Farewell to Jenny Verroen Eve Jeffery

New Years Eve marred by tragedy in Byron Bay Jann Gilbert

Jenny Verroen, Mullumbimby identity and much loved Echo staff member, died of complications arising from a recent stroke, at Tweed Heads Hospital on Monday December 29, aged 63. Born Jennifer Dorothy in March 1945, Jen was the oldest of Ted and Dorothy ‘Doff ’ Wareham’s three children. The family including Jenny’s younger brothers Steven and Geoff, lived at Maroubra in Sydney’s southeast. She was an extremely bright child, which was recognised when she won a scholarship to Sydney Girls Grammar. Jenny grabbed all knowledge from every source and at quite a young age headed overseas to explore the world, arriving in the US in the late 60s where she worked firstly for Chris Craft Boats then at the Radio TV Station, KMSP. In 1969 she became the administrative assistant to Jack Chestnut, the campaign manager to former Vice President of the United States, Hubert H Humphrey, in his successful bid to be reelected to the Senate. DJ Leary, political commentator and former media director for Vice President Humphrey has fond and vivid memories of Jen. ‘That campaign was where Jack, Jen and myself first forged a friendship that has weathered time for almost 40 years,’ says DJ. ‘After the campaign, Jen went briefly to Australia but Humphrey was being pressed to run for President in 1972. When he decided to make the run for the White House, he told his campaign manager to bring Jennifer back from Australia, as he wanted her in the US to help him campaign. Humphrey lost the nomination to George McGovern, who lost to Nixon and then came Watergate.’ In 1972 Jen moved to Duluth, Minnesota, as comptroller for the Upper Great Lakes Pilots. The pilots navigated foreign ships through the Lakes. She was also comptroller for Seaway Services, an umbrella corporation

whose companies provided tug boats on the Lakes, stevedoring services for the Port of Duluth, and line handling services in several Great Lakes ports. Jen stayed in the shipping industry for about ten years, finally becoming the overall administrator of the entire operation.

Love of her life It was during her service on the Lakes that she met ‘Verroen’, the love of her life. Gerard Verroen had retired from his career as a ship’s captain and was the general manager of the freezer terminal for shipping in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The corporation that Jenny worked for bought out the firm which employed Gerard and he was ready

to fight for the jobs of his workers when the new company rep entered the room. ‘She was dressed in a white ruffled blouse and a purple jacket,’ recalls Gerard. ‘She had flaming red hair and I thought “God, what a picture”. I was worried that she was going to fire us all but it was settled well, though Jenny kept coming back to Wisconsin for the most minuscule reasons. I thought it a long way to travel for such small things. Then I caught on.’ The two became a pair and were inseparable for almost 30 years. When Jenny fell in love with Gerard she also became a part of the Verroen clan, and Gerard’s son Hans Peter in Holland found a kindred spirit in Jen. ‘I found a new mother and a good continued on page 5

Police have released the name of a French national who died at The Pass on New Years Day. Yonas Mauiner, a 22-year-old tourist who was celebrating with friends, is believed to have fallen from the lookout in the early hours of the morning. Surf Life Saving NSW media officer Donna Wishart said that Mr Mauiner had been sleeping at the lookout with two friends, who awoke at around dawn and found him missing. ‘Mr Mauiner was discovered in the water below and emergency services were alerted,’ said Ms Wishart. ‘Two lifeguards assisted police with crowd control on the ground and another two were in the water assisting with the rescue.’ Inspector Darren Steele from Richmond Tweed Area Command said that Mr Mauiner was retrieved by the Westpac rescue helicopter and airlifted to the Gold Coast hospital in a critical condition but died approximately five hours later due to multiple serious injuries. ‘The French Consulate assisted police with notifying Mr Mauiner’s family in France,’ said Insp Steele. ‘Tragically, the gendarmes would have been knocking on his parent’s door right about the time they were welcoming in the New Year.’ Insp Steele said a post mortem would be carried out in the next couple of days. ‘Detectives at Tweed Heads have interviewed the people who were with Mr Mauiner and noticed him missing, and they’re continuing their investigations,’ said Mr Steele. Mr Mauiner’s family have made arrangements for his body to be returned to France following the post mortem. Surf Life Saving NSW Manager of Lifesaving Services, Craig Roberts, is urging people to take care on beaches and waterways during the holiday season. ‘Not only are incidents like these tragic for the families of those

involved, the increased pressure on our lifesavers and lifeguards at this time of year puts them at risk as well,’ he said. Aside from the fatality, Insp Steele reported that the 10,000-strong crowd spread across Byron Bay’s CBD and beaches on New Years Eve was generally well behaved. ‘Sixteen criminal infringement notices were issued for minor street offences,’ said Insp. Steele, ‘and one man was charged with three counts of assault, all of which occurred between 12.20am and 12.50am on New Years Day.’ In a first for Byron’s Main Beach, lifeguards were on duty until 2am. Northern NSW Lifeguard coordinator Stephen Leahy reported significant numbers of people on the beach and said that although lifeguards were kept busy conducting rescues and preventative actions in an attempt to keep punters from getting into trouble there were ‘no major incidents or rescues’. Byron Bay Hospital however experienced another (sadly) recordbreaking season of alcohol- and drug-related injuries including fractures, lacerations, alcohol poisoning and side effects from other substance abuse. ‘Busy would be a gross understatement,’ remarked one unofficial hospital source. ‘It’s been flat out since New Years Eve and it just gets busier every day.’ In other news NSW Minister for Police, Tony Kelly, has reminded partygoers to take care following a steep increase in drink and food spiking incidents. Data from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research reveals a 150 per cent rise in spiking incidents between January and June last year. ‘It is important not to take a drink of anything you are unsure of and if you feel strange, particularly after having only a small amount of alcohol, ask someone you trust to immediately take you somewhere safe,’ Mr Kelly said.

‘Ever ybody eyes down. Number 22, that’s 2 and 2.’ These few simple words have the effect of galvanising a two hundred strong horde including burly blokes into quacking like Donald Duck in the quest for bingo victory. In its twentieth year, the Housie shed, or tent rather, has been entertaining the crowds in Banner Park Brunswick Heads during the summer school holidays. Housie and the adjacent pick-a-prize tent are the major fundraising events for the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad, enabling them to make necessary upgrades and repairs to vital equipment. Last season the funds raised went towards an hydraulic pump which powers the ‘Jaws of Life’, and this year the squad is hoping to recoup some of the $40,000 that was spent to replace the rescue boat motor which died in November. Members of the squad donate yet more of their time to running the event each year and Deputy Road Captain Sue Biggar busily counts revenue and coordinates games boards during the evening. ‘This year has been an improvement on last,’ said Sue.

Queen of the Housie Shed, Josie, sends the two fat ladies with droopy drawers atop their lovely legs clickety clicking down sunset strip.

‘The rain kept a lot of people away last summer but we are having a good year.’ The shed and its atmosphere is a great way for families to relax at the carnival. ‘We had members from five generations of one family sitting in the front row last summer, they have been coming for years,’ said Sue. ‘A lot of people come back year after year and they always come up and say hello. ‘I often get women coming up saying that they are still us-

ing the salad bowl or cheese knife they won in the pick-aprize years ago.’ This is 10 year old Josephine Greenhalgh’s eleventh housie year. Josephine’s mother Maree has been a regular volunteer at the shed and actually went into labour ten years ago while she was helping out with the fundraiser. Josie has spent every year in the shed and this summer made her debut calling out those precious numbers for the punters. Sue says she’s a little trouper.

‘She’s great. She sells boards and runs around all night helping out and she’s really good at calling the numbers, we are lucky to have her.’ The Housie and pick-a-prize tents open from 7pm to 10pm each night until January 18. The rescue squad always welcomes new members for service as active road and marine crew rescuers and for myriad other jobs large and small. For more information about the squad or to become a member ring Sue on 6685 1000 or 0416 235 822.

The Kites and Bikes Festival is back in Brunswick Heads on March 21 and 22 with an attempt to break the Australian and world records for the most kites in the air at once. It has been the dream of former festival coordinator (now sponsorship and promotions coordinator) Kim Rosen to have a go at the world record. ‘The concept was to organise groups of the shire’s sporting, school and community groups into teams in their colours along the beach, each supplied with a kite, as a display of community cohesion which would raise money for a local charity,’

said Kim. ‘However the logistical challenges and need for coordination and the cost of supplying everyone with a kite to fly meant we needed a record attempt major sponsor. It has always been a challenge just to source enough money from local businesses to cover the running of the main event, so it just wasn’t financially feasible. ‘However, we are now thrilled to announce that Country Energy has come on board as the principal sponsor of the Country Energy Kite Record Attempt.’ In 2007 the Scouts organised a fly-in on the beach at Glenelg

Farewell to Mullum identity Jenny Verroen From front page

mother she was to me. We “spoke the same language�. She was so clever and understanding. I could discuss any and all topics with her and our kids felt like they had a new “Oma�.’ In the late 70s, Jenny and Gerard moved to a house on St. Clair Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota, and in the early 80s she brought her parents over for a lengthy holiday in the US. During their stay, her mother suffered and eventually succumbed to a recurring incident of cancer and Jen along with her father Ted and Gerard, decided to return to Australia, eventually settling in their home at Wilsons Creek. Jen was involved in so many local projects and associations they are beyond count – she was a champion of the Bush Fire Brigade, the Chincogan Fiesta Committee, the Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers and the Brunswick Valley Historical Society. It was through these

community groups she became well known throughout the shire. There was never a time when the Verroens did not have a box of ‘babies’ in the den, a bird flying through the kitchen to a perch on the mantelpiece or a phone call to rescue a snake from some hysterical human, and as members of the historical society, Jenny and Gerard will be well remembered as the Mullumbimby Market managers, for which Gerard says they didn’t miss a single market in 12 years. The Verroens were new arrivals in Mullumbimby when Nicholas Shand and David Lovejoy started a newspaper in 1986 and with the wealth of accounting practice behind her, she set up a bookkeeping system and became an important part of The Echo team. Veteran Echo receptionist Felicity Gaze remembers Jenny as an accommodating and patient teacher. ‘I didn’t have any of the skills I needed for this job

when I started. She was a very welcoming person who showed me how to do everything. I wouldn’t be in this job today if it weren’t for Jen.’ This was also true for many Echo staff members who were employed over the years simply because of the faith Jenny had in their ability, myself included. Jen worked in some capacity for The Echo right up until her trip to Europe and the US in 2005. The Verroens had a joyous family gathering in Holland on their European leg. ‘They came to visit us in Holland in 2005,’ said Hans Peter. ‘It was a wonderful occasion and afterwards they continued on to the USA. That was the last time we saw Jen but she will always be our dear mum and oma.’ The Verroens travelled to St Paul. They were staying with their good friend ‘Princess’ Pam Arledge when Jen collapsed on May 26 with a stroke caused by an arterial venous malformation, AVM, a rare

condition that occurred deep in her brain. Thanks to Cyberknife technology, Jen survived the stroke and with friends and family across the globe awaiting her every breath, she rallied enough to be transported to Australia to continue her recovery. Because of her reduced physical capability, Jenny and Gerard moved from their much loved haven at Wilsons Creek to a more manageable house in Mullumbimby and Jen continued to progress with her recovery. But not for this world was such an angel and her recovery was merely a long goodbye, as Jen was struck again by a stroke in November last year. This time her revival was not as stellar. Sadly just before the new year she let go her hold and flew away. Jenny Verroen leaves behind a legion of broken hearts. She will be sorely and sadly missed and her presence will never be forgotten.

