Free energy co faces closure over red tapeHans Lovejoy

It’s been revealed that a micro-hy-droelectric turbine manufacturing company has been driven to bank-ruptcy by the state government and the Clean Energy Council (CEC).

Furthermore it’s claimed the tech-nology, which can run 24/7 on a source of running water and requires no batteries or inverters, has been largely ignored by politicians from both parties over many years.

Five jobs were axed last Monday at the Dorrigo based plant, which was to turn fi ft een years old in April.

Pelena Energy director Peter Lynch told The Echo that aft er try-ing to obtain a production licence in Australia proved too diffi cult, he resorted to exporting to developing countries overseas.

‘Over the past 15 years,’ he says, ‘we have been forced to focus on high-risk countries like PNG, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu for sales because there has been an active – almost campaign approach – by various Australian state and federal agencies to exclude our technology from the renewable en-ergy mix in Australia.

‘Th e crunch point has come pri-marily due to the inability to fi nish a job in Vanuatu. We shipped a turbine package but it got stuck on a wharf due to a dispute between our client, the Vanuatu Department of Energy and the provincial government agen-cy responsible for the wharves.’

He says the fi nal straw was when another job off er fell through from the Pacifi c island’s government over a week ago. ‘It’s a great shame that what we do has been proven to work, and is wanted, especially in the Pacifi c.’

Mr Lynch claims his stainless steel turbines outlast many others availa-ble, and include universal sized parts.

Braving the rain with my one and a half year old, we set out to see what adventures we might fi nd at this year’s Bluesfest.

For Emily, the adventure peaked on Friday at the rescue helicopter stand with a bright red balloon. But for me, it was on a baby-free Saturday night with Robert Plant and Iggy Pop.

After finding a resting place for my car on the outskirts, I was happy to have the opportunity for a long walk. Navigating through the cattle runs toward the festival was surpris-ingly easy; I expected a boggy sludge from the thousands of human hooves traipsing in and out but I arrived

clean without the need for gumboots.Upon entry I headed straight for

the longest queue in the festival: the friendly Latino coffee stall. They’re worth the wait. My drug of choice would only cost me $4 a pop and leave me functioning the next day.

With two iced chais in hand I wan-der towards former Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant, sipping my liquid happiness.

Th e crowd was thick. I contemplat-ed joining the resourceful climbers attempting to catch a glimpse on the stands reserved for big ticket spend-ers. Security was onto it and my op-portunity was lost. Anyway, his show was breathtaking.

It was then I discovered my friend,

recently unencumbered by relation-ship, hanging out with a couple of top shelf comedians.

And so we headed for Iggy Pop. Caught in her slipstream, I found

myself right up the front and on the edge of the moshpit.

I could go no further – my desire to hang onto the contents of my bag was too strong.

I watched with vicarious awe as she dived into the spot where moments earlier Iggy had been crowd surfi ng, tethered by a cable man at the end of his mic from the stage. At 66 he’s still got it. Th e mood is contagious when you’re amid a crowd of sweat, phero-mones and raw excitement.

Suddenly I felt sorry for the Dia-

mond ticket holders missing out up there in their sanitary confi ned seats.

Overtcome by the toxic concoction of 1000s of sweaty revellers, I forgot to leave early to beat the traffi c jam.

It took an hour and a half to fi lter out through the narrow exit.

Th is could easily have been a rec-ipe for disaster, but the generosity, patience and good humour of the carpark and cloakroom volunteers I encountered made for a positive and unforgettable festival experience.

Th ank you!

Police have said it was a quiet weekend in the shire with only minor infractions recorded so far during the holiday break.

Two separate drug opera-tions were in force. The first three days of the Bluefest saw dogs sniffi ng and police staff searching patrons at the en-trance to the event as well as a caravan texting for drugs and alcohol on the western exit from town outside the Byron Bay hospital.

Tweed–Byron duty officer,

Inspector Jim Kain, said that the results of the mini blitz wouldn’t be available until af-ter Tuesday’s de-briefi ng at the Tweed LAC.

He did say, however, that Bluesfest until Monday mid-day had recorded no major in-cidents and that police staff had dealt with a few minor off ences and some trespass issues.

He also said activity was quiet across the board. ‘We had a drug unit at Bluesfest for the fi rst three days’, he said. ‘It’s a been a pretty good weekend, particularly in Byron Bay.’

Th e Arakwal and Byron Shire communities and people from all over the country came to say farewell to local man Uncle Mickey Kay last Wednesday at a remembrance service held at the Byron Regional Sports and Cultural Complex.

Mick, who was 51, passed away unexpectedly. ‘His three daughters, who were very close to their dad, his grandchildren and the entire local Aboriginal mob are left overwhelmed and

very heartbroken with his sud-den passing’, said Delta Kay, who read a eulogy at the service.

