Like sands through a zoubu, such are the days of our lives Plans for Mullum farmers mart

The North Byron Farmers Market Association (NBFM) has announced that it will be establishing a new weekly local Farmers and Artisans Market at the Mullumbimby Showgrounds and is calling for expressions of interest from local farmers, food and plant producers and artisans. ‘The market will be held on Friday mornings and will expand the traditional local Farmers Market model to include opportunities for local small businesses producing value added local foods, native plants and,’ says NBFM. ‘There will also be a section where locals can buy hens, ducks, beehives and alpacas. A monthly recycling component selling recycled farm implements and recycled gardening tools will be established later. This model will provide a more diverse and vibrant market for the community.’ NBFM is a not-for-profit community association that currently runs the New Brighton Farmers Market that was established in 2007. ‘The NBFM charter is to foster closer links between local food producers and consumers to encourage organic food production and strengthen the sustainability of the local community and economy,’ said Ian Cameron, NBFM president.

Regular income This beautiful sand mandala for World Peace and Protection (Meytupa Buddha) is being made by Ngawang Tashi, Thiley Dorjee under the guidance of Geshe Tenzin Demchok, right. This and a second mandala for Good Luck will be worked on at the Byron Commnity Centre until 3pm next Saturday afternoon, after which there will be a sacred dissolution. The sands will be walked by formally robed monks to Main Beach – probably would do more good at Belongil – and poured into the sea. Photo Jeff ‘Kneels On Mandala’ Dawson Victoria Cosford

Five Tibetan monks are currently in Australia creating sand mandalas. Following their series at firstly Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum then the Crystal Castle, they are now in Byron Bay. In the coolness of the Verandah Room at the Byron Community and Cultural Centre, one monk is bent over what appears to be a vibrant tapestry on a table. A tapestry of sorts indeed it is, but one composed of col-

oured sand as fine as dust, arranged in an ornate and detailed design signifying world peace. Head of the little group is Geshe Tenzin Demchok, and the monastery from which they have all come is the Drepung Loseling Monastery in South India. Tenzin was responsible, in 2002, for establishing the World Maitreya Karuna Foundation (WMKF) in a bid to support the monks and the monastery. Byron local Simon Menlove is sec-

retary of the Foundation and has set up headquarters for it in Byron Bay. He told The Echo that the creation of the mandalas was ‘a very special thing for the Byron area, for Australia and for the whole world’, explaining that all those who come to view them receive their protective energy, a sort of blessing. ‘This is the inaugural tour’, he said, ‘to introduce Tenzin and the monks to Australia. ‘With the Foundation we want to raise money which will go back to

<echowebsection=Local News>

India to support the monks and build a new monastery, but we also wish to raise money to buy land here in Australia, ideally in the Byron hinterland, and build a Tibetan monastery.’ He went on to say that it would serve as ‘a spiritual retreat where people from here can go and spend a few days. This is all very new, but I am hoping that Tenzin and the monks will come back in November and do another series of mandalas.’ continued on page 2

‘This new market will support the Mullumbimby Showgrounds by providing regular income for maintenance and help make it once more an important focal point for the Mullumbimby community. This market will provide a great starting point for new farmers and new local sustainable enterprises and it is looking for stalls that offer a diverse range of local products such as heritage vegetables, cheeses, pasta, tofu, handcrafted bread-boards and bowls, handmade ceramic mugs and plates and heritage live poultry varieties.’ Anyone interested in either becoming a stallholder or a volunteer to help organise this new community market can phone 0413 610 222 or email mullummarket@gmail.com.

Blue skies, good breeze, great sailing Story & photo Eve Jeffery

In contrast to last year’s SAILS day which saw buckets fall from the heavens, this year’s event was held in glorious conditions under crystal blue skies and breezes to just float away on. Over 50 of the shire’s youth took advantage of the opportunity to go for a paddle or a sail on the weekend when they participated in the Sailing Adventures In Life Skills program (SAILS). SAILS is a not-for-profit charitable organisation which provides school holiday’s youth and family boating and creative arts programs, and youth-atrisk healthy choices, sailing, educational and intervention programs. Organiser Belle Arnold was ecstatic by the response to last Saturday’s event and said that many missed out as numbers had to be kept low for saftey reasons. ‘There are only so many lifejackets,’ said Belle. ‘Safety is paramount so we

make sure that the kids are well supervised and everyone wears a jacket on the crafts.’ Participants had the opportunity to paddle a kayak, escort the Hobie cat in the rubber

duckie safety craft or sail on Saturday’s silvery breezes with the experienced SAILS sailors. ‘It is a great school holiday family event,’ said Belle. ‘The parents got involved and ev-

At the completion of the fortnight, two sand mandalas will have been composed out of the coloured sand. The work-in-progress will be followed by a mandala of a stupa for good luck. Taking a week to ten days to finish, they consist of the variously coloured sands poured into a long slender copper cone called a ZouBu which is then tapped lightly, the vibrations from the little tapping stick, or Budar, releasing a thread of powder on to the pattern’s tracing. It must be back-breaking work, so infinitely slow and patient and laborious – and yet one of the monks, Phurbu the

translator, tells The Echo that ‘in the morning the monks do exercises and meditation’ to prepare for it. No glue holds the sand in place; Simon remarked that ‘we always hope there’s no breeze or fans, or that no one sneezes!’ While the mandala is being built, deities are invoked, invited to come and reside in the mandala through special prayers and chanting. And then it is all dismantled. ‘A mandala isn’t completed until it’s destroyed,’ Simon explained. ‘When the mandalas are completed they will sit for a day or two then there will be chanting and prayers followed by a ceremony. The sand will be collected in a special con-

tainer and taken down to the ocean, to be thrown into clean water somewhere between Main Beach and The Pass. Destroying it signifies the impermanence of life – you build it over two weeks then destroy it and its energy will flow out into Byron Bay and the people of Byron Bay.’ The Tibetan monks will be working on the sand mandalas up until Saturday January 30 (not Sunday as originally specified in the brochures) at the Community Centre, when the Closing Ceremony will be held. Until then the public is invited to come and visit them and partake of their protective energy from 10am to 5pm every day.

SGB community rallies for centre Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Many in the Byron Shire consider South Golden Beach an outpost in the area. Quite often the last to receive consideration in imporatant matters, the village has a large population which sticks together in times of trouble and trauma. There is a loyalty among residents not found everywhere, but there is not a lot in the way of infrastructure to support the village as a community. The residents have been waiting an age for the construction of the Helen Street bridge which will see the currently bicected village joined. The comunity centre also leaves a lot to be desired, with no shade or seating and a whopping great sewerage plant plonked in the centre of the grounds. To add insult to injury, the community centre has been broken into twice in as many months and residents in the South Golden Beach community have had enough. In an effort to turn the centre from something to be trashed into something to be treasured, a trivia night fundraiser will be held to herald in a new era in South Golden Beach, by bringing residents together to promote a greater community

Members from all areas of the community will join together to support the fundraiser for the South Golden Beach Community Centre.

spirit in the village. The South Golden Beach Community Centre management committee is hosting the trivia night in the hope of raising funds to create a recreational community space with shade trees and picnic shelters in the grounds of the hall. It is hoped that the space will provide an opportunity for all members of the community to socialise and meet other residents in the village which currently does not have so much

as a park bench to sit on. The ‘Age of Aquarius’ Trivia Night will start at 7pm this Saturday at the hall. The MC is former editor of the Northern Star, Russell Eldridge. Everyone is welcome to come along and form your own brainy table of ten or just join up with new friends from your local community. You are also invited to dress up or down in a themed Aquarian costume, as there will be prizes for best dressed

and others. The cost is only $10 per head but bring gold coins because there will be extra games to join in and there will be refreshments available For more informatuion about the trivia night, contact Ralph on 6680 1461 to make a booking. Council is also currently advertising for additional members to join the committee. Interested people should contact Gayle McCallum on 6626 7045.

Upcoming forum to look at surf safety The first steps in finding ways of making surfing at the Pass a safer and more enjoyable experience for all users was taken on Tuesday night last week at a meeting initiated by Byron United. A group of invited representatives from the Byron Bay Boardriders, Byron Bay Malibu Club, Byron United, Surfing Far North Coast and some surfers from the local community meet to discuss the issue and

set the framework for a larger meeting of invited stakeholders in February. Invitations to this Surf Forum will be sent to owners and operators of all local surf schools, surfboard manufactures, backpacker hostels and surf board hire outlets to get their input and ideas in an effort to reach common agreement in regards to the safety issues currently occurring at The Pass.

Also invited are representatives from Cape Byron Trust, Byron Shire Council, Byron Bay Surf Club, the Department of Sport and Recreation, Australian Lifeguard Services, Surfing Australia and the Head of Surfing Studies at Southern Cross University. Some of the key aspects identified at Tuesday night’s meeting were the need for better education in regard to safe surfing and how to best communicate

this to all the surfers using the Pass. Surfboard design and hire issues will also be on the agenda. One key problem area identified was the lack of respect between surfers at The Pass. While the forum will seek to find better ways of ensuring a safer surfing experience, this is a gradual process, say organisers. Those interested in the forum can email thepass_byronbay@ live.com.

Toadbusters wanted The annual Byron Shire Toad Muster is on again this summer and volunteer toad busters are needed. Byron Shire Council’s environmental project officer Wendy Gibney said cane toads have been found from the mountains to the beaches across the shire. ‘The community can help limit the spread by joining in with the cane toad musters. The evenings are informative and fun. ‘Cane toads have a significant negative impact on our wildlife as they prey on native species and are poisonous to native predators. ‘The first muster for 2010 will be held at Suffolk Park which currently has several species of fauna threatened by cane toads.’ Volunteers are invited to come along and learn about toads and frogs then collect them from their neighbourhood. The Suffolk Park muster will start next to the lagoon in Beech Drive, Suffolk Park, 7pm-9pm on Wednesday February 3. All volunteers need to wear long pants, long sleeves and

The Haishkarem family provided this obituary: A unique, gentle, wise, humorous and much loved soul passed from the Mullumbimby firmament on Friday January 15 with the death of Kym Haishkarem, aged 31. Kym was the eldest of the eight Haishkarem siblings and his loss, much as it has come as a shock, is understood. Kym always believed that there was more than this physical life on earth and that he was meant for greater things. Kym suffered a great deal with the life that was handed to him, though he tried for his family’s sake to be happy and assure us he was going well. Well-known on the streets of our town, Kym was an original and naturally talented artist who had his own sense

of style with dance, drawing, skateboarding, humour and conversation. He believed in many different cultures, theo-

ries, ways of living and forms of existence. Kym was someone you could always have an interesting conversation with

if you gave him the time. He had a great interest in ancient history and extraterrestrial life forms. Kym was always a very sensitive person who had an amazing and different sense of humour and a kind nature. Kym was able to address people and situations in a way that would achieve remarkable results. Kym was a very gentle, unique, serene person who seemed to inhabit several different worlds at once. There is not another like him. We have been blessed to have him in our lives. The Haishkarem clan and all those who truly knew him, though many believe that he is now with his little brother Nakana, will sorely miss Kym. Shine bright, Kym. . . we love you.

