Tralala Blip go their radio hearts
Performers and crew in rehearsal for My Radio Heart, opening on Thursday at Lismore City Hall. Photo Jeff ‘My Radiated Art’ Dawson
Inspired by the Marvel comic book series X-Men and arcade video games, My Radio Heart is billed as ‘a love story for the 21st century’. It begins its local season in Lismore this Thursday. Commissioned by NORPA and developed in collaboration with Western Sydney-based Urban Theatre Projects (UTP), My Radio Heart features the internationally renowned Tralala Blip as both performers and composers. Lismore-based Tralala Blip is a collective of differently abled artists
and Cou disc pons oun ts!
who create, produce and perform original electronic music. Using a variety of midi controllers, computers, digital and analog musical instruments, Tralala Blip discover new forms of musical expression that are accessible, experimental and fun. My Radio Heart writer and director Rosie Dennis from UTP and NORPA’s artistic director Julian Louis have brought together acclaimed sound artists Lawrence English and Randolf Reimann (Tralala Blip), and video designer Samuel James. Joining the ensem-
ble is Claudie Frock, who northern rivers locals may know as her alter ego Peggy Pop Art. Students from Wilson Park School in Lismore have also been involved in the creative process, contributing to Samuel James’s video design. ‘As a director I couldn’t ask for a more generous group of performers. They’ve dived into an unfamiliar process and have embraced it with gusto and humour. I think audiences are in for a real treat,’ says Rosie Dennis. ‘It’s a really interesting model, creating work in regional
areas and then “exporting” it to the city, or in our case Western Sydney. So often it’s the reverse; work is made in the capital cities and toured to the regional areas.’ Bookings for My Radio Heart can be made on 1300 066 772 or www.norpa.org.au. Tralala Blip’s debut LP Aussie Dream is available on the Disembraining label at www. disembraining.com. Q See Sharon Shostak’s video of

Council rejects controversial Bangalow DA In a close vote Byron Shire councillors decided 5–4 last Thursday to refuse a development application for a controversial mixed residential and commercial building at 9 Station Street, Bangalow, near the A&I Hall. Mayor Simon Richardson moved to refuse the DA on various grounds drawn from the previous DA for a similarly large building on the site. Councillors for the development then spoke of the inevitability of change and their fears of Council being taken to court. Those opposed raised issues such as bulk and scale of the proposed building, its 11.7m height being above all future buildings in Station Street (to be 9m under the new LEP), its likely influence on the heritage status of the neighbouring A&I Hall and its heavy use of the narrow lane to its east. The staff report on the DA recommended approval but councillors narrowly saw otherwise. The move to refuse was supported by Crs Richardson, Dey, Cameron, Spooner and Ibrahim. Crs Woods, Cubis, Hunter and Wanchap voted against. If successful the development would have included eight flats, three shops and basement car parking for 22 vehicles. During public access town planner Paul De Fina and employee of the developer Bart Elias spoke in favour of the staff recommendation. Bangalow resident and former Byron Shire councillor Jenny Coman spoke against and had the support of several other residents in the gallery. It is expected the developers will challenge the refusal in the Land and Environment Court.

Police reappealing for witnesses after child hit by car in Byron Bay last month Police are reappealing for witnesses to come forward after a child was hit by a car in Byron Bay last month. Just after 6.30am on Saturday February 15, police were called to Lighthouse Road following reports a four-yearold girl had been hit by a car as she walked along the road with her parents. On arrival, officers attached to Tweed/Byron Local Area Command found the girl, who had been thrown down an embankment and sustained a fractured leg. She was treated at the scene by Ambulance Paramedics and taken to Brisbane Children’s Hospital for treatment.
The driver of the car, a skyblue Volvo sedan with whitewall tyres, allegedly fled the scene. Following inquiries, police arrested a 27-year-old woman on Saturday 15 February 2014.
Failure to stop She was taken to Byron Bay Police Station and charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm and fail to stop and assist after impact causing grievous bodily harm.

will reappear at Byron Local Court on Thursday April 10. Officers from North Coast Crash Investigation are now reappealing for any witnesses who were in the vicinity of Lighthouse Road or the car park at the top of the road near the time of the incident, and who have not spoken to police, to make contact with them.
Witness sought Investigators would specifically like to speak to a woman who was offered a ride by the Volvo driver. She is described as of Caucasian appearance, aged in her mid to late 50s, with dark greying hair, about 168cm tall, wearing white joggers and tracksuit pants.
The Ocean Shores Country Club has installed 300 250W solar panels; the system is expected to produce 115,000kWh annually which amounts to savings of around $28,500. As well as enjoying the federal government rebates of more than $58,000, the club is making a strong effort to reduce its overall environmental impact. Last week SAE Group electrical engineer Chris Taeni, solar installer Corey Hemming and Country Club manager Andrew Spice took a bird’s eye view of the project. Photo Eve Jeffery
Council lobbies govt on marine sanctuaries Story & photo Eve Jeffery
Byron Shire councillors resolved last Thursday, on the basis of a mayoral minute, to write to state government leaders expressing their concern over the current review of the NSW Marine Estate. The letter will ask the recipients to recognise the ‘enormous benefits’ that the Cape Byron Marine Park and sanctuaries provide to local economies and businesses in the Byron Shire; and to accept a statement on the environmental benefits by 222 marine scientists. The recipients include premier Barry O’Farrell, minister for the north coast Don Page, environment minister Robyn Parker, and fisheries minister Katrina Hodgkinson. Mayor Simon Richard-

son is passionate about the park and wants to ensure it remains a sanctuary. ‘This for me isn’t about political grandstanding,’ he said. ‘This is not about trying to identify one part against another; this is simply about trying to get science-based decisions supporting envi-
ronment-based outcomes. ‘It’s that simple. Clearly we all know the political identification on both sides of this discussion but all I am asking is “Can we look at science?” ‘Even though I was sheepish about the paper waste, I deliberately included the [information from] 222 scien-
tists from around Australia and around the world who put their name to the call and to the letter requesting that science rule this discussion, not one or two minor party members who have got a balance of power, who are looking to fish or shoot anything they can.’ Cr Richardson went on to say that the marine park is crucial for breeding and habitat and that when such areas have a trial reintegration of fishing, the impact it has on the marine life is immediate. ‘This is not about antifishing,’ he said. ‘This is about preserving stock that fisherfolk can then rely on to be there in 50 years.’ The motion was put to the vote and declared carried. Cr Cubis was the only councillor to vote against the motion.
Feral animal trapping program begins

Byron Shire Council’s feral animal program has recommenced and is targeting wild dogs, foxes and feral cats. This is the third year the program has been run and Council says it has been well supported by landholders across the shire. Over the past two years Council has engaged a professional trapper who has trapped 122 wild dogs, 46 foxes and 16 feral cats. Byron Shire landholders experiencing impacts from feral animals on their property are invited to be part of the program. Participating landholders are required to
contribute towards the cost for any animals trapped on their property. Council’s team leader of natural environment, Angus Underwood, said as feral animals don’t stop at property boundaries, landholders are encouraged to talk with neighbours to co-ordinate a larger-scale response to feral animal impacts. ‘This increases the effectiveness of the program,’ he said. ‘It’s also the preferred time of year to undertake wild dog trapping. If we can reduce the numbers of wild dogs now, there will be significantly fewer litters of puppies in the spring.’
Landholders are also reminded to ensure domestic animals are cared for responsibly and are not left to roam.
Koala deaths ‘Domestic animals can have a significant impact on wildlife with dogs being responsible for many koala deaths each year. Even a bite from a small dog can cause an infection that leads to death,’ Mr Underwood said. ‘Cats are known to prey on birds, lizards and small mammals, and should have a bell attached to their collar and be kept inside at night and not left to roam unchecked.’
All wild dog sightings can be reported to Council on 6626 7324 and Local Land Services on 6621 2317. According to Council, the soft-rubber jaw-traps used do not injure the trapped feral animals and following capture the animal is euthanised in line with the Department of Primary Industries guidelines. The soft-jaw traps allow wildlife, such as wallabies, to be released should they be inadvertently caught. Byron Shire Council also has cage traps available for landowners to capture stray cats and foxes. Call the depot on 6685 9300.

