Australia Day means different things to different people

Survival: no laughing matter? Breakfast in Park turns 20

Byron Bay Arakwal Elder Linda Vidler and friend Jean Sindel, mother of Bronwyn Sindel of Sisters for Reconciliation, share a laugh under the shade of the flag at the Survival Day gathering at Apex Park in Byron Bay on January 26. Linda was a proud and happy witness to a gathering that she said is getting bigger and bigger every year. So it appears more people each year would like to help celebrate the survival of Indigenous culture in Australia. Photo Lou Beaumont

Breakfast in the Park – the Australia Day event at Brunswick Heads run by the combined service clubs of Brunswick Valley – celebrated its 20th birthday last Friday. The fans lined up early in the morning to enjoy the sausage sizzle and sing oldtime songs. Margaret Giles, pictured right, one of the chief organisers and staunch publicist for the Breakfast, told the crowd, ‘When we organised our first breakfast‌ we never imagined it would come to this. In fact some thought it would never get off the ground. ‘I had persuaded the Quota Club to cater for 400 people. We had a queue along the river right back to the bridge and 600 locals and holidaymakers joined us for a good old Aussie BBQ breakfast and singalong.’ Mrs Giles paid tribute to

all the volunteers and businesses who had helped out over the years. ‘I say a big thankyou to each and every one of you – this breakfast may have been Quota’s idea but we could never have done it without your help.’ She described how the Breakfast had been carried out in all kinds of weather.

‘In 1997 you might remember was flowing through the tent ankle deep before we finished up.’ Mrs Giles put the average attendance at the Breakfast over the 20 years at 1,000. The largest crowd was 1,442 in the Centenary of Federation year. Photo Jeff Dawson

Community honours its talented and hardworking citizens Lou Beaumont The Byron Shire Community Awards for 2007 were presented by Mayor Jan Barham at the Official Australia Day Ceremony in Mullumbimby. Our mayor reminded the audience that such awards are peer nominated, ‘The nominees are not selected by Council but by you, members of the community, which makes the nominations and awards so much more valuable.’ Bangalow Billy Cart Derby was awarded the Community Event of the Year for being a

family orientated event that had the ability to consistently unite residents, businesses and local charities throughout the Shire, raising substantial funds for numerous community groups and charities. Danielle Roland and Zali Fung picked up the Junior Sports Person and Sports Person Awards respectively for their vast involvement and success in various sporting arenas and in both team and individual events. Both girls were congratulated for their contribution to their schools and community, their dedication to sport and their team mates and for being positive role models for their peers. John Brophy was named Citizen of the Year for over 70 years of community work.

Jan Barham praised him for his countless hours on community projects and for being the instigator of many charity events, including Red Cross and Salvation Army appeals. John Brophy is also responsible for getting the Taste of Byron back on Byron’s event calendar, motivating local

businesses to be a part of what materialised to be a hugely popular and successful local event. Cr Barham said of Mr Brophy, ‘A much loved and respected member of our community, John is an outstanding citizen of vision, and for that he is Citizen of the Year.’

Dramatic cliff rescue at Cape Byron

The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter rescues a 21 year old Sydney man from the base of the easterly side of the lighthouse on Sunday. The man was attempting to traverse the base of the cliffs when he fell. The identity of the man remains unclear at this point. The man suffered extensive

injuries to his leg and arm and had multiple cuts and abrasions. The man had alerted the emergency services to his predicament by dialing 000 from his mobile phone. A boat was unable to locate the man, as was an ambulance from the cliff tops. A helicopter was then des-

patched which located him. Specialist SCAT paramedics from the chopper were sent as an advanced party down to the precarious cliff face to secure other rescuers working around the injured man. The man was winched to safety on a stretcher and taken to Lismore Base Hospital. Photo Jeff Dawson

Works program for YAC on way ‘After a report to Council last year on the need for repairs to the Youth Activities Centre (YAC) and an allocation of $111,000 to undertake the safety upgrade, a program of works is being finalised in consultation with users of the Centre,’ Byron Shire Council said in a press release last week. The Council’s Director Corporate and Community Services, Property Manager and YAC Coordinator have met with program providers of the YAC, including the largest tenant of the Centre, the Byron Youth Service, to discuss the proposed program and timeline for the urgent safety works. After detailed assessment of the scale and scope of works, the works will be programmed to have the least possible impact on the important youth services

provided at the Centre. Urgent safety works are due to commence following more detailed assessment, and in consultation with users, said Council’s Director Corporate and Community Services, Elisabeth Brown. ‘We are working with the users of the Centre to finalise the timeframe and scope of works to minimise disruption to their activities where feasible, and to enable an approval for youth entertainment activities to be issued as soon as possible. ‘In the interim period, programmed activities will be able to continue in the YAC, but unfortunately there will be some interruption to the youth entertainment activities until the essential safety works are completed to meet the required higher safety standard. Council is committed to working with users to

ad t... is oun h t sc on di i t % en 10 M ta ge &

complete the essential safety upgrade as quickly and smoothly as possible. We apologise for any temporary inconvenience that may be necessary.’ Ms Brown said that in the last few years Council has been catching up with the backlog of works programs that were created during Byron Shire’s eight year debt period. In recent years, rate increases have been specifically allocated to community building upgrades, with $276,000 allocated in 2007/08 from this source. According to the press release, in the last two years Council has allocated substantial funds to upgrade community buildings and has also increased the YAC staff position to a full time position; waived rents for the Byron Youth Service at the YAC and at Mullumbimby;

resolved to employ a Youth Development Officer; supported Street Cruise programs; been successful in obtaining Attorney General’s Grant funding to support youth based safety and support projects; and constructed new sporting fields at Suffolk Park, including a planned skatepark. ■Letters, page 9

David Gulpilil in town for peace film

extensive research for the film included interviewing high profile activists, politicians, ex-public servants and cultural groups. ‘We’ve interviewed the Women’s Muslim Association, The Arabic Council of Australia, US activist Cindy Sheehan, Alan Madden, Dr John Keane, Peter Garrett, John Robertson, Bob Brown, David Hicks’s father Terry, and head of the British Muslim Association and organiser of the London peace rallies Dr Anas Al-tikriti, to name a few.’ Also appearing in the film are journalist John Pilger, singer Jackson Browne and David Gulpilil. ‘These people will be the heroes in the future,’ Richard says. ‘David Gulpilil turns

Hans Lovejoy Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil and wife Miriam will be in Byron Bay from February 6 for workshops that include dance, painting, songs and stories. According to organiser Richard Friar, Gulpilil is already booked to speak at Southern Cross University. ‘He’s the best story teller I have ever heard. It’s a very lucky experience to be a part of his magic, and his humour, wit and charm represents the true face of the planet. I’ve never been so impressed with a person’s patience, ability to communicate and teach.’ Coinciding with the workshops, Gulpilil will be at the premiere of a new Australian film about peace. The invasion of Iraq and the world peace marches of 2003 inspired Richard Friar and partner Wendy to turn to film making and they have just completed a documentary called Think About It, which refers to a phrase that Gulpilil often uses, according to Richard. The film explores peace activism and the roles that individuals can play to initiate social change. The couple, from Sydney, are currently in Byron Bay to add the finishing touches to the project at In Your Face Productions. ‘We want to capture the essence of Byron Bay for the film,’ Richard told The Echo. ‘Byron is recognised internationally as a place of compassion and peace and it’s fitting that our journey wraps up here.’ Inspired by people such as Ghandi, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and indigenous communities around the world, Richard and Wendy’s

out to be the star of the story – he has a surprise ending for the film and we are very privileged to have him here for the opening.’ Breaking down the ‘divide and rule’ mentality is a central theme according to the film-makers. ‘We are all part of one global family, and it’s time to reclaim our global

citizenship,’ Richard says. ‘I didn’t know much about politics or religion, but was disgusted back in 2002 with what I could see was lies regarding the Iraq invasion. What’s more, I was amazed that no-one wanted to talk about it. ‘Divide and rule as a survival strategy is killing us and the planet, yet there are millions of voices around the world stating the obvious – if humanity is to have a future we have to unite.’ Solutions, according to Wendy, include individuals who care for peace taking the matter into their own hands. ‘Secondly, create frameworks that enable groups to unite beyond governments. The power of the people needs to mature and take advantage of 21st century technology.’ The film has the backing of peace march facilitator Bruce Childs. ‘He is totally behind the film as are all the organisations who organised the peace rallies around Australia in 2003.’ Think About It will be screened February 24 at 7pm and 9pm at the Byron Community Centre. Live music performances will be by Bunna. For enquiries about Gulpilil’s appearance and bookings ring Richard Friar 0405 719 555.

Local clubs inspected NSW Minister for Industrial Relations, John Della Bosca, has confirmed that ongoing visits to registered clubs on the north coast were being conducted by inspectors from the NSW Office of Industrial Relations. Mr Della Bosca said the local visits were part of a state-wide campaign to

ensure businesses in every industry were paying their staff appropriately. Mr Della Bosca said most clubs were doing the right thing. Some of the breaches had been honest mistakes and club administrators had taken immediate steps to fix them.

Reflections on freedoms taken for granted Lou Beaumont It was the first time I had attended the official Australia Day Ceremony at the Brunswick Valley Historical Society Museum in Mullumbimby. It was also the first time in as long as I can remember that I sang the National Anthem, the second verse specifically. How many of us easily remember that our anthem’s lyrics declare, ‘For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share’? I couldn’t help ponder the plight of those less fortunate, refugees from countries that so often don’t share our national philosophies on freedom: freedom of speech, of religion and culture, freedom of movement and the freedom to be who we are and do what we want, within reason, without fear of judgment or punishment by fellow countrymen. Australia Day means something different to everyone but for all the speakers at the official ceremony for Byron Shire there seemed to be a unanimous opinion that Australia Day was an opportunity to reflect on the freedoms we so often take for granted in this country. It was also the most appropriate occasion for each speaker

to first acknowledge the original inhabitants of this country, because for our indigenous population, Australia Day is known as Invasion Day, or more positively Survival Day for those choosing to celebrate the survival of Aboriginal culture despite the years of suppression. Jackie Frank, Australia Day Ambassador and editor of Marie Claire magazine, took time to appreciate the opportunities that Australia offered her immigrant mother and father. Ms Frank said, ‘Australia is a country of hope and of freedom. We so often take for granted the freedom of speech and the freedom of

the press in this country. Not all citizens of other countries are so lucky, with terrible punishments, such as being stoned to death, dealt for “crimes� such as adultery. In this country we have an incredible freedom to be ourselves.’ To Member for Ballina Don Page, Australia Day is a day to celebrate what is great about being Australian: ‘There are many things to celebrate. For one, we are a genuine, mature, working democracy. We can change governments with the stroke of a pen and without raising a gun. ‘We can be proud that we were second only to New Zealand in giving women the

vote, and we should never take for granted our innumerable freedoms.’ Mr Page believes there to be traits such as friendliness and openness that are common to all Australians. He added that Australians always want to see people get a ‘fair go’, are sports mad, have an ever present sense of humour and have an innate need to help others – displaying mateship that transcends gender and race. He also agreed with Mayor Jan Barham that without vast volunteerism, the glue of our communities, Australia would be a much poorer nation. ‘Our diversity of religion and culture is unimaginably high,’ Mr Page said. ‘Apart from the Indigenous people of Australia, everyone else is an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant. With each new citizen, extra value is added to our national community.’ An appropriate 26 people were declared citizens on Australia Day in Mullum this year. Men, women and children from England, Ireland, Wales, France, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, Israel and the Netherlands officially became Australians on January 26, 2007.