Greyhound enters the local shuttle bus market Greyhound Australia launched a new shuttle bus service last week between Brisbane and Byron Bay. Greyhound’s CEO Robert Thomas said the new service was being offered in response to increased demand for bus-

es between Brisbane and the coast. ‘More people are beginning to discover the benefits of travelling by bus to the beach,’ Mr Thomas said. ‘Not only does it remove the stress of driving in heavy summer traffic, it also

eliminates the hassle of trying to find a car park at a popular beach spot. ‘We’ll also be keeping the heat off travellers this summer by offering free bottles of chilled water to passengers on the Brisbane to Byron Bay

route. Passengers will also have the option of purchasing a special Byron Bay experience such as a surfing lesson or kayaking adventure through the Greyhound Adventures program.’ See more at www.greyhound. com.au.

In the tradition of the ancient Chinese ‘barefoot’ doctors a group of Byron Shire acupuncturists have been operating a community acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine service. More than 3,000 years ago Chinese physicians were paid to keep their communities (villages/tribes) healthy, suffering pay cuts when their comrades fell ill. At $20 for a half hour session, Community Acupuncture puts the maintenance of good health and fitness within the

www.echo.net.au

financial reach of everyone. Currently operating a clinic every Wednesday afternoon in Mullumbimby, upstairs above Santos, the group will start Wednesday morning sessions at the Red Tent Yoga space in Centennial Circuit in the Byron Indy Arts Estate. Clinic coordinator Alex Grant said, ‘Community acupuncture clinics have really gained popularity in the UK and the US and the Mullum version is proving to be a hit. Many people in this region are health conscious, open to natural therapies, but would rather

pay $20 for a more communal treatment rather than as much as $70 for a private consultation. We hope to expose people to the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine, and to allow patients to experience the true value of this modality through affordable weekly treatments.’ Grant, Ophir Bihran and Lisa Treharn started the clinic on the auspicious date 09.09.09 and will be joined by Amare Pearl and Michael Collis to open the Byron arm.

rate solar energy, those made from natural and/or recycled materials; installations which span and/or link the exhibition; ephemeral and temporary artworks and works which speak to the genius loci of the site or region. New artworks not previously exhibited will also be given high priority.

ArtsCape 2010, Byron’s own exhibition of outdoor environmental sculpture, is now calling for expressions of interest from artists. Exhibition dates have been set for June 26-July 11 on the new site of Clarkes Beach Reserve. Australian and international artists can now access information and entry forms from the organisation’s website www.artscapebiennial.org with all artist submissions due by Friday February 19. Five international sculptors have now confirmed participation in the event. They are Bert Flugelman and Greg Johns from Australia, Usama Alnassar from Syria, Andy Scott from Scotland and Phil Price from New Zealand. Phil Price’s name is synonymous with large scale, windactivated kinetic sculpture. He is represented in public and private collections throughout Australasia. Price will join a small group of invited artists with all other exhibitors being selected through an open expression of interest process. artsCape says its curatorial approach will be to ensure the right mix of artists, with a strong local contingent which also enables those artists to exhibit alongside renowned national and international artists.

Above all, he wanted political bipartisanship, which was why his final bill was very similar to the outline John Howard had taken to the electorate in 2007. And he very nearly succeeded; right up until the last gasp it appeared that Malcolm Turnbull could deliver enough senators to pass his Emissions Trading Scheme and thus lock the foundations for real change

to cross the floor, and if the Greens had seized the moment, as many of their supporters urged, a flawed but basic ETS would have become law; the foundation for more determined action would be in place. But The Greens preferred to preserve their ideological impregnability, and delivered precisely nothing. As Gough Whitlam was fond of remarking, the impotent are al-

Rudd’s calculation, reinforced by the best research available, was that the public simply would not accept the radical tactics favoured by the Greens. by Mungo MacCallum into place. But the Greens wanted no part of it. They now say they were always open to negotiation, but their starting point was a target which would have strained the limits of many in the Labor Party, much less the coalition. And in any case, the hard fact was that the Greens could not offer Rudd what he needed; the numbers to get the bill – any bill – passed. There were only five of them; Rudd needed seven. Any formula which would satisfy the Greens was bound to be opposed by the Liberals, even under Turnbull, and the Nationals were already off the planet. Thus Rudd would have needed both independents. Conceivably Nick Xenophon might have been open to persuasion, but Steve Fielding was a hopeless case. Rudd’s only hope was the Liberals, which meant more compromise, not more bravado. Ironically, even after Turnbull was rolled, the Greens could still have saved the day: two Liberals were prepared

ways pure – and, he might have added, frequently vice versa. But it now seems that Brown and Milne have had a Damascene conversion to reality: they are now proposing what they describe as an interim scheme to break the deadlock. The idea is a two year price on carbon of $20 per tonne, with the proceeds spent on incentives for alternative energy and on compensating low income households – but not the polluting industries, who would receive free permits under the government scheme. This is in line with the original Garnaut report, and therefore has a certain credibility. But it is undeniably a compromise – even the Greens don’t claim it would do much to reduce the actual rate of emissions. The best they predict is that at least it might stop them from increasing, and perhaps, just perhaps, bring them down by a percentage point or two. This is a long way behind the government’s own minimum target of five percent reduc-

tions, about which they have been so contemptuous. But it would, as they say, be a start. Unfortunately all the old political constraints still apply; in the present senate a LaborGreens alliance is still two votes short of a majority. Tony Abbott has totally rejected the idea of any form of tax or levy on carbon, but interestingly he did not dismiss the idea immediately. And given that it now appears that even the January 31 deadline for emissions targets set at Copenhagen is not to be taken seriously, the Greens proposal is just about the only concrete proposal for action on the table. So thanks, Senators Brown and Milne – and welcome back to the real world. Who knows, you might even like it here. part from the fact that he appears to have lost his chin in an unfortunate breeding accident, Prince William seems a pleasant enough young man; and since (for once) we are not paying for his royal flash-through, there is no reason to be unkind about him. But equally, there seems no reason to cringe, grovel, kowtow or otherwise abase ourselves, which the media have done in a particularly unedifying fashion. His personable appearance is utterly irrelevant to the republic debate: if he were a slithering, gibbering, bug-eyed monster he would still be second in line to become our head of state, and there is absolutely nothing we could do about it. And that’s the point. Like any other form of autocracy, the system of monarchy is only as good as the worst person who can become monarch. On January 26 India celebrates Republic Day. We celebrate becoming a British penal colony. Guess who wins?

nent cases which were hushed up to prevent panic but I am prepared to face the truth. One of my neighbours is due to give birth shortly and is extremely distressed at the thought of bringing a newborn baby into this danger zone. There are some councils in NSW who will not allow these towers within the safety buffer zone which means not close to homes. Not one person I have spoken to has disagreed with me and all strongly support me in this fight. My question to you in the council is, ‘Would you live here day in and day out 365 days a year?’ Please consider this when you cast your vote in February. Wendy Blumson

A bypass option Once again the Byron Bay town bypass issue is being kicked around. So again I will put forward what to me is the only sensible option if we are to have a real long term and adequate solution and not waste money on some minimalist attempt to address this increasingly untenable situation. That option is to utilise the rail corridor from Butler Street out to near Cemetery Road where there is adequate room for a roundabout intersection. This would bypass the whole of Bangalow Road as well and take traffic to and from Suffolk Park and the south right around the town to and from Sunrise and the Industrial Estate. Shirley Street could be bypassed also via an elevated (because of the wetlands) two lanes around the back behind Shirley Lane out to the old Short Stop with a roundabout for joining Ewingsdale Road. Yes, it would be the most expensive option by far but state or federal funding support should be sought and supplied because of the severe impact

of tourism on the town’s traffic problems. The rail corridor would require some vegetation compensation and considerable fill contributing to the cost, but this would provide a real and long term solution. A bonus would be the opportunity to get all the intra- and interstate buses out of town over to the west of the railway line. This would not preclude the use of the rail corridor for some rail transport, which should be part of the long term transport vision, as it would simply require the bypass to be closed while the trains pass through. Now would be the time to come together on this solution and start lobbying the political parties for their commitment leading up to the state elections and to ensure the rail authority will give their approval. As a driver of an emergency vehicle, for Byron Bay’s Rural Fire Service, which has to service all areas to the north and west of the town from the fire station at Suffolk Park, I emphasise the importance of such a bypass to all emergency services in their ability to adequately care for all residents on both sides of Byron Bay.

Murky waters As a regular Pass to surf club swimmer – is it my imagination or is the water quality in the Bay declining? This past year regular swimmers have not seen much clear water at all. Murky water is expected after rain but there hasn’t been much of late and water clarity still seems to have dived. Does anyone have any theories about this? Is the storm water draining between Main and Clarkes Beach and from the caravan park into the Bay contributing to the state of the water? It is surprising to have such storm water drainage onto one of Australia’s best

Real climate concerns beyond the carbon scam ■ The UN was formed post WW2 to ‘maintain international peace and security’. Since that time 185 wars have prevailed, 50 of which are still active. Are we now to trust its IPCC organ in the ‘war on climate change’? The absurd reductionist rhetoric blaming carbon dioxide as the culprit in a putative Anthropogenic Global Warming is the most unscientific red herring ever foisted on humanity. The surmise that humankind is further capable of restoring or controlling nature on such a scale is a Canute-like delusion. There is not one computer on this planet able to predict, via ‘modelling’, an object as chaotic as climate yet that is precisely what the IPCC scientists rely on. At best we are able to accurately predict the weather (short term climate) for a matter of days. What science does best is observe, measure and then guess – rightly or wrongly.

