name, same welcome Woodchop notches up 50 New rescue from marine crews From 0600 on New Year’s Day, at least half of all volunteer marine rescue units in NSW donned the distinctive new, blue uniforms of Marine Rescue NSW ready to serve the NSW boating community during the busiest holiday time of the year. All 25 units of the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol will formally make the transition into Marine Rescue NSW and it is expected that a further eight units from VRA Marine will be wearing their new uniforms in the coming week. Members of what was formerly the VRA Brunswick Marine Radio Base will also suit up. Marine Rescue NSW will provide a new, streamlined service with improved marine radio communications, emergency marine search and rescue response and high quality, top value boating safety education. With two-thirds of all of the state’s marine rescue units operational as

Marine Rescue NSW, volunteer marine rescue is entering a new phase that will make boating safer in NSW coastal waters. When transition of all units to Marine Rescue NSW is completed, it will be even easier for the boating public to know who to contact for any assistance on the water. Calling Marine Rescue NSW for help with an emergency on the water will become as well known for boaties as calling the SES or RFS for help with storm damage or bushfires is for people on land. The local services are always ready to welcome new volunteers – training is provided and visitors to the Cape will find a chat with the Marine Rescue volunteers both interesting and informative. To contact Cape Byron Marine Rescue unit phone 6680 8417 or Brunswick radio tower 6685 0148 – the emergency channel, as always VHF 16.

The Brunswick Heads Woodchop Carnival and the Festival of the Fish and Chips will celebrate next week, when what started out as a little fundraiser turns 50. The series began in 1961 when Noel McGregor, who ran the carnival in Banner Park, approached four major organisations for the purpose of raising money to run a new Woodchop Carnival. The group of Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby RSL, Brunswick Heads Progress Association and the Lismore and District Ambulance contributed £240. Edgar Bashforth donated trees from his property and a team of volunteers felled the trees, then cut and trimmed the logs.

Back in the day, 26 axemen competed for the prize money. Since then the event has grown and the Brunswick carnival is currently regarded as the biggest woodchopping event outside the Sydney. Noel says the event is world renowned as being one of the best. ‘In 1970 we celebrated the World Centenary here with 156 competitors,’ he said. ‘The American axemen couldn’t believe their eyes with the efficiency of the ring crew.’ Life member Reg Byrnes agrees. ‘We have the best ring crew in Australia – the world actually. All the axemen agree.’ To help celebrate the festival’s milestone, there is a great program planned for the week-long event starting on Saturday. Activities include golf tournaments at both the Ocean

Shores and Mullumbimby Golf Clubs and bowls also at Ocean Shores, sand modelling and the Brunswick Masters Surf Carnival at the beach, the Brunswick Heads Bowling Club athletics carnival, and of course the annual fishing competition. One of the major highlights of the event will be the Festival Fireworks Display in Banner Park at 9pm on Saturday, which will this year feature an extraordinary show over the river. There will also be a ‘Celebrating 50 Years Reunion Get Together’ at the Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club which everyone is welcome to attend – bookings essential. For more information about any of the events during the festival, visit www.bhwoodchop.com or phone committee secretary Joy Slater on 6680 1170.

Cape Byron Marine Rescue operations officer Rob Asquith says that the advent of a new uniform is not the only change for services in the area. After many years of answering the phone as the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol, the new name has arrived with the new blue duds. ‘I actually have it written on a piece of paper next to the phone to make sure I get it right,’ says Rob. ‘I haven’t slipped up yet.’ Photo Eve Jeffery

Arts classic celebrates creativity ‘The revival of the ever popular Byron Arts Classic offers all visitors a glimpse into the world of some of its most creative and inspirational people,’ say organisers. ‘It will be no easy feat deciding the winners of the Byron Arts Classic to be held on January 7-11 at the Byron Community Centre, but at least we know we have the well informed eye of invited judges – Peter Powditch, Melitta Firth and Jill Eddington. ‘The results of the judges’ deliberations will be announced at the Byron Arts Classic opening night event, Celebrating our Creativity, to be held at the Byron Community Centre on January 8 from 6pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the celebrations, which will be led by the artistically funny Mandy Nolan. ‘Entry is $10 – submitting artists get in for free. Come along and see who the judges have picked as winners for the $10,000 worth of prizes on offer.

From left, Mariana Barrios (submitting artist), Asaf Zakay (submitting artist), Samaya Zakay (committee member), Tess Cullen (committee member and submitting artist) with Eva May and Rosie Gordon (submitting artist and assistant to Tess).

‘All entries in this incredible event show the diversity and collective energy of hundreds of the creative talents this re-

gion has to offer. Come and see firsthand the amazing range of works on offer and take the opportunity to purchase a one-off

piece of artwork. You will be sure to be impressed with the breadth and talent of this inspirational art show!’

Council events policy to go on exhibition soon The draft Byron Shire Events Policy on Public and PrivateLand will go out on public exhibition for 60 days in the New Year, according to Council. Mayor Jan Barham said the draft policy has been developed in order to recognise the importance of events in the Byron Shire and to encourage sustainable events that support the Shire’s cultural vibrancy. ‘The draft policy also aims to encourage the protection of Shire amenity, respect for Aboriginal culture, employment of local art workers, inventive partnership opportunities and a creative approach to the use of council facilities,’ Cr Barham said in a press re-

lease. Links to other relevant Council documents such as the Cultural Plan and Tourism Management Plan, state and federal guidelines will also be included. The draft ‘Byron Shire Event Guidelines’ will be developed as part of the community and industry consultation process. The guidelines will set out Council’s approval process, legislation, safety requirements, traffic management, waste management, environmental considerations, event size and locations. Mayor Barham said events had the potential to positively and adversely impact the

Shire. She emphasised that Byron Shire was a relatively small Shire with heavy demands on infrastructure and amenity due to the high popularity of tourism. ‘Council has a responsibility to consider the needs of the whole community. ‘The draft policy has identified a limit of two major amplified music festivals per annum. ‘This is an important issue for public comment and Council encourages the community to make a submission on the draft policy.’ Council has also requested a report on the consideration of the employment of a

Council events officer, events calendar, Events Management Plan, Events Strategy and research projects to quantify the positive and adverse impacts of events and sustainable management practices. Mayor Barham also congratulated the Byron Shire event organisers of the Byron Bay International Film Festival and Bangalow’s Big Joke Comedy Festival on being successful funding recipients from the recent Tourism NSW Regional Flagship Events Program for 2010. Each organisation will receive $10,000 towards organisational and promotional costs.

Businesses broken into at Bruns

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Businesses in Brunswick Heads fell victim to a series of breakins last Thursday morning. Several premises were attacked though not all were entered. Project Manager at the Visitor Information Centre in Park Street, Shannon Dowsling, pictured, was alerted to the situation when she arrived for work on Thursday morning. ‘I was just arriving at the VIC when one of the neighbours stopped me and said that he had heard noises during the night,’ said Ms Dowsling. ‘He said that he had yelled in the direction of the office when someone was trying to break down the door and they ran away.’ Shannon said that she phoned the police who told her that six businesses had reported damage and break It is rumoured that the surfaces.

Court reserves decision on Mullum Woolies case was condensed into less than one day. It consisted mainly of the the legal teams and experts sitting around a table at lunchtime coming to “an agreement� about the consent conditions for Woolworths to operate an onsite sewage system. ‘The court case had been deferred twice over a period of four months, and was ostensibly an appeal against Byron Shire Council’s refusal of the onsite sewage system. However, the merits of that decision were not discussed. Instead, the legal minds concocted a complex, cumbersome agreement which includes 200,000 litres of sewage leaving the Mullumbimby site in tanker trucks. This is about three months of the year-

ly sewage produced, and means that their system is an offsite rather than an onsite system. ‘MCAN is disappointed that the L&E Court doesn’t deal with the right or wrong of Council’s approval but acts as a separate approval authority, invites countless revisions, engages Council’s experts to assist in the design and then wipes its hands of the matter. When things go ape, who will clean up the mess, who will keep Woolworths honest, who will see that the supermarket closes when it fails to meet its consent conditions? Will Commissioner Hussey ride to the rescue? We think not.’ See more at www.mullum action.org.

per, Gilmore, Page and Dobell electorates – which are all in regional NSW – are in the top 10 federal electorates for dementia prevalence in NSW now and are expected to remain in the top 10 by 2050. Without a significant medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia in NSW is expected to quadruple from about 84,000 people today, to 341,000 by 2050. Nationally that figure is expected to exceed 1.13 million by 2050. ‘Make no mistake, dementia will be the disease of the century and will have a huge impact on the health and social welfare system,’ Mr Watkins said. ‘We need urgent action now to plan for the enormous impact.

Richmond high in dementia The NSW coast is expected to be the area hardest hit in the state by dementia according to the figures, prepared for Alzheimer’s Australia NSW by Access Economics. This means that a large proportion of the respite, support services, community care and aged residential care needed for people with dementia will fall outside the metropolitan areas of NSW, said the CEO of Alzheimer’s Australia NSW John Watkins. ‘We know that, historically, regional areas do not generally receive the same level of service as metropolitan areas,’ Mr Watkins said. ‘We must plan now for a dementia tsunami that is headed straight for us.’ The Richmond, Lyne, Cow-

for the management of sewage generated by the development. Woolworths lodged an appeal against Council’s decision in the Land and Environment Court and was permitted to submit a revised proposal for an on-site sewerage system. Council stands by its original decision and has continued to defend its refusal of the Section 68 Application. In a press release last week the Mullumbimby Community Action Network (MCAN) said New Years Day was the second anniversary of the Woolworths announcement to move into Mullumbimby. ‘Two years of dedicated campaigning by locals has kept them out, despite Woolworths planning to open their doors in Mullum by the end of 2009. ‘The Land and Environment Court case held in Sydney immediately before Christmas

A Land and Environment Court decision that will allow or prohibit construction of a Woolworths supermarket in Mullumbimby will not be made until the end of January. At the end of December last year Commissioner Robert Hussey reserved his decision to uphold or reject Fabcot Pty Ltd’s (Woolworths) appeal against Byron Shire Council’s refusal of a Section 68 Application for an onsite sewerage system in Station Street, Mullumbimby. The Section 68 Application must be obtained by Woolworths before a construction certificate is issued for a supermarket at the site. In August, Byron Shire councillors rejected Woolworths’ Section 68 Application because the applicant had failed to demonstrate that appropriate arrangements could be made

Mural brightens up school tank Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Students at the Crabbes Creek Public School employed their artistic talents at the end of the 2009 school year, when they put brush to tank as part of the beautification program at the school. Principal Deborah Love initiated this project in a quest for an art project that could involve the whole school and would also aesthetically improve the big cream-coloured water tank in the middle of their veggie patch, a school gardening project that along with composting and worm farm saw them win a ‘Sustainable Schools’ award for the north coast a few years ago. The theme of the mural is ‘The Cycle of Life’ – planting, growing, harvesting, transporting of produce. It is being created under the watchful eye of artist David Hickson. ‘The children, aged from kindergarten to year 4, brainstormed design ideas, some working in groups, others

working individually,’ says David. ‘The group then drew their designs on paper, which I scaled up and transcribed onto the water tank. The children then painted their respective designs.

