Firefighter speaks up over tragic NYE car crash A local firefighter is imploring the community to work together to educate young drivers after last week’s tragic car accident that claimed the life of a young man. On New Year’s Eve, Phil Preston from Mullumbimby Fire Brigade was one of the crew called to a singlevehicle accident on Left Bank Road. ‘In the midst of the tragedy I thought to myself, “There is so much we can do to prevent these accidents from occurring.” As much as assisting at fires and accidents is part of a firefighter’s job, another part is community education and preventing them from happening in the first place.

‘Research has shown young drivers who attend driver education programs have a 44 per cent reduced risk for having an accident.’ Mr Preston says he has been helping deliver the FRNSW ‘RescuEd’ road safety program to local year 10 high school students and recently attended the RRISK road safety presentation for Year 11 students.

Recommendations He told The Echo he was even more saddened to hear the young man in the accident was a mate’s son, and has resolved to do all he can to increase the safety of young

people on the roads. ‘As a start there are three things I recommend all young people do before they drive on their own. They are free and can almost halve their chance of having an accident.’ ‘1. In Year 10 attend the FRNSW “RescuEd” road safety presentation; ‘2. Get a free “keys2drive” driving lesson with an accredited instructor; ‘3. In Year 11 attend the RRISK road safety presentation.’

‘Community support and involvement is crucial to our success. ‘I want to bring together young people, their parents and carers, schools, businesses, organisations, councils and government and work together to increase the safety of young people on the roads. ‘There are so many great resources and amazing people working to keep young people safe on the roads. We need to do more to make sure young people are getting the message.’ Transport options For more information about the Mr Preston has initiated a project to project contact Mr Preston on 0414 increase the safe transport options for 809 330 or email phil@buildingpartnerships.com.au. young people in Byron Shire.

Police allege Mr Foss was deliberately driven at by Mr Mitchell, and told media they had to chase Mr Mitchell through two kilometres of rugged bushland at Nashua before capturing him on Wednesday. Inspector Greg Jago of Tweed/Byron Local Area Command told Fairfax Radio, ‘We are aware that both parties knew each other prior to the incident and apparently there was some animosity between them’. Meanwhile, tributes have flowed for Mr Foss, who was much loved in the local community and a stalwart volunteer with Marine Rescue NSW at Brunswick Heads. He had just returned from helping four passengers of a rubber ducky that overturned at the Brunswick Bar when the incident occurred. Police have seized the van for inspection.

Byron lighthouse body recovered Police, rescue and helicopter crews battled rugged terrain on Friday to recover a man’s body that was discovered at the base of the Byron lighthouse headland last Friday morning. Inspector Greg Jago of Tweed/Byron Local Area Command told The Echo that the person was not from the area and relatives have yet to be contacted. He couldn’t say if it was accidental or suicide but said a report will be made for the coronor.

The Greens and the Northern Rivers Guardians have welcomed a review into government royalties it receives from the coal-seam gas (CSG) industry, which currently stands at zero for many projects. The current generous regime was put in place by a former Liberal-National state government under Nick Greiner in 1991. It allows all gas miners five royalty-free years, before charging five per cent in the fifth year, rising by one per cent to a maximum of 10 per cent in the tenth year. CSG leases are expected to operate for less than 10 years and experience shows some last as little as five. Northern Rivers Guardians president Michael McNamara said on

ABC radio Monday morning this amounted ‘not so much to a royalty-free holiday as a royalty-free lifetime’. NSW Greens environment spokesperson Jeremy Buckingham said, ‘It looks like this exemption was written by industry, for industry. ‘There is no reason why NSW taxpayers should subsidise the coal-seam gas industry while it seeks to roll out across farms and sensitive environments in large tracts of the state. ‘Coal-seam gas companies like Santos are proposing to put at risk our water, agriculture and the environment, but will not pay one red cent in royalties for the first five years of production.’

Illegal parking clamp downs Byron Shire Council has enforced parking laws during the holiday season, with a blitz by compliance staff on illegal vehicle use. From 26 December 2011 to 2 January 2012, Council compliance staff say they issued 550 penalty notices for infringements related to street camping.

Of the 550 penalty notices, 90 were issued between 3.30am and 6.30am on 2 January alone, as Council officers monitored how people used their vehicles during the New Year’s Day long weekend. Council staff say that rangers will continue throughout 2012 to enforce local road rules.

A new movie, funded by the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA), aims to raise awareness of the local impacts of feral pigs and the efforts that are being made to control them. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) pest management officer Lisa Wellman said

that feral pigs cause considerable environmental damage and the NPWS considers their control to be a high priority. Areas that wild pigs are found locally include Newrybar, Bungawalbin and Everlasting Swamp. A five-minute version is on Youtube at www.youtube. com/watch?v=i33xK70Tmfg.

Internationally acclaimed artists John Dahlsen and Jan Rae are now showcasing their seascape art in Byron Bay’s first pop-up gallery. A pop-up gallery is an art gallery that literally ‘pops up overnight’, unannounced, in empty retail spaces. Other shop spaces that have recently popped up around Byron include clothing stores and the Big Fish recycled furniture shop beneath the cinema complex. Mr Dahlsen said, ‘David Gordon from Ray White in Byron Bay has been an ongoing

advocate of this cut-priced or sponsored use of empty commercial spaces and has come on board as a major sponsor of the exhibition.’ Other sponsors include The Great Northern Hotel and Earth ’n’ Sea Pizza. The exhibition will run for one month and will be officially opened on Saturday January 14 from 6 to 8pm at 39 Fletcher, St Byron Bay. It will be compered by Robert Bleakley, from Sotheby’s Australian Art Auction.

A partially decomposed mermaid carcass was reportedly found on Byron Bay’s Main Beach on January 1, 2012. The corpse measures 125cm long, it has a humanoid skeletal system with the lower half of a fish. It has a human like head and neck, face, ears, arms, fingernails and chest. Could this be proof that mermaids exist? This phenomenon will be on display, along with others, at the Space Cowboy’s upcoming show, ‘Imagination Rules The World’, at The Byron Bay Community Centre January 13, 14 and 15.

Reflecting on Byron’s NYE Though police in the Tweed/ Byron Local Area Command praised the general behaviour of New Year’s Eve revellers, staff from Byron Youth Service Outreach Bus saw a different view. Deborah Pearse, Jemma Brunell and driver Fi Hunter spent the evening keeping a watchful eye on the youth celebrating and handed out food and water in the hopes of curbing some of the effects of the over-consumption of alcohol. ‘We were sober on the night so it’s always difficult to be in a really drunk crowd when you’re not in the same condition’, said Ms Pearse. ‘Perhaps there was a family ambience earlier in the evening in Byron; we weren’t there till later’.

spectful and the main culprits for littering. Ms Pearse says that though the entertainment was good it drew problems. ‘If you’re going to plonk a stage and a few rides with that many people around and have very little security for the numbers, then there’s nothing for people to do but drink.’ Ms van Haandel agreed with Ms Pearse that the rides catering to younger children and the live music didn’t leave the crowds with much else to do after it was finished. Deborah says it was not a NYE problem but indicative of a larger picture. ‘There were just more people on the night so an increase in all the issues we experience all the time and at the heart of those issues are alcohol misuse and a complete disrespect for the town. ‘The NYE crowd was better than many we’ve worked in. ‘For us, we’re trying to set a good example for young people and at the BYS we have so many programs targeting binge drinking, but when they see that many adults behaving in this way, it’s a pretty big call to expect them to be different’.

