LUMINOUS EGG WITH A GOLDEN SHIELD

Lock The Gate unhappy at being under surveillance Hans Lovejoy

It has been revealed that federal police are keeping tabs on groups and individuals protesting against coal-seam gas (CSG) and other environmental issues. Last Tuesday, federal government minister Joe Ludwig told Greens senator Christine Milne ‘The AFP [Australian Federal Police] monitors protest groups in line with legislative requirements to prevent the occurrence of criminal acts.’

CSG a state govt matter The news comes after Tweed representative on the national Lock the Gate Alliance against CSG, Michael McNamara, called on Page MP Janelle Saffin and Richmond MP Justine Elliot to ‘take a stand against this intimidatory tactic’. ‘It says something about the government that they find cane farmers, small business operators, professional people, dairy farmers and tradespeo-

ple so threatening.’ When asked if she supports the views of the Lock The Gate Alliance, MP Justine Elliot told The Echo, ‘I know there are many who hold concerns in our community about coalseam gas mining and I have previously called on Barry O’Farrell and the local National Party state MPs to explain what they are going to do about the community concerns right across the far north coast.’ Mr McNamara, however, is unconvinced. ‘She has claimed in the past that CSG is only a state matter, but here the federal police are involved. In the recent protest at Kerry, near Beaudesert, police were pushing cameras in people’s faces. ‘The message was clear that if you protest you can expect to be placed on police or ASIO files. ‘Police and politicians should remember that there is a legitimate right to make political protests in a democracy,’ he said.

Wild card for Amanauel

Sports field unveiled Luis Feliu

The official opening last Friday of the $17 million state-of-the-art Byron Regional Sport and Cultural Complex was a day of community celebration, with several hundred guests and locals joining officials in the opening ceremony and a tour through the facility. The complex, after two years of construction, is now open for use by sporting and cultural groups, not just from Byron but throughout the region. It was described by Mayor Jan Barham as the outcome of a united community which made ‘a dream come true’. ‘This is what $17 million looks like and it’s money well spent and deserved, it gives me great faith in the community and local government and shows the determined spirit of this community, which is set to shine brightly,’ a chuffed Cr Barham told the gathering. The facility on 16 hectares provides top-class playing fields for athletics, netball, soccer, rugby, hockey, cricket, softball and more. The building includes a multi-purpose hall that can accommodate up to 2,000 people and which also doubles as a basketball stadium complete with electronic scoreboard. There is also a canteen, meeting and function rooms, a dance studio and offices.

Contributors praised

Ten-year-old vocalist Amanauel Visser has plenty to smile about after it was announced last Sunday night on Network 10 that he had won a wild card entry to the finals of the refurbished Young Talent Time. Amanauel, who performed on the show just over a week ago, gained praise from judge Tina Arena who said he has a beautiful stage presence. Photo Eve Jeffery

Both Mr Elliott and the Cornell family were honoured with the main sports fields named after them in recognition of their contributions to the community and the fields were unveiled during an inspection tour around the facility. Richmond MP Justine Elliot said that when Cr Barham and the community sport association’s Paul Irwin, first approached her about funding and support for the project in 2006, she was inspired by their enthusiasm and commitment to make it a reality. She said it was ‘great community victory for Byron Shire to enjoy’; having such a facility and it would greatly benefit local kids and boost tourism

to the area in a big way with its ability to host large conferences and events. ‘It will also be a great meeting place for the community, which has so many uses for it, and everyone should be very proud.’ Mr Irwin said the day marked the end of a 30-year chapter in which several sports organisations had sought to have a much-needed sports and cultural facility built for everyone to use in the shire. ‘We would have settled for a cow

paddock for sporting fields, but what we have here today is what this community deserves, and we’ve been rewarded for our efforts,’ he said. During the unveiling of the sports fields, Cr Barham paid tribute to Herb Elliott, who had been a member of Council’s sports committee planning the project, as his Olympic committee experience had been ‘invaluable’. ‘To name a field in his name hopefully will be an inspiration for young continued on page 2

The Byron Music Society is about say goodbye to its last founding member as Margot Dods resigns from the post. As the society comes of age, Margot feels that it is high time she stepped down from the committee. ‘Twenty years is enough’, says Margot. ‘It’s at the point now that there is a good committee and I am happy to leave.’ Margot, who is herself an extremely accomplished pianist, says the highlight of of the 21 years would definitely be the aquisition of the Steinway Concert Grand, which is housed at the Byron Community Centre. Margot was instrumental in creating the vision and bringing to life the idea of having a piano that was worthy of the calibre of musician she was

Farewell program

hoping to attract to the area. ‘The problem with programming here was that there was no piano. We couldn’t ask firstclass artists to come and play on the one in the school hall.’ Margot says that she and Cassandra Parkinson, who was the first manager of the Byron Community Centre, started a

fundraiser which eventually collected the $90,000 needed for the Steinway. Margot has, for the final time, organised a beautiful farewell musical program for 2012 before she retires from the committee. ‘I am really excited about my last program of concerts’, she says. ‘We have Australia’s top

‘We will also have two Steinway performances: one with Nicholas Young, who is the winner of the keyboard section of the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Awards 2011, and the yet-to-be-named winner of the Sydney International Piano Competition.’ Though she will have no official role in the society, Margot will still be helping out in an advisory capacity. ‘I am pleased that this committee is dedicated to maintiaining the high standards we have achieved over the last 20 years’.

Councils disagree on library services Luis Feliu

A round-table meeting on Tuesday between all four member councils of the Richmond-Tweed Regional Library (RTRL) failed to reach agreement on how the service should be managed.

Byron wants out The three-hour meeting in Mullumbimby ended with Byron Shire Council at odds with the three other councils (Lismore City, Tweed and Ballina) by maintaining its push for the service to be run under the previous shared-arrangement model instead of it being managed by Lismore City Council. Byron Council is concerned that the current draft agreement by which Lismore council manages the service is in effect a ‘takeover’, not transparent and causing uncertainty among li-

brary staff about their futures. Tweed and Ballina councils have given in-principle support for the current administrative model, though Ballina councillors will debate whether to rescind that support this Tuesday.

Broken trust But Lismore mayor Jenny Dowell rejected that, saying four models had been previously explored and rejected and she would be ‘very happy’ for Lismore to hand over the service to another council if the administrative model was the preferred one. ‘We have no attachment to this; our staff have spent an inordinate amount of time on this,’ she said, but to hand its running back to a committee would be a ‘poisoned chalice’ and a ‘cop out’, Cr Dowell said. But Cr Barham said Byron still wanted a shared agreement

Dear Man, You are the active pole on earth and needed like the sun – shining with honest care, in love, on to a woman. She is like the earth – she receives, she gives, she knows. We are this beautiful life. In this self-made world man learned to show off, it is easy for you but are you brave enough to stand up for love? Be true – be simple and give your honest love and care and make sweetly and rightly love to her. It is a woman’s delight and need to grow with you and glow in love. It is your most fulfilling task. For this to be, you will have to give up selfish, restless sex. Be still, drop your demand, enjoy moment to moment life. Love life. Do you excite yourself with sex-thought? It overstimulates you. It makes you dishonest in love, so you just take, but you should ask and learn to give right love. We are influenced as a child... take a drug, get used to sex, be sexy, show off, be greedy, give your attention to the newest invention, get excited... nothing will be good enough for long and such greediness supports the sex business. Worldwide he manipulates young women to play sexy for him, to be his sex object and if she makes sex with such a selfish demanding ungiving man it makes her like him. Infected and made discontent, both feel dependent on stimulation, for in truth they have not made love and so they say ‘let’s have some fun with a drug...’ Hey man, give up, you can’t just take what you want, you can’t just take love! You have to give to a woman. Life’s love is her gift to you, if you have earned it. A woman today can be honest to man. If he is not honest, do not give to him, wait until he demonstrates true love. If you are honest, moment to moment and give to what is good and right, you simply feel well from the inside. With such a woman of love, you will listen to her carefully. Love is easily broken, it has to be made fresh, new, no other body belongs to you. Each of us has to stand up for love. Life felt inside is reflected in beautiful earth, universe – I belong to you. From a Woman.

but other management options had to be properly looked into and the lack of information was ‘extremely disturbing’. She added, ‘everyone has different information’ and ‘trust has broken down and needs rebuilding’. Options discussed included a co-operative, a corporation, a charitable trust, county council model, a stand-alone service, incorporated organisation, a shared service and the current administrative model. The library service has over 100 staff at 12 libraries in the four shires plus a mobile library service and almost 130,000 member/users. Martin Field, a former longtime director of the service before it was placed under Lismore’s administration, told the meeting the service before Lismore Council took over its management had become one of the best-performing library

services in the state but, under the new regime, operating costs and inefficiencies had increased.

GM opinions differ Byron general manager Graeme Faulkner said he would recommend his council adopt the county council model as it was less ambiguous and gave community protection of library assets. ‘The safest way to move forward is to reinstate the RTRL committee and work towards a county council model’, Mr Faulkner said. But Ballina general manager Paul Hickey said councils could not go back to the past model as they could not ‘give any legal authority’ to the committee’. Cr Dowell said the general public was happy with the current running of the service and no complaints had been made.

