Photo exhibition Young women from Byron Shire Youth Council and Byron Girl’s Group are assisting Mullumbimby’s Women’s Resource Service to hold a photographic exhibition on International Women’s Day from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. This year’s event is an exhibition of women’s photos reflecting the many ways women achieve success and contribute to the life of our community. The group has set a number of photographic themes and hopes to encourage the submission of a wide range of images to tell the stories of all women, including those with a disability, those with or without children, older women, Indigenous women and young women. Entries close Monday March 1. For more information on how to submit a photo, download an entry form from www.byron.nsw.gov.au.

Story & photos Paul Williams There was much joy on Wednesday afternoon among an inpromptu gathering of residents (adults, kids and dogs) of South Golden Beach. We were watching the big crane lifting the first span of the footbridge across the Capricoria Canal swung into place – conveniently just after our school kids came home. And the next morning, while most of us were at work or school, Davbridge came with a second big crane and put into place the other two spans. After 16 years or so of waiting and seven months of watching the building site, we now have the main structure of our long awaited bridge in place. There is still work to be done on the bridge deck, railings and approaches but at last we can see how it will look. For many of us it will be a really positive change in our lives and the lives of our children – connecting with friends on both sides of the canal and giving easier and safer access to the beach, shop and preschool. A big thankyou to those who helped make this happen! Just a little wait now until the grand opening...

The tragic repercussions of the earthquake in Haiti just over a month ago have seen about 1.2 million people become homeless. Of that number, most would not only be contending with rebuilding a life but also the grief of losing a loved one from the estimated 230,000 people killed. With emergency and aid groups from all over the world still stretched to the limit, there is more help needed for this small Caribbean nation and a local mum has put up her hand. Naomi Rubinstein has booked the Mullumbimby Civic Hall for a huge shindig on Saturday February 27 and has invited the cream of local artists to be part of the fundraiser. Naomi says she has been overawed with the response from performers who are clamouring to do their bit. ‘There will be many local musicians performing at the concert,’ says Naomi. ‘So far the response has been outstanding. Not one artist has said no, even those that can’t do it due to a previous arrangement have all said they wish they could.’ Artists who have penciled the date in their diaries are Dee Lavell, Rebecca Ireland as well as Alice Blu, Belle Hendrik

Elli and Harriet return to the sea Story & photo Lou Beaumont

Two magnificent turtles were returned to the sea last Friday after a period of rehabilitation at Australian Seabird Rescue. Elli, a green sea turtle, and Harriet, an endangered Hawksbill turtle were released outside the Byron Surf Club amid ASR volunteers and excited onlookers. Elli the turtle was named after her rescuer, 10 year old Ellie Svikis, who had, bizarrely, previously found two turtles that had subsequently been cared for by ASR. In a case of third time lucky, Ellie and her family knew exactly what to do when they found the turtle stranded on the sandbank of the Sandon River in October last year. They put a wet towel over its back and drove the severely emaciated animal directly to the ASR Sea Turtle Hospital in Ballina. Ellie told The Echo, ‘I was pretty excited to find the turtles, but always felt bad for them as they were so lonely and so obviously sick. We felt pretty proud of ourselves when we managed to get Elli to hospital all by ourselves. I’m so excited to be here for the

release back into the wild, this is the first one of the turtles I’ve found that I have been able to say goodbye to properly.’ Keith Williams, ASR general manager, said, ‘When Elli was delivered to us she was severely emaciated, suffering from an intestinal infection and would have died without treatment.

Harriet, the Hawksbill, was a victim of plastic debris, a piece of nylon rope that become lodged in her intestine, causing gas to build up in the body cavity, a debilitating condition that causes a slow and painful death by starvation. ‘After a month in intensive care Harriet was able to pass

the piece of plastic and the gas that was causing her to float and slowly gained weight and fitness. ASR is pleased to announce that after some months in care the turtles have made a full recovery. ‘We are all very excited to see them being returned to the sea.’

Graffiti latest weapon in holiday letting wars Council defers Main Arm DA

Passions are running hot over the holiday letting issue in Byron Bay, with one house owner in Cemetery Road getting in the face of the neighbour by spraypainting ‘Yes to Holiday Letting’ on the side of the building. Photo Lou Beaumont

Byron Shire councillors voted 5-3 last week, Crs Crs Tucker, Woods and Staples opposed, to defer consideration of a controversial subdivision proposal at Main Arm. The DA from M J Davis will be considered ‘at the same meeting as the report on the ReGenesis application’. In the meantime Councillors want a report ‘on the areas of common impacts and obligations of the two applications’. These include the sewerage plan for the village areas on the north of the waterways, the impact of each proposal on road use, and their compliance with the Byron Rural Settlement Strategy (BRSS)’. Council will also request the applicant to consider an amended proposal to reduce the proposed number of village lots.

fact that there were no personal accounts available as to what to expect, neither from a technical nor an emotional point of view. His ebook covers issues such as meeting the surgeon, what to expect in intensive care, recovery, dealing with everything once you are back home – even questions you might forget to ask of medical staff. It discusses writing a will. Brave, humorous and honest, it does not stint on the details of Mat’s lowest points and deepest fears. Once he had written it he looked around for a publisher, advertising in The Echo. En-

ter Russell Lean of Burringbar, now a friend of Mat’s. Russell told The Echo that ‘he’s just an amazing guy! He’s inspiring because of the way he has coped with all this.’ In fact it was this inspiring quality which decided Russell to work for him, and even now ‘I’m doing some ongoing promotions for him.’ Some of these promotions include leaving business cards and pertinent information in doctors’ surgeries and cardiologists’ rooms and becoming associated with the Heart Foundation – to which a percentage of book sales will go. Mat told The

Echo that they have ‘sold a few copies of the ebook, but we’re trying to get more material for it to really get rolling.’ Not only those who have undergone or are about to undergo open-heart surgery would find Mat’s ebook comforting and reassuring, but so also would anyone experiencing major surgery or a health crisis. Support groups are not always available and grave illnesses can make people feel frighteningly alone; books like this one may, as Mat hopes, ‘just get them through’. Mat’s website is www. openheartsurgeryebook.com.

M YO IS DO U S O N’ R U T R T EB O AT N E

It’s the stuff of nightmares. You pay a routine visit to your GP about a minor issue, only to learn that you require major surgery. Such an experience befell Myocum resident Mat Disley, pictured. A sinus problem sent him to a doctor who discovered heart complications; a diagnosis of the congenital condition known as Aortic Stenosis resulted in the need for open-heart surgery. Mat was 35 at the time. Two years later, he is not only healthy and probably fitter than he has ever been before in his life – he has joined the fire service and is currently doing an underwater dive rescue course – but he has written a highly detailed and comprehensive account of the whole experience, which is available as an ebook. ‘I wrote the book’, Mat told The Echo, ‘to help other people going through a similar situation, to get them through it. It was just so horrible...’ He talked about how ‘generally it’s elderly people who have this condition, not younger ones’ and the fact that he ‘did heaps of research before and after the operation. It’s closure for me to write a book about it.’ During all the research he conducted he was struck by the

Plan for keep-it-local centre New biz revisits the 60s/70s Last week the Mullumbimby Community Action Network (MCAN) and Mullum Forum, two of the local groups concerned about Woolworth’s push to enter Mullumbimby, met to discuss the next stage of their campaigns. The groups discussed establishing a Keep it Local Centre in a strategic location in

the growing movement across Australia and internationally in response to the bid by large faceless corporations to dominate local economies. ‘The Keep it Local Centre would draw on the considerable national media coverage Mullumbimby has received and with the support of fellow local communities, international, national, and state organizations present the Woolworths giant with a fight of a magnitude never seen before,’ Mr Scott said. ‘In the meantime look out for our letter writing stall outside Santos and let the Woolworth’s directors know what you think of their plans.’ This week an advertisement appeared in the Australian Financial Review titled ‘Is it right that a big corporation can tell a small town what it needs?’ and letters have been sent from Mullum Forum to the offices and homes of the Woolworths directors. In a letter to Woolworths chairman James Strong, Tricia Shantz, secretary of the Forum, wrote, ‘In pushing to establish a major new commercial hub outside of our town’s existing central business area, Woolworths is presenting an unwelcome threat to the identity, amenity and long-term viability of a unique community.

