Fourteen schools in the Byron Shire have banded together to create a stronger bond and educational relationships. The culmination of this was launched last week at the Byron Bay Surf Club when the Lighthouse Valley Learning Community became a reality for the dozens of people who have been working on the project. Mullumbimby High School and its nine partner primary schools in the Brunswick Valley began over a decade ago taking a project approach to Primary and Secondary sharing. Over recent years the Brunswick Valley group has developed into a strong and functional partnership. This was led by the Principals working together on better coordination of transition from primary to high school; professional development in the teaching of literacy and nu-

Mr Graham said that the project was already bearing fruit. The MCs for the launch were the captains from both schools, who worked together for the first time. Ocean Shores Public School principal Chris Hauritz says that his school is a proud member of the The Lighthouse Valley Learning Community. ‘This is an innovative educational community that has been established to provide even greater opportunities for our students with our schools working together and sharing resources and programs,’ he said. ‘Our students will benefit from state of the art teaching and learning resources including fully networked learning spaces and a range of technology-based subjects including digital media.’ Mr Haurits says that the schools develop leadership, build individual character and promote social responsibility and respect for others within safe and caring environments. ‘Our student transition programs ensure a successful entry into primary and high school.’ Ian says that both he and Byron High Principal Peter King are particularly excited by the notion of extending the partnership to involve the Byron Shire Council and key local industry groups to develop Youth Futures Forums. ‘The aim will be to develop stronger links between local employers and the schools that will enhance employment and training pathways for our public school students in Byron Shire. ‘I know Mayor Barham is also particularly passionate about this aim.’

Artist Ron Curran has facilitated Dynamic Drawing classes to thousands of people in Byron Shire for the past ten years and has just returned from a successful two year stint in Melbourne. ‘We set up at the popular

Brunswick Street Gallery in the heart of Fitzroy, the art hub of Melbourne,’ he told The Echo. ‘Dynamic Drawing was received enthusiastically and soon established a large grass roots base of drawers which

<echowebsection=Local News>

soon grew to three full classes a week. Before long the classes, groups and workshops developed the largest base of drawers of anywhere in Melbourne.’ A group exhibition was also held at the gallery, according to Ron, representing works by

over 60 artists from both Melbourne and Byron Bay, with over 200 works hung. While Melbourne has a fantastic arts community and gave Dynamic Drawing a great profile, Ron says it’s the north coast and its unique and vibrant community that has called him back home. ‘I want bring that wave of energy and inspiration from Melbourne back on board into the classes here.’ Dynamic Drawing classes have now reopened again with drawing sessions at the Mullumbimby Drill Hall Theatre, Dalley St on Wednesdays and at the Byron Bay Scout Hall, Tennyson Street on Fridays. Both classes are from 9.30am to 12noon. Drawing sessions are fully facilitated and include a model, music and refreshments. Call or email Ron to book on 0421 101 220 or dynamicdrawing@gmail.com.

Rain can’t hamper Bangalow Show’s spirits Eve Jeffery

Photo by Jeff Dawson.

The Bangalow show was a success despite a determined effort by the rain to wash everyone away. Organisers say that even though numbers were down in some of the ring events, this was due more to competitors’ inability to leave their flooded homes than the amount of water on the fields. Punters still had plenty to enjoy with many covered activities and the young and young at heart braved the rain and simply enjoyed being wet. All of the ring events went ahead and competitors battled conditions to produce great entertainment for those who dared and there were dozens of rosettes awaiting those who entered the equine events. Indoors also presented a wonderful display of aviary animals for the bird brained, a particularly unusual red and white Rosella was one of the

stars of the show. Aaron van den Heuvel was very pleased with the indoor activities as he was the winner of two prizes in the poultry. Aaron, who lives in Mullum, is a Bachelor of Agriculture student at Armidale University but made sure he found his way home in time to enter 15 chickens and two water fowl in the event. Aaron has been entering shows in the shire since he was 16 and was pleased to win the Soft Feather Large Male Champions prize with his Ancona cock bird, the same animal was the Reserve Champion overall in the Large Soft Feather division. Highlight of the show were shopping relay the goat and buggy races. Echo drudge Carolyn Sandgren, riding “Echo, Echo, Echo� put on a brave face after and early fall in her heat. The race crew righted the goat and Carolyn managed to climb back on the horse, as it were, and came a respectable second place.

The Ensemble Della Mar (The Ensemble of the Sea) are going on tour this week. ‘The Cape Byron Steiner School ensemble includes 28 children, and they will be playing in schools between Murwillumbah and Bellingen,’ says music teacher Loani McRae. ‘We’ll be performing at Aetomah School, Rainbow Ridge School, Chrysalis School in Bellingen and Casuarina in Coffs Harbour. The Ensemble recently performed at a fundraiser for the Byron Youth Centre and are available for community events, says Loani.

Slow down for wildlife, say locals

BYRONGUIDE

2011

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

On Thursday afternoon a mother and father water hen were proudly showing off their two new chicks at the bottom of Tristran Parade at Mullum Creek. On Friday morning one chick had been run over on Left Bank Road, the mother was forlornly circling the dead juvenile, and was also under threat of being run over. This is the time of year when the shire’s wildlife is on the move. Baby creatures of fur, feathers and scales are arriving in the world, but sadly many become the victim of uncaring drivers who often run animals down without even realising they have done it. A group of Mullum residents are tired of burying the dead and are making a move to reduce the death toll. Project coordinator of Tweed and Byron Sustainable Streets, Nina Bishop says that people involved in Tristran Sustainable Street were keen to do something about the high number of wildlife deaths on Left Bank Road.

Working with council ‘Since contacting Byron Council we’ve been working together monitoring the hot spots,’ says Nina. ‘We are looking at areas where the majority of deaths are occurring, counting the fatalities and identifying which species are being affected.’ Tristran Sustainable Street coordinator Nadia Pietramale says that even though many of the species are killed at dusk and dawn, other species such as swamp hens and ducks move around at anytime during the day. ‘I wanted to contact Shearwater because of the large volume of traffic they have at the

start and close of school hours,’ said Nadia. ‘I was encouraged by the enthusiasm the Class 6 students and their teacher Themis had for our wildlife. ‘With the help of the woodwork teachers, the children made some white crosses as a reminder for people to slow down and be aware that animals are getting killed by people who use this road.’ Nina says that Council has been very supportive. ‘Justin McDowell from the Natural Resources Unit has been researching solutions that have been trialled in other areas. ‘He is helping us develop a multifaceted approach. This will involve monitoring, innovative signs, community engagement, and future assessment of the success of these measures in the trial area.’ Nina hopes that driver will jump on board and support the effort to conserve wildlife. ‘All drivers need to be aware

that we share this road with other animal families 24 hours a day but particularly remember to slow down at dawn and dusk,’ she says. ‘Animals can appear suddenly and slowing down means that you are not only potentially saving an animal’s life but also possibly avoiding an accident. ‘Use your high beams whenever possible. Turn down your dashboard lights to better see the reflection of animals’ eyes in the road ahead. ‘If an animal is dangerously close or blocking your path, dip your headlights to low beam as high beam dazzles them and if there is no other traffic on the road, toot a few times. ‘This will usually get them to move away but be aware they could move in your direction at the last moment. Parents also need to talk to their L and P plate drivers about driving in wildlife areas.’ Q Letters, page 15

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

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.

www.echo.net.au

<echowebsection=Local News>

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.

Men’s group anniversary New Byron Beachside Markets The Northern Rivers Men’s Circle celebrates its second anniversary November 24. ‘The Northern Rivers Men’s Circle started two years ago,’ says organiser Adrian, ‘at the request of a few men who were looking for a men’s group that would support, encourage and positively challenge them to grow and be more present and authentic in their lives.’ Adrian says every week for the past two years a group of men have met in Bangalow to explore, discover, discuss and transform their lives. Over thirty men have at-

Adrian says he creates a safe space for men to share their inner feelings and life stories with each other. ‘The essence of the work is about guiding, encouraging and allowing men to take control of their own lives,’ says Adrian, ‘So it does not matter if you are working or unemployed, you are welcome.’ The NRMC Celebration on Wednesday November 24 at 7.30pm at the Bangalow RSL Hall on Station Street.

The neverending hard war on soft drugs able belief that an offence has been committed.’

Story & photo Hans Lovejoy

Tweed-Byron police say they have beefed up numbers in preparation for the Schoolies turnout. I had no idea that Schoolies were possible dealers and/or users of large volumes of weed and MDMA. These wealthy white young people from leafy city suburbs had me completely fooled. Now that they are on the streets of Byron, they pose an immediate threat to our security and must be frisked, down to every last nubile 17 year old. Is that right, officer? While driving through last Sunday on Jonson Street at around 5pm I witnessed at least 10 special uniformed police force members with two dogs. One group of around eight outside Lord Byron Resort and a smaller group with a dog sniffing its way through the oncoming crowd near the bottle shop at the Byron Bay Plaza.

Acting illegally It was an unnecessary and ugly display of police presence in the town, however more importantly, the police could be acting illegally. According to The NSW Council Of Civil Liberties (www.nswccl.org.au), ‘The Police Powers (Drug Detection Dogs) Act allows police to use sniffer dogs to perform searches without a warrant on people at pubs, entertainment events and on public transport.’ But the streets of Byron Bay are not these places. Did the police have a warrant to search the citizens and

visitors of Byron? According to LAC Lawyers (www.laclawyers.com.au), ‘The police have no power at common law to search someone prior to arrest. If you are arrested, the police can and will search you and ask you to empty your pockets and go through your clothing. Most minor drug offences are not situations where arrest would normally be appropriate.’

Unchallenged loophole It’s a loophole that seems to go unchallenged and is a completely useless piece of legislation. Minor drug offences attacked with a blockbuster budget.

Helicopters, dogs and vehicles are now invading our landscape and will do so until the police regard their lawful obligations fulfilled. LAC Lawyers go on to say: ‘To what extent can the police rely on an agitated Labrador trained in drug detection to justify a search? The matter was considered by the Supreme Court of NSW in 2004 in the Darby case. ‘The Supreme Court cast doubt on the legitimacy of the use of police dogs to routinely justify searches. The court also pointed out that having an agitated Labrador jump all over you could constitute an assault and an illegal search. The court nevertheless did not state that drug dogs cannot assist a police officer in forming a reason-

Random sniffer dog searches can present a huge negative impact on community and public perception also. Police, and all emergency services, are vital and well respected professions, and the goodwill between us and our guardians can quickly evaporate through laws that are clearly intended to intimidate. This law is an opportunity for an appalling abuse and misuse of power. Drug use will always occur no matter what the policing regime, as proved by prohibition from the US governement in the 1920s. It’s only education and ceremony that will save us from drugs. Know the risks, and be mindful that drugs take a much different role in other societies and cultures. American and South American Indians understand the powers and the enlightening properties they offer, and have used them for thousands of years. The late comedian/philosopher Bill Hicks said, ‘If you don’t think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CDs and burn them. ‘Cause you know what? The musicians that made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years? ‘Real fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fuckin’ high they let Ringo sing a few songs.’

Mullum festival tree planting initiative kicks off The Mullum Music Festival is partnering up with like minded organisations to buy and plant trees at the Mullum Community Garden’s Organic Bush Regeneration Project. ‘Now in our third year the festival is increasingly looking to act as responsible environmental contributors,’ said Festival Director Glenn Wright.

‘By using existing buildings the festival has a smaller footprint than most outdoor events. The festival encourages bike riding at the festival as transport, bringing your own drink bottles, with free refills at venues, and even bringing a packed lunch.’ Wright says he has taken inspiration from Woodford Folk

Festival. ‘They have an amazing tree planting and environmental initiative, and I think they set the standard.’ The Buy a Tree For Mullum initiative at the festival will result in an annual tree planting day in Mullumbimby. The festival will buy the first 100 seedlings, and the planting will be organised by Dave Raw-

lins of Brunswick Valley Landcare with support from Mullum Community Gardens. ‘Byron Council has kindly offered to water and care for seedlings once planted,’ says Wright. ‘Festival goers will be able to buy a tree at the event and will also have the opportunity to volunteer for the tree planting day planned for February.’