Are you a responsible, peaceful, joyful, simple and supportive man who is willing to serve in the restoration of love on earth? I have seen the Light so very bright. Honesty and Love make us grow and glow in consciousness. www.echo.net.au

Students’ pitch pays off in solar panels Byron Bay High School students Ruby Kammoora and Lealah Shostak-Herber, pictured, are positively glowing with the announcement of a $33,000 grant from the federal government for 42 solar panels for their school. They are part of The Green Team environmental group, a voluntary extra-curricular lunchtime collective of nine enthusiastic student members ranging from years 9 to 12 who say they are determined to combat climate change.

Gaslands filmmaker appearance in doubt

ALDI eyes up Byron Bay our fruit and vegetables are sourced locally where possible to ensure freshness, quality and value’. Of interest to many shoppers in the area will be the omission of plastic bags at the checkouts. ‘We are proud of our plastic bag policy. We are the only major grocery retailer in Australia who refuses to offer free plastic bags nationwide, and we have done so since day one. We encourage customers to bring their own shopping bags, or alternatively they can purchase a re-useable bag from our stores’.

Gaslands fimmaker Josh Fox’s guest spot at the Byron Bay International Film Festival is in jeopardy following his arrest in Washington at a hearing into hydraulic fracturing for coalseam gas, or ‘fracking’. He refused to leave and was arrested for ‘unlawful entry’. The festivals also plans to run Bimblebox, a documentary about coal expansion in Australia. The Bimblebox Nature Refuge lies in the path of what will be the Earth’s largest coal mines. One woman, Paola Cassoni, decided to resist the China First project. See more online at www.bbff.com.au.

ALDI’s new store hopes to open a new store on the corner of Byron and Fletcher streets in the middle of 2012. An ALDI spokesperson told The Echo they are still fitting out the old Spar supermarket and expect to employ 10 to 15 staff. They are encouraging local residents to apply for positions via the careers website. They also said that the store will align itself with their other supermarkets in Australia. ‘ALDI offers consistent, national pricing across all its stores, meaning customers pay the same at any ALDI regard-

less of where they live,’ said the spokesperson. ‘Our Byron Bay store will include standard features such as wider shopping aisles for easy navigation and long checkouts to ensure quick processing’.

Weir options tabled

Sports complex open for business

A vibrant meeting of some 80 Bangalow residents heard last Tuesday a range of options for dealing with the town’s damaged 90-year-old weir and pool. The night included perspectives from environment, heritage and governance experts. Council’s neglect of the pool was a theme that was raised a number of times; however the meeting gave a rousing cheer to local structural engineer Tony Baggio, who dismissed claims in Council’s initial report that the weir needed to be demolished and that the cost of replacing it was close to $1 million.

Plastic bag free ALDI say they offer a core range of more than 1,000 exclusively branded goods but will sell local produce. ‘In addition to our core range, ALDI offers weekly special buys which can include anything from televisions to homeware to clothing, and

people of the shire who may think that one day, they too could be an Olympic champion,’ she said. ‘Some say the Cornell family put Byron on the map with their development of the Beach Hotel, which is true in a way, but they also, very quietly and without fanfare, donated over $2 million to community groups, and for this they are being honoured to ensure their contribution lives on,’ she said. Mr Elliott said he was ‘a bit embarrassed’ at being hon-

oured in such a way, but felt it had been an absolute privilege to be associated with the Byron sports committee. Delvene Cornell said it was ‘quite an honour to have sports fields named after our family’ saying that as a boy, her husband John had been a boxer, ran marathons, played cricket and rode bikes ‘much like any other Aussie kid’. Delvene said sport promoted many positive traits in young people, improved their stamina, taught them skills and cunning, about ‘playing

Mr Cornell proudly told The Echo afterwards that when he first came to Byron 30 years ago, he ‘dug deep’ and supported the local dragonboat racing crew which then competed in Europe and won a world title. He said many of that first crew were still involved in local sports, including Paul Irwin, and he was quite pleased with that.

Spirit fest launches into stratosphere organisers are asking people to contact them if they would like to host a friendly yogi for the weekend.

Mandy Nolan

The Byron Shire has long been stereotyped as Australia’s ‘New Age’ centre. This weekend marks the inaugural launch of the Byron Spirit Festival, an event that unifies the worlds of yoga, tantra, music, dance and healing in what is being called a celebration of self and community in venues throughout Mullumbimby. Director Alex Grant says the idea came after he and fellow New Yorker and co-producer Alison Pearl attended the 2011 Bali Spirit Festival with co-producer Kate Little.

Active participation Festival culture has flourished in the last decade and although economic times have caused some retraction, Alex believes that events like the Spirit Festival reflect a whole new genre emerging in America and around the world. ‘It’s not just about being entertained,’ says Alex who is also a yoga teacher, acupuncturist

You are not an onlooker, you are an in-looker!’ As with the Mullumbimby Music Festival, patrons may attend festival events at community spaces throughout the town including the Civic Hall (free entry), ACE rooms, St

‘The Spirit Festival is about community and creating a family-friendly non-drinking environment’ says Alex, ‘with a kids’ space and kids’ events throughout the day. ‘We are encouraging people to bring bikes to travel between venues and of course bring a yoga mat and wear loose comfortable clothing so you can dance!’ This is an event that offers everything from Hatha to Astunga and everything in between; a yoga DJ set and monks creating a sand mandala at the Spirit Village every morning is just some of what’s in store.

Freedman’s venue approved, despite complaints Luis Feliu

Singer songwriter Tim Freedman has welcomed Byron Shire Council’s move paving the way for his luxury Broken Head property to be used for weddings and other functions. The former frontman of The Whitlams, who owns one of the seven strata-title units at the Pavilions estate in Beach Road, said he was happy both sides of politics had seen the merit of his latest development application (DA) to run up to 14 functions a year limited to 70 guests. But neighbours of a luxury Broken Head estate say they will take legal action to stop functions being held there after Council on Thursday voted 7–2 to obtain a staff report giving draft consent conditions, including addressing the issue of obtaining strata owners’ consent, to be considered at its March 1 meeting. Crs Basil Cameron and Pat-

terprise’ and not suitable for the tourist zoning of the estate. But Mr Freedman said the latest DA was for only 14 functions, finishing at 9pm, with a ban on any live or amplified music or public-address systems, which was more in line with ‘quiet gatherings’. Cr Ross Tucker said the applicant was prepared to make Possible legal action concessions on limiting noise Last November, Council and operation times, which had knocked back a similar could best be dealt with by consent conditions. approval for 18 events.

Mrs Hochgrebe and rick Morrissey were the only two councillors opposed. Planning staff had again recommended refusal to the plan on several grounds, including that it was a prohibited development in a tourist zoning, would create noise and disturbance to neighbours and did not provide sufficient parking.

But Cr Patrick Morrissey said there were strong objections from other owners of the common land who had not given consent to use the land for functions with their ‘catering vans or limos’ and Council had to be mindful of that. Mayor Jan Barham said she lived across the road from the estate longer than any of the objectors and the unit nearest her house had in the past caused more problems than Mr Freedman’s unit.

Federal store closes Chris Dobney

The Federal Store, which includes the post office, bottle shop and cafÊ, closed this week; however, there maybe a white knight on the horizon. A Melbourne doctor and businessman, Simon Rose, told The Echo he has been negotiating with the owners. The Echo understands the shop’s owner, Philomena Carr, is retiring because of age and

Both are teaching at CloudCatcher Reclaiming WitchCamp, which is a four-day workshop taking place in the Wollumbin caldera over Easter this year.

ill health. The community icon had been for sale through Elders Bangalow and stands to be auctioned on Wednesday March 28. Mr Rose said, ‘My interest was to set up a communitybased general store and one of my children was interested in running the restaurant. ‘My vision is to make it really community oriented, with lots of local produce.’

No fewer than 14 employment agencies are under investigation for falsely claiming fees from the federal government. According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald of February 6, the investigation is being conducted by Robert Butterworth, a former public servant appointed by Kate Ellis, the minister for employment participation. It is not known when his findings will be made. The investigation is long overdue, according to local employment agency staff. The Herald had previously alleged that the employment agency run by the Catholic Church systematically defrauded the government by claiming fees for finding jobs for people who had in fact found employment by themselves. But people in the industry say the practice is common, and is aggravated by the way the system is set up. The private agencies are contracted by Job Services Australia (JSA), a division of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, and paid according to the number of people they place in jobs. Fees vary according to the employment prospects of the client placed, and

the subsidies sometimes paid to employers to take them on. However, the agencies are rated by JSA according to how many clients are placed, and these star ratings determine whether an agency’s contract will be renewed or not. Overstating placements is thus profitable in both the short and long term. The contracts of some highrating agencies are already assured of being rolled over at the start of the next financial year, but others have to compete for their continued existence. Although emphasising that the government’s rules are both complex and constantly changing, leading to some honest mistakes, sources in the industry say that when the contracts are finalised in June, apparently well-performing agencies will be rewarded with rollover contracts although they may have been rorting the system. By contrast providers which have scrupulously followed the rules may receive lower star ratings and miss out. The 14 providers under investigation have not been named, but it appears unlikely that a report will be ready in time to prevent honest agencies being eliminated from the JSA scheme and dodgy ones rewarded.