According to the Northern NSW Health Service, the mental health of youth in our region is on par with the national average, with approximately one in five youth suffering from issues such as alcoholism, anxiety and depression. Longboarder and Lennox Head resident Ben Dickens is ranked fifth in Australia and 12th in the world, recently winning both the Byron and Lennox longboarding championships. How are these facts related? It is Ben Dickens’s belief that our oceans and rivers provide a remedy for much that ails our youth. In conjunction with the Distance Education Centre (DEC) run out of Southern Cross K-12 in Ballina, Ben operates water-based courses for approximately 70 children who no longer attend school across northern NSW. ‘The system has failed these kids,’ he says, ‘and they’ve withdrawn from society. Often they’re too depressed or anxious to leave the house. They’ve disengaged.’ Ben cites inadequate parenting or alcoholism at home, bullying at school, and surprisingly, illiteracy. ‘Kids get all the way through primary school and they still can’t read, of course they drop out.’ Through his company Rubber Soul, Ben also operates specialist courses for Indig-

Brains decline from 45: new study Mandy Nolan

From the age of 45 you are in cognitive decline: this is the major finding of a study titled ‘Timing of Onset of Cognitive Decline’ by Singh-Manoux et al published in the British Medical Journal last week. SCU associate professor of Health and Human Sciences John Stevens is an expert in research into dementia and cognitive decline and lifestyle medicine, and has spent most of the weekend commenting to the media on this controversial finding. In what he describes as a ‘robust study of over 7000 people over 10 years, it became apparent that cognitive decline, in

things such as memory, reasoning, vocabulary and comprehension started at 45 not at 60 as previously indicated in the scientific literature.’ The tests excluded lifestyle and stress-related issues and measured brain function on specific cognitive tasks. ‘It’s about looking at what happens in a large group and it doesn’t mean it happens like that in individuals; what they are saying that this is a trend in the population as opposed to what happens with every individual,’ said professor Stevens. Interestingly the rate of cognitive decline is the same across the community and not affected by socio-economics, race or gender.

The only mitigating factor is lifestyle related. ‘The study commented that if you treat your heart well you treat your brain well. ‘What that is saying is that all the things we know about how to prevent heart disease, such as removing obesity, increasing activity, managing high blood pressure and high blood lipids, if we do the same thing for heart life it has the same effect for the ageing brain in slowing down cognitive decline. ‘This is not about dementia, this is normal physiological ageing process,’ continued professor Stevens, who believes that the findings of this paper will have definite social impacts. ‘It means that we have to re-

think where ageing starts. ‘Currently the literature has researchers working from the age of 60 to try and develop interventions for preventions or removal of ageing diseases like dementia.’ He went on to say, ‘World populations are ageing, so many people are going to be 45 and over very soon, yet the world is being designed around the idea that 45 is an adult without ageing issues.’ So if you are struggling to remember people’s names, use the ATM or manage the apps on your iPhone, then don’t stress. You’re not stupid, it’s just that your brain is in cognitive decline. Find a teenager to do it for you.

Highrises and no public transport for Tweed: NSW govt plan Steve Spencer

A new plan unveiled by the state government gives higher density to highrises and no provision for public transport. Tweed councillors had little option but to approve the masterplan, as the state planning department hijacked responsibility for re-designing the Tweed Heads CBD from

Tweed Council four years ago, using a town planning template it has imposed on other regional centres, including Port Macquarie, Newcastle and Wollongong. ‘No-one is going to build towers in Tweed Heads if they don’t have a guarantee their views won’t be built out,’ said Laurie Ganter, president of the Tweed Heads Ratepayers and

Residents Association. ‘Nothing will happen to central Tweed Heads. This plan will scare most developers away.’ Tweed Council general manager Mike Rayner told the meeting a recent report into Tweed Shire public transport found ‘no likelihood of light rail in the planning future’. The masterplan allows buildings up to 49.5 metres, or about

15 storeys, in some areas, while other sites will be staggered down to as low as two and three storeys. Among the big winners are the Twin Towns Services Club and the shopping centre owned by retail giant Centro. The planning department is expected to approve the Tweed City Centre Vision Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plan, early this year. www.echo.net.au

Refining the music-making process Story & Photo Eve Jeffery

Local musician and piano tuner Reuben Barkley has just launched a book, phone and tablet app (application) called JamSpeak – a sign launguage for musicians that enables communication while playing. Reuben says the aim is to cut the time wasted in jamming and rehearsals by band members who have to constantly stop to arrange music. He claims it is also a tool that can be easily utilised by large ensembles and school groups. ‘With JamSpeak you should be able to halve your practice time and rehearsals will become more fluid with less frustration’, says Reuben. ‘The feedback has been really good. People make com-

ments on iTunes from all over the world and everyone is really happy with it. There have been a lot of five star reviews’. Reuben says he first got the idea for the JamSpeak sign language about seven years ago and though the basis for the signs were developed fairly

quickly, he has spent the last six years refining it. Reuben says he worked for about six weeks with a development company to create the free app for the iPhone/iPad market. When the app was ready there was the process of get-

ting it past Apple. ‘Once the app is finished, you have to submit it to Apple who review it and let you know if there are any changes that have to be made’, says Reuben. ‘What I had in mind when I made the app free was to just get the idea out there.’ Last week figures showed that the app had been downloaded over 6,000 times. The first edition of JamSpeak is basically for use among band members but Reuben says a second edition will be released at a later stage which will see a wider and more uniform language that can pass between performers and sound check, live performance, studio and lighting technicians.

Free energy debate re-ignites over cold fusion claims Hans Lovejoy

Local free-energy advocate Sol Millin is convinced that a breakthrough with cold fusion is imminent after Italian physicist Andrea Rossi presented a recent demonstration that was witnessed by fellow scientists. Mr Rossi’s new invention is called the E-Cat, which is short for Energy Catalyser; and he claims it can create a low energy nuclear reaction at room temperature with consistent results. He also claims that it produces no nuclear waste or radioactive residue. The process is a reaction between nickel powder, hydrogen gas and a third catalyst that Mr Rossi is keeping secret. A small-scale generator will be going into mass production shortly, according to the inventor. Cold fusion, or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, emerged in 1998 as potential free energy, however was quickly discredited, after repeated experiments by inventors Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons were unsuccessful, . Since then, occasional reports have surfaced; AFP and smh.com.au reported in 2009 that scientists had a possible cold fusion breakthrough. ‘Researchers at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled what they say is “significant” evidence www.echo.net.au

of cold fusion,’ said the lead paragraph. Forbes magazine says through its website that, while Rossi’s invention is yet to be universally recognised and accepted, there are some encouraging signs. Contributor Mark Gibbs, says, ‘Rossi has been collaborating with a well-credentialed physicist and emeritus professor from Bologna University, Sergio Focardi.’

Reputations at risk Bloomberg has also reported on Rossi’s developments; however scepticism still surrounds the claims. Mr Millin told The Echo of two other professors who are putting their careers and reputations on the line over the ECat. ‘Both highly distinguished professors attended and analysed an experimental test of a mini-Rossi device in Bologna on March 29, 2011. ‘Sven Kullander is the chairman of the Science Academy of Sweden and professor emeritus of Sweden’s University of Uppsala and Hanno Essen is professor of nuclear engineering at Sweden’s University of Stockolm and previous chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society. ‘Mr Essen had this to say about the experiment: “Any chemical process for produc-

ing 25 kWh from any fuel in a 50 cm3 container can be ruled out. The only alternative explanation is that there is some kind of a nuclear process that gives rise to the measured energy production.”’ Mr Millin also says he has been in contact with Mr Rossi since March 2011 over a potential patent agreement.

Patent not accepted Another local renewables advocate, Sapoty Brook, says that the jury is ‘very much out.’ ‘If it is declared a goer by a credible authority it will be big news,’ he told The Echo. ‘But their patent application was not accepted by the USPTO on the grounds that it is inconsistent with established physical laws and a working prototype was not submitted as evidence. Since they are unwilling to demonstrate it even to get a patent one wonders about their authenticity. ‘It’s 2012 and time for a change,’ Mr Millin adds. ‘Are we about to kiss goodbye fossil fuels such as oil, gas, fracking, and uranium?’ He is founder and trustee of the Byron New Energy Charitable Trust, which aims to bring debate and a change towards energy independence.

