Dog weather week

Wilsons Creek road slip could cut off valley Heavy rain has washed away a section of road near the Wilsons Creek primary school, and the real concern is that the remainder of the road may also go. Council traffic controllers are on site 24 hours a day, and Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure Phil Holloway said repair work as already underway. ‘The repair works will take at least two weeks and is dependent on the weather,’ he told The Echo. ‘At this stage the region has not been declared a natural disaster and therefore all costs will be worn by Council.’ The road is open to one lane and light traffic only. Mr Holloway said the repair works and estimated costs will be reported to Council as soon as possible. The school bus will be picking up on eastern side of the road near the Wilsons Creek Public School. Traffic controllers will assist with school children and walk them from one side to the other when needed.

come from other regions to assist and should the weather turn again we are in a better position to respond as required,’ he said.

Calls for help The State Emergency Service says it received more than 500 calls for assistance on the north coast since flooding started earlier in the week, mostly in the Tweed. The SES has conducted at least 42 flood rescues in the region. Most involved people trapped in their cars by floodwater, including one at Lismore and one at Mullumbimby. People seeking emergency assistance during a flood or storm should still call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500.

Short-term fishing closures for Richmond For the latest information on major roads visit the live traffic website at http://livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au. For local road flood information go to http://www.myroadinfo.com.au. NSW Department of Primary In-

dustries (NSW DPI) has declared short-term fishing closures for ocean waters off seven north coast rivers to protect fish and small prawns displaced by flooding. ‘The closures, which were introduced last Friday, prohibit prawn trawling in ocean waters off the mouths of the Richmond, Evans, Clarence, Bellinger, Nambucca, Macleay and Hastings Rivers,’ said NSW DPI director Commercial Fisheries Andrew Goulstone. The closures will run for two weeks until February 11 – except for the Bellinger where there is a three week closure until 18 February. Detailed information on the fishing closures is available at www.dpi.nsw. gov.au or by calling (02) 9527 8502.

Govt slammed Shadow special minister of state Steve Whan has called the O’Farrell government’s lack of response to the flooding a ‘baffling display of sloppiness’. He says the initial damage bill totals is at least $7 million and will climb further as water recedes from roads and bridges.

There has also been damage to Main Arm Road and causeways. Council crews are currently out undertaking repair work where possible and cleaning up debris. Mr Holloway urged all motorists to drive to the road conditions and take notice of all signs. Any road damage should be reported to Council on 6626 9300. As people begin to mop up in the aftermath of the worst floods the region has seen for several years, the prospect is that more rain may be on the way. David Chambers, incident controller at Richmond-Tweed SES, told The Echo that all evacuation orders have been removed and people are safe to return to their properties, provided safe access is available. ‘The SES has people who have The landslip at Wilsons Creek.

Bruns hit by a spate of robberies Eve Jeffery

Though police say it is not a crime wave, Brunswick Heads has had more than its fair share of break and enters in recent weeks. Part owner of the Sandbar restaurant Rachael Smith says that they have been robbed twice in two months. ‘The first time they took our till, which had nothing in it, but they smashed it up anyway, and it was just days after we spent $200 on replacement parts’, she says. ‘This time, however, they got lucky. They stole our till drawer which had a $250 float in it. I

hope they have fun spending it because we are certainly not having fun replacing it.’ As well as Sandbar, several other eateries have been the target of theft as has a surf shop and a hairdresser, but the biggest loss has been laptops and IT gear that was stolen from the primary school last week.

Lack of police presence Just last Saturday morning, trespassers entered the Brunswick Fitness Centre through a ground-floor rear window into a dressing room. Nothing was taken or tampered with, how-

ever, say police. Ms Smith says that she has heard of one cafe which has been broken into six times in six weeks and she knows of three other businesses that have also been victims of what she calls a crime wave. ‘I think the root of the problem is lack of police presence in Brunswick Heads’, she says. ‘There is no patrol car that monitors the streets late at night and the police station is never open if anyone wishes to report a crime or experiences any trouble. Instead we are redirected to Byron police station. Without police in the town it is a playground for petty criminals and

opportunists alike – and it is not fair on the people, residents and business owners who have to put up with this threat. ‘Meanwhile we are thinking about how we can afford the several thousand dollars for a new alarm system and will have realised the error of our trusting ways. Never will we keep cash on the premises again’. Tweed Heads LAC acting duty officer Leanne Edmonds said that though it didn’t appear to be a spree, resident and business owners were encourage to keep doors and windows locked and to report suspicious activity to the police or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

The body that makes the decisions is ineffectual and pointless if it doesn’t at least stop a few developments like this.’ He added it’s also a concern that more corporations are moving into the town.

Shires combine to reduce plastic bags Both Lennox Head and Byron Bay are currently running campaigns pushing for the reduction of plastic bags from retailers. Lennox Head Chamber of Commerce president Louise Owen told The Echo, ‘Most of the locals are on board,’ however, tourists usually don’t think to bring their own bags. ‘The Chamber also doesn’t support biodegradable bags; they don’t break down any faster, and both can do damage to marine life.’ Ms Owen says that Lennox businesses Riley Burnett and Pure Pod are now plastic bag free, and she is hoping the IGA supermarket, the biggest user of plastic bags in the town, will also

consider a reduction. Lennox Head IGA store manager Rachel O’Connor told The Echo she was unable to comment on the issue.

Plastic free checkout Byron Bay Super IGA, however, introduced a plastic-free checkout for shoppers last week. Manager Peter Chounding told The Echo that the store had also installed energy-saving LED lights and replaced its compressors. ‘It has reduced CO2 by about 30 tonnes per month,’ he said. ‘We’ve always recycled our plastic and cardboard, and always had a wheelie bin for recycled plastic bags, as well as cardboard boxes.’ The announcement will

hopefully put more pressure on other businesses to offer bag alternatives. The shops on board also provide a donation tin to help Australian Seabird Rescue with marine life and birds affected by plastic bags. ‘Although not a storewide initiative, this is certainly a step in the right direction with IGA Byron Bay committing to a plastic-bag-free aisle,’ said campaign spokesperson Trude Helm. Woolworths did not respond to its Byron Bay plastic bag policy before going to press; however, their website says, ‘you’ll find a plastic-bag recycling bin at the front of most Woolworths/Safeway stores.’ Meanwhile Ballina councillor Jeff Johnson recently moved

two motions that seek to reduce plastic consumption in the Ballina Shire, and the whole of NSW in general. ‘One seeks a ban on the single-use plastic bags,’ he says, ‘the other is calling for a container deposit scheme to be introduced in NSW. ‘Furthermore, Ballina Council will also now be taking these motions to the NSW Shires Division A Conference that is being held in South West Rocks in March.’ He added that it is great that fellow councillors unanimously supported the motions and agreed to take them to the shires’ conference to increase the pressure on the NSW government to implement these changes.

Councillors to fight Bruns boarding house plan Luis Feliu

Byron Shire Council will defend its refusal last year of the planned re-development of the Brunswick Heads gym and squash centre into a 34-unit boarding house, in what could be a test case for a controversial state policy on affordable rental housing. The owners of the Teven Street property, Murray and Julia Stebbing, lodged an appeal in the Land and Environment Court late last year against the council-

lors’ 8–1 decision last June. The refusal supported a campaign by residents who saw it as a major overdevelopment of the site which would have ruined the character of the village and amenity. But staff had recommended approving the change of use of the 30-year-old gym, squash courts and indoor swimming pool centre into a boarding house under a policy introduced two years ago by the former Labor government to boost affordable rental housing.

Mayor Jan Barham said the policy, which gives developers concessions such as fewer parking spaces and smaller room sizes to encourage affordable rental housing, was designed more for high-density metropolitan areas rather than regional centres. In May last year, planning minister Brad Hazzard called for an immediate halt to new DAs under the policy and instigated a review of the laws, which he has described as ‘a backdoor deal for small-time developers to make a fast buck’.