A 53-year-old man who fell through a roof at a Byron Bay factory last Monday has died in Gold Coast Hospital. The man, whose name has not been released, had been installing insulation in the factory on the corner of Brigantine Drive and Centennial Circuit when he fell, landing on a cement floor several metres below. He was knocked unconscious, sustaining multiple injuries. Paramedics who rushed to the scene stabilised the man before he was airlifted to Gold Coast Hospital in a serious condition.

already over-burdened (because under-funded) public system; in fact it did, and does, no such thing. All accident, emergency and otherwise urgent cases still go first to public hospitals as a matter of course, but the doctors go the other way: after all, they get paid vastly more by the private than the public hospitals.

The private health rebate was simply a direct taxpayer subsidy to the chosen lifestyle of the rich. by Mungo MacCallum their own fees; they know the insurance funds will usually raise their own rates to meet them and if they don’t, well, tough; there is always gap insurance to cover the excess. Thus the profession’s outrage when Whitlam attempted to bring in Medibank, a truly universal public health care scheme, was one of the most vicious and unprincipled demonstrations of self-interest ever seen in the country. The hapless minister in charge, Bill Hayden, was accused by the Australian Medical Association (the militant and ruthless doctors’ union) of being a communist, and also a Nazi; medical records were faked to prove that he was insane as wild rumours about his private life were spread through the consulting rooms of the nation. The Liberals gave the doctors their unquestioning support; eventually Whitlam needed a double dissolution of parliament and a joint sitting of both houses to get the Medibank legislation passed. And when the Liberals regained power in 1975, Malcolm

only, explicit promise he broke: and even then, rather than going the whole hog and abolishing the rebate altogether, his modest proposal was for a progressive means test. The populace was still to be encouraged to take out private insurance but the super rich were no longer to be subsidised. The Libs, of course, opposed even this puny measure, and twice knocked it back in the Senate. Now finally, with the help of the independents in the reps and the Greens in the senate, it is set to pass. There is, of course, a chorus of doom and gloom from the private funds, which, despite their regular profits and huge cash reserves, now claim to be facing ruin. They are, of course, lying; there is still a lot of milk to be extracted from those cash cows. But the finest examples of confected outrage have come from the rich themselves. My favourites are the Richardses, an Adelaide husband and wife team with a combined income of over $258,000 a year – that’s about $5,000 a week to you peasants. Mrs Richards whinged to a sympathetic ear (from The Australian of course): ‘It’s ridiculous. The better we do, the more the government takes.’ Actually it’s not the government taking: it’s the rest of us peasants no longer being made to pay for your indulgences. Or at least not as much: we’re still looking after the private school where you plan to send the kids.

public money into the private system, and the private health insurance rebate was the first move. It was ineffective in its stated aim of increasing their membership; it took another step, the big stick which threatened voters with constantly increasing rates for every year they delayed taking out private insurance, to achieve any substantial jump. The private health rebate was simply a direct taxpayer subsidy to the chosen lifestyle of the rich. Labor’s shadow minister, Jenny Macklin, described it at the time as ‘the worst example of public policy ever seen in this parliament’ and it would certainly have to be in anybody’s top ten. But after that, Labor backed off; its opposition became muted and eventually non-existent, as successive leaders consciously avoided offending any identifiable lobby group in an increasingly desperate struggle for votes. Kevin Rudd even promised Q See Mungo live at to leave the scheme untouched before the 2007 election, and it was the first, and just about the www.echonetdaily.net.au

Fraser quietly set about dismantling the system; when Labor came back in 1983 Bob Hawke had to re-invent it as Medicare. It took 13 years to put the Liberals back on the Treasury benches, and by then Medicare was too popular for John Howard to attack openly; so he promised to keep and improve it, while planning to undermine it by whatever devious means suggested themselves.

No immunity from opinions Vaccination is done by inducing bodily trauma. It is the antithesis of the original Hippocratic Oath that includes the words ‘never do harm to anyone’. Vaccination as a technology is a manifestation of the belief that nature is imperfect. There is no proof that nature is imperfect. There is no proof that the human body is not perfectly capable of healing itself providing it lives within the bounds of physical laws that provide it with health. We have created a world where food supply, water and air are compromised. Of course there will be sickness and disease in response to that. Traumatising the body with vaccination is a reflection of the trauma we daily place on the Earth and is symptomatic of a culture looking to cure symptoms rather than examine causes. A study based on a ten-year survey of government statistics in the US in 2003 concluded iatronic illness (illness resulting from medical treatment) was the leading cause of death in the US (Null, G, PhD, C

and other vaccine-preventable diseases are still highly prevalent and herd immunity is below any protective threshold. Fortunately there are many selfless and transparent organisations, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and thousands of dedicated and caring health professionals working to rid humanity of vaccine-preventable diseases and the immense consequent suffering. Although a relatively tiny minority, the voices raised against their efforts (such as the Journal of Natural Food and Health mentioned by Andy Holm), are of the shrill and often hysterical conspiracytheory sects which subscribe to a belief theory unswayed by all and any sound science that runs counter to those beliefs. They are the counterparts to the ‘Lord’ Moncktons of the climate change debate. That reputable journals, such as The Echo, give them air does much to undermine the work of good, selfless people and puts us and future generations at increased risk.

pivotal role iodine plays in the synthesis of reproductive hormones, why health authorities ‘recommend’ a daily allowance of iodine which caters for not much more than the needs of the thyroid gland, around 150 micrograms. I find it unsurprising women such as Claire have the infertility issues they are experiencing. Contrast this to the Japanese who consume at least 100 times this amount and and are found to be some of the healthiest people today. Because their glandular systems receive adequate iodine, the hormonal health of Japanese women is such that it is uncommon for

them to experience PMT in the course of their lives. I am aware of one woman who, after supplementing with iodine at levels similar to the Japanese, found this aspect of her health to be much improved and after a history of infertility issues is now happily two-thirds through pregnancy.

Goodbye koalas I’ve only lived in Bangalow for twelve months after selling my farm one hour inland from here. I thought I’d miss the native bushland around my old property but found a house

in the most treed part of town with the ubiquitous Bangalow palm, patches of rainforest and a corridor of old gum trees leading down to a park and creek with a small bat colony (getting bigger), a multitude of birdlife, pythons, water dragons and, best of all, koalas, and all this five minutes’ walk to town. However I won’t be seeing the koalas any more. One of my neighbours who’s just moved here from overseas decided that the gum trees on his property had to go, every one of them. I could understand the one near his house, but along the back fence abutting a small rainforest well away from his planned new pool? Why move to a leafy established area if you don’t like native bush or wildlife? Couldn’t he have moved into a new estate on the outskirts of town in a paddock? I rang Council to confirm if he had a permit to do this – he had. The council subcontracts the permit system out to a private company. I asked the lady at Council how the koalas are now going to move from one property to the next now that a huge chunk of their habitat is gone. She couldn’t answer that; all she could say is he ‘had a permit to cut every tree down.’ Stuart McIntosh

Long way to go Lots of people have congratulated me over my court success in relation to my multiple occupancy. I feel bound to acknowledge Jan Barham’s repeated informal hints that this outcome was possible; the old Jan Barham is still regularly visible when the mayoral robes are not in place. Conversely I must express my contempt for Council GM Graeme Faulkner who, having learned of Jan’s informal advisory role, claimed in a letter that ‘Council’ had advised me to take this approach. Of course there is still a long way to go. The validity of the MO does not mean that any cabins I might allegedly have on my property are now legal; any accommodation other than the original homestead and studio requires a building permit and needs to be located at the sites indicated on the consent map. What Council regularly does in situations where there is non-compliance is just to wait; sooner or later the landowner will apply to Council for approval of this or that. At that point the council will say ‘Allo, Allo. What’s this? It appears from the files that you have an unapproved alteration here, and you haven’t complied with XYZ either. Before we can approve your proposal I’m afraid you’ll have to fix up those existing problems.’ What this means for my property is that I might sell a couple of shares, but when the shareholder goes to apply for 10 February 14, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo

Letters/Pin This Up a building permit the answer will be something like ‘Ah yes but there are a few outstanding problems on this property.’ Even if there is no illegality there will be a demand that an updated septic system be installed, for example, and god knows what else. I’ve heard of cases where all the glass in the existing old homestead has had to be laminated, for example and all manner of other nitpicking. One reason I expect ongoing fireworks was the behaviour of the GM during the case. There was a side issue where a couple of documents suggested that I had four dwelling entitlements while others said six. I raised this with the staff and later I ran into Mark Arnold, who

agreed that six was the correct figure. When I asked whether Council could give me a letter to that effect to save time in court, he gave me a strange, sad look that said ‘That would be up to the GM.’ No such letter was forthcoming, surprise, surprise. I really wish that someone would have a long chat with Graeme Faulkner. I’ll certainly be having a very brief one with him once I become mayor in September. Fast Buck$

There are many horse riders in the local rural areas who ride on the roads and many motor vehicle drivers are unaware of the road rules for sharing the road with horse riders as outlined in the RTA Government Road Users Handbook p59, ‘Sharing The Road With Horse Riders: ‘Horse riders and horse drawn vehicles also have rights to share our roads. Watch out for ridden, driven or led horses. When you come across horse traffic remember: ‘Horses can be unpredictable so slow down and give them plenty of room. ‘Never sound your horn, rev your engine or pass a horse at high speed. ‘Slow down or stop if a rid-

er is having difficulty with a horse.’ I believe that many motorists are not familiar with horse behaviour and do not understand what constitutes a safe speed at which to pass a horse and rider. Drivers need to be able to stop quietly and quickly if necessary. Therefore the slower the better as this will give both the driver and rider more time to react and avoid the possibility of injury. Thank you to all the drivers who do slow down when passing a horse and rider; your patience, courtesy and respect are greatly appreciated. Corndale festival site are on page 12.

