As of of going to press, one of the highlights at this year’s Bluesfest was ex-Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, who gave an outstanding performance on Saturday night. Bluesfest wrapped up on Monday night with Paul Simon and Wilco, among many others. See Jeff Dawson’s pics on page 21. Photo Eve Jeffery

Braving the rain with my one and a half year old, we set out to see what adventures we might find at this year’s Bluesfest. For Emily, the adventure peaked on Friday at the rescue helicopter stand with a bright red balloon. But for me, it was on a baby-free Saturday night with Robert Plant and Iggy Pop. After finding a resting place for my car on the outskirts, I was happy to have the opportunity for a long walk. Navigating through the cattle runs toward the festival was surprisingly easy; I expected a boggy sludge from the thousands of human hooves traipsing in and out but I arrived

clean without the need for gumboots. Upon entry I headed straight for the longest queue in the festival: the friendly Latino coffee stall. They’re worth the wait. My drug of choice would only cost me $4 a pop and leave me functioning the next day. With two iced chais in hand I wander towards former Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant, sipping my liquid happiness. The crowd was thick. I contemplated joining the resourceful climbers attempting to catch a glimpse on the stands reserved for big ticket spenders. Security was onto it and my opportunity was lost. Anyway, his show was breathtaking. It was then I discovered my friend,

recently unencumbered by relationship, hanging out with a couple of top shelf comedians. And so we headed for Iggy Pop. Caught in her slipstream, I found myself right up the front and on the edge of the moshpit. I could go no further – my desire to hang onto the contents of my bag was too strong. I watched with vicarious awe as she dived into the spot where moments earlier Iggy had been crowd surfing, tethered by a cable man at the end of his mic from the stage. At 66 he’s still got it. The mood is contagious when you’re amid a crowd of sweat, pheromones and raw excitement. Suddenly I felt sorry for the Dia-

This could easily have been a recipe for disaster, but the generosity, patience and good humour of the carpark and cloakroom volunteers I encountered made for a positive and unforgettable festival experience.

It’s been revealed that a micro-hydroelectric turbine manufacturing company has been driven to bankruptcy by the state government and the Clean Energy Council (CEC). Furthermore it’s claimed the technology, which can run 24/7 on a source of running water and requires no batteries or inverters, has been largely ignored by politicians from both parties over many years. Five jobs were axed last Monday at the Dorrigo based plant, which was to turn fifteen years old in April. Pelena Energy director Peter Lynch told The Echo that after trying to obtain a production licence in Australia proved too difficult, he resorted to exporting to developing countries overseas. ‘Over the past 15 years,’ he says, ‘we have been forced to focus on high-risk countries like PNG, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu for sales because there has been an active – almost campaign approach – by various Australian state and federal agencies to exclude our technology from the renewable energy mix in Australia. ‘The crunch point has come primarily due to the inability to finish a job in Vanuatu. We shipped a turbine package but it got stuck on a wharf due to a dispute between our client, the Vanuatu Department of Energy and the provincial government agency responsible for the wharves.’ He says the final straw was when another job offer fell through from the Pacific island’s government over a week ago. ‘It’s a great shame that what we do has been proven to work, and is wanted, especially in the Pacific.’ Mr Lynch claims his stainless steel turbines outlast many others available, and include universal sized parts. continued on page 5

Police have said it was a quiet weekend in the shire with only minor infractions recorded so far during the holiday break. Two separate drug operations were in force. The first three days of the Bluefest saw dogs sniffing and police staff searching patrons at the entrance to the event as well as a caravan texting for drugs and alcohol on the western exit from town outside the Byron Bay hospital. Tweed–Byron duty officer,

Inspector Jim Kain, said that the results of the mini blitz wouldn’t be available until after Tuesday’s de-briefing at the Tweed LAC. He did say, however, that Bluesfest until Monday midday had recorded no major incidents and that police staff had dealt with a few minor offences and some trespass issues. He also said activity was quiet across the board. ‘We had a drug unit at Bluesfest for the first three days’, he said. ‘It’s a been a pretty good weekend, particularly in Byron Bay.’

The Arakwal and Byron Shire communities and people from all over the country came to say farewell to local man Uncle Mickey Kay last Wednesday at a remembrance service held at the Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Complex. Mick, who was 51, passed away unexpectedly. ‘His three daughters, who were very close to their dad, his grandchildren and the entire local Aboriginal mob are left overwhelmed and

very heartbroken with his sudden passing’, said Delta Kay, who read a eulogy at the service. ‘The Byron Community have given us so much love and support.’ Close to 1,300 people came to say goodbye to Uncle Mick; Gavin Brown led the proceedings and included Ian Cohen speaking on behalf of Jan Barham MLC, who was unable to attend. Various family and friends then shared stories after.

New festival launches Mini bus hits pedestrian, rolls at Ewingsdale at Bluesfest site Chris Dobney

A new festival for the Bluesfest site has been announced. Boomerang Festival will be a multi-arts event with an indigenous theme and will be held on Bundjalung land at the Bluesfest site over the Labour Day long weekend in October. Starting this year, Boomerang will be directed by Bundjalung woman and well known artistic director Rhoda Roberts. While program details are sketchy at present, Bluesfest director Peter Noble said Boomerang Festival would ‘define a true sense of place and belonging through some daring workshops, and ideas, forums and intergenerational exchange programs’. At the event’s launch on Saturday Mr Noble said, ‘This is a special moment for me per-

A Toyota Coaster bus travelling west on Ewingsdale Rd, near Belongil Fields, collided with a pedestrian at around 11.30 on Saturday night. The bus ended up down an embankment and rolled on its side while a 48 year old male who was crossing the road was hit by the right hand side bull bar and thrown onto the roadway. Tweed/Byron Duty Officer, Inspector Jim Kain said there Set for Labour Day were four women sitting in the front seat of the bus at the time long weekend of the accident. One passenger Also at the launch was fed- had her leg stuck and a second eral arts minster Tony Burke, passenger stayed in the vehicle who said he ‘wouldn’t be surprised’ if he saw applications for funding of the festival in the near future. But Mr Noble said the festival, which is estimated to cost $1.2 million to put on, would go ahead with or without funding.

sonally, and for us all – hosting a significant cultural event on the Bluesfest site which is actually Bundjalung country not only makes sense but makes me proud. Through the healing of music, the rhythm of language and the power of dance, it’s a time to have fun and gather as we recognise the similarities we all share.’

to assist her. Brunswick Valley Rescue and paramedics extracted the two women in the bus, which required the removal of seating and the use of spine board, hand tools, generators and lighting. The pedestrian suffered fractured ribs, leg injuries, shattered hip sockets, internal injuries bruising and lacerations. He was taken to Tweed Hospital where he is still being treated. The driver, a 38-year-old male, was taken to Byron for x-rays for suspected broken wrists. It is not clear if it was raining at the time of the accident.

Micro-hydro company faces closure continued from page 1

‘The success we’ve had with these systems is unmatched because they’re all still working, whereas almost all other hydro systems have failed. ‘The systems continue to generate clean, renewable electricity for communities, schools, and health clinics [overseas]. ‘This has resulted in significant development benefits for the communities such as electric lighting which allows children to undertake homework after dark and people to generate income through the use of their own electricity generating system. We’re solving one of the world’s biggest problems: energy independence, yet I have had no support.’

‘However, a micro-hydro (generating electricity 24/7) cannot be installed to the grid, nor any of the electricity used for any income generating purpose, unless a full EIA (environmental impact statement) has been carried out and approved – likely costing in excess of $120,000.’ Additionally he says, ‘A hydro which generates more than an average output per year of 2.8kw, or is larger than 6.4kw must be registered as a “power station” and subject to the same reporting requirements as all other power stations, like coal fired power stations. Solar PV systems under 100kw do not.’

Little to no political How it was killed off support from Nats

Mr Lynch lays much of the blame on the Clean Energy Council (CEC), who facilitate accreditation for hydroelectric installations on behalf of the government. ‘Pelena is, and has been, abused by the CEC from a number of fronts.’ He says the main issue is that ‘only those with photovoltaic (solar) accreditation can get micro-hydro accreditation.’ ‘Hydro experts are excluded from accreditation, and only PV accreditation can be maintained through regular PV approved installs. Basically, the hydro experts are excluded from accreditation.’ A spokesperson from the The Clean Energy Council confirmed the claims with The Echo. ‘The Clean Energy Council is in the process of introducing a stand-alone accreditation for micro-hydro and this should be ready to roll out within the next couple of months,’ he said. Notwithstanding, further claims by Mr Lynch suggest hydro’s potentials are being strangled further by CEC’s red tape. ‘A 100kw (kilowatt) PV solar system can be installed and connected to the electricity ‘grid’ without any issue in NSW,’ he says. ‘In fact, it has been promoted and significantly subsidised by state and federal governments.