‘We used environmentally friendly non toxic paints kindly donated by Byron company ecolour – “climate friendly paints� which are water based and contain zero volatile organic compounds.’

The project will be finished early in the new school year and the mural-making was recorded for posterity at www. crabbescrk-p.schools.nsw.edu. au. For ecolour paints, visit www.ecolour.com.au.

Local GLBT group formed A small group of active local youth has spurred the formation of a new GLBT youth group at the Byron YAC on Thursdays. Byron Youth Service (BYS) is supporting the formation of the new group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth as part of its enterprise program. This is a group for young people 18 years and under and for those unsure of their sexuality who just want a safe space to explore. This newly formed group had its first meeting at the By-

ron YAC on Friday October 30, 2009. Although still forming, this group aims to allow GLBT youth to socialise, have fun and meet others each week. This group relies on the members to choose issues and themes they want to discuss, be educated and informed on. The new GLBT Youth Group meets every Thursday at 4.30pm at the YAC.

Hampers offer farmers relief Anne Thompson

On Saturday December 5, 540 Christmas hampers, as well as boxes of toys and gifts, were sent from the North Coast to drought-stricken regions of the state. These had all been packed by volunteers in the Eltham Hall and loaded onto pallets by the Clunes Rural Fire Service once again. They were then forklifted onto trucks courtesy of Mills Transport and freighted free of charge by Tamex agents to Deniliquin, Broken Hill, Lake Cargelligo, Temora, West Wyalong and Mungindi. Many

emails and thankyou cards are already being received. There were 14 pallets in all, weighing nearly 11 tonnes and all this was donated by the wonderful communities of the North Coast from Murwillumbah to Grafton and west to Bonalbo. So many people should be acknowledged: from the crew on the Ballina bypass who passed the hat around and raised $1,350, which was matched by the company; the Lions Clubs for their financial support, as well as all the cakes; Father Mac’s for the big discount on hundreds of Heavenly Puddings; to Senior

Citizens, Garden Clubs, View Clubs, Red Cross, schools, church groups and hundreds of individuals. Locally grown produce was included such as one tonne of sugar from NSW Milling, as well as coffee, macadamias and pecans. A young couple from Alphadale who manufacture ‘bush’ soap such as lemon myrtle, donated $2,000. There were plenty of toys to go around as well and household goods and toiletries were packed into green bags. The most unusual inclusions were 100 pairs of fabulous funky, floral gumboots donated by Rosie Roo on the Gold Coast! A few of these were sent last year and were much admired apparently. Any kind of gumboots are rare out there! Someone said, ‘Awesome boots! How could they not make it rain?!’ Well, it looks like they could well have brought the rain. Donations can still be made and cheques should be made payable to: Bangalow Lions Drought A/C, PO Box 214, Clunes 2480. A big thankyou to everyone who donated and to all the volunteers, who felt the true meaning of Christmas.

Good HSC results for Byron schools

Dispatch from Cairo

A group of Byron Bay High students gathered for a celebratory breakfast.

Both Byron Bay High School and Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School have welcomed the results achieved by their students in the 2009 Higher School Certificate examination. Ten Byron Bay High School students have received an ATAR of 90 or above, with Chester Pearson gaining the top ATAR of 97.55. ‘These are outstanding results from a fantastic year of students,’ said Ian Davies, relieving Principal of Byron Bay High School. ‘One of the secret ingredients to the school’s ongoing HSC success is the relationship between our teachers and students. ‘This, combined with the

calibre of the students, has meant that the school performed above state average in a spectrum of subjects including English, Drama, Visual Arts, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Information Processes and Technology, Community and Family Studies, Legal Studies and Business Studies.’ As well as Chester’s, top scores came from Elloise Julier 95.45, Lucy Gannon 94.65, Ruby Shine 94.35, Emma Bugagiar 92.65, Juliette Steen 92.25, Morgan Begg 91.9 and Tom Abriel 91.4. A spokesperson for Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School said, ‘We are thrilled by our overall results, particularly our results in Music, where eight out of

the nine students received 80% or above. ‘Also excellence in English Extension where two students received 48 out of a possible 50 (96%) and a further four students received between 42 and 45 out of 50. ‘We had Band 6 in seven subjects. With an enrolment of only 15, this is quite extraordinary. The students worked so hard with the support of dedicated and professional teachers.’ Noted musical talent Domini Forster scored Band 6 in all her subjects, with 98 in music. Other notable results were achieved by Kaya Edwards, Molly Younger, Ruby BullWatkins and Chapei Lin.

Here in Cairo, I am one of 15 Australians among 1,362 proGazan activists from 43 countries. Our plans to take humanitarian supplies to Gaza have been thwarted by the Egyptian government, no doubt by pressure by the US and Israel. Israeli helicopters have bombarded the Gaza Rafah border area with leaflets, just as they did before Operation Cast Lead one year ago. We hear that people have panicked and are searching for safe places before the anticipated bombing begins, so maybe the Egyptians are actually protecting us. Who knows? Many of the 500 strong French contingent left early for Al Arish, about 25km from the Gaza, but were stopped by police and placed under ‘house arrest’ so they could not leave their hotel. This was later relaxed to an order confining them to the town where they remain. One Australian photographer has also been trapped there. Travel agents told us

there were no buses for Al Arish even though it is a tourist resort. Bus and taxi drivers have been warned not to take us there. We have been refused permission to meet as a group and warned that if more than six of us are discussing plans, we will be arrested. Egyptian plainclothes spies are everywhere and locals have pointed them out to us at considerable risk to themselves. We have heard of students assisting us being beaten. We have met in the huge forecourt of the Mogamma building and at the World Trade Centre (WTC). Our attempt to meet aboard Nile feluccas was scotched by the police who said the boats were broken.These blocking attempts have backfired on the authorities by exposing us to peak hour traffic and giving us far more visibility than we would have had. We have ignored the six-person ban and defied the police when they confined us yesterday at the WTC by sliding steel barriers ever nearer us and

shrinking our space. We stood still and defied their orders to move. They prevented us using the toilets at the Conrad hotel, so people used the shrubbery instead. One of the highlights of yesterday was meeting 85 year old Hedy Epstein who began her hunger strike. What a powerful inspiration she is and what a gob-smacked rebuttal she fires at those Jews who accuse us of anti-semitism because we dare criticise the monstrous siege of Gaza by the Israeli state. The Byron community has a huge opportunity to be a force for peace, human rights and justice by influencing the million visitors we get each year. Why can’t we twin Byron with Gaza City? Be an Amnesty International town? Pressure the Australian government to be more forceful in condemning human rights violations? A positive spin-off for us would be in our young people being involved and realising that we have an infinitely more important moral task than simply being a town typified by partying and booze!

V-Dub king hangs up his spanner

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Who would have ever thought that the small village of Stokers Siding would become a nationally and internationally renowned focal point in the VDub world? Well Alan Atkins didn’t, but it happened – and Alan’s the guru. After completing his mechanics apprenticeship in 1964 at a Volkswagen dealership in

Glen Innes, Alan and his wife Jan moved to Stokers in 1970 where he started repairing cars for friends and neighbours from his home. The next year the Atkinses purchased the vacant service station in the village and in 1980 Alan made a conscious decision to deal exclusively with Volkswagens. The business expanded dramatically to become the largest supplier of new and used VW

parts between Southport and Newcastle and by the 90s, Alan had an overflowing wrecking yard and a growing fan base as he gained a reputation for experience, knowledge and expertise. Alan says he has worked on literally thousands of V-Dubs and has had his head under every type of make and model including the Beetle, Type 3, Water Cooled, T4, Golf, Passat and Audi brought into Australia and of course the iconic Kombi. He attributes much of his success to some of the great staff he has employed over the years, including his daughters Michelle and Amanda. In 2009 the Stokers VW Parts became an ever-increasing central focus of the business while at the same time Alan was scaling down mechanical repairs. The premises was then sold as Alan and Jan, who now live in Pottsville, prepared for the next adventure and moving exclusively into selling parts. ‘People think I am folding up all together,’ says Alan. ‘We aren’t closing we are just relocating. I still have an extensive range of new and secondhand parts but I will have more time to travel to swap meets and shows and will have parts available online and over the phone.’ And the obvious question? Alan was very reluctant to

name his favourite VW but did say he once owned a twin cab that he fixed up in 72. ‘It was a great Kombi,’ said Alan. ‘When I sold that, it almost made me cry.’ For more information about where you can get all those elusive V-Dub parts, visit the website at www.stokersvwparts. com.au.

Survey reveals young spending The ‘Confident and Connected: NSW Youth Consumer Survey’ looked into the spending and lifestyle habits of more than 1,200 young consumers. The survey reveals that the average weekly income for 12 to 20 year olds has increased from $120.60 in 2007 to $142.65 in 2009. Nearly a quarter have asked for a loan from family, friends or financial institutions borrowing an average of $904. More than half shop online using their parent’s credit cards or online services such as Paypal. Young people are using their mobile phones seven times per day on average (girls reported using their mobiles more often), and three out of five have been faced with suspicious emails requesting personal information.

Gloves are off for bloody election year Volume 24 #30

January 5, 2010

Daze ahead Depending on your reckoning, it’s the start of a new decade – or not. At least we have escaped the noughties and will have three years’ grace before the terrible teens begin. That’s assuming the Mayanists have got it wrong and that on December 21, 2012, our whole notion of time and space doesn’t go kaflooyey in a number of interesting ways. Among them is the suggestion of the late psychonaut Terence McKenna that ‘the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012, at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur instantaneously’ (interview with Art Bell, 1997). Uh huh. When in the same year I asked McKenna if he really believed in this theory – and ‘machine-made elves’ – or if it was metaphor, his answer was a bit of each, expressed in several long sentences strong on teleology. He might have been hitting the mushrooms a bit hard that week. (Don’t get me wrong on Terence McKenna. By many accounts he was a lovely bloke and his book Food Of The Gods was a novel hypothesis on how human intelligence evolved – if it ever did.) If you’re a little sceptical of the 2012 scenarios – and there must be two or three people in the Shire who are – you can always share the Russian scientists’ concern that the asteroid Apophis will slam into the planet in 2036. There are a lot of big rocks out there that could put a nasty dent in the day. And closer to the Earth’s surface, there’s us. What a dodgy species we are. A loose understanding at the Copenhagen conference – which rated very high on the Pointless Delegates Index, especially from Australia – saw developed nations seeming comfortable with two degrees of global warming and offered poor nations the equivalent of the Pentagon’s petty cash tin to compensate them for yet more suffering. Closer to home, this year Council staff and councillors will be wrestling with some of the problems associated with global warming – and property rights – when they consider the Draft Coastal Zone Management Plan. Hope the state and federal governments put more resources into managing the coastline because the Shire sure can’t afford to pay for it. Funding is likely to be on the agenda for the 2010 Coastal Conference, which Byron Shire is hosting in Byron Bay on March 2-3. See more at www.seachangetaskforce.org.au/Conference.html. Ageing will be the other big topic and given the federal minister for ageing is our own Justine Elliott, and the seat of Richmond is among the top ten electorates for dementia prevalence according to a report by Access Economics for Alzheimer’s Australia, let’s hope there’s some gritty debate on the issues involved. Closer to Mullum, the feeling is that Commissoner Hussey of the Land and Environment will grant Woolworths approval to cart its shit away from its Station Street box if built, a privilege which is not extended to householders under Council’s policy, but the executives and board members of Woolworths are used to privilege. Anyway, I hope all our readers have a splendid 2010, and if not, at least a tolerable one. In times of stress I am consoled by the immortal words of The Man in Black in the film The Princess Bride: ‘Life is pain... Anybody who says differently is selling something.’ – Michael McDonald, editor

elcome to another bloody election year. And yes, it will be a bloody election. Tony Abbott knows that he is on a hiding to nothing and will fight it the way he won his boxing blue at Oxford, a way that had a journalist report: ‘No-style Abbott’s a real smasher ‌ he has no defence when going forward.’ He has already signalled that he is going to make border security an election issue; this, of course, is code for race. Abbott, like his mentor John Howard, will not hesitate to appeal to the worst instincts of Australians if he believes there are votes to be won. What makes his opportunism even worse than Howard’s is that Abbott himself is not racist; unlike Howard he is comfortable associating with all creeds and colours and is an enthusiastic convert to multiculturalism. But desperate elections require desperate measures, and Abbott has shown throughout his career that he is ever ready to embrace the Jesuitical teaching that the end can sometimes justify the means. He will need all the distractions he can get, because his position on climate change – Kevin Rudd’s chosen battlefield – is pathetically vulnerable. When Abbott unexpectedly became leader of the Liberal Party his supporters insisted that one of his first jobs was to tell the voters a story; and he did. The problem was that the story was a barefaced lie. It consisted of the assertion that Rudd’s Emissions Trading Scheme was a great big tax on everything, and that he could deliver the same cuts at no cost to anybody.