‘The Byron Community have given us so much love and support.’

Close to 1,300 people came to say goodbye to Uncle Mick; Gavin Brown led the proceed-ings and included Ian Cohen speaking on behalf of Jan Bar-ham MLC, who was unable to attend. Various family and friends then shared stories aft er.

Jodie Molloy noticed the ‘Cheer Up, Slow Down, Chill Out’ sign at the entrance to Byron Bay was broken, and she put a call out in the hope that it could be fi xed and put back up.

She found a builder, sourced suppliers and then painted it just in time for the hoardes of punt-ers visiting Byron Bay on their annual pilgrimage to Bluesfest.

‘It’s a feel-good sign’, says Jodie. ‘It resonates with the all-round happy and respectful community spirit of Byron Bay.

‘I’m just glad I can assist to bring it back home where it belongs.’

Creator or the original sign, Rob Peroni aka ‘Batman’ gave his blessings for the re-run.

Mayoral blessing‘I’m glad the sign will be re-

made. It’s necessary I think as the mix of energies coming to the small town really is ever-changing so a message like this

helps gently guide those with ill intentions and ease tension in this beautiful town. Th at’s the aim anyway.’

Jodie also sought the bless-

ing of mayor Simon Richard-son who gladly gave it.

‘Spontaneous beautifi cation of our Shire, especially gestures of goodwill and peace, ring

true with me’, he said.And for this who are leaving

town, there is a special mes-sage on the back-side of the sign: ‘relax’.

A new festival for the Bluesfest site has been announced.

Boomerang Festival will be a multi-arts event with an in-digenous theme and will be held on Bundjalung land at the Bluesfest site over the Labour Day long weekend in October.

Starting this year, Boomer-ang will be directed by Bund-jalung woman and well known artistic director Rhoda Roberts.

While program details are sketchy at present, Blues-fest director Peter Noble said Boomerang Festival would ‘define a true sense of place and belonging through some daring workshops, and ideas, forums and intergenerational exchange programs’.

At the event’s launch on Sat-urday Mr Noble said, ‘Th is is a special moment for me per-

sonally, and for us all – hosting a signifi cant cultural event on the Bluesfest site which is ac-tually Bundjalung country not only makes sense but makes me proud.

Th rough the healing of mu-sic, the rhythm of language and the power of dance, it’s a time to have fun and gather as we recognise the similarities we all share.’

Set for Labour Day long weekend

Also at the launch was fed-eral arts minster Tony Burke, who said he ‘wouldn’t be sur-prised’ if he saw applications for funding of the festival in the near future.

But Mr Noble said the festi-val, which is estimated to cost $1.2 million to put on, would go ahead with or without funding.

New festival launches at Bluesfest site

A Toyota Coaster bus travel-ling west on Ewingsdale Rd, near Belongil Fields, collided with a pedestrian at around 11.30 on Saturday night.

Th e bus ended up down an embankment and rolled on its side while a 48 year old male who was crossing the road was hit by the right hand side bull bar and thrown onto the roadway.

Tweed/Byron Duty Offi cer, Inspector Jim Kain said there were four women sitting in the front seat of the bus at the time of the accident. One passenger had her leg stuck and a second passenger stayed in the vehicle

to assist her.Brunswick Valley Rescue

and paramedics extracted the two women in the bus, which required the removal of seat-ing and the use of spine board, hand tools, generators and lighting. The pedestrian suf-fered fractured ribs, leg injuries, shattered hip sockets, internal injuries bruising and lacerations. He was taken to Tweed Hospital where he is still being treated.

The driver, a 38-year-old male, was taken to Byron for x-rays for suspected broken wrists. It is not clear if it was raining at the time of the ac-cident.

‘Th e success we’ve had with these systems is unmatched be-cause they’re all still working, whereas almost all other hydro systems have failed.

‘Th e systems continue to gen-erate clean, renewable electric-ity for communities, schools, and health clinics [overseas].

‘Th is has resulted in signifi -cant development benefi ts for the communities such as elec-tric lighting which allows chil-dren to undertake homework aft er dark and people to gener-ate income through the use of their own electricity generating system. We’re solving one of the world’s biggest problems: en-ergy independence, yet I have had no support.’

How it was killed off Mr Lynch lays much of the

blame on the Clean Energy Council (CEC), who facilitate accreditation for hydroelectric installations on behalf of the government. ‘Pelena is, and has been, abused by the CEC from a number of fronts.’

He says the main issue is that ‘only those with photovoltaic (solar) accreditation can get micro-hydro accreditation.’

