2 December 20, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

Tweed/Byron LAC (Local Area Command) is set to receive 20 additional officers.

The announcement also includes an additional 13 officers for Richmond LAC, and is a result of ‘long and diligent work’ by north coast MPs, says Don Page, minister for the north coast and member for Ballina.

‘After 16 long years, we now have a government and a police minister who is listening to the cold hard facts and acting on them,’ said Mr Page.

‘We have been anxiously awaiting the outcome of the Parsons Review and it has proven what we have been saying – that the north coast area commands are severely under-resourced,’ he said.

‘I especially commend the minister for police, Michael Gallacher, for immediately adopting the recommendation of the report that operational strength of local area commands be raised

from a minimum of 80 per cent to a minimum of 90 per cent.

Mr Page said the north coast has a higher than normal rate of officers who are not available for operational duty.

‘The Northern Rivers had more than two million overnight visitors in 2010, which adds a substantial additional burden to policing resources.

‘The north coast has a rapid population growth, a high incidence of mental illness and drug-related crime, and high traffic volumes, including heavy vehicles travelling on the Pacific Highway.

‘I thank the Police Minister for acting so decisively and quickly on the findings of the review. It will make an enormous difference to the safety of people on the North Coast and to our existing police officers, who have been battling for many years under the strain of insufficient police numbers.’

Lighthouse walkway set to re-open before Christmas Recent rain has delayed the completion of Lighthouse Road works; however, the good news from Council is that the boardwalk will re-open on Friday December 23 – just in time for visitors during the holiday season.

The road isn’t that far behind being completed, according to Byron Shire Council’s executive manger of community infrastructure, Phil Holloway.

‘Work will resume on the road on Friday January 6 and it is expected to take around

a couple of weeks,’ he said in a statement. ‘Landscaping will also occur during this time.’

At a cost of $2.9 million, the Lighthouse Road works include the construction of a reinforced soil slope, reconstruction of elevated boardwalk and site re-vegetation and restoration.

The Lighthouse Road restoration works are a result of a major landslip on June 30, 2005, which saw the road and walkway collapse.

Bangalow interchange options unveiled Alternative options to the Bangalow interchange have been announced.

NSW minister for roads Duncan Gay said in a statement that after a public meeting in July a working party was formed to develop alternative concepts to replace the previously proposed interchange.

‘The message was clear – the people of Bangalow overwhelmingly did not want a

major interchange from the upgraded highway to their village.’

The options are available to view at www.rta.nsw.gov.au/ roadprojects/projects/pac_hwy/ ballina_tweed_heads/index. html. Simply follow the links on the righthand side under ‘Alternative options to Bangalow interchange.’

Three staffed community displays are planned for the A&I Hall in Bangalow early next year.

Eleven-year-old appears in court over OS vandalism Two youngsters have been nabbed by police after they vandalised Waterlilly Park in Ocean Shores over the weekend of December 10 and 11.

Tweed/Byron duty officer Brad Stewart told The Echo that two offenders were apprehended. ‘One was aged 11, and as they are over ten years old, they will be charged under the Young Offenders Act 1993.

‘The other is nine years old, and as he is under ten years old, he cannot be charged.’

Resident Jeffery Wood told

The Echo that all the rubber matting under the playground was ripped up and cut to shreds.

‘There was a massive amount of damage: smashed bottles, and filthy language was sprayed on playground equipment.

‘Where are the parents?

When our kids were eight years old, we always knew where they were.’ Mr Wood praised both Byron Police and Council, who he said were quick to respond.

‘Council got onto the job straight away to repair the damage,’ he said.

Schoolies spark renewed debate on holiday lets

Health impacts Mr Ermacora says the Cape Byron Estate has a ‘long and sad history and [holiday letting] has had a detrimental health impact on at least one elderly owner.’

The complex is located between Cooper Street and Pacif-

Targeting schoolies ‘Putting aside the question of lawfulness and land-use zonings, I am mindful of the tenor and language used in the “Terms and Agreement” documents I have been provided [from the said holiday let accommodation]. The targeted guests are obviously young holiday makers. One of the documents is even entitled “For Schoolies Bookings”.’

Council staff are keeping the lid on what action is being taken, however. Council’s governance manager Ralph James

A truck driver had a lucky escape after his semi-trailer loaded with Christmas presents burst into flames on the Pacific Highway at Yelgun early on Sunday morning.

Locals living a kilometre away

heard a loud explosion just before 6am and rushed to the scene after alerting emergency services.

They stood back and and watched as the truck was totally engulfed by fire, which was believed to have started by an electrical fault. Northbound lanes were closed for several hours.

told The Echo that the Council report remains confidential and the properties within the report cannot be named.

‘Any properties, in which legal proceedings are commenced, will be notified in the coming weeks,’ he said.

At Thursday’s meeting however, Council resolved to deal with the matter in open session in future after it was initially tabled as confidential.

Crs Patrick Morrisey and Richard Staples put forward a motion that ‘The general manager be authorised to manage the litigation in respect of the reported properties identified in the report in accordance with the general manager’s general delegations.’

The Echo understands that Mr Ermacora has corresponded with the the Holiday Letting Organisation (HLO) over the ongoing issue. HLO represents holiday letters and operates a

security hotline to deal with noisy tourists.

Mr Ermacora told The Echo, ‘The problem is that whatever countermeasures or remedial action is taken, it takes place after the event when the damage has already been done.

‘As I see it, apart from some cosmetic stuff, the HLO is not in a position to provide a “resolution” as such. This will have to come from Council’s initiative and the defining of “holiday letting” vis-a-vis a “tourist facility” by the courts.

HLO’s representative John Gudgeon kept his response short and told The Echo, ‘Holiday letting is very much a legal aspect of property rental.’

The comment comes despite Council’s current policy on tourist facilities in its Local Environmental Plan 1988 (LEP).

Tourist facilities are prohibited on residential 2(a) land, according to the document.

Sublime with Rome announced as Bluesfest lineup grows Another massive line-up of international and national artists has been announced for the 23rd Bluesfest.

Sublime with Rome, Zappa Plays Zappa, Dawes, James Vincent McMorrow, Josh Pyke, Blue King Brown, Eileen Jewell, 1814, Busby Marou and Melbourne Ska Orchestra join headliners Cold Chisel, Crosby Stills & Nash, Roger Daltrey, Earth Wind & Fire and The Pogues. The list goes on…

Festival director Peter Noble said, ‘After securing some of the legendary heavyweights, it’s always an immense pleasure to announce some of our favourite Australian musicians and I’m stoked to be adding them to the incredible line-up.

‘The blend of music across the board is quite staggering.

Let the countdown begin.’

Legendary ska-punk band Sublime have reignited their career with a new singer.

Rome Ramirez, a 21-year-old northern California native has big shoes to fill.

Formed in Long Beach in 1988, Sublime sold over 17 million albums worldwide, but disbanded after the tragic death of singer Bradley Nowell.

After a handful of jam sessions with Rome in 2008, however, it led to a few impromptu shows before officially dubbing themselves Sublime with Rome.

Bluesfest will take place between Thursday April 5 and Monday April 9, 2012, at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm. Tickets are on sale now through www. bluesfest.com.au or by phoning the office on 6685 8310.

A recent complaint against noisy schoolies next to a retirement village has re-ignited the debate over holiday letting in Byron Bay. At Thursday’s Council meeting, ex-councillor and representative of an over 55s complex, Hugh Ermacora, urged Council to get tougher on the issue.

Supporters of Mr Ermacora cheered and interjected comments during public access, which also included speeches on the issue from Fast Buck$ and a Ewingsdale resident.

ic Vista Drive, Byron Bay, and The Echo understands there are two holiday letting establishments in close proximity.

‘A commercial operation which targets young holiday makers, situated right next to an over 55s complex, has to be a recipe for disaster,’ said Mr Ermacora.

Byron United’s new appointment

From left, new Byron United executive officer Jennifer St George, president Paul Waters and outgoing executive officer Diana Ricketts Photo & story Hans Lovejoy

Outgoing executive officer of Byron’s chamber of commerce (Byron United), Diana Ricketts, was given a fond farewell at last Friday’s Christmas party, held at the Pass Cafe.

The occasion was also an opportunity to meet Diana’s replacement, Jennifer St George.

Diana extended her thanks to all members for their sup-

port over the past six years.

‘The generosity, goodwill and camaraderie within the business community have helped to make my job so much easier and always a pleasure.

‘The board members I have had the privilege to work with during my time with Byron United have been exceptional in their commitment to assisting businesses and community as a whole,’ said Diana.

Amended markets policy up for public comment The assessment criteria within the Draft Expression of Interest for Market Licences have been amended and are now available on line for comment.

‘The message was very clear from the meeting,’ councillor Simon Richardson said, referring to the recent community forum held on the draft markets policy.

‘The assessment criteria needed to demonstrate stronger support for local providers and community organisations.’

He said the new criteria include a 20 per cent weighting of knowledge of local market culture, and 10 per cent each for commitment to socially and environmentally responsible operations.

‘The Shire is well known for its vibrant market culture and the new Expression of Interest (EOI) criteria will help ensure the much loved markets retain their character,’ Cr Richardson said. Mayor Jan Barham also

said that despite the changes, an expression of interest process will still need to be held for markets run on public land.

She urged everyone involved with the market community to read the new documents.

‘Even if a person has made a submission on the first version, and did not support the documents, read the second draft and let us know.

‘It is valuable to have clarity from the community on the different versions of the assessment criteria for the draft Expression of Interest, to make an informed decision on behalf of the community prior to seeking interest from possible market managers.’

Mayor Barham added that any money raised through the operation of a market on a Crown Reserve, including leasing or licensing part of a reserve, will be spent on improving and maintaining the land and or other Crown Reserves.

The new draft documents are

available at community access points around the Shire or on Council’s website at www.byron. nsw.gov.au/public-exhibition.

Submissions should be in writing and addressed to the General Manager, Byron Shire Council, PO Box 219 Mullumbimby 2482 or sent by email to submissions@byron.nsw. gov.au. Emailed submissions to this address only will be acknowledged.

Additionally this week, the Save Byron Shire Markets Action Group called on Council for a cost/benefit analysis of the markets. The group claim that the asset is the land, not the markets.

‘Again, Council seem to have lost sight of the fact that the markets are not the asset here,’ the group said in a press release.

‘Rather, it is the use of the land that should be considered.’

They claim that Byron could follow Ballina Shire, ‘where the first three markets could be

limited to operation by notfor-profit community organisations.’

The documents are on public exhibition from 22 December 2011 until 27 January 2012.

Anonymous ten grand donation goes towards Recheal’s cause

Echo writer and comedian Mandy Nolan had the enviable task on Sunday night of driving around Mullumbimby judging the impressive displays of Christmas lights.

The Christmas Lights Competition was one of the first intiatives sparked by the new Mullumbimby Chamber of

Commerce, and a first prize of $200 was donated by Ray Towers for the most spectactular display. While all entrants displayed notable creativity with Santa see saws, electric reindeer and full sized Christmas trees, it was Mark and Leah Ross of 1862 Coolamon Scenic Drive who took out first prize.

Alcohol, drug use and street crime and violence were identified as the biggest problems and highest priorities for young people, after results from a recent youth survey was released this week.

The survey was a part of the consultation process for a ten -year plan being developed by Byron Youth Service (BYS).

BYS director Di Mahoney says the results will enable a focus on further developing and broadening community con-

nections, programs, facilities and support with young people.

What did they like?

‘It was revealed that the best thing young people like about Byron Shire was their community,’ she said. ‘The natural environment, the culture and creativity of the area also scored highly’ As part of the survey, a prize was on offer – congratulations to winner Jane Armytage who grabbed a $250 voucher from CLIX Computers.

‘Another Lennox’ planned for Ballina Chris Dobney

Greens Ballina councillor Jeff Johnson has questioned the Liberal-National state government’s claim that it aims to stay out of local planning issues.

He told The Echo the Council had received a letter from the state government planning department ‘effectively telling us to put a planning proposal on exhibition before Christmas.’

The proposal in question is for Cumbalum Precinct B. It would be a new estate housing 8,000 people at the top of Ross Lane, Lennox Head – almost equivalent in size to the existing Lennox Head township.

‘It seems unusual for them to be writing to council to speed up the process. A couple of Councillors [said] pres-

sure from the government was the reason they endorsed the planning proposal,’ he told The Echo yesterday.

Ballina Council approved putting on the proposal on exhibition at its November meeting and a rescission motion put

by Cr Jeff Johnson at its Thursday meeting was defeated.

He said there was no objective reason to rush into the development given that existing approved residential developments could provide up to 20 years’ worth of population expansion in Ballina Shire.

‘I think we need to not proceed with it at this stage. There are already about 3000 residential-zoned blocks that are currently either on the market or being placed on the market.’

Combined with infill de-

velopment [such as increased granny flats and unit developments in town] he believes this should provide for a proposed population increase from 45,000 to 60,000 in Ballina over the next 20 years.

‘Some councillors said in their statements, “If we don’t approve it, the state government’s going to take it over.”

That’s not the way we should be taking decisions about the future of our Shire. There are many unresolved issues relating to this rezoning, which includes some macadamia farms.

There are flooding issues, highway noise issues, environmental concerns – and it’s a total greenfield site.