In the current climate of data manipulation, selective use of proxy data, and suppression of contrary evidence to AGW, the rediscovery of scientific values has never been more urgent. What then is the purpose of the CO2 hoax? It is no surprise that the recent collapse of traditional capital runs concurrent with the emergence of the carbon market. The secularisation of western democracies sees religion displaced by experimental science as the harbinger of apocalyptic vision (catastrophic climate change) as a precursor to acceptance of ‘one world government’ (a term used in the Copenhagen Treaty). The CO2 hoax is nothing if not an assault on sovereignty and an abrogation of the UN Charter’s principles of equal rights and self determination of peoples. As Hugo Chavez said in his speech at Copenhagen, ‘If climate was a bank, it would be fixed by now’. It is time to focus on real environmental is-

sues we can control: alternative energy, deforestation, river and ocean health, biodiversity, food quality and chemical pollution, to name just a few. Duncan Shipley-Smith

Byron Bay ■ The

real climate change concern: deforestation! Converting forest to desert, as we have done to so much of this planet, has changed the climate in those places to one which no longer supports humans, or much else. This is radical climate change that is potentially terminal for us if left unchecked. It predates the industrial revolution by thousands of years. According to the fossil record we are currently in the middle of the sixth, and largest, mass species extinction event in the history of life on earth. Our survival depends on biodiversity and this is a massive loss. It can be directly attributed to the massive loss of forests that we have caused.

We are genuinely lucky to have such an asset in our town. I must admit that I always look forward to the next swim. The coffee is great too! Alison McMahon

The Middle East You have to really question the accuracy of the statements and opinions of George Franco (Letters, January 19) when he can’t even get the name of the President of Egypt correct. From memory, the President of Egypt is Hosni Mubarak. Musharraf is the family name of the former President of Pakistan. But as always George has tunnel vision. He represents the building of barriers around Gaza as a spontaneous action of the Egyptian government to counter Muslim fundamentalism. This may indeed partly be the case. Egypt produces itself only half the food requirements of its people. It is heavily dependent on subsidies from the first world. Are we expected to believe that pressure from the first world, America in particular, has nothing to do with it? David Gilet

Byron Bay ■ Thanks to George Franco for his charming tale of the scorpion and frog crossing the Jordan River, however unrealistic it may be given its appalling pollution. Munqeth Mehyar, chairman of Friends of the Earth Middle East, said: ‘The Jordan River will disappear if nothing is done soon. More than half of it is raw sewage and runoff water from agriculture. What keeps the river flowing today is sewage.’ Thanks, too, for his offer of material to enlighten me on ‘what is happening on the fast developing West Bank’; I grate-

One of the non-binding resolutions from Copenhagen is a global goal to halve deforestation by 2020. They claim this would save the equivalent of all global transport carbon emissions. If so, it follows that any increase in forest cover would not only take care of industrial emissions it would also see us in carbon credit. If there is a concern about emissions and global warming, growing forests will deal with it. Many people have grown forests here over the last 3040 years. They know it leads to a huge increase in the biodiversity vital to our survival. Therefore, any strategy towards a future for our species must be able to replace the tree cover of this planet – and fast. Who else sees the need to redirect the attention from the megabuck making, diversionary scam of carbon emissions trading to real strategies for a sustainable future? Robin Harrison

Coorabell fully accept and look forward to receiving it via The Echo. As of November 2009, approximately 280,000 Israelis live in the 121 officially-recognised settlements in the West Bank despite the fact that these settlements contravene international law. The development taking place on the West Bank today is only possible because of the forcible expulsion of nearly one million of the original Palestinian inhabitants under Israel’s Plan Dalet in 1948 and massacres of villages like Deir Yassin (‘The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine’, Ilan Pappe). The Jewish National Fund (contributions are tax deductible!) posing as a ‘friend of the earth’ has planted non-indigenous trees like pine over the ruins of Palestinian villages, turning them into recreation parks. Tourists think the almond blossoms and the green shoots of olive trees are wild, but in fact they are the remnants of once thriving villages blitzkrieged by Israel 62 years ago and now excoriated from Israel’s and the world’s memory and conscience. Mr Franco cites the threat of weapons smuggling into Gaza from Egypt as the reason why we, with the exception of 85 Gaza Freedom Marchers, were not allowed into Gaza. No, Mr Franco, 1,400 Gaza Freedom Marchers from 43 countries and the 250 vehicle strong Viva Palestina aid convoy led by British MP George Galloway brought essential medical supplies, toys, children’s learning materials, water purification kits etc, not weapons. All of these takenfor-granted essentials for life are severely rationed/banned by Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza. The ban against us all was political and satisfied the diktats of the US, Britain and Israel. Gareth Smith

A stinging response from nature’s toxic harpoons Story & photo Mary Gardner

‘Damn, I can’t do this,’ I wobbled and then doubled over in pain. ‘It’s getting worse. You drive.’ I handed the car keys to my friend. I stumbled into the passenger seat. Next thing I knew, we burst into Casualties at the hospital. ‘Bluebottle,’ I gasped. The small marine Physalia utriculus blows in with the northeasterly. Each creature is a colonial animal, a unity of cooperative zooids. The zooids, free moving individuals, develop from a single fertilised cell into one of four types. Each is arranged in a pattern unique to the species. The top zooid of the bluebottle is the balloon float, oddly enough filled with carbon monoxide. The other three types are specialised as the collectors of food, producers of sperm and eggs and catchers of prey. The catchers have nematocysts, an automatic toxic harpoon with the fastest trigger action anywhere (several times faster than the speed of sound). Their poison acts on any nervous system, causing intense pain, disorientation and even breathing problems. This marine toxin is a produced by a biochemical process which is natural to bluebottles. Officially, toxins are called ‘secondary’ metabolites, or ‘natural’ products. Why? Simply by default. They are not essential to development or reproduction, as are the

‘primary’ metabolites. Colloquially, secondary metabolites are involved in achieving and maintaining a ‘quality of life’. For bluebottles, prey is easier to select and eat if disabled by poison. Scratch and sniff, taste if you dare. Weird and wonderful secondary metabolites are oozing throughout the sea. Marine algae, both large seaweeds and single cell types, produce a waft of chemicals released to keep other algae and bacteria from growing on them. Some biochemicals affect grazing animals in a cunning, sublethal way. Their reproduction is compromised in various ways and the numbers in the next generation are reduced. Marine bacteria leak molecules that others of their own species then pick up. When critical numbers of that species are ‘sensed’, other chemistry within the bacteria start or stop on cue. Marine diatoms, those creatures of the plankton wrapped in exquisite cases of silica, secrete secondary metabolites as ‘infochemicals’. When these reach certain concentrations, they trigger the death of these cells and the end of the current ‘bloom’. The new genetic techniques enable the identification of more species of marine fungi and their metabolites. The recently identified Lulworthia group’s biochemistry focuses on decomposing dead seaweed, marsh plants and wood. Another fungus from tidal

pools was treated with two wildly different compounds. In response, the fungus made two different products, neither of which are generally found in that species. Many kinds of secondary metabolites in the sea are also found on land. Uncovering them is a revolutionary insight into what influences soil, vegetation patterns and even animal communities. Some of these compounds are produced by plants to create colours and scents on cue to signal pollinating insects and animals. Some inhibit fungi and others encourage it. In turn, fungi create compounds which exert a similar

or opposing influence. Some plant and fungi compounds are poisons, killing animals or bacteria. Some keep other plants from growing too close, limiting plant life and influencing animal numbers and whereabouts. For all the similarities in application, the biochemical pathways that create these compounds on land are utterly different from those produced in the sea. Everywhere, species from all Five Kingdoms of life – animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and protoctists – are involved. In turn, many of the compounds from every group are being used by both herbalists and pharmacists to maintain or

upgrade the quality of human life. In finding ways to collect or grow these substances, biological details jump up and shock us. The desired metabolites often seem to be the tangible stuff of symbiosis, an intimate cooperation between different forms of life on many levels. The antifungal products of sponges are produced by the bacteria they foster inside themselves. The toxins of puffer fish, used in Japan for relief of severe chronic pain, are assembled by cyanobacteria. So are the antitumour agents from sea squirts. Looking beyond medicine, Eric Schmidt of the University of Utah goes so far as to say

nearly every natural product probably exists because of a symbiotic interaction between organisms. The very evolution of secondary metabolites is an ancient and ongoing example of ‘give and take’. Back at Casualties, a nurse set me in a shower of hot water for twenty minutes. The pain eased. Red welts came up on my legs which now, several days later, have settled down as lines made of dark spots. What about the old vinegar remedy? Thanks to studies of secondary metabolites, the bluebottle toxin is now known to be proteins and phenols. Hot water denatures it, cooking it till it changes its structure and becomes much less irritating. Before, the toxin was thought to be like that of other jellyfish – an alkaloid – and an acid such as vinegar would neutralise it. Some plants on land make phenols to discourage animals which eat them. Perhaps marine phenols discourage some animals but turtles and other fish still eat bluebottles. A small blue sea slug somehow incorporates the nematocysts into its own body, positioning them for use in its own defence. The great Web of Life? More like an endless Tangle of Life! ■To find out more about the Five Kingdoms of Life, join the new course ‘Tangle of Life’ offered by Mary Gardner through the Byron Region Community College.

ocean current known as the North Pacific Gyre – an area of ocean that sailors and ships have historically steered clear of because it is so becalmed. There’s really only one thing that seems attracted to this area. Plastic. The worst kind of plastic. Debris and rubbish originating from the west coast of America and from Asia ride oceanic currents that eventually join this Gyre to become a vortex of plastic refuse. It takes about five years for North American rubbish to reach the Gyre, but less than a year from Asia. The culprit plastics range in size from abandoned fishing nets to the micro pellets used in cleaning products. Scientists estimate that eighty to ninety percent of non-recyclable plastic weighing something like 3.5 million tonnes is swirling around in this toxic soup of a current. Now dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the Gyre has one of the highest levels of suspended plastic particulates known on the planet. These particulates do not biodegrade. Rather they continue to disin-

scopic enough to be ingested by the myriad of small organisms that reside and feed near the ocean’s surface. From that point on, these highly toxic molecules effectively enter the food chain. A young American film crew from Vice Magazine were eager to witness this ‘mythical’ island of garbage for themselves. They gained permission to travel with a research vessel that studies and takes samples from the Gyre to gauge its impact on oceanic water quality and marine life. The film that recounts this journey, Garbage Island, gives viewers a first hand look at a remote part of the ocean whose problems are anything but remote. Byron Bay International Film Festival manager Madeleine Faught says, ‘This is a must-see documentary.

