Hit and run fatality
A local fi refi ghter is imploring the community to work together to edu-cate young drivers aft er last week’s tragic car accident that claimed the life of a young man.
On New Year’s Eve, Phil Preston from Mullumbimby Fire Brigade was one of the crew called to a single-vehicle accident on Left Bank Road.
‘In the midst of the tragedy I thought to myself, “Th ere is so much we can do to prevent these accidents from occurring.” As much as assisting at fi res and accidents is part of a fi re-fi ghter’s job, another part is commu-nity education and preventing them from happening in the fi rst place.
‘Research has shown young driv-ers who attend driver education pro-grams have a 44 per cent reduced risk for having an accident.’
Mr Preston says he has been help-ing deliver the FRNSW ‘RescuEd’ road safety program to local year 10 high school students and recently at-tended the RRISK road safety presen-tation for Year 11 students.

The Marsh family from Cess-nock love relaxing in their thongs but when they get down to business at the 2012 Brunswick Valley Woodchop, it will be chain mesh socks un-der sneakers that will keep the lads’ feet safe.
Champion junior chopper Blake, with brothers Cameron, Brendan and dad Noel, will to-gether complete in more than 25 events at the festival.
Professional choppers from all over Australia and across the ditch will grace the chop-ping ring during the week and the ever famous, faithful and vigilant woodchop ring crew with be up to their usual antics inside and outside the fence.
This year’s chop will begin on Wednesday at 1.30pm and continue until Saturday. The last events will take place just before 9pm.

The Greens and the Northern Rivers Guardians have wel-comed a review into govern-ment royalties it receives from the coal-seam gas (CSG) in-dustry, which currently stands at zero for many projects.
The current generous regime was put in place by a former Liberal-National state govern-ment under Nick Greiner in 1991. It allows all gas miners five royalty-free years, before charging five per cent in the fifth year, rising by one per cent to a maximum of 10 per cent in the tenth year.
CSG leases are expected to operate for less than 10 years and experience shows some last as little as five. Northern Rivers Guardians president Michael McNamara said on
ABC radio Monday morning this amounted ‘not so much to a royalty-free holiday as a royalty-free lifetime’.
NSW Greens environment spokesperson Jeremy Buck-ingham said, ‘It looks like this exemption was written by in-dustry, for industry.
‘There is no reason why NSW taxpayers should subsi-dise the coal-seam gas industry while it seeks to roll out across farms and sensitive environ-ments in large tracts of the state.
‘Coal-seam gas companies like Santos are proposing to put at risk our water, agricul-ture and the environment, but will not pay one red cent in royalties for the first five years of production.’

Starlight healings
An area to the north of Julian Rocks in the Cape Byron Ma-rine Park incorporating reefs known as the Mackerel Boul-der has reopened for fishing until April 30.
A marker buoy has been placed on the southern bound-ary of the annual closure area.
The area to the south of this buoy is a sanctuary zone where all forms of fishing and collect-ing are prohibited.
The Marine Parks office in Byron Bay can be contacted on 02 6620 9300 for more.
Council is seeking a new per-son to help keep an eye on Council’s books and processes.
The successful applicant would partner with existing members on Council’s internal audit committee. The com-mittee was created in 2008 to monitor and review Council’s financial and operational ac-tivities. Committee member-ship currently runs for one year and involves about 50 hours’ work per year.

Internationally acclaimed art-ists John Dahlsen and Jan Rae are now showcasing their sea-scape art in Byron Bay’s � rst pop-up gallery.
A pop-up gallery is an art gal-lery that literally ‘pops up over-night’, unannounced, in empty retail spaces. Other shop spaces that have recently popped up around Byron include clothing stores and the Big Fish recycled furniture shop beneath the cin-ema complex.
Mr Dahlsen said, ‘David Gordon from Ray White in By-ron Bay has been an ongoing
advocate of this cut-priced or sponsored use of empty com-mercial spaces and has come on board as a major sponsor of the exhibition.’
Other sponsors include � e Great Northern Hotel and Earth ’n’ Sea Pizza.
� e exhibition will run for one month and will be o� cial-ly opened on Saturday January 14 from 6 to 8pm at 39 Fletcher, St Byron Bay.
It will be compered by Rob-ert Bleakley, from Sotheby’s Australian Art Auction.

Byron Shire Council has en-forced parking laws during the holiday season, with a blitz by compliance sta� on illegal ve-hicle use.
From 26 December 2011 to 2 January 2012, Council com-pliance sta� say they issued 550 penalty notices for infringe-ments related to street camping.
Of the 550 penalty notices, 90 were issued between 3.30am and 6.30am on 2 January alone, as Council o� cers monitored how people used their vehicles during the New Year’s Day long weekend.
Council sta� say that rangers will continue throughout 2012 to enforce local road rules.
A new movie, funded by the Northern Rivers Catch-ment Management Authority (CMA), aims to raise aware-ness of the local impacts of fe-ral pigs and the e� orts that are being made to control them.
National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) pest manage-ment o� cer Lisa Wellman said
that feral pigs cause consider-able environmental damage and the NPWS considers their con-trol to be a high priority.
Areas that wild pigs are found locally include Newrybar, Bungawalbin and Everlasting Swamp. A � ve-minute version is on Youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=i33xK70Tmfg.
A partially decomposed mer-maid carcass was reportedly found on Byron Bay’s Main Beach on January 1, 2012.
� e corpse measures 125cm long, it has a humanoid skeletal system with the lower half of a � sh. It has a human like head and neck, face, ears, arms, � n-gernails and chest.
Could this be proof that mermaids exist?
� is phenomenon will be on display, along with others, at the Space Cowboy’s upcom-ing show, ‘Imagination Rules � e World’, at � e Byron Bay Community Centre January 13, 14 and 15.

AYS FINAL DAYSStory & photo Eve Jeffery
Though police in the Tweed/Byron Local Area Command praised the general behaviour of New Year’s Eve revellers, staff from Byron Youth Service Out-reach Bus saw a different view.
Deborah Pearse, Jemma Brunell and driver Fi Hunter spent the evening keeping a watchful eye on the youth cel-ebrating and handed out food and water in the hopes of curb-ing some of the effects of the over-consumption of alcohol.
‘We were sober on the night so it’s always difficult to be in a really drunk crowd when you’re not in the same condition’, said Ms Pearse. ‘Perhaps there was a family ambience earlier in the evening in Byron; we weren’t there till later’.
Few locals attendedDeborah says that after
checking on the regular kids in Brunswick Heads, they got to Byron by around 10.30pm.
‘There were a lot of people and it was quite difficult to make our way through the crowds. We saw virtually no people from the area and lots of locals have told me since that they left around 10pm be-cause they could feel the energy changing. Quite a few people, including guys, said they didn’t feel safe in that crowd.’
The trio say they saw lots of pushing and shoving and had people crashing into them.
‘The rubbish, bottles and cigarette butts being chucked on the ground was mind-bog-gling. We heard lots of glass smashing and physically saw guys drop bottles and smash them or actually throw them.
‘The bins on Monday night in the top park were still over-flowing and there is still rub-
bish all along Ewingsdale Road, the path to Tallow and lots of streets around town’.
Byron Beach Hotel man-ger and president of the By-ron Liquor Accord Elke van Haandel said that she had seen many family groups earlier in the evening but had not been among the crowds later on.
‘I was actually impressed with how little they seemed to be drinking.
Bottlos shut by 9pm‘The bottle shops all closed
at 9pm so there was no oppor-tunity for people to purchase liquor after that; they would have had to have brought it in with them’.
Ms van Haandel said that many of the locals would have the opportunity to be at home at with family and friends for the celebrations which would explain the predominance of visitors in the CBD. She said it was the reluctance of people to buy a ticket into a licensed venue which saw so many peo-ple on the streets.
The BYS crew said that from their perspective it was the out-of-town mid-20s to mid-30s men who were by far the most intoxicated, aggressive, disre-
spectful and the main culprits for littering.
Ms Pearse says that though the entertainment was good it drew problems.
‘If you’re going to plonk a stage and a few rides with that many people around and have very little security for the num-bers, then there’s nothing for people to do but drink.’
Ms van Haandel agreed with Ms Pearse that the rides cater-ing to younger children and the live music didn’t leave the crowds with much else to do after it was finished.
Deborah says it was not a NYE problem but indicative of a larger picture.
‘There were just more peo-ple on the night so an increase in all the issues we experience all the time and at the heart of those issues are alcohol misuse and a complete disrespect for the town.
‘The NYE crowd was better than many we’ve worked in.
‘For us, we’re trying to set a good example for young peo-ple and at the BYS we have so many programs targeting binge drinking, but when they see that many adults behaving in this way, it’s a pretty big call to expect them to be different’.

Joan and Beryl, pictured front, along with VRA volunteer Penny, enjoy a recent outing at the Housie Shed in Brun-swick Heads.
The pair have been regulars every summer for over 25 years, which has been hosted by the Brunswick Valley and District Volunteer Rescue Associate (VRA).
As usual it’s busy times for
members of the VRA. Apart from assisting ambu-
lances in Byron Bay, the recent recovery of two bodies, the rescue of a person wedged in rocks on the south wall Brun-swick Heads, cutting a stuck young boy out of a canoe, the volunteer organisation recent-luy helped with the retrieval of two cats!
The major fundraiser for the VRA opens from 7pm to 10pm every night until January 21.
Stefan José, from production company Worx, in collabora-tion with Common Ground Byron Bay, have announced a charity photographic event called The Endless Sunrise.
‘On January 15 we will em-bark on a thirty-day journey to capture the perfect shot of our beautiful Northern Rivers sun-rise for charity,’ Stefan says.
‘We are asking that photog-raphers, professional, amateur, aspiring or anyone with a cam-era to join us on our journey to help make a difference in our community and beyond.’
The event hopes to raise money for the Positive Change For Marine Life and the Jonno Howell Photographic Scholar-ship Fund, which will culmi-nate in a gig at The Stone and Wood brewery. The event is based on sponsorships, and for more visit The Endless Sunrise Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/The-Endless-Sun-rise/183906638357590.

According to the Northern NSW Health Service, the men-tal health of youth in our region is on par with the national av-erage, with approximately one in fi ve youth suff ering from is-sues such as alcoholism, anxi-ety and depression.
Longboarder and Lennox Head resident Ben Dickens is ranked fi ft h in Australia and 12th in the world, recently winning both the Byron and Lennox longboarding cham-pionships.
How are these facts related? It is Ben Dickens’s belief that our oceans and rivers provide a remedy for much that ails our youth.
In conjunction with the Dis-tance Education Centre (DEC) run out of Southern Cross K-12 in Ballina, Ben operates water-based courses for ap-proximately 70 children who no longer attend school across northern NSW.
‘Th e system has failed these kids,’ he says, ‘and they’ve withdrawn from society. Oft en they’re too depressed or anx-ious to leave the house. Th ey’ve disengaged.’
Ben cites inadequate parent-ing or alcoholism at home, bul-lying at school, and surprising-ly, illiteracy. ‘Kids get all the way through primary school and they still can’t read, of course they drop out.’
Th rough his company Rub-ber Soul, Ben also operates specialist courses for Indig-
enous kids, youth emerging from juvenile detention, the elderly, and people with mental and physical disabilities.
Positive environment
Courses range from a morn-ing stand-up-paddle session to 20-week ‘job-ready’ certifi cate courses. ‘We take students into a positive environment, we give them exercise and a sense of achievement; the ocean works its magic,’ says Dickens.
One senses that enormous thought goes into each of his programs. Aft er he takes kids snorkelling, he sits them down with a fi sh guide and makes
them identify and research the fi sh they have just seen.
Aft er teaching body-surfi ng, he gives them the material to make their own hand-plane.
And aft er two hours out on the water, he shows them how to cook a healthy, nutritious meal on the cheap.
As for Ben’s ‘elite’ group of six competitive surfers, ‘If they don’t get a good report, I stop coaching them.’
Ben urges action at the fi rst signs of a youth withdrawing.
‘Everyone likes to pretend its all fl uff y fl uff y, that we’re liv-ing in paradise. No-one wants to admit that their kid is de-pressed, or anxious, or violent, or has a drug problem, or can’t
read. You don’t have to be their parent, you could be a relative or a neighbour, but you’ve got to help them.’
Self-fundedIt’s a sad fact that many of
Ben’s rescue missions are self-funded.
‘I don’t know where that $1 billion that Julia promised for mental health is going, but none of its ended up here,’ he says. He continues to seek pub-lic and private sector support to expand his programs for dis-advantaged youth.
Ben can be contacted on 0437 038 509 or by email [email protected].

