Sun takes a holiday

Frida flies the flag

Staff reporters

In case you have been living in a vacuum-sealed pod in a waterproof bunker you would have noticed it’s been raining. ‘We’re in damage control,’ a Tweed LAC police officer said when contacted by The Echo on Monday. He said a remote command post had been established by the duty officer and he was assisting the SES and other rescue services with the unfolding road closures, fallen trees, power lines and rescue calls. Waves of up to seven metres lashed the coast Monday morning and nearly 500mm of rain has been reported near Mullumbimby since 9am Sunday, as the brunt of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald batters our region. Destructive winds are forecast to continue, with peak gusts of 140km/h over parts of the northern rivers. No matter the weather, things are always more fun when you have something to fly.

northern NSW. In breaking news it was reported by ABC online that a section of Tweed Hospital roof had been blown away. As of going to press the Pacific Highway remains open; however, Tweed Valley Way (west of the Pacific Highway) is closed to traffic near Murwillumbah. Bangalow Rd, between Bangalow and Lismore, is also closed. Police are urging drivers to slow down and use extreme caution in the current wet weather conditions, after a number of serious crashes across the state. Officers attended 127 major crashes on Saturday, where 46 people suffered injuries, but fortunately no deaths have so far been reported.

Strange Bedfellows forum blows off steam Hans Lovejoy

A packed Byron community centre on Saturday night saw the business community, along with council and state MPs, discuss the impacts of tourism on the town and its future. And in a first for community radio station BayFM, the entire Q&A-style event was broadcast live from the theatre. Comedian Mandy Nolan, also a panelist, warmed up the crowd and displayed an overhead chart demonstrating Byron’s enormous visitor numbers compared to other NSW regional towns. ‘The graph clearly shows other tourist towns are dwarfed by Byron. ‘Outside of Sydney, we have the highest level of visitor numbers,’ she said, ‘and when you consider the ratepaying base of Sydney as opposed to

ours, we are carrying a heavy burden.’ And so it was game on. Debate was at times heated but generally constrained from both panelists and audience. MC Mick O’Regan set the tone for the evening by saying, ‘There are many who are telling me that what is happening in Byron Bay is a privatisation of benefit and a socialisation of cost.’ All panelists agreed that this year’s NYE caught organisers (Council, the business community and police) by surprise. Publican and businessman Tom Mooney said he understood that sales for the night were down for most of the liquor outlets. Part of the problem, he said, is NYE crowds needed direction and that venues offer greater safety than celebrating on the beach. ‘All it would take is a big night with big seas and people could have drowned.’ Byron United (chamber of com-

merce) president Paul Waters again came under pressure to explain his comments over new years eve. MC Mick O’Regan asked what he meant by ‘if you don’t like tourism, then move to Lismore,’ to which Mr Waters said it was taken out context by the journalist. Predictably he rejected police recommendations to close drinking venues earlier, claiming it would create more problems if hundreds of people were ejected from, say the Beach Hotel, all at once. While a very worthy debate, and hopefully just the start of a wider conversation, there was unfortunately very little said that was ‘actionable’. Reduced-interest loan grants to assist Council from the state government was at one time mentioned by Don Page, who is Ballina MP and minister for the north coast and local government. He added that Council had yet to make an

application for them. He played down what other assistance his government could provide, despite being in office and a local resident. He was at odds over the legalities of holiday letting with Greens MP Jan Barham. Mr Page said he considered it legal, to which she argued that the government’s LEP (Local Environment Plan) clearly says it isn’t. MP Barham then claimed there were over 600 houses being holiday let, and received applause by saying it has led to an erosion of community. Mr Page also told the audience that he was assured by Tweed-Byron police commander, Inspector Stuart Wilkins, that there are sufficient officers in the region. That claim was challenged by youth worker Nicqui Yazdi who said from the floor that local police officers she talked to say there are ‘just not enough’ police.

Mayor Simon Richardson said that suggestions by police to improve the CBD’s lighting and moving the taxi rank had been worked on by Council staff and would be tabled in coming months. He added that his priority would be to address that before considering CCTV, despite it being given support by Council. State or federal government funding on CCTV is yet to be sought. At the forum’s conclusion, it was announced that on Thursday February 7, another forum would be held at the community centre, with the aim to establish a united association called ‘Our Community’. The Echo asked federal Richmond MP Justine Elliot what funding assistance the town could be given by the feds – or indeed currently provides – but her office did not reply by Friday prior to Monday’s public holiday.

Submissions close February 4 for one of the most contentious developments in recent times – a Byron Bay KFC fast-food restaurant. Located at the former Byron Music store at the southern end of the Byron Shopping Plaza (next to Woolies), the proposal would see a restaurant refit of the retail space and an 8.5-metre illuminated pylon sign on the street. A tree would be removed to make room for the signage, according to the lodged DA. The development has drawn much criticism, most notably by the shire’s mayor Simon Richardson. He told The Echo that as it stands it’s likely to be rejected by Council for not including a toilet in the store and lack of car park availability.

Street petition Resident Simon Seven also took his petition to the streets and said the response against the outlet was ‘overwhelming’.

‘Everyone I talk to is horrified,’ he told The Echo, ‘including people who don’t live here. ‘They have said to me they come to Byron because there isn’t this type of corporation here.’ As of Friday, he claims 1500 signatures were collected in around five days, and expects ‘a couple of thousand’ before submissions close. The owner of the commercial property for the proposal is Gold Coast developer Robert Badalotti, who also owns the property under the cinema where Dan Murphy’s bid failed. The Echo understands the proponents of the Byron KFC live near Tweed Heads. Byron Bay is already home to fast food chains Domino’s Pizza, Baskin and Robbins and Subway. In the early 1990s, public protests successfully stopped McDonald’s from opening in the town. The KFC-free Facebook page can be found at http:// on.fb.me/VfglhC.

Byron’s last koala habitat threatened Luis Feliu

Five urban-bushland areas in Byron Shire which local planners had proposed to protect under the new E4 zones (Environmental Living) in its draft Local Environment Plan (LEP) are under threat of being developed for housing, according to the north coast’s peak nature conservation body. One of those locations, around the Lilli Pilli estate, contains core habitat for the last remaining koala population in Byron Bay. Submissions for the draft Byron Shire LEP closed last month, yet north coast National Party MPs Don Page and Thomas George announced afterwards that the E4 zones for urban bushland would also be removed on top of the E2 and E3 zones which had sparked controversy. Save North Coast Nature (SNCN) called the move ‘outrageous’ as the MPs ‘chose to hide their intentions from the

public until after submissions to the Byron LEP had closed’. The five locations which had been earmarked as E4 are: Lilli Pilli estate at Byron Bay, Marshalls Creek at New Brighton, Marshalls Creek at South Golden Beach, Brunswick River at Mullumbimby, and the coastal cypress forest at Suffolk Park  â€˜The E4 Environmental Living zone allows for low-density residential development, while ensuring the environmental values of the site are maintained within the development,’ SNCN’s Andy Baker said. ‘These protections may be removed permanently by the planning minister, allowing unfettered residential development in some of the shire’s most precious non-rural environments. ‘All areas proposed as E4 contain extraordinary environmental values, including primary koala habitat, endangered ecological communities, important habitat for threat-

35-metre NBN tower mooted close to school Story & photo Eve Jeffery

The village of Fernleigh, just behind Knockrow, is starting to feel the shadow of a tall tower creep over the landscape as representatives of the National Broadband Network, NBN, come to town. Residents are becoming alarmed at a possible site which is in close proximity to the school. Research is very inconclusive on issues surrounding electromagnetic radiation and it effects on human health. Resident Angus Maciver says that his family, as well as many others, have been approached by NBN for the use of land. ‘A couple of months ago we received a call from representatives of the National Broadband Network asking if we were interested in leasing space on our hill to them so that they could build a 35-metre concrete radio tower’, says Angus. ‘We said we would never do so. We then discovered that NBN were approaching

Parents and children in Fernleigh have concerns for a proposed 35-metre tower, which is in close proximity to the school and park

neighbours who also rejected the approach, although we understand that one may have expressed interest.’ Mr Maciver says that a number of people in the district have expressed their dismay that such a tower could be built in such a beautiful part of NSW. ‘It would be a considerable eyesore,’ he says. ‘Our property and those of our neighbours are within easy walking distance of the Fernleigh primary school,

which has 20 pupils. ‘We have children as do a number of our neighbours. We are particularly concerned about the health issues surrounding these radio towers.’ Mr Maciver says that NBN quote from a scientific report that states that they are safe. ‘There are an equal numbers of scientists who say they are not. Nobody can justify exposing young brains to these towers. There seems no reason why

the tower could not be built on resumed land around the new expressway or elsewhere away from families.’ A petition is currently being signed and a flyer has gone out to people in the district advising them of the opposition to the tower. In addition the local state member and the local federal member have been approached. ‘If you google NBN Towers you will find out that there is considerable opposition to the towers being built near populated places throughout the country’, says Angus. ‘Andrew Wilkie, the federal independent member in Tasmania, has stated that we should err on the side of caution when not enough is known of the health effects.’ A petition addressed to the NBNCo to oppose the towers is ready to be signed at the Newrybar general store, or you can sign in online at www. communityrun.org/p/stopfernleightower.

Barham slams sneak-on-your-neighbour scheme Inviting people to ‘dob in’ unauthorised occupants of public housing demonises tenants while ignoring the real problems facing our public housing system, according to Greens MP and housing spokesperson Jan Barham. ‘The NSW government’s announcement of an amnesty to declare unauthorised occupants in public housing is supported but calling for a “dob in� campaign is unfair and disrespectful,’ Ms Barham said. ‘The evidence has shown the failure of “dob in� strategies. www.echo.net.au

‘The experience with the federal tip-off line for Centrelink fraud shows that we can expect a very small number of calls to be acted upon. ‘An anonymous dob-in system can become bogged down with complaints that are often incorrect, unsubstantiated and in some cases vexatious,’ she said. Ms Barham said that although ensuring accurate occupancy information and rental assessments are reasonable goals, the focus on ‘rorters’ risked demonising public

housing tenants. ‘An amnesty to encourage tenants to provide Housing NSW with accurate information about the occupants of their homes is a useful approach, but the immediate call for people to report anyone they suspect of rorting the system implies fraud is a widespread problem among public housing tenants. ‘I’m concerned that the public focus on fraud is a distraction from the major challenges the government needs to tackle in providing housing support.

‘There is a severe shortage of social housing stock across the state, thousands of people remain on waiting lists, and most of the available allocations to public housing go to those with emergency or special needs. ‘With federal cuts to singleparent and other payments from their already low baseline, the pressure is only going to increase, and encouraging what might be many groundless accusations against existing tenants won’t solve the housing crisis in New South Wales,’ Ms Barham said.

no affordable housing created. Gabi says that Council did produce the Affordable Housing Strategy 2009, which she says clearly earmarks Council owned properties in the shire for that purpose and states that Council would consider to make land available and partner with a community housing provider to make affordable housing possible. ‘This is exactly what SASHTA has in mind, to support council in this task.’ SASHTA as a group came to life after the Affordable Housing forum in March 2011. ‘We are mainly made up of people who have been experiencing this crisis ourselves and, driven by this need, been pushed into action’, says Gabi. ‘The aim of our group is to acquire land and/or long-term

leases to facilitate the creation of environmentally, socially sustainable and affordable housing.’ Gabi says the group is currently working with a range of respected professional advisers to develop a strategic and operational framework for planning, design and development of affordable housing projects. ‘This includes identifying appropriate governance and investment structures to raise capital to fund a first project that would house our 40 members and their dependants. ‘This vision can only be achieved if Council stands by its policy and makes land available to the community to help hold and strengthen its social capital, so people on low to medium incomes who work in the Byron Shire can live securely and sustainably.’

