Byron bids for ‘mini’ bypass Luis Feliu

A long-awaited plan for a ‘mini’ bypass of Byron Bay’s busy CBD, using a second rail crossing, has been approved by Byron Shire Council. The push will allow access to state funding, says mayor Jan Barham. For years, increasing traffic and gridlocks, especially at the town’s entry, have angered and frustrated locals and visitors alike. Thankfully the urgency of the problem appears to have stirred both levels of government into action. Recently, Ballina MP Don Page, who is both the minister for the north coast and local government, asked Byron Council to finalise a plan in order for him to be able to push for funding.

Allocated $50,00 for plan Council seized the chance and last week gave the green light to the bypass which will connect Butler Street with the busy intersection at Jonson and Marvell Streets, creating a second rail crossing south of the railway platform. Cr Barham said the key to the solution was the second rail crossing, which straddled state government railway land, but state government funding is also vital for the project. As a kickstart, Council has allocated $50,000 to draw plans up for the second rail crossing which Cr Barham

said would ensure the project was ‘shovel ready’ once state money was available. Council has also decided to trial the new traffic arrangement to ensure its effectiveness. The mayor said a project reference group (PRG), made up of community members, councillors and staff, had also been formed to consider and recommend other options to make the town centre user friendly such as park and ride, cycleways, parking and township ‘connectivity’. The second rail crossing, or minibypass option, was endorsed in a major traffic study in 2008 as the best way to smoothe traffic circulation and ease congestion in the town centre. Byron United (chamber of commerce) president Paul Waters welcomed the move but said a few other related options to ease congestion had to be part of the project to make it work. Mr Waters said the suggestions, aired at a recent traffic and parking forum he was part of, included realigning the roundabout opposite the police station using two lanes in and out and building a southern access into the Lawson Street north carpark. He told The Echo he had faith in Mr Page delivering on funding and these extra works would not add very much to the overall cost of the project of around several millions dollars.

Dancing Tommy now viral

‘I’m in the business of making people smile’ is the opening line in one of Tommy Franklin’s YouTube clips, many of which have reached over 10,000 views as the local lad becomes viral. Tommy has found his recent passion to groove is getting him invites to interesting places, including the Sydney Tropfest and the Bondi Rescue film set where Tommy will show the lifesavers a few moves.

Ballina mayor’s vote decisive for Lennox land sale Luis Feliu

Ballina mayor Phil Silver used his casting vote last week to push through a controversial plan to sell two beachfront blocks of public land at Lennox Head to an adjoining caravan park. The vacant blocks, opposite the Lennox Head-Alstonville Surf Life Saving Club, will be sold to the Lake Ainsworth Holiday Park at a cost of $1.3 million. In a surprise move, general manager Paul Hickey left the room before the debate after earlier declaring a conflict of interest because of his friendship with the administrator of the North

Coast Accommodation Trust Jim Bolger. Mr Hickey said the conflict of interest was non-significant, nonpecuniary but perceived. He and Mr Bolger had worked at Byron Shire Council nine years ago and they had also been involved in a joint venture investment of a unit which was sold two years ago. Cr Jeff Johnson, who moved a rescission motion, said Mr Hickey had brokered the deal and had earlier told media he had no conflict of interest. He urged councillors to defer the sale of the ‘strategic community land’ until after the Lake Ainsworth precinct management plan, which was

10 years old, was reviewed. Cr Johnson said his motion did not rule out a future sale, but the land would be needed as the area was already very congested and it could be used for parking or open recreational space. He said Lennox Head had a population of around 6,000, which would grow to 22,000 with the new housing developments planned for nearby Cumbalum, putting more pressure on an already congested area. Cr Silver said retaining the land would not give the shire an economic ‘yield’ as it would be sitting on an ‘idle asset’ while community infrastructure ‘dries up’ and council was ‘very

fortunate’ that the state government, through the NCHP, wanted to buy it to expand the Lake Ainsworth caravan park adjacent to the land. Cr Jeff Johnson said afterwards that while other councils were fighting against the takeover of public land by the state government-owned caravan parks, ‘Ballina Council is handing it

to them on a plate with a discounted price tag.’ Lennox Head Chamber of Commerce president Louise Owen was set to appeal again to councillors not to sell the blocks before the meeting, but was unable to attend because of a serious head-on car accident near Casino on Tuesday which has left her in hospital.

Correction from code of conduct story Last week’s story ‘Byron Shire Council’s internal squabbles go public’ claimed that the case reviewer, Kath Roach, is a lawyer. She is in fact a consultant. Additionally, ‘What is irrelevant’

was mistakenly published instead of ‘What is relevant,’ regarding the general manager’s concern that he ‘has not been advised as to the detail of the complaint [against him] or the outcome of the investigation.’

Byron Shire Youth Council presents

A miracle is what Michael Williams calls his 11-month-old daughter Gypsy River. At 2am on Februrary 27, 2008, the fishing trawler Sea Rogue capsized about seven nautical miles off Byron Bay. The crew of three, Michael, John Jarrett and the Sea Rogue’s captain, Alan ‘Charlie’ Picton, escaped through a cabin window, suffering chemical and fuel inhalation. The vessel then sank with all safety equipment in pitch dark and the men remained together using a fish-sorting tub to keep afloat. It was at that point he wished that like the two other men he was with, he had a family and children of his own. He imagined the possibility of perishing at sea. Then he began to swim. With the vessel not expected back at Yamba until Friday afternoon, Mr Williams decided to raise the alarm. Michael was last week awarded a bravery medal for his actions in the 2012 Australian Bravery Awards in the thirty-seventh anniversary of

Bravery award recipient Michael Williams and daughter Gypsy River. ‘One minute I am a deckhand on a fishing trawler and the next minute I am thrown into the media and being beamed around the world.’

the Australian honours system. After 14 hours of swimming and 16 kilometres of ocean between him and the shore, much of Michael’s trial was yet to come.

Swam for 14 hours The first couple to see him drag himself up onto the beach thought him mad or drunk and ran off. It was the next person, a woman, who helped him and raised the alarm. Sadly, Charlie succumbed to the water. Michael says that he and Charlie had gone to school together and were good mates.

Michael also has had physical difficulties to contend with as a result of the accident: he has had a hip replaced and the other side will be done in the near future and he suffers from pain down his legs. Michael says that there have been many expectations of him since he crawled onto New Brighton beach, from the media literally fighting over him in his hospital bed to what he should be doing with his life now. ‘I am not the biggest talker you know. People don’t always understand that I am not a

chatty, talkative person and it has been a bit hard to connect with some people.’ The wreck has reportedly been found off Brunswick Heads and a group plan to try to dive it later this year. He says he will be very interested to see photos of the vessel. Michael feels that there was an inexplicable benevolent energy watching over him, if not protecting him, during the mammoth swim to shore. ‘I knew that I could do it physically but there was a lot of other things that could go wrong. I didn’t see a single shark or anything else the whole time I was swimming. ‘I felt something. I don’t know what it is but it made me feel like there was something out there that cared about me. ‘This does make me feel that I am here for a purpose. ‘My training and karate and watersports helped I think, but sometimes I wonder if I was training all my life for this. Michael has yet to thank the mystery woman who helped him on that February afternoon. Anyone with information about the identity of the woman can contact The Echo.

Music policy redraft may still be overturned by state Chris Dobney

Byron Shire Council has announced a new draft major event clause for its Local Environmental Plan (LEP), despite the fact that it could be overruled by the state government within the 36-day exhibition period. The policy largely mirrors the one that attracted 3,500 submissions last year, and allows for only two major events (with crowds of more than 6,000 people) per year in the Shire. The main change is that single-day events, which were previously excluded, are now also included. Council’s executive manager of environment and planning, Ray Darney, told The Echo, ‘Council’s position varies from the staff recommendation on that point’. He added, ‘the intent and

thrust is that the community and council believe that only two major events are sustainable both economically and socially in Byron Shire and we should be encouraging smaller events in between that are well supported by the community and cause less impact.