Kevin Waters believes that the 60s and 70s were the best ever time on the planet. ‘It was a time when everything was definitely at its coolest,’ says Kevin. ‘It was all about love, peace and rock music, Woodstock, the Beatles and Deep Purple.’ As a celebration of all things from that era, Kevin has opened ‘Junkyard Dogz’ to satisfy the needs of all those bowerbirds out there who want to to acquire bits and pieces from yesteryear. Junkyard Dogz is not really about antiques nor retro, but a place somewhere in between. Kevin calls it ‘Retro-nalia’. The shop is a museum of late baby boomer teenagerhood and has plenty of music – mainly LPs and tapes and a few CDs – as well as movies, porcelain, paintings, art and quirky, extreme, weird and wonderful stuff to tantalise collectomaniacs. It is Kevin’s aim that everybody who comes to the shop walks away with that special item which brings back the coolest memories. The shop also has many ‘Tipbits’ to enthrall you, items destined to become landfill. The name Junkyard Dogz came from Kevin’s ability to

Titans a giant treat for schoolkids Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Hundreds of kids across the Byron Shire got a treat last Tuesday when eight players from the Gold Coast Titans spent the day visiting local schools. In pairs, the players visited three schools each, even turning up at the Brunswick Heads Public School swimming carnival at the Mullum pool to visit students and join in the fun. Parents and students at Ocean Shores Public School were tickled blue and gold when Titans Anthony Laffranchi and David Mead stopped by for a chat early Tuesday morning before classes began – an extra bonus for the children as Laffranchi is also a Wallaby. Both local lads, second rower Anthony is from Murwillumbah and winger/fullback Mead is from Lismore, showing that you don’t have to be from the big smoke to play with the big guns. Both blokes were a font of information for the kids and gave some sound advice and a few good laughs to their newly adoring fans. They signed autographs and posed for photos before a trip to the pool in Mullum. They then joined team members at Red Devil Park in Byron Bay for a huge clinic and meet-and-greet with the shire’s kids small and large.

Dan Murphy’s confirmed Woolworths spokesperson Luke Schepen has confirmed the company’s intention to open a Dan Murphy’s liquor store in Byron Bay. The DA had been submitted to Council by Azzura Holdings. According to Schepen, ‘It is important to remember that for most adult Australians, responsible consumption of alcohol is a legitimate and enjoyable

social activity. Although alcohol consumption has declined there are some legitimate questions raised about the effects of alcohol in the community. ‘While there is strong evidence to suggest most anti-social behaviour occurs around late night entertainment venues rather than stores, Dan Murphy’s takes its responsibility to the community very seriously.’

GCAT to love up vandalised ‘bald spot’ A vandalised ‘bald spot’ at Main Beach will be the focus for new dunecare plantings later this month. More than a decade since Green and Clean Awareness Team (GCAT) volunteers took up the task of regenerating Byron Bays dunes, this area near Cowper Street remains bare due to ongoing documented poisonings and plant removal. GCAT spokesperson Veda

Turner said, ‘We have this one area which remains degraded. This year we hope to transform this weak link in the dunes. Our dear friend Anudhi Wentworth planted in this area back in the 1980s. We are dedicating these plantings to her memory. Anudhi passed away last February, this is our way to thank her for her groundbreaking efforts to protect local social and environmental values.’

Green & Clean, the Byron Shire Australia Day ‘Environmental Volunteer Project Award’ winners, meet on the third Sunday of each month. New volunteers are welcome to join in at GCAT’s next activity on February 21. Meet in the park behind the Clarkes Beach Cafe at 9am, volunteers BBQ and prize draw at 12.30pm. Phone Veda Turner on 6685 7991 for information.

June. Japanese carver Keizo Ushio, whose work is pictured above, is a well established artist who has enjoyed international success with his spectacular granite sculptures. Keizo is celebrated for his ingenious carving technique which is influenced by the mathematics of the Mobius Strip. Sculpting with stone, Keizo produces geometrical forms that consider ideas of space and time, and consequently appear as eternal and monolithic in their own right. Ushio will join a small group of invited artists with all other exhibitors being selected through the open expression of interest process. ArtsCape’s curatorial approach will be to ensure the right mix of artists, have a strong local contingent but also enable those artists to exhibit alongside important national and international artists.

There was a great turnout at Retrospect Galleries on Friday night for the opening of The Inbetween, a new exhibition featuring intricate works on wood by artists Luke Taaffe and Mia Taninaka, pictured. You can see their show until March 1. Photo Jeff Dawson

some of it seems due to more accurate data-gathering rather than real improvement.

nd the most extraordinary news of the week came out of the Federal Court, where the Australian Wheat Board is being sued by a number of its shareholders for failing to disclose the payments it made during what became known as the ‘wheat for weapons affair’. For months before the Royal Commission conducted by Terence Cole, AWB officials insisted that they had no idea the money they were paying to a Jordanian trucking company was in fact going straight to Iraq, in contravention of United Nations sanctions. But the AWB’s outline of submissions filed in the Federal Court case admits that it knew the fees were to be remitted by Alia to the Iraqi State Company for Water Transport. In spite of the recommendations of the Cole Commission, none of the AWB officials who appeared before it have ever faced prosecution. Now it appears that a few of them should be hauled back before the court to explain why they should not be charged with perjury, if nothing else.

In hindsight, it can be said that Garrett might have reacted more quickly when the cracks started to appear; but the people who were truly negligent and incompetent were greedy bastards who sent young men into the ceiling without taking proper precautions or giving them sufficient training. For Abbott to blame Garrett is sheer opportunism, and in any case, for a member of John Howard’s last government to invoke the Westminster convention and the doctrine of ministerial responsibility at all is the sheerest hypocrisy.

brought the League, the media and the federal government on board, and on Saturday Rudd and several of his ministers were at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast to see Campbell’s Indigenous All Stars win a thriller against the NRL All Stars led by Kangaroo captain Darren Lockyer. Rudd said it was all about indigenous pride, and he was right. But all Australians should be proud that we are at last back on track for true reconciliation. There is a lot to do, but at least there is now genuine goodwill and a measure of empathy on both sides of politics. In this area at least we can report genuine progress.

lion for pre- and post-natal health care may help, but the problems seem go deeper than money. Some Aboriginal leaders think reinstating the Racial Discrimination Act, suspended by John Howard for his Northern Territory intervention, is vital; others argue that the intervention has already been watered down too far. The political debate among indigenous Australians is a good thing in itself, and a sign that they see themselves as part of the wider society. And there are other reasons to hope the despondency of the Howard years is at last starting to lift. The Rugby League at the weekend was an unqualified success. The inspiration came from Preston Campbell, a Kamilaroi man from Tingha who is now the brilliant fullback for the Titans, who had a vision of an indigenous team to showcase the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stars of the game.

Ways to reduce carbon emissions The real problem threatening the survival of our species is the massive loss of biodiversity due to deforestation. The solution is very simple and obvious; more trees, a lot more trees. Simple doesn’t mean without thought, it means uncomplicated and that requires looking at the whole picture. If we only look at part of the picture, then our proposed solutions are just going to be complicated. The focus on carbon emissions doesn’t address the real problem and the very complicated response is one that ‘business as usual’ is happy to take advantage of. When we address the real problem carbon emissions become irrelevant. The billions of trees we need to plant will absorb a lot of CO2 in the 100 years before their absorption levels reduce (but don’t stop) and mature trees store far more carbon. Meanwhile society will become increasingly less dependent on fossil fuels. Alternatives become more of an option with every price rise and fossil fuels are, in any

case, a limited resource. I would love to see discussions on strategies to rapidly tree up our planet and that’s unlikely to come from people who want to stick with the crowd on carbon emissions. When you walk too close to the herd, don’t be surprised if you find yourself stepping in bullshit.