Cr Jeff Johnson queried who would pick up the tab for all of the infrastructure costs,

arguing the later any Council requirements are imposed on would-be developers, the easier it is for them to wriggle out of them.

‘At this early stage of the process council has a bit of power.

The longer you wait to do those things the more likely they are to get reduced or removed from approvals on appeal.’

Cumbalum Precinct B will be put on exhibition for comment early in the new year and will return to Council with a report based on the submissions received.

Cr Johnson for one is hoping people will take the opportunity to have their say.

‘People have no idea a suburb bigger than Lennox is being planned up on the hill behind the existing town.

Dear Man, You are the active pole on earth and needed like the sun – shining with honest care, in love, on to a woman.

She is like the earth – she receives, she gives, she knows. We are this beautiful life. In this self-made world man learned to show off, it is easy for you but are you brave enough to stand up for love? Be true – be simple and give your honest love and care and make sweetly and rightly love to her. It is a woman’s delight and need to grow with you and glow in love. It is your most fulfilling task. For this to be, you will have to give up selfish, restless sex. Be still, drop your demand, enjoy moment to moment life.

Love life.

Do you excite yourself with sex-thought? It overstimulates you. It makes you dishonest in love, so you just take, but you should ask and learn to give right love. We are influenced as a child... take a drug, get used to sex, be sexy, show off, be greedy, give your attention to the newest invention, get excited... nothing will be good enough for long and such greediness supports the sex business. Worldwide he manipulates young women to play sexy for him, to be his sex object and if she makes sex with such a selfish demanding ungiving man it makes her like him.

Infected and made discontent, both feel dependent on stimulation, for in truth they have not made love and so they say ‘let’s have some fun with a drug...’ Hey man, give up, you can’t just take what you want, you can’t just take love! You have to give to a woman. Life’s love is her gift to you, if you have earned it.

A woman today can be honest to man. If he is not honest, do not give to him, wait until he demonstrates true love. If you are honest, moment to moment and give to what is good and right, you simply feel well from the inside. With such a woman of love, you will listen to her carefully. Love is easily broken, it has to be made fresh, new, no other body belongs to you. Each of us has to stand up for love. Life felt inside is reflected in beautiful earth, universe – I belong to you.

From a Woman.

A feast fit for an artist

Cocomangas turns 16 Byron Bay nightclub, Cocomangas, is celebrating 16 years in business this month.

Club owner and licensee Gary Charles arrived in Byron Bay in 1995 and ‘immediately fell in love with all the Bay had to offer,’ he told The Echo.

‘After a few weeks of due diligence with my friend, John Munro, we decided to make an offer for the tapas restaurant, then called Catalinas.

‘In 2004 Cocomangas took over the first floor of the building and opened a second room.

‘That same year I proposed to my beautiful wife Sue who had been travelling through Byron Bay a few years earlier.

‘Cocos has just gone through a major renovation in preparation for the 16th anniversary with a brand new state-of-theart sound a lighting refit and refurbished toilets.’

Bumper crop for Byron Film Festival

While most of us will be eating turkey and drinking champagne over the holiday break, Byron Bay Film Festival Director Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee Skippon-Volke will be locked in her media room watching films, busily programing the sixth festival scheduled for March 2 to 11, 2012.

The global economy may be contracting, but that seems to have had little impact on the creative industries, as SkipponVolke declares that this is the most films she has ever had submitted. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have had films from a pool of about 60 countries; for two years in a row weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had that many but this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the biggest amount of en-

tries weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever with over 900 films submitted. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be whittling that down. Last year we had around 200 films, from Russia, Portugal and all over.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As festival director, Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee believes that the secret to maintaining the success of an event, even in a challenging economic climate, is all about the programming. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about having films included of all lengths and all genres. What we fall back to is a lot of the programming is done around community values and the interests around here, like healing, spirituality, surfing, the environment, colourful characters, the arts, music... â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have always had a scalable budget; if things are tight there are fewer bells and whis-

tles. We have tried to develop ourselves as a sustainable event financially. Of course we are on the lookout for sponsors. We want to make sure we come across as a world-class event.

Other festivals have budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars but I would say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the smarter festivals who will stay. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about picking and programming and giving the audience what they want and recognising who they are; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about smart programming.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In just six years of the event, Skippon-Volke has performed an unlikely miracle: she has turned a small-town regional event into a film event with an international profile recognised all around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I feel that the Australian industry is somewhat insular and it was hard as a regional event to gain any recognition. In Byron we are so far from Sydney and we are not in Queensland, so we are not relevant to Brisbane â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so we decided to build an international profile first. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We got into Myspace and marketing through the internet. I have had filmmakers, who have travelled the world circuit with their films, who have said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to America and the Bahamas and people had heard of the Byron Bay Film Festival but they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of Tropfestâ&#x20AC;?. A lot of that

is about giving the filmmakers a good time. The filmmakers say the audiences here react in a way they have never seen before...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Festival continues to attract visitors for overseas and interstate with recent survey figures revealing that more than 54 per cent of their visitors had planned the trip to Byron especially for the Byron Bay Film Festival.

The 2012 event is sure to attract film lovers from far and wide. While Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimee is reticent to release too much program or guest information until mid February, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;for fear of festival poachingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she can let film buffs know that director Steffan Elliot will be attending. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He directed Priscilla and has a new film coming out on Australia Day with Olivia Newton John called A Few Best Men. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be screening it, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing panels and speaking at events.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Skippon-Volke expects this to be an even bigger event with plans to expand the program to include Pighouse Flicks and expanded screenings at Birch Carroll & Coyle in Lismore.

The Byron Bay Film Festival runs from March 2 to 11. The gala red-carpet opening is on March 2. For information go to www.bbff.com.au and sign up for the newsletter.

Dancing it up at the Spirit festival The upcoming Byron Spirit festival has announced a huge line-up of dance classes with world-renowned instructors.

It comes in addition to a full program of yoga, kirtan, tantra, healing, philosophy, cooking and world music.

The festival will be held in Mullumbimby from February 17, 18 and 19, 2012.

Co-organiser Alison Pearl says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The dance workshops offer classes for all levels in fiverhythms, NIA dance, sufi dance, conscious dance, salsa for yogis, hawaiian and bellydance.

Weekly five-rhythms classes in the Byron Shire have been

hugely popular for over sixyears, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Find out why young and old have taken to this free form of movement expression, created over 30 years ago. Conscious Dance, a somewhat different approach to bliss through movement, will be lead by Liat Sokal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She says the program will also incorporate two streams of Middle Eastern dance. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tamsin Murray, a student of Sufi master Adnan Sarhan since 1987, will lead a class in Sufi meditative movement, a healing practice that merges breath and chanting with movement to music. This ancient dance

discipline creates a physical and psychic harmony in a form of great simplicity and beauty. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lower chakras can move to Polynesian polyrhythms in Iloniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawaiian dance class, and Mullum salsa queen and yoga teacher Kaaren Schimana will lead her custom Salsa for Yogis class.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Classes are designed for all levels, and no previous experience is required, says Alison. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just wear loose, comfortable clothes, and bring an open heart and desire to let your body move, express, dissolve and commune.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Visit www.spiritfestival.com. au for more.

Sniffer dogs â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wrong 4 out of 5 timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Greens NSW MP and Justice spokesperson David Shoebridge has claimed that police sniffer dogs are wrong four out of five times when they indicate people have drugs on them.

He says his figures were obtained though Parliamentary questioning, and searches are being undertaken on average 40 times a day in NSW. Mr Shoebridge is also calling for a suspension of the operations as it damages police and community relations. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No test which has an 80 per cent error rate could be considered a reasonable basis on which to conduct an intrusive

public search of a citizen going about their daily business,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the first nine month of this year a total of 11,248 people were wrongly identified by dogs as carrying drugs. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Every one of them was then subject to a humiliating public search, some were taken aside for a full strip search, only to be found to be carrying no drugs at all. These thousands of false positives mean there are thousands of innocent people being ritually humiliated on our public streets and public transport network. Because of where they operate police sniffer dogs tend

to target young people and Aborigines. If this was happening in the car parks of merchant banks there would be outrage. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The high error rate also produces inevitable conflict with police and directly undermines much of the positive community work many local area commands area doing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Police minister, Mike Gallacher, was reported in www. smh.com.au as saying he supports the use of sniffer dogs, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;which had a highly acute sense of smell and could detect on people traces of drugs or explosives even after they had been discarded.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Last Thursday evening, a new generation of environmental leaders emerged in the community at the inaugural youth Permaculture Challenge graduation ceremony at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall.

A group of 41 teenagers from the region have spent the last month in the program, being challenged to connect with themselves, one another and nature through the design principles of permaculture and a wilderness immersion.

Before their graduation the students completed a threephase program.

Phase one started the group off on a wilderness challenge where participants spent two days trekking, kayaking and camping and completing a succession of team and individual challenges. In the second Permaculture Certification phase, students worked towards a Statement of Attainment, covering units from the Certificate II in Permaculture.

And in phase three they completed the Permablitz Challenge, a project that saw the transformation of two sites which not only serve as a permanent community reminder of the youth learning in action, but will provide ongoing nourishing, organic, healthy food

Alyssa Garnett and Courtney Bailey were part of the crew that planted fruit trees at the Shara Boulevard garden in Ocean Shores as part of the Permaculture Challenge.

for the community.

The graduation evening centred around the ‘Permaculture Lounge’, where each young person spoke to the audience of 250 people about what they felt was the biggest challenge facing our world today, and why.

They offered practical ideas on how we as a community can join together to create a future that could sustain us.

In the lounge hotseat, Aquila van Keuk said that she thought the biggest challenge to over come was globalisation which

<echowebsection=Local News>

she said she felt was causing a breakdown of local community. Another graduate, Jasper Sheridan, said he thought that he felt the planet was on a path to slow but sure starvation, something that needed to be remedied immediately.

The evening was also a celebration and recognition of the incredible contribution to the community that these young people had made through their Permablitzes of the two key community sites of the Shara Community Gardens and The

Byron Youth Service centre.

Sarah-jane Potts, founder of The Permaculture Challenge said that the program and the evening was a huge success for all involved. ‘I couldn’t be prouder of the 41 teenagers’, said Sarah-jane. ‘They have come through the program as empowered and engaged young people, motivated by a new understanding of what’s possible’.

This is an agenda which concentrates on Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional strengths in health and education and puts many of its best and brightest to work on implementing popular and saleable reforms.

In other more troublesome areas Stephen Conroy in Communications, Chris Bowen in Immigration, Anthony Albanese in Transport and Infrastructure, Tony Burke in Water and Sustainability, Craig Emerson in Trade, Greg Combet in Climate Change, Martin Ferguson in Resources and Energy and Simon Crean in Regional Australia are joined by Shorten in Industrial Relations and Superannuation.

Person for person itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a bad team; certainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear class or two above Tony Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ragtag mob of zealots, ratbags, has-beens and never-will-bes.

But: it also has Kevin Rudd, probably the smartest of them all and certainly potentially the most dangerous.

If he can be kept in check and Abbott remains leader of the opposition, there is still some chance of a comeback. If not ... well, according to the Mayan calendar, the world is going to end next year anyway.

Indeed, it might well end sooner than the prediction; if the arse really falls out of Europe there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much for Gillardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ministers to do except cling to the wreckage, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the lucky ones.

Certainly it is hard to argue that Bill Shortenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise is not based at least as much on talent as on loyalty; it would have been both unjust and foolish not to have promoted him.

And two of Gillardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so-called faceless men, David Feeney and Don Farrell, continue to languish unnoticed and unmourned in the pool of parliamentary secretaries.

But Mark Arbib, the minister for sport who has retained that portfolio (according to the prime minister, because he wants to go to the London Olympics next year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is she serious?) is another matter.

Graham Richardson claims that Arbib is actually a serious and skilful administrator, and for all I know he is right. But to the voters, Arbib remains anathema: the archetypal sleazebag of the New South Wales Right, a ruthless and cynical numbers

Probably the single unequivocally successful initiative of the last term was a universal disabilities scheme. Bill Shorten, who had the initial carriage of it, is now in cabinet with another portfolio but the experienced and reliable Jenny Macklin, a Gillard loyalist, has taken over the responsibility.

Gillard herself has retained overall control of mental health reform, but has drafted another useful newcomer to cabinet, Mark Butler, as her assistant.

Slipping through holiday let loopholes Two weeks ago The Echo reported that there was to be a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;test caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regarding holiday letting. Let me make it clear once and for all that the law is in fact very well established and that no test case is necessary.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works. Almost all holiday letting occurs in dwellings (including flats) which are zoned residential 2(a). If you look up the LEP to find out what is and what is not permitted in this zone, you will see that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tourist facilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are prohibited. This means that Council is legally prevented from giving consent, ie itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even an option.

However itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that simple, unfortunately. You and I might think any kind of tourist establishment is a tourist facility and is therefore prohibited in that zone. Recently, however, a planning consultant pointed out to me that in the LEP there is a separate list of facilities that are exempt from this prohibition, even if they cater to tourists.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Motelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youth hostelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are prime examples; both can legally be done in residential zones.