Splendour is different But Splendour and the management of its proposed new home, North Byron Parklands, (NBP) have already taken their application for up to three events per year to the state government and the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) is due to release its decision shortly. NBP manager Mat Morris dismissed the council’s move in a few brief sentences. ‘This does not relate to North Byron Parklands. We have our own application, which is be-

ing processed at present. We hope it will be finalised soon,’ he told The Echo. Mr Darney admitted it would be difficult to get up the amendment if the PAC ruling came down on the side of NBP’s proposal. ‘A decision favourable to the full extent of the Splendour site would make our position of trying to put it in place in the LEP legally quite difficult. ‘We’re hopeful that the Splendour approval will limit that site to only one major event [per year],’ he said yesterday.

Draconian: Bluesfest If NBP’s reaction was low key, Bluesfest’s Peter Noble was not. He described the policy as draconian and probably illegal. ‘There is nowhere else in Australia, and probably the world, where a policy of this type exists,’ he told The Echo.

‘Why we would have an events policy that would only affect music events? Councils all over Australia and most normal people actually like music. They don’t try to stop it. Byron Shire Council knows the policy is illegal. That’s why they’re trying to ally it to an outdated LEP.’ He questioned why the council, which is close to the end of its term, would be putting up the draft clause again. Mr Noble said the policy would not pass the Trade Practices Act and would probably be rejected by the state government. He said he had offered many times to speak privately to the mayor about the issue. ‘I have asked Jan Barham to discuss this with me for more than six months. ‘I haven’t heard back. Why are the Greens anti-arts? It makes no sense.’

Blue Rock mentoring now seaworthy

Busy weekend in Byron Bay

Police were kept busy in Byron Bay over the weekend. Inspector Darren Steele from the Tweed-Byron Local Area Command says that on Friday evening, officers were called to the Tallow Beach carpark where about 300 youth had gathered. ‘A minor altercation had occurred at the car park and things were beginning to brew so we moved everyone along’. Inspector Steele says the group dissipated peacefully. A few hours later in Railway Park a man received a laceration when he was struck on the back of the neck. Apparently the man was intervening in an altercation in the park; police are asking that anyone Matilda and Eadie Mayson got a dolphin’s eye view of the cape when they and about 20 other who saw the incident at around Blue Rock youngsters and their mentors took to the bay in Kayaks. The Blue Rock Foundation 1.15am on Saturday to contact is a national mentoring program for young people, founded by former UNCLE project cothe Byron Bay police or Crime ordinator Mark Gasson.

Some of what Council did last Thursday Bangalow skatepark New Brighton oval

Street camping

Bangalow looks likely to proceed with a skatepark after $180,000 was allocated for the design and construction of a skatepark at the Bangalow sportsfields.

New signage will be erected and a new definition of camping has been announced by Council. Council say it will enable rangers to tackle street camping. Camping is now defined as ‘Where any place is used as recreation, or on an outing or vacation the use of that place by a person or persons lodged in a tent or any temporary structure or other means of shelter or accommodation.’ Council says the new definition will not affect

Broken Head Hall Council will assist the Broken Head Hall Committee in redesigning the car park and access. They will also help fund the necessary passing lane in Midgen Flat Road.

Council has approved the use of lighting for Tuesdays and Thursdays for the month of April to allow training to occur for the New Brighton Soccer Club. Any negative impacts on fauna and amenity during the month will be closely monitored, and the lights will be off by 8.30pm. It comes after public access, where neighbours were critical of the ‘distruptive’ lighting that is used for soccer training.

people who sleep in their cars due to homelessness nor people travelling through who need to rest due to illness, tiredness and or intoxication. However homeless advocate Michele Grant says defining campers and the homeless will be difficult. ‘How will rangers spot the difference? The whole definition exercise is fraught and totally futile. Authorities need to address the anti-social behaviour, not the van type.’ Q See editorial page 10

Byron koala habitat fragmented Luis Feliu

A new study has revealed that around 240 koalas live in the coastal part of the Shire from west Byron to Brunswick Heads. It reports the ever-increasingly fragmented habitat can affect the iconic marsupial’s survival. The study shows koala numbers were ‘extremely’ low north of the Brunswick River, where more people live in Ocean Shores and the surrounding urban area. The Byron Shire Council

study found out how many koalas there are and where they live and its data will be presented to the community next Wednesday, April 4. The Byron Coast Koala Habitat Study surveys koalas across the coastal strip of the shire in an area of around 13,800 hectares and is the first stage of developing a comprehensive Koala Plan of Management. The study, which includes analysis of 1,471 koala sightings plus a comprehensive field survey, estimated that 240 koalas

lived in areas from west Byron to Brunswick Heads. Council’s natural environment team leader Angus Underwood said that although the study showed koalas were currently more widespread across the Shire than in the past, their habitat was now highly fragmented which affected their survival rate. ‘This has resulted in isolation of populations which can negatively impact on their long-term survival,’ Mr Underwood said. He said koala numbers

north of the Brunswick River were ‘extremely low’. Mr Underwood said knowing how koalas use the landscape as well as the condition of their habitat was vital for biodiversity planning and land management to support koala colonies. Ecologists from Biolink consultants will discuss the results of the study and koala conservation at the upcoming free seminar from 6pm to 8pm at the Mullumbimby Council Chambers on April 4.

Ewingsdale complex – new timber floor to be replaced It will be eight weeks before the new floors of the newly opened sports and cultural complex will be able to be used by sporting groups. The announcement by Council came after final inspections of the complex and the builder’s concerns about the floor. Mayor Jan Barham said, ‘While this is not what we wanted to hear during the building handover phase, we have a positive solution.’ Negotiations on the cost

recovery on the Ewingsdale roundabout repairs, after its failure in 2011, are also still in progress, say Council.

Electro-energy earth transfer invention shows promise Hans Lovejoy

An inventor from the NSW central coast has been working on three Nikola Tesla patents that could could see large-scale electrical transfers through the earth without wires. Keith Howard has developed a small-scale prototype, which works between two coil transmitters, and last week his team set up a demonstration in a shed in Ewingsdale. Inventor Ric Richardson has also taken an interest, and invited ABC TVs Australian Story along. The TV show was there to follow up on his recent out-of-court settlement with Microsoft and also to cover the invention. ‘The technology is based on Tesla’s original conceptual work in 1899,’ says Ric. Inventor Keith Howard says,

www.echo.net.au

‘It revolves around three basic patents – the first is eliminating all electro-magnetic radiation, the second is getting power into a coil, of any size, with low voltage. And finally, connecting power to the ground and passing it through the ground.’

Based on Tesla patent Ric explains, ‘Like lightning, it transfers electricity into earth, and as earth has low resistance, electricity can be harnessed between transmitters.’ Local engineer, physicist and alternative-energy advocate Sapoty Brook attended the demonstration and told The Echo the inventor had a ‘lot of practical know-how.’ He said one thing he found interesting about Keith’s work is his idea about ‘coupling a Tesla resonator to the earth in a way that maximises the

transfer of power.’ ‘I don’t know if his ideas will be effective, but it certainly seems worth exploring on paper first. With over eight million US patents published it is not unlikely that someone has already tried at least some of Keith’s idea. ‘Anyway he only needs one unique concept to get a patent with a 20-year monopoly.’ He added that environmental questions could be explored once the basic parameters of a workable system are clarified. The inventor and his team are hoping to eventually achieve a 10km transfer when the full-size prototype is built. ‘We are not trying to sell it,’ says Ric, ‘but challenge people to get involved.’ He did concede that a working prototype ‘will cost a lot to develop.’ For more see www.gammachallenge.com.

Complaints against mayor dropped Hans Lovejoy

All councillors have voted to drop the mayor’s code of conduct case brought by the general manager. Put another way, one heated phone call from the mayor to a staff member cost the Shire’s resident ratepayers over $22,000. The mayor’s request for reimbursement of legal expenses of $4,411 also passed. In what at times were awkward moments at Thursday’s meeting, various members of the gallery and councillors made speeches while the gen-

eral manager sat – for the most part – silent. Cr Tabart was the only one applauded by the gallery for his speech, which in part said, ‘It is true that the Local Govt Act allows a staff report but is a report of this nature what they had in mind? Firstly, if it is supposed to be even handed, where is any mention [in Council’s agenda] of Cr Barham’s evidence – there is none – it is exclusively opinion and documentation from her accusers. ‘It is clear to me that despite pious protestations of process and probity, this staff report is nothing but a blatant hatchet

job designed to cast doubt on a decision the GM disagrees with.’ Cr Woods launched into a speech saying she wasn’t sure whether she was in favour or not but then said due process in local government needs to be taken.