They are already eating money and thanks to them, we will all be given that opportunity soon, too. On my planet we eat food, preferably raw. Also, we breathe air, not sand.

It’s great that so many kids ride their bikes in Mullum. But why do so many parents and Mullumbimby High School allow them to ride without helmets? The police and Byron Council should be promoting helmet use and helping support parents with this, and those local adults who don’t use helmets should consider the message they are sending to our children.

Robin Harrison

Binna Burra ETS? No. Debate rages on about carbon emission reduction, so let’s go back to check on reality, then ask: why don’t our leaders choose our best, and easiest, options? If we wish to reduce emissions, it makes sense to begin with the simplest of matters. An ETS is intended, to quote Malcolm Turnbull, to encourage investment in zero emission electricity generation. Forget it. Just buy electricity on long term contracts. The NSW state government is doing that now, offering seven years at 60 cents per kwh. In reality, the price needed is (are you ready

Oil crunch

Sometimes I think I must belong to another planet. Why does it take a whistle blower to inform the public about the impending oil crunch? The International Energy Agency has been fudging the figures because they didn’t want to panic stock markets. Yeah, right.

for this?) about three cents max. That, as a subsidy, for 20 years, will build all the large scale solar we need, made in Australia. I have written extensively on this issue and will return to it repeatedly. Instead, we pay higher prices and import solar panels from China. Why? We do not need to spend more money. We have increased electricity prices, but that money is going to coal to ‘develop new technology’, ie carbon capture. Now, I would have thought that huge profitable mining companies could afford their own research. Surely the prospect of losing their business should be sufficient ‘incentive to invest’ for them too, right? Folks, it’s a corrupt payment. Just as we subsidise car companies, we subsidise coal companies, and building companies, and they make political donations. This is why Labor, Libs and Nats will continue to avoid reality: without continued subsidy, coal cannot compete in the market, which means, we

are paying for our problem. Mungo was right; the Global Financial Crisis was the moment to ‘roll out the solar parks’. We spent several times more money than was needed to completely replace coal. The jobs generated in manufacturing and construction would have seen us through the crisis, and the debt? To ourselves, and paid through our energy bills, at no more than we pay now! A final note: Large Scale Solar paid off over 20 years, delivering profits to investors, doesn’t stop working after 20 years, or 25 years. It keeps on truckin’. So, as we’ve paid it off, and need no fuel, we get virtually free power. Even Barnaby Joyce should love that. No pollution, cheap energy; what’s not to like? None of this, by the way, means carbon trading is necessarily a bad idea, particularly in agriculture. But corruption of our political system is not good, and it’s what we have now.

more and the Tweed, but then, at the same time the number of mobile vans in our area was reduced from three to one without any community consultation, leaving Byron without a service. This is of great concern to me and is a backward step for the women of Byron Shire. Not only is the mobile van a wonderful reminder to women, it is also easy to access, and these are two of the major keys in increasing the number of women getting checked, awareness and accessibility. Byron Shire has approximately 2,000 women over the age of 45, (2006 census), and that number is growing each year. All of these women have the right to access a free, modern, mammogram at Breast Screen, without a doctor’s referral. Yet fewer women are

being screened at present than is aimed for with the Breast Screen Program. As early detection saves lives and trauma, please find a way to bring back a service to Byron Bay and get those screening rates up instead of disadvantaging us. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and this figure is increasing every year.

Tallowood subdivision (and opponents) under scrutiny ■ It was so interesting last Monday to attend the onsite meeting at Tallowood estate Mullumbimby when Commissioner Hussey listened to objections put forward opposing the development of this muchdelayed subdivision. So many of the protesters are already living on land provided by the same developer a few years back. Now, selfishly, they raise objections to other citizens’ right to enjoy similar privilege. As expected, present were

several of the well known activists seen at every demonstration, while most of the objections read out verged on the laughable, some having no relevance to the subject under discussion. With an inept Shire Council determined to prevent or delay land subdivision, going back some years (the ploy being inadequate sewerage facility), it is no wonder that 25 hopeful/desperate home builders rushed to place deposits on land blocks in theTallowood Estate. I imagine

that the remaining six lots to be provided by the developers will be snapped up very quickly. Of course while the Commissioner will undoubtedly ignore most of the nebulous objections put forward, he might on other grounds (points of law) still deny the go-ahead, at this time. But, hopefully it will happen eventually. Finally, let us be thankful that in our community we still have those few people (call them entrepreneurs if you like) who have the fortitude and pa-

Mullumbimby ■ Déjà vu… So Commissioner Hussey has again been allocated the task of becoming consent authority for another major development in Mullumbimby. He’s already approved Woolworths, despite all the environmental and public health safeguards enshrined in local and state laws. Local councils have a duty of care for ratepayers – does that apply to the Land and Environment Court?

at least 60 % of these incidents happened in Byron Bay itself (population 9,000). In 2008 we had 537 driving offences related to alcohol consumption (rate per 100,000 population is 1,739). This is nicely worded as ‘Exceeding the prescribed content of alcohol limit’ on the NSW Recorded crime statistics. On top of this you could add a range of assaults and domestic violence as well as disorderly conduct and liquor offences, just to name a few, but without theft and other kind of incidents, and you will reach 1,733. The police might be busy after all: more than 2,300 clients in 2008 alone (not including illegal drug incidents or the other 4,800 other driving offences.) Could someone tell me how many of these 2,300 incidents were not related to alcohol consumption? The Prime Minister wants to lift the drinking age to 21 years old and Woolies wants to impose on us yet another bottle shop (more great jobs for the Shire). Logic reigns. I hope that this time the law will help the Council to get it right. Otherwise it might be time to take corporate Australia to court for irresponsible behaviour. Isabelle Delmotte

Bullshit detected Twice over the past 18 months I’ve written about the hypocrisy

<echowebsection=Letters>

Will Mr Hussey make sure Woolworths and/or Eric Freeman are doing the right thing after he approves their developments? At the Tallowood Ridge onsite Land & Environment Court hearing on February 8, in answer to my question regarding the wear and tear and safety issues regarding the speed and volume of traffic on Left Bank Road, Commissioner Hussey informed me that this would be covered in Section 94 Contributions (paid to Council by the developer). However, he failed to mention – and this arose later – that the S94 contributions would only cover the 31 lots in Stage 1 of the development. There is no

Master Plan for the proposed 400 houses, neither is this required by the Department of Planning. Commissioner Hussey suggested we write to the Department to get the law changed if we don’t like it. Meanwhile, DAs with small lot numbers, applied for bit by bit, will no doubt diminish the effective use of the contributions; 31 lots will not require the road upgrade and traffic calming that 400 lots will require. Without full and transparent disclosure of Freeman’s intentions for Tallowood Ridge, how can we expect a fair and transparent process?

of the Reserve Bank in raising interest rates to supposedly guard against inflation when: a) they’ve never said why inflation is a bad thing; and b) they didn’t take into account price increases in property and shares. Glenn Stevens, the Governor of the Reserve Bank, has a very thin upper lip. Just before Christmas, said lip disappeared entirely as he tried to justify an increase in the base interest rate. Body language like that indicates a person embarrassed to have to speak bullshit; he knew that inflation was low, so his ‘reason’ for raising the rate was that the present rates were historically low and couldn’t go on forever – rather lame. Presumably he was under pressure from cash-rich individuals and institutions which simply want a greater return on their lending. The moment the economy showed signs of recovery, The Australian newspaper starting pushing for higher rates. Anyway last week I picked up the Sydney Morning Herald and there it is on page 1 of Wednesday’s edition, about a meeting of world Reserve Bank Governors: ‘Mr Stevens told the Governors he suggested they had a moral duty … to target excessive growth of asset prices…’ The article went on to refer to ‘an agreement between the Governor and the Treasurer which requires the bank to focus on consumer… rather than asset-price inflation’. So there you go, from the horse’s mouth: increases in property and share values are not only a form of inflation, but also a bad thing because they can create the instability of a bust and boom cycle, which the Reserve Bank is now trying to prevent. And the supposedly ‘independent’ Reserve Bank is actually hamstrung by an agreement made with politicians to distort economic analysis! Deary me…. the line between politics and economics is even thinner than yours truly thought! When I ventured my mis-

givings to The Echo, I was acting intuitively; my knowledge of economics is nearly zero. I rarely get vindication of the sort cited, and the neverending fight against mates’ rates sometimes seems a bit like pissing in the wind. But now I can say, that while that thing in the middle of my face is about as attractive as Glenn Stevens’ upper lip, it still seems to be functioning quite well as a bullshit detector eh? Messrs Faulkner, Darney and Bertram take note…..