A new plan unveiled by the state government gives higher density to highrises and no provision for public transport.
Tweed councillors had lit-tle option but to approve the masterplan, as the state plan-ning department hijacked re-sponsibility for re-designing the Tweed Heads CBD from
Tweed Council four years ago, using a town planning tem-plate it has imposed on other regional centres, including Port Macquarie, Newcastle and Wollongong.
‘No-one is going to build towers in Tweed Heads if they don’t have a guarantee their views won’t be built out,’ said Laurie Ganter, president of the Tweed Heads Ratepayers and
Residents Association. ‘Noth-ing will happen to central Tweed Heads. This plan will scare most developers away.’
Tweed Council general manager Mike Rayner told the meeting a recent report into Tweed Shire public transport found ‘no likelihood of light rail in the planning future’.
Th e masterplan allows build-ings up to 49.5 metres, or about
15 storeys, in some areas, while other sites will be staggered down to as low as two and three storeys. Among the big winners are the Twin Towns Services Club and the shopping centre owned by retail giant Centro.
Th e planning department is expected to approve the Tweed City Centre Vision Local Envi-ronment Plan and Development Control Plan, early this year.

From the age of 45 you are in cognitive decline: this is the major fi nding of a study titled ‘Timing of Onset of Cognitive Decline’ by Singh-Manoux et al published in the British Medi-cal Journal last week.
SCU associate professor of Health and Human Sciences John Stevens is an expert in research into dementia and cognitive decline and lifestyle medicine, and has spent most of the weekend commenting to the media on this contro-versial fi nding.
In what he describes as a ‘ro-bust study of over 7000 people over 10 years, it became appar-ent that cognitive decline, in
things such as memory, rea-soning, vocabulary and com-prehension started at 45 not at 60 as previously indicated in the scientifi c literature.’
Th e tests excluded lifestyle and stress-related issues and measured brain function on specifi c cognitive tasks.
‘It’s about looking at what happens in a large group and it doesn’t mean it happens like that in individuals; what they are saying that this is a trend in the population as opposed to what happens with every indi-vidual,’ said professor Stevens.
Interestingly the rate of cognitive decline is the same across the community and not aff ected by socio-economics, race or gender.
Th e only mitigating factor is lifestyle related.
‘Th e study commented that if you treat your heart well you treat your brain well.
‘What that is saying is that all the things we know about how to prevent heart disease, such as removing obesity, increasing activity, managing high blood pressure and high blood lipids, if we do the same thing for heart life it has the same eff ect for the ageing brain in slowing down cognitive decline.
‘This is not about demen-tia, this is normal physiologi-cal ageing process,’ continued professor Stevens, who believes that the fi ndings of this paper will have defi nite social impacts.
‘It means that we have to re-
think where ageing starts. ‘Currently the literature has
researchers working from the age of 60 to try and develop interventions for preventions or removal of ageing diseases like dementia.’
He went on to say, ‘World populations are ageing, so many people are going to be 45 and over very soon, yet the world is being designed around the idea that 45 is an adult without ageing issues.’
So if you are struggling to re-member people’s names, use the ATM or manage the apps on your iPhone, then don’t stress.
You’re not stupid, it’s just that your brain is in cognitive de-cline. Find a teenager to do it for you.

Local musician and piano tuner Reuben Barkley has just launched a book, phone and tablet app (application) called JamSpeak – a sign launguage for musicians that enables communication while playing.
Reuben says the aim is to cut the time wasted in jamming and rehearsals by band mem-bers who have to constantly stop to arrange music.
He claims it is also a tool that can be easily utilised by large ensembles and school groups.
‘With JamSpeak you should be able to halve your prac-tice time and rehearsals will become more fluid with less frustration’, says Reuben.
‘Th e feedback has been re-ally good. People make com-
ments on iTunes from all over the world and everyone is re-ally happy with it. Th ere have been a lot of fi ve star reviews’.
Reuben says he fi rst got the idea for the JamSpeak sign lan-guage about seven years ago and though the basis for the signs were developed fairly
quickly, he has spent the last six years refi ning it.
Reuben says he worked for about six weeks with a devel-opment company to create the free app for the iPhone/iPad market.
When the app was ready there was the process of get-
ting it past Apple. ‘Once the app is finished,
you have to submit it to Apple who review it and let you know if there are any changes that have to be made’, says Reuben.
‘What I had in mind when I made the app free was to just get the idea out there.’
Last week figures showed that the app had been down-loaded over 6,000 times.
Th e fi rst edition of JamSpeak is basically for use among band members but Reuben says a second edition will be released at a later stage which will see a wider and more uniform lan-guage that can pass between performers and sound check, live performance, studio and lighting technicians.

Local free-energy advocate Sol Millin is convinced that a breakthrough with cold fusion is imminent aft er Italian physi-cist Andrea Rossi presented a recent demonstration that was witnessed by fellow scientists.
Mr Rossi’s new invention is called the E-Cat, which is short for Energy Catalyser; and he claims it can create a low energy nuclear reaction at room tem-perature with consistent results.
He also claims that it pro-duces no nuclear waste or ra-dioactive residue. Th e process is a reaction between nickel powder, hydrogen gas and a third catalyst that Mr Rossi is keeping secret. A small-scale generator will be going into mass production shortly, ac-cording to the inventor.
Cold fusion, or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, emerged in 1998 as potential free energy, however was quickly discredit-ed, aft er repeated experiments by inventors Martin Fleish-mann and Stanley Pons were unsuccessful, .
Since then, occasional re-ports have surfaced; AFP and smh.com.au reported in 2009 that scientists had a possible cold fusion breakthrough. ‘Re-searchers at a US Navy labora-tory have unveiled what they say is “significant” evidence
of cold fusion,’ said the lead paragraph.
Forbes magazine says through its website that, while Rossi’s invention is yet to be universally recognised and ac-cepted, there are some encour-aging signs.
Contributor Mark Gibbs, says, ‘Rossi has been collabo-rating with a well-credentialed physicist and emeritus profes-sor from Bologna University, Sergio Focardi.’
Reputations at riskBloomberg has also reported
on Rossi’s developments; how-ever scepticism still surrounds the claims.
Mr Millin told The Echo of two other professors who are putting their careers and repu-tations on the line over the E-Cat. ‘Both highly distinguished professors attended and ana-lysed an experimental test of a mini-Rossi device in Bologna on March 29, 2011.
‘Sven Kullander is the chair-man of the Science Academy of Sweden and professor emeritus of Sweden’s University of Upp-sala and Hanno Essen is profes-sor of nuclear engineering at Sweden’s University of Stock-olm and previous chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society.
‘Mr Essen had this to say about the experiment: “Any chemical process for produc-
ing 25 kWh from any fuel in a 50 cm3 container can be ruled out. The only alternative ex-planation is that there is some kind of a nuclear process that gives rise to the measured en-ergy production.”’
Mr Millin also says he has been in contact with Mr Rossi since March 2011 over a poten-tial patent agreement.
Patent not acceptedAnother local renewables
advocate, Sapoty Brook, says that the jury is ‘very much out.’
‘If it is declared a goer by a credible authority it will be big news,’ he told The Echo.
‘But their patent applica-tion was not accepted by the USPTO on the grounds that it is inconsistent with established physical laws and a working prototype was not submitted as evidence. Since they are un-willing to demonstrate it even to get a patent one wonders about their authenticity.
‘It’s 2012 and time for a change,’ Mr Millin adds. ‘Are we about to kiss goodbye fossil fuels such as oil, gas, fracking, and uranium?’
He is founder and trus-tee of the Byron New Energy Charitable Trust, which aims to bring debate and a change towards energy independence.

T he case for reforming the structure of the Labor Party is unarguable and
it has been unarguable for many years.
When the Party was formed in Australia back in the 1890s, the workers were truly exploit-ed and unrepresented; the great strikes of the time, and particu-larly the shearers’ strike whose leaders were jailed, made the need for a political voice imper-ative. Th us the ALP came into being with the aim of asserting and improving the rights of the workers, under the control of the elected representatives of the workers, the trade union movement. And for the first fi ft y years or so of its existence this arrangement was both log-ical and satisfactory.
Blue collar workers, both ur-ban and rural, made up the bulk of the population and the ma-jority of them belonged to the appropriate union. Landmark battles over terms and condi-tions were fought and won and the Labor Party was acknowl-edged as the party of reform.
But its success brought fresh problems. With the rise of the white collar workforce and the growth of the middle class, the party need to move beyond its industrial base. It did so, and became a broad-based pro-gressive party of the centre left , increasingly winning support from intellectuals whose aims and ideals encompassed a far wider agenda than those of the factory fl oor.
Indeed, they oft en came into confl ict with the party’s tradi-tions. What had once been ar-ticles of faith – White Austral-ia, all-round protection, public ownership of resources, indeed the socialist objective itself – were gradually discarded as having passed their political use-by date.
And in the process the party structure changed; state branch-
es were reformed, the once narrowly state-based national conference was broadened and the parliamentary representa-tives assumed more power and freedom. And the monopoly of the unions weakened, their direct representation on the key bodies being reduced fi rst to 60 percent, then to 50 per cent. It is still, say the critics, far too much; these days less than 20 per cent of the workforce is unionised and in any case many of the unions are far less closely
tied to the ALP, if at all. And the rank and fi le party
members seem to agree; in recent years membership has been falling steadily and aft er the last election it became a rout; some 10,000 left , reduc-ing the total to 32,000, not much more than the crowd at a 20-20 cricket match and far less enthusiastic. Clearly, It’s Time – the need for change has become seriously urgent.
But there is a huge stumbling block: Labor is in government, and in knife-edge minority government at that. To start a major intra-party brawl over party reform in the circum-stances would almost certainly be suicidal.
In the past what reforms there have been have all taken place when Labor, federally at least, has been in opposition. Th e ma-jor restructuring masterminded by Gough Whitlam some forty years ago and even the minor reforms steered through by Si-mon Crean in the last decade
could never have been made by a prime minister – only a deter-mined opposition leader could aff ord to take the crash through or crash approach needed to break down the entrenched barriers of self interest.
So it is both silly and pointless of the commentators to censure Julia Gillard for her reluctance to enter the fi ght. And it borders on hypocrisy for Bob Hawke to be among the chief urgers.
Speaking in the ex-cathedra manner which has become his
hallmark, the former leader said last recently: ‘The party will always be sympathetic to the interests of working men and women, but that doesn’t mean there has to be what is now an almost suff ocating un-ion infl uence.’
Well, true enough, but how did it get to be that way? When Bob Hawke left the un-ion movement to enter parlia-ment in 1980 the need for a reduction in union dominance was already obvious, but that did not stop Hawke using it, and doing so ruthlessly. He persuaded his union mates to deny Bill Hayden the agree-ment for wage restraint he had been seeking, thus weakening Hayden’s leadership in prepa-ration for his own takeover.
Th at accomplished the un-ions immediately delivered the prices and incomes accord, giving them more direct po-litical power than they had ever dreamt of; for most of Hawke’s term in government the ACTU
secretary Bill Kelty eff ectively held the role of a senior cabinet minister, being consulted on all major policy matters and holding an implicit power of veto on those concerning un-ion matters.
At the same time Hawke en-couraged the developing and strengthening of the union-controlled factions within the caucus; the legendary warlords of the right, Graham Richard-son and Robert Ray, became his enforcers and protectors within the party room, at least until Richardson deserted him for Paul Keating.
And it need hardly be said that no suggestion of reforming the party structure emerged at any time during the eight years of his prime ministership. If the union infl uence is now so suffocating the party, this is when they got the lethal pillow.
Gillard is not averse to the idea of reform; she supported token changes during last year’s national conference, and al-though they made no real dint in the union leaders’ power, they did signal that at least the idea is back on the table, and that it will merit genuine atten-tion – at the appropriate time.
And it may not be too long delayed. If the polls are to be believed, Labor is heading for a catastrophic loss at the next election. What better oppor-tunity to rebuild the smoking ruin from its very foundations?
There will, of course, be plenty still keen to squabble over the spoils of defeat; in the Labor Party there always are. But there will also be the tough-minded idealists concerned with revival, reconstruction and re-engagement. Th ankful-ly, the Labor Party has always produced a few of those as well.
During the 1960s and 70s it used to be a matter of pride among the radical young – before they moved on to make a killing in the stockmarket and buy the beach house at Newport – to be on record with our homegrown secret service, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). It didn’t take much to come under surveillance – a few attendances at the highly-disorganised meetings of the Student Underground, waving a placard in a vigorous manner at a couple of anti-war rallies or joining some outlandish fringe group such as Jesus People For Compassionate Embroidery. Pretty much anyone with political leanings left of Genghis Khan was fair game and, as always, our spooks had to justify their budget by looking like they were keeping an eye on dangerous elements plotting to bring down our democratic television-watching way of life.
Now it appears our freedom-loving federal Labor government has the Australian Federal Police spying on environmental groups. Documents obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald show that that radical Labor fi rebrand, resources and energy minister Martin Ferguson, has spooks shadowing anti-coal protesters and various environmental groups. Marty raised concerns with the attorney-general in 2009 over ‘issues-motivated activism, and the possibility of disruptions to critical energy infrastructure sites’. Heaven forbid that anyone should be motivated by issues. What Fergie is really saying is that we don’t want anyone to interfere with the royal progress of commerce, our shifting of large amounts of coal to China so we have the funds to deal with the ‘greatest moral challenge of our times’ – voting for the right contestant on Australia’s Got Talent.
It’s all a bit pathetic, really. Your cops on the street can easily deal with the more radical protesters intent on a bit of ‘infrastructure damage’. What really needs surveillance is the bloated and inept ambitions of our security agencies and the spineless kow-towing of government to commercial imperatives.