Mr Lynch says support from his local state and federal MPs – both of whom are National party members – has been underwhelming. ‘I have been totally unsuccessful with successive [coalition and Labor] governments over the years,’ he told The Echo. State MP for Oxley, which covers Dorrigo, is Nationals leader and deputy premier Andrew Stoner, who is also minister for trade and investment. He advised The Echo through his media spokesperson, ‘The closure of any business and loss of jobs is disappointing particularly in regional NSW.’ ‘NSW Trade & Investment has provided advice, introductions and other business facilitation services to Pelena Energy over several years via our export advisers and business development managers on the north coast. The department also provided a grant to assist the company to develop a strategic marketing plan and website. ‘Pelena Energy contacted Trade & Investment on March 22 in relation to its current difficulties. It is understood that the decision to close the operation is purely a commercial decision.’ In reply, Mr Lynch says, ‘We received $2,549, which was less than half the total cost of

developing the website at that time. No assistance has been provided to Pelena Energy in any way before or since this date in 2004, despite numerous applications and meetings.’

Hydro not entirely ignored by govt But hydro hasn’t been completely ignored by the O’Farrell/Stoner government. In 2011, the same year they were elected, Business Spectator reported that $300,000 was awarded to NSW hydro company Waratah Power, for ‘funding to pursue research in small-scale run-of-river hydro schemes in NSW’. As of 2013, Waratah Power’s website is light on detail regarding its projects or achievements. Its chairman Graham Hart is also a former ‘career banker.’ Mr Lynch queries why his company was excluded from the funding. ‘Mr Stoner was noticeably embarrassed about this grant funding when I met with him in Dorrigo last year. ‘Prior to Mr Stoner’s election to government, he was literally punching the air in Dorrigo on one electorate visitation stating “Dorrigo – micro-hydro capital of Australia!” The enthusiasm for supporting an innovative company in his electorate has significantly, and demonstrably, waned.’

MP Hartsuyker: no political weight As for federal Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker, who represents the Division of Cowper, his spokesperson told The Echo there is ‘no recent record of contact’ from Pelena Energy or Peter Lynch. ‘We made representations around four or five or years ago,’ he said. Mr Hartsuyker was unavailable for further comment as he was travelling by plane. In return, Mr Lynch says Mr Hartsuyker has ‘made the statement a number of times that he has “made representation” in Canberra on our behalf.’ ‘This has, without exception,

resulted in no support or positive outcome. Our experience with Mr Hartsuyker has been one of the most disappointing aspects of relocating to rural NSW as he demonstrably has no political weight with either the Nationals or in Canberra.’ Meanwhile energy market advocate Mark Byrne from the Total Environment Centre told The Echo that state and local environment planning instruments are prohibiting projects such as these from succeeding. ‘Specifically the Environmental Planning And Assessment Act 1979 needs to be amended to reflect hydro technology.’

Glazed Abbott Perhaps the most illuminating aspect of the disconnect with how hydro – a technology that has been around at least a century – has been marginalised. ‘Last year Tony Abbott came to Dorrigo,’ says Mr Lynch. ‘I was with the chamber of commerce so I got to introduce myself and my invention. ‘When I told him of the issues I was facing getting it off the ground, a glaze came over his eyes. It was a significant point where I realised that the people talking to people like him are not showing them what is possible. The solutions are here and now.’ When asked by The Echo why he doesn’t sell his units on eBay for example, he said, ‘Each attempt has been thwarted by successive barriers in legislation to get them installed on a large scale in NSW, or thwarted by an apparent government incentive program only to have micro-hydro “specifically excluded” at the last minute in favour of PV solar technologies and, to a lesser extent, wind.’ Mr Lynch made the point that after media coverage on his technologies, he inevitably gets a barrage of calls for orders. Due to planning legislation and CEC guidelines however, he is unable to sell the units in Australia. For more visit www. pelena.com.au while the website is still online. Q Editorial page 12

Bangalow’s weekend was starlit Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Against a background of continual tones emanating from the chant-a-thon, the sixteenth annual Starlight Wellbeing Expo was another successful festival held in the Byron Shire over the Easter break. The chant was a first for the festival: a ‘no experience required’ opportunity to sing until your heart was content. Chanting wasn’t the only ‘a-thon’, with a free healathon event held by local therapists. Other activities included crystal singing bowl music, and workshops on the joy of ‘truly living to your highest potential’ and the power of play. With a huge range of stalls, visitors had the opportunity to be ‘read’, massaged, healed, hit with healing lights and even have their aura lights photographed. Tarot card reader Chicchan was kept very busy over the The Wild Fox organic wine weekend looking into the future at the Starlight Festival in stall also proved to be popular. Bangalow.

Billycart Derby May 19: get crackin’ Competitors of all ages will race down the main street of Bangalow on Sunday May 19 for the annual Billycart Derby. Event organiser Tony Heeson has been involved for several years and believes that the popularity of the Derby can be attributed to its inclusive nature. ‘The Billycart Derby is a wonderful example of a community event because there are no barriers to entry,’ he said. ‘It showcases good old fashioned fun regardless of age or social status. Everyone can take part whether as individuals, families, workplaces or schools. This year we expect many entries, showing the strength of the Derby as it embraces an even wider reach in our thriving community.’ There are races for everyone – boys and girls from five years of age, through to ‘opens’ and celebrities. Don Page MP is a regular participant in the celebrity race and the oldest participant is claimed to be ‘Bangalow Bill’ at 85 years of age. Mr Heeson says, ‘Cart categories range from traditional, home-grown, professional and novelty which once featured

street for safety reasons. ‘The main focus of the day is not the speed of the entries, but family fun for participants and spectators. The grand parade is a highlight, taking place at 12.30pm featuring local bands, vintage cars, schools, local clubs, scouts and celebrities.’ Racing will start at 9am, so get your cart ready, with all participants marshalled from 7am.

A BIG THANK YOU!

Getup gathering in Mullum Leaking gas at Byron High A recent Getup meeting in Mullumbimby has identified three issues of most importance to its members: climate change, small business support, resource protection issues. The gathering was organised by Carole Gamble and Chris Abraham, and they said in a statement, ‘Obviously, most of us are very concerned as we teeter towards the next federal

election with issues of importance being submerged beneath a rotten circus in Canberra.’ ‘Everyone brought to the meeting carefully thought out issues for discussion and these included population control, education, public transport, globalisation, asylum seekers and detention, gainful employment opportunities and health.’ Visit getup.org.au for more.

An overfilled gas cylinder leaked at Byron High School last Wednesday, causing emergency procedures to be activated, including the evacuation of the campus for more than an hour. Acting principal Donna Pearson told The Echo the school’s main gas tank was refilled yesterday morning but in the heat of the day the gas expanded beyond the cylinder’s

capacity to cope. A pressure relief valve was activated, causing gas to start wafting into the classrooms. ‘We evacuated the school and called 000. The Fire Brigade arrived promptly and quickly dealt with the problem,’ she said. ‘I would like to thank them for their swift response and everyone at the school for co-operating with the evacuation so well.

AMA: cannabis may be of medical benefit The NSW Australian Medical Association (AMA) vice president has told an inquiry into medical cannabis that the organisation ‘considers in certain circumstances cannabis may be of medical benefit.’ While not condoning its use for non-medical purposes, Dr

Saxon Smith said it could assist with ‘HIV related wasting and cancer related wasting, as well as nausea and vomiting in people undergoing cancer chemotherapy who do not respond to conventional therapies.’ He also added further research should be carried out.

The comments were made at the ongoing inquiry at the NSW parliament on March 18, which is available at www.parliament. nsw.gov.au. Currently medicinal cannabis is illegal in Australia. Despite cannabis being illegal in many states in the US, its government owns the pat-

always maintained that he was trying to unite the populace, not divide it – that he was governing for all Australians. ‘The things that unite us are greater than the things that divide us,’ he proclaimed constantly.

