Paperbark arts classic

Responding to the flood threat

Exploiting the sensuous, soft, skin-like qualities of paper bark, sculptor Sabine Brosche puts the finnishing touch to her Byron Arts Classic winning piece, Fragile World #1. Exhibition co-ordinator Tess Cullen said ‘We have had very good numbers through the Community Centre, and perhaps because of the inclement weather people have been spending two and three hours taking in the 340 art works. We’ve sold a lot of work with six pieces going to Sydney, Melbourne and further afield.’ Photo by Jeff ‘Barking up the wrong tree’ Dawson.

Six-day Bluesfest approved by Council Council votes six in favour, one against, for a one-off extra day Hans Lovejoy

The prospects of a second Bob Dylan appearance appears promising after Council voted 6-1 in favour of the extra day. Cr Cameron voted against while Cr Morrisey was absent. A relieved Bluesfest director Peter Noble told The Echo he will now try to secure Dylan. ‘I feel confident it will happen,’ he said by phone while overseas.

‘We are virtually sold out so this day will hopefully be an opportunity for locals to grab a ticket.’ The extra day had been in limbo since Council deferred a meeting last November. At the time Mr Noble claimed that the delay could mean the loss of the booking, and had started the process for both for Ministerial intervention and a Land and Environment court application.

‘I wasn’t trying to attack council staff,’ he said, referring to the intervention and court application, ‘It was just an attempt for my small business to proceed in a successful manner, within the guidelines of our constitution.’ Mr Noble claims he is ‘not interested in expanding’ the yearly event beyond its current capacity. He did however fire a broadside at Council’s Festival Events Policy,

which he claims is ineffectual. ‘It’s not a gateway for start up events,’ he said. ‘Council has no Events Manager either, and I am told by NSW Tourism that Tweed is now the leading Shire with regards to festivals and events.’ Byron United President Sevegne Newton said she is thrilled that Council approved the extra day. ‘It continued on page 2

Byron Shire is bracing for more rain. As of going to press, www.bom. gov.au/ issued a warning for renewed moderate to major flooding along the Richmond and Wilsons River for the next two days. In response, Council says it has moved to protect residents and important community infrastructure against possible flood damage. ‘Council is doing all it can to minimise any impact predicted bad weather might have on residents and important community infrastructure, should it arrive,’ Community Infrastructure Executive Manager Phillip Holloway said. Mr Holloway said Council’s response to the flood threat had already included the following measures: Pallets of sandbags have been filled in preparation for use by the SES; ‘Water Over Road’ signage has been taken to key hot spots throughout the Shire, eg Mullumbimby Road near Uncle Tom’s pies; Shire roads which are expected to be affected during the weekend have been listed on the www.myroadinfo.com.au website; and information from Emergency Management Australia will be distributed to Council’s access points throughout the Shire. The information covers what to do before, during, and after a flood event. Administrative staff say they will also update road closure information on the www.myroadinfo.com.au website, and will monitor the South Golden Beach Pump Station Telemetry. Mr Hollway said that while Council staff will liaise with the SES regarding the possible need for more sandbags, Byron Shire residents requiring sandbags during the weekend had to phone the SES on 132 500. CountryLink customers are also being advised of changes to services due to flooding of the rail line in Northern NSW. Flooding between Glen Innes and Grafton has caused cancellation to the road coach service between Moree and Grafton until further notice.

Council’s General Manager Graeme Faulkner said Council had an important job to do in getting the balance right regarding Bluesfest’s application. ‘Byron Shire Council is committed to seeing the region’s creative industries thrive,’ he said. ‘But as part of its relationship with the community, Council also has a responsibility to make sure creative industries grow in a sustainable way.’ Mr Faulkner said ensuring the festival’s sustainability involved allowing residents to have their say on the extension, as well as following proper planning processes. ‘It was only fair community members had a right to have a say on what is proposed near their backyards,’ he said. ‘There were 30 community submissions regarding the application, which had to be carefully considered. ‘Council staff also had a duty to the community to apply the proper planning process to the Bluesfest application. ‘This is why an adequate amount of time had to be given to consider the application, and why councillors ultimately voted on the festival extension at the earliest opportunity.’ Mr Faulkner said the festival extension was part of an ongoing process of ensuring the sustained success of Bluesfest.

it’s all just a simple twist of fate: Bob Dylan’s second appearance should be confirmed – or not – shortly.

‘Since councillors approved the original Bluesfest application to hold the festival at a purpose built site in Tyagarah in September 2009, Council has received 11 requests to amend the application,’ he said. ‘Each of these applications was assessed with a view to creating a sustainable Bluesfest that benefits festival goers, as well as the Byron Shire community. The process regarding this latest application was no different.’

Cr Cameron: why I voted against Cr Cameron told The Echo there were a number of issues for his desicion to vote against the extra day. These included unresolved impacts on residents, impacts

on koalas, incomplete environmental monitoring, unresolved traffic management issues, lack of engineering advice regarding flooding impacts associated with proposed new camping areas, no adequate assessment of patron safety on site and potential impacts on public safety off site. ‘Thirty submissions were received,’ he said, ‘all against the application. Residents speaking at public access prior to the Council meeting reported on how the festival impacted on residential amenity including an incident where speaker stacks were redirected toward residences during the 2010 event contrary to consent conditions. ‘Also mentioned, an inability to have concerns registered and addressed, which is an inadequate response.

‘Residents are entitled to have their concerns considered. Further efforts are required to reduce impacts such as noise on residential amenity.’ ‘Identified impacts on koala population have been effectively ignored and not been addressed. ‘Slashing of identified core koala habitat for additional camping areas is unacceptable, especially as these areas have previously been set aside to provide compensatory habitat to ameliorate impacts on koalas associated with the 2010 event. The lack of any precautionary approach, particularly a lack of baseline information regarding impacts on flora and fauna, is a serious concern. Such information is significantly devalued if it is not established prior to impacts occurring. ‘Sustainable event management is not consistent with such a cavalier approach to impacts on koalas, other fauna and flora. ‘Unresolved flooding, traffic management and emergency evacuation procedures raise doubts as to whether patron safety can be guaranteed. Public safety may be jeopardised as service organisations and emergency services are likely to be stretched to their limits on the last day of a peak holiday period that coincides with ANZAC day and no assessment of whether services are able to cope in the event of an emergency has been undertaken.’ This year’s Bluesfest will run from Thursday, April 21 to Tuesday, April 26.

Miranda Kelly will learn the basics of banking and study for the HSC during her traineeship at the Commonwealth Bank.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Mullumbimby student Miranda Kelly’s traineeship is money in the bank for her future. As part of the Indigenous School Based Traineeship (ISBT) program, Miranda has begun to learn the ropes at the Commonwealth Bank Brunswick Heads branch. The Commonwealth Bank has been offering traineeships since 2003 to Year 11 and Year 12 students throughout its branches creating opportunities for Indigenous people and communities to develop their skills and build a career in the financial services industry. Miranda, who is about to begin year 11 at Wollongbar, will study English, maths, art, photography and biology and will also train a day a week in Brunswick Heads learning the skills needed for a successful career in banking. Ms Kelly has already spent her school holidays learning the basics at the branch and will travel to Sydney for a week for an intensive course, which will see her return to Bruns as a learner teller. Miranda says she has been

observing while beside the staff, but is looking forward to a more hands on role when she returns from Sydney. ‘Up until now I have been doing some supervised telling,’ she said. ‘When I get back from Sydney I can really get into it. This is a really good opportunity. I have always wanted to go into banking. I will still be looking at all other angles for my HSC, but 50 per cent of the people who do this training get offered a job and I hope to be working full time from when I leave school.’

Crash claims teenage life near Ballina Police have reported that a 16-year-old boy was killed when the Ford Falcon he was travelling in crashed into an embankment on the Pacific Highway about 15km south of New Italy, near Ballina. The driver, a 44-year-old Tyndale man, sustained internal injuries while a 15-year-old girl, who was also a passenger in the car, suffered two fractured legs and was airlifted to Lismore Base Hospital in a serious condition. www.echo.net.au

Not everyone visiting the Far North Coast this summer wanted to be at the beach, or sitting in cafes in Byron Bay. Inland, the Bangalow Starlight Wellbeing Expo had already lured a lot of punters by mid-morning of its first day. Now in its 14th year, the four day expo constitutes a showcase of therapies, healing techniques, teachings and talks. Organiser Raym Richards told The Echo that when it first began it was held in the surf club at Byron Bay. ‘I had to move out of Byron because the venue wasn’t big enough,’ he said. ‘I started using the A&I Hall before it was renovated. And really we’ve outgrown this but there’s nowhere else to take it – and I like it here!’ He said that originally it

had been called a celebration of healing, ‘but really it’s about people accessing ways to be healthier, happier and more fulfilled. Nowadays we call it complementary – it’s a more accurate description instead of alternative.’ Filling the two main rooms of the hall are trestle tables, cosy bays and massage beds. On offer is amber myropractic, sacred geometry, tarot readings, foot detoxes, kinesiology, crystal healing and Bowen therapy. Cafe Chat down one end is doing a roaring trade in vegetarian meals and chai and there’s a comfortable hum throughout the hall. At Magic Massages (‘Free! Take a seat!’), a woman does just that, pulling her son down beside her – though not for long. ‘Are you too scared?’, I ask him. ‘I’m

too ticklish!’ replies 13-year old Tom Thurn from Sydney. ‘The thing is,’ Raym said, ‘people can come here and have a taste of what’s on offer. You’d be surprised by how many profound experiences people have in this contemporary setting.’ He was pleased with the start to the expo. ‘This is a lovely start,’ he said. ‘People have really come out for it. There are a lot of men here too – men are

getting braver, trying things of their own volition. ‘They’re looking for answers and I think this place has some answers.’ Asked whether he himself was still getting answers he thought for a while. ‘That’s a deep question! No, I’m providing them… or trying tao provides them.’ As I left the hall, trance-like, Raym called out ‘It’s the Byron groove!’

Moves to protect sports complex site Byron Shire Council says it has taken action to prevent erosion damage to the new Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Complex site. Community Infrastructure Executive Manager Phil Holloway said recent heavy rain has required Council staff to protect the work already done on

the $16.8 million dollar project. ‘The site on Ewingsdale Road has sustained some erosion damage because of the consistent rain,’ Mr Holloway said. ‘With further heavy rain anticipated during the coming weeks, emergency measures are being implemented.’

Zali’s head’s in the clouds for HSC results Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Zali Fung literally had her head in the clouds after finding out her HSC and ATAR scores.

Mullumbimby High School graduate Zali Fung recently found out that when it comes to getting your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), it’s a jungle out there – literally. Zali, who had decided on a trip to Borneo rather than the Gold Coast for her ‘schoolies’ celebrations, was staying in a remote part of the country on the Klias River, about two and a half hours south of Kota Kinabalu, when she received a text from her father with her Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) results. Zali has always been a stellar student when it comes to physical education and was named the Byron Shire Sportsperson of the Year in 2008, so it was no surprise that she did well in the subject, but even she was stunned when she read the message telling her she had come second in the state. ‘I was so happy with my PDHPE result,’ says Zali. ‘But there was no internet where I was. I had to wait until the

restaurant byron bay

following evening to get my ATAR. ‘I got 98.9 and was so incredibly shocked. I wasn’t even expecting to get 90 so I was very, very pleased with my results.’ Zali also did well in English advanced, English extension one and two, biology, society and culture and music. Zali says that the morning after receiving her good news, she woke up early to climb Mt Kinabalu, which is the tallest mountain in southeast Asia. ‘Altogether it was 17km of stairs, two kilometres of which were done at 2 am in the rain and a temperature of three degrees.’ Next year Zali will study for a Bachelor of Science/International Relations at the University of New South Wales, and enjoy student life in Sydney. ‘Eventually I think I would like to study medicine. It would be amazing to work for Médecins Sans Frontières one day, or do research into Multiple Sclerosis or HIV/AIDS. ‘I am also excited about getting involved in athletics again and join in the University Games.’

‘Council understands the significant contribution tourism makes to the local economy – about $411 million on the most recent figures,’ she said. ‘At the same time, the sector needs to operate within the bounds of what the natural environment and the community can reasonably accommodate. The committee’s duties will include leading the implementation of the Byron Shire Tourism Management Plan; fostering links and engagement between Council, industry and community interests; working with local and state government departments and agencies, local tourism and business organisations, environmental stakeholder organisations, and the community; advising Council regarding the sustainable development and

management of tourism; and acting as an external reference point and forum for those involved in the tourism industry in the Byron Shire. Ms Workman said Council’s sustainable approach to tourism will benefit residents, as well as visitors. ‘The tourism sector in Byron Shire is driven by the very fact the community and visitors are not prepared to see the region grow at all costs,’ she said. ‘Taking a sustainable approach to tourism will ultimately ensure the sector continues to play a significant but appropriate role within the Byron community for years to come.’ Members of Byron Shire Council’s Tourism Advisory Committee for 2011/2012 are Katharine Myres – member

New tourism committee announced A new Tourism Advisory Committee has been announced by Byron Shire Council. As part of Council’s Tourism Management Plan, Council established the committee back in September 2009. The committee’s role is to assist in promoting sustainable tourism in the Byron Shire, with a focus on long-term planning says Council’s Sarah Workman. ‘It first met in February 2010, and independently reports to Council on matters relevant to tourism in the Shire. One of the committee’s roles will be to take the lead in implementing the Tourism Management Plan for the next ten years,’ she said. Ms Workman said the committee was part of a wider Council vision to promote sustainable tourism in the Shire.