Many Byron Shire workers and locals are finding it increasingly difficult to live in a town that continually caters for the tourist trade, at tourist prices and tourist timetables. The Sustainable Affordable Secure Housing Tenant Alliance, SASHTA, are a group of community members who are taking the issue into their own hands in response to what they see as the lack of government action. They are approaching government at local, state and federal levels to ask for co-operation in a collaborative effort. They would like to see the new Byron Shire LEP include appropriate zoning for sustainable affordable housing and the state government support sustainable and affordable housing. They are hoping to get answers on a local level as to what the Byron Shire Council needs to do now to help make it a reality. ‘There has been an affordable housing crisis in Byron Shire going back well beyond 2007’, says SAHSTA’s Gabi Bohent. ‘Council’s survey of the community and business, undertaken by Micromex research, stated that, “Affordable Housing is the number one priority issue.” Unfortunately, SASHTA’s Gabi Bohnet wants to see sustainable and affordable up until now there has been housing as a part of the Byron landscape.

The Byron Bay International Film Festival (BBFF) has announced one of the biggest documentary buyers in North America will be taking part of this year’s festival, to be held March 1 – 10. Charles Schuerhoff is director of International Acquisitions at the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the USA, and will be a panelist for the Meet the Buyers workshop, which is aimed at helping Australian filmmakers find markets for their work. Additionally he’ll be judging the ScreenZone International Documentary Prize, worth $5,000 in cash. Festival director J’aimee Skippon-Volke says, ‘The festival has a growing international profile and the contribution from Charles will help drive forward the appeal of BBFF to talented filmmakers worldwide. This, in turn, will really boost the festival experience

Owners face heavy fines after dog attack A dog attack in Billinudgel last week has left a man with severe injuries to his arm requiring hospitalisation and extensive surgery. The man was attacked, while walking down the street, by two dogs believed to have been Mastiff crosses. There were no fences on the property and the animals were not tied up.

<echowebsection=Local News>

Byron Shire Council’s governance manager, Ralph James, said the owners of the dogs could face fines of more than $50,000 despite having the two dogs euthanised the same day. ‘It would have been a terrifying experience and we understand that the victim will require future ongoing surgery to repair the damage.

Byron Shire Council is reminding pet owners that dogs are not allowed to roam or leave a property, must wear a collar, identification tag, be microchipped and under the control of a competent person at all times when in public places. There had been no previous reports about the two Billinudgel dogs prior to the attack.

Flicker lights up Aussie Day SCU’s $28m windfall from feds Southern Cross University has received funding to build a $28 million engineering precinct, following a grant from the federal government announced last week. The university’s plan is a response to a significant shortage of graduating engineers and will include ‘flexible and contemporary’ learning spaces at the university’s Lismore cam-

pus, according to vice-chancellor Professor Peter Lee. Federal funding was jointly announced last week by tertiary education minister Chris Evans and Page MP Janelle Saffin. The state will also kick in $259,000 and the university will reach into its coffers to find $10 million to finalise the refurbishment, which also includes revamping the campus library.

Ms Saffin says the project will benefit the wider Lismore community as well as the university. She told ABC local radio, ‘The figures from the university say it will add $135 million to our regional economy over 10 years.’ Q This story appeared in full at

NSW motorists will be slugged an extra $50 for a greenslip after threats by insurance companies. AAP reported last week that the new cost represents a 10 per cent increase on the current price of around $500, and insurers have threatened to pull out of CTP insurance if the government doesn’t accept their proposal.

More towns added to being CSG-free Three small community groups have just finished surveying around 1,000 residents covering three northern rivers shires (Byron, Lismore and Ballina) and while the final results are still being collated the result, at this stage, shows over 97 per cent of its population want the area kept gasfield free. To celebrate all the hard

work, the communities of Newrybar, Nashua, Fernleigh, Teven, Knockrow, Brooklet and Tintenbar will host a community celebration on Sunday February 3 at 10am. They will present their Gasfield Free Road declarations to their local mayors – who will all be in attendance at 11am. \ Over 50 roads will be de-

clared at the event. The presentation will be followed by a BYO family picnic, music and games afternoon beginning at midday. To show what could be lost if mining is allowed in this area there will be a table display of the rich bounty grown in the local area. Please bring a sample of your home-grown pro-

Byron gay beats free of complaints Hans Lovejoy

Recent incidents of public lewdness and obscene exposure at a well-known nude and gay beat in Tyagarah have yet to be officially reported. But a resident, who wished not to be named, contacted The Echo regarding his recent experience there and said he was horrified at what he and his family witnessed. ‘It was traumatic for my children seeing sexual acts in public,’ he told The Echo, adding that nothing appears to be done about it. The area includes tea tree lakes and beaches at the end of Grays Lane and has been known

to locals for years as a gay beat, attracting males of all ages engaging in public sexual acts. Websites such as www.cruisinggays.com and www.gaytraveller.com.au have also reviews recommending Tyagarah as a place for gays to meet. ‘I’ve been aware of it for the last 10 to 15 years to but in the past it’s mainly just nudity you see, which is not a concern,’ said the concerned resident. ‘However the last time we went it was like a public orgy… This is traditional sacred site, an environmental gem and mostly a public asset for us to enjoy and respect. [It’s] Not a dirty sleazy beat that is only available to a small minority of the com-

munity and whose open sexual behaviour is inappropriate in front of families particularly.’ Inspector Jim Kain from LAC Tweed Police told The Echo he was unaware of any recent complaints. He added that while there was no law against consensual sex, a complaint would have to be made by members of the public regarding obscene public exposure. Similarly Council have not received complaints regarding inappropriate behaviour at Tyagarah Beach this year (2013). Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of corporate management, Mark Arnold, told The Echo, ‘This is a clothes-

Local government recognition backed Calls for a referendum to recognise local government in the constitution have received widespread support, but backing by the states is critical to its successful outcome, according to the peak body for councils. A federal parliamentary committee last Thursday handed down its report recommending a referendum be held on the issue at the same time as the 2013 federal election, saying it was confident that if passed, it would clear up uncertainty surrounding Commonwealth direct funding of local government. Professor AJ Brown from Griffith’s Centre for Governance www.echo.net.au

and Public Policy also called on state governments to get behind the move, saying it was an ‘historic opportunity to improve significantly the mechanics and operation of the federal system’. Regional Australia minister Simon Crean said this week the federal government was committed to holding the referendum, which would need the support of a majority of voters to succeed. If passed, the amendment to the constitution would guarantee the Commonwealth’s ability to continue to directly fund essential community infrastructure, such as road building and upgrading.

If someone does come across indecent behaviour on any beach in the Shire, it should be reported in the first instance to police and then to council.’ He said Tyagarah Beach is the only clothes-optional beach in the Shire where nude sunbaking and swimming is allowed. The Tyagarah tea tree lakes fall under the jurisdiction of National Parks but as of going to press a spokesperson from the NSW National Parks had not returned The Echo’s enquiry. The Echo understands there are some patrols which take place.

You are not entitled to your opinion

E

very year, I try to do at least two things with my students at least once. Volume 27 #33 January 29, 2013 First, I make a point of addressing them as ‘philosophers’ – a bit cheesy, but hopefully it encourages active learning. Secondly, I say something like this: ‘I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “every‘Only the little people pay taxes,’ said the late American billionaire one is entitled to their opinLeona Helmsley in 1983, who ironically spent jail time for tax ion.” Perhaps you’ve even said evasion.

A bit harsh? Perhaps, but What’s wrong with paying taxes? Let’s be real: government is philosophy teachers owe it to a type of socialism.

tastes or preferences, through views about questions that concern most people such as prudence or politics, to views grounded in technical expertise, such as legal or scientific opinions. You can’t really argue about the first kind of opinion. I’d be silly to insist that you’re wrong to think strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate.

ence, not the science itself. So what does it mean to be ‘entitled’ to an opinion? If ‘Everyone’s entitled to their opinion’ just means no-one has the right to stop people thinking and saying whatever they want, then the statement is true, but fairly trivial. No-one can stop you saying that vaccines cause autism, no matter how many times that

If ‘entitled to an opinion’ means ‘entitled to have your views treated as serious candidates for the truth’ then it’s clearly false by Patrick Stokes, Lecturer in Philosophy at Deakin University The problem is that sometimes we implicitly seem to take opinions of the second and even the third sort to be unarguable in the way questions of taste are. Perhaps that’s one reason (no doubt there are others) why enthusiastic amateurs think they’re entitled to disagree with climate scientists and immunologists and have their views ‘respected.’ Meryl Dorey is the leader of the Australian Vaccination Network, which despite the name is vehemently anti-vaccine. Ms Dorey has no medical qualifications, but argues that if Bob Brown is allowed to comment on nuclear power despite not being a scientist, she should be allowed to comment on vaccines. But no-one assumes Dr Brown is an authority on the physics of nuclear fission; his job is to comment on the policy responses to the sci-

<echowebsection=Comment>

here is about the science itself, and the ‘choice groups’ simply don’t have a claim on air time if that’s where the disagreement is supposed to lie. Media Watch host Jonathan Holmes was considerably more blunt: ‘there’s evidence, and there’s bulldust,’ and it’s no part of a reporter’s job to give bulldust equal time with serious expertise. The response from antivaccination voices was predictable. On the Media Watch site, Ms Dorey accused the ABC of ‘openly calling for censorship of a scientific debate.’ This response confuses not having your views taken seriously with not being allowed to hold or express those views at all – or to borrow a phrase from Andrew Brown, it ‘confuses losing an argument with losing the right to argue.’ Again, two senses of ‘entitlement’ to an opinion are being conflated here. So next time you hear someone declare they’re entitled to their opinion, ask them why they think that. Chances are, if nothing else, you’ll end up having a more enjoyable conversation that way.

claim has been disproven. But if ‘entitled to an opinion’ means ‘entitled to have your views treated as serious candidates for the truth’ then it’s pretty clearly false. And this too is a distinction that tends to get blurred. The ABC’s Media Watch program took WIN-TV Wollongong to task for running a story on a measles outbreak which included comment from – you guessed it – Meryl Dorey. In a response to a viewer complaint, WIN said that the Q Sourced from http:// story was ‘accurate, fair and theconversation.edu.au balanced and presented the views of the medical practitioners and of the choice groups.’ But this implies an equal right to be heard on a matter in which only one of the two parties has the relevant expertise.