‘Hydro experts are excluded from accreditation, and only PV accreditation can be main-tained through regular PV ap-proved installs. Basically, the hydro experts are excluded from accreditation.’

A spokesperson from the The Clean Energy Council confi rmed the claims with The Echo. ‘Th e Clean Energy Coun-cil is in the process of introduc-ing a stand-alone accreditation for micro-hydro and this should be ready to roll out within the next couple of months,’ he said.

Notwithstanding, further claims by Mr Lynch suggest hy-dro’s potentials are being stran-gled further by CEC’s red tape.

‘A 100kw (kilowatt) PV so-lar system can be installed and connected to the electric-ity ‘grid’ without any issue in NSW,’ he says.

‘In fact, it has been promoted and signifi cantly subsidised by state and federal governments.

‘However, a micro-hydro (generating electricity 24/7) cannot be installed to the grid, nor any of the electricity used for any income generating pur-pose, unless a full EIA (envi-ronmental impact statement) has been carried out and ap-proved – likely costing in ex-cess of $120,000.’

Additionally he says, ‘A hy-dro which generates more than an average output per year of 2.8kw, or is larger than 6.4kw must be registered as a “power station” and subject to the same reporting requirements as all other power stations, like coal fi red power stations. Solar PV systems under 100kw do not.’

Little to no political support from Nats

Mr Lynch says support from his local state and federal MPs – both of whom are National party members – has been un-derwhelming.

‘I have been totally unsuc-cessful with successive [coali-tion and Labor] governments over the years,’ he told The Echo.

State MP for Oxley, which covers Dorrigo, is Nationals leader and deputy premier An-drew Stoner, who is also min-ister for trade and investment.

He advised The Echo through his media spokesperson, ‘Th e closure of any business and loss of jobs is disappointing par-ticularly in regional NSW.’

‘NSW Trade & Investment has provided advice, introduc-tions and other business facili-tation services to Pelena Energy over several years via our export advisers and business develop-ment managers on the north coast. The department also provided a grant to assist the company to develop a strategic marketing plan and website.

‘Pelena Energy contacted Trade & Investment on March 22 in relation to its current dif-fi culties. It is understood that the decision to close the op-eration is purely a commercial decision.’

In reply, Mr Lynch says, ‘We received $2,549, which was less than half the total cost of

developing the website at that time. No assistance has been provided to Pelena Energy in any way before or since this date in 2004, despite numerous applications and meetings.’

Hydro not entirely ignored by govt

But hydro hasn’t been completely ignored by the O’Farrell/Stoner government.

In 2011, the same year they were elected, Business Spec-tator reported that $300,000 was awarded to NSW hydro company Waratah Power, for ‘funding to pursue research in small-scale run-of-river hydro schemes in NSW’.

As of 2013, Waratah Power’s website is light on detail regard-ing its projects or achievements. Its chairman Graham Hart is also a former ‘career banker.’

Mr Lynch queries why his company was excluded from the funding. ‘Mr Stoner was noticeably embarrassed about this grant funding when I met with him in Dorrigo last year.

‘Prior to Mr Stoner’s election to government, he was literally punching the air in Dorrigo on one electorate visitation stating “Dorrigo – micro-hydro capi-tal of Australia!” Th e enthusi-asm for supporting an innova-tive company in his electorate has signifi cantly, and demon-strably, waned.’

MP Hartsuyker: no political weight

As for federal Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker, who repre-sents the Division of Cowper, his spokesperson told The Echo there is ‘no recent record of contact’ from Pelena Energy or Peter Lynch.

‘We made representations around four or fi ve or years ago,’ he said. Mr Hartsuyker was una-vailable for further comment as he was travelling by plane.

In return, Mr Lynch says Mr Hartsuyker has ‘made the state-ment a number of times that he has “made representation” in Canberra on our behalf.’

‘Th is has, without exception,

resulted in no support or posi-tive outcome. Our experience with Mr Hartsuyker has been one of the most disappointing aspects of relocating to rural NSW as he demonstrably has no political weight with either the Nationals or in Canberra.’

Meanwhile energy market advocate Mark Byrne from the Total Environment Centre told The Echo that state and local environment planning instru-ments are prohibiting projects such as these from succeeding.

‘Specifi cally the Environmen-tal Planning And Assessment Act 1979 needs to be amended to refl ect hydro technology.’

Glazed AbbottPerhaps the most illuminat-

ing aspect of the disconnect with how hydro – a technology that has been around at least a cen-tury – has been marginalised.

‘Last year Tony Abbott came to Dorrigo,’ says Mr Lynch.

‘I was with the chamber of commerce so I got to introduce myself and my invention.