Issues at Parklands are not resolved in all minds The Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) might be satisfied with North Byron Parklands (Splendour) plans to deal with issues such as noise, traffic, flooding and the environment, as suggested in Jan Mangleson’s letter last week, but anyone who understands the issues is not likely to be satisfied.

Q

Consider evacuation procedures, for example, Parklands’ floodplain management consultant, Molino Stewart, finds that evacuation for a major event would take eleven to twelve hours and that evacuation would have to start well before the flood-causing rainfall event began to be successful.

Even if the flood was correctly forecast (how often does that happen), it would be hard to get people to pack up and leave before it started raining. If people can’t be evacuated in time (remember the carpark floods by up to 1.5m) they are expected to abandon their cars to the floodwaters and go to the refuge area on high ground. Once there, they will be supplied with food and water (so the consultants say) but ‘there will be no shelter available and there will be insufficient space to erect tents if all the people from a large event have been unable to evacuate.’ Since it could take two or three days for a large flood to clear and roads to be opened, these people could be stuck out in the open with no shelter from the rain for days. DPI, in their air-conditioned office in Sydney, might be satisfied, but I suspect the people in the middle of such an event would have a different opinion. Matthew Lambourne

cultural events which don’t have to rely on loud music events.’ What I said was ‘This shire is struggling to establish a cultural profile which does not rely so heavily on amplified music events.’ My comments were made in the context of challenging the Department of Planning’s criteria for a demonstrated need or justification for this development. I have nothing against amplified music events. But I do object to the Yelgun proposal, which would allow yearround use of the site for events ranging from 300 patrons to 30,000, and building to 50,000.

Q In reply to both Jan Mangleson and Diane Woods in relation to the North Byron Shire Parklands proposed festival site I have the following to say. Firstly, Jan, you had no right to represent the residents of Ocean Shores on this matter as the vast majority are opposed to this development but the fact that half the people walked out on you was due to your straying from the subject matter at hand and throwing insults and invective at a broadly represented community of people dedicated to the defence of their lifestyles. To Diane, a little more understanding of your position but the fact remains that the original ‘trial’ festival that you supported was not a trial for one festival. It was a trial for a proposed four major festivals and unlimited smaller ones. Exactly the same as what is being proposed now. The original decision by the previous council was then overturned in the Land and Environment court for the simple reason that it was found to be illegal. So it is a bit disingenuous of you, Diane, to now make it appear that you originally supported one festival only and if that was the case, you clearly did not understand what you were voting for at the time. Anyway, good to know that you now see the light, but contrary to your putdown of this community I raise my hat

<echowebsection=Letters>

to all of those dedicated people who have fought this development tooth and nail from go to whoa. In our street alone, we had five residents get up and speak against this proposal. I am very proud of them. Mac Nicolson

North Ocean Shores Q In light of The Echo’s editorial last week, I have noticed a consistent bias in your newspaper toward the development of the festival site at Yelgun. Let’s just look at last week. One thing research has shown about newspapers is that people often read headlines and the first paragraph or so of an article – they are therefore extremely powerful. Headlines on the front page of ‘Splendour objectors walk out’ and a sub-heading of ‘Denying economic progress’ are quite misleading at a glance. The article did not mention that speakers in favour of the site were given a very polite hearing by attendees except when the ‘facts’ they stated were patently insulting or untrue. Jan Mangleson was then given huge space in the letters section, with her letter published first, to put a slightly-betterthought-out case for the site than she gave at the hearing. The Echo video clip on YouTube shows considerable footage of the manager of the Yelgun site outlining his case, which he did not even give on the day, despite being on the initial list of speakers. How was this a reporting of the Public Assessment Committee (yes, Hans) hearings? So, Echo, is it about manipulation and control?

Amica Sanday

Ocean Shores Q Personally I find it difficult to imagine why anyone would support the North Byron Parklands proposal(s) however my disbelief becomes total when someone purporting to represent the Ocean Shores community stands up at a public meet-

ing and provides unequivocal support and then goes on to sermonise about ‘a very vocal minority’. Mrs Mangleson’s letter quickly glossed over the real, significant and justified concerns that local residents have concerning noise, traffic, flooding and the environment and fails altogether to mention any of the social impacts which will stem from having 30,000 to 50,000 people on the Yelgun site. But let’s not worry about these things; we will get up to 210 EFT jobs. She then goes on to suggest that if we asked the under 30s if they would support the Splendour Musical Tourist Trip and vote for a permanent festival site at Yelgun they would most likely respond positively. Surprise! Surprise! Unfortunately young people under 30 are in the minority in our community and population data suggest that very soon 50 per cent of our population will be over 50. So, Mrs Mangleson, we haven’t missed some generational equity in this debate. It’s just that misguided supporters of the Parklands proposal have failed to recognise the demographics of the Ocean Shores community. To refer to the objectors as a vocal minority is wrong; the silent majority in our community are the over50s, the vast majority of whom I would suggest do not want their community inundated with young ‘musical tourists’ and then have to put up with the accompanying adverse social, environmental and subsequent economic imposts. It is possible that the citizens of Ocean Shores need to take a greater interest in the machinations of the Ocean Shores Community Association and determine whether this small and vocal minority is at odds with the needs and aspirations of the wider community.

Beware counterfeit drugs The risks associated with selfmedication have been amplified by the ability to buy prescription, non-prescription and complementary medicines as well as ‘recreational’ drugs online, according to an article by Dr Ben Davies in the February issue of Australian Prescriber. Prescription and non-prescription medicines can be bought legitimately online within Australia, and prescription drugs may be legally imported into the country as long as regulatory requirements are met. However Dr Davies, from the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science in Adelaide, says that some medicines ordered over the internet may be counterfeits or contain

undeclared ingredients. ‘Some prescription medicines available online contain little, if any, of the active ingredient, meaning the product may not work as advertised,’ says Dr Davies. ‘Meanwhile, some “herbal”, “traditional” and “dietary supplement” medicines sold over the internet may contain undeclared chemicals or prescription drugs. ‘Marketing on the internet has not been limited to therapeutic drugs. ‘There is a growing variety of new recreational or “designer” drugs, and knowledge about their effects on users is limited.’ See more at www.australianprescriber.com. www.echo.net.au

There’s treasure in that trash at your local landfill ity prices. Because these prices fluctuate so much, one day it pays to mine landfills, the next day it doesn’t.

It’s time we started seeing rubbish a bit differently. Waste, whether it is organic or electronic, should be seen as fuel which can be harvested. Mining older rubbish tips, now known as ‘landfills’, could become a lucrative business and solve many environmental issues. Landfills contain methane gas for energy, compost for agriculture and high concentrations of minerals and rare earth elements from electronic waste dumped before recycling campaigns started. Rare earths are a group of 15 elements which have increased in demand lately as they are used in energy-efficient electrical items such as hybrid batteries and other electrical goods. Roughly 20 kilos are used in every hybrid battery and this is set to double in turn for increased efficiency. Jack Lifton, an independent commodities consultant and strategic metals expert, calls the Toyota Prius ‘the biggest user of rare earths of any object in the world’. China currently has a monopoly on rare earth production, around 97 per cent of the world’s supply. This is because they undercut prices in the 1990s and forced mines in many other countries to close. In June last year they halved

levels before landfill mining goes mainstream. However it is encouraging to know that it is starting to happen. Kate Pye is the education officer for Solo Resource Recovery. If you have any questions as to what is currently recyclable, please contact her on 6687 0455.