In other words if your development proposal conforms with the given definitions of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;motelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youth hostelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, you may be given consent by Council, or you may not. Holiday letting does not fit into any of the defined exceptions in that list so you simply cannot get approval for it at all.

There have been numerous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;test casesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; going back over 100 years which have consistently held that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;residentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; zoning is incompatible with short-term accommodation. Your elected twats were given copies of the relevant written judgments but failed to understand them. Not only that but they lacked the introspective insight to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hang on; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand this. This needs to be explained to me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rather they proceeded to move motions, debate and decide things just as though they did understand. This I

call pig ignorance or supreme arrogance but lawyers would probably term it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wilful negligenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. These councillors would certainly try harder if it was their own money at stake.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the responsibility of the permanent staff to provide the kind of technical and legal advice that would clarify such issues. But what did they do? Next to nothing. When the relevant legal precedents were given to councillors, for example, there was no summary, no commentary, no analysis; councillors were simply left to sink or swim. In this letter Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explained the basics in a few paragraphs, but if you go through what the staff have put forward over the past five years youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find nothing like it. On the contrary earlier this year, for example, they presented councillors with a 40-page diatribe of which precisely two sentences were to the point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not exaggerating.

Those two sentences conceded

in effect that holiday letting = short-term accommodation = non-exempt = prohibited.

Of the councillors only Ross Tucker would have understood this, but he is the master of the judicious silence when it suits him.

By the way, Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press release two weeks ago about the raid on the schoolies accommodation at 139 Jonson Street implied that Council was finally getting tough on holiday letting. Not at all true; the organiser has in fact been charged with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;running a youth hostel without consentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, not for holiday letting. We were told that about half of the tenants were schoolies sleeping dorm style in a garage. We were not told whether the other half were genuine long-term residents. Nor unfortunately will your elected twats have had the wit to ask. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too depressing for this time of year.

Holy protest

there will be minimal spin-off to the many businesses who think patrons will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pop into Byron for a bit of shoppingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

This is the wrong proposal for our area. We are certainly not against music festivals; we are against the trespass against the fabric of our community at huge human and economic cost. The proposal was overinflated so the proponents could get a State Significant tag and push it through the now defunct Part 3A planning fiasco.

The proponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planning consultant has stated that south-east Queensland will benefit as well from these mammoth events. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Farrell government thinks it will fill the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffers.

Closer to the truth is a political maneouvre to get Splendour away from Queensland.

At what cost?

dedicated peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meticulous example that perhaps more chemical users will see the folly of their quick-fix ways, via chemical compounds which interact with all life in our soils and waters. Soil/water and its health is the most important fact facing Australia and it is time we as a consuming population take serious note and begin to treat it with the utmost respect it deserves.

vets in almost every main town in Australia. There is no logical reason why horses cannot be euthanised at home by your vet or, if necessary, by the dogger on site, as they do in the UK. This system is by far better for the horse, who unlike any other domestic animal, suffers days of torment in holding

Carmelite nuns and friars against coal-seam gas mining!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see a street march, the only sound being the clinking of rosary beads and the nuns and friars singing the protest song â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We shall lock the gateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Eventful trespass As residents of Yelgun Valley we are apalled by the recent decision by the Department of Planning to recommend the go-ahead for a huge festival/ events site on our doorstep, which will cater for between 15,000 and 50,000 patrons.

This proposal has been overturned by Byron Shire Council and by the Land and Environment Court.

Many of the studies carried out have highlighted the many downsides to this proposal with scant details on how these downsides will be mitigated and who will adequately monitor them. The Department has slavishly accepted the proposersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; word that they have ways to fix everything from floods, bushfires, traffic congestion, crowd control to the inherent biodiversity of the site. Within all the modelling there is little or no discussion about the human impact; local residents were not consulted.

What we are simply asking for is a humane end to an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and that he is properly cared for when he is alive.

There is simply no justification for cruelty or neglect. There are re-homing centres for animals when their owners are no longer able to care for them, and

Story & photo Sharon Shostak

This time last year I landed in South America for a ten-week stay. In my early 20s Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d become enamoured with speaking Spanish while backpacking extensively through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been determined to climb every Inca ruin, traverse deserts, swim lakes, experience the jungle and explore the Andes. My uncle, who has recently settled in Uruguay, inspired this visit with the possibility of a place to stay, and this time instead of a backpack, I brought my dear hubby and two daughters.

Again I was determined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but only to habla espaĂąol and get to know the local shopkeeper, or chat to the old man who sits on the corner. This time my burning ambition was to experience time out.

A Citroen fails to negotiate the Rio de la Plata, much to the intrigue of local kids.

Timeless Travel to another country offers access to a landscape of timelessness. No longer defined by obligations, my inner machinations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grudgingly at first â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wind down to a different pace, where the major achievement of the day might validly be getting the clothes washed. Though I live in a country town, the necessities of making ends meet here means my activities look as manic as any fast-paced city dweller. I juggle three occupations, two kids, manage several family properties and my own household, not to mention any creative works-in-progress. So I remember with great fondness our time in the beautiful Colonia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a world heritage town ping-ponged between the Spaniards and Portuguese over the centuries due to its strategic positioning to the mouth of the RĂ­o de la Plata. Lush, tree-lined

cobbled streets crammed with stately vintage buildings in various states of (dis)repair, funky old cars and the many friendly stray dogs which are all apparently well fed though belonging to no-one in particular, all entranced me.

My uncle and his partner were renovating a house on a high bank overlooking the river, so centrally placed we could walk to just about everywhere needed. The Spanish turned out to be not so accessible though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Uruguayan dialect made for a frustrating reconnection with the beloved tongue and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t till the end of our trip that I started to feel I was getting anywhere.

This river spans over 200km between the coasts of Uruguay and Argentina as it emerges into the Atlantic Ocean. So much water feeds down from numerous rivers into this basin it actually pushes the ocean

PRIC

The Citroen incident But sometimes they could be a bit slack. One day my uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful casero (caretaker) Fernando â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a multi-skilled helping hand who lives out in the back shed for board and pay, arrived home after picking up some building materials with Uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Citroen.

Some minutes later we heard the wrenching sound of metal grinding rock and rushed outside to find that the car had rolled away and now sat bobbing in the river, anchored precariously by the sump wedged onto a boulder. Fernando had forgotten to put the hand brake on, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave it in gear.

The car sat in the water for some hours waiting for the tow truck that would be there in ten minutes and by the time it arrived, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found ways of looking at the situation from a positive angle; tourists often hang out on that bank in the precise position that would likely have been fatal, and it did seem rather fortuitous that none were there at that particular moment.

Besides the cultural contrast of our Colonia stay, what lingers most is the sense of dreamy sunlit days by the river, luxuriant siestas and directionless wanderings through the cobbled streets. Even more than the location, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the possibility of touching that timelessness again which beckons.

If I have opened these doors in myself through my external adventures then my task now is to bring those inner landscapes out to my busy life. So if the phone rings, just tell them Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m down by the river.

back, and the beaches are lapped by fresh, though slightly brackish, water. Day-trippers from Buenos Aires and tourists shared our wonderment at this little gem of a place.

I watched my Uncle struggle through the task of trying to get various works done on his house. There was a general vibe of maĂąana, which apparently has something to do with the colonisation by the Spanish and their obligatory siesta-time; a totally different economic environment would have resulted had the English been the colonists. If the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;first worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a swimming pool, Uruguay apparently has all it takes to climb that diving board and jump in. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;But what do they do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; bemoans an editorial in a magazine for tourists. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Climb the diving board and sit there sunning themselves.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d chuckled at this. To me the Uruguayans were making an

intelligent choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; choosing lifestyle over rapacious progress. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come to the right place to take a chill pill.

The imposition of Splendour in the north of the Shire will create the sort of traffic chaos we see on Ewingsdale Road transferred to Brunswick Valley Way.

Approaches to weeds Congratulations to Bush Futures, Byron Council, NSW government and NSW Environmental Trust for their regular articles on noxious weeds in The Echo each week. The photos and informative updates on escaped garden plants which become huge environmental problems across our Shire, across our planet, help us all to understand the ramifications of throwing garden waste over the back fence, or irresponsible dumping in public spaces, National Parks, reserves or on the roadside.

The articles also help to educate all of us who innocently plant cuttings in our gardens, not knowing just how fast they colonise our personal spaces, and provide us with knowledge of native substitute plants or alternative suggestions to replace these weeds.

I really enjoy these weekly segments. Keep them coming !

A day when the world stands still John Campbell

As prep for this piece, I thought it might be an idea to check out the entries for December 25 in the diaries that I have kept for the last ten years. It was, you are right to say (albeit with a degree of sarcasm that is not absolutely necessary), more research than I’ve bothered undertaking for anything else that I’ve written for my boundlessly tolerant employer (grovel).

Mind you, because my record keeping was done at the close of play, after lengthy sessions of belly-bursting, brainbroiling indulgence, the quality of my penmanship only infrequently rose above the illegible. And, being a born liar, there is also the question of how much I can believe of my own testimony.

Nevertheless, what I discovered was that it has consistently been the single day of the year on which nothing of any import happened. Once I had to rush my cat Portnoy to the vet and pay after-hours rates to save him from dying with tick poisoning, but as that happened on the 26th, during the Boxing Day Test (G D McGrath was bowling to Inzamam ul Haq), it doesn’t really count as a blight on the occasion – if anything, I fancifully related it to the Flight into Egypt, with my moggy as baby Jesus and the tick as Herod (Portnoy never lived up to the rap).

Then it dawned on me.

The more I read through my Christmas Day notes, the more my warm and fuzzy memories were confirmed. There is simply no evidence to suggest that I’ve ever had anything other than a cool Yule.

As our society’s moral pendulum swings irrevocably towards self-pleasuring cynicism, there is a growing number of irate types who trudge around saying ‘fuck Christmas’ – you know, the boastful atheists, the Assangeists, the ‘everything

But I enjoy the joy, and I wallow in the heavenly relief of having miraculously negotiated another twelve months of unanticipated molehills from which I’ve made precipitous mountains.

So if I run true to form – and, being a creature of habit, you can bet pounds to peanuts that I will – I’ll get up early, make a bowl of hummus (you won’t get any better this side of Damascus, if I do say so myself), decant a cask of De Bertoli (for when we’ve reached the point where we don’t care what we’re drinking), try and find a dozen glasses that aren’t chipped, ring my sister in Sydney (it makes a pleasant change from her calling me with the news that somebody’s carked it) have a swim, then slug out on the lounge for a few hours.

To get myself into an appropriately elevated frame of mind, I’ll watch a DVD or two (last year, according to my diary, it was Kick Ass and Psycho – I seem to recall that Norman Bates came across as darkly ethereal. A biblical weirdo).

Invariably, Morty and Ruthie Eisenstein are first to arrive. I wish them happy Hanuka as Ruthie makes room in the fridge for her legendary rumballs and cassata. She suggests that I transfer some of my VB stubbies to the Esky, I tell her I’ve already filled it. Morty’s off the piss, but Ruthie’ll ask you to stop pouring the champers only when it’s dribbling over her fingers.

Boudicca, incidentally, has been away sailing with her partner Bluebeard, blogging irrepressibly about the tides, winds and currents in Queensland waters (and in doing so making Tolstoy read like Will Ferrell), so I won’t be surprised if Estonia calls for the doctor earlier than usual this year.

The aunt who bolted, trailing clouds of madness Victoria Cosford

From darkest Tasmania arrives a Christmas card. It is from Auntie Kay, to her favourite niece, the graceful cursive script in no way betraying the fact she is a madwoman in her mid-eighties.

It has only been the last few years that my mother’s older sister has cautiously, gradually been re-admitting herself into our lives. So far it is only my mother and me presumably the forgiven, and perhaps it will stop there. Certainly, to our knowledge, she remains estranged from her three children and the several grandchildren they produced – grandchildren she has never even met.

The way my mother tells the story, it was Kay who inherited their father’s madness. And I

had to turn into an adult before that particular fact – my mad grandfather – was confided in me, together with even more unpalatable details like electric shock treatments and recurring bouts of depression.

Kay’s madness manifested itself in a completely different way. There she was happily, it was assumed, married to Uncle Bill, above whom she towered – Uncle Bill whose impenetrable Scottish accent he never managed to lose in spite of decades in Australia, Uncle Bill who spurned ordinary chairs and seating in order to squat, monkey-like, on the floor alongside whomever he was addressing.

They were no odder a couple than most – least of all than my parents with their twenty-year age difference. Kay and Bill bore a daughter and two sons and shared Christmas with our

18 December 20, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

family and the grandparents every year, alternating houses.

The two main things I remember about Auntie Kay were her Avon Lady phase and her Indonesian period.

The former consisted of visits to our place whereupon, after extracting pots and tubes and palettes and brushes from her handbag, she would perform for me and my friends makeup demonstrations on our flawless eleven-year-old faces.

She would leave tiny lipstick samples in frosted shades and a talcum trail of Soft As Silk fragrance in her wake. Then she became enamoured of all things Indonesian, including the people themselves: suddenly, if it happened to be Christmas at her place, there

would be an additional five or six bewildered Balinese guests perched uncomfortably among us, grinning toothily, not a word of English between them. We were children and, as many children seem to be, completely accepting, if a little mystified.