Fire sparks safety policy then sparks council walk out Victoria Cosford

The recent devastating house fire in Byron Bay has once again stirred up the holidayletting debate – but solutions are still a long way off. In an extraordinary meeting of Byron Shire Council last Thursday, Mayor Jan Barham’s call for an urgent motion deal-

ing with fire safety risks in unlicensed backpacker dwellings resulted in a walk-out by Councillors Ross Tucker, Diane Woods and Tony Heeson. Cr Barham told The Echo that all she was seeking was that they undertake consultation with the owners of the premises, given the potential for accidents.

‘I thought it was mild, just to get some action happening,’ she said, ‘but Ross Tucker, Councillor Woods and Tony Heeson left the Chamber so we didn’t have a quorum, saying that it should be dealt with by a notice of motion. ‘But we had already dealt with it in December, when we adopted a position about

compliance policies.’ What Cr Barham wants is to regulate holiday letting but ‘we are constrained by the state government.’ In a letter to General Manager Graeme Faulkner last year, the Department of Planning’s Tom Gellibrand requested that proposed controls for holidayletting be suspended pending policy review and

consultation with the Local Government Shires Association (LGSA). ‘All I was wanting to move as a matter of urgency was that we undertake a fire compliance policy,’ Cr Barham said. Mr Faulkner said it was important councillors were provided with adequate information by council staff before any useful debate could take place.

Das writers boot camp for youngsters Victoria Cosford

A boot camp for writers might be the only boot camp worth considering these soggy summer holidays. Thanks to a collaboration between the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre and author/ film maker Tristan Bancks, a three-day program is being offered designed specifically for young people aged between ten and 13 years. The hands-on course will enable kids to create an idea on day one, hot-house it on day two and perform, exhibit or screen it on day three. Fast, focused and fun, its emphasis will be on learning the skills needed to create and publish a story. Local man Tristan Bancks tells stories for the page and screen, and during the boot camp will share the tools he uses and the wide range of media, from web to still images,

video and the outside world, available for story telling. At the end of the three days participants will have their stories published online. Writer Development Manager for the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre Siboney Duff told The Echo that Tristan has over the past few years run quite a few of these workshops for kids. ‘He’s really dynamic and enthusiastic and the kids feed off that,’ she said . For all those parents who might have run out of ideas for entertaining their kids, the Young Writers Boot Camp runs from January 17 to Wednesday January 19 in the Byron Community Centre, from 9 am to 1 pm each day. Given the popularity of Tristan and past workshops, bookings are essential by calling NRWC on 6685 5115 or emailing Siboney Duff on siboney@nrwc.org.au.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Dr Helen Jarvis, a social geographer from the University of Newcastle, UK, has just finished visiting intentional communities in Byron Shire. As part of an international tour, she met founding members of four local communities involved in the Byron Rural Landsharing Communities Association. The communities visited were Aracauria in Broken Head, Tibian Creek Sanctuary in Goonengerry, a community in Whian Whian, and Jindibah Community in Bangalow. Aracauria, Tibian Creek and Jindibah communities were each originally established in the early 1990s as multiple occupancies but have converted to Community Title. Suresh Osborne from Tibian Creek Sanctuary said, ‘We explained to Dr Jarvis that Community Title has now given individuals the opportunity to sell their lots with ease should the occasion arise, while also giving us all, including young families, the possibility of obtaining bank finance to build their houses or expand their businesses.’ Since 2008, Dr Jarvis has

visited a large number of intentional communities, from cohousing schemes to ecovillages. She has conducted ethnographic studies in both urban and rural community settings in the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and the USA. Currently, her journey takes her on a 12-week tour of Tasmania, Queensland, NSW and Victoria. A senior lecturer in Human Geography, Dr Jarvis describes her work as ‘sociology, with added concern for place and space’. She considers ‘how people might live and work in the future – given the poor social and environmental fit between shrinking household size and large footprint private individual homes. ‘There is a growing body of research on cohousing, in particular, as the fastest growing intentional community arrangement in the USA. Until now the focus has been on architectural planning and little attention has been paid to the social and cultural motives and implications of ‘post-material’ disaffection with workcentred, consumer-driven lifestyles.’ www.echo.net.au

hundreds of people approached me for a little help, be it how to patent right through to business advice. People have ﬂown in from all over Australia to get some much appreciated support and insight.”

In typical inventor style Ric connected the dots with the popular Antique Roadshow format on BBC. The show is set in a community centre or hall where everyday people bring in their antiques and have experts appraise them.

The show is valuable for the antique owners and the viewing public. Owners get some realistic feedback and background on their antiques, and viewers are both informed and entertained as there is a lot of fun in watching an owners surprise at discovering they possess something that is a lot While on a recent trip to the more valuable than they US, Ric was approached ﬁrst thought. about a television show The Inventor Roadshow concept for inventing and Mini Event to be held on it dawned on him that Sunday 16th January the only real way for a TV in Bangalow will follow show to be of value to much the same format. the inventors themselves Inventors, or just everyday is to expose them to tinkerers, will come into the real investment experts.

Following the NBN fibre optic cables Eve Jeffery asks local internet service providers what effect the proposed National Broadband Network will have Eve Jeffery

Linknet response

According to their website, NBN Coâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to realise the Australian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for the development of a next generation National Broadband Network (NBN). Among other information on the site, it says that the NBN will provide the infrastructure that will allow wholesale and retail service providers to deliver advanced digital services to the nation. This multi-billion dollar investment will be the single largest nation building infrastructure project in Australian history. Despite the idea of downloads of up to one Gigabit per second may sound very appealing, this yellow brick, or fibre optic, road might not lead everyone to the best destination. The NBN uses optic fibre technology to reach its target of coverage for 93 per cent of Australia and importantly provides its own wireless and satellite services where it does not lay fibre, therefore the NBN creates issues for all wireless and satellite service providers. Wireless providers may be over built by the NBN and that will leave their infrastructure assets stranded.

Mullumbimby based ISP Linknet might face the possibility of reducing staff once the roll-out has rolled into town. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our business will have to adapt to the biggest change in the Australian Telecommunications industry since the copper cable was introduced,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Linknet director Richard Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The NBN is a major project of government policy reform to the telecommunications sector and whilst there has been much focus on the benefits and opportunities that it will bring to Australia, the adjustment process has both positive and negative aspects. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;At this stage of the policy intervention I would like to see the government and the NBN recognise that there will be no doubt negative aspects felt by some of our community under this monumental reform project and engage in open and collaborative approach to addressing the equity issues that surround the creation of this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;natural monopolyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that is the NBN and do so in a fair, honest and timely manner.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Hughes says that the long term view is necessary due to the nature of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decade before all customers will be able to partici-

pate and a lot can happen in a decade in internet provision. If the network is sold down to 100 per cent private ownership then there is a risk to the positive outcome I see in the long term as the NBN creates a natural monopoly.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Wwwires response Dainen Keogh is CEO of World Without Wires, another ISP in the area. Dainen believes the NBN will bring with it a new age of communications, entertainment, education, health services and much more. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From a consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective they will have access to

telephone services that will become so cheap they are almost free,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There will be improved entertainment services, movies on demand, pay television providers, interactive movies and high definition Massively Multiplayer Online Games, MMOG.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Keogh says that education could be accessed in many forms such at live video link attendance of conferences, work groups and virtual classes. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible universities could be completely transformed, and cater to people anywhere in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;well connectedâ&#x20AC;? world,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the area of health, many of our older generation would be able to stay in their homes longer, through the use of video nurses and vital 24 hour monitoring of patients in their own homes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The downside of all this is that the service will use government infrastructure, employment opportunities in the area may decrease with lay-offs of current staff the result. Critics of the program have suggested that companies like Linknet and WWWires will no longer exist as the advent of nationwide â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DODOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; type reseller companies will pop up and small regional

telcos will all die. Some suggest that the introduction of a complete â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;big brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; capable network being government owned allows for more access to individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network data as it flows through the pipe. Linknetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richard Hughes says that from a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective the NBN should be a positive move in the long term, so long as NBN can deliver its stated objectives and remains a government asset. As the NBN rolls out, there will be continuing questioning of the project, including those directed toward the government business enterpriseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBNCo, whose CEO Mike Quigley was once the president and CEO Alcatel Lucent. Alcatel Lucent which is currently under investigation for bribery and corruption in some of its international dealings. Interestingly, NBN has chosen Alcatel Lucent to supply its fibre equipment. Eyebrows have risen that the ex-CEO of a company gets a new job and then hands a big contract back to his old employers.

When will Australia catch up with the rest of the world on hemp foods? Hans Lovejoy

It’s the question director of Hemp Foods Australia, Paul Benhaim, is asking, along with a joining chorus of farmers from around the country. Approving hemp as a food source would bring us inline with other industrialised countries such as the US and UK, he says. ‘The Federal Ministers, Health Ministers and Drug Ministers of Australia are about to review the second application to allow hemp foods in Australia,’ he told The Echo. ‘The hemp food industry is purported to be worth over $100 million in North America alone.’ Mr Benhaim argues that these countries recognise the health benefits of hemp and we are slow to catch up. Every state in the country except the Northern Territory have passed legislation for commercial cropping and research trials for years. Hemp is currently being grown in the Northern Rivers for the hemp building industry which includes building materials, bioplastics and textiles, according to Mr Benhaim. ‘Hemp foods are legal in every other country in the world!’ he says.‘In the USA hemp milk is consumed instead of GM Soya Milk. In the UK a lunch may contain hemp pasta with hemp pesto sauce. In mainland Europe a child’s school snack is likely to contain a hemp seed snack bar.’

Big business applying pressure? Mr Benhaim says in 2001 and 2002, The Australia New Zealand Food Authority (ANZFA) considered hemp as food. ‘They decided that hempseeds are rich in the essen-

tial fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6,’ he says, ‘which are required for vital functions within the body, including the immune response, lipid hydrolysis, blood clotting, vascular dilation and cardiac function and therefore healthy for the Australian people.’ ‘Despite the Government’s own independent food author-

did not want to see hemp legalised as it is a threat to their ‘toxic monopolies’. ‘There is a big dairy, fish and meat industry in Australia, and hemp seed protein and essential fatty acids are a great threat to their livelihood.

No drug ingredient ‘Today the question to legalise hemp foods has nothing to do with this drug form of cannabis, says Mr Benhaim. ‘Hemp foods have been shown to contain no drug ingredient in the decades of use in the UK, Europe and North America. ‘Instead hemp foods have been shown to improve energy levels, make skin soft, help weight loss, improve symptoms of ADD, assist with premenstrual mood changes, curb cravings for sugar and junk food fats and assist in brain development and adult brain function.’

Tax the consumption ity – which is now called Food Standards or FSANZ – and individual Ministers’ promise of a positive vote – John Howard directed the then Ministers to vote against hemp.’ The government website Mr Benhaim refers to – www. foodstandards.gov.au – indeed states ‘Hempseeds are an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids and an additional source of essential fatty acids.’ The page claims to be out of date however, and forwards the reader to a generic pdf ‘Prohibited and Restricted Plants and Fungi’. Mr Benhaim says the backflip was because big business

The only costs noted in cannabis problems are those spent in policing it in what has become the modern day prohibition problem. ‘The more you prohibit a substance, the more it will be used and misused.’

It is well known countries such as North America are decriminalising cannabis to allow medical use of the plant. ‘Doctors are needed to prescribe the herb for its known benefits (relief of headaches, cancer and other pain, MS and a lot more), says Mr Benhaim. ‘This way, the State Governments get to tax consumption and many millions of dollars go to supporting local needs in the community.

The Reserve Bank may be persuaded to discount the increase in the Consumer Price Index as a one-off event, but is it really? Floods like these are supposed to be one in a hundred years events, but in fact parts of Queensland have been hit by similar disasters three times in the last two years, and the weather bureau reckons 2011 is shaping up to be the mother of them all. Certainly some of the problem can be blamed on an unusually intense La Nina, which is unlikely to be repeated soon – or at least it would have been unlikely under the patterns of the last century. But it just could be that the times have moved on; that, like politics, the weather has entered a new paradigm. Which brings us inevitably to climate change.

and territories across the globe the World Meteorological Organisation calculated that the year to the end of October was the hottest since 1850, when they started keeping records. The northern winter may bring this down a little when the annual figures arrive in March but the experts are predicting that 2010 will still be in the top three. Ah yes, the northern winter: surely such freezing conditions prove that global warming is a myth? Well no, in fact they are more evidence that it is very real indeed. Global warming does not mean a slow, steady increase in temperature across the planet; it mean that as more energy is trapped in the earth’s system, the weather patterns grow more chaotic; extreme events become the norm. Thus we can look forward to an increase in the severity of droughts, floods, storms, cyclones, hurricanes and yes, even blizzards. One possible effect of global

warming might be to push the gulf stream, the northerly current that skirts the west coast of Europe, further out into the Atlantic; if that happens, freezing European winters will become standard. Prepare for an influx of Pommy boat people. And at the same time, at least 17 countries broke their maximum temperature records in 2010 and the ice caps and glaciers continued to retreat. And of course greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere continued to rise. Since 1990 the increase has been 27.5 per cent and there is no sign of any global strategy that will reverse the trend. In the last 30 years the mean global temperature has risen by just half a centigrade degree – and look at what has already happened: 2010 saw the second highest level of natural catastrophes in that 30 years and almost all of them had to do with the weather. Even if the politicians get their act together and agree to stabilise greenhouse emissions at 450 parts per million, which is the most optimistic of all suggested scenarios but still an extremely unlikely one, global temperatures will still rise by another two centigrade degrees – four times the increase to date. You ain’t seen nothing yet. This eventuality should give Gillard and Abbott something to contemplate as they ceaselessly circle each other in an effort to score a point for the evening news; but it probably won’t. They may, however, care to note that the problem so concerns Graeme Wood of Wotif.com that he gave $1.6 million, the largest political donation ever disclosed, to the only party he thought was serious about it – the Greens. If science and objective evidence will not convince our leaders to act, perhaps the hope of money will.