‘blatant hatchet job’ ‘None of us were there and none of us knows what happened. The GM has an opinion and is entitled to it…’ whereupon mumbles of discontent erupted in the public gallery. Cr Cameron sided with Cr Morrisey over due process. ‘We need to make a judgment on

a number of parties… more people are involved, which is unsatisfactory. We the councillors make the decision, and we need as much info as we can if we are to be fair. ‘I find the report is short on information. In any other organisation there would be remedies without a political forum like this. We’re here to provide procedural fairness and nobody had that go…’ After further similar statements, Fast Buck$, aka John Anderson, sparked up from the gallery and bellowed, ‘Stop copping out and wanking on!’

The man accused of murdering Mullumbimby motorised bicycle entrepreneur John Foss has appeared in court. James Andrew Mitchell, of Nashua, was refused bail in Lismore Local Court yesterday

and is due to face court again by video link on April 17. Foss was cycling on Coolamon Scenic Drive when police allege he was deliberately hit from behind by a van on January 3. Mitchell has yet to enter a plea.

Lions Club needs a shed The Brunswick-Mullumbimby Lions Club are seeking community help in storing their new Driver Reviver Van. Secretary Tony Cornell says, ‘It is a lifetime investment to continue saving lives on our roads. It needs to have reasonable security either in town or out on a property with reason-

able access, anywhere within 25 km of Yelgun or Mullumbimby. ‘Our biggest problem is the size of the van, it’s big. It measures 7.5m by 2.55m wide and is 2.95m high. The shed should have an entrance 3.2m wide and 3.0m high. Call Tony Cornell 6680 2011 or tonylion@bigpond.com if you can help.

People moving from metropolitan areas to the Byron Shire will no longer be able to claim a $7000 state relocation allowance, following a request from Byron Shire Council. Byron mayor Jan Barham says Byron doesn’t need financial incentives to entice people

to move to the region and in fact the Shire is struggling to hold onto its population, many of whom are leaving because of lack of affordable housing options. ‘I think the idea was very good for people who are trying to get invigorated populations, but it’s not one needed here.’

Retrospect’s photo/fine art exhibit

Mick O’Regan’s dinner show The Bangalow Historical Society will play host to the first of a new series of bi-monthly dinner evening events, called The Inside Story. Well-known journalist Mick O’Regan will interview various ‘persons of interest’ who have helped shape the region. The first interview is with hemp campaigner Michael

Balderstone. Schooled at Melbourne’s Scotch College and groomed to become a London stockbroker, Michael later ‘saw the light’. The evening starts at 6.30pm in Bangalow, on Thursday March 29. Phone 6687 2183 to book. A two-course meal is provided by the Bangalow Historical Society and is BYO.

A showcase of new and emerging photo and fine art techniques will be on display at Retrospect galleries from Friday March 30 at 6pm.

courage more chipping in native forests, a view Oakeshott disputes. On Facebook AYCC tells its members: ‘Being mentioned in [Oakeshott’s] speech goes to show that this movement of young people – that’s you – has significant influence!! A pat on the back all around – what a win!’ The more exclamation marks, the bigger the win, I guess, but there’s still a long way to go before lobby groups get all pollies and ordinary punters to change their carbon-consuming ways. Some of the punters come to their own epiphanies and thus influence the actions of others. One such is Victorian IT professional Gavin Webber, who has just won the green blogger competition staged by the Alternative Technology Association’s (www.ata.org.au/) magazine, ReNew. Webber’s attractive blog, The Greening of Gavin (www. greeningofgavin.com/), came about after he was struck down on the road to biodeath by Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. ‘I was a conspicuous consumer before I saw the movie,’ says Gav. ‘It was a wake-up call. Why did I not know more

about climate change? I decided to do my own research to understand the politics and human side of it all.’ Gavin’s blog covers topics as diverse as the benefits of backyard chooks and the insidious influence of Big Oil. His quiet humour might change more minds than a handful of strident protesters could.

humans in a report in The Atlantic (www.theatlantic.com/): ‘… reduction could be one way to reduce a person’s ecological footprint. For instance if you reduce the average US height by just 15cm, you could reduce body mass by 21 per cent for men and 25 per cent for women, with a corresponding reduction in metabolic rates by some 15 per cent to 18 per cent, because less tissue means lower energy and nutrient needs…’ Smaller people is not a new concept, at least not in fiction. Dean Swift (1667–1745) had the Lilliputians, Scott Carey grows smaller in the film The Incredible Shrinking Man (http://bit. ly/fltrul) and scifi writer Kurt Vonnegut had the Chinese engineer themselves into a miniature race in his novel Slapstick, or Lonesome No More!. It certainly got the ethicists thinking – see The Guardian’s roundup of the Atlantic story and the vehement reaction to it at http://bit.ly/ytzQME. Q Q Q Q

Last week we looked at evolutionary catalysts as a way of preparing humans for climate change. But not to be outdone by Nature – that mythical beast we regard as somehow separate from ourselves – some scientists have suggested we can get out of our current troubles through geoengineering – placing giant umbrellas in space to ward off the sun, for example, or even releasing sulfur dioxide particles (!) into the upper atmosphere for the same effect. Anything other than cut down on our beloved consumption. It was only a short hop and a skip to then consider bioengineering, changing ourselves to adapt to the new climate. NYU professor S Matthew Liao (www.smatthewliao.com) raised the idea of downsizing

You remember, too, that last week the world as we know it was ending, at least according to the Arctic Methane Emergency Group (http://ameg. me). AMEG scientists have done their own lobbying at a meeting of the British All Party Parliamentary Group on Climate Change. Group chair, meteorologist Lord (Julian) Hunt, pointed out that ‘There is quite a lot of suppression and non-discussion of issues that are difficult, and one of those is in fact methane.’ Difficult in that we all might die? Scientists addressing the group also suggested ‘tech fixes’, including pumping cold seawater into the atmosphere. See the BBC report at http:// bbc.in/FOSVZ1. Q Mungo is on holiday until

Letters Bruns boarding house

Byron Shire Council did the right thing for the Brunswick Heads people by opposing the building of the boarding house for 34 units. If it goes ahead, where do you park 34 cars? Is it for long-term housing only? If it is short-term housing, then it’s maybe for backpackers, and with the village having no infrastructure for these tourists, it will become very popular and also it will change the character of the village forever. One only has to look at Byron Bay to see what impact these tourists have on a town with no infrastructure. Byron Bay’s rents have risen so high that three or four people rent one house then have to park their cars on the streets and with no industries there are no good wages to pay the rents.

LHPA rates oppressive With this year’s Livestock Health and Pest Authority (LHPA) rate notices now served upon many rural properties, ratepayers must again ask themselves why they should pay these concocted fees, mostly for services that are denied. Since 1980 I have consistently opposed these ridiculous demands by government authorities. After six court summons and an aborted auction of my 12ha rainforested valley in 2003, these qangos have now wasted at least $10,000 in costs over 32 years for a measly $1,700 from me.

In Lismore Court at 9.30am on Thursday March 29 I will appear yet again to defend my right to not be defrauded of my assets to support a self-serving, hubristic cattle qango who spend your rates on feathering their own nests before offering some tokenistic services that should be provided by the Department of Primary Industries, as in every other state. I hope others will support my stand. If you have no livestock, do not pay, complain to MPs and the bureaucratic bullies who run these authorities, and finally defend your rights in

court, for then the debt collector cannot come after your property. If you need advice on how to protect yourself from this extortion racket, visit this website: www.rurallandsgroup.net. Russell Preston

Supermarket plans

There seems to be much talk around town about the community purchase of our IGA including last week’s editorial (‘Tapping into our desires’ 20/03/12) and I applaud the controversy. It does seem to be a trait these days to be cynical and wary of the motivation behind something or someone with new idea and so easily we make judgments and decisions without fully investigating the issue. Perhaps scepticism is a good thing as naivety can sometimes lead to problems. I do believe questions are valuable and seeking answers imperative. As a friend and colleague of Greg Dutton, the creator of the Mullum community IGA proposal, I know that he has dedicated the major portion of his waking hours over the last few months to research, networking, seeking advice from trusted professionals, listening to ideas and criticisms while developing and funding this ambitious plan. Some of us love the idea of a

Translate care into action I was much heartened to read in last week’s Echo of Tim Silverwood’s proactive sailing through the North Pacific Gyre (the Great Pacific Garbage Patch). It’s wonderful for us ageing hippies to know that there are committed eco warriors out there carrying on the good fight to protect the environment and all its inhabitants against the carelessness and indifference of global consumerism. Every concerned citizen is now aware that plastic bags and disposable plastic water bottles are items to resist in our daily

lives, but one item consumed daily in huge quantities is the plastic milk bottle. Can you imagine how many go into the Byron Shire recycle bins alone every week? Can we really believe that all these bottles are recycled into something else? If you care about the amount of plastic being dumped into the environment, then please consider changing your milk purchases to cardboard containers. I know they don’t have a handle, I know they don’t come in large sizes, but if you really care, then surely these inconveniences can be overcome.