Vulnerable womanLast Saturday night, two of my girlfriends and I were heading home from an evening out. It was about midnight, and we picked up a 21-year-old woman who was hitching along Broken Head Road. She was in quite a state, aft er a man had stopped to off er her a lift . She had a bad feeling about him, and, follow-ing her instinct, she didn’t get in his car. For the next while he kept ‘passing’ by her in his car, so she started to become extremely anxious.
She had phoned a taxi driver and then discovered she had
no more charge left on her phone. When the taxi driver arrived she explained to him that she could not pay him, as she had no money, but that she was desperate and frightened because this same man kept driving past her. Th e taxi driver refused to help her, based on the fact that she had no money. So he left her there.
Which is where I am a tad concerned. He left her, know-ing that she was possibly being stalked, in a dark and lonely section of Broken Head Road.
I understand that she should probably have organised to
have had enough money to see herself home, that hitch-ing solo is probably not a great idea, especially at night, when one is a little intoxicated, and that cab drivers need to earn dollars and can’t just be a free service for the disorganised.
However, my concern is that the taxi driver did not even of-fer to call the police on her be-half – a police car hovering in the area would certainly send a potential predator running.
I actually phoned the po-lice when I got home and the young female constable who answered was fantastic and im-
mediately sent a police car out to the same area to investigate the white car that had been de-scribed by the young woman.
The incident highlights a carelessness, a crucial lack of compassion, on the part of the taxi driver. I wonder whether he would have been legally re-sponsible had something hap-pened to the girl, aft er she had asked for help.
I write this letter in the hope that taxi drivers are reminded

Calls to resist festival plans at Yelgun via PAC OMG! I am just wondering
how many of us locals in the north of the shire are asleep to what is about to be let loose upon our special and tranquil part of this world with the Dept of Planning’s incredulous approval of the Yelgun festi-val site! We are the ones who pay the rent/rates and have invested our lives on a daily basis to live here, raising our children in a safe and peace-ful environment. Each holiday period we naturally deal with a few hundred extra visitors on our Ocean Shores streets, shopping queues, beaches etc but I am wondering if any of you are really understanding what our daily lives will be like when 10,000–50,000 people are suddenly placed within 5km of where we live.
Make your voices heard! There are two last chance ‘public’ meetings coming up on February 1 at the Byron Community Centre and Feb-ruary 2 at the Ocean Shores Public School, but if you want to have your say you have to ring Paula Poon on 02 9383 2101 to book in.

Resist the state government’s attack on our shire. Splendour’s proposed 50,000-attendees
Yelgun events site is an assault on the environment and an act of sabotage on our com-munity’s social structure. Th e state government amalgamat-ed their Tourism and Events departments, with the stated aim of doubling NSW’s tour-ism numbers. Th e result is that the state government wants to sacrifi ce this community and our natural environment, and treat us as expendable collat-eral damage in their quest for revenue and for their own po-litical status.
Th e development has been sent to the Planning Assesment Commission (PAC) for a fi nal decision. Th e PAC is holding public meetings in Byron Bay and Ocean Shores to hear resi-dents’ views. I urge residents to book in by January 20 and speak up (telephone 02 9383 2100, fax 02 9299 9835, [email protected]). Th e future of our Shire is at stake, whether oriented to an environmentally sound functioning community or to a tourist zone where the residents and our activities are treated as a circus for the enter-tainment of the visitors to the Party Shire.
Multi-day rock concerts are incompatible with the Yelgun wildlife corridor and the ad-jacent nature reserve and wet-lands. Events of 50,000 visit-
ing revellers are incompatible with a residential population of 29,000. Th e proposed camping accommodation for 25,000 is larger than any town in Byron or Ballina Shires, and equates to creating a new accommoda-tion centre for the entire resi-dential population of the City of Lismore.
Potential demand for accom-modation for the non-camping 25,000 has already resulted in agents lining up conversions of residential tenancies to tour-ist holiday lets. Expect Ocean Shores shopping centre to turn into a tourist zone. And what percentage of the 50,000 will we need to provide parking for at Brunswick Heads? And how many of the 50,000 will be turning up at the three toilets on the public beaches between the event site and the Bruns river?
Should the PAC fail us, then the campaign to stop this ab-erration will commence. With the national press on Byron’s $100-per-night garage floor mattress, perhaps it is ap-propriate that we start with a Ripped Off In Byron, Natu-rally, campaign.

Th e removal of lowland habi-tat and wildlife corridors, es-
sential for seasonal foraging in the warmer conditions at low-er altitudes during the cooler months, has had a catastrophic eff ect on many bird species and the ecology of our world herit-age listed rainforests.
Many species are rapidly de-clining to extinction and with the extinction of the birds re-sponsible for the pollination and seed dispersal of rainfor-est plant species and the con-trol of invertebrates that feed on such plants, major distur-bances are anticipated.
Even though the Land and Environment Court ruled against a trial Splendour event on land at Yelgun within the last east-west wildlife corri-dor and Byron Shire Council strongly objected to the cur-rent proposal, the planning department has recommended approval.
Potential traffi c jams of up to six hours, as reportedly occurred at the Splendour Woodford site, on the Tweed Valley Way, Brunswick Valley Way, the Yelgun interchange, Brunswick Heads and the Pa-cifi c Highway appear to be of little concern to the planning department.
The upcoming PAC meet-ings will be the last chance to stop this. Contact Paula Poon at 9383 2101 before January 20
to register to speak. Contacts in the powerful
Queensland developer com-munity have informed us that they are extremely interested in the outcome.
If the PAC approves this pro-posal, they will set a precedent for developers to do whatever they wish in the future, what-ever the zoning or the com-
munity opposition. Developers are particularly happy with the DoP’s developer-friendly rec-ommendations.
Th e DoP is even giving the proponents more than they’re asking for by recommending unlimited minor events from Day 1!

of the vulnerability of young women, who could be their daughters, their daughters’ friends, their nieces. Even if these girls make errors of judg-
ment, leaving a young woman to walk home to Suffolk Park along the poorly lit stretches of Broken Head Road – particu-larly when she has expressed her fear of being stalked – is not only negligent, but con-temptible.

Freedom TheatreThe Freedom Theatre in the Jenin Refugee Camp on the West Bank was established by Israeli actor, director, film-maker and activist Juliano Mer-Khamis. He wanted to give young people experienc-ing the effects of the Israeli oc-cupation: aggression, frustra-tion, hopelessness and trauma on an almost daily basis the means to express themselves. The theatre thus fulfils a vital role in combating symptoms of severe emotional distress, con-centration difficulties, aggres-sive behaviour, sleeplessness, nightmares and a whole host of psychosomatic symptoms. On April 4, 2011, Juliano was assassinated.
The theatre’s co-founder and co-director, Zakaria Zubeidi, had been the Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade but, in mid-2007, he renounced violence in favour of artistic cultural resistance and received an amnesty from the Israeli government. Without warning or reason the Israeli govern-ment has now revoked his am-nesty and, since December 29, he is being held under arrest inside the Palestinian security headquarters. An appeal by the Freedom Theatre states that his life is in danger. Zakaria’s ar-
rest is only the latest example of long-standing violence and harassment against the theatre by the Israeli Defence Force.
On January 3 ABC TV’s sev-en o’clock news carried a story about the Freedom Theatre which included an interview with Zakaria but no mention was made of the continuing Israeli Defence Force harass-ment against the theatre or of Zakaria’s arrest.
Those who value peace, jus-tice and artistic freedom are invited to visit the Freedom Theatre’s website and to give the support they request: www.thefreedomtheatre.org/news.php?id=213, www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaSvnkRFRic.

A fine timePeople mutter darkly about Graeme Faulkner, Council’s GM, but I think he’s a sweetie.
People will recall that the infamous raid on my property took place early in September last year, but Graeme waited until December 20 to add to my Christmas joy by sending me three $200 fines for fire alarm deficiencies. By a curious coincidence, only days earlier I had told Council during Public Access that smoke alarms are a waste of time for small cab-ins because even making toast sends them off and tenants sim-ply remove the batteries.
Indeed three cabins I’d pur-chased from Clarkes Beach car-avan park had had their wired-in smoke alarms disconnected and the wires poked back into the wall. This appears to be the work of management, who were probably tired of the con-
stant callouts. Council needs to think about this issue; enforcing fire alarm requirements may do nothing to improve safety. Apparently there are different kinds of alarms for different sit-uations, so Council had better do some pro-active education instead of merely pestering its critics.
I will appeal the fines. Firstly they are vague and do not spec-ify which dwellings they refer to – meaning I cannot offer a defence. Secondly the fines are made out to me personally, but it may be my family company which is technically liable; we are separate legal entities.
Readers may also recall that I complained to the Attorney-General’s Department that the search warrant issued in Sep-tember was based on mislead-ing information and should not have been granted. The Depart-ment’s reply was that the only way to challenge the warrant is to apply to a Court to declare it invalid. If this is successful then more of the information obtained in the raid can be used against me. Looks like appeal-ing the fire alarm fines might be a way to get that resolved.
By the way Graeme, I didn’t open your letter until Janu-ary 5, so you added nothing to my seasonal joy. Be assured though that I was thinking of you throughout. Indeed, not since Max Eastcott has a staff member so engaged my atten-tion and focus.

A year ago on New Years Eve the end of Cowper Street, ad-jacent to the playing fields and Feros Village, was packed out with overnight campers. The council ranger was in the vi-cinity but took no action. The next morning local residents were confronted by huge piles of rubbish (and worse) left be-hind, which they gathered up for eventual collection.
This New Years Eve, fear-ing a repeat event, I pegged large garbage bags to the play-ing field fences and asked the campers to please pick up their rubbish. They did. It was so uplifting to see the difference, and it raises the question, if the Council won’t regulate against camping in residential and public areas, why then can’t it provide skip bins on occasions such as New Years Eve?
At Belongil beach one lousy little green bin was supposed to cope with the hundreds of revellers who drank the night away and left their bottles and cans strewn all over the place. It is disheartening to see our town turned into a dump when some simple strategies could
make such a difference. ‘By-ron naturally’? Naturally filthy, more like. Or, instead of ‘don’t spoil us...’, how about ‘you al-ready have!’.
Louise AndrewsByron Bay
Many long-term residents would agree with the senti-ments expressed by David Morris in his letter ‘The dollar talks and bullshit walks’ (Echo, January 3). How we all then cringe at the proposed Byron identity slogan (we all need one don’t we?) ‘don’t spoil us, we’ll spoil you’. Maybe it should be ‘don’t spoil us, we’re spoilt already’. Please, if you must have an identity, do better than this. Why not ask the people who live here? We’re very crea-tive and not spoilt.