Cr Ross Tucker, who was the only councillor who supported the redevelopment, said the court case would be costly and that council planning staff ‘cannot defend this decision because their professional opinion was to grant consent’. But other councillors disagreed, saying even though they supported affordable rental housing, the Teven Street proposal went too far and could set a precedent for an unacceptable level of density which could destroy the village’s character.

Ballina’s library takeover by Lismore causes division Liberal MLC Catherine Cusack has backed Ballina Shire Greens councillor Jeff Johnson’s attack on his fellow councillors over the fate of the shire’s libraries, which along with Byron and Tweed libraries have been taken over by Lismore City Council. Last week Jeff Johnson said in a statement, ‘It is quite disconcerting that various informed people, including Martin Field,

the previous library manager, and Catherine Cusack MLC, who drafted the recent changes to the library act, strongly disagree with the information provided to councillors by Ballina Council staff.’ ‘Unfortunately the majority (5–4) of Ballina councillors voted to stick with the administration model run by Lismore, despite the conflicting information and uncertainty surround-

ing the cost effectiveness of the way Lismore is handling it,’ he added. On the weekend Ms Cusack went one step further, calling for all five councillors who voted in support of the library measure to resign. Mayor Phillip Silver, who endorsed the measure, was one of those she demanded step down. In local media on Saturday she claimed they were ‘out of

their depth’ and ‘totally oblivious to what everyone is telling them’. The Richmond Tweed Regional Library Service was run by a committee until 2010, at which time Lismore (which was the leading council in the service) sacked the committee and took over running the service itself. Ms Cusack has called for a meeting on February 6 in Byron Bay to discuss the issue.

Tracking east coast storm cycles Simeon MichaelsÂ

Storm damage and coastal erosion are hotly debated topics in Byron Shire, and while opinions abound, few of the historical facts are known. Here are just a few: since first surveyed in 1828, the Shire’s beachfronts have moved roughly 350 metres further inland. Roads and railways have been swallowed by the sea. Standing atop Cape Byron in the 1800s, one could see a sand spit extending out from Little Wategos almost a third of the way to Julian Rocks. Further inland, the majority of what is now Byron’s CBD was simply marked ‘swamp.’ It’s all part of a study by local resident and one of Australia’s leading storm researchers, Dr Peter Helman. Dr Helman’s doctoral research is entitled Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1788–2008. It’s the fruits of three years of labour and details every documented instance of severe weather to hit the east coast of mainland Australia. Â

In 230 years of storm data, Dr Helman began to see a pattern. With some exceptions, he claims the period since European settlement has witnessed a series of 20–30-year phases of severe storm activity, followed by 20–30 years of relatively calm, dry weather. In high-energy periods, the coastline was devastated by severe storms. In the calm years that followed, the coastline gradually recovered as sand returned to the shores. Is there a scientific explanation for this cycle? The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), aka the El Nino effect, is measured by the difference in temperature across the Pacific. Its effects on weather are well understood, but it is a two- o seven-year cycle, and doesn’t explain the longer-term trends that Dr Helman observed. In 1997, however, the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) was noticed by Steven R Hare. It measures a temperature rise across the entire Pacific. It’s a 20–30-year cycle which may provide an explanation for Helman’s storm cycles. Says Dr Helman, ‘When

Pictured is the Wollongbar II in 1924 from Peter Duke’s book, Byron Bay: The History, Beauty and Spirit, which is available at www.byronbaybook.com. The Wreck is the remains of the SS Wollongbar which ran aground in severe storms in 1921.

the entire Pacific warms, two things happen. Firstly, cyclones get their energy from heat on the sea surface, so we get more storms. Secondly, water expands when heated, so higher sea temperatures also mean higher sea levels. ‘This is a double whammy – bigger storms, and when they come ashore, they have a lot more water behind them.’ Â

When the IPO crossed into its cool phase in 1895, a period of general coastal calm followed, while inland, rains failed in the federation and WWI droughts. Bucking the trend, 1899 saw the only category-five storm ever recorded on the east coast, causing 350 fatalities. The IPO’s warm cycle between 1908 and the early 1920s

Dr Helman says since European settlement, there has been 20–30 year phases of severe storm activity, followed by 20–30 years of relatively calm, dry weather. The crossover to the stormy phase started in 2006. Helman believes this cycle started in the 1860s. When the peak of the IPO cycle coincided with a strong La Nina episode, the result was ‘The Storm Year’ of 1864. In that year, two tropical cyclones and eight severe winter storms wrecked 43 ships, washed away the Stone Jetty at Cleveland Point and saw the Maryborough River burst 8.2 metres over its banks. It was also the storm that gave Tallow Beach its name, as ‘Schooner Volunteer capsized and was blown onto rocks‌ 114 casks of tallow was strewn across beach south and north of Cape Byron.’ This freaky period continued to 1866, with one of the biggest storms ever recorded raging from Elliot Island to southern Victoria, wrecking 35 ships. The result of these devastating years was neatly summarised in police records of 1864. ‘Constable Henderson travelled from Ballina to Tweed with ‘not a single habitation to be seen at or near Byron Bay.’ Â

never really got cooking, though it did dish up an east coast low in 1921 which swept SS Wollongbar up onto the beach. As a result of anomalous events such as these, a raging scientific controversy surrounds the IPO: Why do temperatures in the Pacific oscillate? Is the phenomenon connected to, or distinct from, the El Nino cycle? Is the IPO relevant to forecasting at all?  The most recent warm phase in the IPO began in 1945 with double peaks in the mid 50s and 70s. In this phase the local correlation between the IPO and severe storms is at its strongest. In February 1954, a severe tropical cyclone left its usual habitat in northern Queensland and headed south. Coming ashore at the Gold Coast, the storm deposited boats in tree-tops and buried the highway at Kirra under two metres of water before heading south. The storm’s eye sat over the Condong sugar mill north of Murwillumbah for

two hours before smacking Lismore. Springbrook received 900 mm of rain in 24 hours. Houses were blown apart at Cudgen. Lismore flood waters were 11km wide. The outer 180m was knocked off the Byron Jetty. Twenty-eight people lost their lives. It was ‘the worst storm in living memory.’  In 1974, during the second peak of the IPO cycle, storms tore chunks out of the coastline, including the carpark and surf club at Main Beach, while 20 housing lots were washed away near New Brighton. In 1978, the IPO changed phase back into a 30-year cool cycle. Byron has enjoyed relatively calm, sunny conditions ever since. This, says Dr Helman, is the core of the problem. ‘If you’re a fisherman, farmer or property developer, 30-years is your career. Our entire picture of this coastline has been formed while the IPO has been in a low-energy cycle.’ Some would see Dr Helman’s research as support for constructing breakwalls in front of storm-endangered property. According to Dr Helman, this is nonsense. ‘You can’t just choose to protect certain properties because the people there are most vocal. A storm which takes houses at Belongil will do similar damage at Lennox Head, Suffolk Park, New Brighton and all down the east coast. Financially and environmentally, we can’t afford to protect everything from the sea. ‘Since the first survey of Byron, 30 surveyed properties have been lost. It’s part of life on the coast.’ If Dr Helman is right, a warm phase in the IPO is the x-factor which, in conjunction with a strong La Nina and a high-tide could turn the next storm into a monster. If Dr Helman is wrong, his data nevertheless tell us that storms more severe than any in living memory do occur along this coastline, and we’re overdue for one. Helman makes a final point: ‘In the past coastal erosion has been slowed by sand returning to the beaches during calm periods. In the last 30 years, sand has not returned to the coast. This is due to climate change.’ The IPO crossed over into its high-energy phase in 2006.Â