W

Rudd’s ETS is in fact not a tax, but a market-based solution of the kind free enterprise parties such as the Liberals are supposed to applaud. The idea is that the polluters have to pay for their permits to pollute. They will of course pass the extra cost on to consumers, but the government will use the money raised by the sale of permits to compensate those worst affected. Compe-

The other key battleground during the campaign will, as usual, be the economy; and here again Abbott is on shaky ground. by Mungo MacCallum tition between the suppliers will force them to look for cleaner alternatives, which will eventually become economically viable, making everyone a winner. This, at least, is the theory, and Abbott has not attempted to refute it; his only response has been to say that an ETS is a great big tax on everything, which it clearly isn’t; indeed, Treasury modelling suggests that it will have far less impact than the introduction of the GST, which Abbott praises as a great economic reform. His own approach to the problem of reducing carbon emissions (he now accepts that they are a problem, despite not long ago calling the science of climate change ‘crap’) is through what he calls ‘direct action’. This apparently involves government regulation over the supply and consumption of energy, anathema to Liberal philosophy and more importantly to Liberal voters, and/or

subsidising alternative energy sources and the elimination of carbon from the process, a solution previously derided by the Liberals as a Greenie fantasy. But whether the idea is practical or not, it would be expensive; indeed public and private economists calculate that the cost would be roughly double that of an ETS, to deliver less than half the reduction in emissions.

Moreover, the government would not have the income generated by the sale of permits to pay for it; the scheme would have to be funded entirely from consolidated revenue, and paid for, presumably, by a great big tax on everything. As a strategist on climate change, Abbott makes General Custer look like Alexander the Great. The other key battleground during the campaign will, as usual, be the economy; and here again Abbott is on shaky ground. He is trying to appeal to the Howard-Costello legacy of economic management, but the hard fact is that Howard and Costello have both gone in somewhat humiliating circumstances and their replacements hardly seem up to it. Abbott’s own economic expertise is, if the above policy is any guide, close to zilch. His shadow treasurer Joe Hockey has no real track record other than to insist that if tax cuts

are on the agenda they should go to individuals rather than companies, an about-face on Liberal policy hardly likely to appeal to the party’s most important donors. And then there is Barnaby Joyce overseeing the vital and wideranging finance portfolio and already proving that he can piss in the cabinet tent just as effectively from inside it as he did from outside it. By contrast Rudd can point to the proven reliability and steadiness of Wayne Swan and Lindsay Tanner, and to Australia’s success in weathering the Global Financial Crisis through swift and decisive action that has since been endorsed by the vast majority of economic authorities, both national and international. Labor can justly declare that it has reclaimed the title of superior economic manager, and unless things go drastically wrong in the next few months, Abbott’s talk of debt and deficit will most likely be dismissed as carping and whingeing by a largely relieved electorate. This is not to say that Rudd is a shoo-in; the halo has slipped a bit in the last few months, and the idea that he is a timid leader who would rather talk than act to deliver real reforms is starting to gain some traction. But it can hardly be denied that he is starting from a long way in front, and that the government over the last two years has been a model of stability compared to the alternative, whoever has been leading it. To unsettle it, Abbott will have to fight hard and dirty, and the preliminary signs are that he is ready and willing to do both. Like I said, another bloody election.

Dear Man, You are the active pole on earth and needed like the sun – shining with honest care, in love, on to a woman. She is like the earth – she receives, she gives, she knows. We are this beautiful life. In this self-made world man learned to show off, it is easy for you but are you brave enough to stand up for love? Be true – be simple and give your honest love and care and make sweetly and rightly love to her. It is a woman’s delight and need to grow with you and glow in love. It is your most fulfilling task. For this to be, you will have to give up selfish, restless sex. Be still, drop your demand, enjoy moment to moment life. Love life. Do you excite yourself with sex-thought? It overstimulates you. It makes you dishonest in love, so you just take, but you should ask and learn to give right love. We are influenced as a child... take a drug, get used to sex, be sexy, show off, be greedy, give your attention to the newest invention, get excited... nothing will be good enough for long and such greediness supports the sex business. Worldwide he manipulates young women to play sexy for him, to be his sex object and if she makes sex with such a selfish demanding ungiving man it makes her like him. Infected and made discontent, both feel dependent on stimulation, for in truth they have not made love and so they say ‘let’s have some fun with a drug...’ Hey man, give up, you can’t just take what you want, you can’t just take love! You have to give to a woman. Life’s love is her gift to you, if you have earned it. A woman today can be honest to man. If he is not honest, do not give to him, wait until he demonstrates true love. If you are honest, moment to moment and give to what is good and right, you simply feel well from the inside. With such a woman of love, you will listen to her carefully. Love is easily broken, it has to be made fresh, new, no other body belongs to you. Each of us has to stand up for love. Life felt inside is reflected in beautiful earth, universe – I belong to you. From a Woman.

Police, dudes, and common sense My first reaction upon reading David Leser’s article on ‘police overreaction to local young people’ (Echo, December 22, 2009) was what on earth was a 15 year old Byron Bay girl doing at a garage party at Lennox Head and roaming the streets at 10.50pm? Did her parents approve of such a party? While I read the Macquarie Dictionary definition of ‘dude’, I’m wondering if this young lady also addresses her school teachers also as ‘dude’. I feel very sorry for the police officers.

â–

Hilary Lewis

Suffolk Park â– I just read the article entitled

‘When police officers lose their cool with children’ and before I make my point I want to acknowledge that The Echo is a very dynamic and interesting paper for many reasons. Also, this is by no means a defence of the police ‘dude’ involved. I was shocked to see a double page spread of this article. I agree that the police ‘dude’ was ‘off the chain’ and needs to be either stood down or taught some respect for the public he/

she is meant to be protecting, however, does The Echo really need to make a double page spread of this story? If so, then why not educate the younger population of Byron about police brutality nationwide at the same time? I know it is a local story, but sometimes I wonder if localism is a mask for naivety in this area. I mean, come on – an Aboriginal man dies in the back of a paddy wagon this year from dehydration and heat exposure, an uncle from where I grew up was last seen taken away by a paddy wagon (in the 70s) and then found dead by the Brisbane river with his head caved in. People of minority backgrounds are oppressed and brutalised (physically as well as mentally) every week in this nation and as soon as a young mainstream Australian girl is mentally traumatised by the cops, it makes a big double page Echo spread. Spare a thought for the thousands of Aboriginal people who have died in police custody. Think of all the Aborigi-

definitions in an attempt to convince us there is nothing derogatory about the word ‘dude’, why is he ignoring the fact that even the word ‘officer’ can be used in a derogatory way? Perhaps he should highlight the definition of ‘tone’, ‘attitude’, ‘respect’ and ‘common sense’ to the child involved in this unnecessary confrontation. (Not to mention to her numerous, no doubt vocally supportive mates). Did she become school captain by referring to her teachers as ‘dudes’? As for the child’s mother in this sorry tale, a ‘formidable woman’ who chooses to deal with these officers as if they were part of the brutal apartheid regime, is that not more likely to define ‘overreaction’? You don’t have to be terribly bright to avoid run-ins with police, regardless of how arrogant their shit job renders Name supplied them. Simply shut up and do as you are told.

Youth shine

For a long time I have thought of your journal and staffers as a bunch of flat-earthers with strange religious fixations. Your front page of 22.12.09 has removed all doubt.

Was so pleased to read your headline story in my Echo online that the Byron Shire Youth Council is a reality. Well done, Rita Youssef Price, for all your painstaking and meticulous work in developing and establishing this intitiative. Youth councils are notoriously hard to achieve. Congratulations to all of you who have made the committment to get involved in it. Knowing the Byron Shire as I do, I am fully expecting to hear wonderful doings and achievements from this newly formed body. People power rocks! I trust that all young people in the Shire will get behind your representatives and make sure your voices are heard in Council. Great to see the CDAT team’s work up in Brunswick Heads too – go Michele and Co! Good luck with it all from the big City (or ‘Tizzy’ as my two year old grandchild calls it) and season’s greetings.

I do really feel sorry for this poor girl and was very angered by the police dude’s actions, but really, get some perspective. If she died at the hands of police brutality or was even injured then OK, but comparatively speaking this is such a minor incident.

awareness. It’s not a conspiracy because it’s not hidden; just follow the money. It’s just one more scam in a world of scams and here’s how it works. There’s a perception that An Inconvenient Truth caused a global environmental awakening. This is completely untrue; the awakening had been happening for some time and, clearly, ‘business as usual’ also noticed. Among their very sophisticated political skills is the ability to identify social trends in order to exploit them and/or protect their own interests. Possibly significant but by no means the largest environmental concern, carbon emissions was processed through the fear factory, another political skill. Then, with very slick production, instant global distribution through the ’business as usual’ owned media and a public relations fanfare, carbon emissions was presented as the only concern, and emissions trading as the only solution by Al Gore, who had previously been almost silent on the environment. To the newly awakened earth people it all sounded environmentally cuddly and, with their new-found awareness, were prepared for environmental health to cost them. ‘Cap and Trade’ will certainly cost them but turns out to be environmentally meaningless; lots of trading and little, if any, capping.

Supermarkets, angst and the role of the law Look at all the angst in Mullumbimby in recent years over Woolworths’ plans to open in the town. Yet Spar Supermarket opened in the heart of Byron a week or two ago without so much as a whisper, as far as I’m aware. I’m not drawing any conclusions. Just interesting to note.

bingo! The residents will welcome them for not tromping on all that is fragile and sacred to them, especially for not constructing their non-architect designed and people unfriendly box in their town centre or worse still on some beautiful, open land. The trouble is with Woolworths is they will not listen to their customers’ voices. They do their own research and development and to hell with the human being. Well, the time has come that an email like this will find its way to the CEO and maybe, just maybe, they will wake up.