Wake-up calls

in the first place. Hint: nightclubs, bottle shops and 3am party bars don’t scream ‘laidback alternative paradise’. So – as weird as it sounds – how about we attract more vegos to the Bay? Stand by for some sweeping generalisations about vegos – ie non-violent, calm (okay – tired), sensitive etc. As traditional retail continues to struggle with the big movement to online purchasing, more careful consumer spending and high rents, I can see more shopfronts closing, which opens the way for more cafes and restaurants to come in and create Australia’s ultimate foodie destination. And what better synergies than these businesses using the great range of local produce grown on our doorstep? Especially if they target a vego demo! Current food businesses could action this now by increasing their vego options, even dedicating a whole day or evening to vego offerings – something like ‘Vego Tuesdays’. Imagine that! We’d get mellow folk from the hills coming down on Tuesday, and the party boys wouldn’t want to come near the joint – ‘stinkin vego hippies – don’t even wash, dude’. Key to this impacting on the demographic we attract is to promote this heavily via social networks, blackboards etc so we actually celebrate a vego lifestyle for a day a week. Word would spread far and wide that we are no longer Party Central – the Bay’s gone all vego. Matt Hartley Hey, worth a try… Byron Bay Geoff Southward Suffolk Park

To quote the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Ian Temby QC, from the 1990 investigation into North Coast Land Development: ‘Partiality at the hands of public officials can be destructive of the fundamental principles on which our system is based, whatever the reason for that partiality. Money is not a necessary part of corruption. ‘Excessive influence ought not to be regarded as simply conducive to corrupt conduct; it has the capacity itself to corrupt the system.’ – Section 33.4, Pg 660. The matters raised by Fast Buck$, and which others have sought to raise, relate directly to that partiality, and it certainly appears particular groups are the beneficiaries of it, to the detriment of our system and society. Tourism and mining: kept on a leash and serving the public, they’re terrific, but that is not the situation at hand. When the police have decided Byron Bay is too dangerous for them, the wake-up call should have been heard long ago; it was certainly made. When CSG is rejected overwhelmingly by the community, but our representatives hearken to its proponents, influence has become excessive indeed. It is time, due time, and well past due time, for excessive influence to be brought down to the level of public control, which is to say: our system has become corrupt, and it is time to call this spade a fucking shovel.

The vego strategy

When was the last time you saw the words vegetarian and hooligan in the same sentence? How about the phrase shirtless vegetarian drunks? We’re all talking about how to attract a different demographic to the Bay, but we need to offer something that attracts those people

KFC alert Some time in the distant past I read an essay by P J O’Rouke on money. He reckoned that there were three kinds of spend. Firstly, there is the citizen spending his own money. That doesn’t require supervision.

Subs close soon on Bangalow DA I recently attended the public meeting in Bangalow where many residents came out strongly against an oversized residential/commercial development proposed for the heritage precinct of Bangalow Village. The development has a large footprint covering almost the entire site – which is in fact three residential blocks – with no consideration for green space or visual amenity. It would certainly stretch the height regulations for Bangalow, and the design and scale is right out of character for the Station Street precinct. It was obvious from the meeting that locals would be quite happy with a suitable, well-designed building for the site – a lowimpact development of townhouses or shops designed to reflect the character of Bangalow. The eight-unit residential

use of the top storey is in conflict with the usage and function rights of the Bangalow public halls and meeting facilities such as the A&I Hall, the RSL Hall and the Masonic Hall, which are all in close proximity. As well as impinging on community facilities, the development would dominate the use of a laneway adjoining the school and the school’s function hall. This is a public laneway used by many locals and young school children, but the developer has submitted plans to put the entry to his underground car park in this laneway. One resident at the meeting expressed concern that skip trucks may also use this laneway to collect the weekly rubbish from the site. If an increase of rubbish bins were to line Station Street there would

Secondly, there is the guy who uses your money to invest for a return large enough for him to take a cut and return enough to you to keep you happy. That’s the banker, investment adviser et al. He needs to be watched closely because he will take all of it if he can. Then there’s the guy who takes your money and spends it on someone or something else and doesn’t return anything directly to you but gains an esoteric value himself. That’s the politician and he needs to be watched very closely indeed. So, when I see that the mayor is proclaiming that the council will resist the coming of KFC regardless of legal advice, I say ratepayers should be on red alert. While it is difficult to see that KFC will get their sign up in the dimensions desired, it seems equally obvious that, providing they meet the technical requirements of disposal of fat, odour,

parking, etc, they will get up their version of selling dead fowl. There are laws against discrimination for chrissake.

be even more concern about the impact on traffic movement, considering Station Street is not a through road. This development would at least quadruple the existing population of Station Street and parking near the village is already very limited. The developer did not include enough car parking spaces in his development plan but has tried to make up for this with developer ‘contributions’. These funds will not make up for the shortfall as there is no more land near the village suitable for car parking. We do not need any more impact on local businesses with a shortage of parking or increased traffic chaos. This would detract from the village atmosphere.

No fear from greening At the Brunswick Woodchop, a chopper had on his axe box a sign saying, ‘Greens cost jobs’. That is a fear based in not looking at the whole. If one looked at the whole, one would notice that industrialisation costs jobs. CEOs unashamedly reduce their workforce at every opportunity, and machinery is unambiguously produced to replace workers. The Luddites who smashed textile looms that threatened to replace their skilled labour knew of this as early as 1811. Sustainable agriculture requires more labour. To feed a nation moving into a postindustrial world, more labour

community. The strategy states clearly that any future development of the town’s heritage precinct, identified as Byron and Station Streets, should ‘retain the character and atmosphere of the village’. The strategy emphasises that any future development should be ‘managed’ to ensure the town’s ‘heritage’ value is maintained for future generations. It is the character and charm of Bangalow that locals value and want to protect. It is this village atmosphere that also attracts visitors into town and into the small shops and cafés. We have until the end of January to write our submissions to Council opposing the DA no. 10.2012 555.1 – request copies of your submission go to all councillors. Sue Taylor

Greening at its nth result, where families are settled rurally on blocks of land where they supply their own food, fibre and timber in concert with neighbours, is not a situation of unemployment; not a situation where one confronts the most dreaded of human feelings – that one is of no use to anyone. The irony is that, had axemen remained axemen and not become chainsaw men, the forests would have come down slower and they would still be employed. It is a pity that those who keep alive the skill of axemanship are sometimes unable to recognise that because they choose an older technology, whether they like it or not, they are involved in greening.

KFC concerns

I have a great deal of concern about the insidious moving in on the Byron food scene by KFC. I am not very computer literate, so I would like to know if there is anything happening, or being done, to stop this. Some councillors seem to be pro such a development, which I personally think is a disaster and will spoil the uniqueness of Byron, plus over the long term we will lose all the great little food shops which cannot afford to charge such low prices for food. KFC has such deep pockets and such buying power. Maybe we need to look at this in a different way and find out who is leasing their premises to KFC. I understand that people have to make a living from their investments but maybe there is an alternative. Would love to hear some news in the next Echo please. Between CSG and KFC, it is a battle.

The back-to-reality quiz To mark the end of the season of goodwill – and also to mark the arrival of our latest GM – I offer the following backto-reality quiz for The Echo’s readers. In each case the answer will be either ‘our elected councillors’ or ‘the unelected permanent staff ’. 1. Who decides whether a particular property owner is prosecuted for illegal development while another goes unhindered? 2. Who decides whether a search warrant will be issued against a particular property owner? 3. Who decides whether Mr Mills of Ocean Shores will be commissioned to take aerial photographs of a particular property? 4. Who decides whether a particular property owner will be dobbed in to the taxation department, Centrelink, the

electricity supply people or other authorities? 5. Who decides when a dangerous dog order will be issued and for what reason? 6. Who decides that urban holiday letters will be exempt from the above indignities? 7. Who decides how a court case will be run, whether it’s settled and who pays the costs? The answer, unfortunately, in each case is the ‘unelected permanent staff ’. True, the staff are obliged to report their activities in the agenda for ratification by the council, but the initiative originates from faceless men (and one woman) operating behind closed doors and offering no public reasons for their actions. It is not in the temperament of the average councillor to challenge the staff, and even if it were, the average councillor not only lacks the smarts to be effective

but is likely to be undermined by backsliders and fence-sitters within his/her own ranks. Butter wouldn’t melt in the mouths of the permanent staff and you really have to be sure of yourself to say ‘I don’t believe you’ or ‘this is dodgy work’. I point out that with all this malarky about ‘saving legal costs’ (which excuse has actually been around since when Adam and Eve were kids) is creating a tendency for councillors of their own initiative to approve anything that is applied for – with modifications, of course. The staff don’t resent this ‘interference’ because their basic attitude anyway has mainly been pro-development all along. If they have to prepare for less court cases for the same amount of salary why would they object?

Sacred site

cific Highway traffic heading up the hill towards Possum Creek Road, and pulled into the overtaking lane to pass a slower car. I steadied myself to the two lanes of trucks and cars that roared down the hill towards me. At that moment I saw with horror, silhouetted in the oncoming headlights, a koala running out on all fours across the highway, from the woody verge above the oncoming traffic, heading towards the Possum Creek side, and about to cross my path. I swerved and managed to pull over, feebly flashing my lights at the oncoming traffic. Minutes later I picked up a very lifeless koala and got it off the road. I can’t really describe the sadness I felt for the manner of death of this beautiful creature. It hasn’t ever left me. Please pass this info along and

be careful at dusk at this spot on the highway.

I felt sad and deeply affected when I saw that the new addition to our welcome sign (cheer up – slow down – chill out, with heart and peace symbols) as you drive into Byron Bay had been vandalised/damaged yet again. A few days prior I was walking on Main Beach feeling the absolute sacredness of this land, where many of us make our home. To me it feels like people (especially over the recent holiday season) have desecrated this sacred site, and continue to do so with little real awareness of how special this area is.

Impacts on Byron One thing that can sometimes appear in the letters section of The Echo is when people start to retaliate to one another on a personal level and, thankfully, it doesn’t get out of hand. On that note I must apologise for my bad choice of wording in my ‘virgin’ letter. It seems Magenta Appel-Pye thought I was quite wrong in saying that those who express themselves through the letters section were opinionated. You are correct and I stand corrected, Magenta. What I should have said is that these people are vocal and active in expressing those opinions, whatever they are, and my intention was that this is a positive trait of living continued opposite

Grail Quest Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the one-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 and craft. 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 a prerequisite for Steiner Teacher Training programs.

12 January 29, 2013 The Byron Shire Echo

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements. The Temperaments. The Origins of the Earth & Humanity. The Evolution of Consciousness. Christology. Biodynamics.