‘When I told him of the is-sues I was facing getting it off the ground, a glaze came over his eyes. It was a significant point where I realised that the people talking to people like him are not showing them what is possible. Th e solutions are here and now.’

When asked by The Echo why he doesn’t sell his units on eBay for example, he said, ‘Each attempt has been thwart-ed by successive barriers in leg-islation to get them installed on a large scale in NSW, or thwart-ed by an apparent government incentive program only to have micro-hydro “specifi cally ex-cluded” at the last minute in favour of PV solar technologies and, to a lesser extent, wind.’

Mr Lynch made the point that aft er media coverage on his technologies, he inevitably gets a barrage of calls for orders.

Due to planning legislation and CEC guidelines however, he is unable to sell the units in Australia. For more visit www.pelena.com.au while the web-site is still online.

Against a background of con-tinual tones emanating from the chant-a-thon, the sixteenth annual Starlight Wellbeing Expo was another successful festival held in the Byron Shire over the Easter break.

Th e chant was a fi rst for the festival: a ‘no experience re-quired’ opportunity to sing un-til your heart was content.

Chanting wasn’t the only ‘a-thon’, with a free healathon event held by local therapists.

Other activities included crystal singing bowl music, and workshops on the joy of ‘truly living to your highest potential’ and the power of play.

With a huge range of stalls, visitors had the opportunity to be ‘read’, massaged, healed, hit with healing lights and even have their aura lights photographed.

Th e Wild Fox organic wine stall also proved to be popular.

Tarot card reader Chicchan was kept very busy over the weekend looking into the future at the Starlight Festival in Bangalow.

Greens leader Christine Milne will launch Dawn Walker’s cam-paign on Friday April 5, from 6pm at the Murwillumbah Community Centre.

Th e NSW Australian Medical Association (AMA) vice presi-dent has told an inquiry into medical cannabis that the or-ganisation ‘considers in certain circumstances cannabis may be of medical benefi t.’

While not condoning its use for non-medical purposes, Dr

Saxon Smith said it could assist with ‘HIV related wasting and cancer related wasting, as well as nausea and vomiting in peo-ple undergoing cancer chemo-therapy who do not respond to conventional therapies.’

He also added further re-search should be carried out.

Th e comments were made at the ongoing inquiry at the NSW parliament on March 18, which is available at www.parliament.nsw.gov.au. Currently medicinal cannabis is illegal in Australia.

Despite cannabis being ille-gal in many states in the US, its government owns the pat-

ent on the plant. On October 7, 2003, ‘Cannabinoids as anti-oxidants and neuroprotectants’ was declared a US patent by the United States Government as represented by the Depart-ment of Health and Human Services. See http://1.usa.gov/dtbcVO for more.

A recent Getup meeting in Mullumbimby has identified three issues of most impor-tance to its members: climate change, small business support, resource protection issues.

Th e gathering was organised by Carole Gamble and Chris Abraham, and they said in a statement, ‘Obviously, most of us are very concerned as we teeter towards the next federal

election with issues of impor-tance being submerged beneath a rotten circus in Canberra.’

‘Everyone brought to the meeting carefully thought out issues for discussion and these included population control, education, public transport, globalisation, asylum seekers and detention, gainful employ-ment opportunities and health.’

An overfilled gas cylinder leaked at Byron High School last Wednesday, causing emergency procedures to be activated, in-cluding the evacuation of the campus for more than an hour.

Acting principal Donna Pearson told The Echo the school’s main gas tank was re-fi lled yesterday morning but in the heat of the day the gas ex-panded beyond the cylinder’s

capacity to cope. A pressure relief valve was activated, caus-ing gas to start waft ing into the classrooms.

‘We evacuated the school and called 000. The Fire Brigade arrived promptly and quickly dealt with the problem,’ she said. ‘I would like to thank them for their swift response and every-one at the school for co-operat-ing with the evacuation so well.

Competitors of all ages will race down the main street of Bangalow on Sunday May 19 for the annual Billycart Derby.

Event organiser Tony Hee-son has been involved for sev-eral years and believes that the popularity of the Derby can be attributed to its inclusive nature.

‘The Billycart Derby is a wonderful example of a com-munity event because there are no barriers to entry,’ he said.

‘It showcases good old fash-ioned fun regardless of age or social status. Everyone can take part whether as individu-als, families, workplaces or schools. Th is year we expect many entries, showing the strength of the Derby as it em-braces an even wider reach in our thriving community.’

Th ere are races for everyone – boys and girls from fi ve years of age, through to ‘opens’ and celebrities.

Don Page MP is a regular participant in the celebrity race and the oldest participant is claimed to be ‘Bangalow Bill’ at 85 years of age.

Mr Heeson says, ‘Cart cat-egories range from traditional, home-grown, professional and novelty which once featured

the amazing Titanic Billy Cart, complete with the iceberg.