Financial services and products are full of terms and jargon that can confuse a rocket scientist, so I thought it may be appropriate to translate one particularly confusing area of superannuation and insurance into lay terms. TPD stands for Total & Permanent Disability. You may have seen ‘TPD’ on one of your superannuation statements, usually under the insurance section. If you become totally and permanently disabled to such an extent that you are incapable of working under the Any Occupation deďŹ nition (the deďŹ ning law on TPD), that is any occupation which you are reasonably qualiďŹ ed for by education, training or experience, you are then able to withdraw your super balance. If you also have TPD insurance in your super account with the Any Occupation definition, a successful claim on this policy will pay you the total amount of TPD insurance cover as a lump sum as well. Some issues can arise if you don’t have speciďŹ c job qualiďŹ cations as a result of education or training. As an example, if you lose the use of both legs, but only one arm, you may still be ďŹ t to work in certain mundane factory jobs that require the use of only one hand and very little thought. If that was the case, you may be unable to access your super or claim on the insurance under the TPD Any Occupation deďŹ nition! As most of you would know, laws prohibit you from accessing your super unless you satisfy one of the conditions of release which are generally as follows: t SFUJSFNFOU o BGUFS BHF Ă´ĂŽ MPXFS BHFT GPS UIPTF CPSO CFGPSF +VMZ ïáôÎ

EDEN AT BYRON If you love stylish pots but hate the weight of them, then you’ll be pleased to know that there is a great range of lightweight planter pots on the market now. They are usually made from ďŹ breclay, a blend of ďŹ breglass and clay, or from GRC (glass reinforced concrete). This makes them very durable and easy to manoeuvre. They weigh 30 per cent to 50 per cent less than a clay pot of the same size. This makes them perfect for small spaces, balconies, patios and courtyards. They come in a range of stylish colours, styles and sizes. Some have a slatelike ďŹ nish, giving them the charm of traditional stone without the weight. Others have a more sleek and modern ďŹ nish. Whatever your preference, there’s bound to be a lightweight pot to suit. Eden at Byron 6685 6874.

THE ORGASM AUDIT Every now and then someone will discover something that just makes your day a bit harder. All these years I thought it was just we girls who were multi-orgasmic, but it turns out that men are as well. It’s taken men centuries to find the clitoris, but it turns out they’ve got one as well. Well at least a metaphoric one, somewhere in their open loving hearts that, once stimulated, can lead to shattering orgasmic enlightenment. According to tantric teachers, and those who practise holding the ejaculation flame, our blokes are capable of two-hour-long fullbody orgasms. Great, just when I’d managed to knock sex down to a convenient 20 minutes, someone had to go and tell the fellas that they’re up for marathon moaning-and-groaning sessions. I have a new mantra for myself this year, and that is to keep an open mind. It’s not something that’s easy to do when you’re a sharptongued, hard-edged cynical bitch. I’m not a tantric person. It’s not that I don’t have an open loving heart, I do. It’s just that I have a life. A very busy, very, very full one. I’m at a presentation, listening to people talk about these extended

lovemaking sessions, thinking, what kind of life does that person have? Do they have any commitments other than pleasure? Do they wake up and think I’ll have a coffee, meditate, and then play with my genitals for a few hours? You see, I’d be well up for hours of lovemaking but the children want dinner. And then the baby wakes up every two hours (which is a bit inconvenient if you’re midway through a full-body orgasm). Someone will have a headache or period pains and require a hotwater bottle which will involve me in getting up and boiling the kettle. The baby will wet the bed. There will be at least one other child who is not mine sleeping over. None of the doors lock. The phone rings constantly. Sex must be had like field mice, quickly, and in a rapid panic, lest we creepy old people be discovered copulating by the young and beautiful who suddenly cry out ‘oh my god you are so disgusting’. It’s hard to reach a tantric peak when the spectators start chanting ‘Gross Gross Gross’. I don’t even know what a full-body orgasm is. I call it the FBO. Does that mean even your toes reach a climactic peak? Your teeth? Your hair? Your elbow? And why does it have to go for so long? What if there’s some sort of emergency and you need to be fully present, like the dog’s been run over and you need to get to the vet? Do you just sit there in the surgery, moaning in ecstasy, clutching your mangled pooch? That’s going to send a lot of unwanted messages. Why are people who have full-body orgasms, or claim to, so often such bad dressers? Is loose clothing a prerequisite for sensual arousal? I suppose when your heart’s open and you’re well connected you’re not worrying about your shoes. Although I have been known to

livemusic GANGA BACK World-renowned rhythmic didgeridoo virtuoso and world electronic fusion band Ganga Giri returns to Byron Bay for the first time since the release of his latest album Good Voodoo back in June 2011. A pumping, percussive, multilayered experience of complex grooves and raw natural sounds, Ganga Giri’s music is a melting pot of genres and cultures. Ganga mixes an array of tribal percussion (congas, djembe, bougarabou, Nigerian talking drum, mbira) and Indigenous flavours (didgeridoo and dance) into a deep-earth dance experience, fusing aspects of dub, dancehall, reggae and electro genres. Friday 24 February at Coorabell Hall.

‘Summer time in Australia. Is there any other place you’d want to be?’ Frontman Winston McCall comments, ‘For us it means a chance to hit the road in the country we love and play as many of those places we don’t get to stop at as much.

VALLEY FLOOR In brief, Valley Floor features Clay MacDonald from The Beautiful Girls/Angus and Julia Stone alongside Dan Briffa and Jesse Bailey from wellknown QLD psychedelic-rock band Rogerthat, and is at the forefront of a newly emerging genre coined ‘Jellyfish Roll’ – the three-piece’s sound is surf-punkblues-psych-stomp and has fast gathered a loyal following amongst coastal kids who like a dance-floor rummage, whilst still engaging an older generation who remember classic Australian acts such as the Easy Beats and (early) Hoodoo Gurus – among others. Valley Floor are a return to the 60s stomp music that, ironically, they only learnt about as they grew up in the 80s. Having bumped into each other many times touring the club and festival circuits of

crack out an FBO over a good pair of stilettos. I understand the heart connection. I think that’s intimacy, but why can we only connect with our hearts with deep, creepy, starey-eye sex? ‘Look at me, be present.’ Really, can’t I just turn the light off and think about someone else? And then you can do the same and then we can tell each other and we can both connect through our deviousness? Sometimes it all just gets so bloody earnest it feels a bit dishonest. One person talked about climaxing by just looking someone in the eyes. Wow. I’ve seen that done in a club in Sydney when I went to the toilet, but I think there was someone behind them with a large vibrating object. I have many questions, as I find the great orgasm audit fascinating. I recently discovered quite by accident in a bizarre vacuuming accident that I am multi-orgasmic too. But not in the way you expect. I am multi-tasking orgasmic. I have conquered the ability to reach orgasm while buttering toast, taking phone calls and standing in post office queues. It’s the ultimate solution for the sexual adventurer who’s a bit time poor. Keep your eye out for forthcoming workshops. I’m taking a less loving, more brutalising approach. Turn the whole lovey-dovey thing on its head. I’ve even got a name for it: Root Camp.

Read more of Mandy in her new book, What I Would Do If I Were You, available at all good bookshops. Australia, Europe and North America – Clay with The Beautiful Girls and later, Angus & Julia – Jesse and Dan with Rogerthat – the fellas quickly became friends and it was only a matter of time before they collaborated musically. Accidentally all ending up on the Gold Coast in 2011 that time arrived. And now they are Valley Floor. Saturday at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar.

AS THE BLUES FESTIVAL DRAWS CLOSER, SEVEN HAS A CHAT WITH ANGELIQUE KIDJO ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY CAREER AND EXTRAORDINARY HEART OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN.

SAN CISCO AND THE JUNGLE GIANTS MEET BUDDHA San Cisco were nominated amongst the crème de la crème in Triple J’s Next Crop Artists of 2012 as well as nominated for a Triple J Unearthed award. Their sophomore EP Awkward is slated for release on 3 February and features five new songs from the band, including a rousing cover of the Arctic Monkeys’ 505. They are joined by touring buddies The Jungle Giants. If the way The Jungle Giants welcomed in the new year is any indication they won’t stop in 2012 – playing a show at Brisbane’s boutique new year eve festival, No Years, and then playing the same night at Mooloolaba’s New Year’s Festival! They’ve had ears turned in their direction since being picked up by Triple J with their catchy hit Mr Polite , with matching inventive stop-motion animation clip turning a few heads in their direction. This impressive double header at Byron Brewery Buddha Bar on Thursday.

$ You have incredibly diverse musical influences and styles – how do you bring them all together? I never ask myself that question. I just follow my inspiration because I spent my childhood listening to all kind of styles from different parts of the world. It is just music, after all. The labels are only a marketing tool for the record stores! Why is Angelique Kidjo such an incredible creative melting pot? Well the credit has to go to my parents and my family. If I wasn’t raised in such melting pot of people visiting the house as I grew up in Cotonou, I wouldn’t be the artist I am today. What should we expect for your Blues Festival show? Lots of fun together, and if it rains, a lot of mud too!

new album Milk & Honey brings a fresh and exciting addition to the OKA catalogue. Featuring radio focus track Gorilla Villa , the 14-track journey was created from on-stage jamming and relaxed sessions at their home on the Sunshine Coast.

s r a t S WITH LILITH Venus in Aries wants things her way while Mercury/Neptune in Pisces schemes and dreams and retro Saturn in Libra asks the Valentine question: Are you happy about the balance of power in your relationships?