Sharp response to our rubbish Thirty minutes was all it took for Paul Sharp, founder of the Sydney-based Two Hands Project, to pick up over 40 cigarette butts, a significant mound of plastic take-away rubbish and beverage containers from Main Beach, Byron Bay. Despite being on holidays, Paul could not help himself. After strolling along Main Beach and seeing copious amounts of plastic rubbish lying around the rocks, sand and in the surf, he decided to grab a Two Hands sign from his car and start collecting. What he found were numerous ice cream containers, plastic bottles, takeaway containers and utensils that had been tossed onto the rocks next to Main Beach where people would sit, eat their take away meal and/or have a ciggie and take in the view. ‘What was most surprising about the rubbish we found here in Byron Bay was that we can source it to local suppliers such as ice cream bars and take-away restaurants,’ Paul said. ‘Often, when we do our 30 minutes on beaches we find ocean worn plastics washed up after drifting for months or years as well as fresh litter, but the Byron litter we found was all local, “fresh� plastic and simply left, or tossed, on the beach.’

What Paul found most shocking was that most of the rubbish he collected was left within ten metres of a rubbish or recycling bin. To local Byron Bay businesses, especially the take-away establishments and ice creameries, Paul makes the following simple recommendations: ‘Stop supplying straws altogether; they are unnecessary and we find a lot of them left on the beach and they can end up in our oceans and kill marine life.

‘Stock glass bottles or cans instead of plastic bottles; plastic bottle caps in particular are a huge plastic pollution problem in the ocean. Also plastic is only “downcyclable� rather than truly recyclable like glass or metal. ‘Ice cream shops can use bamboo spoons or cones only, instead of single-use plastic spoons.’ Paul also said, ‘It was encouraging to have people stop and talk on the issue of plastic pollution and feel their support

as well as see their surprise that such a cleanup was needed.’ The general public can do their bit too when on holiday in Byron by using a stainless steel water bottle; bringing your own coffee mug, or take the time to sit and enjoy your coffee in a real cup; keeping cutlery in the car or in your bag; refusing single-use plastics wherever possible.

Burgess returns to Bay Architect John Burgess recently moved back to Byron Bay with his wife artist Jane Couttie, and is looking forward to re-establishing his long term association with the area. John established his architectural practice in Byron Bay in 1990 after moving from Adelaide in 1987. John was responsible for the design of several landmark projects in Byron Bay. These included the resurrection and fit-out of the historic Orient Hotel building and restaurant, now known as The Balcony. John’s desire to broaden his personal and professional horizons led him to move to Sydney in 1995 where he established John Burgess Architects. His first residential project undertaken was featured in the Sydney Morning Herald where the reviewer said his work ‘heralds a new direction for Australian Style’. This house was put on the market a few years later and recorded the highest ever residential property sale value in the suburb of Maroubra. The first commercial fit-out undertaken was for a beachfront restaurant on Campbell Parade, Bondi Beach. Known as 56, the restaurant soon garnered praise for its warm, contemporary interior, with one reviewer commenting ‘sophisticated and stylish, superbly lit space’, and well known food

critic Terry Durack describing it as ‘immaculately modern design‌ the dining room is as inviting as a trim, slim Halvorsen cruiser, with a vaguely 1960s Scandinavian air’. John was responsible for all components of the fit-out right through to the design of all light fittings and his efforts were rewarded with a state lighting award and then the prestigious IES International Lighting Award for commercial interiors. This recognition for his lighting design inspired John to pursue his interest in lighting. He secured several patents and international rights to innovative lighting systems, combined sales of which are now nearing a million units.

Business Bottom Line A monthly column featuring our local shire businesses.

Alice’s Wonderland in Byron

Working hard to run a successful business is not just about the ‘bottom line’; often there’s a lot of thought and effort involved that’s never going to make you rich. This is especially true in our little Byron Shire. Our business people lead the country by daring to try something new, to make a difference or to just follow their dreams. If your business has been nominated for a gong, been showered with accolades, achieved a milestone (or had a millstone placed around its neck) or just done something that you think is really interesting, please let us tell everyone about it!

Eden at Byron This beautiful nursery located on the way from Byron to Suffolk at 140 Bangalow Road has won the Nursery and Garden Industry Awards ‘Best Small Garden Centre in NSW’ in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2011 they have once again been selected as one of three state finalists. The awards process involves two hours of onsite judging, looking at the presentation of the nursery, quality and range of stock and also has a look behind the scenes at staff training, OH & S, etc for the nursery’s seven staff. Owner Maree Curran said, ‘the Awards are a good opportunity for us. Not only do we get to showcase the business, but also a professional in the industry comes to make a close inspection. That gives us a lot of useful guidance about what we can do to improve our business in the future.’

To date, Roger has been awarded over 520 awards and trophies for premium wines he has produced, both in Australia and overseas.

Surf Market supports Jackson’s plight ‘We had made plans for a Surf Market when we got word that local surfer Troy Jackson was in need of a hand for a serious health issue,’ says Rick Bannister from Stone & Wood Brewing company. ‘So in addition to offering local surfboard shapers, surf photographers and other surf related artisans an opportunity to showcase their goods at their brewery, the event will now also attempt to raise some funds for Jackson and his family.’ All profits from a BBQ on the night, plus ticket sales for a huge hamper of goodies to

be raffled off will go directly to Jackson, says Rick. He added the market will feature surf photography by John Milek, art and fashion from local label Tallow and boards from a number of local shapers. ‘All of them take such painstaking pride in the finish of their craft, just as much as any other artist. It’s a good chance to support the local board making market and raise some money for a good cause too.’ The Surf Market will run from 6pm on Friday, November 26. The Brewery is located at 4 Boronia Place, Arts and Industrial Estate. All ages are welcome.

Filmmaker hopes to give back to Byron American director/writer/ producer Rick Stevenson first came to local attention in 2007 when he brought the Australian premiere of his film Expiration Date to the Byron Bay Film Festival. Rick quickly succumbed to the sense of community he encountered during the festival, and described the Byron audience as one of the warmest and friendliest he had ever encountered. Now he’s returning with a project, hoping to ‘give something back’ to the local community in a unique way. For a very long time, Rick has felt that what kids think and feel is really important. So important that in 2001 he created and instigated a program called the 5000 Days Project. Inspired by the BBC series Seven and Up, where 15 Britons were interviewed every seven years starting at age 7, Rick’s project focused on conducting interviews with the same kids every year. He felt this was a much more insightful way of understanding what influenced change in kids, how they changed, and what they felt about these changes. Through this documentary project Rick hopes to shed greater awareness on the challenges and realities kids face as they mature through their adolescent years. The experience of running the project to date

has revealed two important things to Rick: first, the real story takes place between age 10 through 17 when kids decide on the type of individuals they are going to be; and second, asking kids to be introspective at the least introspective period of their lives has tended to yield real benefits in terms of how they deal with their problems. This intimate portrayal of growing up resembles timelapse photography, like watch-

ing a flower bloom.What has emerged is a compelling set of stories that show how life can interrupt dreams and change a child’s narrative. While the project has resisted setting out to prove some preconceived notion about growing up, one realisation has definitely emerged – no matter what a child’s background, experience, family structure, natural gifts or economic status, each child feels terribly alone when faced with the challenges

of growing up. Rick’s hope is that the documentaries emerging from this project will speak to children and let them know they are not alone. Now Rick plans to begin a 5000 Days Australian version of the project in conjunction with the Byron Bay International Film Festival (4th – 13th March 4-13, 2011). The initial plan is to audition 20 students who are recommended by various local area schools in order to select the final eight young people aged 10-12 for the project. What’s the advantage of being selected? According to organisers, ‘Kids have the potential to gain a much better grasp on who they are. To learn how to deal with their issues and the world around them. To learn how to communicate about these things. They also get a video record of themselves growing up! Ultimately their footage may be selected for inclusion in the full length international 5000 Days documentary in the future, based on mutual and written consent of both child and parents.’ You can find out more about Rick Stevenson and read his extensive bio at www.rickstevenson.com or contact him directly at rick@rickstevenson. com.

Women needed to be green activists

CRANE TRUCK FOR HIRE

Story & photo Mary Gardner

Here, in front of me, are the latest graphs about climate change, ocean acidity, loss of wildlife and human impact. They’re all trends marked out to 2050. I’m considering this data for a presentation next week. I suddenly realise that I’m considering a future world when I am, statistically speaking, likely to be dead. Something zings inside of me and I look way beyond the ink marks on the paper. Is this what US biologist and author Rachel Carson felt in 1960? That year she had radical surgery for breast cancer. Two years later, she published Silent Spring, a book in sharp contrast with her previous works about the wonders of the nature. This book documented the destruction of nature due to indiscriminate pesticide use. Carson explained ‘biomagnfication’. This is the process by which a poison such as DDT and mercury moves through food webs. At each step, inside the tissues of animals, the substance gets more concentrated. As a result, birds of prey, such as bald eagles and falcons, lay eggs with shells so thin that they break open as the parents begin to incubate them. Due to the same process, people eating certain fish suffer mercury poisoning and even death.

Facing ridicule In spite of her worsening health, Carson went on tour, speaking to crowds, television audiences and the US Senate. The chemical industries tried to discredit her work using ‘FUD’: fear, uncertainty and doubt about her research. They also ridiculed her personally, labelling her as ‘less than a woman’ as she never married. I wonder about time and work. Was Theo Colborn wondering too? When she was 51, she started her Masters in ecology and followed that with a PhD in zoology. At 69, she co-authored a book called Our Stolen Future. A large part of the book was based on her doctorate. Colborn studied the results of the major clean-up of the Great Lakes and the Everglades. She found that water looked cleaner, as laws against phosphates in detergents put an end to mounds of suds frothing in the waterways. But Colborn identified an invisible toxic burden, made of dissolved pesticides, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and plastics. This cocktail affects the reproductive ability of wildlife. It also affects our own hormone systems. Since 2000, every human tested, including newborns, carries more or less of this toxic burden. Colborn also published a www.echo.net.au

Controversy still rages. The public want action. New laws are debated to limit or ban these substances. Colburn says, ‘In my business, you measure your respect by the enemies you make.’ These days, I read a lot by and about Judith Wright. Was she feeling what I am feeling? She was 50 when she helped found the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland. A few years later, she left Queensland in protest of the policies of Joh Bjelke-Petersen, then premier of Queensland. She was up front with others fighting to prevent oil drilling and mining of the Great Barrier Reef.

Carson’s legacy Carson’s work sparked the modern environmental movement. It also prompted the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency. For many years the EPA set the standards for air and water quality, significantly cutting back agricultural and industrial pollution. Colborn and her team raised public awareness, prompting new research and legislation. In 1975, Wright and her colleagues saw the Great Barrier Reef protected as a National Marine Park. Water. Women.