Bangalow community works together for pool solutions

GREEN GARAGE Byron Shire’s premium fresh and local food store

Christobel Munson

The community forum planned for Tuesday February 7 is stirring up emotions for local residents aged nine to 90 years as solutions for Bangalow’s creek pool are sought. A group of kids calling themselves the Ninjas have been putting out their message to ‘save the pool’ up and down Bangalow’s main street, scrawling their slogans on pieces of cardboard or chalking them on the footpath, desperate to be heard. At the other end of the age-scale, 90-year-old Russell Blanch, who has lived all his life in Bangalow, reflected on when the creek swimming pool was the place every child in town used to hang out. ‘We had three-day-long swimming carnivals at the pool, with dancing on a sprung floor in the park in the evenings, with diving exhibitions from a 10-metre high diving tower, and a huge slippery dip. ‘The place used to be called The Waterfront, and everyone would be there.’ When the pool was opened in 1924, the entire town, including a brass band, came out for a procession through town. It has been a focal point for the social life of Bangalow ever since. Over many decades, thousands of local children were taught to swim by local swimming and diving champion, Bruce Beckinsale. His daughter Lyn Smith viv-

idly remembers the hard work it took for the Bangalow community to build the pool, and the maintenance it needed. ‘I remember when the concrete walls were built,’ Lyn says. ‘There were so many truckloads of concrete, and anyone who had any bits of reo, or even iron beds, threw them in to help strengthen the walls. They’re solid alright.’ Today, the weir spillway is cracked, but still standing, despite days of flooding. Three community groups are working together to organise the February 7 event: The Bangalow Historical Society, the Bangalow Land and Rivercare Group, and the Bangalow Community Alliance. Their aim for the forum is to provide a structured environment where the community can hear all points of view on

the current situation. These will include representatives speaking on heritage and social values, environmental concerns such as the displacement of platypus families, engineering issues, plus the governance perspective from the Fisheries department and Rous Water. It is the intention of the organising team that the forum will identify the major issues and priorities involved. MC for the night Mick O’Regan said, ‘We’re hoping that an action-oriented outcome will be the result of the forum, in which all parties involved will come to understand the urgent need to deal with a situation which has been ignored for too long.’ The forum will be held at the Bangalow Anglican Church Hall Tuesday February 7 from 6pm.

by Mungo MacCallum what they have in the past: escort the boats to Christmas Island, arrest the crew and deliver the asylum seekers for detention and eventual processing, knowing that about nine out of ten of them will be found to be genuine refuges and therefore entitled to protection under international law. Abbott says that he would expect the navy to obey orders – the boats are to be turned back, no ifs and no buts. Sailors who refused to cooperate would presumably lay themselves open to a charge of mutiny against the Australian government, which might be better than being charged with breaking international law and possible crimes against humanity, for which, as we have known since Nuremberg, ‘I was only obeying orders’ is no defence. The policy has been condemned by naval personnel, lawyers and foreign affairs experts, who have warned that apart from its dangers and illegalities, it would irrevocably sour Australia’s always delicate

naval chief Chris Barrie as both illegal and unworkable, and denounced by others as silly, callous and possibly homicidal. So how did Abbott come up with it and why does he persist with it? Well, simply to show he’s hairy-chested; he has balls while Julia Gillard self-evidently does not. Note the timing; when Abbott announced his brainwave, Morrison was supposedly in discussion with Gillard’s immigration minister, Chris Bowen, to try to find a compromise which would allow off-shore processing of asylum seekers – the policy supposedly espoused by both sides – to be implemented. Bowen was indeed prepared to compromise; he offered to reopen Nauru, in spite of advice that it would not act as an effective deterrent to the people smugglers a second time around, and of what (he revealed later) were exorbitant cost estimates for refurbishing Q See Mungo live at and running the place. He even suggested resurrecting the cruel and inhumane de- www.echonetdaily.net.au

vice of Temporary Protection Visas, the form of psychological torture whereby even those found to be genuine refugees were prevented from enjoying the rights of normal citizens for indefinite periods. Bowen put TPVs on the table even though they had proved to have disastrous unexpected consequences: those unable to seek reunion with their families, or even overseas visiting rights, persuaded wives and children to follow them through the asylum seeker route, adding greatly to the numbers risking their lives on the voyage. Bowen was prepared to take on policies which he knew to be at best pointless and at worst positively dangerous in the cause of bipartisanship. Morrison, however, was prepared to concede nothing: Abbott’s way or no way. He knew Bowen could not and would not surrender totally, and was therefore content to let the impasse continue and blame the government. But since that made him look both stubborn and cynical, and reinforced the general feeling that the opposition was so obsessed by the thought of power that it had forgotten policy altogether, Abbott decided that he had to do produce something positive – anything to prove that he was not really the black hole of negativity the government was successfully portraying. So Stop the Boats! morphed into Turn Back the Boats! with no serious thought of either context or consequences. Illegal, unworkable, silly, callous and possibly homicidal; also thoroughly nasty at every level. But not negative – no-one can accuse him of that. Action Man is back. Or should that be Stupefaction Man?

Given that the Indonesians have stated bluntly that they are happy to take back their own crew members but they regard the asylum seekers as Australia’s responsibility, this will presumably leave the hapless victims to drift until they founder. Since they are unlikely to accept that outcome, the Australians will be faced with a choice: continue to repel them in accordance with Abbott’s policy, risking sabotage, mayhem and the inevitable loss of life, or do

The ideological battle a festival site can provoke I am dismayed with the lack of balance in the public discussion over the Yelgun events site. There is ample evidence that a deliberate and unfettered campaign of misinformation and lies is well underway. Basing any argument on myths and fallacy is both dangerous and unwise: our society will crumble, doofs every night, decimation of wildlife, crime waves, traffic chaos, sewerage overload, waste management crisis – all demonstrable nonsense. I read the (Planning NSW) Director General’s Environmental Assessment report and the site concept plan and discovered an astonishing complexity and attention to detail in every facet of the proposal. More importantly, the project develops in phases based on definite criteria defined as Key Performance Indicators which must be met in order for the project to reach its maximum capacity – a capacity the alarmists would have us wrongly believe begins with multiple 50,000-person events per year. Importantly, these KPIs include ongoing environmental monitoring and event impact assessment.

Q

There is no doubt of the economic benefit festivals bring to the region. An estimated $21m per annum just in the present format alone. This sum is not pocketed solely by a greedy promoter; some 200 jobs will be created in a region with high unemployment, $100,000 per annum gifted to community groups, a conference and cultural centre to name but a few ongoing economic and cultural benefits. I thought it prudent to poll the Woodford community to discover any horror stories surrounding the relocation of the Splendour in the Grass Festival to that region. I found none. After a long discussion with the councillor for Woodford, and other members of this small community, it became obvious why his council and the majority of the wider community wanted Splendour to stay – the benefits far outweighed the costs. We should not forget that after considering objections our local council gave approval for a trial DA for Splendour, defeated as it was by a minor legal technicality largely responsible for kicking the approval process up to the state level.

the Commission before they make the final determination on this state significant application. Each speaker is allotted five minutes and the PAC organisers are hoping to cram in a mind-numbing ten speakers per hour, with tea and meal breaks every two hours, optimistically hoping to wrap up around 6.30pm in Byron and 8.30pm at Ocean Shores. This epic not-to-be-missed public talkfest is an ideological battle between ethics and economics, with the debate neatly divided between those defending biodiversity and the social amenity of existing residents and wildlife populations vs the supporters and beneficiaries of a mega-event site at Yelgun. The DPI report is the contentious focus of public debate. The report makes recommendations on eight key issues including the scale and frequency of events, noise and acoustic impacts, ecological impacts, flooding and bushfire evacuation, traffic, access and parking issues, and proposed major infrastructure including an onsite sewerage treatment plant, significant roadworks including the Jones Road underpass, an

administration building, cultural and conference centre and waste recycling centre. The DPI recommendations and range of proposed ‘conditions’ offer highly debatable ‘solutions’ to very real problems and will inevitably be torn to shreds by opponents and lauded loudly by supporters. PAC must sift the evident truth from the spin and outright bullshit and decide whether effective solutions are achievable or negotiable. It’s rather auspicious the commission has the opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of heavy rain, flooding and stormwater runoff on the Shire’s low-lying floodplains. What impact 13 solid hours of repetitive arguments over two days will have on the Commission is also debatable, but this is the last chance for the local community to muster their persuasive powers. Let’s try for Pythonesque so we can savour the irony, the wit, the passion and commitment and remain naively confident in this fundamental democratic process.