Incomprehensible I am in total sympathy with Gareth Smith’s effort to try and deliver the water purification kit to Gaza. For the record, I am horrified to think that a similar kit from France has been stopped. Or, in fact, any medical supplies in short. I find it difficult to accept, especially in view of the enormous response Israel made in the present terrible crisis in Haiti, 200 personnel of which 40 were doctors, 20 were nurses and 20 paramedics. In addition they brought with them a field hospital and, of course, medicines. I admit that this Jeckyll and Hyde behaviour is, to me, incomprehensible. There are only two ways into Gaza, Israel or Egypt. Perhaps the Egyptian consulate might be amenable to help. George Franco

Tim spake Thank you belatedly for the enjoyable festive spirit expressed in The Echo, December 15 and 22. Advertisements, articles and features conveyed so much more yuletide enthusiasm than was shown the previous year. The subjects of letters that were chosen for print were more diverse. The December 22 double issue was packed with appetising cheer! Even John Campbell’s reminiscence (p28) had a sweeter tone. The back page continued on page 14

Two main players in the recent kitesurfing incident I agree with the suggestion made by Lois Hunt in last week’s Echo of erecting signs on Main Beach relating to kitesurfing in that area, however proclaiming ‘your child’s life is in danger’ is an overreaction to an issue that does need attention. An attempt has been made to bring more order to kiting in the Bay (see NSWKBA website for details), however implementing such guidelines appear to be beyond the resources of Council. As the kiter being accused by Lois in her letter I must stand to my defence. Many a time I have witnessed inexperienced

■

kiters in the Bay posing a danger to themselves and others. I more than anyone think tighter regulation of kiting in Byron should be put in place. The NSWKBA, of which I am a member, states in regard to kiting in the Bay that advanced kiters are only to use this area and must have public liability insurance and compulsory IKO membership of which NSWKBA members possess (www.nswkba.com.au/ locations/north). Also stated on this page is the NSW Maritime safety guidelines of keeping at least 30m distance off from other people. I was adhering to

that guideline bar for the odd occasion when the accident happened due to a set of unfortunate circumstances all occurring within a matter of seconds. Car accidents do not only happen when drivers are disobeying the road rules. When doing our best to be in the right, things can still go wrong. A drop in the wind coincided with a wave breaking upon my back which pushed me closer to the shore. In short the kite fell from the sky due to a lack of wind (lack of power). A gust of wind as claimed by Lois would have kept the kite high in the sky. The boy was able to remove the one line with as much time as he needed once the safety release had been activated within a few short seconds of the kite hitting the water. I would suggest the injury to the neck may have been caused by a friction burn as the lines went slack on activating the quick release safety mechanism from my harness. This is contrary to Lois’s claim of a ‘powerful cable slashing’. It was a most unfortunate accident, as is every accident. The

money was given in place of an old, inappropriately sized surfboard I’d offered the boy as a token gesture in a spontaneous attempt to show my sincerity for the mishap. I would like to invite Lois and any other members of the community to talk with me about the issue of kite boarding in the Bay. I feel action of some sort needs to be implemented. However the outright banning being called for by some comes from a lack of accepting or understanding the legislation complexities of this issue. Should we be banning surfing too due to its far higher rate of accidents or promoting greater respect and safety for all who have a right to the public amenity of Byron Bay? Greg McDonald

beach, and as we surfed, I was surprised to see how close they were coming into shore – surfing across waves in front of us and circling around in the shallows before heading back out. The wind was uneven and gusty, and during our session I noticed several kites dropping quite low over the beach. After a while this started making me feel uneasy, so we finished our surf and rinsed off in the shallows for a few minutes. As we were walking from the water (knee deep – about ten feet from the shoreline), suddenly a kite sail swept right over our heads and the nylon cords caught my son right in the neck. As my son catapulted into the water with an open cut across his throat, I grabbed the kite lines and looked to my left to see a kitesurfer leaping from his board just a few feet away. Thankfully the kitesurfer (who is one of the more experienced kite surfers in the area) had the awareness to release the safety switch of the kite so that the normal sweeping tension of the rigging was no longer anchored to him and the board when it impacted – therefore leaving my son with an open cut across his throat, but with his head still on. We bolted to the hospital to get my son (who was totally traumatised by the incident) checked out and cleaned up. A week later, he’s OK and back in the water, but I felt compelled

to send this note into the already boiling pot of discussion around surf safety in The Pass area (and beyond), because this is a very serious issue that could easily repeat itself with far greater ramifications if some change is not made. I have spoken to the council about establishing regulations to restrict the proximity of kitesurfers to the beach (earlier this same day I watched kite lines fly just a few feet about several different people who weren’t even in the water). They referred me to the Marine Parks people and we will see what happens there, but in the meantime I feel it’s vital to bring some sense of community focus to the issue. As Byron locals, my family and I have always appreciated the diversity of people and the wide range of (largely outdoor) activities that weave together in the fabric of this place. The risks we take as individuals to enjoy our hobbies and sport is our choice, but when those risks also put the lives and livelihood of others in danger, this is a different issue altogether, and in my opinion, totally unacceptable.

$10,000 in costs for a measly $1700 from me. Yet another $400 in back rates has been ignored because the new LHPA cannot comply with the Act under which these amounts were raised, so payment cannot be enforced. If you have no livestock, then first you must act – do not pay, then complain to MPs and the bureaucratic bullies who run these authorities, and finally defend your rights in court, for then the debt collector cannot come after your property. Just a few thousand rebels fighting this excise which is illegal under the Australian Constitution (section 90) and the Federal Trade Practices Act (section 46) would generate tens of millions of dollars in legal fees for the corrupt NSW government. Now is your chance to lobby the new Premier and DPI Minister (Steve Whan) to abandon these fraudulent levies.

Boo, hiss: internet poll gets under the biologist’s skin Story & photo Mary Gardner

‘Humph, what a result!’ I thought sourly. ‘Physics tied with maths.’ A publicity stunt of an internet poll asked ‘What is the most important science?’ The whole thing was a red herring, enticing me to linger in their website. There was an interactive feature for comments. It was filled with babble about the loftiness of the physical sciences. One posting even went so far as to say that in pondering the physics of astronomy the insignificance of life was so apparent. ‘Bloody time waster,’ I thought, getting back to my research. But I was still fuming. ‘What anti-life snobbery! Why don’t they learn some biology already?’ Sixty years ago, the frustration of biologists with the preeminent status of physics and maths would have been Folklore makes much of the symbolism of a fresh skin. labeled ‘physics envy’.

Richard Dawkins’ emphasis on selfish genes. He insisted that natural selection acted on the organism, that integrated material expression of genes, environment and history.