Byron Bay Youth House offers ray of hope What are the options open to young people when faced with family breakdown, mental health issues, domestic violence and addictions, or often combinations of all these issues? The choices for young people are either to remain in a harmful or even abusive situation or leave. Leaving often means couch surfing friends’ and relatives’ homes or sleeping rough, which can lead to other forms of abuse and neglect. The Byron Bay Youth House provides crisis accommodation and supported medium-long term housing for young people 16 to 24 years of age who find them-

selves in such situations. The youth house provides young people with a stable base where they can then face the stresses of modern life in a region where there is the prospect of either a low income or unemployment. The Byron Bay Youth House is a not for profit organisation funded by DOCS and overseen by a Management Committee and service Coordinator. The house has a team of youth workers who support young people in identifying their specific needs in independent living skills which will assist them to either return to the parental home

Bob Brown hits town Parliamentary leader of The Greens, Senator Bob Brown, will be in Byron on February 10 and will speak at the Byron High School hall at 7pm. Tickets for the event are available at bookshops in most Northern Rivers towns for $12/$10. Sen Brown was last in Byron in September 2005, and remembers the visit well. ‘Byron and the hinterland has a unique creative energy and relationship with the environment,’ he said. ‘I look forward to returning to the town that turned the tide for Recherche Bay.’ During Senator Brown’s

last visit, a comment from the floor produced a solution that eventually saved Recherche Bay in Tasmania through a private purchase. Fresh from a smash hit season at the Woodford and Melbourne Comedy Festivals with the skit ‘Me and Mr Brown’, Brown has recently been leavening his politics with a little humour. He will be in Byron to speak about the urgency of action on energy matters, primarily replacing mining of coal and uranium with renewable energy. More info at www.byronballinagreens.org.

or find other stable accommodation. While living at the refuge young people are linked into the various support services, such as drug and alcohol counselling, fam-

ily mediation, recreation, study programs and suitable work where possible. For further information contact the Byron Bay Youth House on 6685 7264.

Funny how the young kid around The Big Joke Festival running in Bangalow February 9-11 is pioneering kids standup comedy, inspired, created and performed by kids. Festival director and The Echo’s entertainment editor Mandy Nolan brings her years of experience as a comedian and teacher of comedy to mentoring joking juvenilles aged 9 to 14 in a workshop she calls ‘Funny Kids’. ‘So often children’s entertainment is devised by adults and performed by adults,’ says Mandy. ‘Funny Kids is a show that really shows the intelligence of our children. ‘Standup comedy allows the kids to delve into their inner selves and express the kind of issues that perplex them – bullies, not being allowed to shop at SuprĂŠ by their hippy mum, insufficient pocket money and the feelings of hopelessness and anger at the prospect of being handed a planet on the brink of extinction.’ In the workshop process Mandy takes the kids through a series of exercises to locate what she calls: ‘authentic voice.’ ‘I’m not looking for knock knock jokes. I am looking for what makes a kid tick. What’s their relationship like with their parents, where do they fit in with their fam-

ily, what are their daily struggles, what are their dreams for the future, what are their greatest fears? Do they still believe in the bogeyman? What do they hate?’ According to Mandy, the process is very empowering and allows young people to stand outside the dominant paradigm. It reminds them

to view themselves as unique. Performing validates their point of view and reminds the other kids in the audience that they are not alone, that there are other kids experiencing difficulties and challenges as well. Standup comedy helps kids develop vital skills like: confidence, perspective and resilience.

‘What I love about teaching kids standup comedy is that for the first time they see the perfect, beautiful overachieving kids as being at a disadvantage,’ says Mandy. ‘The less you fit the status quo, the more successful you are as a comic!’ Mandy initially intended the workshop to attract a maximum of 15 children but she was inundated with enrolments, with kids coming from as far as the Gold Coast to participate. TV Director Russell Burton (Always Greener, Water Rats, Stingers) was so impressed by the concept that he has a crew filming for an upcoming documentary. After their workshop the kids will have two further rehearsals and then perform for the very first time at The Big Joke Comedy Festival on Saturday February 10 at 11am in the Bangalow A& I Hall. The show will be a fundraiser for Spaghetti Circus. Tickets are $5 for kids, $10 for adults and $25 for a family, and are available at the door.

Down to earth home truths with Dave

V>ÀÊ>ÂˆĂ€Â‡VÂœÂ˜ĂŠ ĂƒiĂ€Ă›ÂˆViĂƒĂŠf™™

Story & photo Lou Beaumont If the ACE Energy Efficient Home Designs course with David Lawrence caught your eye, you are more than likely building a house, a homeowner looking to renovate, or someone considering doing one or the other. Perhaps your interest in energy efficient design comes from a wish to save money on building costs or longer term energy bills, or a desire to live more eco-consciously by reducing energy output during everyday life and choosing environmentally friendly building materials. Most likely, as a current or future owner builder you would like to achieve both. Dave Lawrence is one man who can help you accomplish this. Dave, together with his wife Ruth, runs Byron Energy Efficient Design. He has an obvious passion for his profession, enough commonsense to poke a stick at and an affable and down to earth demeanour. It is a combination of these characteristics that doubtlessly makes him such a popular tutor. Teaching this course with ACE since 1997 makes him one of the longest standing tutors with the program. His teaching style is informal, favouring tailoring the course to current students over sticking to a structured format. Dave says, ‘I find a more relaxed approach to teaching a far more effective way to draw on the knowledge within the students themselves. Interactive classes are more fun for everyone and each student has knowledge to impart, even if they don’t know it! I have witnessed firm friendships being made every year that I run this course, possibly from the sharing of similar interests and the casual nature of the class. Meeting like-minded people is one of the bonuses of taking part in an ACE course.’ Richard Vinycomb, Direc-

Dave Lawrence, Energy Efficient Home Designer and ACE tutor, takes shelter from intense westerly sun behind his fibre cement sheeting shutters. An example of an inexpensive house cooling option, these homemade sheets were bagged in a cement based non-toxic paint. The shutters allow air through to the house while keeping the hot sun off and, in over several years of exposure, they have not required one cent of maintenance.

tor of ACE, told The Echo, ‘The Energy Efficient Home Designs course is illustrative of our primary aims at ACE which is to provide courses which people, at either individual or a business level, can use practically. Dave’s course is well balanced. He is down to earth, but he also provides the necessary amount of technical information.’ The course takes students through the must-knows for an owner builder, in addition, of course, to the specialist information on energy efficient design. Those who are familiar with the former process will know that no two builds are the same, so there is always more to learn, and for virgin builders or renovators, the course guides you through the frequently hazardous development approval process, highlighting common unforeseen pitfalls. Dave says, ‘There a lots of traps out there for the unaware. Building a house is a dream. People are sold the dream. The only problem is, in order to dream, you have to be asleep. In my course I aim to wake people up. Not

to scare them, but to raise their awareness so they can make informed decisions.’ It appears to me that the afore mentioned part of the course where Dave advises on approval processes, pitfalls, BASIX and bushfire certificates are the ‘home truths’, pun intended. Noone particularly wants to hear about them but without the information you may be seriously disadvantaged and possibly up for financial loss and unnecessary stress. If you have to traverse a minefield you may as well follow someone who knows where the mines are. Dave says, ‘People first need to know what it is they are wanting to achieve. Revisiting objectives is vital as they can change rapidly. I also encourage my students to consider building smaller houses if energy efficiency is the aim. At least by starting small and keeping the design simple the house can be modified, adapted and expanded where necessary.’ The ACE Energy Efficient House Design course with Dave Lawrence runs over three Wednesdays from

March 14 to 28, 6pm-9pm, where theory is imparted, plus two Saturdays, March 17 and 24, 9am-1pm, which include site visits to houses with diverse energy efficient designs, many of which were co-designed and built by exstudents from the course. The course costs $145 ($132 conc). Visit www.acemullum.com, call 6684 3374 or check the Term 1 guide for over 130 inspiring courses.

Howard splashes out with big spin Vol 21 #33

January 30, 2007

UFO mystery solved We are indebted to India Daily (www.indiadaily. com/) for finally solving the problem of where unidentified flying objects (UFOs) come from. An anonymous staff reporter notes: ‘Kongka La is the low ridge pass in the Himalayas. It is in the disputed India-China border area in Ladakh. This is the area where Indian and Chinese armies fought major war in 1962. ‘The area is one of the least accessed area in the world and by agreement the two countries do not patrol this part of the border. According to many tourists, Buddhist monks and the local people of Ladakh, the Indian Army and the Chinese Military maintain the line of control. But there is something much more serious happening in this area. ‘According to the few local people on the Indian and Chinese sides, this is where the UFOs are seen coming out of the ground. According to many, the UFO underground bases are in this region and both the Indian and Chinese Government know this very well...’ Well, that’s that, then. It saves all that faster-thanlight or hyperwarp travel if UFOs are driven by aliens (which would account for Roger Federer’s otherworldly tennis skills) and if UFOs are the technology of an earth-based military power, then the remote reaches of the Himalayas are a good place to hide them. We can discount the USA – they would have used flying saucers to get them out of trouble in Iraq. The UFOS also account for supernatural phenomena in Tibet. The bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead are not so much spiritual planes but recorded joy flights on alien spacecraft. For more on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, see page 12. We are also indebted to India Daily for distracting us from the empty lies of Australian politicians, our nation’s obsession with accumulating goods and its fascination with a flag firmly stamped with the Union Jack, the symbol of British imperialism. At least India got out from under the colonial yoke, and has a decent flag. Designed by Pingali Venkayya rather than a committee it features the Ashoka Chakra, taken from the Ashoka pillar at Sarnath. Could that chakra really be a spinning UFO? We are indebted, too, to the French space agency (www.cnes.fr/web/455-cnes-en.php) which intends to put up a list of reported UFO sightings. Perhaps even more amazing, it has overcome its cultural superiority and put up a version of its website in English. At least the French are more attuned to the spirit of the times than the American space agency NASA, which clings to the empirical standards of science. The sooner UFO pilots start drinking chocolate and eating croissants for breakfast, the sooner we’ll all feel safer in our beds.

ou have to hand it to the maestro. The $10 billion water initiative – Little Johnny’s Great Big Splash – is brilliant politics. Whether or not it is good policy will depend on if, when and how it is implemented, and there’s a lot of devil in the detail. But the election will be long gone before any serious leaks become obvious, and in the meantime the Howard huggers can rejoice in the knowledge that their Dear Leader can still give his opposition a bath. Consider how many problems Howard has solved with this single strike: He has dispelled any suggestion that his government is tired, lazy and bereft of new policy ideas. He has taken back the initiative on climaterelated issues, on which he was thought to be weak. He has neutralised Kevin Rudd’s push for a new federalism by announcing the biggest Commonwealth takeover since federation. He has trumped Rudd by incorporating Labor’s water policies into his own, and then enlarging on them. He has locked up $10 billion during an election year, severely limiting Labor’s ability to make credible promises. He has wedged all the Labor state premiers who, in spite of a bit of huffing and puffing, cannot afford to reject a popular move which Rudd has already been forced to endorse. He has given Malcolm Turnbull a huge boost at the expense of Peter Costello, thus removing any possibility of an immediate threat to his leadership. He has created a massive diversion which will take the focus away from inconveniences such as industrial relations, David Hicks and the rapidly fading Wheat