‘In 2013 it is hoped there will be more innovative de-signs with the only conditions being weight which must be under 75kg, good steering and brakes are essential. Safety is paramount and thanks to local sponsors CRT Eden Country Stores, over 600 bales of hay are brought in to line the main

street for safety reasons.‘Th e main focus of the day is

not the speed of the entries, but family fun for participants and spectators. Th e grand parade is a highlight, taking place at 12.30pm featuring local bands, vintage cars, schools, local clubs, scouts and celebrities.’

Racing will start at 9am, so get your cart ready, with all par-ticipants marshalled from 7am.

Full rules, cart classification, and race schedule can be found on the website: www.bangalow-billycart.com.au, and registra-tions are on the day from 7am in the Bangalow Hotel.

Volunteers, potential spon-sors and those wishing to fi nd out more information can con-tact Tony Heeson on 0419 715 098 a/h 6688 4236 or [email protected].

Comment

Easter – surely an appro-priate time for Julia Gil-lard to break the mould

of her prime ministership and declare peace.

After all her long time foe Kevin Rudd is now finally van-quished and, as the humble backbench member for Grif-fith, once again off to tour the furthest reaches of the Earth.

He is unlikely to disappear from the news altogether; a Rudd-obsessed media will see to that. But if not entirely out of sight, he can be considered out of mind, which gives Gillard the breathing space to reassess the situation and to decide if, at last, it is time to give peace a chance.

It is true that as the leader of a minority government and the first woman to hold the office she has been the target of unre-mitting hostility from large sec-tions of the media; she did not start all the battles. But she has certainly given as good as she gets, and in recent times appears to adopt the somewhat unchris-tian slogan of the late unlament-ed Joh Bjelke-Petersen: Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first.

And this has meant that Australia has become a coun-try somewhat like Oceania in George Orwell’s dysto-pian 1984: always at war with somebody, somewhere. It doesn’t matter whom, let alone why: war is the natural state of things. War is Peace. Thus every announcement becomes a new bulletin from some front or other; good news only means a transitory victory in the never ending struggle against the enemy, whoever it may be.

To be fair, it did not start with Gillard, or with Rudd; John Howard had his own feuds and vendettas against the unions and asylum seek-ers and the so-called elites, to name but three. But Howard

always maintained that he was trying to unite the populace, not divide it – that he was gov-erning for all Australians. ‘The things that unite us are greater than the things that divide us,’ he proclaimed constantly.

In practice this was not quite true: not only did he make every attempt to demonise and marginalise his enemies but he lavishly rewarded his friends (and those he sought to make

his friends) with tax cuts and handouts. But he maintained the façade: his announce-ments were always couched in terms of the public good. For instance, the massive re-direction of funds from public health and education to the private sector was always por-trayed as reforms in the best interests of patients and pupils.

But when the government changed, so did the story. As the Global Financial Crisis took hold, Kevin Rudd penned an es-say denouncing the failure of the advocates of free market capital-ism, which of course included the business establishment of Australia. And in 2010 his long-awaited response to Ken Hen-ry’s tax review was not to take a broad approach to reform, but to attack the mining industry for not paying its fair share.

He may have been factually correct, but it was a political blunder which Gillard was to magnify and repeat. She mend-ed fences with the miners, but only by capitulating to their demands; immediately after-

wards her new deputy, Wayne Swan, made it clear that the war was far from over with a savage personalised assault on some of the mining magnates. Instead of attempting genuine tax reform by an inclusive process that brought the parties together in the manner of Bob Hawke’s fa-mous summits, it was us against them, no holds barred.

In trying to implement An-drew Wilkie’s demands for

measures to protect gambling addicts, Gillard took the same approach to the clubs industry, with the same result: a politically costly back down. It was not all defeat: Nicola Roxon’s head-on clash with the tobacco indus-try over plain packaging ended with a spectacular victory. But the atmosphere was always one of crisis, of confrontation, of re-sorting to battle without having tried negotiation first.

Gillard spelled out her ap-proach in her speeches to the AWU and ACTU conferences this year: she was with the work-ers and the unions, no ifs and no buts, one side right and one side wrong, and she would not be taking a backward step. And she didn’t: the next confrontation was Stephen Conroy’s ultima-tum on media reform. It invited and received massive retaliation and ended in tears. And now Gillard and Swan are preparing for a showdown with the super-annuation industry...

There is a better way to achieve your aims: Bob Hawke and Paul Keating showed that

there was. And even if Gillard lacks the vision and resources available to those two grand-masters of politics, she could always emulate Howard and finesse things through using cunning and trickery. But it ap-pears that she has decided to go further back in history for her inspiration: to Gough Whitlam and his all or nothing maxim, crash through or crash.