Within the embrace of natural beauty Story & photo Mary Gardner

Each day, the beauty of the world raises me from my sleep with a dawn chorus. Its sea washes my body and cleans my spirit. The fierce summer sun warms my bones and would cook my skin but vegetation of every type shades me, thickening the air with the scent of gum tree blossoms. From Tallow Creek to Belongil, from Nuthungulli (Julian Rocks) over the top of Paterson Street hill, the place holds me close in my daily rounds of work and play. This circle game is repeated again and again with each of us, in exquisite place by place, right across this landscape of northern rivers. Even in the dark, under the stars, we can all sense ourselves as if within an embrace of sorts. What is the name for this? This sense of beauty has form, function and even meaning. We try to understand consciously, using a language of aesthetics. This is Greek for ‘sensitive, perceptive’ and philosophers discuss our senses and perceptions and even those of other species. In the 1750s, the German philosopher Baumgartner used aesthetics to mean critiques of taste: fashion, architecture and landscapes. This double meaning still muddles our thinking. Much work of twentieth century scholars, artists, filmmakers and musicians aimed to clear up this up. So today, we can talk about a ‘sense of place’. Yan Xu of the East Saint Louis Action Research Group explains this is ‘a sense of the beauty and the wealth of the phenomena that comprise a particular place’. He adds a sense of place is characteristic of people who are in keeping with or congruent

with land and water. This local experience and knowledge is developed over time. Tim Flannery says most of Australia is now dominated by a culture with barely two hundred years of local experience, overriding another with a much longer experience. As a society we have much to learn. First we must learn ‘carrying capacity’. Although often said to be the population a place can support, that’s only half the idea. The other part is what people of a place do with place that enhances or degrades its life-supporting qualities. Comparing human effort in landscapes across cultures and time, scientists now identify ‘socio-ecologic landscape productions’ (SELPs). A key characteristic of many successful SELPs over the centuries is beauty. Think of picturesque village life in many parts of the world. They may feature a crop such as taro, corn, rice or wheat. They may revolve

around migrating animals such as reindeer, buffalo or salmon. In the northern rivers, our sense of SELP is still raw and we are learning the hard way. Floods and collapse of wildlife populations are teaching us that clearing all the forests is harmful. Parks and reserves, restoration, corridors and social structures such as LEPs are our collective attempts to heal. Water pollution backfires against us. We know the damage caused by our poisons, our carelessness with fertile soil and our disturbances of acid sulphates in wetlands. So radical changes in land-use practice are becoming our new norms. With each lesson learned, we also protect and enhance beauty. We, and many of our visitors, appreciate that we are a landscape of communities, hubs of simple pleasures, connected by vistas and panoramas as much as by roads. Our sense of place holds many histories of our work to pro-

tect and enhance the beauty on which we rely materially and emotionally. This is why, to my mind, the science is in about coalseam gas mining. Its very infrastructure is a network of industry across place. Each node of drills and pumps is connected by kilometres of pipelines which fragment the landscape. Nodes are set every 500m to two kilometres. Waste is left everywhere. All nodes are serviced by heavy trucking. Noisy, noxious, 24/7, set as close as 200 metres from any home or building – this is ugly. It is an assault against sense of place. In defence, networks of communities in the northern rivers and beyond are locking gates against CSG. Is more research to be done? Then let it be about how beauty develops such a powerful sense of place in humans.

in Byron Shire. I have decided to join you all in getting my opinions out there and heard rather than keeping them to myself. That brings me to today’s topic. Over recent weeks we have all heard or read about the impending application to build a KFC in the Bay. Now, please don’t misunderstand my intent here. I am not for a KFC being in Jonson Street but I feel compelled to ‘say my bit’ in support of some of our longstanding established businesses. Maybe I missed an edition of The Echo in recent months but what about Bunnings coming to town and the effect that will have on our image. Bunnings is the KFC and McDonald’s of hardware, building supplies, outdoor and camping goods, nurseries and pavers all rolled into one behemoth and it’s rolling down St Helena towards our ‘alternative, family-friendly and

unique holiday destination’. The emergence of Bunnings in our Arts & Industry Estate could or will mean the demise of possibly five long-established businesses in Byron Bay and more, perhaps further afield in Mullumbimby and Bangalow and surrounding areas. KFC in Byron will be another franchise ‘nail in our coffin’ for sure and will take a slice of the takeaway food pie (pardon the pun) that can be hard fought for by our cafes and eateries but I do see them as predominantly catering to the backpacker and daytripping younger set that want a quick feed without thought about nutritional value. Bunnings’ Chinese and Australian suppliers cover a huge range and businesses such as Byron Bay Building Materials, Williams Building Supplies, Leisurescapes, Mitre 10 (all towns), Eden at Byron & Byron Camping & Disposal Stores will all be targeted by

Bunnings product ranges. We need to act on this as a priority and preferably both have to be stopped from coming to town. Let me state that Bunnings has been privy to my consumer dollar over the years and we, as consumers, will usually tend to vote with our pockets but I am happy to do that, only when in Tweed or Ballina.

–Avaaz.org – with almost 18 million members; it will gladden your heart. That youth fall for the powerful liquor, fast-food and good-times advertising by the media moghuls is the fault of preceding generations who permit it to happen, not the fault of the victims. We also allowed the selloff of the people’s banks and insurance companies and look at the mess that that has caused for them. It is the older generation who make the money from fracking, from carbon pollution and climate change. Fifteen-year-olds do not know what we had and they have lost. And that is our fault.

rael and Egypt. It remains the case today, and the aid, largely military, has not advanced the stated cause of expanding democracy and peace in the Middle East. Instead with a debt level estimated as 107 per cent of GDP the Obama administration has seen only the growing alienation of the surrounding nations, the overthrow of their friendly dictator in Egypt and his replacement by a reinvigorated Muslim Brotherhood and the sidelining of the genuine democratic and social reform movement in several Middle Eastern countries. Israel has a much lower level of national debt, has been of no assistance in the Iraq war, and has alienated the majority

of the United Nations, leaving the US in a tiny minority in its failure to recognise the injustice of the Palestinian situation. In its ongoing program occupying Palestinian land the Netanyahu government is thumbing its nose at the frustrated Obama administration, whose first-term project to seek peace and justice in the Middle East is even further from solution than it was at the beginning of his term. In negotiation of budget cuts necessary to reverse the expanding deficit, attention to the failed foreign policies could refocus attention on what aid actually wins friends rather than alienates other nations.

Democracy and its obligations

dorsement of compulsory voting would not have been complete without the banal admonition that ‘democracy imposes obligations’ – on the electors I guess, not the elected. He supports this position with a lengthy quote from Barnaby Joyce. It’s no surprise that a political apparatchik would support compulsory voting, since it relieves professional politicians of the need to gain or maintain a popular mandate. The threat of penalty alone ensures the consent of the masses is readPeggy Balfour ily obtained. Let’s face it, if you don’t buy Mullumbimby Don Brown the official 9/11 conspiracy Bangalow Q Mungo’s wholehearted en- theory and its fraudulent terQ Mungo explained our Australian system of compulsory preferential voting very well (Echo, January 8). Thank you, Mungo. However, voting is not compulsory. Only turning up at a polling booth to have your name checked off the electoral register is compulsory. If you take a serious interest in politics and intend to vote responsibly just remember the vote of the knuckle-dragging yobbo who doesn’t give a shit is just as valid as yours under our compulsory voting system.

ror war narrative, if you’re opposed to illegal wars, errant corporatism and rampant ecocide, if you doubt the wisdom of industrial development and neoliberal economics, if you want honesty, integrity and accountability from government, it doesn’t matter who you vote for, you’re not going to get representation. You’ve been deliberately disenfranchised by a system designed to preserve the status quo. If you’ve come to the conclusion that government is little more than a lie factory, a glorified protection racket, a sophisticated form of organised crime, why would you give

it your consent? If you don’t fancy being forced to vote for sophists and party stooges, if you don’t want to participate in a pointless popularity contest, why bother? In a real democracy, the decision not to vote is just as valid as the decision to vote. It says to the government, I don’t give my consent, you don’t act in my name, I’m not complicit in your crimes. The denial of this option seems to me to be an undue constraint of my political rights and a patronising imposition by overbearing busybodies. John Scrivener

Greenland ice core records provide a vision of the future, says CSIRO research In a paper published last Thursday in the journal Nature, scientists described how they have used a 2,540 metre long Greenland ice core to reach back to the Eemian period 115–130 thousand years ago and reconstruct the Greenland temperature and ice sheet extent back through the last interglacial. This period is likely to be comparable in several ways to climatic conditions in the future, especially the mean global surface temperature, but without anthropogenic or human influence on the atmos-

pheric composition, according to the CSIRO. The Eemian period is referred to as the last interglacial, when warm temperatures continued for several thousand years due mainly to the earth’s orbit allowing more energy to be received from the sun. The world today is considered to be in an interglacial period and that has lasted 11,000 years, and called the Holocene. ‘The research results provide new benchmarks for climate and ice sheet scenarios used by scientists in projecting

future climate influences,’ says CSIRO’s Dr Mauro Rubino, the Australian scientist working with the North Greenland Eemian ice core research project. ‘The ice is an archive of past climate and analysis of the core is giving us pointers to the future when the world is likely to be warmer.’ Dr Rubino says the Greenland ice sheet is presently losing mass more quickly than the Antarctic ice sheet. Of particular interest is the extent of the Greenland continental

ice sheet at the time of the last interglacial and its contribution to global sea level. Deciphering the ice core archive proved especially difficult for ice layers formed during the last interglacial because, being close to bedrock, the pressure and friction due to ice movement impacted and rearranged the ice layering. These deep layers were ‘reassembled’ in their original sequence using careful analysis, particularly of concentrations of trace gases that tie the dating to the more reliable Ant-

arctic ice core records. Using dating techniques and analysing the water stable isotopes (d18O-H2O), the scientists estimated the warmest Greenland surface temperatures during the interglacial period about 130,000 years ago were 8Âą4oC degrees warmer than the average of the last 1,000 years. At the same time, the thickness of the Greenland ice sheet decreased by 400Âą250 metres. ‘The findings show a modest response of the Greenland ice sheet to the significant

warming in the early Eemian and lead to the deduction that Antarctica must have contributed significantly to the six-metre higher Eemian sea levels. Additionally, ice core data at the drilling site reveal frequent melt of the ice sheet surface during the Eemian period. ‘During the exceptional heat over Greenland in July 2012 melt layers formed at the site. With additional warming, surface melt might become more common in the future,’ the authors said.

Justine Elliot says STOP CSG Mining on the North Coast

“

It’s time to draw a line in the sand on the important environmental issue of coal-seam gas mining.

We know the community’s view. It is clear. Our community does not want coal-seam gas mining. I call on the National Party state MPs to tell the O’Farrell government that our community needs a moratorium on CSG on the north coast. The ball is totally in their court: the state government regulates and licenses coal-seam gas mining; and they can stop it dead.