Thunderbird electric bicycles are go Story & photo Hans Lovejoy

As I drive out of Byron Bay to do a story on a new electric bicycle manufacturer in the Arts and Industry Park, the irony of it all becomes clear. There are cars banked up all the way from Belongil and if I had one of these bikes I wouldn’t be sitting in traffic on my return into Byron. The solution is that simple – the corrupt and inept NSW government will not be constructing any bypass or railways soon, and a practicable solution is thankfully available in our neighbourhood – right now. By riding a bicycle that costs 10 cents to charge, has a range of 40-50 kms at roughly 35kms an hour, all locally based travel has now been addressed. And it’s fun. Tim Seckold is the man behind Thunderbird Electric Bicycles, and his passion for all things electrical and mechanical started at 5 or 6 when he started tinkering with TVs, taking them apart and rebuilding them. It’s sort of like bypassing Lego. So why did he start building electric bicycles? ‘After I bought one by mail order, I could not get replacement parts as they were made from poor quality materials and came from all over the world. So I had to make some of the parts myself as many of the components lacked reliability.’ With over five years of de-

velopment – testing every possible combination and configuration of components – Tim claims to have developed the most easy-to-use and affordable electric bike available in Australia today. He has been making bikes to order for some time, according to individual requirements, and now has a range of off-the-shelf models ready to go. ‘Local bicycle shop COG supply the men’s, ladies and tricycles and then I fit the electric motors, batteries and running gear,’ he says. ‘The bikes from COG are all good quality aluminium bikes that won’t rust. ‘The batteries come from a

supplier in Lismore, the drive component and motor is from Victoria and have great wholesale prices for these parts… in fact the only parts I order from overseas is some of the running gear. I have tried to buy local where I can.’ The battery is a gel cell lead acid and is fully recyclable, according to Tim. ‘Other batteries available hold more charge but unfortunately end up as landfill, so these are the best option currently.’ Recently Greens MP Ian Cohen purchased a Thunderbird bike to ride to Parliament House in Canberra and has been enthusing about and ad-

vocating the virtues of electric transport for years. ‘He’s in it for the health and environmental aspects,’ says Tim. ‘And an electric motor means he can do further distances in shorter time.’ The price starts from $1250 for a complete bicycle or $950 to convert your own. ‘The additional weight of the motor and batteries have little effect on normal performance and hill-climbing becomes effortless!’ Thunderbird Electric Bicycles are at 4/10 Wollongbar Street, Arts and Industry Park, Byron Bay.

Mullum man dies after bicyle and car collide Mullumbimby man Daniel Afflick, 21, has died following a cycling accident on December 16 last year. According to a police report, Daniel Afflick was knocked off his bicycle by a Toyota sedan as he rode east

along Mullumbimby Road, Mullumbimby, at 8.15pm on Thursday December 16. Daniel was rushed to the Tweed Heads Hospital and then transferred to the Gold Coast Hospital for emergency

treatment to critical head injuries. Police have confirmed that Daniel was not wearing a bicycle helmet at the time of the crash. Queensland authorities informed NSW Police that Daniel

died from his injuries on Christmas Eve. The incident is now in the hands of the coroner. Police are reminding motorists and cyclists to show extreme caution on the roads during the holiday period.

Keep an eye out for banded Pied Oystercatchers Beach goers are being asked to keep an eye out for banded Pied Oystercatchers in an effort to track the distribution and survival of this threatened bird. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Ranger, Holly North, said that banding chicks in the local population of Pied Oystercatchers began two years ago. Sightings of banded birds

www.echo.net.au

provide valuable information about the ecology and distribution of this species. ‘Birds banded in 2006 been sighted at Mobbs Bay in Ballina and Belongil Beach in Byron Bay. They have also been seen at Stradbroke and Moreton Island in Queensland and as far south as Port Stephens, near Newcastle,’ Ms North said.

‘We have also had a bird turn up on our beaches that had originally been banded in Westernport, about 100km south-east of Melbourne. This is the longest distance a Pied Oystercatcher is known to have travelled in Australia.’ The birds have alphanumeric yellow flags and a stainless steel band on their legs. These tell

us about an individual bird including what year a bird was born and where it was born. Anyone wanting to report a banded bird should note which leg the band is on and the corresponding letter and numbers if they can be seen without disturbing the bird. Banded birds can be reported to the NPWS on 6627 0200.

T

his summer our café has a brand new summer menu. Try our sushi made fresh by Yukiko, our Japanese sushi chef. For many years Yukiko had her own restaurant in Japan and her attention to detail is an inspiration to us all. Yukiko also makes fresh Japanese salads daily. They are delicate and well balanced. You will feel good all day knowing that your lunch was made fresh from local fresh ingredients. Our new salads and sandwiches are also made fresh daily from local ingredients. Simon, our head chef, is using his experience of years at Rockpool to delight us with new combinations of sandwiches and western salads on a regular basis. Our cake menu has been revamped and we bake every day. Our Macadamia Baked Cheesecake is already a legend and sells out every day. Our coffee is still the finest in the district and our baristas make sure your coffee is to your exact liking. We now have two coffee machines and baristas to reduce waiting. Our major focus this year has been in building an extension to our café facing onto the park, which is now open. We think you will love sitting under our magnificent flowering Tipuana tree on our new deck. Picture yourself sipping your coffee and watching the farmyard animals as they watch you while the kids are entertained in our playground and by keeper talks and train rides. Our full menu is available for enjoyment in the park by ordering at the window facing onto the park deck. Relax and we will bring your breakfast, lunch or dinner to you. The park has a brand new attraction open for viewing. Rodents Rodents and more Rodents. We guarantee thrills for the boys and expect some shrieks from the girls. I’m sure we will also have some shrieks from the boys. Over January we will be open until 8pm many weekend evenings. Keep an eye on the banner in front of the Castle for open nights or call us on 6687 8432 if you are planning a twilight visit. It’s my favourite time of the day in the park. Echo staff can vouch for the fabulous sushi, the meltin-the-mouth brownies, fabulously-filled baguettes and decadent cakes. Meanwhile, the back deck with its shady Tipuana tree is proving to be very popular, especially on the days there is live entertainment.

What price amenity in our little Shire? ally misuse alcohol. You’d have to be Blind Freddy not to see the connection between this and cultural attitudes to drinking (in particular) and, in other sections of the community, drug use. As a friend suggested, if we’re really serious about sending the right message, how about road-testing a totally ‘dry’ Byron? Just for a year. Now that would be something to write about. But hark, I already hear the stampede of outraged commercial interests. Still, one can always live in hope!

It’s 5.30am on New Year’s Day and Sarah Musu is on her regular Lighthouse walk. With two kids under three in the super stroller Sarah takes the road instead of the walkway. Normally it’s a pleasant walk but, this morning, with revellers spilling over balconies and still partying from the night before, it looks akin to a MArated video clip complete with a hint of porn. Not to mention the broken glass, the unbroken glass, overflowing bins and the rest of the litter, language and lasciviousness. ‘My kids are too young at the moment to know what’s going on but it still makes you feel uncomfortable,’ says Sarah. ‘And they won’t be too young to notice for much longer.’ Sarah suspends her Lighthouse walks for now. Meanwhile, early morning walkers begin the cleanup and extinguish fires left burning, unattended, on the beach. The banksias and casuarinas have taken a battering this year in the revellers’ hunt for firewood. A strange car crash, or pseudo art installation, appears on Bangalow Road, much to the amusement of the still-drinking, likely lads who lounge on

the lawn admiring someone’s handiwork. The police and tow truck later come to end all this amusement much to the disappointment of the likely lads. And while the tons of extra police may have kept Byron ‘safe’, the poor relative, Suffolk Park, barely saw a glimpse of blue and white. So bad luck if you want to make a phone call from the public box outside Suffolk Park Caravan Park (it’s smashed), or park at Gaggin Park (campervans have been ensconced there for three days), or a go for a walk without being garbled at by (they believe) fun-loving, youthful revellers (read illegal campers) who, for all intents and pur-

poses, simply look wasted and somewhat pathetic. And god forbid if you need to get a taxi, an ambulance, medical treatment or the police. Ah, substance abuse. The seemingly endless drug-fuelled mayhem (till death do us part for some) that characterises Western social and cultural events. Drugs (including alcohol) already feature heavily in health, crime and accident statistics and, according to Paul Dillon, director of the private consultancy Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia, the $53 million National Binge Drinking Strategy is having little effect on a generation of young drinkers who habitu-

All set for chopping and fishing The 49th Brunswick Festival of the Fish and Chips is taking place from January 14 to 17 in Banner Park, Brunswick Heads. The festival, which includes the Woodchop Carnival, is so named to reflect the history of the fishing and timber industries in Brunswick Heads, the fish and the chips. The woodchop competition will this year include 115 entries of men, women and boys from Australia and New Zealand. Events include underhand and standing block chopping, sawing and tree. Last years champions Karmyn Wynyard and Jason Wynyard, the husband and wife duo from New

Zealand, will defend their titles. Events are in single and teams format, including relays plus there will be the State of Origin event. There will be a test between the Australian and New Zealand women’s teams. This will be a relay of nine competitors each night on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 9pm. The 2007 test at the Brunswick Heads Woodchop was won by Australia. The junior boys will compete in a novice event on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Prior to the festival week, a family fireworks display will take place, weather permitting, on the night of Saturday Janu-

ary 10 at 9pm opposite the Hotel Brunswick. The fireworks mark the commencement of the Festival of the Fish & Chips and are free to all. Also on Saturday January 10, registration for the fishing competition takes place in the timber Housie Shed in Banner Park at 2pm with weigh in on the Sunday at 10am sharp. Competition is open to both junior and senior anglers. Anglers must abide by NSW bag limits and sizes. For further information contact Stu Coles on 6680 5108.

Paddle raises funds for cancer research On December 20, 2008, two Sydney city workers set out from Byron Bay in a twoperson sea kayak to take on a twenty day paddle down the east coast of Australia to Bondi Beach. Scott Timbrell from Bondi and Rob Lowe from Manly have set themselves the challenge of raising $10,000 for The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Scott’s father Douglas Timbrell was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, but due to the skills of doctors he’s now fit and well and shadowing the pair down the coast as they prepare fundraising events in each town along the way. Scott Timbrell said, ‘We’d been told about sharks and dangerous weather that we’d have to face on the trip, but it’s nothing compared to being told that your dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I thought at the time that I could either sit around and do nothing, or get up and do something about it.’ Prostate cancer is a serious but avoidable illness. It’s as prevalent as breast cancer is in women, but general awareness of the disease is lower and often diagnosis is made too late. Men over 40 should go to the doctor and ask for a routine checkup. All equipment has been

natical nationalism and widespread international support, backed up by its own nuclear weapons. All we can do is wait and hope that sooner or later sanity prevails on both sides, as it eventually did in northern Ireland. But it would be unwise to hold our breath. And now, having got that out of the way, let’s take a look at the real crisis: the Australian cricket team.

the side would increase still further if the injured regulars Brett Lee (34), Andrew Symonds (33) and Stuart Clark (33) were available. Chief selector Andrew Hilditch (about 96 and a half) likes to describe the side as ‘in transition’. But transition to what? Middle age? Hilditch also insists that the oldest member of all, Matthew Hayden (36), is by no means ready

There are other, younger players of potential around; there must be. But they never get the chance to show what they can do. by Mungo MacCallum The aforementioned John Howard would approve of this allocation of priorities. For him as for his fellow Australian Ginger Meggs (with whom he shares so many limitations) our cricketers hold an almost sacred significance, and the captaincy ranks as the most important job in the nation. Thus Howard must be aghast at the present position but it is one with which he should be familiar. Just as he did, the players have brought disaster upon themselves by hanging around for too long. It is strange indeed to hear captain Ricky Ponting (34) talking about ‘the youngsters’ in his side. These would normally be understood to include Simon Katich (30), Michael Hussey (33), Brad Haddin (31) and the new boys Doug Bollinger and Andrew McDonald (both 27). In fact Peter Siddle (24) is the only one of the current lot under 27. And the average age of