Who the hell is running this town? I have been living and working in Byron for quite some time and, as most locals see, things are getting pretty out of control. It seems like the council has lost control of
maintaining any sort of order. Does anyone at the council notice simple things like the lack of enough rubbish bins in public areas, etc?
During the last few months we have all noticed the growing amount of people camping on our streets and reserves. This has now got to the stage where it seems like the BSC rangers are simply outnumbered – there just aren’t enough to do the job properly during peak holiday periods.
These days if you want to come to Byron for a visit all you need to do is bring your car, sleeping bag and you’re set. If the weather is good you can just sleep under the stars next to your car right in the CBD and if you need somewhere to put your rubbish just use a shop-ping trolley. What a disgrace.
Ian AstleyByron Bay
This Christmas it has become apparent that technology has outpaced Byron Council in regard to the proposed town bypass. With the widespread use of the GPS app on the
smartphone, a drive along the St Helena road reveals scores of motorists travelling in the cen-tre of this road, faces pressed against the windscreen, their quizzical expression flagging the question: ‘Where in the hell are we headed?’
The St Helena road has be-come the de facto town bypass and all that Council needs to do is put a camera looking north from the Woolworths fuel outlet, add a link to their website, and for the locals at least, Bob’s your uncle. For anyone with a smartphone, a quick look at the Ewingsdale Road situation will determine the route to be chosen for those wishing to go to the Bay or al-ternatively give them the op-tion of going somewhere else or staying at home.
With a bit of persuasion Woolworths, good corporate citizen they claim to be, might well foot the relatively small cost involved. Www.byrontraf-ficjams.com.au might well do the trick and save most of us a lot of angst.

bourhood and I bet it’s one of many suburbs in the Shire these days experiencing Total Dog Overload.
We’re in south Ocean Shores, the lookout down to the river end of Rajah Road.
I feel qualified to talk about it because we are part of the problem. Our mutt, like most others, goes completely ber-serk when a small bird settles on a tree nearby. Never mind the bird is thirty feet up, our mighty guardian still thinks
she’ll get there and chase off the ‘intruder’. And here’s the problem: when dogs move to a new area they’re all shy and respectful like people are, they know they’re the intruders. But as soon as they’ve had a few feeds and sleeps they think… ‘Right, this is my territory now, beware all strangers great and small!’
There’s a new problem in the area now, a new renter on the hill overlooking our valley of 50 odd houses. Two dogs,
one a huge mastiff, the other a little shitsu, and man, a dog never lived up to its name more soundly! Big boy has a bark like the hound of the Baskervilles, it can really set your nerves off. The little shit has this non-stop incessant high-pitched yelp than can be heard in Billinudgel. Worse still, one sets the other off and, without fail, one or the other is constantly finding something to bark at. They spend most of their life locked on an open
veranda overlooking the other houses, the perfect sound stage for projection, and they have done their thing almost every day, night and early morning since they arrived here.
So this suburb that until last year was delightfully peaceful is now a place when there is never a moment where a dog is not howling, yelping or go-ing berserk. Are you listening, Councillors? Now surely, if someone is being totally selfish

The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely by Mungo MacCal-lum, published by Black Inc.
David Lovejoy
Our political columnist has been threatening a survey of Austral-ian leaders for some time, and fortunately last year Black Inc commissioned him to write es-says on each of the prime min-isters who have variously graced or disgraced the Common-wealth since federation.
No-one is better qualified to write these accounts than Mungo, who has actually met twelve of the 27 PMs in per-son, and no-one else could write about them with as much humour and insight. This is of course not an academic his-tory; there are no footnotes (not even an index), just di-
rect, readable sketches of the 26 men and one woman who managed to claw their way up the pole, to last at the top for an average of four years each.
It is a book that will not be allowed in schools because it is too interesting, but it would be a useful primer for immigrants
to learn an outline of the his-tory of their new country, at least from the beginning of the twentieth century onwards.
All these politicians had to deal, one way or another, with the power of the media to distort or cripple their ca-reers: arrogant press barons are not a recent phenomenon. But earlier PMs tended to have more spine than our current crop. John Curtin, when ap-proached with the familiar blend of threats and promises by an earlier incarnation of the malevolent Rupert, said bluntly, ‘I want you to under-stand that I obey nobody else but the people of Australia. You have nothing in the world that I want.’
The problem with writing about politicians of course, a problem Mungo puts his finger
on early in the book, is that we don’t actually like them. But letting that dislike cool into indifference, as seems to have happened across the country in the last few years, brings us even more unlikable leaders and lets them get away with more of the stuff we don’t like them for.
On the other hand if you ex-amine closely the people who have wielded political power, at least you will get to know the enemy. Curiously, what Mungo admits he discovered in the course of researching this book is that several heroes did not live up to their reputations and some villains were a lot less vil-lainous than he thought.
To find out which is which I recommend that you read The Good, the Bad and the Unlikely.

Some SpringIt’s about time someone point-ed out how ridiculous the term ‘Arab Spring’ has become. It
was popularised in the West-ern media in the early stages of the Egyptian protests when the Western powers suddenly de-cided, following the Tunisian example, that it was a move to democracy. Th is left them free to abandon their autocratic strongman in the north Afri-can world to whatever fate the protesters decided.
What has happened since is that the brief Indian sum-mer ran into problems for proponents of democracy in a group of countries, including Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Ara-bia, and Jordan. Th ey proved
great disappointments to the West and rapidly disappeared from the discourse completely as Syria and Libya turned the ‘spring’ into an autumnal tem-pest marked by brutality and naked power hunting in which the West cheerfully joined. Of course, events in Palestine re-main in the permafrost of the ongoing illegal occupation. To parody the old song, in this winter of discontent:

Paul Brecht (Letters, January 3), if all of us who ordinar-ily enjoy being a part of the Woodford Folk Festival and the Dreaming Festival took your lead and boycotted the festivals for three years, we would most likely find that there would be no Wood-ford Festival to return to in three years’ time. Aft er all, the Queensland Folk Federation, which puts on the Woodford Folk Festival and the Dream-ing, is a grassroots collective of people who derive their income from us, the punters, purchasing tickets and at-tending their festivals. They do festivals, we pay, go, enjoy and emerge – oft en heartened, inspired and better informed.
Th e Lock the Gate Alliance was born of a Woodford Festi-val forum and has been for me the principal source of infor-mation and education about coal-seam gas and its ramifi -cations. If our taking a hard line on this issue were to cause the demise of Woodford Folk Festival, who would be hurt by this? Santos? What other hid-den realities coming into be-ing in the wider world would benefi t from no longer being brought to light in the unique and holistic forums which have been a part of these two festi-vals over many years?
Susanna Evington Suff olk Park
People really should think
more clearly before they jump to such actions as a boycott. In this case, the best festival in Australia being Woodford Folk Festival.
It makes no sense to try to kill off such a positive and vibrant community event to protest the donation of money by the ‘enemy’. If you did boy-cott then you did exactly what ‘they’ wanted you to do.
Never forget the old maxim ‘divide to conquer’. ‘Th ey’ are still using it, though clearly not successfully in this case as the festival was brimming with fun and joy and its true activist heart still beats strongly.
You missed out.Mauricio Laratro

Don’t boycott the folkfest Lady killers spotted in ByronBackyard Buddies is warning Byron Shire residents to be on the look-out for exterminators wearing spotted outfi ts in their gardens. Nature’s pest control-lers, ladybirds, are most active in warm weather and are now out in force to care for your prized plants.
‘Ditch the chemicals and pesticides if you’ve got aphids in your garden,’ said MrSteve Corbett, CEO of the Foun-dation for National Parks & Wildlife. ‘Th ese sprays could unwittingly be getting rid of your best bug controller yet – the ladybird.
‘If given the chance lady-birds, also known as ladybugs and lady beetles, will happily eat up your aphids, scale in-sects and mites. An adult lady-bird can consume 2,500 aphids during its lifetime. Ladybirds are thought to live for about two months, but some species can live for up to two years.’
According to Mr Corbett, here are many easy things resi-dents can do to attract ladybirds to their gardens, including:
icity environmentally-friendly insecticides such as pyrethrum or garlic spray, as these will also kill ladybirds.
bearing native plants as lady-birds also eat flower nectar and plant material including fungus.
honey mixed with water and brewer’s yeast and spread it in the garden.
ed bugs in the garden if you want to see ladybirds as well. Ladybirds need a food source if they are going to visit, so be patient.
the morning as this gives la-dybirds a welcome drink and helps their feet to stick to leaves and stems.
warm conditions so mulch the garden to retain water.
parsley, coriander, dill, fennel, alfalfa, zucchini, melons and cucumbers attract ladybirds.
Aft er you’ve harvested the ve-gies, leave the plants in the ground even after the leaves become mouldy. Look on the underside of a mouldy leaf and you may fi nd little black crit-ters with many legs – these are ladybird babies!
‘Ladybirds start life as an egg, go through three larval stages, and turn into a pupa be-fore fi nally becoming an adult,’ said Mr Corbett. ‘During her lifetime, a lady ladybird will lay as many as 2,000 eggs.
‘Ladybird larvae look very
different to adults and can sometimes be confused with other bugs including scale. If you have some unknown bugs in the garden, it’s best to leave them be as they could grow up to be gorgeous ladybirds.
‘You can also purchase your own ladybird buddies to help the population become estab-lished. Diff erent ladybirds eat diff erent bugs, so purchase the right lady killers for your gar-den from www.ecoorganicgar-den.com.au or www.bugsfor-bugs.com.au. Release ladybirds
aft er sunset or before sunrise as they are more likely to stay.
‘Many cultures believe that ladybirds are lucky. Killing one is said to bring sadness and misfortune.
‘Th e nursery rhyme “Lady-bird, ladybird, fl y away home” encourages children to catch the beetles and blow them on their way in return for a wish. It is thought this was a way of getting the children to disperse the beetles amongst the crops to destroy pests and avoid famine.’

Fun facts about ladybirdsThere are over 500 species of ladybirds in Australia. Identify what types of ladybirds are around you at the CSIRO’s Ladybirds of Australia’s website www.ento.csiro.au/biology/ladybirds/ladybirds.htm.
Ladybird copulation typically lasts for 15-60 minutes but can extend for a few hours or even days.
Like human hair going grey, as ladybirds age their spots fade.
A ladybird in fl ight beats its wings up to 85 times per second.
Ladybirds breathe through openings on the sides of their bodies.
In 1999, NASA sent ladybirds and aphids up in the space shuttle to test their movements in zero gravity.

Robert Bleakley
Johnny Foss was born into a grand Irish family from Bal-lycastle but as with almost everything associated with his life, there was a twist; his actual place of birth was India. His exotic place of birth allowed distance from both the world of inherited rank and entitle-ment in his family lands and from the English class system which he so derided.
John loathed pretence and was merciless in ridiculing snobbery; a keen consumer of left-leaning media, accessing all manner of current opinion from the Guardian Weekly through to The Irish Times (online) he sought fairness in all aspects of life.
John was a brilliant award-winning landscape architect who leaves the benefit of his considerable talent in many large-scale public works in both England and Australia. An early adopter of computer technology he became a de-facto IT consultant before the role had been invented; he mastered difficult technologies in CAD which is now a plat-form in design.
His vast generosity car-ried him through some tough times when he was able to lean somewhat heavily on his close friends as he did battle
with drinking, a battle which he eventually won. In so do-ing, after a significantly lengthy ban on driving, he developed one of the great passions of his life, that of motorised cycling. This passion which was born of necessity, led John to de-velop an intimate knowledge and love of the back roads of Byron Shire and it was on his favourite stretch of road that his life ended.
As with so much of what John touched, it was to be-
come a compelling activity which was revealed in three stages. Firstly he developed a motorised bike of magnificent quality, a beautiful riding ma-chine inspired by his love for the Norton motorbikes he had ridden in his student days in Leeds. Two models of his bikes bore locally inspired names, the Billinudgel Bullet and the Tyagarah Tiger, finely crafted high performance within the legal parameters.
Wishing to expand the can-
vas and seeking appropriate recognition of these excellent machines he adopted a new persona, that of Giacomo Fos-scati, the brilliant son of the legendary Italian cyclist Enzio Fosscati who was a central character in the third manifes-tation of John’s bike passion, creative writing. Nothing in half measure, John wrote, with assistance from Al Murray of Ocean Shores, a marathon novel describing the trajectory of the invention of the Fosscati
bikes. He used it as a means to express, entertain and heal himself while harbouring the thought that the novel may launch him to the same level of celebrity as J K Rowling, Gia-como Fosscati jostling for ce-lebrity status with Harry Potter.
The manuscript remains un-published, arrested in its prog-ress as are other projects which John was actively involved in at the time of his death. Perhaps his most brilliant achievement was the arrival of enduring so-briety, an inspiration to others and the foundation which en-abled him to occupy the status of a sober and conscious man contributing strongly to his community.
John was a very active mem-ber of the Marine Rescue NSW, Brunswick Heads, as well as a
steady supporter of those in the community who were travers-ing the same territory which he had done. His dedicated approach meant that he mas-tered each new activity and his enormous intelligence enabled him to become adept in each of those new endeavours.
John recently commented ‘This year my life is so wonder-ful there should be background music.’ He had achieved a state of peace and tranquillity light years from the troubled man he was three decades earlier. He shared his last years with his companion Nanette in whom he delighted. He was loved by many and adored by those fortunate enough to have been closely touched by his brilliant, playful and highly irreverent spirit. Vale Johnny!