The Chicago Carbon Exchange, set up by Al Gore and his mates, are the middlemen in this scheme. As the trading exchange they will collect commissions on every single trade. Even better, Al Gore’s company gets to create the credits out of thin air. The perfect scam: economically harvest the population and simultaneously divert attention away from the main game. The sheer wealth of ’business as usual’ pulls the strings, this

way and that, as the political puppets are squabbling over the emissions trading scheme. Meanwhile our environment is being destroyed. Our species depends on it for our survival and the rate of destruction is increasing daily. If we want a sustainable future there is a real need to reclaim the environmental initiative because the earth doesn’t do bail-outs and it doesn‘t do scams. Welcome to the real world; it’s one that prob-

ferred hearings. The case was supposed to be about whether or not Byron Shire Council was right to refuse Woolworths onsite sewage system. Instead, it became a round-table compromise on how the legal minds could agree on an onsite system for Woolworths so they could go ahead and build their big box. The hearings had been deferred so that Woolworths could come up with a new plan. This was not about justice – this was about a deal. The format of the process is that now Commissioner Hussey, having heard speeches from both sides, has got the exhibits to look at, will now make a decision on whether or not Woolworths onsite system will be approved. He becomes the consent authority down there at

The great melting ice debate bubbles along... If A McTavish and O T Baggio didn’t fill their glasses to the brim then any melting ice shouldn’t spill. They should also agree that salty ice will almost always spoil a drink, and that school children shouldn’t be encouraged to experiment with alcohol, either with or without ice.

â–

J Harrison

Byron Bay Thank you O T for your (slightly) less high-handed wording and approach. I will

â–

discuss this issue publicly, thanks. Firstly, I have read Peter Noerdlinger’s paper ‘The Melting of Floating Ice will Raise the Ocean Level’ from which you (appear) to get you information, correct? I have also read numerous science blogs that dispute his findings and the theory in general. He r e’s o n e . h t t p : / / scienceblogs.com/ illconsidered/2009/04/0h_for_ two_melting_sea_ice_and. php. I’m sure Peter as a scientist

would enjoy the controversy, the stimulation of thought and hopefully more research. I really don’t care. Look, this is continuing on a tangent from my original point that any scientist that has vested interests in his research outcomes is to be ‘put under the microscope’. Also any “scientist� who quotes a neat two metre sea level rise (‘Sea levels could reach the upper limit of two metres by the turn of the century’, ABC online 25/11/09)

because of Arctic sea ice melt, is to be questioned. Whose research is this? What formula was used? Has the research been peer reviewed? Interestingly, Noerdlinger concluded that if all the sea ice on the planet melted, not just the Arctic, there would be an approximately 4cm rise in sea level. I apologise for having a go at your university quals from the early sixties, that was unnecessary. But thanks to the internet, I will access the cur-

rent greatest minds from the whole planet to reach my conclusions, thanks. Oh, and I think you will find that primary school kids are still being taught what I said originally. Andy McTavish

Goonengerry In his letter of December 1, Andy McTavish stated that ‘Arctic sea ice has no influence on sea level rise’. In reply (December 8) Mr O T Baggio pointed out that, contrary to

Andy’s belief that ‘floating ice will displace its own volume’, a floating object in fact displaces its own weight, not volume, of the fluid it is floating in. Mr Baggio was quite correct, but then he went on at length about icebergs and shelf ice, although Andy had been talking about floating sea ice. Mr Baggio then said that ‘a floating iceberg when melted would increase in fluid volume by 2.6%’, followed by a calculation that probably lost most people who were still trying to follow his argument. An iceberg floating in the sea will displace its own weight of fresh water. Because fresh water is lighter than sea water, the volume of fresh water will be greater than the volume of sea water the iceberg had displaced, so it will raise the sea level slightly. Again, Mr Baggio was quite correct, but what did that have to do with the floating sea ice that Andy was talking about? It’s no wonder Andy had trouble understanding all this (December 15). It was not until well into his second letter (December 22) that Mr Baggio got to the point, that the Arctic sea ice is largely fresh water, and when it melts it will create a larger volume (by 2.6%) than the volume of the denser sea water it displaced as floating ice. He then changed the subject again to icebergs – I suspect Andy, and probably most Echo readers, were by then even more confused. There are two interesting points that Mr Baggio didn’t get on to. Firstly, if melting sea ice raises sea level, it must lower sea level when it freezes, so the melting sea ice is only returning the sea level to what it was before the ice froze. Secondly, a simple calculation shows that when all the remaining Arctic summer sea ice melts it will raise global sea level by less than one millimetre. Yes, less than one millimetre. Mr Baggio may be technically correct, but in the real world, where we are looking at sea level rises of metres from thermal expansion and melting land ice, I think Andy McTavish comes out ahead – that is, if he hasn’t been buried under Mr Baggio’s icebergs.

Body & Soul website

Placing bids in cyberspace takes off Obi McDonald-Saint

Byron Shire’s guide to the healing arts industry has just celebrated its tenth birthday with its 23rd issue, and has launched its website, www.byronbodyandsoul.com Published and founded by Mark O’Brien (previously known as Alok, editor of the now defunct Here & Now magazine), pictured above, the Byron Body & Soul Guide has grown from its initial 5,000 copies three times a year to 15,000 copies printed twice yearly. ‘Over the past ten years it has become the gateway to alternative health and wellbeing through which locals and visitors alike are able to access the plethora of talented healers and teachers who call Byron home,’ says Mark. ‘The website is a place to find extended information about the practitioners in the Guide, as well as reviews of a wide

range of sessions (remember the Here & Now’s Session of the Month?) and a ever-growing range of articles reflecting my eclectic interests. ‘With articles ranging from the latest in health, eco and enviro news and advances, to naturopathy and fitness, to spirituality, to sex and relationships to stories from individuals sharing their particular journeys, and free events listing, byronbodyandsoul.com fills the information gap that the demise of the Here & Now left in Byron Shire. Articles are invited from the community about their particular interest, be it spiritual or otherwise. Advertorials not accepted.’ Story competition: Submit a story about your favourite spiritual experience and win an Oscar juicer valued at $495. Go to the website and follow the links.

The potential and popularity of online auctions is staggering. Such a simple way of selling products combined with the global reach of the internet makes online auctions far more successful than their offline counterparts could ever hope to be. Online auctions sell more products to more people all over the world non-stop 24 hours a day. eBay has lead the online auction charge since its Labor Day weekend start up in 1995. Major online auctions following in eBay’s stead include Amazon, uBid, Grays Online, Bidz and BidRivals. When it comes to auctioning off goods, many of the online auctions follow a similar model to eBay: whoever has the highest bid when the time runs out gets the prize.

Addictive But not all online auctions follow this model. Bidz is an auction site devoted entirely to jewellery. The auctions are conducted ‘live’, which means every time a bid is placed, the auction price is updated on the screen – you don’t have to refresh your browser. Plus, as the auction is about to end, placing a bid will add more time to the auction countdown. This way the auction can carry on for some time and become quite addictive. Bidz auctions often offer savings greater then 90 per cent off the advertised retail price. Another way Bidz differs from eBay is the manner in which the auctions are conducted. Bidz is an in-house auction, selling products it owns, as opposed to eBay, which acts as a host, selling other people’s products. Grays

Online boasts the best of both worlds, auctioning their own in-house product range as well as vendor’s commercial and industrial goods. BidRivals offers premium products, cameras, laptops, flatscreen, and other electronic devices, but they’ve developed a new model altogether. On the surface, BidRivals is similar to Bidz; live auctions and extra time when a bid is placed close to an auction’s end. But this is where the similarities end. The bid price isn’t placed by the bidders. Instead, it starts at two cents and every time a bid is placed, the price increases by two cents. The tricky part: it costs 90 cents to buy a bid.

Selling bids Simple arithmetic says BidRivals isn’t making money by auctioning premium goods. They’re making money by selling bids. Say, for instance, a Sony PlayStation 3, which retails for about $500, is listed at two cents and sells for $20 (999 bids later). A massive saving for the auction winner but an an even bigger win for BidRivals. They just made $900 in bids, plus another $20 from the winner of the auction. This model is also different from other online auctions in

that losers don’t just miss out on winning the product, they actually lose money in bids along the way. This is where the line between online auctions and online gambling begins to blur. Especially when you add the exciting nature of live auctions and the thrill of winning an item at a fraction of the retail price. How is this different from sitting in front of a poker machine, losing your money a fraction at a time?

Greater interaction The future of online auctions look set to becomes more immersive and interactive, no doubt permeating to your phone and devices. Expect to see more of those ‘SMS your lowest unique bid’ auctions on television. Reverse auctions, which put the buyer in charge, and pit seller against seller, will become more popular on the internet, as will virtual auctioneers, animated characters who conduct auctions in a similar way to conventional auctioneers, but can run multiple auctions at once and don’t need to sleep. As online auctions continue to grow, no doubt local businesses who sell the same products will be affected. But once you factor in delivery costs, the time it takes for an item to ar-

rive, the hassles involved if the item is lost, damaged, or not the one you ordered, buying the product locally remains an attractive option, even if a little more expensive. Online auctions don’t let you try a product before you buy. You buy based on a description and a handful of photographs. You can’t try clothes on to see if they fit, you can’t take a pushbike for a spin to see if it is safe. In fact, online shopping has removed much of the ‘shopping’ experience. This is where local retailers have an advantage. In many respects, online auctions actually promote local business as the auctions encourage greater research and product awareness. Customers take this knowledge into a local retailer, take a closer look at the product, hold it in their hands, and with the immediacy of the purchase too tempting, walk out carrying their new product. Online auctions can be a great way to save money and a lot of fun, especially when you pip a rival to a winning bid. But online auctions can also be disappointing and disheartening when you’re ripped off or get something you didn’t actually want. Just like any shopping experience, know your product, trust your gut and buyer beware. ■Popular

Mistake: The sky is blue because it reflects the blue colour of the ocean. Correction: The sky is blue because out of the seven different colours that make up sunlight (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet), it is the blue light that is most scattered by the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the air. This scattered blue light then gets scattered again and again, rebounding off just about everything, making it look as if the blue light is coming from all directions in the sky, and not just from the sun. So the blue-ness of the sky is all down to a cosmic pinball game between the incoming blue light and some pretty important gas molecules in the air.

Earth is closer to the sun in ously then, distance from the summer. sun can’t be the main reason for the considerable variation Correction: Because the Earth in temperature we experience has an elliptical rather than a here on Earth. perfectly circular orbit around The culprit turns out to be the sun, sometimes it is a lit- the Earth itself – or rather, how tle closer to the sun than at the Earth leans.

