Hospital asbestos work ‘not relevant to trial’

p25–27

Byron Shire Council Notices Pages 49

Biggest little festival shines

Luis Feliu

Asbestos remediation work in the ceiling of Mullumbimby Hospital’s emergency unit should not be used as an excuse to delay a decision to replace its overnight doctor with a video link to Tweed Hospital, according to campaigners against the move. The work, which started two months ago and is expected to finish next month, has forced the emergency unit’s temporary relocation to another part of the hospital. A Northern NSW Local Health District spokesperson said the asbestos was being contained in the emergency unit’s ceiling and, ‘therefore, the telehealth trial is on hold’ until some time in December when the unit was back in its original location. The Echo found out about the asbestos work only after inquiring about the trial.

Nurses against bureaucrat Chris Crawford’s plans Save Mullumbimby Hospital steering committee’s Frank Lynch said the district health board and chief executive Chris Crawford had ‘clearly stated’ that a decision on the contentious trial would be made at the next board meeting on November 28. ‘Whether telehealth goes ahead or not with the removal of the overnight doctor from the hospital was always dependent on nurses’ agreement,’ Mr Lynch said. ‘The nurses have unanimously rejected the removal of the doctor part of the trial and there’s been no change in their position. The board has said if the nurses don’t agree, it won’t go

Sunday’s street parade – as part of the Mullum Music Fest – culminated outside Mullum’s Civic Hall. More festival photos by Jeff Dawson on page 18 Mandy Nolan

This year’s fifth Mullum Music Festival was the biggest and most successful to date with over 5000 people attending the event over the four perfect-weather days. In an event that is becoming Mullumbimby’s annual street party, locals are taking it on themselves to get involved and create their own festival initiatives. The festival remained low key with no incidents of public nuicontinued on page 3 sance or disturbance and there was

little or no police presence. ‘It’s not necessary,’ said one attendee. ‘This is just a music loving community loving their music. ‘It just reminds you why we love Mullumbimby. It’s the best little town on the planet!’ Opening on Thursday night to a packed house at the Civic Hall, patrons were treated to a festival taster with Nano Stern, Clairy Browne and the Bangin Rackettes, Jo Jo Smith, Juzzie Smith, Georgia Potter, Rescue Ships, Boubacar Traore and guitar prodigy, Joe Robinson.

Events throughout the six venues were easy to access; patrons either hopped on the brightly coloured Magic Bus, walked or rode bikes to the venues.

United against CSG Many performers over the weekend – Vince Jones and Nano Stern in particular – echoed the need to unite against multinationals like coal-seam gas and mining interests. International acts like Will and the People wowed the crowds with their

punk/ska/rock delivery; Boubacar Traore of Mali spoke no English, but didn’t need to – his music said it all; and high-profile national acts like Husky, Mama Kin, Mia Dyson, Tin Pan Orange, Darren Percival and the like proved to be just as impressive. Local acts also got a chance to shine, with Dave Ades, Sara Tindley, Shelly Hughes, Round Mountain Girls, Gyan and Lifeline drawing packed houses. With over 80 performances, the Mullum Music Festival managed to capture the spirit of Mullumbimby.

meeting and film is planned for Wednesday November 28 from 6pm in the Byron Shire Council Chambers, Mullumbimby. An event is also planned for November 27 from 6pm at the Civic Centre in Murwillumbah.

Grafton blockade And in Grafton, an event was held Sunday at the District Services Club giving instruction on non-violent direct action, including individual’s legal rights in demonstrations and blockades. It coincided with an ongoing action in the area. According to photographer David Lowe, residents are furious about Metgasco ‘bringing invasive gasfields to their area.’ ‘One landowner – who doesn’t live there – has been paid to have a CSG well installed. Other residents, including immediate neighbours, have not even been consulted.’

Royalty holiday ends According to global energy and natural resources website www.mondaq.com, mining companies in NSW are now on a sliding scale of royalty payments, effective October 29, 2012. After five years, royalties for the NSW government will eventually reach ‘up to ten per cent of the value of the petroleum produced in the tenth

Schoolie sexually assaulted Police are appealing for witnesses to a sexual assault of a teenage girl on the weekend. About 9pm Sunday November 25, police say an 18-yearold woman was approached by an unknown man while walking along Belongil Beach

in Byron Bay. The man is described as being of caucasian appearance, aged in his late teens and with blond hair. The woman was pushed to the ground before being sexually assaulted, say police.

Bruns Marine rescue vessel vandalised An estimated $50,000 in damages was caused to Marine Rescue NSW’s new Wooli vessel on Sunday night in Coffs Harbour. The vessel’s buoyancy tubes were slashed, causing damage that will likely put the vessel out of commission for most of the season.

MRNSW commissioner Stacey Tannos said the $345,000 offshore rescue vessel was one of four Marine Rescue vessels gathered at Coffs for a multiagency regional search and rescue exercise last weekend. A NSW Fisheries boat and Police vessel were also targeted.

“I never want to have to cross the street to avoid you.�

Community meetings and actions are continuing to spring up in response to the NSW Liberal/National state government’s plans to allow mining, particularly coal-seam gas (CSG), throughout the state and region. The Echo last week reported that the NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) applied for a prospecting licence which could potentially see CSG across most of NSW and large parts of Byron and Tweed shires. NSWALC CEO Geoff Scott says if successful he plans to on-sell the licence to mining companies to ‘end Aboriginal poverty’ and ‘become part of the real Australian economy.’ The move has been condemned locally by the indigenous Arakwal people of Byron Bay and has been revealed that the NSWALC already benefits substantially from ongoing investments. Additionally, Byron Council has stated its opposition to the move by the NSWALC.

Teens schooled in driver dangers Over the last two weeks almost 2,500 local Year 11 students attended RRISK seminars in Tweed Heads and Lismore. RRISK seminars (Reduce Risk – Increase Student Knowledge) provide students with the latest evidence and practical skills to help them manage pressure from peers, plan ahead before going out and develop safer behaviours as drivers and passengers. Unfortunately young drivers are over-represented in all fatal crashes, including those involving drink driving and fatigue. Local firefighter Philip Preston witnesses firsthand the devastation caused by car crashes in our community. ‘In the last five years, 25 young drivers aged between 17 and 25 years have died on our local roads and astonishingly 64 per cent of these were males,’ he said. ‘There is a lot we can do to reduce the chance young people will be involved in a car crash.’ Researchers at the George Institute of International Health determined that par-

ahead, that was always the basis for making the decision. Mr Lynch said the health district board chair, Hazel Bridgett, had expressed concern at a public meeting the trial had ‘given rise to much anxiety in the community’. ‘So if they don’t make a decision when they said they would and continue this unresolved situation, that anxiety will continue.’ Mr Lynch said the asbestos problem at the hospital was ‘common knowledge’ and identified ‘way back’. ‘In 2000, there were threats to close the hospital to remediate it or close it permanently, which gave rise to community

Mojo scoops tourism award Photo & story Eve Jeffery

It can be hard to make a buck in the tourist industry, especially if the world economy isn’t in tip-top gear, but a local business has managed to catch the eye of TNT magazine readers. After a 10-week online campaign, backpackers voted for their favourite hostel, tour and backpacker night in every state and territory in Australia and across the Tasman. In New South Wales, they loved Mojo Surf the best. In a celebration of the best the backpacking industry has to offer, TNT magazine’s held their Golden Backpack Awards in Sydney recently with the local crew rising with the cream. This year the awards were held at Dockside, Cockle Bay Wharf, and were hosted by TV presenter and adventurer Peter Wells. Mojo had stiff competi-

The residents are angry at the state-government-run North Coast Holiday Parks (NCHP) management who they say ‘willfully defied’ council’s new licence agreement for the Ferry Reserve Caravan Park, which retains Riverside Crescent and the reserve foreshore for public use. The barricades were erected by park management the week before the new licence agreement was adopted by Council in August.

A group of Brunswick Heads residents who removed several large barricades from a local road, which, they say, illegally obstructed public access to a boat ramp and foreshore land, are shocked they could face charges over their protest.

Foss killer acquitted over mental illness The confessed killer of 60-yearold Mullumbimby man John Foss has been acquitted in the Supreme Court on the grounds of mental illness. Justice Elizabeth Fullerton handed down her judgment last Wenesday, ruling that James Andrew Mitchell, 54, be held in custody until a proper

mental health assessment can be made. Mitchell deliberately drove his van at Foss, who was on his motorised bicycle, on Coolamon Scenic Drive on January 3 this year, killing him. The court heard how the two met at Alcoholics Anonymous and but that there had been a falling out.