The need to reform Labor is urgent

And the monopoly of the unions weakened, their direct representation on the key bodies being reduced first to 60 percent, then to 50 per cent. It is still, say the critics, far too much; these days less than 20 per cent of the workforce is unionised and in any case many of the unions are far less closely

could never have been made by a prime minister – only a determined opposition leader could afford to take the crash through or crash approach needed to break down the entrenched barriers of self interest. So it is both silly and pointless of the commentators to censure Julia Gillard for her reluctance to enter the fight. And it borders on hypocrisy for Bob Hawke to be among the chief urgers. Speaking in the ex-cathedra manner which has become his

secretary Bill Kelty effectively held the role of a senior cabinet minister, being consulted on all major policy matters and holding an implicit power of veto on those concerning union matters. At the same time Hawke encouraged the developing and strengthening of the unioncontrolled factions within the caucus; the legendary warlords of the right, Graham Richardson and Robert Ray, became his enforcers and protectors within the party room, at least until Richardson deserted him for Paul Keating. And it need hardly be said that no suggestion of reforming the party structure emerged at any time during the eight years of his prime ministership. If the union influence is now so suffocating the party, this is when they got the lethal pillow. Gillard is not averse to the idea of reform; she supported token changes during last year’s national conference, and although they made no real dint in the union leaders’ power, they did signal that at least the idea is back on the table, and that it will merit genuine attention – at the appropriate time. And it may not be too long delayed. If the polls are to be believed, Labor is heading for a catastrophic loss at the next election. What better opportunity to rebuild the smoking ruin from its very foundations? There will, of course, be plenty still keen to squabble over the spoils of defeat; in the Labor Party there always are. But there will also be the toughminded idealists concerned with revival, reconstruction and re-engagement. Thankfully, the Labor Party has always produced a few of those as well.

hallmark, the former leader said last recently: ‘The party will always be sympathetic to the interests of working men and women, but that doesn’t mean there has to be what is now an almost suffocating union influence.’ Well, true enough, but how did it get to be that way? When Bob Hawke left the union movement to enter parliament in 1980 the need for a reduction in union dominance was already obvious, but that did not stop Hawke using it, and doing so ruthlessly. He persuaded his union mates to deny Bill Hayden the agreement for wage restraint he had been seeking, thus weakening Hayden’s leadership in preparation for his own takeover.

Calls to resist festival plans at Yelgun via PAC OMG! I am just wondering how many of us locals in the north of the shire are asleep to what is about to be let loose upon our special and tranquil part of this world with the Dept of Planning’s incredulous approval of the Yelgun festival site! We are the ones who pay the rent/rates and have invested our lives on a daily basis to live here, raising our children in a safe and peaceful environment. Each holiday period we naturally deal with a few hundred extra visitors on our Ocean Shores streets, shopping queues, beaches etc but I am wondering if any of you are really understanding what our daily lives will be like when 10,000–50,000 people are suddenly placed within 5km of where we live. Make your voices heard! There are two last chance ‘public’ meetings coming up on February 1 at the Byron Community Centre and February 2 at the Ocean Shores Public School, but if you want to have your say you have to ring Paula Poon on 02 9383 2101 to book in.

attack on our shire. Splendour’s proposed 50,000-attendees

Vulnerable woman

Last Saturday night, two of my girlfriends and I were heading home from an evening out. It was about midnight, and we picked up a 21-year-old woman who was hitching along Broken Head Road. She was in quite a state, after a man had stopped to offer her a lift. She had a bad feeling about him, and, following her instinct, she didn’t get in his car. For the next while he kept ‘passing’ by her in his car, so she started to become extremely anxious. She had phoned a taxi driver and then discovered she had

Yelgun events site is an assault on the environment and an act of sabotage on our community’s social structure. The state government amalgamated their Tourism and Events departments, with the stated aim of doubling NSW’s tourism numbers. The result is that the state government wants to sacrifice this community and our natural environment, and treat us as expendable collateral damage in their quest for revenue and for their own political status. The development has been sent to the Planning Assesment Commission (PAC) for a final decision. The PAC is holding public meetings in Byron Bay and Ocean Shores to hear residents’ views. I urge residents to book in by January 20 and speak up (telephone 02 9383 2100, fax 02 9299 9835, pac@ pac.nsw.gov.au). The future of our Shire is at stake, whether oriented to an environmentally sound functioning community or to a tourist zone where the residents and our activities are treated as a circus for the entertainment of the visitors to the Party Shire. Multi-day rock concerts are incompatible with the Yelgun wildlife corridor and the adjacent nature reserve and wetlands. Events of 50,000 visit-

ing revellers are incompatible with a residential population of 29,000. The proposed camping accommodation for 25,000 is larger than any town in Byron or Ballina Shires, and equates to creating a new accommodation centre for the entire residential population of the City of Lismore. Potential demand for accommodation for the non-camping 25,000 has already resulted in agents lining up conversions of residential tenancies to tourist holiday lets. Expect Ocean Shores shopping centre to turn into a tourist zone. And what percentage of the 50,000 will we need to provide parking for at Brunswick Heads? And how many of the 50,000 will be turning up at the three toilets on the public beaches between the event site and the Bruns river? Should the PAC fail us, then the campaign to stop this aberration will commence. With the national press on Byron’s $100-per-night garage floor mattress, perhaps it is appropriate that we start with a Ripped Off In Byron, Naturally, campaign.

no more charge left on her phone. When the taxi driver arrived she explained to him that she could not pay him, as she had no money, but that she was desperate and frightened because this same man kept driving past her. The taxi driver refused to help her, based on the fact that she had no money. So he left her there. Which is where I am a tad concerned. He left her, knowing that she was possibly being stalked, in a dark and lonely section of Broken Head Road. I understand that she should probably have organised to

have had enough money to see herself home, that hitching solo is probably not a great idea, especially at night, when one is a little intoxicated, and that cab drivers need to earn dollars and can’t just be a free service for the disorganised. However, my concern is that the taxi driver did not even offer to call the police on her behalf – a police car hovering in the area would certainly send a potential predator running.

sential for seasonal foraging in the warmer conditions at lower altitudes during the cooler months, has had a catastrophic effect on many bird species and the ecology of our world heritage listed rainforests. Many species are rapidly declining to extinction and with the extinction of the birds responsible for the pollination and seed dispersal of rainforest plant species and the control of invertebrates that feed on such plants, major disturbances are anticipated. Even though the Land and Environment Court ruled against a trial Splendour event on land at Yelgun within the last east-west wildlife corridor and Byron Shire Council strongly objected to the current proposal, the planning department has recommended approval. Potential traffic jams of up to six hours, as reportedly occurred at the Splendour Woodford site, on the Tweed Valley Way, Brunswick Valley Way, the Yelgun interchange, Brunswick Heads and the Pacific Highway appear to be of little concern to the planning department.

A small town’s amenity at stake Q A year ago on New Years Eve

the end of Cowper Street, adjacent to the playing fields and Feros Village, was packed out with overnight campers. The council ranger was in the vicinity but took no action. The next morning local residents were confronted by huge piles of rubbish (and worse) left behind, which they gathered up for eventual collection. This New Years Eve, fearing a repeat event, I pegged large garbage bags to the playing field fences and asked the campers to please pick up their rubbish. They did. It was so uplifting to see the difference, and it raises the question, if the Council won’t regulate against camping in residential and public areas, why then can’t it provide skip bins on occasions such as New Years Eve? At Belongil beach one lousy little green bin was supposed to cope with the hundreds of revellers who drank the night away and left their bottles and cans strewn all over the place. It is disheartening to see our town turned into a dump when some simple strategies could continued from page 9

make such a difference. ‘Byron naturally’? Naturally filthy, more like. Or, instead of ‘don’t spoil us...’, how about ‘you already have!’. Louise Andrews

Byron Bay Q Many long-term residents would agree with the sentiments expressed by David Morris in his letter ‘The dollar talks and bullshit walks’ (Echo, January 3). How we all then cringe at the proposed Byron identity slogan (we all need one don’t we?) ‘don’t spoil us, we’ll spoil you’. Maybe it should be ‘don’t spoil us, we’re spoilt already’. Please, if you must have an identity, do better than this. Why not ask the people who live here? We’re very creative and not spoilt.

Freedom Theatre The Freedom Theatre in the Jenin Refugee Camp on the West Bank was established by Israeli actor, director, filmmaker and activist Juliano Mer-Khamis. He wanted to give young people experiencing the effects of the Israeli occupation: aggression, frustration, hopelessness and trauma on an almost daily basis the means to express themselves. The theatre thus fulfils a vital role in combating symptoms of severe emotional distress, concentration difficulties, aggressive behaviour, sleeplessness, nightmares and a whole host of psychosomatic symptoms. On April 4, 2011, Juliano was assassinated. The theatre’s co-founder and co-director, Zakaria Zubeidi, had been the Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade but, in mid-2007, he renounced violence in favour of artistic cultural resistance and received an amnesty from the Israeli government. Without warning or reason the Israeli government has now revoked his amnesty and, since December 29, he is being held under arrest inside the Palestinian security headquarters.