Board bribery scandal – anyone remember that? And last but not least, he has completely stalled Rudd’s progress in cautiously but methodically wheeling out its own policy initiatives. Asked about Labor’s plans for an education revolution, Howard fell back on Crocodile Dundee: ‘That’s not a revolution – this is a revolution.’ And for once the quote was completely apposite. There is, as always, a certain amount of smoke and mirrors involved. The initiative actually has nothing to do with climate change or

from the ministerial reshuffle before voters can realise just what a cop-out it really was. Amanda Vanstone blustered off; Howard’s own teddy bear, Joe Hockey, was moved to Workplace Relations where it is hoped his ursinity will be useful in flogging the Work Choices lemon, while the thin-lipped Kevin Andrews was relegated to the cesspit of Immigration; and of course Malcolm Turnbull ascended into heaven. And that was about it. Apart from Vanstone, hardly any dead wood was disposed of. Rod Kemp, known to his

But John Cobb, Jim Lloyd, Fran Bailey, Ian Macfarlane and De-Anne Kelly – to name but the silliest – continue to disfigure the front bench. A handful of Costello supporters have finally made it into the new ministry, presumably on the basis that they no longer constitute even the mildest of threats; even George Brandis, the man who christened Howard ‘the lying rodent’ gets a guernsey. But if this is really the best our Dear Leader can do to muster ‘an effective concentration of firepower’ for the election, Rudd remains in useful side effect of the with a chance.

The immediate effect on the vast bulk of Australians who live in the cities will be zilch; unless it rains, water restrictions will continue, with increasing severity. Even in the bush it will be a while before conservation and trading measures make any real difference. And do not expect the Murray to flow happily through to Lake Alexandrina any time soon. But it’s the thought that counts, and for once Howard has had a big one.To cap it off, in the same week came the first real signs that the drought might be breaking.

T

he jelly-bellied flag-flappers, as Rudyard Kipling once called them, certainly had a Big Day Out; indeed, they carried it over into Australia Day, using their Howard-given right to use the national banner as a weapon of wog destruction with enthusiasm and gusto. While this year there were no reports of victims being bashed up if they failed to kiss the Chinese-made artifacts, the message remained the same; after all, it is hard to interpret a T shirt bearing the flag and the slogan ‘Love it or fuck off’ as anything but an invitation to a stoush. Howard apparently believes this is a legitimate use for the flag, along with its function as a picnic rug, underwear or a snot rag – anything as long as it is displayed. Those who believe that the flag deserves more dignity may have their qualms, but in Howard’s case we should not expect any: he is, after all, himself a serial abuser. His staff carry a giant flag wherever they go, and our Dear Leader seldom appears without it. Many are the false promises, the poisonous smears, the deliberate discords and downright lies he has let fly from the shelter of its folds. Indeed, there is a good argument that in recent times the flag has become so debased that the only sensible course would be to throw it away and get a new one – unless, of course, you agree with Ambrose Bierce that any flag is merely ‘a coloured rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London – “Rubbish may be shot here.”’

Rebuilding at the YAC ■ I refer to your article entitled ‘YAC Shuts Down’ (Echo, January 23). It is unfortunate that this article gives the impression that the YAC is closing for business, and that ‘Council’s inaction leaves youth stranded’, when in fact, Council is in the process of carrying out a major safety upgrade of the building so that it can continue to serve the youth of the Shire. A check of the facts with an authorised spokesperson from Council would have revealed that discussions had been held with tenants and staff of the YAC, including the site meeting on January 12, to progress the issue. A program of works had been drafted and a meeting scheduled to discuss the proposed scope of works and timeline with the users of the Centre. The YAC is not shutting down, and the majority of programs at the YAC will continue to operate while the works are carried out. Unfortunately some youth events have had to be postponed or cancelled because the ‘place of public entertainment’ approval has lapsed. Some safety upgrade works are required before it can be reissued, and these are being addressed now, as quickly as possible, through the process outlined above. Council is committed to upgrading the Centre, and to working with the users of the YAC to keep them informed

Mullumbimby ■ The call for more police as the cure for unacceptable youth behaviour should be ignored. A police officer receives about $60,000 a year and associated payroll costs (super, sick pay etc) would probably cost another $60,000. Consequently two police officers would cost the community approximately $240,000 a year. Surely $240,000 a year spent on converting a rarely used hall in Brunswick Heads into a drop-in centre, with programs to interest and cater for our young people in their unemployed periods or spare out-ofschool hours and holiday time, would do more to soak up and direct their priceless energy into a positive and creative direction. A similar call for police officers is often heard at Ocean Shores. Here, too, $240,000 a year could provide a youth drop-in centre and urgently needed sporting fields. Additional police is a much more costly and far less effective method of dealing with this social problem. As parliamentary elections come closer our political parties vie for the ‘tougher on crime’ image, and unfortunately various organisations

fall in behind this false, diversionary political scam. More police in Brunswick Heads and Ocean Shores will not solve the problem of our neglected youth. The cure is more to do with employment, facilities and programmed activities. As an aged retiree I have more choices of activities than our precious young, a social scandal which can be cured.

Equestrian physics While sharing the sentiments of Russell Lean’s letter (Echo, January 23), ie idiots on our roads, Einstein’s famous equation derived in his special theory of relativity is E = mc2. This states an equivalence between energy (E) and mass (m), in direct proportion to the square of the speed of light in a vacuum (c2). Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration (a) of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force acting on the object (F) and inversely proportional to its mass (m), commonly written as F = ma or that force is directly proportion to the product of the mass and acceleration. Assuming that the cars in question were not moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light, a more appropriate calculation would be the kinetic energy of the cars, i.e. the extra energy which they possess due to their motion. Or Ek = ½ mv2, where v is the velocity (as opposed to acceleration) of the car.

This means that kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed, and that a car travelling twice as fast will have four times as much energy when it hits the horse, person, small child, tree, etc. Ouch. Marc Salmon

Bye Bye Blundys Well, another Aussie icon will be going overseas to be manufactured in Asia, and 300 Aussie jobs will be sacrificed in Tasmania. The good old Blundstone boot – I bought my one and only pair 10-12 years ago and having trekked up Mt Warning (Wollumbin), fought

bushfires I still use them around home. What a great boot! Will the Asians still turn out the same quality product? That remains to be seen. I was thinking when my poor old Blundys give up the ghost who will I call? Maybe R M Williams. Maybe some of the 300 jobless from Blundstone’s in Tassie could be employed by the company mentioned above, food for thought. I’m sure the workers will need a great quality boot from somewhere. I know I will soon. Paul Brecht

Acid soils Independent soils analysis of the Samtay Wooyung development shows it contains sulphuric acid levels of 3.8 pH – about the same level as vinegar. The tests were carried out by ALS Environmental in Melbourne and copies have been sent to NSW Planning Minister Frank Sartor. Acidity only really becomes a problem when you disturb the top and substrata of acid sulphate soils, which is exactly what the developer Samtay Pty Ltd wants to do by building its ridiculous canal system. Heavy excavation would send oxygenised and concentrated levels of sulphuric acid down in to the water table where it would billow along like a slow motion mushroom cloud. I can’t say how quickly this would spread because it depends on how much organic matter it encounters and the general conductivity of the water table, rainfall levels and the geography of the landscape. As a rule of thumb, the higher the rainfall, the greater the water pressure and spread.

Small succulent plants watered with bore water will die. The top leaves of trees will curl and turn brown as high levels of acidity are pumped up via osmosis. Grass will die although some hardy strains will survive. The water table stretches up to Burringbar and Crabbes Creek and the floodplain stretches down the coast to South Golden Beach and Ocean Shores, so they will be affected as well. Fishermen will notice dead fish floating near the edges of the river. The same might happen to areas of the Brunswick River but I don’t have water table surveys of that area. The ecosystem of both shires would change. Unfortunately, once it’s done, there’s no turning the clock back. Time to rethink your ideas, Samtay. Malcolm King

Climate of fear I have just watched Global Warming: Bush’s Climate of Fear, scheduled at lunchtime on Monday (SBS), no doubt part of the John Howard T.V. programming regime, when people are least likely to be watching. May I add it was relatively current footage. Essentially the program states that some of the US’s leading climate scientists claim they have been censored by the Bush administration and having watched the show, I totally concur. Let’s remember, just months before office, Bush rejected Kyoto, as it wasn’t good for his votes, ie. industry mates. In Texas they don’t walk: they swagger (some may suggest, their way through the world). Texas is the home of SUVs and is full of Hummers, those wonderful eight

cylinder fuel guzzlers. If it were a country, Texas would be the sixth biggest polluter in the world. All this and more. Finally, as one prominent scientist said, ‘Anyone who doesn’t hear, needs a hearing aid.’ Sally Freeman-Greene

Age of hypocrisy In the increasingly unlikely event that there will be anybody around in 100 years to record human history, our times will surely be registered under the title of ‘the age of double standards and hypocrisy’. Listed, among the innumerable examples, will be the case of a certain Australian Prime Minister who would one day launch indignant attacks on the right-wing extremist elements of a religion he regards as ‘them’, and then the very next day he would, without a blink of the eye, sing hymns of praise about the right-wing extremist elements of another religion he regards as ‘us’. ‘Jesus Loves You’ is the catch-cry of John Howard’s beloved Catch the Fire Ministries. Sure, ‘Jesus Loves You’ and ‘Work Makes You Free’ and give my regards to Orwell. Why don’t we ask David Hicks just how much he is being loved by John Howard’s Jesus? As it has been found out, the very word ‘love’ is being systematically censored and erased from the letters sent to Hicks by his loved ones from Australia. The acts of men who proudly profess their commitment to ‘Christian values’. As Orwell says in 1984: ‘One did not know what happened inside the Ministry of Love, but it was possible to guess: tortures,

Exodus excellence A big congratulations to the team (a group of women I heard) who presented this years Exodus Festival. You deserve recognition, the experience was remarkable. For three days children, elders, all nationalities, party goers, mainstream dwellers and Indigenous people came together harmoniously, and celebrated. There was not a single incident of violence, differences melted as everyone was free to express themselves in their own way‌ together. I have attended many festivals and dance parties dur-

ing my 14 years living in this region. Never before have I seen children being honoured in the way they were at the 2007 Exodus Festival. They were an integral part of the event, a dreaming many of us mothers, and fathers, have been waiting for. This year the dream was manifest! It felt safe to let my daughter explore her surroundings at Exodus, much safer than when she plays in the parks at Byron. She grew through her independence, and the sense of community that embraced her. The kids’ tent was fully activated each day, facilitated by energetic and dedicated people (mainly volunteers) who were passionate about what they shared with the kids. The cabaret stage was a hit, the delicious range of food stalls were fantastic, and the dance areas were continually inhabited, allowing people a space

to express themselves, let go, celebrate, come together and have fun. Thank you to everyone who played a part in the success of Exodus, even the guys who continually collected rubbish, with smiles on their faces. Bhadrena Rose

Water too precious Water too precious to be left in the hands of the states? I can see the federal government, after gaining control of the commodity, selling Australia’s precious water to private enterprise which, naturally, has no interest in the life-sustaining substance but has an indecent interest in bloated profits and massive pays for execs, plus limited interest in spending on infrastructures. Why should we suddenly trust federal governments with our water? They have disposed of the Common-

wealth Bank, Qantas, airports, Telstra, and heaven knows what else. To believe that they’ll suddenly adopt the principle of ‘national interest’ is supremely naive. In view of the federal government’s obsessive penchant for ‘selling the farm’ it is reasonable to predict that, if water comes under the control of the Commonwealth, all water below and above ground in this parched land will eventually be sold to local commercial interests. Subsequently, Australia’s status as a neo-colony will be sealed when the control of our water will evaporate into foreign hands.