Byron Shire C ouncil launched enthusastically into Seniors Week last week. Over 150 people attended the Mayor’s Morning Tea at Ocean Shores Country Club. Nigel Stewart and Uncle Magpie from Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) entertained the audience with a welcome to country and didgeridoo performance. In addition the Brunswick Heads Primary School photography competition was on display, and Byron Shire Youth Council’s Jack Long with U3A president David Ashton gave a humorous talk on the ‘Music We Love’.
Positive ageing Byron Shire Council’s Positive Ageing Award went to Brunswick Heads resident Ruth Fox. Mayor Simon Richardson said when he looked at Mrs Fox’s achievements, he was inspired and exhausted. ‘At a young 88 years, Ruth is an overachiever, a woman who has an obvious love of life, a deep concern for others and a passion for help-

ing where it’s needed. ‘She is a strong community pillar whose rewarding life experiences have seen her become involved with Landcare and environmental issues, international aid, education, local community events and groups, and international exchanges.’ Cr Richardson also congratulated the other award nominees. ‘The strength and depth of senior citizens within our communities is astounding and motivating, and I sincerely thank them for their continued support and love of Byron Shire,’ he said.
Among her many achievements, Ruth Fox was a foundation member of Tweed/ Byron Reforestation Society, one of the first organisations in Australia to promote land care. She has been president of Byron Flora and Fauna Conservation Society and helped to establish Heritage Park at Mullumbimby. She also led the publicity which culminated in the declaration of Border Ranges National Park and Broken Head Nature Reserve.
Melia hopes to compose herself The talented Melia Naughton, one half of the popular northern rivers duo Scarlett Affection, has a dream of becoming a screen composer. While Melia has many musical accomplishments, she only recently dabbled in screen composing and is looking forward to meeting the multi-award-winning screen composer Guy Gross (Eastwest 101, A Few Best Men, Priscilla Queen of the Desert) when she attends the APRA-sponsored Screenworks event ‘Composing For Screen’ to be held at SAE Creative Media Institute on March 31.
Competitive ‘Anyone working in the music industry knows how hard it can be to get ahead and screen composing is similarly competitive,’ said Screenworks general manager Jill Moonie. ‘Getting tips on career as well as on production and technique will help give local musicians and composers a competitive edge.’ Guy Gross is one of Australia’s leading film and television composers. In his early days he composed for chil-
dren’s television animations for his father Yoram Gross, he won a British Academy Award for the score to The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and he worked on the US sci-fi series Farscape. His musical scores cover a huge variety of styles. Guy will present on his experiences as a screen composer, talk about the high-

Local News Hist0rical society to repair big shire map The Brunswick Valley Historical Society has obtained a $1,150 grant from an Arts NSW program, administered by Museums & Galleries NSW on behalf of the NSW government. With the money the society is employing the services of a paper conservator to assess, advise on and treat a large map, possibly made in the late 1940s, of Byron Shire. The map, 2m by 1.6m, was donated to the historical museum in Mullumbimby in 1990 and has deteriorated badly. The museum is open to the public on Fridays and market days. See more at www. mullumbimbymuseum.org.au.
Quota fundraiser success Brunswick Valley Quota Club’s Bush Poets Afternoon held at Mullumbimby ExServices Club was ‘a huge success’, according to organisers. ‘The entertainment was first class, and the very supportive crowd was incredibly generous with their involvement in raffles and auctions. ‘The bush poetry by Ray Essery and Gary Fogarty was superb, the singing by Clelia Adams and Kathryn Jones along with Tracy and Luke Devine was fabulous.’ The afternoon was held to raise funds for an amplification system for Ocean Shores public school to assist a young man with severe hearing issues. ‘Incredibly, we raised sufficient funds to buy the system immediately ($2,430). It sums up the generosity of all involved! The Mullum Ex-Services Club went out of their way to support the function in many different aspects. We can’t thank them enough!’

Fundraiser concert for Mitch In September 2013 Byron local Mitchell Bamping suffered a severe spinal cord injury after he broke his neck in a motor vehicle accident in Bali. The severity of the injury has affected all movement in his legs and most movement in his arms. Mitchell is still recovering from his injuries and is now in Brisbane, in the Princess Alexandra Hospital Spinal Ward, receiving ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. He is due to be discharged from hospital in June 2014.
Spinal cord injuries are not completely governmentfunded and Mitchell’s friends and family are now fundraising in order to purchase a suitable wheelchair and
ramps, hoists, and to pay for further medical bills, ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. The Red Devils Football Club and the Byron Bay Board Riders are helping the family stage a fundraising event on March 29 from 4pm on at the Red Devils ground. The event will include local bands and DJs, barbecue and licensed bar. Find out more on the event Facebook page http:// bit.ly/MitchBgig, including donation details for those who can’t make the event.

Rail corridor a ‘very possible’ bypass Grab The Rail spokesperson Paul Jones says that plans to use the rail corridor in Byron Bay for a town bypass and service road could be feasible. ‘Enquiries to Transport NSW as owner of the rail asset and their agent John Holland, who act as Country Rail property managers, confirm that any proposal by the community for use of the rail corridor would be seriously considered,’ said Mr Jones. ‘While there is legislation
in place that protects the corridor, mechanisms do exist to allow alternative uses within the corridor, including the sale, lease or other arrangement to divest excess land portions. ‘The current study into the Rails to Trails proposition will be pivotal in determining the means and extent to which the rail corridor may be made available for alternative uses ‘Obviously any proposed
shared transport route within the corridor will need to be designed in accordance with standards. The proposed bypass rail corridor within Byron township averages a width of 80 metres – you could land an A380 Airbus passenger airliner! ‘The rail corridor width available will easily accommodate a shared transit route including rail, road, path, trail, parking and bus station.’

Local News Mandy makes boyfriends relationship ready Story & photo Eve Jeffery
The queen of laughing at yourself has produced her second book, in which readers get an insight into her love life. Mandy Nolan’s Boyfriend’s We’ve All Had (And Shouldn’t Have) is an exposé of her romantic herstory and just what went wrong along the way. Writing about one’s past offences isn’t an easy task. It’s not always a laughing matter. ‘I wrote this book twice’, she says. ‘I hated it the first time because it was a linear narrative about my love life. I thought, “Shit, who would want to read that? I am depressed writing it.” So I finished writing it and trashed it.’ Mandy says that trashing it was a cathartic experience.
She decided, after a year’s work, not to publish and started again. ‘That first work became a great resource.’ Mandy says she sees love as a way to learn about life, about people and, most importantly, about yourself. ‘There are many blokes out there who need to be made relationship ready, so without
the constant stream of pissedoff girlfriends doing a little bit of a renovation here and there, how are we ever going to end up with good relationship material? ‘I have one of those now. He would have been a difficult conquest years ago, just as I was. I thank the women that came before me for the
work they did in preparing my almost perfect boyfriend/ husband/partner.’ With chapters including My First, Mr Cheaty Pants, Mr Addict, Mr Big Dick (and Mr Small), Mr Yucky and Mr Shop-a-phobic, Mandy shares the gamut of her exes’ messes and dodgy relationships. What could be more fun? Mandy will host a launch of Boyfriends We’ve All Had (and Shouldn’t Have) with Steve Bisley from 6pm at Frankie Brown’s in Byron Bay on Tuesday April 1 and in Lismore on April 10 from 6pm at the Tatts Hotel with S Sorrensen.

A local girl had a dream come true when she was one of only two applicants chosen from hundreds to make a trip of a lifetime to the Antarctic for two weeks of fun on the ice. Marli Lopez Hope won an international competition at the end of last year with Air New Zealand, who created the opportunity for two people to go the the bottom of the planet to assist National Geographic photographer Jason Edwards capture life on the ice and to help draw worldwide attention to scientific research and the environment in Antarctica. Marli, who is currently studying film and television production in Melbourne, saw the competition on a university website. Marli’s home for the duration was Ross Island with a beachfront view of the frozen Ross Sea at Scott Base, where the average temperature during her stay was -11.6°C. Her first night was spent in a tent on the ice. She says that what we don’t often understand is the importance of the science that

Abbott’s holy war for free speech
Volume 28 #41
March 25, 2014
Politics of protest Australian protesters have it easier than their counterparts in other nations, where in some instances you’re likely to be shot by a government sniper atop a tall building or taken away and tortured. It’s not quite as hurtful to have Tony Abbott pretend ignorance of your protest, as with the March in March, or to be arrested and carted away from the action. In general the police are better behaved than they were in the 1960s and 1970s, though now and then one of their bosses thinks it’s a good idea to send in the heavy squad, such as the NSW State Protection Group, to save the blessed works of capitalism from offensive placards. Protesters, too, have learnt the two main tactics which are helpful in preserving their cause (and their hides) and in keeping up media and public interest: non-violent direct action (NVDA) and playfulness. NVDA imposes discipline upon a movement and upon individuals who might be a tad too keen on ventilating their anger. The anti-CSG movement on the north coast knows the value of this approach – http:// bit.ly/NVDAcsg – and offers a code of conduct and training workshops. Playfulness can cleverly satirise the folly of some ‘matters of great consequence’ and is beautifully embodied in the Knitting Nannas (knitting-nannas.com), who have shown local MPs more than a bit of knit one, purl one while sitting outside their offices. Despite the opinions of affronted politicians and aggrieved captains of industry, protesters are not the ‘noisy minority’. Over the centuries they have often been the forefront of social change movements which bring us positive legislation in the face of initial governmental resistance. Michael McDonald