E ARIES: If cooperative ventures get a bit testy this week, keep refining your communications and working through disagreements with others towards creative solutions, rather than arcing up over people’s personal peculiarities. As Aries spiritual teacher Ram Dass says: We’re all just walking each other home‌ F T AURUS: The agents of change are in makeover mode, and as your structure-loving nature gets a hammering you’ll want to resist. But survival guidance suggests cultivating an appetite for change by imagining it as food, because aren’t you always willing to pursue new flavours and taste sensations? G G EMINI: This week’s people are affected more by feelings than reason and less by sense than sensibility, a code not easily accessible to mind signs like yourself. Tune in by taking time to dream a little, indulge your poetic side and address some of your own inner business. H CANCER: Personal politics are on this week’s table, with questions like: have your intimate relationships changed over the past year, or do they need to? Have any changes made been for the better, or could you be brokering compromises that benefit both parties more equitably? I L EO: It’s worth remembering this week that Leo

LEO GOES LIVE It’s been called ‘the greatest exhibition of the century‌ breathtaking and truly remarkable’ by the UK Telegraph, and Leonardo Live is definitely a not-tobe missed cinematic event. Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan is a sold-out, once-in-a-lifetime exhibition at London’s National Gallery, which had crowds queuing every day from dawn to snatch the few remaining tickets. In a first for movie audiences, the big-screen presentation of Leonardo Live gives art lovers the world over the opportunity to share in the excitement of viewing the unprecedented and historic exhibition in the comfort of their local cinema. It brings together the largest ever number of da Vinci’s paintings, including a never-before-seen painting. Filmed on the eve of the exhibition’s opening in November 2011, the screening is presented by art historians Tim Marlow and Mariella Frostrup, and is interwoven with comments from figures in the British art, dance, theatre and literature worlds. Leonardo Live screens at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday. Tix $18–$20, Adults and children $11.50.

rules the heart and moving beyond ego-speak to communicate from your own red centre. Restraining sharp remarks and critical observations mightn’t be all that easy, but if someone’s nasty remember that says more about them than whoever it’s directed at. J V IRGO: Don’t let people’s assumptions, irritating inconsistencies or general hanky panky make you cranky, because the more relaxed you are this week, Virgos, the more negotiable you’ll find others. Don’t buy into anyone else’s expectations of who you are, either – focus adjustment is their business. K L IBRA: Being the sign of polarities, Librans forever seek union as a resolution: common ground in contrasting points of view, solutions to conflicts, new ways to embrace paradox. It helps this week that your popularity’s peaking, doubts take a nosedive and new connections are delightfully inspiring. L S CORPIO: Secret agendas are pulsating away beneath this week’s seemingly well-intentioned surface, so if you want to read between the lines listen to whatever elephant in the room isn’t being discussed. And at crunch times, stretch to encompass more rather than shrinking to accept less. M S AGITTARIUS: This week presents you with ego clashes, power struggles, control issues, aggressive

Steady is the original ‘bent’ man of comedy. In 1968, Steady Eddy was beamed down from the planet Vegemite to interact with the general population of Earth. He soon found out that things were so much different from his home planet. Not only were humans physically inept, he also discovered they were very condescending to aliens. They tried to lock him away in a sheltered workshop but they didn’t take into account his willpower and thirst for life. He rebelled against the system by going out into the real world and becoming a standup comic! Steady Eddy worked at Sydney’s Comedy Store in January 1991. He first appeared on The Midday Show with Ray Martin in March 1992 after which there followed more than a dozen appearances. He was soon picked up by Steve Vizard and when he appeared on Tonight Live, Steady stole the show and ousted Steve from the host’s hot seat. In 1994 Steady pick up the Aria Award for Best Comedy Album. He’s scored a Mo Award and has performed to acclaim internationally. He is joined by comedic buddy S Sorrensen as support and Mandy Nolan as MC. Show starts at 8pm. Be there early to score a seat. 18 plus.

If Valentines day isn’t looking too flash, create a personal love fest to celebrate your own wow factor. N C APRICORN: While this week’s Neptunian communication style might drive you bananas (as in vague statements, unsubstantiated facts, forgotten promises or outright denial of prior commitments), remember that radical change is incessantly, relentlessly at work, this irritation will pass, and keep a smile on your dial till it does. O A QUARIUS: No matter how much your mind thinks otherwise, juicy opportunities and entertaining revelations are awaiting you this week, so activate them via the divine valentine of self-kindness. Nurture your overworked organs. Lavish love on yourself so it overflows onto everyone you meet. P PISCES: This week blunts your capacity for selfcritiquing, so ask for honest feedback. Then listen to what’s offered rather than resisting because honestly, what do you have to lose besides your blind spots and sabotage patterns? Time to crack open and let the light in.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR Love is not just a feeling, it’s an action too; emotional energies naturally become action if we follow them through. Being willing to face our fear gives us courage to move. Expressing our anger all the way brings us to forgiveness. Truly releasing into sadness we find the ability to surrender totally to life. Being full of joy we become naturally generous. And compassion simply is service. This is our map of loving: love is courageous, forgiving, surrendered, and generously in service. So here is our practice: to move through our emotional world deeply enough to not only feel love but to be loving, to open up the pathways from fear to love in movement, so that our feeling becomes an offering to the world around us. The Tao of Loving is a 5Rhythms workshop by Adam Barley (UK) from 24 to 26 February at St John’s Hall in Mullumbimby. Contact: Deva Nandan, email: 5rhythmsdance@gmail.com, phone: 0431 035 271.

Formed mid-2011, new Brisbane contemporary circus company Casus presents their debut work Knee Deep at the Byron Entertainment Centre. Knee Deep is an inventive blend of circus and modern media using traditional and contemporary circus techniques. Through this bold, quirky and captivating performance, the five performers explore the limitations of strength and fragility, journeying Knee Deep through moments of raw discovery, fleeting relationships and unexpected bonds. Casus gives new purpose and meaning to objects that are seemingly inanimate and brings humanity into circus through a breathtaking and fragile display of skills. The five-member ensemble of Casus bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in the circus and physical theatre industries, having performed extensively in Australia and around the world with C!RCA, The Flying Fruit Fly Circus, Polytoxic, and Briefs Collective. Thursday, Friday and Saturday with shows at 8pm with a special 3pm show on Saturday. Tickets: Adult $18, Children $12, Family (2A, 2C) $50. Bookings: 6685 6566

CHESS

Ian Rogers

Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm The Chess CafĂŠ award for ‘Book of the Year’, decided last week, went to the unheralded Invisible Chess Moves by Afek and Neiman. This award is decided by a popular internet vote, and as such, it is vulnerable to organised lobbying – which was precisely what one of the authors of Invisible Chess Moves did at the recent Wijk aan Zee chess festival. But lobbyist Yochanan Afek did have a point: Invisible Chess Moves is a terrific book and clearly the best of the three titles shortlisted by Chess CafĂŠ. The book examines entirely new territory: why certain moves completely fall outside the range of vision of even the best players. Contrary to the publisher’s claims, identifying blind spots is not the same as curing them but Afek and Neiman have chosen so many intriguing and surprising examples that it is easy to forgive a publisher’s attempt to sell the book as educational. The one Australian example in the book is typical and yet extraordinary.

The diagrammed position is taken from a game between David Smerdon (White) and Viktor Mikhalevski at the 2009 Queenstown Classic. Smerdon had been winning earlier, but now could find nothing better than 39.Nd7+ Kg8 40.Nf6+ Kf8 41.Nd7+ and the players agreed to a draw. Only later, when the game was keyed into a computer, did the players become aware that Mikhalevski, not Smerdon, could have won by meeting 39.Nd7+ with 39‌ Nxd7! 40.Rxd7 a2! 41.Ra7 Rh3! when White must lose a rook after either 42.Rxa2 Rh2+ or 42.Kd2 Rh1! 43.Rxa2 Rh2+.

How could Mikhalevski, top seed in Queenstown, miss something like this? Afek and Neiman have the simple answer: you cannot find what you are not looking for. Mikhalevski had been on the back foot all game and was relieved to have earned a draw. Winning was not to be imagined in such an endgame, so the winning line remained invisible.