There are legal routes to stopping Japanese whaling Sue Arnold

Most Australians are asking why the Japanese slaughter is allowed to continue. Sadly, the available evidence demonstrates that no government is willing to do the hard yards required to bring this nightmare to a head. Trade is unquestionably the elephant in the room. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott summed things up when he declared recently that ‘Australia’s relationship with Japan is too important to risk over whaling’. ‘We don’t want to needlessly antagonise our most important trading partner,’ he said, indicating that it was not Coalition policy to take Japan to any International Court. A Japan/Australia Free Trade Agreement is the big carrot being dangled under the economic noses of the ALP and the Opposition. Last year Japan imported $A52 billion of our products, almost half was coal. Japan is Australia’s number one trading partner and New Zealand’s

third most important trading partner. In terms of the trade relations with other major anti-whaling nations, the US is afraid of payback trade sanctions against its beef industry and the UK, which has very significant trade with Japan, is an economic basket case. Just to make things more difficult, Japan is subsidising its whaling industry to the tune of almost $USD10 million a year. This financial benefit is illegal under the World Trade Organisation but don’t count on any anti-whaling nation taking Japan to a WTO Tribunal. If a formal complaint was made to a WTO Tribunal, it would bring to a head the big legal argument of our time. Trade versus the environment.

Protecting resources There are provisions in the WTO/GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) which support the protection of exhaustible natural resources. Indeed, it would be difficult to argue that whales are not exhaustible given the threats of

mediation option available. At the very least, Mr Rudd could do a national broadcast explaining to the Australian public that globalisation is more important than protecting the environment. That exporting coal to Japan has priority over whales and that international treaties which were designed to protect the Earth’s life support systems are no longer as relevant as trade. Then, at least, the voting public could make their own decisions. Maybe everyone would vote Green as the Opposition has demonstrated no way out of this dilemma. Do we want economic gain or the environment? Because these are the bare bones of this issue. It’s extremely unfortunate that whales must bear the brunt of this very difficult and emotionally charged debate and that the real issues behind Japanese whaling are being obfuscated behind a smorgasbord of opinions which are largely irrelevant.

climate change. However, finding a WTO member government willing to take the plunge in filing a complaint against Japan is unlikely. So where does that leave the beleaguered whales ? And how far will Japan push the envelope as the number and species of whales slaughtered increases exponentially every year. How many more years can the Sea Shepherd mount its campaigns in Antarctica?

Sanctions threat A recent poll by UMR, who poll for the ALP, demonstrated eight out ten Australians say Rudd is not doing enough. But let’s not put all the blame on PM Rudd’s shoulders. He could get on the phone and ask President Obama to certify Japan under the Pelly amendment which would clear the way for trade sanctions. Or at least the threat of sanctions which in the past has brought Japan to the table. Unfortunately, Obama is not an environmental president. So this action is unlikely and there’s no indication that US whale conservation groups will force the issue. In fact, there’s little difference between Obama’s support of free trade and that of President Bush. It was President Bush who put the foundations in place for Japan’s free-for-all in Antarctica. Leading international experts have extensively documented legal actions which can be taken by Australia or any anti whaling nation. There’s options in the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) for Australia to at least seek dispute settlement, binding or otherwise, which would forcibly draw attention to Japan’s actions by other ATS member nations. Currently, Japan’s whaling program is a non-subject at Antarctic Treaty meetings. Australia’s so-called Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in Antarctica is a claim. It has no legal status nor have other claims by Antarctic Treaty signatories. Any legal action which purports to uphold Australia’s ‘rights’ is highly questionable in terms of success. When the Federal Court granted an injunction last year against a Japanese whaling company operating in

Tradeoff disaster

Australia’s claimed area, there was never any possibility of a successful outcome. The ATS is a can of worms. No member nation wants to rock the boat.

Violation of duty But Japan has violated its duty to cooperate under a number of international conventions. Its questionable scientific methodologies are in violation of the UN Law of the Sea Convention. But the blackmail continues. Latest news indicates Japan’s ruling party lawmakers have questioned a plan to sign a defence logistics accord with Australia as the two countries are at loggerheads over Japan’s annual whale hunts. The most effective action that Kevin Rudd could initiate is to host a summit focused on solutions to Japan’s whale slaughter. Because of the com-

plexities which drive this messy issue, it’s important to bring together experts in the Law of the Sea, International Whaling Commission, Antarctic Treaty System, World Trade Organisation and other international conventions impacted upon or violated by the kill. Money appears to be no problem for the Rudd government, according to News Ltd, who recently revealed that whale envoy Sandy Holloway earned $200,000 for 100 days work and spent $342,000 on travel in his role. How much more useful a summit of international experts would be in finding solutions. Why won’t the Rudd government make available the legal opinions it has commissioned to many of the leading experts who have opined on this matter? Surely this is a time for vigorous debate and a canvassing of every single legal and

Any tradeoff with Japan which sees a reduction in ‘scientific whaling’ in return for coastal whaling will be a disaster. Unless Japan is taken to the International Courts the outcome will be a no-brainer. Commercial whaling will spread across the globe while the talk just goes on and on. Unstoppable. The marine environment needs whales. Climate change is causing catastrophic changes in the world’s oceans and every effort must be made to ensure minimal damage to these critical ecosystems. There’s no doubt that any global effort to raise the importance of the environment over economic benefits is going to be exceptionally difficult. Look no further than Copenhagen. But, as my good lawyer friends say: there1s always a way to get into court, it’s a matter of finding a lawyer with balls. Mr Rudd, the world is waiting on your electoral promises. Japan is winning the whale war.

Council exhibits draft Positive Ageing Policy Byron Shire Council has put on exhibition its draft Positive Ageing Policy. The draft policy has been developed to support existing and continued commitment towards the health and well-being of the Shire’s ageing population, says Council. According to NSW Statistical Local Area Population Projections 2001-2031, people aged 50 and over will account for around 47.3% of Byron Shire’s population by 2031. In 2001

people aged 50 and over accounted for 28.4% of the Shire’s population. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said an ageing population had implications on infrastructure, community assets, planning provisions, housing, accommodation and transport. ‘Forward planning is vital in order to cater for the differing needs and expectations of older people,’ she said. ‘The draft Positive Ageing Policy recognises that Council

<echowebsection=Articles>

is committed to planning, providing and advocating to state and federal government for a range of services and facilities that will support the aged population in leading healthy and fulfilling lives.’ Mayor Barham said an ageing population was also recognised through the appointment of Council’s Aged and Disability Officer in November 2008. She said key achievements have included the recently launched Good Access is Good Business

guide and the upcoming Shire Mobility Maps. The policy is on public submission until Thursday February 11 and can be viewed on Council’s website www.byron. nsw.gov.au/public-exhibition, at the Mullumbimby Administration Office or at Community Access points including Federal Store, Bangalow Post Office, Summerland Credit Union Ocean Shores, Suffolk Park Holiday Park and Shire libraries. www.echo.net.au

Making the most of your money, improving the world low-style houses. But a scary reality presses against the highsecurity fence that surrounds iThemba. We outsiders glimpse that reality through statistics: it is estimated that half a million South African women are raped each year. Nearly twice as many women as men are HIV positive. AIDS is killing off hundreds of thousands of young parents, leaving a host of bewildered children. The heads of some households are nine-year-olds. Nadine pinpoints the coming problem: ‘The South African Medical Research Council estimates that within five years, we could have 5.7 million AIDS orphans,’ she says.

Somewhere in Rajasthan I reached into my pocket for a coin. Before I could place it in the small deformed, outstretched hand there were a dozen more hands. It’s not an uncommon experience, but it was my first encounter with India’s vast need. I tried carrying a bag of food to give away, but it was snatched by an aggressive monkey. I finally resolved my dropin-the-ocean helplessness by donating to an orphanage in Jaipur. Each home in the complex was run by a divorced or widowed woman. She was provided with a monthly budget out of which she had to clothe, feed and nurture up to ten orphans ranging from babes in arms to young adults. It was a wonderful place. But my giving to charities remained erratic until a minor epiphany last year. As a regular session interviewer for the Byron Bay Writers Festival, I read books on wide-ranging topics. One was The Life You Can Save: Acting now to end world poverty. The author was Peter Singer, Australia’s brilliant philosopher and ethicist, who has been named by Time magazine as one of the world’s 100 most influential people.

Desperate millions Above: One of the four families on the iThemba property. Left: Children at play in the grounds of iThemba.

iThemba is the Zulu word for hope. Funded entirely by private donations, iThemba’s ‘hope’ is to create a positive ripple-effect by educating and raising a generation of community leaders. Donor relations manager Nadine Wright shows visitors around the park-like grounds and the comfortable bunga-

Meanwhile, governments have recognised iThemba’s value by declaring it a ‘best practice’ model. There are many other organisations, big and small, doing their bit. iThemba is just one. We gave them a third of our 2009 annual charity donation. Another third went to disabled children in Africa and the remaining third to Opportunity International, which offers micro-finance to poor people. We’re researching our 2010 contributions. Daunted by the challenge of the world’s needy? Peter Singer says don’t be. To paraphrase him: The help you give an individual, family or village and the good you do them is not lessened by the fact that there are many more needy people you cannot help. And if you’re still not convinced, I’ll try a cheap trick: If you’ve spent ten minutes on this article, about 150 children around the world have died because of poverty.

More than half of those will have no schooling. It is terrifying to imagine the impact of those desperate millions on a society already struggling with high unemployment, uncontrolled crime, corruption and ■ Useful links groaning public services. www.focusonithemba.org The federal and provincial www.thelifeyoucansave.com governments are aware of the www.opportunity.org problem and are using TV adwww.charitynavigator.org vertising in an attempt to bring about cultural change – assuring men that compassionate ■ Russell Eldridge, now rebehaviour won’t erode their tired, is the former editor of the Northern Star. masculinity.

