocean Shores. ‘We are hoping for a good result when the business plan comes to council in the new year. If Council gives the approval for RAG to go ahead, to prepare a development application and funding proposal for the project, we will immediately make application for funding from Arts NSW for capital funding to assist us in the construction of the multipurpose arts facility.’

Wanted – men for dancing Ray Moynihan

His hand slides down the gentle curve of her naked shoulder, as his leg feels the soft touch of her thighs. An Afro-Cuban beat pumps pure life from the sound system as two dozen bodies swirl together across a darkened room, fingers and limbs entwined in a liquid bliss. This isn’t a scene from a porn set or a swinger’s AGM, it’s just another weeknight dance class in the Northern Rivers – a sensual pleasure too many men are simply missing out on. The Byron Shire and surrounds are blessed with an abundant diversity of dance classes, from Latin to African, from belly-dancing to flamenco, and everything in between. I’m reliably informed there’s now even a new style where two people move together through space, without any music at all – apart from the melody of their connected bodies – which sounds as close to straight out foreplay as it gets. With a string of highly enthusiastic teachers in the region, there are regular dance classes in most of the towns and some of the villages, catering for people of all skills and ages – from the absolute beginners to the dangerously good. If you’ve ever mused about doing a few classes, the start of a new year is an ideal time, because there’ll be a bunch of people doing the same thing. Like a lot of blokes, for a longtime I was reluctant to take any sort of dance lesson,

shy about looking goofy and intimidated by the experienced crowd. But I started to learn to salsa in Byron about five years ago and have found the experience an unparalleled delight. It takes a little while to find your feet but for a lot of people the dance class becomes one of the highlights of the week,

a chance to disengage utterly from the surreal and sedentary grind of the working day and return to the physical reality of collective human life. Sport offers a similar escape to reality – as H G Nelson once famously said, we love it so much because it’s something we can do now – but dance has so many dimensions: physical, social and creative. The truth is that after a few lessons you’ll gain a passport to a parallel universe of music and movement, one that runs from all the tiny country halls with their Saturday night socials to the crowded nightclubs of Smith Street in Melbourne. Most recently during a

teaching trip to Spain, I was able to pull out a few moves in a small bar on the beautiful island of Menorca, much to the appreciation of some of my public health students, a group of doctors from Madrid. Certainly the first few months of learning can be tough, particularly for the men.

With many of the Latin dances the man has to both learn the steps and learn how to lead the woman into them – a special challenge in a world deeply imbued with the egalitarian values of feminism. But over time the challenges turn to exhilaration, as you find yourself playfully choreographing a move to match the phrasing of a song, or pressing close with a friend or lover, in sync to some soulful electronic beats or a live band visiting from the backblocks of Havana. Dance is one of the few legitimate ways of being physically fresh with a complete stranger, though there are strong

Byron Arts Classic good to go

Majida Steinfeld and volunteer co-ordinator Sally Brakha. Victoria Cosford

For the second year in a row the Byron Arts Classic will run Friday January 7. Vigorously revived last year from its previous format known as the Easter Arts Classic, the community event is a showcase for the diverse range of paintings, sculpture, works on paper and photography by North Coast visual artists. Like last year, it will transform the Byron Community and Cultural Centre into an www.echo.net.au

enormous gallery for the sixday duration of the event. Co-ordinator Tess Cullen told The Echo that while the number of entries was only marginally up on last year’s – 345 as compared with 340 – the selecting process had been a bit more thorough this year. ‘We will fill the building,’ she said. Awards will be presented by the judging panel including Brett Adlington, Director of Lismore Regional Gallery, Robert Appo, Indigenous Arts Development Officer with Arts

Northern Rivers and local artist Robyn Sweaney. An addition to the event will be two workshops, one for children and one for adults, to be held on the Sunday and Tuesday. Tess said that this year’s prize pool of $8000 was slightly less than last year’s. ‘It’s been a difficult year for businesses and this has shown up,’ she said, ‘but people have been so generous.’ Both Byron Bay Language School and local resident Lyn Kirby ‘leapt at the chance to sponsor,’ she said. ‘And we’ve got the financial institutions behind us – Southern Cross Credit Union, Bank of Queensland and (Lismorebased) Rochedale Finance and Accounting. It’s fabulous that we’ve got a toe in the door of Lismore sponsorship.’ Opening night kicks off at 6pm, and will feature food by the Sanctuary refugee group who will operate a small cafe as a fund-raiser, Vietnamese finger-food as well as music by the Mick Sashimi Band which, weather permitting, will play outside and for longer.

unwritten rules restricting the sleazy. Men who move their hands just that little bit south of the border are very quickly pulled into line. But sleaziness is rare, and much more commonly friendships are forged through the regular classes and dance events – which is why they’re exploding across the country. And the other big plus is that a night spent dancing, is rarely spent drinking. On the downside, even the best teachers can have their off nights. Not known as a group who generally lack confidence, the dance teachers I’ve encountered during classes across Australia in the last five years could probably all benefit from seeking a little more feedback from their students, and using that to improve the style and content of their classes. Hopefully a few men out there might decide it’s time to make the move. Painfully aware of the ambiguities of life, it’s rare that I ever write or say anything with great certainty. But there’s one thing I can offer to any man or boy out there who decides to take a few dance classes. You will never regret it. And if a whitebread hack from suburban Brisbane can have fun on the dance floor, anyone can. Picture Jeff Dawson

by Mungo MacCallum But in fact the Greens and the independents have given Labor a sense of purpose and direction that it lacked during the time of change and the election campaign which followed. Certainly not a lot happened in the second half of the year; the impression of confusion and indecisiveness if anything got worse. But in the circumstances this was understandable: the new paradigm (anagram: pig drama) was always going to take a few weeks to settle its own set of premises and rules. The crossbenchers, suffering from a rush of power to the head, needed time to test the limits of their influence: how far could they push their own agendas before they became too much for the Labor traditionalists to wear, and they were forced to another election which would almost certainly rob them of not only their ascendancy, but possibly their very seats? Julia Gillard and her colleagues also need some breath-

lead-up to the election this had been a bit low-key: Labor’s so-called strategists had worried that it was all too distant and grandiose for that front bar in Penrith. But it proved to be one of the key factors in wooing Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott to Gillard’s side (Bob Katter also likes it, which is a useful bonus) and was thus swept to prominence. It is a long-term project, complex, controversial and indeed visionary – one of Kevin Rudd’s babies, of course. Tony Abbott has vowed to destroy it, and it will not be easy to sell to a public increasingly obsessed by bread and butter issues. But it is hugely worthwhile, a genuinely progressive change that Labor can wear as a badge of courage. And, thanks largely to the independents, Labor will bloody well have to. And in the same category is climate change. This was another policy area Gillard was advised by the smarties to eschew; she acquiesced, going

so far as to assure the voters that she would abandon even the token effort to put a price on carbon, the fundamental requirement for any effective action. And then the Greens jacked up, with the support of Andrew Wilkie and no objections from Oakeshott and Windsor, and a carbon price is back on the agenda. This allows Abbott to accuse Gillard of kowtowing to a mad minority and breaking a solemn election promise, but it brings hope to many of those who deserted Labor when Gillard, among others, persuaded Rudd to place climate change on the backburner. And as weather events around the world continue to become more extreme, it is reasonable to believe that the numbers will grow. Once again, the independents may have saved Labor from itself. The last few weeks have been mercifully free of politics, apart from the ritual Christmas messages and appearances at disaster zones, but the year began with the introduction of the government’s paid maternity leave scheme for the private sector – just 38 years after another Labor government gave it to the public sector. It has been a long time coming, but the good news is that it’s finally here. The bad news, of course, is the floods: apart from anything else the cost to revenue will be in the billions, putting Labor’s promise to return the budget to surplus in 2013 very much at risk. So we conclude as we began, with the bad news. But hey, it hasn’t all been bad: there is still the prospect of progress on several fronts, and Tony Abbott may not get another chance at becoming Prime Minister for some 30 months – if ever. And that’s the really good news.

Dangerous to ducks and humans

ethical ďŹ nancial solutions

It is with great sadness that I read Amanda Lucantonio’s letter (Echo, December 21) because early one morning last week, while two adults and five baby ducklings were crossing Bangalow Road to the Byron Bay High School side, only one adult and five baby ducklings made it across two lanes of traffic. Another motorist and I stopped, put the duck in a carton and I took it to the vet. Unfortunately, with a badly broken leg and wing, the shock was too much for it. It would be a very good idea to have a ‘ducks crossing’ sign

on Bangalow Road like the one can drive from Brisbane to on Ewingsdale Road. the lighhouse, and then on to Helen Revis Ballina – past all our schools – Suffolk Park without encountering a single pedestrian crossing.

Missing the Lorax

pear to be ignorant and foolish. I would ask Cr Woods to produce any comment from that phone provider that would verify this statement. I am quite sure that Apple would be interested to see such evidence! Perhaps Cr Woods should investigate her facts and try to deepen her understanding of simple issues before making such foolish, scaremongering comments! What was that about Council owning that land as well? It would appear that the potholes along, around and through our local roads must be bouncing and impeding the common sense and decision making skills of councillors such as Cr Woods!

I bush regenerate near the almost always locked toilet at Cumbebin. I walk on turds. How can I or anyone else expect otherwise if the toilets are locked?