The Earth has a tilt. It doesn’t point straight up. And it is this tilt that gives us our seasons and their accompanying temperatures. Sometimes this tilt is towards the sun, and sometimes it is away from the sun. So the hottest time of the year for us in Australia, or for anywhere in the southern hemisphere, is when that part of the world is leaning towards the sun, and this happens from December to February every year. Correspondingly, the coldest time for us is when the Earth’s south pole, hence our part of the world, is tilted away from the sun, around June to August each year, our winter. Who would have thought that angles could be so important outside a maths class? – Marie and Philip Starrynight Planetarium www.starrynight.com.au

ArtsCape set for June 2010 Look after your marine park Organisers of the artsCape Sculpture Exhibition, planned for June 26-July 11 this year at the Clarkes Beach Reserve, Byron Bay, outline their vision for the event: What happens when you bring over 50 local, national and international artists into one of the most exquisite natural places in the world? Answer: artsCape, an exhibition of environmental sculpture sited within the beautiful beachside parklands in the heart of Byron. artsCape is a free all ages 16 day outdoor sculpture event which aims to promote community cultural development in the Northern Rivers region. Professional sculptors from the region, across Australia and the world will create sculptures which convey messages about nature, the environment and sustainability. Through playfulness, humour, beauty, mystery and surprise, they will explore themes as diverse as flora and fauna, ecology, marine conservation, water, air quality, the land and indigenous culture. Sculptures will vary in scale from the small and intimately engaging to dramatic large scale statements.

High quality A non-profit arts organisation has been formed to provide the framework for an ongoing event. Their vision is to create a nationally significant biennial exhibition in Byron Bay which showcases high quality contemporary sculpture in local landscapes of natural significance. The committee comprises founding chairman of Sotheby’s Australia Robert Bleakley, professional artists Ken Johnson and Allen Horstmanshof, a media and communications graduate, journalist, retired solicitor and two local experienced business people. ‘There is little doubt in my mind that this event has the makings of what could become a celebrated show of national importance which will stimulate cultural tourism to this area,’ says Robert Bleakely, chairman of artsCape Biennial Inc. The inaugural artsCape at Cape Byron in 2005 was Byron Bay’s first outdoor sculpture exhibition, officially opened by Andrew Denton and highly acclaimed both locally and nationally. 2010 is shaping up to be even better! Confirmed is the participation of four significant international sculptors; Bert Flugelman from Australia, Phil Price from New Zealand, Usama Alnassar from Syria and Andy Scott from Scotland. They will join a small group of invited artists with the majority of exhibitors being selected through an open expression of interest process to be conducted in late Jan 2010. www.echo.net.au

Local residents and founders of the inaugural event at Cape Byron, Merran Morrison and Rebecca Townsend, have been engaged to curate and project manage the 2010 event. They bring extensive experience in staging successful outdoor sculpture events, including Sculpture by the Sea Bondi and Tasman Peninsula, Sculpture in the City, Martin Place, The Casuarina Sculpture Walk and The East Coast Sculpture Show.

Surge in popularity ‘Over the last 10 years there has been a surge in popularity of outdoor sculpture exhibitions in Australia. Places as beautiful as Byron Bay offer wonderful natural settings that enhance the context of understanding sculpture and the public’s experience of it,’ say Merran and Rebecca. Their curatorial approach will be to get the right mix of artists for the exhibition, to have a strong local contingent but equally important for those artists to exhibit alongside renowned national and international artists. Established artists with a high public profile also assist the exhibition by increasing visitation and improving artwork sales opportunities for all exhibitors (artsCape has committed five per cent of all sculpture sales from the 2010 event to The Northern Rivers Community Foundation). The 2010 event, with some financial support already forthcoming from NSW Industry & Investment, The Caledonia Foundation, Byron United and Regional Arts NSW, is a perfect fit with regional cultural, social and economic strategies, specifically in building cultural capital in the creative industries. artsCape aims to make a

significant contribution to the artistic and cultural development of the Byron Region by engaging professional artists, bringing national and overseas artists to a regional location, engaging young people and emerging artists, tapping into existing cultural resources and bringing potential art buyers to the area.

Sponsors sought A major source of funding for the event will be through the support of commercial sponsors. In early 2010, artsCape will be launching a sponsorship campaign, aimed at companies with environmental credentials, to help raise the substantial funds to stage the free community event. Private patrons wishing to make donations will now be eligible for tax deductibility by donating through the Australia Cultural Fund of which artsCape is now registered. Exciting new initiatives for 2010 include an extensive Youth Education Program involving local primary and high school students. Experienced artists will be engaged to work with students on a number of different projects to produce and exhibit their work at the exhibition. Local art teachers will be involved in producing education kits which schools can access from the website www. artscapebiennial.org (currently under construction). While the Northern Rivers is known for its major music, literature, film and, increasingly, theatre events, there is nothing that significantly engages residents with the visual arts. Byron Shire Council support of the 2010 event confirms the importance of artsCape in the Shire.

The NSW Marine Parks Authority has issued a reminder to all holidaymakers intending to venture into one of the beautiful marine parks along the NSW coast this summer to remember their zoning plan guides. An MPA spokeswoman said NSW parks were multiple use parks, which meant most areas within the parks allowed fishing and other recreational activities. She said however a small percentage of the parks were zoned as sanctuaries where no fishing or collecting was permitted.

‘Sanctuary zones or “notake” areas provide the highest level of protection to marine life and habitat, and are also very important for marine research and monitoring. ‘Sanctuary zones vary in location from marine park to marine park and zoning guides are an essential way to ensure you don’t accidentally venture into one of these important conservation areas. ‘We want everyone to have a fun, and a safe holiday. Our marine park officers will be on the water to answer any of your questions about the park and the marine environment.

‘Fishing and collecting in a sanctuary attracts an on-thespot fine of $500 so it’s a really good idea to pick up a zoning guide from one of the many accommodation and information centres, general stores and fishing supply outlets around the marine parks.’ She said the zoning guides could also be picked up from local marine parks offices and were online at www.mpa.nsw. gov.au ‘Education about the zones is a high priority for the Marine Parks Authority and we’ll be doing our best over summer to spread the message.’

Black Dog writing comp The spotlight for the latest Black Dog Institute Writing Competition is on people 60 years and older who have experienced ‘late onset’ depression. According to Professor Gordon Parker, Executive Director of the Black Dog Institute, the challenge is finding answers for older people and their carers. Professor Parker said that an estimated eight percent of older adults in Australia suffer from depression, although those experiencing ‘late onset’ depression are a smaller proportion of this group. The 2009/10 competition invites entries from the Australasian region. Prizes will be awarded for the three best essay entries. Essays are to be no more than 1500 words. The closing date for receipt of entries is January 15. Participants are required to complete an application form and forward, where possible, an electronic copy of their essay to blackdog@blackdog. org.au plus an original copy of the essay on A4 paper (paper clip/not stapled) by post, addressed to: Black Dog Institute Writing Competition, Black Dog Institute, Hospital Road, Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick NSW 2031. The Institute will also accept hand-written entries.

win WIL TIX

We have a double pass to see Wil Anderson at the Byron Pandanus Lounge (at the Services’ Club) on Saturday and Sunday 20 & 21 February. Email gigs@echo.net.au ith subject header ‘Wil it to happen’.

Raym Richards is the creative director for Starlight Wellbeing Expo. This twice yearly event brings together the best alternative and new age practictioners in the gentle art of personal and planetary healing. The Echo spoke with Raym about just what the festival has in store this year. Great local healers combined with guest speakers from around the world who will be sharing their passion insights and wisdom. I do my best each expo to create a space where visitors can experience inspiration, relaxation, enlightenment and healing. We also have free healings in the healathon, crystal singing bowl meditations and some great speakers. On Thursday we have the Crystal Skull expert, Dee Hearne with her collection of crystal skulls from the UK. She will share some of her adventures with the skulls and lead a guided meditation. Many people believe there are 13 crystal skulls on this planet that hold the key to our destiny and she has spent time with one of them. On Friday we have a welcome return from Dan Winter – inventor and general all round Renaissance man from the States. This man is a walking encyclopaedia on all things fractal and sacred geometrical. He will be displaying his bliss tuner. I have participated in some experiments with it and it really

works. The Bliss Tuner actually measures bliss states, quite an interesting proposition. On Saturday we have a crop circle authority who has spent many years studying the phenomena as well as eighteen months in the field in the UK. What an enigma these huge patterns in the crops are. Ignored by the mass media, there have been 12,000 crop circles documented since 1983 and I don’t think many were created by two blokes with a plank. Averaging 300 metres in length, these creations are often very complex and usually appear overnight. Some believe they have coded messages within their design. Who is making them? How and why? Megan Heazlewood has a few ideas to share. On Sunday, after years of badgering from me, Tjanara Goreng Goreng has agreed to run a workshop on aboriginal Law and Spirituality. She is an initiated healer herself as well as having several degrees, an MA and is completing her PhD. You could say she has a foot in both the traditional and modern worlds of Australia. She works for an international consultancy based in Sydney. She is a bighearted woman and a great speaker, I am really pleased to have her at the expo. What does wellbeing actually mean? I guess healing might imply you are unwell and need healing whereas wellbeing

implies a more holistic perspective to your health – it’s a mind, body and spirit connection, and involves conscious lifestyle choices. It is a more expansive and inclusive description of what’s on offer. This expo is also for everyone who might be remotely interested in maintaining a peak state of wellness, without using drugs.

What turnMy own personal opinion is arounds have you seen for that people are getting tired people with alternative of visiting the mainstream therapies? practitioners for the same prescription that just maintains How long have you got? I and every therapist at the expo, all a level of wellness but does have firsthand experience of not look at the root cause dramatic and positive results. of the health imbalance and Many therapists ended up actually getting better.

Don’t get themselves and the modality me wrong, I have no problem they now work in was the with doctors, I visit them one that helped them. It’s myself when I need to, it’s just probably easier for me to talk that the way our system has evolved there is a great deal of truthfully about my own area of expertise which is spiritual emphasis placed on treating the symptoms rather than the or shamanic healing. With this cause of any health challenge. technique people are able to locate the root cause of their Complementary therapies

We located seven points in her body that were holding past life trauma and released them. She left the session pain free and walking normally. That’s been typical of my experience over a fifteen year period but I am wary of even suggesting that miracle healings are possible as I would never want to mislead anyone, every case is different.

The Starlight Wellbeing Expo is on at the Bangalow A&I Hall Thursday through to Sunday from 9.30am in the morning until 5pm each day.

The Byron Shire Echo January 5, 2010 21

Mandy Nolan

I love depressing music. Usually sung by manic depressive men lamenting a lost love. I think it proves that there is a fine line between whingeing and despair, shit and art. For instance, I detest Alex Lloyd but adore Lloyd Cole. I am revolted by Damien Lieth but enraptured by the plaintiff wail of Damien Rice. The sentimental refrain of Don McClean makes me want to vomit, but the twisted whisky-infused, pornaddicted plea for help of a chainsmoking loner like Don Walker inspires me to send him a batch of scones. After a long day of delivering hilarity to the hoia polloi if you want to lift my spirits then pop on the great Master of melancholy, Leonard Cohen. As he moans for Marianne, my heart swells. I can smell the pain. It’s authentic, well articulated and desperate. It’s the emotional outpourings of the ultimate masculine recluse. Why Suzanne is feeding him tea and oranges I’ll never know, but next time I want to make an impression on a bloke I’m coming out with orange quarters like a soccer mum at half time.

Elton was no stranger to sadness. Any man with a bald spot at 23 knows how to access the pain palace – he never quite got there but he did sum it up beautifully with ‘sad songs say so much’. Happy songs suck. When was the last time a few refrains of ‘Happy Birthday to You’ touched your soul? Personally, nothing makes me happier than closing my eyes and absorbing the deeper horror of Nick Cave’s murder ballads. I imagine his translucent Gollumlike fingers around the smooth, white throat of Kylie Minogue and something inside me sings.