Vaccination research Correspondent Holm in his letter in the January 24 Echo condemning the vaccination of children urges parents to ‘do your research first’. The generally accepted definition (eg the Macquarie Dictionary) of research is the ‘diligent and systematic enquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover the facts or principles’. Holm and his ilk appear to get their ‘information’ from an array of blogs which have circular references to each other. There is never any reference to source documents, mainly because I suspect there are not any. Holm states: ‘Dr Robert Bell, formerly vice-president of the International Society for Cancer Research at the British Cancer Hospital said the chief, if not the sole, cause of the monstrous increase in cancer has been vaccination.’ In fact there is no International Society for Cancer Research, British Cancer Hospital or indeed Dr Robert Bell in this field of research. Source: Google searches. The 2001 article, mentioned by Holm, linking autism and the MMR vaccine by Andrew Wakefield was fully retracted by The Lancet in 2010, and Wakefield was found guilty by the UK General Medical

Council of serious professional misconduct in May 2010 and de-registered. Source: The Sunday Times. Holm states: ‘A German study‌ Children who were vaccinated had a two to five times higher rate in diseases and behavioural problems.’ You can Google this all day but all you will find is circular references in blogs with no reference to the original research. Why? There never was any. Finally Holm tells us he has a healthy (thankfully) 22-yearold unvaccinated daughter. Why? She was surrounded by vaccinated children.

I think it is not a good time to go to Japan, especially for young people, as the younger they are, the more they are affected by radioactive particles which are present both in the environment and in the food chain. To find out more about what is going on in Fukushima and Japan, please visit: http:// fukushimavoice-eng.blogspot. com/. I don’t want any young Australians to make an uninformed decision and to expose themselves to unnecessary health risks. Ultimately it is an individual choice, but if you decide to go to Japan, please consider the possible consequences.

Praise for Council

I would like to say thank you to the council workers who poured concrete and made a very effective repair to a recurrent problem spot at Beatties Creek Road causeway last year.

alluded to by Ms Heuvel. I am very happy for Mr Holm’s daughter that she is a healthy unvaccinated 22-yearold. He might reflect on the fact that were it not for the ‘herd immunity’ conferred by the very high vaccination rate of Australian children in general he might well be pushing his child around in a wheelchair as I used to do for my cousin who contracted polio because of her parents’ religious views against vaccination. A cousin who hated the fact that her life was ruined by a completely preventable disease and equally grew to hate those who had pronounced that sentence on her. For a truly sane and balanced view on the matter of vaccination I would recommend The Panic Virus by Seth Monookin and/or Deadly Choices by Paul A Offit MD ( see www. time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2053517,00.html). And to understand the sort of cognitive dissonance of belief systems that fly in the face of all contrary credible evidence as espoused by Mr Holm I would suggest reading The Believing Brain by Michael Shermer.

Brunswick Heads deeper beliefs that curtail our perceptions and responses. The purpose of this letter is to raise questions about some of those beliefs. What is progress? Is it growth and consumption of increasingly limited resources? Can progress be experienced differently – as change, without growth? Can we aspire to change, not growth, refabrication, not disposal? What is environment? Is it forests and fields, flora and fauna? Or does it extend to cellular and molecular structure? While we hope to stop cutting down forests we increasingly slice up DNA. Is there any difference between our polluting land, water, and air, and our poisoning our own flesh and fluids with mutilated foods and unbridled addictions? We fight the fires that disfigure our forests, but fan the flames that disfigure our foods. Can we value equally the microscopic and macroscopic? As you may know, sunlit green plants are the ultimate source of our food. In that light, consider this factoid. Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have been shown in laboratory experiments to reduce leaf digestibility and nutritional value for herbivores. This results in slower growth rates, less food, and lower vitality for all animals, including humans.

Highway traffic impact at Bangalow Thanks go to Steve Stewart (Letters, January 24) for his letter regarding the Bangalow Interchange. Steve correctly points out that the working party has been working on options which deny Bangalow access to the new highway. The current ‘approved design’ provides access to and from the new highway similar to Bangalow’s current access. Now is the final opportunity for Bangalow residents and workers to have their say, because the contract has already been awarded. Information sessions are being held at the A&I Hall on February 2 from 4pm and February 4 from 9am. You can also let the RTA know your preference by free-post on a ‘community feedback’ form which is available at Bangalow Newsagency. These forms have

Indeed, in its Route Options Development Report (October 2005) RMS actually said an interchange with the motorway at Bangalow was not suitable because it would result in additional traffic passing through the main street of Bangalow and might attract traffic travelling to Byron Bay (ie using the narrow, winding Bangalow Road to get from the motorway to the coast road). An interchange at Bangalow was totally inconsistent with RMS earlier thinking. So it was on sound grounds that Bangalow spoke out to delete access to the motorway. Now the issue is which of the displayed options for use in an emergency is the least offensive to Bangalow.

Couldn’t we apply to our current crisis, that which awoke us from our dreaming and took us from rosary beads to DNA? Isn’t it time to take the next step and snatch Earth’s climate from our romantic illusions of providence? I remember a true story about a philosopher who firmly believed reality is entirely subjective. While canoeing in a tropical river a crocodile leapt out of the water and dragged her under. A horrendous struggle ensued where she managed to escape and claw her way up a steep slippery bank. How many of us live in a world that firmly believes reality is entirely economic? Can you explain it to the crocodile?

So the banks sent tractors in: ‘Snub-nosed monsters, raising the dust and sticking their snouts into it ... through fences, through dooryards.’ The tenants looked in horror as their properties were razed. Steinbeck writes, ‘If a man owns a little property, that property is him, it’s part of him, and it’s like him. Even if he isn’t successful, he’s big with his property. That is so.’ Faced with the arrogant, heartless actions of Arrow Energy, make them a target. Stand up for farmers, stand up for clean water, and put an end to the carnage caused by corporations. Nobody wants the blame: ‘We’re sorry. It’s not us. It’s the monster. The bank isn’t like a man.’ No, corporations are not people. But only people can stand up and fight them, now.

Surely there must be some downsides to a global educational system which does away with not only the physical book but also the entire process of face-to-face learning and discussion. This vision of the future may prove to be accurate, in which all of our social and intellectual needs are supplied via digital interface, thus creating an ‘equal’ platform regardless of geographical or economic placement. If this transformation is complete by 2050, this will coincide with the ‘singularity’ in which artificial intelligence exceeds that of humans, and proceeds to surpass us at an exponential rate. Does anyone else find this a scary premise? Have we already begun to let technology run rampant, dictating our experience as humans and standing in as a replacement for actual interaction and experience?