During the last few months we have all noticed the growing amount of people camping on our streets and reserves. This has now got to the stage where it seems like the BSC rangers are simply outnumbered – there just aren’t enough to do the job properly during peak holiday periods. These days if you want to come to Byron for a visit all you need to do is bring your car, sleeping bag and you’re set. If the weather is good you can just sleep under the stars next to your car right in the CBD and if you need somewhere to put your rubbish just use a shopping trolley. What a disgrace.

Q This Christmas it has become

apparent that technology has outpaced Byron Council in regard to the proposed town bypass. With the widespread use of the GPS app on the rest is only the latest example of long-standing violence and harassment against the theatre by the Israeli Defence Force. On January 3 ABC TV’s seven o’clock news carried a story about the Freedom Theatre which included an interview with Zakaria but no mention was made of the continuing Israeli Defence Force harassment against the theatre or of Zakaria’s arrest. Those who value peace, justice and artistic freedom are invited to visit the Freedom Theatre’s website and to give the support they request: www. thefreedomtheatre.org/news. php?id=213, www.youtube. com/watch?v=OaSvnkRFRic.

A fine time

smartphone, a drive along the St Helena road reveals scores of motorists travelling in the centre of this road, faces pressed against the windscreen, their quizzical expression flagging the question: ‘Where in the hell are we headed?’ The St Helena road has become the de facto town bypass and all that Council needs to do is put a camera looking north from the Woolworths fuel outlet, add a link to their website, and for the locals at least, Bob’s your uncle. For anyone with a smartphone, a quick look at the Ewingsdale Road situation will determine the route to be chosen for those wishing to go to the Bay or alternatively give them the option of going somewhere else or staying at home. With a bit of persuasion Woolworths, good corporate citizen they claim to be, might well foot the relatively small cost involved.

Byron Bay stant callouts. Council needs to think about this issue; enforcing fire alarm requirements may do nothing to improve safety. Apparently there are different kinds of alarms for different situations, so Council had better do some pro-active education instead of merely pestering its critics. I will appeal the fines. Firstly they are vague and do not specify which dwellings they refer to – meaning I cannot offer a defence. Secondly the fines are made out to me personally, but it may be my family company which is technically liable; we are separate legal entities. Readers may also recall that I complained to the AttorneyGeneral’s Department that the search warrant issued in September was based on misleading information and should not have been granted. The Department’s reply was that the only way to challenge the warrant is to apply to a Court to declare it invalid. If this is successful then more of the information obtained in the raid can be used against me. Looks like appealing the fire alarm fines might be a way to get that resolved. By the way Graeme, I didn’t open your letter until January 5, so you added nothing to my seasonal joy. Be assured though that I was thinking of you throughout. Indeed, not since Max Eastcott has a staff member so engaged my attention and focus.

People mutter darkly about Graeme Faulkner, Council’s GM, but I think he’s a sweetie. People will recall that the infamous raid on my property took place early in September last year, but Graeme waited until December 20 to add to my Christmas joy by sending me three $200 fines for fire alarm deficiencies. By a curious coincidence, only days earlier I had told Council during Public Access that smoke alarms are a waste of time for small cabins because even making toast sends them off and tenants simply remove the batteries. Indeed three cabins I’d purFast Buck$ chased from Clarkes Beach carCoorabell avan park had had their wiredin smoke alarms disconnected and the wires poked back into Noisy dogs the wall.

History without tears – 27 PMs The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely by Mungo MacCallum, published by Black Inc.

Our political columnist has been threatening a survey of Australian leaders for some time, and fortunately last year Black Inc commissioned him to write essays on each of the prime ministers who have variously graced or disgraced the Commonwealth since federation. No-one is better qualified to write these accounts than Mungo, who has actually met twelve of the 27 PMs in person, and no-one else could write about them with as much humour and insight. This is of course not an academic history; there are no footnotes (not even an index), just di-

rect, readable sketches of the 26 men and one woman who managed to claw their way up the pole, to last at the top for an average of four years each. It is a book that will not be allowed in schools because it is too interesting, but it would be a useful primer for immigrants

to learn an outline of the history of their new country, at least from the beginning of the twentieth century onwards. All these politicians had to deal, one way or another, with the power of the media to distort or cripple their careers: arrogant press barons are not a recent phenomenon. But earlier PMs tended to have more spine than our current crop. John Curtin, when approached with the familiar blend of threats and promises by an earlier incarnation of the malevolent Rupert, said bluntly, ‘I want you to understand that I obey nobody else but the people of Australia. You have nothing in the world that I want.’ The problem with writing about politicians of course, a problem Mungo puts his finger

bourhood and I bet it’s one of many suburbs in the Shire these days experiencing Total Dog Overload. We’re in south Ocean Shores, the lookout down to the river end of Rajah Road. I feel qualified to talk about it because we are part of the problem. Our mutt, like most others, goes completely berserk when a small bird settles on a tree nearby. Never mind the bird is thirty feet up, our mighty guardian still thinks

she’ll get there and chase off the ‘intruder’. And here’s the problem: when dogs move to a new area they’re all shy and respectful like people are, they know they’re the intruders. But as soon as they’ve had a few feeds and sleeps they think… ‘Right, this is my territory now, beware all strangers great and small!’ There’s a new problem in the area now, a new renter on the hill overlooking our valley of 50 odd houses. Two dogs,

one a huge mastiff, the other a little shitsu, and man, a dog never lived up to its name more soundly! Big boy has a bark like the hound of the Baskervilles, it can really set your nerves off. The little shit has this non-stop incessant high-pitched yelp than can be heard in Billinudgel. Worse still, one sets the other off and, without fail, one or the other is constantly finding something to bark at. They spend most of their life locked on an open

on early in the book, is that we don’t actually like them. But letting that dislike cool into indifference, as seems to have happened across the country in the last few years, brings us even more unlikable leaders and lets them get away with more of the stuff we don’t like them for. On the other hand if you examine closely the people who have wielded political power, at least you will get to know the enemy. Curiously, what Mungo admits he discovered in the course of researching this book is that several heroes did not live up to their reputations and some villains were a lot less villainous than he thought. To find out which is which I recommend that you read The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely. veranda overlooking the other houses, the perfect sound stage for projection, and they have done their thing almost every day, night and early morning since they arrived here. So this suburb that until last year was delightfully peaceful is now a place when there is never a moment where a dog is not howling, yelping or going berserk. Are you listening, Councillors?

Don’t boycott the folkfest Lady killers spotted in Byron Q Paul Brecht (Letters, January 3), if all of us who ordinarily enjoy being a part of the Woodford Folk Festival and the Dreaming Festival took your lead and boycotted the festivals for three years, we would most likely find that there would be no Woodford Festival to return to in three years’ time. After all, the Queensland Folk Federation, which puts on the Woodford Folk Festival and the Dreaming, is a grassroots collective of people who derive their income from us, the punters, purchasing tickets and attending their festivals. They do festivals, we pay, go, enjoy and emerge – often heartened, inspired and better informed.

and inconsiderate about their animals and will not do anything about them when asked, can you intervene? Look, dogs can be trained, controlled, if someone is not at least getting theirs to perform within the bounds of acceptability, can they be forced to comply or get rid of their mutts? David Roupell

Some Spring It’s about time someone pointed out how ridiculous the term ‘Arab Spring’ has become. It

The Lock the Gate Alliance was born of a Woodford Festival forum and has been for me the principal source of information and education about coal-seam gas and its ramifications. If our taking a hard line on this issue were to cause the demise of Woodford Folk Festival, who would be hurt by this? Santos? What other hidden realities coming into being in the wider world would benefit from no longer being brought to light in the unique and holistic forums which have been a part of these two festivals over many years?

more clearly before they jump to such actions as a boycott. In this case, the best festival in Australia being Woodford Folk Festival. It makes no sense to try to kill off such a positive and vibrant community event to protest the donation of money by the ‘enemy’. If you did boycott then you did exactly what ‘they’ wanted you to do. Never forget the old maxim ‘divide to conquer’. ‘They’ are still using it, though clearly not successfully in this case as the festival was brimming with fun and joy and its true activist Susanna Evington heart still beats strongly.

was popularised in the Western media in the early stages of the Egyptian protests when the Western powers suddenly decided, following the Tunisian example, that it was a move to democracy. This left them free to abandon their autocratic strongman in the north African world to whatever fate the protesters decided. What has happened since is that the brief Indian summer ran into problems for proponents of democracy in a group of countries, including Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. They proved

great disappointments to the West and rapidly disappeared from the discourse completely as Syria and Libya turned the ‘spring’ into an autumnal tempest marked by brutality and naked power hunting in which the West cheerfully joined. Of course, events in Palestine remain in the permafrost of the ongoing illegal occupation.