Perhaps the milk you buy doesn’t come in cardboard at all, and you can’t afford to change to one that does. Then contact your milk producer (or ask your kids to do it for you if you’re time-challenged) and tell them you won’t buy their milk any more if they don’t change to the more environmentally friendly practice of offering their product in cardboard. It’s great to care about these things, but unless your caring translates into action, then there’s not much point.

community supermarket. Some of us just feel it our gut that we can create a strong, resilient community by supporting this proposal and while we don’t fully understand how it’s going to work yet, we want to be proactive in creating the future of our town. The business plan, now in process, will be a collaborative agreement to create the best for our community because the people of Mullumbimby matter to Greg and his team. Their commitment to food security is very real. Their love of Mullumbimby is real. For those who are unsure, I suggest keep talking about the community IGA with your

family, friends, neighbours, ask questions, check out the web page (ourmullumbimby.org). Keep your hearts and minds open and trust that we can and we are developing solutions every day, together.

councillors. As far as the administration is aware, information was handed directly from one reviewer to the next; ie it was not passed on via council and council does not have copies. As was advised to the councillor’s solicitors, a request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 would have to be lodged to apply for copies of information the first reviewer supplied directly to the second reviewer; at this stage no application has been lodged. It can take time for matters referred for independent review to be finalised and they are often stressful for all parties concerned, regardless of the outcome. Until such times as the legislation changes the way in which local government manages code of conduct matters, council has a state-mandated process it must follow which is intended to ensure that fairness is applied for all parties concerned. The model code of conduct is currently under review by the department of local government. Management have made two submissions so far, both of which have strongly argued for responsibility for reviewing and investigating complaints about conduct of councillors or general managers to rest with an independent state body.

Jewish right

The letter by M Mizzi (March 13) is so riddled with inaccuracies and conspiracy theories one can but wonder at how out of touch with reality the writer is. Purely having something put in print does not make a statement true. Leaving these statements unchallenged sadly leads to distortions and falsehoods. Without giving readers a tendentious history lesson, it is important to state clearly for the record that the Jewish people have an unbroken 3,000-year plus connection to the Land of Israel. The Jewish right to Israel is not about force of arms, as Mr Mizzi asserts; it is simply about the inalienable right of the Jew-

Nationals fail constituents I am dismayed that the National Party is siding with large mining corporations in support of the coal-seam gas industry, rather than the people in their local electorates who have fundamentally rejected this damaging industry. Coal-seam gas threatens the livelihoods of local farmers by ruining farmland and contaminating underground water with chemicals. Moreover, the health of local families and our tourism industry will also be placed at risk.

Regional NSW has collectively said no to this industry, yet the government’s new Strategic Land Use Plan fails to exclude any areas from mining, and it won’t even apply to the Northern Rivers. We need a moratorium on coal-seam gas until it can be proven not to jeopardise the economic backbone of our region. The Country Women’s Association, the Nature Conservation Council and Farmers Association are calling for a

moratorium – so should the National Party. For the Northern Rivers there is little to be gained and much to be lost from allowing the coal-seam gas industry to operate in our region. To threaten our health and local industries is short-sighted and economically disastrous. It’s time Don Page, our state member, put the community’s health and farmers ahead of mining interests.

ish people to a Jewish state. Just as there are 56 Muslim nations and even more Christian nations, there is one Jewish nation. As for Mr Mizzi’s spurious contention that Australia’s support for Israel is blind, on the contrary: it is a relationship based on shared values, on mutual appreciation of the democratic way of life and on an historic and well-founded need to protect that way of life.

some propagandist at the CIA, because you know the only ‘evidence’ we have of his actually having existed are scratchy videos and pics and his convenient throwing into the ocean by the CIA and their military buddies. And starting a letter with a rhetorical question about someone’s mental state is simply nuts.

Council won’t be swayed by this kind of newspaper nonsense and continue to fund much needed cycleway infrastructure throughout the shire.

Les Einhorn

Coopers Shoot Q Funny how some people cherry-pick aspects of a letter to have their spray. Matt Hartley (Letters, March 20) seems to have totally ignored the gist of my letter regarding Israel and its relationship with Australia and its people and concentrated on the passing mention I made to the crusades to deliver a history lesson. No doubt he gleaned this historical knowledge from some codex written by a victorious Englishman, less likely a woman. Matt displays a common trait among many people in this country and that is the urge to have their say on a matter despite the fact that what they say has nothing to do with the matter at all. Calling someone a dickhead doesn’t really cut for sound argument; it displays an opinion and we know they are as common as anal sphincters. I suggest Matt read the letter again and realise it was about Israel, not the crusades or Bin Laden, who I contend is a fictional character dreamed up by

The unending chain of events Q Promoters Peter Noble and Jessica Ducrou have done very nicely out of this area, offered a monopoly each. Only two big events a year, and it was to be theirs. But it ain’t enough. Peter tries to muddy the waters by suggesting the Greens are anti-dancing, and the mayor won’t call him. Wake up, mate. She doesn’t call me either. She has to balance the community desire for events with the community desire, and ecological need, for those events not to be excessive. You

lished – or get arrested. Because it was indeed confidential information you asked The Echo to provide, The Echo’s editor was ready to go to jail and not break the trust he has in our community in regards to confidentiality, and so the council regretted and cancelled its subpoena. In return, I signed a statement that did not disclose any of the information your subpoena actually requested. The council also dropped all charges against our property’s owner, but only after he fought back while spending many thousands of dollars in legal fees, that I unfortunately can’t afford. (Any civil rights lawyers out there willing to give me some free advice?) When I asked our landlord why the council dropped these charges, he said he was legally not allowed to tell me or anyone anything about it because he had to sign a very strict confidentiality agreement. The council spent our ratepayers’ money to orchestrate a full-scale smear-campaign against me, the leaseholder, but is now putting a gag order on this agreement with the landlord. So what is it you are

trying to hide from our community? You put yourself as fighting this battle from the elevated position of being morally superior and righteous, saying that I was ‘breaching the mutual trust and respect that the members of a community must have for each other if it is to function property’. Then you go on to get your highly paid legal team to erect a veil of secrecy around legal agreements we are not allowed to see. Why are you breaching the trust and respect of our community, Mr Faulkner?

Nation Building Program

In the end it should really come down to a negotiated agreement between the Bluesfest promoters and the local Tygarah residents as to the size and quantity of festivals and events that could be held at the Tyagarah site. Peter has effectively sat down in their living room and started blowing his trumpet, so he should respect their tolerance levels. The council on the other hand has the unenviable task of trying to formulate a policy that has legal teeth. Somewhere in the middle

there has to be found a solution that respects the tolerance limits of local residents while ensuring that Peter and his Bluesfest are paid due respect for not running cap in hand to the state government to override council and enabling him to run a profitable venture. A clause that would give power to a residential group negotiating additions above the two-policy event that includes one-day mega events would be a sensible solution.

it seems pretty obvious that just patching the holes really doesn’t work as they reappear every time it rains except bigger and bigger each time. I think the residents of Ocean Shores could do with some road resurfacing urgently.

countryside is very rough, and several new bridges will need to be built, some more than 100m long. The new segment will reconnect with the existing highway south of Bangalow. It will cost about $760 million for about 17km, or about fortyfive million dollars a kilometre. (That’s $450 per centimetre.) You can get more details if you google ‘RTA Ewingsdale to Tintenbar’. Work on the project is slated to begin ‘sometime in the first half of 2012’. In my opinion, the principal reason for this ‘upgrade’ is trucks. Cars easily cruise up the hill, but trucks struggle up slowly. The interests of the big trucking companies, and the megacompanies that depend on them (like Woolworths) control the highway projects in Australia The big trucks want the easy highway, and that’s that. I think it’s crazy to spend all that money just so trucks can save a few minutes in their hellbent hurry to get to Sydney. I enjoy driving, and like to travel at a pleasant pace, on interesting roads, not bland frantic freeways. I don’t think the RTA agrees with me.