As the federal election showed, few Labor supporters are prepared to desert the left entirely; the swing to the coalition was just 1.5 per cent, while the Greens gained four per cent. Importantly, Green preferences overwhelmingly favoured Labor, implying that most of the lost votes were simply borrowed. It is reasonable to suppose that many of them will be returned if and when

The Greens are certainly on a roll and deserve congratulations for their performance last August. But this is not, as Winston Churchill might have put it, the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it just might be the end of the beginning. The Greens are definitely on the stage. Now we’ll see if they can perform.

ast week’s OECD report brought great comfort to the government – well, it would, wouldn’t it? It was largely the result of material provided by the Australian Treasury, whose advice the government has generally followed. And the report endorsed the concept of the National Broadband Network, while suggesting there could be some problems with its implementation. The Australian’s hit squad predictably fell on this section like a pack of piranhas and berated the government for trying to have it both ways, for gleefully accepting the good bits of the report and rejecting the criticism. Of course the correct thing to do is to ignore everything except the bits you agree with: oddly enough The Australian failed to notice the OECD’s recommendations to raise the mining tax, raise the dole to the unemployed, and get on with putting a price on carbon and an ETS. And our national daily also rather overlooked the OECD’s unstinting praise of the government’s stimulus policy – including the Building Education Revolution. Funny, that. Or tragic, depending on how you view consistency and ethics in journalism.

by Mungo MacCallum Labor can get its act together, and a new and more appealing leader – a Whitlam, a Hawke, a Keating or even a pre-2010 Rudd – appears on the scene. And of course the deserting Labor voters may end up feeling very frustrated by their new minority status. They are used to voting for a party which can provide the Prime Minister; the best the Greens can hope for in the foreseeable future is to become some kind of junior partner, in the same subservient role as the National Party is to the Liberals. And even to achieve that dubious status they would need to accept a great many compromises to their platform and policies. The principal attraction of the Greens is their ideological purity. But as Gough Whitlam memorably pointed out, the impotent are always pure. Is this a choice many Labor voters will really want to make? The history of third parties in Australia is not a happy one. In the long term, Australians seem generally happy with the

socio-economic base. Barton glared at me and replied: ‘I am its socio-economic base.’ And for a while he was, and the truly charismatic Don Chipp left the Liberals to take over the political leadership and the Democrats seemed destined for bigger things. Then the Greens effectively pushed them aside. The Greens come from a more secure base: the environment movement is a serious player. But it has never been very good at politics, and because it tends to attract zealots it always runs the risk of splitting into factions. Brown can’t last forever and the election of the hardliner Lee Rhiannon could signal trouble ahead. Factionalism was the beginning of the end for the Democrats – the disagreement between Meg Lees and Natasha Stott-Despoja over whether to support the GST led to irrevocable breakdown, and the Democrats were, by and large, a less passionate bunch than the Greens.

Roads are wildlife killing fields Q My neighbours and I at Tristran Parade have been banding together to expand the habitat available to the koalas and wallabies that live in our street. It’s disheartening then to observe the numbers of wildlife splattered or injured on Left Bank Road, adjacent to where we live. Residents are keen to reduce the number of road deaths and you will soon see signs on Left Bank Road highlighting the fact that we live in a wildlife hotspot. To objectively assess the success of this strategy, a database of wildlife deaths on Left Bank Road has been established. If you observe any wildlife killed on Left Bank Road between Tristran Parade and Melalueca Drive please call me on 6684 6212.

Gobsmacked response Mandy Nolan was gobsmacked in response to my article ‘Post Woolworths Maleny: FastForward Mullumbimby’ (Echo, November 9). Well, ditto my response to her response. The article made her see red instead of reason. How she extrapolated ‘thus create a Golden Age of ample parking and cashed up shoppers’ as the overriding theme of the article is beyond me. Mandy interpreted the article to fit in with her personal agenda, which seems to be ‘Don’t talk about Woolworths or you’ll cop a serve’ – a bit like ‘Don’t talk about the war’. Just because John Waterhouse predicted that business would increase in Mullumbimby and the article’s conclusion gave his prediction legs, does not mean that that the

low-faced Whipsnake, three Swamp Hens, two Buff-Banded Rails, one Plover, two Magpies, one Blue Wren and five Bandicoot. And, of course, it hasn’t stopped and it isn’t just happening along this stretch of road. Even on side roads, where we might expect traffic to be travelling more slowly, the toll is similar. We have recorded five wallaby kills this year on Tristran Parade alone. It’s a relatively quiet street where children live and play so we have to ask – what next? If we extrapolate these figures to take into account the full extent of the roads around our towns, it’s easy to see that thousands of creatures are dying unnecessarily in our shire every year. Make no mistake, this is happening everywhere and, along with habitat loss, threats from domestic and feral pets and pesticides, is taking a massive toll on native fauna. Maybe one day soon we’ll notice that Byron is no longer the paradise we came to and wonder where all the animals went. Residents along Left Bank Road – especially those of us article supports extra commerce and a car park for Mullumbimby. It does not. I said that if Mullumbimby mirrored Maleny then it was likely that Mullumbimby would attract extra business and a car park. I did not say this was a good outcome. I took an impartial look at the impact of Woolies on Maleny and did not enter a personal opinion. In defence of the article, in no way does it support Waterhouse’s views, apart from conceding that business might increase. I am anti-Woolworths, and am saddened by the retailer’s looming presence in our town. With the big concrete box almost upon us, I attempted to find out what the damage might be. I don’t particularly like the projected outcome either, but I am glad that it’s not worse. Furthermore, I find Mandy’s comparison of Woolies to cancer highly offensive. Sure, living with Woolworths may be odious but it won’t kill you. And the last thing I want is for anyone to sell their soul for a parking space. Sonia Borenstein

We need drivers (and we include ourselves) to be aware that we share the road with wildlife and with pedestrians, and especially to take extra care at dawn and dusk. We live in Mullum – what is the hurry? If we can all take more care, be a little more aware of what’s outside our vehicles, make fewer car trips by car pooling or getting on a bike, there will be less chance of killing yet another creature.

The victims my neighbours and I have observed in the last two years include wallabies, swamp hens, banded rails, freshwater turtles, plovers, bandicoots, echidnas, carpet and other snakes, ring tail possum, magpies, crows, pheasant coucals, water dragons, blue tongue lizards, countless green frogs and wood ducks. The local native animals, if they could, would be appealing for us wild humans to ‘chill out’, slow down on Left Bank Road. We have left them so little habitat, the weed-infested creek is their home and corridor and they need to cross safely without being squashed by car wheels. We need to make a move from being anthropocentric to ecocentric to preserve what biodiversity we have left. So drivers, remember that you are not the only species that use the road.

How on earth did we acquire the Roundhouse? Unfortunately you cannot google the answer to this question. If you are curious about local history sometimes the only recourse is to spend time in The Echo vaults. David Lovejoy returns to the surface with this sad story of Council incompetence. n our ends are our beginnings. The best site in Ocean Shores was named the Roundhouse after the building that once stood there. Although used as a sales office for the estate, the Roundhouse was originally intended to be a community facility of some sort, possibly an art gallery, and the three acre site was zoned ‘Special Uses – Community Buildings.’ Forty years later the Roundhouse Action Group reports that the most popular use for the site suggested by the public is a ‘multi-purpose cultural facility.’ As well as a full circle, there is irony in the fact that the person most identified with trying to procure the property for community use, former Councillor Jan Mangleson, also benefited from its controversial forced purchase by Council two decades ago. The Ocean Shores development has never been far from controversy. It was financed by the Nugan Hand Bank, a CIA-front, and promoted by Pat Boone, a Christian pop singer. It was subsequently bought by Alan Bond, the Australian entrepreneur who later did a spell in jail, and it

I

was his company, the Ocean Shores Development Corporation, that sold the Roundhouse in 1981 to Mark Cochrane, Jim Mangleson (Jan’s husband) and Annabelle Louise Gallagher for the sum of $275,000. The zoning restriction did not look significant. One reading of its intention was that the site should be transferred to Council when stage three (500 lots) was reached. Even by 1990 the number had only just reached 150, so the three owners would probably never have had to hand over the property; on the other hand, owing to the zoning, they could not develop it.

Missing document But even if the interim zoning could arguably have been interpreted to mean that the land should ultimately revert to the community, that is Council, this was never tested. The only time that the issue came before a judge (later in our story), Council’s lawyers forgot to bring the title document to court. In 1987 a new Shirewide Plan proposed changing the zoning to 5(a) – community use. A

5(a) zoning would mean that the owners would have the right to demand that Council buy the property from them. Councillors were warned of this and instructed the shire clerk (general manager), Barry Pullinger, to get a valuation so that they could see the consequences of the rezoning. He failed to do this, the Shirewide Plan was gazetted in 1988, and four days later the owners presented their demand for compulsory purchase.

Lucky break It was a lucky break for Cochrane, Mangleson and Gallagher (although in light of later events they might dispute that). The confusion that led to the unintended obligation to purchase arose from a combination of circumstances. The shire clerk forgot to get the valuation which would have triggered the alarm, the Council’s planning department was under administration in 1987 with the government-appointed administrator actually signing off on the rezoning, and there was an election that year which meant that most of the councillors were new and oblivious

of the issue. Whatever the reasons, it was an appalling lapse in governance which was to cost ratepayers dearly. But it got worse. Bad judgement by the new Council, allied to poor legal advice, and later poor legal performance (that forgotten document), led to the belief that the purchase obligation could be resisted. This resulted in an action in the Land & Environment Court, which delivered its findings in 1989. The owners’ case was emphatically upheld and the parties ordered to negotiate a purchase price. Council promptly announced an appeal. During this term of Council the president (mayor), Oliver Dunne, resigned and was replaced by Ian Kingston. To his credit, one of Kingston’s first actions was to bring in a mayoral minute to drop the appeal, seek to begin negotiations with the owners and appoint a QC to investigate how the mess had come about. That ought to have been the end of the Roundhouse saga, but in fact it was just getting into its stride. During the court case Council’s barrister, Jeremy Bingham, had made personal attacks on the plaintiffs, saying that they were ‘not innocent property owners’ but ‘opportunists’. They threatened to sue not only the Council but each councillor individually for publicly tabling the barrister’s remarks, and later made a complaint to the Law Society about Mr Bingham’s conduct. Bingham’s defence was that he was only acting under instructions from Council staff. In this atmosphere successful negotiation over the price was unlikely, and indeed no progress was made for months.

16 November 23, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

The valuation was admittedly difficult. The community zoning made the land worth about $750,000, but with medium density residential zoning Council put the value at $1.3m. Cochrane and Mangleson, both real estate agents, saw the property, even with merely medium density, as worth $2.75m. The crunch came in July, 1991, when Council officially dropped its appeal; now the purchase order came into effect and the value of the Roundhouse on that date had to be established and paid. Both sides claimed the other was refusing to sit down and talk, and to complicate matters a Council election was due in September. Then a week before the poll Mark Cochrane published an open letter to Ian Kingston, accusing him of be-

<echowebsection=Letters>

ing personally responsible for the impasse. Kingston, who was standing for re-election as president, saw this as an overtly political attack, as did the editor of The Echo, Nicholas Shand. Now lines were drawn and camps chosen. Voices for sanity and compromise went unheeded. Negotiation, if you can call it that, was conducted by press release. The compensation demands of Messrs Cochrane and Mangleson (Ms Gallagher was a silent partner in the controversy) steadily grew until they reached a dizzying $6 million. Their rationale was that each of the owners should receive $1.1m for their share in the Roundhouse and $900,000 for the financial suffering caused to them by Council’s delay. In response Council reduced their valuation of the site to a derisive $468,000, although they later made higher offers.

Beyond negotiation With negotiation, mediation or indeed any kind of civilised discourse ruled out by both sides of the dispute, the question of compensation inevitably ended up back in court. The owners had trimmed their claim to a total of $2,965,500 and were buoyed by the appearance, just before the hearing, of a draft Local Government report so critical of Council that Mayor Kingston flew to Sydney to seek a temporary injunction against it. In the event the report did not appear to influence the Land and Environment Court, which in April, 1993 awarded the owners $992,080 for their property, and deferred a decision on legal costs. Naturally there was an appeal, and a cross-appeal by Council, and the final outcome was not known until January 1994 when the court awarded the former owners $1,409,565, a figure which included interest and some legal costs. Ian Kingston had always claimed that in a problem not of his making he was acting strictly according to all relevant statutes, and he felt vindicated that the price paid bore some resemblance to market reality. However, the final audit conducted by Thomas Noble & Russell found that in addition to the $1.4 million paid to the former Roundhouse owners, Council expended a further $2.35 million in the futile bid to avoid the legal obligation to purchase. Finding someone to blame was always high on the agenda of both parties. When Jane

Stanley, Council’s planning director, resigned in late 1991 she gave as one of her reasons the fact that ‘Both elected representatives and senior officers are constantly preoccupied with looking for scapegoats for long past corporate mistakes, rather than putting every effort into positive development for the Council and the community.’ Council certainly seemed obsessed with the Roundhouse. There was an early internal report by two members of staff and there was a preliminary enquiry early in 1991 by Peter McClellan, QC, to determine if a full enquiry was warranted. Council decided there wasn’t, and on Ian Kingston’s casting vote also decided not to censure the shire clerk, about whom McClellan was scathing. Remarkably, McClellan was not able to interview the owners, although he commented that they appeared to have had access to confidential papers from Council’s closed committees. Whether it was their access to confidential Council documents or just general suspicion, Cochrane and Mangleson believed that Council had set out to deceive the Minister for Local Government over the case. Sparked by their complaints, the subject of the draft report that circulated before the compensation hearing was the enquiry into the affair headed by Local Government Inspector Mary Brophy. It was finally published in April, 1994.