Outside the court, Mr Foss’s partner Nanette Turner said, ‘all the signs were there’ regarding Mitchell’s illness and the mental health system had failed him. Q This is a shortened story from

Koala report released for Tyagarah Bluesfest site A report outlining the plight of what have been dubbed the ‘Bluesfest Koalas’ has been drawn up after a survey studying the group was completed. The study by Dr Sean Fitzgibbon and Dr William Ellis of the University of Queensland included the tracking and study of tagged koalas between September 2011 and June 2012, with the specific aim of observing the behavioural changes from the days and weeks around the Bluefest and the actual festival days between April 5 and 9 this year. ‘We have done many field studies of koalas in fragmented areas like Tyagarah but we’ve never looked at the effect of a festival upon them’, says Dr Fitzgibbon. ‘We usually look at the more long-term effects of habitat loss and fragmentation in urban landcsapes and mining/agricultural landscapes, and the associated influences like cars and dogs.’ The report showed that of the of the eight animals found in the area, three showed no sign of being affected and two displayed mild aversive behaviour. Of the three remaining and one died months before the Bluesfest, one ‘left home’. The remaining koala was not tagged due to obvious signs of ill health. Dr Fitzgibbon said

Koala picture from www.prkoalacare.com.au.

he felt the study group was small so interpreting the results cautiously was needed to avoid making sweeping conclusions. ‘I still think the sample size was large enough to draw useful conclusions, for example, the festival had a very small impact on the local koalas. Unfortunately that is the reality of many ecological studies like this one – it just isn’t practical/feasible to track 40 koalas and have robust results. ‘Also, the sample size was necessarily small because we only found eight koalas near to the festival site.’ Dr Fitzgibbon said that koalas are not a creature that stresses easily; he thinks they are one of the most resilient and hardy native mammals. ‘Look at where they survive! I think their “chilled” appear-

ance extends to their physiology to some degree.’ Dr Fitzgibbon says he has never seen or heard of koalas dying from acute episodes of stress.

Not a creature that stresses easily ‘I have studied many koalas that have been exposed to extreme acute stressors like land clearing, with all surrounding trees bulldozed while their tree is left standing, for many days on end. Koalas are able to persist in some extremely modified and challenging environments where very few other native mammals survive (other than possums). In my mind they are are very tough animals – real fighters that will hang on as long as they can.’ Steve Phillips B Sc (Hons),

PhD, FEIANZ is the principal ecologist/managing director of Biolink Ecological Consultants. Dr Phillips and his group drew up a monitoring report from results of a study leading up to and after the 2010 event. He says that the two studies thus far carried out on the Bluesfest site have reached the same conclusion and that is that aversive behaviour is occurring in response to the festival event. ‘Clearly, those animals in close proximity to the event feel sufficiently threatened that they have to move out’, he said. ‘Firstly, there is no evidence that the koalas at the Bluesfest site are resilient; to the contrary, the results of both studies have demonstrated that high mortality rates prevail at the local population level. Whether this is because of the festival and associated activities is hard to say…’ In his opinion, Dr Fitzgibbon didn’t feel that the festival site had caused any damage to koala habitat. ‘There would be less habitat if Blues hadn’t taken the site over, as I doubt the previous tea-tree farmer would ever have re-planted areas for koalas… Blues is doing a great thing in monitoring and rehabilitating habitat’, he said. ‘But it is a tiny piece of land in a hugely fragmented landscape. We need wider efforts to achieve real wins for koalas’.

Schoolies vox pox in the Bay – fewer bogans

Sooey, Tom and Kyle from Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral College say it is the beaches and the girls that brought them to Byron, but also the quieter schoolies experience. Meanwhile Ally, Tahlia and Ally who attend a Catholic college in Melbourne also said they wanted a more peaceful, ‘chilled’ end of school break-up. Ally number two said she preferred Byron as it has fewer bogans. Photos Eve Jeffery

Lib senator fobs questions on E2 and E3 zones by MP Barham The following Hansard transcript (the official record of the proceedings of Parliament) was taken at the legislative council on November 15, 2012. It is between Liberal minister for finance and services Greg Pearce and Greens and MP Jan Barham. The Hon Jan Barham: My question is directed to the Minister for Finance and Services, representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. I refer to far North Coast local environment plans and the exercising of E2 and E3 zones and environmental overlays. Will the Minister provide advice about the review that is being undertaken, the timeframe involved and whether councils will be reimbursed for any additional work that is required because of changes to the plan, additional consultation and costs incurred from the Minister’s late intervention? The Hon Greg Pearce: I presume when the Hon Jan Barham is referring to the Minister she is actually referring to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure? The Hon Jan Barham: Yes. The Hon Greg Pearce: The Greens have been pretty active lately, haven’t they? In regard to the Public Service Association elections somebody called Ms Gardiner, whose supporters include Lee Rhiannon, Mr David Shoebridge – where is David – and Dr John

Kaye. Are they the same faction? Apparently they defected from – The Hon Jan Barham: Point of order: my point of order is relevance. The President: Order! The Hon Jan Barham has taken a point of order on the issue of relevance which probably has some substance. The Minister is encouraged to respond in a generally relevant fashion. The Hon Greg Pearce: What about poor John Cahill? Think about J J Cahill and the Cahill Expressway. Poor John Cahill has been pushed out by The Greens. The Hon Lynda Voltz: Point of order: The Minister is flouting the President’s ruling on relevance. The President: Order! I uphold the point of order. The Hon Greg Pearce: This question is about comments made by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. He was a supporter of Movember. I personally hate Movember: it is a crazy idea. John Cahill is a real advocate of Movember but poor John Cahill has been pushed out of his job in Movember by those nasty, rotten Greens, particularly Lee Rhiannon – The President: Order! The minister will resume his seat if he has nothing else that is generally relevant to add.

Brad and Jolina spell at state level Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The Ocean Shores Public School is proud to have not one but two excellent spellers. Bradly Smith and Jolina Wilbur travelled with their families and teacher Jill Hargreaves to Sydney recently to compete in the 2012 Premier’s Spelling Bee. Statewide over, 123,000 students were involved in the spelling bee at a school level. More than 3300 students from 857 schools competed in 42 regional finals. Just 42 students competed in the final at the ABC studios in Sydney and Ocean Shores provided two for an outstanding effort by a small rural school. Brad competed in the the senior division for students in years five and six and Jolina competed in the junior division for students in years three and four. The regionals were hosted this year at Ocean Shores and children from schools from Evans Head to Tweed Heads

Bradly Smith, Jolina Wilbur and teacher Jill Hargreaves have returned from Sydney’s 2012 Premier’s Spelling Bee

gathered at the school earlier in the year. Twelve-year-old Brad competed in 2010 at the state level as well, and this year made it to round four. His words this year were brumby, annul, capsicum, generous and the word he got stuck on: chronicle. At just nine, Jolina made a big impression on the contest making it to the seventh round and

stumbling on the word chagrin. She correctly spelled captain, candidate, gourmet, admonish, translucent and saxophone. Introduced in 2004, the competition is open to all government primary, central and community schools in NSW. For more information, search Spelling Bee at their website: www.artsunit.nsw. edu.au.

Author included in literary magazine Victoria Cosford

Hot on the heels of the publication of his first book and memoir, High Season, Jim Hearn has been included in the latest Griffith Review. Over 200 Australian writers submitted entries for the quarterly’s project on the novella, and Hearn’s was one of only six which were accepted. The Griffith Review is one of Australia’s leading literary magazines, showcasing the best established and emerging writers in the country. Its ‘Novella Project’ seeks to revive the literary form of the novella – longer and more complex than a short story, yet shorter than a novel. With the support of the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, Griffith Review initiated the project as a means toward encouraging writers to experiment with the form. Hearn’s story, entitled River Street, is in ways another version of High Season; its protagonist a junkie and a chef

whose self-loathing and absence of self-esteem ultimately result in a crisis which leads to salvation and redemption. It’s pacy and funny and confronting and moving and dark all at the same time, and like High Season fantastically depicts the chaos that goes on in a busy restaurant kitchen. Hearn has a brilliant ear for dialogue and a beautiful sense of timing and rhythm. The Echo asked him about his novella.

Exploring the transgressive ‘I wanted’, Hearn said, ‘to explore the transgressive side. ‘And I was attracted to the

romance of fiction and of writing a novella – it’s a nice form, they’re all intense, and you can’t maintain that intensity over the course of a novel.’ He said that he wanted to capture the sense of invisibility within the hospitality industry, but also the miracle of surviving it, transcending the chaos and coming out the other end. ‘That’s the miracle of chefs and waiters’, he said. ‘I went mad writing it, exploring transgression and that idea of survival. Anyone who does survive the first couple of chapters: there’s lots of humour there too. I also like to think that in the process (of writing it) I was finding my voice – that was the most rewarding thing for me.’ Jim Hearn will be running a workshop on the novella in early 2013 for the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre. The Griffith Review’s ‘The Novella Project’ is available locally at Mary Ryan’s ABC Shop in Byron Bay and all good bookstores.