Backyard Buddies is warning Byron Shire residents to be on the look-out for exterminators wearing spotted outfits in their gardens. Nature’s pest controllers, ladybirds, are most active in warm weather and are now out in force to care for your prized plants. ‘Ditch the chemicals and pesticides if you’ve got aphids in your garden,’ said MrSteve Corbett, CEO of the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. ‘These sprays could unwittingly be getting rid of your best bug controller yet – the ladybird. ‘If given the chance ladybirds, also known as ladybugs and lady beetles, will happily eat up your aphids, scale insects and mites. An adult ladybird can consume 2,500 aphids during its lifetime. Ladybirds are thought to live for about two months, but some species can live for up to two years.’ According to Mr Corbett, here are many easy things residents can do to attract ladybirds to their gardens, including: t "WPJE VTJOH FWFO MPX UPY icity environmentally-friendly insecticides such as pyrethrum or garlic spray, as these will also kill ladybirds. t 1MBOU OFDUBS BOE QPMMFO bearing native plants as ladybirds also eat flower nectar and plant material including fungus. t .JY VQ B UBTUZ CSFX PG honey mixed with water and brewer’s yeast and spread it in the garden. t 1VU VQ XJUI B GFX VOXBOU ed bugs in the garden if you want to see ladybirds as well.

After you’ve harvested the vegies, leave the plants in the ground even after the leaves become mouldy. Look on the underside of a mouldy leaf and you may find little black critters with many legs – these are ladybird babies! ‘Ladybirds start life as an egg, go through three larval stages, and turn into a pupa before finally becoming an adult,’ said Mr Corbett. ‘During her lifetime, a lady ladybird will lay as many as 2,000 eggs. ‘Ladybird larvae look very

after sunset or before sunrise as they are more likely to stay. ‘Many cultures believe that ladybirds are lucky. Killing one is said to bring sadness and misfortune. ‘The nursery rhyme “Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home� encourages children to catch the beetles and blow them on their way in return for a wish. It is thought this was a way of getting the children to disperse the beetles amongst the crops to destroy pests and avoid famine.’

Fun facts about ladybirds There are over 500 species of ladybirds in Australia. Identify what types of ladybirds are around you at the CSIRO’s Ladybirds of Australia’s website www.ento.csiro.au/biology/ ladybirds/ladybirds.htm. Ladybird copulation typically lasts for 15-60 minutes but can extend for a few hours or even days. Like human hair going grey, as ladybirds age their spots fade. A ladybird in flight beats its wings up to 85 times per second. Ladybirds breathe through openings on the sides of their bodies. In 1999, NASA sent ladybirds and aphids up in the space shuttle to test their movements in zero gravity.

different to adults and can sometimes be confused with other bugs including scale. If you have some unknown bugs in the garden, it’s best to leave them be as they could grow up to be gorgeous ladybirds. ‘You can also purchase your own ladybird buddies to help the population become established. Different ladybirds eat different bugs, so purchase the right lady killers for your garden from www.ecoorganicgarden.com.au or www.bugsforbugs.com.au. Release ladybirds

Farewell to Johnny Foss, and a life passionately lived Robert Bleakley

Johnny Foss was born into a grand Irish family from Ballycastle but as with almost everything associated with his life, there was a twist; his actual place of birth was India. His exotic place of birth allowed distance from both the world of inherited rank and entitlement in his family lands and from the English class system which he so derided. John loathed pretence and was merciless in ridiculing snobbery; a keen consumer of left-leaning media, accessing all manner of current opinion from the Guardian Weekly through to The Irish Times (online) he sought fairness in all aspects of life. John was a brilliant awardwinning landscape architect who leaves the benefit of his considerable talent in many large-scale public works in both England and Australia. An early adopter of computer technology he became a defacto IT consultant before the role had been invented; he mastered difficult technologies in CAD which is now a platform in design. His vast generosity carried him through some tough times when he was able to lean somewhat heavily on his close friends as he did battle

bikes. He used it as a means to express, entertain and heal himself while harbouring the thought that the novel may launch him to the same level of celebrity as J K Rowling, Giacomo Fosscati jostling for celebrity status with Harry Potter. The manuscript remains unpublished, arrested in its progress as are other projects which John was actively involved in at the time of his death. Perhaps his most brilliant achievement was the arrival of enduring sobriety, an inspiration to others and the foundation which enabled him to occupy the status of a sober and conscious man contributing strongly to his community. John was a very active member of the Marine Rescue NSW, Brunswick Heads, as well as a Johnny Foss with one of his Fosscati motorised bicycles. From htttp://fosscati.wordpress.com.

with drinking, a battle which he eventually won. In so doing, after a significantly lengthy ban on driving, he developed one of the great passions of his life, that of motorised cycling. This passion which was born of necessity, led John to develop an intimate knowledge and love of the back roads of Byron Shire and it was on his favourite stretch of road that his life ended. As with so much of what John touched, it was to be-

come a compelling activity which was revealed in three stages. Firstly he developed a motorised bike of magnificent quality, a beautiful riding machine inspired by his love for the Norton motorbikes he had ridden in his student days in Leeds. Two models of his bikes bore locally inspired names, the Billinudgel Bullet and the Tyagarah Tiger, finely crafted high performance within the legal parameters. Wishing to expand the can-

vas and seeking appropriate recognition of these excellent machines he adopted a new persona, that of Giacomo Fosscati, the brilliant son of the legendary Italian cyclist Enzio Fosscati who was a central character in the third manifestation of John’s bike passion, creative writing. Nothing in half measure, John wrote, with assistance from Al Murray of Ocean Shores, a marathon novel describing the trajectory of the invention of the Fosscati

steady supporter of those in the community who were traversing the same territory which he had done. His dedicated approach meant that he mastered each new activity and his enormous intelligence enabled him to become adept in each of those new endeavours. John recently commented ‘This year my life is so wonderful there should be background music.’ He had achieved a state of peace and tranquillity light years from the troubled man he was three decades earlier. He shared his last years with his companion Nanette in whom he delighted. He was loved by many and adored by those fortunate enough to have been closely touched by his brilliant, playful and highly irreverent spirit. Vale Johnny!