Blistering report Ms Brophy had already released an earlier report on Byron Shire Council’s planning department, which was also critical, but her Roundhouse conclusions were blistering. Most of the highly paid staff she named for failing to act properly or impartially had already moved on, so Ian Kingston was left to take the blame. He survived a motion of no confidence by using his own casting vote, and eventually he weathered the political storm fanned by Cochrane and Mangleson, who collected and distributed for the media’s convenience every negative mention of the mayor in the report. Thereafter the Roundhouse affair slowly faded away, with occasional flare-ups when some of those mentioned by Brophy took legal steps to try to protect their reputations. Perhaps it is significant that even though Council has owned the property for nearly twenty years, it has still not decided what to do with it. www.echo.net.au

Applying logic to this reasoning, we can assume that this is a) piffle (they could’ve dug up every inch of Station Street in www.echo.net.au

artists and visual artists. Further exposure comes from being included in our promotional material nationally. Splendour is currently giving $150,000 over three years toward ‘Splendid’, an initiative for young and emerging artists. Many of our crew and general festival staff are local young people who come back year after year. Many of them made the move with us this year to Woodford. For years we ran a work experience program for young people dubbed ‘Promoter’s School’. We continue this now but in a less formal manner. Up until this year’s move out of the area we also gave local high school students work experience at Splendour through the CONNECT Work Placement program. In addition, each year undergraduate environmental science students work with Mat Morris on Splendour’s award winning environmental programs. Over the years Splendour has financially contributed to many youth programs and initiatives including YAC, Byron Youth Services, Byron Shire Early Intervention Service, Byron Bay Rural Fire Brigade’s cadetship program, the UNCLE Project, the Byron Beach Bums’ Variety Children’s Charity Bush Bash team, among that time), b) that Waltons are grossly inept and inadequate for the task, or c) a flimsy cover for Woolworths strategy to blockade Station Street for their convenience, keep the pesky locals out and restructure the town’s traffic, thus demonstrating their Bigness. Is Woolworths’ commandeering of Station Street for nine months (instead of the agreed-upon three months from June to September) and use of our infrastructure and community assets lawful? Should unauthorised use of our assets be paid for? Cr Basil Cameron will be addressing this matter at Byron Shire Council meeting on December 2.

others. It has donated many event tickets to preschools and schools for their fundraising. St Finbars Primary and Byron Bay High also benefited from the $11,627 each school received through assisting with carparking in 2008 and 2009. Children aged 11 and under, in the company of a parent, are admitted free to Splendour. Fence-jumping, unfortunately, is rife at all festivals – it is not unique to Splendour. Cr Richardson, we expect more from our Council representatives. Please take the time to become informed before making public comment. Jessica Ducrou

Promoter Splendour in the Grass By the time this letter goes to print, the submission time for the Splendour/Parklands development at North Ocean Shores will be over. The Coalition For Festival Sanity and their supporting organisations have fought long and hard in opposing this development in order to save and protect both our human and ecological communities that will without any doubt suffer major change for the worse if the development were to proceed. We have done everything possible that we could have

done within our means, fighting against a company backed by wealthy and influential people, fighting against the resources of a predatory local booze industry, and all those who place the lure of personal gain above the values of our natural environment and our local communities. Above all we have had to combat media reporting biased by the handing out by the developers of free festival tickets, free travel and free accommodation. The two exceptions to this were our very own Byron Echo and Byron News who stayed the course of balanced reporting and coverage and we thank them for it. As for the commercial TV news outlets, they would be better sticking to what they are good at – interviewing car crash victims. In the end we hope that our community has a bright future that includes enjoying and appreciating our local festivals that work with the community and not against us. A big thanks to all of you who have offered your support and called to thank us. The decision now rests in the hands of the Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, and in our thoughts and prayers.

After just been to Woollies I was appalled that at the front of the store was a special on brightly coloured shot glasses on the first weekend of schoolies. Where is the social responsibilty of this act? Having young kids I am very aware of the effects excess alcohol consumption has on teenagers and am very concerned about the state of late night Byron Bay. I rang the store, spoke to three different people, none being the manager. I just wonder if my concern was Deborah Lilly heard and acted on. The mind Mullumbimby boggles.

Game of Frogger Crossing Burringbar Street on the Station Street end of town resembles a game of Frogger. Once the roundabout is in, it’ll take the game to the next level. That’s unless the council does the sensible thing and put a zebra crossing there. There’s one at Dalley and Stuart, why not there? Perhaps the person who decides these things can explain to my

Then the wreckers moved in. Community assets sold off, poor planning decisions, state government relentlessly overruling the local community, and gradually erosion of what made the town special.

Byron will require massive roadworks, and in essence Byron Bay will become Kingscliff or Ballina. House prices will not fall, the properties will simply be owned by average people. Byron Bay will be an average place. The consequences of this are clear. Retail areas will be expanded, tourism will continue to trend downward, unemployment will rise. The health industry will never return. Overall incomes will decline while population increases. There is nothing in essence wrong with this, from a certain point of view. Many people will be quite happy. Many people consider alcohol, junk food, and home entertainment a viable alternative to community. The kind of people who drug their children. Byron, one may note, is ever more paved. It is in miniature the global problem of excess growth. Growth without maturity. The delusion that the answer is always ‘more’. It is idiocy.

but change shape according to circumstances. In the past I have advocated recreating the curve of the old beach line but slightly out to sea with terraces of rock with a tilt upwards on the seaward lip and filled with rubble between the terraces. It would have to run at least from the concrete ramp to a little north of First Sun. Waves when retreating would dump their load of sand which would accumulate between terraces – this accumulation would be lost during storm scenarios but should rebuild. It would also allow the sandbearing north current to flow again and replenish dunes up to the Belongil. Surely Council could call for ideas from anyone who has any and at least feed these ideas from whoever has any plus the known facts into a computer modelling program for starters. David Gilet

A discussion on the Israel/ Palestine issue is scheduled in the morning with Andy Travis on the Lighthouse Lounge program on Bay FM around 9.30am. Michael Weatherhead will discuss the making of the film on local ABC radio later in the day and a peace circle will be formed at the peace pole next to Byron Bay Surf Club in the afternoon to give members of the community a chance to send a message of hope to the people of Palestine. On Wednesday December 1 Amnesty International president David Forde will be making a presentation in the Southern Cross University Room at the Byron Community Centre at 6pm. The focus of the presentation is on Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza and will include information on other current Amnesty campaigns. The aim of these events is to raise both awareness of the Palestinian issue in our community and to promote support for human rights in that country and elsewhere. One third of the profits from the film night will be donated to Olive Kids, a charitable foundation providing support to Palestinian orphans.

Wilde thinking Were he alive today, I reckon that Oscar Wilde would be delighted to note that a move designed to legally accept same sex relationships is now being debated at the highest levels – that the traditions of thousands of years of marriage practice are about to be enhanced. One might suspect that our Islam brothers may well point to this as another indication of Christian decadence. Still, viewing the annual Mardi Gras in Sydney (as one does) and a general acceptance of same sex relationships nowadays by many in the community, I believe we may be looking at an inevitable happening.

Nevertheless, the greater attractions of male/female relationships will still be pursued, albeit with marriage services performed by celebrants rather than in a church. We’ve come a long way since my military service days when the manuals spelt out the threat of a court martial for any soldier detected in homosexual activity. Actually, I just cannot recall a single soldier who admitted a preference for another male. We all claimed revulsion at the very thought of male/ male relationships, unaware of the possibility that maybe teo per cent were obliged to contain their natural feelings, feelings only better understood in recent times. I can also recall, just a few years back, how we machos (?) were amused by the soccer boys who seemed to hug each other repeatedly on the field. Strange, but now we see hugging (and even kissing) between muscular footballers of all codes as quite acceptable. However, I am unaware if such friendliness extends into the shower rooms. Finally, I do have some concern for those females who may feel the urge for procreation yet faced with a declining number of physical donors for the cause, their only recourse being IVF as a solution, thus being denied the fun of producing babies. Perhaps this opens up opportunities for those who might point to Brigham Young, and Arab Sheikhs, and be permitted by law to embrace a harem of three or four desperate ladies. Pity, at age 91, I might have left my run too late.

Sustainable medicine swayed by power struggles Mary Gardner

Illness or pain compel us into meetings with health care practitioners. Supporting these meetings is a tradition of magic, science, history and philosophy at least 6,000 years old. That tradition is now facing up to the same examination as that of every other aspect of our society: sustainability. What is ‘sustainable medicine’? And what has any of this to do with health anyway? ‘Health’ is defined by the United Nations as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. This working definition was agreed upon in 1946. Ancient Greek, Chinese and Indian traditions also share this definition. So do the traditions of Aborigine and Maori. But missing in the definition is any mention of power, personal, political or ideological. The history of medicine is full of power struggles. For centuries the most powerful idea in Western medicine was the dynamic ‘Four Humours’. A mix of black and yellow bile, phlegm and blood was seen as determining a person’s character and health. Disease was the dangerous variation of these humours from the norm. Islamic culture also held this view. The Medieval Christian culture believed disease was sent by God as a test of character. By contrast, though Islamic culture also held that God sent disease, they also believed that a treatment and cure was also ordained. Finding it was a holy task. The two cultures had periods of both friendship and conflict. The Crusades were a devastating time. But in its wake, the

From herbs to pills, the history of medicine is a tale of conflicting forces and religious prejudices.

books of Islamic physicians such as Al-Razi (known in Europe as Rhazes), Ibn Sina (Avicennia) and Al-Zahravi (Albucasis) became widely known. So did the Islamic institutions of free hospitals and local pharmacies, all tended by licensed doctors and nurses of both sexes. Islamic medicine also used the model of the ‘Four Humours’, which they inherited from the ancient Greeks. They bound physicians by an oath of service similar to the Hippocratic Oath. Their search for treatments led them to develop practical, experimental techniques and clinical practices. Much of this was taken up by the Christians. The Islamic medicines and treatments included using metals and poisons in doses to kill disease but not the patient. This contrasted with European herbalism, which relied on using plant and animal parts. Herbalism was not sanctioned by Christian authorities as was Islamic medicine by Islamic rulers. The licensing of European medical practitioners and codifying of medicines became a power struggle played out over centuries. Qualifications were set by universities and licensing was by groups backed by

both government and church. Herbalists were often tried and executed as witches. One such example is Nicholas Culpepper, a famous herbalist who published a book about inexpensive home remedies for the lay person. The Society of Apothecaries tried to stop him and he was tried for witchcraft. But the English Civil War broke out and he died as a rebel army doctor. This power struggle continues to this day, between ‘mainstream science’ and ‘quackery’. The first is characterised by the

clear view of the ‘Human Body as a Machine’, to be fixed when broken. Clinical trials and testing lead to development of certified drugs dispensed only by licensed practitioners. Using any other methodology for identifying and treating illness is often labelled superstition and scam, conducted by the uncertified, preying on ignorant folk. But in the past 200 years, the ‘mainstream’ used ‘heroic’ practices of purgatives, bloodletting and shock treatment, administered by electric

stingrays. Dying of the treatment was the risk in seeing a doctor. ‘Quacksalber’ was the liquid mercury prescribed as a purge for syphilis. When ‘mainstream’ moved on to injections of arsenic, this was progress indeed. ‘Quacks’ were the licensed doctors of a previous era. Modern medicine is still frantically learning. Antibiotics are now prescribed for syphilis. But this disease, and others like tuberculosis, is showing resistance to widespread use of the drugs. The accepted knowledge

about cholesterol levels and the role of statin drugs to lower them is under investigation as research redefines the causes of heart attacks. The efficacy of hormone treatments for menopause is also controversial. Meanwhile, public sanitation, with its origins in Islamic medicine, is now engineered into modern life around the world. Human waste is treated before disposing of it in waterways. But antibiotics, statins and hormones are not removed. They are starting a cascade of adverse reactions in wildlife, plants microbes and also humans. The sustainability movement in medicine is now calling for assessing the entire life cycle of medicines. It is also emphasising a community approach to preventative practices. It invites dialogue with other modalities. It considers diet and exercise. The latest idea of the human body is of a ‘Person in Context’. The fourth leading cause of death in USA is medical treatment. Is this better or worse than centuries gone by?