LOCAL ROOTS OUTFIT THE LUCKY WONDERS HAVE BEEN HERALDED BY THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD AS ONE OF THE BEST BANDS IN THE GENRE PLAYING THE CIRCUIT. ON THEIR RETURN FROM A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN TOUR, INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED SONGWRITING TEAM EMMA ROYLE AND JESSIE VINTILA, FRONTWOMEN FOR INDIE/ FOLK FOUR-PIECE THE LUCKY WONDERS, HAVE RELEASED LAY DOWN MY ARMS, A LUSH COLLECTION OF WARM, SUPERBLY CRAFTED SONGS, CO-PRODUCED AND ENGINEERED BY ARIA WINNER GOVINDA DOYLE (ANGUS AND JULIA STONE). Tell me a little about what you set out to achieve when you recorded Lay Down My Arms? We wanted to please ourselves, take some risks, and for the songs to build more dramatically. The other big goal was a lush, warm, more atmospheric sound. Why did you choose Govinda Doyle to co-produce and engineer? He’d worked on Jetplane with Angus and Julia and we’re huge fans of their production, for the way it kind of envelopes you in its mood, and is simple music with great use of sonic layers to create atmosphere. What are the songs on the album that you are proudest of? Valium & Your Arms, Surrender, and Sand & the Sea. Vocally I really had some adventures and there is so much love in all three of them. Valium is my favourite production. Are there any that surprised you? Walk With Me went full circle – we wrote it in about 10 minutes – and it was unique in being a pure collaboration between the two of us. No-one needed moments alone with their muse; the muse was happy to have a three-way conversation all the way through! It sounded like a single when we wrote it but then it kind of got overshadowed by the big dramatic ballads. Then we met a filmmaker in France who picked it out immediately to make a video clip, which we did, and the next day we found out Triple J was playing it. What do you think it is about Emma and Jessie that makes such a well-oiled songwriting machine? JESSIE: It’s a freaky miracle if you ask me; I don’t know! With lyrics I guess it’s a compatible worldview, similar beliefs about navigating life and its challenges. Musically it’s the differences that I love – I have a strong melodic ear and really conventional harmonic habits, and Emma has a much more twisted take on chords and rhythms, so between us we have a lot to draw from. How do the two of you collaborate on songs? Is it hard to take feedback on something as precious as a newly crafted song? JESSIE: Sometimes, but mostly it’s brilliant to have an editor you respect, and who can actually fill in the gaps when you’re stuck. Over time I’ve learned to trust Emma’s input even if I don’t always like

it straightaway, because time has shown me the ideas settle in to feeling right. It’s like The Lucky Wonders is a third entity in the process and we both know we’ll only get to hear its ideas if we work together and not fixate on our own. It’s not something we can make separately. It’s pretty magical. How was the European tour? EMMA: It was such a treat. We had some wonderful shows, and audiences there take listening very seriously – even when they can’t understand the lyrics! But really the music was an excuse for the Bratwurst tour of Germany – there’s a different sausage in every town! You’ve been called ‘One of the Best roots bands playing the circuit’ – how does a band from Byron Shire gain such national acclaim? EMMA: We’ve done a fair few laps of this country now! We’re also focusing more on playing shows that honour songwriting and ‘listening crowds’. We’ve done that because it feeds our souls, and it’s incredibly rewarding to find that our audiences are right there with us. What keeps you going creatively? JESSIE: Finding a balance between working in the business side of music and just living in this beautiful world, and playing music

for its own sake. It’s easy for that to get out of whack, like any career-balancing act. We often get inspired on the plane on the way home from somewhere; there’s something about the journey home. I wrote the lyrics for Sand & the Sea on the plane, and recently we cooked up a video clip and single idea on a flight home. Emma was making origami dinosaurs, and it went from there. What should we expect for your local show? EMMA: You can expect Jessie to be a bit off her rocker with excitement as she tends to get at a good homecrowd gig. We’ve brought together our favourite local musicians as well as our good friend Cat Kohn from Melbourne on strings and accordion. Of course we’re cooking up some surprise collaborations, which are likely to send Jessie even farther out to the nether regions of happy land, so bring an umbrella and get ready to sail away like Mary Poppins. Lucky Wonders launch their new album at the Courthouse in Mullumbimby with special guests Rebecca Ireland, Starboard Cannons, Garrett Kato. Saturday. 7pm. $15 at the door.

I wish I was choosing new subjects, and that I was looking forward to a brand new year of new teachers, new subjects, new ideas. Maybe new friends. New kids to bully. New kids to bully me.

See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au BACK TO SCHOOL It’s my favourite time of year, Back to School. After six weeks of watching my brood relax all over the furniture in rooms all over the house, trailing socks, underpants, iPods, computers, iPhones, chip packets and hangeron-ers, while poor downtrodden Mother provided clean socks, fresh underwear, chargers for mobile devices, sandwiches and transfers into Byron, it’s finally time to line up at the gates of the education institution. Back to the sausage factory for my darling meaty bites. See if they can’t try and fashion some sort of suave compliant saveloy out of my crazy boundless rissoles. While the kids moan about having to do outrageous things like wake up, get dressed and be subjected to someone else’s rules (I mean, how dare they!) I feel strange. I try to track the feeling. Am I depressed? Am I excited? No. I am jealous. I wish I was going back to school. I wish I was trying on new uniforms and pushing my fat feet into brand new navy socks. I wish I was rubbing black polish into my leather school shoes. I wish I was rinsing out my new lunch box and drink bottle. I even wish I was arguing with my mother about the length of

EARTHGIRL BRAT AT THE RAILS This ‘Earthgirl brat from the hippie hills of Nimbin’ (Christie Eliezer) is ‘A major talent’ (Juice). The death of her mother when she was a baby, and the abuse that she endured as a child, has created in Diana Anaid a will to survive and a passionate honesty that infuses her songs and live performances. Her music possesses what Rolling Stone describes as an ‘emotional and sometimes primal energy’. It is as if all she has survived has removed any fear of total emotional surrender to the music. Diana sent her self-made debut album to popular radio station Triple J in 1997, kick starting her career with a bang with the national hit I Go Off. With the release of 1999’s I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant there were more rave reviews as the music of a ‘Different kind of girl power’ (Music Network) flooded the airwaves. Discovered by USA producer/record label owner Paul Palmer (No Doubt/Bush) in 2003, 2004 saw the release of album number three, Beautiful Obscene, which was iTunes’ Top 10 Best Pop Music CD of 2004 reaching number one on AOL radio charts and coming in the Top 10 US Net Music Countdown, garnering a listening audience of more than 40 million. Diana has toured America five times since, performing in legendary venues The

I didn’t realise how much I loved school, and how that part of my life is so clearly gone forever. I sneak out the kid’s school stuff. I push my face into the pungent vinyl of an empty pencil case and my stomach leaps. Ah, the smell of plastic and promise that says yes, this pencil case exists, brand new, frozen in that moment before the arrival of the pencils. It’s so pungent it makes me cry. I look at the pencils. There they are all lined up like rainbow soldiers. As a child it used to break my heart to release them from their cardboard rank into the anarchy of a ziplocked receptacle. Dark blue no longer rubbing shoulders with his best mate light blue. Arch enemies purple and green bumping around in the unconfined chaos. I can’t even touch the eraser, just the look of it makes my skin prickle with excitement. Is there no greater joy than a brand-new unpencilled eraser? The remover of mistakes. Just one soft rub and all trace of human error is gone. Oh god I wish I had a life eraser. I would have held it above my numerous bad relationships and just rubbed that stupid boyfriend out. The kids aren’t interested in their back-to-school booty; they’re on the internet downloading episodes of Family Guy. I hold the brand-new

gleaming white rectangular cube of white rubber and bite into it. It’s so weirdly satisfying. I feel rubber on enamel. The taste is familiar, it makes me want to puke. I dry it off then I put it in my daughter’s pencil case. Then there’s the books. Brand new paper. Blank paper just sitting in readiness for learning. I love new paper. Like a landing pad for language. I love the ruler. I imagine all the things I could measure. Well, all the things 30cm and under. I could start right here in this house. My husband is upstairs. I look for the Kent set. Oh how I loved a new protractor. I would often sneak the compass into my room and draw circles all over my sheets. I wish I’d had a glue stick when I was a kid. Kids these days don’t realise how good they’ve got it, glue in a lipstick. Get out of here. We suffered. Glue didn’t come in sticks. It came in small tubs like Perkins Paste or Clag and had to be administered with an applicator. It was messy. It would erupt in your desk like an eager teenage boy, leaving sticky white globules on your dictionary and ruining your gilt-edged bible. I wish I was packing my bag with my new books and sharpening my new pencils. Perhaps I will. Watch out world, Mandy Nolan is going back to school.

BÖHLEN AT THE BOWLIN’ CLUB

First showing up on the international radar back in 2010 after appearing at Iceland’s renowned Airwaves Festival, the critical response to Of Monsters and Men was positive from the start. Shortly after, a huge buzz began generating across North America and Europe, culminating in their 2012 SXSW shows being one of the most coveted. From there, the Icelandic six-piece have been wowing audiences across the continents, covering the summer festival circuit including Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Reading / Leads, Newport Folk Festival, Pukklepop and Outside Lands amongst others. Their music carries a dynamic live energy mixed with folk charm and fist-pumping choruses. Wielding the catchiest of tunes, the accordions, glockenspiels and horns offer something uplifting and atmospheric, all underpinned by electric guitars, creating an expansive dimension to their sound. Lyrically, their elaborately crafted blend of modern folk-rock tells stories of nature, love and mysticism. Thursday at the Hotel Great Northern. For tickets go to www.oztix.com.au.

JUST A BUNCH OF DEAD BEATS Playing garage-flavoured, sun-bleached, flower-punk rock with a hip-shakin’ surf twist, a little messed-up and an authentic rawness in their delivery that is catchy as all hell, make Dead Beat Band exciting to watch. This three-piece outfit from the Gold Coast formed in late 2009, consisting of Mickey Mandrusiak on lead vocals/bass, Joey Treasure

roots and bluegrass mixed with pop and electronica with blues and folk and you’re getting closer‌ but with heroes as disparate as Bill Monroe, the Strokes, Radiohead and the Aphex Twin what comes out is something altogether different: engaging, musical and fun. Live, Innes performs on three instruments – guitar, dobro and mandolin. With these instruments, looper pedal, pedal keyboard and his own voice, he has created a marriage between his imagination and his instruments; expect a high-energy show from a one-man band that will leave you wondering. You have not seen this before. At the Rails on Monday.

ARE YOU O KAYE? After many years earning a reputation as a high-energy performer and adroit multi-instrumentalist both nationally and internationally at festivals small and large, including Glastonbury Festival (UK) and Splendour In the Grass, as well as playing onstage and jamming with many of the industry’s best musicians like John Butler, Pete Murray and even Darren Percival as well as with players from The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown, Machine Translations, Tijuana Cartel and more, Kaye has long established himself as one of Australia’s most engaging live acts. These shows are no different, except that he’ll also be experimenting with some great new tunes for his forthcoming album. At the Rails on Thursday.

RICHIE AT THE BEACHIE Having just returned from a stint at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, local singer, songwriter and guitarist Richie Williams will be launching his latest EP at the Beach Hotel on Thursday. Richie has co-written the album with Murray Burns (Mi-Sex, The Party Boys) at Studio 301 and describes their music as ‘surf, soul and funk concoctions’. The songs are hopelessly infectious, driven by husky vocals, captivating melodies, quirky heartfelt lyrics and their signature funk grooves. Richie will be performing with a five-piece band at the Beach Hotel from 8pm. Expect an evening of unique funk soul jams and indie rock pop that you can’t help but get down and groove to.

MIDNIGHT AT THE OASIS OF THE BREWERY A rockin’ blues acoustic guitar accompanied by a Slash-style electric makes for an epic rock-and-roll collective. Evan, Jarryd and Grant blast off both barrels of the shotgun with their howling melodies, pumping beats and engaging harmonies.

Their explosive live shows will make you dance like Mick Jagger and sweat like Clive Palmer! Saturday at the Byron Brewery, 7pm. Free Entry.

O HELL IT’S OKELL The Australian music scene has had a long history of uncovering phenomenal talent and the occasional larrikin. Marshall Okell is one man who embodies both attributes. Back performing under his own name, Marshall Okell will be bringing a new band and new sound to audiences all over the world. Dedicated to a life on the road, Marshall Okell is known for his crowd-rousing and energetic live performances as the frontman and creative drive behind the crowd-pleasing Marshall & The Fro.