‘Could it be a Drummer, a Grinder or a Screamer?’ I wondered, flicking through the identification pages. ‘Maybe it’s a Green Grocer, or a Twanger or a Tree Creaker? Whichever, it is certainly a Cicada.’ The insect rests on its shell. It is already larger than that casing from which it emerged. The veins in the wings are still pink. Soon they will be black. The two large eyes seem unaware of me. The three small eyes in the centre of the head – on what do they focus? The delightful common names of Australian cicadas largely come from the knowledge of children only a generation or two ago. A specialist called Max Moulds counts 700 different cicada in collections throughout the country and finds only about 200 are identified by taxonomists. Along with other specialists here and in New Zealand, he finds these childhood monikers useful as continued from page 11

this great work of identification progresses. Moulds, like others, finds the songs of cicadas are unique to each species. Identification pages online include sound bites. Males produce the sounds by flexing their tymbals. These are a set of delicate ribs found at the end of the thorax (second section) near the beginning of the abdomen (third section). The abdomen acts as a resonating chamber. Both sexes have sound receptors called tympanam, a flat section under the abdomen. Some species of males sing solo. Others collect in a location and sing as a chorus. When a female and male approach each other, both gesture to each other with unique patterns of clapping or flicking their wings. When the female is ready to lay her eggs, she ‘taste tests’ the upper branches of a tree. Only certain species of trees will do. Cicadas are true bugs, whose only nourishment is sips they cultural meaning or identity? In my opinion, the technological tsunamis that will certainly crash in the next few decades must be prepared for equally to those produced by climate change.

take direct from the veins of a tree branch. They rarely cause much damage. In fact, they are often bossed around by ants who worry them away from their drinking holes. The ants then collect the sap. Henri Fabre, the famous French entomologist, observed this and

declared that Aesop’s tale of ‘The Ant and the Cicada’ was plain slander. Having found the right tree, the female lays eggs which hatch into grubs. These do the original bungy jump, with no aids. Hitting the ground, they dig a chamber right alongside a

tree root. The sap at the roots in the xylem tubes is exactly what their mother wanted for them. This is their only nutrition as they grow underground. Australia’s cicada grubs live underground for any number of years, depending again on the species. Only the North

loaded statement with the implication that ‘I know better than you stupid believers and I can prove it with science’. In its aggressive and commonly expressed form it may be stated as ‘I believe there is no god’. Hence they are believers. Agnostic means that I am prepared to admit that I don’t know how we arrived at this point where we are able to discuss these things. Agnostic means without knowledge. This attitude displays a certain humility that the hubristic are not prepared to embody. Mr Mills states ‘I just don’t believe in religion’. The lack of subtlety in his expression sug-

gests a monochrome model of understanding. My point regarding ‘blind chance heaped upon blind chance ad infinitum’ is directed to the process from the ‘big bang’ to this conversation, cogniscent of the fact that science is as mobile as everything else. In fact, it is hard to keep up with its advances and the changing premises that flow from them. If I may quote G K Chesterton, ‘It is absurd for the evolutionists to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable god to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should

Protect our underwater world with a marine reserve There is a parallel world to ours. It too has a volcanic mountain like Mount Warning, formed 20 million years ago as the Australian continent drifted north over a hot spot, though it is four times as high. It too has gorges carved into the rock by the Tweed and Brunswick rivers, though rather than being 100–200 metres deep its canyons are 1,000–2,000 metres deep. While people once wandered around the head of the canyons, its atmosphere has now become so dense that they would implode. Since people left, new weird and wonderful creatures have taken over. It is hard to fathom how this parallel world can exist with most of us only being vaguely aware of its magnificence. Even the few who study it only have a vague idea of the creatures that inhabit it. Yet humans have come to rely on its bounty, with devastating consequences. We now have an opportunity to protect a small part of this parallel world, though only if you want to. The Commonwealth government is now deciding which parts of its Temperate East Marine Region it will protect to establish its promised Comprehensive Adequate and Representative (CAR) marine reserve system. The region extends from Bermagui on the south coast to past Fraser Island and out to beyond Norfolk Island. The reserve system is required to include a full range of ecosystems, reasonably reflect the biotic diversity within those ecosystems, and have the required level of reservation to ensure the ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities. The evidence is that this will require 20–50 per cent of each population and ecosystem to be fully protected from fishing. In November 2011 the Commonwealth released proposals for 25 per cent of this region to be incorporated into marine reserves, though most reserves are still available for most forms

of fishing, with only 4.3 per cent fully protected in Marine National Park zones. The proposed outcomes are far worse for coastal ecosystems. For the Commonwealth controlled waters of the continental shelf a mere 1.6 per cent is proposed for reservation, with only 0.01 per cent fully protected. Similarly for the continental slope only eight per cent is proposed for reservation with none fully protected. This is one of the worst outcomes in Australia. We have been dudded. Numerous ecosystems, key ecological features, biologically important areas and severely

Temperate East Marine Region. The aim of this proposal is to protect a sample of waters central to the overlap between Australia’s tropical and temperate species, with its own unique ecosystems, that will function as a stepping stone between proposed reserves to the north and south, and contribute to a genuine CAR marine reserve system. Key features of the proposed Tweed-Byron Commonwealth Marine Reserve are: t 5IF DPOUJOFOUBM TIFMG consisting of river valleys, cemented dunes, and ancestral shorelines drowned by rising seas from around 15,000 years ago, and now mostly smoth-

depleted species have been excluded. The Commonwealth originally identified the Tweed Area for Further Assessment for consideration as a reserve, though dropped this without justification. Conservation groups are seeking its restoration by proposing the creation of the 15,000km2 Tweed-Byron Commonwealth Marine Reserve covering Commonwealth waters off the Tweed and Byron coasts. It extends from the existing NSW Cape Byron Marine Park (5.5km offshore) out for 220km to encompass massive 4km high volcanic mountains rising from the Abyssal Plain.

Part of the Tasmantid Seamount chain rising up 4km from the abyssal depths to within 400m of the surface. These are refuges, aggregation sites and places of speciation for unique species. Canyons such as the Tweed and seamounts such as Britannia are biodiversity hotspots. We know that when we get around to looking properly a large proportion of the species we find will never have been seen before. These are the sites we know should be targeted for reservation.

As you descend over the edge of the continental shelf and down the slope light rapidly diminishes; by 200m photosynthesis stops and by a kilometre down light can no longer penetrate. Knowledge of fish and seafloor organisms diminishes with the light. Many species of the deep have long lives, slow reproduction and slow maturity, and thus are particularly vulnerable to over-fishing. Populations of many higher-order predators, along with some targeted commercial fish, have declined by NPSF UIBO ĹĽĹœ QFS DFOU PÄŒ /48 in the last few decades. Complex seafloor communities, including sponge and deepwater coral reefs, are being systematically eliminated by trawling. These are the ecosystems and species most urgently in need of the reservation the Commonwealth is denying them. Please show your support for marine conservation and the proposed Tweed-Byron Commonwealth Marine Reserve by emailing Submissions.TemperateEast@environment.gov.au. On its own this proposal does not rectify the manifest deficiencies in the Commonwealth’s proposed reserve network, though it is a worthwhile start.

In Good Spirits:

A chat with Miten and Deva Premal

SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN MUSICIANS, WHILE OTHERS TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND BECOME THE MUSIC THEMSELVES. FOR DEVA PREMAL AND MITEN SINGERS OF DIVINE MUSIC AND SACRED MANTRAS, THEY ARE NOT PERFORMERS, BUT RATHER A CHANNEL TO TRANSMIT MUSIC AND CONNECTION TO PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE. THEY HAVE TWO VERY SPECIAL CONCERTS THIS WEEKEND AND PERFORMANCES AT THE UPCOMING SPIRIT FESTIVAL. SEVEN GRABBED A QUICK CHAT WITH DEVA. You talk about creating a sacred space with your music – what do you mean by that? Well, we don’t claim the responsibility of creating a sacred space. We just show up, along with other like-minded souls, and together – with the intention of being open to something more than is usually visible – something magic happens. It’s not a performance as such. It’s not about entertaining a crowd. What inspired you both to

become ‘divine’ musicians – isn’t all music divine? Yes, all music is divine – it’s a medium that expresses what we cannot say in words. Basically, in our case, because of the nature of the mantras themselves, which are sound formulas that have the potential to effect our physicality – and our meta-physicality – we’re freed from the usual emotionally based lyricism. We’re not attempting to say something nobody else has said, kind of

thing‌ we don’t put ourselves under that kind of stress‌ Most songs are love songs, right? Sure mantras are love songs too, in a way, but they’re addressed to no-one in particular‌ plus they’ve already been written! They don’t ask for anything – they don’t necessarily ‘describe anything’ – they’re concerned with a different dimension, where emotion is secondary‌ where the sound itself is the point. (You know that

Leonard Cohen song – Love Itself Was Gone? – that’s a clue.) Mantras are by their nature repetitive – do you ever get bored of singing them and long for something new? Here’s the thing: we’ve been chanting these mantras now for 20 years and I swear to god, every time we rub the lamp we just hang on because we know we’re in for a wild ride – it’s an ecstatic experience to watch them do their thing.