Is there anybody in there? Hello? David Lovejoy returns to the Elysian fields in search of a missing deity

M

y diatribe against religion and the god delusion (The Echo, January 2) prompted many letters, which was perhaps not surprising. What was surprising was that most were generally supportive of the proposition that belief in god, especially when structured as institutional religion, is harmful to both individuals and society. I expected severe castigation with detailed bible references from some of the fiercer Christians, if not actual pulpit denunciation. But of course they did not bother: I am a lost cause. Well, not completely. There are some qualifications that need to be made. Certainly the concept of god cannot be made to stand for all the things we don’t understand yet, still less as a moral ogre to punish and reward. If there is any way that god makes sense it is as an untestable hypothesis, or as Rabelais said, ‘the great Perhaps’. It is that Perhaps that I wish to acknowledge here. Because it is untestable it is opaque to science. All that we can know about it comes from subjective experience. If we asked everyone on earth, six billion subjective experiences might form some kind of rough consensus, but how much of it would be attributable to religious indoctrination, and how much else to the natural functions of the brain and nervous system we all share? If the evolution of self-aware consciousness carelessly leaves a by-product in the

form of phantom transcendental perceptions, how are we to reason ourselves out of that! This is not an academic question for me. In the sixties I took many doses of LSD, influenced by the Aldous Huxley/Timothy Leary high church psychedelic movement. The trips were often structured around the Tibetan Book of the Dead in a callow attempt to achieve fast-track enlightenment. The effect of these experiments was profound: I knew that I was embedded in a spectrum of consciousness that stretched from stones to the stars. To call this universal matrix that included but also transcended my individual ego ‘God’ was to prejudge the issue. Certainly nothing less like the traditional religious concept of god could be imagined. Needless to say, enlightenment was not apparent outside the realm of LSD. Eventually I found a spiritual master and undertook the slow-haul track to enlightenment, but over the years inspiration waned and the goal receded ever further. So is our sensation of god just a product of right-brain dreaming, triggered by fasting, incense, chanting or psychotropic molecules? Is the truth within, accidentally inscribed in us at the cellular level, like redundant junk DNA, or is the truth actually out there in objective but forever unprovable existence? DMT, or N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a chemical with much more powerful psychedelic effects than LSD.

The inside of David Lovejoy’s head filmed by our special camera.

It is the active principle of Ayahuasca, the plant combination used by South American shamans. Last week I took DMT with the help of an experienced and skilful home-grown guide. When ingested orally it requires a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MOAI) in order to be psychoactive, hence the plant cocktail of the jungle shamans, which notoriously induces retching. I was lucky: a pharmaceutical MOAI combined with crystals of DMT meant that I was spared the nausea. However, I wasn’t spared other discomforts. The onset was not unlike that of an LSD trip. Behind my eyelids a jewelled geometric pattern began to swirl. But then in the first rush I was riven with a sensation of mortality. Great snakes writhed around swallowing their tails like the worm of Ouroboros and I

felt unable either to remain with or to leave my worn-out body. The vivid, brightly coloured, high-definition images shrivelled to grey as if in death. The ever-present pain in my mouth expanded monstrously, dominating my sensations. The guide felt my terror and gently tried to move me along, thinking that more of the entheogenic material might help. I declined, not wisely I think as my experience was threatening to end in this portal of pain before I had learned anything. Somehow I found a space of temporary rest for my body, and the geometric patterns resumed. They morphed into graceful feminine, somehow Egyptian, forms. I realised that there was a playful erotic charge in the images, that I was being invited into something. To my lasting regret

my old LSD conditioning rejected the communication. The Tibetan Book of the Dead’s injunction to avoid the bardos of rebirth prevented me going further. And I don’t even believe in reincarnation! At one point I entered a chamber where I believe something positive and important was communicated to me. This took by terrestrial time somewhere between ten and twenty minutes. At the end of this period a door closed in my mind and beyond a vague feeling of gratitude I have no memory of the communication. It is the strangest sensation to know you were conscious and have no memory of it. I’m hoping the closed door is timed to open again one day. Thereafter the eidetic images waned and I found myself in the familiar psychedelic territory of super-clarity, where a heightened awareness delivers insights into your current state of being.Whether this is normal for Ayahuasca I do not know; it is certainly one of the benefits of LSD that has been lost since it was made illegal in psychiatry. It is a painful waste that this substance is now mainly used as a lowdose party drug. I will spare you personal instances of resolved conflict towards the end of the DMT journey, but they did occur. My preconceptions, based on knowledge of LSD, deprived me of the full DMT experience. There was information to be gained, rather than a state to be achieved,

and I did not gain it. So I cannot say if actual entities exist beyond the gateway of changed brain chemistry, but I do not reject the idea. That many things exist which are outside our present ability to explain or understand does not equal an automatic acceptance of the supernatural. So, no god, sorry. We definitely need to lay the nursery story to rest. No god, but possibly gods, in the sense that there may be beings as powerful relative to us as we are to domestic pets. We would think of them as indistinguishable from gods in the same way as Arthur C Clarke says we would think of any sufficiently advanced technology as indistinguishable from magic. But they are not supernatural, just unexplained. However, as William James pointed out, gods are not a satisfactory alternative to God. With many gods running the show you could be subject to a demarcation dispute and fall between territories. Only one supreme deity provides assurance that all will be saved. It’s a persuasive idea, but I think it’s just our syncretising minds patterning unity where none exists. What we actually know, in the sense that we can prove it to each other, is that the universe is many billions of years old, that life on earth is the product of evolutionary processes, and that god is a redundant argument. Self-aware creatures are responsible for their own salvation.

Millipede mayhem strikes the youth of Australia Every autumn, millions of little legs invade Australian houses as the feral Portuguese millipede goes on the march, but next March hundreds of CSIRO’s Double Helix Science Club members and students will be waiting. Millipede Mayhem is the latest Double Helix National Experiment where students, families and schools work with CSIRO to map the invertebrate’s spread. The data will become part of scientific research examining its distribution, morphology and adaptations. ‘The survey is an important step in controlling this invasive pest,’ says CSIRO entomologist Dr Geoff Baker who first studied the millipedes 35 years ago. Portuguese millipedes

mass in plague proportions in late summer and autumn, causing havoc for homeowners. In extreme circumstances they have brought rail systems to a halt by smothering tracks and making them too slippery for the trains to gain traction. Little is known about more complex interactions the invasive invertebrate has with our ecosystems or where it has spread since the last national survey 22 years ago. Participation in the survey is free and open to everyone. People can register at www.csiro.au/education/ MillipedeMayhem.html and need to send collected millipedes by the end of April. More information is available at www.csiro.au/ Close-up of your average Portuguese millipede, courtesy CSIRO. It helix. may also be the inside of David Lovejoy’s head.

Learn to love your ‘invisible friends’ The Aspects of the Novel series of writing workshops in Byron Bay has hit the ground running. Demand for Getting Started, the first workshop with Leigh Redhead, was so great that the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre will run the event twice, sellouts both times. Keyboards are now tapping all round the region as nascent novelists get to work. Momentum is building for the second workshop in the series, Character Building, with Marele Day, pictured, on February 24. New writers who find a yawning abyss where their characters should be are sometimes told to keep writ-

invent convincing characters, to develop and get to know these ‘invisible friends’ and bring them to life on the page through dialogue, narrative voice and point of view. Marele Day is a successful writer and an in-demand workshop presenter around the country. She is the author of the Claudia Valentine mysteries

ing and not to panic, someone will arrive. This workshop will hasten that arrival and help you drive your story forward with strong, credible characters.

A character’s journey is often the guiding force of a story and a well-fleshed character will drive the narrative. Marele explores ways to

positive qualities of Camphors – for instance, they are now a major and reliable winter food source for many fruit-eating birds and often form the first protective canopy over what can later be healthy native rainforest – this will help you work out your priorities in a long-term year-by-year Camphor management plan. Firstly, you’ll deal with those Camphors performing no useful function, for example Camphor saplings along fencelines on

and her latest novel, Mrs Cook: the Real and Imagined Life of the Captain’s Wife, was published in 2002. Character Building will be held on Saturday February 24 in Byron Bay.

Other early priorities are where they are crowding mature native trees, or where young rainforest that has established itself under Camphors has reached a height where it now needs more light to continue growing successfully.’ For bookings and more details on venue ring Janet Townsend on 02 6677 9326.

could destroy the Tamar valley’s great natural beauty and resources, as well as the economy they currently support. Simeon’s campaign does not just oppose the mill, but offers a positive alternative. He is working to raise funds to establish a Round Table which will bring business and the community together to develop a sustainable vision for Tamar Valley. I caught up with Simeon in Merimbula, 500kms from Sydney, and a quarter way through his trip. Simeon describes the coastline as

‘spectacular’ and says he has just begun to acclimatise to the strain of paddling – four to nine hours averaging 40km per day. Nature has also lent a helping hand by delivering 20-30 knot tailwinds on several days, and ‘just enough swell to keep it interesting’. So far Simeon has raised over $12,500 towards his target of $100,000. Prominent Byron Shire residents have donated generously towards the cause, while others have given support in many other ways.

Simeon thanks all those who have supported the trip so far, and hopes that he will continue to receive strong backing from his ‘home town’ to raise the remaining funds. Those who wish to find out more and donate to the cause can sponsor him $50 per kilometre through his website www.paddlewithsim. com or email simeon. michaels@bigpond.com. His next 500km takes him through the Nadgee Wilderness, Green Cape and 90 Mile Beach to Wilson’s Promontory

NRMA audits the worst of the highway Sunday January 21, 2007: Sixteen years after State Coroner Kevin Waller called for the Pacific Highway to be fully upgraded almost two thirds has yet to be completed, according to an audit conducted by NRMA Motoring & Services. NRMA Motoring & Services Director, Wendy Machin, said that while progress to upgrade the highway had improved, 442 kms of the 680kms from Hexham near Newcastle to the Queensland border was yet to be upgraded. ‘Sixteen years after 55 people tragically lost their lives in a fatal crash on the Pacific Highway, 40% (227km) of the road is still only one-lane in each direction without safe overtaking opportunities – that’s not good enough,�’ Ms Machin said. ‘Both the federal and state governments have upped their spending on the highway and we have seen some progress but we have a long way to go yet. Over the last three years only 2% of the highway has been upgraded to four lane divided carriageway and the section between Hexham and Karuah is the only part that has been fully upgraded.