I was living overseas when I heard about it. Both my grandparents had died within several years of each other and Kay had moved swiftly in, packed up the contents of the house and sold them, with no consultation whatsoever with the other remaining offspring, my mother. That was the first thing. The second thing she did was to announce that she was leaving Bill and running away with Craig to Tasmania.

<echowebsection=Articles>

We had all met Craig, a bland soft-edged man everyone assumed was gay. Maybe not, then. At any rate, that is what Auntie Kay did. She turned her back on her understandably outraged children, the man she had married, her own already betrayed sister and her entire Canberra life.

She disappeared. Some five years later Uncle Bill suffered a major cardiac arrest in a dubious Balinese guesthouse in the arms of – my mother’s words – some slip of a girl.

And then my mother began to hear from her sister. Craig had died of cancer; Kay had started to go on annual cruises. What was more, she was threatening to come all the way to Canberra and take my

mother out to lunch; apparently the Parkroyal did a very nice smorgasbord.

There ensued the annual visits, inevitably related to me in letters with the sort of uproarious nastiness in which my mother excels. She, my mother, said that she was always glad of the advance warning Kay gave her to preface the visits in order that she could mentally scroll her way through the lists of conversational topics to be avoided at all costs (successful daughters; politics and religion and sex) – which usually left just the cosy, comforting one of health. There were few subjects Auntie Kay was happier to discuss than health and hospitals.

It was in fact a health-related issue which re-established the connection between Auntie Kay and me. Increasingly concerned about my normally robust mother, I had finally sent Auntie Kay a card expressing my fears. The funny part was, once the danger was past and my mother’s customary tartness restored, that Kay had started ringing her up and bossing her around as she had done their entire lives. And yet I feel glad that after all this time and all this madness we exist once more for each other. Despite my decision not to send cards this Christmas, I will make an exception for Auntie Kay.

Celebrating its 14th birthday this month, the Byron Visitor Centre, located in the old Stationmaster’s cottage behind the main bus stop in Byron Bay, receives more than a quarter of a million enquiries per year.

The Byron Visitor Centre educates and encourages our visitors to stay longer through identifying the visitors’ needs, converting the enquiries into bookings and generating more referrals for local accommodation and tour operators. According to Jill Kelly, who recently joined the team as manager the Byron Visitor Centre, ‘we are focused on introducing the destinations stories, so visitors can more fully understand the experiences, and identify which services would add value to their holiday experience within the region’.

Engineering our lives nanoparticle by nanoparticle Mary Gardner

One part of science constantly asks ‘What happens if we break it apart?’ Back in 1944–45, Robert Oppenheimer and Oswald Avery both led science teams chasing this question. The first team split atoms, created the bomb and ushered in the Nuclear Age. The second team broke open single-cell bacteria and identified nucleic acids (DNA) as the chemicals of inheritance. Since then, global laboratory breakthroughs empower an Era of Biotechnology.

‘Biotechnology’ means every type of genetic and molecular engineering. Living beings or their living parts or their active processes are made into procedures and products for medicine, agriculture, food technology, energy, electronics and more. Enthusiasts in research, business and government will label these ‘life sciences’. But this narrows the original meaning while excluding many valid questions and important methods of biology as a whole.

Accountants Ernst and Young report that in 2010, companies in Australia, Cana-

da, Europe and the US earned a ‘record-breaking aggregate net profit of US$4.7 billion, a 30 per cent increase from the previous year.’ India and China are swiftly becoming major players.

The federal government actively promotes international investment in almost 500 Australian enterprises. These focus in three key sectors: human therapies, farming and procedures plus equipment known as biodiagnostics and nanotechnology. In 2008, 399 international alliances were made with overseas companies. By 2010, the budget allocated $38.2 million over four years in a program called National Enabling Technologies Strategies. These funds support policy and public awareness campaigns with $18.2 million to the National Measurement Institute to develop nanotechnology.

Behind the glowing finance and company reports, each Australian biotechnology sector is full of controversy. Government publications such as Life Scientist magazine, website and school materials address this while promoting the

industry. The NGOs Gene Ethics, MADGE, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace provide critiques and campaigns.

Meanwhile, Australia hosts 4153 of the world’s 5713 registered clinical trials, licenses field trials for more than a dozen GM crops and uses GM materials and nanoparticles in various products.

Medical research uses living cells from adult and embryo humans, animals and plants as well as bacteria. One controversy is that since 1973,

inventions. The recommendation is made by a committee deeply divided. Half of the report’s eight concerns were to keep intellectual property laws aligned with the overseas research and trading partners such as the US, where such patents are already given.

But Australia is also party to the International Convention on Biodiversity and is asked to ratify the 2010 Nagoya Protocol about access to genetic resources and equitable benefit sharing. Are cultures of human cells also biodiversity? Biologist Leigh Van Valen classifies the immortal cells of Henrietta Lack as a species in its own right.

Her cells, taken without consent before she died of cancer in 1951, are used in labs the world over to this day. There are now almost 11,000 patents based on her cells. What does this mean to her family, only recently informed? What could this mean to you and yours?

much research is by private companies, rather than universities working for public good. These companies want to safeguard their investment with patents. Now even universities want to hold – and profit – from patents.

In late September 2011, the Senate Committee recommended that the Senate should reject Senator Bill Heffernan’s GM trends Patent Amendment Bill.

A Bush Futures weed warning on Umbrella Tree (Echo 6.12.11) fails to mention that it is a native of Australia though admittedly not found this far south of its northern Australian habitat prior to the magical date of 1788.

Tim Flannery mentions that vegetation is migrating southward in the southern hemisphere or up mountains in endeavor to find cooler conditions.

Since ecosystems are dynamic rather than static, why do we not accept the possibility that Umbrella Tree in subtropical or littoral rainforest, is

do not yield in the quantities promised and destroy the genetic diversity from which they are developed. Other reports blame GM foods for different illnesses, including Morgellon’s disease Unlike medical biotech, GM crops exist out-of-doors and its seeds are taken away from companies by nature itself. If losing control of barely visible parcels of genetic material worries companies, then nanoparticles are ongoing migraines.

This third sector of biotechnology works on the level of molecules. Some, such as nanoparticles in many sunscreen lotions, are for human use though they wash off and enter the sea. Some are being designed as tiny self-operating machines which make copies of themselves. That’s also the definition of a virus. Who controls them?

Uncertain future So will the Senate approve patents on life? Are we already fated to eat GM wheat and suffer long-term effects of pesticides? Will nanoparticles become plankton food and upset marine life?

Speculative fiction makes some suggestions. Freeman Dyson, physicist, imagines a future where deregulated and unlicensed genetic engineering will become the play of teenagers in kitchens, creating fun organisms.

Margaret Atwood, author, presents a sequel event to her near future biotech novel Oryx and Crake. She visits cathedrals throughout the world, hosting readings of The Year of the Flood. An engineered plague devastates humanity but for a few survivors and a colony of GM humanoids. Both groups try to manage using skills handed down through a religion based on biology and ethics dating from before the advent of biotechnology. the adding of diversity, not its diminution?

The Byron brand is associated with catchwords such as ‘Naturally’, ‘Alternative’, ‘Uniqueness’ and ‘Diversity’, an image that paints us as one big La-La-Land by the ocean, where everything is ‘Cool and Happy’.

However the Byron reality is very different – dirty streets littered with beer and wine bottles, take-aways and of course vomit, all discarded by the drunks in pursuit of a continued on page 22

Just this week I signed onto my first mortgage. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been so delighted to be so heavily in debt. For the next thirty years the bank owns my spotty white arse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long slog, but finally the prospect of being in my very own home is only a DA away. (We are talking Byron Council hereâ&#x20AC;Ś letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope all the kids havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left home before we get the rubber stamp! Otherwise we may be the proud owners of Mullumbimbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first backpackers.)

Of course the dream home still needs to be built but we have been assured that a team of Amish navvies will come in and knock the whole thing together in a weekend.

To date Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a renter.

There is a definite freedom in renting, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restrictive. In my twenties when I was happy to live with a mattress on the floor with a sarong-covered milk crate for a bedside table and a broomstick for a closet it was perfect. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a razoo about making my home attractive; I just needed a lair where I could drag my victims.

But as my nesting urge kicked in and the kids started turning up I realised that the home was more than a place to sleep, get drunk and drop your knickers. The house was a place to display oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womanly attributes. Clearly I needed to get my bed off the floor and get a life. I realised the home wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just shelter; it was my birdie nest that other women were able to use to judge my ability to perform.

As a renter, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so much you can do to make a shithole a palace, although I have since discovered thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot you can do to make a palace look like a shithole. Up until now, unlike most of my fellow middle-aged breeders Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been bitten by the desire to own my own home. It just never seemed possible. I am a standup comedian, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like banks were knocking themselves out to give me money.

In fact years ago when I was

(enrol before January 11) shopping my debt potential with major lenders I think the biggest laugh I got all year was from a bank manager when I filled in the employment section of the application form. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Standup Comedian! Tell me a joke!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Knock Knock, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there?

But now, after years of slogging away, working 50-plus hours a week, catching up on seven years of unfiled tax returns, paying my tax debt, keeping up to date on my current tax, lodging regular returns, slowly increasing my income as a sole trader, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve submitted my details and I have been legitimised by a financial institution as a person deemed fit for debt.

agers. We considered setting up a small caravan park. We considered Lismore. We even made an offer. Then I had a panic attack. The walls were pale blue, the colour of school shirts, of parking rangers, of police officers. Sure it was affordable, but just imagining living there gave me an anxiety condition.

But with me in Richmond Clinic, that freed up some space for the kids. Then we fixed on Mullumbimby and looked. Six-bedroom houses were either non-existent, or

rambling $2 million mansions with a luxury pool and an olive grove. Christ, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even keep one pot plant alive. So we decided to build. So began the weekend torture of death by display homes. We must have looked at 200 display homes.

These werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the brick bunkers I imagined; these were open-plan, gloriously fittedout purpose-built containers for the modern family.

After 20 walkthroughs I found myself talking like a character out of Kath and Kim: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I definitely want cornerless stackers, and a plain cornice. And I really want to upgrade for a feature splashback.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After 100 houses I realised that the house we liked the most was the first one we saw.

Two hundred houses later I was certain.

The last house I looked at alone; my husband sat crying in the car claiming that if he had to see one more beige kitchen setting with indoor/ outdoor open-plan feature with a kitchen table sporting a decorative bowl filled with ornamental balls heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get out his own balls and make them a feature on the kitchen bench.

I made him look at just one more. So he did and I discovered a great tip for getting some alone time.

Teabagging on the caesarstone is a great way to clear a room.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Our society is run by insane people for insane objectivesâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Lennon Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an explosive brain fart of awareness for 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my first year as Echo editor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with it comes the realisation that the western model of consumeristic democracy is built on psychopathic principles.

What I mean by that is that psychopathic behaviour is not only encouraged by society, but is rewarded in all levels of politics, finance and business.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;classicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; psychopath is generally regarded as a serial killer, exemplified by Bret Easton Ellisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book American Psycho; however this personality disorder extends to those who are not so easy to identify. I believe that all of us have

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT 2011 NOTICE OF APPROVED CODES OF PRACTICE Notice is given under section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 that the following codes of practice are approved for the purposes of the Work Health and Safety Act:

some level of psychopathic tendency or persuasion, and some of us can hide it remarkably well.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ones that stay within social boundaries that are of interest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mass murderers are failures as they cannot integrate into society. What losers.

Psychopaths who rule and get away with wreaking havoc on society are much more interesting specimens.

The core characteristics of psychopathy include a lack of empathy and emotions coupled with a desire to dominate and control others for selfish and egoical purposes. This is only dangerous when coupled with advanced manipulative skills, (superficial) charm, and a highly adaptive intelligence.

Creating nothing The character portrayed in Oliver Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movie Wall Street, Gordon Gekko, is a corporate psychopath. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a memorable quote: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 90 per cent of the public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Interestingly enough, in the second Wall Street movie, Gekko is amazed at the audacity of the (real) bankers and their bailouts. Also notice how his character is a reptileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name? As Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was a Wall Street trader, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few hidden truths in that movie.

My real breakthrough with this topic was after reading The Psychopath Test by author Jon Ronson (who also wrote The Men Who Stare At Goats).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a personal account of examining psychopathic traits through interviewing ousted dictators, jailbirds and CEOs. The most revealing part of the book is his encounter with criminal psychologist Dr Robert Hare, who devised a test to formally recognise them.

That test is internationally recognised, but is, of course, well guarded and unavailable on the internet. Dr Hare keeps it close to his chest, along with the gun he is reported to carry due to random psychopaths

The most recent research, headed by Dr Hare, has isolated the part of the brain that administers emotion, particularly fear and empathy.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the amygdala, and unsurprisingly those without it (or reduced access to it) have a tendency towards psychopathy. And this is where it gets interesting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being a slave to emotion does not generally assist financial or material success. Sure, there are always

exceptions; however, making money and climbing a corporate ladder requires cold calculated risk taking. How many of us would be comfortable buying and selling acquisitions where peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs and lives are slashed and burned?

Ronson says in his book that the share price jumped for Sunbeam corporation when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chainsawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Al Dunlop was announced as CEO. Towns closed after he sacked thousands of workers and he is reputed to have enjoyed the process.