FIND YOUR FORTUNE AT THE BILLI This Friday come and see Jezabels Fortune at The Billinudgel Hotel. This band really has an excellent pedigree, featuring Geoff Wright on guitar, a rhythm section consisting of Lenny Ryan on drums, Johnny Harris on bass with Grant Robertson on piano and Lyne Davis bringing along her award-winning vocals. Also there’s Teddy; he doesn’t actually do anything but because he’s a perfect labradoodle and the word pedigree was mentioned he wanted his name included. 8.30pm.

CUT AND PASTE W DJ YODA 10 years on from the first instalment of his seminal How To Cut & Paste series, DJ Yoda’s Chop Suey is a coming-of-age album, realising his songwriting and production talent amid a star-studded album of classic hip-hop and dance influences. ‘The chop suey dish was created by Chinese immigrants in the States, trying to recreate their food from whatever was available,’ he explains, ‘and that’s my approach to hip-hop. I use records, samples, vocalists I have access to, whatever – I can make something new.’ His shows are peppered with film, TV and YouTube samples and visuals that lift his sets to new and stratospheric heights‌ prompting Q magazine to declare him ‘one of the ten DJs to see before you die’! Check him out before you get on the critical list – at La La Land in Byron on Friday.

I spend a lot of my time wondering what happens when I die, what is it all going to turn out like?

Hemphill met bass player Bob Jefferson in first grade shortly after returning from Africa. Later in high school the two connected with Ryan Berty (drums), Patrick O’Shea (keyboards) and Ken Brownell (percussion). They’ve been playing that lineup since 1997. ‘We started with everything, rock and hip-hop, then we found reggae and we thought this is music you can change the world with.’ ‘We focus on talking to the next generation.

NECKING YOURSELF INNES CAMPBELL AT THE World-famous improvising RAILS ON MONDAY legends and one of Australia’s greats cult bands, The Necks, return home for their much-anticipated annual Australian tour. Renowned for creating immersive, hypnotic concert experiences over two completely improvised onehour sets, Chris Abrahams (piano) Lloyd Swanton (bass) and Tony Buck (drums/ percussion) slowly conjure sound mountains out of thin air that leave audiences mesmerised. The Necks’ commitment to the simple concept of truly ‘letting the music take care of itself’ is at the core of their unique sound and their ability to constantly create exciting, engrossing music for themselves and their audiences. No two Necks concerts are the same. So stick yours out and see them. The New York Times called them ‘one of the greatest bands in the world’. And they’re at the Byron Community Centre. How lucky are we! Wednesday 6 February – tickets www.byroncentre.com.au.

RISING LIKE THE SUN Progressive surf-roots rockers Band of Frequencies have played all over the world with the likes of Donovan Frankenreiter, John Butler, Angus Stone and Ash Grunwald; as well as some of the world’s most amazing festivals and events, among them the Billabong ‘Banzai’ Pipe Masters, Hawaii; North Shore Surf Film Festival, Hawaii; Surf & Sound Tour, Japan. Not to mention some of Australia’s premier festivals: Splendour in the Grass, Mullum Music Festival and Woodford Folk Festival. True believers in sounds beyond boundaries, Band of Frequencies draw their influences from a vast spectrum of roots, rock, electronic and psychedelic styles. Their signature blend comes from years of live experimentation, constantly pushing their influences into the creative fires to see what melts, what explodes and what merges. They have now successfully forged a bond of sonic elements that represents their coastal roots and strikes a chord in the hearts of passionate music lovers around the globe. It’s this quality that has led to invitations to grace the stages of diverse festivals, at home and abroad, and to record soundtracks to several internationally released surf films. The name Band of Frequencies refers to the concept that each person vibrates at a certain frequency with the lowest being fear and hate and the highest being love and compassion. ‘Like radio and TV stations, we also broadcast our particular band of frequencies at any given moment. We are just a Band of Freq’s doing our thing to raise the collective frequency through sound,’ explains lead singer/ songwriter Shannon Sol Carroll. Band of Frequencies’ 2012 album release Rise like the Sun is a potent and honest collection of songs that speak volumes about their intriguing journey. Lead singer/songwriter Shannon Sol Carroll says, ‘This album represents an evolution towards truth and a documentation of all the stages along the way. From devastating heartbreak, through escapism and self-protection into letting go, facing fears, stepping up BAND OF FREQUENCIES and truly loving AT THE HOTEL GREAT whole-heartedly, NORTHERN ON FRIDAY this album is the most raw and complete reflection of life’s experiences I have ever written by far.’ Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

This take-charge week sparks a barrage of dramatic interactions about who’s the boss – and of what…?

E ARIES: The present fixed-sign emphasis indicates a need for patience on your part, Aries. In control issues or power plays, aim for achieving collaboration through co-operation rather than insistence. By lateweek Libra moon order should be restored, or else a new order sorted. F TAURUS: As the forces of change give us all a makeover, this week’s rearrangements feature a cast of angsty types taking up all available attention. But being reactive will only aggravate difficult situations, so broker outcomes where everyone gets at least some of what they want. G GEMINI: Significant wins are in the cards if you handle this week’s dummy spits and emotional histrionics with dignity and diplomacy, and respect communication protocols – something that gets easier when midweek Jupiter moves direct in Gemini, injecting energy and clarity into home and work disputes. H CANCER: Looks like the coming week could unfortunately be overstocked with the fraught and distraught, the edgy and irritable. While that’s unavoidable, what you can choose is to spend time with friends on the supportive, optimistic side of the spectrum rather than high-maintenance, uber-stressy ones.

AN AFTERNOON WITH THE MAGISTRATE

THE MAGISTRATE PRESENTED BY NATIONAL THEATRE WITH JOHN LITHGOW STREAMING LIVE TO THE PALACE BYRON BAY CINEMA ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

While American actor John Lithgow is well known to TV and cinema audiences for his featured roles in productions as diverse as Shrek, Terms of Endearment, Dexter, 3rd Rock From the Sun – and 30 Rock – he is also an accomplished stage actor, appearing on Broadway in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and winning a Tony award for his role in The Changing Room. His latest role in The Magistrate sees Lithgow playing a respectable Victorian husband, stepfather and magistrate, whose life gets turned on its head when a lady tells a white lie about her age and suddenly a whole family is embroiled in a night of misunderstandings, hair-raising discoveries and frantic escapes from the law. This uproarious comedy is presented by Britain’s National Theatre and screens at Palace Byron Bay Cinema on Saturday and Sunday, at 1pm.

Can you explain the success of RMG – has it taken you guys by surprise as well? We can’t really explain the success of the band. My guess is that because we enjoy ourselves playing live on stage it comes across in our music. Tell me a little about the new album? Why did you choose Anthony Lycenko as producer? The new album is titled Getting There Is Only Halfway Back, which is one of the songs on the album. We are releasing it at Bluesfest in March. The songs are a little moodier than our previous two albums and I reckon it is the best material we’ve done to date. Anthony Lycenko is engineering and producing the album. He has been fantastic to work with and has pushed the band sonically on this album. What did you set out to achieve in the recording? To capture the energy of our live show and create new music that both we love to play and people like to hear. How close did you get? I’m happy! It is always a little nervewracking when you put anything new out there because, after all, we have lovingly created each song and we want people to like it. Anthony used some really cool techniques when recording the drums and bass to give the album some nice textures and our lead vocalist Chris Eaton almost erupted at one point, hitting some awesomely high notes! How do you keep up the writing? Are you all voracious when it comes to the songwriting end? Chris Eaton and I do most of the writing, but Rex Carter our drummer has added his own flavour

BOOK REVIEWS Down Under Magic by Bill Silvester Review by Keith Martin A friend of mine recommended Down Under Magic to me as an extremely good read. The book details the history of skin- and SCUBA-diving in Australia and tells of one man’s journey in firstly overcoming his fear of water and secondly overcoming the fears associated with pioneering the strange yet beautiful underwater world. Although I have never dived myself, I was thoroughly engrossed in the autobiography, the history of the multitude of shipwrecks located around the Australian coast, and the dangers exposed in exploring these wrecks in very dangerous waters around the infamous rip near the entrance of Port Phillip Bay. His detailed experiences in experimenting with explosives to blow up the engines of shipwrecks to obtain the non-ferrous material newly exposed makes compelling reading. I was fascinated to read the chapter on Cheviot beach – the beach that claimed former prime minister Harold Holt way back in 1967. Interestingly,t Bill was photographed with Harold Holt at a spearfishing symposium a few years earlier. Bill, with friend David Perry, explains how they were able to put to rest the controversy surrounding the prime minister’s disappearance. I was inspired as I read of Bill’s overcoming his fear of water following

two harrowing experiences in his youth, his close encounter with a bronze whaler shark, and of his perseverance to further the sport despite many harrowing, neardeath experiences. His dedication in taking a sport new to Australia to the formation of the first skindiving club and to become one of the first SCUBA-diving instructors in the country. White-knuckle descriptions of boat trips to the Kent group of islands, detailed descriptions of near-death experiences as things go wrong under water, and the descriptions of this beautiful yet unforgiving environment makes Down Under Magic a compelling and powerful read.

Dragonkeeper By Carole Wilkinson Review by Jasmin Burke-Smith Imagine having no name, becoming best friends with a rat and a dragon, and running away from the only place you have ever known to go on a journey, leaving everything behind to save your friend. The question is: would you do it? In ancient China’s Han Dynasty, a slave girl is being cruelly treated by her master. After saving the life of the last imperial dragon she escapes her merciless master and embarks on a journey to a place she has never even heard of. The girl, along with her friends Hua (the rat) and Long Danzi (the dragon), must take a mysterious stone with her to a magical place: the ocean.

to the album as well this time – Ringo style! Chris and I both are continually writing lyrics and coming up with new riffs and melodies – it’s kind of addictive. I might hear someone say something in conversation or tell a funny story and then that leads to a spiral of ideas. We were on our way to a gig about five hours from here and as we hit the road the bass player Chris Willoughby said, ‘Getting There Is Only Halfway Back’. I thought that was cool and wrote a song based around my feelings of constantly travelling at that particular moment in time. Playing a brand-new song for the first time on stage and watching people go off is one of the greatest feelings! What should we expect for your Beach Hotel and Brunswick Hotel shows? We will be freshly back from Tamworth Country Music Festival and will be road-testing some of the material from the new album. The Beachy and Bruns are our favourite places to play. Round Mountain Girls play the Beach Hotel on Friday and Hotel Brunswick on Sunday.

The girl soon finds that she does have a name and learns some important lessons such as: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This book is a very good read with twists of excitement and friends along the way! I would recommend this book to anyone ten or older as it is an excellent book and I love it. Thank you, Carole Wilkinson!

The Rosie Project By Graeme Simsion Review by JH I really enjoyed reading this book. I laughed and smiled my way through the pages. The characters were very likeable. Professor of genetics, Don is an awkward genius and an obsessively fit 39-year-old who plans to find a suitable wife. He designs a questionnaire, sixteen pages long, scientifically researched, to find himself the perfect partner. He then dates women and mentally ticks off answers to his questionnaire. I have watched the TV show Big Bang Theory a few times and Don reminds me of the Sheldon character on that show. Don’s best friends have an open marriage. He has dinner with them regularly and they offer their views, some very funny dinner

conversations. Rosie, another unusual, quirky, funny and intelligent character, also plays a big part in the story. She is on a quest to find her biological father, and Don the DNA expert helps her. Some funny situations develop where they are trying to collect DNA from males that are on Rosie’s list of biological fathers – hilarious. It is a clever light read and I highly recommend it.