Echo bucks trend in print decline Media junkies take note: the latest newspaper circulation figures have been released by the Audit Bureau of Circulation (www. auditbureau.org.au). The Echo’s circulation (23,190 copies per week) was 40 per cent greater than the Byron Shire News (16,607) for the six-month period to September 30, 2012. The Byron News is owned by Australian Provincial Newspapers (APN), which is one of the big players in regional media along with Fairfax and News Ltd. The Northern Star (APN) has seen a drop in circulation in both weekday and weekend editions. Its Saturday sales declined by just under eight per cent compared to last year. This wasn’t the worst result in the group: the Sunshine Coast Daily suffered a loss in readership of 10.2 per cent for its Saturday edition. But it’s not just APN: the Gold Coast Bulletin, controlled by Murdoch’s News Ltd, remained steady in its Monday to Friday editions but took a hit on weekends with a 12.7 per cent decline from last year. Niche media, including community weekly newspapers, recorded steady growth – with some exceptions. But the worldwide trend of print decline in daily news continues owing to a combination of fewer retail advertisers, corporate homogenisation, internet technology and a lack of response to reader needs. For APN’s latest strategy, see page 19. The response by the big corporate players to print revenue declines has been to drastically cut costs, resulting in a further reduction in the quality of journalism and fewer sales. The fear of offending powerful interests can also cause the print media to censor itself and thereby lose credibility with readers. Our community is one of the few in NSW with a locally owned independent newspaper. The Echo only survives because our readers value a free press that resists commercial pressure. Whether in print or online, the need for strong independent media is clearer than ever.

Australian federal politicians last week served up both the best and the worst they are capable of. The government finally accepted that the Catholic church could no longer escape the consequences of protecting the paedophiles in its ranks, and the opposition went along with the establishment of a royal commission into child abuse, despite the catholic fundamentalism of Tony Abbott and his close relationship with Cardinal George Pell. Then the government tightened the screws on the asylum seekers on Nauru, forbidding photographic coverage of their conditions, and the opposition not only went along with it but in the person of Tony Abbott shrieked that the government was too soft on ‘illegal’ immigrants (although it is not against the law to be an asylum seeker) and should reduce the number of places that are given to refugees on humanitarian grounds, despite his specific agreement to the present number just a few months ago. These extremes of policy invite speculation about what makes the Australian politician tick. We should protect our children from paedophile priests, naturally (although we have not done a good job of it in the past), but it seems we should also allow and encourage the abuse of other children by locking them up behind razor wire if that should be required in the delicate political calculus of retaining or acquiring office. Note that Tony Abbott when he makes untrue and inflammatory statements about the refugee issue does not have the excuse of some western Sydney bogan whose only source of information is Alan

Jones. Abbott is an educated man with all the statistics at his fingertips, or at least in the notebooks of his staff. He has no excuse for mistaking the situation of asylum seekers, still less for lying about it. When he does so, he does so for short-term political gain with no thought of the moral consequences. George Pell has a similar distant relationship to the truth. The announcement of the royal commission into child abuse was careful to make its terms wider than merely the Catholic church, although it is that church that has been overwhelmingly the worst offender, both in actual abuse and in cover ups. Nevertheless, Pell was immediately playing the victim and insinuating that the whole affair was somehow an invention of the media. In another enquiry in Melbourne last week a witness said the cardinal had a ‘sociopathic

Byron Shire Council has adopted New Year’s Eve 2012 Alcohol Prohibitions for Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. The community is accordingly notified that alcohol will not be permitted to be carried or consumed in the nominated prohibition areas during the times advertised, as an important community safety initiative.

lack of empathy’ towards the victims of abuse. So he does, no doubt, just as federal politicians and, if we are to believe the polls, a majority of voters have a sociopathic lack of empathy towards those fleeing the bloody aftermaths of wars in Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. No good can come from the government’s refugee policy as long as it continues to be driven by fear of voters misinformed by radio shock jocks and extreme right-wing groups. Asylum seekers need to be processed on our mainland according to the international treaties we are supposed to uphold, rather than be punished in island concentration camps as an example to deter others. (Or, as Abbott puts it, ‘for taking advantage of our good nature.’) The number of people we receive should be put in the context of our overall population and the much greater numbers in other countries where refu-

gees land. Demystifying the refugee question, however, is difficult when the 70 per cent of our media that is controlled by Rupert Murdoch has a direct interest in creating social anxiety for political and commercial purposes. Some good may, on the other hand, come from the royal commission. In the first place it is likely that George Pell will shortly be removed from Australian public life. His superiors will surely view his flat-footed, pachyderm performance as a liability when the commission begins. A promotion to the Vatican, where he already has a high profile as the cardinal who persuaded the Australian faithful to donate millions to various vanity projects in Rome, might be on the cards. The main benefit of course will come from the relief of those who get to tell their stories and finally be heard instead of sneered at by a church hierarchy intent on destroying the victims’ credibility and covering up the perpetrators’ crimes. In the long term one can hope that the investigation – when allied to the similar Ryan commission in Ireland – will prompt genuine changes. Rather than merely instigating an awareness of the need for criminal reporting within the hierarchy, the outcome desired by most lay catholics would be to tackle the roots of the misogyny and paedophilia that grow so rankly in the church. The institution of married priests, for example, as obtained in the first millennium of its existence, would help steer the ship back towards Jesus and away from all the saintly usurpers of his message.

Tell me lies about coal-seam gas results while publicly criticising them), and the O’Farrell government (whose strategic regional land use policy does not include baseline testing for this or any other impact of the industry) have been caught out big time, and again the people have been proven right, even though Peter has continuously claimed we give out false information. I think we all remember it was the same Peter Henderson who claimed on ABC radio about 18 months ago that they (Metgasco) wouldn’t go anywhere they were not wanted! Well, I’ll tell you here and now, Peter, the results of surveys of residents across the northern rivers and a poll conducted by the NSW Electoral Commission in Lismore City Council area, show clearly that you and your industry are not welcome in the northern rivers! This is the same Peter Henderson who has repeatedly

claimed CSG is clean and green and safe when all evidence shows it’s a filthy, harmful industry until the point of burning‌ but where is it to be burnt in Australia Peter? All I’ve read shows it’s to go overseas for burning and will do nothing to reduce carbon emissions in Australia, but actually adds to our contribution to global warming. Besides, BHP stated in May this year that they have more than enough natural gas from Bass Strait to supply eastern Australia well into the future. China and other countries will get the carbon offset benefits and we here in Australia will get the bill for cleaning up the health and other impacts of this dirty industry! And yet you have the gall to tell us we should welcome you and the industry with open arms. Get a grip, Peter! As for Peter’s ongoing claims that Metgasco is focused on

supplying local users, why would they want a pipeline (whether it be north to Ipswich or east to the coast) unless they wanted to tap into the export market? People should also be made aware that there is a big difference between natural gas and unconventional gas (CSG). Odd – with all this, Peter and his ilk accuse citizens of giving out false and misleading information. Wasn’t it Peter and our own Thomas George who insisted that the government’s strategic regional land use policy was rigorous and stringent, yet they hadn’t even done baseline testing‌ ha, they all look very silly today don’t they? Funny too how they talk about the jobs they will create, but never mention the many more jobs that will be lost due to this industry.

It is interesting to read the scientific data put out by the Southern Cross University researchers in relation to fugitive gas emissions coming from the gasfields in Tara in Central Queensland. The research results from highly accredited scientists from a well regarded university, using the latest technology, are being disputed and disparaged by Metgasco CEO Peter Henderson and the industry body APPEA (talk about vested interests!). It seems they are going to great lengths to discredit any scientific data that do not support the coal-seam gas industry, and it’s great to see the vicechancellor of SCU, Peter Lee, speaking up for these same scientists and the university they represent. It looks like Peter Henderson, APPEA, Martin Ferguson, federal minister for resources (who admits he has not even read the research

Some properties in the hills are obliged to construct and maintain all-weather roads between them and their neighbours to fulfill fire safety conditions for a DA application. In the light of this, the Wilsons Creek bottleneck and a threatening fire season, it might save a few lives if North Rocks Road and access to the Doon Doon valley were restored. If the Mullum access were blocked, for whatever reason, I should think a couple of escape routes would be welcomed by how many people? In the aftermath of a disaster, like the Victorian fires, keeping them closed might be judged as gross negligence, not unlike running a nightclub with the fire escape doors locked. Jim Nutter

Main Arm Despite the fact that not one house has been destroyed by bushfire in Byron Shire in the history of the shire (140 years) we are being fed information that we are continually under threat. The facts are that devastating bushfires are nourished by three factors: 1. High temperatures for a long period – over 44 deg; 2. Low humidity; 3. High winds. These conditions are not spontaneous in Byron Shire for a lot of reasons. The cost of complying with a high-probability fire regime suitable for other parts of Australia where devastating fires are a certainty is unjustified by facts in our low- to negligible-risk environment. The situation is such that the media and the SES whip up fear to make news and empirebuild, pressuring the council to react. They have convinced council their fire trucks now require a 4m-wide driveway rather than the traditional 3m. Serious money. The idea that a house DA be rejected because of fire risk is absurd yet we are told the BSC planners are in that space. The idea that eucalypts in Byron (wet sclerophyll forest) should not be planted near buildings because of fire risk is again absurd. The facts are

there has never been a ‘crowning’ eucalypt fire in Byron Shire. Instant fire ‘consultants’ (TAFE part-time qualification) are quoting over $800 to provide a now-mandatory report to BSC on threats to rural acreage on all DAs – another earn for consultants. Perversely, a high risk of grass fires due to many degraded paddocks not being farmed, grazed or slashed goes unpublicised. Similarly the melting of plastic tanks and plumbing in such grass fires should limit their use in a rural environment. I ask that all those ‘new’ to the shire and to our country, including the incoming GM and local firefighters, become educated by those who do know – firstly our Aboriginals and White historians and forestry scientists, Frank Mills and others.