But even here she has missed the point: before Whitlam reached the point of no return, he spent months, even years, in careful preparation; the cul-tivation of allies, the discussion of tactics, painstaking surveys of the battleground. And even then it was a weapon of last resort, only to be used after all other strategies had failed. With Gillard, it appears to be her first and only choice.

It must be some small com-fort to know that her enemies frequently adopt exactly the same approach. Is there any-thing sillier than to read in ]\ constant exhortations to Gil-lard to be more consultative, more ready to listen to abroad range of opinion, more – yes – tolerant of dissent? This, while every other page of the paper is devoted to Rupert Murdoch’s Generalissimo Chris Mitchell’s crusades against union bosses, the Greens, the ABC, the Fair-fax press, public school teach-ers, intellectuals, chardonnay quaffers, latte sippers, political correctness, Julian Assange, Tim Flannery…

But of course, that’s all right. That’s a free press just doing its job. Julia Gillard’s in a quite different position. I mean, it’s not as if Rupert Murdoch and Chris Mitchell are trying to run the country. Well, is it?

Who killed the electric micro-hydro industry? With no doubt it was successive duopoly governments and the

Clean Energy Council (CEC).The real story is that by amending the Environmental Planning

And Assessment Act 1979 and overhauling the CEC, micro-hydro company Pelena Energy might have been saved from bankruptcy.

And given the opportunity to operate under a free market unhindered by regulation, that business could have been the envy of the renewables sector. After all, the north coast’s plateaus have enough small streams to supply free energy.

But as it stands, the fifteen year old Dorrigo based company will soon close its doors and lose five staff due to incomprehensible laws that govern its industry.

It’s perhaps too simplistic to write off the NSW coalition as ‘anti-free energy’; after all, research funding was awarded in 2011 to hydro company Waratah Power. But it’s been two years since $300,000 of our tax money was splashed at Waratah Power, and its website does not indicate tangible outcomes and appears to be still in a ‘research stage’.

Meanwhile Mr Lynch’s Pelena Energy was manufacturing and exporting his technology overseas because he couldn’t do it here.

The only government assistance he received was a grant of $2500 to fund half his website costs while he received no subsidies – claims Mr Lynch – unlike fossil fuel corporations.

Perhaps Waratah Power has more lobbying power and inside connections than Pelena Energy?

Another main factor in Pelena Energy’s failure is the Clean Energy Council’s policy to squeeze hydro and promote solar.

Thankfully legislation can be amended, and all it would take is poiltical courage and a change in CEC policy.

Or even better, the abolition of the CEC. But courage certainly isn’t coming from the National Party which

preside over his electorate. So much for representing regional Australia: Liberal toxicity has

clearly infected the Nats.Incidentally, hyrdo power is nothing new and even provided

Mullum’s electricity at one point. It’s all common knowledge. Why isn’t it national news that a company offering sustainable

energy solutions has been railroaded by bad regulation? The survival of micro-hydro companies like Pelena Energy is

certainly in the public interest. Maybe its demise is not so much a political failure but a failure of collective knowledge and interest.

First choiceMy thanks go out to Mayor Simon Richardson and all at Byron Council for their eff orts to make same sex couples wel-come in the Byron Shire. As a gay man in a relationship of ten years who hopes to one day legally say ‘I DO’, the lo-cal push for marriage equality throughout Australia is greatly appreciated.

However, at this point in time, I’d much rather Coun-cil fi xed the bloody potholed roads properly so ‘I DON’T’ damage my car driving home from work at night.

Bike solutionsA staggering 2,000 school students are enrolled in four schools in Byron Bay, which are within a distance of ap-proximately 2,000m of each other. Th e schools are Byron High, St Finbarr’s, Byron Bay Public and Byron Community Primary school.

Parents are dropping kids off around 9am, picking them up around 3.30pm in large num-bers, getting in and out of town and thus creating part of our traffi c chaos, unintentionally, without much choice. It must be asked, why are we not see-ing more students using push-bikes to and from school? Th e Bangalow Road between the high school and the Brown-ing Street roundabout could be redesigned with slowed-down

traffic and a dedicated bike lane. Imagine: we could have a bicycle friendly road, which encourages parents to send their kids to school on their bikes. A shared footpath does not stack up. Everyone who has used it knows what I mean.

Many car movements could be saved twice each school day at almost peakhour time. Tradies and others who rely on cars for transport would ben-efi t as does the whole commu-nity. Here is one solution for one of our main problems. If you like the idea, please contact me on [email protected].