Old prejudice Publishing right up to his dying days, Mayr wrote a thoughtful paper in 2002. He lived through and added to the excitement of modern biology. But he remembered the old prejudice against it as a ‘real science’. Biology, wrote the old master, has shed vitalism but also gone beyond mechanism too. Physicists may want to break everything into parts and mathematicians may want to plot equations. Biologists do that and more. The study of life also includes the relationships between parts and beyond parts. It involves plotting history, which wildly defies neat equations and predictions. It means taking into account variability, otherwise known as chance. And it tries to understand the very ‘programs’ which instruct the many processes of growth and decay. The phone rings. My neighbours say that they found a 2.2 metre python skin shed on their verandah. Do I want it for

the class I am about to launch with Byron Region Community College? Of course! The skin still holds the colour pattern of the snake. It has clear scales which once covered the reptile’s eyes. Though snakes shed skins as they grow, they also shed them to be rid of ticks and mites. As the skin gets older, layers thicken underneath. Finally the snake throws off both the skin and the debilitating parasites too. Folklore makes much of the symbolism of a fresh skin. The shed skin in my hands is also a symbol – one including phys-

ics, maths and chemistry too. And biology, at work with another of its open ended ‘programs’. These started in deep time and are heading who knows where. Maybe life itself is evolving, transforming more and more of the physical universe into what? We’re lucky to have, along for the ride, a real science like biology.

towards the pounding surf. I’m wearing a white bikini. I have an amazing tan, and I have abs. I drop the board, jump on and paddle out. There’s a ferocious break today, I turn the board and straddle it, bobbing Mandy Nolan alongside my fellow surfers waiting for the perfect wave. It arrives, and I join my 30 or so surfing comrades in paddling into the swell. Only a few of us will be granted entry. The rest will have to pull out. In one fluid motion I’m up. The tri-fin is cutting through, I’m climbing the face and then dropping To Surf or not to Surf??? down, doubling back and then I’m deep in the barrel. I surf It’s only 10am but it’s already the wave to shore. I shake my a scorcher. I’ve just pulled dreadlocks and then paddle up at The Pass. I can’t believe back out for another. there’s a carspace.

Bluesfest Thursdays Bluesfest is launching a Byron-area locals only deal! From now until close of business on Monday – anyone can front up to the Bluesfest office and receive one free Thursday day/night ticket for April 1 when they purchase two additional Thursday day/ night tickets. Bluesfest believes that turning up in person is local commitment enough, so no ID or Byron Bay address is required, but people do need to purchase the tickets in person – not via the phone or the Internet for this particular special deal. Traditionally, the Thursday before the long weekend begins is a wonderful time to experience everything

Bluesfest has to offer that little bit more – as many people coming from interstate and overseas arrive only from the Friday onwards. So while the vibe is a little more spacious and relaxed, you can still catch some amazing headline artists such as Jack Johnson, Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club®, Dr John and The Lower 911, Ozomatli, Galactic featuring Cyril Neville (Neville Brothers) – and many more. General tickets can also be purchased by phoning the Bluesfest office on 6685 8310 or visiting www. bluesfest.com.au

up and now I have a bleeding nose. I don’t surf, not because I don’t want to, but because I’m not a surfer dude. Surfers are subculture. Unfortunately it’s become incredibly popular and now thousands of people who should never have taken off their shirts are now waxing their malibus for a weekend ride. There’s a huge debate about how to make the surf safe. I say, get rid of most of the dickheads who can’t surf and who will never be able to surf, but like the buzz of strapping a board to their car. That frees up space for all our talented grommets and the crusty old hacks. Only those who are called by the ocean should surf. It would make swimming at The Pass a lot safer. I don’t want to be mowed down by a middle-aged man with a board that will always be bigger than his ability. In my opinion there’s

just too many people out there under the delusion that they can surf, or that one day they’ll be able to. It’s hard to hear I know, but forget it. Surfing is for people who can’t speak properly. You know, mumblers who struggle to construct a sentence, but stick ‘em on a bit of fibreglass and they are poetry. Surfing has been marketed like it’s as easy as riding a bike. And it is. If the bike has no wheels, is out of control and being ridden into the path of an oncoming truck. Surfing is dangerous. It’s sexy because it’s dangerous. Stick an accountant on a malibu and you have murdered the mystique. People who surf were born to surf. They don’t need lessons. The sea calls them. It’s their place. Frankly I couldn’t think of anything worse. Oh, I can. Scuba diving. There’s just

no room in the surf for the thousands of puffy fleshed whitey wannabes. They should just put their helmets on and go back to playing World of Warcraft in their undies. If they want pickies carving up the waves for their Facebook, then they should just photoshop their head onto Kelly Slater’s body. If they want to make heaps of money and pull chicks, then take up golf. You can put P plates on ‘em, and make ‘em wear helmets, but basically you’re just protecting them from the out of control idiots like me who will never ever be able to control a board or be at one with the ocean. Surfing is not my place. Put me in a library and watch out! I can’t read a wave, but man, I can read a book! My alternative practice for surf safety would be to put mums on the beach. They could enforce the ‘only one

person on the trampoline at a time’ rule on the ocean. ‘One person on a wave at a time. You’ve had your turn, now bugger off home fatty!’ So many people surf now, it’s kind of lost its edge. It’s as common as handball. Surfing needs an edge. It’s like the tattooing thing. Used to be only tattoo type people get tattoos. Now my fricking mother has one. Tattoos used to mean something – like you were a slut or had been to jail. But now all it means is that you got a tattoo. All those people in jail must be sitting there not knowing how to define themselves as a subculture anymore. To all those out there clogging up the arteries of our best waves, my advice is buy a surf mat and ride the foam. Or better still, avoid the sun and don’t wee in your wetsuit when you can Wii in your loungeroom!

The Voice of the Dresden Dolls @ A&I The last time Amanda Palmer toured Australia with her boundary-pushing cabaret show she left fans and critics raving. A musician, artist, writer and political activist all rolled into one, Amanda is a favourite with Aussie audiences. Anyone who’s ever seen or heard Amanda Palmer – whether raising eyebrows

and attracting onlookers as The Eight Foot Bride living statue in Cambridge’s Harvard Square, delivering dramatically direct, wildly theatrical performances as one half of the cabaret-punk duo The Dresden Dolls, or, most recently, as a solo artist whose uncompromising vision has frequently made her a flashpoint for both admiration and controversy – will attest to the fact that being a musician and rock star is not merely a job, and never has been. Amanda Palmer is her art, and her art is an extension of who she is, and is always becoming: a voracious seeker of creative catharsis and emotional

release, a bold participant in games of truth or dare on a life-sized stage, and, above all, an utterly un-categorise-able work-in-progress. Monday March 8 at 8pm at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Tickets are available from: Barebones Bangalow, Mullum Books, All Music & Vision Stores (Byron, Ballina, Lismore) and www. kupromotions.oztix.com.au

Songs for the Soul Fresh from a very successful tour to Yamba, Bellingen and to the Never Never regions, Cheynne Murphy joins Mark Heazlett and Guy Anderton for a Sunday evening

performance at The Rails on Sunday at 6pm. The eclectic trio have been developing a strong musical connection at many of the local markets featuring acoustic and electric guitar, harmonies and a multifaceted percussion ensemble. Mark and Cheynne are both Dolphin Award winners taking out the alternative country award for 2009, while Guy is an international drummer and percussionist who has performed with the likes of Bonny Rait and Lionel Richie and even the BBC band. All three played at the Bluesfest last year and are currently in preproduction for an album due for release later in the year.

Director Wendy Champagne’s film on the perils and triumphs resulting from the chilling world of child trafficking should get festival goers off to a thought-provoking start to the season of film in Byron Bay. Chosen as the opening night feature for the 2010 festival, Bas! Beyond the Red Light celebrates its English world premiere. Unorthodox, uplifting and unforgettable, the film paints a bold portrait of victims, perpetrators and rescuers. It reveals a world of contrasts: from remote Himalayan villages to the glare of Mumbai’s red light district… from the sad and desperate reality of child exploitation, to a place where the resilience of youth can transform the worst of all possible experiences into a celebration. Tickets to the opening night session include admission to the celebration upstairs in the newly created Cooper’s Verandah Bar upstairs at the Byron Bay Community Centre. ‘Black and White’ is the theme to give a classic feel – designed to bring the 100 years of Cinema in Byron Bay to life. Everyone is encouraged to dress to the theme. The Cooper’s Verandah

It’s that funny time of year again. Now in its fourth year, The Big Joke Comedy Festival hits the Bangalow A&I Hall from March 18-21. The festival kicks off – MC’d by the simply gorgeous Vanessa Wagner. Thursday night’s Degustation of Comedy begins with a bang as the House of Dance strut their stuff, followed by The Axis of Awesome – reputed to be Australia’s most tolerated musical comedy trio – a somewhat coy description of this hilarious act described by chortle.co.uk as ‘a superbeast of high energy, high impact comedy’. The festival lineup includes some of the best comedians in Australia, Jeff Green – who has been described as the funniest standup in Britain, but who now lives here, Tom Gleeson, Peter Berner, Jackie Loeb, Chris Radburn and many of your favourite local comedians. Visit The Big Joke at www. thebigjoke.com.au for more details. Tickets purchased before February 20, get an early bird discount. This year you can book online and print out your own tickets or as with previous years purchase through Jetset Travel in Byron Bay on 6685 6262.