Pumping up the volume

Does the humming noise from your neighbour’s pool pumps bother you in your house between 8pm and 7am seven days a week? If it does bother you, then you can by law ask them to switch them off at these times. I have been suffering poolpump noise in my home now for seven years. I have asked the owners of the nearby property to please switch them off during these hours as they are causing me great distress. Their arrogant answers were ‘they are off ’, ‘wear ear plugs’, ‘sleep with the radio on to dampen the sound’, or ‘just ignore it because there’s nothing we can do, they need to be on at night to run our water features’. Bad luck, neighbours. Council have tried many times to resolve the problem, but they gave up and suggested I take them to court, which I’ve enquired about. There is no legal aid and I would have to represent myself and pay all costs if I lose. Is all this fair? If you have a problem with noise from neighbours’ pumps ring me on 0413 683 374 so we can organise a group to lobby council to do more. For example there needs to be an afterhours worker to go around checking for compliance. Glen Van der Merwe

Complex conflict 1

At last a clear, concise explanation of the so-called Syrian Conflict. There has been little explanation of this war in the Australian press. Richard Mordant’s article gave me an insight into this region and explained its complex history. I am at a loss to understand why the West appears to be com-

pletely behind the rebels, but gives no reason why. Maybe it is just all about the oil. Thanks to The Echo for publishing this informative article. G Fountain

Complex conflict 2

Israel boasts of surgical strikes which have killed over 115 Gazans – mostly children and women – and injured about 900. US-supplied bombs and missiles have blitzkrieged whole neighbourhoods. Hamas’s rockets on the other hand have not flattened a single building and only killed three Israelis who, by the way, are living illegally on Palestinian land. We’d have to say Hamas is far more adept at surgical strikes than Israel. Gaza festers under six years of illegal Israeli blockade and the West Bank suffers military oppression from 500 Israeli checkpoints and daily violence from illegal Israeli settlements. Professor Richard Falk, the UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine, has castigated Israel for its violations of international and humanitarian law but, even so, the West continues to turn a blind eye to the dire plight of Palestinians. Maybe Hamas has adopted this rocket strategy to provoke Israel and thus raise Palestine and Gaza to headline status in the world’s media. Gareth W R Smith

LEP misgivings

Look, if you want to cover your 5, 10, 50 or 100 hectare lots with trees then go for it. A wonderful objective, all very admirable. However, there are many inaccuracies with the current LEP. The zonings of the LEP are based on incorrect mapping. What! You have to be kidding me. A document that has taken years to produce is based on incorrect mapping. But it’s okay as every landholder in the Shire can simply send Council their correct mapping then Council can re-jig the zonings correctly. Just leave it with Council. Sorry, no thanks. Mr Bekker in last week’s letter states that current land use will be maintained. Cut and dried, very simple. Well, unfortunately no, as the 12-month limit is a ridiculously short period for a landholder. The change-of-use issue raises many questions which are very relevant, and require detailed discussion and is not as simple as has been presented. To polarise this into a themversus-us issue does this community a great disservice. If you do not ask the uncomfortable questions obviously continued overleaf

Sailing high seas with inoperable gadgets Simeon Michaels

I’m in Las Palmas, the Canary Isles, about to take part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (the ARC). Over 230 cruising yachts will depart on November 25, making it the world’s largest cruising rally. I am in the sailing world, but not of it, and I’m crewing, which means I jump aboard someone else’s boat, and we put our lives in each other’s hands for the three weeks it takes to get across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. The potential for peace and pleasure, danger and discomfort, and being stuffed into a small space with a bunch of blokes and poor shower facilities makes every ocean voyage a mini-odyssey. I got here by sailing 640 nautical miles from Portugal on a 44-foot Bavarian yacht. The boat’s owner is wealthy, influential, and one of the nicest people you could meet. Having made his fortune at 35 he now just wonders about, and when he meets people he likes he helps them to get ahead. This doesn’t change the fact that he had a lot to learn about ocean sailing. To prepare the boat for the crossing it was stacked to the gunwhales with a radar and high-tech navigation aids, diesel and wind generators, a water maker and to

top it off, a domestic fridge, all untested. Which was great for the first two days of light winds, but when we were hit by a cold front, well, no amount of gad-

Sailing, romance-soaked, battle-stained, empireshaking, legend-making, and in grievous peril of losing its essence to high-tech gismos… getry could change the fact that it was blowing 35 knots, the seas were building, the yacht was heeled over hard, belting into waves, and steadily falling apart. First the fridge broke loose from its brackets and toppled into the corridor. Then the sea toilet broke down. With the yacht leaning to port it could suck water from the ocean

to open the fridge door, or eat whatever fell out first. For the next two days, ‘Fridge tack’ and ‘Toilet tack’ were the calls to helmsman, depending on crew’s need for input or output. If, however, a crew member was in the toilet and the boat heeled over extra, the freezer door would swing open, the drawers would leap into the corridor and jam up

against the toilet door, and the crew member was stuck inside until their cries for help were heard above the pounding hull and banging sails. Then we discovered that the fancy electronics not only failed to charge the batteries, but flattened them completely. The autopilot went down with everything else and we were hand steering. Then exhaustion set in. Then the engine melted down while we were trying to charge the batteries. Then the furler on the genoa broke and we were overpowered, pushed steadily towards the African coast in a dark, smelly boat, where it is rumoured a catamaran was wrecked on the rocks last week, losing all hands. Our crew hung tight. And then… at 3am on our fifth day, the wind swung in our favour, and we were flying through the night at eight knots, under full sail, surfing and whooping on the edge of rudder control, straight down a highway of glistening silver towards the crescent moon, and nothing else mattered.

Profit for whom?

Byron Shire has one public boat ramp to the ocean and this is via Brunswick River. The Pass at Byron is accessible only at certain times and to certain people. All three caravan parks in Brunswick may very soon be sold by the Department of Lands. Once sold these river walks will be lost to us forever. The Massey Greene park encroachment onto the Brunswick Yacht Club area restricts space for launching canoes and small craft and the Terrace park could potentially close the Ferry launching ramp to the ocean. In the event of a marine emergency this would also create a disastrous situation. Wouldn’t it be an improved situation if these private interests were to return land they have encroached upon and council maintain safe boatlaunching ramps? Kaye Groves

When newspapers compete with their own clients… This story started in our sales department. Local papers watch each other, and as soon as one latches on to a new advertiser the others try to get a piece of the action. So it was natural for our sales manager to check out a new advertiser in The Echo’s local competitors, especially as the new business was spending up big, so it seemed. BE, or brandsExclusive.com. au, has been placing full pages and two page spreads to advertise their cheap online offers in the newspapers owned by Australian Provincial Newspapers (APN), publishers of the Northern Star and Byron Shire News. Imagine our surprise to learn that brandsExclusive.com.au is also owned by APN. According to The Wall Street Journal of June 21, 2012: ‘APN News & Media has acquired an 82% stake in online shopping company brandsExclusive for an upfront payment of 36 million Australian dollars.’ The WSJ quotes an anonymous Macquarie analyst: ‘This acquisition is a continuation of APN’s strategy to diversify its earnings base away from structurally challenged traditional printing assets and into

higher growth digital assets.’ So on the one hand APN is inviting local small businesses to spend money advertising in their ‘structurally challenged’ papers, and on the other hand undermining them by saturation promotion of its online shop selling practically all consumer goods up to 80% cheaper than those goods can be bought in bricks-and-mortar stores such as the local businesses have to pay for! There are a few issues here. You might expect some sort of disclosure might be in order. After all it’s one thing to sell ads independently to two suppliers from beginners to those who’ve played forever are welcome, as are all lovers of words, word games, brain gym, anagramming and making new friends.

of sunglasses, quite another to sell an ad to one business and then use the power of the newspaper to run huge ads for your own competing sunglasses store. Apparently APN is pushing its online shop in all the areas where it owns newspapers. In some places it has been pursuing the campaign even more aggressively than here. The Sunshine Coast Daily has been particularly enthusiastic in promoting brandsExclusive and on Friday online media newsletter Crikey reported, ‘Regular Sunshine Coast Daily advertisers from Caloundra to Noosa say brandsExclusive is a direct competitor and that their ad cash has effectively been used to compete against them and potentially shut them down.’ Crikey quotes from an email directed to local business owners from Darren Carter, managing director of Caloundra sign and printing firm Computercut: ‘Notice on their ads that it does not mention anywhere that they own this business.