More take to cycling The National Cycling Participation Survey shows 18 per cent or four million Australians of all ages are riding their bikes each week. In the biggest study of its type ever undertaken in this country, the survey found around 3.6 million people ride for recreation and sport and 1.2 million make a least one transport trip each week. The survey showed that more than ten per cent of Aus-

tralian adults had ridden in the past week and almost 30 per cent in the last year. On average, those ten per cent riding in any week are achieving significant levels of physical activity at an average of 30 minutes a day to meet recommended levels for good health. The Cycling Promotion Fund (www.cyclingpromotion. com.au/) believes this is great news for a healthier Australia.

soap box

Lord. Surely in the time other young people are taking drugs, having sex or masturbating, they’re tucked up in bed with the good book. Why the sudden urge to read the bible on the beach at 10 o’clock on a Wednesday morning? Oh, I get it, because other people can see them. In fact, what is the point in praying unless you get to inflict it on the whole fricking beach? Christians with cameras start taking photos of Christians reading bibles. What for? Are they going to upload it on their version of Facebook? Prayerbook? Imagine the status updates: ‘Read Isaiah at Wategos! POL! (That means Pray Out Loud). Then they start the baptisms. Weddings have to apply to council and pay a fee, but this busload of bible bashers just start inflicting their religious choices on the whole beach. Groovy young tattooed ministers duck fully clothed initiates under the Wategos waves to cleanse them of their sins. I’m hoping that the evil that’s washed off our family infects them. Now I can’t swim because I don’t want to get stinky born-again christian all over me. If you want to baptise your followers at the beach, then don’t choose peak tourist time on the world’s smallest and most popular beach. Go to Tallow. Try Lennox. There’s plenty of remote beaches where the only people you’ll see are surfers, a few fishermen, and some escaped psycho killer jerking off in the bushes. There’s a colossal amount of arrogance thinking it’s okay for 200 people to land in the middle of a crowded public beach and start performing their religious ritual. Clearly we are a country that practises religious tolerance but I can’t help but wonder what the public reaction would be if 200 Muslims turned up, laid out their prayer mats and started praying to Allah. There is nothing wrong with prayer to the god of your choosing. Just don’t do it in my face. Most religions respect the beliefs of others by being discreet. That’s why people have churches, or temples or mosques. I am aware that this ministry of hug-giving, creepy crepe-making youngsters worship publicly so as to seduce other young people into their midst. These people are just like drug dealers, except they deal

Jesus. If you are depressed, or lost, or feeling alienated, these large anomalous groups of Jesus Junkies will swallow you up. You never have to think or feel independently again. While I am strictly agnostic, I have immense respect for all religions, Christians included, but I hate evangelical Christians with a passion. They frighten me. When my father died a group of born-agains moved in on my mother and I spent three years living in the clutches of hands-on healing, tongue-talking Jesus freaks. They gathered in large groups with acoustic guitars and sang songs of praise. They collapsed, they shrieked, they wept. I now know this is the behaviour of brain-washed cult members. Even as a small child I knew that they were the stupidest people on the planet. I once watched a group pray on someone’s broken leg for about three hours, then they cut off the cast to see if he could walk, but the silly dickhead just collapsed and had to be taken back to Emergency who clearly weren’t impressed. It was the second one he’d had on that day. I am convinced that if Jesus were alive today he wouldn’t hang with born-again Christians. He’d be sitting behind me playing the bongos eating a bacon sandwich yelling ‘fuck off’ to the 200 spiritual exhibitionists blocking his view of the ocean. „ ‘In recent times Australian cultural life has become increasingly urban and city-centric. The idea of any small country town being a hotbed of culture and sophistication is dismissed by city folk proud of their cafe culture and committed to the cultural joys of urban living. It is, therefore, a surprise that the country’s sharpest and wittiest comedic columnist lives modestly in northern NSW and writes for the Byron Bay Echo.’ (Excerpt of review for Pick Of The Week), Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald.

Funkin up the Rails

Ireland at The Brewery

CaravĂŁna Sun on a RollÂ

Carola Christian is an incredibly passionate and distinct vocalist with a commanding voice. With a broad range of deep haunting vocals to screaming soprano, Carola has the ability to move her velvety tones through raw sensuality to gutsy power. Her stage presence is sassy with no inhibitions to cut loose. Together with The Dirty Funk Affair they produce a unique sound fusion of rock, soul and pop, with a strong retro vibe succumbing to affairs with Latin and wayward romances with funk‌ creating an eclecticism that makes them hard to categorise. Riffrippled, refreshingly impure and nonconformist at times, but always reflecting the soul with soul inflections. Catch them at The Rails this Friday night for some ‘good times’, 7pm.

After releasing her album Love & Sticky Tape (Vitamin), Rebecca Ireland is gaining a keen following and a lovely assortment of fine musicians to join her in her dynamic and delightful shows. Just back from shows in Melbourne and Brisbane, The Rebecca Ireland Band will be playing a Sunday session at The Byron Brewery, stripping back with Pete Wilkins (drums), Thierry Fossemalle (bass) and Lydia Storey (BVs). From 8pm.

JESUS GOES TO WATEGOS Last week our family enjoyed a beautiful sunny breakfast at Wategos. There’s nothing quite like a freshly cooked bacon-and-egg roll after a swim in the rolling waves of one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, followed by a leisurely relax contemplating the majesty of our coastline. Until it was interrupted by a busload of 200 young people dressed in shorts and t-shirts. There was something slightly unusual about the crowd – they carried cameras, they cart-wheeled, some even clutched skateboards and wore shoes and socks which seemed a little out of kilter with the surrounds. Not one of them rushed into the surf, which was glorious. I whispered to my daughter, ‘What do you think is going on there?’ She swallowed a mouthful of her roll and mumbled ‘Christians’. I was like ‘really? How can you tell?’ Zoe pointed at one of the girls with a bit of bacon and chewed, ‘the girls are wearing boardshorts’. My bacon-munching daughter was more astute than me. All of a sudden the group launched into song, performing a spectacularly public prayer of evangelical worship. Great, I got up early to bring the kids down to the beach for breakfast, and now I can’t see the bloody ocean because of an annoying clump of fricking Christians. I was tempted to gather a group of pagan goat worshippers like myself to assemble farther down the beach to perform some satanic rituals. Hands were waving in the air in Jesusenthused ecstasy, others dropped to their knees and started reading their bibles. Zoe was mildly amused and whispered in my ear ‘they must have waterproof bibles’. It’s not like they don’t have ample time to read the the Word of the

Bohos at the Treehouse Hailing from a freewheeling bohemian tradition that’s rooted in Australia’s rustic heart, Dinkum Bohos are Vasudha Harte and Jem Edwards. The pair have travelled through the country’s deep and dangerous hinterland and the golden beaches of the east coast and have just returned from wowing audiences on the other side of the world with their Australian take on music for runaway romantics. Their ‘musique originale’ features changes of style, mood and instrumentation: trancey love songs on lap steel guitar collide with beat poetry, sassy tangos, gritty blues, wild piano duets, dramatic, sensuous Spanish guitar and lively percussion. Hear their unique brand of anarchic songwriting, Sunday at The Treehouse On Belongil from 7pm.

Yogis and Yoginis Unite The inaugural Byron Spirit Festival presents a diverse program of daytime yoga classes in the myriad beautiful venues of Mullumbimby. From far afield comes the USA-based Mark Whitwell. For more than 20 years his international teachings have been based on the work of T Krishnamacharya and son TKV Desikachar, and have assisted his students to create an individuated, authentic yoga practice. Ashtanga yoga will be on offer from Byron’s own Dena Kingsberg; an international teacher and practitioner for more than 25 years, she was certified by the late Sri K Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, South India in 1996.

s r a t S WITH LILITH With 2012 predicted as either the end of the world or a date of great spiritual transformation, what’s in it for you personally? As this week’s birthday Capricorn Alan Watts observed, valid plans for the future can’t be made by those who have no capacity for living now…

E ARIES: With trailblazing innovator Uranus in Aries initiating a sort of divine wake up call, this year could see expanded understandings produce some dramatic shifts in the way you operate. Best approach? Refusing to bring past battles into the present. Forgiving, learning and starting over. F T AURUS: For the next six months Jupiter instigates a personal journey of self-discovery, surrendering a persona you’ve outgrown so a more authentic version can emerge – who you are now, not who you think you should be. Most helpful mindset: Whenever life hits the spin cycle, slow down. G G EMINI: Last year started you letting go of old baggage, this year continues the cull. Smartest action plan: making peace with your past and putting it into perspective so you can utilise April to August Venus vibes for getting primary relationships on a fresher, more relevant track. H CANCER: Moving on from the past is never easy for Cancerians, but making new connections is essential during the first half of 2012. If midyear Jupiter highlights areas where the balance of power in close relationships is out of alignment, Mars will propel you to take action.