Time to connect our rail line to the Gold Coast David Miller (Letters, January 4) may think a regular 16 trains a day commuter train service (not heavy old fashioned trains) running on the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line is a wistful vision, but the majority of the North Coast community and our local politicans (who have committed to providing such a service) know it’s an inevitable necessity. You don’t hear Gold Coast people saying that rebuilding their heavy rail line to Coolangatta, as well as a light rail service down the coastal strip, is a ‘wistful vision’. They’re all very grateful for the billions of federal government funds allocated to upgrade their rail services. A medical doctor should understand the difficulties faced by local people who have serious illnesses, or traumatic injuries sustained in road accidents, getting to specialist medical and rehabilitation services in Lismore, Tweed or Brisbane. Long daily road journeys to these services over many months, or years, take their

toll on people and their families already coping with a crisis. Some have chosen to have major surgery rather than face this daily grind. Then there’s the problem of peak oil. Academics who have been studying peak oil believe the price of oil is currently artificially low due to the Australian dollar and global the effects of the GFC. They are very concerned that our head-in-the-sand government is putting us at risk by not planning for the inevitable rise of the price of oil to $140, or more, per barrel. To avoid the economic disaster this would create, they believe we should be upgrading and developing more rail services. If the predictions are correct, the tourism industry on the north coast in particular, which relies on the price of oil remaining low, will be severely affected. Calls for the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line to be transformed into a rail trail using the ‘money from the sale of scrap metal and wooden sleepers’ are very unrealistic.

The rail trail lobby need to get some credible costings to back up these statements. According to information from qualified engineers, the cost of ripping up lines and repairing the rail corridor to a state needed for a safe rail trail would be as much as repairing it for a rail service, which could be used by everyone, not just a few very fit cycling enthusiasts. There is also the possibility of a walking/cycling track along the rail corridor such as the one in Belaraine in Victoria. I am sick of hearing the unsubstantiated claims about the cost of a commuter rail service on the Casino to Murwillumbah line. Compared to the billions our state government has wasted on roads, tunnels and the CBD Metro, the $30m cost estimated in 2004 for this service, even if doubled, probably equals Kristina Kennealy’s lunch money. Yes, we do need to contact our local politicians before the state election to ensure they honour their promises to get a commuter rail service up and running on the north coast

A few members of a local community group (Brunswick Heads Progress Association) put in many hours of their holidays to publicise, organise and fundraise for this event, the only thanks being grateful parents, smiling kids and the feeling of a job well done. This year the event was blatantly used to advertise a protest against the wall in Israel. The protester, a grown man, broke all the rules of the competition, and stood proudly next to his sand creation, surrounded by confused children. I’d like to suggest that this protester gets out of his comfort zone, and raises the funds to bring children from both sides of the wall to take part in a sand castle competition. That would certainly make the news, maybe even the Sydney Morning Herald. The United Nations, the World Court, Amnesty International and anyone in their right mind opposes the wall, but unless Hillary Clinton reads The Echo this stunt was a waste of time.

dune but many do not and holiday letters cannot be expected to appreciate its fragility. Encroaching on Crown land is simply not justified and should never have been allowed in the first place. There is sufficient access to the beach without some wanting to create their own personal access to it. Such an attitude typifies the selfishness that has become so predominant in Australia. A ‘few souls’ maintaining their own access to the beach does indeed have an impact on the environment because it doesn’t just stop there. It then becomes the perceived right of every other person to have their own access as well. It’s time we spent less time thinking about our wants and more time doing what’s right for the dune because once it’s gone, there’s nothing between us and that ocean!

effects of coevolution – emotional and energetic development in response to our environments. The loving cooperation within families and tribes of animals and humans; the healing benefits we receive from simply, quietly being in nature heightens awareness of our inherent loving kindness. The magic of biophyllia is revealed as our innate positive response towards living things. After the painful disappointment of Copenhagen and our government wimping out on putting a price on CO2 pollution many of us have felt fear and despair about us creating a sick planet.

Re Splendour in the Grass: our submissions against the proposal for this festival were not included in the documented submissions recently posted on the Department of Planning (DOP) website.

We would like to know why these submissions were omitted. We know of other people who have also not had their submissions listed on the DOP website.

sense to rip up 132km of track for walking? Bicycles are a perfect complement to rail. As Miller points out, in many places the rail corridor is wider than the tracks so cyclists and pedestrians can be accommodated alongside. Bicycles are also part of an integrated transport system in that a traveller can cycle a few kms to their station, take their bike on the train, and then complete the final leg of their journey by bike. Feeder buses and private cars are also parts of a vital and vibrant public transport system. The Queensland government is paying millions to carve out a new corridor and re-lay the rail tracks that connected Brisbane with Coolangatta until about 1964. Let NSW learn from such past errors. The best way to protect the corridor from developers is to run trains. The TOOT campaign is about small light local trains, up to about 16 per day to move people around our region.

Population speculation in little box sparks response Q I am writing to you concerning the article ‘Food for thought’ in the January 4 Echo. It is false. There was no mention of any animals this country supports such as 27,000,000 cattle. Let’s say one cow is the equivalent of two or three persons consuming the natural resources, such as water, electricity, transport etc etc. Then multiply this with the sheep, pig, chooks, pets, camels, horses, donkeys etc. Then count in the populations of other countries we support with our food stuff, energy, steal, coal, bauxite etc. We probably already support a population of 100150,000,000 people. Also read Julian Cribb’s new book The Coming Famine and you will get a more accurate picture of the productive capabilities of this country and not

so glibly state ‘we have plenty of room’. That we have. But it is the productive capacity of the country which is the important issue here. Just look at the recent flooding all over the country to see how vulnerable we are as a population with the number of people this country already supports.

for thought’, principally as to the statistically obsessed, selfserving, socially dangerous person who compiled it. There are people who would, in the absence of a critical opinion, believe this rubbish and it is an example of why one must always be alert, weighing up what one knows against what is written or claimed. Just for starters: why are the population densities of Macau, Holland, India, China, Brazil et al relevant to Australians? If you believe that the world is already grossly overcrowded (and I believe that most Australians who have travelled overseas would hold that opinion), then holding these societies up as some kind of population benchmark beggars belief. If you were around in the 70s there was a little book (the

intellectual base of the hippie movement actually) called Small is Beautiful which argued, quite convincingly, among other things, that the industrialisation of the East, specifically China and India, to a level where its citizens would be elevated to a western standard of living, was not possible for a variety of reasons, one of which was the limitation of available fossil fuels. There is a current tome When A Billion Chinese Jump that comes to the same conclusion: the industrialisation of China is placing unprecedented pressure on their ecosystems and it is not clear at all as to what the eventual outcome will be. Add the additional impact in the region of the growing industrialisation of India and we are likely, soon, to be

given stark reminders of the fragility of life on earth. China, at least, is attempting, with some success, to contain its population but the last politician in India to have a go was Indira Gandhi in 1975 when her family planning practices allegedly included enforced vasectomy. Population wise, India is out of control. We can’t, nor should, help them. Capitalism here will have to take some course other than to continue to increase population in order to increase consumption. Such a decision by Australians will make no difference to the global result but we should at least not exacerbate it. There is so much in the little fact blurb referred to that is insincere and self serving that I cannot canvass it here but it has been written or compiled

pling of prices. What tiny percentage of one per cent of national income would be spent on bananas, for Christ’s sake? The theory behind base interest hikes is that they reduce the excess money out there which is fuelling inflation. Inflation caused by a shortage of supply is not meant to be part of the equation, but when the ‘quality press’ uses fear-mongering to fuel people’s anxiety (so that they buy more newspapers to keep up with the debate) then all they do is give the Reserve Bank more excuse to raise rates. I use the word ‘excuse’ because I’m convinced that the real motive for high interest rates is that the people who have all the excess cash want a greater profit for lending it out, ie. they want you to pay a higher rent for it, so that everyone on the second or third rung of economic advancement is forced to run just to remain in the same place, while those on the bottom rung just give up. I pay $300 per week more in interest than I was paying a year ago, meaning that despite sitting on a valuable asset I’m actually cash flow poor. Eating out in Byron Bay is certainly a rarity for me these days. Yet a staff report to Council about a year ago had the temerity to suggest that I had a comfy lifestyle from illegal rental income – clearly an attempt to turn the councillors against me. They also quoted from the Nimbin Times (yes, the Nimbin fucking Times) to suggest that I’m one of these hippies turned capitalist! This from people who get well over $2,000 a week.

If I drink at the pub in Mullum I pay $4.90, otherwise I drink home brew at home – $4.90 to $6.10 is a $1.20 ripoff as far as I’m concerned. I know it’s tourist season but not all of us are tourists, a lot of us live here. Why do the millionaires of Byron Shire rip people off? Because they can and something should be done about it. That’s why I home brew and I suggest if you feel you are being ripped off as a drinker, go the home brew way. It’s cheaper and better value for the dollar.

decision also means that from next July, hundreds of dedicated teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) will find they no longer have jobs, their work undercut by the lowest bidder – Navitas. Like SAE, Navitas is a profitdriven multinational company, and according to its website ‘has 34 locations in Australia and 59 overseas in China, India, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Zambia, Kenya, Singapore and Sri Lanka’. Meanwhile, teacher unions in Britain, Canada, and the US are resisting Navitas’s push to have education services privatised. The company’s net profits in the year to 30 June 2010 surged 31 per cent to $64.3 million. CEO Rod Jones made the BRW Rich 200 List this year, with $275 million to his name. It’s gut churning to see the likes of Rod Jones and his new bedfellow Tom Misner becoming filthy rich on the back of fees from students, or by winning contracts from governments at the expense of the public sector. It’s one thing to rake in millions from students by delivering sound engineering and filmmaking courses, which incidentally TAFE offers to students regardless of their socioeconomic background. But for the Gillard government to allow the profit motive into the provision of English to some of the most vulnerable people in the community is nothing short of scandalous. For Navitas, migrant English classes, and refugee settlement services (which Navitas is also in the process of bidding for) are just a further diversification in its rapidly growing portfolio.

As someone who grew up in Murwillumbah, but now teaches English to refugees and migrants in Sydney, your report ‘SAE sells for $289 million’ grabbed my attention. Navitas, the School of Audio Engineering’s buyer, was also recently awarded the Federal Department of Immigration’s tender to deliver the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) to newly arrived non-English speaking migrants and refugees for all the NSW regions it applied for. The Gillard government has handed a for-profit corporation the job of teaching English to refugees and non-English migrants – at the expense of TAFE and the Adult Migrant English Service, which have successfully delivered AMEP to hundreds of thousands of newcomers to Australia since the post-WWII wave of migration began. TAFE and AMES have been left with the crumbs that Navitas didn’t want, the three NSW Mark Goudkamp regions where less migrants Newtown, Sydney and refugees settle: Northern Sydney/Other Rural, Newcastle Toilet vandalism and Wollongong.

Dealing with unruly holiday letting When my friends who have retreated to the hills or to the north of the shire ask me how I can continue to live in Byron Bay, I respond that the beauty of the beaches and the scenery across the water to the mountains can never be destroyed by rampant tourism, gridlocked traffic or nasty shopping chains. I also reflect on the fantastic, friendly service in places like Mitre 10, the Byron Service Station, Shaz and Baz’s and many other places. In fact, there are a lot of reasons why I love living in Byron Bay. Of great concern however is the growing practice of ‘irresponsible’ holiday letting in residential areas. If neighbours were to rent to families or quiet, respectful holiday makers, myself and others in the area would have no problem with

them renting out their houses. Unfortunately, instead they have continued to rent to ‘schoolies’ and other large groups of party revellers, despite being aware of the deleterious effects this has had on the neighbourhood. And no, I do not sit back and collect social security payments. I wake to an alarm, drive sometimes long distances and work extremely hard. This year, a particular group of ‘schoolies’ were supplied with my name and address by the owner of the house they were renting (ten boys sharing a small four bedroom house – talk about exploitation!). If they weren’t obnoxious already, they certainly became so after being fired up by the owner. I was subjected to aggressive and intimidating behaviour.