SOUL GOLD JEWELLERY

February brings a range of new exhibitions on display at Tweed River Art Gallery, Murwillumbah. Visitors will be greeted by Paul Selwood’s Perspective Cutouts which provide a powerful illusion of massive blocks that many viewers literally have to walk up to and glance across the surface to confirm that they are, in fact, only an illusion. These are complimented by De Chirico’s Train mixed media works created by Stuart Cussons which hint at basic but familiar archetypes – with tensions, weights and structures. Hear Stuart Cussons speak about his work on 2 March at 11am. More wonderful portraits are to be seen in the Portia Geach Memorial Award. Join local artists Michelle Dawson, Nitza Flantz and Mahala May Magins as they discuss what being selected for this award means to them on 11 March at 11am. Another delightful new exhibition is Personal Space: Contemporary Chinese and Australian prints – featuring artworks by 25 Chinese and 25 Australian artists who work in the tradition of fine art printmaking. In sharp contrast are the beautiful watercolours and fine portraits of Bessie Gibson: an artistic life. If you haven’t seen it yet, there is still time to see the fabulous Jenny Sages: Paths to portraiture exhibition which ends on 4 March. The Gallery Café is a popular place to enjoy the fabulous views. Gallery and café open Wednesday to Sunday 10–5. 2 Mistral Rd, Murwillumbah. Phone 6670 2790, www.tweed. nsw.gov.au/tweedart

WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Soul Gold specialises in hand-crafted wedding and engagement rings through the newly formed WE DO! WE DO! has birthed itself from my love of metal making, soul essence of two people coming together and alchemy. Meeting a couple, talking story with them, gently finding the strands that weave their love together… this is inspiring. Images arise from where they met, how that was, the sounds, smells, sense of place, colours, feelings... From these memories come symbols, and with the help of the muse a bit of heat, lots of luck, great skill, some gold or jewels and gorgeous rings with heart and meaning emerge. Zoe can be found in her studio ph: 6684 5415 www.soulgold. com.au.

ARTISTS IN FOCUS THE ENDLESS SUNRISE Anyone that attempts to shoot a creative photo experiences that brief moment between the eye and the finger resting in anticipation on the shutter. All that matters is capturing that moment, a deductive process, a unique distillation of reality into your own personal vision. Now imagine placing even more significance on that moment when the elements of awareness, responsibility, circumstance, idea, technique and the serendipitous result in that single breathtaking image.

inspiring hope and making a difference for two fantastic causes; Positive Change For Marine Life and the Jonno Howell Photographic Scholarship Fund. Worx and Common Ground present The Endless Sunrise. On 15 January 2012 fifty local Byron Bay photographers embarked on a thirty-day journey to capture the perfect shot of our beautiful Northern Rivers sunrise for charity. Professional, amateur, aspiring or anyone with a camera joined what is now being coined as The Endless Sunrise Army to get up before first light to shoot the fiery ball of beauty as it rises upon the horizon. An exhibition of the sunrises will be on display at the Stone and Wood Brewery, Byron Bay on Sunday 19 February at 5pm. The exhibition will include live performances by M Jack Bee, Garrett Kato and Kyle Lionhart. Exhibits by all fifty photographers, Jonno Howell, ASP head photographer Kirstin Scholtz, Real Creative Design Studio, Alex Fring, Levi Tsanov, Rest Your Eyes Productions (Byron Bay ‘The Meeting Place’ filmmakers’) and Daniel Ridgley-Hewitt. Live artworks will be performed by Swedish artist Mikel

Nilsson, Melbourne-based graffiti artist Burg and Austin from Early Skateboards with the pieces being auctioned and raffled on the night. The Early skateboards boys will be putting on a skate demo with their new product line. All proceeds from the event go to Positive Change for Marine Life and The Jonno Howell Photographic Scholarship Fund. Tickets are $15 at the door. We hope to see you there!

Any Questions For Ben If the woeful A Few Best Men caused you to give up on the prospect of an Australian production team ever making a decent romantic comedy, then let me reassure you – it’s safe to go back in the water. Director Rob Sitch, with his co-writers Santo Cilauro and Tom Gleisner, has delivered one that exudes charm, wit, and that most elusive ingredient, naturalness. It’s a pleasure, too, to see a local film with a budget bountiful enough to let it fly beyond the stifling

e r view

confines of ‘quaint and quirky’ (has that latter overused adjective veiled a score of sins for too long or what? And why is it necessarily ‘American’ – understanding that to be a pejorative – to include a nocturnal aerial shot of one of our own great cities? Melbourne by night adds to the lustre.) Understanding that it is the rom rather than the com in rom-com that wins the day, Sitch never tries too hard for the laughs and thankfully resists the tired old reliance on whacky characters. The acutely observed humour comes easily – Sitch’s own cameo as a school principal is a little

gem – the pacing, jumpy at first, moves seamlessly and the performances, without exception, are perfectly weighted. The story is simple enough – Ben (Josh Lawson) lives the life of Riley as a high-flying metrosexual in the world of marketing. He’s got it all, but when he reconnects with gorgeous Alex (Rachael Taylor), a former school associate now working for the UN in Yemen, it begins to dawn on Ben that there might be something missing from his otherwise carefree existence. This sense is reinforced when his friends Nick (Daniel Henshall, a million miles from Snowtown ) and Emily (Felicity Ward) get married. Like all of us, Ben needs love. The proposal of marriage, when it comes, is rather too close for comfort to Colin Firth’s in Love Actually, but the pay-out with the archery joke at the end captures the joy. See it not because it’s Australian, but because it is a terrific movie. ~ John Campbell

Safe House Have you seen that ad in which Ricky Ponting is flogging Swisse vitamin supplements? The words don’t exactly roll off Punter’s tongue, do they? That’s who I was reminded of by Ryan Reynolds in this cacophonous and terminally boring no-brainer. Reynolds, the bone-headed mouth-breather, is Matt Weston, a lower-ranking CIA operative in Capetown. Into his uneventful tour of duty, in which he is meant to be manning a safe house for other undercover types, comes Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington), an indestructible and rat-cunning agent who is wanted by just about everybody on the planet. The first and (always) correct assumption is that, because it’s Denzel, Frost is a good guy, so that’s a given. Having injected into his leg top-secret micro-files that will change the trajectory of global affairs, the poor fellow is being pursued by a mob of unidentified but ruthless killers (I’m guessing that the bloke with the hooked nose and leather jacket was from Mossad). In the noisiest and most chaotic opening to any actionpacked adventure that you will ever be subjected to (even FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

Tony Scott, that champion of the school of rolling thunder, might choke on his Red Bull), the body count soars as director Daniel Espinosa goes for gold in prangs and shootings. From then on it’s the usual string of stupid and implausible situations for our heroes. A personal peeve (it occurs ad nauseam in this rancid genre) is the scene in which there are thousands of people wandering aimlessly around a football stadium while the game is already under way – did they all turn up just to be extras in a crap movie? Car smashes aren’t quite so exhilarating in real life (Matt and Tobin walk away unscathed from one high-speed, ear-shattering collision) and, as someone who has never owned a firearm and is not turned on by gunplay (it’s called growing up), I am constantly baffled by how such high-octane rubbish still draws an audience. Matt’s French girlfriend is cute, but. ~ 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 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

<echowebsection=cinema>

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

Every Sunday morning sixty loaves of their bread run out the door of the Crabbes Creek General Store. And to think it all came about because Jon, a builder, was making brick ovens‌ Anyone who has been to the Mullumbimby Farmers Market could hardly fail to notice the set-up of Jonathon and Gina Hutton, portable wood-fired oven and all. Relative newcomers, they have already acquired a band of followers who cannot get enough of their slow-roast honey pumpkin pizza, or their prawn one, or the chicken one with Jon’s special ‘secret recipe’ sauce. They are still sliding pizzas into flat cardboard boxes by the time I arrive, at market’s end; there’s no sign of their bread, which sold out a long time ago. Hard to believe that this young, good-looking couple have, within the space of ten years, met, fallen in love, produced three children and established a flourishing little baking business – without any relevant background at all, unless you count Jon’s stint in a Thai restaurant in Sydney and Gina’s odd-jobbing as barmaid to supplement her profession as an art teacher. Hard to believe they can both look so positively relaxed, as if they are absolutely enjoying themselves, when you find out they have – or certainly Jon the baker has – been up since 3am. They met in Sydney at a bar where Gina was working, and bought a little camper van to travel around the country. In the area for Bluesfest they thought they would check out properties for sale. ‘As soon as we drove into Crabbes Creek,’ Jon tells me, ‘we decided we wanted to live there. So three months later we were up here. That was 2002 – we’d only known each other a year. We got married on the property.’ Making pizzas had started out as a way of putting Jon’s newly built oven to use as well as a social conduit: Friday night would see a gang of their friends standing around the wood-fired

The Bruns Brasserie’s newest addition is crispy crust pizzas. Daily selections include fresh grilled snapper, juicy steaks and bangers and mash. Gourmet coffees, Devonshire teas, freshly squeezed juices and delicious desserts are also available. Lunch and dinner bookings available on request.

oven with beers while Jon whipped out the homemade pizzas. He started playing around with bread recipes, eventually coming up with a formula that satisfied him. ‘Jon’s very clever with portions and mathematics,’ Gina says. ‘I’m the creative one who comes up with the interesting ideas!’ They trotted along thirty loaves to their local store ‘and they all went!’ Now customers from Pottsville and the Gold Coast will drive all the way specifically to pick up bread from Crabbes Creek. The couple have created a monster – they can never take Sundays off because it would be letting those people down. Pumpkin, macadamia and honey, and linseed are the varieties sold there, although their repertoire runs to about 13 different types of bread in all. Barring ingredients like flour, everything they make is locally sourced. Gina tells me that a lot of bartering goes on, either amongst neighbours or other market stallholders – oil and olives and mushrooms – and they also plunder from a small garden on their 50 acres, which yields herbs, tomatoes and spinach. Meanwhile Jon’s reputation spreads. He helped fix up the 99-year-old brick oven at Newrybar’s Harvest Cafe and is currently building a woodfired oven for Murray’s Place in Murwillumbah – where three nights a week he is also doing the pizzas. As for his market oven, it’s a marvel. Jon fitted out a flat-top trailer, building up a screen around it and an oven on top. There’s a washup bay and fire extinguisher and, to come, a stainless steel bench. Compact, clean and cute as can be. ‘This has all been really quick,’ Gina tells me. ‘Getting into this market, doing more and more functions – we don’t even have our website yet!’ So you will simply have to go along in person and taste their wares – Mullum Farmers Market or Crabbes Creek store on Sunday mornings. Just get there early.

1. Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight contemplate the mean streets of New York in John Schlesinger’s 1969 classic Midnight Cowboy (ABC2, Saturday, 8.30pm). Voight plays a country boy who finds himself broke and exploited while Hoffman is the street-smart New Yorker who, in a sublimely sad ending, helps his friend escape the city. Memorable also for Harry Nilsson’s song, ‘Everybody’s Talking At Me’. 2. Dame Judi Dench goes the biff against Cate Blanchett in the claustrophobic hothouse melodrama Notes On A Scandal (TEN, Sunday, 10.30pm). Blanchett’s teacher has it away with one of her pupils and Dench, who knows the secret, uses it to manipulate the younger teacher. Bill Nighy plays the cuckolded husband. Of course it all ends in tears when the proverbial hits the blackboard.

Mullum futsal champs in rep team Eight boys from Byron Shire competed in the Futsal Far North Coast Representative team that last weekend were crowned the Under-11 Futsal Champions of south-east Queensland for 2012. This is the first time a NSW team has won the Championship in any junior age division. All of the boys, Jarrah HallHart, Zak Sezer, Alex Fourcard-Roptig, Ethan Zikhron, Dylan Baker, Marc Starrett (gk), Kurt Ruehe and Callum Wilson play their club Futsal in Mullumbimby in competing teams. A year’s worth of intense training under Brazilian mentor/coach Vinicius Leite and assistant coach Tim Knight paid off when the team found their top form, thrashing their arch-rival, the elite rep Brisbane City team 7–3, after relaxing off from a dominant 5–0 lead at half-time. The grand final was the cul-

mination of the annual Qld Summer Futsal League tournament that runs from November to February, with the top rep futsal teams from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast and northern NSW competing in 11 discrete age groups from Under 9s to open women and men. The far north coast had

sal trainers under director of coaching Vini Leite give FutsalFNC teams an edge despite the relatively small pool of potential players to choose from on the NSW north coast compared to regions like Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. Remarkably though, more than 100 players currently compete in the Mullumbimby High School hall on a weekly basis from U8s to men’s with many hundreds more from the six other FutsalFNC centres in the far north coast region. FutsalFNC expects a huge increase in futsal interest in Byron Bay itself when the new Byron Sports Centre at Ewingsdale finally opens its two deluxe indoor courts to competition in a few weeks. Meanwhile the young champion players from Mullumbimby are setting their sights on their next goal: NSW state championships, and are looking forward to their next two-hour training session with their beloved coach Vini.

His underlying spirit and his colourful language kept the staff in Crystal on their toes and they both loved and admired him; as did all of us who knew him well. “Gazzy, I’m so relieved that you are finally pain free. It has been a great honour to care for you until you can now fly with the angels. Your spirit will live on forever in those who loved you.” Mop (Kathy Lane) WHITE DOVE FUNERALS 6680 3084

Comprehensively covering the Far North Coast

More Queenslanders are coming! Relocating Queenslander houses is having a huge resurgence in popularity in the Northern Rivers. People looking for the town-and-country lifestyle are now embracing these beautiful traditional homes as a much more viable and ecological option than building a new home. ‘To replicate an old Queenslander with the same style using the same building materials with today’s labour rates would cost a fortune,’ says builder James Beard from Eco Sphere sustainable building and design. ‘Today kit/project homes are made from treated pine, concrete and brick. Treated pine is a known carcinogen and concrete and brick both have a high embodied energy which is not great for the environment. Queenslanders were built to last and you can really feel that when you work with them’. Realising the dream of owning a rambling old Queenslander with breezy verandas, soaring ceilings, wooden floorboards and stained-glass windows can be achieved by simply relocating a house directly to your chosen block of land. Be it a large rural site or a small block with town services, Queenslanders are now being encouraged by most

councils as they help maintain the heritage and aesthetic value of the shire. ‘Relocating a Queenslander can be an enormously rewarding experience; however, being fully informed is essential to a successful venture,’ says Kendall Casey from Heritage Designs and Management. ‘With good management and planning it can

be a very cost effective and time efficient way to own a fabulous home. The skills of the relocation companies that we work with are just excellent, you would be hard pressed to pick that the home has even been relocated.’ Arthur Redhouse from Redhouse House Removals says, ‘We are getting some absolutely stunning examples of Queenslanders

that have been maintained meticulously over the years. It’s just great to know these houses are being resurrected for future generations to live in and enjoy’. If living in a house that has history, character and charm is what you are looking for, relocating a Queenslander might just be for you.

The forthcoming federal budget should deliver a long-term strategy that meets the housing needs of all Australians according to the Residential Development Council. ‘High housing stress as identified by Australians for Affordable Housing/NATSEM shows that affordability remains low. The reality is that we are supplying fewer homes while demand continues to increase. We need to look at the whole of the housing sector and the importance of home,’ said Caryn Kakas, Residential Development Council (RDC) executive director.

‘We have called on the government to include in its forward estimates the establishment of a growth fund that embraces the government’s own competition style policy. This would create a competitive tendering process across all housing sector providers to ensure the delivery of innovative and affordable housing outcomes. ‘The government should also make a long-term commitment to the future of the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) by guaranteeing a further 50,000 incentives in its forward estimates.

‘There is no doubt that the government has already done much to redress more than a decade of housing neglect through the provision of a $5.6bn stimulus to build 19,300 homes across the country. However, Commonwealth funding must begin to increase if we are to ensure that history is not repeated. ‘We support Australians for Affordable Housing’s request to increase the Commonwealth Rental Assistance allowance by up to $25 per week to lift 100,000 Australians out of housing stress. ‘It is crucial that any longterm strategy to increase the

delivery of housing also removes the impediments to supply. These include the forward funding and timely delivery of infrastructure to communities; ensuring the adequate supply of land for housing; unlocking urban renewal opportunities; and streamlining planning application processes. ‘Housing is a fundamental issue for all Australians. The government’s budget should reflect this and build upon previous commitments to improve housing outcomes.’

Backlash While the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (http:// www.pac.nsw.gov.au/) mulls over a decision on the proposed festival venue at Yelgun, Splendour In The Grass returns to Belongil Fields for this year, much to the disappointment of Allan Sutherland, mayor of Moreton Bay Region, within which Splendour was last held. Youngsters not familiar with the original Splendor in The Grass 1961 film of sexual repression, love, heartbreak, and manic-depression – all good things that youth know about – can catch the gorgeous Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty in action at http://bit.ly/4qzOoZ.

On February 17 the federal environment minister Tony Burke will announce his decision on whether the koala is to be listed under the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Bizarrely enough, the koala is not listed as a nationally threatened species under federal legislation. There are now less than 80,000 koalas. You can engage Mr Burke’s mind on the subject at tony.burke.mp@aph. gov.au, tel: (02) 6277 7640, fax: (02) 6273 6101, Twitter: http:// twitter.com/tony_burke or Facebook www.facebook.com/ tony.burke.mp. You can see some protest doggerel on the subject by a person in a koala suit at http://bit.ly/z86go4. Q Q Q Q

The continuing problem of traffic parked illegally in McGoughans Lane, Mullum – where the Echo editorial office enjoys exclusive views of the men’s toilet from a height – came to a head last week when a truck, we assume manoeuvring to get past said cars, scraped into the historic NAB building, dislodging a good percentage of the bricks around a window. This resulted in two RTA lollipop men controlling traffic while the brickwork was

What else would you use a pot hole for? Twenty-five years ago, when it was just a wee A4 paper, The Echo ran a photo and caption on dope plants that had sprung up in the street blisters in Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby.

While we’re banging on about cars, Backlash would like to congratulate the woman in the large black Audi SUV for her incredible dexterity in tailgating his car in a 50km/h zone while simultaneously chatting madly on her mobile phone. We’re sure her young child in the passenger seat was suitably impressed, too, and we hope she wasn’t late for her Pilates/ coffee/yoga appointment or the meeting of the Byron Shire Tossers Society.

Following news of animal cruelty in a NSW abattoir, SMH asked its online readers: ‘Knowing this is where your hamburger comes from, does this change your mind about eating meat?’ The poll result was pretty much divided between Yes and No, with only two per cent ticking the option