Q

The Lorax of Dr Seuss fame was unfortunately out of town the other day as my children and I arrived at one of our favourite local swimming holes. Only to discover that the mature native tree at the top of the waterfall had been inexplicably chopped down, while the most recent visitors to this beautiful spot had left chip packets, bottles, lolly wrappers and cigarette butts scattered around the place. Anyone would think the Onceler had paid us a visit, however I feel this environmental vandalism was down to the good ol’ human bean. My children and I were greatly saddened and all I could offer them in terms of a positive experience out of this negative one, apart from removing the offending articles, was to point out that they were witnessing an excellent example of how not to treat our environment. Places like this one are not obvious. People need to be shown or told how to get there. Whether by friends, tour operators or word of mouth if you are sending people into these special places please tell them that the only way to truly enjoy their time there is to do so with humility and respect. It is so easy to take your rubbish with you, it is so wrong to treat the earth as if it were our own personal rubbish bin. As for the tree, if only the Lorax had been home. Sascha Bannatyne

Brunswick plans It’s no surprise the controversial development application to replace the Brunswick Heads Gym & Squash Courts with 34 units has been slipped through over the busy holiday period. Was this a strategy designed for maximum inconvenience, to stifle informed discussion and opportunities for a coordinated community response? Most residents had just over a week to get to the Council Chambers to view the plans before Christmas and the DA never made it to the Bruns library or Council’s website. For almost half the legally required exhibition period the plans have not been available to the public with both Council offices and libraries closed for the past two weeks. Residents have just one week left to view the plans and submissions must be in by January 12. The proposed DA ignores current LEP requirements for medium density development which allows 250sqm per dwelling or a maximum eight units on 2,000sqm of land. It also fails to comply with parking and setback requirements. Council’s affordable housing

policy requires a minimum of 60sqm for a granny flat yet under the guise of ‘affordable housing’ 29 single bedroom units, 4 x 2 bedroom units and a 2 bedroom manager’s residence will be squeezed onto two residential blocks. If this proposed plan was truly good for Brunswick Heads and was really going to provide much needed ‘affordable’ rental accommodation then surely the developers would be spruiking the benefits at public forums and working hard to sell their altruistic dream to the community. Instead the developers used the Christmas period to advertise their controversial, high impact plans. Was this to minimise the inevitable community backlash? Call Council to request an extension of the exhibition period, so our community can properly formulate an informed response to this latest challenging proposal. Michele Grant

Toilet weirdness Like Sarah Buchanan (Letters, December 21) I think the locking of public toilets strange behaviour. I understand Council has concerns for toilet vandalism, especially in the wee small hours (excuse pun), but locking toilets I would suggest is part of the reason why vandalism occurs in the first place. Vandalism is a response of people who do not like the society they live in. Fair enough at a level, I can see a lot that requires improvement too. Vandalism however is an immature response to a reasonable perception. A more mature response from anyone in authority, such as Council, is to ask why people do not like the society and fix it at that level. Locked toilets is simply one more reason for hating the society one lives in. It’s not fixing the problem, but creating it. A society that creates vandals needs to pay the piper:

Veil lifted Whether the media or its readers support or condemn Julian Assange is not the issue. What is most important to see is that WikiLeaks is just the tip of the iceberg. The growing need for the world’s population to know the real truth will generate many more upstarts for this type of new investigative reporting. Among others, Lord Monckton has again helped raise public attention to the reintroduction of the objectives behind the proposed Copenhagen treaty at the recent Cancun continued overleaf

Climate Change Summit. The veil has now been fully lifted and what lies behind it is very clear and transparent for everyone to see. The people of the world (regardless of nation) are the inmates of the most hideous worldwide prison system ever known in history: a full-blown corporatecontrolled world government. The authors of this system are so sure of their success that they are not even concerned with secrecy anymore. They’re of the opinion that WikiLeaks et al are too late and they will be of no consequence to their plans.

I hope the people of the world can prove them wrong, stand up, and start exercising their full responsibility and authority to make things right in every country around the world. Please see www.upworldgov.org for a start. Ricardo Johansson

Trouble with gas Northern Rivers residents have begun to question the benefits of the MetGasCo Coal Seam Methane project in Casino following recent screenings across the region of the film Gaslands. MetGasCo responded to a query about the pos-

sibility of organic chemicals leaching into groundwater by arguing that as they are not gasifying the coal, no chemical reactions take place in the coal seam. While it is true that the worst chemical pollution from underground extraction of gas from coal seams, including the closure of the Cougar Energy plant at Kingaroy, have taken place when the coal is burned or otherwise chemically altered, all of the problems described in the film Gaslands are due to the process of fracturing the coal seam so that the methane can be washed off the surface of the coal. Commonly known as frack-

ing, this process involves the injection of water into the coal seam after some physical fracturing has taken place. The methane loaded water brought to the surface for extraction of the gas is highly saline, and loaded with a range of pollutants from the process and the coal seam itself. Many of these chemical pollutants are associated with the mechanical processes used to drill the wells, fracture the coal and inject the water. In some cases, chemicals are injected into the coal seam to assist in the process of separating the methane from the coal. As well as the danger of this

chemical cocktail leaching into waterways, the mingling of coal seam water with bore water is a major concern. The film Gaslands shows people setting fire to their drinking water, burning the methane that has been extracted from the coal seam. Of more concern are the impacts on health with skin rashes, hair loss and other health impacts being widely reported across the gas fields of the USA and Western Queensland. With gas fields in the Margaret River in Western Australia, the Otways in Victoria and the Hunter Valley, as well as across the bulk of outback

Spare our blushes From the very first moment I picked it up, the latest episode of The Byron Shire Echo just ‘felt’ different, and I don’t mean because it was heavier for the Christmas issue. It spoke to me of a weightier sort of weight, an invitation to, dare I say it, think. I was not to be disappointed. Each hastily turned page crackled with a once familiar ‘frisson’ I had thought long lost in the mist of mediocrity and small town irrelevance. The pages sparkled with moments of acerbic wit, articles of well articulated reflection, pearls of deep thought and an air – no, a stiff sea breeze – of intellectual challenge. The Echo had its Mojo back. Could it be? Had there been a regime change? Were the halcyon days of informed debate and intellectual vim returned? For too long I have merely been skipping the first half dozen pages until I could locate the familiar rantings of Mungo or the rapier commentary of Mandy, but now I found myself eagerly scanning each page in anticipation of further joys (Lovejoys, actually). I felt informed, inspired, challenged and provoked. Oh Hallelujah. Debate has returned to the Byron Shire. Now, just to be clear, this should not be interpreted as an invitation for Fast Buck$ to resume his tirade of self serving self righteous paranoia – that stuff is just plain boring and more than a little pathetic. However, I will await the next issue with bated breath in the deep hope that The Echo will once more soar on the wings of truths, trials and cheeky tongues. Let the commentary begin. Adam Blanch

Trivial pursuit It seems that it is not only staff at Byron Shire Council who involve themselves in trivial pursuits as we now learn the elected body has chosen to engage in pursuing a few beachfront landowners at Suffolk Park who have been caring for the Crown land that exists between their properties and the tidal zone. This type of neo Nazi green activity is awfully divisive and only serves to build resentment in communities. It is what I fear most about the Greens and their ‘holier than thou’ www.echo.net.au

Drugs: still fighting a lost war

MIGRATION ASSISTANCE

‘The war on drugs is a lost war, and 2011 is the time to move away from a punitive approach in order to pursue a new set of policies based on public health, human rights, and commonsense.’ This is the informed opinion of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil (1995-2002), and cochairman of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy, and convenor of the Global Commission on Drug Policy. Why is it that in 2011 in regards to drugs we still treat people as criminals rather than as those needing support and guidance in the safe use of mind and body altering substances? The difference for individuals in the consumption of alcohol and tobacco as compared to marijuana, her-

oin, ecstasy, cocaine, speed or other drugs is not as large a difference as media and policy makers would have us believe. While each of these drugs may give a different physical and mental effect, all are equally capable of making you happy, sad or indifferent. And all are capable of killing you. The legality around drugs is based more on historical and profit making factors than on any observable differences in outcomes, if used regularly under informed conditions. The recent experience of both Portugal and Switzerland demonstrates that with decriminalisation overall drug usage has fallen. In Australia over the last ten years there has not been one death at the legally sanctioned Kings Cross injecting rooms.

What affects the outcome of using drugs is determined much more by your motivation and your informed (or uninformed) choices rather than any drug law. The stark reality is that the current laws in our country are an irrelevance to curtailing the use of drugs. We make criminals of the young and old, we lock up the convicted, we ignore the growing social implications, we increase the health and police budgets and we all end up paying more on insurance premiums. In the early 1990s I worked with injecting drug users, sex workers, doctors and social workers on community campaigns to reduce the growing impact of the spread of HIV/ AIDS within Australia. These campaigns were successful. We

did reduce the rate of infections in Australia compared to other countries. This was not achieved by bringing in harsh, punitive HIV/AIDS laws. It was achieved by treating the issue as a matter of public health requiring wide spread media campaigns along with targeted grassroots community education. There is a real lesson to be learnt from this experience. Fernando Cardoso has warned, ‘The worst prohibition is the prohibition to think.’ I believe 2011 is the time to unchain our thinking. Let us start listening to voices such as Cardoso and change the drug laws in this country. Let’s turn on the light and get our heads out of the darkness.