In trying to implement Andrew Wilkie’s demands for

But he maintained the façade: his announcements were always couched in terms of the public good. For instance, the massive redirection of funds from public health and education to the private sector was always portrayed as reforms in the best interests of patients and pupils. But when the government changed, so did the story. As the Global Financial Crisis took hold, Kevin Rudd penned an essay denouncing the failure of the advocates of free market capitalism, which of course included the business establishment of Australia. And in 2010 his longawaited response to Ken Henry’s tax review was not to take a broad approach to reform, but to attack the mining industry for not paying its fair share. He may have been factually correct, but it was a political blunder which Gillard was to magnify and repeat. She mended fences with the miners, but only by capitulating to their demands; immediately after-

there was. And even if Gillard lacks the vision and resources available to those two grandmasters of politics, she could always emulate Howard and finesse things through using cunning and trickery. But it appears that she has decided to go further back in history for her inspiration: to Gough Whitlam and his all or nothing maxim, crash through or crash. But even here she has missed the point: before Whitlam reached the point of no return, he spent months, even years, in careful preparation; the cultivation of allies, the discussion of tactics, painstaking surveys of the battleground. And even then it was a weapon of last resort, only to be used after all other strategies had failed. With Gillard, it appears to be her first and only choice. It must be some small comfort to know that her enemies frequently adopt exactly the same approach. Is there anything sillier than to read in ]\ constant exhortations to Gillard to be more consultative, more ready to listen to abroad range of opinion, more – yes – tolerant of dissent? This, while every other page of the paper is devoted to Rupert Murdoch’s Generalissimo Chris Mitchell’s crusades against union bosses, the Greens, the ABC, the Fairfax press, public school teachers, intellectuals, chardonnay quaffers, latte sippers, political correctness, Julian Assange, Tim Flannery… But of course, that’s all right. That’s a free press just doing its job. Julia Gillard’s in a quite different position. I mean, it’s not as if Rupert Murdoch and Chris Mitchell are trying to run the country. Well, is it?

measures to protect gambling addicts, Gillard took the same approach to the clubs industry, with the same result: a politically costly back down. It was not all defeat: Nicola Roxon’s head-on clash with the tobacco industry over plain packaging ended with a spectacular victory. But the atmosphere was always one of crisis, of confrontation, of resorting to battle without having tried negotiation first. Gillard spelled out her approach in her speeches to the AWU and ACTU conferences this year: she was with the workers and the unions, no ifs and no buts, one side right and one side wrong, and she would not be taking a backward step. And she didn’t: the next confrontation was Stephen Conroy’s ultimatum on media reform. It invited and received massive retaliation and ended in tears. And now Gillard and Swan are preparing for a showdown with the superannuation industry...

My thanks go out to Mayor Simon Richardson and all at Byron Council for their efforts to make same sex couples welcome in the Byron Shire. As a gay man in a relationship of ten years who hopes to one day legally say ‘I DO’, the local push for marriage equality throughout Australia is greatly appreciated. However, at this point in time, I’d much rather Council fixed the bloody potholed roads properly so ‘I DON’T’ damage my car driving home from work at night.

traffic and a dedicated bike lane. Imagine: we could have a bicycle friendly road, which encourages parents to send their kids to school on their bikes. A shared footpath does not stack up. Everyone who has used it knows what I mean. Many car movements could be saved twice each school day at almost peakhour time. Tradies and others who rely on cars for transport would benefit as does the whole community. Here is one solution for one of our main problems. If you like the idea, please contact me on jensk00@gmail.com.

A staggering 2,000 school students are enrolled in four schools in Byron Bay, which are within a distance of approximately 2,000m of each other. The schools are Byron High, St Finbarr’s, Byron Bay Public and Byron Community Primary school. Parents are dropping kids off around 9am, picking them up around 3.30pm in large numbers, getting in and out of town and thus creating part of our traffic chaos, unintentionally, without much choice. It must be asked, why are we not seeing more students using pushbikes to and from school? The Bangalow Road between the high school and the Browning Street roundabout could be redesigned with slowed-down

Use terraces

The Echo chose to omit a couple of sentences from my last letter on coastal erosion. In these sentences I suggested that the area in front of the current rock walls between Main Beach and The Wreck be terraced. Just steps of rock of ascending in height filled with rubble – as well as removing the spurs, of course. What I think would happen is that terraces like this would slow down the wave action and allow the waves to deposit their sand over the terraces. This could be tried at Belongil as well – there doesn’t seem to be much beach left to encroach on. But what’s happening at Belongil is just a symptom of the disease – the centre of the illness is the rock

works at Main Beach. It would be expensive, I acknowledge. I think to be effective the terraces would have to run at a slope of about 30°. So far our efforts have been directed at confronting nature in an area that often collectively says one should ‘go with the flow’. It’s about time this attitude was adopted in regards to beach erosion. Of course if we decide on the ‘do nothing’ option we will lose not only the beach but a lot of valuable real estate as well.

Affordable housing?

Given Cr Woods’s strong support for that proposed monstrosity opposite Woolies in Mullum and for KFC, is there any kind of development she actually opposes? Well yes. Looking back through my records I see that in 2009 she voted against my property becoming eligible for Community Title. Similarly looking back further I

see that in 1998 fellow rightwingers Ross Tucker and Bob Higgins were the only councillors who voted against the Rural Strategy, which set out parameters for Multiple Occupancy and Community Title. Further back still I see that in 1990 the only councillors who voted against my MO application were three farmer-type rednecks. It is important to remember here that both Multiple Occupancy and Community Title were explicitly invented to create affordable housing. Yet if you were able to click all references to ‘Affordable Housing’ by conservatives over the past twenty years you would see that they invariably refer only to friendly developers being permitted to cram as much development into a given space as possible. You will not find even a solitary instance of a conservative speaking in favour of Multiple Occupancy or Community Title; they simply don’t like this form of development. The Rural Strategy had an explicit target of creating 500 new dwellings in rural areas over ten years, ie by 2008. In 2010 I asked Council planning director Ray Darney how many had actually been built and he said ‘about 25’. On February 14 I asked him for an update. His commendably detailed reply unfortunately merely lists the number of ‘potential’ dwellings, not the actual number. I conclude from this that Ray

The Mandalay Express is scheduled to leave Yangon from Platform 1 at 3pm, so I arrive two hours early. Everything takes longer here. It is hot, and it will only get worse. You sweat just sitting still. In Myanmar, waiting is part of life. Waiting for the bus, waiting for the train, waiting for the rain to come. There is already talk about when the monsoon will break, and that isn’t for another two months. And of course, the biggest wait of all is that for the promised open election in 2015. I was catching the Mandalay Express because I wanted to write a piece on Paul Theroux, who had completed the same journey in 1971 and 2008. On the platform today, the old man siting opposite me is smoking a cheroot, his feet doubled up on a red plastic chair, his eyes looking off into a contemplative distance. Women, children and monks fill the other seats. Across the rest of the platform, small islands of families sprawl out on the cool terrazzo floors, reading comics and newspapers, eating out of stainless-steel tiffin boxes, cooling themselves with cheap pink paper fans. The Burmese are voracious readers. Most of the people on the platform appear silent and lethargic, relaxed and thoughtful. The piercing sound of a long whining horn belches from the departing 1pm train to Pyay. It sounds like a prehistoric animal in pain.

Dangerous pride Myanmar people are proud and patient. Patient with an army regime that is mocked as being less educated than the people it rules, and fiercely proud, of their ethnicity and religion, a pride that has the potential to rip Myanmar apart at the seams. Presently, the country is held together by the authoritarian rule of a military-controlled regime. One of Myanmar’s greatest challenges, if true democracy arrives, will be to overcome the sectarian and ethnic hatred that exists just below the surface in this land of smiles. Aung San Suu Kyi, the ‘Mother’ of modern Myanmar, has been presented to the world as the saviour of modern Myanmar. Even this construct is starting to unravel into a new tangle of rumour and accusations. I am waiting for the train. A young man comes up and sits next to me. He is chewing betel nut, and has a wide about-tospit-red smile. He takes the pen from my hand and sprawls his flourishing signature across the page of my book with pride. He gives me another betel nut smile, red and salivating; then 14 April 2, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

spends the next half-hour trying to teach me a small part of the Burmese alphabet. With a new belching of a horn, the Mandalay Express finally arrives. There is a gentle and quiet rush of passengers to the gates. On board, the sleeping compartment is clean and bright, with crisp white sheets and pillowcases. I am sharing the cabin with an American man, and a Burmese grandmother and her three-year-old granddaughter. The grandmother calls for the guard to change compartments, not feeling comfortable to be alone with two foreign men. She is told she has to stay put. With a few nervous smiles we all become friends. The grandmother and child are quiet. The American is loud. He starts to tell me what a great photographer he is. I decide it’s safer just to stare out the window.