Gothic, dark, twisted tales of pessimism and despair. It’s so refreshing. Ambient dolphin chime-infested rainforest waterfall, gushing, bhuto monk throat singing massage tapes make me feel violent. Indy rock bores me. Dance beats and Techno makes me want Panadol and Pop music is just plain stupid, the nicotine delivery device of

the music world. Addictive, alluring, but cancerous. I’ve known people to develop inoperable tumours on their taste glands. These people are easy to identify, they’re the ones humming along to a Brittney song. There’s a certain attraction in hearing blokes wax about their broken lives and demolished hearts. Women do it all the time. It’s our language. But the fellas are usually pretty shtum about it. Sinead O’Connor may have had a huge hit with her heart wrenching cry ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, but it was Prince’s song. A short man who in the game of love just didn’t measure up. I worked out that I love depressing music for one of three reasons: one, it helps me access that stockroom of sweet sadness where all creativity resides, two, it’s my alcoholic father’s fault for getting pissed every night and playing Tom Jones’ Green Green Grass of Home (a heartwrenching song about a serial killer who is brought to justice and hung in his town square. It’s horrible how sad you feel for him, it’s got the same evil emotional impact as The Ballad of Dennis Ferguson, a track not yet written, but I am sure Mr Cave will pen something shortly… could be aka Smokie’s Living Next Door.. to Dennis). And then there’s the third and probably most likely reason – I like to hear men suffer. It relaxes me.

live music The Woman is King She’s a breathtaking sight. Compact, petite, pretty. Until she walks on stage she could be any girl from the crowd. But she’s not. She’s Kaki King. The girl discovered busking in a New York subway. She brings her street smarts to the stage at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday. Kaki’s first tour to Australia in 2007 resulted five sell-out shows, the result of people eager to see what the strong buzz was about. It was a phenomenal reaction to an artist almost no-one here had heard of before, and the beginning of an ongoing love affair between Kaki and her Australian audiences. Thumping bass lines, tapping melodies, and slapping percussion on her guitar, Kaki King is a one-woman force wreaking havoc. She’s a riveting performer, combining jaw-dropping technique with unique compositions. Her playing has a passion and an edge that keeps her tenuously balanced, one foot in the acoustic world, the other in rock’n’roll. Don’t miss her. She’s truly sensational.

ain’t going to stop. She had the prestigious opportunity of opening the main stage at Peat’s Ridge Festival for their New Years Eve celebrations this year. She will play alongside friend and fellow song writer Grace Barbe, for two very special shows at Coorabell and Bellingen.

Her amazing voice soars and is so versatile – from the more soulful and sweetly spoken guitar tunes, to the more upbeat reggae tunes.’ Coorabell Hall on Friday. 8pm $20 at the door.

If there was ever a woman you would imagine leading a Mayan festival, decked in flowers and bone it would be Saritah. There is something strangely ancient, primitive and powerful about both her performance and her presence.

A freak surfing accident, in which he broke his neck, resulted in him losing the use of his left hand. The doctors doubted he would be able to play guitar again, but, through persistence, he slowly recovered and the playing of music greatly assisted in his recuperation. The result of his experience and inspiration, is the acclaimed debut album, The Morning Light. Sunday at The Lennox Point Hotel. Check the website for details: www.myspace.com/ mrblackandblues

Speaking Up

SoulSong

Byron outfit Mr Speaker have been rapidly carving out a niche for themselves as purveyors of a rare style of swing and funk music that sees people cast aside previous conceptions of the genres and embrace the new sound with both feet. The band began atop a hill in Broken Head as a five piece about four years ago with a rhythm section consisting of Mick Hidden on drums, Keiran Allen on bass and Tim Annis-Brown on guitar, complemented by the melodies of jazz saxophonist Matt Brooker and the remarkable vocals of Greg Corcoran. They have been joined by other local musicians John Graham on percussion and Camilla Hodgkins on keyboards, making their sound bigger, better and more versatile than ever, creating a writhing seven-piece monster of swing, blues and funk that gets the crowd on its feet. The Rails this Friday from 6.30pm.

Miriam OhevetEL and her ensemble SOUL SONG will present their Australian musical tour ‘Closeness to God’, an ecumenical musical event with audience participation at the Mullum Civic Hall on January 23. Miriam OhevetEL sings her melodies to King David’s Psalms, as well as to verses of Rumi’s mystic poetry. Tavor Ben Dor, musician and peace activist, accompanies her on Sitar. A percussionist will also be joining the duo in Australia. This one-and-ahalf hour program includes songs and prayers based on inspiring verses of wisdom, taken from the Jewish and Sufi (Muslim) spiritual traditions, emphasizing how much they have in common. The night will exemplify main themes of Inner\Outer Peace, Closeness to God, Love and Unity, while connecting with the audience through singing, dancing and sharing. Born and raised in Jerusalem, Miriam OhevetEL

is a very creative singer, songwriter, composer, poet, actress, dancer, therapist, teacher, and above all, an Israeli woman who is in love with God. She grew up in a Karliner Hassidic family, where she absorbed their passionate and joyous spirit. She has also experienced a long and rewarding search for her own deep spirituality, integrating innovations with traditional Jewish sources. As a result she has become a pioneer in the Jewish Renewal movement in Israel. Her authentic reflection upon the Bible has resulted in a unique expression of traditional and original songs and melodies which she sings in Hebrew, English and Arabic. Miriam infuses ancient texts with great joy, depth and faith.

Miriam is also a Peace Activist working with ‘The All Nations CafÊ’ www.allnationscafe. org, an artists’ initiative that provides space for Israelis and Palestinians who ‘refuse to be enemies’ to meet, sing, play and talk from the heart. Doors open at 7pm. Show 8pm. Tickets: Full price (+BF) $25 / $30 on door. Concession $20 (+BF) / $25 on door. Tix available from: Mullum Books and www.kupromotions.oztix. com.au

Jimeoin Smells Funny

He’s back. The lovable smirking Irishman who won his way into the hearts of Australian audiences well over a decade ago. Every January, Jimeoin touches down for a laugh with North Coast Audience. This is the first chance Australian audiences will get to see Jimeoin’s new show and there’s a hilarious aroma in the air. For a good, clean laugh, you can’t go past Jimeoin. Born in Belfast, he arrived in Australia at the age of 22 where he found work as a gardener, whiling away hours communing with nature, he had plenty of time to think and clearly he’s done OK for himself since then. He is one of the very few artists to have his own show, which aired on the Seven network in the mid-90’s for three seasons. He’s appeared on every TV show you can think of (Thank God You’re Here, Good News Week, Hey Hey it’s Saturday, Full Frontal + in the USA on ‘Late 3-piece electric blues rock Nights with Conan O’Brien’ to band formed in Auckland in an estimated audience of over 1993. The Hipshooters play 13 million), written and starred electrifying blues with a Texas/ in hit movies (The Craic and The Hendrix edge.

remember my first foray into art. I was six years old and I won a state wide competition for drawing the best monster. It was a shoe in. I lived in a dysfunctional family with a violent father. I knew what monsters actually looked like. I still treasure my faded book on insects. It was an affirmation from an early age that I had an artistic bent. It’s never stopped. Tutor MarieFrance Boissonneault will teach hand building techniques to construct three dimensional characters from clay. Students will take inspiration from Michelle Dawson’s exhibition Here Be Monsters and then head back to the workshop for construction time. The workshop is just $50 and is suite for kids 6 and up. Monday from 10am - 1pm. For more workshop information call the gallery on 6670 2790.

This project is vibrant and also doubles as a full live accompaniment to the Natyashakti dance company’s performance! There is also a showing of local artist Danesvara Benson’s art works – highly desirable pieces which employ multi media as well as oil and ink. Murwillumbah is justly famous for its cosmopolitan mixture of cultures, and the close connection many of the local residents have had with the Indian sub-continent means that this festival of dance will resonate widely with the community.

An-ten-nae’s Acid Crunk at Rubber Adam O’Hana aka An-tennae is another gem from San Francisco’s bass boomers, whompers and crunkers visiting The Bay. Adam’s taste for leftfield genre bending booty shaking dirt synthesis became integral to An-ten-nae’s beat pioneering in San Francisco. From trance to breaks to dubstep, he has since developed his original sound which he calls Acid Crunk. Active in West Coast’s burgeoning underground music culture, Adam was involved with the launch of Blueroom America and Fuel USA, co-founded distribution company Eyephunk, was partner in Frequency-8 record store, managed Ceiba Records and now runs MUTI MUSIC; Adam gave many DJs and artists such as Bassnectar and Tipper exposure through his parties and his club nights at club 1015. Now touring as Anten-nae with his ACID CRUNK Vol.2 he brings fine beats and the ‘low slung crunk’ of artists such as Datsik, Marty Party, Akira Keteshi, Ill Esha, Ill.Gates & Filastine and of course his own to Liquid Tuesday, January 12 before heading to play at Rainbow Serpent. Q: Who’s hot on your playlist? A: ‘It really changes so fast and I mix so many elements of tracks. It’s really a unique way of playing, so play lists are irrelevant.’ Q: Describe Acid Crunk Vol.2 please? A: ‘Take UK dubstep and west coast mid-tempo glitch put it in a blender, ad a pinch of funk, a dash of love and a whole clove of bass…’ Q: What can people expect from your show at LiQUiD? A: ‘What happens when you put electro in a blender with dubstep and remix it live at dizzying speeds… Really stoked to be playing in Byron again, it’s been like a decade since I’ve been there last.’ An-ten-nea is supported by RUBBER DJs Ketastep, Miss Luna and Dakini; entry is $15.