St Helena dreams

Debra Sparks wrote a denunciation of the new Pacific Highway project from Ewingsdale south past Bangalow. I agree with her letter, but I thought more explanation might be useful, because most of the people I talk to don’t even know it’s happening. As you know, when you drive south towards Bangalow, the current highway heads up a long slope which is ornamented with a 60km/h speed camera. Then the road curves up to the right to the top of the St Helena hill, then runs along the ridge and finally down past Bangalow (or into Bangalow if you take the off ramp). The new highway will not take this bend to the right. Instead, just after the speed camera, it will go straight through the St Helena hill, via a huge new tunnel. South of St Helena hill, the

Boys to men: crossing the bridge of male adolescence Misha Sim

As a mother, there is nothing more terrifying than watching your son journey across the bridge of adolescence. It matters not how many parental self-help books you have read, or how strong a relationship you have built and nurtured in the formative years because from the age of 13 onwards you will feel as if an alien has invaded his body and for a long time, you will wonder where he has gone. Nobody tells you that it is going to be this hard. Until my son was 12 years old, he was a gorgeous boy with a beaming smile and a happy-go-lucky attitude. He loved life and he loved his family, and he and I shared a very close bond. And then overnight that bubbly little cherub of a boy became al-

most unrecognisable and my role as a mother quickly went from answering questions about how the universe was made to keeping him out of danger and keeping him alive. There is no rite of passage in our culture to mark the difficult transition from boyhood into manhood. And perhaps because of this, our boys resort to engaging in risk-taking behaviour to assert their newfound masculinity. Weekly binge-drinking sessions, drug taking, getting into fights and driving too fast or drunk on our roads are all examples of young, male, risk-taking behaviour. The absence of positive male role models, and in many cases the absence of fathers, is also a real concern, particularly during these difficult and dangerous years when boys are in-

clined to pull away from their mothers and become more strongly influenced by their peers. From the age of 13 onwards, I had no idea how to reach my son. I tried being his friend and when that didn’t work, I tried being the disciplinarian and when that really didn’t work, I switched back and forth between the two.

through to the young male peer-group mentality. In so many ways, young men simply lack the emotional maturity to navigate through the world of adult behaviour – particularly risk-taking behaviour – and in this sense I think we are failing our young men by not providing them with the positive support systems necessary to transition from good boys into good men.

Letting go I love my son as much now at 17 as I did when he was a little boy; in fact I love him more. I know that he needed to pull away from me in order to assert his independence, and I know that I have done my job as a mother to the best of my ability in raising him from a good boy into a good man. What happens next isn’t up to me and that is the hardest part above all other parts about being a parent – realising that the time has come when you have no choice but to let go. Realising that you can no longer control all the outside elements and protect them from the world is terrifying but it is all part of the mammoth job of being a parent. Letting go and trusting that you have done your job means trusting that he will make good choices. Right now, that is the best that we can hope for.

GIVEAWAY* GETTING FRESH AT LA LA International artist DJ Fresh drops in to the BBay from the UK with a gig at La La Land on Tuesday 3 April. For a double pass, (we have two) email gigs@echo.net. au with subject header ‘La La La for Fresh’.

THIS WEEKEND SEES WOMEN COME TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT ALL THINGS BIRTH. THE RED TENT FESTIVAL OFFERS WOMEN A UNIQUE CHANCE TO SHARE THEIR STORIES, AND GET IN TOUCH WITH LATEST BIRTH TECHNIQUES AND PHILOSOPHIES. JENNY BLYTHE IS A BIRTH WORKER WHO WILL BE RUNNING A WORKSHOP CALLED VIVA LA VAGINA ALONG WITH SCREENING THE BIG STRETCH 2. Jenny Blythe is passionate about birth. ‘It started when I had my three kids. It was the amazement and pride in myself, the wow factor when you first give birth and then the motivation that you want to tell women about birth, especially first-timers, that it’s a lot bigger than you think!’ So how does she get the message through to women who are birthing for the first time, considering lack of experience tends to make the first-time mother naively unaware of the pain that awaits? ‘You can never get it completely through, but if you actually do it without being dramatic about it for the women that are going for the pain-free experience, you might want to call it pain free. Most women do call it painful – my awareness is on body preparation and you get the mental confidence to know that you can do it.’ Jenny believes that women need to be more focused on their individual experiences and not to measure themselves against the choices of anothers. ‘There is so much emotion around birth. We can end up measuring women up against each other around what is a good birth, and really nobody ever knows. You need to have the resolve and resilience to ride it‌’ ‘I think it is important for women to focus on what they want and visualise that; if they don’t end up getting it, at least they know they did everything they could to get it out, then they could feel they have no regrets.’ Jenny runs regular groups supporting women and their partners to actively engage in the birth process. ‘I take them through a whole lot of experiential exercises that I have created over the years and involve the partners. I model it for them and keep it fun and light because I believe taking skills on board in a relaxed way you integrate it more. The whole approach is about simple effective touch and communication, and a variety of particular skills that women practise so that you can go to your pelvis and help facilitate your own birth, able

to give other people feedback about what is going. One of the things that happens with pain is that we stop breathing and retreat – that is a survival mechanism for serious injury which is important in that context, but during birth you need to be present.’ Breath is key for Jenny. ‘I actually get people to do breath in a really relaxed fashion so they can feel breath going to anywhere in the body, with touch guidance – it’s not just a theory, they actually get to experience it. You get right into the middle of the pain; it is like you are in the eye of a cyclone. It’s a still place, things blur out for a second or two‌ ‘My other biggest motivation is about celebrating the body – that’s what this Viva La Vagina workshop is about: it’s about honouring their body and we all have stories.’ Women need to find what is right for them. Jenny believes that socially there is still a lot of pressure: ‘I think there is an expectation in our culture of women to have a perfect birth of a perfect child‌ it’s almost like it was in the fifties’. Jenny believes that it’s not just women but their partners who need to be more informed around birth. With regional maternity hospitals closing, it’s important for the

partners to know how to deliver a child, in case of a ‘car’ birth. ‘Lots of women are told you need to drive over three hours to the nearest hospital‌ and some of them go into labour three weeks early. Heaps of them end up being stuck on the highway out of range and having to deal with it. Thats why I am so big on the birth preparation. None of these women who go to these bigger centres even get a hand out to say this is what you need to do‌ it’s quite easy but easy to panic if you don’t know what to do.’ Jenny will also be screening The Big Stretch sequel, a film shot with Alieta Belle. ‘It’s basically a celebration of natural birth and honouring the innate intelligence of parents and babies. This one is 13 chapters of what challenges they had and what it was and how they processed it. They were all women having home births‌ we try to unromanticise it, most of the time it’s a birth, it hurts and it’s amazing. It’s not necessarily romantic.’ Jenny will be conducting her Viva La Vagina workshop and screening her film at the Red Tent Festival on Saturday. Films will be available on DVD.

whingeing in general drives me nuts. Now I have to listen to it. No more plugging up the noise hole. I have to parent without the titty crutch. I actually have to have some proper parental strategies. I need to be consistent and follow through. I hate that. I’m not a consistent person. I’m unpredictable and moody. God I’m going to need bandaids and icepacks and a time-out room and a sticker chart, and food. Yes. I’m going to have to actually feed the child some human food. Several times a day. And what is going to happen to my nawks? I shudder to contemplate the fate of my human udder. Hopefully I’ve timed the drying-up of milk with the menopausal boob boom. When they promote breastfeeding everyone focuses on the health of the child, but the reality is, I reckon more women would opt for breastfeeding if they were told that you get a pretty impressive rack. It’s nature’s answer to a tit job. In fact, for the last 11 years my breasts have worked harder than I have. And now the girls have retired, they’re no longer hard-working front-benchers. Boobs are amazing things, not only highly decorative, they are also bloody functional. They’re like the teapots of the human body. And sadly, my teapot is on the shelf.