And the point is – and this is easily missed or misunderstood – that the power is in the repetition‌ we chant and we start losing our usual perspectives – we have the opportunity to move into a more expanded space‌ and yes, it can look a bit stupid – a bunch of people chanting themselves into a trance, but then, so does making love if you’re on the outside, looking in. It’s a drug. Once you get it, you’re hooked.

INVASION OF THE PRIVACY SNATCHERS There are three little magic words that thrill every mother to the core. Back To School. Thank Christ they’ve gone. Yeah I love them. Yeah I’d lay down my life for them. I just don’t want them on my flipping couch watching Dr Phil moaning ‘there’s no foood’. To which I reply: ‘yes there is food’. Them: ‘Well, there’s nothing good to eat’. That fires off my mother guilt. I mean, what kind of mother just sits by and watches her children starve? So I bang out the Breville and start whipping out some toasties. There’re five kids on the couch; some like two toasties, others just one. Some like ham and cheese, others just cheese, some ham, cheese and pesto but no butter. Half an hour and one loaf of bread later my brood are fed. They’re still on the couch. I retire to the office saying, ‘Well I have to get some work done, so if someone can do the dishes‌ ?’ There’s a groan which I believe to be a sign that the message has been received. They are sprawled about in t-shirts and undies. They are more like labradors than actual people. Some are on iPods, some are texting, some are on the

To answer your question about how we communicate spirituality – you could say we see ourselves as messengers‌ we have something to report – and we can do it pretty well – so we do it. Our sense of spirituality is that everyone with a voice can experience their divinity‌ and I’m not talking about vocal cords We remain open to miracles. We’ve been taking the mantras into prisons lately – because we wanted to see if they REALLY worked, you know! And every time, we are left in tears – there is

something too incredible, being in the presence of a bunch of men (or women) who are in such a different reality from ours – who come with a kind of tenderness (that’s the only word I have), and who are open to absorbing what’s happening‌ the last one we did, in the San Pedro Penitentiary‌ we actually heard the men singing with us. Not like, LOUD, but they were with us‌ we remain penpals with some of them to this day. Does being on the road sometimes get tiring – how do you set space for yourselves and maintain your privacy

time can refer back to as long as two weeks ago. Not one of them is going to break rank. Friends is on. ‘I’ll do the dishes when Friends is finished.’ Really? I don’t think it can wait six months. I want to get them out of the house. I can’t bear the sight of their giant bodies in repose. I don’t even remember the last time I lay on the couch in the middle of the day. The other day I came home from work and there were so many children on the couch I had to sit on the toilet. I have lost control of all viewing rights. Even after installing some TV and DVD options in their rooms, they prefer to congregate in the lounge. If John and I want to watch a movie we have to do it on the laptop in our bedroom. I suggest they go to the pool. There’s a look of disbelief. As if they’d walk 400 metres to the public pool! What about walking the dog? No. Bike riding? How embarrassing! The beach? Too much effort. They start to decompose. Someone kicks someone. Someone starts crying. There’s a slanging match. A door slams. The mob breaks up. Someone lies on the floor in fetal position moaning like they’re in the death throes of the bubonic plague. ‘I’m so bored. This is the worst holiday of my life.’ Good.

being such public identities? I’ve heard from musician friends that being on the road all the time can be tiring – they have homes and families etc. In our case, it’s kind of different. We don’t have a ‘home’ in that way – no real base – so we’re never looking over our shoulders. Somehow, we’re always home – this is not a spiritual concept – it just happens to be the way it is‌ when you don’t have anywhere to go back to – you make your home wherever you are. So, no, being on the road can be tiring at times, sure (we played in 25 countries last year!), but it’s never draining. Every time we play, we get a re-boot. As for being public identities, we just cannot relate to that.

A beautiful obsession, as Van Morrison says. Can you write your own mantras or songs in the style of the traditional kirtans and mantras? Sure you can – the way it works for us though, is that Deva – who was born to the sound of her father chanting the Gayatri Mantra and who chanted it as a little girl all through her childhood (she was a weird kid) – brings a particular mantra to me that she resonates with (there are thousands) and we feel it out until something melodic appears which expresses the vibe of what the mantra is about. My Sweet Lord is a pretty cool example of how you can incorporate a mantra into contemporary music. Not that contemporary any more! But since we’ve been enjoying the Scorsese movie on George Harrison, the song comes to mind. How has your musical and creative process changed you? Well – we’re still playing the same music we were making in Pune at Osho’s ashram 20 years ago, but like anything, the more you do something the better you get at it. We’ve grown into it – we like to explore the boundaries. Deva’s last album was recorded with some great young jazz musos in Denmark. It’s not a jazz album, but we were curious to see how jazz musos would respond to mantras. I guess you could say we’ve grown, more than actually changing from one thing to another. You talk about the divine and awakening the spirit within, but what is your sense of spirituality? How do you communicate this in your music? Trying to conceptualise something as abstract as ‘awakening the spirit within’ is huge‌ basically, we just found something that nourished us internally – it came from being in the presence of an enlightened being – you can’t argue with stuff like that. It’s too big. We found out that the less selfconscious we are the more ‘spirit’ comes through. We’re not ‘holy’ people, Deva and I; we’re pretty down to earth.

laptop. All of this while apparently watching Dr Phil. Teenagers can’t focus on just one media, they must have everything on at once. I mean, imagine missing a Facebook posting about the latest goonsack victim! Mobile phones must be clutched tightly in one’s paw to keep on top of inane updates and ludicrous comments and, most importantly, to safeguard from scrutiny by the Mother. Imagine the secrets that would be revealed if mothers around the country were to insist their charges hand over their mobiles for an impromptu audit! Oh, the invasion of privacy! Hang on, I’m paying $30 a month for your privacy. Times three. Nothing infuriates me more than knowing that I’m forking out a hundred dollars a month so my kids can text their friends. Every time I need to contact them they’re like ‘oh, the battery’s dead’ or ‘I couldn’t find my phone’, or they turn it off, or worse, ‘I’ve run out of credit. I couldn’t call!’ Oh yeah! There are these things in houses called actual phones. Or even a public one! I go back into the kitchen two hours later. This time they’re watching Friends. Nothing makes me want to take a chainsaw to the TV more than Friends. We have the whole box set. Every season. My kids watch it over and over and over. There was a time when I actually thought I was living with Jennifer Anniston. Not only has no-one moved, no-one has done the washing up. Every piece of crockery, every glass I own is stacked on the benches. Cereal boxes are open on the table. The milk cartons are drained dry. There’s a trail of Milo from the floor to the couch. I blow a gasket. Someone retaliates with ‘I did it last time’. Last

They have taken the raw, chewy ingredients of soul-funk music of the 60s and 70s and blended it up into a refreshing concoction of inspired original music. Combined with a love of storytelling, hip melodies and contagious grooves, The H Gang delivers a live act full of energy and dedication to their music. They’ve just been busy recording their debut EP The Natural Bridge at both Rocking Horse and Nashua Road studios and are set to release the EP in February, so come on down and grab yourself a copy at their gig at By The River Restaurant from 3pm on Sunday!