Plastic motif As the train pulls away I see a junkyard of plastic bags littering the tracks, a continuing motif throughout the trip. In the near distance the spires of St Mary’s church rise above the grime and smog of the city; the shanty houses, built of scrap iron and timber, pass by. A nearby concrete apartmentblock appears to tilt earthwards, an anarchic growth of wooden verandahs sprouting from its side. Young girls walk beside the train with crimson umbrellas. The grandmother throws a plastic bag out the window, as though throwing a flower to the gods. The train rides the rail with a gentle up and down movement, like that of a cantering horse, then breaks into a galloping stride. The carriages of the train buck and sway, rearing up from the buckled rails beneath. This wild rampage will not let up for the next 16 hours; it’s like a large fat man jumping on the end of your bed, hour after hour. What initially is an interesting travel experience becomes a nightmare of sleep-

<echowebsection=Letters>

lessness; a long slow torture, punctuated by brief moments of respite when the train pulls into a stop. The grandmother and her granddaughter have no trouble sleeping, curled up against each other.

Passing cinema Looking out the window of the Mandalay Express is like looking at Indian cinema. The images flash past, one continuous long camera shot: three young women dressed in exquisitely coloured longyi walking across a dusty hot field, adorned with thakata, red lipstick, and hair-ties… a wild bison runs through the dry paddy field, its dust trail picking up the colours of a crumbling sunset… two women standing at the edge of a track, hands on hips, looking… two men walking along the banked ridges of the paddy fields, talking and smoking cheroots… a sheet of electric blue sky intersects with an expanse of spring green land… green paddy fields lay soft against broken wooden fences… pink lilies float in green ponds… the dusk air holds the smell sweating vegetation… a golden pagoda catches the last light of day. Theroux would have seen similar images. He chose not to write about them. We pull into Mandalay station early the next morning. I am shattered, as is the American. The grandmother is combing her luxuriant hair, twisting it into a tight bun. The child looks at me and smiles

for the first time. In Mandalay, later that evening, I check for news at a rundown net bar crowded with monks from the nearby monastery. I find reports that at the Letpadaung copper mine angry protesters have mobbed Aung San Suu Kyi. Last year, two thousand acres of farmers’ land was illegally confiscated for the mine, and in recent demonstrations, dozens of monks were severely burned by phosphorus smoke grenades used by riot police. At this latest protest, the farmers stared in disbelief as their ‘Mother’ told them that they must stop protesting, that they must respect Chinese foreign investment, that this was the new Burma, that they must understand this. This new style of diplomacy by Aung San Suu Kyi marks the end of an era, and the beginning of another wait to see what will happen. The monk who has been looking over my shoulder politely says, ‘One thing doesn’t change. The poor stay poor.’ The coming of the monsoon will be a relief. I wish Theroux could be here, waiting with me. We could sit in the teahouse, or the bar, being cynical and misanthropic, and then we could talk about all the beautiful things in life.

Finding the balance at the dawn of Aquarius Pat Walsh was one of the original ‘New Settlers’, later labelled as hippies. In 1971 she pioneered a community in Burringbar, a couple of valleys north of Main Arm. This is her story of the Aquarius Festival, told to Graham Askey. ne day in 1972 two men appeared in Burringbar looking for a site to hold a festival. It was to be a large, live-in, lifestyle celebration where people could also buy land and stay on after it had ended. They thought that ‘The Avenell’, a property near the village of Burringbar, might be just the very spot. We greeted the idea with horror. We were country bumpkins by then, initiated into the existing Burringbar tribe by Jack Shackell, a born and bred local, who seemed as if he’d been waiting his whole life for us to appear. One thing that made us wary of the whole idea was that we’d already witnessed carloads of city visitors, on the hunt for magic mushrooms, trespassing over our neighbour’s paddocks. We were just as appalled as the farmers were. These invaders had no respect. Months later we heard that the organisers had decided to ‘recycle’ the town of Nimbin. They put the idea to the old settlers at a town meeting. For sure a hippy invasion would boost the town’s finances but it would also introduce a more complex values clash, and the quiet, peaceful old town would never be the same. The townspeople thought, fought, talked and finally voted ‘yes’. A friend, after checking out the festival preparations, came back and urged us to overcome our initial prejudices. So we ventured over to explore the scene. The preparations were fascinating to watch because they showed so well the way that people can divide into two groups – the ‘doers’ and the ‘cosmics’. The ‘doers’, full of self-importance and urgency, rushed about with manic energy, calling meetings, making phone calls, exhausting themselves and losing their voices. ‘We’ve got to make it happen’ was their constant mantra. The ‘cosmics’ lounged naked by the creeks all day, swimming and plaiting willow baskets and then played music at night around the camp fires. They were sensitive and slow, with no thought of organis-

ing anything. ‘It’ll just happen, man’ was their mantra, as a joint was passed along. We ‘old’ new settlers finally decided that the best way for us to join in the festival was to be a little bit apart from it. Nicky Shand, from Coopers Lane, and I found a secluded spot, enclosed by the creek, just over the road from the site, and arranged to rent it from the owner during the festival. his place and our tribe became known as ‘The Magic Circle’. My ridgepole tent was built from upholsterer’s plastic and bamboo. Old carpet was the floor and sarongs were the walls. With cushions, dolls and candleholders installed my family soon had a cosy new abode. With pens for the chooks and Matilda our goat, a cubby house for the children and with friends all around, it was a home that, at the time, I liked better than my rented Upper Burringbar farmhouse. When the festival started I rushed to learn how to use one of the cameras that Bush Video was handing out on loan. Looking for something

to focus on, I found a French high-wire walker and juggler called Phillipe Petit. His festival house was in a tree, accessed only by rope. He got around on a unicycle and juggled flaming clubs while walking a wire stretched between the pub and the Tomato Sauce building. The audience would gasp when he pretended to slip and then sigh with relief when he was balanced again. ‘Why do you do it?’ I asked. ‘Because when I am up there I am totally alive,’ he answered. ‘If someone can balance on two legs of a chair, then I want to balance on one.’ didn’t know it then but he was planning a high-wire walk between the northern pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. At the end of the festival, and in on the plan, I packed the kids in the car and followed Phillipe to Sydney to watch the pylon crossing. Erected with extreme secrecy in the dead of night he set off across the wire in the morning. He was still on the wire when the cops arrived and, unbelievably, they thought shaking his stay ropes would get him to come in. Lucky to make it back alive, he was arrested and fined, but headed all of the news bulletins. Ashton’s Circus happened to be in town and straightaway they paid his fine. In return Phillipe offered them a performance. Watching a blindfolded Phillipe, juggling firesticks while perched on an impossibly balanced chair on a high-wire above a hungry pack of lions, Doug Ashton wept with admiration.

Apart from Phillipe’s amazing performances I have two other enduring memories from that time at the festival. The first was of lying in bed one night, listening to the vivid music of funky African jazz pianist Dollar Brand, which carried all the way from the open air stage, and thinking ‘I could wish for no more than this, ever again.’ The other was of holding hands as part of a group of hundreds of people, winding our way through the festival fields like a rainbow serpent, and singing: ‘May the long-time sun Shine upon you, All love, surround you, And the pure light, within you Guide your way home.’

It was more than a celebration of a lifestyle. It was a statement of hope that this spiritual energy would find its way home. It was a wish from many hearts and a song taken up by many voices. The Nimbin Aquarius Festival had been an extraordinary event. ‘It was the vision, the organisation, and hard work that made it happen,’ boasted the doers. ‘It happened, man, just like we said it would,’ agreed the cosmics. Pat (now Anjali) Walsh still lives happily in the north coast with her children and grandchildren close by. Unfortunately her videos of the festival have not survived.