CLEARANCE OUTLET

Kevin Rudd’s ambitious plan to tackle homelessness, The Road Home, was launched on December 21, 2008. The White Paper on Homelessness is available at Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) website www.facsia.gov.au/internet/facsinternet.nsf/housing/white_paper_on_homelessness.htm or by calling 1800 774 055. Media commentators can be forgiven for expressing scepticism at hopes of achieving the goals to halve homelessness in Australia and to ‘provide accommodation to all rough sleepers who seek it’ by 2020. According to the government, there are currently 105,000 homeless people in Australia, of whom around 16,000 sleep rough. Those numbers are likely to be larger as the global financial crisis bites harder in Australia in 2009. The government is throwing big money at the problem – an additional $1.2 billion over four years, which includes $800 million for new support services for homeless people and $400 million over the next two financial years for social housing. The government also recognises the need to address root causes of homelessness, such as dysfunctionality among families and a need for greater capital injection for aged care places. These are problems which have been festering for decades. The plan to ‘fund a network of 90 Community Engagement Officers within Centrelink to support people at risk of homelessness’ may help rehabilitate that organisation’s image tarnished by the Howard government’s fervour for persecuting the unemployed. The north coast is a ‘hot spot’ for homelessness and the associated problems which stem from mental illness, transience and tourism impact, to name a few factors. The Northern Rivers Social Development Council CEO Tony Davies rightly points out that homelessness is not just a problem for cities. ‘We have very high rates of homelessness in the Northern Rivers,’ Mr Davies said when welcoming the federal government’s plan. ‘This particularly affects young people, people with mental health issues and, increasingly, families with young children. ‘We know that 1 in 70 young people are homeless and across our region there are at least 500 homeless young people aged 12 to 25 across the region. These young people are either sleeping rough or living in temporary and insecure arrangements which place them at risk. ‘There are also very high numbers of rough sleepers in the region. Census data indicates that on any given night there at least 200 people sleeping rough in the region. ‘We are very pleased that the bulk of new funding will fund prevention programs that intervene early to break the cycle of homelessness.’ For its part Byron Shire Council will have a report to look at on its draft affordable housing strategy, by which it hopes to relieve some of the stress of homelessness in the shire, depending on how much funding it can get for whatever plans it decides to set in motion. Council also resolved in December last year to move ahead with its Affordable Housing Reference Group for its Station Street site south of the Mullumbimby council offices. Crs Tom Tabart and Simon Richardson are its representatives on that group and can be lobbied via Cr.Tom.Tabart@byron.nsw.gov.au and Cr.Simon.Richardson@byron.nsw.gov.au respectively. You can also be part of an ongoing discussion on homelessness in Australia at www.homelessnessinfo.net.au. – Michael McDonald, editor

et us start by wishing our readers a happy new year, a hope unlikely to be fulfilled, but what the heck. And now before getting down to the nitty gritty, the answers to three questions I have been asked frequently during the break. (1) Should Kevin Rudd apologise to Mohammed Haneef for the abuses committed by the administration of John Howard? Yes, because he is head of the Australian government and the Australian government was the institution responsible for the abuses. The same logic and obligation which compelled the apology to the stolen generations apply here. (2) Should we take a share of those to be released from Guantanamo Bay? Probably not. The Howard government’s Pacific Solution to outsource our own unwanted was a bad idea and the Americans should not be allowed, let alone encouraged, to attempt a similar piece of buck-passing. Moreover, however innocent the previous inmates may or may not have been at the time of their capture, a few years in the hell hole the Americans deliberately placed outside the law are unlikely to have made them wildly sympathetic to western Anglophone society – not ideal material for Australian citizenship. (3) Is there anything we can do about Israel/Palestine? No. With the benefit of 60 years hindsight, it can be seen that setting up a Jewish state on what had become Arab homelands in the midst of what were confirmed as Arab homelands was a pretty dumb idea. But we did, and it’s not going to go away. Moreover it has a fa-

for retirement and in fact figures prominently in his plans for the future. This suggests that either Hilditch believes in time travel or that Hayden has compromising photographs of him and a goat. If ever a player was clearly past his use-by date it is Hayden. But like the Queen, he refuses to abdicate. And in any case, who would replace him? Like Prince Charles, the various replacements likely to find favour with Hilditch and his fellow selectors are also well into the second halves of their respective careers. Two who have been briefly tried are Brad Hodge (34) and Chris Rogers (31), while Michael’s younger brother David Hussey (31) is felt to be not quite ready yet. Phil Jaques (32) is also hoping to make a comeback. The only spring chicken on the horizon is Phil Hughes (19), but he is clearly seen as far too immature by the gin-soaked old farts who administer the

game (Ian Botham’s description, not mine, alas). Let the young whippersnapper spend his best years in frustrated impotence like everyone else. And on the bowling front, things are no less bleak. The newest find, Mitchell Johnson, is already 27, getting on for a quick. So are the favoured new ‘boys’, Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus. Spinner Nathan Hauritz (also 27) probably has a few ineffectual years ahead of him but Jason Krejza (35) can hardly be considered a long term prospect and the other possibility, Bryce McGain (36) is even closer to the twilight home. There are other, younger players of potential around; there must be. But they never get the chance to show what they can do. Too many are locked into the hit and giggle of 20-20 non-cricket and while the privileged few may graduate through one-day games to the Sheffield Shield, even there they seldom if ever get a chance to test themselves against the national representatives. Wearing the baggy green is now a fulltime, fullytenured occupation, and what little time off the players get is more likely to be spent recuperating from inevitable injuries or reintroducing themselves to their families than in filling in at state level. It is no wonder that from time to time they appear tired and stale. But it is a pity that neither they nor the selectors seem to understand the need for regular rejuvenation, for generational change. Next time John Howard drops into the dressing room, they should taker a long hard look at him and consider: do we really want to end up like this?

Climate change is a real threat I am surprised to find Peggy Balfour being taken in by the Flat Earthers of the mainstream media (Letters, December 23). She is quite right to question the corporate profiteering that carbon trading will produce, and Krudd’s scheme seems almost designed to encourage special pleading, greenwash and lawyers’ picnics. But the science on global warming is quite clear. In the 1970s it was known that carbon dioxide would cause warming, and that dust particles (mainly from burning fossil fuels) would cause cooling, and it was not clear which effect would dominate. By early 1980s it was realised that other gases, such as CFCs and methane, were also greenhouse gases and were increasing rapidly in the atmosphere, and that a number of feedbacks would add to the direct warming caused by these gases. At the same time it was realised that the dust particles from power stations and steel mills caused acid rain, so they were drastically cut in many countries, leaving the running to the greenhouse gases. In addition, better calculations of global temperature trends showed that the sup-

posed rapid cooling since the 1940s that had fueled suggestions of an imminent ice age had not happened, except over the land areas of the northern hemisphere, particularly America, which of course just happened to be where most of the ‘scientists’ were. Add in the rapid increase in computer speeds, which enable much better understanding of what had happened and was happening and the debate was over – there has been no serious scientific challenge to the global warming hypothesis for at least 20 years. The claim that ‘global temperatures have been dropping since 1998’ is the latest furphy espoused by the Flat Earthers. A simple analogy – temperatures in Byron Shire have been dropping since the Friday before Christmas, when it was 36o at my place. Should we conclude from that that winter is only a few weeks away? Obviously not – one exceptionally hot day doesn’t mean that current temperatures are not consistent with early summer and the approaching wet season. Similarly, one exceptionally hot year (1998) doesn’t mean that current global temperatures are not consistent

with the century-long rising temperature trend attributed to greenhouse gases. And if you, Mr Editor, seriously think that ‘Council is incorporating planning for climate change into its policies and documents’ you should perhaps ease off a bit on the red.

Balfour is pretty much in the right of things but this time I’m afraid the logic is utterly flawed.

That anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is real, I and all the credible scientists agree.

to con you out of your carbon dollar is as ludicrous as it is dangerous. This issue is more important than any facing humanity/earth at the moment – the global financial crisis pales into insignificance. There are already too many commentators (both official columnists and bloggers are often in the pay of the corporate/ military anti-AGW lobby) out there trying to muddy the waters in much the same way to the benefit of their own greedy agendas. You might smell a rat with carbon trading but this gives you no reason to become a climate change denier! May I direct you to www.skepticalscience.com for a comprehensive debunking of all the anti-AGW myths, including the furphy that global warming ended in 1998 – ‘While 1998 was an unusually hot year due to El Nino, the long term trend since 1998 is still that of warming’ – with very much more detail on the site. This is serious and complicated stuff, Peggy, and I would have expected you to know better than to have been hoodwinked yourself by that particular conspiracy theory!

get much more obsessional than that! Without any malice it’s perfectly reasonable to ask ‘Why?’ And maybe ‘Is there something personal here?’ On widely held estimates, at least a third of Catholic clergy is gay. Benedict surrounds himself with gay advisors and officials in a ‘celibate’ all-male bastion. Men in denial over sexuality gravitate towards such environments. We’ve known for decades that ‘gay bashers’ (who seek out gays and savagely attack them for no other reason) are often suppressing latent same-sex urges. Destructive rampages are their attempt to destroy an innate homosexuality and assuage their guilt. Readers will draw their own conclusions (including wanting to crucify me, but I can take that). However, when Rome sends out its next antihomosexual edict, it may be worth asking ‘Why this obsessive need to pick on a harmless, defenceless minority?’ Why indeed, when world issues like hunger, disease, terrorism and war are clamoring to be resolved?

Holiday letting Thanks for reporting the story of the greedy holiday let property owner with five properties who is taking AVOs against neighbours who have complained about noise. Could you please let your readers know when this case is due for hearing? I for one would like to be there and I’m sure there would be others wanting to support the defendants. I have a holiday let house opposite my home and it has taken me almost three weeks since the schoolies left to get my normal sleep pattern back. Now again since Boxing Day it’s more of the same for the next three weeks. It seems to me that this town is now more than ever divided into camps. One being the permanent residents who have every right to expect peace and quiet at night, especially those that get up early to do a day’s work and on the other side some property owners who only think of maximum personal gain and to hell with the rest.

plans (approved by ex-Minister Sartor) for a waterlogged site a stone’s throw from the river, in the sleepiest part of Mullumbimby. Over the year, Woolworths’ efforts to ignore the consent conditions and build stages 1 and 2 at the same time with onsite sewage has seen about four new modifications go to the Department of Planning (DoP). Currently we await the outcome of their latest offerings, about which Byron Shire Council (BSC) made a submission to the DoP in early December. BSC’s verdict: ‘unacceptable’. However, since Mallams originally took the matter to the Minister, the Minister is still the consent authority,

and not the local council. Oh dear. Woolworths still want to build both stages at once, and still do onsite wastewater management, and now they are proposing that when we have heavy rain (about three times a year, they say) they will pump out the sewage and take it to Tweed. Hello. That’s illegal in Byron Shire. Q: What if they get permission to do that? A: Set a precedent. Other contentious details such as the half-metre buffer zone Woolworths propose for their onsite irrigation system, the use of cleaning chemicals potentially killing the bacteria required for the on-site to function, their promise to not process meat and chicken on-

Remarkable coincidences abound. In a time that has seen the greatest drop in oil prices in history (75% off highs, which by my reckoning implies a petrol price of 35c per litre), Caltex suffers the misfortune of a fire at its Brisbane refinery, resulting in a shortage of supply and, regrettably, higher prices in time for Christmas. Oh, and did they mention that they will be revising their expected net loss of $40m for FY08 to a profit of $10m (as opposed to last year’s profit of $646m)? Meanwhile, OPEC announces a drop in oil supply by 2.2 million barrels per day. Apparently, lower oil prices means that wealthy Arab nations can no longer afford to build novelty islands in fragile ecosystems, or Towers of Babel on sandy foundations. Funny, though, how their output figures do not reflect the alleged production cuts. Must’ve forgot to put a few zeroes on the memo... And in other news, the total sum of bailout money being spent on failed institutions considered most responsible for the extraordinary drop in commodity prices now exceeds the net sum of subprime debt which was once touted as the cause for this entire global cataclysm. In fact, if the American government had simply paid out every last low-doc home loan in its entirety gratis they would still have had a few trillion dollars’ change to give all the other law abiding citizens

Beach poo-lution

We tend to blame all the rubbish problems on the tourists but it seems that there are some locals who need to learn to do the right thing! Why would anyone carry a doggie bag, bother to go through the trouble of picking up the their dog’s poo, nicely securing it into the shiny black bag, then drop it onto the clean white sand? I understand that some well meaning folks might ‘forget’ to retrieve their little treasure at the end of their beach walk. I, however, am tired of cleaning up after other people’s puppy poo at South Golden/Fern Beach and I don’t even own a dog! Someone – and you know who you are – is leaving their fresh plastic stinky ‘gift’ on our beach daily. You obviously have no conscience, and do not care that if it is left to float into the sea, some poor innocent turtle will choke to death because of your lazy selfishness! If you chose to live in paradise, shape up and get your act together and let’s keep our paradise clean!