They are taking hard earned money from local retailers for advertising (in a media they themselves no longer believe in) and the revenue from this is used towards a business that is trying to take their profits and market share, in effect to put them out of business. Because they don’t need shop space, and because of the size of the business, they offer up to 70% off and free delivery. They use their papers to run massive double page ad campaigns that they know none of their local competitors can ever afford, and parade themselves as self confessed “champions for local businesses”. Oh… the profits go to the majority shareholder in Ireland and don’t stay local. Would you advertise with a company that is using your funds to try to put you out of business? You probably wouldn’t. That’s why they are deliberately hiding this from our community.’ A cynic might say APN are running this campaign because they know their print publications are failing. Maybe they don’t care how many Byron retailers they hurt with their ads because it won’t matter if the Star and the News close as long as they’ve driven enough retailers out of business to benefit brandsExclusive.com.

What are smart meters? A smart meter is an electronic meter for electricity that has a capability for remote communication. Most small electricity customers (less than 160MWh per year) still have their consumption measured by traditional ‘accumulation’ meters. These meters generally record total consumption over a three month period. This means customers are charged the same amount for the electricity they use no matter what time of day it is used. New electronic meters (NEM) have the capability to measure consumption for a number of separate periods in the time between a meter read. In the NEM, electricity is priced and sold in 30-minute periods known as intervals – so these new meters have been referred to as ‘interval’ or ‘time-of-use’ meters. However, not all interval meters have the capability of remote communication. Smart meters add the capacity for remote communication. This would allow the meter owner or the electricity supplier to send or collect information directly from the meter and the customer. Information could include consumption data for billing purposes, notice to a supplier of an outage affecting a customer or notice to the customer about prices at a given time of day.

to pay different rates for electricity based on when it is used. Why are smart meters being considered? The National Electricity Rules (the Rules) already require the use of interval meters for large customers. A key benefit of smart meters (ie those with remote communication) is to give greater control over costs to electricity suppliers and customers alike. Interval meters permit electricity distributors and retailers to charge prices for electricity that match the costs at different times – ie time-of-use pricing. This gives customers a better signal about the true cost of their consumption when compared with traditional ‘single rate’ or ‘flat’ tariffs possible with old metering technology. What is time-of-use-pricing? This is a type of customer tariff that varies the price of electricity for different periods of the day. It can include ‘dynamic peak pricing’ – this involves very high prices for limited periods of extreme peak demand (usually related to very hot or very cold weather) and communicating these periods to customers (usually a day ahead).

GIVEAWAYS* OMAR GOD! We have a double pass to see Omar Rodriguez Lopez Band at the Hotel Great Northern on Friday – email gigs@echo.net.au with subject header ‘Omar God’ and we’ll see what we can do!

The two friends were inspired to embark on an exciting new project, ‘Come Together’, stopping in at the Brewery, complete with nine-piece band! As friends, how was it being cast as rivals on The Voice ? Did it affect your friendship in anyway? MAHALIA: We were a little disappointed they put us against each other because we both wanted to go further together, but it didn’t cause any friendship dramas. If anything, it strengthened our friendship even more. Has teaming up afterwards helped deal with any competition issues that may have arisen? PRINNIE: No, The Voice was such an amazing experience. And even though the battle between Mahalia and me was difficult, it never came between us as friends; in fact it only made us stronger. We decided together to do the show. And I’m so glad we did. M: There were no issues to deal with. We are just having a good time together making music. What do you learn from each other? P: We learn so much from each and every day. We’re so different, both on and off stage. We approach songs differently and push each other in different areas. We also approach situations very differently too, and we really balance each other out and have each other’s backing in all situations. M: Prinnie and I are such different performers, such different singers. We approach almost everything completely differently. You have both done your time as backing vocalists. What is it like stepping to centre stage ? P: I know for me it was a definite journey getting to the front of the stage. I didn’t have the confidence to be at the front for a very long time. Singing with some amazing singers like Guy Sebastian helped me build my confidence. I have to say though, being a backing vocalist is hard work and a definite art form! I really do miss it! M: I love doing BVs. We’ve both done a lot of BVs, but we’ve both also been solo artists

Y O U R

for a long time and done a lot of gigs as lead singers too. It’s a completely different thing but I love both. In Come Together, what are some of the songs you chose and how do they both reflect your individual styles? P: It’s funny the songs that we chose were the ones that suited the other person. We’re both mothers and tend to think of others before ourselves. I chose Best of My Love knowing that it was a part Mahalia’s voice no-one had heard before and I wanted to showcase that on the album You both grew up in Sydney; how did you come to meet and work together? P: We both met on the Sydney live scene with many mutual friends. We were both part of the urban scene and at that time; it was tiny! We have a close group of friends that we’ve kept from that time and we’re like a family. M: We met through the local music scene and had a few friends in common. We were playing around the same sort of gigs and with similar musos. We became really close friends and actually never really worked much together until The Voice. What are the challenges carving a career in the music industry? P: It is not an easy industry! There is no rhyme or reason to anyone’s success or failure. You’ve just got to follow your heart, believe in your talent and the project you’re working on! Integrity goes a long way. Both Mahalia and I are about longevity! M: It is tough. Trying to motivate an audience to get off their couch and come to see gigs can be a challenge. Getting your music played on radio or TV is really difficult. There are a lot of people who will criticise you no matter what you do, so it’s important to really love what you do and be yourself – that way it doesn’t matter what anyone says. You have to be a bit thick-skinned. You have to be willing to work hard and be really persistent. You were both already well-known names before The Voice. What made you decide to take that on, and what did you think it would give you? P: We both took a huge gamble! No-one knew if the show would succeed. The producers spoke to us and convinced us that they were about showcasing artists… true artists! I have no regrets! I loved being apart of The Voice. M: A huge opportunity. A great chance to sing for a whole new audience and hopefully

...coming together win over a few new fans. What’s your dream gig? P: My dream Gig… A PRINNIE world tour with my dancers and band! Visiting new cities and getting to see the world. M: I don’t know. I love being on stage all the time. I guess singing a few songs with Aretha, Tina Turner, Stevie and other amazing soul singers to a great audience… really any show to a great audience. I’ve done a lot of dream gigs. What should we expect for your show at the Byron Brewery? P: A fun-filled few hours of great songs! We have a nine-piece band with full band, horns, and two energetic backing vocalists. Mahalia and I will take people on a journey. Yes, we are powerhouse singers and we will have the big show-stopper numbers, but also expect some beautiful broken-down moments that

WHAT WOMEN DON’T WANT Every couple of months some major publication will have another bash at that nagging question of ‘What Women Want’. Personally I find offensive the whole premise that all women would be wanting the same thing. How dare someone suggest that the responses of 1500 women surveyed online should somehow reflect the real situation for anyone else. And who did they survey? Nice middle-class mums with well-washed children and working husbands and computers. Did they survey junkie women? Chronic-gambling women? Disabled women? Schizophrenic women? No, probably not, because they weren’t online. Maybe if you asked what those women wanted they’d say ‘access to a computer’. ‘Three lemons.’ ‘To stop being followed by the CIA.’ These surveys are bogus. Newspapers conduct their own very flawed research and then encourage us to accept the results of their silly little in-house survey as news. As if they are the harbingers of the mores, wants and struggles of popular culture. The most recent What Women Want online survey was conducted by

Dolphins at the Star Court

live music

Sunday Life magazine last week, publishing the responses of a bunch of middle-class women who are troubled by their inability to say No. Oh, how my heart bleeds for you poor privileged bitches (of course I am one of them). Maybe that’s the only reason why those 1500 peoplepleasing pretties completed the survey in the first place. They couldn’t say No. Too afraid of not being disliked to press the Delete button. I don’t know if survey writers have considered this, but women are not one homogenous group. Sure we all have vaginas, but that’s not enough of a common denominator to start peddling bullshit that we all want the same thing. Or that black women, Jewish women, old women, white women, poor women, rich women, sick women, mentally unwell women, Christian women, incarcerated women, lesbian women, hetero women, dying women all want the same fricking thing. I don’t think if you surveyed a few junkie women that they’d say something as fluffy as ‘Kylee 42’ who declared her middleclass hardship: ‘I am always doing things for others and rushing around like a mad person… I would like to be able to slow down and smell the roses but life is too busy. There’s always something to do or someone to see or help.’ Oh dear, Poor You. You’re lucky to have roses to smell. There are a lot of women out there who have shit for roses and plenty of time to smell it. In my brief survey I did with imaginary women here’s a quip from one of my respondents, Kaylee, a heroin user for 16 years. When asked what she wants, we find she has no problem saying No to people, just to herself. In fact she also rushes around like a mad

person, but that’s just finding stuff to hock so she can score. Kaylee is sick of being criminalised and being forced into poverty and she’d like injecting rooms and access to free government-regulated heroin. She’d also like the flat next door to Kylee 42. How can you even ask women what they want like it’s a question that can be satisfied with one tidy answer? Every woman in every circumstance would change her answer every day. What do I want today? Well, today I guess I’d like someone to unpack the dishwasher without being asked. I’d like the landscaping fairy to visit my front lawn and build me a retaining wall. I’d like to know what it’s like to be a bloke for just 24 hours. I’d like to hold the remote control. I’d like a cock for a day. (Not for anything sinister, but I’d like to see the look on my husband’s face when I stood naked in the doorway at bedtime.) I’d like someone to clean my car. I’d like a massage. I’d like chocolate to make you thin. Actually, to be honest, I don’t care about any of that shit. What I really want is people to get off their self-pitying narcissistic arses and stop answering questions about what they want because they have too much in the first place, and start focusing on what the world needs. You know what women want? We want to stop having our lives, our feelings, our aspirations and our struggles trivialised by stupid online surveys that say WHAT WOMEN WANT when no-one, including us women, really has a clue.