Give it away Singer says simply that we grow enough food to feed the world and we have enough wealth to end poverty. His arguments are meticulous and relentless. He says we really should give away 10 per cent of our annual income, but 5 percent is more realistic. Singer clinched it for me. He also said we should spread the word about giving, so here goes. I had retired from my fulltime job a couple of years ago and now live happily on a small superannuation pension and a bit of private media training. I thought the 5 per cent would hurt, but it hasn’t, honestly. The bits and pieces of private work enable us to travel on the cheap. So I thought, why not give some of that 5 percent while travelling in less wealthy countries? So it was, two months ago, I was on a family visit to kwaZulu-Natal Province in South Africa. My sister had done some research for me, and that’s how I found iThemba. Just inland from Durban is a place of great beauty. And a place of deadly menace. The Valley of a Thousand Hills plunges down from the surrounding escarpments into a myriad hills and river valleys, dotted with clusters of dwellings – village kraals. But the dreamy panorama www.echo.net.au

conceals the fact that this is a world hot-spot for AIDS. South Africa has appalling HIV-AIDS statistics, and the post-apartheid ANC government has only in the past year accepted the disease exists. The government’s own confused estimates put the 2009 death toll as high as 750,000. If left unchecked, AIDS could wipe out a third of the country’s population of 48 million within two decades.

Macho culture And the Valley of a Thousand Hills is AIDS Central. It is Zulu heartland, where a debased, macho culture rules. Unemployment, violent crime and rape are the stuff of everyday life. Local paramedic organisations tell their first aid classes that four out of five women in the area are HIV positive.

The signs of hope are small and brave. One effort to hold back the coming holocaust clings to the edge of a cliff overlooking the Valley. It is Focus on iThemba, a non-profit, public benefit organisation started in 2003 by retired Durban businessman Danie van den Heever. The aim is to establish 20 foster homes for AIDS orphans, mostly drawn from the adjoining Embo community.

Murwillumbah

When the warm rays of the morning sun rise over Australia, the first place they light up is Mount Warning. Known by most of the local Aboriginal people as Wollumbin, which means cloud catcher, Mount Warning and its caldera were formed more than 20 million years ago after a massive eruption caused the walls of this now extinct volcano to collapse. The towering, coneshaped peak of the mountain dominates just about every view of the Tweed hinterland, and it alone makes the trip worthwhile. But the area has so much more to offer. The Tweed hinterland is the ideal destination for a scenic and relaxing day out. Around every corner in every village, there are interesting places to go and things to experience, fascinating people to meet, delicious food and of course the stunning scenery. Each village has its own unique charm, so make sure you explore as many of them as possible. An old rural

SEASICK STEVE HOTEL GREAT NORTHERN FRIDAY

PHRASE BEACH HOTEL FRIDAY

Without going into the gory details, Tim Stokes had a pretty severe bout of depression and mental health problems in 1999. Tim’s personal recovery included travel and he found himself passing through Western Australia, US, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Indonesia, Western Europe, and he lived in both Scotland and Ireland. Stokes became a chef while he was overseas and on his return to Australia, worked for a few years in Sydney, beginning in the Newtown area at the organic restaurant, ‘Peasants Feast’. After a stretch in the kitchen, Stokes put down his spoon and picked up his guitar and began busking. ‘I would busk in Sydney at the Manly Corso, the Rocks, Oxford Street, Newtown and Kings Cross. I was also performing in songwriter venues around the inner west and Northern Beaches. It was a good time, but hard and little money in a big city.’ After his second trip to the Blues Fest, Stokes was at Lennox Point and thinking maybe he should spend some more time in the area, when fate stepped in. ‘I did a head gasket and I was stuck living in Belongil Fields without much money and a pretty healthy car repair bill. I had a surf at Trestles in Ballina and afterward meditated on what to do. Strongly coming through at the end of my sit was – go to Byron and get a job as a chef.’’

The sit was true and Tim worked at the Balcony, the Beach Café and Satori. While working as a chef, Stokes was busking regularly and supported Geoff Turnbull at the Rails for his first pub gig. Since then, Tim has yet again traded pot for pick and is gigging heavily in the Northern Rivers contributing much to the jollies of audiences. ‘My absolute goal is to play festivals, that’s where it is at for me. I love the energy of festivals, when people are happy and really loving life, when people are looking around and no matter who you are, they are your friend. If people can connect with themselves and each other through my music then that would be an amazing gift. I want to be having an amazing time and have the audience having an amazing time. ‘I like to perform a variety of songs and from folk type numbers to up beat rocky numbers and dirty desert blues style too. I have spent a lot of time watching acts at festivals and venues in Sydney and here on the North Coast and I am always engaged the most by the up-tempo and festive type music.’ Music is in Tim Stokes’ soul. It is his freedom, his expression and his therapy. It shapes his world. ‘I want to see people smiling and feel great inside. To uplift and entertain!’

THE HEART IS A LONELY PUNTER Last week I turned 42. According to Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy this number is not just the one assigned to follow 41, it is in fact the meaning of life. And so turning 42 felt somehow strangely significant, like upon waking I would be filled with a random wisdom about the silent threads that connect us all. Not to be. Instead I woke in a caravan at Evan’s Head at 5.30am with my heart racing. Not from the excitement of showering in thongs and queuing for a morning poo, not

even from the rather precarious thrill of being overweight but still one of the thinnest women on site. (The obesity averages are through the roof at the holiday park, an informal survey on the way to the amenities block revealed that 9 in 10 people are happily morbid.) I am a Lone Paryoxl Fibulator. Sounds exotic, like a dusty Clint Eastwood riding off into the sunset on his pony alone. But it’s nothing as sexy as that. Basically it means that, surprise surprise, my heart has an aberrant pathway‌ probably why I have three fathers to my four kids, and I’m prone to unexpected bouts of atrial fibulation. Upon waking my heart will click from a sinus rhythm of 60 beats per minute to 120, then 90 then 150 then 130. Strap on a monitor and you have cardiac Keno. It’s not life threatening, it’s just debilitating and if I don’t revert in the first hour or so it usually involves a trip to the hospital. Happy Birthday. I’m at Lismore Base A&E, the triage have rushed me through to a bed. There’s nothing like a dodgy ticker to move you to the front of the queue. I’m next to a woman who hasn’t had a poo for two weeks. She’s

getting morphine. Lucky bitch. If you have ever thought that the years are rushing by, that your life has reached warp speed I suggest you spend a few hours in a hospital bed. Every second takes at least an hour. An hour is almost a week. I’m reminded of the line from Withnail and I .‌’even a stopped clock gives the time twice a day’. My heart is freaking but I’m quite calm. I’m strapped to a monitor, have an ECG, blood pressure taken, give my story to the nurse for the first of what will turn out to be about 25 times and then I settle in for a sulk. Amid the pain and misery of the casualty ward all I can think is, great fricking birthday idiot. I don’t feel 42, I feel 102. A thousand fat people smoking ciggies and drinking beer and eating BBQ pork spare ribs at the caravan park where I’m holidaying and I’m the one in hospital with a health problem. It’s my karmic retribution for gloating. There is nothing to do. Nothing to read. No one to talk to. I am not in pain, which is unfortunate because I’m the only one not being given morphine. I can hear every other bugger in A&E being dosed with the legal narcotic, the guy who got his

arm stuck in the mulcher, the guy beside me with meningitis with a cranking headache, the woman with unexplained abdominal pain, the bloke with kidney stones who sounds like he’s giving birth, even the woman suffering chronic constipation‌ everyone except me. It’s hardly fair. It is my birthday after all. If I’m going to spend the day in hospital I could at least be morphed off my face, floating off onto some opiate cloud. But no, I can’t even have a cup of tea. I contemplate complaining about my ingrown toenail. They give me a Panadol. I am settling in for a cracker of a birthday sulk. Nearly all my friends forget to ring. I’m so bored I contemplate ringing them and saying ‘Hi, I just rang you so you can wish me a happy birthday’ just to fill in the time. Surrounded by the groans of human suffering I’m reminded that my self-indulgence is shameful. What a big middleaged baby. Perhaps this is all there is after 40, disappointment and discomfort. By three in the afternoon I finally revert and end up drinking a decaf at Lismore Square. Life just doesn’t get any better than this.

throughout Oz and a little bird tells me that the bones of Vol 3 are already being assembled for release and a surprise ‘cover’ to be released early 2010. Pay attention Australia, Helm are on the rise and the winds of change are blowing‌ they blow into town Friday 7.30pm at the Byron Bay Brewery.

THE LUCKY WONDERS | BYRON BAY BREWERY | SATURDAY

Helm A lot has happened for Gold Coast Rock band Helm since their formation just short of two years ago. After only six months of writing through early 2008, they entered the recording studio to give birth to their debut Vol 1 – Keelhaul, emerging on the live gig scene in September 2008 with the debut already in hand. The album in question proved to be a total hit across the

board, receiving rave reviews from world wide street press, popular magazines and reviewers in general. Between July ‘09 to now, they have managed to ‘quietly’ duck back in to the studio to rip out a searing follow up album set to be an even bigger smash than the debut, Vol 2 – The Winter March was released on the Goldy on December 18 and has been followed by an extensive three month launch tour

to us in Byron Bay. We await with grand anticipation to witness this MC mastermind ARIA nominee perform tracks from his debut album as well as his second released album, Clockwork. See Phrase from 9pm on Friday at the Beach Hotel.

It’s all in the wording of the Phrase

Huckleberry Swedes will be Somewhere By Sundown

Australian Hip Hop heavyweight is here. Phrase’s debut album Talk With Force ushered in a new era for Aussie Hip Hop with its raw subject matter and unrivalled sonic foundations. The breakthrough single entitled Hold On solidified his position at the forefront of the Oz Hip Hop movement. Phrase has performed many shows across the country supporting artists like Snoop Dogg, Rahzel, Scribe and Mob Deep, just to name a few. Now he comes live

Adelaide Alternative Country Soul Band, Huckleberry Swedes are touring in January to promote the second single from their acclaimed album, Suburban Dreaming. Somewhere By Sundown is the perfect road song. A dark, brooding tale which explores the fact that the hardest part of many a journey is merely starting it. Chomping at the bit to get back on the road, this tour has posed no such problems for the Swedes.