How to market a market ■I write in response to Nick Buckley’s letter, Echo, Tuesday December 16. Byron Bay Community Market places regular paid advertisements, community notices and gig guide listings in The Echo, The Byron Shire News and The Weekend Star. The Market submits community service announcements to Byron Visitor Information Centre and local radio stations Bay FM, 2NCR FM and Paradise FM. The Tweed News, Gold FM and 4CRB FM in Queensland also receive and run regular community announcements. To promote our special Christmas market, media releases and photographs were submitted to The Echo, Byron Shire News and the Weekend Star, although only Byron Shire News printed the story.

The market has also been promoted on our webpages at www.byroncentre.com.au. We are most grateful to the announcers of Bay FM who have recently helped us to promote the market through interviews with market staff. We are disappointed to report that our Pacific Highway signs have been stolen on three occasions in 2008; new signs are on order. As noted in the market newsletter, we will be reviewing our marketing strategy in the new year with the objective to achieve much greater publicity for Byron Bay Community Market and its stallholders.

Letters/Articles blaming Council, questioning decisions and being aesthetically purist! I moved to this place because I thought the townsfolk here were above this kind of behaviour and were accepting of differences, culturally diverse, artistically inclined and nonjudgmental. ‘Rapunzel’s Tower’ in my opinion is potentially the most truly iconic building in Byron Bay and reminds me of its people, an eclectic mish-mash of styles, colour and culture.

The building isn’t even complete yet, so why not wait and see what it really looks like when it’s finished and operational? Don’t judge a book by its cover, the old saying goes, I have a feeling we might be pleasantly surprised by what lies beneath this one! Any-which-way, who are we to judge? Anyone been to Spain and checked out Gaudi’s buildings? Millions of tourists every year do! Get over yourselves (Suzanne Bourchier and Alistair Bell)and go get

â–

Reforming the RTA I read with interest Don Page’s excellent article (Echo, Decmber 23) supporting the idea of a National Environmental Accounts system to audit the results from governments’ environmental expenditure and ensure we are getting value for taxpayer’s money. This would be an excellent tool and, yes, ‘the administration would need to transcend politics’ to ensure long-term progression. This is obviously all in the future. Meanwhile we should all be active to ensure that governments’ ‘environmental’ expenditures are not negated by governments’ ‘non-environmental’ expenditures such as infrastructure projects and industry grants and concessions.

For example, how much environmental money and effort will be offset by the RTA constructing the T2E motorway through the Emigrant Creek water catchment area contrary to NSW legislation for drinking water and contrary to provisions in the Ballina LEP? How much environmental effort and money will be needed to offset the impacts on surface and groundwater flows of the huge areas of road surface at the proposed interchanges at Bangalow and Ivy Lane for T2E and the bypass through Byron Creek valley? As Don Page writes, ‘If we are serious about the future of Australia and the protection, and indeed enhancement, of our natural environment, we

need reform.’ Indeed we do! How can the RTA be brought into line, not simply to stop the environmental negatives of building motorways through catchment areas – Emigrant Creek and Wilsons River – but to understand that major projects must aim to improve the environment not simply make a degraded environment ‘no worse’? Large projects making the present situation ‘no worse’ simply make future improvement that much harder. How can we get governments and their agencies, such as the RTA, to recognise the vital importance of the environment? It is our life support system!

Principal Ian Graham, centre, and ex-students Neville Marks (1959) left, and John Robinson (1974) at a recent meeting of the steering committee for the Mullumbimby High School ExStudents Association.

The plan to form an Ex-Students Association for Mullumbimby High School has been welcomed by the school principal, Ian Graham. Mr Graham, commenting on the progress made by the steering committee which includes Robyn Gray and Gillian Lomath, both ex-students (1959), and Amanda Hallinan, the School’s Community Liaison Officer, said that to his knowledge this is the first time Colin Cook an ex-student’s association has Bangalow been set up formally, through

an incorporated body. ‘I see it as a huge benefit for this school in many ways,’ he said. ‘Our school has a long and proud history and this initiative will help connect current students and staff to the school’s tradition and strengthen pride and identity.’ Also part of the committee, which has prepared a memorandum of understanding and a constitution, are John Robinson (1974) and Neville Marks (1959). The association will have

two main aims, one social, to provide opportunities for exstudents to stay in touch with each other and the school, and the other to support current students in a variety of ways through their schooling. There will be various forms of membership open to ex-students, staff and supporters of the school. A register of interested people is being compiled and anyone wanting to know more about the membership options is invited to call Robyn Gray on 02 6688 4356.

The familiar arrival of the Christmas beetles Mary Gardner

Where to begin about our Christmas beetles? When you see the insects blundering toward lights at night, beating against windows and screens, they are distracted adults, in their summer heyday. From November through February, these scarab beetles travel through urban and rural forests. They chew on the tough leaves of trees, particularly the eucalyptus. When they can, they mate. By the time they die, no one is really paying much attention. But the females have lain eggs, modest batches of forty to fifty, in pastures both exotic and native. With the hatching of these eggs the life cycle truly begins. There are some thirty five species of Anoplognathus and the larger part of their lives are as grubs chewing roots. Some species spend one winter underground. Some spend two. Then, uncelebrated, the grubs pupate. They make a kind of cocoon and rest, while undergoing a body makeover. Their metamorphosis is as complete as that of the caterpillars of butterflies or moths. Both being insects, their anatomy shows parallels and variations that thrill us nature watchers.

The bodies of the adults, as with all insects, will be in three parts. The heads of caterpillars will change to have antennae and a long thin mouthpart for sucking flower nectar. The heads of grubs turn into stout noggins. They have antennae too but also strong chewing mandibles. Both have a thorax. A middle section to which the legs are attached. But the grubs legs are thick, with spines on them. The abdomens of caterpillars become slim while the grubs’ turn into round tubs. And the wings! Grubs end up with their forewings hardened into a cover called the elytra. These will spread open to allow the thin membraneous hindwings to emerge. In spite of the logistics, these stubby wings actually allow the little tanks to become airborne. Of course, the caterpillars’ two sets of wings are thin with marvellous patterns. But then they need only to crack out from their cocoons and flitter away. The transformed grubs, under the surface of the soil, must dig their way not only out of the cocoons but up through the dirt. Their armour plating and tough limbs, the original natural ‘iron man’ suit, are vital. The little heroes must also reckon with the elements. They emerge when the spring rains soften the ground enough.

Drawing by Romy Dingle.

Dry springs mean few if any can reach the open air of the adult world. Very heavy rains end up drowning them in their cocoons. Then there is the added dilemma of habitat change. More paddocks, fewer wild eucalypt forests and more plantations filled with eucalypt clones mean the beetle population has balancing problems. On one hand, changing the landscape to give the grubs more room increases their numbers. Fewer forests force the adults

to gather into congregations of sizes not known before. Flocking in plantations with commercial interests, the beetles become labelled as pests. The overall geography changes also affect the timing of rainfall and the quantities. More paddocks also encourage the royal ibis, who feast on the grubs. Then there is climate change itself. So are there more beetles or fewer? Are they early or late? Are the grubs or beetles confused? Who knows? In the 1880s Anna Botsford

Comstock was the illustrator of her husband’s reports on his insect research at Cornell University, USA. She went on from there to illustrate, write and teach not only about insects but about nature studies as a whole. She introduced outdoor studies to primary and secondary school students and teachers nationwide. She was the first woman professor at Cornell, though she was not titled as one for twenty years. Her Handbook of Nature Studies first published around 1906 is still in print and available through bookstores online. Doesn’t that rate as prize worthy science? Comstock began as a selftaught artist who wrote, ‘Nature study cultivates the child’s imagination‌ cultivates in him a perception and regard for what is true and the power to express it.’ Learning from her mother, working along with her husband, she knew personal fulfillment in sharing her observations and illustrations. Even today, families use her handbook as a guide for their own nature explorations – some report their adventures online using blogs and websites. Her love of nature and her skills also launched for her unique career in science. At a time when society heard sci-

ence rank women as inferior and incapable of intellectual work, Comstock proved different. She developed the practice of science as a means of building intellect and character in every participant. She explained nature studies helped grow ‘a love of the beautiful’. Her feelings are echoed by Richard Louv, author of the recent Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. He also advocates outdoor classrooms. He finds a surfeit of electronic games and videos is not feeding the souls of our future leaders in sustainable living and planet restoration. Comstock’s colleague L B Bailey, founder of the American Nature Study Society, now the oldest conservation group in the USA, wrote, ‘Real nature study cannot pass away. We are children of nature.’ So when the Christmas beetles yet again crash into the screen door, introduce yourself. Take a closer look at one or two. Bring out the drawing pad you bought in that wild moment when you resolved this year at long last you would do some art. For the sheer joy of it, draw what you see. ■Mary Gardner is a writer, bi-

ologist and tutor. See more at www.mgardner.info.

Push on for organ Beast bears down on tanker donation A new national authority says it will use a best practice approach to improve Australians’ access to life saving and transforming transplants. The call is going out to the six million Australians who have taken the step of signing up to the Australian Organ Donor Register and may not realise there’s actually a more important action they need to take – to let their family know what they want to happen in the event of their death. Having that informed discussion will help to ensure those personal wishes are carried out. Currently, more than 80 per cent of Australians are willing to donate their organs and tissues after death, but the number of deceased organ donors meets just one-third of the national demand for transplants. The reforms driven forward by the new Australian Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Authority will mean that the family of every potential donor will be asked by trained health professionals about organ and tissue donation should the situation arise. However, recent research shows that:

www.echo.net.au

t BMNPTU IBMG QFS DFOU of NSW and ACT residents surveyed don’t realise that their next of kin will be asked to confirm their wishes about possible organ and tissue donation; t PWFS B RVBSUFS QFS DFOU of people across the state have not informed any likely nextof-kin of their own wishes; and t DMPTF UP B RVBSUFS QFS DFOU PG /48 BOE "$5 SFTJdents have never discussed organ and tissue donation with anyone close to them. Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor John Horvath, said, ‘We already know that organ and tissue donation is an easy decision for many: four in five of us are willing to donate after death. Signing up to the register is not enough. Discussing that choice with friends and family isn’t always the most comfortable thing to do but it’s a critical part of the process.’ The Australian Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Authority is part of a $151million investment dedicated to improving donation rates.

Huge white clouds passing close to Newcastle prompted draughtsman and 40-year photography veteran Mat Kekevski to drive to the coast with his camera in December 2004. Mat got excited when he saw the unusually low cloud on the horizon and the ship outside Newcastle Harbour. ‘The ship adds a sense of danger and scale,’ he says. Although severe thunderstorms can occur at any time of the year in NSW, they are most common during spring and summer when there is more energy from the sun and more favourable weather patterns. The intense storm photographed by Mat was associated with a low pressure system off

the NSW coast. The storm formed inland and moved to the northeast, passing to the south of Newcastle and out over the water. Mat’s work is part of the 2009 Australian Weather Calendar each year since 1985 by the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society as a notfor-profit publication. About 10,000 complimentary calendars are each year sent to volunteer and cooperative weather observers, emergency services, Australian Missions overseas, and national meteorological services.

Last year I lost 25 kilos. Everyone keeps asking me: how did you do it? There is no magic answer. No treatment, device or potion can get rid of excess weight. I did it the old fashioned way. Diet and exercise. I gave up booze, sugar and high GI carbs. Initially I was worried that with the fat I may also lose my personality and become one of those pious health nuts. I am pleased to say I am still afflicted with a healthy sense of cynicism, and am still a pain but in a slightly smaller ass.