I L EO: In the words of Leo Madonna, 2012 is the year to Express Yourself and move to higher ground, beyond your current comfort zone. Also to totally rejig your finances. Biggest issues: Around leadership (yours and other people’s), your personal power and what has power over you. J V IRGO: For the first half of this year, Mars continues fuelling new career moves and opportunities. For the last half, Jupiter and Saturn get together to liven up your finances. Note to self: If relationships lose that loving feeling, tune into deeper, more intimate and sensitive levels. K L IBRA:The next six months initiates a re-examining and possible reprogramming of your core beliefs as Pluto and Uranus deepen your understanding of your ancestral heritage. Flashpoint: When taskmaster Saturn quits Libra in October you’ll be stronger, more practical and way less affected by family dynamics. L S CORPIO: Your year, like most people’s, comes in two parts: closure and completion, followed by one of your signature phoenix rebirths as your astral destiny point enters Scorpio in August, realigning your life purpose. 2012 diary highlight: March’s potent Venus/Jupiter combo makes it a significant love month.

7

M S AGITTARIUS: April to August you’ve got serious Venus appeal, but after Jupiter’s June move you’ll need to be extremely choosy about how you allocate time, friendship and energy. As the worth of your work becomes clearer, finances gain weight. Memo: If the work/play ratio slips, fix it. N C APRICORN: There’s no escaping self-examination with Pluto making you face your deepest demons before you can access your hidden riches. As Capricorn’s guardian planet Saturn places you in your starring role of teacher/mentor, living situations could change so stay flexible. And don’t forget fun, baby. O A QUARIUS: This year requests a lifestyle reality check. Could revising your relating style achieve more clarity, better communication? Creativity and inspiration are 2012 buzzwords, but they require stillness and receptivity to flourish – also choices that nourish who you are now, not The Person Formerly Known As You. P PISCES: Pisceans are born for spiritual work, and with your planetary captain Neptune moving to Pisces for the next fourteen years you’re unavoidably into the mystic. Best resolve for 2012: Streamline and simplify. Meanwhile, next week Venus arrives in your sign to kick off a promising year…

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Guy Ritchie is a flash director who has an uncanny talent for making impressive movies that aren’t any good – RocknRolla (2008) is an obvious exception. Perhaps it’s time he was tapped on the shoulder and politely told that it is not all about him. Or, in the words of A O Scott of the New York Times, ‘can a movie be hyperactive and lazy at the same time? Clever and idiotic?’ Most certainly it can. Making old entertainments relevant to modern, if not necessarily more discerning audiences is a critical priority for anybody who doesn’t want to do their dough cold, but Ritchie’s speedfreak adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories blasts the whodunnit intrigue out of the famous detective’s investigations. Apart from being too short for the part, Robert Downey as Holmes swans through

designed to set up the next round of flamboyant fisticuffs. NB – I saw this at Sydney’s Verona only hours after watching Michael Clarke amass 329 not out against the Indians. By comparison, with its stupefying brashness and mindless machismo, the film quickly became a thundering bore. ~ John Campbell

the shebang on auto-pilot, his roguish charisma wearing thin at an early stage, while Jude Law likewise opts for caricature in his too-swashbuckling portrayal of Doctor Watson. Both men are clearly happy to be pocketing their substantial wages but they fail miserably at creating the genuine warmth that is so engaging in the better buddy flicks (the bar set by Butch and Sundance is way beyond them). As I did in the first instalment of what threatens to be a long and tedious franchise, I wondered what might have been had the roles been reversed – physically it would certainly have been more convincing. The criminal genius Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) is involved in fomenting war in Europe, but the subtlety and fiendish scheming that underpins his adversarial relationship with Holmes is buried beneath layer upon layer of show-offy CGI. Worst of all is the constant brawling, with every turn in the plot apparently

The Adventures of Tintin I’d be surprised if Tintin, Hergé’s young Belgian reporter, had much of a readership in Australia. The graphic novels (of which I boast no great knowledge) have always seemed Euro-quaint in a way that might never cater to the West’s fondness for butch masculinity – I mean, the bloke has no girl and is accompanied on his adventures by a little white dog, for gawd’s sake! But with Steven Spielberg at the helm and Peter Jackson producing (he will direct the sequel), a box-office juggernaut is assured. Kicking off at a Brussels in what looks like the 1950s (everybody speaks English), Tintin buys the model of an old sail-ship in which has been hidden a mysterious torn sheet from a manuscript that will lead to pots of seventeenth century gold. The search for the missing segments of the manuscript, while they are being pursued by villains, takes Tintin and Snowy, his delightful mutt, on to the open seas, where they are befriended by Captain Haddock, an alcoholic Scottish tar, and thence to the postcard kingdom of Morocco, via an encounter with soldiers of the French Foreign Legion (who, thankfully, haven’t changed since the days of Abbott and Costello). Technically, the film has been shot in ‘motion capture’, a digital process that creates images more convincing than conventional animation without being totally lumbered by reality – it’s the ultimate trick of the fantasist. The result is so visually intoxicating that the plot’s twists and turns are of only secondary interest.

You can analyse it all you like, dissect it to within an inch of its life while determining whether it is offensive or acceptable, but when it comes down to it, our response to humour is entirely involuntary. So it is with some embarrassment that I make my confession – I laughed like a drain throughout this rude, crude but deliriously truthful comedy. Based on the TV show of the same name, it’s about four boys and what they get up to in their English ‘schoolies’ week. Jay the spiv (James Buckley), Will the nerd (Simon Bird), randy Neil (Blake Harrison) and lovelorn Simon (Joe Thomas) head off to Malia, a ghastly resort in Crete, decked out in their Pussay Patrol T-shirts, with the aim of getting plastered and laid. From the minute that the bus drops them at their run-down hotel, the excursion turns pear shaped. Why this movie is immeasurably superior to the loathsome Hangover 2 and the despicably dumb ‘Bridesmaids’ is difficult to ascertain – the language is unrelentingly coarse and some of the sight gags really do go beyond the pale (the poo in the bidet is as disturbing as it is hilarious) – but I think it might have something to do with the boys themselves.

that I had tears running down my face (jeez it felt good) – and the story evolves from that encounter. But for all its riotous vulgarity, there are moments of quiet authenticity when Jay cries after being bullied and Simon finally frees himself from the spell of his ex-girlfriend. Sustained by genuine heart and, ultimately, the need to love and be loved, for mine, this is the funniest comedy

The character of Tintin himself (voiced by Jamie Bell), a boy-man, is a bit of a blank, but Haddock (Andy Serkis) is fully engaging and Snowy – well, for mine he’s the star of the movie. A minute more would have been too many; John Williams’s score pounds the listener to the point of exhaustion and so rapidly does the action move from one crisis to the next that you just don’t get time to catch your breath, but otherwise it is impossible not to be enchanted by the exquisite imagery. ~ John Campbell

With not a hint of the contrived crassness or ill-concealed vanity of the Americans, they come across as entirely natural, not made up. Their foolishness is instantly recognisable. Gravitating to the most uncool bar in town, they see four ladettes on a similar jaunt and decide to crack on to them on the dance floor – I laughed so much at their routine

1. Sophie Lowe stars as the Kate in question in the Australian film Beautiful Kate (NBN, Saturday, 9.30pm), alongside other notable actors Rachel Griffiths, Ben Mendelsohn and Bryan Brown. Director Rachel Ward adapted the script from a 1982 novel of the same name by Newton Thornburg. The film was shot on location in the Flinders Ranges. A writer, Ned Kendall (Mendelsohn), is returning to the remote and isolated family home inhabited by his sister Sally (Griffiths), to say goodbye to his father, Bruce (Brown), who is dying. Memories of his sister Kate arise. 2. Another Australian film, Balibo (ABC1, Sunday, 8.30pm), features Anthony LaPaglia as the journalist investigating the deaths of the Balibo Five, Australian journalists who were killed in the 1975 Indonesian invasion of East Timor. It highlights another shameful instance of the Australian government failing to properly investigate atrocity on behalf of its own citizens.

PLEASE NOTE The Echo takes great care producing this guide, but unfortunately TV stations like to tinker with things at the last minute and sometimes make changes after we have gone to print. Channel 9 (NBN, Gem and Go!) is the worst offender – they frequently change their prime-time movies and other shows just before screening, and Channel 7 (Prime7, 7two and 7mate) is not much better.