Use terracesThe Echo chose to omit a cou-ple of sentences from my last letter on coastal erosion. In these sentences I suggested that the area in front of the current rock walls between Main Beach and Th e Wreck be terraced. Just steps of rock of ascending in height fi lled with rubble – as well as removing the spurs, of course.

What I think would happen is that terraces like this would slow down the wave action and allow the waves to deposit their sand over the terraces.

This could be tried at Be-longil as well – there doesn’t seem to be much beach left to encroach on. But what’s hap-pening at Belongil is just a symptom of the disease – the centre of the illness is the rock

works at Main Beach.It would be expensive, I ac-

knowledge. I think to be eff ec-tive the terraces would have to run at a slope of about 30°.

So far our eff orts have been directed at confronting nature in an area that often collec-tively says one should ‘go with the fl ow’. It’s about time this attitude was adopted in regards to beach erosion.

Of course if we decide on the ‘do nothing’ option we will lose not only the beach but a lot of valuable real estate as well.

We paySorry, John Youdan (Letters, March 19), it’s far worse than you think. Your views on the parties and the GSG issue aside, it is not a third entity such as the unions who pay for those full page adverts from sitting members, but we the tax payers!

Hugh ErmacoraByron Bay

Aff ordable housing?Given Cr Woods’s strong sup-port for that proposed mon-strosity opposite Woolies in Mullum and for KFC, is there any kind of development she actually opposes?

Well yes. Looking back through my records I see that in 2009 she voted against my property becoming eligible for Community Title. Simi-larly looking back further I

see that in 1998 fellow right-wingers Ross Tucker and Bob Higgins were the only coun-cillors who voted against the Rural Strategy, which set out parameters for Multiple Occu-pancy and Community Title. Further back still I see that in 1990 the only councillors who voted against my MO appli-cation were three farmer-type rednecks.

It is important to remem-ber here that both Multiple Occupancy and Community Title were explicitly invented to create affordable housing. Yet if you were able to click all references to ‘Aff ordable Hous-ing’ by conservatives over the past twenty years you would see that they invariably refer only to friendly developers be-ing permitted to cram as much development into a given space as possible. You will not fi nd even a solitary instance of a conservative speaking in fa-vour of Multiple Occupancy or Community Title; they simply don’t like this form of develop-ment.

The Rural Strategy had an explicit target of creating 500 new dwellings in rural areas over ten years, ie by 2008. In 2010 I asked Council planning director Ray Darney how many had actually been built and he said ‘about 25’. On February 14 I asked him for an update. His commendably detailed reply unfortunately merely lists the number of ‘potential’ dwell-ings, not the actual number. I conclude from this that Ray

The Mandalay Express is scheduled to leave Yangon from Platform 1 at 3pm, so I arrive two hours early. Every-thing takes longer here. It is hot, and it will only get worse. You sweat just sitting still. In Myanmar, waiting is part of life. Waiting for the bus, wait-ing for the train, waiting for the rain to come. Th ere is already talk about when the monsoon will break, and that isn’t for another two months. And of course, the biggest wait of all is that for the promised open election in 2015. I was catching the Mandalay Express because I wanted to write a piece on Paul Th eroux, who had com-pleted the same journey in 1971 and 2008.

On the platform today, the old man siting opposite me is smoking a cheroot, his feet doubled up on a red plastic chair, his eyes looking off into a contemplative distance. Wom-en, children and monks fi ll the other seats. Across the rest of the platform, small islands of families sprawl out on the cool terrazzo fl oors, reading com-ics and newspapers, eating out of stainless-steel tiffi n boxes, cooling themselves with cheap pink paper fans. Th e Burmese are voracious readers. Most of the people on the platform appear silent and lethargic, relaxed and thoughtful. The piercing sound of a long whin-ing horn belches from the de-parting 1pm train to Pyay. It sounds like a prehistoric ani-mal in pain.

Dangerous pride

Myanmar people are proud and patient. Patient with an army regime that is mocked as being less educated than the people it rules, and fi ercely proud, of their ethnicity and religion, a pride that has the potential to rip Myanmar apart at the seams. Presently, the country is held together by the authoritarian rule of a mil-itary-controlled regime. One of Myanmar’s greatest challenges, if true democracy arrives, will be to overcome the sectarian and ethnic hatred that exists just below the surface in this land of smiles. Aung San Suu Kyi, the ‘Mother’ of modern Myanmar, has been presented to the world as the saviour of modern Myanmar. Even this construct is starting to unravel into a new tangle of rumour and accusations.

I am waiting for the train. A young man comes up and sits next to me. He is chewing betel nut, and has a wide about-to-spit-red smile. He takes the pen from my hand and sprawls his fl ourishing signature across the page of my book with pride. He gives me another betel nut smile, red and salivating; then

spends the next half-hour try-ing to teach me a small part of the Burmese alphabet.