A few months ago I was approached by The Body Oasis to trial a cellulite treatment called Endermologie. At first I was a bit deflated. I had lost all that weight but my thighs and butt still looked like porridge in a body stocking, and someone had noticed! I am an advocate of ageing naturally and believe there have to be a few of us pioneers who say no to botox, tit jobs, butt lifts and liposuction. It’s called going with grace. Otherwise future generations may never get to know what an old woman actually looks like. I had never heard of Endermologie but was immediately suspicious. I imagined some invasive fat vacuum. I was assured that it was originally developed to treat scar tissue in burns victims. Turned out that their skin texture improved and cellulite disappeared. It’s this funny little roller

device that sucks and kneads connective tissue and triggers fat cells to release fat, while simultaneously stimulating the body’s blood and lymph flow. It also boosts collagen and elastin production to give your skin a healthier rejuvenated tone. I’m like ‘yeah, sure it does’. I have to admit, I thought that Nancy from the Body Oasis must be confident, because I told her that if I didn’t think the treatment worked I wouldn’t endorse it. In ten 35 minute treatments I was amazed. In fact I’d eat my words if they weren’t so high in carbohydrates. We did the initial weigh in and measure up, and in just 3 weeks with absolutely no kilo reduction I had lost 5cm off my waist (fluid retention) and 2cm off my thighs. My upper arms had lost 1cm each in circumference and the flappy bit that hangs over the bra under the arm (I call that the lady scrotum) had reduced from a bulge to an inoffensive curve. It was very relaxing (like a deep tissue massage) and left me feeling invigorated. I have a noticeable cellulite reduction and have just knocked back a request to be the centrefold for the next Senior’s Monthly. Only women get cellulite, and only men get man boobs. Endermologie will also reduce those man titties and love handles. Like me, its totally natural and it works.

At the end of last year two local men, Norm Sanders and Bill Host, used wind power to reach an altitude of 10,000 feet over the Mt Warning area in a glider. They harnessed strong winds which created mountain wave conditions behind the wall of the Caldera. Norm Sanders, an instructor with the Byron Bay Gliding Club, said, ‘This was the most magical flight I’ve ever had over the Byron area. It is always spectacular, but our wave flight over Mt Warning was a oncein-a-lifetime experience. ‘This condition is rare in this area, being more common in the Snowy Mountains down south where I used to fly

before moving to Byron. ‘I had a feeling a wave flight would be on when I was flying a passenger earlier in the day. I rang up fellow pilot Bill Host and we were soon on the airfield at Tyagarah getting the German ASK21 glider ready. ‘We used the engine in the self-launching glider to get us off the ground and into the Caldera. Then we put it away in the fuselage and let renewable energy do its work.’ Mr Sanders pointed out that they were flying into controlled airspace and had to have a transponder and permission from Air Services to climb so high. ‘The controller was a little taken aback when we asked for

clearance to 10,000 feet in a glider,’ he said. The pair flew at altitude for over half an hour, enjoying a view which extended from the Gold Coast to Evans Head and from Cape Byron to Casino. ‘We could have gone much higher but we didn’t have oxygen and clearance would be hard to get because of the jet traffic above us,’ Mr. Sanders said. ‘So we contented ourselves with just soaking up the feeling of literally being on top of the world. ‘Renewable energy isn’t just pie in the sky. It can quietly lift a 700kg glider three kilometres above the earth. Try that with a coal fired power plant.’ www.echo.net.au

Farewell Peter Katims Local selected for Citizens’ Parliament The local jazz community and BayFM are remembering the passionate contribution that Peter Katims aka PK made to our community. On December 5 PK died peacefully at home, aged 66, holding hands with his partner Annie and his only sister Pamela. PK was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in April 2006. Born in the USA, his parents were Milton Katims, an internationally renowned violist and conductor, who was also the protégé of Arturo Toscanini, and Virginia Katims, a professional cellist who toured with the Bary Ensemble. After graduating from high school, PK completed a degree in business administration. After a military stint with the Air Force in Texas he travelled to New York to work in the recording industry with a subsidiary of ABC Records. Following this experience, he trained for and became a stockbroker on Wall Street. 1966 saw PK in a horrible motorcycle accident in NY. This freak accident totally changed his life. In 1969, he left America to travel in other parts of the world. He only ever returned to the USA for periodic visits. During the following years PK lived on a sailboat off the south coast of England, lived in Spain on the island of Ibiza,

and in India. Despite being raised in an affluent environment, PK was always totally comfortable living frugally. PK settled in Australia in 1993 believing that ‘it was the most perfect place on the planet, environmentally, spiritually and politically’. ‘All That Jazz’ was a popular program he presented on BayFM for over four years, right up until a couple of weeks preceding his death. His show supported touring jazz musicians who came to town to play The Blue Birdy gigs. PK was also a key member of BayFM’s programming team. His sister Pamela remembers one of the many lessons she learnt from her brother: ‘Make this journey an adventure, and don’t confuse travel with tourism, or experience with wisdom.’

Mullumbimby resident Peter Clark has been selected as one of the 150 citizens from around Australia to participate in Australia’s first Citizens’ Parliament to be held at Old Parliament House from February 6 to February 9 2009. The Citizens’ Parliament is an initiative of the new Democracy Foundation which will bring together the selected 150 Australians to deliberate on Australia’s political system and put up options for reform. Peter Clark was selected at random from more than 8,500 people who were invited to be participants of the program and was more than surprised when he was notified. ‘I think it’s a good idea,’ Peter said. ‘Who knows if it will bring about actual reform to the current system but if we don’t start talking about change it will never happen. We have had the same democracy since 1901 – times have changed a lot since then. I think we now have a government that is more prepared to listen.’ In the leadup to the Citizens’ Parliament, Clark attended an initial regional meeting to contemplate the question: How can Australia’s political system be strengthened to serve us better? Participants were then

asked to consider what they perceive to be the limitations of our current system and were asked to put up options for reform that they believe will improve citizen engagement in an online forum. Among proposals for roads legislation, sex offenders, gambling and even the baby bonus, is Clark’s proposal: ‘Two levels of government instead of three. Removal of State/Territory governments’.

Clark told The Echo, ‘I wanted to look at the bigger picture as we were asked to look at how the whole system could be strengthened. Some of the ideas submitted are local or very specific issues and while they are valid I’m not sure how relevant some of them are to the brief we were given with regard to strengthening our democracy. ‘Having said that, I look forward to discussing all the op-

tions with everyone over the four days in February. I am going with an open mind. My idea may be thrown out because a better one is proffered, which is fine, I’m not going there with some objective.’ The Citizens’ Parliament is funded by an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant in conjunction with the newDemocracy Foundation.

Marimbas, mandalas, minstrels, and magical moves… Woodford Folk Festival 2008 Day 1: The annual alchemical gathering of maniacs, brainiacs, climatologists, refugee rhythmagicians, comedians laughing in the face of planetary disaster, carnie artists swallowing crystal swords, aerial antics and literary shenanigans kickstarts with a boom crash massive attack of demon-dispelling drumming from Japanese, Ashanti and Pacific traditions designed to subdue bad weather spirits for the duration. Through a fluorescent feast of gypsy fiddlers, flaming hula hoops, illuminated installations and percussive wind sculptures I head (in retrospect perhaps unwisely) to the Taming the Flame health presentation on the causes of inflammation, precursor to most modern illnesses. Causes which unfortunately turn out to be mainly acid producing foods like caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, dairy products, grains, soy, sweets, red meat, nightshades, most carbs and anything fried – ruling out pretty well everything from Woodford’s half hundred purveyors of delicious vittles and definitely putting me in the mood for the Flames of Discontent concert. Wander through throng of baby buskers, strolling min-

strels, Mongolian throat singers, Nanna Technology’s giant stilt-walking grannies and holidaying fubsies to the opening ceremony where festivillains swear a solemn oath to prop up the tottering economy by spending remains of their dwindling superannuation on Guiness, silly hats and site reafforestation.

divine reasoning, creative order and new directions: ABC’s Jerry Colby Williams’ talk on low carbon living inspires proactive repossession of my vege garden from bush turkeys using their nests for compost. By the time 1pm-3pm small intestine cycle arrives, the air’s pulsating with mouth watering aromatherapies of grilling satay, brewing coffee and sizzling sausages, with strolling punters chowing down giant slices of puffy cheese-dripping pizza. Ravenous, I drive to Grapelands, Elvis Parsley’s fruit store in Woodford and hoover down selections from his Return to Slender juice bar, returning to the Duck and Shovel to savage an Atlantic salmon. The 3pm-5pm hours of the bladder are for relaxing: collapse under tree from coffee withdrawal exhaustion. The 5pm-7pm kidney cycle forbids exercise, recommends chilling with friends – prop up waning energy with Amazonian mate/guarana/spirulina/ gingseng drink, but since none of my friends is on this program they’re all off drinking, smoking, stuffing themselves with tasty carcinogens and shimmying to the devil’s tunes. The 7pm-9pm time of the pericardium’s for feeling safe, so what safer than Kerry on the Couch: Kerry O’Brien, Woodford’s own charming Parkie, interviewing George Negus and Ernie (Racism’s just a pigment of the imagination) Dingo. Through kaleidescopic soundscapes of a Kustarica movie, I drift homeward past wild bagpipes and marimbas, punk opera, log drumming, Serbian drinking songs and enviropoets saving endangered words along the Butterfly Track (butterflies are deaf and

don’t hear the doof) into earplug dreamland, passing out at allotted 9pm-11pm time slot to the distant pounding tom toms of the Chai Tent. Day 3: Delightedly discover Woodford fashion’s not all fisherman’s pants, rainbow felt dreadlocks and shredded sari skirts: there’s also Pendragon’s spectacular boots of multicolour leather leaves with curlicue iron heels, Hoi Polloi’s one off deconstructed reconstructions and Wozwaste’s chic executive satchels made from recycled inner tubes. Small people have their own festival here too with dozens of kiddie options: workshops in everything from hiphop, cooking, singing, circus skills and making music from junk to performances, storytelling, games, magic tricks and interaction with wildlife – all fuelled with healthy food. The mature festival attender’s not forgotten either with loweffort pleasures like bird watching, Buddhist psychotherapy, Kahuna massage, seminars on toxin management and Dr Philip Nitszche’s enlightening chat on dignified death and peaceful pills, his compassionate sendoff machine having been acquired by the British Museum. Would your inner student like to make its own personpowered light-up jewellery, mirror ball or sand mandala? Weave weeds, play tin whistle, dance like a Sudanese nomad cowboy or bhangra like a Bollywood star? It’s all here – and the learning isn’t confined to workshops as Miss K demonstrates the art of condom shopping in a foreign land and a Transylvanian musician shows the back of her instru-

ment, deliberately left rough as a reminder of the tree planted when she was born to grow up with her and become her violin. Under a sweltering sky, favourite oases of refreshing cool are Tenzin Choegyal’s Tibetan expression of enjoying samsara… Soulman’s soothing love songs… watching the big goanna cruising up from the creek undeterred by crowds to investigate dinner possibilities. And best of all Naseem (meaning breeze), a shimmering tapestry of ancient Persian instruments accompanying the Rubaiyat, Omar Khayyam’s 10th century classic: Speak not to me of heavens to come, but live with beauty in this paradise… Then heaven in the bowl of night empties a sudden downpour that turns walkways into waterfalls and my hired tent into a mini lagoon. The cavalcade of cabaret continues with performers from Bulgaria to Bolivia, Sumatra to the Seychelles, Turkey to Torres Strait dancing on as I dance and sing within this ruined tent... and pack. Day 4: Management removes carpet to reveal source of waterworks, and in the ever generous spirit of Woodford an unknown lady Samaritan offers the spare bed in her tiny tent. But as the cajun, zydeco, voodoo blues, bloke folk, gangsta jazz, Polynesian rock, aboriginal rap and juju music play on, with three days gone and half the program still to go, I depart the Peoples’ Republic of Woodford where the drummers drum throughout the night and lanterns shed their friendly light to welcome in the coming year and bless the Promised Land… www.echo.net.au

The Grand Prix tournament which concluded in Elista, Russia, last week, provided a clear indication that the world body FIDE will have to do better if they are to eliminate the scourge of top level chess – the short draw. Recent rules changes make it possible for tournament organisers to outlaw agreed draws but the new rules still allow players to repeat a position three times and thus draw their game. The repetition need not be forced; both players can make a tacit agreement to mark time. At the Elista Grand Prix, after 10 of the 13 rounds, almost all the players seemed satisfied with their tournament standings so all but three games in the final three rounds were drawn, some in very short order. (The three wins were registered by tailenders.) The arbiters had the right to step in and insist that the players continue to fight but none

CHESS by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services, Mon 7-10pm; Mullum Poinciana Café, Sat 2-5pm

had the courage to do so. The outcome was a disappointing three-way tie for first and a huge pack in the middle of the field. FIDE intend to formally change the rules for draws in 2009 but it seems that their solution – barring agreed draws only – is pointless if the players are determined to find a way to draw. The top players argue that they are too financially insecure to fight in every game and if they can secure a certain prize with a draw they should be allowed to do so if their opponent is agreeable. The counter-argument is that chess is nowadays a spectator sport, especially on the internet, and that short draws drive away the audience and therefore potential sponsors. How, it is argued, would spectators feel if Australia

and South Africa concluded a truce after only two days of the third Test instead of playing hard for all five days. There is now a strong argument for FIDE turning to the alternative model of banning all draws before a certain move number – usually move 30 or 40. Recent tests of this rule have been successful – most notably the exciting finish of the 2008 Doeberl Cup in Canberra – except at the Dresden Olympiad, where an exemption for repetitions left a gaping hole through which some top players leaped. Nonetheless, even in Dresden the short draw count was dramatically reduced. This week’s game comes from one of the winners of the Elista Grand Prix, with Teimour Radjabov breathing new life into an old attacking line.