Supersizing at Costco Victoria Cosford It was to be one of my Canberra Christmas highlights. My sister had promised, for the purchase of our festive lunch ingredients, to take me to Costco. And in the light of what was to come it was an even better idea, if only for purposes of comparison, to preface that with the Fyshwick markets, whose early morning queues at that time of year for seafood were legendary. Glorious markets – dazzlingly heaped displays of fruit and vegetables, warm bread perfuming the air, the frenetic milling around takeaway coffee outlets, meltingly ripe bries outside delis smeared on to crackers for sampling – nothing will ever beat this sort of market, in which the world increasingly proliferates, to our good fortune. Even if the fortyminute shuffle toward the eventual prize of a ticket to be served seafood resulted in the disappointing news that the bugs had sold out by 6am, we still came away clutching fat tiger prawns. And then on to Costco, out near the airport. All my sister had really mentioned was that it was about supersizes: the quantities sold; the people who bought. Indeed as we crossed the massive expanse of car park toward the building I was struck by very fat people whose girths were camouflaged by the width of the shopping trolleys. Even the shopping trolleys are huge! The Canberra Costco opened in July last year, the third one in Australia – although according to the Courier Mail, which cited Costco advertising for store managers, a Brisbane one beckons. In nine countries there are 560 Costcos. What, then, is Costco? It is the largest warehouse club chain in the US, a bulk retail outlet, the mother of all supermarkets. I was expecting something similar to a place called the Metro outside Florence in Italy where restaurateurs and store-holders shop to stock up on absolutely everything, all of it coming in vast quantities or huge sizes, and I was not

disappointed. Except that Costco is available not only to businesses but also to the average shopper, for a small membership fee of $60 a year. In return what you get is not only scale but also extremely low prices. (God, that half kilo block of Triple Creme we tossed blithely into our trolley only cost about $14.) Costco was launched in California by two brothers who called it Price Club; it was in a warehouse and for business shoppers only. After three years it had 17 locations and 1.3 million members. Typically, what it sells is bulk-packaged; customers must supply their own carrier bags; most products are delivered to the warehouses on shipping pallets which are then used to display them, thereby saving on shelving. Skylights, monitored by electronic light meters, ensure that lighting costs are kept down. Fresh produce – meat, dairy, seafood, baked goods (pizzas, cakes), flowers, clothing, books, computer software, fine wines, jewellery, home appliances, art, furniture – you can get it all at Costco. Everything. And there I was – enamoured of farmers markets and locally-sourced acquisitions, fiercely loyal to concepts like food miles and low-carbon footprints and shopping seasonally and specialised stores, sensitive to issues like the destruction of town centres as a result of out-of-town megaplexes, and factory workers in poorer countries working long hours for minuscule wages in order to keep prices low for western consumers – there I was in Costco and I might have been in heaven. I offer no apology, and I was certainly not alone, judging by the swarms and swarms of other worshippers, wielding their large trolleys from wide aisle to wide aisle. The half-side of fresh, filleted Atlantic salmon we later feasted on, charred from the grill, was, I hate to say, every bit as superb as were the tiger prawns from Fyshwick market.

Sachin misses out as Puppy love scores at the SCG

John Campbell

We’d all come to the hundredth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground to see the demi-god, Sachin Tendulkar, score his hundredth international hundred. Destiny awaited. The bass riff of Icehouse’s Great Southern Land drifted away into the terraced streets of genteel Paddington as M S Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat. India’s supporters went berko. It meant that we would almost certainly see Tendulkar at the wicket that day. Gambir edged and was caught third ball. Stodgy Dravid departed soon after, leaving the tourists at 2/30. The stage was set. Tendulkar emerged from the shadows of the Members’ Stand to a standing ovation. Poor bugger, I thought. How

Australia’s captain, M J Clarke, drives to the boundary on his way to a massive 329 not out.

could he not be weighed down by his own aura, by the heavy burden of expectation. He was still there at lunch, batting with calm resolve and

flashes of brilliance. If he can find a partner to stay with him he’ll get his ton for sure, nobody doubted it. But on 41 his stars went out of alignment.

Sport when the states align… A framework has recently been released to provide a nationally consistent approach for Australia’s sport and recreation system. The National Sport and Active Recreational Policy Framework was developed by Commonwealth, state and territory government departments responsible for sport and recreation, with feedback provided by a range of national sporting organisations, active

recreation organisations and peak bodies. The Framework provides a guide for the development and alignment of policies, strategies and programs by governments within their own jurisdictions in pursuit of a high performing sport and active recreation system that delivers: increased participation; success in international competition; strong national sporting competition; and contributes

Young firebrand James Pattinson bowled him, to the accompaniment of a collective gasp from the outer. The Swami Army’s drums were silenced. Australia embarked on its pursuit of India’s paltry score with now typical ineptitude. Our top order was gone in a trice and suddenly 191 was miles away. None of us had any inkling of what was coming. The ageing champion, R S Ponting, refusing to go gently into that good night of retirement aboard the Channel Nine gravy train, set about restoring the innings. At the other end stood Punter’s successor as captain, M J Clarke, the social pages’ tattoo’d fancy pants to whom the mob had steadfastly refused to warm. Batting to prolong his career, it was pugilistic Ponting, with the hairy forearms of a mer-

chant mariner, who held our attention. By lunch on Day 2 he had progressed to 97 and the crowd was willing the old bloke to get the three runs that would spit in the eye of Time’s cruel proscriptions. That Clarke had attained 103 was almost incidental. A near-suicidal single after the break saw Ponting reach his ton. The reception was staggering. Big love swept across the ground. Sport has primal moments like this that can’t be matched in other endeavours. Even the pistol-slinging coppers stood and cheered. India, under the pump, became a rabble. Sensing his opponents’ disarray, and to remind us all that he was still there, Clarke imperiously smashed the spinner Ashwin back over his head for six. Get that into ya.

Ponting’s fall merely resulted in Hussey continuing the carnage, as we belatedly realised that the Pup from Sydney’s West was on his way to something special. On and on Clarke batted until, on Day 3, under a grey sky and with everybody decked out in pink for the Jane McGrath Foundation, he classically drove Sharma to the boundary. He was not out 303. Then it happened. ‘Claaarkey, Claaar-key, Claaar- key.’ The beery, deep-throated chant went up. It had taken a triple century on his home ground, but Pup had at last won over the great unwashed. That he would dismiss Tendulkar in India’s second dig was only inevitable. Sachin’s century would have to wait. This SCG Test belonged to M J Clarke.

Classes will run on Tuesdays 12pm to 4pm for 4 hours a week for 18 weeks, commencing 7 February to 19 June 2012. Phone Ballina Campus on 6681 8900 for an application package.

Meet Leni, a rather unusual brown and grey domestic long hair. She is just 4 years old and very affectionate. Leni was surrendered when her owner went overseas and is anxious to find a new loving family. She requires daily brushing and would suit a household with no other pets. Come and meet Leni at the Cat Adoption Centre, 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby. Open Tues. 9–11, Thurs. 3–5pm and Sat. 10–12noon or phone AWL on 6684 4070.

Miss Daisy (and mirror image Oreo), are looking everywhere for a human friend. Both black and white and about 10 weeks old. Extremely affectionate and delightfully playful. If you want to feel young (or younger!) again, then spend time with these characters. The smile will stay on your face for hours. And don’t forget the older cats in the shelter who sit and wait quietly in the background. All cats desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.

Visitors thinking of indulging in a mushroom trip, please be sure you have local guides to the correct variety. A Canberra chef and a diner recently died from liver failure after the ingestion of Death Cap mushrooms by mistake. The Death Cap is not endemic to this region but the Gold Top is not for the faint-hearted either. ‘In 1971, a noted physician wrote that “Over the years, the Southport Hospital on the Gold Coast has had a steady flow of accidental poisonings with Psilocybe cubensis (McCarthy, 1971). A good example occurred in 1969 when a whole family was affected after a picnic somewhere in the mountains.” No mention is made as to the exact location where this incident took place. Symptoms from this intoxication included “...Euphoria, depression, inappropriate speech and answers, visual hallucinations, ataxia, vomiting, urinary incontinence, diarrhoea, dry mouth, and dilated pupils, and a respectable family man was caused to run naked through the hospital, trying to molest the nurses who were attempting to treat his illness”.’ – from Magic Mushrooms of Australia and New Zealand by John W Allen.