More in keeping with today’s needs, there could be a more realisable solution, of great health benefit to residents and visitors, even with business opportunities.

Australian orphanage founder honoured in East Timor Dr David Miller

On Sunday December 10 a former resident of the Northern Rivers was acknowledged for services to humanity in East Timor. The President of East Timor, Jose Ramos Horta, presented Isa Bradridge with an award for humanitarian services, in acknowledgement of his brave and selfless efforts in establishing an orphanage during a very troubled page of their history. An Australian considering an orphanage might conjure a vision of a Dickensian children’s poorhouse of emotional neglect and insufficient soup from stern beadles. This orphanage in the new country of East Timor is situated high in the cool hills far above the sweltering capital of Dili and is of a different kind. Its name is ‘Familia Hope’ and is located just outside the little town of Gleno in the Ermera district. This family consists of 34 unrelated children, some of who lost their parents during the terrible militia conflagration which followed the vote for independence from Indonesia in 1999. Some of these kids witnessed their parents being murdered and one, Moises, still carries machete marks on his fore-

standards, it’s pretty basic. While Americo is here he wanted to thank Mat Clark and D-lush Gourmet Takeaway in Mullumbimby who have been personal supporters and collected over $5,000 for this cause. There are pictures of the family on display there. Mullumbimby Rotary led by president David D’Vash has donated a mobile timber mill. The aim is to provide job opportunities and a sustainable future for the orphanage. Rotary ladies made curtains and the ‘Brunswick Shed Men’ do an annual ride-a-thon around Brunswick Heads in support of the orphanage. There is a lot of support from the oddest places with unexCentre, scholarship winner Americo Pereira with orphanage supporters Mat Clark of D’Lush, left, pected collateral benefits for David D’Vash of Mullumbimby Rotary, right. many. head.

Antonino. Some are at school in Singapore. The older girls including Olga, Dulcita and Alicanta, have the daily running of the orphanage and there is discussion about setting up a beauty parlour in Gleno aimed at vocational enhancement. The average daily income is 22 cents, with up to $5 for skilled workers such as builders. That’s per day, not an hourly rate, and this cycle of poverty needs intervention. Familia Hope is run by the children with supervision. The boundaries are loose and the kids can come and go from their villages and stay as long as they want. Six have moved out and some others have come in. The future is uncertain but the results so far put Familia Hope up there as an example of what is possible with dedication and consistency. Without Isa it would never have happened. Many people have offered to go over and help, but outside the capital, East Timor is a country with no real infrastructure for visitors, so the most practical way is by donation, either through D-Lush or contact John Bailey at johnbailey@linknet.com.au. Developing accommodation in Gleno for helpers may be the next challenge in what we hope is a neverending story.

From the lighthouse, the view is deceptively rosy almost half of Australian fisheries are almost or completely overfished. The amount of wild fish caught since 2000 is decreasing, though high prices and increasing sales of farmed fish hold up the overall industry figures. Caged salmon, fed ground-up fish sourced from around the world, are the marine equivalents of feedlot practices for cattle. Ditto tuna ranching: fattening adult wild fish in cages for sale to Japan. This creates an ‘oversupply’ of an endangered fish, causing its price to drop! There’s a conservation gap between a small marine park such as ours in Byron and commercial fishing. Recreational fishers are caught in it. So is everyone else who enjoys eating fish. ‘No take’ areas serve many purposes, but are these addressing large scale fishing?

Story & photo Mary Gardner

From the lighthouse, the sea looks as magnificent as ever. But I’m pondering other depths to this marine view. Especially after events at the end of 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. Last October, the signatories to the Biodiversity Convention, including Australia, met in Japan. They set a new target for coastal conservation: ten per cent, up from less than one per cent worldwide. At the same time, the NSW Parliament was considering a bill for a five year moratorium on any new marine parks and sanctuaries. By early November, this bill was rejected. On November 24, marine specialists led by Maria Beger, University of Queensland, published the Coffs Harbour Subtropical Reefs Declaration.

Poorly understood One reason behind the failed moratorium bill was to raise big questions about marine conservation science. The Declaration addresses these questions too, but rather differently. It states both west and east subtropic coasts are poorly understood. It calls on marine managers, researchers and politicians to cooperate and learn more. And quickly, because the oceans are changing. On the east coast, some of that change is the sand, always shifting, heading more or less up the coast. At the same time, further out, the other change is riding that East Australian Current, which comes down from the Coral Sea. The current sweeps along towards Sydney at a speed of two or three knots. Here at Byron Bay, it comes as close as five kilometres to shore, right along Julian Rocks/Nguthungulli, two and a half kilometres offshore. The current acts as a conveyor belt, carrying different species of marine tropical tourists. Some well known visitors are easily seen, such as reef butterfly fish.

Another idea goes straight to heart of the issue: reorganising fishing practice. In Chile, fishing quota is now owned by collectives of fishers. Think of it like aquatic community garden care and harvesting. Maybe we could all sign up for allotments. We then delegate the fishing effort to different harvest co-ops who work from beaches or boats. These fishers are neither ‘recreational’ nor ‘commercial’ but ‘sustainable’. But the very small travelers are of special interest. The marine plankton, its algae and animals, start as blooms and spawning slicks in the north. They easily travel hundreds of kilometres from there. Last September, in the first week after the full moon, the inshore corals spawned. The outer corals on Great Barrier spawned over last November 25-27. With reef fish having spawned November 3-7, chances are fish eggs and young are also riding the current past Byron Bay too.

Pollution concerns What with climate change, the subtropics are new opportunities. What will happen? Factor in the sediments and pollution coming from the

coastal lands as human settlement expands. The Declaration is concerned about all these connections. They aren’t the only ones. More events of last November. The Coral Triangle experiences coral bleaching of a scale exceeding the 1998 catastrophe. Will this also happen at the Great Barrier Reef in early 2011? Meanwhile, research continues. A major NSW project funded by four government departments is completed. The entire coastal marine habitats of the state are now mapped. Charts of the vegetation of the estuaries, contours of the oceanic areas and identification of sediments will be available online at the OzCoasts website (www.ozcoasts.org.au).

the connections ‘cross-realms’. We already see the reefs and rocks that act as refuges. Julian Rocks/Nguthungulli is one. Grey nurse sharks are one endangered species already being monitored. From 2011, local endangered black cod will be on the watchlist. The Lennox Head Reef is also on the list. New results suggest that this refuge should be included in the Cape Byron Marine Park. As the Declaration states, we must ‘adapt current conservation strategies’.

Managing fish I wonder how quickly strategies can develop. Another urgent part of marine conservation is fisheries management. Since 2003, the Bureau of Rural Sciences reports that

Already in the Great Barrier Marine Park, reef fish are protected from all fishing during their November spawning period. It’s sensible to give breeding fish a breather. Could that work in subtropic reefs too? Do some stocks need even more of a respite? Another idea goes straight to heart of the issue: reorganising fishing practice. In Chile, fishing quota is now owned by collectives of fishers. Think of it like aquatic community garden care and harvesting. Maybe we could all sign up for allotments. We then delegate the fishing effort to different harvest co-ops who work from beaches or boats. These fishers are neither ‘recreational’ nor ‘commercial’ but ‘sustainable’. But I can’t stay at the lighthouse all day, imagining a better future. If I want to serve my guests fish tonight, I need to buy some.

Govt nastiness I was impressed by one of Mungo’s recent articles about WikiLeaks. Like Mungo, I’ve also been puzzled about where all the ‘damaging’ information is. Having lived in Canberra for 30 years, I have heard so much of this stuff from local journos, Foreign Affairs staff, wives and husbands of people in the Public Service that it’s kind of old hat now. The futility of the ill-fated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is regularly reported on by various investigative journos both in the print media and television. Most damaging is the overreaction from the USA and from our own political leaders who are calling for Assange to lose his Australian passport. The last time I recall such a ridiculous reaction was back in the 70s when Liberal PM Malcolm Fraser deprived Wilfred Burchett of his Australian passport/citizenship, even refusing him re-entry into Australia for his mother’s funeral. This because Burchett was seen as being too friendly to various Communist regimes and movements in Asia. It was an ill-advised piece of nastiness then, from a Liberal Government, and it’s equally nasty coming from an ALP Government. Just goes to show… Jon Cassar

What would Council do if someone tipped out of their wheelchair as they hit a pothole because Council did not provide the safety of a footpath? Surely ratepayers are entitled to a safe residential environment at the very least.

With the NSW Government’s Home Builders Bonus, stamp duty has been removed on new homes under $600,000 where building has not started yet*. Stamp duty on vacant land purchases up to $400,000* has also been removed. For homes already under construction, stamp duty has been reduced by 25%*. The NSW Home Builders Bonus is available to everyone, including investors, who purchase a new house or apartment. And if you’re a first home buyer, you could save up to $29,490* on the cost of building a new home.