Jo Jo Smith back in town When I first arrived in Byron, Jo Jo Smith was one of the first names I heard. When talking about the local music scene, it was recommended that I catch the lead singer of Hip Pocket, a certain Jo Jo Smith who had

with a heady expectation that was both nauseous and wondrous. Ah, the anticipation. Just what little magical surprise awaits? Within seconds I am drawn to my bed. And there it was. A token of love just for me. Resting on the crisp white linen doona cover was a tiny fluffy grey head with two beady eyes, fixed in an eternal gaze contemplating my lightshade and beside it was a thoughtfully placed small curl of intestine. My cat is always thinking of me. When I go away I generally leave him outside, but this

the kind of honey-toned vocal that made you melt. Sadly for us, Jo Jo left almost a decade ago, but her heart is still here in the North Coast, with occasional trips back to play gigs for her existing and new fans. Jo Jo is coming back to launch her latest album Jo Jo Smith Live @ The Blue Birdy. The album has been receiving rave reviews, and is a collection of originals and covers that have been requested by audience members over the years. Just recently Pete Best in the Herald Sun gave her four stars and gushed: ‘It was radio great Billy Pinnell who put me onto Jo Jo Smith’s music. He described a natural, enchanting voice that easily mastered Pop, Latin, Jazz, Gospel and the undescribed genres in between. Billy was right, and all the evidence is here on Blue Birdy, named after the Byron Bay venue in which it was recorded. Billy hadn’t yet mentioned Smith’s wry song-writing, which dominates this collection. There really is a Leonard Cohen feel to it, and she covers his clever Hallelujah here. Billy might like it. Cohen certainly would. Monica Weightman’s solo is a thing of beauty. Smith’s honest vocals are like a breath of fresh air– in a smokey night club.’ Jo Jo delivers her music in flavors

time I thought, no, I’ll leave a window open so the old fluffer can have the house to himself. Obviously he was grateful, and the decapitated rat’s head was his way of saying ‘Thank you’. Or, was it in fact ‘Fuck You’? Perhaps it’s a feline attempt at a Mafia inspired move. Unable to dislodge a horse’s head, my puss went for the next best thing. Rattus beheadus. You might think I’m paranoid, but I did find the Godfather trilogy stacked by the DVD player, covered in paw prints with telltale orange fur on the remote. Unless I was ransacked

by an orangutan, I’d say this was the work of my marmalade moggy. I don’t think I have ever been so deeply moved by such a personal sentiment. I vomited instantly. In fact, at 6 months pregnant, I couldn’t stop vomiting. And if my cat was around I would have used him to wipe it up. With a stick up his bum he’d make an excellent mop. Fortunately I still have an old fashioned roller bucket, so there’d be no problem wringing him out. I’d even be happy to do it by hand. Starting at the tail and working my way up to the neck.

of Blues, Soul , Funk, R&B, Latin and Jazz. Not to be missed live, JoJo is a dynamic vocalist with the ability to create an incredible intimacy with her audience. A brilliant songwriter and lyricist, Jo Jo is a musician with a love for giving something of herself to her audience. She has sung on many albums and played alongside musical greats such as Renee Geyer, Marcia Hines, Colin Hay, Kate Ceberano, Olivia Newton John and many others. She will be playing with Steve Russell piano, Steve Grieve guitar, Greg Lyon bass and Dave Sanders on drums. Show starts at 8.30pm at the Mullum Bowling Club on Thursday January 15.

Earlier this year The Whitlams released a ‘Best of’ compilation album titled Truth, Beauty and a Picture of You. The album is a comprehensive look at the journey of the ARIA award winning band, from scrappy beginnings and tragedy of the death of two band members to the success and stability of recent years. The Whitlams will perform for the first time at Coolangatta Hotel on Friday. Tickets are on sale now from the venue, OzTix.

The Whitlams are one of Australia’s favourite bands. Their appeal reaches audiences of all ages and tastes.

The Hussies are planning another world tour for next year but in the meantime will be spending plenty of time back in the shire playing a few select shows and compiling new material inspired by their year on the road. The Hussy Hicks live set is a musical extravaganza, touch-

ing upon funk-gypsy through folk/country to high energy blues/roots and with their harmonies and intense rhythms they pump out a heck of a lot of sound for two small girls. In their travels the girls have been widely regarded as a world class live act, having performed alongside artists including Kings Of Leon, Tommy Emmanuel, Damien Rice and Keith Urban and Phil Emmanuel was recently quoted as saying ‘Julz must be the country’s top female player’.

They may not have the Bob Marley dreads or the Rasta coloured clothing but they’ve certainly got the reggae, soul-funk sound. Kiwi-Melbourne based band Bonjah play The Beach Hotel in Byron on Friday. It’s not only the soul satisfying, upbeat tracks that will make you crave more of the five blokes but their truly unique tale of origin and the journey they’ve experienced together. Lead singer Glenn Mossop is originally from South Africa, and the family eventually settled in Tauranga NZ. The passionate musician was fortunate enough to meet two of the locals Regan Lethbridge (guitars, vocals) and David Morgan (bass) who he joined forces with to become a musical trio. For ten years the trio refined their chops in NZ, before ultimately making the move to Melbourne, but not before recruiting Dan Chisholm (drums). Last year the four members of Bonjah became five upon hearing the talent of percussionist James Majernik, who instantly fell in love with their distinctive sound. Bonjah are set to rock Byron on Friday with songs from their new album including their hit Bring Back the Fire.

Maga Bo & Filastine Based in Rio de Janeiro, Maga Bo is a DJ/producer working with an international collision of styles, sounds, location recordings from all continents and beats that have yet to be classified. His sound is an amalgamation of smashed up batucada, rai, capoeira, bhangra, loudspeaker jitter and skewed electronic beats in a borderless conundrum of gritty street sounds, found, stolen and modified rhythms and melodies from Brazil, Morocco, India and beyond. DJ’ing and producing tracks with a portable laptop studio, he has worked and performed

in Africa, Asia, North and South America and Europe. His live performances are a hybrid mix of DJ set and live PA where pirate cassettes bought on the street in various parts of the world, MP3’s from the internet, obscure vinyl found in underground shops, original beats, unreleased remixes and exclusive tracks are selected, juxtaposed and mixed in a unique narrative. He is joined in a very special show by Barcelona’s Filastine. Filastine creates music that bends genre, cutting mutated hiphop with other street rhythms and international obscura to build a new sonic territory defined by nomadism, collaboration, beat science, and massive bass. Thursday January 15 at Hotel Great Northern.

DuOud The Oud is one of the most beautiful and oldest of instruments in the world. A brand new project called DuOud brings it into a brand new century. DuOud consist of two Oud playing Istanbul based musicians; Tunisian born JeanPierre Smadja and Algerian born master Oud player Mehdi Haddab. Blending their North African heritage with the latest Western technology, the pair built a musical cycle that looks to their African roots while absorbing and morphing contemporary music styles – break beats, jazz grooves and metal guitar. While DuOud are not the first to mix the North African lute with electronic technology, they do it with such an imaginative freedom that they are set apart from their contemporaries; their debut album Wild Serenade saw them nominated for the Best Newcomer award in the 2003 BBC Music Awards. They play the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Friday January 16.

The Full Jimmy Jimmy Willing and The Real Gone Hick-Ups is like no other act you’ve ever seen. Compelling and daring to push the boundaries, Wiiling’s band is a stagecoach that he drives perilously into the deep of night. Willing sets his stage in

a one-horse town as The HickUps supply a gripping soundtrack that is the illegitimate offspring of country and punk. Come along for the ride and be transported to a world of lovesick sailors, tomboys fishin’ for catfish and young men laid to rest before their time. Sunday night at the Rails in Byron.

Jumpin with Kangaroo Moon Having just returned from

a series of appearances at Woodford Festival, Kangaroo Moon hop back to Byron Bay for two return performances. With players from all over the world that only meet when the moon is right (a Kangaroo moon of course), the stars and planets have finally aligned to bring some of our favourite brothers back to the shire. Kangaroo Moon play Coorabell Hall on Friday and the Rails on Saturday.

this festival which is now in its third year will be offering patrons the unique opportunity of experiencing some of the world’s best comics in a funky old country hall: namely, The Bangalow A&I Hall. Headline

comics include Brit actor Tom Conti’s daughter, Nina Conti (Thursday 26 March). She is an extraordinary performer who takes the vaudevillian tradition of ventroliquism into a new dimension when she combines

Knowing Your Rites The Starlight Festival is on again, offering a four day healathon where patrons can experience a smorgasboard of therapies, treatments and alternative modalities. One of the featured therapists is Amrita Hobbs, who conducts a session that she refers to as Rites of Passage. Amrita helps people move through the issues that are stopping them from moving on. She laughs and admits that she helps people become ‘unstuck’! ‘I paint a picture of our lives and describe it like a carpet. It’s like we have a blueprint when we come into this earth, it’s beautiful, but as we grow up the patterns can go out of kilter. If we go back and redress these tunes when it has gone out of shape, we can see how it ends up affecting the whole carpet, and ends up defining who we are.’ So just how does Amrita unstick the stuck? ‘I had one woman who was having horrible menopausal symptoms. She did the workshop and they just stopped. In the workshop she came to a place where she accepted where she was in the wheel, or where she was in the tapestry. She told me that it just stopped.’ For Amrita, the turning point in her journey as a healer was being recognised as an elder. Our lives are so lacking in rites of pas-

sage that Amrita Hobbs Amrita believes that we often don’t reach or even realise our full potential. ‘I didn’t get that I was a woman until later in life. I always felt like one of the girls. I know a woman who at 82 still saw herself as a girl. Rites of passage can help us see ourselves for who we are. When you are an elder you have responsiblity in your community, especially for the children.’ Amrita is currently involved in a project with Michael Balson researching and documenting the sexual culture of our young people. ‘My vision is to build this community,’ smiles Amrita, ‘but to do that we need to gather the village around and hold them (the kids) in.’ A lot of Amrita’s work is around initiation. I asked her how she defined initiation in a contemporary western culture. ‘Sometimes people define it as when you start shaving or get a driver’s license, but for me it’s the spiritual shift about how someone sees themselves in the world.’ Amrita will be working with ritual and change at the Starlight Festival of Healing at the Bangalow A&I Hall from Thursday to Sunday. Amrita’s session is Thursday from 12pm - 2pm.