Humans have always been at war with each other and we are getting better at it.

In the second world war, the rate of soldiers actually firing at the enemy was very low, somewhere around 15 to 20 per cent.

Sixty years later, our species has evolved where armies train soldiers to overcome empathy and emotion by specifically targeting the amygdala.

So emotions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t useful for survival skills either. Are these people the next generation of a higher, evolved human? Clinical predators without remorse are at the top of the food chain as far as I can see. They are slaves to desires, not emotions.

Can anything be done? Dr Hare says that compared with other major clinical disorders, little research has been devoted to psychopathy, even though it is responsible for more social distress and disruption than all other psychiatric disorders combined. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Psychopaths donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel they have psychological or emotional problems,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he says on his website, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;and they see no reason to change their behavior to conform with societal standards they do not agree with.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to us nonpsychopaths to understand how to spot them and learn to avoid them. Perhaps in years to come, this disorder may become so well recognised that all politicians, world leaders and CEOs are forced to take Dr Hareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychopath test. Then all the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wars will end.

Byron good time.

But have you tried to cross the road lately? It is indeed shameful that our town planners have turned us pedestrians into second class citizens in this town dominated by the combustion engine.

It is a sad fact that there are only three pedestrian crossings in Byron Bay and all of these on Jonson Street within 500 metres of each other.

Meeting after meeting has been held on this topic but still the cars keep coming and taking over our streets.

How about directing all visitor traffic into the Butler Street Reserve? Then moving the markets over to the recreational ground on Marvell Street? Now that we have a new sports centre on the edge of town.

We could even leave the floodlights there and have the occasional night market.

All this could be done now without any great cost to our community. Do we need two sports grounds in our town ?

This would at least take the edge off our traffic nightmare till someone eventually comes up with another idea. %BWJE 4IFSMPDL

Items were passed along a spiral human chain — 108 people chanting ‘Om mani padme hum’ – to the stupa and then placed in the base. These objects are now sealed inside, carrying the intentions of those who offered them on their journey into the future.

There have been exciting new additions to the Castle’s Shambhala Gardens.

Inspired by a visit from Uncle Bob Randall, Aboriginal elder and traditional owner of Uluru, a Bushtucker Track has been created to honour the Indigenous culture of this land. Species along the track include both food and healing plants from many of the nineteen groups that make up the local Bundjalung nation.

Aboriginal artist Jeremy ‘Mudjai’ Devitt has created a stunning mural for the track, depicting a powerful creation ancestor traditionally associated with the Wollumbin area. The Rainbow Serpent brings positive energy and creativity as well as helping us access ancient knowledge.

The handprints around the serpent represent family and the concentric circles of white dots symbolise the meeting place.

VAST INTERIOR BALLINA

Vast Interior Ballina… where the difference is everything.

Different by Design – The timber signature furniture designs of Vast Interior are probably the brand’s best-kept secret. They are handmade as well as unique, made by talented craftsmen who pay attention to the details… but at Vast we believe that the most beautiful furniture in the world is not perfect, rather it is created by hand, eye and heart. It is that human interpretation of these original designs that gives all of our pieces warmth and individuality. Globally sourced products that are unique in design or origin also reflect our design difference.

Always searching, Vast Interior Ballina is built upon the foundation of offering infinite variety and an exclusive eclectic mix of cultural designs for the home. Our Eastern-inspired collections capture a world of colour heritage and quality craftsmanship. Vast Interior is different with a fusion of seriously well made solid timber furniture ranges, ‘found’ original pieces and handmade exotic homewares just waiting to be discovered.

At Vast Interior we are very conscious about the environment and our choice of timbers reflect this. Recycled timbers are used where possible and many ‘found’ original pieces have been refashioned from old doors or shipping vessels. We search the world for unique pieces from Indian artifacts, Chinese-inspired antiques, Balinese carved daybeds and pottery to exquisite handmade cushions and textiles from Asia.

We are unique with an abundance of furnishings for the home to reflect your personal style.

Find out more by visiting our store in Ballina or checking out our website at www.vastinterior.com.au and make sure you join our Culture Club to stay informed of special deals and new offerings.

It just meant no school for weeks and no risk of getting busted for cutting class when the waves were pumping. What are the stories that you most want to tell with your music? Overall it would be good to use art to point out that all of us are essentially the same.

rallying against greed. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cause of most of our problems and the most insidious of human conditions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed that causes banks to foreclose on housing loans but make record profits for their CEOs; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed that causes countries to invade and capture countries for their resources; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed that causes companies and governments to turn a blind eye to environmental damage when a profit is being turned; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed that causes some people to have multiple â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; houses while fellow humans canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a drop of clean drinking water. I think the most important skill for us all to learn is compassion and the ability to share. If everybody is only concerned about themselves then there is a problem. What have TBG been up to this year? Not much actually; the year has been spent touring solo internationally. I supported John Butler and Chris Cornell. I also got to play at a couple of big American festivals,  which was a lifelong dream of mine. TBG have done a few shows/festivals this summer and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awesome to catch up with the boys.Â

I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION The average human being farts 16 times a day, releasing an amazing half a litre of fart gas over a 24-hour period. We are fleshy gasbags â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised that the sustainableenergy mob havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cottoned on, harnessing the fart supply of a giardia sufferer. They could be chained to the house in pairs to power household energy requirements such as hot water and cooking. Why, up in areas like Federal where the locals live off tank water theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so full of gas that in the future Santos may even consider fracking them.

Cutting the cheese is as much a part of normal human behaviour as sleeping; in fact in my experience most bed partners unknowingly launch the air biscuit while in repose, so why is farting still such a source of embarrassment? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not advocating that we replace the handshake with the botty burp. Public decorum is appreciated; I hold low regard for crop dusters. These are the flatulent infidels who silently pass gas while walking past a group of people and then quickly vacate the area, leaving others to suffer the consequences and in some unfortunate cases, suffer the blame. The most evil crop duster will do this when exiting a lift, knowing that when the door closes, although their identity may be revealed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only retrospective as the occupants of the elevator will be left to swelter in a moving dutch oven of gaseous horror.

I have to admit that I once caused an asthma attack with my farting. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claim sole responsibility: it was a double-barrelled attack. On a holiday vacation to my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, my cousin Lisa and I mounted a post-stew knicker-ripping attack on her younger brother. For well over an hour we dropped our nighties over his head and let loose some major window rattlers.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what my grandmother had done to that stew, but until this day I have never had such a bountiful supply of natural gas available so readily on demand.

Laurence, the receiver of the stink clouds, thought it was hysterical. He laughed till he cried. And then he stopped What lies ahead for TBG? Nothing on the radar past these summer shows. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m releasing a solo album early 2012 and spending the year touring behind that. My plan is to release music as Mat McHugh from now on so TBG will be on the backburner for a time. Do you personally or TBG have any new resolutions for 2012?

Be better people and learn Spanish. What role will Kid Mac be playing on the tour? Whipping boy mostly but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably let him on stage to play a few songs sometimes too. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good friend of mine and I dig his music and where he is coming from. He has my respect and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to get to go on the road with him for a few shows. What should we expect for the Byron show? Any TBG song

breathing. Suddenly Lisa and I became aware that we could be held responsible for the choking death of her younger brother.

We took the situation in hand. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get you any help unless you promise not to dob on us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The poor boy was turning blue but he managed a head nod, and not long after a helpful adult arrived bearing Ventolin. No one could establish why Laurence had suddenly fallen prey to such a violent attack, although my mother did notice that the windows needed opening as it smelt â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;like somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s died in the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He never dobbed.

PLUS special guests Manose & Maneesh de Moor

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a comedian, and I have to admit I still find farting funny. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sound that I love. A farting application on iPhone netted $10,000 in just one day, proving that I am not alone! The sound varies depending on the tightness of the sphincter and the velocity of the gas being propelled, as well as other factors, such as water and body fat. The auditory pitch (sound) of the flatulent outburst can also be affected by the anal embouchure. Meaning that fat people with cheek control rule the world. In fact there was even a French chap who could fart the national anthem. If we had that kind of talent in Australia, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep stuffing up the second verse. you want to hear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just come to the show and ask. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play it.

Or, at least, try. The Beautiful Girls play the Hotel Great Northern on Tuesday 3 January. With Kid Mac. Tickets $30 +bf from www.oztix. com.au. Doors 8pm.

HINES

Women are more repressed in this department than men, and in some occasions even manage to convince their partners they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fart at all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true. They fart alone. They enjoy long car trips scoring the stink velocity of their own putricity. (I made up a word, take that, spell check!) I once let rip with an impressive carpet stainer, then stopped to pick up a hitchhiker. I felt like Mrs Milat.

Alison Pearl Presents

DEVA PREMAL & MITEN

MARCIA

Since that murderous moment Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent most of my life trying not to fart. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet become a carpet slipper. These are old ladies who drop a cabbage curler and then pretend they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell a thing. I am more prone to finding discreet locations to launch a cheek flapper. There is no greater pleasure for the lone farter than the car. Here one can fart freely without fear of losing favour.

In parts of America farting is considered a crime. A 12-year-old boy was arrested in Florida for intentionally passing gas in class. Christ, if they brought that law in here thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be no boys in second class. In West Virginia a man farted in the vicinity of a police officer and then fanned the offensive odour in his direction. He was arrested on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve smelt some pretty bad drops in my time, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never thought it would take out a grown man!

THE LUCKY WONDERS PUT THE J IN JUMPING GOOD TIMES... THIS THURSDAY 22 DECEMBER AT THE BYRON BEACH HOTEL

Byron Bay-based folk/indie pop four-piece The Lucky Wonders have made a huge entrance onto the Australian music scene in the short time since they formed, with a trail of rave reviews left in the wake of their album Thirteen O’Clock, and mammoth touring efforts. Songwriters Emma Royle and WAMI Award winner Jessie Vintila first came together to create live music for puppet show Puppets Break Out, playing an 11-show season in the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival. The collaboration was such a success they were inspired to pursue it head on, and formed the core of The Lucky Wonders. They play the Byron Beach Hotel on Thursday 22 December at 9.30pm. Free entry.

Electric Forest is the longest-running dance-music production hub in the Byron region, renowned for cutting-edge tunes and the best of beats for the discerning electronic dance music freak. After many years of collaboration with Space Tribe in creating the legendary summer solstice parties in the hills of Byron Bay and a hiatus of a few years, it is high time the magical spirit of the cosmic/electronic/galactic federation of trance dancers rekindled the passion for these memorable gatherings.

Singing up the Spiritual Truth Some spiritual truths cannot be conveyed in words – but are carried instantly to the soul when experienced directly through music. Vaiyasaki Das, a tenor and international kirtaniya, travels the world transforming hearts by the chanting of the divine names of god. His kirtan music features inspirational sacred music gathered from many Kirtan traditions from India and Bangladesh.

Vaiyasaki, an initiated disciple of Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, spent many years in India and Bangladesh since the 1970s learning the ragas inherent to the various kirtan styles from master kirtan musicians, saints, and singers who inspire whole villages in Bangladesh to join in the ecstatic chanting of the spiritual celebration of kirtan. Since the 70s he has toured introducing raga kirtan and devotional Bengali music in five continents, recorded 12 CDs, and written two books on how the kirtan/yoga culture was transplanted to the West. He appears at Coorabell Hall on Saturday 7 January.

Playschool is a great way of connecting,’ she says. ‘If you imagine there’s one child sitting on the floor watching, and you might actually get that child up on her feet, spark her imagination, that’s really everything you want to do as an actor. You want to tell a story and for that to ignite something.’ In her 11 years with Big Ted, Jemima and the rest of the iconic Playschool cast, Justine has released three extremely successful CDs/ DVDs of childrens’ songs, with original compositions by pianist Peter Dasent and backed by some of Australia’s finest jazz musicians.

Justine Clarke wasn’t quite born on stage, but over three extraordinary decades in song and screen she’s easily made up for the few years she missed before she landed that first Humphrey Bear biscuits commercial at the age of seven.

Today she’s one of the most recognised and trusted faces on the Australian entertainment landscape: best-selling children’s singer, accomplished jazz chanteuse, internationally acclaimed film star, seasoned stage actor, and constant, reassuring presence on daytime TV institution Play School. At 12, Justine made her worldwide movie debut as Anna Goanna, riding shotgun with Mel Gibson in the blockbuster action feature Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

And always, she sang. Playschool was a new opportunity for her to reach a different audience.

A Very Austen Tayshus New Year

There is nothing quite as exciting as an Austen Tayshus comedy performance. The audience are literally poised on the edge of their seats as the Big Man of Australian comedy engages in a relentless, rapid-fire satirical assault.

It’s funny, frightening, fierce and informed. This is not just a collection of gags thrown together with a couple of catchy punchlines. Austen’s humour is about who we are and how we think and what happened in the cultural melting pot to make us that way. He plays provocateur to our values and measures them against our rather shaky identity as ‘Australian’.