Crescent from the top where it intersects with Warrambool Road down to Yungarup Place (where I live) are a safety hazard. People (myself included) are swerving onto the wrong side of the road to miss the extremely deep holes which could easily dent a wheel or puncture a tyre if hit. It is also dangerous for myself and my 7-month-old baby due to the non-existence of footpaths in Ocean Shores (except for a small section of Rajah Road near the shops) and I am forced to push my pram in the gutter. If this wasn’t dangerous enough I now frequently have to veer the pram onto the road, potentially into the path of oncoming traffic because there are also deep potholes in the gutters. I am not overstating the dangers here as recently my baby’s pram tipped onto its side after the front wheel went into one of these ridiculously deep potholes in the gutter. I would say it is very lucky for Council that I was strong enough to catch my heavy pram averting possible injury to my baby, as a result of its negligence to ensure the safety of the roads for residents. I would hope that there are resurfacing works planned for the near future in Ocean Shores. I have contacted Council about this matter and if there is not I will be beginning a petition. Additionally I would like to see some footpaths in Ocean Shores (as I’m sure many other residents would too) so that the growing population of young families – not to mention people who have a disability and are confined to a wheelchair – can move about their town safely and independently. I have witnessed an elderly man as well as a younger man, both in wheelchairs, having to go onto the road to get to their destination (the path near the shops as well as down

If I believed it could, I would agree to pay more, but I fear no-one really believes that. I think Australia is a big dealer.

Plastic trash has a deadly impact on living creatures Rosy Whelan

Moksha Richards, the 11-year old from Brunswick Heads who wrote to The Echo on Decmeber 7, 2010, ‘on behalf of this planet’ is to be praised for reminding us of our duty of care to the animals and ecosystems that suffer as a result of our thoughtless behaviour. As Moksha wrote, ‘every time you walk past a plastic bag or some fishing line, you have killed, polluted, or hurt something or someone by default’. According to Greenpeace, we humans manufacture annually some 136 billion kg of plastic, of which a minuscule amount is actually recycled. While some plastic is buried in rubbish tips, where it breaks down into smaller pieces but never completely disappears, an inestimable amount is washed into our oceans. Tragically, animals that depend on the oceans for their food supply are unable to distinguish the difference between plastic and food. If they are unlucky enough to live in a plastic-rich habitat, they eventually choke or starve to death. Scientists have found innumerable dead fish and birds with stomachs full of the garbage that we have wantonly produced and cast aside. Or simply walked past and failed to pick up. Another alarming statistic

million tonnes of garbage and that we are all guilty of contributing to these alarming figures. So what’s wrong with letting plastic enter the oceans, apart from affecting the health of marine critters? According to Dr Frederick Vom Saal at the University of Missouri-Columbia’s Division of Biological Sciences, bisphenol A, which is used to make polycarbonate (a component of many plastic consumer products), and produced at the rate of more than three billion kg per annum, leaches into the water and causes reproduction challenges and other defects. Evidence from Europe, Asia and the USA shows that every person examined in a scientific investigation had these chemicals in their bodies. So chances are, that you and I also have them in ours. A Dead albatross chick, Midway Atoll, North Pacific Ocean, September 2009. ‘The nesting babies study in Japan showed women are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting with high levels of these plastic what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year components continually mistens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking. carry. ‘To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic ‌ was Due to the effects of bioacmoved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. This image depicts the actual cumulation, the milk of Eskistomach contents of a baby bird in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more mo mothers is now toxic, and than 2,000 miles from the nearest continent.’ they have been advised to feed Photo Chris Jordan www.chrisjordan.com/gallery/midway that should serve as a wake-up call is that in many parts of our oceans the ratio of plastic to plankton is 10:1, meaning that myriad sea creatures have no choice other than to ingest our toxic waste. Thanks to the work of oceanographer Captain Charles

Moore, most people are now aware of the Pacific Ocean’s ‘eastern garbage patch’ – a vast area of rubbish that stretches from the USA’s west coast almost to Japan. Moore reported in Natural History, vol 112, #9, November 2003, â€˜â€Ś as I gazed from the deck at the surface

of what ought to have been a pristine ocean, I was confronted, as far as the eye could see, with the sight of plastic’. Moore estimates the ‘trash stew’ to be 80 per cent plastic with a weight in excess of three million tonnes. He believes that our oceans contain at least 100

Native plants may hold the key to healing wounds Common plants such as marigold could hold the key to dealing with chronic wounds, which affect almost half a million Australians and cost around $2.6 billion to the health system annually. Southern Cross University is part of the Wound Management Innovation Co-operative Research Centre (CRC), set up in July 2010 to address key challenges in wound healing, improve quality-of-life for people with wounds, provide cost-effective wound care and ease the burden on the health

system. Dr Hans Wohlmuth is leading a Southern Cross University research team, which will conduct key research into the potential of plants, including native Australian plants, for use in wound healing and wound care. ‘Through Southern Cross Plant Science we will be identifying and isolating active plant compounds that can assist in wound management,’ Dr Wohlmuth said. ‘There is a lot of information about plants that have been used traditionally in dealing with wounds.

Many hundreds of plants have been recorded as having wound healing properties in different cultures, and one of our first tasks will be to look through the literature.’ Dr Wohlmuth said marigold (Calendula officinalis) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) were among the common plants known for their wound-healing properties. The Wound Management Innovation CRC involves participation from 22 industry and university partners and around 60 equivalent full-time re-

searchers. A total of more than $100 million will be invested by the Australian government and participants over the next eight years. ‘This is a significant research undertaking which has the potential to provide new approaches to wound healing, new therapies and dressings and best practice in wound care,’ Dr Wohlmuth said. PhD students are needed for the project. Interested persons with a suitable background should email hans.wohlmuth@ scu.edu.au.

their babies with formula milk instead. The reason for this is that Eskimos eat marine mammals high up in the food chain, and toxins, which are commonly stored in fat, become more highly concentrated as they move up the chain. Turtles can’t tell the difference between plastic bags floating in the water and jellyfish. The good folk at Australian Seabird Rescue can attest to that, as they are constantly trying to save turtles that have mistakenly ingested plastic bags. Perhaps a discarded bag that you walked past and ignored. So please, think about Moksha’s words. It’s your duty to pick up rubbish whenever and wherever you see it, particularly at the beach – why not start this summer? If you don’t, there’s every chance it will end up becoming part of you, or part of someone you love. And think about plastic products before you buy them – do you really need them? Is there some other choice? Imagine a world without plastic – it used to be that way.

After being on medication for a couple of years, I met a woman who told me all disease is a lack of self love. This really rang a bell inside of me. She suggested while taking a shower that I touch my body and lovingly talk to its different parts. To my surprise I did it and I liked the effect it had on me. When I focused this loving energy on my thyroid I would imagine a gauge with an arrow; if it pointed to the left my thyroid was underactive and if it pointed to the right it was overactive. My the thyroid was pinned to the right. I would talk to my body and ask it to bring my thyroid into balance. I would imagine the gauge moving to the centre – into balance. I did this every time I took a shower. Right away I created a salt rub with herbs and essential oils. I knew the essential oils on my skin would heat up throughout the day and that the subtle scent would trigger my morning’s intention. It became a ritual. And slowly I began to wean myself off the medication. I continued to see my doctor for the six months and I told him what I was doing. He thought what I was trying to do was crazy and it wouldn’t work. However, it did in fact work for me. I have now been off medication for nine years.

my daughter’s childhood. If the only magic that our children ever have is a belief in imaginary figures like Santa, marketing gimmicks designed to increase retail profits, then I’d rather she grow up a sad old cynic like me. She’ll be the only kid at daycare smoking a cigar, reading Nietzsche Meets Spot and scribbling Dog Is Dead on the toilet wall. I don’t think believing in Santa is healthy. It teaches us to distrust the adult world and proves outright that our parents lie to us. I was six when I found out that Santa wasn’t real. I’d left my teddy out to greet him and a neighbourhood dog had torn him to shreds. When I woke up to the polyester and flocking carnage all over the front lawn, I knew that Santa had anger management issues. It wasn’t long before I figured out he was my violent alcoholic father. Oh, the magic! My eldest daughter was nine when she found out. It was embarrassing just how long this naivety about Santa continued. She was furious. She burst into tears and screamed ‘You lied to me!’ It wasn’t long before she realised the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy were also in on it. It’s amazing what you’ll choose to believe when it suits you. There are 13-year-olds out there still putting out a glass of milk for Santa. I heard of one kid in Main Arm who leaves out a bong, a mull bowl and a Mars Bar. I think it’s time we had a Santa-free Christmas and his politically incorrect abuse of dwarfs as slave labour. Santa is not the jolly, gift-giving, red-suited fattie who lives in the North Pole with his equally obese wife. Santa is the hard working mother, or father, who’s had to work extra long hours to buy their darling little ungrateful and totally lazy shits surfboards and iPads and mobile phones. And some of us have even had to do the odd shift as a HO HO HO. Ah the magic. Doors open from 7pm and show at 8pm. Tickets are $40/45 and can be purchased online: www.kupromotions.oztix.com.au or at Barebones, All Music & Vision, or Mullum Bookshop.