Good posture is a natural aspect of our being that is obvious to anyone with the eyes to see. We assess each other by beauty and posture without the need to be taught. This knowledge seems to be innate and we do this often, without being conscious of it, yet it helps us form an impression of whomever we meet. Chiropractors are trained to do â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;postural assessmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as a ďŹ rst step in understanding and predicting where problems arise in the body. We look at how you stand and how you move. X-ray analysis indicates where you are wearing out and we can predict, from the shape of your spine, where your structure will fail. If you are experiencing pain then something has failed. The practitioners from Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre can assist your body to recover by doing an adjustment and correcting the alignment. If you want your body to perform well, spreading the load evenly throughout your structure, gaining relief from those chronic problems and optimising your health, then they can help by restoring your natural upright posture. For re-alignment, postural restoration, health optimisation in yourself, your family members and staff join them in their mission of life enhancement at Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre. 1/12 Tasman Way, Byron Arts & Industry Estate.

is too shy to admit that in practice the Rural Strategy has turned out, for some reason, to be a total dud, delivering less than ten per cent of its target. I said ‘for some reason’. It could be because of the way the staff have sought to apply it, making the process onerous and expensive, or it could be because of inherent defects in the strategy itself. Why don’t we know? Because the intended five-year review of the strategy, due in 2003, never took place; there is no public feedback on the record. I discovered to my horror just last week that Ray Darney currently intends to incorporate aspects of the strategy, unexamined defects and all, into the new LEP. Imagine my anger at discovering last week that my property is not listed as eligible for CT. Imagine my humiliation at discovering that Ray Darney had had me in his office to discuss my property but didn’t tell me. Urgent legal action is inevitable. Fast Buck$

Global warnings

Re letters from Sapoty Brook and Nina Bishop (Echo, March 26). Don’t assume that global warming ‘sceptics’ are not environmentalists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sceptics are not about to follow a dangled carrot or

be whipped by the stick of climate change fear by a bunch of bankers and industrialists all wearing green masks. By all means we must care for clean air, water and soil for ourselves and future generations. But altruistic, well intentioned environmentalists are being used as sockpuppets for the hidden agenda of control freaks in the United Nations. There has been no global warming for the past 17 years, and that’s official. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant. It is a naturally occurring trace gas in our atmosphere. It is often confused with carbon monoxide which definitely is a pollutant (a product of internal combustion engines in the main), which has been regulated under the clean air act for some decades. CO2 is as essential for plant life as oxygen is for animal life on our planet. Every animal exhales CO2. Without CO2 there would be no life on earth. Humans exhale CO2 at a rate of 40,000 ppm. The average person exhales 2.5 pounds of CO2 a day, or about 2,000 litres of pure CO2 at normal atmospheric pressure, enough to sustain 15 square metres of garden plants. (If you can’t hang around exhaling over your garden all day a small cow or a goat would do.) All plants emit oxygen in ex-

change for CO2. Climate change alarmists need to apprise themselves of how they are being used, the ultimate goal being to take away the sovereignty of local governments, take away property rights of average citizens via redevelopment and rezoning, and to increase government control over our lives. The ultimate plan is for all communities to live in highdensity, high-rise buildings and the surrounding countryside returned to nature, offlimits to all humans. Private property ownership is classified ‘unsustainable’ under Agenda 21. Your children and grandchildren will be able to view surrounding nature areas from the top storey of a building but that is as far as they will ever be able to get to communing with nature. The opposite of ‘ sceptical’ is ‘gullible’. Peggy Balfour

Mullumbimby Thanks to Sapoty Brook for reminding us of the official narrative of global warming with its impending global catastrophe based as it is on observed facts. One observed fact notably absent from this narrative is the sun’s contribution. As the CSIRO points out on its website around the year 1500 there occurred what is referred to as the Little Ice Age, a time when there was a low intensity of sun

spot activity and rivers like the Thames froze over. We are now in a period of high sunspot activity; however, in support of the official narrative, they say this could not possibly explain the current warming and use carbon as the culprit. Around the year AD1000 research shows there occurred what is referred to as the Medieval Warm Period, which also coincided with a period of high sunspot activity. The ensuing high temperatures were no doubt caused by turbocharged chariots pulled by flatulent horses. Anton Vanderbyl

The taxi rank

The taxi rank in Byron Bay is, I hazard to say, substandard. However, please do not move it; just make it presentable. Make it all six spots of the rank 24/7, change signs above it, partly fence it off, paint the ground in a different colour and have a ranger occasionally patrolling for the biggest issue we all try to resolve – private cars parked on the rank. A bit of discipline would be welcomed in this 21st century paradise, yet it is pretty chaotic at times. On my and on behalf of frustrated night drivers, happy motoring and be safe! Rudolf Surina

ercise in mass mind control of truly Orwellian proportions. The media moguls, their hacks, and their accomplices – the opinion pollsters – have together done an amazing hatchet job on the Gillard government, virtually destroying its election chances, and have made it seem to be all Labor’s own doing! The slavering journalists and the pollsters, aided and abetted by the federal coalition, ensured the Rudd Revival Campaign stayed alive and distracting throughout all of Julia Gillard’s term. They gave limitless oxygen to Rudd’s ‘camp’, encouraging its existence, ensuring it grew in number, and endlessly speculating and polling about the timing, possibility, and desirability of a Rudd takeover. They assiduously fanned the flames to exploit the possibility of a challenge, thus making it more likely as more and more Labor backbenchers got spooked. Self-fulfilling prophecy. So isn’t the shock, amazement and ridicule expressed by these media commentators and politicians over the leadership spill just a tad disingenuous? How else could this festering issue, that they’d helped create and feed, be made to finally go away? The leadership spill was the only way, and the prime minister should have been congratulated, not condemned, for putting it to rest, finally. If indeed it is ‘finally’. Rudd is now probably si-

lenced, but the jackals of the media, having smelled blood, will probably keep scrutinising every move Julia makes, cut her no slack, give no credit for her government’s very significant achievements, and keep portraying Labor in a negative light – driving voters relentlessly into the arms of an Abbott-led motley crew. If you needed any further evidß∑ence of the rampant media bias in Australia, the demise of Ted Baillieu and Terry Mills, two conservative leaders who were knifed within one week, barely raised an eyebrow in the media. Hardly a word written or spoken about ‘faceless men’. Contrast it to the way Gillard and the ALP and its ‘faceless men’ are still being mercilessly caned in the media three years after she politely asked K Rudd for his job. Her legitimacy is still being questioned today! As a rusted-on Labor supporter, I’ll probably be emigrating in disgust after September 14. My only advice to my beloved country and to the sheep who vote is not to follow the herd instinct and don’t all vote together to get rid of federal Labor. The people of Queensland are stuck with Campbell Newman for at least two or three terms because Queenslanders rushed like lemmings over a cliff, giving him a thumping majority. A lean government is generally a good government.

HIS FORTHCOMING RELEASE AYAHUASCA: WELCOME TO THE WORK MAY BE LEE’S MOST WILFUL, CREATIVE AND HONEST WORK YET.

Lee has long been attracted to esoteric circles; he’s one pop culture prince with a difference. Lee seeks meaning, in all its Technicolor complexity. His most recent adventure involved travelling to South America, where he participated in the Ayahuasca ceremony, the experience spurring his latest release. ‘I have always had a very spiritually uncompromising attitude in terms of my approach,’ says Lee ‘I had a teacher who said the spiritual path is better suited to the thief because the thief has the hunger to do the crime. I have always had the hunger for it, whether it’s creatively jumping into a career at 14 or going to India. When I heard people’s testimonies about the ayahuasca experience I became curious.’ ALBARE YOUR SOUL So how did Lee go about procuring such an experience? Vince Jones may be in town this week but we also have ‘I think it’s usually a case that when the student is ready the teacher appears – a double pass to see another you first put the intention out there with seriousness, whether conversations with Australian jazz legend: Albare friends, or goolgling, you open yourself to information that opens yourself to the at the Byron Community Centre experience in your life.’ on Sun 21 April.

There is no time for lolly gagging. We need to go into the deep causes of our problem – we have to reflect on our inner nature, and we have to deal

with nature as a whole and our place in it. ‘It’s funny there is a truth in our powerlessness. It’s not honest to see as anything other than that. Nature is full of beauty. We need to start seeing that with being part of nature comes duty, we are reluctant – we are definitely a species with an ego capable of being outwardly expressed to the detriment of the planet. But we can also fix the problem. We need to learn to live in alignment with nature and stop pillaging and plundering it.’ In keeping with the philosophy of his work, Ben will be donating 100 per cent of the album’s artist royalties to charity as a way of keeping the album’s release in alignment with the healing nature of the medicine itself. An organisation that Ben feels a deep affinity with around the issue of consciousness based research is the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit research and educational organisation where Lee is donating half of his royalty income from Ayahuasca.

THE JONES FACTOR

I have always been in awe of the music of Vince Jones. I remember the first time I heard his trademark voice and I argued for hours over whether it was a man or a woman.

Over the years the infamous gigantic furry Technotubbies have graced the stages at Big Day Out and appeared alongside the likes of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy Slim and Basement Jaxx. Having just performed at 2012’s Homebake, pioneers of Australian electronica, Sonicanimation are heading out on tour.