This included having their garbage thrown into my yard and eggs being thrown at my house at two in the morning. Another neighbour had her solar lights smashed and stolen. Some of the ‘schoolies’ are respectful and reasonable, but most of them have come to Byron specifically to party and they need to be told if they are going to be in a quiet residential area and given guidelines as to what is acceptable, before paying the huge amounts landlords ask of them. Thankfully some like-minded people and I banded together over a year ago (‘Enough Is Enough’). Apart from acting as a support group, we have carried out the following: sent letters to the state government; sent documentation of noise and disturbance to the council; arranged a meeting with

the council; phoned the police constantly and had numerous meetings with them (usually on the footpath in the early hours of the morning – and they have been so supportive); met with John Gudgeon to encourage him to have the HLO deal with rogue landlords; organised a meeting with Don Page; encouraged other people to take action; and written letters to the papers explaining how people can do so. During the most recent bout of ‘schoolies’ we managed to have the council issue a ‘noise abatement order’ to the owners of a house. The house is now on the market. Good luck to everyone trying to deal with this problem. Keep up the pressure and keep Byron beautiful!

perience what it’s like to travel on a good road. They won’t need to spend an hour of their precious time trying to go from Mullum to Byron in order to shop at the other Woolworths or even at the IGA. Let’s face it – we shouldn’t make them suffer the stress of being in holiday traffic when you just want to get on with actually working. By having Woolies so close to the Council Chambers they can probably also be assured of a park. By never having to venture down Jonson or Lawson Streets they don’t have to acknowledge the crass ‘Gold Coast’ style shops with signage to match. Plus they don’t have to observe the dirty look of Byron. Funny how they can put their signs up but the locals paying rent in areas such as the Industrial Estate haven’t got a show. How are local businesses supposed to prosper when the public can’t even find them ! Speaking of the Industrial Estate, who could find anything there at night? It’s downright dangerous but we wouldn’t want to put up lights now, would we? Bet you Woolies in Mullum with be visible in the evening! Also get behind with your rates because business is depressed and see how you get treated: they just go right ahead Terry Newling and sue. Let’s send them a final Mullumbimby demand!

When considering the usefulness of a tier of government we should first ask how effectively it represents the needs and wishes of its community.

es for those who vandalise, after all we all pay for these selfish, dysfunctional acts. I see the results of vandalism and rubbishing of our community every morning. Geoff, if it’s a response of not liking society, I suggest these types go elsewhere (like the Simpson Desert) as the majority of us like living right here and respect that privilege accordingly. Unfortunately for us, we then pay the cost of repairing damage, Geoff, (like the tree plantings pulled out in Byron Bay). Vandals, like anyone else, are responsible for their own actions, we don’t need to offer them excuses. Most of us with a brain can plan their outings without defecating on the ground. Is the problem, Geoff, that these weirdos are wandering around when every normal person is asleep? Unfortunately for those who have trouble complying with normal society rules, the toilets have to be locked. It’s a sign of the times that not everyone wants to behave themselves and to be a part of a wholesome community. Bush regeneration is a great achievement, Geoff, but it’s a long bowstring to pull tying that activity into the immature idiots’ behaviour in our community. How many of us go to public toilets and see the results of stupid behaviour. I support locking toilets overnight.

Children unaware of impacts of cyber bullying: survey Almost two in three parents surveyed believe children don’t fully understand the implications of cyber bullying behaviour, according to Telstra Cyber-Safety research. The Telstra research shows 62 per cent of parents surveyed with children aged between 10 and 17 years believe children fail to connect cyber bullying with its repercussions. This is despite the vast majority (95 per cent) of those parents stating they have discussed internet safety issues

with their children. Jackie Van Vugt, General Manager Cybersafety at The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, said the results show parents need to talk to their children about how their online conduct might affect others and set clear expectations about what is appropriate. ‘Cyber bullying can be quite traumatic for young people. Kids who are cyber bullied can feel angry, depressed, embarrassed and sometimes scared for their safety.

‘They can often feel more alone than if the bullying was occurring in person and where there’s a chance someone may hear or see something and intervene. ‘Children often become involved in cyber bullying by passing on or commenting on damaging material, rather than creating it. And it can be hard for kids to understand that they are actually hurting someone online because they can’t see the other person’s face or sense the emotional

impact,’ said Ms Van Vugt. ‘A good way to help your child understand whether their online behaviour is acceptable is to ask them if they’d be willing to stand up at school assembly and share what they’ve done. If their answer is “no”, then they shouldn’t be willing to do it online either.’ Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager NSW North Coast, Michael Sharpe, said it was important for parents to involve themselves in their children’s online lives, just as

they would in their non-internet lives. Telstra offers the following tips for preventing cyber bullying: Set clear expectations about online activity. Provide guidelines around the use of internet and mobile phones, such as what information they should or shouldn’t access, share or pass on. Give tangible examples about how to behave with technology. Talk about what the consequences might be if you find kids breach these expectations.

LETTERS from page 13

The Greens believe in maximising community participation and acknowledging the contribution of diverse and marginalised social groups. We also believe that people must be openly provided with sufficient information to make their own decisions and actively participate in an honourable political process. My own view is therefore that the number of tiers of government is less important than their ability to function democratically. Where possible and appropriate, that means empowering the level of government closest to the people affected. This will often (though not always) mean making decisions at a local level, hence the need for strengthening local government. There should be no suggestion that local government is always blameless and the state always evil. Both levels have their faults and weaknesses. However it is state governments that decide on the structures, municipal boundaries and powers of local governments, and in most states they clearly set it up to fail. Formal recognition of the powers and responsibilities of local government is thus a vital priority for national constitutional reform. The NSW Planning Minister’s recent obscene power grab to determine local land and property developments only serves to ensure we all know the Emperor wears no clothes. I can therefore appreciate the sentiment behind the move for abolition of the states. Three tiers of government for 20 million people is certainly an extravagance. There is a danger, however, that the abolition of states, without a strengthening of local or regional political structures, could simply lead to greater centralisation of power and more abuse of it. By enacting a Bill of Rights, fighting for community involvement and empowering local and regional communities decide the issues that affect them, we may be more safely on our way to true representative democracy.

Camphorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressing problem cut down byâ&#x20AC;Ś policy? Fast Buck$

What is the most pressing environmental problem in Byron Shire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; apart from people, I mean? I suggest it would have to be camphor laurel infestation. What have the local greens achieved in relation to this core Greens responsibility after nearly seven years of prominence? Well they have, um, ... developed a policy. Er, not quite actually; they are in the process of developing a policy. How jolly is that. Soon Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to invite councillors out to my place and sit them down on my front verandah and point them towards Federal and Goonengerry. I will explain to them that 30 years ago when I bought the property the vista before them consisted wholly of pasture, with only a few camphors along the fence lines and in the gullies. Right now what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see is hundreds of hectares of dense camphor laurel, relieved here and there with clear paddocks that serve only to dramatise the disgraceful transformation. All this happened of course because southerners like me came north to gobble up acreage for a song, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to run cattle, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use

poisons and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forsee the result in this hot and wet climate. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only able to speak out because I made sure that I had a tractor and slasher, meaning that I have been able to keep the flattest 50 per cent of my property clear of weed trees. Were I like my immediate neighbours I would be too ashamed to speak out. I would probably be trying instead to find reasons why camphor isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really all that bad and be using terms like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;biomassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carbon sequestrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;food source for native birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Disasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all bullshit, camphor laurels are an unmitigated disaster, and we present generation of custodians have by neglect done more environmental damage than the several generations of dairy and beef farmers who came after the original loggers. Not only that but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve vandalised good agricultural land, meaning that there is no trade-off at all. When the councillors on my verandah have digested their vista and its implications I will next take them on a little walk. Where the camphor has reached a certain level of density they will see that only Crofton weed

which kills horses can survive. Beyond this, where virtually no light gets through, there is no ground vegetation whatsoever, none. The ground is bare except for the dead leaves which cover parts of it. In other words it is a desert, one which is very prone to erosion, and which continues to spread upward and outward suffocating everything in its path. Getting rid of camphors is very labour intensive, expensive or toxic, depending on the method used. Most current owners are too old to do much grunt and are too cashflow poor to go for the more expensive options. In other words to say that the landowners themselves should wear the responsibility is to guarantee that the infestation continues to grow unchecked. Ross Tucker, ever the helpful one, has suggested that Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own camphors on the road reserves make Council itself the biggest offender. What if Council is indeed the biggest offender, how does that help solve the problem? Probably Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giant trees in Mullumbimby provided the original seed stock, which then spread along Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural roadside fences, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain that private forests now rule the roost. The Draft Policy says that

more than 25 per cent of vegetated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the shire was dominated by camphor laurel in 1999. I doubt if those few who have rid their properties of the scourge since that time would have kept up with the estimated 10 per cent growth per annum, in volume if not in area. Every year of delay has made it more expensive to remove them and has increased the number of seeds available for dispersal, even if the area covered has not grown.

toriously difficult to dislodge, which is probably why they never fall over. To prevent resprouting, the stumps would have to be either poisoned or killed by heat, ie a substantial bonfire on top of each one. No mention of this problem, or indeed of chemicals, anywhere in the policy. Ignore it and it will go away?

In other words the Draft Policy tries to be all things to all people while offending no-one, and avoiding the tricky bits. This is what the local greens are best at: creating parallel universes on paper. These paper realities make them feel that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve achieved something while having no effect on the ground whatsoever.

Fantasy The Draft Policy contains statements that I find nauseating, such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;camphor laurel is recognised as providing a significant biodiversity benefit (!?)... vegetative cover for large areas of disturbed landscape (!!?) and provision of dispersal and germination for rainforest plant speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (!!??). What utter bullshit. The document then goes on to fantasise about harvesting the trees for electricity generation.

Acknowledgement Damning corporate capitalism with faint praise Victoria Cosford

Kevin Carson

Economist Tyler Cowen, in a piece at The American Interest, argued that – despite growing differences in nominal income – inequality in ‘personal wellbeing’ has declined drastically over the past century (‘The Inequality That Matters’, Jan-Feb 2011). ‘Bill Gates is much, much richer than I am, yet it is not obvious that he is much happier if, indeed, he is happier at all. I have access to penicillin, air travel, good cheap food, the internet and virtually all of the technical innovations that Gates does. Like the vast majority of Americans, I have access to some important new pharmaceuticals, such as statins to protect against heart disease ... ‘Compare these circumstances to those of 1911, a century ago. Even in the wealthier countries, the average person had little formal education, worked six days a week or more, often at hard physical labour, never took vacations, and could not access most of the world’s culture. The living standards of Carnegie and Rockefeller towered above those of typical Americans, not just in terms of money but also in terms of comfort.’ I suppose I would say Cowen’s is a valid argument, in a very backhanded kind of way – or perhaps that it simply proves too much. We’ve seen a stagnation in nominal, dollar-denominated, inflation-adjusted purchasing power, and the shift of virtually every penny increased GDP from productivity increases upward to the plutocracy and corporate management, as the result of all kinds of subsidies, protections, and monopolies. What Cowen is really pointing out, when you get right down to it, is that all these monopolies were still unable to prevent the average worker’s standard of living improving

because – despite all the larceny in the plutocrats’ and bosses’ piggy little hearts – the technologies of abundance have developed so fast that they’ve increasingly broken the link between nominal purchasing power and resource distribution on the one hand, and quality of life on the other. In other words, it’s becoming more and more feasible to live comfortably on what you’ve got left after you’ve been robbed by the plutocracy, despite their best efforts. I’m surprised the Wall Street Journal hasn’t run a ‘Lucky Duckies’ editorial on this.

Tooth and nail Nevertheless, the fact remains that this trend undermines the basic logic the system was set up to serve, and the robber barons at the commanding heights of state capitalism are fighting tooth and nail to prevent it. Just what do you think the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was about, for example? Or the assorted recurring examples of ‘safety’ legislation to impose overhead costs on small garage manufacturers and truck farmers and make them less competitive against mass-production industry and factory farming? These people have been doing their dead level best to maximise the amount of rent they’re able to extract from each unit of comfort, to maximise the number of hours we work to produce profit from them in addition to supporting ourselves, by imposing all sorts of inefficiency burdens on production with efficient new technologies. It’s the moral equivalent of those laws the funeral industry used to have in a lot of states mandating the purchase of a casket even by people who wanted to cremate a body. These people want to ‘enclose’ the technologies of abundance and extract rents from

them, in order to force us to work to support them in addition to ourselves. The fact that the productivity of abundance technologies is growing faster than their ability to raise the rents on artificial scarcity is – despite Cowen’s rosy picture of the world – a bug for them rather than a feature. The propertied classes, the robber barons, have since the beginning tried to extract tribute by closing off and regulating access to the means of subsistence and production – much like a medieval lord forcing the peasant to work two days on the lord’s demesne in return for the right to support his family on his own plot the rest of the week. And throughout history, the ruling classes have responded to increased productivity of the peasantry’s labour by increasing the size of their own demesnes so they could appropriate the surplus for themselves. What’s been happening technologically over the past decades is that the peasant’s labour is growing in productivity faster than the lords can enclose land to compensate for it. It’s more feasible than ever before, in the words of the Wobbly song, to ‘throw the bosses off our backs’. And they hate it.