I hate Santa. I despise the whole old man in a red suit bullshit. I’m not against old men, per se. I quite like them. God, I’m living with one. I just think that someone dressed in weather-inappropriate getout, wearing a fake beard and going HO HO HO is just spooky. You see them sitting behind fences in shopping centres being mobbed by overzealous mums and screaming children. Little kids don’t actually like Santa. It’s Mum’s trip. She’s the one staple-gunning the terrified bawling infant to some old bloke’s leg so she can have a Santa photo. What’s with the Santa photo? Here I am in a shopping mall sitting on the lap of some sweaty old alcoholic. You can tell by the ruddiness of my cheeks and my screams that I’m experiencing a significant trauma. Oh the magic! I’ve gone with the whole Santa thing for the other kids, but not this time. My baby daughter Ivy is already showing signs of becoming an impressive critical thinker, just like her Mummy. She’s only 20 months, but regularly points at pictures of Santa and chants ‘scary scary scary... I scared!’ Totally unprompted, I might add. (She also does it when she sees me in the nude, but we’re trying to curb that response.) There is no magic of Christmas. It’s a PR campaign. The benevolent patron of the poor, St Nicholas was usually depicted in a green and white suit but thanks to the early marketing genius of Coca-Cola, already well ahead of the game, they branded Santa in red and white and depicted swigging the bubbling black juice in Coke commercials. Hang on, Santa is an anagram of Satan. Satan Claus. HO HO HO. The dark capitalist prince of overspending and maxed-out credit cards. So I’ve decided that I’m not going to perpetuate this ridiculous commercial myth. And no, I’m not wrecking the magic of

u o Y r o f s l r i G l u f i t u a Be After returning from a solo tour in the US as support for John Butler, Mat McHugh spoke with Seven leading up to his shows with THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS at the Hotel Great Northern next week. Mat, how was it touring solo with John Butler in the States? Is there the same enthusiasm and passion for rootsy style music over there as here? It was amazing. For sure one of the most fun tours I’ve been a part of. Big rooms, great crowds plus the whole JBT band and crew are awesome. It was an honour to be able to share the stage. There certainly seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for

PASSION FLAMENCA

Summer Sunday lunch at the Italian is about to come alive with the passion of flamenco sounds. Join us from noon for fresh Italian food, cocktails, and wine overlooking the ocean. Bar menu or full a la carte.

both John and TBG over there at the moment. The John Butler Trio, in particular, seem to be blowing up. Do you prefer an acoustic format as a solo artist? I love that I get the chance to express myself musically in different ways. I love playing solo onstage and the JBT tour was the first time I’ve ever done a tour without a band. On the other hand I love being surrounded by friends that are amazing musicians and getting to make music with them onstage every night. I’m very spoiled.

What changes when you plug in and become a part of a bigger whole? Well, you have to listen to what is musically going on around you, to interact with what everybody is doing. You hit the nail on the head when you said it was a part of a whole. When it’s just me it’s a little more nerve wracking and requires a lot of concentration to get into the right headspace and carry the song alone. Both are rewarding and they help me grow as a musician and a listener. Spooks has such a summer feel; was that part of the intention when you went into the studio? I think my only intention when I make music is to represent myself honestly. A large part of who I am is defined by growing up at the beach and living that particular lifestyle. I can’t pretend that I’m from London or New York City because it just wouldn’t work. I like it when people say our music reminds them of summer or the beach because they’re both really great things to be reminded of, don’t you think? My Mind is an Echo Chamber is your latest release from Spooks, its a great title, what does it mean exactly? It’s just trying to describe missing someone so badly that it’s the only thought that rattles around in my brain. ‘I miss you’ just keeps echoing and echoing... Do you think we need a bit more distorted guitar on our airwaves? Have digital systems made things just a little too clean? I think it’s a danger for sure. There’s so much crappy, over-produced music on the radio nowadays that it’s getting ridiculous. It’s the aural equivalent of all the photo-shopping they do in the fashion media. It’s trying to

24 January 4, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

make everything perfect and larger than life. I think things that are too perfect are boring. Quirks are good. Rough edges are good. Individuality is good. Fortunately there’s a LOT of amazing music happening. It’s just that most of it doesn’t find its way onto the radio, not the commercial radio anyway. That’s why I never listen to it. What are your major genre influences? Um, hard one. I like different aspects of different styles. I love the rawness and honesty of early punk rock. I love the rhythm and groove of dub and reggae. I love the desperation of blues and good jazz. And I love the lyrics of wounded poets. I don’t stick to one genre though, that would be like eating the same meal every day. It would drive me nuts. What about your all time favourite albums – could you pick three? Not really. Right now my top three are Bitches Brew by Miles Davis, Carolina by Seu Jorge and Truth and Rights by Johnny Osbourne. That will change tomorrow. Are you working towards your fifth album yet? Absolutely, I try not to ever stop making up songs. I keep the same spirit I had when I was a kid and do it to amuse myself. I’m not sure if it’s going to come out as The Beautiful Girls or as Mat McHugh. I’ll have to wait and see.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T What is the creative process for TBGs? Do you write on the road or is that something that happens intermittently? The road, for me, is a good place to write. Lots of time driving and being bored. Those are perfect conditions to get your mind working. I tend to write songs in my head before I’ve even picked up an instrument. Sometimes I will have a bunch stored away in my brain and when I get home I will have to sit down at a piano or a guitar and learn them.

the recorded version night after night would be maddening. I feel a responsibility to give a song the best life it could possibly have each and every time it’s born. How it differs in sound depends on how we each, in the band, differ as humans day to day. Somedays the songs have a drunken, bumbling idiot father and other days they have the best father in the world. But every day I love them just as much. Maybe more.

What happens to the album once it hits the road in a live show, how far do you start to move from your recording? Do you just let the music wander or do you keep it tight? Varying degrees. We try and keep the essence of a song alive but I consider that there is no definitive version of a song. A song is born and it dies in a moment. Sometimes it’s captured onto an album but that is just one version. To lock it down too tightly and just try to replicate

What should we expect for your Byron shows? Every single song you know and (hopefully) love by The Beautiful Girls and more. If you don’t hear your favourite just yell it out and if we can remember how to play it, we will. Or at least we’ll try. Two great nights at The Hotel Great Northern: Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th January.

What Your Mamma Says Pacha Mamma’s Micka strives on the virtue that his music could inspire change in people. After seven years of travelling around the country Micka gained a worldly perspective and musical fascination. After finding his feet in NSW’s alternative capital, Byron Bay, Micka formed the latest band lineup for Pacha Mamma, with Nic on bass (formerly of Indigo Frequency and Marshall and the Fro) and Olly on drums (formerly of Dallas Frasca). This independent three piece band have been coined one of Oz’s hardest working outfits and have performed over 400 shows in the last few years alone and received airplay on JJJ. Micka was quoted by Rave magazine as ‘one man with talent that needs to be heard live to be fully appreciated,’ sweating up a storm as the one of the most physical performances witnessable with all hands, feet and breath working. The audience is left with a sense of true musicianship and an intense, positive experience. Pacha Mamma are sure to move your body, mind and spirit. Wednesday from 7pm at the Rails.

Sneaky Beachie Sneaky Sound System have blurred the lines between the charts and the clubs to the great acclaim of peers, critics and punters alike. They’ve got the ARIA awards, rave reviews and platinum and gold discs to prove it. The debut album, simply titled Sneaky Sound System and chock-full of hits (UFO, Pictures, I Love It, Goodbye, Hip Hip Hooray), broke the mould for Australian independent dance music and, having lingered in the domestic chart for more than a year, beautifully paved the way for the follow-up, which was no slouch in the top-tunes department either. Saturday from 9.30pm at The Beach Hotel.

JOE ROBINSON AT THE BYRON BAY BREWERY ON SUNDAY

MICK MCHUGH AT THE BYRON BREWERY ON MONDAY

Making Bones Hailed in Melbourne as the Belle of Rootsy Rockabilly twang, award winning songstress Abbie Cardwell had one rule when she led her Leading Men (brother Jeb on guitars and dobro and Ashley Davies on drums) into Melbourne’s Audrey studios for two hectic days. The rule was that each of the 11 songs was to be recorded with no editing and no overdubbing. It was to be Abbie and her Leading Men playing live, no more, no less. Of the time in the studio putting down her Bare Bones album Abbie says ‘It captures us just as we are live, but it has a really good studio quality sound and even though I’m biased I think it sounds amazing. It sounds so big and loud, but it’s only me Ash and Jeb.’ See for yourself at the Rails when she launches The Bare Bones Album on Thursday.

Getting Nasty at The Northern Balancing underground credibility with chart success, the Freestylers have rocked the world with hit records ‘B-Boy Stance’ and ‘Push Up’. They have played every big festival from Big Day Out to Glastonbury, sold half a million albums and even toured the US supporting Lenny Kravitz. From the days of Breakbeat’s origins, Freq Nasty established himself as one of the scene’s pioneers, producing many of the genre’s defining moments. As Breakbeat came into its own, Freq Nasty’s tunes remained ahead of the pack. Today his music is a powerful assemblage of Breaks and Dubstep, and Freq Nasty promises to be a favourite with the Byron crowd. Thursday at The Hotel Great Northern.