Di Marco Polo Brisbane charmer Dave Di Marco is one good-looking man. He also writes beautiful music. Having begun his songwriting and musical career as a founding member of Brisbane indie-folk outfit Charlie Mayfair, Dave is now spreading his creative wings in pursuit of his solo musical passage, and today sees his debut solo release and taster off his forthcoming EP Dublin. This track is just really special. His calming melodies and raw vocals tell the story of that heartbreaking moment from the films we all pine for. With major influences in Glen Hansard (The Swell Season), Ray Lamontagne and Damien Rice, the sound Dave shares is nothing short of emotional raw folk from the heart. Friday at Byron Brewery.

Sugar Man

Is 2012–13 going to be Rodriguez’s year – again? His song Sugar Man was the highlight of the soundtrack to Heath Ledger’s 2006 breakout film Candy, and when Rodriguez came to Byron Bay the following year to play at Bluesfest, audiences were riveted at his performance of this haunting song about the world of drugs and dealers. But Urchins, Rascals and few knew the story behind the man, until now. Searching for Sugar Man Whippersnappers… is his story. It’s also a film about hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music. The multi-award-winning Searching for Sugar Man, from North coast artist Carmel Debreuil studied and honed her technical skills under her father, Canadian artist Marcel Debreuil. Carmel admits to the Academy Award-winning producer of Man on Wire, screens at Palace an obsessive prolificity, never sure that there will ever be enough time for Byron Bay Cinema from Friday… and Rodriguez himself returns to Byron Bay next year, once again her to capture all of her multifarious ideas in paint. taking to the Bluesfest stage.

Virgin Sacrifice for New Standups Saltwater Murris Bundjalung artist Michael Philp’s latest exhibition is astonishing. His work is takes on a minimalist modernist approach to his Murri heritage. Vivid blues and greens, tiny white boats, specks for stars, this is the work of a ‘Saltwater Murri’, hence the title of the show, My Saltwater Murris. The show speaks of Michael’s life as a child born to a white fisherman and a Murri woman on the Tweed coast. Since starting painting only seven years ago Michael was the first Bundjalung artist to be represented by national Indigenous-owned gallery DACOU, where he staged his first solo show. The body of work is an intimate recollection of personal memories as a child growing up on the Tweed River. His practice is the creation of ‘modern stories’, he says. Painting is a way for him to access his past and connect it to the present. He finds this process of reaching out to his past enriches his life today. These are stories of happiness, love, growth, fishing and death, all contained within the Midginbil landscape. Opens at DACOU in Alstonville on Saturday.

Mandy Nolan brings Comedy to the Ocean Shores Country Club Over the last 12 months comedians Mandy Nolan and Nick Penn have been performing the Nick Penn goes the Full Mandy comedy show at out-of-the-way clubs, halls and showrooms around the countryside. It was part of a push that Nolan says ‘was about the two of us going to where the audiences are, rather than expecting them to come to us! If you think about it, it’s eco-comedy, meaning if the punters don’t have far to go, or they can even walk to the gig, it’s only we funny people that have to burn carbon!’ Mandy and Nick’s latest comedy assault is planned on the seaside township of Ocean Shores. ‘I can’t believe I’ve never done a show at Ocean Shores!’ says Nolan. ‘For too long, this very lovely and idyllic place has been called nasty things like ‘Open Sores’. How rude! I’m going to Ocean Shores to deliver some comedy karma!’ Expect some jokes about Byron! Mandy Nolan and Nick Penn appear at the Ocean Shores Country Club on Saturday 8 December.

Festival of Ability This Wednesday is the International Day of People with a Disability, a day that recognises the achievements and contributions of people with a disability. This year in Byron there is a Festival of Ability at the Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Complex from 10am till 2pm. Artist with a disability, Peta Lipski of Ballina, has created Peta’s Puppets, which will feature at this free event. This show has been generated from a series of mentoring workshops in which a professional puppeteer has collaborated with an emerging artist with disability to create a unique puppet performance. Peta has been designing and creating her puppets for over 20 years using a variety of mixed-media techniques. She has been undertaking a series of mentoring workshops in partnership with Penelope Lowther, a professional puppeteer, performer and director. Together they are working to create a short stage performance at 1pm at the Festival of Ability. Don’t miss the other events of the day, including a morning talent quest!

And that’s just what is going to happen this Wednesday at the Starseed Gardens in Byron when he teams up with yoga teacher Claire Thompson – the two will focus on the relationship between the ecstatic dance floor experience and the meditational path of yoga. Giving personal and musical examples from their lives and careers, the two investigate what the classical yoga texts have to say about ecstatic experiences, and explore how a yogic and spiritual practice can help you bring this feeling of love, unity and connectedness off the dance floor and into the rest of your life.

BOOK REVIEWS Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt Tell the Wolves I’m Home is the kind of first-time novel that budding authors hope to accomplish; Carol Rifka Brunt’s debut offering grabbed me by the throat and refused to let go. It starts slow, but protagonist June Elbus’s take on the world is so mesmerising and unique that the narrative soon becomes entrancing. She is a girl who wears medieval boots, plays games in the forest behind the school and believes in the wolves of her imagination. She also carries a burning secret that threatens to be thrust into the light with the death of her best friend, Finn. It’s 1987 and Finn is no ordinary best friend for a young girl: he’s her uncle, godfather and a prominent artist. He is also dying. When June loses her beloved Finn she is left in a family who don’t understand her, with a heart full of grief and the portrait he painted of her and her sister before he died. June must learn to be without him in a world where she feels so much a stranger, and it is here that the narrative is most breath-taking. It is the author’s ability to give emotional weight to the smallest details and nuances of

life, like the colour of buttons, the mess of a dying man’s apartment or discovering the lingering smell of Finn on his old coat, that make this book such a stand-out. This book made me want to be a more observant person just so I could see and feel like June. Objects mean so much to her, she expands her affection out from the one she loves to all they own, touch and embody. At its heart, Tell the Wolves I’m Home is a story about love – the right kinds, the kinds that sometimes feel wrong and the mysterious human heart that goes on beating and loving in ways that are often overwhelming. June’s adoration for Finn is all-encompassing, shining and naive. It’s almost a holy faith, a faith that the starkness of life inevitably crushes, but his death leaves her with an unlikely ally. Friendship – that unmistakable bond that heals and wipes away loneliness – is revealed in all its fragile glory and, as in June’s case, one friend is enough to make you feel like you belong. What she shares with this stranger is a sweet, syrupy surprise, and a testament to the gifts of redemption and healing that can always be found, even in those who seem least able to offer us anything.

Dads, Geeks & Blue Haired Freaks

of course, the inner turmoil of discovering the one person in her life who means more than anything.

by Ellie Phillips

This novel actively explores the ways in which parents influence their children’s lives. Sadie is a young woman who has never met her father and knows nothing about him but, now that she’s older, she feels as if a part of her was always missing and she needs to find him. The importance of parental guidance and friendship are addressed. The support she receives from Billy when she feels she cannot trust anyone else with her quest, makes her realise just how important having true friends in her life is.

Reviewed by Bridie Duff, Byron Bay High School Dads, Geeks & Blue Haired Freaks is a young adult novel written by Ellie Phillips, published in 2012. What would you do if your whole world was flipped upside down and you couldn’t do anything about it? Sadie Nathanson, a fifteen-year-old girl living in England with a particular talent for hairdressing, is in exactly that predicament. On her birthday, Sadie receives a card from her father, but there’s one problem: up until now she didn’t have one. She is torn between forgetting it entirely, and going out to find the man with whom she shares half of her genetic makeup. Deciding on the latter, Sadie enlists the help of her cousin, computer geek turned guitar enthusiast Billy, to help her roam the internet in pursuit of a man who might reject her. Throughout her journey she suffers attacks from old friends; the embarrassing realisation that she likes a computer nerd; and,

Sincerely by Marieke Hardy & Michaela McGuire Dear Marieke Hardy, Little did I realise when I purchased Sincerely, the second volume spawned of your Women of Letters series, what powerful selfreflection it would inspire. Within its 400-odd pages of fictional correspondence are tales of regret, apology, lust and loss, penned by renowned Australian women (and some men) from diverse fields.