Farewell to Johnny Foss, and a life passionately lived
Johnny Foss with one of his Fosscati motorised bicycles. From htttp://fosscati.wordpress.com.
The National Cycling Partici-pation Survey shows 18 per cent or four million Austral-ians of all ages are riding their bikes each week.
In the biggest study of its type ever undertaken in this country, the survey found around 3.6 million people ride for recreation and sport and 1.2 million make a least one trans-port trip each week.
The survey showed that more than ten per cent of Aus-
tralian adults had ridden in the past week and almost 30 per cent in the last year.
On average, those ten per cent riding in any week are achieving significant levels of physical activity at an average of 30 minutes a day to meet recommended levels for good health.
The Cycling Promotion Fund (www.cyclingpromotion.com.au/) believes this is great news for a healthier Australia.

What else is possible?
Tip of the week:
If you are struggling with – “What am I meant to be doing
with my life?” – start by asking yourself some important
questions: ~ What do people thank me for?
~ What are my talents?
~ What are my top 3 values?
These will give you an insight into what you are meant
to be doing, that’s if you intend to do what you love and
love what you do.

CREATE A MINI-RAINFOREST IN YOUR BACKYARDEden @ Byon has just taken delivery of a fabulous range of Australian native rainforest plants, including many local species. Some of these are well known, but others, such as the native jasmine (Jasminum simplicifolium), the native tibouchinas (Osbeckia and Melastoma), and the native tropical rhodendron (Vireya lochiae) may not be as familiar. The Richmond Birdwing Butterfl y vine (Pararistolochia), not always easy to come by, is the predominant food plant for the larvae of the beautiful and endangered butterfl y. In coming weeks there’ll be lots more exciting plants arriving.

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT KU PROMOTIONS PRESENTS SUMMER, WINE, WOMAN AND SONG, A VERY SPECIAL SHOW THAT BRINGS TOGETHER THE SUMPTUOUS TALENTS OF THREE WILD WOMEN: KARA GRAINGER, CORINNE GIBBONS AND CHRIS E THOMAS. THE ECHO CAUGHT UP WITH THE GIRLS WITH A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS.What are the qualities that you most admire in other singer/songwriters?
KG : I really admire songwriters who write lyrics which truly move you as a listener. It’s hard to fi nd the right words to describe an emotion but the great songwriters defi nitely have that skill.
CE: Honesty. Simplicity. And I love happy songs as I guess I fi nd them the hardest to write… [laugh].
CG: Creating imagery that is transporting – I really love to listen to music that takes me back or suits a particular time of day or emotion, writing a melody that is evocative and writing straight from the heart, these are qualities that I admire. I also enjoy humour in songwriting… that is a gift.
What do you perceive as your own strengths?
KG: I absolutely love to sing and play guitar, I defi nitely think this gives me a lot of strength as a performer.
CE: Hmmm… I used to copy singers when I was younger which was great training for a session singer but now I can sing with my own interpretation. It takes a while to fi nd your own voice. I guess that’s the same with everyone, not just singers.
CG: I enjoy telling a story and keeping it personal, I think you get an insight into who I am fundamentally from my music.
What do you think are your performance and creative challenges?
KG: I never see music as a creative challenge but more that there are endless possibilities of where the music can take you. However there are always things I could work on as a player, singer and songwriter.
CE: Keeping some time for myself personally. I keep working and neglect my personal life… ie all the non-music stuff to stay balanced emotionally.
CG: Mmmmm, interesting question… I honestly think time management is my biggest challenge. My creative challenge this year comes in the form of a new album and it embraces a lot of new themes in my life; I feel creatively challenged and excited as it’s moving in a diff erent production direction to MELT.
What song are you proudest of?
KG: I’m very proud of the CD Grand and Green River which I recorded in Los Angeles a few years ago. There are a number of co-written songs and songs of my own which I think are great pieces of work. I particularly like performing Secret Soul, which is a simple travelling song. It tells of how sometimes when you lose people you are close to it seems like sometimes a small part of them can remain within you, within your soul.
CE: Tucson Man from my fi rst EP.
CG: Melt it represents a moment in my life that is deeply personal and is dedicated to my late sister Danielle.
How would you describe your journey as a musician?
KG: Well… I fell into music at an early age and have never really looked back… As a child I was inspired by my father’s singing. I was given a great education from many players and teachers along the way. The other members of the band Papa Lips were, I believe, my greatest teachers, including my brother Mitch… They introduced me to blues, soul and funk and a whole lot of great music, including The Meters, Taj Mahal, Donny Hathaway, Etta James… the list goes on… Music has taken me to Japan, the USA, Indonesia and Europe… it’s
been a wonderful journey so far and I still feel I have a
long long way to go.
CE: Lucky. No formal training and managed to score jobs
with some of Australia’s fi nest entertainers… here and
overseas. Fluked it really.
CG: Privileged, I am living my passion and I feel fortunate
that I am able to do so and travel the world… it rocks!
Expect some country, blues, soul and funk, with the
emphasis on three amazing friends harmonising and
having an amazing time. As Chris E jokes ‘It’s a bit like
bringing the jam around the kitchen table to your big
lounge room!’

Funkin up the RailsCarola Christian is an incredibly passionate and distinct vocalist with a commanding voice. With a broad range of deep haunting vocals to screaming soprano, Carola has the ability to move her velvety tones through raw sensuality to gutsy power. Her stage presence is sassy with no inhibitions to cut loose. Together with The Dirty Funk Aff air they produce a unique sound fusion of rock, soul and pop, with a strong retro vibe succumbing to aff airs with Latin and wayward romances with funk… creating an eclecticism that makes them hard to categorise. Riff -rippled, refreshingly impure and nonconformist at times, but always refl ecting the soul with soul infl ections. Catch them at The Rails this Friday night for some ‘good times’, 7pm.
Bohos at the TreehouseHailing from a freewheeling bohemian tradition that’s rooted in Australia’s rustic heart, Dinkum Bohos are Vasudha Harte and Jem Edwards. The pair have travelled through the country’s deep and dangerous hinterland and the golden beaches of the east coast and have just returned from wowing audiences on the other side of the world with their Australian take on music for runaway romantics.
Their ‘musique originale’ features changes of style, mood and instrumentation: trancey love songs on lap steel guitar collide with beat poetry, sassy tangos, gritty blues, wild piano duets, dramatic, sensuous Spanish guitar and lively percussion. Hear their unique brand of anarchic songwriting, Sunday at The Treehouse On Belongil from 7pm.
Ireland at The BreweryAfter releasing her album Love & Sticky Tape (Vitamin), Rebecca Ireland is gaining a keen following and a lovely assortment of fi ne musicians to join her in her dynamic and delightful shows.
Just back from shows in Melbourne and Brisbane, The Rebecca Ireland Band will be playing a Sunday session at The Byron Brewery, stripping back with Pete Wilkins (drums), Thierry Fossemalle (bass) and Lydia Storey (BVs). From 8pm.
Are You O-Kaye???After packed-out shows at this year’s Woodford Folk Festival, local activist and multi-instrumental troubadour Nathan ‘Lucky Man’ Kaye will be pulling out some new tunes and new tricks as well as his underground brand of sunbaked blues-driven trippy roots live at his favourite stomping ground, the Rails this Wednesday.
If multi-talented musos brandishing lap slide guitars and telescopic didgeridoos rocks your world, then get your butt down to check Kaye’s show.
Caravãna Sun on a Roll Caravãna Sun make their return to The Byron Bay Brewery after a mammoth album launch show earlier in the month at the Beach Hotel which saw a massive dance fl oor bouncing to their sun-fi lled tunes. The
band will bring back their spiritually infused tunes for a night that will have you up on your feet, releasing your inner gypsy and stomping away to their rockin’ reggae ska groove. From the gypsy culture of southern France to the mystery of Ord River in Western Australia, the earthy collective take adoring audiences on a soul-moving, body-invigorating journey through the world’s cultures. Caravãna Sun are a frenetic fusion of surf, ambient, ska and world musical styles. Building a reputation for fi rst-class live shows laden with danceworthy boppy reggae grooves and down-to-earth soulful lyrics, the close-knit high-energy surfi ng troupe has charmed audiences from Peats Ridge to Sydney Blues & Roots. Catch them on Saturday at the Byron Brewery Buddha Bar.
Eat City At Woody’sNovember 2011 saw the launch of local promotion/production venture Eat City Nights – a regular live music showcase featuring home-grown and international touring acts. ECN is back with San Francisco-based lo-rock band Thee Oh Sees on Tuesday 8pm at Woody’s Surf Shack.
<echowebsection=Entertainment>
Last week our family enjoyed a beautiful sunny breakfast at Wategos. There’s nothing quite like a freshly cooked bacon-and-egg roll after a swim in the rolling waves of one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches, followed by a leisurely relax contemplating the majesty of our coastline. Until it was interrupted by a busload of 200 young people dressed in shorts and t-shirts. There was something slightly unusual about the crowd – they carried cameras, they cart-wheeled, some even clutched skateboards and wore shoes and socks which seemed a little out of kilter with the surrounds. Not one of them rushed into the surf, which was glorious.
I whispered to my daughter, ‘What do you think is going on there?’ She swallowed a mouthful of her roll and mumbled ‘Christians’. I was like ‘really? How can you tell?’ Zoe pointed at one of the girls with a bit of bacon and chewed, ‘the girls are wearing boardshorts’. My bacon-munching daughter was more astute than me. All of a sudden the group launched into song, performing a spectacularly public prayer of evangelical worship.
Great, I got up early to bring the kids down to the beach for breakfast, and now I can’t see the bloody ocean because of an annoying clump of fricking Christians. I was tempted to gather a group of pagan goat worshippers like myself to assemble farther down the beach to perform some satanic rituals. Hands were waving in the air in Jesus-enthused ecstasy, others dropped to their knees and started reading their bibles. Zoe was mildly amused and whispered in my ear ‘they must have waterproof bibles’.
It’s not like they don’t have ample time to read the the Word of the
Lord. Surely in the time other young people are taking drugs, having sex or masturbating, they’re tucked up in bed with the good book. Why the sudden urge to read the bible on the beach at 10 o’clock on a Wednesday morning? Oh, I get it, because other people can see them. In fact, what is the point in praying unless you get to infl ict it on the whole fricking beach?
Christians with cameras start taking photos of Christians reading bibles. What for? Are they going to upload it on their version of Facebook? Prayerbook? Imagine the status updates: ‘Read Isaiah at Wategos! POL! (That means Pray Out Loud). Then they start the baptisms. Weddings have to apply to council and pay a fee, but this busload of bible bashers just start infl icting their religious choices on the whole beach.
Groovy young tattooed ministers duck fully clothed initiates under the Wategos waves to cleanse them of their sins. I’m hoping that the evil that’s washed off our family infects them. Now I can’t swim because I don’t want to get stinky born-again christian all over me.
If you want to baptise your followers at the beach, then don’t choose peak tourist time on the world’s smallest and most popular beach. Go to Tallow. Try Lennox. There’s plenty of remote beaches where the only people you’ll see are surfers, a few fi shermen, and some escaped psycho killer jerking off in the bushes. There’s a colossal amount of arrogance thinking it’s okay for 200 people to land in the middle of a crowded public beach and start performing their religious ritual.
Clearly we are a country that practises religious tolerance but I can’t help but wonder what the public reaction would be if 200 Muslims turned up, laid out their prayer mats and started praying to Allah. There is nothing wrong with prayer to the god of your choosing. Just don’t do it in my face. Most religions respect the beliefs of others by being discreet. That’s why people have churches, or temples or mosques.
I am aware that this ministry of hug-giving, creepy crepe-making youngsters worship publicly so as to seduce other young people into their midst. These people are just like drug dealers, except they deal
Jesus. If you are depressed, or lost, or feeling alienated, these large anomalous groups of Jesus Junkies will swallow you up. You never have to think or feel independently again.
While I am strictly agnostic, I have immense respect for all religions, Christians included, but I hate evangelical Christians with a passion. They frighten me. When my father died a group of born-agains moved in on my mother and I spent three years living in the clutches of hands-on healing, tongue-talking Jesus freaks. They gathered in large groups with acoustic guitars and sang songs of praise. They collapsed, they shrieked, they wept. I now know this is the behaviour of brain-washed cult members. Even as a small child I knew that they were the stupidest people on the planet.
I once watched a group pray on someone’s broken leg for about three hours, then they cut off the cast to see if he could walk, but the silly dickhead just collapsed and had to be taken back to Emergency who clearly weren’t impressed. It was the second one he’d had on that day. I am convinced that if Jesus were alive today he wouldn’t hang with born-again Christians. He’d be sitting behind me playing the bongos eating a bacon sandwich yelling ‘fuck off’ to the 200 spiritual exhibitionists blocking his view of the ocean.