O
ne consequence of Tony Abbott’s religious upbringing is that he actually appears to believe in his own crusades. Thus when he inveighs against the Labor Party and Greens for failing to support his repeal of the carbon tax, it is not just that they are defying his mandate and blocking one of his key election promises; they are frustrating him in his sacred duty to remove the bane, the curse that is destroying the economic life of the country. No matter that most businesses and indeed the populace in general have long since got used to the carbon tax as they did to John Howard’s GST: they would probably rather it wasn’t here – after all, a tax is a tax – but they have found they can live with it, and indeed some almost welcome its predictability, especially when contrasted with the vagaries of Abbott’s own direct action policy. Holden and Toyota both declared that the tax was irrelevant to their own impending demises as Australian manufacturers, and even Qantas said much the same thing before being hauled into line. And Kevin Rudd’s proposal, that the tax should be replaced with an Emissions Trading Scheme based on the European price of carbon, currently around $6 per tonne as opposed to the arbitrary Australian price of $23 per tonne, would have been a very satisfactory outcome. But Abbott was having none of it: the Satanbegotten tax must be extirpated entirely and forever. You can’t compromise on a crusade. And so it is starting to appear with another holy war, this time on behalf of the more abstract cause of free speech. As the carbon tax must go, so too must section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, the provision that makes it unlawful to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate a
person on the basis of their race. This has become known as the Andrew Bolt provision, after the right wing demagogue fell foul of it in a piece accusing fair-skinned Aboriginal Australians of identifying as fully Aboriginal in order to claim benefits and status. Judge Mordecai Bromberg in the Federal Court found that not only were Bolt’s words likely to offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate the people named but also that they contained a number of factual inaccuracies and distortions of the truth.
the Racial Discrimination Act.’ And interestingly, as Abbott grew more zealous and Brandis less willing to compromise, dissenting voices were raised – not in opposition to the principle of free speech, but warning against the likelihood of opening the door to hate speech. It was pointed out that the Act was very seldom invoked, and only in the most serious cases, those in which it could legitimately be inferred that the insults were intended to cause a public upsurge of ill-will towards their targets on the grounds of their race.
Apart from Andrew Bolt, few if any citizens felt a threat to their freedom of speech. by Mungo MacCallum Bolt was held to have breached the Act and his publisher, the Herald-Sun, ordered to publish a correction. As a result there as a well-orchestrated outcry, led by the neo-Liberal Institute of Public Affairs and vociferously backed by likeminded media commentators, particularly in the Murdoch press, claiming that it was Bolt, not his victims, whose rights had been trampled and abused. Abbott and his now attorneygeneral, George Brandis, joined in, and Abbot promised that 18c would, like the carbon tax, be abolished. It became another crusade. But once again, it was curiously lacking in any real public support. Apart from the right’s cheer squads, few people either knew or cared about the promise: there were no great public meetings, no street marches with enthusiastic demonstrators chanting: ‘What do we want? The right to offend, insult, humiliate and intimidate. When do we want it? As soon as the new government gets around to amending
Aboriginal Australians, unsurprisingly, led the backlash; they had endured it for longest. Professor Marcia Langton hit out vigorously on the ABC’s Q&A program, as a result of which Bolt claimed that she had hurt his feelings so badly that he needed a day off work – a somewhat wimpish reaction for a man seen as one of the media’s leading attack dogs. Warren Mundine, Abbott’s personally chosen adviser on Indigenous affairs, said bluntly that 18c was an important protection that should not be repealed. And the revolt spread to Abbott’s own party room: Ken Wyatt, the first Indigenous member of the House of Representatives, warned that he might cross the floor if 18c was repealed or even watered down. Ewen Jones backed him up and others were murmuring along the same lines. And then a group of ethnic minorities took the highly unusual step of forming a combined delegation to express their own misgivings, The communities involved included Greeks,
Chinese, Koreans, Armenians, Arabs and Jews – the last particularly significant as the Australian Jewish community has generally supported Abbott and his government in return for their own uncompromising backing of Israel. Now some of its leading representatives, Peter Wertheim and Jeremy Jones, warned that changing the law just because Andrew Bolt was miffed by it was not the right thing for the country. But Abbott appeared unmoved. Free speech. he insisted, was an essential foundation of democracy: ‘A threat to citizens’ freedom of speech is more than an error of political judgment.’ But the point was that apart from Bolt, few if any citizens felt that 18c constituted a threat to their freedom of speech; they could still tell racially dubious jokes in their pubs and clubs, they could happily insult anyone they pleased, except that they couldn’t make the insults part of a platform for racial intimidation. The drive for change was coming from the rich and powerful, the dominant forces in society who were permanently secure from the threat of humiliation and persecution. The potential victims, who actually knew what it was like, were the ones resisting. In the end, the legislation has been delayed, with the possibility of at least a compromise: even if it becomes lawful to insult, offend and humiliate, the ban on intimidation may be retained. But the symbolism of dumping the Bolt clause, in whole or in part, sends the message that there are times when the government will be prepared to put aside the commonsense precept of ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ in favour of enforcing an extreme and inflexible ideology – and, of course, looking after its mates.

Letters Dancing thrills
The real guide to recycling I write in reference to Mandy’s SoapBox ‘Radical Rubbish Reforms for the Byron Shire’ (Echo, March 4). Mr Pleasant (aka Mr Fiction) has got his wires crossed on the who’s who of recycling and has been relieved of his duties as waste reduction guru at the Byron Shire Council. You may be relieved to know that Council will no longer be organising the high-vis vest and rubber glove guys to summon you out of bed in the middle of the night if you have contaminated your recycling bin. But we do think it’s timely to set
things straight with a slightly less radical approach while still embracing Mr Pleasant’s enthusiasm and passion for recycling and all things waste. Council does agree with Mr Pleasant that when it comes to recycling, the general public has good intentions and wants to get it right. And as Mr Pleasant said, it’s sometimes just a case of people being a bit embarrassed and reluctant to put their hand up and admit they aren’t sure what goes where. That is where Council fits in. We are here to help make it simple and easy. There is a
recycling guide on Council’s website which will help you to become a good sort. You will also find detailed information on what to put in each bin: www.byron.nsw.gov.au/ recycling-and-waste. Council has also sent Mandy a few recycling tips to share with readers and we are confident that, with a little more education, we can all contribute to helping our environment and see our waste with new eyes – as a resource, something valuable and part of the cycle of life. Mayor Simon Richardson Byron Shire Council

As trustee for the WellWishers Trust, I want to thank the good citizens of the Byron Shire (and beyond) for their generosity in donating enough money to build a well for a village, enabling about 300 women, men and children to enjoy clean, healthy water for the first time in their lives. And nearly $2,000 has been raised towards a second well! This would not have been possible without the driving force of local yoga teacher extraordinaire, Diana Ewing, plus the energy of pupils and

Toxic memes Speaking of ‘Memes preshrunk for your convenience’ (Echo strap, March 18), our language is scattered with mutant memes, many of which have become toxic and act as malware in our discourse. A fine example is the pre-shrunk misquote: ‘ignorance is bliss’.
The infected memes that lurk in our language are increasingly used by sophists to control us. Editors have an obligation to restore our language to the point of intelligibility. Shallow thinking is anti-evolutionary. Do not trust anyone who speaks of ‘certainty’, ‘closure’ or ‘moving on’. They are deluded or would delude. Jim Nutter Main Arm

There are a large number of educational and growth activities in our region and I would like to say thanks to the people who give up their time for often little return to provide these activities. Activities such as martial arts, tutoring, art, sport, horticulture, and the one in which I have been interested for the last nine years: South American Latin dancing. Dancing is great for adults of any age, providing fitness and mental training and social interaction. Studies have shown that dancing is one of the best activities to develop a coordinated body, and defend against health problems including dementia. There is great balance between male and female in dancing. A big thank-you to the Latin dance teachers in our area including Robert, Leyla, Simeon, Tim, Daniella, Kaaran, Eric, Chantelle, Martin, Heather, Jan, Tom, Adrienne, and many more who regularly give their time to create a great dance scene, lessons and parties, teaching salsa, tango, bachata, cha cha cha, rueda and many more styles. Dancing improves one’s fitness, agility, balance, and is good for surf training when there are no waves. It has the sensation of surfing without

Letters/Pin This Up continued from page 11 known as a hand-surfer or a handgun). Recently there has been a rennaisance in bodysurfing with hand-boards, which I cheerfully support. But there has been a proliferation of wooden ‘organic’ boards all of a sudden. These hand-boards can be found in every vaguely surf-related shop in the Shire, and they are a rip-off.
Firstly, the cost is around $180, double or triple the cost of the usual plastic or foam ones. Secondly, they have no safety strap. They are made of wood and are sufficiently heavy to give someone a severe knock if lost on a wave. But the bit that really gets up my nostrils is that they declare themselves ‘organic’. What rubbish. Maybe they are recycled and wooden but

I was having a nice stroll at the mouth of Belongil Creek with my girlfriend the other week. We are in the habit of taking a garbage bag and collecting any rubbish we come upon. That morning we found bottles and one of the stubbies had been broken. It’s bad enough some people leave empties but to smash glass at the beach could lead to a very nasty cut foot and, even worse, kids could run through it. The idiot who did this obviously doesn’t live here and didn’t like the beach and had no respect for other people who enjoy being at the beach. I ask all visitors and locals when going to the beaches: please take a bag and pick up any rubbish you may come across. Better still, don’t leave any in the first place.