This is one of Australia’s most critical roads and it is incomprehensible that so much of it is still not up to an acceptable standard.’ The NRMA audit found that the crash rate on the Pacific Highway has increased since the last NRMA audit in 2003 from 26.91 per 100 million vehicle kilometres of travel (100MVKT) to 27.8 100MVKT with 15.8% of crashes involving heavy vehicles. In the same time frame the fatality rate has increased from 1.23 per 100MVKT to 1.3 per 100MVKT. Over the last three years 120 people have lost their lives on the Pacific Highway and there have been 1,772 casualties. ‘Every state and federal election candidate running in seats along the Pacific Highway should have these harrowing statistics etched in their memories,’ Ms Machin said. ‘The sooner we complete the upgrade of the Pacific Highway the faster we will begin saving lives.’ The audit identified a total of 32 blackspots and 191 black lengths from three years of crash data. The top

five black lengths along the Pacific Highway were the sites of 510 crashes, with 14 fatal crashes and 268 injury crashes as follows: • through Banora Point (127 crashes, 2 fatalities, 61 injuries); • through Ballina (121 crashes, 4 fatalities, 70 injuries); • through Coffs Harbour (107 crashes, 1 fatality, 65 injuries); • through Ewingsdale (91 crashes, 4 fatalities, 47 injuries); and • through Ocean Shores and Brunswick Heads (64 crashes, 3 fatalities, 25 injuries). The NRMA audit also found that traffic volumes along the Pacific Highway increased in all areas. The largest volumes were at both ends of the route, with Hexham and Terranora now carrying about 40,000 vehicles per day. Heavy vehicle use along the Pacific Highway increased significantly with the number of B-doubles rising 400 per cent near Nabiac, partly due to trucks now using upgraded sections of the Pacific Highway instead of the New England Highway.

The areas that saw the greatest increase in traffic volume were: • Chinderah (79 per cent) • Byron Bay (74 per cent) • Coffs Harbour (43 per cent) ‘The further we get in upgrading the Pacific Highway to divided dual-carriageway the more popular it will be for motorists, which is great news for local businesses and tourism in the area,’ Ms Machin said. ‘The audit also found that almost all of the towns along the highway registered daily traffic volumes in excess of 10,000 vehicles. In accordance with industry standards that justifies a full upgrade of the highway to divided dual-carriageway.’ Other findings from the audit include: • 65 per cent of the route is signposted at 100km/hr; • the speed limit changes 100 times between Hexham and the Queensland border (one change every 6.8 kilometres); • overtaking is not permitted for 44 per cent of the route (300km); and • The number of speed camera sites has doubled to 16.

Preview for A Hard Rain at Byron Bay film festival Filmmaker David Bradbury will present his documentary on nuclear power – A Hard Rain – at a sneak ‘work-in-progress’ Q&A screening at the Byron Bay Film festival on February l2. ‘Everybody knows about global warming‌ and I thought everybody knew about the dangers of nuclear power. Yet here again three decades later after we thought we’d laid the nuclear monster to rest, the Dark Lord raises its head yet again,’ says Bradbury. When Prime Minister John Howard came back from the United States in 2006 a sudden convert to nuclear power, alarm bells began ringing for Bradbury. ‘I knew it wasn’t as simple as the Prime Minister presented it: that going nuclear would be the silver bullet to “fixâ€? global warming. My instincts were telling me there must be a hidden agenda.’ The filmmaker’s disquiet mounted as a string of government selected committees came up with a scientific greenwash for nuclear power. And the mass media played along. Bradbury said that one of the driving motivations for

mentary, the subject matter was far too important for Bradbury to leave the story untold. ‘I came up with some very chilling evidence against going nuclear and interviewed world authorities mounting a convincing case for not going nuclear,’ Bradbury said. ‘I think those of us who are unhappy with the greenwash that’s been applied here to the dangers of nuclear power will take heart by watching this film.’ It started off as a com-

making the film is his children. ‘I’ve got four kids, so naturally I’m worried about the world they and all our children are going to inherit,’ he said. He applied for funding to make the documentary. ‘I got knockbacks from the TV stations and government funding bodies. So I grabbed my credit card, dusted down the ole camera, kissed the kids goodbye and headed off

around the world yet again to slay a few dragons,’ he said. Bradbury says he can’t pretend to be unbiased about it. ‘I’ve made three major documentaries that expose the downside of radiation and nuclear power – but in making the round the world trip I wanted to find out for myself what if anything has changed in the nuclear debate.’

munity project and it looks like the only way the film is going to get finished, to make its mark in the nuclear debate, is for the community to continue owning it – and see that it gets finished. Bradbury wants to get the film into the hands of the ALP before their national conference in April, when the party will discuss what position they will take in the nuclear debate.

Half way round the world, running out of money with a mounting credit card debt, the community read an article in The Echo about Bradbury’s assignment. Over $30,000 was donated for the filmmaker to continue. Although this is a desperately low budget for a docu-

See if you own some of the lost super billions According to the friendly folk at the Australian Taxation Office: ‘With $9.7 billion of lost superannuation lying in Australian funds, you’d think people would be lining up to claim their share but, despite easy ways to track it down, the amount of money in lost super accounts is steadily growing. ‘Accounts become lost when the superannuation fund loses contact with the individual account holder.

This can happen when individuals change jobs or move house without advising their superannuation fund. ‘While superannuation funds try to contact their lost account holders, they aren’t always successful. ‘You don’t have to wait for a fund to find you. ‘You can find missing super by searching the Lost Members Register (LMR) which holds details of lost superannuation accounts, including

the name of the superannuation fund that reported the account as lost. ‘The Tax Office has two automated services that can be used to search the LMR and other Tax Office records for lost super. ‘So, if you think you may have lost track of some of your super, there are two easy ways you can search: ‘1. Conduct a free online search using SuperSeeker which is available at www.

ato.gov.au/super. ‘You will need to provide your name, date of birth and tax file number to start your search. ‘2. Phone the SuperSeeker self-help phone service on 13 28 65. Follow the prompts to enter your tax file number and date of birth. Have a pen and paper ready. ‘SuperSeeker is available right now to help you find and claim your share of the lost $9.7 billion.’

Television Guide 1. A few local women whose ageing Lotharios have gone off with lasses young enough to be their daughters will appreciate the premise of First Wives Club (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm), played with gusto by Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Bette Midler. 2. Robert Redford has one of his better, later outings with Brad Pitt in Spy Game (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm) – not exactly Richard Burton in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, but not bad. 3. Decadent night owls have a feast ahead of them on Sunday on ABC, beginning with Kitty and Nan in the 1890s lesbian drama Tipping The Velvet at 11.50pm, followed by two excellent B&W B-graders, Curse Of The Cat People and Black Orchid. Mrreeowwww!!

Soothing the savage tomato Judy explores the world of spas Hans Lovejoy & Chryss Carr Just outside Mullumbimby, a greenhouse the size of a small aeroplane hangar is serenading classical music to a healthy tomato crop. Byron Bay Green Effect’s David D’Vash has based the company’s philosophy on providing plants with the best possible environment in which to grow, and believes all plants – especially the ones we eat – should be cultivated to the sound-energy of classical music. ‘We are what we eat, but remember also, what we eat is what we are; and what we are by large is a matter of choice,’ D’Vash told The Echo. ‘Food converting to energy in our bodies is not a choice, however the source of it is. ‘Plants are sentient beings in my opinion, some researchers have proven it; take into account the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto whose work with classical music and water crystals is now well known. The plants absolutely respond to sound vibrations; hence, they must absorb the sound into them and just as they do with the sunlight, the water and the nutrients they convert it somehow to the energy that makes them what they are. ‘As a matter of fact, when you eat our tomato you are biting into various energies including beautiful soundenergy that has been converted into a substance in the form of tomato. We believe that sound has never tasted so sweet.’ Australian native bees also assist in pollinating the tomatoes. ‘We have a native bee hive within the enclosure that provides a natural pollination process; we don’t use

Upper Main Arm girl made good, Judy Chapman has created a successful career writing about the health industry. Her latest book, Ultimate Spa, is a reflection on the past five years she has spent exploring healing spas and retreats around South East Asia, interviewing Ayurvedic doctors and tracing the origins of treatments and eastern medicine systems.

Images by noted photographer Luca Tetttoni (www. tettoni.com) illustrate the book. Judy was previously the Editor-in-Chief for Spa Asia magazine and spent several years travelling to spas, from Maldives to Sri Lanka, China to Serbia. See her website at www.judychapman.biz. Ultimate Spa is on sale locally at Pure Byron and Book City, Byron Bay.

industrial methods like hitting the plants [so the pollen drops] or using an air-blower. Every natural alternative is explored,’ D’Vash says. The company goes to great lengths to ensure their crop is well nurtured in a tightly controlled and clean environment, according to D’Vash. ‘We use cutting edge technologies in irrigation, ventilation, lighting and temperature control.’ Musician Amir Paiss created the classical playlist, and on high rotation are Indian ragas and European symphonies. The 12 tone Western and 24 tone Eastern harmonic series ensure a complete world music diet, according to Paiss. ‘Chopin, Mozart, Bartok, Alberniz and Ali Akbar

Khan are just some of the music that is played throughout the day,’ Amir Paiss told The Echo. Said to taste sweeter than other tomatoes, the company’s 6000 tomato bushes are expected to yield about 120 tonnes [120,000] of vinegrown tomatoes this year. The first batch will be delivered to stores locally and nationally in February. ‘This is the first time a food product has gone to market based on the fact that music makes food taste better,’ claims D’Vash. ‘At the end of the day it’s all in the tasting and quite frankly our tomatoes are not only the most cared for and civilised tomatoes in the market, but they taste sweeter.’

Joint scheme on companion housing Older people living alone who want to remain in their homes longer – but just need a little bit of extra support – will benefit from a joint scheme between Southern Cross University and DAISI (the Lismore-based Disability & Aged Information Service Inc). Southern Cross University has signed off on an undertaking to work in partnership to match older citizens with live-in student helpers under DAISI’s Companion Housing Project. Under the innovative pilot project, carefully screened and selected individuals will be matched to provide a win-win solution to meet the needs of both groups. Carl Rallings, Southern Cross University Group Director, Student Services, said similar home sharing programs operate in many

Ultimate Spa tells of the history of the Asian spa and as well gives first time spagoers an understanding of the difference between a Shiatsu and a Balinese massage. According to Judy, spas today are far more than a place for pampering. Like the universities for wellness, they offer a space of nurture and sanctuary where people can learn how to rejuvenate and return to balance.

countries and in other parts of Australia. These have demonstrated that the companionship of these arrangements increase feelings of security and connection to the community for both parties. A big problem facing many independent and healthy older citizens, who would love to remain in their own homes for as long as possible before entering institutionalised care, is that they might need some help with things like household jobs, shopping, gardening, or meal preparation to make their life a little easier, said Companion Housing Project Coordinator Virginia Clarke. ‘Even just having some occasional companionship or the security of having someone around at night can make a big difference to staying longer in your own home,’

Keep your eye on the algae Residents across the north coast region are urged to be on the alert for blue-green algae and to report any suspected blooms to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR.) Algae scums are most often blue-green or green, but can also be white, brown, blue, yellow-brown or red. ‘Blue-green algae scums can vary from thick paintlike accumulations at water surfaces to small green floating dots or general discoloration of the water, and are generally associated with a strong musty or earthy odour,’ said Regional Algal Coordinating Committee co-ordinator Brian Dodd.