MOSCOW MUSIC Closure in Moscow are back with a new single titled The Impeccable Beast, produced by Wayne Lotek Bennett and mixed and mastered by Forrester Savell. The new single introduces an amazing new rhythm section – Duncan Milar on bass and Salvatore Aidone on drums, giving CIM a fresh new direction. The beats are inspired by Motown grooves, bringing in huge choruses with a goodtime feel and signature guitar riffing. They play the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

The other day I was wondering is the ukulele the inner child of the guitar. Is it the bit that reminds musicians and lovers of music just not to take it all too seriously? I think perhaps it is, so get out your little instrument and uke on down to the Courthouse this Thursday from 6:30pm for Uke Mullum with Stukulele, Miss Amber and The Mullum Uke Troupe. Special guest Ashely Bell. Loads of easy songs this month.

BROADFOOT AT THE MIDDLE PUB Considering the amount of water in the atmosphere and on the ground at present it’s surprising the north coast population are not turning into amphibians.

They’ve played parties all over Australia, been named on many festival bills including Meredith Music Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Parklife, Falls Festival, Field Day and Groovin’ In The Moo. Adding to the horror party will be the Yacht Club DJs’ hometown friends, Hunting Grounds.

Mellow Yellow at Blues LAST YEAR BLUESFEST PRESENTED THE LEGENDARY BOB DYLAN, THIS YEAR IT’S DONOVAN. ONCE AGAIN BLUESFEST OFFERS PUNTERS THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE MUSICIANS WHO HAVE NOT ONLY CHANGED THE FACE OF MUSIC, THEY HAVE SPEARHEADED AN ENTIRE SUBCULTURE. IT’S HARD TO KNOW WHAT TO ASK A MUSICIAN WHO’S BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS. As a young musician, do you feel you were prepared for international success? I felt the call, and heeded it. Called to be poet and musician and a voice for freedom of thought. I did not expect the instant accolades and super fame, who can? Now it is understood that my ‘calling‘, was needed by so many, that it is now clear that my vocation was headed for great fame through service as a poet who helped bring the Bohemian Manifesto back to Popular Culture. Is it hard to develop musically, make the mistakes you need to etc when you are so much in the public eye? I was prepared fully before I arrived at fame. I lived the vagabond life with Gypsy Dave and brought with me from a previous life, all that I would need in this one. How do you think this helped shape you as a musician? Fame did not change my developing work or my dedication, I did have to learn the ‘studio techniques‘ but that was fast and natural. As a singer songwriter around the same time as Dylan you were often compared to him, how important was it to distance yourself from this and just get on with making your own music? It was an easy mistake to visually compare me with Bobbie as we wore Woodie Guthrie caps and had harmonia harnesses and mimicked Woodie Guthrie for a time. We two also were the new poet songwriters of both sides of the western world, who were obsessed with fusing folk with blues jazz and rock forms. It took only my second single to show we were not alike at all. Did it ever get you down? Frustrated when the media had no knowledge of the music genre Bobbie and came from. What have been the greatest challenges that you have faced as a musician? Dealing with the police dogs that harassed audiences in the early days when our music threatened the establishment. What are the things in life that are most important to you? Freedom of movement, thought and Linda . As an artist that started out in 65 and is still playing in 2012 (don’t mean that to sound patronisingly ageist), how has the way you approach the industry and your music evolved? Its the same really, its called ‘ bums on seats’, all the recording styles, music, costumes, videos and now webworlds are all just ways to access what is always the same: the song then the singer, then the concert. These are always with us from ancient times and will be in the far future if this planet survives the ignorance and the greed. For you, what is the essence of good songwriting? There chords and maybe, if its necessary, a minor chord. You were the poster boy for a psychedelic hippy generation – how did your kids react to that later in life... meaning was it hard to parent once you’d been the face of an acid dropping generation?! I was a Gypsy parent, we tried alternative schools mostly, Linda taught basic health and I taught attitude. You have to ask the kids what they felt. What are your passions now? Poetry, mythology and Linda. What should we expect from you at Bluesfest? A surprise or two yet all the popular songs I am known for, a short concert really as its a fest. But I will be back for a tour maybe next Yule. Easter Long Weekend in Byron Bay. For more program details and ticketing info go to www.bluesfest.com.au

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

s r a t S WITH LILITH As Mercury retreats into Pisces this week, the usual retrograde advice applies: slow down, don’t rush, expect delays, back up your work, be patient with communication glitches and machine malfunctions… $2 (kids under four are free). Doors open at 6:30pm. Show time starts at 7pm and runs till 8pm.

E A RIES: Mercury retro reminders: Keep resetting your internal thermostat to cruise control. Accept that misunderstandings are usually the result of insufficient information rather than malign intent. Be careful what you say, sign and send. And monitor careless comments, because this week’s cosmic climate is combustible. F T AURUS: If this week’s bad attitude has you close to blowing a fuse, don’t drive or use equipment when you’re upset. Have a rest, a massage, a lie down, a quiet night: Venus in Taurus is a particularly cushy transit for domestic pleasures and home entertaining. G G EMINI: A feisty week when saying yes to everything will take you dangerously close to system overload. But exhaustion isn’t efficient, so use this week’s energy intelligently. Take care of your body – it’s the only place you have to live. And if funds shrink, start expanding your mind. H C ANCER: This week could activate a clash of agendas with someone wanting to push forward while you prefer pulling back. Or vice versa. Either way, don’t let it turn your head into Bad Mood Central. Treat setbacks as blessings, because conditions change for the better next week.

manifesto in celebration of ‘slow’ photography. Capturing Light opens at Retrospect Galleries, Byron Bay Friday at 6pm and runs until 11 April.

I L EO: If Mercury delivers a chill pill to your current plans, declare yourself a serene peace zone that repels messy situations, stressy arrangements, unnecessary drama, confrontational behaviour and problemcreating personalities. Consider the wonderful Thai word sanug which means fun, and do nothing this week that isn’t sanug. J V IRGO: You like things clear and concise, but with your planetary boss Mercury hitting its first 2012 speed bump, changing conditions can complicate the simplest arrangements. So just do what you do best, ie: attend systematically to each problem till all the pieces fall into a new pattern. K L IBRA: Smoothing this week’s pricky edges mightn’t be the easiest assignment, but who’s more astrologically suited for this mission than you Venusians? Though for your sanity’s sake it’s crucial that you keep defusing with whatever self-soothing activities keep you calm, cool and stable. L S CORPIO: This week’s wild originals and edgy rebels will definitely catch your fancy, but raised voices and temper tantrums...? Step away. Despite its drawbacks this is a highly motivated week, so channel that passion into something constructive and creative which could take off as early as next week.

7

M S AGITTARIUS: With everyone’s inner control freak out on the town, this fast and sometimes furious week needs the balance of introspection. But definitely not choosing the road less travelled, then fanging along it in roadrunner mode; the point is decreasing speed so you can examine, observe and learn. N C APRICORN: Good news? This week sparks wild ideas, outrageous behaviour and entertaining surprises. Down side? Its oh yeah, so what, who sez, I don’t think so, in your dreams attitude. Advice? Consider Capricorn AA Milne’s: How do you spell love? You don’t spell it, you feel it. O A QUARIUS: Communicate as simply and clearly as you can because misunderstandings are the name of this week’s game, along with bossy, controlling, demanding or argumentative others. Best strategies? Don’t engage in power plays, do practise the art of fun shui, remember everyone’s doing the best they can. P PISCES: Being a water sign into personal evolution, your best reaction to this week would be flowing with whatever it presents. Some things need to get hot, heavy and not very nice before they can change, but that doesn’t mean they’re not proceeding precisely as they should.