it with her standup. She’ll be joined by Kitty Flanagan and Dave Williams. Friday night’s feature (March 27) is the bloke every girl would love a date with, the funniest man still alive, Arj Barker. US born he’s one of the most loved performers on the international circuit. He’s outrageous, unstoppable and one of the finest examples of well crafted standup on the planet. Saturday night (March 28) the Big Joke welcomes Tim Minchin, a bloke the Age raved: ‘Simultaneously an excellent standup comedian, a purveyor of physical comedy, an accomplished musician and a lyricist of diabolical ingenuity. Witty, smart, and unabashedly offensive.’ He’s currently in Oz promoting his documentary Rock N Roll Nerd and is a feature at Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals. Tim performs his 100 minute one man show on the Steinway for the Big Joke. The three headline shows have limited seating, and it will be a case of first in first served. Tix are available at Jetset in Byron Bay for $47.50. Tix can be purchased on 6685 6262 or email byronbay@jetsettravel.com.au

Theatre: You stupid Twit! Back by popular demand! Mr and Mrs Twit are obnoxious characters created by the wonderfully wicked Roald Dahl. The play, The Twits, was enjoyed by hundreds of children and adults in July last year. These holidays The Twits are being brought to life on stage again by the Byron Bay Theatre Company, to the delight, and disgust, of children. Set in a circus ring, this adaptation by David Wood brings Dahl’s

ideas cleverly to the theatre and has the confidence to add something new. Bored with playing silly tricks on one another, the grotesque Mr and Mrs Twit turn their attentions to capturing and training a family of monkeys, The Muggle Wumps, for a circus act; but the birds, led by the Roly Poly bird, have other ideas. Eleven young actors from the Byron Shire, ranging in age from 8 to 17 play the roles of the monkey family, the chorus and the birds. The youth are learning new and exciting theatre skills under the guidance of an experienced crew of theatre practitioners; Sandesh Gibney (director), Mandy Morris (Roly Poly Bird, assistant director), Avikal (Narrator), Linda Rutledge (Mrs Twit), Craig Hearps (Mr Twit) and Iris Ray (Producer) who give of their time and effort for the love of creating theatre for people to enjoy. The show is also graced by the brilliance of local designers Romy Dingle and Kylie Stoddardt who have worked tirelessly to create the set, (which has to be turned upside down), the costumes and the birds. Shows are twice daily, at 11am and 2pm, Wed 14, Thurs 15, Fri 16, January 2009. And Sat 17 show at 2pm only at the Byron Bay Community Centre. Tickets at Santos Byron Bay and Bookshop Mullumbimby. $12 children , $15 adult and $50 family.

FREESTYLERS Aston Harvey from the Freestylers is holidaying in Byron Bay and will be playing a DJ set at the Great Northern’s Backroom this Friday. It is a one off show for Australia this time ‘round, until the duo, Matt and Aston, hopefully come back to tour with their new album! ‘Looking forward to dropping some new records,’ the ‘Freestyler’ says; and hopefully Aston will spin some tit-bits of the album they’re currently working on. ‘We’re piecing together a kind of “Best Of” album at the moment, so I’ve been writing some new tracks to add to that.’ The Freestylers have become a household name and have sold over half a million records hitting the charts with B’Boy Stance and the top 20 hit Push Up. The Jungle Book sound track was the first record Aston ever bought, ‘I was the original Junglist’ he jokes, but Public Enemy, Afrika Bambaataa and the Beastie Boys had a major influence on Aston too. The Freestylers’ sound mashes a multitude of styles into a unique British concoction. ‘Our sound is pretty raw; raw and very instant. Basically it's like breaks for the masses,

but as we've both got pretty eclectic tastes we bring a whole spectrum of influences from the seventies onwards. Hip hop heads come to see us but so do ravers, reggae fans... it's quite mad really – two funky white boys bringing all these people together.’ Q: What sound is fresh to your ears? A: ‘Feeling a lot of this fidget bass line house stuff with artists like the Crookers and Fake Blood injecting a new flavour into house.’ Q: Dubstep and Grime, spot the difference for us please? A: ‘Dubstep is normally instrumental, that's half the tempo of house or breaks whereas grime is more vocal and more up tempo. I would say it's more associated with the British rap scene and has a definite unique British style to it.’ Q: Has Public Enemy influenced you just musically or also politically? A: ‘I would say only musically. I used to love all the old samples they would use to create their music.’ Q: Were you star struck when you met the Beastie Boys or is your own popularity preventing you from such behavior? A: ‘Yes, when I was a kid they were the only group I ever wanted to meet. I managed to get a photo with Mike D when we did the Big Day Out tour, would've preferred to have been introduced to him properly rather then going up to him and being star struck.’ Q: Do you ever find yourselves compromising new compositions or do you feel that your popularity has given you a free

Aston Harvey at the Great Northern Friday

PROUDLY PRESENTS

Story: Wonder Tales Local storyteller, Jenni CargillStrong is giving two free storytelling performances for families in the coming months. The shows will launch the newly revamped cover for her first award winning kids CD, Wonder Tales of Earth and Sea and is called Molly Whuppie and other wonder tales. Why the change? Well, both Jenni and her partner Max (aka Salty Pete the Pirate) plan to release new CDs in 2009. In preparation, Jenni has chosen a style to use throughout The Storytree Company childrens’ series. Down the track there will be a Storytree boxed set. Jenni will perform stories from Molly Whuppie and other wonder tales and The Mermaid’s Shoes in the new Nature’s Child store for free on Saturday 14 February at 10.30am, 1 Banksia Drive, Byron Industrial Estate.

license to explore a more risky approach? A: ‘I don't feel we compromise, we always try to create something different and because we're influenced by so many styles of music it can be a bit risky sometimes. I think if we're enjoying making and listening to the track in the studio then that's the most important part of the music making process.’ Hosting the night is English label Against the Grain who moved their HQ to Byron Bay early 2008. Aston will be DJing alongside head honcho of the label aka Skool Of Thought who, getting into a hybrid sound of dubstep and breaks, is teaming up with Tayo for a new label called Cool & Deadly, look out! www.superchargedmusic. com If you’re up for some proper fat ‘n’ filth go catch Freestylers’ Ashton this Friday along with Skool Of Thought (UK) and local DJs Ego and Gravy. Get this bargain $35 from oztix.com.au or the Great Northern now! Where have all the locals gone? Exodus Cyber Tribal Festival that’s where! Presale tickets to this organic electro performance art event are still available at All Vision & Music, Etnix, Fairy Floss, Liquid Nightclub, Psy-Co, Yamis and Music Bizarre. Greentix will plant a tree for every online ticket purchase and Exodus tickets are printed with soy ink on 100% recycled paper, www.exodusfestival.com. Exodus is part of a never ending story that dances across the land and it’s about time you checked it out!

senility to infancy. His mother dies in childbirth, his father abandons him at an old people’s nursing home and Queenie, a coloured employee there, finds him and raises him as her son. His soul mate will be Daisy, whom he meets when she is just a child and he a wizened codger, and the story is told in flashbacks from her deathbed, through the pages of Benjamin’s diary. We’re all familiar with the voice-over reading us into the period being charted, but here the device somehow prevents you from being in the present with Benjamin. This detachment is compounded by a performance from Brad Pitt that relies too heavily on his natural charm and beauty (even as a septuagenarian he’s cute), Cate Blanchett’s peculiar unsuitability as a romantic lead and the episodic format. There is stunted Benjamin having a hoot, Lautrec like, in the bordellos of New Orleans, Benjamin going to sea on the tugboat Chelsea (whose cheroot-chewing captain speaks with an incomprehensible Irish brogue), Benjamin being seduced by the English lady when in Europe (an inordinately long segment of little consequence) and (for the Henson/Lolita hanging judges) the elderly Benjamin getting into mischief under the bed with pubescent Daisy. The chronology is registered in Benjamin’s changing physicality – his arrival at the point where he is once again the golden boy picked up hitchhiking by Thelma and Louse is hurtfully nostalgic for anybody of a certain age – but at no time is his psychological state explored. Next to nothing is learnt of his inner world, he being the same Benjamin throughout, veiling his selfawareness as if he were outside of himself, bemused and helpless. Comparisons with ‘Forrest Gump’ are unavoidable, it also coming from the pen of screenwriter Eric Roth. Benjamin rises from his wheelchair to walk just as triumphantly as Forrest bursts out of his callipers, but the comparisons are most valid at the doling out of the movie’s great lesson; instead of Forrest’s irritating mantra that

‘life is like a box of chocolates…’, we get the whimsical homily of ‘some people were born to …’ Cheese-as-Wisdom is a Hollywood staple, but you fear that director David Fincher has worked against himself in an attempt to be profound. Enchanting but syrupy. ~ John Campbell

a muscle of his face, a delivery style that had me periodically nodding off, only to be wrenched from sleep’s sweet embrace by some explosion or other. And that’s another thing – though the movie was no louder than any other of its type, at about the point where the military is foolishly attempting to disable the giant statue that is boss of the UFO (will those army blokes never learn when they are on a hiding to nothing?), the soundtrack hit a subliminal pitch that caused my ears to ring in

a way that they haven’t since I saw Led Zeppelin at Olympia in the dim mists. John Cleese has wrangled prominent billing as a big star in the credits, but the Minister for Silly Walks appears for only five minutes, pretending to be a genius Nobel laureate who listens to Bach and hits it off with Keanu as they resolve some hitherto unfathomable equation. Why the little black kid who looks destined to grow up to be Andrew Symonds is involved is a mystery. A mish-mash of a dozen similar flicks, it most resembles a souped-up Doctor Who, without the great theme music. That is, pretty hopeless. ~ John Campbell

The Day The Earth Stood Still Some folks, deep down, are content in the knowledge that, no matter what, Earth will keep turning and supporting life. Angst that it won’t cater to our species is not worth a hill of beans. Are conservation and evolution mutually exclusive concepts? Whatever – if the Australian cricket team can fall then so most certainly can homo sapiens [sic]. Keanu Reeves arrives from outer space on a mission to eradicate human beings – ‘if you die, the planet survives.’ A fair call, you’d think, but he hasn’t taken into account the persuasive nature of our gentler sex. Jennifer Connelly is a lecturer in biological sciences at Princeton University. Her expertise is enlisted by top secret US brass to help counter the threat posed by Keanu and the billions of rapacious, selfreplicating metallic insects that will be unleashed from within the shimmering orb that has lobbed in Central Park. (Where else could it possibly land?) It would have made a nice change if the part of the academic responsible for humanity’s fate had gone to a frumpy old boiler and not a svelte young beauty, but that would not have allowed for the weird alien to become sympathetic to her cause. Keanu talks in a slow monotone and, remarkably, manages to never move