‘There are three levels of alerts used to report potentially toxic blue-green algae presence: green, amber and red. A Green Level Warning indicates that low levels of blue-green algae have been detected and monitoring will continue to ensure any increases in the blue-green algal population are identified. ‘An Amber Level Warning indicates that medium levels of blue-green algae have been detected and scums may occur under calm conditions. Further surveillance is required so that contingencies can be implemented in the event that the bloom develops further.

‘A Red Level Warning indicates that waters are unsuitable for recreational use and may also pose a threat to stock and domestic users. ‘Public warnings are issued at a red alert level.’ Mr Dodd said people should not drink untreated water and not enter the water where algae are present because of the risk of eye and skin irritations and stomach upsets. ‘Boiling the water does not inactivate algal toxins.’ Information updates about the status of blue-green algae are available from DNR’s freecall Algal Information Hotline on 1800 999 457.

she said. ‘Moving into care before it is desired or medically necessary is not what most older people want. Also, there are already long waiting lists at the region’s nursing and retirement homes and it is difficult to find places even for those in desperate need.’ All participants in the project are interviewed in depth and students are security screened. Each match is carefully selected and Virginia is available for ongoing support to ensure the match runs smoothly. Anyone who is interested in finding out about this new service or participating in a trial to see if this kind of arrangement would suit them can find all the information on the web site www.daisi.asn.au or can contact Virginia on 1800 Some charming looking algae washed up on Belongil Beach recently.

When people have been together for a very long time, you find they start to do things like finish each other’s sentences. That’s how it is for musical/comedy act The Scared Weird Little Guys. I did a phone interview with John Chaplin-Flemming and Rusty Berther and they were so in sync, so used to quickly cutting in on each other, adding, subtracting and qualifying that I was dizzy. In fact, by the end of our chat I couldn’t tell who said what, but I gave it a damn good shot. It was a bit like chatting with B1 and B2, it was a very scary, weird little experience. The boys are very excited about coming to Bangalow. In fact John was here just recently: ‘I was in Bangalow last October, and I mentioned that I was coming to perform at the Big Joke Comedy Festival and the person laughed and said, yeah, there’s a new festival every 2 weeks...’ The Scaredies are prolific writers. Every week they come up with a new song for their live spot on Triple M in Melbourne. ‘It has to be something topical, like Snakes on a Plane, or Mel Gibson. We have done some really good ones, and no doubt you’ll be hearing them at the show in Bangalow, we did a song for the yellow Wiggle to the Yellow Submarine: singing Who’s wearing the yellow skivvy now?’ With two brains proving that two heads really are better than one, both Rusty and John are constantly aware of cultural trends, and public faux pas – you could say they have two hands on the pop culture pulse. They won an ARIA in 2004 for their CD Bits and Pieces and rightly so. Their songs are pure genius. Shane Warne gets his serve with Sex and Drugs and Leg Spin Bowl, and there’s an underwear song that’s downright prophetic. According to the Scaredies, if you are in the public eye, it is imperative that you launch your own underwear line – it’s hysterical. The Scared Weird Little Guys

satirise our sense of what it means to be ‘Australian’ . There’s the classic anthem; ‘Am I ever going to see your face again?’ done to the tune of Advance Australia Fair. With their shows taking them to Canada and the States, the boys have developed a world class repertoire that sees them able to reach virtually anyone, anywhere. ‘The bulk of our material travels everywhere – most of it translates very well and we do a lot of musical tricks, two guys playing the same guitar at the same time and we love little tricks. We do a trick called stump the Scaredies, where the audience shouts out songs. We do one song to another – like Old McDonald had a farm to Nirvana’s Smells like Teen Spirit.’ In fact their ability to accurately play a huge range of songs on the spot is part of their appeal. It’s incredible. Rusty credits his mate: ‘John on guitar is a human jukebox. His ear is so developed he can give anything a go. It’s amazing how it’s always the same half a dozen songs though – House of the Rising Sun, Smoke on the Water‌ the key is to know the lyrics and the melody. Although you can’t really go wrong with that act. As much as the audience want to see you do well I think they prefer to see us fail. There is a large improvisational side to our show, around the scripting and the songs, we have the opportunity to really relate and have fun with the audience. There’s always the guy in the front‌ who becomes a bit part of the show.’ The Scared Weird Little Guys, Aria award winners, and cult figures in Melbourne – the Comedy Capital. Get a taste of what they get at the International Comedy Festivals when the Scaredies perform at the Bangalow A&I Hall on Sunday 11 February at 7pm.

My mum was a sole parent. It was tough, she only had me for emotional support, but there’s only so long a 6 year old can listen to you share your feelings before they say: ‘can I eat my Cornflakes now?’ The family is no longer just Mum, Dad and the kids. Sometimes it’s Mum and her girlfriend ‘other mother’ and Dad and his new girlfriend and new stepbrother plus baby half sister. Sometimes it’s biological Dad, Dad who lives with you, and Dad who brought you up with Mum and 5 half brothers, and sometimes it’s just one parent, Mum, or Dad, battling away on their own.

I was a single parent for a very short time. Hardly enough to earn my stripes really, although I did decide to proceed with a pregnancy 2 weeks after the demise of the relationship with my daughter’s father. Against popular advice, I decided to do it on my own. It was totally different to the decision you make with a loving partner. Having a baby as a single woman is very confronting. There’s no-one to rub your feet, no-one to make you toast and no-one to inflict your hormones on. Pregnancy just isn’t as enjoyable if there isn’t a partner to torture with your fluctuating emotions.

Besides that, I’m still scared of the dark and it was hard to convince my four year old to go fetch me snacks in the night. There’s also a stigma attached to being a single parent. No-one ever says it, but I was intensely aware that I had failed. I’d failed at creating a Mum and Dad family unit for my kids and I’d failed as a woman to secure a partner. No-one ever says it, but they don’t need to. The internal critic has a pretty powerful monologue: ‘Well you really fucked that one up’. As far as attracting men, I found the phrase: ‘I’m a single parent pensioner’ more effective than a nude

VIOLENT FEMMES The grandfathers of folk punk – The Violent Femmes – will be playing the Backroom in Byron this Tuesday. As the calcified fossils of teen angst and the sonic personification of anxiety, the trio from Milwaukee, USA have been hard at it for years and have recently headlined The Big Day Out. The band was founded in 1980 by Brian Ritchie and Victor DeLorenzo after an epiphany whereupon various deities showed Ritchie the name ‘Violent Femmes’ written in the sky (or at least in Ritchie’s head). The lads needed a band worthy of the name. They never got it, but they did eventually find teenage singer-songwritertennis player Gordon Gano

COME UP TO MY LAB See what’s on the slab with Labjacd at the Beach Hotel on Sunday. They found their feet when they took the Woodford Festival by storm just over 12 months ago with their unusual blend of latin, funk and hip hop. Time Off Magazine described them as ‘The Band’ and since then they have toured internationally, debuted at Womadelaide and played alongside some of the best hip hop acts in the country: The herd, True Live and Cuba’s Los Van Van.

BRANAN AND SHIVALA ARE IN THE HOUSE Goolara Court continue their House concerts with a Thursday performance by Branan and Shivala who will be giving a Dhrupad vocal recital in the traditional manner. Dhrupad is the original raga music so revered in the royal courts of India, from the Middle Ages onwards. It suffered near extinction last century, but is experiencing a strong revival. It is a spacious, profound and completely improvised style adhering to the pure melodic principles of the raga. It springs from yogic philosophy, and is saturated with a tangible mood of meditative silence. 7.45pm at 6 Goolara Court in Ocean Shores. Also featuring Tarshito on guitar and Paul Kimmel on flute.

INSTITUTIONALISED The Rails is the only venue in the area that has live music seven nights a week. For over twenty years it has been an institution and there’s plenty on again this week. Chris Aronsten on Wednesday, Moving On Up on Thursday, The Hoochers on Friday, Invisible Friend Saturday, Hillbilly Blues Bandits Sunday, Leigh James Monday and Harry Healy on Tuesday.

around it. So many electronic musicians these days are musically tied to their drum machines. Once you start a loop or drum track then you are tied to a computer metronome – the music can’t slow down or speed up or have a particular groove other than ‘tick tock tick tock’. That’s part of the reason Afro-cuban reggae afro-beat and funk music styles are so wicked to dance to. The drummer is a person and it’s the rhythm of other human beings that are the most danceable. ‘I’ve played gigs with a drum machine playing all the beats and it gets so boring to play – the drum machine just doesn’t listen to you or the crowd. Maybe that’s why so many people

get off their heads at dance parties – cause that’s the only way to get in to the music.’ Cyberbass are free every Friday night at the Buddha Bar.

LOVE YOUSSEF Cross a bridge of culture, time, traditions, music and mysticism to a place where ancient Arabic musical traditions meld with contemporary jazz, rock and electronica. Inspirational vocalist and master oud player Dhafer Youssef has established himself as one of the most extraordinary and exciting artists working in contemporary music. In his first Australian appearance, Dhafer will be joined by tabla master Jatinder Thakur,

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT BARRY For nearly two years Barry Hill’s (bassist from The Bird) side project – The Cyberbass Electronic Music Project has zapped the Buddha Bar with the latest craziest and weirdest live electro dance music this side of Melbourne. He’s featured musicians, DJs and laptop geeks from all over the world. Cyberbass is into playing electronic music the same way jazz musicians do – take a basic melodic idea and a beat and improvise

and the soul stirring Divine Shadows String Quartet. Tunisian born-Europe based Dhafer brings together the sonic echoes of his middle eastern roots with the western cool of Norway’s nu jazz. Dhafer draws on the Islamic Sufi roots of his homeland, Tunisia, and translates these into electronic lounge vibes and jazzy improvisations with cutting-edge loops and ambient sounds.The result is modern experimental music that is at once spiritual and reflective as well as passionate and exhilarating. Whilst his hypnotic music alone is enough to entrance an audience, Dhafer also has an otherworldly voice that is itself a unique instrument. Starting as a low, husky rumble and growing into a perfect upper-register operatic note, you will find yourself stunned by his control and clarity. Even without a microphone, this man can unleash a pure acoustic projection that is truly awe-inspiring. Dhafer plays the Byron Community Centre on Thursday 8 February. Tix are $39 and available by phoning 6685 5659.