I would as usual have been so utterly absorbed by my own inner life that it was only after the stranger had passed me that I became aware of her smile. Her smile still floated, its tailend in the air which increasingly separated us, my heading uphill and hers down. Her unreceived, unacknowledged smile remained with me for the rest of my walk in all its shimmering poignancy; I had even considered running back and apologising, but charged on instead, carrying this obscure pocket of sadness with me. It has happened since, a face in a crowd I have recognised too late for reaction, response, reciprocated expression of greeting – and it has always been that faltering of an unmet smile that has bothered me for hours afterward. Lack of acknowledgement, accidental or deliberate, seems to me one of the most unkind acts that humans can inflict upon one another. Perhaps it was a mother most mindful

that her daughters answered every gift with a polite note that was responsible for instilling in me a sense of its preciousness. Relatives I night never even meet who dutifully parcelled off an annual Christmas present (often unsuitable or unusable) would be rewarded with a carefully composed card of thanks. And so as I grew older I would send thank-you notes to dinner party hosts, even though as I grew busier the notes began to take the form of a telephone call the following day. These days it might even be the laziness of a text message – but I do try as much as possible to acknowledge what has so kindly been bestowed upon or given to me. Yet it strikes me that acknowledgement has become out of fashion, an increasing irrelevance, a time-consuming nicety. Isn’t it obvious we are thankful, that we had a wonderful time, that we were touched by the gesture? The internet via its immediacy and speedy connections con-

tributes to, if not exacerbates, a rendering redundant many reasons for acknowledgement; ‘thank you for your email’ can, after all, only be repeated so many times before it breaks down into meaninglessness. And yet there have been times when I have felt hurt that there has not been a reply to an email I have sent which has not even required one: it has felt like the cyberspace equivalent of an unreciprocated smile. Acknowledging someone you have met before does not commit you to forging a deep connection but it shows you have paid attention, and it shows that you are both kind and polite. Acknowledging other people affirms them and quite possibly may even make a difference to their mood or their day or their life: this is how powerful acknowledgement can be. Practise the habit so that after a while it just turns you back into the sort of good person you always were – and there will be no danger of dissolving, homeless smiles.

Promoting ‘dysfunction’ in order to sell drugs In his latest book, Echo reporter Ray Moynihan uncovers how drug companies are helping construct the next big condition for women. and centre in the mainstream of advertising and culture. Confident female media stars provide powerful new models for teenage girls, yet the unhealthy sexualisation of girl children has become a major scandal. Young women might be winning more often in the classroom, but in the bedroom many are expected to remove their pubic hair as a prerequisite for successful sexual activity. And with the popular Brazilian waxing exposing all, cosmetic surgeons are promoting a nip and tuck to tidy up the labia, while online companies offer a genital colorant that ‘restores the pink back to a woman’s genitals’. When they land, the seeds of the corporate-backed campaign to transform common sexual difficulties into medical conditions will fall on the fertile ground of considerable female insecurity. Yet backwardlooking moral panic about a permissive society may not be a helpful response.

uring the last year or so, has there been a period of several months of more when you lacked interest in having sex? When you felt anxious about your sexual performance or were unable to achieve an orgasm? Was there an extended time when you had trouble getting aroused, experienced pain on intercourse or just didn’t find sex pleasurable? If you answered ‘yes’ to just one of these survey questions, and you’re a woman, you could easily be classified as suffering from a brand new medical condition called ‘female sexual dysfunction’, or FSD. First described in the textbooks only a few decades back, FSD is set to become the next blockbuster medical condition, coming soon to a doctor’s surgery near you. As the ups and downs of daily life are re-categorised as the symptoms of medical diseases, soon all of us will be sick.

What once was normal… is now dysfunctional One of the women who actually helped write the definitions of female sexual dysfunction puts it very clearly. ‘[W]hat once was considered normal,’ wrote American psychologist Sandra Leiblum, ‘has come to be considered dysfunctional.’ Nowadays, if a woman lacks the desire for sex, and is bothered by it, she could be diagnosed with a disorder of low libido. The giant pharmaceutical industry – with worldwide sales now approaching a trillion dollars a year – is hungrier than ever for new markets. In order to maximise sales, the industry must ‘create the need’ for its newest and most expensive products. Sometimes that means selling sickness to the wealthy healthy, helping transform common ailments into widespread conditions that require treatment with the latest pills. Applauded for producing medicines that extend life and ameliorate suffering, drug companies no longer simply sell drugs; they increasingly sell the diseases that go with them. Female sexual dysfunction is perhaps the perfect example of selling sickness, and the commercial firepower behind its forthcoming promotion is simply awe-inspiring. ‘With more than 50 million potential sufferers in the United States, FSD could offer a larger market than male sexual dysfunction,’ wrote a pair of enthusiastic market observers. ‘FSD could be the next boon for pharma companies…’ So what exactly is this condition called FSD? The answer www.echo.net.au

The dramatic story documented in Sex, Lies and Pharmaceuticals calls for a much a greater scepticism towards simplistic claims that women’s sexual difficulties are somehow due to chemical deficits rather than a complicated set of causes, including the way we relate to each other, our cultures, and our individual and collective histories. With much attention to detail, this book seeks to enable you to make your own decisions about whether to accept the labels your doctor might soon offer you, or reject them if they’re not needed by viewing them as the latest products brought to you by one of the most sophisticated and profitable marketing machines on the planet. Q Edited extract from Sex, Lies & Pharmaceuticals (Allen & Unwin), just published in Australia, the United States and Canada. Ray’s 2005 book Selling Sickness has been translated into 12 languages.

depends a little on the solutions being sold at the time you ask the question. If a company is promoting a drug that enhances blood flow to the genitals, then the condition might best be described as an ‘insufficiency’ of vaginal engorgement. If another firm is pushing its testosterone patch as a cure for women, the sexual disorder is discussed as a ‘deficiency’ of hormones. And if yet another corporation has a pill that affects the mind’s neurotransmitters, women with low libido may have a ‘chemical imbalance’ in their brains. In a strange way, the disease seems designed to fit the drug. That’s not to say that medicines don’t have a role to play in treating some sexual problems. There are women for whom a medical label and a medication may be extremely valuable. The problem is that when the drug company-sponsored tsunami of marketing reaches its full fury in your corner of the planet, women’s common sexual difficulties will likely be portrayed not as aspects of normal sexuality, but as the symptoms of medical conditions that are widespread and treatable with pills. The fact that sexual difficulties are often caused by a raft of complex factors, from relationship stresses to religious

taboos, may well be washed away in the coming flood of pharma-funded magazine features, celebrity interviews on breakfast TV and plain-talking advice from sexy bloggers. The first unmistakeable signs of this marketing are already appearing. ‘What is female sexual dysfunction?’ asks one online personality known as Katie, on her educational website. ‘This health problem is a genuine problem that needs medical attention. Most women suffer from this problem without actually realising it.’

Not tonight dear, the dog ate my testosterone patch Yet even before the king tide of corporate marketing has really begun to flow, a backlash has been brewing. Working out of her small home office in Manhattan, not too far from the headquarters of the world’s biggest drug giant, a smart feminist scholar has launched a pre-emptive strike. Together with a small group of colleagues, sex therapist and New York University associate professor Dr Leonore Tiefer has started a grassroots campaign. As we’ll learn, during the extended combat there have been many colourful skirmishes.

Like the time Leonore Tiefer won a major award from her peers in the sex research community and delivered a speech titled ‘Not Tonight, Dear, the Dog Ate My Testosterone Patch.’ Pushed for a public response to the criticisms, the powerful pharmaceutical industry has been uncharacteristically shy, rejecting the idea that it creates diseases and arguing simply that it is sponsoring a legitimate field of medical science. For their part, the doctors and psychologists who work closely with the industry believe they’re raising awareness of the under-recognised suffering of women with a genuine sexual dysfunction. The broader context for this extraordinary fight over female sexuality has been the paradox, in Western countries at least, of an increasing sexual openness accompanied by what appears to be a growing sexual anxiety. The promise of sexual emancipation in the heyday of the 1960s has been followed in subsequent decades by a rising tide of sexual uncertainty. Sex and the City’s Samantha may well climax more often than many of the female characters who came before her, but she lives in a world where pornography has moved from being a subterranean undercurrent to front

Online survey examines Oz’s online gambling habits An online survey aimed at gaining a comprehensive understanding of the online gambling behaviour of Australians has been launched as part of a research project being conducted by Southern Cross University post-doctoral research fellow Dr Sally Gainsbury, pictured. Dr Gainsbury, based at Southern Cross University’s Centre for Gambling Education and Research, is collaborating with an international team of researchers including

Professor Nerilee Hing from Southern Cross University, Professor Alex Blaszczynski from the University of Sydney and Associate Professor Robert Wood from the University of Lethbridge, Canada. ‘My hope with the research project is that it will assist key stakeholders, including governments, regulators, and gambling operators to develop appropriate policies to regulate internet gambling because this is one of the fastest growing forms of gambling in Austral-

‘My aim is that the results will give a clearer indication of the behaviour of gamblers and the participation rates in all forms of gambling– with a particular emphasis on interactive gambling. The results will also provide a clearer indication of the extent of gambling-related problems and how they are related to particular gambling involvement. ‘The results will also be able ia and there is relatively little known about its social and to make a strong contribution economic impact,’ Dr Gains- towards national discussions around gambling as two membury said.

bers of the current research team on this project, Professors Alex Blaszczynski and Nerilee Hing, were appointed to the Ministerial Expert Advisory Group on Gambling late last year. ‘The establishment of that group shows that there is increasing recognition from politicians, regulators, gambling operators and the community that we need to develop more knowledge about gambling and its prominence in society. ‘For example we are seeing

opportunities for the community to participate in gambling, including online gambling, being regularly advertised during sporting events and via team sponsorship and perhaps that needs to be considered more closely. ‘This is an important issue and so I am really encouraging all Australians who have gambled in the past year to participate, particularly those who gamble online, using mobile phones, or through interactive television. The survey went online in December and will remain active until May 2011. I will then collate the results and plan to make them available in August 2011. ‘The survey takes approximately ten to 15 minutes to complete and asks about gambling behaviour, knowledge and attitudes. It is an interactive survey and provides participants with feedback on how their responses compare with responses of other participants who are the same age and gender. ‘This is included to make the survey more interesting and engaging for participants. Also, all responses are completely anonymous.

<echowebsection=Articles>

‘We are promoting the survey predominantly through online advertising and links placed on relevant websites including: several online gambling sites (eg UniTAB); problem gambling treatment sites (eg Gambling Help NSW and the University of Sydney Problem Gambling Treatment Clinic); and sports sites (eg Netball Australia). Advertisements have also been placed on social networking sites such as Facebook.’ Dr Gainsbury was awarded a $25,000 allied health startup grant from the Menzies Foundation to conduct the research in August 2010. She currently holds a Post Doctoral Research Fellowship from the Centre for Gambling Education and Research at Southern Cross University and is a Research Affiliate in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney. She recently completed a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology and a PhD at the University of Sydney. She is also the Associate Editor for International Gambling Studies, an academic peer-review journal that publishes a multi-disciplinary gambling paper. The survey is available at w w w.psych.usyd.edu.au/ CFIDE/gambling/questions/ en/index.cfm?CFID=10404&C FTOKEN=90112636.

HEALTH& beauty Keeping p g holidays y happy and healthy without the hassle While bringing a welcome break to enjoy the summer, the holiday period can also demand a lot of a family – especially those with children to keep entertained. So how do you keep your kids happy and active without needing a second mortgage or giving into junk food bribery? The Mums at the Heart Foundation have come together to share their favourite top 10 tips for a happy, healthy, hassle free holiday for everyone:

Star walks: Switch off

the box and take the family and a few torches out for walks after dinner. Walk on the beach, around your neighbourhood or go to the local park to spot nocturnal wildlife.

Hop to it: Teach your

kids the games you used to play at school – think hopscotch, hand tennis, elastics and French cricket – and join in too.

Toy with me: Keep

some inexpensive toys put aside for the inevitable “I’m bored, Mum!” like hula hoops, frisbees, kites, volleyball, velcro balls and catching mit.

Treat ’em right: Treat

children with trips to the park, beach, skate bowl or local pool rather than food treats.

Piece of pizza: Ask

older children to help prepare the ingredients for pizza and have the children assemble their own dinner. Challenge children to see how many different colours they can get on their pizza and keep it even healthier with reduced fat cheese.

cool drinks and take the kids on an adventure bushwalk. Keep them going for most of the day and they’ll be in bed early.

Putting on an act:

Keep younger children busy and active by challenging them to act out their favourite story. Encourage them to spend the afternoon dressing up and rehearsing and put on the performance after Take turns: Give a friend dinner. with kids the afternoon off Start a veggie patch: and invite her children over Encourage the children to for a play date with yours dig over a patch of earth or – she’ll be happy to take buy planters to turn into her turn too. your own veggie patch.

Wear them out: Team

up with another family with kids, pack a picnic, hat, sunscreen and plenty of

Allow the children to choose the seedlings they want to plant and encourage them to water, weed, harvest, prepare and cook the produce.

Feeling fruity: chop up

a platter of fruit and keep it in the fridge and let kids help themselves for quick, cool snacks or just keep the fruit bowl well stocked. Frozen seedless white grapes or oranges are thirst quenching and delicious – just allow them to soften for a few minutes before trying to eat them.

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

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

retreats including 2011 retr reats to Samoa and Bhutan.