1. Rhys Wakefield and Gemma Ward are wonderful leads in the powerful, moving and funny Australian film The Black Balloon (ABC2, Saturday, 10.10pm). Wakefield plays Thomas, who moves to a new school, tries to fit in and is aided by his new girlfriend Jackie (Ward). His life is further complicated by his autistic older brother Charlie – an astonishing performance by Luke Ford. To top it off, Toni Collette stars as the harried yet affectionate mother. It’s about love, loss, longing and growing up, and first-time feature writer/director Elissa Down justly deserves the plaudits heaped upon her. ‘I have three younger brothers, two of which have autism,’ Down told Andrew L Urban, ‘so growing up was very eventful, crazy, funny and sometimes very sad. I always thought it would be a powerful story to tell.’ 2. While Drew Barrymore looks a bit saccharine in wings – it’s hard to avoid – she gives an excellent performance as the post-feminist Cinders in Ever After: A Cinderella Story (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm), a comedy with realistic bite set in Renaissance-era France. Anjelica Huston gives a rousing turn as the villain.

BALLINA FAIR CINEMAS

steers clear of dealing with murderous lunatics and focuses instead on the likeable, youthful trio of Vincent (Florian David Fitz, who also wrote the screenplay), Marie (Karolin Herfurth) and Alexander (Johannes Allmayer). Afflicted respectively with Tourette’s syndrome, anorexia and an obsessive disorder, they hijack the car owned by Robert (Heino Ferch), Vincent’s rich father, and flee from the institution in which they have been undergoing therapy. Vincent’s vague intention is to scatter his mother’s ashes on the sea in Italy, while the others tag along for the ride. There are times in the road-trip sequences when, as they head south through the scenic beauty of Austria accompanied by too often reverted to pop music, it feels like you’re watching an ad for Nokia or the latest orgasmic Audi, but the camaraderie that grows among the three allows the movie to gel and, at times, surprise. The secondary, less convincing story concerns the relationship between their pursuers, Robert and the chain-smoking Doctor Rose (Katharina Müller-Elmau). There is a hint of a budding romance here, but thankfully the script’s priority is given to an uncertain affection that Vincent and Marie are beginning to share. The performances are good – I wanted more of Ferch, who reminded me of Bruce Willis in the self-awareness that he brought to his character – the photography (of the Tyrol in summer) invigorating and, against the odds, the ending is satisfactorily well short of mawkish. And the freezeframe of Vincent’s final spasm is outright funny. ~ John Campbell

With a squint you could be at a street stall in Bangkok and not a Mullumbimby laneway. Especially on a mild late-week evening dipping a fork into a little dish of steamed silken tofu salad, or perhaps caramelised sticky pork, or dry red curry of brisket‌ For about the last six weeks there’s been a little piece of Thailand at the Rock & Roll Coffee Company, the cute 3-year old cafĂŠ snuggled up one end of a lane in town, thanks to co-owner and chef Michael Collins. Actually, ever since they opened up, his particular brand of South East Asian food has been available from as early as breakfast; dinners are, however, relatively recent. When I chatted to Michael he had just returned from Bangkok where he was privileged enough to spend about a week in the kitchen of David Thompson’s Nahm restaurant. Through a friend and colleague he had received an invitation to do so. ‘I was over the moon’, he told me. ‘I stayed at the Metropolitan where the restaurant is, got up in the morning and put on chef’s gear and off I went. I’ve never felt a warmer reception in any other kitchen than I did in David’s.’ For those unfamiliar with the name, David Thompson is an Australian chef whose very first restaurant, Darley Street Thai, in the back of a pub in Sydney’s Erskineville, was attracting glowing reviews as early as 1989. He later relocated the restaurant to the city where it became one of the more highly acclaimed eateries, famous for David’s particular style of Thai food, groundbreaking in that it drew heavily on traditional recipes – scrupulously researched – without pandering to the western palate. David eventually took himself off to London where in 2001 he opened Nahm: this became the first European Thai restaurant ever to receive a Michelin star. Bangkok’s Nahm opened nine years later.

He had always had a love of and respect for Thai and Vietnamese cultures and from the beginning wanted to serve an Asian menu. ‘The approach to food can be incredibly humble and simple – or an amazing banquet. Whenever I come back from Asia (he tries to go at least twice a year) the dish I remember is always the simplest dish I’ve eaten, street-wise. When we opened I wanted to do something like that, giving kudos to the Asian approach to takeaway food.’

Dinners, from Wednesday to Friday, have been ‘a runaway success. It’s the local community who comes’, Michael told me. ’We know every face that comes in for dinner – they’re all rapt.’ As we were after a fabulous feast of quite perfect fish cakes (with the chunkiest stickiest chilli jam), crispy barramundi salad, meltingly tender crispy Brisbane-born Michael was raised in New half duck – and the standouts, stir fried flat Zealand, coming back to Australia when rice noodles with fat shitakes and that dry he was 20 and cooking his way around ‘countless nameless bars and cafes in Sydney’ red curry of milk-fed Angus brisket.

eventually and got into IT, married and had a son – only to realise that IT wasn’t what he was looking for either. Meanwhile, his best friend Trent Morris had acquired the cafe in Mullumbimby and asked Michael if he was interested in coming and doing the cooking there. ‘We had no money, no idea!’, he told me. ‘I gave away IT and we moved up here and that was that!’

Crankin’ what’s happening in the surf All Girls The All Girls Surfriders March club round was held at Evans Head, after the club’s annual campout. The day was incredible, we had sun, decent and contestable waves for a good chunk of the morning, and heaps of fun! This was the All Girls first club round of the year as the Feb club round was unfortunately incontestable due to the large amounts of bluebottles in the water. Waves were coming in at 2–3 ft with a SSE swell. The new division formats worked really well. A big thanks to Plenko for Saturday’s coaching session and a big thanks to all the girls and parents who helped to set up and pack down. We are looking forward to our next club round!

MARCH CIRCUS SHOWCASE

VIPASSANA

:LWK Richard Lang

T his workshop is a refreshingly modern way of discovering who you really are – the boundless, timeless awareness that is everyone’s True Self. In the workshop you will be guided through awareness exercises that invite you to notice the difference between what you are for others, your appearance, and what you are for yourself, your reality. You are not required to believe or imagine anything. As amazing as it sounds, all you are asked to do is look. What a treasure you ďŹ nd when you look: All things are within you. Come to the workshop and discover this beautiful, deep truth about yourself. And then go on re-discovering who you really are in your daily life, whenever you choose. Richard Lang ďŹ rst saw who he really was in a workshop with the English philosopher Douglas Harding in 1970. Since then he has devoted his life to Seeing, and to sharing this simple, accessible Way. He has published two books – Seeing Who You Really Are and Open To The Source. He has also published several videos and a CD.

Medical cannabis plantation raided Chris Dobney

TV star and shark protection advocate Ron Taylor is among the many patients with chronic or terminal diseases who may miss out on their medication following last week’s raid on the far north coast property of medical marijuana provider Tony Bower. Mr Taylor had been using medical cannabis oil provided by Mr Bower’s Mullaway Medical Cannabis mobile dispensary at the suggestion of his friend, French oncologist Dr Patrice Richard of St Louis Hospital in Paris. Dr Richard has written a letter of support to Mr Bower, stating the importance of medical marijuana when other medications fail. ‘I am shocked and disappointed that the police of your country do not care about the people Mr Bower is helping; people he is assisting with the approval of their own doctors,’ he wrote. ‘[Oncologists] are seeking scientific evidence to verify which cancer cells have recep-

We know already that some brain cancers can be cured with it, and we were hoping that it could be effective on Ron Taylor’s leukaemia cancer cells,’ he added. ‘The police have destroyed Tony Bower’s crops, at the same time seriously cutting the chances of many desperately ill people for whom this molecule (cannabis) could have been effective. It has taken away their hopes, their last chance for life.’ Mr Bower told Echonetdaily yesterday that, despite the police raiding his Crescent Head property by helicopter last week, he is endeavouring to keep up supplies of his marijuana tincture to his many patients. Police have declined to comment on the raid apart from admitting that Mr Bower was issued a court attendance notice for the offences of cultivating ‘an indictable quantity of a prohibited plant’ and supplying a prohibited drug. Mr Bower will face Kempsey Local Court on 16 April and plans to contest the charges. He said the hearing would turn

He added that his mobile dispensary has regularly provided tincture to patients from various north coast locations, including outside the Kempsey office of deputy premier Andrew Stoner, without interference from local police. Twelve years ago he was taken to court on similar charges and ‘emerged with what amounted to an exemption to grow cannabis for medical use’, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

into a test case on the use of medical marijuana in NSW by default. Mr Bower says he has been battling to have his tincture approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). But before the TGA can act, approval to produce and research his cannabis must be granted by the NSW health department, which has so far declined to do so.