The album was recorded at Reiji Studios, Rossland, Canada and features the first single I Will Be Twisted.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T shoes. Great. I was the only kid in my street with lesbian Barbie. Why couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I have a big boobed Barbie? See Mandy live at I was obsessed with missing out. I never wanted to go to bed. www.echonetdaily.net.au I knew that if I went to bed that I would miss out on all the stuff that was happening in the adult world. Adults want you DON'T MISS THIS SPECIAL OFFER to go to bed so they can do the interesting stuff. Like smoke Have you ever felt that you were missing out? That just around cigarettes and get drunk. And watch The Box. All I wanted to the corner other people are doing more exciting things, do when I was six years old was sit up with Mum and watch making more money, hanging out with better friends? Well, The Box â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 1970s Aussie sex romp. There was even nudity and they are, and somehow you have to find a way to make peace swearing. Mum thought it was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inappropriateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which was ironic with yourself. because as it turns out coarse language and sexual innuendo is what I do for a living. But, like Barbie, I missed out on that Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strange feeling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had it since I was a kid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called too. FOMO. Fear of missing out. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was just a fear for me. It was a reality. I was born missing out. I grew up in a I have FOMO bad. I spend far too much time worrying about housing commission house with a violent alcoholic father who what other people are doing. And why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing it too. eventually died and left us broke and me fatherless. Or why they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask me. Even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know me I take it personally. Facebook is torture. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rolling reminder that Everything would have been okay if I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone to Karen everyone else is having a lot more fun than I am. Which is silly, Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and discovered that not all families were like because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re clearly all at home sitting in their underpants mine. Her parents were bookish intellectuals who played in front of the computer too. Scrabble and Mahjong and Karen had a Barbie house and Barbie car and the Barbie camper van. Her room was pink. And I find that FOMO really wrecks my ability to enjoy things. she had 10 Barbies. And she had all the barbie clothes. And Especially festivals. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been to a festival two Kens. without being plagued by this anxiety that the show Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have one Barbie doll. Mum felt guilty and bought standing in isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as good as the one in the next tent. So I give me a cheaper feminist copy called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She was supposed it five minutes. Maybe ten. Then I start panicking. What am to be some sort of Nordic Air Hostess. She had long thick I missing? Why do people keep leaving? Is there something tanned legs, a thick waist, small tits, short hair and wore flat better on somewhere else?

I once surreptitiously followed this very groovy young couple because they looked so cool like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never missed out on a thing except a good kick up the arse for being such pretentious wankers. Anyway I ended up at the port-a-loo. So I spend most of my time at festivals on the outside of the tent listening to a few songs and then bolting across the field to catch the end of something else. Then someone will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh did you see Santana? He was brilliant.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I did see him. But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay for the encore because I was worried it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best. Which is stupid because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santana and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably never get a chance to see Santana again. I have done this at every festival Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been at. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve virtually missed every amazing moment because I was in transit trying to find a better moment. So this year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to commit. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to pick an act and stick it out, even in the bits when you think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that song, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit shit,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because the next song could be great. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to miss out on something else so I can enjoy the thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also decided to use that same philosophy when it comes to men.

WITH LILITH The planetary quadrella of Sun, Mars, Venus and Uranus in Aries lights this week with divine ﬁre – plus a plethora of confrontational, competitive, strong willed, hot headed citizens…

E ARIES: As April’s Festival of Aries kick starts the premier love month of your year, Mars and Venus cozying up in Aries proffer a cornucopia of opportunities for all kinds of the L word. So turn up your thermostat and start behaving like this week’s love machines… F TAURUS: Once the Tauran mind’s made up, that’s usually it for all time. But be prepared to change your mind – and keep doing it – as this week’s tunnel vision morphs into broader, more panoramic perspectives to encompass the quantum growth spurt already percolating away, calling you to get on board. G GEMINI: This week offers the possibility of a Giant Leap Forward, so long as you don’t get distracted by (Ooh look!) yet another ingenious idea or (Oh wow!) delicious mischief. If you’re able to stay focussed on one primary goal for the next three weeks, you’ll achieve wonders. H CANCER: While March seemed like Ground Hog Day, with reps of recurring behaviour, replays of familiar scenarios, déjà vu communications and blasts from the past, it gave you the opportunity to review unfinished business. Now this week connects you with people in synch with your new, improved trajectory.

Last week’s solution

I LEO: This week’s zesty celestial cocktail offers a juicy boost of exuberant entertainment, exploration or education, though others could disappoint if you expect too much of them. Definitely avoid people, substances or situations that make you irritable and cranky - instead think massages, comfort food, entertaining friends, retail treats. J VIRGO: After the widespread tiredness from recent collective emotional overwhelm, this week’s welcome surge of planetary chi revitalizes brains, adrenals and muscular systems to physically fortify your core strength and resolve… and suddenly look who’s the Energizer Bunny! Welcome back to planet Earth and the human family, Virgos. K LIBRA: April’s emphasis in your house of dealing with the public and improving understanding with others offers plenty of scope for putting into action whatever you’ve been mulling over in recent reflective weeks. And if your love life’s been a tad jaded, this week could reignite the flame. L SCORPIO: Your lessons on the growth road presently involve working with others, not easy with volatile Mars and Uranus creating workplace turbulence. A combination of art, craft, strategy, timing, negotiation and compromise may achieve what you want, but if they don’t there’s always another day to get your way…

SHE COMES TO MULLUMBIMBY THIS WEEKEND TO PUT THE BOOGIE BACK INTO YOUR BOOGIE. Jan, how would you describe your relationship with music? I’ve had a lifelong obsession with pianos and piano music.

M SAGITTARIUS: This enterprising week of passionate dissatisfaction with what’s not working activates huge enthusiasm to find what will.Pushiness will evoke opposition, asking for help may be more successful. And as philosopher Henry David Thoreau noted, it’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see… N CAPRICORN: While April’s unruly citizens may throw wobblies and spin out, affection will still move things along more smoothly this week than an unrelenting attitude. It’s okay to show your soft side. Really others love it. Since people appreciate hearing that you care, why be shy? O AQUARIUS: April’s the zodiac month of relationship reassessment, when old ways of functioning no longer satisfy and new beginnings appeal. If this week rewrites the personal terms and economic conditions of a partnership what to do? Talk it through, because the likelihood of an exciting turnaround is strong. P P ISCES: According to care giver Joy Golliver the meaning of life is to find your gift, after which the purpose of life is to give it away. March refined the search engines, now April announces that whatever you thought you couldn’t do, this week you’ll find you can.

What is it about boogie and ragtime that entices you? I am transformed by the physically hypnotic groove I can create playing boogie piano and singing. How do you shake that much sound out of one humble piano? I hit the keys hard, and my left hand rhythm drives everything. I give the piano a workout. Do piano’s always submit to you? What’s your favourite? Are you a baby grand girl? Some people pick up stray cats, I pick up pianos. I just find them, or maybe they find me. They’re people to me; each one has its own personality. I’m hopeless with names, but show me a piano I’ve met and I’ll know when and where we were introduced. At one time I had seven pianos in my house. I dream of opening Preston’s Retirement Home for Old Pianos. How do you go about writing songs? Sometimes I start with words, sometimes with a groove. It can come quickly and other times it’s laborious. I listen to the greatest boogie piano players and singers every day. What do you aim to give in your live performances? I aim to involve, entertain and uplift both my own spirit and that of the crowd. I am constantly humbled by my audiences’ feedback. People are often enduring difficult situations in their lives, and my music lightens the load for them. Tell me a little about composing for film/TV – do they send you the briefs? I don’t compose for films much anymore; too busy touring and performing live which I prefer, although hearing my Theme to Australian Story on ABC TV every Monday night was a blast. What should we expect for your local show? People should expect to be entertained and enlivened by my piano playing, singing and humorous anecdotes. My show presents a contemporary original bent on the longstanding boogie woogie piano tradition, poignant at times, but mostly action packed and energetic.

SWINGING AT BANGA BOWLO

MANDY NOLAN MCS AT THE OPEN MIC COMEDY NIGHT AT THE MULLUMBIMBY COURTHOUSE ON THURSDAY. CHICKEN WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE, INSTEAD PREFERRING TO FOCUS ON SERIOUS ROLES IN PERIOD DRAMAS

As part of The Bowlo’s ongoing commitment to providing quality entertainment on a regular basis, The Jive Lounge have teamed up with The Bowlo. The proud owner of The Jive Lounge, Reilly Scholtens, is urging under-25s to come along and see what swing dancing is all about. ‘This year we are really focusing on showing under-25s in the shire what they’ve been missing out on in the dancing and music scene. Swing dancing is perfect for this age group as

it’s a chance to learn some cool dance moves to get you fit, active and laughing. Of course, guys… there’s nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to dance!’ Swing style dancing and the culture surrounding it, has undergone a massive revival all around Australia and indeed the world. The Jive Lounge is ensuring the Byron shire doesn’t miss out! The Jive Lounge promises to transport its patrons back to another time and place with its music from the 40s, 50s and 60s all sung by The Jive Lounge Singers, Myles and Sebastiaan. Along with this The Jive Lounge has a dance lesson with the very experienced Mark O’Brien and Tara from Swing On In. Those with two left feet are also sure to have a great night lounging in the vintage couches with a drink from the bar. THE BANGALOW JIVE LOUNGE Come and support AT THE BANGALOW BOWLO ON the Bowlo and have FRIDAY a great night out at the same time. Tickets are just $20 pre-purchased either online or from The Bowlo. The Jive Lounge also donates part of their profits to the Bangalow Community Children’s Centre. Friday from 7pm.