Funny Kids There are still a few spots up for grabs for joke cracking kids who want to learn standup comedy. The workshop is about learning to celebrate who you are. Kids are taught through performance and improvisation in a group setting, then later get a 1 on 1 session with Mandy. Workshops are February 27 – 28 and March 13 –14 from 2pm – 4pm at the Drama Studio at Mullumbimby High.

‘What’s love got to do with it?’ In the wake of Valentines Day, we may pause to ponder the place of love in our lives and in the world. Many of us have had profound experiences of love, and its often unwelcome cousins – jealousy and hatred – that have moved and shaped us. And still, love continues to challenge and inspire us. How do we move beyond the stereotypes of love thrust at us by the populist media to a truer expression of love? Do we need to reinvent our notions about love for the 21st century? How can we embrace love in these trying times? Come and explore with us the vagaries of love and watch as the Playback actors bring your stories to life in drama, movement and music.

computer I can write an hour of new jokes people will like. But the problem with that approach is you basically end up writing the same show over and over again. So now I force myself on stage with some ideas, and see what comes out. Take a risk, and get to the truth where the really interesting stuff is. It does mean there is going to be some crap, but you need the tiny bit of grit to make the pearl. I record the whole thing and I then go away and write and structure the bits that excite me. How do you pull out when a gag crashes? I don’t tend to. I tend to keep digging. You’re in a hole? Let’s dig our way out. Often the funniest stuff comes to you when your mind is in sheer panic, it goes into a survival mode and you access areas of your imagination that you could never get to in front of the computer screen at home. “Why do we fall? So we can

learn to pick ourselves back up again.” Pretty good advice huh? Yeah I stole it from Batman Begins. Where do you find inspiration? I have a simple visualisation technique when I am having trouble coming up with new material. I go into a quiet room, turn off the lights, light a scented candle and then I simply imagine… having to get a real job. Then I get back to writing the dick jokes. How important is it to stay on top of political and social issues? The role of the joker has always been to make fun of those in power when they start to take themselves too seriously. It stems from the old days when the court jester was the only person who was allowed to make fun of the King. Show time is 7pm and tix are $18. Ages 15 plus. Tix at the Byron Services Club.

seems to be a struggle that I am seeing with women across all different lifestyle choices. Just this morning I was speaking with a friend of mine and wondering whether I am crazy to even consider that I can be a good parent and a performing musician simultaneously or whether I should just throw the towel in. It is an ongoing conversation!! What inspires you? The journey, the ups, downs and sideways. Human condition, how we love, how we feel, how we move as individuals, in relationships, in community. I am inspired by the subtleties, the unspoken. I am inspired by what is common to us, but connects us. I am inspired by laughter, and I am inspired by grief. What makes you sing? I think it might be the only time that I feel truly relaxed and invigorated all at once. I am completely in my body when I sing. I have to use every part of myself to make it work the way I want to, and I enjoying losing myself in that feeling and being playful with it. I find it intoxicating. Tickets are $18 pre-sale and $22 at the door. www. mullummusic.com or RAW store in Mullumbimby or All Music & Vision Stores in Byron, Ballina & Lismore.

asleep… between school and meals and homework and dancing class and playovers and arrrrgggghhhhhh, it is so late before I get a moment to really consider it. Also there is so much extra to arrange to make any gig happen. If the kids are coming it is one type of challenge, and if I am getting them cared for by extended family, then that is different again. I think there are just more balls to juggle. Why do you think we only ask these questions to female musicians I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I don’t know – I range from feeling angry about it to feeling empowered by my ability to multi-task and switch hats. I think it is a result of stereotypes, but also because biologically we are so different. Women are good at the nuts and berries, lots of colours, lots of things at once, a range of information all being processed simultaneously. Men are good at tracking a beast, singlemindedly for days – doggedly. Focusing on one thing. I don’t want to dumb the whole thing down and say that men and women should stick to their stereotypes because I don’t believe that we should at all… but it makes for interesting conversation, and sometimes very frustrating defaults.

LOVE YOUR MAMA

Mullum Music Festival presents Mama Kin this Saturday on a joint double bill with Tin Pan Orange. The hit of Woodford Festival and a new favourite with critics Mama Kin is a woman to watch. She’s gone from obscurity to underground cult sensation. I shot her through a few questions. You seem to have a great sense of your self and it comes across in your music…do you think having a strong sense of who you are is important when you’re making, playing and marketing music? Yeah I think it helps. But I also think that music is a great medium to arriving at having a stronger sense of yourself, and it is a moving scale, relative only to your own journey. What I thought as strong of myself a year ago is dwarfed by where I am at now. To be less cryptic though… I am definitely more comfortable ‘marketing’ myself as a musician as I grow stronger in the sense of who I am as a person and as a musician. You have two small children, how does that change how you operate as a muso compared to other musicians who don’t? At the moment I am only managing to get to my instrument and my voice late at night when they are

Notting Hill raffishness, the other in East End salt of the earthness – even as Beowulf.) The violence is de rigueur, although Mel’s bare-fisted pulverizing of a defenceless informant’s face might be a tad uncalled for. ‘Don’t hurt anyone unless they deserve it’ he once told his daughter, and it’s the homicidal subjectivity of that qualifier, ‘unless they deserve it’, that will forever keep Mel and his mob in the jungle (and, one fears, at the top of the box office). Predictable and more loathsome than I anticipated. ~ John Campbell

Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief It starts with a mighty shot of Poseidon emerging from the wine dark sea, a giant when contrasted to an adjacent jetty and the fisherman on it, and striding purposefully towards a modern-day city. The prospect of the myths of ancient Greece coming to life was tantalizing, but only a mediocre teenage fantasy flick ensued. The gods of Mount Olympus were a disputatious, randy crew, constantly squabbling among themselves and mating with unsuspecting mortals. Percy, the human son of Poseidon, has been framed as the scoundrel who nicked the lightning bolt from a wrathful Zeus. He joins up with two other demi-gods -– Annabeth, daughter of doe-eyed Athena, looking scrumptious in a body hugging cuirass, and Grover, his black school buddy who

stallion – the equine part of him is not much taller than a Shetland pony – and when he gets into full stride the sight is comical in the extreme. And it makes you wonder, just what exactly did centaurs do with their arms when they were galloping? Pierce obviously hasn’t got a clue, for he leaves his useless appendages flapping in the breeze like plucked chicken wings. I didn’t recognize Uma Thurman as Medusa, so freaked out was I by the snakes writhing around her head, and the fiery Hades might only impress somebody who’s been living in a cave for the last five years and has never been exposed to the advances in CGI. Otherwise it’s all a bit Harry Potter lite (director Chris Columbus has done two of the Hogwarts instalments) and nowhere near as raunchy or rambunctious as Homer – and I don’t mean Simpson. ~ John Campbell

has the legs of a goat. They visit those three iconic US cultural centres – Nashville, Las Vegas and Hollywood – to find the green pearls that will reveal the real thief. In Vegas they are waylaid by nymphs who feed them lotus cakes that have the effect of what one can only assume from hearsay is a mind-altering chemical, for all they want to do is dance. It’s a nice touch, making contemporary the lures employed by sirens and other deceivers to distract foolish men from their objectives, but by then the movie’s promise had collapsed into the farcical thanks to Pierce Brosnan’s appearance as Chiron. Earlier we’d met him as Mr Brunner, a wheelchair-bound teacher, his blanketed immobility meant to hide the fact that when out of mufti he’s a centaur. Poor Pierce. As half-man/half-horse, he is more than a few hands shy of being an intimidating www.dendy.com.au