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

DOUBLE PASSES TO THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! We have two double passes to see The Beautiful Girls at The Northern for the Wed 12th and Thurs 13th shows. To win a pass simply email gigs@ echo.net.au with subject header â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re All Beautiful Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

LOCAL OUTFIT THE ROUND MOUNTAIN GIRLS LAUNCH THEIR LATEST MUSICAL OFFERING ONE STEP CLOSER AT THE IVORY TAVERN. SEVEN CAUGHT UP WITH MR BANJO... Tell me the story of how the Round Mountain Girls came to be and how they came to be called Round Mountain Girls? Originally our wives and partners were the band members. Due to our prowess in the sack they all became pregnant and one by one had to quit the band, leaving a void, which due to our appalling homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;making skills, we wereÂ forced to fill. Actually, that story probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 100 per cent accurate. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to check the legend on the website for the real story. Do people ever turn up and get upset that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not actually girls? Oh yes! One of our very earliest gigs was in Kingscliff where we played to a crowd composed mainly of dirty old men and lesbians. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come expecting young girls wearing short skirts and cowboy boots and instead were confronted by six blokes of widening girth, dodgy facial hair, bad breath and one with a banjo. Fortunately we were able to win them over after a couple of songs with our musical skills and witty repartee, and avoided gettingÂ beaten up in the car park afterwards. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your song writing process with RMG? Do you take the bones of a song Â and jam, does it come from improv, or do you each get a shot at it? The bulk of the material is penned byÂ Chris Brooker and me in terms of chord progressions and lyrics. We rehearse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no amps or mics. We just sit in a circle and play acoustically. Rabbit will throw one of his beautiful fiddle lines on top, while Rex (drums) and Willy B (bass) will add an addictive, melodic pulse and off we go.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to have Brad Hails who is like a musical Swiss army knife. He can suck, blow, pick, twang, slap or squeeze anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put in front of him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is entertainment in itself. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real group effort, and although it can take a long time to complete a song because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many ideas knocking around, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost always worth the wait. How can you tell when a track is working and when it needs to hit the bin? Grinning is a real giveaway. You can look around the practice room and see the smiles start to curl in the corners of the mouths of your musical peers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a winner. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had that with a lot of songs on this album. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a few

hit the bin as well. Death threats, hushed huddles in dark corners, tantrums, tears...that sort of thing usually tells you you should have left that one on the porta–studio at home.

Are you still as passionate now about drumming as you were 20 years ago? Do you keep learning? No...I’m the banjo player... which is sort of like a fancy drum, only with two G–strings. Drums are for losers and people who were bullied at school! There’s no one in the band that isn’t still keen to get as good as they can possibly be either on their instrument and also collectively as a group. That’s probably where our strength is – the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Mandy Nolan

WHY DON’T YOU JUST SCOOT? There are some things that you just don’t need to know. When I got a dog I thought I’d be responsible for walking it, and feeding it, and washing it and fleaing it. I had no idea that part of my pet owner duty would be to release his bloody anal gland. I’d noticed my dog Elvis had become a little depressed. The King has been feeling a bit low. He’s even stopped digging out under the fence. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I keep forgetting to feed him, or the time I left him tied to the bus stop and didn’t come back for a few hours. But the poor little fella seemed to have issues. He’s a small dog. A shitsu/Maltese. As ugly as a Gremlin that got whacked with a shovel. A little bit Gizmo, a little bit Ewok. But I love him. I just don’t take him out much in case people go ‘Wow, don’t you look like your dog.’ I’m not a small dog fan. I like dogs that act like dogs. Dogs that wear tutus and sit in handbags or get to prance in tartan jackets on their designer beddies have never done much for me. My mother has one. She even has a strip of its fur dyed the same colour as the highlight she has in her hair. It eats at the table. It sleeps in her room. God, I think it sleeps in her bed. But I’ve always treated Elvis like a man. Oh, except for the time I had his balls cut off, but I think he’s gotten over that now. He had been walking weirdly for a couple of weeks. And scooting his butt on the carpet. It’s disgusting. The baby eats biscuits off the floor, right where Elvis had been running his furry little arsehole up and down the rug. It’s quite an impressive manoeuvre. It should be a yoga move. Legs up. Genitalia flat and engaged with carpet, arms at the front and now clench your core and scoot. Carpet burn could be the next Brazilian wax. Anyway, the scooting was getting out

of control. Elvis was scooting more than he was walking. So it was off to the vet. After a quick examination the lovely girl at the front desk explained he may need his anal gland released. Oh my god. Don’t anal glands just release themselves? She explains that the glands sometimes get clogged and need to be manually stimulated to be released. She then went on to tell me that it’s the worst smell imaginable, a potent mixture of excrement, fish sauce and fat. Then she invited me in. ‘Would you like to come in while I do it?’ Are you kidding? I’d like to phone a friend! What an invitation. A chance to watch someone place a gloved (at least I hope it’s gloved) finger up my dog’s butt and then witness the release of some of the world’s deadliest stench. If there’s a plague of hundreds of small dogs all needing their anal glands released (I’m told at least once a month) then why aren’t we stockpiling the liquid for use in chemical warfare? I can see soldiers being dropped into war zones, armed only with scooting poodles and a rubber glove. ‘OK, Bob, we’re going to clear the area.’ I refuse the kind offer to witness the anal probe. Poor Elvis. I hear him yelp in pain. Or is it surprise? Or is it relief? It’s not every day you get taken to a strange room, placed on a metal slab and analy probed. He must think he’s been abducted by aliens. It’s $50. Well worth the money. Frankly, I’d pay double for the pleasure of not having to do it myself. The scooting has stopped. A friend told me he got so sick of paying the money he learned to do it himself. I don’t know if he did do it to save the money. Perhaps he enjoyed it. All I know is that when he invites us round for a BBQ I make sure none of us scoots on his rug. I’ve seen the size of his fingers. He’d have to wear dishwashing gloves.

The live show is an extraordinarily energetic and joyous occasion, and we’re still learning how to cope with being paid for enjoying ourselves so much. It’s unnatural. Tell me a little about recording One Step Closer – what was the inspiration for the album? We were inspired by the prospect of being rich and famous and never

having to work again. Actually not even famous, just rich will do. My toaster needs replacing, Rabbit hasn’t got any windows in his house and Willy B wants a gold plated zimmer frame for when he retires. What did you set out to achieve? I think we just wanted to produce the best music we were capable of at this place, in this time. We wanted an album we could be proud of. We also wanted to get across the energy of the live show. You can’t see Rabbit’s passionate live performing on an album or Banjovi’s attempts to be the five–string equivalent of Pete Townsend and it was important to bring out that aspect of our musicality.

How close did you get to your goals? Chris Brooker’s come up with some extremely hooky tunes and mesmerising lyrics, so in terms of being famous things are looking good. His songs are very memorable after only one listen. We employed the services of Anthony Lycenko to help us produce the album and I think between us we certainly achieved what we set out to do. We all agree it’s the best work we’ve ever been associated with. Anthony has worked with the likes of Xavier Rudd, The Waifs, and was ARIA nominated for his work with Pete Murray. I think he was keen to work with us because of the instrumentation in the band and the challenges we presented to him. How would you describe RMG’s sound on One Step Closer – have you moved in a new direction? I think we’ve moved in several different directions all at once. One critic accused us of having ‘invented our own genre’. The mandolin, banjo and fiddle are all still there, as are the four part harmonies, but there’s some real surprises on the album...such as the 96 tracks we took to record Mos Vos, a track on the album which starts with a Gregorian chant...not

a typical start to a bluegrass song. There’s also a stack of different instruments that we employed – Hammond organ, an accordion we found in a junk shop, a 12 string electric, a vibraphone, a cello. We had lots of fun experimenting and Anthony was always keen to run with any ideas we had as well as throwing in his own considerable knowledge bank into the mix. Ivory Tavern on Friday at 7pm with Joel Salom as MC, The Swingin Cowgirls and solo performer Loren. Tickets are at the tavern or The Sugarbeat Cafe, Cabarita Surf Club, Cabarita Village Video, Tweed Heads Musicland and Byron Music.

THE NINTH CHAPTER AT THE BEACH HOTEL ON FRIDAY

Just Beautiful It’s strange, the things a man will hear in his own heartbeat when the mad, bad world of expectation and compromise is safely locked outside. Listen. The Beautiful Girls have been a long time underground. OK, there was one tour of Brazil, the odd how here and there. But since Mat McHugh wound up touring his solo album, Seperatista!, in March 2009, he’s been a virtual recluse, digging deep for new sound and meaning downstairs in his home studio on Sydney’s northern beaches. AT NORTHERN BEAUTIFUL GIRLS HOTEL GRE AY WEDNESDAY AND THURSD

What he found surprised and thrilled him. ‘The weird thing is I don’t even like much reggae,’ says the singer–songwriter and visionary of a radically evolving roots–rock ensemble that began infiltrating the world stage some seven years and four albums ago. ‘But the reggae I do like, I love, love, love.’ The exotic passion that stirs the souls of Mat and his rhythm compadres, Paulie B and Bruce Braybrooke, begins to drip like some rare and potent elixir from the opening beats of their new album, Spooks. Dig the spaced–out effects, skittering drums and dark blue horns of ‘My Mind Is An Echo Chamber’; the brash toasting and cops–and–rude–boys narrative of ‘10:10’; the offbeat keys and dub undertow of ‘Running’. The rich production and stylistic threads run deep, pure and almost mystically familiar – albeit a world apart from the ubiquitous Bob Marley borrowings of the Australian summer festival scenesters.

love of the 1978 Jamaican film of that name. Then the work began. See the result at the Hotel Great Northern Wednesday and Thursday.

Chapter number nine, number nine, number nine … The Ninth Chapter are a six piece funk driven groove and roots outfit. Their unique blend of influences from Funk to Jazz and Blues combined with an energetic and expressive live show has seen them labelled one of the most exciting acts in the area. The Ninth Chapter have supported such noble acts as True Live and Dallas Fresca whilst sharing the stage with industry heavy weights including Blue King Brown, Grinspoon and Gyroscope. They open the book to the right page at the Beach Hotel on Friday.

Getting your Ghost on The Ghost Brothers are Vancouver Canada’s very own Roots Rock Rhythm Bandits. The Reggae/Surf/Folk inspired grooves along with harmonious vocals and energy–infused songs will keep you moving on the dance floor. They burst onto the scene a few years ago with their unique brand of music, four guys: guitars, djimbes, bass, drums, flutes, keyboards, pump organs and vocal melodies all perfectly placed and combined with no effort.

There’s a hilarious aroma in the air, so come and join Jimeoin as he effortlessly makes you breathe in his witty brand of charming humour...you will leave with the unforgettable stench of happiness. For a good, clean laugh, you can’t go past Jimeoin. Born in Belfast, he arrived in Australia at the age of 22 where he found work as a gardener. Whiling away hours communing with nature, he had plenty of time to think and clearly he’s done OK for himself since then. He is one of the very few artists to have his own show, which aired on the Seven network in the mid-90s for three seasons. He’s appeared on every TV show you can think of (Thank God You’re Here, Good News Week, Hey Hey it’s Saturday, Full Frontal plus in the USA on Late Nights with Conan O’Brien to an estimated audience of over 13 million), written and starred in hit movies (The Craic and The Extra), has a DVD with regular collaborator Bob Franklin, Jimeoin and Bob’s Cooking Show and continues to tour the world to sell–out houses. In 2010, his travels have continued unabated with performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Montreal ‘Just For Laughs’ comedy festival as well as tours to New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Ireland and the far east. He also did a run around the outer suburbs of Sydney and got in a spot of fishing in Darwin. The air gets stinky at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday.

is destined for big things. ‘This music is from the soul,’ says Dallas. ‘It’s about believing in yourself and following your dreams.’ Known for writing killer tunes with insightful lyrics that reveal a lust for life, a love of nature and a light heart, Dallas displays a tenderness which belies his years.

On the east with Easton Mark Easton is a high octane one man blues machine who burns it up on slide guitar. He uses a loop system to layer his music, which combined with wicked harmonica and drumming with his feet provides a full, infectious sound to grab the crowd’s attention. His focus is on original material with left–of–centre covers dispersed throughout each set. If you’re into raw blues with driving riffs, wailing guitars and snarling vocals then Mark Easton is the bluesman for you. This is dirty white trash blues by a one man band on steroids at the Australia Hotel in Ballina on Saturday.