‘In recent times Australian cultural life has become increasingly urban and city-centric. The idea of any small country town being a hotbed of culture and sophistication is dismissed by city folk proud of their cafe culture and committed to the cultural joys of urban living. It is, therefore, a surprise that the country’s sharpest and wittiest comedic columnist lives modestly in northern NSW and writes for the Byron Bay Echo.’ (Excerpt of review for Pick Of The Week), Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T 7Thee Oh Sees is known for its prolifi c album releases as well as super-energetic live shows. The California band’s second record for the year, Carrion Crawler/The Dream, continues in the tradition of Thee Oh Sees’ rough-around-the-edges rock and roll; the record captures the manic, hyperactive antics of the band, fronted by the guitar-chewing, melody-maiming John Dwyer (Coachwhips, Pink and Brown, Hospital). Eat City Nights at Woody’s Surf Shack, Byron Bay – Thee Oh Sees with special guests The Straight Arrows and The Ganaschz. $10 on the door.
Dark Blue AndyBlending groove with a pop sense of catchy melodies, poet Andy Jans-Brown writes and performs songs you want to sing along with. Some of the highlights of Andy’s career include opening for Nick Cage and The Bad Seeds, having his fi lm clip You Got Me Thinking broadcast on ABC’S Rage program and his composition Despite Everything included in the soundtrack for Showtime Foxtel’s successful Aussie glam/drama series Satisfaction. Andy draws upon all things human and seeks at every turn to connect with his audience, endearing himself with honesty, sincerity, humanity, poetry and his musical sigh at the beautiful of all. And all accompanied by his band of hot young players who many of you will recognise from other combos. A very diff erent afternoon of music for By The River Restaurant in Ballina on Sunday from 3pm.
Bonjah BeachMulti-award-nominated Bonjah have been a band since 2006 when the now much-loved fi ve-piece moved from NZ to Melbourne. Since then Bonjah’s powerhouse performances are reputed to be amongst the most talked-about shows in the country.
The band’s music is a blend of soul, rock and roots, and has been described as intimate, moving and full of energy. With street buzz hitting fever pitch the band have received numerous nods from the music industry, more than 500 shows under their belt, CD sales clocked in excess of 20,000 units (independently) and appeared at many of Australia’s premier music festivals. Beach Hotel on Wednesday from 9.30pm. Free.
Lotek NightsMercury Prize 2009 award-winning producer Wayne Lotek produces a mash-up of hip-hop, reggae-infl uenced grime and UK dancehall. Hailing from North London, Lotek is now based in Melbourne Australia.
With an enviable production resume and stellar career in Europe as part of Lotek Hifi , Wayne Bennett aka Lotek matches refi ned production with musical originality in a rare package. A cornerstone of Big Dada and Ninja tunes, he is the production maestro behind Speech Debelle’s 2009 Mercury Prize-winning album Speech Therapy and Roots Manuva’s pivotal releases Brand New Second Hand and Run Come Save Me. Beach Hotel on Friday from 9.30pm. Free.

the third show they will also be presenting Android Jones, Daniel Mirante and PhaDroid. Tickets are on sale now from www.byroncentre.com.au/whats-on/buy-tickets for the 3 Feb show.
Sound of JarrahCritics have often likened Jarrah’s sound and songwriting to Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull, wowing audiences with his fuzzed-out wah-rock and epic guitar/fl ute jams. Jarrah will be stripping the music back to its songwriting origins emphasising sweet harmonies, acoustic grooves and fl ute melodies in a dynamic acoustic duo. Breaking the mould of your average dreamy duo, Jarrah Thompson is making noise
with fl autist Asha Henfry creating edgy and energetic yet soulful and intimate performances. The Rails on Tuesday.
Backsliders in ByronFans of blistering live blues and roots music take note: Australia’s foremost, iconic blues and roots group Backsliders were nominated in the Roots category for the 25th Anniversary Aria Awards! Named by Doug Mulray in 2003 as ‘the best acoustic blues band in the country’, and with an abundance of career awards including Band of the Year (Rolling Stone), Best Live Australian Blues Act (Blues on Air magazine) and Blues Album of the Year (Rhythms magazine), Backsliders are leaders and virtual pioneers in their own genre: the ‘delta-blues wall of sound’. Live in concert, the band are a force to be reckoned with, fi ercely blending an amped-up authentic, original blues style, along with their evocative, unplugged ‘deep south’ acoustic delta
blues mode. Backsliders feature guitarist/vocalist, founding member and key songwriter Dom Turner plus drum and
percussion virtuoso Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil, The Break). The band have notched up 25 years’ experience serving up the fi nest, meanest acoustic-based blues, starting out before ‘blues and roots’ was a well-known term in the Australian music industry. Friday 20 Jan at the Currumbin Soundlounge and Saturday 21 Jan at the Byron Theatre, Community Centre.

Poet at the BluesLast year it was Bob Dylan, and for 2012, Bluesfest presents Mr D’s nemesis, Donovan. This will be an exclusive Bluesfest performance for the singer who began his career as an itinerant folk musician in the mid-60s. Donovan later became known for his rich-poetic and emotive songs like Catch the Wind and Colours and his version of Buff y 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 fi lm.
This transition resulted in a phenomenal string of 11 Top 40 hits, including Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman, Epistle to Dippy, There is a Mountain, Wear Your Love Like Heaven, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Jennifer Juniper, Lalena, Atlantis, and Riki Tiki Tavi. Check out the Bluesfest program – tickets are available and playing times on www.bluesfest.com.
Brother FunkFunk-roots outfi t, Brotherfunk will be exploding onto the stages of the far north coast in the coming weeks, in celebration of the release of their debut EP. The seven-piece Blue Mountains act will be bringing their unique blend of funk, soul, and reggae to north coast audiences with enough energy to kill a middle-aged boar. Since their inception in late 2009, Brotherfunk have enjoyed great success in the Blue Mountains and Sydney area, building themselves a reputation as being a highly dynamic young act. Don’t miss Brotherfunk at The Lennox Hotel Friday from 9.30pm and Saturday at The Nimbin Bush Theatre from 7.30.
Leave it to BeavisLocals can to enjoy authentic old-school jump blues with a modern sensibility when Brisbane blues man Jimi Beavis and his band play the Lennox Hotel on Saturday.
Jimi Beavis said he would be looking forward to taking his show on the road and out of Brisbane for a change, fresh from a short break over Christmas. He is also planning on a big year after a successful 2011
with his fi rst solo EP, featuring his trademark brew of old-school original blues, taking inspiration from classic Chicago blues and the swing band era. The EP, No Need To Deny It, reached the top 25 most-played Australian releases on blues radio in the country in three months during 2011, and his song Ain’t Afraid Of Crying made it to #21 on alternative Brisbane radio station 4ZZZ FM’s annual music poll for 2011, which came as somewhat of a surprise for Jimi. Jimi (harmonica, vocals) will be joined by Dave McGuire on guitar, Kirsten Baade on double bass and Michael Clarke on drums.
Imagination in SpaceThe Space Cowboy returns to Byron with a spectacular new show of mind-boggling illusions and death-defying stunts. If you haven’t seen him yet, The Space Cowboy is a modern-day showman and connoisseur of the dark arts with an ever-expanding repertoire of heart-stopping physical demonstrations teamed with mental trickery delivered to convince. He is Australia’s own magical prodigy and has been likened to Criss Angel, Derren Brown and David Blaine and other greats. All of his performances share the common theme of curiosity and questioning the unusual, the extreme, and the unnatural. His work combines his amazing genuine skills with extraordinary illusions blurring the lines of perception in the name of art.
So dare to enter the mind of Australia’s leading mentalist – watch this eloquent tale of deception unfold as shadows come alive, objects fl oat, subliminal messages play, gravity is defi ed and mental manipulation occurs. By puppeteering your fi ve senses he creates the illusion of a sixth, enabling him to read minds and share his powers assisting others to do the same. Boundaries of reality will be blurred, even removed, and for your entertainment you will be fooled.
The other contributing powerful force of this performance is The Space Cowboy’s ability to control his own body and mind to achieve a death-defying one-man sideshow. Best known as a sword swallower – see this incredible man in action as he performs the classic and also some unique versions of what has been referred to as a dying art. You will see a breathtaking recreation of his world-fi rst underwater sword swallow and many more awe-inspiring demonstrations.
The Space Cowboy holds eleven Guinness World Records! This is offi cially the most records ever held by an Australian. What started out as a childhood fantasy has become a lifelong passion as he strives to
leave his mark in history for human achievement with the ever-present message: ‘What the mind can conceive the body can achieve’. A positive role model for old and young, he delivers this message on stage in the hope that all will be aff ected.
The Space Cowboy: Imagination Rules The World. Fri 8.30pm. Sat & Sun 5.30pm + 8.30pm $25 / $20 conc + $13 under 16 (5.30pm shows only).
Book your tickets at the Byron Community Centre Box offi ce or on line at www.byroncentre.com.au or phone 02 6685 6807.

Last week’s solution
Mungo’s Crossword fi rst published in The Week.
After the Khanty Mansiysk Ol ympiad in 2010, Grandmaster Darryl Johansen acknowledged that, despite top scoring for the Australian team, his Olympic career was probably over.
A cohort of teenagers were improving rapidly, closing in on his world ranking and making no secret of their intention to dis-place Johansen and other veter-ans from the 2012 Olympic team.
The mild-mannered Melb-ourn ian, who has been involved in coaching many of the new rising stars, has not raged against the dying of the light, explaining, ‘I don’t enjoy playing as much as I used to – if you don’t play con-sistently, you tend to feel like you shouldn’t play. I’m still motivated to try and do well; if I come to a tournament I don’t want to bomb out and become cannon fodder for every other player.’
But in the 2011/12 Australian Championship in Geelong Joh-ansen has played superbly and, instead of struggling to overcome opponents a third of his age, has turned the form guide on its
head, virtually securing a record 15th appearance at the 2012 Chess Olympiad in Istanbul.
One of only six in the biennial championship field aged over 30, Johansen started unambitious-ly, with draws in the first two rounds. But then, in search of his sixth national title, he opened up with four consecutive wins, including this one.Geelong 2011White: D JohansenBlack: J IkedaOpening: English1.c4 e6 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.g3 b6 5.Bg2 Bb7 6.Qc2 0-0 7.a3 Bxc3 8.Qxc3 d5 9.d4 dxc4 10.Qxc4 Nc6?!

at the Spirit Festival, a rarity these days, as her international schedule of teaching and yoga teaching trainings keeps her far from our shores much of the time. And Jessie Chapman, Australia’s best-selling yoga author, will lead a masterclass in her popular style for all comers. Among the Sydney top teachers comes the inimitable, indefatigable Simon Borg-Olivier. His unique Synergy Yoga workshops are one of the reasons yoga is so popular in Australia today. Iyengar devotee and master teacher Simon Marrocco will lead classes at Mullum Sari, the studio and gym where he currently runs his yoga school. Across the street at YogaPeace, check out Aesha Kennedy’s gentle, calming, breath-infused class. Ex-ballerina Harjiwan will bring her exciting kundalini yoga experience to the Spirit Festival. The beautifully renovated Yellow Church yoga studio will off er yoga classes by founder Diana Ewing, a teacher with thirty years of teaching under her mat, as well as the popular Consta Georgoussis. His fl owing classes may include his philosophic insights into yoga and Buddhist philosophy. For a diff erent experience, attendance at Kathryn Riding’s class, with its use of voice, words, breath and free expression, is a must. Jenny Groves, who established the fi rst yoga school in Byron Bay in 1984, will present her Bones for Life workshop, and Nirupa will lead a Somatic Yoga class to introduce you to an inside-out approach to understanding your body.