Each missive is alive with the author’s unique voice and each one dares the reader to ponder the question: To Dads, Geeks & Blue Haired Freaks is whom would I address my letter? a funny, witty novel aimed mainly at teenage girls. It perfectly captures the Thank you Marieke; this book has been mind of teenagers and the impetus for my own cathartic confesthe story is clever and sional (never to be published, of course). interesting.

1. It may have been created to provide pensions for some of Britain’s favourite old actors, but New Tricks (Friday, ABC1 8.30pm) is a watchable crime series if you don’t mind the absence of gunfire and explosions. The premise is a team of retired cops taking on cold cases, and the interaction of the old fogies is as important to the entertainment as the plot. 2. Moving from a series about credible human beings to a piece of meretricious rubbish, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (Saturday, Prime 9.30pm) concerns a group of Jewish American soldiers with a plan to assassinate Hitler. As usual Tarantino infuses his shallow and near nonsensical content with a pace and verve that make it seem like you are actually watching a good movie.

Skyfall I’ve read all of the James Bond novels, including the one written by Kingsley Amis (as Robert Markham) after Ian Fleming’s death. So I have an interest in and some appreciation of 007 as being an enduring touchstone for male fantasists. None of the movies have grabbed me, notwithstanding the peerless Sean Connery’s interpretation of the character, so if I were to declare that this is the very best of them it might sound like a backhanded compliment, but far from it. The boring action sequences are there, as you’d expect – it opens with a hideously loud car and bike chase through Istanbul and concludes with an equally noisy and near-interminable shootout in the Scottish highlands – but between these mandatory chook-feeding scenes there is a lot of introspection and oldfashioned intrigue. Bond, like all of us, is getting on a bit. It’s fifty years since Dr No premiered Casino Royale was published in 1953), but MI5/6’s famous agent has remained in step with fashion, weaponry, cars, changing social mores (he no

longer smokes two packets of ciggies a day) and his masters’ shifting political alliances and enmities. How refreshing, then, to find that director Sam Mendes has found time to allude to his subject’s yesterdays and to have him confront the unthinkable prospect of being put out to pasture. Given up for dead after a failed mission (nobody else could possibly have survived the bullet and the fall), Bond returns to London after a long absence and is reluctantly given a chance at redemption. Daniel Craig, if too short for the part, has finally convinced me – not because of his derring-do, cold blue eyes and granite pecs, but because of the dry humour and hint of melancholy that he has belatedly found in Bond. Best of all, though, is Javier Bardem’s Silva, an odious, mental villain in the grand tradition of Ernst Blofeld. Breathtaking night shots of Shanghai, a surprise ending and the cutely worked re-introduction of Miss Moneypenny all help to make this a winner.~John Campbell

Monsieur Lazhar How often do we find that it is the simple story that rewards us most? That it is the simple story that delves deepest into the profound and complex business of being human? Layered, calm and unhurried (it achieves in 94 minutes what many others can’t in two and a half overblown hours), this French-Canadian feature, based on a play by Evelyne de la Cheneliere, is a plain-speaking expression of hope and love. Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), an Algerian refugee, is hired at a Montreal school to replace a young teacher who hanged herself in the classroom (the process of his getting the job is not entirely believable, but that’s an insignificant quibble). His immediate task is to deal

with the children’s grief and sense of loss, then to proceed with the day-to-day demands of the curriculum. Bachir’s methods are anachronistic in the intensely regulated, politically correct environment of western education – he is chastised for giving one kid a deserved clip over the ear for his poor behaviour, while his dictation of Balzac is a throwback to an abandoned, discredited intellectual rigour. But it is his unorthodoxy and openness that endear him to the children. Soon enough it becomes clear that there are suppressed emotional wounds that must be healed – within the teacher as well as his pupils. As a man needing to have his own broken heart repaired through the act of attending to the hurt of others, Fellag’s elegant performance sets a tone of gentleness and kindness through civility, which is nowadays an antiquated concept. The gorgeous Sophie Nélisse as Alice, Bachir’s favourite, and Émilien Néron as the troubled Simon are both excellent (Simon’s cathartic moment is genuinely moving) in a room full of fine junior actors. Allowing the characters to expose their humanity without distraction, and perhaps influenced by the minimalism of the stage from which his material has been adapted, writer/director Philippe Falardeau’s approach is uncomplicated and direct but never abrasive. A beautiful movie – catch it while you can. ~John Campbell

Beasts of the Southern Wild I was astonished to discover that the filmmaker Benh Zeitlin is a Jewish New Yorker still in his twenties. Not only does his wondrous movie display a wisdom and benevolence not normally attributable to one so young, but his characters and location – the bayou country

of the deep South – are alive in a way that would otherwise suggest they could only have been created by somebody who spoke their tongue, breathed their air and trudged through their alligator-infested swamps. Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) is a six-year-old black girl living with her dissolute father, Wink (Dwight Henry), in ‘the Bathtub’, a ramshackle community of society’s outcasts and deros. Over the horizon, behind a flood-wall, are the towers of industry and commerce, but Hushpuppy will never be part of that world. When we first meet her she is wearing a singlet, orange knickers and white gumboots, and she is holding to her ear one of the chicks that will eventually provide a meal for her. She listens to its heartbeat, she speaks to us: ‘The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right’. Despite their dire poverty and isolation, she and her dad are devoted to each other and, in a way that is incomprehensible to more well-off outsiders, they and their fellows have found their own happiness and sense of belonging. Wink, however, is dying with an incurable illness and Hushpuppy must come to terms with the looming loss as a ruinous storm sweeps in from the coast. And all the time she is troubled by the fearsome idea of the prehistoric aurochs… There is more than just the occasional echo of Tree Of Life in the impressionistic, fluid approach, but where Terrence Malick gave us highfalutin drivel, Zeitlin’s modesty and unfailing eye for the unbowed humanity of his subjects is always inclusive. Wallis and Henry are both remarkable and, near the end, when little Hushpuppy confronts the aurochs, I’ll be damned if I didn’t burst into tears. Unique, bold and, even with the hand-held camera, a soaring achievement. ~ John Campbell

It was the sound of restaurants that was Che Devlin’s first memory. The clatter of crockery and the clinking of glasses, the laughter and the animated chatter of diners in his parents’ restaurant on top of a hill overlooking Byron Bay : this was what he fell asleep to every night. And this was what informed his decision to be a restaurateur, just like his parents.

He always travelled on his own, and he always travelled ‘just for food’, eventually discovering Che and I are sitting in a small room at Fig Tree the joys in simple, authentic cooking which represented and celebrated provenance, food restaurant over glasses of chilled sparkling mineral water. It’s a sunny late Friday morning which tasted of its origins – a discovery which ultimately determined his own style. He very and before us an endless table adorned in nearly opened a restaurant in Scotland (‘the crisp white tablecloths awaits the arrival of a pantry there is amazing!’) except that his wedding party (unsurprisingly, such events are commonplace here). Beyond, much parents were threatening to sell Fig Tree. The further beyond in a hazy distance, lies the idea of one day running a restaurant together bay. I am finding out what it was like to grow had always been discussed between Che and up in a restaurant. ‘This was mum and dad’s Jules and so they took over; some years later bedroom’, Che tells me, indicating the space they opened a second restaurant, WhyNot, in accommodating us. ‘They’d move their beds Byron Bay proper. Gradually the latter became on service nights.’ Jules’s baby while Che ran Fig Tree. It was in the early eighties when young Both have their own distinctive characters, but hippies Charlie and Heather Devlin purchased what particularly distinguishes Fig Tree, apart the old farmhouse perched on a hill in Ewingsdale and set about transforming it into from its spectacular location and outlook, is the kitchen garden Che is cultivating, manned a restaurant. Charlie was a trained chef and by Thomas The Gardener. The long-running he wanted a restaurant overlooking Byron farmers market tasting menus on Thursday Bay. They opened on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for dinner only, keeping Sunday for nights are generally booked out (with good family day. Heather, apart from raising four reason: they are truly wonderful) and Fig sons, did the books. ‘We’d be peeling onions’, Tree’s own garden will merely amplify and Che recalls, ‘and hanging out with the kitchen embroider upon these. ‘That’s where I think staff. You can’t ever remember how old you the future of this restaurant lies’, Che tells are when you start‌ all I know is that growing me. ‘The greatest thing about restaurants is up in a restaurant is brilliant. But then I don’t that you can evolve‌ It’s what I love about know anything different. It certainly makes restaurants: you can keep changing, it keeps you grow up quicker.’ evolving.’ Out of the four boys, only two chose to Che’s passion for the restaurant life is almost remain in the hospitality industry: Che and palpable. ‘I love the fact that it’s hard and it’s his younger brother Jules. In his late teens long and it’s sweaty. At the end of the day you Che began to travel the world – Asia, Europe, sit down and you’ve created food, created the Middle East. ‘My father suggested I do something different’, he tells me, ’and I did for something beautiful, and worked so hard...’