Q: Where are you at musically nowadays? A: ‘A modern take on funk is where I am at now. I have a project called Bush Doctors with Jam Stone from Fingerpicker that is influenced by ‘70’s funk and disco but we are taking it somewhere new. I have a double EP out in early 2010 called Street Segal which will be pushing all things funky. I think making music at 134BPM is not really for me any more.’ Q: Has dub step and/ or electro house had an influence on your compositions? A: ‘When electro took the world by storm about four years I did incorporate some of the sounds because they were fresh… now they sound stale. With Dub Step I like the more dobby stuff and I found it interesting what people like

Burial were doing. Now it bores the shit out of me…most of it sounds the same.’ Q: Despite facebook, has myspace remained a good networking tool for musicians? A: ‘Yes I think so. You put up your new music and people can listen to it… still a good place to find new music. Other than that it has become full of people wanting to promote their own stuff on your space which is rubbish.’ Q: How has TCR survived with all the free downloading and digital download/ distribution sites? A: ‘It hasn’t really, people getting the music for free has meant that it is not viable for me to run TCR as a label for other artists. I now just concentrate on my own stuff and don’t expect anything from sales… if a track makes

Q: What is new in the studio, any new collaborations? A: ‘I am working on stuff for TV and doing my first film score. Relevant stuff will be made into full-length dance tracks but I am enjoying the creative freedom such work gives you… including working with real musicians. When you start doing stuff to picture it’s very exciting and marrying visuals and sound is the future.’ Q: You have a passion for painting? A: ‘The picture of me incorporates one of the paintings I have a small painting studio that adjoins my music studio so I can flit between the two. I prefer doing abstract stuff and it’s very satisfying to be doing something artistic that’s physical. I plan on doing some shows in 2010.’ Q: What can people expect from you on your OZ tour? A: ‘Well I will play some TCR favourites but I am pushing what’s being called ‘Nu Funk’ as much as I can because I think you guys will really like it and let’s face it there’s more to life than nasty noises.’ Support is Skool of Thought and DJ Gravy.

and the story as an analogy of nature v modern consumerism is transparent – and important for all youngsters to understand. Nelson Lowry’s uncompromisingly symmetrical but vividly coloured design, in harmony with the cinematography of Tristan Oliver are a celebration for the eyes, and their luxurious visuals are enhanced by spot-on music from Alexandre Desplat (the children’s singing in the climax lifts a manic ambush to ethereal heights, to say nothing of a bullish injection of the Rolling Stones’ Street Fighting Man). Nor does the medium smother the message, even if Anderson is wont to spell it out, viz., some creatures, through rat cunning and improvisation, will adapt to our species’ murk and survive, albeit in radically altered surroundings. If you were enchanted by The Wind In The Willows, never doubting the truth of Ratty, Mole and Toad, you will love this – I certainly did. ~ John Campbell

neck. Between the great sleuth and his friend Dr Watson, Ritchie attempts to establish the wisecracking camaraderie of Butch and Sundance, but the pair can do no better than approximate Martin and Lewis in Harris Tweed. Chases and fights and explosions are in super abundance, some of them re-wound to allow for explication, but Holmes’s recorded taste for cocaine is snuffed out, unlike the habit of Johnny Depp’s opium addled detective in the superior From Hell (2001). The difference between an M and an MA rating it may be, but it’s fiercely ironic given Downey Jr’s celebrated misadventures. As Watson, Jude Law is, typically, neither here nor there, while

Sherlock Holmes A demanding schedule of Christmas carousing had done me in, so, like Norman Mailer’s battered boxer, I succumbed to ‘the sweet swooning catacombs of oblivion’ and nodded off halfway through this fizzer. Alas, I was only allowed a couple of minutes shut-eye before its ceaseless racket hoiked me back into sordid reality – I preyed for it to end quickly. Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla (2008) was a crackerjack movie. Its plot was devious but comprehensible, its shonky heroes were immensely likeable and, crucially, it was not nobbled by the director’s inclination to let style take precedence over substance. This time around, clearly with too much money at his disposal, Ritchie has abandoned all sense of propriety and proportion and the result is a shambles. Part of cinema’s brief is to constantly re-interpret, to make what is old new again for the contemporary audience. Accepting what initially appears to be incongruous or downright silly often requires a huge leap of faith, but as often as not it’s worth the effort. (Kevin Costner as Robin Hood? I bought it.) Robert Downey Jr, however, is miscast as Sherlock Holmes. He makes a horrible hash of the gig, sounding throughout like an American playacting at doing an English accent and generally coming across as an acute pain in the

Rachel McAdams sparkles in a decorative but poorly defined role as a puppet of the unseen Moriarty (what is she doing in this? I wondered) and Mark Strong’s high-camp, megalomaniacal Tory villain hits the ground with thud in what is meant to be an incendiary House of Lords scene. Readers of Conan Doyle (my snobometer told me there were few if any in the vicinity) will delight in the recreation of Victorian London – the halfconstructed Tower Bridge is a brilliant illusion – but might struggle to find anything else to divert them. Noisy, messy but mercifully done with. ~ John Campbell

Stop-motion animation had never done it for me in the past. The jerkiness of movement, the generally gumby figures (Mary and Max were too hand-made) and the problematic relationship between the moving mouth and the words issuing from it undermined the suspension of disbelief that is essential in any fiction. But director Wes Anderson’s adaptation of a Roald Dahl novella has significantly altered that perception for, not to put too fine a point on it, this is a fantastic film. It also counters another personal prejudice through its casting – far from being distractingly ‘visible’ in his voicing of the chookslaughtering fox (our hero is seen with a freshly killed bird hanging from his jaws, a most unexpected sight in any kids’ feature), debonair George Clooney gives the bushy tailed rascal unquestionable warmth, wit and credibility. He’s a player, a schemer, an optimistic outlaw who always has a Plan B to put into operation when things go awry, which they frequently do, as well as being a father whose natural impulses don’t necessarily coincide with what is in the best interests of his small family. He is the unbowed little man up against the machine and I hung on his every word, whereas Meryl Streep’s Mrs. Fox might have been spoken by anybody. Similarly, the bass of Michael Gambon’s executioner’s snarl makes Franklin Bean odious beyond redemption. Beal, the apple cider distiller, is the boss of a triumvirate of predatory industrialists and he has made it his personal mission to track down and slay Mr. Fox who, for his part, finds the challenge of confronting and outwitting his human adversaries irresistible. The moral conflict is uncomplicated

Television Guide

WEDNESDAY 6

1. Billy Elliot (TEN, Friday, 8.30pm), played by Jamie Bell, keeps dancing his charms across the small screen. Do 11 year old boys ever get tired? * 2. The Australian version of Macbeth (NBN, Saturday, 9.30pm) sees Sam Worthington in an early starring role. It’s a reinterpretation of the Scottish play in a gangland setting, quite like Underbelly. The three witches as garbos are wonderful. 3. A British backpacker visits his girlfriend in Byron Bay, and that’s about all Gone (Prime, Sunday, 10.30pm), once described as ‘Dead Calm on wheels’, has going for it. Wolf Creek is a much better bet for suspense, horror and acting. * No.

‘Pants Off Salmon’ is a very funny cookbook for bachelors written by Queenslander Alec Bragg. A confirmed bachelor himself, Alec conceived the idea after a shared-house situation in the UK where he and his mates would make a dish called ‘Pants Off Salmon’ anytime one of them wished to impress a girl. Both a self-help manual and collection of delicious easy-tomake recipes, the book is a fun, light-hearted attempt to instill confidence in men who doubt their culinary abilities – but could equally sit easily alongside other cookbooks in any self-respecting kitchen. The spiral binding is designed to render ‘it easier to work with on the kitchen bench – there is nothing worse than a recipe book closing on you at a crunch time with your hands full’, the author advises. He supplies a page on Etiquette (‘Don’t compliment yourself on your own food’) and one on Helpful Hints (salad dressings, basic gravy, which wine with which meal) and each recipe has a Panty Drop rating out of 5 as a

guide to the expected success of the dish. Poached Chicken stuffed with brie and mango, Lamb Backstrap on Sweet Potato Mash and Greek Lamb feature alongside, naturally, Pants Off Salmon (‘the original deal sealer!’) and other manageable contemporary recipes matched with coloured photos. There are, however, no desserts: as the author says, ‘if the main meal is done properly there should be no need for dessert… except maybe for breakfast!’ The self-published book costs $19.95 and is available at www.pantsoffsalmon.com

High rents have driven out a lot of businesses from the cinema end of Byron Bay. Empty windows gape along Jonson Street month after month after month; in one of the two Woolworths plazas, signs for Wintergarden and Chocolat are still there, years after their owners departed. And yet there are so many culinary treasures around this end of town, away from the wellworn tourist beat up the top where, on the contrary, new shops and cafes burst out like mushrooms after rain. Some are so discreetly tucked away that you might not even be aware of their existence. Under the English Language School, Oska Cafe’s most recent management perpetuates the tradition of beautifully made coffee – it’s local brand Bun – by the everfriendly Fay; there are whispers that in the new year it will open at nights as a Spanish joint. Over the road is Petit Snail, traditional French bistro run by the irrepressible husbandand-wife dynamic of Igor and Dominique (Chauby) who ensure an authentic, if slightly old-fashioned, Gallic experience right down to their all-French staff. Open for 18 months it has become beloved of many locals.

BYRON BAY

Opposite the Dendy itself is the chameleon that is Chameleon Global Cafe, which may morph from Spanish to Irish within the space of a week. Owner/chef Peter Hoy has created a comfortable space running up alongside Icon Second-Hand Books which can almost feel a little Left Bank itself at times, especially on a buzzy Sunday afternoon of live music and wine. Peter grinds organic wheat from near Casino in his own impressive German grinder before transforming the resultant flour into herb-studded breads and pizza bases, and his prices are amongst the lowest in town for the generously portioned dishes. Several doors up at Red Ginger, the demand for Leslie’s fabulous yum cha remains unabated: snowy steamed buns, seafood dumplings, pork and chicken dumplings which can be taken away or consumed in the long narrow shop with free green tea thrown in. The genuine Portuguese

custard tarts are a perfect mouthful for afters. At cafe one one one, this most innovative eatery with its regularly changing little blackboard menus and suggested wines by the glass continues to offer some of the more exciting Mediterranean food around – often simple peasant fare and reliant on local, largely organic produce. Keep heading away from town, past the abandoned shopfronts until you reach Citrus Deli. Lisa Middleton has been running her crammed and stylish store for a long time now – and here is where you will find a fantastic range of cheeses Australian and imported (Tarago Triple Cream, Roquefort, Taleggio, for example, with candied clementines to match); duck fat and Lescure butter; Movenpick Gourmet IceCream; fat sausages from famous AC Butchery in Sydney (Chicken and Rocket, Duck, or Beef, Tomato, Garlic and Spinach); a vast selection of oils and vinegars; kilo packs of Martelli pasta for $24; vibrant house-made salads to eat upstairs at the shared table unless it’s a soft-centred little chocolate raspberry cake to have with coffee. Next door is African Village Cafe run by Ghanaian Manie, whose small, tinily priced menu represents West African cuisine. Goat cooked in African spices is his signature dish – but it is all gorgeous, big-flavoured food, which you can enjoy either at an outside table or indoors on comfy couches and cushions, straw baskets suspended from the ceiling. There is often live music as well. At Wholly Smoked butchery just about everything is organic (even icing sugar!) but there is also the exotica of guinea fowl and crocodile steaks, emu, camel and venison, buffalo, kangaroo and both wild and farmed rabbit. All this, then, and you haven’t even ventured into the two plazas (espressohead and its perfect coffee and cult following; Bollywood Kitchen and its fabulous North Indian menu; O Sushi whose popularity, ongoing awards and most of all divine Japanese food means long queues to get in.) In spite of location, these are all quiet achievers and worthy of seeking out.