The band have started this expedition with enthusiasm and are currently on the road through the Eastern States. Having already taken in Canberra, Newcastle, Sydney and a Tamworth Festival residency, Huckleberry Swedes are heading up the NSW Coast to play in Lismore and Byron Bay. Recently signed to Shock Publishing, Huckleberry Swedes have a great year ahead, currently writing their second album and will soon be releasing a live DVD. Don’t miss your opportunity to see Huckleberry Swedes live at The Rails on Thursday from 7pm.

An early review of Two Dancers, published on ClashMusic.com reads: ‘Affecting, audacious, captivating of fantastical flourishes, it’s an album to champion ‘til all superlatives are spent.’ The review is scored 9/10. The Sunday Times newspaper (UK) gave the album its Album Of The Week accolade, reviewing it 5/5 and described it as ‘one of 2009’s indisputable masterpieces’. You can get your taste of the beast on Thursday at the Great Northern Hotel.

Seasick Steve in seaside Byron For those who haven’t heard the rags to riches story of this blistering and passionate live performer, listen up. Before

winning Best Breakthrough Act at the 2007 MOJO Awards, Seasick Steve had held down jobs as a carnie, a garbage man, a roofer and even sold shoes, just to name a few. He’d lived a life on the road, having left home at 13 in the 1950s, travelling the country mostly by hopping freight trains and

hitch hiking. In the nineties he worked as a recording engineer and producer with many bands, including Modest Mouse, but it was his performance on the Jools Holland Annual Hootenanny BBC TV show in 2006 that shot him to stardom and resulted in him playing the most UK festivals

From hobo to bonafide rockstar, Seasick Steve is one artist that needs to be seen to be believed.

THE TOOTH FAIRY

Felliniesque. Day-Lewis’s Italian accent is desultory but, like Marcello Mastroianni, he’s a handsome devil and, angst ridden and unshaven, he smokes with terrific gusto. If you enjoyed Marshall’s 2003 Oscar winning Chicago you will surely love this, but if, as I did, you sobbed with relief when it finally ended, you will find Nine watchable only for its lush cinematography. Worst of all, it has no heart. I purged myself of it by watching La Strada on DVD – unarguably the work of a great artist. ~ John Campbell

www.dendy.com.au

Great artists don’t always make great art, especially when they have attained a level of fame where their genius goes unquestioned. By the early sixties, the Italian maestro Federico Fellini was an internationally acclaimed filmmaker, so he took it upon himself to bless the world with an autobiographical piece that focused on all the women of his life. As topics go, it would have to be one of the most jaw-breaking yawns that a selfsatisfied A-lister could foist on the hoi polloi, among whom the indulgence is colloquially referred to as a wank. Fellini’s 8½ has here been transformed by Rob Marshall into a musical, though why he bothered is anybody’s guess, for the result is excruciating. Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) is booked into a Cinecitta studio to shoot his next movie, but with the set constructed, the costumes designed and the cameras ready to roll, he still hasn’t written a script. There follows the roll-call of divas, each of them taking a turn to launch an assault on the eardrums with a collection of uniquely dreadful songs. Judi Dench shaking her booty in a Folies Bergère routine draws a reaction of ‘oh dear’ rather than ‘oh wow’, Sophia Loren, once magnifica, has denied the years but morphed into an expressionless wax doll, puffy faced Kate Hudson is left to cope with the most puerile of lyrics, and Nicole Kidman as Guido’s muse (no wonder he is so devoid of inspiration) is as sexy as a test tube, falling a long way short of filling an Anita Ekberg evening gown. Penélope Cruz does her fiery/ pouty thing, but I’m well over her (give it a rest Pen), leaving only Marion Cotillard (staking an early claim for the part of Audrey Hepburn when that bio-pic gets up), as the wife Guido serially takes for granted, and Fergie (Stacy Ferguson of the Black Eyed Peas) to emerge with reputations unscathed – Fergie’s nostalgic B/W scene on the beach with the little boys is authentically

7.30pm. Deva and Miten have a mission – to introduce as many people as possible to the healing power of mantra chanted and sung in the original Sanskrit language. Composer, arranger and Deva’s life partner Miten toured with Fleetwood Mac, Ry Cooder, Lou Reed and others in his rock ’n’ roll youth, but gave rock away in 1980 after discovering the power of meditation and the world of chant. The duo will be accompanied by renowned Nepalese bansuri maestro (Indian bamboo flute), Manose. See more at www. devapremalmiten.com.

Dan Cares DJ, producer and promoter of the infamous ‘Bandits’ parties at club 77 in Sydney, following the bang gang parties, and apparently the last cool party to happen in Sydney… ’Bandits’ is no more. Dan Cares now runs the ueber popular monthly Sunday party in Newcastle, ‘Sundae Fundaze’, and along with aliases Kid Kash and Dan De Caires the Michigan born James Newell Oserberg Jr. keeps asses shaking and bodies breaking. Dan Cares is a ‘pornographer and occasional pilot of his own private Discoplane’. … defying old school cool, Dan Cares ‘is making you feel like the cool kids you really are’ …a true sampler, Dan Cars rips tracks from DJ-forums, buys vinyl in garage sales and who knows, probably steals antediluvian black wax from friends’ parents’ basements. Dan Cares has his finger on the pulse and so far has supported many favourite internationals including Daft Punk, Mr Oizo, Boy 8 Bit, Alan Braxe, DJ Craze, Uffie and Feadz, Drop The Lime/Curses!, Teki Latex, Headman, Dave Nada, Fake Blood, DIM, Boys Noize, DJ Mehdi, Busy P, Mylo, Digitalism, Low Budget (hollertronix), In Flagranti, Princess Superstar, Freeform Five, Ratatat, Chicks On Speed, Sinden, Riton, Dada Life. Fashion labels such as Dunlop and Target are already using Dan’s compositions and productions to go with their new lines and next season’s ritzy rags. Q: How would you describe your style?

A: ‘Duct Tape!! It’s like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.’ Q: Who inspires you? A: ‘DJ wise – Girltalk, Mehdi, Derrick Carter & Boys Noize. Production wise – Daft Punk, New Order, Hot Chip, Tiga.’ Q: What do you focus on when promoting a party? A: ‘Party = Fun with an exploration of all things deep (not meaningful).’ Q: What is a good party venue? A: ‘Somewhere that feels like home. There are some great venues that do this all over Australia, I would have to say my favourites are Sorry Grandma in Melbourne, Club 77 in Sydney, La La Land in Byron, Ruby Tramp in Gold Coast and Electric Circus in Adelade – all of these places seem to capture the essence of ‘party’.’ Q: Are you producing? If so, what is cooking in your studio? A: ‘Yes I am. As we speak Salmon and Asparagus, but we are planning on getting back to our remix of Crave You by Flight Facilities as soon as we finish eating. Generally speaking we are always working on originals for our band ‘Shake and Shout’ but at the moment we’ve put a bit of emphasis into our remix for work and have a few tracks coming out over the next couple of months on Sweat It Out and Bang Gang 12 Inches as “Loods and Dan Cares! ‘Shake n Shout’.’ Q: Who is in your top playlist at the moment? A: ‘In terms of dance music, it

varies so much from day to day - Soulwax is always a favourite, same deal with Mr.Oizo, Headman, Chromeo, LCD Soundsytem and just about anything by Classixx. Always listening to a lot of Hot Chip, The Glimmers, The Horrors, Big L, Black Keys, The Strokes, N.W.A and older stuff like Led Zepplin, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, New Order, David Bowie, The Beatles, Talking Heads, Tears For Fears, Genesis. Sorry, I could be here all day. Q: What can people expect from your set at La La Land? A: ‘I’ll be taking it back to fundamentals; it will be all about bringing out party jams de rigueur. No ballyhoo, just a good time with your friends with enough good music to keep you wet through the summer night and ease you out of the heat wave and into the nu-wave.’ Go jump on a ride with Dan’s electropunkcrunk booty circus at La La Land. Supporting DJs Derek K and Captain Kaine. Entry $15. LiQUiD Liquid will be closed Tuesday but will kick in midweek and towards February’s weekly’s Young Guns Disco with Deegs and LT80, Rubix Presents with Adam Taylor and Rubix, Hello Disco with Tashi, LT80, Deegs and Captain Kaine and Saturdays H2O with rotating favourites Dave Basek, Dee Dee, Dave C and Adam Taylor. Survival Day, Australia Day, Invasion Day… remember it all and celebrate a brighter future for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians...

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

TAURUS: The best of intentions could start to fray under the brunt of this week’s relationship planets bickering, but give arguments minimum energy and attention and they’ll run out of steam. If unsettling news arrives, remember closure and openings are flip sides of the cosmic coin. GEMINI: The forces of disorder are giving you a makeover this week whether you want one or not, so you may as well relax and enjoy it. Twins Who Do Too Much (are there any other sort?) are advised to take it easy and spend some time nurturing yourself.

While Zhao Zong Yuan was capturing his first Australian title in Sydney last week, Anthony Ker was adding an amazing eleventh New Zealand Championship title to his collection. Forty-two-year-old Ker has only occasionally been the top player in New Zealand and yet he has lifted the famous silver rook every second year since his first title win in 1988. It took Ker almost two decades after his first championship success to earn the International Master title and even now he is ranked only fourth among active NZ players. Yet Ker seems to have an astonishing ability to lift his game for the most important NZ tournament of the year. In 2010 Ker got away to a fast start, collapsed with two consecutive losses mid-tournament, but fought back to edge out Nicholas Croad for the title. Ker has now won more than twice as many national titles as the Australian record-holder, Darryl Johansen, though the competitions are not quite comparable

This weekend’s explosive energy is a tough call for you Libran peace keepers who’ll have your work cut out being charming and calming. SCORPIO: Aquarian transits often radically rearrange life into new patterns, and this weekend’s volcanic full moon puts you right in the spotlight (or is it the hot seat) by ripping the blinkers off a blind spot concerning just what needs adjusting in your world. SAGITTARIUS: Some love your mischievous wit, enterprising ideas and outspoken opinions this week – others won’t know you’re joking and could take offence which is detrimental to your career chances. It’s a button pushing week, but the less you push the more rewarding you’ll find it.