Moscow in ByronMoscow 1938: a dangerous place to have a sense of humour, and even more so a sense of freedom. Writer Mikhail Bulgakov has both. He’s living among dissidents, stalked by secret police. And then he’s off ered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his 60th birthday. Exploring this treacherous world, and inspired by historical fact, The Collaborators embarks on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself
in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his drama. The Collaborators is a blistering new production from Britain’s National Theatre, depicting a lethal game of cat and mouse through which the appalling compromises and humiliations infl icted on any artist by those with power are held up to scrutiny. Screening at Dendy Byron Bay Cinemas on Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. Tickets on sale
now for $23–$25, children $15, phone bookings 6680 8555.
Bringing Back Cultural Inspiration From Sufi Pakistan to Byron BayTahir Qawwal, a Byron-based music teacher/performer, recently returned from a trip to Pakistan where he took part in the largest Sufi music celebration of the year. The Sufi celebrations known as the Urs occur each year within the shrines of Sufi saints throughout Pakistan and India. This is the seventh time Tahir has visited Pakistan, as part of his dedication to the music of Qawwali – a passionate form of traditional music made known in the west by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He studies with the most renowned masters of this Sufi path in Faislabad and Lahore.
Qawwali music is a medium used to deliver passionate words (ie poetry about of Ishq – divine love and sacred union) with the emotional qualities of music. It is a medium that people use to attain trance and mystical experience.Tahir will be teaching a workshop on Sunday at Ananta Yoga Studio in Byron Bay (12.30–3pm) called ‘The mysticism of music and sound: A workshop of song and prayer in the Sufi tradition’. Contact: [email protected] or call 0405 597 264 for info.

WITH LILITH
With 2012 predicted as either the end of the world or a date of great spiritual transformation, what’s in it for you personally? As this week’s birthday Capricorn
Alan Watts observed, valid plans for the future can’t be made by those
who have no capacity for living now…
ARIES: With trailblazing innovator Uranus in Aries initiating a sort of divine wake up call, this year could see expanded understandings produce some dramatic shifts in the way you operate. Best approach? Refusing to bring past battles into the present. Forgiving, learning and starting over.
TAURUS: For the next six months Jupiter instigates a personal journey of self-discovery, surrendering a persona you’ve outgrown so a more authentic version can emerge – who you are now, not who you think you should be. Most helpful mindset: Whenever life hits the spin cycle, slow down.
GEMINI: Last year started you letting go of old baggage, this year continues the cull. Smartest action plan: making peace with your past and putting it into perspective so you can utilise April to August Venus vibes for getting primary relationships on a fresher, more relevant track.
CANCER: Moving on from the past is never easy for Cancerians, but making new connections is essential during the fi rst half of 2012. If midyear Jupiter highlights areas where the balance of power in close relationships is out of alignment, Mars will propel you to take action.
LEO: In the words of Leo Madonna, 2012 is the year to Express Yourself and move to higher ground, beyond your current comfort zone. Also to totally rejig your fi nances. Biggest issues: Around leadership (yours and other people’s), your personal power and what has power over you.
VIRGO: For the fi rst half of this year, Mars continues fuelling new career moves and opportunities. For the last half, Jupiter and Saturn get together to liven up your fi nances. Note to self: If relationships lose that loving feeling, tune into deeper, more intimate and sensitive levels.
LIBRA:The next six months initiates a re-examining and possible reprogramming of your core beliefs as Pluto and Uranus deepen your understanding of your ancestral heritage. Flashpoint: When taskmaster Saturn quits Libra in October you’ll be stronger, more practical and way less aff ected by family dynamics.
SCORPIO: Your year, like most people’s, comes in two parts: closure and completion, followed by one of your signature phoenix rebirths as your astral destiny point enters Scorpio in August, realigning your life purpose. 2012 diary highlight: March’s potent Venus/Jupiter combo makes it a signifi cant love month.
SAGITTARIUS: April to August you’ve got serious Venus appeal, but after Jupiter’s June move you’ll need to be extremely choosy about how you allocate time, friendship and energy. As the worth of your work becomes clearer, fi nances gain weight. Memo: If the work/play ratio slips, fi x it.
CAPRICORN: There’s no escaping self-examination with Pluto making you face your deepest demons before you can access your hidden riches. As Capricorn’s guardian planet Saturn places you in your starring role of teacher/mentor, living situations could change so stay fl exible. And don’t forget fun, baby.
AQUARIUS: This year requests a lifestyle reality check. Could revising your relating style achieve more clarity, better communication? Creativity and inspiration are 2012 buzzwords, but they require stillness and receptivity to fl ourish – also choices that nourish who you are now, not The Person Formerly Known As You.
PISCES: Pisceans are born for spiritual work, and with your planetary captain Neptune moving to Pisces for the next fourteen years you’re unavoidably into the mystic. Best resolve for 2012: Streamline and simplify. Meanwhile, next week Venus arrives in your sign to kick off a promising year…

She was also the fi rst director of the
Lismore Regional Art Gallery and currently teaches and organises Tango events here in Byron.

This most recent work celebrates the beauty and magic and the drama of my environment here in Byron Bay.’
Jan has exhibited in Byron Bay, Sydney, Brisbane, New York and Buenos Aires.
Her paintings are in private collections both in Australia and overseas. She was shortlisted as a fi nalist for the Country Energy Art Prize and has won the Sydney Dance Art Prize, the popular-vote Mosman Art Prize and the Byron Bay Arts Classic.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of ShadowsGuy Ritchie is a fl ash director who has an uncanny talent for making impressive movies that aren’t any good – RocknRolla (2008) is an obvious exception. Perhaps it’s time he was tapped on the shoulder and politely told that it is not all about him. Or, in the words of A O Scott of the New York Times, ‘can a movie be hyperactive and lazy at the same time? Clever and idiotic?’ Most certainly it can. Making old entertainments relevant to modern, if not necessarily more discerning audiences is a critical priority for anybody who doesn’t want to do their dough cold, but Ritchie’s speedfreak adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories blasts the whodunnit intrigue out of the famous detective’s investigations. Apart from being too short for the part, Robert Downey as Holmes swans through
the shebang on auto-pilot, his roguish charisma wearing thin at an early stage, while Jude Law likewise opts for caricature in his too-swashbuckling portrayal of Doctor Watson. Both men are clearly happy to be pocketing their substantial wages but they fail miserably at creating the genuine warmth that is so engaging in the better buddy fl icks (the bar set by Butch and Sundance is way beyond them). As I did in the fi rst instalment of what threatens to be a long and tedious franchise, I wondered what might have been had the roles been reversed – physically it would certainly have been more convincing. The criminal genius Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) is involved in fomenting war in Europe, but the subtlety and fi endish scheming that underpins his adversarial relationship with Holmes is buried beneath layer upon layer of show-off y CGI. Worst of all is the constant brawling, with every turn in the plot apparently
designed to set up the next round of fl amboyant fi sticuff s. NB – I saw this at Sydney’s Verona only hours after watching Michael Clarke amass 329 not out against the Indians. By comparison, with its stupefying brashness and mindless machismo, the fi lm quickly became a thundering bore. ~ John Campbell
The Adventures of TintinI’d be surprised if Tintin, Hergé’s young Belgian reporter, had much of a readership in Australia. The graphic novels (of which I boast no great knowledge) have always seemed Euro-quaint in a way that might never cater to the West’s fondness for butch masculinity – I mean, the bloke has no girl and is accompanied on his adventures by a little white dog, for gawd’s sake! But with Steven Spielberg at the helm and Peter Jackson producing (he will direct the sequel), a box-offi ce juggernaut is assured. Kicking off at a Brussels in what looks like the 1950s (everybody speaks English), Tintin buys the model of an old sail-ship in which has been hidden a mysterious torn sheet from a manuscript that will lead to pots of seventeenth century gold. The search for the missing segments of the manuscript, while they are being pursued by villains, takes Tintin and Snowy, his delightful mutt, on to the open seas, where they are befriended by Captain Haddock, an alcoholic Scottish tar, and thence to the postcard kingdom of Morocco, via an encounter with soldiers of the French Foreign Legion (who, thankfully, haven’t changed since the days of Abbott and Costello). Technically, the fi lm has been shot in ‘motion capture’, a digital process that creates images more convincing than conventional animation without being totally lumbered by reality – it’s the ultimate trick of the fantasist. The result is so visually intoxicating that the plot’s twists and turns are of only secondary interest.
The character of Tintin himself (voiced by Jamie Bell), a boy-man, is a bit of a blank, but Haddock (Andy Serkis) is fully engaging and Snowy – well, for mine he’s the star of the movie. A minute more would have been too many; John Williams’s score pounds the listener to the point of exhaustion and so rapidly does the action move from one crisis to the next that you just don’t get time to catch your breath, but otherwise it is impossible not to be enchanted by the exquisite imagery. ~ John Campbell
InbetweenersYou can analyse it all you like, dissect it to within an inch of its life while determining whether it is off ensive or acceptable, but when it comes down to it, our response to humour is entirely involuntary. So it is with some embarrassment that I make my confession – I laughed like a drain throughout this rude, crude but deliriously truthful comedy. Based on the TV show of the same name, it’s about four boys and what they get up to in their English ‘schoolies’ week. Jay the spiv (James Buckley), Will the nerd (Simon Bird), randy Neil (Blake Harrison) and lovelorn Simon (Joe Thomas) head off to Malia, a ghastly resort in Crete, decked out in their Pussay Patrol T-shirts, with the aim of getting plastered and laid. From the minute that the bus drops them at their run-down hotel, the excursion turns pear shaped. Why this movie is immeasurably superior to the loathsome Hangover 2 and the despicably dumb ‘Bridesmaids’ is diffi cult to ascertain – the language is unrelentingly coarse and some of the sight gags really do go beyond the pale (the poo in the bidet is as disturbing as it is hilarious) – but I think it might have something to do with the boys themselves.
With not a hint of the contrived crassness or ill-concealed vanity of the Americans, they
come across as entirely natural, not made up. Their foolishness is instantly recognisable. Gravitating to the most uncool bar in town, they see four ladettes on a similar jaunt and decide to crack on to them on the dance fl oor – I laughed so much at their routine
that I had tears running down my face (jeez it felt good) – and the story evolves from that encounter. But for all its riotous vulgarity, there are moments of quiet authenticity when Jay cries after being bullied and Simon fi nally frees himself from the spell of his ex-girlfriend. Sustained by genuine heart and, ultimately, the need to love and be loved, for mine, this is the funniest comedy

1. Sophie Lowe stars as the Kate in question in the
Australian fi lm Beautiful Kate (NBN, Saturday,
9.30pm), alongside other notable actors Rachel
Griffi ths, Ben Mendelsohn and Bryan Brown. Director
Rachel Ward adapted the script from a 1982 novel of
the same name by Newton Thornburg. The fi lm was
shot on location in the Flinders Ranges. A writer, Ned
Kendall (Mendelsohn), is returning to the remote
and isolated family home inhabited by his sister Sally
(Griffi ths), to say goodbye to his father, Bruce (Brown),
who is dying. Memories of his sister Kate arise.
2. Another Australian fi lm, Balibo (ABC1, Sunday,
8.30pm), features Anthony LaPaglia as the journalist
investigating the deaths of the Balibo Five, Australian
journalists who were killed in the 1975 Indonesian
invasion of East Timor. It highlights another shameful
instance of the Australian government failing to
properly investigate atrocity on behalf of its own
citizens.