CINEMA REVIEWS Little Fockers You can only go so far with sequels and, by the looks of it, we’re nearing the end of the Fockers’ domestic shenanigans. It has been fun, but the third installment, untroubled in maintaining the series’ endearing if mindless mediocrity, only infrequently manages to produce the moments of hilarity that made its precursors not entirely

forgettable. And when the pièce de résistance comes with Ben Stiller sticking a needle into Robert De Niro’s erect dick, well, you’d have to concede that the humour is now even less subtle. As a gag (which might be seen as pay-back for De Niro plunging a syringe into the unsuspecting Stiller’s neck in their last outing), it is meticulously set up and laugh-out-loud, but it also

reflects a skinny script overdependent on contrivance. Paul Weitz, who directed a couple of Hugh Grant’s best comedies, About A Boy (2002) and American Dreamz (2006), does a laudable job with inferior material, relying on the story’s characters to save the day – which they do. Again, the central motif is the conflict between male-nurse Greg Focker (Stiller) and his overbearing father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (De Niro), a retired CIA spook – both fine comic actors; the casting of them as antagonists was inspired. Here, with the little Focker twins’ birthday bash being prepared, they are at loggerheads over Greg’s worthiness for the role of family patriarch. But it is the return of Owen Wilson as Kevin, the fabulously vain but ingenuous, alternative lifestyle playboy (we first see him skyping Greg from his yacht in the Black Sea, with Deepak Chopra a crewie) that gives the movie its refreshing silliness. It’s just as well, too, given the flabby contributions from Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman (he looks a hundred) as Greg’s parents, included as an afterthought or because of contractual agreements. The vivacious Jessica Alba as Andi Garcia (thankfully, the joke with the name is not overdone), a randy pharmaceuticals rep, walks away with her introductory scene, in which she and Greg perform an enema, and provides much needed feminine oomph,

there being precious little for Blythe Danner (Dina Byrnes) and Teri Polo (Greg’s kitchenbound wife, Pam) to do other than be the chorus behind the blokes. References to popular culture are plentiful and sharp, the satire is pleasing – a segment at a school for gifted children, with Laura Dern its outrageously gushing principal, is a beauty – and, though it’s not as good as the others (if good is the right word), I enjoyed it heaps. ~ John Campbell

The Tourist For the reviewer, there are two types of movies. First there are the ones that draw you entirely into an imagined world, leaving you to gather your thoughts only after emerging from it as the final credits roll, and then there are those so excruciating that you are champing at the bit to give them heaps with still an hour to run. This belongs to that second category. It’s awful, and might serve as a classic example of what so often happens when an unknown director of an acclaimed European film – in this case Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck of ‘The Lives Of Others’ (2006) – is lured by the blinding chimera of a big budget, glam stars and postcard locations. Elise (Angelina Jolie) is in secretive contact with Alexander Pearce, a mastermind on the run who has pinched billions from a gangster (Steven Berkoff) and who is sought by the British police for tax evasion. To keep the cops off Pearce’s trail, Elise boards a train from Paris to Venice, plonks herself down in front of innocent Frank (Johnny Depp), a brown corduroy-clad Wisconsin maths teacher, and makes a decoy of him for the stereotypically outwitted Inspector Acheson (Paul Bettany). Meanwhile the ruthless bad guy, Ward, and his Russian henchmen (no, there is nothing original in the story), are running amok in pursuit of the stolen dosh, which they also believe is in the possession of Frank. Poor Depp looks bewildered throughout, trying hard but only managing to extract tiny

performance is nauseatingly arch and if I had to endure one more close-up of her heavily painted face (too many profiles only highlight her massive jutting jaw – you could crack a macadamia with it) I would have screamed. As romantic leads, their chemistry is as steamy as George and Mildred’s. Music is loud and intrusive and, peculiarly for a sexy crime fantasy, it all moves at a snail’s pace – even the main chase scene is a dud, waterlogged by the confines of narrow canals. The little boy next to me (why any parent would take a child to morsels of humour (he greets such a film is baffling), having an Italian concierge with a got as much pop-corn on the nicely delivered ‘bon jovi’, but floor as in his mouth, spent it doesn’t get any better than the duration fidgeting with that) from a script that does not know whether it wants to restless boredom. I felt the be Get Smart or The Thirty-Nine same way. Steps. Jolie’s endlessly pouting ~ John Campbell

Solution to last puzzle

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

E ARIES: 2011’s your year Aries, so ask the seven essential questions. What do you want to achieve? What would you love to, and is it different? What qualities are necessary? What are you willing to do? And prepared to stop doing? When will you start? Who’s your support team?

K L IBRA: This year wants you upgrading your natural talents, summoning up skills you never knew you had and turning your mind to new avenues of creative enterprise. And this week’s balancing act is between temptation and practical reality, especially at the temples of retail new year sales.

F TAURUS: Mars starts the year off with a massive attack of Taurus-friendly planetary placements giving your goals and ambitions a significant leg up. Though the present gestalt challenges comfortable old familiar ways of doing things, this year’s emphasis remains above all on quality of life…

L SCORPIO: This week’s material world emphasis makes money, comfort and security seem important. They are, but not at the cost of your happiness. Take a good look at the tremendous amount you already have. Change and growth aren’t always easy, but they are exhilarating.

G G EMINI: It’s a new year, a new decade, and you’re in the mood for change. But as you jettison what’s passe, give serious thought to what you want taking its place, because this year you get what you ask for – starting with this week’s focus on shared finances.\

SAGITTARIUS: The baby year’s fresh and new, you’re all gung M ho ready to go with a panorama of possibilities unfurling into the future like the yellow brick road. Try to keep those hooves on Planet Earth, and know that all kindness extended this week will be readily returned.

H CANCER: It’s obvious that where certain things from last year are concerned an era has passed and it’s time to move on. No need to hit the spin cycle though, because the new year offers positive, optimistic, inspiring options for a fresh start on your true path.

N CAPRICORN: With a cosmic cornucopia of Sun, Mars, midweek solar eclipse and your annual new moon in Capricorn, write down (yes write, don’t just think about) your goals and resolves for the year while uberCapricorn energy’s holding the reins, making the decisions and calling the shots.

I L EO: Happy new year Majesties. It’s a pleasure to announce this year’s off the starting blocks with a purposeful power surge of confidence, resolve and ambitious plans which have excellent chances of getting up. Look for the opportunity in every setback and you’ll be unstoppable.

O AQUARIUS: This year’s radical shifts could rock your workplace world, but who’s to say that won’t be in a good way? Late week Aquarius moon’s good for formulating new strategies and clarifying your game plan before the wheels of the year shift into gear.

J V IRGO: Wishing all Mercurians a clean and serene new year, with midweek new moon the most auspicious for constructing your wish list for the coming month. Done? Now revise and expand it, deleting outdated programs in your personal files to make room for newer, truer ones.

P P ISCES: This year kicks off with a lucky week of job opportunities coming your way. Follow up on offers because a practical attitude will get positive results in the work world, which looks more promising as fortune-bringing Jupiter presents you with some unusual invitations.

CHESS by Ian Rogers

Some say that she should not have bothered to pick up such a trinket, but 16-year-old Hou Yifan is the new Women’s World Champion, having won the title last week in Antakya, Turkey. Hou (pictured) has been tipped for glory since she emerged from Xinghua, in Jiangsu Province, China, as a nine-year-old and convincingly won the World U/10 Girls Championship. Immediately she and her mother were convinced to move to the main Chinese training centre in Beijing, leaving school behind and effectively becoming a nine-year-old chess professional.

Hopes remain high that Hou Unlike the legendary Judit Polgar, now 34, who has been the can emulate Polgar in reaching top woman player in the world the top ten – if only to refute since she was 12, Hou was not Garry Kasparov’s dismissal of the encouraged by her mentors to potential of women other than Polgar with the throwaway line, compete solely in mixed events.

Remembrance of things pasta Victoria Cosford

A friend once told me about her fresh pasta business in Sydney’s Balmain, years ago. She described evocatively and amusingly the draping of endless eggy strands of freshly extruded pasta all over her house as it was left to dry – and what I mostly felt was admiration. Admiration and a little envy, because the one and only one time I attempted to make my own, using a small domestic appliance snapped up from a garage sale, was an unequivocal disaster, with blobs of dough appending to every surface of the kitchen, locatable for days after the experiment. I never tried again, cheering myself with the reminder that even in Italy there are very few who bother making their own fresh pasta: it’s much more sensible to buy it, made by experts, from a deli. Fresh pasta, unlike dried, almost invariably involves a dough containing eggs. It is neither superior nor inferior to dried – according to Marcella Hazan, ‘one is quite as good as the other, but what you can do with the former you would not necessarily want to do with the latter’, meaning the choice of sauce to serve with it. Fresh egg pasta is mentioned in the first modern Italian manuscript cookbook, from Florence around the year 1300, so it goes back at least that far. In its simplest form it is just flour, eggs and salt, a type used widely all over Italy, although the Tuscan variety adds a little oil. One woman who spent a year in a Tuscan village perfecting its craft in order to turn it into a small business is Emanuelle Clarke. A relative newcomer to the Northern Rivers together with partner and trained chef Dario Bartoletti, Emanuelle learned how to make fresh pasta from Dario’s nonne, grandmothers, in his hometown of San Marcello. San Marcello is a hill-town in the Appenines in the province of Pistoia, located about 45 kilometres from Florence and towering 623 metres above sea level. Here Emanuelle ‘threw myself into the pasta thing,’ she tells me over coffee. ‘The first time I made it with the nonne I thought, that’s it! I really enjoyed learning it. The nonne were very poor