CANCER: A week of spontaneous hookups and unexpected pleasures – before the weekend’s full moon in the sign of drama queens plus an unfriendly outer planetary alignment suggests bunkering down in the Crabcave with enough sustenance and distractions until Monday shifts life back into drive mode. LEO: Such bad planetary management having this weekend’s annual full moon in Leo overshadowed by a combative Mars/Saturn/Uranus/ Pluto! But it really is imperative to tread carefully, because impressive wins are possible if you handle dummy spits and emotional histrionics with dignity and diplomacy. VIRGO: Interpersonal communications could be volatile this week – you might get more joy tuning into its strong psychic energies for guidance if that’s your sort of thing.

AQUARIUS: The Sun, Venus, Neptune trifecta in Aquarius makes this a major fun week which takes you out of your head into your senses.

NON-TROPICAL VANILLA The very first vanilla to be grown outside the tropics has been harvested in New Zealand, thanks to the efforts of one family. In 2002 New Zealander John Ross developed a method of growing vanilla all year round in Tonga and then, with the help of his daughter and son-in-law, proceeded to duplicate the Tongan conditions (matching the soil, introducing computer-controlled humidity and heating using geo-thermal hot water) which has resulted in an end-product of the richest grade of vanilla. Heilala Vanilla, as it is named, is of the Madagascar Bourbon variety which is considered to be the best quality, exuding a creamy, sweet richness. The Tongan production of Heilala Vanilla is already exported to Australia (as well as to Singapore and Malaysia, with distribution about to be finalised into the UK and California), and it has quickly become a must-have product amongst chefs. For further information contact Llawela Forrest on 03 90783042 or llawela@ runforrest.com.au

GET THE APHRODOPE With Valentine’s Day hovering, a special liqueur has recently been launched, called Aphrodope. Enclosed in a designer embossed glass bottle, its ingredients are based on a blend of natural herbs, berries and seeds which are, appropriately, historically noted to contain aphrodisiac qualities. Its alcohol volume is 35%, and according to its breathless promotional material, its ‘unique distillation processing of the aphrodisiac-charged fruits, herbs and berries makes it possible to lock the powers of ‘Love in a Bottle’ which can be used at will!’ It can be served simply over lots of ice with fresh citrus fruit, mixed into cocktails, added to coffee or hot chocolate or incorporated into cooking; the website offers such recipes as Aphrodoped Lobster, Aphrodoped Pavlova and Aphrodoped Strawberries. It comes in two sizes, 500 ml. ($39.95) and 50 ml. ($3.95) for the more cautious – and for stockists, its website www.aphrodope.com should be visited.

Victoria Cosford All the way up past Bundaberg the signs read ‘Mangoes, $10 a tray’: it was tempting to stop for one except that we kept thinking we would do so on the way back. It did not, in the end, matter that this never eventuated because back home on one of our Sunday drives through lush fields en route to a beach there, suddenly, was the same deal. This time we did stop and purchase a tray (there were at least twenty lovely specimens therein) – only to discover, a little further on, a sign proclaiming trays of mangoes for $6! A price utterly ridiculous for this most luxurious and luscious fruit. But it was already clear that a glut, or bumper harvest as journalists like to describe it, was taking place over north eastern Australia. Sure enough, there was a newspaper article shortly afterwards which talked about the need in Brisbane for a special ‘flying squad’ of waste collectors to deal with the surfeit. Residents were apparently hurling their excess, rotting fruit into wheelie bins rendering them too heavy to lift; some rubbish collectors were even rebelling by refusing to empty them. The reason for all these mangoes is that this summer has been unseasonably mild, bereft too of the summer storms which usually knock young fruit and flowers from the trees. Apparently the council has even posted a foolproof mango chutney recipe on its website! There are only so many fresh mangoes you can eat before – that good old law of diminishing returns – you begin to tire of them. Certainly, having a refrigerator full of them has facilitated one of my new year’s aims to eat more fresh fruit daily – but at a certain point I need to start cooking.

BYRON BAY

Indigenous to India, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years, mangoes are almost the archetypal tropical fruit. They sing of summer and Christmas in Australia. The word ‘luscious’ was, I am sure, coined to describe them. Interestingly, however, their use in cooking is largely confined to South Asian cuisine, utilising them in both their ripe and unripe forms. Sour green mangoes are used to make chutneys and pickles and are also eaten raw with salt and chilli. Perhaps this is because – at least in Australia – they are generally regarded as such a treat, a special succulent taste of summer for several months only, that to cook with them seems like a waste. (All this of course made a mockery of in the current conditions, mind you.) Not to mention fiddly in their preparation, that

obstinately clinging stone and fibrous flesh only good for sucking on. In fact, they are glorious to cook with, and can mostly take the place of other stone fruits like plums and apricots and peaches. Once you have mastered the ‘hedgehog’ style of cutting the fruit – slicing off two cheeks then cutting a cross-thatch of cubes through to the skin – the preparation is minimal. For my cheesecakeloving beloved I made a mango and coconut cheesecake; the following day I inflicted on him mango and coconut muffins. Blind-bake a sweet pastry shell then, when it is cool, fill it with fresh mango slices. Simmer for 10 minutes about a cup of mango pulp with half a cup of sugar, 1/4 cup water and 3 tablespoons of lime juice then rub this through a sieve. Return it to a saucepan and stir in 1 tablespoon of arrowroot mixed with a little cold water and cook gently until thickened. Cool, pour over the top of the mango slices, chill then serve with vanilla ice cream. Make a Mango Upside Down Cake, or an afternoon tea-loaf of Mango Bread. Swirl 3 cups of stiffly whipped and chilled cream through 3 cups sieved mango puree, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice and pile into a parfait glass for a Mango Fool you can embellish further with a splosh of rum. Make Mango Mousse. Chop up mangoes and freeze them for future Smoothies, or Lassis, one of India’s most popular drinks. Or whip up these wholesome muffins.

MANGO AND COCONUT MUFFINS 500 gr. plain white flour 500 gr. plain whoiemeal flour 300 gr. caster sugar 2 1/2 tsp bicarb.soda (sifted) 250 mls vegetable oil 2 eggs 300 mls milk 700 - 900 gr. chopped mango flesh 2/3 cup shredded coconut. Heat oven to 180˚C. In a large bowl combine dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Whisk together eggs and oil. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and tip in egg/oil mixture, milk and fruit, then stir to combine throughly, being careful not to over-mix. Dollop into 12 large greased muffin moulds and bake for about 40 minutes.

One perfect day at Reed’s Horatio Bitemark

On Australia Day we eschewed all offers of grilled sausage meat and took the Maseratis to Reed’s at Montecollum. This little-known establishment is run by Brian Reed, brother of the more famous Lou, who Sanders the butler tells me is known for popular songs such as ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ and ‘Perfect Day’ which have hitherto failed to sail into my ken. While the young Lewis was studying journalism at Syracuse University, young Brian took himself off to Mrs Beatrice Throttle’s Academy of Haute Cuisine at Sherrill, New York State. One might think that nothing good has come out of Sherrill – apart from the Lubricious Sisters, contortionists – but Mrs Throttle had learnt her secrets from the master chefs of France and imparted her wisdom unerringly to Brian. Now a man in his sixties with a fine head of salt-andpepper hair, Brian welcomed us warmly to his restaurant. The interior is whitewashed plaster walls above a floor of polished red cedar boards. Red geraniums in pots are distributed among timber tables. The geranium is out of fashion but I think it makes a warm, homey addition to any interior. In addition, it always reminds me of a private island in Greece where I first learnt underwater backgammon.

On the walls are autographed photos of Brian’s better-known customers – his brother, of course, Prince Charles, the Sultan of Brunei, Lara Bingle, and Lady Paddlethrop, mountaineer and inventor of the electric paperclip. Some might find this pretentious but I think Brian is genuinely appreciative of his clientele. We appropriated for the day the north-facing verandah with its stunning views of the Brunswick Valley and the phallic protuberance of Mt Chincogan. Abbotsleigh first ventured into the swimming pool to try out his inflatable effigy of the Venus of Willendorf, designed to cradle the natationist in an ample decolletage reminiscent of the warmth which geraniums bring to the aesthete. For his part Tosser Digby, with our host’s permission, took the chance to pot off a marauding gang of domestic dogs which had been troubling a shepherdess he adored. His weapon of choice was the Krieghoff Essencia 28 gauge with telescopic sights, ideal for both Rottweiler and Pomeranian. Following an interesting dish of salted limes with mustard cress, we moved on to the splendid Melange of Pheasant Coucal in a Splint of Montecollum Chilli, rated 3,800 on the Scoville scale. We offset the spiciness somewhat

with a the 2008 Station Street Big Box Sauvignon Blanc, speaking to us of lemon myrtle and corporate piquancy. We took Brian’s suggestion and finished with the Jenipapo Ice Cream, accompanied by a cheeky little dessert wine named Boulevardier’s, redolent of cherries and a hint of hair cream. ‘I say, Bitemark,’ said Digby as he settled back with the hookah presented to him for saving the Shah of Indinnahjam’s life, ‘is patriotism still the last refuge of scoundrels?’ ‘I should think so,’ I replied. ‘and of politicians, if one can distinguish them as separate species.’ As the sounds of Abbotsleigh splashing rose up to the verandah, Digby and I stared out over the valley, contemplating the perfidy of humankind, its redemption in the likes of Mr Reed, and the ineffable beauty of nature.