PLEASE NOTE The Echo takes great care producing this
guide, but unfortunately TV 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 off ender – they frequently change their prime-time movies and other shows just before screening, and Channel 7 (Prime7, 7two
and 7mate) is not much better.

It was to be one of my Canberra Christmas highlights. My sister had promised, for the purchase of our festive lunch ingredients, to take me to Costco. And in the light of what was to come it was an even better idea, if only for purposes of comparison, to preface that with the Fyshwick markets, whose early morning queues at that time of year for seafood were legendary. Glorious markets – dazzlingly heaped displays of fruit and vegetables, warm bread perfuming the air, the frenetic milling around takeaway coff ee outlets, meltingly ripe bries outside delis smeared on to crackers for sampling – nothing will ever beat this sort of market, in which the world increasingly proliferates, to our good fortune. Even if the forty-minute shuffl e toward the eventual prize of a ticket to be served seafood resulted in the disappointing news that the bugs had sold out by 6am, we still came away clutching fat tiger prawns.
And then on to Costco, out near the airport. All my sister had really mentioned was that it was about supersizes: the quantities sold; the people who bought. Indeed as we crossed the massive expanse of car park toward the building I was struck by very fat people whose girths were camoufl aged by the width of the shopping trolleys. Even the shopping trolleys are huge!
The Canberra Costco opened in July last year, the third one in Australia – although according to the Courier Mail, which cited Costco advertising for store managers, a Brisbane one beckons. In nine countries there are 560 Costcos. What, then, is Costco?
It is the largest warehouse club chain in the US, a bulk retail outlet, the mother of all supermarkets. I was expecting something similar to a place called the Metro outside Florence in Italy where restaurateurs and store-holders shop to stock up on absolutely everything, all of it coming in vast quantities or huge sizes, and I was not
disappointed. Except that Costco is available not only to businesses but also to the average shopper, for a small membership fee of $60 a year. In return what you get is not only scale but also extremely low prices. (God, that half kilo block of Triple Creme we tossed blithely into our trolley only cost about $14.)
Costco was launched in California by two brothers who called it Price Club; it was in a warehouse and for business shoppers only. After three years it had 17 locations and 1.3 million members. Typically, what it sells is bulk-packaged; customers must supply their own carrier bags; most products are delivered to the warehouses on shipping pallets which are then used to display them, thereby saving on shelving. Skylights, monitored by electronic light meters, ensure that lighting costs are kept down. Fresh produce – meat, dairy, seafood, baked goods (pizzas, cakes), fl owers, clothing, books, computer software, fi ne wines, jewellery, home appliances, art, furniture – you can get it all at Costco. Everything.
And there I was – enamoured of farmers markets and locally-sourced acquisitions, fi ercely loyal to concepts like food miles and low-carbon footprints and shopping seasonally and specialised stores, sensitive to issues like the destruction of town centres as a result of out-of-town megaplexes, and factory workers in poorer countries working long hours for minuscule wages in order to keep prices low for western consumers – there I was in Costco and I might have been in heaven. I off er no apology, and I was certainly not alone, judging by the swarms and swarms of other worshippers, wielding their large trolleys from wide aisle to wide aisle. The half-side of fresh, fi lleted Atlantic salmon we later feasted on, charred from the grill, was, I hate to say, every bit as superb as were the tiger prawns from Fyshwick market.

Sachin misses out as Puppy love scores at the SCGJohn Campbell
We’d all come to the hundredth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground to see the demi-god, Sachin Tendulkar, score his hundredth international hun-dred. Destiny awaited.
The bass riff of Icehouse’s Great Southern Land drifted away into the terraced streets of genteel Paddington as M S Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat. India’s supporters went berko. It meant that we would almost certainly see Tendulkar at the wicket that day.
Gambir edged and was caught third ball. Stodgy Drav-id departed soon after, leaving the tourists at 2/30. The stage was set.
Tendulkar emerged from the shadows of the Members’ Stand to a standing ovation. Poor bugger, I thought. How
could he not be weighed down by his own aura, by the heavy burden of expectation.
He was still there at lunch, batting with calm resolve and
flashes of brilliance. If he can find a partner to stay with him he’ll get his ton for sure, no-body doubted it. But on 41 his stars went out of alignment.
Young firebrand James Pattin-son bowled him, to the accom-paniment of a collective gasp from the outer. The Swami Army’s drums were silenced.
Australia embarked on its pursuit of India’s paltry score with now typical ineptitude. Our top order was gone in a trice and suddenly 191 was miles away. None of us had any inkling of what was coming.
The ageing champion, R S Ponting, refusing to go gently into that good night of retire-ment aboard the Channel Nine gravy train, set about restor-ing the innings. At the other end stood Punter’s successor as captain, M J Clarke, the social pages’ tattoo’d fancy pants to whom the mob had steadfastly refused to warm.
Batting to prolong his career, it was pugilistic Ponting, with the hairy forearms of a mer-
chant mariner, who held our attention.
By lunch on Day 2 he had progressed to 97 and the crowd was willing the old bloke to get the three runs that would spit in the eye of Time’s cruel proscriptions. That Clarke had attained 103 was almost inci-dental.
A near-suicidal single after the break saw Ponting reach his ton. The reception was stag-gering. Big love swept across the ground. Sport has primal moments like this that can’t be matched in other endeavours. Even the pistol-slinging coppers stood and cheered. India, under the pump, became a rabble.
Sensing his opponents’ dis-array, and to remind us all that he was still there, Clarke im-periously smashed the spinner Ashwin back over his head for six. Get that into ya.
Ponting’s fall merely resulted in Hussey continuing the car-nage, as we belatedly realised that the Pup from Sydney’s West was on his way to some-thing special.
On and on Clarke bat-ted until, on Day 3, under a grey sky and with everybody decked out in pink for the Jane McGrath Foundation, he clas-sically drove Sharma to the boundary. He was not out 303.
Then it happened. ‘Claaar-key, Claaar-key, Claaar- key.’ The beery, deep-throated chant went up. It had taken a triple century on his home ground, but Pup had at last won over the great unwashed. That he would dismiss Tendulkar in In-dia’s second dig was only inevi-table. Sachin’s century would have to wait.
This SCG Test belonged to M J Clarke.
Australia’s captain, M J Clarke, drives to the boundary on his way to a massive 329 not out.

Sport when the states align…A framework has recently been released to provide a nationally consistent approach for Aus-tralia’s sport and recreation system.
The National Sport and Active Recreational Policy Framework was developed by Commonwealth, state and territory government depart-ments responsible for sport and recreation, with feedback provided by a range of national sporting organisations, active
recreation organisations and peak bodies.
The Framework provides a guide for the development and alignment of policies, strate-gies and programs by govern-ments within their own juris-dictions in pursuit of a high performing sport and active recreation system that delivers: increased participation; suc-cess in international competi-tion; strong national sporting competition; and contributes
to whole-of-government ob-jectives including improved health and education outcomes including sport in schools and higher education institutions, enhanced social inclusion and community development.
The Framework has been de-signed to benefit both sport and active recreation, from grass-roots through to the elite level.
The new framework will be a guide to assist in the develop-ment of policies, strategies and programs to deliver benefits to all Australians through sport and active recreation.
This new approach will see governments working in part-nership to achieve on agreed priorities. It will be a guide to assist in the development of policies, strategies and pro-grams to deliver benefits to all Australians through sport and active recreation.

42 January 10, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au<echowebsection=Real Estate>
According to the Housing Indus-try Association’s quarterly Na-tional Outlook, the most recent update for housing starts (dwell-ing commencements), for the September 2011 quarter, high-lights further weakening into the 2011/12 fi nancial year. Seasonally adjusted housing starts fell by 6.8 per cent to 35,672, the lowest level in two years.
HIA’s view is that housing starts will decline by 10.4 per cent in FY2011/12 to a level of 141,159 before recovering by 5.6 per cent to a level of 149,007 in 2012/13. Detached house starts are forecast to fall by 6.6 per cent to 90,488 in 2011/12 before growing by 5.6 per cent in 2012/13 to a level of 95,535. Starts for ‘other dwell-ings’ are forecast to drop by 16.4 per cent in 2011/12 to 50,671 be-fore increasing by 5.5 per cent to a level of 53,472 in 2012/13. A full set of HIA’s housing forecasts can
be found at: http://economics.hia.com.au/media/December%202011%20%20Forecasts.pdf.
Th e downside risk to new home building
Based on the uncertainty surrounding the situation in Europe, the risk is for a weaker result. Th ere are a multitude of outcomes that could unfold in terms of the saga in Europe and its implications for the Austral-ian economy. Consequently the risks to the Australian economy and the extent to which they might eventuate as real eco-nomic weakness are many and varied in timing, but particularly in magnitude.
Th e main implication of this situation for Australia’s housing sector (and the wider economy) is that nobody knows how much further the RBA will cut rates and nobody knows whether the federal government will step
in to stimulate the domestic economy, and if they do, to what extent, with what policies, aft er what period of deliberation.
Th e world according to Europe, which is the current theatre play-ing out, muddles through to mixed reviews but with the au-dience refraining from wanting a refund, then our forecast trough in housing starts in Australia of around 141,000 is a reason-able expectation. Th is of course would be a very weak outcome which betrayed yet again the ur-gency in reforming the supply side delivery of new housing.
A further meltdown in Europe could see a result for housing starts not much weaker than our core forecast if the domestic policy response was rapid, ag-gressive, and eff ective (three fac-tors that are obviously not mu-tually exclusive). However, less than rapid and eff ective policy stimulus could fail to prevent housing starts reaching or falling below their GFC-induced low of 131,420 reached in 2008/09.

48 January 10, 2012 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au
What a week – the hit-and-run of a local, the discovery of killer psychiatric patient Trent Jennings asleep in a stolen black Merc in Bayshore Drive, and an apparent fall from the Cape Byron headland. More drama than the average small shire is used to.
Google Maps managed to avoid the Pacifi c Highway up the coast as a preferred route for travellers over the holidays. We wonder how many tour-ists made it here via Armidale instead.
Visitors thinking of indulging in a mushroom trip, please be sure you have local guides to the correct variety. A Can-berra chef and a diner recently died from liver failure after the ingestion of Death Cap mushrooms by mistake. The Death Cap is not endemic to this region but the Gold Top is not for the faint-hearted ei-ther. ‘In 1971, a noted physi-cian wrote that “Over the years, the Southport Hospital on the Gold Coast has had a steady fl ow of accidental poisonings with Psilocybe cubensis (Mc-Carthy, 1971). A good exam-ple occurred in 1969 when a whole family was aff ected af-ter a picnic somewhere in the mountains.” No mention is made as to the exact location where this incident took place. Symptoms from this intoxica-tion included “...Euphoria, de-pression, inappropriate speech and answers, visual hallucina-tions, ataxia, vomiting, urinary incontinence, diarrhoea, dry mouth, and dilated pupils, and a respectable family man was caused to run naked through the hospital, trying to molest the nurses who were attempt-ing to treat his illness”.’ – from Magic Mushrooms of Australia and New Zealand by John W Allen.
Now that the Christian celebra-tions have passed, it is probably
time to note that sightings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are recorded in Utah in petro-glyphs which may even predate pirates. See the photographic evidence at www.venganza.org/category/sightings.
Psychopath alert: Israel and the US are to hold the largest ever missile defence exercise this spring, with thousands of US soldiers being deployed to Is-rael (www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=250249). The news follows recent tension with Iran, which is backed by China and Russia. 2012 seems to be shaping up as another year of oil wars.
Th e new year is a time for di-eting, as folks struggle to rid themselves of excess plum pud. As a guide, the Dieti-tians Association of Australia reckons you should avoid the Lemon Detox Diet, Blood Type Diet and the Acid and Alkaline Diet. You can find out more about the DAA at http://daa.asn.au. We reckon
you can’t go too wrong with lots of fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles, some exercise and less Chupa Chups.

Who says chickens aren’t creative? Our informant says, ‘The chook in question had just had a dirt bath and then shook off the dirt around her, neatly stepping out to create this stencil art. All chooks in the vicinity preferred to remain anonymous and scampered as I took this shot.’ It’s about time Banksy (www.banksy.co.uk/) had a bit of competition.