Emanuelle met Dario in Melbourne ‘in a pub called Eurotrash, the day he landed’. She was working for an engineering company at the time and about to head to Bangkok and a job as a communications volunteer; because they had fallen in love it was inevitable that Dario join her. They spent a year there, Dario not having much luck with work as a chef de partie (‘but I had the chance to improve my tennis!’ he tells me) before heading to Tuscany. The idea was to eventually establish a business on the Far North Coast of NSW, where Emanuelle had visited often, and although ‘Dario would have preferred to make gelati’ they decide that fresh pasta would be a more sensible, less seasonal option. ‘All I did was research pasta,’ says Emanuelle. She attended the big pasta fair in Bologna; she ‘experimented with fillings and the consistency of dough and how many yolks.’ And both she and Dario researched how to set up their business and source their ingredients. The result is pastagialla, utilising as many organic and locally-grown ingredients as possible, in keeping with their Slow Food philosophies. They have only been operating for a couple of months, servicing farmers markets in Mullumbimby, Blue Knob and Bangalow, occasionally at the Byron Bay Community Market; their own garden at Tyalgum yields the silverbeet, zucchini, fennel and basil which either fill their pastas or go into sauces. They are young and passionate and determined to keep making everything by hand using traditional techniques and sustainable methods – and the region is the richer for them. ‘It’s been really nice,’ Emanuelle tells me, ‘getting to know the local farmers and buying produce from them, buying from around the corner...’ Their very beautiful website is www.pastagialla. com – their stained-glass pasta (parsley pressed between very thinly rolled sheets) more beautiful still.

The perfect hangover cure: fact or fiction? With the party season in full swing, Bupa Australia suggests that the best hangover cure starts before you even have your first drink. Reviewing some widely touted hangover cures, Bupa recommends the key to help avoid typical hangover symptoms – such as headaches, nausea, stomach upsets, tiredness, irritability and difficulty concentrating – lies in drinking responsibly and understanding the effects of alcohol on your body. Dr Christine Bennett, Chief Medical Officer of Bupa Australia, said that it was important for people to drink responsibly to help minimise the negative effects of alcohol. ‘While drinking alcohol in limited amounts can be enjoyable, and one or two drinks may even have some small benefit for cardiovascular health, it’s essential that people stick to safe drinking practices,’ she said. ‘Substituting every second alcoholic drink for a non-alcoholic one and not drinking on an empty stomach can make a big difference to how you feel the next day and to your long term wellbeing. ‘Since the main causes of a hangover are most likely to be dehydration and lack of sleep it is recommended that drinking plenty of water, preferably before going to sleep and then again when waking, as well as rest, may help. A mild analgesic, such as two paracetamol, may also reduce the severity of the headache.’ Common hangover cures – do they work? Mild analgesic: A couple of paracetamol either before going to bed or on waking may help the headache. Alcohol irritates the stomach lining so analgesics that irritate the stomach such as aspirin or ibuprofen are not recommended. Multi-vitamins: While dehydration may mean that your body is low on vitamin B and C, there is minimal evidence to show that supplements

such as vitamin B will help. A fried breakfast: While eggs and other typical breakfast foods such as sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes may provide salts and vitamins that have been lost, make sure it is isn’t a high fat fry-up. Coffee: While the caffeine in tea and coffee may make you feel more awake, too much caffeine will dehydrate you further. Exercise: For the brave, exercise will actually speed up the detoxification process and take your mind off feeling terrible. It is important that you drink plenty of water before, during and after exercising, and don’t exercise if you’re feeling too groggy, as it may increase your risk of an accident. Tips to help minimise the impact of alcohol: Never drink on an empty stomach – eat a substantial meal before you go out. Have at least two alcohol free days each week. Do not drink alcohol if you are taking medications (especially those that may enhance the effects of alcohol) such as antibiotics, antianxiety medications, barbiturates and sedatives. Do not drink alcohol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. For every alcoholic drink, have a non-alcoholic one, and don’t mix different types of alcoholic drinks. Drink plenty of water before you go out and when you get home. Organise a designated driver before you go out, and never drink and drive.

Keeping an ‘i’ on safety

With more than 85 deaths on NSW beaches in the past two years, making the right safety information easily available to the public is increasingly important. To complement, the Surf Life Saving NSW beach safety website has been enhanced with the introduction of a free iPhone application which puts up-to-date beach and surf safety information at everyone’s fingertips. The app provides information on beaches nearest you, including the patrol services available each day, whether they are volunteer lifesavers or lifeguards. Photos are included

Phoenix is rising

and you can also view current weather, swell and tide conditions and even directions on how to get there. Beachsafe for iPhone will make it even easier for beachgoers to choose the safest place to swim, between the red and yellow flags, wherever they may be along the coast this summer. Surf Life Saving NSW Lifesaving Manager, Dean Storey, hopes that having real-time, portable beach safety information will reduce drowning deaths and incidents over summer. ‘Safety on our coastline starts with smart decision making on where and when to go for a swim,’ he said. ‘Beachsafe now provides information on every beach in Australia and most importantly which ones are patrolled and when.’ With the peak holiday season about to start, Storey urges all iPhone users to download this free application and to always swim between the red and yellow flags. If you don’t have an iPhone, you can access the site via internet at www. beachsafe.org.au, or on any Phoenix Smith will be competing in the Australian Eightball mobile device by browsing to Championships to be held in Darwin from the January 15-22. the website.

How to make The Echo sport staff happy The Echo sport editorial staff would like to wish all our sport pages readers a very Merry Merry and a Happy Happy and to deliver our annual request for sanity in sports results submissions. Due to time restrictions on Monday (our production day), if we are to accept results from the weekend, we can only accept submisions that are sent by email – retyping results is time consuming on a day that we need to be speedy. If you are not an internet user, you might find someone in your club or oganisation who is and can help you out with an electronic submission. Please send your sports results to results@echo.net.au before 11am on a Monday to get into that week’s Echo issue. When typing out your results for the email, please remember that the layout that looks great up on a notice board is not suitable for sport page results. For an idea on how to write up your results, look at the section for our layout. Please feel free

to enter results into the body of the email rather thn an attachement as this also saves time. Our pet hate is text written ALL IN CAPITALS and lots of spaces between the words. We love text that is concise, accurate and in plain format. A rambling story with lots of in house references and jokes does not fit into the brief and concise nature of the Echo Sports Results columns. Write results in the same manner that you would write to a friend (without the juicy gossip). Groups sending in their results monthly may be disappointed because we do not always have room for long reports. Send your emails in weekly to keep everyone up to date on your results. If you have a special sports story, please send your email to sport@echo.net.au and this will go straight to Eve Jeffery the sports editor. Have a happy and sport and sun safe new year and good luck with your ventures in sport in 2011.

Can a journalist have a political objective or be an ‘active player’? Darian Worden

Public officials reeling from the first round of diplomatic cable releases are trying to find as many ways to fight WikiLeaks as possible. A major area of attack seems to revolve around defining what is truly journalism versus what may be subject to censorship. US State Department spokesman P J Crowley is trying to delegitimise the speech that WikiLeaks is engaged in. According to CNN (‘McCain presses for accountability in WikiLeaks breach’) he said that WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange ‘could be considered a political actor. I think he’s an anarchist, but he’s not a journalist.’ Crowley went on to say:

observer of anything. He’s an active player. He has an agenda, he’s trying to pursue that agenda and I don’t think he can qualify either as a journalist on the one hand or a whistle-blower on the other.’ Because Assange is an ‘active player’ pursuing a political agenda and not an ‘objective observer’, Crowley says that the protections afforded to journalists should not apply to him or the organisation he represents. But a truly objective observer can’t really exist. The best a journalist can do is try to be as unbiased as possible and present objective facts to the best of his ability.

broad access to data. What if political beliefs inspire people to start a competing news service because they don’t like the way news has been prioritised in established venues? Are they not journalists? Julian Assange and the rest of the WikiLeaks staff play an editorial role in the public distribution of information. They make information accessible to the general public and give news to prominent media. The US internet user can read their Cablegate files as easily as a foreign intelligence analyst can. WikiLeaks is clearly presenting information that interests a large segment of the public. And it presents it in the form of raw data, which is as objective as news can be. While the choices made by WikiLeaks staff about how data will be presented to the public do involve personal priorities, this is no more biased than the arrangement of articles in a newspaper or the length of time a news broadcast spends on a story. Whatever political motivation Assange has (and it does appear that his views are close to anarchism), it has not compromised the ability of WikiLeaks to present credible information to the public. WikiLeaks has neither promoted falsehoods nor tried to spin events into any favorable narrative. It does not need to make compromises to obtain sources through official channels, as its reputation for credibility, accessibility, and protecting sources means that anybody within an organisation can pass along inside information. Crowley says that because Assange is actively pursuing an agenda, he cannot be a whistleblower or a journalist. Having an agenda couldn’t really disqualify Assange from being a whis-

tleblower, since a whistleblower almost by definition has an agenda. But could Assange’s political agenda prevent him from being a journalist? Only if the success of his agenda requires distorting the truth. If a reformer’s dedication to exposing corruption leads to his discovery of backroom deals that others have overlooked, he has done good journalism. Similarly, if Assange’s agenda is to ‘undermine the international system’, as Crowley puts it, the truthful revealing of bad behaviour that governments hide would indeed be journalism. If Assange believes that revealing the truth will create support for his political agenda, then he can be a reliable journalist with a political agenda. Crowley’s remarks are especially out of touch in an era of citizen journalism. Should every blogger, YouTube uploader, or podcast producer complete a loyalty oath before being allowed to distribute information? Journalism, like any craft, may continue to have specialists, but amateurs should not be prohibited from participating. Critics of WikiLeaks decry its staff ’s motivations, its spokesman’s unrelated alleged crimes, and its ability to resist persecution. All this noise is meant to drown out the issues they don’t want to face: WikiLeaks is a reliable source of news that makes them look bad.

dia. In Iceland the Viking Sagas were passed on for hundreds of years in this fashion, until being written down and preserved into the age of pens. Why there is a discrepancy in the loss of brain mass between men and women is not explained in this work. The exploration of ant communities and how they form super-organisms is fascinating. He goes on to describe our global civilisation as the biggest and most complex super-organism of them all. In this way Flannery makes the connection between nature and human society. He suggests that, ‘If we take too small a view of what we are, and of our world, we will fail to reach our full potential’ (page 272). In this expansive approach to science and life, he claims that there are ‘rules that guide the development of civilizations’ (page 137).