Described by Triple J as ‘Never failing to miss a beat’, Dallas James is playing a rare solo event at The Italian at the Pacific over a lazy Sunday lunch. Hailing from Byron Bay Dallas grew up on the beach, something that shines in his music. From fun, catchy danceworthy tracks to sweet ballads, Dallas James

tapped into the zeitgeist and in to the hearts of the general public thanks to a lot of love from national broadcaster Triple J as well as a slew of community radio stations. Not content to sit on their collective laurels basking in the glory of their toe-tapping, delicious ditty, Dead Letter Chorus are packing their cases and shining their shoes in preparation for another musical jaunt, this time handpicked to accompany the inimitable Jason Collett and Zeus as they win hearts and minds nationally. The Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

Jason Collett They say that life begins at 40, but in the case of Jason Collett, that’s not just some overly optimistic bumper–sticker slogan. To many indie–rock fans, Jason Collett is the wise, big–brother character in Broken Social Scene: the calm, cool, collected totem of stability in a band defined by drama and chaos – ‘our Tom Petty figure’, as BSS figurehead Kevin Drew once (half jokingly) dubbed him. For someone who’s been a fixture on the Toronto live–music circuit for two decades, you could totally understand if an artist of Collett’s experience and vintage settled into a country–rock comfort zone, and kept strumming the same ol’ songs until his ears gave out. But at

the core of Collett’s big brotherly wisdom is the idea that the older you get, the more you realise there’s still so much to learn. The Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

Zeus is juiced

E THE ITALIAN AT TH DALLAS JAMES AT AY ND SU N ON PACIFIC IN BYRO

Juiced about their debut album, Say Us. Juiced about taking it out of the incubatory state of the studio and on to the road. Juiced about sharing with audiences what they call ‘the thick bro–zone layer’ going on between them. In conversation, Zeus might sound like a bunch of keener teenagers eager to break out of the garage. But Say Us shows that they’re far from amateurs. Lots of young bands can conjure memories of the four Bs – the Beatles, the Band, the Beach Boys and Big Star – with the help of vintage gear and an ear for melody; very few can write songs that have a fighting chance of taking on the canon the way Zeus does here. It helps that they not only know their songcraft, but they’re a seasoned touring band that arranges their songs in the studio. Which means they sound entirely relaxed as they shift tempos, surround themselves with sugary harmonies, write countermelodies for dual guitar leads, and run honky–tonk pianos through sub–aquatic sonic effects.

Her carvings and patterns are developed freehand, and gradually build upon themselves until a pattern emerges. Order from chaos appears to be a resounding theme in Jules’s work. What started in chaos on her dining room table in between mothering duties has evolved into a full time business that sustains her ﬁnancially and allows her enough time to create. How did this occur?

Jules Hunt can be found in her studio most days carving intricate designs or painting geometric patterns of colour onto her bold ceramic creations.

JULES HUNT OF JULES HUNT STUDIO GALLERY

Jules was selected to participate in the Trial Pathways Business Mentorship program, a joint venture with Southern Cross University and Nortec Employment and Training providing six months’ free mentoring. Jules told The Echo, ‘The mentorship has really helped to free up my time so that I can focus on the creative side of things. Peter Bowen (mentor) said

that keeping the creativity alive in a business like this is the most important thing. ‘He suggested that I employ a gallery assistant, so I employed Tamika who is completing a traineeship in arts administration.’ Once Jules had more time on her hands she was able to focus not only on creating but networking and exhibiting her work further aﬁeld. Jules exhibits in Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland, and has also been commissioned to make three pieces for City of Dreams Casino in Hong Kong. Her most effective networking mechanism so far? Speed dating at the 2009 FEHVA festival, where she met two national art directors and curators who now exhibit her work. Jules works seven days a week and attributes her success to discipline. So, why all the hard work? ‘I just want to do what I enjoy and make a living from it.’

Love And Other Drugs A rather too ample sufficiency of soft porn and jokes that rarely rise above the obvious mar somewhat a movie that is honourable in intent and heartfelt in its expression. Jake Gyllenhaal is Jamie, the ne’er do well, gigolo son of a wealthy family who, when he tries his hand as a sales rep, establishes himself as the gun operator for Pfizer, the giant pharmaceuticals company on the verge of the Viagra revolution. He has a genius for networking and everybody is won over by him,

women especially. Gyllenhaal, more your sensitive new age guy, seems at first to be miscast as the horny and not very appealing player, but his so easily loveable side is employed to great effect when he meets the edgy, independent Maggie (Anne Hathaway) who, it transpires, is in the early stages of Parkinson’s Disease. They hit the sack quick-smart and their affair is pursued with red hot tempestuousness but as neither of them, for different reasons, sees any value in commitment, their relationship is kept at arm’s length. How, as a society, we are becoming culturally

indoctrinated to deny our deepest need for intimacy as commodified sexual gratification proscribes emotional honesty is a point well made (and overdue), but it tends to be hammered here to the exclusion of all others. Maggie’s character comes without much back-story – she is cashed up enough to afford medication without relying on health insurance, but works as a waitress and lives as an artist in what appears to be a converted warehouse (the story is a bit like Rodolfo’s and Mimi’s, but with the lovers’ social standing reversed). Jamie’s brother Josh (Josh Gad) is a source of constant irritation, written into the script, one suspects, merely to provide the laughs as the gross Jack Black type who can’t get laid. Literally worth millions, he implausibly debunks to Jamie’s pad to sleep on the lounge after he’s split with his partner, thus enabling the script to include the cobwebby gag that has Maggie disrobe in front of Jamie without knowing of Josh’s presence – I kicked the end out of my cot laughing at that one, and there are plenty others of similar vintage. There is also a segment that has Maggie attend a gathering of real-life sufferers of Parkinson’s that, depending on your own sense of propriety, goes perilously close to exploiting the afflicted to crank up the emotional weight of the screen romance. As chick flicks go, this is worth a row of choccoated ice creams, but I was unmoved. ~ John Campbell

BALLINA FAIR CINEMAS

Morning Glory The Sydney Morning Herald’s Sandra Hall suggests that this film is undone by ‘an off-putting vein of sentimentality.’ If, like me, you are not put off by such a shockingly unfashionable and plebeian component (dare we alternatively refer to it as ‘humanism’?), you might argue that it is one of its strengths. I mean, for Gawd’s sake, what we’re dealing with here is a humble rom-com, not an epochal cinematic masterpiece that is meant to be lauded and analysed by blackshirts over their machiattos. Becky (Rachel McAdams), an ambitious career gal, is hard done-by when re-structuring sees her ‘let go’ from a television job that she has excelled in. Given an opportunity by a New York network executive (Jeff Goldblum), she accepts the challenge of reviving the near terminal standing of breakfast TV’s Daybreak. Her brainwave is to hire legendary news journo Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford) as co-host alongside the incumbent Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton). Egotistical, sour-puss Pomeroy considers such shows as fit only for those who are waiting for the nurse to roll them over every morning (who could argue?), but he is forced into the gig by an inescapable clause in his existing contract. To make matters worse before they can get better – there is no deviation from tried and true formula – Pomeroy’s recalcitrance and his immediately antagonistic relationship with Peck threaten to undermine Becky’s bold initiative when she so desperately needs to prove herself.

YOGI BEAR

Michell wisely has his heroine romantically attached to a fellow producer (nondescript Patrick Wilson – Rachel could do much better), so as to allay any fears we may harbour of her engaging in a preposterous dalliance with the haggard Pomeroy, but supplemented by the usual

collection of production-line pop songs inserted as mood indicators, everything drifts along an over-familiar course – Morning Glory, like Daybreak, is taking water at this point and threatens to sink without trace. A remarkable transformation comes when Becky instructs her weatherman to board a roller coaster with a handheld-camera man and file a report while on the ride. It’s outright hilarious and from that moment the show’s ratings begin to surge and the movie, suddenly charged with effervescence, finds irresistible momentum. Ford, who gets the best lines (there is a lovely hook-and-catch with his refusal to utter the word ‘fluffy’) and Keaton are terrific, but, relishing the theme of ‘go you good girl’, it is the adorable McAdams’s energy and warmth that create the buzz and, yes…the cuddly sentiment. ~ John Campbell

E ARIES: You’re an organising dynamo this week – curious, inquisitive, ambitious. This energy needs channeling via the Balance Dance: too assertive and you’ll run into authority problems, too enthusiastic and you’ll override other people’s valuable input. Shimmying along the tightrope between expressive and receptive? Perfecto! F TAURUS: This week’s astral patterns support a sort out: recycling, replacing, giving away, donating or just plain chucking. If old habits start creeping back, give them the flick as well. Shared goals and ambitions blossom; if others are competitive make it into a fun game. G G EMINI: Venus in another mutable sign makes this a breezy week with interesting fun-loving others, the trick being not to blow the budget. Achievable by hitting the pause button occasionally for some easy listening time with your inner twin – that way your elastic won’t snap. H CANCER: A good week for researching the direction you want this year to take, steering a course between over the moon enthusiasm and knock-backs bursting your bubble. If a blast from the past leaves you stirred and shaken, independent action will get you back on track. I L EO: In this week of overblown promises and great exaggerations, make sure none of them are yours, pussycat people. Incoming data’s unreliable, so don’t believe everything you hear. Your current plans get plenty of star support, and who can magick setbacks into wins better than you? J V IRGO: Virgos need to feel useful, but if this week seems more obligation than pleasure, whose responsibility’s that? Martyrs just aren’t sexy, so find ways of injecting pleasure into the proceedings. If others seem pushy, be tolerant of their idiosyncrasies as they are of yours.

With the Australian Open in North Sydney past the halfway point, the tournament has already become a battle between the established Australian Olympians and the young guard. So far, as at the Gold Coast international after Christmas, honours have gone to the youngsters, with Gold Coast winner Junta Ikeda causing the tournament’s biggest upset to date by beating top seed Zhao Zong Yuan. Ikeda’s fifth round defeat of Zhao was a remarkable replica of Ikeda’s first win over a Grandmaster, which happened in 2005 when Ikeda was only 14. Ikeda, under severe time pressure, had been defending stoutly when GM Zhao also ran himself short of time looking for an elusive winning line. (See diagram, right) Here, instead of playing the winning move 39.Kg1, Zhao picked up his queen and placed it on g2. Before his hand had left the piece he noticed that 39...Nxg3+!

would be an effective reply, so he looked around for a better square to put the queen; there was none. Chasing the chimera of a win that was no longer possible, Zhao forgot about his clock and, as he raced to return the queen to g2, exceeded the time limit, losing the game automatically. To beat one Grandmaster this way might be considered luck; to beat two like this must be close to witchcraft. Yet Ikeda can boast a third win on time against a confused GM victim, Serbian GM Antic in 2007. Half a century ago World Champion Mikhail Tal was accused of hypnotising his opponents, a skill later also attributed to Australia’s Stephen Solomon; now Junta Ikeda seems to have joined the club. At the very least, like Solomon, Ikeda’s survival skills are amazing. Zhao’s misstep has left George

Xie as favourite to retain his Open title, though there are plenty of potential challengers, both young (Ikeda, Illingworth, Ly) and experienced (Zhao, Solomon). The Open has also been a breakthrough tournament for nine-year-old Anton Smirnov. The Sydney prodigy won his first two games and then drew with an International Master and a FIDE Master, before finally dropping off the pace. Smirnov, who finished second in the World U/8 Championship in 2009, is likely to rank among the top three nineyear-olds on the next world ranking list. For all the excitement to date, it must be admitted that the 2011 Australian Open is a low-budget affair, with only one domestic Grandmaster and no foreign stars. As a result of the differential in sponsorship, Canberra’s

Easter-time O2C Doeberl Cup has become bigger, stronger and arguably more prestigious than the once great Australian Open. The 2011 Open first prize is $2,500, half that of the first Open of the modern era in 1971. With no appearance fees offered to Grandmasters only Zhao Zong Yuan, playing in his hometown, felt it worth competing for the 2011 Open title. Nonetheless, the Open is still a tournament where reputations can be made, and Ikeda is showing that the Olympic selectors may have a new name to consider for Australia’s 2012 team. a

Television Guide 1. When too much bonnet drama is never enough, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the timeless pleasure of Pride And Prejudice (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm), this 2005 version starring Keira Knightley, among others. 2. Babel (SBS1, Saturday, 10.15pm) is the right title for this thriller as chaos ensues from Morocco to Mexico, with Brad Pitt and the viewer trying to make sense of it. 3. The Black Balloon (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm) is a very impressive and moving Australian drama, as two teenagers come of age around a family dealing with an intellectually challenged child. Beautifully acted by the kids and mum Toni Collette.

Why, I would occasionally muse, would anyone want to cook on a yacht? Yet to be persuaded of the charms of sailing (is it because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Canberra girl?), I add to that the clustered claustrophobia of an over-heated galley kitchen conducting a job high-pressured under ordinary circumstances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the terrifying knowledge you cannot, should it all become too awful, just calmly walk away. That, however, was before I talked to Wil, Paddy and Ali. Baby-faced Dubliner Wil Ennis is head of the kitchen at Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian at the Pacific restaurant; by his own admission he is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;super easy-goingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and prepared to give most things a go. And so when a friend suggested a job on super-yachts the then 24-year-old trained chef thought he might give it a go for a month. He stayed for three years, cooking for a sheik whose full name he never even knew (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call him Triple A,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; says Wil), sailing mostly between Sardinia and the Seychelles. Seventytwo metres of boat, 26 staff and two to three chefs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although in the first year Wil didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much cooking. By the second year â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;word had spread about the fantastic Irish chef cooking Italianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so Wil was working harder. Quarters were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smaller than a prison,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he tells me, with everyone sharing rooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but unlike other chefs he never complained. And why indeed? Cooking for billionaires, film stars and Saudi Arabian princes; a boss who would often whisk him off to Michelin-starred restaurants for dinner or invite some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chefs aboard; produce flown in from around the world; nothing to spend money on and two monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; holiday every year. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You met so many different characters,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he tells me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every Christmas one friend of the sheikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gave me 1 1/2 kilos of white truffles. All I had to do every morning was cook him eggs on the beach: six with truffles shaved over the top.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Extravagant ingredients were just one of the charms of cooking on yachts for local chef Patrick (Paddy) Hobbs. Currently taking a break in order to pursue academia, Patrick tells me about the 10,000-euro budget per month for the crew of eight with whom he shared his

<echowebsection=Good Taste>

Alison Drover â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sustainable food consultant, marketing strategist and event designer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; relocated from Sydney last year to the Northern Rivers, having spent about seven years cooking on yachts. She too recalls the pods of dolphins , the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wallpaper of sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Tahiti and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seeing manta ray flying through the airâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as among her most cherished experiences. Alison sailed in France, Corsica, Italy, Fiji, Portugal, South of England, Tonga, Cook Islands, Tahiti and French Polynesia, personal chef for families and individuals. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If I died tomorrow,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; she tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it was the best thing I ever did and the most amazing adventures and challengesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included bikini-waxing in the middle of the Pacific. More importantly, the challenges revolved around sourcing food then cooking it, especially in remote locations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it was this which helped to shape her marketing company The Alison Principle: the discovery, in her words, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that sustainability and scarcity drive creativity and resourcefulness.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So now I begin to understand why one might undertake such a job. At the very least, it has given rise to such wonderful stories, and such wonderful storytellers the more colourful and compelling for it.

super-yacht some seven years ago. The owners were retired Americans who divided their year between home in Florida and their yacht. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;They had what was coined the â&#x20AC;&#x153;milk runâ&#x20AC;? between St Tropez and Monaco,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Patrick says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;which we probably completed fortnightly.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sardinia too was part of the itinerary and it blew him away. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I fell in love with Sardinia,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We would be at anchor off the uber-rich Hotel Calle de Volpe... It truly was another world, and the island itself is just breathtaking.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Specialty food items were frequently air-freighted from around the world for the owners and their guests; there was lots of partying; lemonade staved off seasickness; they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lived somewhat vicariously like kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Watching a whale dive underneath the yacht on one of the journeys from Cannes to Rome still resides in Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory as one of the greatest joys.