Searching for respect Dear Simon Richardson: more than any council I’ve observed for more than three decades the one you preside over is obsessed with ‘respect’, ie everybody being nice to each other. Yet you yourself can be quite disrespectful, can’t you? Last year, for example, you lashed out at me for ‘using the council as (my) playground’. I let you know then that I found this very disrespectful. It implied that I was there simply to have fun at the expense of others. It also implied that I was little more than a naughty schoolboy and that it was your job to put me in my place. Let me make it clear that whenever I am in the council chambers it is you who are the pupil –
if you only had the sense to realise it. More recently you showed further disrespect by telling The Echo that you had abolished question time because ‘certain persons’ used that forum to ‘bully’ and to ‘grandstand’. What is this but a disrespectful personal attack? Your problem, Simon, is that you simply have no idea where I’m coming from so you seek to psychologise me away. This tactic is called ‘playing the man’ or ‘shooting the messenger’. Hans Lovejoy also recently purported to psychoanalyse me, I’m told. I point out to you both that while David Lovejoy and I did have our differences he never once questioned my motives; he
always focussed on the issues as raised. I would ask Hans and Simon to accord me one basic respect: I am entitled to the presumption that I’m acting in good faith until such time as evidence to the contrary emerges. That is the respect with which I have treated you both; our deeper motives should be irrelevant. I have made my knowledge and experience available to those who purport to represent the public interest. My black humour is not frivolity. It is what makes it possible to deal with those who egotistically believe they already know it all. And will not hear. Fast Buck$ Coorabell

of town something of a prison camp feel – all that chain fencing and private security patrolling. Butler Street itself seems to me to be regarded as a kind of no man’s land, with its future being set out as though there were no residents or ways of life that may be impacted on. At least I do not know of any such consultations. I sometimes wonder, usually aloud, ‘Who really runs this town?’ But my reading of history ought to tell me, though the actual names
tend to be clouded. The Stoic emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius wrote (in Latin): ‘The performance is always the same. It’s only the actors who change.’ I’ve been re-reading my book on Chaucer’s life and times in the 14th century – a ‘distant mirror’ for our own era if ever there was! It deals with the Peasants Revolt, the power of magnates and merchants. In those days a mayor (they were always ‘dodgy’) could hang those he deemed continued from page 14

Inconsistency There was a great discussion at Mullum’s Civic Hall about the notion of ecocide and the campaign to have it recognised under international law as the fifth international crime. The local gas-field-free campaign was most conspicuous at this event and held a raffle to raise funds for their worthy cause. First prize was a hot air balloon flight. But how does the air become hot in such a balloon? Gas, of course. I am unsure of whether such sponsorship constitutes co-option but would suggest that this type of profligacy (fossil-fuelled fun flights) is inconsistent with the call to end ecocide. Or is ecocide

TOOT and trails It’s sad that some people are saying TOOT (Trains On Our Tracks) are not supporting a rail trail. This could not be further from the truth. TOOT has been supporting a rail trail beside the tracks, with a light rail commuter service. I live three kilometres from the Mullum train station, so I’d love to be able to ride my bike to the station and jump on a train. While some rail trail supporters are saying they are not ‘anti-trains’, one look at the Northern Rivers Rail Trail Group and Casino Murwillumbah Rail Trail Supporters Group Facebook pages paints a very different story indeed. There are people who are anti-train for their own agendas. The creators of these pages are removing all comments that are pro-train, and not answering our questions about their intentions. This is creating tension and preventing a community discussion on the issue. The whole community should be very worried about

Google traffic ramps up Echonetdaily numbers Echo Publications is happy to report that our online news site Echonetdaily echo.net.au has now been accredited by Google to appear in their Google News search results. This means that a wider readership is much more likely to find news on echo.net.au, substantially increasing page views and naturally increasing hits to advertisers on the site. The average weekly unique visitors to the site for two months prior to Google accreditation was 11,371. The two weeks after accreditation have shown a marked increase with 21,789 and 25,827 unique visitors (average 23,808). We have also just sailed past the milestone of our one millionth page view since relaunching Echonetdaily
the rail trail group trying to change the status of the land. Even though the main intention is to preserve the rail corridor and keep the land in public hands, this is not the way to do it. Dismantling or covering the tracks with a path is not preserving it. And removing the rail’s protected status will allow for other land uses, not just a rail trail. No doubt, developers are keen to buy the land and the
on August 26 last year. We surveyed our online readers in January and found that 90 per cent of the some 450 respondents gave extremely positive feedback for their experience of navigation of the site, coverage of local stories and appearance and content. Other interesting points from the survey include:
government would be keen to make money, even sell the scrap metal. This will make it impossible to preserve the track for future train services. In 2009 a Rail Trail Bill was abandoned because of lack of support from the Greens and Nationals. Thomas George said, ‘This is infrastructure vandalism which we must fight to the last breath’, and Greens MLC and transport spokesperson Lee Rhiannon
• 25 per cent of Echonetdaily visitors only read their news online; • 67 per cent of our readership is female; • 89 per cent live in the northern rivers (that may change with the Google accreditation); • 48 per cent are the owner/decisionmaker of a business; and • close to 50 per cent of the people who read Echonetdaily do so every day. Since the creation of the original newspaper, The Brunswick Valley Echo, in 1986, we’ve been dedicated to improving the news service, the technology used and the benefits to both readers and advertisers. Echonetdaily has proven to be a vital part of Echo Publications’ expanding news reach, along with The Byron Shire Echo, which can also be read online.
said, ‘It is already possible to create rail trails in NSW. Many exist in the Hunter and an Act of parliament was not needed for them to be created. The premise of the legislation is fundamentally flawed.’ With Byron Bay being the biggest tourist destination in the region and the continuing debate about the traffic and the bypass, not to mention climate change, our high growth rate and the highest road toll
in NSW, light rail services on this line should be a local priority. We should protect the corridor for rail, and begin maintaining the tracks and stations as soon as possible. Having rail services as part of an integrated transport plan that includes connecting buses and bikeways will lead to a sustainable future with fewer deaths on our roads. Angie Burgler TOOT, Mullumbimby
Reflections on the shames of March I found it illuminating albeit frustrating that The Echo would publish for two consecutive weeks painted bike-riding nudes for a worthy cause, yet no weighty promotional blurb before the national protest of the March in March rally – what I would have thought an intellectually stimulating Echo article. What a truly titillating insight for us, the alternative media reading laypeople. The March in March event and its objective deserved front page exposure, yet stating inaccurate attendance counts for Brisbane and Melbourne (18–20k, 30–50k, respectively) of easily attained details displayed the first obvious flaw to your editorial zeal. Further, the article lacked noting the national total of well over 100,000, or even segueing into when the last time this has occurred in Australia. Yet, print space was availed to mention a ‘sour note’, and just so we all know, The Echo has it recorded! What was your point in printing and publicising this, let alone above all else? What’s going on in there? I know you have access to the interweb because you have a Facebook page – I investi-

You know, topical engagement, body of research, informative, inspiring, healthily provocative and responsible journalism. Would not Nicholas Shand be somewhat dismayed at the lack of journalistic integrity here? (Watch The Echo Doco: insert political motivation/inspiration for Echo birth and modus operandi here.)

so sorry Mandy felt roughly handled at the rally; nobody deserves that. I can empathise, I felt thoroughly violated, too. Fortunately it was soon over and peace was restored. Thanks for that, Mandy. I want to thank the organisers who did such an amazing job. For anyone wanting to mount such an event in future the environment centre
is happy to help with knowledge of all that’s needed. All in all an amazing day. Thank you, everyone. Robin Harrison Binna Burra Q Byron’s March in March rally sent a clear and strong message to the Abbott federal conservative government – it opposes its social, economic, industrial and environmental policies. Likewise some placards also reminded the rally that the NSW O’Farrell government conservative agenda is similar and must be opposed. Minister Don Page please take note: you’re on notice, and being scrutinised. These conservative governments are destroying and winding back many of the social conditions and reforms that have been part of Australian way of life for decades, won largely by progressive forces for the advancement of, to name a few, working people in industrial relations, women’s rights, environmental laws and protection against rampant development and exploitation. Today many people are joining the dots, and seeing these governments for what they really are: handmaidens
to big business and corporate power. These entities are champing at the bit to unleash their conservative, antiunion, and anti-environment agenda on the Australian public, all under the guise of ‘jobs’ (casualisation, underemployment) and economic growth. There should be no doubt that this populist messaging is a distraction for what the real consequences are as a result of the neoliberal economic policies – rising financial inequality and poverty among Australians, further degradation and destruction of the environment for shortterm profit, at the expense of sustainable industries and quality of life for people and the environment. The March saw a coalescing of ordinary people very concerned about the future, and the need to highlight what these governments are all about. While letting some steam off might be good therapy for some, it needs to be matched with some concrete political action with more people mobilising to fight these moribund political ideologies and reactionary values.