There are few comics with the tenacity and killer instinct of Austen MIC DUO IN NA DY ’S RKE Tayshus. The comedy superstar who CLA E TIN ALEX PAPPS AND JUS RE COMMUNITY CENTRE first came into being in 1981 has the EAT TH ON BYR AT OL PLAYSCHO ability to take a room hostage just with 29 & 30 DECEMBER his tongue. He’s the closest thing the To Sing Australian comedy scene has to its very own Bill (2005) is a certified gold album, a rarity in the Hicks. Every Austen show is unique. He has the world of kids’ music. Its irrepressible tunes about ability to weave current politics, what’s happening watermelons, birthdays and libraries instantly in the room, philosophy, anthropology, religion entered the everyday family songbook and seem and of course sport, and let’s not forget the pope, set for a long stay. Ripe Theatre has secured the into one gag.

Aloha to readers for all your supportive feedback, and as midweek Venus moves into gregarious Aquarius may your celebrations be unrestrained and your festive smorgasbord joyous…

E

ARIES: If you’re not (heaven help us) getting what you want when the seasonal wheels speed up, then you rebels need to do the opposite – as in refine your raw enthusiasm and stay very still until the right moves come to you. May they be divinely inspired…

F T

AURUS: Tauran dancer Martha Graham believed great dancers aren’t great because of their technique, they’re great because of their passion. So meet the silly season’s intense momentum with your own creative steps and individual rhythms. Unleash your finest stylings.

Burn up the floor. Have a ball.

G G EMINI: With effervescent Venus in your house of adventure you already know these won’t be any kind of restful holidays, so a less-ismore approach to celebratory pleasures is respectfully recommended. And with travel gremlins troublesome, you score bonus points for defensive driving. Boring? Doubt it, Twins.

H CANCER: Ah, Cancerian moods: one minute wonderful, the next leaden. Crab muso Jason Mraz poses the pertinent question for these hols: If you find yourself in any old predicament / Try letting go of how it was and how it ought to be / And ask yourself what love would do now…?

I L EO: Leo Patrick Swayze describes it in the movie Point Break: It’s a state of mind, it’s that place where you lose yourself and find yourself. Otherwise known as the zone, it’s the destination of meditators and the best address for achieving serenity in the season of unreason.

Enjoy, Majesties.

J V IRGO: The coming fortnight flirts with the offbeat, the unusual, the eccentric and unconventional. So choose the route less travelled, the surprise element, the unexpected answer. Abandon your usual routine, forget the rule book, give your habitual restrictions and restraints the flick. Experiment. Follow your nose. Honour organic inclinations.

K L IBRA: Your cosmic choreographer Venus moving to progressive Aquarius suggests

They are bringing their piano player Bill Hucker and all the seats are out so you can sing, dance, stomp and clap your hearts out.

ditching thinking that’s become retro (but not in a good way), and resuming your rightful role as zodiac peace police during the festive follies.

That’s of course when you’re not swanning round just being Absolutely Fabulous, sweetie darlings.

L S CORPIO: Relentless festivities need the balance of dedicated pleasure pauses. Why not kick off with anti-war activist Donna Sheehan’s worldwide drive for planetary serenity via a ‘Global Orgasm for Peace’ (http:// www.globalorgasm.org/) on 22 December. No partner? No worries – simply focus on peace and go the Global O. M S AGITTARIUS: You’re presently being blessed with vigorous soul growth, involving sudden shifts and a more-or-less continual shedding of old skins. Trying to look cool while you’re morphing like a human chameleon makes great entertainment, so take it as it comes and everyone will enjoy the show.

N C APRICORN: Capricorns are highly organised list-writers who make plans and stick to programs. But if the next fortnight’s magical mystery ride rips your list to bits and chucks it in the air like confetti, so what? So invite life to do its wildest and revel in whatever creative chaos arrives.

O A QUARIUS: Been overthinking things lately?

That will change when this week’s Venus swishes into Aquarius requesting a full-body makeover, new do and wardrobe update… so far, so fantastic. Then it’s into that Aquarian scary place, your Emotional Zone brouhahaha! to round out the new you. Happy travels, Aquirkians.

P PISCES: Venus flits into her most impersonal placement this week with a warning not to take other people’s behaviour personally, because it isn’t intentional. Whoever said the best revenge is enjoying yourself wasn’t wrong, and how hard could that possibly be on the next fortnight’s perky party circuit?

Austen, a committed vegetarian in the eating department, is not averse to carving up the odd sacred cow. There is no subject he won’t dissect. Uncomfortable, confronting, but always illuminating, an Austen Tayshus show is both comic and cleansing. Austen remarked once that he sees his role as being a social agitator, as the prickle in the paw that makes the public think. He doesn’t need you to like him. In fact he’d probably prefer if you didn’t. Austen Tayshus performs with Mandy Nolan at the Byron Services Club on Monday 2 January at 8pm.

Tix are $15/20. He also appears at the Currumbin RSL on Wednesday 4 January at 7.30pm with Mandy Nolan as MC and Brisbane’s Matty Marr

Simply the best at Bluesfest 5–9 April 2012 Time magazine has called Lucinda Williams ‘America’s finest songwriter’. Lucinda returns to Bluesfest this Easter with a swag of new songs off her latest work Blessed and we can’t wait. Lucinda has been writing since the age of six, playing guitar since she was 12 and has been performing for the last 37 years. It’s fair to say she has perfected the art of creating intriguing, gritty lyrics to match her distinctive, haunting voice during this time. Blessed is no exception. This alt-country songstress had Elvis Costello among the guest musicians featured on her latest album, playing some scorching electric guitar that only further offset the strength of her spine-tingling voice.

Born in Louisiana of a poet and a pianist, Lucinda Williams won the first of her three Grammy awards in 1988 for her single Passionate

Kisses from her self-titled album, following which came a long pause punctuated by one album and various guest appearances, until ten years on in 1998 she hit the road running with Car Wheels On a Gravel Road which not only went gold but won another Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Three years on, in 2001, she earned her third Grammy award, this time for Best Female Rock Performance for the single Get Right With God, an up-tempo gospel rock song. Don’t miss Lucinda Williams’s sultry songs in this year’s Blues Festival… Last year it was Dylan, so it seems only fitting that this year it’s his nemesis, Donovan. His performance is an exclusive for Bluesfest, so this is the only place you’ll see him. He began his career as an itinerant folk musician in the mid 60s, but soon became known for his rich-poetic and emotive songs like Catch The Wind and Colours and his version of Buffy Sainte Marie’s protest anthem Universal Soldier. He then partook in the transformation of the pop-music landscape with a series of enigmatic and wondrous pop masterpieces that have stood the test of time and are used continuously on radio, television and film.

THE STARLIGHT WELLBEING EXPO IS THE REGIONAL HUB OF NATURAL THERAPIES INCLUDING: AUSTRALIAN BUSH FLOWER ESSENCES, TAROT, SOUND HEALING, PSYCHIC READERS, SPIRIT GUIDE ART, KINESIOLOGY, IRIDOLOGY, ENERGY HEALING, NATURAL SKIN CARE, SACRED GEOMETRY AND MUCH MORE. This year’s program has a special emphasis on Spiritual Creativity.

Everyone has a creative core but many never make that contact with it. The earliest examples of creativity are spiritually motivated. When we awaken our creative core our own personal spiritual wisdom rises with it. The resulting artwork is powerful and profound. Penny Chesney has been a metaphysical researcher for the past 22 years; she is a shaman, master teacher and artist with two books and three decks of cards published to date. Penny lost her son and daughterin-law in a car accident, with a surviving but injured grand-daughter whom Penny has cared for.

42 December 20, 2011 The Byron Shire Echo

Penny, could you tell me about your spiritual awakening that followed the death of your son? How did it happen for you?

It was extremely difficult for me as I had been a very logical and rational person all my life – I was encouraged to be logical from birth.

Anything ‘cosmic’ was to be avoided. I was dragged screaming and kicking into this New Age, digging my heels in every inch of the way.

I had a few friends who had come back from emotional trauma using various techniques, mainly reiki and homoeopathy, so I decided to give them a try. I tried a psychologist for grief recovery but that had limited success, mainly because my psychologist was at a loss to rationalise what I was experiencing. The weekly sessions of reiki, however, were extremely successful – they also identified me as a ‘visionary’ as I had amazing, colourful visions while the treatments were taking place. But the real breakthrough came from the sessions I had with a Russian doctor of metaphysics, Roman Karnak, who lived in the town near my farm in northern Tasmania. He told me that he would include in the ‘journey’ a ‘detour’ in which I would have the opportunity to confront those who were attacking me; he also added, ‘Let’s see if you have the strength of mind to change your own reality’. I of course thought he was crazy because reality is reality – or so I thought!

The other thing that I noticed was that my creative block disappeared entirely during these sessions. I had been in the middle of my third year of a degree in fine arts at the time of the accident but I lost all inspiration or will to create because of shock and stress. However, after my sessions with Roman I would come home and create drawings from my altered-state imagery and that was all I wanted to do. I would often stay up all night while I transferred the images from my mind to paper. This whole process raised a lot of logical questions – I wondered if this surge of creativity was happening because I was an artist or would it work the same way with everyone? So I then planned to extend my tertiary training to include postgraduate research and enrolled in a course in the ‘Bonney Method of Guided Imagery and Music’ – I am now registered as a level one facilitator of this method with the American Psychological Association and this is the foundation of the Globalight Inner Creativity workshops, an introduction to which I will be conducting at the Starlight Festival.

How does a mother cope with the death of her only child without becoming eternally wounded? Andrew and I had been particularly close – we shared the same interests and sense of humour (Monty Pythonish) so losing him was the most devastating experience of my life.

The year after the accident I decided to finish the last year of my degree. I was still in deep grief but found the diversion of the course a bit of a help. Early in the year a Fijian craftswoman visited the university, but we were warned that a woman would be coming with the southern students whom we must all treat carefully as she had had her only son murdered 13 years before, had become a recluse, and this was the first time that she had come out to any event. When they arrived I could do nothing but observe this woman – I realised that she looked exactly the way I was feeling inside. This raised the question: did I still want to feel like this in 13 years’ time? The answer was No, so it was then I decided to learn everything I could to take me to a place of spiritual and emotional harmony no matter how odd or cosmic it may seem. There is an old saying: ‘From our greatest adversities come our greatest strengths’. My close friend at the time was a Californian psychologist who had completed shamanic training with a Native American tribe and she was able to point me in the right direction. This added to the fact that a year before the accident I was in Santa Fe in New Mexico on sabbatical leave conducting

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Byron Services Club, Mon 7pm When Yi Liu won the 2010 Queensland Championship at the age of 13 there was little fanfare. The youngster had topped a modest field, and in 2011 Liu could only manage third place.

However, this week’s win by Liu of the Australian Junior Masters tournament in Adelaide shows that the 14-year-old has improved dramatically over the past 12 months.

Seeded sixth in an exclusive field of 10 of Australia’s best players aged under 20 (including top seed IM Andrew Brown of Canberra), Liu completed the nine round tournament undefeated, winning four of his five games with the black pieces.

Liu’s never-say-die attitude saw him save one or two games that could safely have been resigned.

For example, in the top diagram Liu (White) is in desperate trouble against local hope Fedja Zulfic in a crucial seventh round game. Zulfic played 42..g4? but after 43.hxg4 fxg4 44.Kf2 Kd3 45.Kf1 Ke4 46.Ke2 Kf4 47.Kf2 Black could make no progress. The game finished 47... g3+ 48.Kg1 Kg4 49.Kh1 h3 50.Kg1! Kh4 51.Kh1 Kg4 52.Kg1 h2+ 53.Kh1 Kf5 Draw.

Zulfic (Black) to play 44.gxf3+ Kf4 45.Kg2 Ke3 then Black would have won the game and most likely the tournament.

Coincidentally, one day earlier, World Champion Viswanathan Anand had won a game with exactly this technique at the London Classic; had Zulfic known about this game he could have won without effort. In the bottom diagram, Anand is Black against Nigel Short and he finished the game by playing 60...f3+! 61.gxf3+ Kf4 62.Kf2 f6! and Short resigned. a

research on American Indian art symbols for my tertiary research project. During that time and whilst practising yoga meditation in the garden of my hosts, I had a very strange and scary experience; it turned out to be my first involuntary shamanic journey but it was anything but relaxing. I experienced a total paralysis: I thought I’d had a stroke, and massive energy was coursing through my body that felt like ESNEY QUAN YING BY PENNY CH electricity. I do not know how long this state lasted and during the process I had a very clear vision, despite being wide awake and in a state of panic. My eyes were closed (and I could not open them owing to the paralysis) and the whole of the inside of my eyelids filled with a vision of the head of a gigantic bird of prey that was just staring at me. If my eyes had been open this image would have filled the whole sky. When the raptor finally turned its gaze away from me I became determined to ‘escape’ so I figured if I remembered how to move then I would be able to do so and that is what happened. I dived off the banana lounge in the garden and flew through the doors into my room where I just sat perspiring and shaking, in a total state of shock.

My host was the director of the Laboratory of Anthropology and he explained that in Indian country strange and odd things happen, but I was confused about what it was that had occurred. Then the next morning when I sat in a park across the road from the Indian markets at the Palace of Governors when a very old Indian came to talk to me.