‘Indeed, Digby, glad to be back among one’s chums,’ I said, as Sanders the butler delivered a plate of possum-and-cheese sandwiches to accompany our Veuve Cliquot Demi-Sec spritzers. ‘What was the essential part of your cure?’ asked Digby. ‘Was the Nigerian witchdoctor I recommended of much use?’ ‘He was indeed. Babatunde chased my head cold down the World Tree and found the spirit in charge of it and managed to negotiate some slack. The peyote afforded me some relief from the quotidian while I convalesced and the whisky reminded me of my Celtic heritage of stoicism in the face of adversity.’ ‘Jolly good. And did you, like Robert Louis, send ships in fleets across your counterpane?’ ‘I did not, though the temptation was there. Instead, I perused many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, as Mr Poe put it. Chiefly on magic, and shamanism, and

here and there a mention of Potager’s Theorem.’ ‘Potager’s Theorem?’ ‘That the universe is a memory of its own self and will one day wake to the knowledge it is already awake.’ ‘Hmmmm, dubious. And the school of magic?’ ‘Not so much a school as school’s out forever, as Mr Cooper has it. Chaos Magic, which arose out of the punk movement, proposes that no hierarchical belief system is necessary or one may impose a belief system of one’s own liking – say, a set of chakras based upon the characters in Star Trek – and abandon it on a whim a few days later. I was taken with its interest in sigilism, the making of marks with magical intent. It has some resonance with words, don’t you know.’

revealed, ‘It came to me in a gravy image upon the kitchen wall, and I felt compelled to make it in food.’ We charged our glasses with the Brunswick Heads Park Brawl Merlot with its bouquet of rampant testosterone, acid afterpalate of aggrieved burgher, and just a hint of rosemary, as the rest of the chaps – Abbotsleigh, Bosworth, Phalange-Bracket, and the like – made their way to table. ‘To your health,’ toasted Digby, ‘and to the magic of intention.’ ‘And to asparagus,’ interposed Abbotsleigh. ‘Where would a chap be without asparagus?’ – recycled and adapted from an earlier outing in January 2007.

‘Indeed, Bitemark. With our thoughts we create the world, as the Tagathata Buddha allegedly said, and with our words we seek to magically direct it. The more thoughtful pieces in The Sport Shooters Gazette tend to emphasise the importance of intention and therein, I think, lies the potential effectiveness of magic, and of course whether er or not one bags a grouse on the he wing.’ At this stage lunch arrived. Chef, perhaps in some act of preternatural prescience, had arranged the main course of Baby Scrub Turkey A L’Orange with Punished Asparagus in the shape of an octagram, the symbol of Chaos Magic.

It’s normal to feel uncertain during retrograde phases, so while this week’s cosmic finger presses the astral pause button it’s wise to lie low, stay under the radar and be grateful for simple pleasures…

Mungo’s Crossword

WITH LILITH

ARIES: What a pleasure to wish you happy new year Aries, and to let you know the present Mars/ Mercury retrograde is excellent for reflection, rectifying and simplifying your life. Work with it and an awesome new level of maturity could be yours. TAURUS: You’re determined as the Terminator to make headway this year, but this week’s better suited to turning the present situation inside out to find its silver lining. Like Tauran Will Shakespeare noted: There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so… GEMINI: Shaken, stirred and stretched mightn’t pass muster in a James Bond martini, but if January’s twin eclipses start rocking your world, who’s to say that won’t be in a good way? Reaching a critical mass is likely to bring a power surge of confidence and resolve in the near future.

The biennial Australian Championship, which began in Sydney on Saturday, is one of the most difficult to pick in recent years. Australian number one Zhao Zong Yuan makes his first Championship appearance since his disaster in 2005/6. Since then Zhao has become a Grandmaster and a popular favourite to win his first Australian title, but 2009’s heavy load of final year pharmacy studies may drag him back to the field. Should Zhao slip up, visiting English GM Gawain Jones will be waiting in the wings. Despite residing in Melbourne for some of the past year, Jones is ineligible for the title but his crash or crash through style has scored well in Australia. Apart from being a key event for Olympic selection, the Australian Championship is always an opportunity for our best juniors to prove that they can compete on an adult stage. In the modern era, when teenagers are capable of winning Grand Prix tournaments, the Championship

CANCER: If anyone can make their dreams come true this year it’s the Crab clan, and this week ushers in a resurrection of the authentic you. Though nobody said growth is easy, it is exciting and exhilarating. This week isn’t quite there yet, but it’s well on the way… LEO: This week heralds your powerful passage into a highly transformative new year, so forget about buying into anyone’s ideas of who you are – especially your own. Because that’s already changing into a radically upgraded version of the person formerly known as you. VIRGO: Others whinge and grizzle when Mercury’s retrograde, you know how to make it work for you. This is the week for writing down (yes, writing) your goals and resolves for the year and deleting outdated programs from your personal files. Just don’t forget the fun factor…

LIBRA: Biggest lesson this year? Not being taken in by appearances… Meanwhile, with Venus your leading lady in the sign of success, Saturn in Libra for the foreseeable future and late week Libra moon, this promises to be what Simpsonspeak calls a cromulent week, Mercury retro notwithstanding. SCORPIO: This week could challenge some of your most cherished convictions. Rather than get defensive, consider the fact that some people actually don’t mind being wrong if that’s what it takes to liberate them from unenlightened opinions. You could, if you want, become one of these people. SAGITTARIUS: Yes, there’s life after the silly season and this is it. Most plans aren’t set to gel for another fortnight, so if you’re having a post-holidayitis moment, hooking up with a fun someone for a reviving rendezvous this week will get you back in the saddle.

CAPRICORN: This week connects the dots and colors in the cause and effect picture of how one thing leads to another. Knowledge is power, and seeing why problems occurred in the first place gives you a new understanding of what to do about them from now on. AQUARIUS: This retrograde week can be put to good use reorganizing life as you know it: sorting, deleting, replacing, reformatting and upgrading. Yawn-makingly boring? Sure – but still way better than arguing, stressing, burning bridges and starting the year on the dark side. PISCES: January’s two eclipses in two weeks could hammer Piscean relationships either into, or way out of shape. Know this isn’t about The Other Person – it’s about you recognizing and processing anger you’ve been hanging onto from the past. Deal with this and results will be impressive. 35...Kxh4 36.Rxf4+ Kg3 37.Rf8 h5 38.f4 Kg4! was much easier. 36.Kxd3 Kxh4 37.Re6! Kg5 38.Ke4 Rc5 39.Re8 Rc4+ 40.Ke5 Kh4 41.Rg8!

Crankin’ what’s happening surfside Like most surf obsessed grommets, Kyuss King lives to ride waves. When told he was going to Hawaii for a holiday Kyuss took it upon himself to commit to writing a blog each day he was away. For Kyuss it is a big deal going to Hawaii, not just because of his young age, but because he was staying with 1988 world champion Barton Lynch. From base camp at BL’s house – nestled behind Sunset Beach – you can follow daily as Kyuss keeps a journal about the fun filled Hawaiian adventure that most kids – and adults – can only dream about.

Be quick, teams are limited The road to the finals was no

easy feat with only the hungriiest surfers prevailing, but thee final that everybody came to watch was the 16 boys. The raw talent was evident in the 16 boy’s division at the first sound of the starting siren. Cabarita’s giant slayer Joel Ford drew first blood with breathtaking top to bottom manoeuvres and precise wave selection, scoring a massive opening 8.5 point ride. Nipping at Ford’s heels was International Michael February from Cape Town, SAF, answering back with a 5.50 first wave score. The lead swapped continuously throughout the 20 minute heat with professional surfing demonstrated from all competitors, Ford was to be victorious in the blue ribbon final amassing a total heat tally of 15.49 (8.5 and a 6.90) and dedicating his win to his brother who is in hospital at the moment. ‘Everybody here at this event was ripping and I am over the moon to win at home on the Gold Coast,’ said Ford after his win. As a consolation prize of winning the toughest GromSearch competition in the seven event series, Ford also earns a spot in the national GromSearch final, which takes place on the March 29 during the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, Victoria. The final day of surfing at the GromSearch was razor sharp with worthy winners being crowned in every division. The final results for this event were: 16 Boys final winner – Joel Ford, Cabarita, 16 Girls final winner – Brodie Doyle,

Scrabble Anyone?

Is there a loving person out there who can give Ben the break that he deserves? Ben, a beautiful 2 month old boy, was bought to the shelter after he was found dumped in a box. Unfortunately the home that he went to didn’t work out because the cats that were already in the house didn’t like having Ben around. Ben is a social and gentle kitten who loves play time and cuddle time. He would love to start 2010 off in a welcoming and kind home for life.

In that process a lot of finetuning and lobbying goes on, with agents and builders keepProperty in focus ing a weather eye on monetary page 51 policy and the charges various levels of government impose on building and selling. According to the Estate Institute of Australia (REIA), the real estate sector plays a crucial role in the nation’s economic recovery, and therefore monetary policy should reflect that. Business Directory ‘In seasonally adjusted terms, page 59 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 0.2 per cent in the September quarter 2009, with the largest contribution to this coming from rental, hiring and real estate services,’ said REIA president David Airey. ‘The sector contributed 0.3 percentage points to the quarOpen Houses, terly growth, and the largest Auctions & New Listings page 59 increase in seasonally adjusted terms of 9.9 per cent.’ The construction sector itself c ont r ibute d SOME ABS FIGURES 0.2 percentThe total number of dwelling units com- age points to menced in the September quarter 2009, the quarter’s seasonally adjusted, rose by 9.4 per cent to growth. 34,082, to be down by 6.0 per cent on the ‘These figSeptember quarter 2008.

Crisis and vindicate the government’s fiscal measures that have been implemented to date,’ continued Mr Airey. ‘It would be a shame for monetary policy, through continued and premature interest rates, to put a dampener on the recovery.’ Master Builders Australia had an eye on interest rates too at the end of 2009. Peter Jones, Master Builders’ chief economist, said, ‘After almost five years of chronic underbuilding the residential sector finally looks set for an upturn and though well overdue, the latest figures are encouraging. ‘We can look forward to a bounceback in housing commencements in 2009-10, offsetting the substantial decline that occurred in financial year 2008-09 in the wake of the global financial crisis. Beyond that, there are questions over the sustainability of the upturn. ‘Tight lending requirements enforced by the banks are affecting investor-driven unit and apartment builders. Master Builders believes the Reserve Bank needs to keep interest rates low to ensure recovery in the interest-rate-sensitive residential building sector becomes entrenched. ‘Australia needs a long and strong housing upturn if it is to overcome the massive shortfall in dwellings that has developed. Unless governments work to address supply-constraining factors such as developer charges, the level of residential building is likely to fall well short of the annual 200,000 completions

required to solve the problem and meet demand.’ The NSW government might have been listening to Mr Jones – it has decided to extend its 50 per cent stamp duty cut for newlyconstructed dwellings worth up to $600,000 through to June 30, 2010. The cut is part of the NSW Housing Construction Acceleration Plan, known in the trade as HCAP. So far, 1,934 new dwellings worth more than $850 million have been sold in NSW under HCAP. According to Premier Kristina Keneally, ‘This has put $14.8 million worth of stamp duty back into people’s pockets. More importantly, this plan has supported $850 million worth of construction activity – helping provide jobs for builders, plumbers, architects and more. ‘This program has been good for families wanting to invest, good for jobs in the construction and housing sector and

good for the NSW economy. ‘We can extend this program because of the stronger position of the NSW Budget. This is our good economic management translating to help for everyday families.’ The HCAP was introduced in the 2009-10 Budget as a State stimulus measure. Preliminary Treasury estimates say HCAP could cost up to $50 million in 2010. Information from transfer duty receipts shows about 82 per cent of transactions across NSW were on properties valued at $600,000 or less. The average value of properties under HCAP is around $439,000. Under the plan, investors could save up to $11,245. Treasurer Eric Roozendaal said, ‘This program has helped the private residential housing sector, which is worth around $17.8 billion to the NSW economy every year, and accounts for about five per cent of the state economy.’