Bluesfest ready to celebrate its 25th year Mandy Nolan
T
his year sees Byron’s most famous signature event, Byron Blues Festival, turn 25. Founded by Keven and Karin Oxford, ‘Bluesfest’ was born back in 1990 as a fourday indoor event at the then Arts Factory (now Byron Brewery), drawing a capacity crowd of 6,000 in its first year. In 1993 the event moved outdoors to Belongil Fields, on to Red Devils Park in 1997 until 2007, when the capacity reached 16,000 attendees per day. After a two-year stint back at Belongil Fields, Bluesfest moved to its permanent home at Tyagarah in 2010. Now in 2014, a quarter of a century on, and under the directorship of Peter Noble (who came on board in partnership in 1994 and by 2009 became the sole owner), the festival boasts up to 17,500 attendees per day with an impressive 45,000 music lovers enjoying Bluesfest each year. The event also has a swag of internationally recognised awards under its belt, including two Robert Helpmann Awards for Best Contemporary Music Festival in Australian (2004/5) and has been many times a finalist for the US-based Pollstar Concert Industry Awards, placing Bluesfest alongside names like Montreux and Glastonbury.
Relaxed It’s just four weeks out from his event and festival director Peter Noble is sitting calmly behind his desk. Someone pops in with a cup of tea, another staff member makes sure his lunch is ordered. Staff are clearly busy, taking calls, selling tickets, making artist arrangements. With the event so close, everything seems incredibly relaxed. Noble credits the longevity and success of his award-winning festival to his team. ‘The people in this office are seriously good,’ he says. ‘You learn in this business that you are fortunate to have a good group of people around you because they are what makes it happen. ‘You don’t hear yelling and screaming here. If someone in the office is overwhelmed, they are encouraged to break down and cry at the desk. We will help them. ‘It’s about having a good vibe and about people who

Peter believes that Bluesfest is on track for at least another 25 years, something which is no surprise when the festival directors for Chicago Blues Festival say to Peter, ‘I wish Chicago Blues Festival was your type of festival. Yours is four times as good.’ work with each other actually caring about each other. Here people can admit if something is not working. We expect mistakes. If you don’t go out there and put yourself on the edge from time to time you won’t achieve anything.’ Peter believes that his staff, largely local people, many trained from the ground up, have created the team behind the event that keeps Bluesfest ahead of the pack. ‘I can’t stop thanking them. We are no longer what we once were. I get the kudos, but our ongoing success is about the brilliant people you have around you. It’s never about one person.’
Surging In an economic climate that has seen many major events close their doors or in financial decline, including Future Music Festival, Big Day Out, Peats Ridge, and Harvest Festival, Bluesfest continues to surge ahead, with Noble confirming that ‘we have fewer than 3,000 tickets left for Friday and Saturday and three-quarters of our sales this year have been season tickets. We are going to have our best year yet.’ Noble says this is on the back of a bumper festival in 2013 that saw numbers reach all-time highs, with ‘heritage’ acts like Santana, Steve Miller Band, Robert Plant, Iggy and
North Coast news daily: www.echonetdaily.net.au
the Stooges, Jimmy Cliff, Rodriguez and Paul Simon the focus of the crowds. Noble believes that it’s events that focus on the destination and the whole experience as part of the festival package that are continuing to thrive. ‘In our industry people tend to make grand sweeping statements. But they don’t look at the whole story. Oneday events seem to have a problem, but the destination events are doing well. In the end it comes down to your product. We know why we are sitting here: it’s because the customer likes us.’ The new site at Tyagarah, Noble believes, has offered Bluesfest a chance to create a unique and evolving festival experience.
‘Forever approved’ ‘You are not loading into a rented ground any more, dealing with the pressure to set up quickly. Here we have an opportunity to work on the site. I can congratulate Byron Council as we have our DA now, forever approved.’ But having a site doesn’t come cheaply. ‘We have the carparks finished this year. We now have sealed roads running to the end. That costs hundreds of thousands of dollars but it means if you have a rain
event you can pull onto a sealed road. ‘We have more waterproofing this year; we have a new stage. Areas that were tea tree are now being prepared for camp grounds. Of course it will take a year and a half for the ground to settle and for the work to begin but that is how we are working – looking towards the future and making a better and more comfortable festival for our patrons.’ Rain has long been an issue for the event, which occurs in the middle of what is usually the area’s peak rainfall months. One of the dire predictions for the Tyagarah site was the management of rainfall and run off. It’s something that Peter believes his site engineers have tackled successfully, and it leaves him feeling confident that the festival is ‘watertight’ no matter what the weather. Peter Noble also believes that he has found the ability to strike the right balance between lifestyle and his passion for festivals. ‘You have to spend enough time in your office, and with your family and in your relationship. As one of my Buddhist mates says, you can have the biggest car and the biggest house but at the end of the day the hole in the ground is still the same.’ One of the key figures behind Bluesfest who helps keep Noble focused on the task at hand is his partner of 15 years and general manager, Annika Oman. ‘It’s good being in a relationship with someone smarter than you are,’ laughs Noble. ‘We have been friends for 25 years. I knew her since she was very young; we are
godparents of each other’s children. Her husband was my best friend, and after his death we became close.’ ‘We have our moments,’ says Annika, who is clearly focused on pressing matters at hand in the office beyond Noble’s door. ‘I am in awe of her ideas,’ says Noble, ‘like her idea of upselling the festival. It worked. Just one idea.’ Annika is businesslike about her approach to festivals year in year out. ‘You prepare for it, you know you are going to have to push it home some way or another, and you learn a lot when you are doing something for ten years. You learn how to speak to your members. I take a very personal approach.’ And that’s a lot of talking, considering Bluesfest has 105,000 members, and climbing. How do Noble and Oman cope with the stress of the financial pressure festivals present? ‘I am a totally positive thinker,’ says Oman. ‘You can’t let it get to you.’ Peter laughs: ‘Yeah, she says it’s going to be fine, even
when the trend isn’t showing that!’ ‘I picture what I want in my mind. You don’t want to have sleepless nights over weather and ticket sales.’ Oman is gone, back into the fray of phone calls and artist callsheets, databases and site management. Noble has programmed a very different Bluesfest for 2014. ‘We’ve never had a year like it,’ he says. ‘We have Erkyah Badu, Grace Potter, Joss Stone, Beth Hart, Kate Miller Heidke, Clairy Browne, Indie Arie, my favourite ever of Bluesfest, Saidah Baba Talibah out of Canada, KT Tunstall, Valerie June – and Trixie Whitley – Chris Whitley’s daughter. She is sensational.’ It’s an impressive lineup of women blues artists, something Peter suspects has to do with the four-to-one women-to-men ratio he has in his office. ‘Guys are good,’ he laughs, ‘you just don’t need to have too many around!’ Q For ticketing and pro-

WHEN SHE WAS JUST 15, THE SOON-TO-BE SOUL-SINGING SENSATION JOSS STONE WENT INTO THE STUDIO TO RECORD HER STAR-MAKING DEBUT ALBUM THE SOUL SESSIONS. IT WAS A STUNNING OFFERING TO THE WORLD, SHOWING THAT THIS LITTLE GIRL COULD SING THE BLUES WITH AS MUCH CONVICTION AND POWER AS ANY FULL-GROWN WOMAN.

In retrospect Stone laughs at the industry amazement at her ability to slip so easily into the mindset of a blues chanteuse. ‘When I was younger people would say to me: how could you sing these songs? You are so young and the songs are so emotional! I couldn’t be more emotional than I was at that moment! I was a teenager; it’s the perfect time to sing blues!’ A decade on from Soul Sessions Joss returned to the studio with the man who signed her at just 15 years of age, Steve Greenberg, to do it all again: Soul Sessions Volume 2. ‘It was completely different this time,’ says Stone, ‘apart from the fact that it was covers – that was the theme we kept, but everything else was different. I liked it. When you sing other people’s songs you don’t have to agonise about them. You don’t have to write. You just have fun! ‘The Soul Sessions Volume 2 includes versions of classic tracks such as (For God’s Sake) Give More Power To The People (originally recorded by the Chi Lites) and The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind) by the Dells, as well as stunning future single The High Road – a stone-cold soul makeover of Broken Bells’ cult hit. Other stand-outs include a classy version of Womack & Womack’s Teardrops and a laidback take on Sylvia’s Pillow Talk. The first single from the album will be the uptempo summer sound of While You’re Out Looking For Sugar, originally recorded by The Honey Cone. So what was it like for young Stone negotiating a tricky industry at such an early age? ‘It was hard work, but I don’t think I ever felt of my depth really. I felt scared a couple of times, but comfortably scared in a way; it’s not like a horrible thing – it helped me continue. It wasn’t the kind of fear that would have stopped me from walking forward – and besides, I didn’t have any other calling; I hated school and I didn’t want to go back.’ Stone credits her mother and the good advice of the team who gathered around her for helping her find her feet in the music industry. ‘Becoming successful can be a dangerous game to play, especially when you are so young. It can totally mess with you. My mum stuck around until I was 17; she didn’t disappear as my mother, but up until then she was working as my manager. She was doing it because she loves me, not for any other reason. Those reality TV shows are a worry; they take all types of people and throw them into being famous quickly, and some people aren’t mentally prepared for it, they take things too seriously. I never read my own criticisms, I don’t’ pay attention. I don’t believe the hype. I think
when you don’t believe it you can stay normal. It’s not that extraordinary anyway. It just happens to be the right time for what I have to give. You can’t turn into a fan of yourself. That’s weird and there’s no perspective there!’ Stone is as natural offstage as she is onstage, an effortless approach that seems to translate into her songwriting. ‘I wish I could play an instrument, then I think I would write all the time! A lot of the time I will be driving in the car and I will hear a song and write over that; it gives me something – it inspires a story, which inspires a lyric. I love to co-write, I love to bounce off someone!’ So how does Joss Stone maintain the enormous energy and emotion that she packs into a performance? ‘You have to hold on to a moment; you learn little tricks. I pretty much hold it all in until I am ready to sing, and that’s when I let loose. Sometimes it’s exhausting, it gives you a headache, but it can be interesting, and you have to have to flip from one feeling to another, especially in a show as you go from song to song. It’s not a West End show where songs slowly morph into each other! In a gig I go from one song to the next telling one mister to bugger off and the next song saying, ‘I love you more than life’. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, and it does knacker you out a bit, but you have to live that four minutes when it’s there.’ The extraordinary Joss Stone at Bluesfest this Easter.