Mel Gibson is not a big bloke and his lack of height is blatantly used here to establish underdog status. His adversaries in this execrable re-working of a nail-biting TV serial are all measurably taller than him, indicating, in case you don’t get it (and let’s not beat about the bush, Mel’s cop flicks aren’t aimed at an audience comprised of the sharpest tools in the shed), that he is unmistakably the little guy taking on larger, more powerful opponents. In some scenes, with oversized coat and stumpy legs, he looks like a vengeful Toulouse Lautrec (not that a devout Catholic such as Mel would ever visit a bordello). It ain’t the dog in the fight that counts, it’s the fight in the dog and, though getting on in years, Mel is still king of the kids when it comes to meting out rough justice. In this he is Detective Thomas Craven. A single parent of an only child (it’s less complicated for the screenwriters that way), his daughter is gunned down in his doorway. Investigating the murder, he learns that in the course of her work for a highly secretive research and development conglomerate she uncovered some nasty secrets about her boss’s involvement in the nuclear arms business. Post Watergate, hardly anybody in the West believes there is such a thing as a government body that is not corrupt, so we should sign up with Mel as he pursues a righteous path into the highest echelons of officialdom. A crooked senator, bent law enforcement agents and, everybody’s favourite baddie, a ruthless corporate tycoon, played by Danny Huston with his usual impeccable oiliness, are all in on the conspiracy. The other fellow involved is Ray Winstone, who spends most of his time seated to avoid looking down on Mel. He’s a Cockney troubleshooter who’s bound to do the right thing when push comes to shove. (Winstone, like Hugh Grant, is never asked to be anything but a Londoner. One has cornered the market in

TAURUS: You could be called on to administer emotional first aid for someone in distress this week. But when the weekend moon’s in Taurus along with a planetary gathering in the sign of sensuous delights, you owe yourself a pleasure getaway or just some enjoyable do-nothing time. GEMINI: This week’s people are doing lots of your favourite thing: talking, though less your preferred goss swapping than about deep and meaningful issues, fears and feelings. The present star scenario’s certainly a mystery dance, a hocus pocus polka to keep you on your toes…

In years past, the book Modern Chess Openings was considered the chessplayer’s bible. In a single volume, MCO covered virtually all main opening lines, and gave a rudimentary assessment at the end of each variation. First published in 1911, MCO has gone through 15 editions, the latest in 2008, and numerous editors, including Australia’s M E Goldstein. Then in the 1980s MCO began to be superseded by rivals BCO (Batsford Chess Openings) and later NCO (Nunn’s Chess Openings)

CANCER: Sure, magic could happen this week but that would definitely require your cooperation in holding a positive vision and not indulging in dystopian gloom. Whatever, a very delightful weekend’s coming up of the touchy feely, close and cuddly kind you Cancerians love. LEO: If you have your eye on someone or something, this week you’ll have to initiate the first move. And if you can let minor inconsistencies slide, you’ll enjoy the way this richly intuitive week infiltrates your defenses, making it easier to reach agreement where that’s been lacking. VIRGO: Your Virgo personality’s a grounding counterpoint to the viral mind changing and soul waffling of others falling madly in love with the nearest person or cause. But bleeding hearts and TV tears aside, this week’s golden moments are the up close and intimate kind.

strength lies in numbers. CAPRICORN: Emotional manipulation’s at play this week and your challenge is to outfox it without incurring recriminations or fallout – which may require a change of tactics on your part involving more flexibility and spontaneity. If you’re thinking that means less control, you’re not wrong. AQUARIUS: This fertile time provides the ideal climate for a personal growth spurt, so if postponed plans start tugging at your attention, follow their prompt. And since this week’s also very receptive to your original style and innovative take, don’t be backward about coming forward. PISCES: Would you like the good news first? Nah, let’s start with the brilliant news, which is an abundance of planets in Pisces showering you with beauty, bounty, booty and a major confidence boost.

Here, Roddy (voiced by Hugh Jackman) hangs on for dear life in a troubled underworld. 3.

The Noosa Food and Wine Festival is regarded as one of the best of its kind in the country, attracting as it does the luminaries of Australia’s restaurant industry. This year is no exception. Running from April 30 through to May 2, the seventh annual festival will be presenting lots of new features this year, including a nod of respect to the influences of both French and Italian cultures on Australian cuisine. There will be lifestyle lunches, food trails, live entertainment, guest chefs at various Noosa restaurants, a Queensland Cheese exhibition and special wine tastings.

BYRON BAY

My ancient recipe books are fascinating for many reasons, not least the ingredients required for the dishes. Lard, butter or – perish the thought, margarine – were often the preferred mediums in which to cook meat, chicken and fish; occasionally there is the daring suggestion of oil, and even more rarely vegetable oil. One recipe for ‘Chili’ instructs you to ‘in a large saucepan brown minced steak, onion and capsicum’ without actually mentioning any type of browning-fat at all. Dry-frying, one can only assume. How far, gratifyingly, we have come. Most of us will use some type of oil when we cook, be it Mediterranean or Asian food; butter, having been pounced on as a ‘bad fat’, and possessing characteristics which cause it to burn at high temperatures, is much less commonly used. These choice-rich days the preferred oils for cooking are olive oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, flax seed oil, corn oil, soy oil and canola (the US marketing name for rapeseed, a member of the turnip family.) Add to this list avocado, mustard and cottonseed – the latter a flavourless favourite among many chefs. These are all refined oils, unlike unrefined ones which are often referred to as salad oils, which should only ever be used lightly for cooking but be otherwise employed in marinades or salad dressings. Extra virgin olive oil is a perfect example. Your choice of cooking oil may be personal, typifying your style of cuisine. I have a range of oils in my larder but it is olive oil I mostly use, tending to purchase it in 4-litre tins. (I love what Waverley Root says about olive oil in ‘Food’. In reference to the olive he remarks that ‘Its oil is not merely one member of a family of indifferently interchangeable vegetable fats, but is almost unique among them in possessing a decided character irreplaceable by others. The function of most oils is mechanical rather than gastronomic. They moisten salads to make them easier to swallow or they provide a cooking fat to keep foods from sticking to the pan, but they do not alter dishes by adding flavours of their own. Olive oil, on the contrary, contributes

both flavour and nutrition to any dish anointed by it or cooked in it, and becomes a full-fledged ingredient on its own.’) But I also have avocado, a novelty oil really although its very faint nuttiness renders it agreeable in salads; vegetable and sesame oils for the rare times I will cook Asian; macadamia nut oil bequeathed by my sister who purchases it from Mid North Coast market stalls. There is almond oil too which I used once in a Middle Eastern recipe; walnut oil for an expensive entree I will probably never repeat. According to Anthony Michaels from North Coast Cooking Oils, people tend to have bad things to say about all oils, with the exception of sunflower and extra virgin olive oil. ‘They’re the only ones that escape criticism’, he tells me when I go out to visit him at the Byron Arts & Industry Park. ‘I remember’, he says, ‘when canola oil was used to grease tractors!’ Anthony is a man who knows a lot about cooking oils. For the last seven years he has been collecting used ones from restaurants, takeaway outlets and pubs then sending them away to be converted to biodiesel (on which, incidentally, all his business vehicles run). He gives these places ‘a really good price on their new oil and in return they can offload their used cooking oils.’ He and wife Kary supply Australian canola, cottonseed, sunflower and other oils south to Evans Head, north to the Gold Coast and west to Casino. He tells me that they are now ‘moving into olives’, having sourced a supplier in South Australia. (I try one and it is lovely.) The great thing is that Anthony will accept used cooking oils from private individuals as well as from large operations. Most people now know not to pour down the sink old oil but remain at a loss as to how to dispose of it. Just put it in a container and bring it to Anthony at 4/7 Brigantine Street, Byron Bay. You might want to pick yourself up a tin of glorious Minos Extra Virgin Olive Oil while you’re at it – ‘Crete’s finest’. Anthony Michaels can be contacted on 6680 8827 or 0415 718 876.