She loves people and can be very sweet and affectionate - however she is very stressed at the shelter and has become withdrawn. She desperately needs a loving home to bring out her true personality. Do you know someone willing to give Prada a chance? She would prefer a home with no other cats. To meet Prada, visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby.

Boys’ sport a new direction Ponting seeks out Bruns Milos A group of boys from Mullumbimby High School are giving their lives more direction through sport. Through the Mullumbimby Byron Youth Services Men’s Group, the students are putting more meaning into their relations with each other, the community and their schooling with sport as the catalyst. Each Tuesday afternoon they meet with local athlete and mentor Joe Robinson. They do some fitness training, play some volleyball and touch football, learn about their own health, and talk about the kinds of issues teenage boys often deal with without having much opportunity to do so freely and in confidence. Sport has been chosen as a catalyst for the program as many in this group are very talented young men who have represented the school, local clubs, zone, region and even state in a variety of sports. The program is aimed at ensuring the boys remain engaged or improve their engagement at school.

Relieving principal Donna Pearson says the school is very happy to work with other agencies that complement the work of parents and the school in supporting local young people building their lives. ‘The group is open to Year 10 boys who feel they might benefit from a space outside the school environment where they can interact informally with their peers, get involved in some team sport, and learn a bit about growing up from each other and the Youth Service workers’, said Donna. ‘The boys get a lot out of being able to hang out with

mates in an environment that’s very relaxed and supportive. ‘In the longer term these traits encourage the boys to think about their own goals and how best to work towards them. The program’s track record proves it’s an excellent fit with the work of the school, and we look forward to it continuing into the future’. t 3FGFSSJOH UP MBTU XFFL T BSUJDMF .S 3PCJOTPO IBT TBJE UIBU IJT SFNBSLT XFSF JOUFOEFE BT HFOFSBM DPNNFOUT BOE XFSF OPU BQQMJDBCMF UP UIJT HSPVQ The Echo BQPMPHJTFT UP UIF GBNJMZ BOE GSJFOET PG UIF CPZT

A gr0up of Mullum Bruns junior cricketers had their very important photo shoot bombed recently by star cricketer Ricky Ponting. The lads, who were at the Gabba as part of the Milo junior cricket season program, were preparing to provide the lunchtime entertainment for the crowd enjoying November’s South Africa V Australia. Ricky kept pestering the kids for autographs and insisted on joining them for their press conference. Either that, or he just happening to be warming up in the background while they posed near the practice nets.

The fourth annual Australian Football Awards were held at a gala event in Sydney last week where former Italian international and current Sydney FC marquee player Alessandro Del Piero, along with Newcastle Jets Emile Heskey, were the guests of honour. The Australian Football Awards brings together all levels of the sport from the grass roots football community through to the National ranks of the Qantas Socceroos and Westfield Matildas, providing a unique opportunity to recognise and reward outstanding achievements. ‘It’s a wonderful night for the game to celebrate the diversity of Australian football and pay tribute to everyone from the volunteers through to the superstars,’ said Football

Federation Australia CEO, David Gallop. Northern NSW Football was well represented at the awards. As well as Mid North Coast’s John ‘Chips’ Wainwright receiving the nod for Volunteer of the Year, Football Far North Coast’s Eureka FC Men’s 6th Division team picked up the award for Senior Team of the Year. From coming second last two years ago, the Eureka Football Club’s Senior Men’s team took out the ‘double’ of the minor Premiership and Championship of the Football FNC 6th Division competition.  A self-managed team with no designated coach, they work tirelessly to ensure their little community continues to have a football club and provide the role models for local children to help them learn

<echowebsection=Sport>

the importance of team work, sportsmanship and community dedication. ‘We are overwhelmed to have received this award and feel very humbled to have been selected for this recognition from the thousands of teams around the country’, said James Mayson, club president and player. ‘Our club is committed to promoting values of fairness and community engagement that forms the basis for grassroots football.’ Steve Mackney, Football FNC general manager said that win is a fantastic recognition for the team and our local area. ‘The team epitomises spirit, enjoyment and community and I am delighted that the FFA has determined Eureka to be a most worthy winner this year’.

Tallowood Ridge owners seek feedback The collective of owners of Mullumbimby’s Tallowood Ridge community say they have been actively pursuing research and feedback. Over the past three months they investigated possible land use options, current resident feedback and national and international trends in residential development. ‘We’re a passionate lot,’ said Tallowood director Christopher Dean. ‘A lot of information we gleaned over these past months confirmed what we already thought; however, new information has come to light, which has been invaluable. For example, we are keen to incorporate some kind of community meeting place, as well as the children’s park, and are now wiser regarding how to position such a facility and what elements may bring the most value to residents’. A day-long seminar for Ta l l ow o o d ow n e r s a n d consultants was held in September at the Lennox Head Cultural and Community Centre. Speakers included Australia’s leading urban design firm RPS Group, who outlined the latest trends in residential

communities, focusing on what is working and what isn’t. Local urban planner Ian Oelrichs discussed the need to define what a community stood for and Christopher Dean closed the day with a group meditation and visualisation. In October prominent national market research expert Dr James Cowley met with Tallowood Ridge residents at the home of Mandy Nolan. Mandy, a comedian and Echo journalist, was the first to complete her home in the community. She invited a number of other residents to meet Dr Cowley and provide feedback on why they purchased in Tallowood and how they would like their community to unfold. ‘Mullumbimby is the community that I moved to the north coast for,’ said Mandy Nolan. ‘It’s a very engaged, vital community and there’s so much access to entertainment – ukulele nights, comedy nights, the Mullum Music Festival. We fell in love with the land and the whole concept of Tallowood Ridge straight away. The vibrancy of Mullum is built on the people who live here’.

One project being investigated is a small technical hub. ‘It’s early days,’ said Tallowood director John Bennett, ‘however there may be some scope to use a few lots for a hub where like-minded people can mix and work together. Having the region’s first NBN coverage and also being a part of the forward-thinking, creative Mullumbimby region make this an idea we just have to explore’. Land at Tallowood Ridge is priced from $186,000 for a 493m² near level block on a quiet street.

ECHO PROPERTY BUSINESS DIRECTORY Recent Client Feedback: After feeling disenchanted with the interest rate at my local bank, who were buying back my loan after they had sold it off to a Canadian bank without my consent, I was referred to Russel. From the very first conversation I felt relieved, I had no idea how to shop around, I don’t have the time or resources to do this. Within a week I had been presented 3 options. I went with one of these and after forwarding the necessary documentation, all online, which is so much easier for me, I was signing a new deal with a much improved interest rate and no ongoing fees. I was impressed with Russel’s personalised service, I had found the more patriarchal approach of my former bank frustrating and disengaging. Russel understood that I am time poor and matched the speed at which I like to move. I look forward to continuing to source current financial information and products in this way. Leanne G

On Sunday the Australian Monarchist League celebrated the 65th wedding anniversary of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh with a garden party at the homestead of Sir Trevor Garland KBE AM. League chair Philip Benwell took the opportunity to sneer at the appointment of former WA premier Geoff Gallop as head of the Australian Republicans and to denounce republicans as never being ‘a part of the people as we monarchists are.’ Mr Benwell also makes these loyal and irrefutable points: ‘The Queen has been married longer than any other monarch in history and The Duke of Edinburgh is the longest-serving consort and the oldest spouse ever of a reigning British monarch. Similarly, The Prince of Wales is the oldest ever heir apparent and will most likely be the oldest ever person to ascend the Throne.’ Q Q Q Q

A new poll by Essential Research shows more people supporting the carbon tax than opposing it. It’s only a slight percentage, but who would ever have imagined the carbon tax deliciously being more popular than Tony Abbott? Q Q Q Q

The Woolworths AGM last week rejected a motion designed to make the company clean up its act with regard to gaming machines, but there was plenty of media coverage of the

shattered lives caused by the pokies in Australia. Proponents of reform are not asking for much, and eventually the penny will drop even in the minds of revenue-obsessed, socially irresponsible corporate executives. Q Q Q Q

Last week’s ‘Click Frenzy’ campaign designed to lure consumers to online shopping sites fell flat when it turned out that the organisers had underestimated the server power they needed. Users gave up trying to reach hung-up sites and posted rude comments in the social media instead. Still, online retailing pops up in some odd places – see our article on page 19.

Duck shooting, or more accurately duck maiming, is on the agenda again with the unspeakably cynical Premier O’Farrell rewarding the Shooters and Fishers for their support by granting licences to shoot ducks after a couple of decades of bipartisan agreement that the practice was cruel and indefensible. The Shooters and Fishers have a less than double-digit percentage support among voters while the opponents of duck shooting form an overwhelming majority. But political horse trading dictates that ducks, and many other bird species, will now die painful and lingering deaths so that Barry can continue decimating the NSW public service.

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

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

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