Television Guide

1. Fantastic Mr Fox (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm) is a wonderful stop-frame animated fantasy based on the Roald Dahl childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novel of the same name. The morally ambiguous Mr Fox, exuberantly voiced by George Clooney, takes on the farmers who try to destroy his home. Plenty of joy and drama and mercifully free of preaching. 2. The French Kissers (SBS2, Sunday, 9pm) , originally Les beaux gosses, is a pleasant French teen comedy and the film debut for writer/director Riad Sattouf. The plot sounds familiar: teenage boy HervĂŠ canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a girl until the beautiful Aurore takes a liking to him. Unfortunately he spoils the bliss by bragging about Aurore to his friends, who try to grope her during a game of of Dungeons & Dragons. The skin crawls at the thought.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a word strongly disapproved of by the more serious restaurant reviewers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Crispyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, so they believe, should simply be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crispâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and yet â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crispyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a word on any menu which is guaranteed to grab my attention and generally become part of my order. Besides, I disagree with those reviewers: to my mind something crispy has undergone a process (mostly involving frying, I confess) to become so, whereas â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crispâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suggests a fixed state, like a stick of fresh celery. Crispy chicken, crispy duck, crispy-skinned fish all call out to me from menus, and now I have another dish to add to the list. It is crispy rice salad and I ate it at Byron Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orient Express, where red curtains float between tables to create intimate spaces, where indeed the lucky colour red is all around, enfolding you inside a snug Thai-style teahouse where the food is a felicitous blend of Laotian, Vietnamese and Thai.

Our table of four ordered the salad as part of a modest banquet. Although categorised as an entree, the serving was huge: a vibrant mound of fresh herbs and sprouts and shredded lettuce and carrots studded with chunks of chewy, nutty rice and all of it dressed with that glorious soursweet-salty blend of chillis and citrus and sugar and garlic and loads of finely chopped peanuts. Texturally it was a marvel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it was that crispy rice that stood out. According to its infinitely modest creator, chef/owner Tippy Heng, this is his interpretation of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the humble Lao-styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crispy rice salad. I am intrigued and investigate further: its correct title is Nam Khao and it is an exceedingly popular appetiser in Laos, becoming increasingly favoured in the West. It often includes fermented pork sausage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tippyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s did not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is traditionally eaten as a wrap by filling individual leaves such as lettuce with a spoonful of the tangy mixture, topping it all off with chilli and fresh herbs. The secret to the crispiness of the rice is egg added to cooked rice

... from page 33 ... together with fish sauce then deep-fried in a lot of oil until it becomes golden. Once drained and cooled down it is then tossed through mint and coriander and shallots and bean sprouts and iceberg lettuce and tomatoes, then submitted to the glorious peanutty dressing. So even though, yes, you are eating deep-fried rice cakes there is a strong sense that this is a hearty nourishing salad which is good for you! The rice actually reminded me of that layer of toasted rice you should find at the base of a properly-made paella. Considered a delicacy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;socarratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it is that crunchy crusty part where the rice becomes something else again. It turns out that the crust of rice left sticking to the pan in Thai and Chinese cuisines is as prized. Somehow Tippyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crispy rice salad left me with that same level of happiness.

Comment

More angry, more often: heatwave signals a new normal In The Conversation the conversation.edu.au Sophie Lewis and Sarah Perkins argue that more extreme summers are ahead. Daylight hours are dwindling and our first month of autumn is ending. But in many places, March felt a lot like summer. Get used to it: looking ahead, all indications are that future summers could be just like this one, or more extreme. Southeast Australia welcomed autumn with a persistent heat wave. For the first 12 days of autumn, temperatures were 6.9 degrees above normal across Tasmania and 6.8 degrees above normal in Victoria. Melbourne’s March recordbreaking weather included nine days of temperatures of 32 degrees or above and its highest overnight March temperature in 110 years of record keeping. Adelaide experienced ten such hot days. The unusually warm autumn weather was part of a much larger and much longer warm spell. The last six months have been characterised by sequences of heat waves and record temperatures across the entire Australian region. Summer was the hottest on record across all of Australia. In January, Australia had its hottest month on record. The hottest day ever recorded for the entire continent occurred on January 7. The surrounding oceans, from the Great Australian Bight through Bass Strait, also broke previous extreme temperature records. These waters exhibited the highest sea surface temperatures on record in February. Our exceptionally hot summer cannot be discussed simply as a catalogue of interesting

record-breaking events. This summer was not normal. And we can’t talk about the exceptionally hot summer and early autumn without talking about climate change. Australian average temperatures have increased faster than the global average increase (0.8°C) and are now 0.9 degrees higher than a century ago. It may not sound like much, but research shows that changes in average temperatures (even less than 1°C) can lead to huge changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events. This is exactly what Australia just experienced with this sequence of heat waves, extending from November 2012 to March 2013. Our recent research in the internationally peer-reviewed Journal of Climate shows that

there has been a significant increase in the number of heat wave days for most of the country from 1951 to 2008. The paper describes heat waves as a period of three or more days where temperatures are excessively high – in the top five to ten per cent of temperatures recorded. This trend is greatest in eastern Australia, where both the number of heat waves and their duration has increased. Recently, we extended the time period of the analyses to include the period from 1911 to 2011. Not surprisingly, our initial results suggest that heat waves are now occurring earlier than 100 years ago. In some places, the first heat wave of the season is occurring almost a month earlier. Recent studies from other parts of the world have shown that many, if not most, of the

recent record-breaking heat waves and extremely warm summers would have been unlikely to occur without human influence on climate change. Although we can never say categorically whether an individual climate event, such as a heat wave, would have occurred without human-related greenhouse gas emissions, it is possible to assess how global warming has changed the likelihood of extreme events occurring. Working with other climate scientists we investigated the probability of extreme summer heat occurring across Australia using a suite of climate model simulations representing current climate conditions. We then used a parallel suite of control experiments, in which greenhouse gases from human activities were entirely absent. Previous studies using simi-

Water scarcity is a looming threat, says institute Some 1.2 billion people – almost a fifth of the world – live in areas of physical water scarcity, while another 1.6 billion face what can be called economic water shortage. The situation is only expected to worsen as population growth, climate change, investment and management shortfalls, and inefficient use of existing resources restrict the amount of water available to people, according to Worldwatch Institute’s Vital Signs Online service (www.worldwatch.org). It is estimated that, by 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, with almost half of the world living in conditions of water stress. Water scarcity has several definitions. Physical scarcity occurs when there is not enough water to meet demand; its symptoms include severe environmental degradation, declining groundwater, and unequal water distribution. Economic water scarcity occurs when there is a lack of www.echo.net.au

investment and proper management to meet the demand of people who do not have the financial means to use existing water sources; the symptoms in this case normally include poor infrastructure. Large parts of Africa suffer from economic water scarcity.

for the agricultural sector, 11 per cent are to meet municipal demands, and 19 per cent are for industrial needs. These numbers, however, are distorted by the few countries that have very high water withdrawals, such as China, India, and the United States.