REVIEWS

For the entree Judy had carefully wrapped small pears in thinly sliced prosciutto then roasted them in nothing more than a little olive oil. She served them with a soft blue cheese, the sweetness of the fruit and the fattiness of the ham composing their own syrupy dressing. Parcels of food are part of the inventive fun of cooking, offering up as they do the tiny shock of surprise with the disclosure of the treat within. it was possibly the prospect of Christmas with all the gift-wrapping entailed which suggested parcels to Judy – certainly the pears tasted like gifts, something special and thoughtfully contrived. And while the style of cooking I favour – and the food I prefer – will always remain firmly in the simple uncluttered category (the ingredients speaking for themselves, their integrity shining through rather than messed up with) I love equally the process of culinary creation with all the effort it may involve. Pastry in all its permutations is the obvious wrapping but the problem with pastry is that it consists of frowned-upon calories and gluten. A shame really, because fillo pastry in particular results in food parcels especially divine. I feel I am an expert here: both my sister, who with regularity wheels out at dinner parties her lamb fillo parcels and her chicken fillo parcels, and the man I love who is constantly inventing new and fabulous ways of encapsulating food in fillo ensure that I am kept abreast of this strand of culinary parcelling. The exquisite fineness of fillo pastry with its buttery, ephemeral leaves-for-layers lends itself to perfect wrapping. Rice paper, on the other hand, resolves those dubious issues immediately. Back in my Sydney days I once fancied an oafish surfer; the first date was to be at my flat and I agonised long and hard about what to serve, apart from lots of ice-breaking alcohol. Eventually I came up with the notion of rice paper rolls that we would assemble together, my sole preparation being the finely julienned carrots, the enoki mushrooms, the sprouts and coriander and blanched prawns that I arranged in a row of small bowls. Sheer genius: the two of us sat companionably, amiably

dunking the rice paper discs into warm water then manufacturing our evening meal, tension, shyness and the eventually emerging fact we had nothing in common diffused sweetly in the process. And of course that was dinner, a light and satisfying repast rendered more meaningful by the fact we had whipped it up – wrapped it up – together. Some vegetables make good wrappings. Vine leaves (not strictly speaking a vegetable, perhaps) are well known most notably in dolmades, those gorgeous oily little parcels of Greek provenance stuffed with rice-bound fillings. Blanched spinach, silverbeet and lettuce can be used as casings for moist interiors. Grilled eggplant and capsicum curled around cheesey, nutty, herby stuffings of ham or chicken or fish creamy with bechamel or ricotta. Thin slices of veal enshrouding spicy sausage, sage leaves, pureed olives, egg and parmesan, a toothpick pertly added to ensure the little parcel will not undo in the pan-frying. There are crepes and there are wonton wrappers. There are piroszki and pelmeni, tortelloni and cappellaci and ravioli. There are banana leaves and there is caul. There is much more than I am doing justice to here – but there is also this quite extraordinary recipe, taken from a 17th century book on home economics by Italian Vincenzo Tanara, for anyone who might have access to a couple of pigs’ bladders. LARGE HARD-BOILED EGGS ‘An egg as big as the head of a man may be made in this manner. Separate the yolks from the whites of twenty five eggs, and beat the yolks well with a whisk, one at a time. The wellbeaten yolks are put into pig’s bladder; the bladder is sealed and immersed in a boiler full of boiling water until the yolks are quite firm. This great hard-boiled yolk is then removed from the bladder and placed in another much larger one, which already contains the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, and this is then sealed, taking care that the yolk is well covered by the whites. The bladder is tied up with string and dangled in the boiling water until the eggwhite hardens; then this last bladder is finally removed, leaving a huge hard-boiled egg.’

LITTLE TARTS Portuguese custard tarts are little egg tarts which evolved from ‘pastel de nata’, a traditional Portuguese pastry consisting of a custard filling with a caramelised creme brulee-like consistency in a puff pastry case. They became incredibly popular in city cafes during the nineties and remain so to this day – and now they can be found at Red Ginger in Jonson Street, Byron Bay.

ST ELMO’S ON FIRE Sarah and Ben Musu of Bayleaf Cafe in Byron Bay are about to open an exciting venture in the new development behind the Hotel Great Northern. Their original plans for a Suffolk Park eatery fell through late last year due to car parking issues – but this new site promises much more, with a kitchen opening out on to Lawson Lane, Fletcher Street frontage and a rear deck which backs on to the swimming pool. The proposed name is St Elmo and it is to be a European-style bistro with a menu which offers shared plates alongside individual dishes. The fit-out has commenced and they hope to be up and running by the end of February.

‘Log On’ for safety in the shire’s waters Land locked local shines at Seacliff Every year NSW volunteer marine rescue organisations go to the assistance of up to 2,000 boats carrying between 4,000 and 5,000 mums, dads and kids who need some kind of help on the water. This ranges from the relatively simple such as running out of fuel, to the extremely serious like a fire or sinking boat. Smart Skippers can reduce the risk to themselves, their friends and families when they go boating, with the Volunteer Marine Rescue Safety Net. The most important principle of the Safety Net is to ensure the volunteers know you’re out on the water for the day. You do this by using your marine radio to “Log On” with your local volunteer marine rescue base when you leave for your trip, whether it’s a quiet cruise up a lazy river or a run out to the offshore fishing grounds. There are 56 radio bases on the NSW coast, several thousand trained men and women and proven boating safety procedures ready to help keep every skipper and boat in the marine rescue Safety Net. Locally we have two groups who provide this service; the Cape

Byron Coastal Patrol and the Brunswick Valley Rescue’s Marine Radio Base. When you call in to ‘Log On’ the patrol radio operator will take some key details of your boat and your trip, including when you expect to return. Then when you return, you simply radio in again and LogOff after a good day out. This is what happens most of the time, but if something goes wrong, the volunteer marine rescue Safety Net means that someone responsible knows you should be back and will begin to take steps to locate you. Deputy Tower Coordinator for the Brunswick Heads Valley Rescue Marine Radio Base Penny Fuller, says that skippers can pre-register at the tower or by phone. ‘We currently have about 300 vessels registered permanently and we receive many short term registrations over summer,’ says Penny. ‘People can pre-register by phone or visit us at the tower between 6am and 5pm. It only takes a few minutes and this saves us a lot of time later on. We simply need the boat registration, a head count on the vessel, an on board mobile contact, a shore

contact and an estimate of the return time. It is important for safety that we have these few details. Already since Christmas we have had to assist a few boats.’ Division Commander for the Cape Byron Coastal Patrol Pete Stynes, says that many types of vessels register. ‘The local fishermen and kayak schools let us know when they are heading out,’ says Pete. ‘We keep in touch with boats that anchor in the Bay overnight and many passing boats check in with us as a point of contact and to find out about weather conditions.’ Pete also says it is important to check and upgrade all safety gear. ‘Make sure life jackets and all communication devices are working well before you leave shore and let someone know you are going out.’ For more information about local services or how to register visit: www.vrabrunz.org or www.coastalpatrol.com.au and follow the links. You can contact the Byron patrol on 6680 8417 and Brunswick on 6685 0148 and VHF22. Both of the local services monitor channel 88 on the 27MHz band and VHF73.

Land locked local Duncan Dey sailed his boat ‘in a frenzy’ to 5th place in the 2008-09 NS14 NationalChampionships held over New Year at Brighton Seacliff Yacht Club, Adelaide. The Mullumbimby sailor had an eventful trip to the south coast and pre-race luck didn’t seem to be on Duncan’s side as his car blew a water pump at Hay midway to Adelaide and he lost 30 hours repairing it, meaning a late arrival for the first race at Seacliff. Fortunately the overall race tally counts only 7 of the nine events and he could shine for the remaining races.

Duncan’s regular crew couldn’t make the regatta so Daniel Hawke from Sydney stepped into the vacancy, a tough call as he and Duncan hadn’t sailed together before Race 2. Duncan had a great time at the event and enjoyed the full on sailing. ‘Our best results were two second places on Race 5,’ said Duncan. ‘Unfortunately we infringed another boat during one of those two races and were disqualified from that race. That put us in a “no fuses left in the drawer” situation and we had to behave for the last three races.’

Peter Laverty is again hosting a golf day at Mullumbimby Golf Club on Saturday with all profits going to the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad. This is the 5th year the event has been staged, growing every year and will this year for the first time include some great sporting memorabilia donated to the cause, which will be sold at a live auction from December 30 to January 17. The live auction will be staged at Mullumbimby Golf Club and the public are invited to participate.

Some of the items for auction are sports memorabilia including a Peter Brock Panoramic photo, a 1996 Manly Celebration photo signed by Cliff Lyons, a 1981 Parramatta Celebration signed by Brett Kenny, the Legendary 1969 Balmain team photo, a Karrie Webb signed photo, and a limited edition Angels live photo signed by the original five band members just to name a few. For more info about the golf day or the live auction items, phone Matthew, 0418 161 199 or 6684 2398 for details.

One treatment can be life changing. The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

High business taxes A study by the Institute of Public Affairs has found that a typical medium size business in NSW will pay $27,000 more in State taxes than the same businesses in other States, according to Ballina MP and Shadow Minister for Small Business & Regulatory Reform, Don Page. ‘The tax imposed in NSW is 7% higher than the average across all six states and 14% higher than in Western Australia,’ he said. ‘NSW is uncompetitive in terms of payroll tax, land tax, stamp duty and motor vehicle registration which is one of the main reasons business in NSW is really struggling. ‘ These higher taxes slow business growth, reduce investment, and stifle jobs growth in NSW. In Queensland payroll tax is 4.75% compared to NSW at 6% and the threshold in

NSW is $623,000 compared to $1m in Queensland. Is it any wonder NSW businesses are setting up in other States like Queensland when their tax regime is so much lower? ‘Not only are NSW small and medium business paying more in State taxes than other States, another study found that in NSW these businesses are spending an average 20 hours a week on administration (red tape) compared to 15 hours in Queensland. The NSW Government has to make the NSW tax regime competitive with other States if we are going to kick-start the NSW economy and retain sustained investment here. Under successive Labor governments over the past 14 years NSW has gone backwards in terms of business viability, services and infrastructure provision.’

Men ‘neglected’ by health system A survey of more than 2000 Australian men has found that men are far more likely to attend an annual workplace health check than book a visit to their GP. More than 82 per cent said they would attend an overall health check at work. The need to take health checks to men – rather than hoping men will book an appointment with a GP – is obvious when the survey results are analysed, according to Foundation 49. Some 44 per cent of men admitted they hadn’t seen their doctor in the last 12 months for a check-up because they ‘just hadn’t got around to it’. This was despite the fact that nearly half the respondents had a family history of diseases like cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes and depression.

Health checks Just over half the respondents had an annual health check in the last 12 months, according to the online survey conducted by Foundation 49. Many men described the frustrations of attending a GP’s surgery as a major reason for their reluctance to seek an annual health check. Some believed doctors were more concerned with patient turnaround than actually treating patients; others didn’t trust their GP while some felt an annual health check would waste a doctor’s time. Others resented waiting beyond their appointment time when their lives were already overloaded with commitments. Half said they’d have a health check if they had a doctor they trusted while 35 per cent said they’d go if their wife or partner told them to.

Respondents came from a wide range of ages and socio-economic backgrounds giving the Foundation an excellent snapshot of men’s attitudes to their health. Foundation 49 is a sevenyear-old men’s health initiative of Cabrini Health. The aim is to help Australian men live long and to live well by reducing the number dying from preventable conditions. According to the Chairman of Foundation 49, Associate Professor Gary Richardson: ‘Australian men have been seriously neglected by the health system for too long. The health statistics reveal the true impact of that neglect.

Years lost ‘Every year more than 470,000 years of life are lost to the male population due to premature death from heart disease, cancer, accidents, suicide, alcoholism, obesity and smoking. Imagine the impact of those lost lives on those men’s families, workmates and friends? ‘Currently in Victoria, there are nine women’s health statewide services funded by the State Government, and no funded men’s health services. ‘The Federal Government has recently begun to redress this imbalance through its recent men’s health ambassador program – but so much more needs to be done – and quickly.” ‘I call on Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, to increase funding in male-specific preventive health initiatives – like workplace health checks – and to make it easier for men to take action before they succumb to lifestylerelated illnesses that could be prevented or treated effectively if picked-up early.’

The Byron Shire Echo January 6, 2009 55

Backlash Only three more years to go until 2012 when the nature of time and reality change altogether, or perhaps the machine-made elves take over, if Terence McKenna’s more interesting theories are accurate. In an interview McKenna (1946-2000) told The Echo a lot of what he said was metaphor, but some take it as gospel. And many scholars dispute entirely the cosmic notions now abroad about the Mayan calendar. We suspect 2012 will be pretty much like the year before it and the year after it, with the great mysteries of life and death providing plenty of amusement and terror without the need for ‘extra’ revelations. McKenna’s visionary gene lives on in his photographer daughter Klea at www.kleamckenna.com.

Bruce ‘Joe’ Inglis of Prestige Motors, Byron Bay, writes: ‘I just thought you may like to see one of the many reasons why some of us like to drive Mercedes-Benz cars. That tree, which came down in the storm at Wilsons Creek on Thursday night, is no lightweight. I am totally amazed by the power of these machines to withstand such an onslaught. If there was a person inside this vehicle, I doubt whether they would even have had their hairdo messed up.’ Even if you have a few spare Mercs and a couple of trees, please don’t try this at home.