SIKA AND YOU WILL FIND Caitlin and Sika are a musical duo from New Zealand, internationally popular for their dynamic Earth music which fuses a diverse range of both ethnic and modern instruments. ‘Our music has a Celtic flavour – East meets West with a spark of spirit and dance.’ Sika’s exceptional didj playing electrifies the stage as he dances while playing; on a continent of so many virtuoso players his talent stands out. The pair are returning to Byron Bay for a one-off concert at the Community Centre on Saturday. The pair met while performing at the famous Glastonbury Festival in Britain, and currently have 9 albums both together and individually. Caitlin’s latest album, Shiva’s Dance, has just been released. ‘Shiva’s Dance is the second of my sacred mantra albums; powerful chants sung in the ancient language of Sanskrit. For many centuries people in India have practiced these chants as a way of relaxing and reconnecting to their higher consciousness.’ The pair live an actively eco-friendly lifestyle, and their ethics inspire their music; their concerts are a refreshingly life-affirming oasis!

THE ALPHABET OF THINGS THAT GET ON YOUR GOAT Don’t people who put toilet rolls on the wrong way get on your goat! The under and back method is unhygienic -everyone has to touch the wall to grab the paper with their dirty fingers and it is more difficult to find the start of the sheet. The over and front method is far superior, the tissue does not sit against the wall, it’s easier to grab, easier to find the start, and for those men who prefer to be hygienic, easier for them to get while standing up. And don’t start us on about people who use the last of the toilet tissue and don’t replace the roll!

The legendary Mad Professor mixed the LP in his London studio, plus there’s collaborations with the likes of Kar’melody, CC Martini, Queen Khadeeja, Demilition B-Girl (Ladies Love Hip Hop), Valerie M (a Groove Armada and Freestylers collaborator).

OLIVER LANG Oliver Lang has been described as the ‘the future hero of house’ by Erick Morillo. He started playing in clubs at 14, had a record released at 16 and at 18 he had already packed up and moved to Ibiza. His recent claims to fame include; residencies at legendary Ibiza spot Bora Bora, Dusted (London and Ibiza) and Plush (in his hometown Manchester), playing at places like Beijing and Dubai, spinning at the Berlin Love Parade to a million people and playing Radio 1’s One Big Weekend with Fatboy Slim.

I do a lot more tricks and live edits in my sets than ever before and my understanding of the crowd and music is more honed than ever.’ Check him out when Oliver Lang plays at La La Land this Friday with support from Ryan Rushton.

This week’s birthday Aquarian Franklin Roosevelt wrote on the day before he died: The work, my friends, is peace. More than an end of this war – an end to the beginnings of all wars. It’s also the week the Vietnam War ceasefire was signed – use it to negotiate a truce, somewhere, with someone… ARIES: If something’s just not working, trying to force it will only make the situation worse. As this week’s birthday wit W.C. Fields succinctly put it: If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it. TAURUS: Don’t let this week’s inconsistencies and eccentricities upset you because this is an exciting time to make major advances and some of its wild ideas are definitely worth experimenting with. Watch out for interesting new solutions to long standing problems. GEMINI: If something isn’t working you’ll be inclined to drop it and move on to something else. But be aware of any stressful repercussions

this might have on others who aren’t such fast adapters as you. Keep emotional communications open. CANCER: This week’s likely to offer an invitation to sacrifice your principles, justified with rational arguments and convincing rhetoric. If something seems questionable to you, question it. And keep going till you get answers – though they may not be the ones you want. LEO: If a put down or something personally hurtful gets your whiskers in a snit take a step back, don’t speak in anger, cool down and think it through. Leave space for negotiating, because this week’s twists, turns and disappointments quickly reverse themselves. VIRGO: This is the week Katmandu-dwellers honor divine Sarasvati, the wisdom principle. Let her guide you to approach this week the smart way – by not being dependent on what others think or locked into meeting their expectations. Your own either, for that matter.

LIBRA: This week’s upside is sociable and entertaining – its flip side’s excessive, headstrong and upsetting. People are sending mixed messages: saying one thing, thinking another and doing something else again. Don’t even try to make sense of it – do your own thing. SCORPIO: People’s personal peculiarities are peaking this week, but that’s no reason to let their hanky panky make you cranky. Read between the lines, don’t rely on promises and let things slide awhile rather than forcing confrontations or showdowns. SAGITTARIUS: No one could forecast how this week’s mood-swinging mob will behave, so it’s worthwhile monitoring those off the cuff comments. And also being wary of persuasive types who might be bending the truth or engaged in fancy footwork behind the scenes. CAPRICORN: Your down to earth, practical Capricorn skills in mediation and conflict resolution are likely to be called on this week. So give your elegant, eloquent and entertaining best – administer

with lilith reality checks and sound advice, bring people back to their senses. AQUARIUS: Like snakes shed their skin, we continually move on from our past. There’s no avoiding change, and it does get easier the more willing we are to dance with it. As old friends finally exit your orbit this week, new ones arrive... PISCES: Be as clear as possible about your needs, feelings and intentions this week – try not to be vague, imprecise, or give mixed messages, because it’s already one of those times where you say one thing and people hear something entirely different.

EPIC MOVIE

TANGSHAN TANGSHAN On the night of July 28, 1976, the city of Tangshan in northern China was struck by an earthquake. Over 240,000 people perished. This is the story of what became of Ma Su, who survived the catastrophe, her daughter, Xiao Yu, and the two boys who grew up in the care of the widowed woman and their ‘Uncle’ Ding. The boys were best friends, then separated, reunited and fated to compete for Xiao Yu’s heart. It’s an old fashioned family saga and, in covering the ensuing thirty years, director Kevin Chu employs every device and stylistic contrivance that he was taught at film school, even managing to squeeze in an odd reference to Kate and Leo at the bow of the Titanic. Visually reminiscent (particularly early on) of the poster art of China’s cultural revolution, it is sometimes like pastiche and is not served well by occasionally

clunky subtitles, but the passage of time is well marked and it maintains a strong sense of narrative and devotion to its subjects. Unpretentious, concerned primarily with how love can mend lives, the movie is greater than the sum of its parts, with flawless performances, especially from Hou Xiang Ling as the patient Ding, Han Wei as the mother and Zhang Jing as the young woman who must choose between two worthy suitors – Chu’s adherence to cinematic tradition had him seek out uncommonly beautiful leading ladies. Chu also strives for emotional impact and manages it with rare subtlety, due in no small part to the simplicity with which he tells the tale. The final scene is one of gentle surprise and I can’t remember the last time I was so affected by such sweetness. Tangshan Tangshan will have its world premiere at the Byron Bay Film Festival. You’d be mad to miss it. John Campbell

MISS POTTER ‘There’s something delicious about writing the first words of a story; you never know where they will take you. Mine took me here, where I belong.’ This bio-pic tells the sometimes surprising story of best-selling children’s book author Beatrix Potter, a strong woman with an artistic talent, a vivid imagination and an unwavering determination to follow her bliss. Helmed by Aussie Chris Noonan (Babe) after an 11-year hiatus from the director’s chair, the film features some wonderfully original animation, allowing Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck and Potter’s other creations to spring from the printed page. Potter is played with delightful eccentricity and much lippursing by an unflatteringly-lit Renee Zellweger. The story opens with the publishing of Peter Rabbit and is driven by Potter’s determination to prove that a 32-year-old woman in the early 1900s has more to offer the world than mere attendance at tea parties. She must overcome the plans that her domineering mother and the rest of society has for her in order to follow the fervent calling she feels to write and illustrate stories. The supporting cast is excellent with Ewan McGregor in a silly moustache and Emily Watson (Gosford Park) as Potter’s friend and confidante. It’s wholesome G-rated fun and definitely worth a look. Tristan Bancks

Marketing of mainstream cinema has become a fine art [sic] due to the stranglehold that has been taken on it by the profit imperative. Everybody falls into some demographic or other and every demographic is catered for, and rightly so. Kids have always provided a large target audience for producers, many of whom consistently release features of the highest quality. Now we see that there is an identified youth sub-group getting a look-in on their own terms; the dumb kids. This is an awful film. Meant to be a spoof along the lines drawn by the Date Movie and Scary Movie series, it is even worse than those lobotomised wastes of celluloid. What interest it provokes lies in spotting the flicks that it alludes to throughout, and the references are as subtle as a rat sandwich. Here the main one is Narnia, but there are also Nacho Libre, Da Vinci Code, X Men, Harry Potter, Pirates (with a passable impersonation of Depp’s Jack Sparrow) and plenty more. Tacky design, cheap sets and wardrobe, puerile tits’n’arse gags, mandatory blows to testicles and a uniquely unfunny fart joke all contribute to the grind of witless and coarse exploitation. As excruciating as any B-grade TV sketch show, the most remarkable thing about the whole thing is that so many professionals in the business were willing to put their names to it – then again, the roll of credits might be entirely fictitious. With a running time of ninety minutes, it is not quite as painful as the rack, but you should nevertheless take into account that this is an hour and a half of your life that you will never get back and, to be blunt, the trade is nowhere near worth it. John Campbell

HAPPY FEET Happy Feet directed by George Miller (of Babe fame) is a masterpiece of animation with a toe-tapping contemporary soundtrack and a powerful environmental message. Set in Antarctica, “Happy Feet� follows a tribe of emperor penguins who rely on their singing voices to find a soulmate. But for young Mumble (Elijah Wood), his dream of snaring a partner may never come to fruition – he can’t sing a note. Yet Mumble possesses

The dancers for the dance sequences not only had to wear motion capture sensor suits for their movement, but also had to wear special headgear to simulate the penguins’ beaks to force them to accommodate the anatomical feature for their characters’ dancing. Happy Feet

a skill that the other penguins haven’t seen before – he can tap dance, and his unique ability makes him an outcast in the community. Forced away from his peers, Mumble seeks solace in a posse of different penguins, the Adelie Amigos, who embrace his cool dance moves. But Miller isn’t afraid to go to dark places with the story, and the film’s second half is surprisingly emotional. There is a tremendously important message about environmental conservation and animal protection that is done with just enough subtlety to make audiences think about the issues long after the credits have rolled. Fantastic movie with a good moral and environmental message about caring for all things great and small, and how the power of change lies with us - and our decisions affect every living thing.

Nuts for Life is a health information program funded by Australian tree nut growers, importers, packers and processors, with support through Horticulture Australia Limited. You can see their website, which offers recipes and fact sheets on nuts and health, at www. nutsforlife.com.au. According to Nuts for Life, Australians are increasingly going nuts about nuts. While the exact figures are something of a hard nut to crack, taking nut production volumes of nearly 40 million tonnes last year and dividing it by just shy of 20 million Australians, it’s easy to figure that each one of us is probably eating about two kilograms of nuts every year. On the face of it, this is a significant change from the findings of the last National Nutrition Survey, conducted in 1995. The conclusion at that time was that adult Australians were eating less than 1.5 kilograms of nuts a year. Nuts for Life Program Manager and Dietitian, Lisa Yates, says more nuts in the diets of Australians is good news all round.

Tree nuts are an excellent source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats – the good fats – which can help manage cholesterol. They also contain Vitamin E, antioxidants, folate, arginine and plant sterols which can contribute to greater wellbeing. ‘So, it’s easy to understand why the Australia’s Dietary Guidelines say quite clearly: Legumes, nuts and certain seeds, along with other plant foods, have been shown to offer specific health benefits and their inclusion in the diet is recommended for everyone,’ Ms Yates said.