Sustainable Streets wraps it up Funds needed for road repair

The Brunswick Heads Sustainable Streets project celebrated the end of the beginning on Saturday with a sumptuous morning tea made from 95 per cent locally grown produce. Seven of the families who participated were energy and water audited from August last year to February 2012 and between them saved $1,368 or an average of $196 per household. Matthew, Reneé and Aoife Gordos, pictured centre, were one of the families featured in a film of the project by Kat Gawlik called Sustainable Streets Byron Shire which can be viewed on YouTube.

Byron Shire Council will seek funding from the state government to help repair Wilsons Creek Road, which remains off limits to two-way traffic and heavy vehicles after a natural disaster in late January. The disaster affected the road immediately west of the primary school. A landslip damaged the road embankment and removed about half the existing sealed road pavement. The landslip has restricted road use to vehicles up to five tonnes in weight, with traffic regulated by a one-way contraflow system. Council’s executive manager of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway, said staff and geotechnical experts were currently working on the best way to permanently stabilise the area, which was necessary before funding for the repair

the discipline into the future has been hailed throughout the surfing world. In similar exploratory vein, Kauai surfer Terry Chung is featured on the futuristic and magnificent foil board, a far extension of the winged keel sailing breakthrough of Ben Lexcen that was ultimately the key advantage in the 1983 America’s Cup. Both Hynd and Chung demonstrate in hard-to-believe segments that progressive surfing isn’t limited to kids with attitude. The boundaries they tap while sitting well out of the age bracket are among the greatest ever achieved in the sport. McCoy also challenges notions of what can and cannot be achieved in chasing new angles, leaving achievements of far younger filmmakers in his wake. McCoy is 63, and his personally developed sub-

mersible tracking craft in filming the world’s best surfers in Tahiti is acknowledged as the great leap forward in surf cinematography. One can only imagine the skill involved in tracking a surfer in the heaviest barrel on Earth, literally one metre behind the folding ‘tube’ of the wave on a weighty and unwieldly piece of machinery while holding breath and keeping focus on the subject and the shallow reef below. He discovered in the process a reverse force field from the pounding wave that prevented him from being hurled through the ‘tube’ and into open air. McCoy will be in attendance at Tuesday’s screening and will do a Q&A after the show. Note: the audience is invited by McCoy to get as rowdy as they want … Bookings 6680 8555.

pairing what has been destroyed by a natural disaster. ‘We appreciate this process takes time, and that this has an impact on community members that make particular use of Wilsons Creek Road while the process is worked through.’ Mr Holloway said that in the meantime Council would focus on ensuring community residents could at least use one lane. Mr Holloway also asked motorists to abide by the changed traffic conditions. ‘While the damage is assessed and we work out the most appropriate way to fix the road, we are requesting motorists to please ensure they do not drive along the affected area with a vehicle weighing more than 5 tonnes,’ he said. ‘Use of the road past the landslip by heavy vehicles is not considered safe.’

‘It’s not a surfing film,’ says filmmaker Jack McCoy, ‘it’s a story.’ Jack McCoy’s 25th film, A Deeper Shade Of Blue, lauded at film festivals all over the world for the past 12 months, is being shown at the Dendy this week. Independently backed by industry pioneer Gordon Merchant, it combines innovation with history to present the most comprehensive cinematic depiction of surfing now and then that has ever been on screen. It celebrates the age-old concept of Aloha, a method of greeting and departure that has far deeper connotations than generally credited. One of the main surfers featured is Derek Hynd, who has been seen taking a different line in the waves around the local area. His return to the original finless ethos of the Polynesians in order to bring

work could be sought. ‘Once we know the best option for stabilising the road, there is then a process Council has to comply with to access state government funding to pay for the cost of the road repairs,’ he said. ‘All works and options have to be investigated fully, with design, cost estimates, and all documentation submitted to Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) for consideration and approval before construction commences on site.’ Mr Holloway said the cost of the repair was likely to be substantial. ‘It is too early to know for sure how much the repair work will cost, but any work will obviously come at a considerable price. ‘We would prefer the community’s limited road budget to be spent on improvement works rather than simply re-

Tallowood Estate scores NBN connection

Mullumbimby’s new Tallowood Ridge estate is the very first site in the Northern Rivers to be connected to the federal government’s National Broadband Network. The estate saw the final ‘haul in’ of the fibre-optic trunk main cable earlier this week, and is now fully connected to the network. ‘It’s great news for our residents,’ said Christopher Dean, chair of Tallowood’s management committee. Tallowood Ridge and Armidale are the only places on the entire North Coast to be connected to the network. NBN coverage represents superfast broadband speed (up to 100 MB per second), the ability to access all channels, including those previously only on pay TV, quality and high resolution in picture to an exceptional standard, the ability to have large numbers of phone lines into your home and all of this through one place, rather than dealing with

a multitude of service providers. Business and marketing consultant Roe Ritchie is perhaps best known as producer of the childrens fairy-tale The Grimstones. Roe has recently purchased at Tallowood Ridge with her partner Trace. ‘I work remotely, as a lot of my business occurs in Melbourne and Brisbane,’ said Roe. ‘So to have access to really fast internet is invaluable. The NBN coverage makes it possible for us to live in the most beautiful part of Australia and be connected in a fast efficient way to the rest of the world.’ The massive $35 billion initiative, which will take ten years to roll out across Australia, is based upon utilising fibre optic cables that will last forever, unlike the current copper cables encased in plastic,

which degrades, and suffers from signal loss. The new cables are made from a bundle of strands of glass, which don’t degrade in the presence of air, salt spray or moisture.

Industry flags a Torrens Title overhaul

Property and legal industry groups have come together under the banner of the Property Law Reform Alliance (PLRA) to advocate for a national uniform property law. The draft Uniform Torrens Title Act is the result of nearly a decade of commitment from PLRA members. PLRA Chairman, Dr Stephen Pallavicini, said the Act shows that a leading practice property law system is within reach. ‘In the absence of a commitment by Australian governments to reforming land title legislation, industry took the first step to show them that it was possible,’ Dr Pallavicini said. Peter Verwer, CEO of the Property Council of Australia, said property law is a prime target for national reform. ‘Streamlined property laws should be high on the COAG red-tape agenda,’ Mr Verwer said. ‘Industry has sent a clear message that reform is both necessary and possible.’ ‘National consistency has the potential to reduce costs for every individual and business involved in cross-border transactions,’ he said. Law Council of Australia president Catherine Gale said reform towards harmonisation of this important area of business is long overdue.

‘Through its Australian Property Law Group the Law Council has been a very keen and active contributor to the process of developing this draft model Act. ‘The reform and harmonisation of these systems across all Australian states and territories will be a significant achievement. ‘The Law Council remains committed to the development of the model uniform legislation, and looks forward to being involved in a consultation process with state and territory governments and departments in the coming months,’ Ms Gale said. The Act was drafted by Professor Peter Butt, of Sydney University, and drew on each jurisdiction’s existing system. ‘The Act was developed in collaboration with professionals working in the jurisdictions, and it represents the leading aspects of property law systems from around the country,’ Dr Pallavicini said. ‘There are surprisingly few areas of real disagreement between the jurisdictions.’ Comments will be accepted on the draft Act until 28 February 2013, and it can be downloaded from www.plra.com.au.

The NSW transport forum in Lismore extracted a commitment from MP Don Page to a greater study of the CasinoMurwillumbah rail link. However TOOT president Karin Kolbe’s notes on the history of the issue are a salutary lesson to the optimistic: way back in 2006 Barry O’Farrell, as shadow minister for transport, committed to returning trains within three weeks of attaining office; 2007 coalition policy committed ‘$100 million over 4 years’ and to ‘immediately start the planning process for an extension of the line from Murwillumbah to meet the Brisbane-Gold Coast line’.

Who would’ve thought? Q Q Q Q