SAVE ENERGY AND MONEY AT CHRISTMAS EnergyAustralia’s energy efďŹ ciency expert Paul Myors says there are simple power saving tips householders can adopt to make Christmas less stressful on the hip pocket. Mr Myors said most people were surprised to learn that standard Christmas decorations used very little power. ‘A string of about 400 fairy lights uses less power than a standard light bulb and will only add about $2.50 to your power bill if turned on for ten hours every night for a month. ‘Energy-efďŹ cient decorations with LED globes or ďŹ bre-optic fairy lights are also available to help people save money and spread the Christmas cheer. ‘LED fairy lights use less than half of the energy consumed by standard fairy lights.’ Mr Myors said simple steps like switching appliances off at the wall helped bring costs down during Christmas. ‘Standby power from appliances like televisions and computers can add up to $150 a year to household electricity bills, so turn them off at the wall. ‘If you’re using an old second fridge during Christmas parties, remember

that older fridges can use more than double the power of newer models, so don’t forget to switch it off when you’re ďŹ nished. ‘Christmas shoppers can also save money in the long run by checking the energy efďŹ ciency of electrical appliances. ‘Electrical appliances and computers are popular Christmas presents. The good news is new models of most appliances like sound systems and computers generally use less power than older models. ‘Always check the energy star rating on appliances, which includes an estimate of the annual kilowatt hour (kWh) energy consumption. Multiply this number by 20 cents to get an approximate yearly running cost.’ CHRISTMAS POWER SAVING TIPS: s Consider energy efďŹ cient decorations like LED lights. s If you’re buying electrical appliances as gifts, don’t forget to check the energy star rating. s Turn appliances off at the wall – standby power can add up to $150 a year. s Switch off the second fridge when not needed.

LEAVES IN YOUR GUTTERS? Protect your home from ooding and ďŹ re with Allclear Leafguard.

See the range at Out There Sculpture Garden, 1-5pm Mon to Fri at 48 Acacia St in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate.

The Australian made Allclear Leafguard made from Colorbond steel can save you all the hassles of blocked gutters and cleaning as the wind blows the leaves off the leafguard.

FEMALE TILER BRINGS HER TOUCH OF EXCELLENCE

The product developer Ron Lienert says, ‘I saw a need for an effective leafguard. Its unique design stops leaves laying at and also circulates air to blow the leaves away, eliminating cleaning problems and reducing ďŹ re hazards.’ When the leafguard is in place it cannot be seen from the ground, so it does not ruin the appearance of your roof. Allclear Leafguard is recognised as the superior leafguard on the market. Allclear staff are available to give obligation free advice and quotes by calling the free number 1800 426 607.

Gorgeous pots for inside and outside would be a welcome gift, and there are unkillable plants for those that think they need green thumbs to enjoy the ambience of a living little green friend. Succulents are always a good choice. You could get a pot yourself and pot it up to personalise your gift, to say “I made it especially for you!�

One of the ways home owners can be prepared is by ensuring their gutters are free of leaves and debris that could easily catch ďŹ re or cause ooding.

Plants for the garden are always good, but try and visualise where the recipient might need one so that you choose one that likes sun or shade...and many plants can live in both.

Afghans are one size, making them easy to wear for all shapes and sizes. They are great for the beach, bar, travelling, yoga and also maternity.

E ARIES: This busy week bubbles with all sorts of attractive trouble, some in the form of inflated promises or funny money schemes with exaggerated expectations. Naturally you’ll be enthused, but don’t be fooled – above all don’t fork out any funds till you’ve investigated thoroughly. F TAURUS: If Taurus full moon brewed up a moody stew of personal needs clashing with financial practicalities, pushy friends or colleagues may be wanting you to move faster than you’re up for – but nobody can dig their heels in and do creative resistance better than you. G GEMINI: Others mightn’t appreciate all of your vivid opinions this week, and once uttered they can’t be retracted. Don’t sign anything without adequate research – there’s a likelihood of exaggerations, inaccuracies or faulty information. Do give your private life, if you have time for one, some TLC. H CANCER: As seismic shifts ripple through planet Earth the same goes for those inhabiting it. Cancer cusp comedian Robin Williams knows a thing or two about weapons of self destruction, and this week could disarm some of yours if you’re willing to shake free of a past attachment. I LEO: If your enthusiastic ideas or grand plans get a wet blanket reception this week, don’t go the super sulk because it’s actually not a bad thing. Rethink, do a bit more homework, consider some less extravagant options and others are likely to come around. J V IRGO: This is a week for ditching the rule book, welcoming change, making new plans, breaking old chains, stretching your comfort zone. Being thankful for what you’ve had and grateful for what you have, no matter how imperfect. For appreciating what is, after all, your wonderful life.

Last week’s Tal Memorial tournament in Moscow showed that the iron grip on the top rankings exerted by the generation of Grandmasters who came of age in the 1980s is fading. In tournaments in recent times it has often seemed as if 19-yearold Magnus Carlsen was conducting a lone crusade against the might of the older generation – Anand, Kramnik, Topalov, Shirov, Gelfand, Ivanchuk, etc – who have populated the top ten for the past two decades. However, in Moscow, despite Carlsen taking a break, the younger generation dominated. Three 20-somethings – Levon Aronian, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Sergei Karjakin – tied for first place, while two more – Wang Hao and Hikaru Nakamura – missed out on first by half a point due to last round lapses. In contrast, none of the oldsters in Moscow – Vladimir Kramnik, Alexey Shirov and Boris Gelfand – could beat a 50 per cent score. The Tal Memorial, named

K LIBRA: A good week for sorting economic choices and making new financial plans. If you’re not feeling massively jolly, no need to fake it – just focus on keeping life in general and your thoughts in particular positive, and don’t engage with seasonal dementia’s bad hair days. L SCORPIO: This week’s about boundaries and during the current star scenario plenty of space invaders will be overstepping them. No big thing really in a week of booty, bounty and benevolence, so don’t let social insensitives spoil this week’s abundant fun factor. M S AGITTARIUS: A fast-paced week of changes, interesting strangers and exciting exchanges as the Sun joins Mars and Mercury for Happy Birthday Archers month. A cornucopia of choices present themselves and your reactions are fast, but before you commit take a moment to check in with your heart. N CAPRICORN: Opinions fly like confetti this week: more concept than substance and difficult to pin down. If Capricorn practicalities like viability, sustainability and feasibility make you a scratch pad for catty critics and people keep on talk talk talking, just go ahead and do your own thing… O AQUARIUS: Aquarians relish discussion and debate, and this week brings no shortage of sparring partners. Its cheeky stellar lineup highlights life’s amusing side and presses the button on your wicked sense of humour, though that’s best used to defuse explosive situations rather than fuel them. P P ISCES: As seasonal overload starts affecting the sensitive, start a coping strategy of laughing instead of arguing, not wasting emotional energy on small wars, and setting achievable goals you can work towards a step at a time. Fortunately this week generates plenty of social stress relief.

Television Guide 1. Disturbia (Prime, Friday, 11.05pm) is sometimes described as ‘Rear Window Junior’, harking back to Hitchcock’s great movie. A young perv begins to realise he might have witnessed a murder. 2. The cutest junkyard robot of the lot, Wall-E (Prime, Saturday, 6.30pm), gets a girlfriend after eons alone. Artificial intelligence programmed for romance? 3. Nothing like a good British comedy to mess with your mind. The Armstrong And Miller Show (ABC1, Sunday, 10pm) is just that. And on ABC1 on Saturdays at 9.35pm, you’ll catch some good standup on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow.

MULLUM MUSIC FESTIVAL HAS ARRIVED. THIS BIGGEST LITTLE FESTIVAL GETS PEOPLE ON THE STREETS OF EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE GLOBAL VILLAGE, LISTENING, SINGING, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DANCING. THE ECHO CAUGHT UP WITH A FEW OF THE FESTIVAL’S MOVERS AND SHAKERS. KING TIDE, SALMONELLA DUB AND KOOII ANSWERED SEVEN’S QUESTIONS ABOUT MAKING MUSIC. 1. How has your relentless live gigging caused your More recently we have slowed down a bit but this has resulted in everyone being spread across eight cities music and your band to evolve? which also isn’t that helpful creatively. King Tide: I don’t need cheat sheets to remember the In saying that we have always been a dysfunctional lyrics anymore. crew which I guess adds to the X factor LOL. Kooii: Definitely the idea of where our next gigs are 2. What are the challenges that you face as a band/ going to be and who it’s going to be performed to musician? affects our selection of what kind of music we jam on as a group or on our own. The spaces that we King Tide: Paying the rent and my phone bill. And I play in, the people that are there, the quality of the bet you think I’m joking. sound system, the food you eat when you’re there... Kooii: Getting together funds to do what we want to that all affects the evolution of the music. This kind do. We’re self-managed at the moment and that’s a of choosing of the music to focus on based on what lot of work. Self-promoting or ‘selling yourself’ can be gigs we’ve got coming up is balanced with making challenging but it causes you to face your doubts and of music that feels right for the moment. Ideally they stand up for what you do. We all play in numerous should be the same thing. groups. There are a lot of benefits in developing our Sal Dub: In the past we have got a bit stuck in the music that we get out of this, but it can be challenging mud and haven’t had the time to put into the creative to plan ahead sometimes when we’ve all got so many process which can be a bit frustrating. possible paths to take. We work it out though.

Sal Dub: For me personally managing and playing – it can be hard work playing on stage while thinking about a million and one other things. As a band the challenge has always been to keep our feet on the ground. Music is our passion, not the industry. 3. How important are festivals exposing music to wider audiences and bands to each other? King Tide: Festivals are bigger than the bands. They are about the people that come to them. It’s a solidarity thing. Everyone letting their hair down and waving their freak flags and pretending all over again that it’s the summer of love circa 67. I call it activating one’s Woodstock genome. 4. Is it hard to keep a band moving forward after the thrill and the novelty of the first few years wears off... are musicians always looking for the ‘perfect band’?

As for thrills they come in cycles. It’s inspiring when we play to an audience that loves our music. New songs also. They feed the desire to get together. In between the thrills there are the dull periods when you lack motivation and that feeling of the magic is far away. It’s often someone’s reception of what you’re doing or expression of their gratitude for it that can spur you on, or simply just getting together with your mates to play music. Sometimes in the down times, I remind myself to ride through it, persist, accept where you’re at. 5. Music these days seems to be smashing through genres, borrowing from Middle Eastern, dipping into funk, reggae, etc... Why do you think music has become so multicultural... is this the music of the global village? Sal Dub: Umm yeah it has become a melting pot which can be good but you do need to stay true to your roots... For me it’s about creating your own voice.

Kingtide: Mullum is way cool and groovy. Besides it shits on Ipswich. But the real reason we love the Mullum festival is because Glenn Wright is a colossus, a legend, a little Aussie battler kicking against the pricks and putting out real music in a sea of shit. Kooii: Every town’s character is a influenced by the people who live there. There’s plenty of intriguing people down there. I live in Bris and I like to get down to Northern New South as much as possible. Mullum’s a central point to meet at or pass through. There’s some great local acts playing at the fetival but also so many from far-off like Nano Stern and Kaki King. I like how it uses a whole lot of existing venues within walking distance. It’s using what’s already there. The injection of music and the people into these places must give those spaces a buzz that for a while after. I suppose a festival like this is a flower blooming on the Mullum plant. Good time of year for it too.

Sal Dub: Small towns are great. I live in Kaikoura on the east coast 6. Tell me what you think about a little town like Mullum, why of the south island... Similar in size to Mullum... For me Mullum is so different to the rest of Australia – it’s lush with a real creative you think it’s unique... and why you like performing at the Festival here. streak!