Byron is a shire of themed parties, from Frock to Pirate and anything in between, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame more restaurants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take up the idea. You could just brand your usual menu as New Romantic or Halloween and people wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind as long as they were having fun in their party gear. Having watched the squillionth re-run of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just a sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I began to think what the Goth crew would identify with as food. The colour of blood would have to be involved, easily expressed through red wine and food colouring. Perhaps sugar skulls? It all depends on how hardcore the goths are as to how disgusting the food becomes. The Vampire Lite Twilight groupies need not apply â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any fizzy drink will do for them. Important conversations are held on this matter. Sensibly, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Foodie.tribe.net suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Given that the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;gothicâ&#x20AC;? subculture finds many of its roots in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and not Hot Topic or Disney movies, perhaps you could borrow from these periods. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Items should be one or two bites sized so as to not interfere with dress or makeup. And of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in the presentation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; black lunch bags, novelty cocktail picks and napkins.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goes on to suggest menu items such as tea sandwiches (salmon mousse on black bread

with onion and watercress), black seedless grapes, and champagne and absinthe cocktails. The Ăźber-Goth, Richmond from The IT Crowd, would heartily approve of absinthe. Of course the Victorian Goth roots spring mostly from Bram Stokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel Dracula, set in Transylvania, so you could reason that the food should spring from there. Expect pork, mutton, veal, flavoured with thyme, red pepper or tarragon. Cabbage (varza) also figures heavily, and you could get the party going with a variety of double-distilled Transylvanian liquors: palinca, horinca and rachie. To be true to history, we could go back to the real Goths, the East Germanic tribe of the third century. They made awesome jewellery but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about their food. The ancient Romans are the main written source, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little dodgy. Probably best to stick with black and red food and have everybody dress accordingly. Or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not into Goth, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always Viking.

Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthy Weight Week runs from 23 to 30 January and is designed to raise awareness of the importance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and a healthy lifestyle. Events are held in the last week of January each year to help promote this message, and promote how an accredited practising dietitian can assist with weight loss, weight maintenance and lifestyle management. With more than 13 million adults and one in four children overweight in Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA) is encouraging Aussies to jump, skip, hop and munch their way into the new year with this, the fourth annual event of its kind. Under the theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Live Your Life : Weight Mattersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Australians will be encouraged to embrace a healthier lifestyle to avoid obesity-related lifestyle diseases. DAA has accredited practising dietitians available for interviews to discuss the initiative and its importance for Australians. For more information visit www. healthyweightweek.com.au.

Crankin’ what’s happening in the surf Byron Bay Boardriders The Byron Bay Boardriders will kick off their surfing season early this February. The surfing season for club members includes ten monthly competitions with excellent prizes donated from local businesses for each round. The club has a number of social events throughout the year

and they enter a team into the largest national teams events on the surfing calendar. This year the club will proudly organise the 36th annual Ben King Easter Surfing Classic, the longest running amateur surfing event in Australia. This 2011 season is set to be another enjoyable year and the club encourages all our past

members to join once again – surfers young and old, of all skill levels are invited to sign up for the season. Everyone is asked to attend the sign on night on Saturday February 5. The first club competition will be held Sunday February 6. For more info email Bryce on his new email bryce.cameron@belleproperty.com.

Bangalow union gets touchy pre-season Bangalow Rugby Union Club will begin their 2011 campaign with a social game of touch football at the Bangalow Sports Fields on Wednesdays starting from January 12 at 6pm. Current players from both senior and junior squads, past players, supporters and anyone interested in a social game are all welcome to come along and enjoy the weekly pre-season event. Bangalow’s senior side currently plays in the Far North Coast Village Competition and the club is looking to recruit potential players for the forthcoming season. Bangalow may be a small town, but it has a proud Rugby tradition. The original Bangalow Royals played rugby union here before the First World War. The senior

club was reformed in 2003 and has had outstanding recent success, winning the Village competition from 2005 to 2009. The junior club was started in 2007 with a single under 12 team. In 2010 they had five teams from under 8s to under 14s. The club prides its self on team spirit on and off the field with a strong social culture which encourages families and friends to enjoy the games and social events. The club would also welcome approaches from groups of under 16 or under 17 players and girls are welcome to play up to the age of 13. The touch football games are a good chance to blow out the off-season cobwebs and have some fun.

For further information regarding playing this year or becoming involved with the club please contact Simon Balcon for the seniors on 0416 287 786 and for the juniors Dave Phillips on 0412 080 614 or Paul Defina on 0400 57 2028.

New Direction for BBFC The 2011 season marks a new direction for Byron Bay Football Club and in particular the ‘Rams’ Premier League Squad. In a move sure to turn some heads and get tongues wagging, the club has appointed John Sowter as Premier Squad head coach and club director of coaching. John was Football FNC’s director of coaching for four years and developed highly successful FFNC representative development programs for young players competing in the NSW and Queensland State Youth League competitions. John is a long-time Suffolk Park resident and has 25 years of coaching experience with high level professional, semi pro and amateur clubs in England, the USA and Australia – he has also worked for numerous professional, semipro and amateur clubs around the world since the early 80s. John’s simple coaching ethos has always remained the same ‘We will be entertaining in the attacking third and try to score goals. We will play at pace, be aggressive in attack and let the defenders defend’. John will no doubt add a new dimension to the already ROWING Byron Rowing Club Results 7.1.11 Paddle Division I.

highly acclaimed Byron Premier Squad. After travelling to Singapore to complete his AFC ‘A Licence’ football qualification early last year, he flew to Europe to work with the French Football Federation and some of the most experienced coaches in Europe on a grass roots talent identification program. After clocking up plenty of frequent flyer miles throughout 2010, John is thrilled to be back in the Bay and working with the club. With over 400 players at the club, the development of juniors and youth is a major priority so in addition to his role as Premier League squad

coach, John will also have the job of supporting and developing the junior coaches and players in line with the FFA National curriculum. The club is confident that Byron FC will soon have the best football coaching program on the North coast. It will be a fantastic opportunity for local players and should help them to achieve their full football potential. John Sowter is very excited to be working for the great football community in the Bay and delighted to be a part of the club in this capacity. ‘There are some great players at Byron,’ he said. ‘In particular the young, talented Premier Squad should produce excellent results in 2011’. Dates for the start of 2011 training at Byron Bay Recreation grounds have been confirmed senior teams. The Premier League squad starts on Tuesday January 25 at 6pm. The Women’s team on Wednesday January 26 at 6pm and the junior sign on will be held on Saturday February 12 at 9am. Senior men’s teams training is yet to be confirmed.

New laws for small business Small Business Minister, Senator Nick Sherry, is urging small business operators to get to know their rights and responsibilities under new laws and procedures that have taken effect from January 1, 2011. These include changes to industry codes on fair conduct, the definition of what is a small business employer for unfair dismissal provisions and the introduction of the paid parental leave scheme. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The new Competition and Consumer Act puts in place tougher enforcement powers that apply to all industry codes, including the Franchising Code of Conduct,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Senator Sherry said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These stronger enforcement powers will spur rogue franchisors into complying with the law.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; National, state and territory regulators also have a larger arsenal of investigation and enforcement tools for breaches of fair trading laws under the Australian Consumer Law, including infringement notices, civil pecuniary penalties and disqualification orders. Changes include a new

definition of small business employer for the purposes of unfair dismissal laws. A small business employer will no longer be a business with fewer than 15 full-time equivalent employees, but a business with 15 employees based on a simple headcount. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This change makes it easy for small business to understand if they are a small business for the purposes of unfair dismissal law,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Senator Sherry said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paid Parental Leave scheme is also effective as of January 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a six-month phase-in period for employers.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eligible working parents of babies born or adopted from January 1, 2011 will receive 18 weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Parental Leave Pay at the National Minimum Wage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; currently $570 a week before tax. Further information on the unfair dismissal laws is available from www.fairwork.gov. au.

the power to fix the property market problems,’ Ray Ellis, Chief Executive of First National said. ‘There is lots of finger pointing going on, but there is not any real discussion about what we can do to fix it. ‘At the end of the day it is the home buyers and owners who suffer, while the banks keep making record profits and governments keep their heads in the sand,’ Mr Ellis said. ‘What they should be doing is looking to influence affordability and supply by reducing or abolishing stamp duties, abolishing exit fees, introducing more competition into the banking sector and looking at policies that will stimulate the construction industry. ‘Instead, we keep putting up with inaction from the government and greed from the banks.’ Mr Ellis said he was particularly unimpressed by banks who deemed

it appropriate to increase their standard variable rates by as much as 14 basis points above the RBA increase. ‘What is most disconcerting about this is that it seems each of the banks are taking their turn at being the bad guy and being the first to lift their rate higher than the RBA increase. ‘As one consumer interest group spokesperson said, if all the banks moved at the same time by the same amount, and this was a horse race, you would have a steward’s inquiry.’ But not even the prospect of a Senate enquiry into banking competition, or Parliamentary debate on legislation forcing banks to lift rates by no more than the RBA, is enough, according to Mr Ellis. ‘Interest rates on their own are not the problem. We need to have a look at all the factors affecting the property market: planning approvals, interest rates, fees and charges,

everything all at once rather than this piecemeal approach. ‘New banking policies are called for but so is a national approach to planning, because ultimately it is the “mum and dad” property owners

who will suffer the most. ‘We need political leaders who have the fortitude and imagination to reform property taxes and the banking sector if there is any hope of addressing affordability issues.’

Approvals continue on downward path year with disappointing building approvals data which point to subdued housing starts in the first quarter of 2011,’ Mr Harvey said. ‘The real concern is that the November figures would not have felt

Building approvals continued their downhill run in November 2010 after a temporary reprieve in October, according to the Housing Industry Association (HIA). HIA Senior Economist Andrew Harvey said that total residential building approvals fell by 4.2 per cent in November 2010 to be down by 9.9 per cent over the year. ‘The November figures suggest that the October uptick in building approvals was a blip on an otherwise downwards trajectory,’ said Mr Harvey. The November fall in approvals follows a 8.3 per cent increase in October which was driven by a large increase in private sector other dwellings, a highly volatile market segment. Other dwelling approvals fell by 7.7 per cent in November and in the three months to November

the full impact of the November interest rate hikes by the RBA and the banks, so it’s hard to see Australia’s residential building activity improving anytime soon.’ Much of the monthly November headline result is driven by a 13.4 per cent fall in NSW approvals (seasonally adjusted) although this follows a strong 18.0 per cent increase in October. The November approvals figures also see falls experienced in South Australia (down by 2.7 per cent) and Tasmania (down by 15.6 per cent). The jurisdictions experiencing an increase in approvals in November 2010 were Victoria (up by 3.1 per cent), Queensland (up by 3.3 per cent) and Western Australia (up by 7.1 per cent). In trend terms approvals in the ACT were up by 1.5 per cent while Northern Territory approvals fell by 16.6 per cent.

According to local pastellist James DeWeaver (www.jamesdeweaver.com), the famous photographer of nude people, Spencer Tunick, created this fleshy installation in 2001 at the Arts Factory Lodge in Byron Bay. Somewhere in there, too, says James, is the even more celebrated street artist Banksy.

What about that rain? We hear that running a fan in your house can help circulate and dry out the air, thus reducing the incidence of mould. Failing that, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always Tasmania. Q Q Q Q

An Echo drudge had her NYE spoiled by the thoughtless act of a vandal when, after celebrating in Bruns, she got back to her car only to find it had been keyed to the tune of $550. In an effort to help the planet, she bought the environmentally friendly Toyota Prius, her first new car which she has been paying of for two years with another four to go. What a way to start the new year with a huge bill as the result of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three seconds of jollies. Q Q Q Q

Grail Quest

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

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

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