‘And it’s very good news because the science tells us that nuts provide a unique package of essential nutrients with a range of health benefits including heart health and weight management.’

‘More and more Australians are making the shift to what we now know as the Mediterranean Diet which is characterised by broad consumption of cereals, legumes, vegetables and nuts, with olive oil as the traditional added fat for cooking,’ she said.

‘It’s good news because Australians are exploring and experimenting with more food varieties and options than they were 12 years ago at the time of the last National Nutrition Survey, and a greater variety of nuts means nuts can have a place in every meal occasion, as well as for healthy snacking.

Ms Yates said the shift in nut consumption was bringing Australia more in line with Southern Europe, where nuts are a common feature of the habitual diet.

The tiny new vegetarian eatery Vegasm – cute name – is tucked away from Jonson Street’s passage out of Byron Bay and a location easily missed. They have a menu as tiny: a blackboard listing five or six items designed, it appears, to appeal to all, so on the night we visited there was lasagna, curry, nachos, pies and pizza, everything appropriately meatless. In post-Rails pizza moods we chose the latter, and brought it back home with us to eat there. The topping was a big-flavoured tumble of roast vegetables but it was the base we loved best: a base of spelt, crispily thin and fabulously crunchy. More than the mere enjoyment of it, however, the experience brought back to my mind this particular ingredient – spelt – and my initial encounter with it. Italy – mid-nineties – when it was all the rage. In the restaurant where I was working we served it two ways: one as a soup and another as a salad with finely sliced porcini and the shavings of fresh black truffles. Spelt – farro in Italian – is one of the world’s oldest grains, and its revival in the nineties owed as much to the nostalgic desire to return to traditional regional dishes and peasant fare (‘la cucina povera’) as it did to an increased understanding of nutrition, allergies and the values of food. This grain is a rich source of vitamins A,B,C and E, of mineral salts, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and magnesium; it has a very high level of both silenium and phytic acid which renders it a powerful antioxidant. In the wild hilly soil of the Garfagnana region in Tuscany it thrives where all else fails; the consumption of it is exceedingly high and the inhabitants, it is claimed, have a longer life expectancy, a more vigorous sex life and are taller and more slender than the rest of the country’s population! It was the precursor of durum wheat and the Italian word for flour, ‘farina’, is derived from its name. High in protein with a nutty, wheat-like flavour, it is alleged that, as it constituted the bulk of the diet of the Roman legions, it could be attributed to their conquering of the world. Hyperbole aside, it is a fascinating ingredient which is worth pursuing and playing around with. Because it became fashionable, and because it provides all those gluten-intolerant sufferers another means of enjoying grain-based foods like bread, pasta and pizza, it is no longer considered obscure or exotic; spelt loaves are available in most respectable outlets (and I especially love the Sol multigrain version), you can buy the flour and you can buy the actual grains. Prolonged soaking after a thorough wash is the first step; after about eight hours the grains are ready to be incorporated into whatever recipe is being used. There are actually not terribly many ways with spelt. Part of my research utilised a slim volume entitled ‘Il Farro e le sue Ricette’ (Spelt and its Recipes) and its author, Luciano Mignolli, apologises in its conclusion for the paucity of offerings. And yet it is a superb substitute for pasta or rice, burghul or pulses - even for bread in Tuscan-style salads like Panzanella. In soups it provides texture and thickness; in a salad just the sort of nutty chewy ‘connective tissue’, as I like to think of it, to hold all the other elements together. There is a gorgeous summery salad which incorporates soaked-then-simmered spelt with steamed, tender rings of calamari, baby rocket and quartered cherry tomatoes all tossed through a dressing of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. All I can recall of the salad we made at ‘La Cantinetta’ were the translucent orbs of creamy white porcini mushrooms worked gently through the fat chewy spelt grains and that final triumph of truffles – there must have been other ingredients. I do, however, remember the soup I made for as long as we kept it on our specials board: the customary base of chopped onion, celery and carrot softened in olive oil with a prosciutto bone then peeled tomatoes added and simmered together, that glorious symphony, cooked cannellini or borlotti beans tipped in then finally the soaked spelt, and the whole luscious richness simmered for about forty minutes, seasoned then served. Prosciutto bone removed, beans pureed if desired – then the whole gluten-free thing ruined by dunking a sturdy, wheaty chunk of bread into that beautiful brew!

Sports Roundup with John Campbell Colt on the rise

Openings for netball coaches North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) is seeking a head coach, an assistant coach, a manager and two apprentice coaches for its high profile netball program. After more than 10 years involvement with NCAS netball, Tracey Robinson has resigned her position to take up the role of Netball Program Head Coach at the Tasmanian Institute of Sport. ‘We’re delighted that

Tracey has secured such a high profile position,’ said executive director, Tony Clarke. ‘Her appointment reinforces the fact that regionally based coaches can develop the skills to go on to elite coaching.’ The new vacancies provide a great opportunity work with the some of the region’s best coaches and sub-elite junior netballers. Applications for all positions close on Friday 9th February 2007.

Players needed for Byron Bay Rugby

Simon Milenko bowling for Easts. Picture by Susie Milenko John Campbell It’s a long way from the baking ovals where the Easts Cricket team toil away in the North Coast League to the venues of the English Southern League. But that’s where Simon Milenko, 18, of Federal is headed in April, when he travels to England to play a season with Hambledon CC (founded in 1750). Before he packs his bags though, there is first the little matter of doing his stuff with NSW Country Colts. Simon has been chosen from the team, his highest rep honour to date, after impressing for Northern NSW in trials and will now be tested against a NSW High Performance XI in Sydney from Feb 6-8.

A fast bowling all-rounder, he is in his second year of grade, making the transition from the ranks at Trinity College, from where he won a spot in the NSW Schoolboys side of 2006. He completed last year’s HSC and, when he returns from England, hopes to study business at university on the Gold Coast. From there, if all goes according to plan, Simon will commute to Brisbane and play in the city’s tough district competition. The next step is recognition by state selectors and his dream, like any young cricketer’s, is to earn a baggy green cap – in Simon’s case it might not be an impossible one.

Byron Rugby hit the sands last week to commence their pre-season training. Given the hot conditions, the coaches were well pleased by an excellent turn out for both men’s and women’s teams. Despite the good attendance, more players are always required and anyone with even a passing interest in rugby is invited to join the club. Sessions are currently being held at 6pm below the surf club at Byron Bay, with

Crankin

training moving to the Rec Fields as the weather cools. The women’s team, after their great debut last year, are looking for more players to bolster their numbers as they plan to expand from seven-a-side rugby to full fifteens. With several Brisbane and NSW country women’s sides invited to Byron to play this year, the women’s team looks set to become a strong element of the club. For further information, call Matt on 0431 024 771

Brunswick Boardriders

A very good year for pony riders

Caitlin Richtor with Blaze. Picture by Paul Smith Photography

Carol Malu-Folau Mullumbimby Pony Club has grown tremendously. An average of 32 young riders and their parents attend each practice day, with everyone having lots of fun, building new friendships and learning about their horses and each other. Highlights of ‘06 were the Easter and End of Year camps, with activities including the mystery trail ride, mounted games, novelty races and campdrafting. The club also held its first ever Funkhana to educate new riders about competitions and fair play. It was a great success, with guest judges and everybody working together for a great time with our kids. During the year, a number of our riders competed successfully at gymkhanas, oneday events and championships. Many won ribbons, but all enjoyed representing the club and learning to value the skills and rewards associated with working in harmony with their ponies. Anyone interested in horses and riding or in just wanting to be Gribble, C Johnston v M Hardy, Jeff Heers v S Moon. 5/2 Rnd 7 Byron Office Comp: Div 2 5pm I Bissett v C Walsh,; 5.30pm M Ottery v S Koop; 6pm M Cassidy v D Runciman, J Gribble Bye.

Funky Timber Yurt On 1½ Acres

Undulating 6.9 acres of land in Laverty’s Gap are for sale. The property has a number of good house sites. It has approximately 2 acres of flat land with a very pleasant rural outlook. Electricity and phone connections are within 50 metres of the house site and there is a proper bitumen access road to the site. Privacy is assured with no immediate neighbours close by. There is also a small dam and lot of space to create a fruit orchard, veggie gardens and there would be still plenty of space for a horse or two. Small acreages are hard to find so give us a call for an inspection.

This funky timber yurt is in a great location. 3 km outside Mullumbimby and 1 km from Steiner School. The yurt has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open plan kitchen/living area leading out onto a small deck overlooking an acre of flat land. There is an underground spring feeding a small dam and there is plenty of space to build another dwelling and use the yurt as a studio. There is work to be done but lots of trees have been planted and the place has a really nice feel to it. The owner has bought a large acreage and is keen to move. Call now and I will arrange an inspection for you.

Locals Dorothy and Bruce Macfarlane report: ‘We have been travelling around India for three months and we loved everything, except the pollution. However we noticed this sign at Kanniyakumari which is on the very tip of India in Tamil Nadu and not only were we amazed but it made us think of home, Byron Bay.’

An American movement which could be well emulated in Australia is the Campus Climate Challenge – http://climatechallenge.org. Schools and universities across the USA and Canada are getting involved and making it an international movement by posting their efforts to YouTube and Flickr. ■■■■APN’s newspaper titles are so interchangeable that last Friday some techie accidentally put the Tweed Daily

News news up on the Northern Star’s website. Why not just make it a multiple choice test and you can write the news yourself? ■■■■A local single woman advises other local women to log on to www.dontdatehimgirl. com to learn the craft of dealing with men from hell. She and a few friends also want to put a sign at the Mullum turnoff warning women which local men not to date. Any (printable)

response from local males? ■■■■David Lovejoy can’t help but get himself into trouble. As a sequel to his god rave, he reports back on a ayahuasca trip – see page 12. It certainly doesn’t appeal to we claretbotherers. As someone once said of ayahuasca, ‘Load universe, point at head, fire.’ ■■■■*Our strap (the little line below our logo on the front page, the content of which so frustrates our advertising manager) this week comes from the final blog post, written five days before his death this month, of philosopher and trickster Robert Anton Wilson, author of the cult fiction trilogy on the Illuminati. RAW writes: ‘Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I

look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don’t see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.’ See more at http://hostgator.rawilson. com/main.shtml ■■■■And speaking of the counterculture, Dr Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD, turned 101 on January 11, which just goes to show how bad drugs can be for you. See more at www.erowid.org/culture/characters/hofmann_ alber t/hofmann_alber t. shtml. ■■■■The Prime Minister said yesterday, ‘I’ve just discovered that water is fundamental for sustaining life, and I’m all for sustaining life as long as there’s a reasonable return per annum. I’ll get my richest minister onto it.’

A reader reports: ‘I work four shifts a week in a business on Jonson Street and each shift I sweep the gutter in front of the shop. and each shift I find at least this many cigarette butts, usually more. If every shop owner/worker in every street in Byron did this, imagine how many cigarettes would be saved from turtles’ mouths? Imagine how many get thrown in the gutter if this is just one morning’s haul from one small business? It is not up to the workers – it is up to the smokers. Please have some consideration for the world you live in and put your butt in the bin. It really isn’t that hard.’