He told me he had to speak to me because I was only white on the outside and red on the inside – he told me I had been a great shaman in the past but had lost my way. He also told me that I was going to enter a time of testing and that to truly awaken my gifts I must pass this test. I asked him how he knew I was here and he replied that the Spirit on the Wing told him to come to give me amulets of protection – one of these was a necklace of silver beads with three small turquoise nuggets. He then tied this around my neck while he sang under his breath – when I looked later I realised it had not been knotted but braided. He told me not to cut it off, that it was to stay there till my time of testing was over. This amulet stayed on me day and night until it fell off in the shower the morning after we found out that the custody battle was over.

Do you think as a culture we have the tools to deal with grief?

No way. Our society tries to be almost ‘sophisticated’ in the way we face grief so we suppress it, tone it down – friends tell you that you should be over it by now! In so-called primitive societies, they throw themselves on the ground, they cover themselves with ashes, they roll around screaming and crying, shouting and ranting and raving – totally unsophisticated BUT when it is done then it is done. Those primitive people have expelled their grief from the cellular memory of their bodies so do not succumb to grief-related illnesses.

We also do not even want to look at the spiritual nature of death. I thought I had lost my son for just eight years, then after I had nursed his daughter through horrendous corrective surgery I was at the end of my strength and I came down with pneumonia that I could not shake. The doctors wanted to put me in hospital but I did not have anyone to stay with my grand-daughter so it was out of the question. I asked for help, booked in for a reiki treatment in which Andrew appeared in a vision; he hugged me, told me the worst of it was over now and then he changed into a pillar of emerald green light that arced up over my head and into the crown-chakra of the woman giving me the treatment. Straightaway it felt like two corks popping from the instep of both feet, and dark energy rushing out like a torrent of dirty water. I even felt water inside my body as the level dropped. When it was over I was cured of pneumonia and Andrew has been assisting me with grief-recovery clients ever since.

One problem we often encounter is that if the death is sudden or they have passed over with serious worries about someone left behind, then it is very difficult for the bereaved to overcome their grief as they sense on a deep level the stressed emotional state of the lingering spirit. This is why it is so useful to have the spirit of my son helping me: he takes over and works with the lingering spirit of the deceased and talks them into passing over. But aside from that it is also wonderful to spend time with my boy!

What will you be sharing with us at the healing expo? I will be offering an introduction to the Globalight Inner Creativity Course – this is the course that I developed from the grief recovery sessions and my qualifications in Guided Imagery techniques.

The process takes the students to their own inner creative core – where we all have creative skills. However, this core is intertwined with our spiritual core; it was no coincidence that the oldest examples of art are all spiritually motivated.

NEW YEARS EVE BUS SH DANC CE CELEBRATIO ON AT REPE ENTA ANCE CREEK HALL FIONA O’LOUGHLIN BRINGS IN THE NEW YEAR AT THE BALLINA RSL WHEN THE BIG GIG HOST THEIR NYE COMEDY FESTIVAL

FIO ONA O’LOUGHLIN N AT T TH HE BA ALLINA RS SL FINISH 2011 WITH A LAUGH and book yourself a seat for the wildest ride on the North Coast when the Ballina RSL’s Big Gig hosts their annual 2011 New Year’s Eve Comedy Festival. House MC Mandy Nolan welcomes one of her favourite comedians to the stage, a woman the media have declared as ‘arguably one of Australia’s finest comedians’: Alice Spring’s mother of five, Fiona O’Loughlin. Fiona set out on her comic career a little later than most comics, and instead of regaling stories of her penis or not being able to get a date, O’Loughlin’s tales of housewifery and motherhood were a breath of fresh air. Her first festival show ‘Fiona and Her Sister (And some weird Guy)’ earned her the Best Newcomer Award at the 2001 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and she’s been enjoying sellout seasons ever since. In 2006 she took home the Piece of Wood, an MICF award for the funniest shows as voted for by other comics. In 2007 and 2008 she was nominated for the MICF’s Barry Award for Best Show.

Fiona has taken her story-based standup around the world, headlining LA’s world-renowned Improv Comedy Club, playing repeat seasons in Hong Kong and performing at Edinburgh Fringe, Montreal’s invitation-only Just For Laughs and the UK’s oldest, Leicester Comedy Festival. Fiona’s also been a hit on the telly with guest appearances on Sunrise, Good News Week, Spicks and Specks, The World Stands Up and a heap of comedy festival galas. In more recent years Fiona has overcome a welldocumented ‘battle with the bottle’. This, like the other aspects of her life, has become ‘material’ for her standup. O’Loulin has just released her new DVD Greatest Hits and just last month launched her first novel Me of the Never Never. Fiona is joined by standup comedian Garry Who. Alongside his successful career as a standup, Who is an accomplished actor with numerous movie roles and television credits. He starred in the hit Channel Nine sitcom All Together Now which screened around the world.

He also wrote and presented his own segments for the awardwinning adult literacy series The Reading Writing Road Show for ABC television, which also screened internationally. He was also the writer and host of the lighthearted national magazine show Just For The Record on Channel Ten. And when Ray Martin was fronting the Midday Show, Mr Who was the resident comedian for five years. Garry’s been around the block. He not only looks a hell of a lot like Jay Leno, he’s had a career almost as long. He’s a veteran comedian and one of the pioneers of the infamous Australian Sydney Comedy Store, nominated for an ARIA award for best comedy album in 1987. Garry is consistently touring the country and abroad, and is in high demand for corporate

RICHIE WILLIAMS AT THE OCEAN SHORES TAVERN ON NEW YEARS EVE

THE ARGONAUTS AR RE GO AT T LENNOX IF LOCALS ARE EXPECTING a quiet New Year’s Eve down Lennox Head way then they haven’t heard The Argonauts, the newest rock band to emerge from our north coast nursery.

This four-piece generates a massive sound combining shades of symphonic classical music, electronica and indie rock, to produce a Space-Rock show fit for a stadium. Since early 2011, northern rivers locals Mike Watson, Tom Doyle, Phil Reed and Anastassijah Scales have been hard at work on their first demo and bringing their music to the live domain.

All those interested in partying with Team Tavern and booking the free bus, pickup between 7 and 9.30pm on December 31st 2011 should call the Tavern on 6680 3222 or email their name, address and time to Kim@oceanshorestavern.com.au and visit the tavern on Facebook!

On 31 December, The Argonauts will ring in the New Year with Lismore rock gamers Blood, Guts & Firetrucks at the Lennox Hotel (from 9.30pm, free entry).

VAUDEVILLE SMASH H FOR BE EACHIE NYE E

THIS NEW YEARS EVE JOIN US on a journey back to the sixties.

A time of sexual enlightenment, social revolution, irresponsible excess and parties that would change the world...

WHEN ASKED TO DESCRIBE their sound, Vaudeville Smash told it how it is.’ I think the basis of the band is a sound rooted in 70s funk, soul and disco, with a very strong songwriting ethos. There are always strong harmonies and dynamics, and an unashamed love for sitcom themes of the early 80s come through in some tunes.’ The band has a rare, intuitive way of playing together, which probably stems from the fact that there are three brothers in the band who’ve played music together for so long and so it all feels incredibly natural.

This is a band that will get you dancing. NYE Tickets on sale NOW! 02 6685 6402 or www.oztix.com.au.

Apart from the “commitment phobia” phenomenon that many of us experience every New Year’s Eve when it comes to where to see, sing, cheer, kiss the new year in; there is always the concern of getting “to and from” the venue where alcohol is served.

The proud new owners at The Ocean Shores Tavern have addressed this issue perfectly.

Manager Kim Berger said: ”We are committed to creating a vibrant and caring local community at The Tavern where all our staff are known for their charisma, enthusiasm and great service. Given this, we have organised a free courtesy bus to drive to homes within the Brunswick and Billinudgel region on new years eve.”

q

TRUE GRIT By mining the archives and transforming what was just a good Western into a modern classic, the Coen brothers at last grew up. Having won an Oscar, the boys belatedly gave the flick to snide quirkiness and, freeing themselves of their innate negativity and penchant for mockery, they produced a work of abiding compassion and wisdom. Compelling performances from Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon were both overshadowed by the astonishing effort of newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.

NEVER LET ME GO Movies can make you laugh or cry, they can make you sweaty with terror or breathless with excitement, but it is rare for them to leave you so psychologically disturbed as did Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuro Ishiguro’s futuristic novel. In a society that has a sub-class of people registered from childhood as organ transplant donors, love leads a couple to question their desperately futile lives.

Provocative, creepy and sad.

r THE IDES OF MARCH Gorgeous George Clooney proves that he is not just a pretty face by co-writing, directing and co-starring in this political thriller. As the high-minded governor who

o MIDNIGHT IN PARIS: A return to top form for the irrepressible but recently inconsistent Woody Allen.

A romance that defies the crassness made voguish by Judd Apatow, it finds a role that fits like a glove for the ingenuous but too-often juvenile Owen Wilson as a wannabe writer who allows himself to be overwhelmed by fanciful ideas of the past.

The City of Light is as much a star as the imagined artistic giants of the Twenties (Picasso, Hemingway, Dali et al) in a story that, because it is as light as a feather, flies without effort.

GET LOW We all have something in our past that we would prefer to see dead and buried, but it stays to bug us like a stone in the shoe. In 1930s Tennessee, the old coot Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) decides to throw a wake for himself before he dies, to get his life out in the open.

It’s a tough way to lay your burden down, but Felix at last finds peace. Duvall, Bill Murray as the scheming undertaker and the still-lovely Sissy Spacek form a peerless ensemble in a film of tender mercies.

WITH JOHN CAMPBELL is running for the Democrats’ presidential nomination, Clooney’s elan and integrity are unimpeachable… until the you-know-what hits the fan. Ryan Gosling gives his finest performance yet as the idealistic advisor who learns the hard way that it is winning and nothing else that matters.

t SNOWTOWN Oz cinema is good at doing low-life. Telling the shocking true story of South Australia’s ‘bodies in the barrels’ murders, Daniel Henshall creates a screen presence of mesmerising malevolence. As a study of a brutal sociopath and the power he wields over a group of society’s damaged fringe-dwellers, it is genuinely scary not just because it is factual, but because of the people involved – they walk past you in the street every day.

s RANGO Easily the best animated film of the year (indeed, but for Cars 2, the field did not attain any great heights), and it wasn’t even in 3D. Offering far more for grown-ups than for children, the parable of the green lizard who becomes sheriff of a tumbleweed town alludes to scores of cherished cinematic touchstones as Rango finds love, defeats corruption and comes to know himself. Voicing the part, Johnny Depp is better than he has been for some time.

u THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES An honourable and longoverdue prequel to the 1968 cult feature. Today’s CGI provides it with a far more convincing and disturbing sense of realism. Caesar the chimpanzee is no laughable extra in a monkey suit, but a creature with a brain and a raison d’être, while James Franco, his keeper, is a much more likeable protagonist than crusty Charlton Heston.

Engrossing and eerily prophetic.

who dismissively refers to ‘Hollywood crap’, stop talking to them. They are fools). In an action/thriller that shares its bloodlines with Jaws and Duel, a monster locomotive, minus its driver, is out of control and headed for a smash that will destroy an

entire town in Pennsylvania. Only good old Denzell Washington can avert the catastrophe. Do you reckon he does?

v MAD BASTARDS A wonderful film about Indigenous Australians (and blokes in general). Full of heart and humour, it does not for one minute play the ‘poor fella me’ card as the conflict between resentment and positivism is sorted out in the dust and glare of a Kimberley mining site. Centred on charismatic performances from Greg Tait as Tex, a cop determined to save his mob with tough love, and Dean Daley-Jones, the hard-as-nails but powerless man who has come looking for his young son, it’s uplifting, honest and without rancour.

Television Guide

THURSDAY 22 ABC 1

1. Christmas is usually a depressing time of the year movie-wise, with the old chestnuts dragged out and incinerated before the fire of hopeless sentimentality.

But this year there are a few decent flicks on offer.

Howl’s Moving Castle (SBS2, Saturday 24th, 8.30pm) is a charming Japanese animation based on the young adult fantasy novel by British author Diana Wynne Jones, in which a girl finds herself transported from the mundane to the exceptional and back again with only one tea break.

2. Apart from the old classics involving Bing Crosby, Charles Dickens or snow, the best Christmas movie a cynic is likely to see is Bad Santa (NBN, Sunday 25th, 10.30pm), a wicked, laugh-out-loud comedy. Billy Bob Thornton gives one of his best performances as the Santa in question, ably assisted by the clever script by several writers, including the Coen Bros.

Director Terry Zwigoff also created a doco on the underground cartoonist Robert Crumb.

1. What better way to start the New Year than with horror? At least it’s cheerier than the TV news. Van Helsing (Prime, Saturday 31st, 9pm) is stuffed full of Australians including David Wenham (pictured), who gives a great comic turn as Van Helsing’s monk assistant. Hugh Jackman is Van Helsing and Richard Roxburgh is Dracula. One of the stunning vampiresses ended up as Richard’s wife in ‘real’ life.

Critics generally panned this bloodsucker but we reckon it’s a first rate piece of cheese.

stations like to tinker with things at the last minute and sometimes make changes after we have gone to print.

Channel 9 (NBN, Gem and Go!) is the worst offender – they frequently change their prime-time movies and other shows just before screening, and Channel 7 (Prime7, 7two and 7mate) is not much better.