Instant karma comes in a battered pigskin John Campbell

An ancient leather football came into my possession a few months ago. It was given to me by the Ferret in appreciation of the times he’s been a guest at Goonengerry. Like all old friends, he is insanely annoying, but, well … what can you do with them but love ‘em for their peculiar ways and the past they share with you? Over dinner, he gossiped with juicy detail about the stick that a mutual acquaintance was getting from his girlfriend for not being personable. ‘She’s right,’ he conceded, ‘but you’re not personable either and nobody cares.’ Need I say, his way with words lacks a degree of subtlety. ‘You drink cask wine now?’ ‘It improves out of sight when decanted,’ I offered. ‘Hmm …’ The Ferret wasn’t convinced, but as it’s a given that he wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow in such matters, we lustily attacked a second litre of De Bertoli’s kanga rouge. ‘Remember that football I told you about? The one signed by all the players in some famous test in the sixties?’ Sybil Fawlty once shrieked ‘Will you turn off that racket, Basil!’ To which he replied ‘that’s Beethoven’s Fifth racket,

darling.’ ‘Some famous test’ provoked the same vexation in me. Eric Ashton’s stellar British rugby league side toured Australia in 1962 (Warren Ryan still raves about them). They gave our boys a caning in the first test at the SCG (31-12) and repeated the dose in the second at Brisbane (17-10). The third game, in Sydney, though a dead rubber, proved

to be a milestone in the history of the code. At the death, the great Ken Irvine (then with Norths, later Manly) pinned his ears back and raced over for a try in front of the Members’ Stand. From the sideline, with no time left on the clock, his conversion attempt was long enough … and high enough … and straight between the posts! We win 18-17. The ball that sailed through

the uprights on that distant Saturday afternoon was the very same one that I was presented with.

<echowebsection=Sport>

response of Luke McMahon, former secretary of the Byron Bay Red Devils. He emailed a few days later with promising news. A pal of his, Dennis Ward (former Canterbury, Manly, NSW and Australian half-back), had found one at a store somewhere in New Zealand. The bladder made its transTasman flight and was transported by Luke from the Gold Coast to Byron. Next was the tricky problem of replacing the original without damaging the crusty leather casing. Manual dexterity is not my long suit – in fact it’s the shortest suit I’ve got – and the expression on Luke’s face, struggling as he was to get his poodle off the banana chair, suggested he might not be my go-to man for this job. After drawing a blank with the Mullumbimby Giants, I made a last ditch trek into Lismore – is there any place on Earth more baking when the sun’s high in the sky and there is not a breath of air to cool the sweat that’s dripping down your back? I got lucky at a sports and camping goods shop in Keen Street, where a fellow with a GI Joe crewcut obligingly performed the feat as though he did it every day of the week. Because nothing is worth

having unless it can be shared, I proudly showed the ball to a number of people – but their apathy was staggering. Desperate, I sought out a couple of connoisseurs of footy memorabilia, Renaissance blokes who understand that there are more things to exercise the agile mind than holiday letting and boring old climate change. I hurried to Mullum and called on Kevin Oxford, owner of the Poinciana Café and grandson of Arthur Oxford (Souths, Easts, NSW and Australia). ‘Maaate, that’s gold!’ It was exactly the sort of informed enthusiasm I was hoping for. Then to the Echo office and Video Pete the Sea Eagles tragic. ‘Maaate … !’ Words failed him, then he boasted ‘I’ve got Mooney’s ’72 grand final jersey.’ ‘Be a tight fit on him now, ay?’ The consensus is that it would violate the collectors’ creed to go over the players’ faded signatures in biro – the passage of time must be honoured. Among them, however, I can clearly make out the names of Ian Walsh, Johnny Raper and Ken Irvine, the winger with the blistering speed whose magic moment at the SCG on Bastille Day, 1962, has gone down in the annals.

Ela is Nipper’s golden girl Mullum swimmers knock up 100

Ela Heiniger, who won two gold medals at the recent Country Championships, loves the Bruns Nippers and is looking forward to one day being a patroller for the club. Photo Tree Faerie.

Though the Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club is a comparatively small one, it has a lot of heart. The Bruns Nippers are no exception and they perform well in carnivals and competitions all over the state.

Twelve year old Ela Heiniger had a great meet at the recent New South Wales Surf Life Saving Country Championships which were held at South West Rocks from January 15-17. Approximately 1300 competitors from 31 clubs throughout the state excluding the major metropolitan areas, gathered at the Rocks for this huge carnival at which Ela won gold medals in both the Under 13 girls Iron Person event and the Surf Race. The Brunswick team comprised of 13 nippers who represented the club admirably with most at least making finals – another outstanding performance on the day was put in by 11 year old Abbey Lang from Mullumbimby who won the bronze medal in the Under 12 girls board race. The Brunswick Surf Club is very proud of all members who competed and they are currently training for the Far North Coast championships to be contested on January 30 and 31 at Lennox Head. The Branch Championships will be contested by nine local clubs from Fingal to Yamba. The club is optimistic of strong performances at the championships. For more info about the Brunswick SLSC or to find out about Nippers, visit: www.brunswickslsc.org.

NS14s sail through storms Over the Christmas period, four NS14 class dinghies from the Richmond River club sailed in the 41st NS14 National Championships held at Manly on Brisbane’s Moreton Bay. Local competitors took 9th, 11th, 30th and 34th places out of 42 starters. Seven heats were sailed, with points awarded according to the boat’s placing in each race – lowest points wins the series. It was wonderful to have the Championships only a 2-hour away. NS14 Nationals are held

in far-flung places and luckily this year’s series was flung towards us. Next year’s is to be run by the ACT club and they are considering holding it on beautiful Jervis Bay. This year at Manly the weather was kind at about 5 knots for heat 1 and up to about 15 knots on most other days. First time forward-hand Ehren Hyde of Dunoon, was a wonder on ‘in a frenzy’, having just joined up to sail with Duncan in November. By the end of the series they had dou-

bled their experience at sailing together and Ehren had seen it all: a 4th place in race 1; having to beat another competitor by two places in race 7 to finish 9th; and finally missing out on 8th place by only one point. Full results for the event appear in the forum section of www.ns14.org. Duncan is looking forward to the rest of the sailing season at his local club in Ballina and the NSW State Championships over Easter this year to be held at Gosford.

The Mullumbimby Pool has come up with a novel way to encourage people to get fit this summer. In October last year the 100 Club started – the club is free to join with members logging the amount of laps they swim. When members make it to 100km (2000 laps), they receive an exclusive ‘100 Club’ T-shirt thanks to 100 Club sponsors Gordon and Nicky Lee from Lighthouse Removals – Gordon and his family are regular users of the pool and he was delighted to help out when he heard about the need for a sponsor. The club is 190 members and 1000s of kilometres strong and holds social events throughout the season. The November challenge month helped up the kilometres when lap swimmers were able to challenge each other to do more laps for that month. Some of the outstanding achievements include nearly 300km by Pierre Carpenter – that’s nearly 6000 laps people. Pierre is leading the top 20 with

Did you know that the first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people? ATL AS P RO FILAXÂŽ by RenĂŠ C. Schuemperli

This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application Accurately, Safely and Permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is non-medical, non-chiropratic.

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

If you can give “Max” a loving home please contact Lesa on 0438 363 287. It is breeding season, and undesexed cats, driven by uncontrollable hormones, are out roaming.

New research reveals upwardly mobile renters search for property on the go W ith January being the busiest time of the year to search for a rental property, new research reveals many house hunters are now using their mobile phones to shortlist and inspect properties for rent while on the go. Based on new data, realestate.com.au, owned by the REA Group, has revealed that almost half (44 per cent) of property

inside:

Property in focus page 55

searches to its mobile site are for rental enquiries. Spokesperson for realestate. com.au Peter Wright indicated today’s mobile technology means house hunters now have the future of their property needs in the palm of their hands – especially those who are time poor. ‘The new year brings many changes in peoples’ lives – a change in career, relocating to pursue university study or a sea change, means many house hunters need to secure rental accommodation fast,’ said Peter. ‘January is typically the busiest time of the year for the real estate sector and also the busiest time of the year for traffic to our site at realestate.com.au. ‘The heightened level of search for accommodation coupled with low vacancy rates means there is often more competition in securing a rental property. ‘Interestingly, traffic to our mobile website peaks on a Saturday

between 10am and 11am – a popular time and when house hunters are out in full force at open for inspections.’ REA offers these rental tips to ensure you are not left in the lurch when looking for a house to rent: t 4JHO VQ GPS F BMFSUT TP ZPV BSF in the know with new rental listings coming onto the market t %FWFMPQ B HPPE SBQQPSU XJUI your local real estate agent in advance to ensure you are kept top of mind for when a property comes up t "QQSPBDI ZPVS QSPQFSUZ search with an open mind, look for surrounding areas for cheaper options t "ęFS JOTQFDUJOH B QSPQFSUZ apply online for speed and immediacy to ensure your application is considered t 'PMMPX VQ XJUI UIF BHFOU UP ensure they have received your application and be flexible about moving in dates

The REA Group, headquartered in Melbourne, operates real estate websites around the world. Its sites receive more than 8 million unique visitors per month (Nielsen/NetRatings, Omniture, Google Analytics, November 2009).

Backlash Mudhoney Eco Salon introduces

NEW KERATIN STRAIGHTENING SYSTEM STRAIGHT, SMOOTH, FRIZZ-FREE

Concern about protecting the sensitive Lake Ainsworth environment has led to Lennox Community Market being relocated for one market gathering. This Sunday January 31, the market will be held at Williams Reserve, Lennox Head. Market coordinator Joni Teal said the one-off change of location was due to a combination of a capacity crowd at the local caravan park and a surf carnival being held this weekend. â– â– â– â–

Local campaigner Ash Mackinnon says his group has just passed 2,000 members aiming to get Cyberknife cancer treatment to Australia. ‘Many are still forced overseas,’ says Ash, ‘but with the great results it is worth it for those who can travel or can afford it – my claim for my wife’s treatment just got denied even though five tumours were eradicated.

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world. The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography. 8 week Introductory Course: $600 Monday 4.30 – 7.30pm and Wednesday 4.30 – 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 – 3:30pm Commencing 8th February Venue: Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Gerry Josephson(mob) 0406 788 050

Jess is back with a one on one salon experience.

Whatever your opinion on human-made global warming, it should be an interesting day on Friday in Brisbane when noted sceptics Lord Christopher Monckton, Professor Ian Plimer and Professor Bob Carter present their controversial views. The first gig is a debate and luncheon to be hosted by the Brisbane Institute at the Hilton. RSVP and details at www.brisinst.org.au. If $130 for that do is too pricey, then presentations and questions follow at the Irish Club, directly across the road from the Hilton at 175 Elizabeth Street, and the event will run from 3pm-5pm, doors open at 2.30pm. Cost is $20/$10 at the door.