The Lords & The New Creatures By Jim Morrison Review by Kathryn Lyster Jim Morrison is a god. He is also the one person from history I would like to meet. I know it’s not logical, there are people who made much greater contributions, but for me – it’s Jim. I’m sure you are well acquainted with the music of The Doors, and the poetic lyricism he injects into those songs. Well, his poetry is equally reality warping, kaleidoscopic and heat filled. The Lords and the New Creatures was first published in 1969 and it captures the surreal world James Douglas Morrison inhabited. His commentary of society is bleak and daring, but it is simultaneously magical and connected. Words slide down the pages like syrup, unhinged and sensual: ‘The alchemists detect in the sexual activity of man a correspondence with the world’s creation, with the growth of plants, and with the mineral formations. When they see the union of rain and earth, they see it in an erotic sense, as copulation. And this extends

to all realms of natural matter. For they can picture love affairs of chemicals and stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire.’ The brilliance leaves you feeling raw, like you are somehow a little more exposed, a little more open and somehow a little closer to death and your own mortality. These poems do not nurture you or allow you to softly open. No, they rip through you like fire. For all that we know of Jim – the drugs, the volatility, the inner and outer turmoil – he lived wildly, and I am grateful that he did. We need people who tear at the seams, who dip into alternate realms and bring something back for the rest of us to feast on. There are sages, shamans, p ro p h e t s and wisdom-keepers who don’t wear white; they wear black leather pants. They explore the darkness, touch places we are afraid to go, they leap into the void and dance with their demons. Perhaps that is their role, and maybe there is another place that calls them, where there are no limits or boundaries like skin and bone to contain them. The Lords and the New Creatures is an inspiring offering that will take you to new landscapes and give you a glimpse of something fast burning. It captures an era, a creative genius and an enigmatic persona that is still speaking to us, from beyond the grave.

cinema reviews Quartet If I could be assured that, in my dotage, I will be shunted off to an old people’s home that is anything like the one in which this cosy and endearing piece is set, I would not dread the approach of my twilight years nearly so much – being in the charge of a caring, beautiful blonde doctor (Sheridan Smith) wouldn’t be entirely objectionable either. Beecham House (after Sir Thomas, the famous conductor), a gorgeous stone manor surrounded by what

looks like a manicured Capability Brown landscape, is the last port of call for retired classical musicians. I did not believe for one minute that Billy Connolly (as Wilf) might one day have been an opera singer of renown, but it’s a piffling matter, for he, in ensemble with Tom Courtenay (Reggie), Pauline Collins (Cissy) and Maggie Smith (Jean), are all on-song and playing to type.

brought occurred in ‘our’ region, it is even more surprising that it has finally arrived as a Spanish production. The movie is based on the book written by María Belón, a physician, who, with her husband and three sons, survived the disaster that struck while they were holidaying in Thailand. In this she is played with painstaking faithfulness by Naomi Watts, who has deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for her efforts. But, unavoidably, a film of this nature is restricted by its subject matter. We know exactly what happened and only the most dim-witted would not expect for it to be a classic exercise in the ‘indomitable human spirit’ genre – and that is not meant as a criticism. Director Juan Antonio Bayona and scriptwriter Sergio G Sánchez have succeeded admirably in bringing the drama to life without bogging down in repetition or cheap sensationalism. Aided in no small way by the remarkable technology now available to filmmakers, the event itself and its mind-boggling aftermath are shot with horrifying realism. Badly injured and separated from husband Henry (Ewan The Impossible McGregor) and their two infant It has taken the horrendous tsu- sons, María is shepherded to nami of Boxing Day, 2004, longer an overcrowded local hospital by her eldest boy Lucas than one might have expected to be dramatised for the screen. (Tom Holland). Despite Watts’s heart-rending performance, Given that the wreckage and it is Holland’s Lucas who rises devastating loss of life that it to the occasion and, whether by design or not, becomes the focal character – his searching the wards for other victims’ relatives exposes the fragile thread that holds us to our own worlds. There is, however, no sense of time – did all this happen over two or three days? A week? Certainly the unchanging bloodstains on Lucas’s arms and legs gave no indication. I took my hanky as insurance against a bawling conclusion, but the non-stop pathos had wrung out of me any uncontrollable urge to blub well before Mum, Dad and the kids were re-united. ~ John Campbell ing gala fundraiser (2013 marks the composer’s centenary). The group’s major hurdle is to overcome the recalcitrance of Jean, from whom Reggie was bitterly estranged until she arrived unannounced at Beecham. In his directorial debut, Dustin Hoffman does not hit a false note. This is the work of a veteran who has been in a lot of movies and, aiming to please, knows unerringly how to achieve that goal. Gently paced, with just the right balance of light and shade – albeit without ever scratching very deeply below the surface of occasional despair at physical decline and the recurring melancholy that goes hand in glove with constant memory – honesty and hope prevail. The latter virtue is underscored by a shrewd but essential inclusion of young people, including a surprisingly touching scene in which a black boy tries to explain rap to Reggie. There’s also plenty of Verdi to offer a heavenly alternative to the gunfire and bloodied corpses that we have come to unquestioningly accept as de rigueur. ~ John Campbell

Intouchables A battle rages in the arts these days. In one corner we have those who still believe that life is worth the effort. Opposing them is the push that insists that it is a joke foist upon us by the deity of uncaring Irony. Currently, the guys in black are ahead of the despised sentimentalists by a country mile. This wonderful film by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano strikes a blow for those of us wearied by chic nastiness. Phillipe (François Cluzet) is a quadriplegic with oodles of money. Driss (Omar Sy, giving one of the year’s great performances) is a Senegalese no-hoper living with his aunty and her children in the tenements of Paris. Needing to have applied for three jobs to be eligible for his next welfare payment, Driss makes a perfunctory application to be Phillipe’s new

minder. Phillipe takes a punt and hires him and the odd couple form a loving bond of mutual dependence. Comparisons with The Diving Bell And The Butterfly (2007) are inevitable (the endearing scene in which Driss shaves Phillipe is surely a reference to it), but in this the tone is lighter and the emphasis more on the able-bodied assistant. Noticeable too, if only in hindsight, is the unorthodoxy of there being no earth-shattering climax. The story is told in an episodic manner and we can see the classical ‘character arc’ developing as Driss becomes aware of his responsibilities to others,

with a comic through-line of his lusting after Phillipe’s secretary Magalie (Audrey Fleurot). But the contrivances of plot are not allowed to interfere with the exploration of the men’s relationship. There is so much to warm the heart – I especially liked it when Driss gave Phillipe a joint and they sat up until all hours in the Café Deux Magots; and when Driss, at the opera for the first time, burst out laughing – ‘he’s a singing tree!’ – thus opening Phillipe’s eyes to the absurdity of the moment. It’s a simple truth: we all need somebody to lean on. Unmissable. ~ John Campbell

Television Guide 1. Michael Douglas stars in Falling Down (GO!, Saturday, 9.50pm), a surprisingly intelligent choice for director Joel Schumacher. Like a dark parable by J G Ballard, it explores the life of a white-collar worker who loses it in a traffic jam and then goes on a rampage, physical and verbal, against the ills of contemporary ‘civilisation’. It is preceded by The Golden Compass, a hi-tech attempt to capture the feel of Philip Pullman’s novels. 2. Our Melissa (George) stars in the superior horror film Triangle (GO!, Sunday, 9.30pm). Stranded at sea, she and her friends board a large cruise ship which hoves into view, only to find no one on deck. ‘What they find are a set of car keys that are exactly like the set that Jess [George] carries.’ It’s a puzzle as well as a nightmare.

5. Simon Harriot. Simon is a local artist whose utterly lovely paintings have been adorning the hotel’s walls for years and years, for all the years, I’m sure, that he has waited on tables (as an artist must) through the various restaurant incarnations. He paints local bucolic landscapes, beach scenes, fields of gently grazing cows and hinterland villages, and if you were to desire a little memento of this part of the world you could do worse than purchase one. Besides that, he is a wonderful waiter, sensitive to your every need yet never invasive.

4. A malleable kitchen. By this I mean a kitchen prepared to indulge my dining companion’s request that the chorizo be left out of her panroasted blue eye dish with quinoa pilaf rice. I was of course horrified when she requested it, familiar with the justifiable contempt with which chefs regard customers’ attempts to fiddle with and alter their menu concepts. And yet the request was met with grace and duly satisfied.

TWEED HEADS

Traditional Thai

VICTORIA COSFORD 1. You have to begin with the building that houses it. Bangalow Hotel dates from the 1940s – it’s nearly 75 years old – and still retains some architectural features from that era. That little passageway bearing you from front to back – bar to the left, dining room to the right, tiny rooms for the Ladies midway – has always felt faintly uneven to my tread. And then out the other side where there’s the big back deck and a vision of palm trees is one of the first places I ever visited when I moved up north, and one of the reasons I decided to stay. 2. The dining room itself, smartened up five or six years ago – or more? This is the ‘fine dining’ component of the hotel and before it became Bangalow Dining Rooms it was most splendidly called Fresca, manned by the incomparable Paddy Hobbs. During his reign the place was handsomely facelifted so that now there’s a front deck a little like a ship’s deck, and an inside room whose windows in milder weather are flung open to the street, so that there’s an indoors/outdoors feel to it. Smart-casual, as they say: a most inviting space. 3. The menu, now under the eye of executive chef/ consultant Adam Thornton. Adam’s been round the Byron Shire (grease-)traps for a long time now and has continued the tradition of contemporary Australian food whose focus is on local and seasonal. What’s more, it’s a menu that seems to positively champion grains and carbs and in an area famous for dietary intolerances (often spurious) I applaud that. A little brown rice cake to accompany duck; toasted walnut bread with

Heylan

24/06/1928 – 30/10/2012 Don passed peacefully from this life to return into the inďŹ nite and unknowable mystery. His family is grateful to all the people who served him over the past few months, especially the humorous and warm-hearted people at Feros Care, Bangalow. He is always in our hearts.