DIMOND & MOSES Local musicians and all-round swell guys Kol Dimond and Albert Moses, also known as Fatty vs Mo, haven’t been lying around scratching their balls; they’ve been busily recording and have just released their brand-new CD Copy That. Recorded in the hills of Mullumbimby, the second album explores similar sonic territory as last year’s release. Indie dance styles with an eclectic mix of breakbeat pop and 4/4 beats. Copy That reveals a story in every verse and manages to transcend a pop aesthetic whilst keeping your feet well and truly mainlined to the dance floor. Official CD launch coming soon but in the meantime for free downloads and listening go to http://soundcloud.com/kooly. To buy a digital download of the album go to http://cdbaby.com/cd/fattyvsmo2. Or to get an old-fashioned hard copy of the CD for $13 dollars go to Psy-Co in Mullumbimby.

REVI E W CINEMA

The Descendants In the same fashion as Up In The Air (2009), we enter the movie accompanied by the confiding, measured tones of George Clooney’s voice-over. As Matt King, a descendant of ancient Hawaiian royalty, he is a lawyer of wealth and standing. Matt is unashamedly comfortable in his world and this openness puts you easily on side with him. But when he concludes his introductory preamble with ‘paradise can go fuck itself’, you know that more than just another soft-sell soapie is about to unfold. Matt’s wife Elizabeth is in a coma following a boating accident. It is decided that her life-support systems will be unplugged and on the afternoon that he informs

his elder daughter Alexandra (Shailene Woodley) of this, she reveals to him that her mother had been having an affair. Shocked and angered, Matt determines to learn the other man’s identity and to seek him out. Adjusting to the unforeseen and coping with the wounds it might open are challenges we must all meet, as is the necessity for us to step outside our own egocentricity and see ourselves as players on a broader stage, intimately connected with others. For Matt, Alexandra and his little girl Scottie (Amara Miller) are children the only thought he knew. Together, as a family that has been unexpectedly united by grief, resentment, uncertainty and the gamut of emotions that we are daily afflicted and uplifted

by, they steel themselves for the loss of Elizabeth. At the same time they grow closer as Matt is driven to understand the how and why of his wife’s infidelity. Clooney is as capable as any actor of being Everyman, but here he strips himself of the big star’s self-awareness to deliver a performance of unforced sensibility. Equally impressive are the girls – the scene in which Scottie is told of what is about to happen to her mother is overwhelming in its poignancy and naturalness. Even Nick Krause as Sid, Alexandra’s goofy boyfriend, blunders his way into your affections. This is an immensely satisfying and heartwarming movie – you won’t see better. ~ John Campbell

A Few Best Men I’ve always argued that originality is wildly over-rated in the arts and it is gratifying to see that local film funding bodies think along the same lines. How else to explain the arrival on our screens of this dismal cliché? An Aussie rom-com with the voguish grunge bromance factor – it’s just what we’ve been sweating on, isn’t it? Mia (Laura Brent) and Englishman David (Xavier Samuel) meet and fall in love while on holiday in Tuvalu. The opening scene, in which he proposes to her – comprised of his handicam home movie shots of her on the island – is of such fantastically awful dialogue and acting that you wonder if it is deliberately so. Upon which you’d then have to ask why? The wedding will be in Oz, so, out of loyalty, three of David’s best buddies tag along. And what do we see when they get here? A surfboard floating in Sydney Harbour with a gaping shark bite indentation. Of course, it’s meant to be a piss-take of hackneyed Strayan imagery (what drongo did they convince that it was contemporary satire?), but it still manages to make one cringe and suspect that the gag was written by a ten year-old. The boys go out and get off their faces on the night before David’s nuptials

and zany stuff ensues (yawn). Because you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, all actors go down with the ship, but it should be mentioned in dispatches that Kris Marshall is especially tiresome doing his naughty idiot thing as Tom (he must, by now, be dying to break out of that part). To be honest, I didn’t quite make it to the end, but, unless it came home with a wet sail to deliver a side-splitting finale, I’m sad to say that if your penchant is for comedies that aren’t funny, you will find this little stinker irresistible. Then again, most people I know thought that ‘Bridesmaids’ was a scream, proving once and for all that there is no accounting for taste. ~ John Campbell

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

<echowebsection=cinema>

of only secondary interest. 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

1. Christian Bale stars as the brooding Caped Crusader in Batman Begins NBN, Saturday, 9.45pm), which traces the dark origins of Bruce Wayne’s super-persona back to the League Of Shadows and family disaster. Both the comic book series and the movie franchise are among the most satisfying of the superhero genre, exploring the depths of Batman’s troubled psyche. The films also offer great cinematic atmosphere and fine supporting characters in the likes of Michael Caine as Alfred, Wayne’s butler.

2. Bruce Willis is of course the troubled cop who finds himself under unfriendly fire as he escorts a fasttalking witness, played by Mos Def, a mere 16 blocks to a courthouse in 16 Blocks (NBN, Sunday, 10pm). Lots of gunfire. What is unusual is that they didn’t take a police car. Go figure. 3. At 11pm on Sunday night on ABC1 there is a little gem: the film of David Williamson’s play Travelling North. Fine performances all round.

Classic is a Whale of a time All Stars’ war cry is deadly The NRL Indigenous All Stars players will be spending this Friday and Saturday training with Dhinawan Dreaming and Bundjalung Kunjiel Dancers to perform the war cry for this weekend’s All Stars game. After a moving speech by Indigenous Ambassador Dhinawan and a great performance with Stephen Larcombe of Bundjalung Kunjiel at the NRL Sponsors Conference Dinner last year, Dhinawan Dreaming scored the big gig at what is becoming an iconic annual event. When Dhinawan received the email about training the NRL Indigenous All Stars, he

It’s that time! The Elite Superfish look to Byron’s Main Beach while waiting for the start of the Swim Classic’s ultimate event in 2010. Photo Tree Faerie.

The Byron Bay Winter Whales are understandably proud of winning the 2011 Byron Shire Australia Day Award for Community Event of the Year for their annual Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic. Held on the first Sunday in May each year this event, along with the shorter Westpac Mini-swim, is not only a great ocean swim event but the monies raised from it is distributed to selected charities and local organisations. These include local water-based clubs, the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter, The Salvos, cancer

support groups, ambos etc who have to date benefitted from the distribution of some 434,000 -odd dollars. Event o-ordinator Rob Elvy was quick to praise the small band of Winter Whales that have conducted this event 24 times so far and says that it could not have happened so successfully each and every one of those times without the support of the Byron Bay Surf Club on the water and the Swimming Club in the registration area on the day. ‘Our list of sponsors, most of them long term, are a valuable

asset to the results we achieve each year’, he says. ‘The participation of the ocean swimming community from the local area, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, and inceasingly more from Sydney and Melbourne is also testament to the commitment of the organisers and for this award to be granted to our event is further validation of the original idea, back in 1988, to run an annual charity swim in the Bay. This year’s Classic will be run on Sunday May 6. For more information visit: www.byronbayoceanswimclassic.com.au.

Coach the coach clinics on north coast North Coast cricket coaches in need of some coaching of their own will benefit from two upcoming workshops in Lismore and Murwillumbah. Arranged by the Office of Communities – Sport and Recreation, two ‘Coach the Coach’ cricket workshops will be held in early February. Sport and recreation officer Heidi Duncan said the workshops are ideal for those who are relatively new to coaching or who wish to broaden their technical knowledge. ‘The “Coach the Coach� workshops will teach coaches about the most appropriate and effective ways to conduct cricket coaching sessions’, says

Shores United Soccer Club Seniors Mens

Ms Duncan. ‘They will also look at factors that motivate young people to play and enjoy cricket’. The workshops will cover both theory and practical sessions on fault identification; planning practice; coaching at different levels; practical skills and techniques; coaching philosophy and its application; age and ability and going back to basics. The workshops will be presented by Level III coach Keith Wyatt, current member of the

Bradman Clinics and former regional director of coaching, with the assistance of fellow Level III coach Amanda Owens, who is also a current Bradman Clinics coach as well as a former NSW representative. The workshops will be held at Rabjones Oval, Murwillumbah, on Monday February 6 and at Woodlawn College Lismore. For more information or to enrol, please phone 6618 0400 or visit the website at www.dsr. nsw.gov.au.

to practise traditional dances from Yugambeh region to pass on to the NRL Indigenous players. ‘It is a great privilege to meet my heroes and to train and dance with them on the field’, says Dhinawan. ‘It is great coming together as a united front representing all Indigenous Australia.’