Grab your dancing shoes and head on out to the Mullum Music Festival. Opening night is Thursday at The Civic Hall with Friday, Saturday and Sunday offering huge mixed programs of what can only be called the best in show. Hot picks this year are Jordie Lane, Pieta Brown, Gemma Ray and Flap!

There’s just so much on at Mullum Music Festival this weekend with local musicians also getting a look in alongside international and national profile acts. Watch out for Andrea Soler and her band who are just back from hitting the road and touring songs from her award winning album Earth On An Axis. It’s been an exciting and successful year for Andrea.

Lovers of Folk/alt/rock will make their way to Method. With three critically acclaimed albums to their name, hundreds of gigs under their belt and a career spanning more than 15 years, roots/rock duo Method are back in the saddle with a quick run up the North Coast, culminating at The Mullum Music Festival. Guitarist Bill Jacobi is a popular solo performer in and around the Northern Rivers area, with open tuned and lap slide guitars twisting their way around songs that are both passionate and evocative. He is joined by drummer Frank Corby, who was most recently seen pounding the skins behind legendary blues band The Bondi Cigars. Frank is also a notable songwriter in his own right, adding a rich tapestry of rhythm and texture as well as his dark vocals and lyrical twists to the mix. Together they make music that is an eclectic amalgamation of swamp/ roots, alternative county and hillbilly funk; that somehow manages to look back at a wealth of musical tradition, have a poke around and then turn and run the other way. You can catch them at The Mullum Music Festival on Friday and Sunday and at The Lennox Point Hotel on Saturday. Songwriters and performers from the Scarlett School are set to shine on stage at the Mullum Music Festival on Saturday at 1pm at the Mullum Civic Hall. The Scarlett School, created by sisters Melia and Nerida from multi award winning local two piece Scarlett Affection, has hit a nerve with music lovers who want to learn contemporary music in a fun and inspiring way. Come along to support these young emerging artists and prepare to be amazed by their talent. Scarlett Affection are also appearing at the Festival and will perform with special guests at the Mullum Civic Hall at 6pm on Friday. They support American headline act, folk goddess Pieta Brown.

GIG AT HANGING ROCK Last Saturday Leonard Cohen played Hanging Rock. I couldn’t think of a better place to see the master of misery than in a setting that has haunted Australians ever since Joan Lindsay released her novel almost fifty years ago. When it comes to spilling the beans on ‘what really happened’ re the creative process Lady Lindsay is as evasive as Lord Leonard. I guess one will never know. According to Lindsay, on Valentines Day in 1900, three school girls and their French teacher completely vanished. This became the basis for her novel Picnic at Hanging Rock. Th e writer has claimed in interviews ‘I can’t

tell you whether the story is fact or fiction, but a lot of very strange things have happened around Hanging Rock – things that have no logical explanation.’ I suppose missing schoolgirls were just one of those things. And we can’t blame Dennis Fergusson –he wasn’t even born then! There was something poetic about Picnic at Hanging Rock. The image of a doe-eyed Anne Lambert wandering in a supernatural trance is seared into my internal hard drive. If I saw a girl like that now, I would assume that either she was stoned or she’d been sniffing her liquid paper. But at the turn of last century, that was a bona fide psychic trance. As a teenage girl I remember wishing I was as ethereal as Miranda. That I had those same pouty lips. That I could jump river stones and hear my magical laugh echo through the forest. As a fourteen-year-old I’d be down at the creek in my white cheesecloth sarong and thongs and I’d hear my mother yelling from the kitchen window ‘Ammaanda AMannnda Amaanda’. It was then that I’d wish the ground would open up and the earth would suddenly consume me. I knew that on my back step at my house there was an unemptied chook bucket with my name

It’s all a Conspiracy! Seven caught up wth Jay Katz of the Mu Meson Archives who will be presenting Conspiracy Theory Talks at Mullum Music Festival with his wife, the lovely Miss Death. Jamie, what are the Mu Meson Archives exactly? The Mu Meson Archives is a library of alternative media (film, audio and print) curated and cataloged by my wife and me. We have been collecting for many decades material that remains outside of mainstream culture that we believe deserves a depositary; eg Rare documentaries on 16mm film, tape and digital media. Literature such as limited edition fanzines and self published books plus many other items.

36 November 23, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

How did you start collecting conspiracy theories? Our accumulation of media supporting a conspiratorial or para-political perspective of reality has occurred naturally over the years when one seeks to search for alternative takes on mainstream thinking. Conspiracies date back to the earliest days of human history (Caesar’s death is a fine example) and have always lurked behind the curtain of life. As a child, my grandfather (who was a Digger in the first World War) would tell me stories about war as a fraud and that it was primarily constructed as a profit making device for big business working in tandem with governments. So I would say that I have been collecting this evidence ever since I could think for myself and I am fortunate enough to have a wife that shares the same ideology. What makes something a conspiracy theory rather than just a wacky delusional thought? There are many wacky supposedly delusional ideas in the world of conspiracy theory but that’s not to say they aren’t real. Reality is always stranger and more complex than fiction. When you ask what makes something more acceptable as a valid concept worth researching, it is the accumulation of evidence supporting the theory eventually turning it into a fact and there are many conspiracies that are no longer theories (Watergate, Iran Contra, Weapons of Mass Destruction... etc) Do you need more?

<echowebsection=Entertainment>

on it. If only a large group of ants would carry me away. There was something completely mesmerising about the story of Hanging Rock. Perhaps it was the virginal white lace. The boater hats. The sensuality of bare ankles being splashed in a cool stream on a hot day. The idea of such olde worlde Englishness being eaten alive by the Australian bush. The powerful, overwhelming, ancient story of Australia just opening its giant rock-edged mouth and swallowing up those schoolgirls like they were Belgian truffles. But even Mother Earth was on a low fat diet because she only took the pretty ones. She spat the big one out. The story was spooky because there was no violence. There were no peadophiles. There were no dismembered bodies, no murder weapons, no motives. The girls were just gone. It was more frightening than Silence of the Lambs, or SAW because it was psychological. It was truly disturbing. I still won’t go on picnics with exotic raven-haired French teachers. In a modern telling, the white dresses would have been the canvas for bloodbath. But, in this story, the white dresses remained white. Not a drop of blood discoloured their

purity. It was a reminder that the worst kind of horror can happen in your mind. Picnic at Hanging Rock was all about story, and the horror of not knowing. A bloodstained dress would have been a relief, because it would have told what happened. Picnic at Hanging Rock was a story where nothing really happened. Girls ate sandwiches and went for a walk and a few of them never came back. End of story. It was the quietness that haunted me most. This incredible silence. The kind you get in the Aussie bush punctuated by crickets, the occasional bird and some fat chick in a lace tablecloth with a thick Aussie drawl bleating ‘Mirrranda. Mirrraannnda, Mirrraaannnda!’ It still makes my skin crawl. I wonder whether Leonard heard it. If during a chord change he heard the sad echo of lost girls. Whether he started singing ‘Goodbye Marianne... ‘ and then suddenly for no apparent reason he started saying ‘Mirraaanda Miraandaa’. I wonder whether Leonard felt the urge to strip naked under a full moon, wrap himself in white lace and make his way into the rock. He would have taken Paul Kelly with him. Now that would have been a show.

On that, how many people have been telling the truth, but have then been locked up for being ‘crazy’? How many people telling the truth have been branded crazy, locked up and been killed because of this research. I hesitate to say – way, way too many. These days character assassination seem to do the trick in our media obsessed world (mud sticks). If you just go back to the sixties and the Kennedy assassination many researchers have documented an intriguing number of witnesses that didn’t share the official line and who later died under mysterious circumstances. With The Da Vinci Code and various films there’s a growing belief that conspiracy theories may hold more fact than we think... how many of these theories do you think hide mysterious truths? The Da Vinci Code as a piece of fiction is based on factual research. Its success proves that conspiracy theories make great whodunits and are easier to palate when one considers them a fantasy. The popularity of The DaVinci Code can be seen as a hindrance in conspiratorial research because it yet again blurs the line between fact and fiction. If conspiracies are true, then the human being is a lot more sinister than we at first thought... could greed for cash really be enough to power such massive cover ups and scams? Of course conspiracies are true. The word conspire is cited in at least 90 per cent of legal cases. The jails the world over are full of greedy people conspiring with others to attain more wealth (Enron etc). If we are forced to generalise I assume that most thinking people would be aware of humanity’s sinister side. Historically, corruption and conflict have have dogged us from the beginning. So, what about you Jay... are you a believer? It’s not a question of belief but the accumulation of evidence to support the construction of these theories, utilising the same methodology as science. A theory is postulated and then facts are discovered to support these claims. Some may say we are paranoid, but we ask are we paranoid enough? THE SESSIONS ARE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

The Biggest Little Music Festival in Australia!

Music Festival 2010

This program liftout proudly presented by the

Thursday 25 – Sunday 28 November There’s always a certain anxiety when it comes to approaching a festival program – with so much great music, theatre, films, and conversation you just can’t be in every place at once. So you have to make a few crucial choices. I’ve perused the MMF program at length and made a few executive decisions about who I really want to see. First cab off the rank is Pieta Brown. She’s got that sexy drawl that comes straight out of America’s heartland. She’s the daughter of two preachers’ kids and I’d predict that in a few years from now she’ll be huge. With her talent and her looks, she’ll be as big as Ben Harper. But not yet, so now’s the chance to grab a front seat with this quiet self-styled poetess. I’m curious to hear Harry Angus (of the Cat Empire) without a trumpet and without a band and I certainly wouldn’t miss Dick and Christa Hughes. There’s Dick in his horn g rimmed glasses gla lass s es and respectable an nd respec cta t bl be suit right rig ght nextt to his daughter dau aughter in latex thigh gh

And Vince Jones, I always love seeing Vince. I love his music, but I also love the type of man that he is, and what he stands for. He’s all about love and peace and socialism.

high lace up boots and zip up hot pants. I justt know they’re going to be incredible, and I’ve read the reviews, so I know that you don’t gett a chance to see this sort of thing every day. Mama Kin was the hit of last year’s festival and I was kicking myself for missing her then. I’ve familiarised myself with her music this year and I just love her smouldering soulfulness.

I want to see Nano Stern, because I love his CD and I haven’t seen him live before, and C JJen Cloher and Jordie Lane, because I love tthem so much individually, I really want to see what happens when they play together. se

I’m keen to catch Flap! and find out why most of Woodford was flocking to their gigs last year. They’ve got this very engaging honesty about them and a kind of unselfconsciousness which seems to evaporate when an artist’s profile builds. I love seeing acts when they still don’t realise what they’ve got.

I’m interested to see what happens with Global Rhythm Nation when Greg Sheehan G brings a bunch of rhythm freaks together and b lets the beat bind them...and of course I want le to see Washington because she’s had such a big year. In just 12 months this girl has grown b wings that will see her fly the coop from little w festivals like this, so this is your last chance to fe catch her up close before she plays big big ca big stages. b

Of course I won’t be able to miss Waiting for Guinness. I don’t dance much anymore, but they’re the one band that have managed to get me on the floor. mood gypsy Whilee in the moo od for twisted d gyps sy definitely vaudeville I aam m defin nit itely go going to go go the distance di e with wit w ith h Mojo M Mo jo Juju and a d The an The

The Byron Shire Echo Novemvber 23, 2010 37

This weekend the beautiful town of Mullumbimby opens her arms to the world and invites people to experience The Mullum Music Festival. Over four days, existing venues throughout the town will host over 100 performances, allowing festival-goers to amble from gig to gig through the streets of Mullumbimby and enjoy the music in intimate, comfortable spaces.

As is the nature of an event programmed four months in advance, there are some late time changes and additions to the program. These are provided in this program liftout and can also be found at www.mullummusicfestival.com.