Milly and Donny are unrelated but are just great friends. Milly is about 18 months, an affectionate, quiet young cat who likes the peaceful life, particularly after saying goodbye to all her kittens. Donny (5 months) is very responsive to people (ďŹ rst to greet volunteers) and gets on very well with all the other cats, big and small. Like Milly, he has a gentle nature. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Life of Pi’s acidic island warning Thomas Faunce, Australian National University

The recently released film Life of Pi directed by Ang Lee and based on Yann Martel’s novel of the same name, is a fable for our climate change times. Much of the plot involves the struggles of a teenage boy named ‘Pi’ Patel, trying to survive a shipwreck in which his family dies. With resonances to the Noah’s Ark biblical story, Pi becomes stranded in the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker. Pi is a piphilologist, meaning that he has learnt to memorise the numbers constituting Ď€, the record for which, according to the Guinness World Records, is 67,890 digits. Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, is an irrational and transcendent number, meaning it has an infinite number of digits in its decimal representation. All of this may give us insight into the character and mythical import of the film’s protagonist. After many trials, Pi and tiger Richard Parker reach a strange island made of plants that Pi eats. It has a forest, fresh water pools, and a large population of meerkats that sustain Richard Parker. At night, however, the meerkats flee to the trees and Richard Parker to the lifeboat. Pi watches from a branch as the island’s fresh water turns acidic, digesting fish that have died in the pools. He sees that the water around the island is filled with fluorescent jelly fish. Pi finds a human tooth inside a flower. He decides the island is carnivorous and decides to leave with the tiger in their boat. The fabulous nature of this part of Pi’s story later suggests to Japanese investigators of the ship’s sinking that Pi is not telling the truth. Castello Aragonese is a small island which really exists in the Tyrrhenian Sea near Naples. Bubbles of carbon dioxide rise from volcanic vents on the seafloor and dissolve to form high concentrations of carbonic

acid that make seawater corrosive. That real island offers insight into the acidification of the world’s oceans, as they absorb increasing amounts of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide thanks to our excessive burning of ‘archived’ photosynthesis fuels (oil, coal and natural gas). Like the floating island Pi and Richard Parker discover, the island of Castello Aragonese creates beds of vivid green sea grass and sustains swarms of translucent jellyfish and algae. Yet no other life survives in the waters. All the world’s oceans are predicted to become this acidified by 2100 with severe impacts on small lifeforms in the ocean. The pH scale measures acidity in terms of the concentration of hydrogen ions that substances release. It runs from zero (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic) and is logarithmic (small numerical changes representing large effects). Seawater is usually slightly basic, with a pH around 8.2. CO2 emissions have already reduced the pH of surface sea water by about 0.1, meaning the water has become 30per cent more acidic. Surface pH is predicted to drop to a further 1per cent by 2100. At that point (because pH involves a logarithmic scale), seawater will be 150per cent more acidic than it is now. Even if our CO2 emissions were stabilised today, it would take tens of thousands of years for ocean pH to return to normal. Coral reefs and the small creatures that sustain the food chain for whales, for example, would perish, the oceans will become so corrosive (like those of the waters around Pi’s island) that the shells of many small sea creatures will simply dissolve. The acidic island of the Life of Pi film contains a subtle, artistic warning for humanity. The Ark of Pi released a tiger rather than a dove when it reached dry land, and when the tiger reached land it didn’t look back to help its human rescuer. In Richard Parker the tiger we may be seeing the not too pleasant face of Gaia. www.echo.net.au

IBM gel kills superbugs

Cushions, art and dance will bring some joie de vivre into the shire while, at the same time, injecting some muchneeded funds into the coffers of the Byron Breast Cancer Support Group.

Researchers from IBM and the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology revealed today an antimicrobial hydrogel that can break through diseased biofilms and completely eradicate drug-resistant bacteria upon contact. Traditionally used for disinfecting various surfaces, antimicrobials can be found in traditional household items like alcohol and bleach. However, moving from countertops to treating drug-resistant skin infections or infectious diseases in the body are proving to be more challenging as conventional antibiotics become less effective and many household surface disinfectants are not suitable for biological applications.

IBM Research and its collaborators developed a remouldable synthetic antimicrobial hydrogel, comprised of more than 90per cent water, which, if commercialised, is ideal for applications like creams or injectable therapeutics for wound healing, implant and catheter coatings, skin infections or even orifice barriers. Able to colonise on almost any tissue or surface, microbial biofilms – which are adhesive groupings of diseased cells present in 80per cent of all infections – persist at various sites in the human body, especially in association with medical equipment and devices. They are among the top five leading contribute significantly to hos- causes of death in the United pital-acquired infections, which States and account for up to $11

This is due, in part, to the development of drug-resistant bacteria. According to the CDC, antibiotic drug resistance in the US costs an estimated $20 billion a year in healthcare costs as well as eight million additional days spent in the hospital.

A Paralympian’s dream: to London and beyond

Even though Byron didn’t turn on its best weather for our Australia Day Ambassador, Taylor Corry still saw much of the shire during her official duties, including Brunswick Heads, Ocean Shores and Suffolk Park. Story & photo Eve Jeffery

A little bit shy, a little bit unsure and a tiny bit nervous, 17-yearold Taylor Corry has a lot in common with your average teenager right down the smiling faces on her One Direction t-shirt and a touch of trepidation as she enters year 12. What she doesn’t have in common with girls her age is two whopping great silver medals that she won at the 2012 Paralympics and a tattoo on her right wrist to commemorate the event.

Taylor and mum Kim Smith were guests of the Byron shire as they travelled north form their home in Nelson Bay for Taylor’s official role as the Australia Day Ambassador, a program that sends high-achieving Australians to community Australia Day celebrations all over NSW. Taylor had hoped for some fun in the sun during her Byron sojourn; alas the weather had other ideas and she spent much of her time indoors, though she did sneak into the waves on Main Beach for a quick dip. Making her debut in nation-

al colours at the 2011 Global Games in Italy, burgeoning teenage star Taylor produced a highly promising first-up performance. Taylor was one of the stars of the meet, winning eight gold medals and one silver to sound the clarion call to those on their way to London 2012. Taylor, who has an intellectual disability, initially made waves at the 2009 National Underage Championships, winning three gold and two silver medals to underline her enormous potential. Coach Tom Davis has been a

longtime mentor and influential figure throughout Taylor’s quickly escalating career. Sharing a love of less than athleteappropriate ‘fast food’ and impromptu kick-boxing matches in motel rooms to while away the non-training hours, Taylor uses Tom’s guidance as well as the achievements of contemporary Australian swimmers Geoff Huegill, Andrew Lauterstein and Libby Trickett as motivation and inspiration. In her official speech at the Australia Day awards ceremony held at the Ocean Shores Country Club, Taylor said that she was very proud to be an Aussie when she was selected to be a part of the very successful swim team. ‘To represent your country doing something you love is an amazing and special feeling.’ Taylor says that she did suffer from nerves at the awe-inspiring event and her coach said it was as if she was in La La Land: ‘I even forgot my swimmers one day’. Finishing the meet with silver in both the S14 100-metre backstroke and the 200-metre freestyle, Taylor says that she was shaking so much before her first event she couldn’t speak. ‘I knew once I hit the water I would be fine. I had done the hard work. I went into the final ranked sixth.’ Another big milestone for this state, if not national, treasure is the big day later this week. Taylor will reach her majority on Thursday and plans

Citizen Craig’s win for Surf Life Saving

Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club president Craig Reid was awarded Citizen of the Year honours at the 2013 Australia Day ceremony at Ocean Shores on Saturday. Craig, who has lived in the Shire his entire life, has been an active community worker for the past 31 years. As prez of the Bruns SLSC for the past 11 years, he is the longest continuously serving president in the 77-year history of the club. www.echo.net.au

Craig said after the ceremony that he was very surprised to get the award. ‘It is always nice to be recognised by other community leaders for what you to do but you never expect it. I was just sitting there at the ceremony and as they started reading out the nominations and my name was called out – that was how I found out.’ Craig says it is very humbling to be the recipient of the award when you consider the other nominees. ‘There is a lot of worthy people in the commu-

nity who do a lot of good work, so it is an honour to receive the award – but really, I am just a representative of the whole club that does great work’. Mayor Richardson said during this time Craig had set the standard for surf club members by recording more active patrol hours than any other member of the Brunswick club. ‘Craig often also gives up his time to speak at public gatherings and schools on water and beach safety’, said Mayor Richardson. ‘He is especially loved by the

junior members of the club, the Nippers, and gives his time freely, spending most Sunday mornings at the beach surrounded by a group of young followers.’ Craig says that even though they have has several big rescues including a six-month pregnant woman and a trio of children who swam the river too far down, two of whom were swept out almost 500 metres past the bar, people are generally getting the message. ‘We’ve had record numbers swimming between the flags. The message is getting through. On Christmas day we still had 50 people swimming at the end of the patrol so we stayed on until 6pm. If we can see you we can save you’. It is situations like these that have landed him the award as this year’s number one citizen. *Author’s note – Craig and young Bruns patroller Braeden McHugh used their SLSC-acquired skills after Craig’s photo shoot on Sunday, when, as I left the building and tried to get into my car in gusty winds, the driver’s door swung back at me and left me with a Frankenstein gash on my noggin and blood pouring down my face. They patched me up and saw me safely to hospital. Thanks, dudes – you blokes are legends!

<echowebsection=Sport>

include an outing with other water-loving mammals on the Moonshadow Dolphin cruise and some little-bit-of-fun-butI-am-in-training celebrations with friends. Taylor, who is a bit apprehensive about the HSC, will take on year 12 as well as her training regime for the World Championships in 2013, and plans to study Sports, Leisure and Recreation, and Hospitality as her electives. Her future plans include plenty more swimming and a berth in the 2016 Rio team, and a more distant view to becoming a swimming coach. A shiny star in Australian sport, the future looks bright for Taylor who just loves to represent her country. ‘My first Paralympic experience is something I will never forget. To wear the green and gold onto the medal platform was a dream come true. I now look forward to representing Australia in Rio in 2016.’

Comprehensively covering the NSW Far North Coast

Reintroduce First Home Buyers Grant for existing property: REINSW The first-homebuyer incentives for existing properties should be reinstated, according to the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales. The industry body has called for action by the state government as a result of a decrease in property sales for first-homebuyers since changes were made last year to grants available. ‘First home buyers are the catalyst for other property activity in the market,’ said REINSW president Christian Payne. First homebuyers are an essential link in the chain of the entire market and by excluding them it causes a great disturbance,’ he said. From 30 September 2012, the $7000 first-homebuyers grant was abolished for those buying existing properties. A new grant of $15,000 for first-homebuyers who purchased a newly built dwelling or property off the plan up to $650,000 was introduced

on 1 October 2012, with the grant decreasing to $10,000 from 1 January 2014. ‘The strategy of the government to direct first-homebuyers towards new property is flawed because it suggests demand is the issue, when in fact supply is the issue. The inhibitors of supply are the convoluted planning system and the government’s dependency on property taxation,’ Mr Payne said. ‘First-homebuyers are a unique category of property consumers and the jump they have to make from a standing start to acquiring a property can be the biggest that any property buyer has to make. We need to recognise they need special assistance, as typically the first-homebuyer is a younger person, but not always. ‘It would be a travesty if they found it so difficult to buy a property in NSW that they were enticed to another state. NSW

can’t afford to lose investment dollars. This lack of affordability or incentive means that that we could be losing the best and brightest young people. ‘What we want to see is affordable property and therefore the current strategy of directing first-homebuyers to new property has not achieved what they wanted. In fact it has adversely effected the volume of property transactions. Therefore it is imperative that the first-homebuyers incentives for the purchase of existing property be reintroduced.’

The owners of the Richmond River Princess cruise boat at Ballina have suggested, obviously with some benefit to them, that a chartered boat would overcome the problem of party gatecrashers. ‘A few parents have chartered our boat for parties for their offspring and they tell us they love the fact that we are virtually gatecrasher proof.

Alice found an old road, broken up into stones, which led towards the coast. As she bent over and pondered its meaning, a large white rabbit, with an umbrella and a waistcoat, appeared before her. Must be the mushrooms kicking in, she thought. More startling still, the rabbit spoke: ‘This abandoned road once led to a happy little town by the seaside, but it was overwhelmed by its own popularity, and eventually fell into ruin, its buildings carted away by the influx of the sea and hermit crabs.’ ‘What a sad tale,’ said Alice. ‘Did the townsfolk try to do anything to stop it?’ ‘Well, they talked about it,’ said the rabbit.