Natural laws

he had to do to inherit eternal life (Luke 10: 25-37). Love was given a context for life’s action to deliver results in a larger pageant of life. In an age when cosmologists speculate about our universe happening in a vaster realm that they call the multiverse, there is an opportunity to use science to frame a larger, deeper and higher context for love, hope and the transcendent qualities of life, including sublime happiness and our experience of beauty, whether in the arts or in the presence of Nature. Flannery points out that our cities are fragile and could grind to a smelly standstill within days if the power were cut. He also reveals a tender nerve when describing how angry young men with nothing to live for in Somalia become pirates and despite billions of dollars invested in naval prevention by many nations, there is little that can stop this plague, especially as more dangerous weapons become available. In this theme Flannery makes an impassioned plea for the young men of Papua New Guinea, that we must ‘empower their societies and families, and so give them something to live for’ (page 232). In this context Flannery is walking the same talk as Nicholas Stern when he declares in Blueprint for a Safer Planet that climate change and poverty must be dealt with together, that one cannot be solved without fixing the other. This concept was raised by conservationists like Charles Birch in the 1970s with statements such as ‘an ecologically sustainable society living a globally equitable lifestyle’. Flannery states that ‘poverty has to be everyone’s enemy in a globalised world’ (page 232).

Amnesty International gains a mention in this book as seemingly the villains of Copenhagen, because ‘they called on Denmark to arrest President al-Bashir of Sudan over breaches of human rights, Sudan set out to wreck the negotiations’. This is the world of Realpolitik, or power politics, where perfect plans will be sunk by emotional demands. The fate of the youth of Papua New Guinea, for instance, cannot be separated from the fact that West Papua was handed over to Indonesia to buy a proWest peace, at a time when Holland and Australia were working together for the independence of the whole island. Instead of a strong independent island of New Guinea, there are now ongoing problems in both parts of the island. The youth of Gaza are mentioned, but can the problem of angry Palestinian youth be separated from Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, even though this is illegal in international law? If we are to solve the climate change challenge and send poverty into history, we must also address geopolitical issues, or as with Sudan, the problem returns to bite deeply into our political rumps when we least need it. Professor Flannery also includes the fascinating fact that since we stopped being hunters and gatherers our brains have shrunk, by 10 per cent in men and by 14 per cent in women (page 126). I wonder if this relates to the prolific memory required before reading and writing replaced oral traditions, when all stories and law were preserved in the mind and the landscape was read in fine detail like an encyclopae-

<echowebsection=News Extra>

where we are now, but if we have incurred critical tipping points that will take us inevitably into dangerous climate change, and potentially a dead Earth, our reality could already be up a smelly polluted creek in a barbed wire canoe and no paddle available. Flannery suggests that ‘Hope is a powerful tonic’, but we will need more than hope to solve our present crisis on Earth. As the prophet, he has brought back only one slab from the mountain. He may wake up to this detail and go back to fetch the other slab and if he does, the final pages of this book may become the beginning of his next work, exploring how we can deliver a safe future on Earth as we build an amazing Solar civilisation among the stars. This could be the hope that will get humanity mobilised on Earth, a challenge that we can get our teeth into, to actually save the Earth as we secure the liberty of the celestial realm. There are some errors in the book that the reader may like to watch out for: Writing for Readings, Professor Ian Lowe, President of the Australian Conservation Foundation, found a couple of errors. ‘There are a few uncharacteristic slips that should not have escaped the editing process. One unfortunately worded sentence blurs the components of Australian population growth and could reinforce the widespread myth that the increase is solely due to immigration. The discussion of the success of the Montreal Protocol is oversimplified; it was only after the agreement was strengthened at subsequent meetings in Stockholm and London that the treaty finally banned production and release of CFCs. The costing figures for Borisov’s ambitious geo-engineering scheme are clearly wrong.’

If there are rules guiding the development of civilisation, then those rules can only be part of the natural laws that govern evolution and the emergence of life into ever greater diversity. Flannery does not confront the question of why human consciousness and our civilisation exist in Nature and what purpose we could have for the planet. He suggests ‘that our environmental problems ultimately stem from having escaped coevolution’s grip’ (page 68). Did we escape, or were we released? If we were released, what did we do with our liberty? Did we develop space technology? Did we fail to act on our ability to expand into space when we had the chance? Is our survival as a species now at risk because we failed to act on serious space development when we had the chance to act? We didn’t appreciate the problem in the 1970s, but we are learning about its consequences now. Flannery wonders if we are alone in the Universe.

Pre-approve your New Year’s property purchase Soon-to-be borrowers sometimes rely on their own judgment or that of an online calculator to determine the property loan amount they can afford to borrow and repay. Risky business. Australia’s largest independently-owned mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice, encourages property buyers of all types looking to purchase in the New Year to

be realistic about their borrowing power by looking into a home loan pre-approval. Mortgage Choice spokesperson Kristy Sheppard said, ‘As potential purchasers prepare to head into the heat of the summer buying season it’s always a good idea to know exactly how much you can afford to spend on your ideal property. ‘Online loan repayment calculators are a handy starting point, however, borrowers-to-be need to understand they provide only an estimate of a person’s borrowing power and ability to repay. ‘Genuine loan pre-approval follows a similar process to a full loan application whereby borrowers will be assessed on their individual circumstances and needs and are required to verify their identity and ability to repay the loan. Other conditions usually need to be met to move to full finance approval, such as a suitable property valuation.

‘Keep in mind a pre-approval is usually granted for a period of three to six months and can be sourced through a mortgage broker. During this time, it’s important for borrowers to regularly check-in with their broker as changes in their financial circumstances may void it. ‘It’s also important to shop around. Not all lenders provide loan pre-approvals and some do not tap into an individual’s financial situations in order to do so. This may see a potential buyer receive a different borrowing limit upon applying for full loan approval and, like those without pre-approval, this could see them miss out on a property because it’s outside of their loan limits.’

Illustration: Anstey Homes – Solaris 6

According to Mortgage Choice, the top five benefits of a home loan pre-approval are that it: 1. Gives you time, without the pressure to buy, to explore your loan options thoroughly 2. Saves time (and lessens possible disappointment) by concentrating the property search in a feasible price range

3. Enables real estate/buyers agents to see you as a serious property buyer 4. Helps you gain confidence for bidding at auction or negotiating a purchase 5. Quickens the settlement process as the loan is already part of the way approved.

to be 16,800 dwellings in 2010/11 and 21,000 dwellings in 2011/12. ‘Over the medium to longer term the undersupply of new housing will contribute to a further deterioration in housing affordability for aspiring home buyers and for those in the rental market, and this issue demands urgent attention from governments at all levels,’ said Dr Dale. ‘A pressing concern is the ongoing dire lack of finance available for residential projects. The credit crunch is a major constraint on new home building activity. Although the labour market is improving, a subdued dwelling price outlook and higher interest rates are forecast to see the total worth of the renovations sector remain flat in 2010/11. Growth of one per cent is forecast in 2011/12, taking renovations activity to $31.3 billion in total value.

That week of wet weather over Christmas was a bit like a return to the 1980s, when cabin fever could last three weeks, and Tim Tams had to be flown up into the hills. The local SES was busy with seven rescues. Police in the SE Queensland disaster started charging people for doing dumb things, like driving their car into a flooded creek crossing. We’ll say it again: even shallow water can have a lot of force in its flow, so don’t risk your life.

Richmond MP Justine Elliot in reply to Echo questions on the WikiLeaks affair said she had ‘always supported transparency in government, including the publication of information that has been lawfully obtained and that is in the public interest’. But the MP says that as the matter had been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), she would not comment further. As we all know, the AFP dismissed the issue fairly quickly, saying no laws had been broken, so it seems a little coy of the MP to have no further opinion. Q Q Q Q

Backlash was shocked to find that two of our favourite tipples are so water-intensive to produce. According to G magazine, it takes 1,120 litres of water to produce a litre of coffee and 960 litres for one litre of wine, white or red. Tea drinkers can feel more virtuous at 140 litres per one litre. These are global averages and you can cut down the production impacts by buying as locally as possible.