This Friday at the Bangalow A&I Hall artists, performers, comedians, singers and storytellers come together for the second CRACKERS AND JAM, the annual concert which focuses on shining the light on people in the community living with mental health issues. Anna Samsom is the event co-ordinator. She chatted with Seven about just what makes the event tick. Anna, what was the inspiration for Crackers & Jam? Crackers and Jam was inspired by the work I was doing and the people I have come to know at On Track Community Programs in Mullumbimby and Tweed areas. In August of 2008 I began at On Track as Jam Session Leader and felt completely inspired and amazed by the enthusiasm, ability and creativity of the wonderful people I had met. In early October of the same year my group from On Track performed at Mental Health Week which was held in Byron Bay on Clarkes Beach esplanade. The performers and audience enjoyed our performance so much that the seed was planted to start working toward as many other performances as we could.

most people it is such an unknown or something that can make people feel quite uncomfortable. Initially when I began working in the area of mental health, I was a little uncertain of what I would be facing but found that within minutes of meeting the clients/ consumers found that I felt at ease and in fact found the environment to be very uplifting and life-giving. What do you think are the main issues facing people with mental health issues? I think the main issue facing people dealing with mental health issues is the stigma associated with it. Unfortunately a lot of people who are diagnosed with mental health issues find it difficult to integrate back into their communities and as a result of the stigma attached can sometimes find themselves feeling more rejected and excluded. What can then often happen is that they start to experience a loss of self-esteem and as a result begin to lose friends and hence their support network.

Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and your psyche, which is extremely beneficial to people living with mental health issues.

SECRET SOUNDS PRESENTS BY ARRANGEMENT WITH PRIMARY TALENT INTERNATIONAL

Even just listening to music does wonders in alleviating stress and promoting relaxation. It has wonderful and very powerful healing qualities and can be used to bring about a more positive state of mind, which helps to keep depression and anxiety at bay. The group music sessions we hold at On Track each week have been significant in a number of ways. They have brought about an enhanced sense of personal achievement and selfesteem for all participants which has not only benefited their creative life but also fostered a sense of community which has then had flow on effects for other areas of their social and personal lives. Why do you think mental health issues and awareness raising are so important for the wider community?

The stigma can be so detrimental that people who even suspect they have mental health issues may be too fearful to seek adequate help.

It’s important so that members of the public gain understanding about what it’s like living with mental illness so that stigma and discrimination are reduced and people feel more accepted and There are lots of public campaigns like We also realised what an incredible supported. Social inclusion helps people effect the performance had not only on Beyond Blue etc around reframing our feel part of the community, that they the performers but also on the audience. perceptions of mental illness.

It also supports I think I realised quite quickly through families and friends of people living Yes, definitely. I think there is a wave of my work at On Track that previous to with mental illness by making the issue support rising in regard to mental health starting there I did in fact hold some awareness. Campaigns like Beyond Blue more public and providing support and misperceptions myself about people and organisations like the Mental Illness understanding for them as well.

MAJOR CHORD AT THE TREEHOUSE IN BELONGIL ON THURSDAY

Major Chord Melbourne’s Major Chord, aka Dan Flynn, delivers folk-pop ramblings, double meanings and melodic dealings. He sings about things like fear, death, loss and resentment but also of love, hope, joy and contentment. He spends most of his time recording songs in his garage while his muse wishes he did more of the cooking. He likes to construct his own musical instruments, sing falsetto at night and capture sounds when they’re not looking. After garnering heavy praise for his self-titled debut album, Major Chord’s second set The Rabbit Hole saw high rotation on Triple J with the track ‘Single File’, with rave reviews all calling him one of Melbourne’s finest songwriters. He creates his magic world live this Thursday at Treehouse from 6pm.

Email gigs@echo.net.au with subject header ‘Make My Reggae Day’

Lead singer Vaughn Benjamin’s electrifying voice seems an amalgamation of many great voices in reggae-soulful, chanting, edgy. Vaughn’s potent lyrical style and his brother Ron Benjamin’s exquisite production, vocals, dub, arrangements, keyboard/bass musical directorship form the nucleus of this musical-rootsy sound, which includes: Christian Molina (drums), Edmund Fieulleteau (guitar), Edwin Byron (guitar) and Ras L (keyboards). Midnite weaves the cultural lyrics of ‘old school’ roots music with modern day experiences to create a unique listening encounter. Roots Reggae – naked and raw is an apt description for Midnite’s musical style, in which they forgo the frills of extensive remixes, overdubbing and other musical refinements. Midnite explodes in live performances with sets that often exceed three hours. Their vigorous, weighty sound, driven by the punchy bass lines, creates a vibe that penetrates straight to the heart.

MIDNITE AT BYRON BAY REGGAEFEST AT THE BYRON BREWERY ON SATURDAY 4 DECEMBER

Opera at the Cinema New York Metropolitan Opera star Anna Netrebko rose to fame singing the role of the young widow Norina in Donizetti’s sophisticated bel canto comedy Don Pasquale, the next in the 2010-11 season of operas screening at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas. John Del Carlo plays the title role of the old bachelor Don Pasquale, who plans to marry in order to punish his rebellious nephew Ernesto. Pasquale wants an heir so he can cut the young man off without a penny. And so commences this comedy of mistaken identity and Machiavellian scheming, which premiered in Paris in 1843. Don Pasquale, captured live in high definition, screens at the Dendy on Saturday at 11.30am, and Sunday at 1pm, and again on Thursday December 2 at 11.30am, tickets $23-$27.

It’s not Easy Being Jeff Green Jeff Green is hysterical. This Monday, international comic extraordinaire makes his way to the Byron Services Club. I remember seeing him at the Melbourne Comedy Festival years ago and I think he told the bravest joke I’d ever heard. He was talking about his wife giving birth and being there as the support, and he referred to it as an experience akin to watching your favourite pub burning down. It was such an outrageously funny and almost politically incorrect statement that I knew straight away that bloke is fricking funny. Jeff has some of the most thoughtful and intelligent material on being in a relationship, from the point of view of the ‘sensitive new age male’. Hugely in demand in the UK and Europe, Jeff’s stand-up comedy background is nothing short of impressive: A solo WestEnd season and three full length UK TV comedy specials – Jeff Green Live (ITV), Jeff Green – Up West (ITV), and Jeff Green Comedy Store Special (Channel 5). Jeff also owns a caravan, which he bought on eBay. Unfortunately Subby Valentine can’t make this show so we’ve contracted the incredible Steve Allison the star of Woodford Festival Comedy year after year. Mandy Nolan joins the blokes as MC and referee on Monday at the Byron Services Club Pandanus Lounge. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the club or booked on 6684 3443. Show starts at 8pm. Tickets are limited so book now!

Comedy Terra Alert Having entertained over 200,000 people around the country comedian Mark McConville comes to The Terranora Tavern very highly recommended. Mark has been seen on all of the major commercial TV channels as well as being a featured comic on the Comedy Channel’s Home Delivered Comedy. Radio stations haven’t escaped his attention either, having been heard around the country under the ‘Home Grown Humour’ banner, but to be fully appreciated he has to be seen live. Thursday December 2 at the Terranora Tavern at 8pm for just $3 with Mandy Nolan. Bookings can be made on 07 5590 5416.

Sydney artist Tracey Levett will be showing her latest body of work, ‘The Outpouring’ at Zakay Gallery on the Byron Industrial Estate on Friday. Ezra Mack, a private art dealer of over 20 years, based in New York is flying over especially to introduce everyone to Tracey’s latest exhibition. The light filled canvases are full of optimism and joy; they have a very feminine energy and are already being sought after by loyal Sydney and of course Byron collectors. ‘Painting allows me to connect with Spirit and to bring my feelings into form. It is my hope that these paintings will move people and allow them to experience both their humanity and their divinity as one.’

There have been six instalments Harry Potter before this (I would have And The Deathly guessed four) but, though present at each, I’m blowed if Hallows: Part 1 I can remember much about ‘Are we there yet?’ Well, not any of them – apart from the quite. We’ve had fifteen hours delicious sense of enchantment of Harry, Hermione and Ron created by the children’s arrival since they were first lifted at Hogwarts. It’s a common from the pages of JK Rowling’s failure and director David Yates, blockbusters and brought to the attending to it by opting for the screen in 2001. tried and true MO of all serials, includes enough retrospective The willowy Emma Watson shots to get you back up to might still pass as a schoolgirl, speed. but Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint are now muscular young Following the death of Professor men so, in order to conclude Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the wizards’ epic adventure Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), before its stars start stealing the scariest bad guy ever, cars and selling drugs, the final has seized power and Harry’s two episodes have been filmed mission is to find and destroy concurrently. the horcruxes (magic pendants)

scathing attention. Sadly, it’s likely to be ignored by a generation whose values are being shaped by a society in which the union movement has been demonised to the point of near extinction (‘Solidarity? Are they coming to Splendour?’), and an individual’s inalienable ‘right’ to instant gratification has been made sacrosanct by those ‘I’m alright Jack’ ideologues who profit most from flogging those gratifications.

Boy before Voldemort and his cronies throttle him. Apart from an animated sequence that tells the parable of the three deadly hallows, fans will be delighted to find that the latest outing is just like all the others, the only real surprise being that it is not in 3D. More of the same is the order of the day for such franchises (my instinct is that as many of Harry’s followers have come to him through the movies as the books (as opposed to the hardcore audience of teenage girls who have devoured every page of the ‘Twilight’ saga), so the fantastical world of wondrous CGI and its forthright conflict between good and evil is just the ticket.

A dying scene at the end, as corny as any I can recall, is absolutely heartbreaking.

BALLINA FAIR

Made In Dagenham 1968 is enshrined in popular memory for its ‘summer of love’. But Dagenham, in London’s East End, is a long way from Haight-Ashbury, and in May of that year it was the scene of a confrontation that would have a lasting and considerably more important outcome than anything achieved by stoned hippies. The ladies working in the Ford plant at Dagenham, sewing together the upholstery of its Cortinas, have seen their status lowered by management to that of ‘unskilled’. Irate at the slur and the impact such a designation will have on their earnings, they take their complaint ‘upstairs’. Shop steward Albert (a thankfully restrained Bob Hoskins) understands that the cause must be championed by one of those affected, but Connie (Geraldine James), the long-time rep, is preoccupied with an ailing husband. Into the breach steps petite, quietly spoken but determined Rita (Sally Hawkins). The solidarity she inspires in the girls leads to strike action and a broadening of their demands to include something unheard of, something revolutionary – equal pay for women. Based on actual events, with a couple of telling grabs from old news footage (many men at the factory did not support their sisters’ claim), Nigel Cole’s wonderful film dodges the whimsy and quirkiness that so often trivialises such period pieces, but still maintains a levity that eschews the brain pummeling piety that can make you feel like you’re sitting through a sermon.

HARRY POTTER

DEATHLY HALLOWS

MADE IN WILD DAGENHAM SKYLINE TARGET

44 November 23, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo

Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version – an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before.

This is an engaging film with unexpected humour and priceless vignettes, like the I loved this movie. Catch it if you scene in which the film’s 11-yearold protagonist Boy (James can, it’ll lift your spirits no end. Rollestone) shares his hopes and ~John Campbell dreams with his attentive pet goat, Leaf.

But as the story has got darker and the atmospherics more post-apocalyptic (the M rating is generous), the relationship between the three leads has grown more intimate. Angstridden Harry, struggling with his destiny, has become less appealing than the frustrated but loyal, often resentful Ron (Grint also displays a welcome gift for comedy), while rationally minded Hermione provides Harry with moral support as she deals with lovelorn Ron’s attentions. It is this closeness among them – they have virtually grown up together – that is the film’s mainstay as it moves into its compelling second hour.