CAR FOR SALE This week I say goodbye to my Commodore. The good old trusty V8 petrol guzzler that helped me get back in touch with my inner yobbo. Turns out the inner yobbo was closer to the top than I had previously thought. In my quest to become tediously middle class I’ve secured myself a more conservative ride, something that hasn’t been vomited in, or had a rogue orange compost under the seat. Something that doesn’t have big shiny silver mags. What I loved the most about my giant tomato red 2005 Holden Commodore was that I didn’t care what I hit. I could back into a bin, into a tree, even the odd pedestrian, and I’d have a laugh and drive off. I didn’t get all cranky. People leave a lot of space around your vehicle in carparks when they see the paint scrapes and panel damage. In fact, no one parks near you at all. People bullshit when they want to sell their car. They make stuff up so that the buyer thinks they are getting a good deal. I considered it then thought, forget it, when it comes to selling the old girl I am going to have to tell the truth. Like me she’s a good girl but she’s got a few problems. I did the once-over and I don’t think there’s a panel that I haven’t damaged. Even the roof is pockmarked from mango acid from being parked under a fruiting tree. And when I was reversing out the a new sound to the Blue Kat Byron. Featuring a fantastic lineup of exceptional musicians including resident trio Steve Russell, Thierry Fossemalle and Dave Sanders, this will be a night not to be missed with new compositions inspired by America with a big emphasis on the blues. Elly will also be joined by established saxophone player Martha Baartz, whose resume includes jamming with some of biggest names in jazz and blues including Motown legends The Funk Brothers and The Temptations. Don’t forget to bring your dancing shoes!

drive the other day I got a stick caught in the front mudguard and it kind of ripped off, but I managed to repair it with a bit of gaffer tape. Note to new owner: Car comes with a fresh roll of gaffer tape in the glovebox. Oh, and the boot doesn’t always open. It doesn’t not open, it’s just temperamental. You have to jiggle it, and eventually after a back-and-forth thrusting motion it will acquiesce. This is embarrassing when I’m on the side of the road with a sledgehammer. By the way, the Commodore is excellent for carrying a sledgehammer or any other large heavy tools. The sledgehammer not only ensures that I can knock in the odd road sign advertising an upcoming comedy show; it is a bit of a wakeup call for hitchhikers if they get a bit boring. I stopped cleaning the ‘Commo’ years ago. It didn’t make a difference. I have enjoyed having the floor littered with packets and old socks and broken toys and books and newspapers. It gave me some relief from my OCD cleaning tendency, which insists all things must be spotless. The passenger door makes a gunshot sound when you open it. This is piss funny when you are up at Robina Shopping Centre carpark, because people shit themselves. It’s not like they’ve never heard a gunshot before. Opening the door then watching nice middleclass ladies huddle under the Lexus is darkly amusing. And it embarrasses the kids. They hate the Commo. They think it makes them look common. I have thought it was good for them. So when I arrive to pick them up from school or a friend’s house, I pull up near the beautiful new perfect cars and I beep the horn (which works perfectly and is fully yobbo loud) and then open the gunshot door. ‘Mum’s here!’
The car does have a new battery – that’s because there’s this weird issue with the right indicator. It sticks on and if you don’t notice it, it drains the battery. And you can’t just flick it off; it’s stuck on. It’s a computer issue, which I was told was hideously expensive to fix, so I just flick the hazard lights on and off and on and off repetitively until I break the sequence. This can work instantly or it can take up to 10 minutes. You have to be patient, and your finger gets sore from poking in and out but it does work, eventually. And the radio doesn’t pick up much because some vandal snapped off my aerial. Either that or it was the time I was listening to the ABC in the car wash. The CD player works and the speakers are okay, although someone put their foot through one of them so it’s cracked. But it does work. And there’s a strange faded paint patch at the back – I don’t even know what that is. And it goes through a lot of petrol. Costs me $90 to fill it, and I get around 500 or 600km to the tank. Apart from that, the car is in excellent condition. And she runs like a dream. Not a good dream. But not a nightmare either. And unlike half the cars in Mullumbimby, it’s actually registered – until August. Would be perfect for a backpacker doing a trip around Australia. I’ll even throw in a free sledgehammer! BTW she goes like the clappers but I lost my licence only once.

A MAN CALLED EARL Warren Earl is a favourite on the Australian dance scene. He began studying guitar at age 10 and specialises in 20s to 50s rockabilly, swing and blues with his unique style. Captivating audiences with twin guitar harmonies and ‘take off ’ guitar solos, Warren Earl Band is a household name to those on the Australian roots music scene. Performing as a three-piece, Warren Earl Band specialise in a range of styles from pre-war blues and western swing to 50s rockabilly / rock ’n’ roll. Warren Earl is re-creating the lost sounds from the likes of Bob Wills to Blind Boy Fuller with a Although Thompson has spent the last four years at the helm of Johnny Cash the Concert, his new show is a very different kind of tribute. It’s quieter and more intimate and features just Thompson and one accompanist. Thompson is looking forward to the opportunity to present something that shows another side of Cash. ‘It’s really exciting to tell a few more stories. The whole idea of this show is to give people a bit more of an insight into what he was about – after all, the stories, they are all in his music!’ So what are the stories? ‘One of the great ones is the Sunday Morning Coming Down that Kris Kristopherson wrote. Kristopherson borrowed a helicopter and landed it on Cash’s front lawn and handed him a tape of his songs – and from that moment on they were lifelong friends. ‘I think the music of Cash was as country as you can get,’ says Thompson, who admits that people who don’t love country still love Cash. ‘But it’s not about the genre – it’s about the truth they find in his music. ‘He was a guy who was not afraid to talk about things. He got into trouble for that but he didn’t care. I see him as an outlaw from popular convention. It could have meant his career when he chose to speak out about Vietnam in the 60s and the way the country was treating the returned soldiers.
diverse setlist and dynamic approach! At the Treehouse in Belongil on Thursday, featuring as the band for the Rock ’n’ Roll Swing Dance at the Bangalow Bowlo on Saturday, and Sunday at the Eltham Hotel.
MEMORIES OF MUSIC Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra celebrates their 20th anniversary with their new concert Memoirs on Sunday. The NRSO was founded by original conductor and artistic director Mr Barry Singh. Over the last 20 years the orchestra has performed with many great names including pianist Simon Tedeschi, soprano Liza Beamish, tenor Yu Jixing and cellist Louise King. Since Mr Singh’s retirement in 2012, the orchestra have worked tirelessly to keep the dream alive. Memoirs is a People’s Choice concert conducted by Chen Yang and performed on Sunday at 2.30pm at Tweed Heads Civic Centre. He was supportive of the troops that came back and called his country on how they turned their back. He was also outspoken about the treatment of Native Americans. He did a whole album about it.’ Cash was a champion of the underdog, and very often he let people think that he was a bit of an underdog as well. ‘He let people believe he was a hardened criminal – that he’d spent time in lockup; it didn’t matter whether it was true or not – the thing about it was that he understood what it was about and when he walked into maximum security prisons he didn’t talk down to the inmates. His appeal was across all ages and all walks of life, he was able to speak to everybody. ‘I tell the story from an artist’s point of view. I am not trying to be Johnny Cash, I am paying tribute; I am not impersonating him. We try to sing the songs in the style of Cash, with a similar voice, in a black suit… He was a seriously flawed character, but he wasn’t afraid to stand up and say, look this is me, addictions and all. I think there was some attraction to being not perfect…’ Catch In Solitary with Daniel Thompson at the Byron Community Centre on Friday and Saturday in Lismore at the Star Court Theatre.

s r a t S WITH LILITH
This week’s planets of energy and change in Aries, sign of big vision and spirited beginnings, suggest making a fresh start with wisdom, enthusiasm and renewed heart…
E ARIES: The coming month’s emphasis is in your house of embarking on new projects. If lies, surprises and reprisals arise, resist going ballistic; staying cool, calm, centred and controlled will enable you to walk away from demeaning situations without rancour, into a brave new page of your life story. F TAURUS: Because the heat in this week’s astral kitchen could provoke explosions, a defusing program of your favourite self-soothing activities in order to maintain a stable outlook is recommended. As is taking the present adventurous, exploratory spirit into the realms of inner investigation for some liberating realisations. G GEMINI: This week’s questions are direct: Does your perspective need adjusting? Your strategies sharpening – or softening? This week’s creative renaissance could be utilised to make a mighty change. Its proactive energy’s highly revitalising if you view childish behaviour and dummy spits as the cry for help they are. H CANCER: Generous Jupiter in your sign is blessing you with all sorts of good fortune which, however, may be presenting in an unfamiliar format. If you need to install a new program to be able to (a) recognise and (b) profit from them, is that something you’d consider?
KEEPING A LIDDELL ON IT Lismore-based Neil Liddell has been a portrait artist since 2000, with shows in major capitals, and is the recipient of the odd prize from time to time. He has been commissioned to paint politicians, pop stars, explorers, scientists, vice-chancellors, Aboriginal elders and prominent artists. His exhibition at the Serpentine Community Gallery, Face to Face / Back to Back, features lots of locals, models and muses with a few older studies. Opening Friday at 7pm.
SOUND LEARNING Screenworks continue to foster the film industry with a composing for film and TV seminar with Guy Gross. Guy Gross is a multi-award-winning screen composer, who will be presenting his experiences as a screen composer, talking about the highlights of his career and advising how to work as a composer in the Australian screen industry. This seminar is a must for anyone involved in the music and screen industries, including musicians, composers and technicians as well as film and television producers and directors, and is open to the general public as well as students. Sponsored by APRA and venue sponsor SAE Creative Media Institute, it will be held 2–5pm Monday at SAE Creative Institute Byron Bay. More information and tickets are available from www.screenworks.com.au.