Now, if only the weather gives us a break, we will get into some bowls. Visitors are always Welcome! We bowl of a Tuesday morning. You can ring your name through to 0266856202 or be at the club at 9am for a 9.45 start. Bring your lunch with you as we usually enjoy a meal together after bowls.

There is to be a Coaching Workshop being held at Brunswick Heads on Saturday 4th February. This is short notice but the coaches wanted to get a session in before Pennants begin.

Come join the fun and the horse action. If you just want to come and watch, it’s a great spectator sport too. The Alstonville Show Society

will have plenty of food and refreshments on the day and spectator entry is free. The Northern Rivers Team Penners club is always happy to welcome new riders or teams.

Manufacturing Stoke, an introspective look into the surfing culture’s struggle for positive environmental change, is one of the many films to be featured at this year’s Byron Bay International Film Festival. Now in its 6th year, the Festival has established a reputation, locally, nationally and now internationally, for dynamic programming. This reputation is built on the festival’s ability to pull together a captivating, stimulating and entertaining dose of screen culture. But there two standout genres for which both the festival, and Byron Bay, are best known. Surf/street culture, and conservation/the environment. So it’s fitting that one of this year’s highlight films, Manufacturing Stoke, has both genres at its core According to the festival’s media release, ‘A history of open-mindedness and creativity has put Byron firmly on the world map for people seeking a positive change in lifestyle or perspective. ‘A progressive place where new technologies and practices are embraced, green awareness and eco living are promoted, Byron is a place where “quality of life” sits high on the list of life priorities. And the festival’s

program reflects this. Screening over 10 days from March 2 to 11, the festival will feature over 40 public screenings in Byron Bay, with introductions and Q & A sessions by attending filmmakers, Gala Red Carpet Opening Night and Closing Party showcase nights, free workshops and panels, primary and secondary school screenings, a balcony bar for the audience to mix with filmmakers and an expanded program in neighbouring Lismore. In 2011, 206 films were screened from 35 countries of which 72 were Australian films. 135 of the films screened were Australian or World Premieres. BBFF2012 is shaping up to be even bigger. Pierce Kavanagh, international filmmaker and director of Manufacturing Stoke, is featured this week on www. echonetdaily.net.au, along with a trailer for the movie, and is one of a selection of filmmakers who will be attending this year’s festival. Check out Echonetdaily for news, reviews, trailers and filmmaker insights. Further programming and ticketing information will be available over the coming weeks at www.bbff.com.au.

First stage of Beachbreak on offer A $26 million Byron Bay apartment development – Beachbreak @ Byron – will offer 52 two-bedroom apartments located 450m from Tallow Beach and priced from $425,000. Developers Graham Dunn, of Byron Bay Property Sales, and Steve Agnew, of Agcorp Constructions, have just completed construction of the first stage comprising 24 apartments. Beachbreak @ Byron is a ‘locked gate community’ on a 3.2 hectare site on Broken Head Road at Suffolk Park, just south of  Byron’s CBD. Mr Dunn said in a press release that visitors to the display units had expressed surprise at the spaciousness of the apartments and inclusions such as stone benchtops in the kitchens and bathrooms, timber floors to living areas, Omega appliances, ensuites, and large balconies. ‘They are very impressed with the quality of the build and that the apartments are more spacious than they anticipated,’ he said. We decided to keep all the units at two

bedrooms to keep the average price at $480,000 while still offering quality finishes and inclusions. ‘As a result, Beachbreak offers an attractive entry price and some of the best value real estate in Byron Bay.’ Mr Dunn said a lack of apartment development in Byron Bay and ongoing demand from

buyers were keeping a floor under prices and rents in the town. He said six apartments had sold and several of these had been rented out for more than $500 per week. Beachbreak’s ground-floor apartments have private use of courtyards which are owned and maintained by the body corporate.

The development, which does not allow holiday letting, is targeting first home buyers, retirees and investors keen to secure a slice of Byron Bay’s limited real estate. All apartments have a lockup garage with storage space and there is a 40-vehicle car park for use by residents and visitors.

Mr Dunn said construction of the remaining apartments at Beachbreak would begin when sales in the first stage reached the halfway point. Two display apartments are open for inspection Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday or by appointment. Go to beachbreakatbyron. com.au.

People considering buying a rural property now have access to a simple guide that highlights the things they need to check before they purchase. The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has recently published a factsheet titled ‘Precautions when buying rural land’ which covers some of the issues to consider when purchasing a rural property. ‘It also outlines a wide range of information about rural land use and obligations,’ said Melissa Kahler, resource management officer with NSW DPI. ‘Buying rural land should be a rewarding experience offering a great lifestyle and potential income – but it is important to do

<echowebsection=Real Estate>

your homework to make sure you know what you’re buying. ‘A thorough assessment of the suitability of the land for your intended enterprise is critical. ‘Issues such as plant and animal diseases, insect pest prevalence, weed and vertebrate pest notices and chemical residues may impact on the way the buyer can use the land.’ Ms Kahler said the vendor is not always obliged to disclose all such information. So it is up to the buyer and their solicitor to carefully inspect the property, examine the contract, and ask the right questions about the issues that could affect the use of the property. This fact sheet outlines the relevant information to look out for. It also provides

details about where you can access further information. ‘For instance, the Livestock Health and Pest Authority are able to assist with livestock health and chemical residue concerns; they are also able to provide advice on stock movement and export certification and can advise on notices relevant to the proposed land.’ The factsheet is being promoted to stock and station agents as well as local councils. To download of copy of the new factsheet visit the DPI website at www. dpi.nsw.gov.au/environment/ landuse-planning/agriculture.

Well, that was the week that was for downpours, saturated gardens, closed roads, mildewing clothes and walls, general claustrophobia and mass consumption of Tim Tams. Unfortunately the understanding of flooded roadways hasn’t improved much among some drivers, who either risk their lives driving into torrents or drive like arseholes on water-covered roads, setting up bow waves to swamp other motorists.

If you want to get around in floods, the RTA live traffic site http://livetraffic.rta.nsw. gov.au/desktop.html provides good updates plus travel times, traffic conditions and news of other obstacles such as fire and ‘major events’, which includes road changes associated with the Tamworth music festival, for example. My Road Info www.myroadinfo. com.au, used by north coast councils, is another good site, as is ABC North Coast on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ ABCNorthCoast.

Good to note the care and artistic appreciation shown by BSC pothole crew in its recent fillings on Main Arm Road. All holes were very neatly filled without destroying the unofficial ‘pavement art’ that brought the holes to notice (Backlash, 20/12/11). Q Q Q Q

The Planning Assessment Commission’s public sessions on the proposed festival site at Yelgun are shaping up to be the biggest planning event since Commissioner Kevin Cleland’s inquiry into lands at North Ocean Shores in 1997 and the ICAC investigation of north coast land dealings in 89/90. There’s public access by speakers from both sides of the fence and we’ll probably hear hyperbole by the bucketful from both pro and con. See more in the news pages and letters on page 9.

This sign near the Federation Bridge in Mullum – it reads ‘Slippery when wet’ – was a favourite among local flood-spotters. It could have read ‘Watch out for break-dancing’, but no such luck. And thanks to everyone for all the great photos of the flooding you sent in – just a shame we didn’t have space to run them all. You can see Sharon Shostak’s footage of the flooding, and a chat with the SES crew, at www.youtube.com/user/echonetvideo. Q Q Q Q