Directed by New Zealander Taika Waititi, Boy is outwardly a simple film, yet inwardly this movie gem is a complex, soulful coming of age tale of a young boy’s harsh reality deflected by fantasy. The boy is an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his grandma, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky. Shortly after Gran leaves for a week,

While much of the story appears light and funny, there’s an ever-present undercurrent that canvasses themes of hardship, loss, loneliness and rejection. It is that contrast that gives the film ballast as it takes us through a turbulent emotional experience. This film was a major hit with audiences at this year’s Sydney Film Festival. ~Lounge Cinema

Mullum’s watery monster without a name Nippers represent

It’s a monster, it’s in the water and it’s waiting to get you! The brand new monster challenge pool inflatable arrived at the Mullumbimby Pool last Tuesday and like any kids with a new toy pool managers Mark and Clare Mathison couldn’t wait to play. On Friday evening some of the Mullum Pool staff gave it a test run and even the

would be experts found the new toy a challenging obstacle. The inflatable is an impressive sight at 18 metres long and 5 metres high at the Tarzan rope swing section. At a cost of $15,000, the toy is an exhilarating addition to the Mullumbimby Petria Thomas Swimming Pools’ inflatable repertoire. Previous inflatables

have proven popular with children around 5 – 12yrs but this one will be more appealing to teenagers and adults too. Mark and Clare says that despite the poor start to the season from miserable weather conditions, the water is now at a comfortable 24 degrees. They have bought the inflatable to create more excitement

and fun for the families and youth of the shire and will be running this monster pool obstacle course exclusively on Friday nights this summer and the toy is also available for private functions, though there is a strict no alcohol policy and pool and inflatable rules are in place which must be adhered to to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all. Mark and Clare are toying with the idea of a big inflatable day out for Australia day 2011 with the new monster challenge in the pool all day. Unfortunately there is one huge problem with the toy. When Mark was unpacking the monster, its name details fell in the drink without waterproof ink and now the monster is nameless. Pool staff are running a competition and whoever can come up with the most suitable name for the watery giant will win a five pass pool toy voucher. Simply leave your name suggestion and contact details with staff at the canteen. The monster makes its debut this Friday from 7-10pm. Entries for the naming comp close on the first official day of summer, Wednesday December 1 with the winner announced at the pool on Friday December 3.

Six Byron Bay Surf Life Saving Junior Nippers have been named as part of the Far North Coast Team for 2010. The event will be held on December 12 at Soldiers Beach in NSW. This is a huge achievement for these Nippers as competition is fierce to secure a prized spot in the FNC team. All surf clubs from Yamba in the south to Fingal in the north are included in the FNC Branch. The selectors from FNC Branch have been keeping close watch at carnivals for

the past 12 months and select only three males and three females in each age group from under 12s, under 13s and the under 14s, and Byron Bay has had members selected in every age. Congratulations to the team members pictured: Josh Brown and Max Hulbert from the U14s, Tom Rowley representing the U12s, Dean Templeman from the U13s and Jy Timporley from also from the U12s. Missing from the photo is Shelley Clark from the U14s.

Swimmer safety resource backed by pros Swimmers can now reduce their risk of injury via a new resource developed by Swimming Victoria and Smartplay. The Preventing Swimming Injuries Fact Sheet was launched on the weekend by Australian Swimming Champion, Marieke Guehrer. The resource offers practical advice for all recreational and competitive swimmers to aid in injury prevention. As swimming has one of the highest participation rates, injuries do occur. From 20022007, 363 people were admitted to Victorian hospitals, an average of 73 per year while 1,045 people visited emergency departments for swimmingrelated injuries, an average of 174 per year according to the Monash University Accident Research Centre. Marieke believes safety while swimming is crucial, with this resource being a great starting point to educate swimmers on how to be safe when entering the water. ‘During my swimming career, the training regime has been hard, but it would have been much harder if I didn’t

have excellent therapists and practitioners helping me with injury maintenance and prevention,’ said Ms Guehrer. ‘I have learnt self-management is just as important as ‘doing the kilometres’ in the pool, if not more important. ‘I urge all young athletes and recreational swimmers alike to practise stretching, correct technique, proper warming up and cooling down before races and hard training, and to follow the pool rules so that swimming is as enjoyable and successful as it has been for me,’ said Ms Guehrer. Executive Officer of Sports Medicine Australia Victorian Branch Lynne Sheehan said all those involved in swimming have a responsibility to safety. ‘Everyone involved in swimming can and should practise safety. If coaches, clubs and participants are aware of their responsibilities a safer swimming environment can be achieved,’ said Ms Sheehan. ‘Through the development of this resource it is hoped that the correct safety precautions are known and most importantly undertaken.’

Or perhaps rub over a of coriander, a plant of which all parts are jointed chicken a paste of whizzed-togethedible: leaves, seeds, stems and roots. It is sometimes referred to as cilantro as well as er coriander, roots-and-all, garlic, whole black peppercorns, salt and lemon juice – Chinese parsley – the latter possibly due then leave it for an hour before pan-frying to its resemblance to continental parsley. Belonging to the carrot family, its fragrance both sides till gold then adding coconut is faintly orangey; a cook alongside whom milk and simmering to tenderness. I once worked would toss freshly ground My much-plundered Waverley Root says and roasted coriander seeds in to the tailof coriander that ‘For so egoistic a spice it end of her ratatouille to provide precisely ... goes with almost everything, no doubt that note. because of its contradictory nature, which permits it to be assertive and arrogant with I think it smells wonderful – floral, spicy, game, pork or in sausage, subtly caressing a little tangy – and yet its name derives with lamb, chicken or fish; unobtrusive from the Greek word meaning ‘bed bug’ because it was believed to give off a similar in curry powders, from which it is almost never omitted; exotic in blood pudding, aroma. The pounded roots, along with garlic and peppercorns, are emblematic of cheese or omelets; peppery with rice, Thai cuisine – their flavour is more intense mashed potatoes, Chinese noodles or Oriental soup; fiery in Ethiopian berbere than the rest of the herb.

I often make a glorious lamb tagine into which I hurl freshly chopped coriander leaves at the absolute end, and they endow the spicy dish with a quality both refreshing and floral.

I come away from Chestnut Park in a car scented with fresh coriander and limes, dreaming of Thai food.

The seeds when crushed release a lemony, nutty, citrus flavour; they also keep indefinitely. It is best to dry-heat or roast then grind them rather than rely on the little packets of invariably stale powder. Because they are quite mild you can be lavish – a handful rather than a pinch.

SNIPPETS CHRISTMAS FEAST A special Christmas feast will be turned on for the Byron Farmers Market farmers for the second year in a row. According to organiser Deborah Preston, it is ‘an expression of appreciation for all the fabulous fresh produce that we can buy from them throughout the year’. To be held at a Byron Bay retreat centre for about 70 farmers, it will be a lunch on Thursday December 16 – and Deb is currently looking for volunteers for not only that day but the preceding one. Prepping, cooking, cleaning and serving are the jobs required – so anyone wanting to give thanks in a meaningful way to the people who produce that food should call Deb on 0419 180 997.

WHOLLY WONDERFUL A special mention must be made of organic butchery in Byron Bay, Wholly Smoked. Desperately requiring knives sharpened before an impending cooking class, an Echo staff member rang around some local butcher shops asking for help – to be met with the response that they were too busy. With the exception, that is, of John at Wholly Smoked who not only performed the task within hours of the request but also refused any payment. A beautiful case of old-fashioned small-town service and great generosity.

Have say on reserve plan The community is being invited to have a say on the draft plan of management for Cumbebin Swamp Nature Reserve, adjacent to Byron Bay. Delta Kay, Chairperson of the Byron Coast Area National Parks Management Committee said most people notice part of the Cumbebin Swamp Nature Reserve as maze of swamp paperbarks west of Byron Bay between the township and Belongil Creek Bridge. ‘Many visitors and locals may have looked at this swamp and wondered what are its values,’ Delta said. ‘Long before European settlement Aborigi-

nal People valued these swamp areas as great sources of bush tucker and materials for making baskets and shelters. ‘Despite considerable impacts from draining and clearing the area still retains an amazing array of natural and cultural values.’ Submissions on the draft plan close on February 7 Copies of the draft plan are available free of charge at the National Parks and Wildlife Service office at Byron Bay.

Survey reveals great Aussie dream fading for most NSW residents may need to re-think their approach to home ownership after a housing affordability survey revealed it is more difficult than ever to get onto the property ladder. In a new survey by realestate.com. au, 81 per cent of respondents stated that home ownership is becoming more and more unattainable. Sixty per cent of those who took part in the survey indicated they

find the current situation challenging due to house prices rising faster than salaries, with a further 39 per cent of respondents having to change their expectations of where they want to live. Property expert Margaret Lomas said she is keen to see a reverse in the trend that sees one in two Australians only willing to look for properties within a 10km radius of their prime location, believing that aspiring first-time buyers need to look further afield for their first property investment. ‘The great Aussie dream isn’t actually lost as most would believe,’ she said. ‘It simply needs a little modi-

fying for many. There still exists so many opportunities for people to buy property and build substantial property portfolios by becoming a landlord rather than an owner occupier. ‘Anyone wanting to get onto the property ladder in New South Wales should consider areas with strong infrastructure planning, population growth and a healthy demand from tenants to ensure great yields. My favourite hotspots for now are Nowra, Woollongong, Wagga, Granville, Bathurst, Orange, and Queanbeyan.’ The realestate.com.au report reveals that nationally, first-time buyers find saving for the initial deposit the most challenging aspect of buying a property (38 per cent), with a further 28 per cent revealing that saving for a deposit has a significant impact on their quality of life. Eighty per cent

Land rezoning could alleviate the housing shortage, but as NSW (and Byron Shire) is so obviously overpopulated, don’t expect relief any time soon.

of respondents said it was easier for their parents’ or grandparents’ generation to buy a property, with 47 per cent nominating that life was simpler for that generation, with less focus on consumerism as the main reason. Greg Ellis, CEO of realestate. com.au, recognises that buying a home can be a challenge for some and decided the company should do something to raise awareness around housing affordability for low income earners. ‘We have launched the Fresh Start

Project (freshstartproject.com.au) in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Australia – the world’s number one provider of housing for low income families in need – to support families in need,’ he said. ‘We will help a family get a fresh start by donating $130,000 which will go towards them owning a safe and secure home of their own. It’s our way of giving back to the community. We understand that a lot of ordinary Australians sometimes struggle to realise their dream of home ownership.’

HIA welcomes apprentice funding Business Directory page 67

Open Houses, Auctions & New Listings page 54

The Housing Industry Association has welcomed Labor’s announcement today that it would invest $23.8 million over four years for more apprentices to complete their training and move into the workforce. In its pre-election submission HIA identified industry skills and training a major issue impacting on affordability and called for greater funding of apprentices. ‘The construction industry is facing an ageing workforce and mounting skills shortages in a number of key trades. Programs

that help young people into an apprenticeship and provide better support through programs such as mentoring and business upskilling, are welcomed by industry,’ HIA Victorian Executive Director Gil King said. ‘It’s a crucial time to be investing in the future of our industry. Sadly one third of young apprentices cancel in the first year and 55 per cent fail to complete the apprenticeship altogether. ‘While HIA welcomes mentoring initiatives, field officers should come from within industry. HIA

looks forward to seeing the details of how such a mentoring role will be delivered, and would suggest that a builder guiding a builder would the most effective mentor. ‘The extra funding for young tradespeople to start their own business is also a step in the right direction. It will provide a small, but much-needed contribution to their future in the construction industry.’ In its pre-election submission HIA also called for money to help tradespeople to upgrade their qualifications, in particular for

students wishing to upgrade from Certificate III to Certificate IV. Six key items on HIA’s wish list include removing and/or reducing housing taxes such as stamp duty and levies, maintaining ongoing land supply for housing, ending excessive regulations that increase red tape and push up the cost of new homes, making finance more easily available for housing, introducing better planning processes to reduce holding costs and delays and increasing industry skills and training to ensure a future workforce.

Backlash The Roundhouse debacle (see page 16) reminds us that everything has to be taken in perspective. For example, the Crab Pulsar is so dense that a teaspoonful weighs about a billion tons. Only about 25 kilometres in diameter, it is nevertheless visible from our planet, which is roughly 60,000,000,000,000,000 kilometres away. But then this tiny object is putting out 100,000 times as much energy as our Sun and is the power source that illuminates the entire Crab Nebula.

One of the Woolworths contractors told Backlash that they had to block off Station Street and use this public road to store building supplies because ‘the site itself was not big enough.’ And yet Council owns the block next to Woolworths. Did anyone think of this obvious solution, or was the opportunity to trample on the town too tempting?

This teenage elephant wasn’t the only person recuperating on Main Beach on Sunday. Actually it isn’t a real pachyderm but sand sculpture that escaped from the consciousnesses of Dan Eyles and Jessie Ara who have stepped up to the plate while Byron’s regular Sandman, Steve, is away on paternity leave.