ANGRY MEN Calm logic and compassion triumph over angry, irrational prejudice in Ballina Players’ production of Twelve Angry Men. Juror Eight (Mike Sheehan) follows the principle of not guilty if there is reasonable doubt. At first he stands alone but slowly and methodically he examines the evidence and one by one the other jurors come over to his viewpoint. Juror Three (Clem Halpin) is the stubborn, hot-headed exception. His viewpoint is fuelled by prejudice against the accused’s slum background and most importantly against all young men. The reason for that is eventually revealed. Director Jackie Reedy was moved to tackle Twelve Angry Men when she saw the movie and found it totally compelling. For her the attraction of the play is the fact that twelve total strangers are brought together and gradually their personalities emerge as each deals with his own conflicts and issues. Twelve Angry Men will be staged at the Players’ Theatre from this Thursday to Sunday until 12 April. Evening performances commence at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Bookings are available at Just Funkin Music – phone 6686 2440. Opening night is a gala evening with champagne and savouries served.
From the Heart MY RADIO HEART IS NORPA’S NEW HOMEGROWN PLAY COPRODUCED WITH SYDNEY’S URBAN THEATRE PROJECTS, FEATURING TRALALA BLIP, A NORTHERN RIVERS-BASED MIXED-ABILITIES ELECTRONIC MUSIC ENSEMBLE. SHOW DIRECTOR ROSE DENNIS SPOKE WITH THE ECHO. Can you tell me a little about the concept for My Radio Heart ? On the one hand it’s a show about a young man who’s lost his entire family and recreates a virtual world, replete with avatars with individual missions, as a kind of escape. The audience is never told explicitly how he lost his family – but it is clear that he is on his own. On another level the show is a social comment on our fascination with the virtual space as a space to connect and form relationships. On another level it’s about waiting for someone to love. It’s nonlinear, so audiences are invited and encouraged to form their interpretations of the work. Why have you chosen to explore love? When I joined the project my first creative conversation with Tralala Blip band members was about how we meet someone to love. Can you tell me how you have integrated the work of Lawrence English, Randolf Reimann and Sam James in the show? For My Radio Heart Sam and I have worked quite closely developing the visual worlds that manifest as a three-channel video projection surrounding the stage and performers. The visuals are integral to the storytelling of the show, so we have been back and forth on and off for about nine months to get the right aesthetic. All the music/sound used in the show has somehow been sparked by Tralala Blip. Randolf has worked with the band to compose melodies for the songs in the show and Lawrence has been key in bringing the sound together. How have the students from Wilson Park School in Lismore contributed? We ran a number of workshops at Wilson Park Public School in 2013 that culminated in an intensive blue-screen film shoot. A number of the students appear in one of the character’s virtual reality worlds.

As a director how do you manage to weave a cohesive piece with so many contributors – is this multimedia theatre? From the outset I wanted this show to be a sensorial experience for an audience, so sound and visuals were really important. It hasn’t felt like a lot of contributors as we have all been working towards a common goal. How have you constructed the narrative? I imagine you’ve dispensed with the linear format as we access from so many platforms these days! There is a narrative of sorts – definitely each character has some journey in the show; however, it’s not linear or time specific. What has been your greatest challenge? Greatest challenge? I don’t really think there have been too many challenges. There have definitely been some days that are harder than others, but on the whole I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the band and Claudie Frock. As a director, how do you manage that nagging doubt that things won’t be alright on the night? Is this a constant anxiety of the creative process? I try not too think too much about that; instead I focus on the work and what else I/we need to do to tell the story we are trying to tell. I trust our creative process. The show has two seasons, running Thursday to Saturday at 7.30pm at Lismore City Hall with matinees on Friday and Saturday at 11am. Tickets are $20–39. Bookings 1300 066 772. The Sydney season will run at the Bankstown Arts Centre 9–12 April.

Cinema Review TRACKS
ALL IS LOST It has taken longer than might have been expected for the phenomenal success of The Artist (both commercial and artistic) to inspire a similarly bold deviation from the norm in mainstream cinema. There is no dialogue in this, though it is not a silent movie, for incidental sounds and background noises are essential components of the drama. A retired (?), unattached adventurer (Robert Redford) has been solo-sailing the seas of the eastern tropics. He is woken one morning by water rushing into the cabin. On deck, he discovers that a red container, adrift in the ocean (itself a dismal comment on the consequences of worldwide materialism), has gorged a hole in the side of his yacht. Makeshift repairs appear
to solve the problem, but a frightening storm only makes matters worse for the intrepid sailor. The obvious

I don’t know why I didn’t expect to like this – maybe it was that nagging sense that so much these days is done with the book and movie in mind. Popular media will never be able to satisfy the mob’s thirst for thrills and titillation and vicarious achievement (you can buy the T-shirt for $20). Like when that girl sailed around the world to become the youngest person to do it – there has to be a better reason, surely? None of which is meant to denigrate Robyn Davidson’s epic feat. Setting out in 1977 with her dog Dig and four camels, she walked 1,700 kilometres to the West Australian coast, wrote about it for National reference is Hemingway’s Geographic, expanded that Old Man and the Sea, but piece into a best-selling book director JC Chandor goes and, inevitably, we now have beyond a simple observation John Curran’s excellent screen of Man’s determination in adaptation of it. There is a his eternal struggle against wickedly un-PC joke at the the odds, to focus on his outset when, as Davidson, Mia character’s inventiveness and Wasikowska is not permitted resourcefulness in the face to take her camels through of overwhelming adversity Adam Driver, channeling Jeff Uluru National Park because (eg, the yachtsman’s brilliant Goldblum, provides pleasing it is sacred ground, but the pragmatism in procuring romantic relief, but it’s all targets of wrathful humour water to drink). Advances in are not atypically the fat technology also mean that tourists she encounters (who, Redford’s predicament is in all likelihood, forked out made more convincing by the the money to put her book capabilities of the modern at the top of the charts) and camera and wizardry of the the paparazzi who converged editing suite. The greenon her (and without whom screen (indeed, if there is nobody would know who one) remains invisible, the she was). Curmudgeonly angles are varied and always gripes aside, this is beautifully significant (one, of Redford filmed, paced so as never to after jimmying himself to the drag and richly atmospheric. top of the mast, is a beauty), I was also surprised by and the underwater shots incidents of intense emotion are as beautiful as they are – Davidson’s response to an frightening – in short, there is aggressive approach by feral never any sense that just ten camels is heart-stopping, metres away is a tooled-up and Wasikowska’s reading crew with endless wires and of the moment doubly lights and boom etc. Denying so. In hindsight, it was at the years, Redford produces this point that the film got a fantastic performance, ‘real’ for me. Wasikowska is perfectly expressing the wonderful. Physical beauty, physical and mental strain by encouraging the viewer to that would be the result of gaze dotingly on it, can often such an ordeal – you’re really be a hindrance to deeper with him when he desperately rapport, but Wasikowska lights that flare to attract a subtly but firmly draws passing freighter. It is a bit like you into her world.

By Andrea Herraman If you can sit still long enough with the susurrant afrobeat sounds gently filling Café Oska you may be able to study the menu. Full of international specialities such as goat curry and Panamaian coffee, the cafe has a relaxed and cool backstreet vibe evocative of hidden lanes full of culinary promise. The grandson of an eminent baker and son of a vegetarian mother, Manie Ackah is a chef who has travelled the world from his native Ghana via Sydney and now Byron Bay, tasting and perfecting his craft, with a focus on global cuisine.
Manie has a special relationship with many locals too from his days at African Village, and more recently his healthy curry delivery service Culture Tonic (fondly known as the Curry Truck). Manie’s curries represent the cornucopia of international curry styles. The West Indian style tends to rely on pimento and thyme for flavour, whereas the West African fusion style relies on cooking down ingredients like tomato and black-eyed beans rich with chili and onion and blending them. He has travelled widely researching different curries and stews and the menu includes authentic variations from India, China, northern Africa, Thailand and South America. There are options for vegetarians and vegans as well as sound basics like burgers. Manie is confident in his knowledge of genuine international variations on curry and says, ‘If you’re not sure if we can do something special, ask the chef! If it’s not on

Fox Control Tyagarah Nature Reserve 1080 Baits and Ejectors The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Byron Coast Area, wishes to advise all neighbours and visitors to Tyagarah Nature Reserve of the intended 1080 fox baiting program. 1080 Fox Control will recommence in Tyagarah Nature Reserve to protect priority threatened species (Long-nosed Potoroo) identified in the NSW Fox Threat Abatement Plan. The 1080 Fox Control program will be underway from Monday, 31 March until Friday, 12 December 2014. Please note: People should be aware of the fox baiting program and avoid bait stations in all areas, at all times. Please note that dogs are not permitted within the Nature Reserve and are susceptible to 1080 poisoning. Signs will be located in areas where baits have been laid indicating the date baits were placed. Delays may occur due to unsuitable weather conditions. For more information, contact the NPWS Byron Coast Area Office on (02) 6620 9300. NPWS is part of the Office of Environment and Heritage.