Apfelstrudel wedged between dreams Shred Potomac

A dog and a delicatessen in the same dream. Who would have thought? I was walking along a road and by the side a group of children were playing in a dirt depression. Among them was a small dog I knew. He recognised me and ran up to say hello. ‘Hi,’ I said, putting down my suitcase. ‘Do you know where the schugel is I’m supposed to be going to?’ he asked. As is the way with dreams, and sometimes it is so in waking life, I understood he meant ‘school’. Somehow he had mixed up the German word for school, ‘schule’, and ‘strudel’. Playing with those kids might have got him excited and confused. ‘Sure,’ I said, pointing back the way I had come. ‘It’s right next to the deli run by that guy, oh I’ve forgotten his name, you know the one who’s nice to you‌’ ‘He wasn’t so nice the other day. In fact we had an argument.’ Nevertheless the dog ran off in that direction, obviously keen to get to school for whatever reason. I thought for a moment I should accompany him – after all, he was only a little dog – but I had a long way to go to get to the end of the dream. At least I wasn’t stuck in a house with an endless series of rooms. Sometimes I wonder what sort

of establishment a schugel would be. There is no such word in German. There is, however, the J R Schugel Trucking Company, which is a pretty big affair in Minnesota. Strudel I’m more familiar with, as I’ve taken a lot of it with coffee. The word comes from Middle High German and means ‘whirlpool’, though I’m not sure how that is associated with the pastry made popular in the Habsburg Empire in the 18th century. The pastry varies from filo to puff depending on the country – depending also on how much the baker wanted to fiddle with flour, I would reckon. Most Australians would be familiar with apple strudel, but there’s also cherry, and savoury types like pumpkin, cabbage and sauerkraut. You can’t go past cheese, either, and a nice cheese strudel recipe will include vanilla sugar, candied orange peel, and quark, which is kind of like ricotta. Mentioning ricotta makes me think of blintzes, which is another story altogether.

I used to take coffee and apple strudel at the small cafĂŠ run by the Japanese baker, Steve Murakami, in Fletcher Street. I’d read, or listen to the jazz Steve would put on his little Bose system – sometimes Miles Davis, sometimes Ornette Coleman. Steve, by the way, is not related to the novelist. Coffee and pastry – girthwidening catalysts for the sedentary worker. But who can resist? Are you going to listen to jazz with a celery stick and a glass of water? While I was dreaming the other night, I checked in with the dog on what he was studying at the schugel. (He was right, it was called a schugel.) It turned out he was enrolled in a course of economics. ‘Why would you bother?’ I asked. ‘A dog’s got to get ahead in life,’ he replied. Who am I to argue?

hat do a lawyer, a massage therapist, an electrician, a home-schooling mum, a retired accountant, successful business owners, a Gold Coast meter maid, school kids, a paramedic, stayat-home mums, a builder, a professor and a nurse have in common? This diverse group of people all live in The Ecovillage at Currumbin. They come from all walks of life and cultures; from different age groups and backgrounds. One thing they all agree on is that life in The Ecovillage is definitely worth sharing. ‘We live here and we love it,’ says resident Fay, so we want to share our experiences, many and varied as they are, with people who want to hear good news stories.’ These Ecovillage residents have formed a group to invite the general public on a walking tour of the pristine final precinct of The Ecovillage called ‘The Highlands’. On the walk, they’ll share some of their environmental living experiences and offer a morning tea made mostly from produce from their own gardens. ‘The range of good news is great,’ adds Fay. ‘I haven’t had a power bill and am in credit with my energy supplier by $150. That’s surely good news with the cost of power rising more and more.’

Residents also feel that they are contributing in a positive way to solve the problem of global climate change by living at The Ecovillage. ‘We are completely water selfsufficient,’ says Anthony Goodwin,

who owns a home in the village with his wife Denise. ‘We have amazing recreation facilities to play in, close to home. We make our own power from the sun and yet we’re not living like hippies.’

Building approvals moving in right direction The Housing Industry Association said last week that building approvals grew by 2.2 per cent in December 2009. The December quarter was a remarkable 34.9 per cent stronger than a year earlier in a positive sign that the new home building recovery is well underway. HIA Senior Economist Ben Phillips said that growth in building approvals was led by continued strength in private sector detached housing which grew by a seasonally adjusted 3.1 per cent. Private sector ‘Other dwelling’ approvals continued to claw back ground following a disastrous 2008/09, growing by 9.1 per cent. ‘The recovery in building approvals now appears broad-based with all states and territories recording solid gains over the last quarter of 2009. The strong growth over the last quarter in New South Wales and Queensland, the two recent laggards, is most pleasing,’ said Mr Phillips. ‘The strong result in approvals is no doubt driven by the combined impacts of the federal government’s social housing stimulus, low interest rates

through 2009, and the last wave of the first home buyer boost approvals filtering through.’ The strength of the final quarter masks the reality that 2009 was a very weak year for the housing industry. Over the entire year, only 144,992 dwellings were approved, down 2.1 per cent over 2008 and well below the 190,000 dwellings required to satisfy Australia’s growing population. Victoria outperformed the rest of the states with strong growth of 17.5 per cent over 2009. Both the territories also performed well. Queensland had a disastrous year, sliding 22.7 per cent to just 28,515 dwelling approvals. The number of seasonally adjusted residential dwelling approvals increased in December by 11.1 per cent in Victoria, 4 per cent in Queensland, 0.1 per cent in South Australia, 1.3 per cent in Western Australia, and 22 per cent in Tasmania. Approvals fell by 12.7 per cent in New South Wales. The trend number of approvals increased by 10.9 per cent in the Northern Territory and by 4.9 per cent in the Australian Capital Territory.

Amanda Quennell, mum to twoyear-old Eva and a nurse, lives in a house that her husband designed. Amanda says, ‘I certainly want to share this and I feel it shows a responsible attitude to assist people with a decision that they may have contemplated but feel confused to make.’ ‘The Highlands area offers remnant rainforest, views of the ocean, small creeks to sit by,’ says Lynne O’Hehir, a resident with a rammed earth home. ‘This is our backyard. We are so lucky. Walks, bird watching, picnics. There’s so much open space and beauty.’ The Ecovillage Highlands Walk is on Sunday February 28 from 9am. The walk will take about half an hour. Wheelchair options are organised. Alternative activities are planned in the case of inclement weather. Register your interest for a spot on the walk with Michelle on 07 5598 7355 or email fay@theecovillage.com.au.

Backlash Picture Byron Bay’s busiest roundabout at Jonson and Lawson Streets at 8.45am on Friday. A vehicle stops at the intersection, the passenger gets out and strolls to the boot where he starts to take out his belongings and guitar. When the driver of the bus full of passengers behind him gives a toot on the horn, this fellow turns and gives the driver a big finger. Gosh, how did we not know the roundabout belonged to him? â– â– â– â–

And that’s not to mention the dropkicks who drive at high speed through the pedestrian crossings on the corner of Burringbar and Dalley in Mullum. Maybe Council should whack in a roundabout before Academy Award nominated documentary director David Bradbury tried his hand at directing someone else gets skittled or drama this week with actors Sandy Gutman (aka Austen Tayshus), son Dylan, Zoe Hutchence and Mandy Nolan.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has been branded ‘incredibly old-fashioned’ for implying that housewives still do all the ironing. And it turns out he only learned to iron recently. According to our editor, ironing itself is ‘incredibly old-fashioned’. No-one in his household irons unless there’s a sudden court appearance in the offing. If you wear cotton clothes, your body heat gradually irons out the wrinkles.

Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said the figures show government was ‘hard at work over the summer period, driving the delivery of job-creating investment in NSW’. What any planning minister of recent years has refused to acknowledge is the environmental impact of all these developments in the grovelling to the great god Economic Growth. Rather than a god, let’s call it a car,