A Burringbar farmer Victoria Cosford Lance William was forty-five when his health began to deteriorate. If he caught a cold it would turn into pneumonia; essentially, his immune system was impaired, and he knew why. Born and brought up on the land in a farming family, he had been around pesticides all his life. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was growing beans and tomatoes and zucchinis with my brother as young as ten years, exposed to those dangerous chemicals and spraysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he tells me. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We just wore sandshoes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there were no masks in those days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we used misting machines. We think we did well to make it to 50.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And so Lance, now closer to sixty, went organic.

Bananas are Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main focus, although since becoming a certified organic farmer he has been taught the value of diversification, so also grows avocados and pawpaws and carambolas, mangos and citrus and broccoli. Bananas were what Lance continued to sell at his usual modest price at the farmers markets even when, post-Cyclone Yasi, they were commanding up to $18 a kilo. As he says, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their ethos at the markets, to look after people at a local level.

We have driven into the lush dense heart of Upper Burringbar, unsealed hairpin-bended roads through forest which occasionally parts to admit vistas of sculpted green hills and barely a trace of civilisation. There, suddenly, is habitation in the form of a big timber house, barking dogs and tattooed teenagers and Lance himself coming to greet us. On the wrap-around verandah we pull up chairs to chat against the stunning backdrop of the banana plantation.

This was Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land, much of the 200 acres now sold up or subdivided, leaving forty acres upon which he, Lance, now farms. Because it is all native forest with a huge insect population Lance finds it deeply satisfying that, since going organic, he is no longer disturbing the natural ecosystem. The rich red soil slopes downward but

ground cover ensures that none of that soil is lost in heavy rains and its nutrients remain. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The downside of being an organic farmer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he tells me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very labour intensive, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work. If you had undulating flat country it would be much less work. This property was set up for conventional farming, using Roundup. A lot of slashing goes on!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; For all Lanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief in the value of organic farming I am struck by a bleakness in his attitude.

He explains that what he is up against is the deeply ingrained conservatism of farmers, especially older farmers, who feel threatened by change. He says that a lot of the people with whom he has associated all his life treat him like a fool. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The older farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never change their ideasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Australian farmers have a reputation for being the most efficient in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but at what cost? They cut corners, and the cost, apart from physical and emotional health, is the cost to the environment. I find it so perplexing with agriculture because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so difficult to change things, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the archaic marketing system we work under, the old supply-anddemand system. I believe until thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a tough slog for farmers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got ideas how things could be changed, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty radical. The system is so entrenched â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everyone is so comfortable with the system in the supply chain.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lance does, however, concede that peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing awareness about aspects such as clean food, provenance and food miles, via farmers markets and education, gives cause for hope. He also believes that the value of farmers should be equivalent to that of professionals like doctors and lawyers. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Producing food is very important,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he quietly understates. Given the tenuous status of global food security at the moment, I could not agree more.

Undoubtedly, the most funny-if-it-weren’t-true story of 2011 came from Iran. It happened in Tehran, on October 29, during the Persepolis v Damash Gilan soccer game.

These Chrissie hols, if your game of backyard cricket erupts into a barney about whether or not over the fence should be six and out, or if it is a legitimate dismissal to catch the ball one-handed after it’s rebounded off a wall or fence, you might keep in mind that there is such a thing as the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.

I’d never heard of it until recently, but apparently its head office is in Laussane, Switzerland (where else?), and it has other courts in New York and Sydney (sounds like there’d be some portly junkets on offer for whatever suits get onto the gravy train, huh?).

To me, the very existence of such an institution is contrary to the ethos of all that we sports tragics hold dear about the games we love. How can it breathe the same air as the

As far as achievements in the international arena go, 2011 was fair to middling for the Green and Gold, with a few obvious standouts.

Byron’s own Kieren Perrow won the Pipeline Masters (onya Kieren!); Casey Stoner, riding for Honda, reclaimed the MotoGP world crown at Phillip Island on his 26th birthday; Sam Stosur cracked it for a major tennis title when she defeated the Amazon, Serena Williams, in the final of the US Tennis Open; Sally Pearson became world champion over the 100 metres hurdles; James Magnussen established himself as the world’s fastest swimmer in a ‘non-polyurethane suit’ (who cares what they’re

too chaste to begin with – unless they haven’t put two and two together). As punishment, they faced up to two months in prison and – wait for it – 74 lashes! I still can’t figure why poor Rezaei (who has over 500 adherents on an ‘I hate Sheys Rezaei Facebook page), the fingered one, should be in strife, unless he showed rather too much pleasure in the activity, but Nosrati has had his contract terminated and his career ended. Can you imagine what the mullahs might have done to John Hopoate!

Even more bizarre has been the continuing evolution of S K Warne from cricketing legend to A-List celebrity – or, to quote ABC Grandstand’s Jim Maxwell: Why are there no piano keys left in Australia? They’re all in Shane Warne’s mouth!

Clearly, the Shiek of Tweak is spending way too much of

the g’zillions he’s earnt from the IPL and his other lucrative business interests turning himself into Ken to Elzabeth Hurley’s Barbie (which makes you wonder how much we see of her is the genuine article).

Ahhh Warnie… I still miss him in the Baggy Green.

As for the national game, after the Ashes debacle, the test side flattered to deceive. The boys beat Sri Lanka, managed to get themselves bowled out for an embarrassing 47 but still draw a measly two-match series in South Africa but, after their embarrassing capitulation to the Kiwis, confirmed that they are, in fact, totally hopeless.

As always though, the grunt goes on, allowing us to eagerly look forward to 2012 and the mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs’ first premiership since 1971!

President of the New Age of Kindness and Intelligence FC, Gil Crespy, has been an outspoken critic of the treatment of Iranian football star Sheys Rezaei.

News Extra

Does Australia care enough about science and research?

Ian Chubb, Australia’s Chief Scientist, argues that scientists are an unappreciated force for good in Australian society:

intersects with policy-relevant scientific questions.’

That would be truly dangerous.

Most Australians, probably all Australians, are affected by science every day of their lives – from the soles of their shoes, to the clothes on their back, to the food they eat, the medicines they take, the transport they use, their ubiquitous mobile telephones (and landlines, too), the screens they watch, the airwaves they listen to.

But how many Australians pause to think, even occasionally, about science and its place in their lives? How scientific knowledge has been applied to their benefit; how scientists have worked to understand the very nature of things so that benefits might flow from that knowledge.

Contest of ideas

Falling into line ‘Not enough’ is the most likely answer. Because when science and scientists are attacked, for whatever reason with whatever motive, it seems there are more than a few who nod and fall into line.

Scientists have been called all sorts of things recently – corrupt, frauds, racketeers and so on – simply because their observations lead us to conclusions some people don’t want to hear, read or see.

We also know the best way to change the minds of people who may not have deep and specialised knowledge of a scientific field (most people) is to sow doubt. Repeatedly. And it works.

Australians need to care about science and more carefully judge the opinions expressed. All science is damaged when the very basis, the very core, of some science is relentlessly attacked.

As the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science was recently moved to comment: ‘We are concerned that establishing a practice of aggressive inquiry into the professional histories of scientists whose

findings may bear on policy in ways that some find unpalatable could well have a chilling effect on the willingness of scientists to conduct research that

Science does a lot for us now, and will in the future. But to reap the maximum benefit for humanity, it has to be able to do its job.

Scientists must be able to make observations, conduct experiments, interpret the results and present the results both inside and outside the immediate scientific community, freely and frankly.

As scientists, we need to engage in the robust contest of ideas – that’s the way science works. Scientists must influence the way we think by accumulating evidence, while remaining open to changing

of that will be of direct benefit to the lives of Australians. We can only do that if we have local expertise. The time is long past when we could expect the rest of the world to simply tell us what they know without the slightest contribution from us.

2. By contributing to the world’s stock of knowledge – especially beyond our weighted share – we get a seat at the table where the big decisions are made. We have a chance to influence outcomes, because we are a contributor. We get that seat because we are entitled to it, not because we are outside, hand out, palm up and pleading.

their view as new evidence or interpretations that have stood the test of close scrutiny are accepted.

And when there is a very substantial body of evidence pointing in a particular direction they are entitled to call that a consensus – meaning a majority view, not some contrived opinion or ‘groupthink’.

Science is not aloof from its community. Properly conducted science will operate within a framework of standards, ethics and sometimes regulation consistent with community standards and expectations.

A scientist can’t do just anything because they deem it to be good.

The peer community sets standards as does the wider community through prevailing values.

Of course, there are scientists who don’t like rules – just as there are drivers who don’t like the road rules. Scientists are human, but they do operate within a framework that is unsympathetic, to be generous, if they stray towards the unethical or the unconscionable.

Australian science has another important dimension. As a country with a small population, we contribute more than three per cent of the world’s knowledge as defined by research publications.

While that is not bad for a country with 0.3 per cent of the world’s population, it tells us two things: 1. We need the expertise to make use of (understand) the other 97 per cent, since some

Pandemics Both are important. Australia’s capacity to respond to the risk of future pandemics, for example, is much increased because we have the scientific expertise to assess and prepare.

We have the scientific expertise to ‘Australianise’ the latest scientific developments wherever they come from.

When you come to think of it, isn’t this what the Australian community should expect its scientists to be? High quality; ethical; sceptical; open to new evidence and interpretations.

But be constantly trying to understand the nature of things, so better applications of that knowledge can lead us to better lives.

Have your say on strata and community title laws The NSW minister for fair trading Anthony Roberts has announced a three-month online consultation project on strata and community title scheme issues to be hosted by public policy thinktank Global Access Partners (GAP).

Mr Roberts said the NSW government welcomed the GAP initiative, which will provide a valuable source of information for the government’s planned review of strata and community title laws in 2012.

‘2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s first strata title law, which commenced right here in NSW on 1 July 1961,’ Minister Roberts said. ‘In 1989, NSW was again a world leader when it introduced laws enabling the development of

community schemes, which allow for multiple dwellings on one piece of land.’

Minister Roberts said original strata and community title laws had been copied and improved around Australia and the world.

‘Regrettably, NSW laws have not kept pace with the issues facing strata and community scheme residents,’ he said.

‘The laws are outdated and no longer effectively support owners in the day to day management of their scheme or address the issues associated with ageing buildings, changing demographics and accountability for annual budgets that can amount to millions of dollars.

‘Since the first strata scheme was registered, strata has developed into the fastest growing form of residential property ownership.

‘More than two million people now live in over 70,000 strata and 1500 community schemes in NSW. Within 20 years, half the state’s population is expected to be living in strata and community schemes.’

Mr Roberts said the current laws were designed primarily for small, self-managed blocks of flats.

‘Strata and community schemes now include city high rises, townhouses, dual occupancies, offices, retirement villages and mixed-use, recreational and Tourism-focused developments,’ he said.

‘There is a general view in the community and it is one accepted by the government that the laws need to be reformed to more efMORTGAGE BROKER fectively meet the diverse needs of today’s owners and residents.

While the second consecutive interest rate cut is making property ownership for more first home buyers a reality, the stamp duty relief is on its final countdown, leaving very little time for first-time buyers to take advantage before it expires.

Prior to the recent cuts, interest rates had not budged for 31 consecutive months, leaving many buyers waiting by the sidelines. With the incentive presenting a saving to the tune of over $17,000 on property purchases of up to $500,000, it can be the deciding factor for first-timers to make a purchase.

Australian Mortgage Options managing director Robert Projeski said, ‘For first-time buyers that have held back due to the higher interest rates, there is only a small window of time left to arrange finance as well as find the right property and still benefit from the

current stamp duty relief for existing dwellings, which is due to end on December 31, 2011.

‘The state government offered the incentive to encourage first home buyers into the market. And, with the interest rate cuts motivating more first time purchasers, many will hasten to make use of the incentive as well.

‘I personally appeal to the state government to consider extending the first home buyer stamp duty saving, in order to allow these buyers the time to make informed decisions in terms of property and finance, and not be forced to rush in order to benefit from the stamp duty saving.

‘If the state government was really serious about increasing first time home ownership and boosting the property sector, it would extend its stamp duty initiative into the early part of the New Year.’

Couples are turning to sex to Tunnel Road – my car is very appreciative.’ deal with stress this Christmas. A new survey has revealed that couples are ditching the mistletoe and heading straight to the bedroom to get through their festive frustrations. According to the Bupa Stress Survey 2011, 77 per cent of Aussies believe sex is a great way to help manage stress, with 81 per cent of men and 73 per cent of women advocating the stress-busting benefits of sex. By the way, surveys are generated as a form of PR by companies such as Bupa because they fill quirky little spaces in newspapers or on air.

A resident recently back from Sydney notes: ‘The latest Christmassy trend, at least around the north shore, is requesting gift vouchers from local businesses as gifts, instead of Chinese imports. For example, a hairdressing appointment, a manicure, a massage, a car service, a meal at a local café and on and on. Supports our local industries and businesses.’ In fact it could be done all year round.

Ballina MP and now local government minister Don Page has found himself at war with the United Services Union over its claim that the state government plans to reduce the number of NSW councils from 152 to 16. Page refutes this and refers punters to the Draft Action Plan at www.dlg. nsw.gov.au, upon which you can comment until February 15. The plan is titled ‘Destination 2036’, which assumes that state governments will still be around by then.