SOCIAL ESCORTS Just like the seasoning, PEPPER will add that extra something to your life. If you see a little sadness in his eyes it is because he is sad. He is the collateral damage of a divorce. Unfortunately there wasn’t a custody battle regarding Pepper. He was just dumped. Home and friends one day... all gone next day. He is very gentle and super friendly. Just can’t get enough interaction with people. He is not interested in the cat goings on in the centre, preferring to keep to himself waiting for a friendly human. If you adopt Pepper, then you are guaranteed a devoted, loving friend. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Australian soil carbon map sets baseline for future A new CSIRO-developed map of Australia’s stored soil carbon provides an important benchmark against which Australia can track future changes in soil carbon storage or carbon sequestration. Providing the most detailed and accurate representation of soil organic carbon stocks, to a depth of 30cm, at a national scale, the 2010 soil organic carbon map for Australia draws on soil sampling data and innovative prediction methods.
Carbon stock The map includes an estimate of soil carbon stock and an estimate of the uncertainty for approximately two billion football-field-sized blocks (90m by 90m) across Australia. ‘This map is the first effective nationwide baseline of organic carbon levels in the top 30cm of soil, which comes with estimates of uncertainty,’ according to lead researcher, Dr Raphael Viscarra Rossel. Until now, estimates of soil organic carbon across the breadth of Australia have not been available or were largely uncertain because of large gaps in data and the limits of past measurement and spatial modelling. ‘The map provides a reliable benchmark for Australia to monitor the influence that changes in land cover, climate, land management and greenhouse gas offset activities have on soil carbon stocks and associated carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere,’ Dr Vis-
carra Rossel said. In assembling the new map, CSIRO drew on three major datasets, including CSIRO’s National Soil and Spectral databases and the national Soil Carbon Research Program – a nationally coordinated research program led by CSIRO, universities and state government agencies and funded by the Australian government and the Grains Research and Development Corporation. The map and its prediction methods provide new insight into the environmental drivers that determine the distribution of soil carbon across the nation, its diverse bioregions and its states and territories.
Cool zones ‘Australia’s largest soil organic carbon stores per hectare occur in the cool, temperate zones, which have higher-than-average rainfall and extensive rainforests and eucalyptus forests,’ Dr Viscarra Rossel said. ‘These larger stocks of organic soil carbon tend to coincide with southern states and regions fringing the coastlines, where wetter and cooler conditions produce more vegetation growth with slower decomposition and loss of carbon dioxide. South Australia, due to its large amount of desert, is an exception; its soils contain the least amount of organic carbon per hectare, followed by northern and western jurisdictions and regions exposed to Mediterranean, subtropical
and tropical climates.’ The average amount of organic carbon in the top 30cm of Australian soil was estimated to be 29.7 tonnes per hectare and the total stock for the continent at 25.0 gigatonnes (Gt=1000 million tonnes) with a 95 per cent confidence of being within the range of 19.0 to 31.8 Gt. The total stock in agricultural regions of Australia is 12.7 Gt with 95 per cent confidence of being within the range of 9.9 to 15.9 Gt.
‘Important’ The new map and associated estimates and uncertainties have important applications, according to Dr Viscarra Rossel. ‘The maps of the estimates and their uncertainty are for 2010 and could be used to: • set a baseline from which Australia’s national soil carbon stocks could be monitored; • guide the design of national soil monitoring networks; • help guide future soil sampling designed to improve estimates of Australia’s soil carbon stocks; • help to assess the potential of Australian soil to sequester carbon; • improve Australia’s terrestrial carbon budgeting; and • assist with strategies to mitigate and adapt to the effects of a changing climate.’ This work was published last week in the journal Global Change Biology through CSIRO’s Sustainable Agriculture Flagship.
New understanding of the genetic basis of bipolar disorder Affecting around one in 75 Australians, bipolar disorder involves extreme and often unpredictable fluctuations in mood. While we know that bipolar is primarily a biological illness with a strong genetic influence, the genetic basis plus associated triggers are yet to be understood. The international Psychiatrics Genomics Consortium, including researchers from Black Dog Institute and Neura, have just completed one of the largest genomic studies of bipolar disorder to date. According to Professor Sven Cichon, the lead researcher of this study, searching for genes involved in bipolar disorder is like looking for a needle in a haystack. ‘The contributions of individual genes are so minor that they normally cannot be identified in the “background noise” of genetic differences. ‘Only when the DNA from very large numbers of patients with bipolar disorder are compared to the genetic material from an equally large number of healthy persons can differences be confirmed statistically.’ With results published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, the Con-
sortium used sophisticated genomic technology to scan the genetic material of 9,747 people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and 14,278 control subjects.
Three genes The study confirmed three genes already known to increase risk of bipolar disorder as well as identifying a two new gene areas associated with the condition. According to Prof Phil Mitchell, Consortium member and chief investigator of the Kids and Sibs bipolar disorder study at the Black Dog Institute, this is a significant result that will accelerate our ability to diagnose bipolar disorder and provide early treatment or
prevention options. ‘The strength of the paper is the very large sample size – which gives confidence in the validity of the findings – and the impressive international collaboration. ‘We are especially interested in one of the gene locations, called ADCY2, which codes an enzyme involved in conducting signals to nerve cells. Scientists have previously observed that signal transfers in certain regions of the brain are impaired in people with bipolar disorder. ‘Being able to identify young people at risk will enable implementation of early intervention programs, giving them the best chance for a long and happy life.’

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast
Protecting your home with insurance Your home is your pride and joy. It’s a place to feel safe and secure. Choosing the right insurance for your home and your possessions will give you an added sense of security and lessen the pain and cost of repairing your home and replacing stolen or damaged goods. Home insurance covers costs associated with loss or damage to the building you own. Contents insurance covers costs associated with loss or damage to your possessions. These are often bundled together as a ‘home and contents insurance’ package. Keep in mind that they are separate and work out what cover you need.
Home insurance
Home insurance helps protect you against things that are out of your control, such as damage from natural disasters like storms and bushfires. Home insurance covers the cost of replacing or
repairing your home, including fixtures (ie the building and fittings such as lights). Almost all home owners need home insurance and are required to have it as part of their home loan arrangements. Could you afford to rebuild your home if it was destroyed? You need to work out if you want ‘total replacement’ cover or ‘suminsured’ cover. Total replacement cover includes all the costs to rebuild your home to the standard it was prior to an event. Sum insured cover is more common and will cover you up to a set amount. There are a number of variations to these two basic models, so read the fine print and ask as many questions as possible when comparing insurers. Most insurers offer home and contents insurance as a package. Always shop around for the right
level of cover at the best price. It’s as simple as phoning three insurance companies or visiting three websites. When you visit insurance companies’ websites, use their estimators or calculators to see how much cover you need. But be careful as these online calculators can vary from company to company, so try at least three before making a decision. Keep in mind that the best calculators ask the most questions. If ever you need to rebuild your house, you not only have to pay the costs of labour and materials but will also be faced with a range of extra or ‘supplementary’ costs including paying for alternative accommodation while your house is rebuilt; removal of debris from the site; architects or other professionals to draw up plans; and services to make your
property safe for workers. Depending on the circumstances, these costs can really add up quickly. For example, some people who lost their homes in the Canberra bushfires of 2003 were out of their homes for more than 12 months waiting for their houses to be rebuilt.
The type of cover you choose will affect the premium you pay. Some policies cover you for defined Contents insurance events (eg burglary and fire) Contents insurance covers the while others cover you for any cost of replacing or repairing your accidental event. Others give you unfixed household items and only limited cover if you take an possessions. This includes furniture, item (eg a laptop) outside your home. clothes, appliances and jewellery. There are two main types of When working out how much contents insurance: policies that home and contents insurance you need, start by listing all your cover the value of your stuff; and belongings and working out how policies that replace your stuff with new items, eg ‘new for old’. much it would cost to replace them. Taking photos and doing it ‘New for old’ policies tend to room by room is sensible because be more expensive. Work out you may be surprised by how what type of cover you want and weigh up the costs. You can save much you have.
money on contents insurance by choosing a higher excess. For example, if you could pay the first $1,000 of any loss, the insurance premium will be cheaper. Most home contents polices ask you to declare ‘collections’ separately. A collection can be DVDs, stamps, jugs, and so on. If you don’t declare your collections, then you may not be able to claim the full amount of your loss if your CDs or DVDs get stolen or damaged. Most insurers provide limited cover for valuables such as jewellery. You may need extra cover to adequately insure all your valuables.

Johnny Rugers from Shogun Signs and Print had his studio gutted in the fire that swept through three studios in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate on February 2. He lost around $35,000 worth of equipment and materials. Now friends have put together over $4,000 worth of donations to be raffled on Sunday March 30 at the Railway Friendly Bar from 3pm to 5pm, along with music and free face-painting for the kids. You can find out more at www.shogunsigns.com/fundraiser.html and you can purchase tickets from the ‘new’ Shogun Signs office, 1B/11 Banksia Drive, A&I Estate. Q Q Q Q

Seniors Week in Byron Shire went off in a lively fashion as usual, with the inspiring Ruth Fox of Brunswick Heads appropriately receiving Council’s Positive Ageing Award. We hear also it was a pretty spirited affair at the Mullum library when Magenta AppelPye and her crack team of senior ukulelists let fly with their rendition of ‘Library girls won’t you come out tonight’, based of course on ‘Buffalo Gals’ written by John Hodges in 1844 and featured in the 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life and High Noon in 1952.