Resource strain

Heavy use

World population is predicted to grow from 7 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050, putting a strain on water resources to meet increased food, energy, and industrial demands. But there are many other pressures, including increased urbanisation and overconsumption, lack of proper management, and the looming threat of climate change. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and UN Water, global water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. At the global level, 70 per cent of water withdrawals are

Agricultural water withdrawal accounts for 44 per cent of total water withdrawal among members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but this rises to more than 60 per cent within the eight OECD countries that rely heavily on irrigated agriculture. In the four transitional economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, agriculture accounts for 74 per cent of water withdrawals, but this ranges from 20 per cent in Russia to 87 per cent in India. According to the institute, ‘Climate change will affect global water resources at varying levels. Reductions in river

runoff and aquifer recharge are expected in the Mediterranean basin and in the semiarid areas of the Americas, Australia, and southern Africa, affecting water availability in regions that are already water-stressed. In Asia, the large areas of irrigated land that rely on snowmelt and high mountain glaciers for water will be affected by changes in runoff patterns, while highly populated deltas are at risk from a combination of reduced inflows, increased salinity, and rising sea levels. And rising temperatures will translate into increased crop water demand everywhere. ‘To combat the effects of climate change, efforts must be made to follow an integrated water resource management approach on a global scale. This involves water management that recognises the holistic nature of the water cycle, and the importance of managing trade-offs within it, that emphasises the importance of effective institutions, and that is inherently adaptive.’

lar methods have found strong human contributions to the severity of extreme summer temperatures. James Hansen and other NASA scientists found a tenfold increase in areas experiencing extremely hot summers due to global warming. Similarly, climate scientist Gareth Jones and his colleagues at the UK Met Office Hadley Centre found a dominant human influence on rapidly increasing hot summers in the northern hemisphere. When we ran our hot, angry summer through a large group of the latest generation of climate models it became clear that there was likely to have been a substantial human influence on our recent extreme summer heat. Our early results indicate that anthropogenic climate change more than tripled the risk of Australia’s extremely hot summer occurring. As for the future, it is now virtually certain that the frequency and severity of hot days will increase. Extremely hot seasons will worsen, with the biggest impacts of climate change being felt by Australians in summer. Spring weather will come earlier, and autumn later. Additional global warming over the next 50 years, under a business-as-usual fossil fuel emissions scenario, is expected to see global average temperatures increase by at least 1°C. Such a change means that our recent summer on steroids will become the norm and far worse summers will occur with

greater frequency. We already know what is causing the changes we see now. Clearly, it is time to stop talking about record-breaking heat as isolated incidents and recognise it in the context of climate change. It’s time to start preparing for more angry summers, more frequently.

Suns reign over Saints’ parade

One lucky duck and two ducklings started the Easter weekend off with a treat. Ben Kirkwood, Harrison Kirkwood (who plays for thev BBJAFL U10s), and Charlie Kirkwood got to hang out with our favourite Sun Gary Ablett Jr at the Suns’ training on Good Friday before Ablett’s stellar performance against the Saints on Saturday night at Metricon. Matthew Lodge

In a round that could only be described as a tipster’s nightmare, only one other match had a closer score than that of Gold Coast’s 13 point win over St Kilda at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night. Without a host of big name players in the side, many earmarked this match as a danger game for the Saints against a Gold Coast side, not short on confidence when declaring they could win their maiden premiership in just three years. With just six wins in their two formative years in the AFL, many south of the border have ridiculed the Suns as unrealistic incompetents, funded

by the AFL at the expense of a solid competition. Saturday night’s win will hush all of those in Victoria. The young locals who ventured to Ewingsdale two Fridays ago should also take a lot of credit for ‘tuning’ the Suns up for their performance. Gold Coast started fast with early goals to Charlie Dixon, Luke Russell and Harley Bennell in a pulsating first quarter that saw youngster Aaron Hall finish with high quality disposals in the first quarter. As had been the case in their previous years, the second quarter saw a notable drop off in the Suns’ intensity as the Saints slammed on five goals to nil.

NETDAILY

Saints skipper and former Gold Coast local Nick Riewoldt – who was well held by young Suns defender Rory Thompson – kicked his only two goals for the game, while midfielders David Armitage and Jarryn Geary amassed a cool 35 possessions between them at the half. From half time onwards, it was the Gary Ablett Junior show. The third quarter saw the bald maestro break through a tackle, burn his opponent off before slotting through a magnificent goal on the run to send the Metricon crowd into raptures. There was further reason to be excited when young prodigy Jaeger O’Meara put through his first goal in league football out of a forward 50 stoppage. Much as been made of O’Meara league wide, when he was drafted as a seventeen year old yet unable to play senior footy and had to instead ply his trade in the reserves competition, winning multiple best on grounds. The Saints’ inaccuracy cost themselves a chance to extend the lead in the third quarter

as they registered a woeful 1.7 in the first and then 1.5 in the third quarter, leading by just nine points at the last break. Ablett, as if he hadn’t done enough already, then took it upon himself to quickly eradicate the St Kilda lead through three brilliant individual goals. The first saw him win a free kick deep in the Suns attack, yet it was the second and particularly the third that will be etched in the minds of the near 14,000 strong crowd. Two goals on the run, one where he pushed off Saints defender Sam Gilbert before hooking the ball across his body from 40m out, complemented a best on ground performance as he also finished with 34 possessions, 19 of them won in contested situations. The Saints came hard in the last few minutes of the last quarter led by three goals for the match from small forward Terry Milera. However, he was alone in being able to find the middle of the big sticks, as inaccuracy continued to haunt St Kilda. A seven point margin with two minutes to go, with the game in the balance, was soon erased when Hall ran into an open goal to kill off any hopes of Saints fightback. While the competition may sit up and take notice of Gold Coast’s performance, it was Ablett’s performance of four goals and 34 touches that copped the most attention, with many AFL players sending messages of support to champion via Twitter and other social media. The Suns’ task gets a little harder next week when they travel to Sydney to take on last year’s premiers the Swans. The final score was Gold Coast 13. 12. (90) defeating St Kilda 10. 17. (77). Is this a sign of the year to come? Why not. Sport is allbout making heroes and the marking of historical milestones. The Suns certainly have the talent to make the Gold Coast’s dreams come true. Watch this space!

Valuers reveal strategies for NSW property market NSW property sellers are being advised to create their own buyer profiles to help speed up the sale of their property. According to Propell National Valuers, profiling the people most likely to buy your home will help identify the best marketing and pricing structure for maximum gain. CEO Bart Mead said that while it’s currently very much a buyers’ market, sellers can get the edge by profiling their buyer, brainstorming their potential concerns and addressing them ahead of time. ‘People looking for a house under $400,000 have very different needs to those willing to spend above $800,000. Listing these fundamental traits can help sellers position their property appro-

priately and secure the best price,’ Mr Mead said. ‘Properties under $400,000 are attracting the bulk of the buyers at the moment so it’s important to know who they are and what they want. ‘At this price they are likely to be first home buyers keen to take advantage of funding incentives and exit the rental cycle, as well as investors who see the potential for strong rental yields with minimal outlay. ‘Owner occupiers will likely be students or graduates, or couples with or without a young family, and investors will have this same demographic in mind. Since buyers are likely to be new to property, they will probably be acquainted with the area and its local facilities when first entering the market. ‘With strong competition, buyers may be in a hurry to purchase and willing to accept the advertised price. ‘The more you think about your potential buyer the better you can market your property.’ Mr Mead say buyer profiling is something real estate agents have been doing for years but home owners can easily do it too. ‘If your buyer profile says young professionals, highlight features like being close to transport, shops and schools. Present a well landscaped front yard and offer quality over quantity – that is, a decent sized kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms rather than cramming lots of features such as sun rooms and dining rooms into a smaller space.’ At the other end of the market, prestige property sales above $800,000 are lifting after a slow period following the global financial crisis. ‘It’s interesting to see a return to prestige home sales, thanks to an improving global economy and a willingness on behalf of vendors

to meet market demands,’ Mr Mead said. ‘These are high income earners or retired with access to a substantial superannuation fund. ‘Their families are generally grown up and they may be looking to downsize and enjoy some of the luxuries that come with this higher bracket such as affluent locations, generous land size and attractive aesthetics. ‘Buyers in this market are generally more property savvy, in no hurry to buy immediately and willing to look further afield; meaning they possess stronger bargaining power,’ he said. Sellers in this bracket rely on buyers gaining an emotional connection with the property - ambience, scent and aesthetics play a key role in selling prestige homes. The correct pricing structure is also crucial in selling prestige property. ‘We are seeing more “no price marketing” on prestige properties these days, to cast a wider net for potential buyers and let the property speak for themselves,’ Mr Mead said.

American president Barack Obama, who brought us that immortal hit Send In The Drones, has just signed off on a bill needed for the US government to avoid imminent shutdown and pay its bills. However, tucked away in it is Section 735 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; branded the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Monsanto Protection Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by its opponents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which strips federal courts of the authority to halt the sale and propagation of genetically modified seeds and crops if concerns about health risks arise during safety tests.

Backlash agrees with the sentiments of Mullum resident Sam Leader: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As a resident of the north end of town, driving southbound towards Mullum is video-game hazardous. At least every other day, I encounter drivers on Tincogan Street failing to give way to traffic coming from the north. This happens at the junctions on Station, Stuart and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; white knuckliest of all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dalley Street. On behalf of all my neighbours, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re travelling on Tincogan Street please take the time to slow down and Give Way at the cross streets!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yes, people, locals and visitors alike, those signs are there for a very good reason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no-one enjoys being T-boned.