With a new belching of a horn, the Mandalay Express fi nally arrives. Th ere is a gentle and quiet rush of passengers to the gates. On board, the sleep-ing compartment is clean and bright, with crisp white sheets and pillowcases. I am sharing the cabin with an American man, and a Burmese grand-mother and her three-year-old granddaughter. The grand-mother calls for the guard to change compartments, not feeling comfortable to be alone with two foreign men. She is told she has to stay put. With a few nervous smiles we all become friends. The grand-mother and child are quiet. Th e American is loud. He starts to tell me what a great photogra-pher he is. I decide it’s safer just to stare out the window.

Plastic motif

As the train pulls away I see a junkyard of plastic bags lit-tering the tracks, a continuing motif throughout the trip. In the near distance the spires of St Mary’s church rise above the grime and smog of the city; the shanty houses, built of scrap iron and timber, pass by. A nearby concrete apartment-block appears to tilt earth-wards, an anarchic growth of wooden verandahs sprouting from its side. Young girls walk beside the train with crimson umbrellas. The grandmother throws a plastic bag out the window, as though throwing a fl ower to the gods.

Th e train rides the rail with a gentle up and down move-ment, like that of a cantering horse, then breaks into a gal-loping stride. Th e carriages of the train buck and sway, rearing up from the buckled rails be-neath. Th is wild rampage will not let up for the next 16 hours; it’s like a large fat man jumping on the end of your bed, hour aft er hour. What initially is an interesting travel experience becomes a nightmare of sleep-

lessness; a long slow torture, punctuated by brief moments of respite when the train pulls into a stop. Th e grandmother and her granddaughter have no trouble sleeping, curled up against each other.

Passing cinema

Looking out the window of the Mandalay Express is like looking at Indian cinema. The images flash past, one continuous long camera shot: three young women dressed in exquisitely coloured longyi walking across a dusty hot fi eld, adorned with thakata, red lipstick, and hair-ties… a wild bison runs through the dry paddy fi eld, its dust trail pick-ing up the colours of a crum-bling sunset… two women standing at the edge of a track, hands on hips, looking… two men walking along the banked ridges of the paddy fi elds, talk-ing and smoking cheroots… a sheet of electric blue sky intersects with an expanse of spring green land… green paddy fields lay soft against broken wooden fences… pink lilies float in green ponds… the dusk air holds the smell sweating vegetation… a golden pagoda catches the last light of day. Th eroux would have seen similar images. He chose not to write about them.

We pull into Mandalay station early the next morn-ing. I am shattered, as is the American. The grandmother is combing her luxuriant hair, twisting it into a tight bun. Th e child looks at me and smiles

for the fi rst time. In Mandalay, later that

evening, I check for news at a rundown net bar crowded with monks from the nearby monastery. I fi nd reports that at the Letpadaung copper mine angry protesters have mobbed Aung San Suu Kyi. Last year, two thousand acres of farmers’ land was illegally confi scated for the mine, and in recent demonstrations, doz-ens of monks were severely burned by phosphorus smoke grenades used by riot police. At this latest protest, the farm-ers stared in disbelief as their ‘Mother’ told them that they must stop protesting, that they must respect Chinese foreign investment, that this was the new Burma, that they must un-derstand this. Th is new style of diplomacy by Aung San Suu Kyi marks the end of an era, and the beginning of anoth-er wait to see what will hap-pen. Th e monk who has been looking over my shoulder po-litely says, ‘One thing doesn’t change. Th e poor stay poor.’

Th e coming of the monsoon will be a relief. I wish Th eroux could be here, waiting with me. We could sit in the teahouse, or the bar, being cynical and misanthropic, and then we could talk about all the beauti-ful things in life.

Finding the balance at the dawn of Aquarius

One day in 1972 two men appeared in Burringbar looking for a site to hold

a festival. It was to be a large, live-in, lifestyle celebration where people could also buy land and stay on aft er it had ended. Th ey thought that ‘Th e Avenell’, a property near the village of Burringbar, might be just the very spot.

We greeted the idea with horror. We were country bumpkins by then, initiated into the existing Burringbar tribe by Jack Shackell, a born and bred local, who seemed as if he’d been waiting his whole life for us to appear. One thing that made us wary of the whole idea was that we’d already wit-nessed carloads of city visi-tors, on the hunt for magic mushrooms, trespassing over our neighbour’s paddocks. We were just as appalled as the farmers were. Th ese invaders had no respect.

Months later we heard that the organisers had decided to ‘recycle’ the town of Nimbin. Th ey put the idea to the old settlers at a town meeting. For sure a hippy invasion would boost the town’s fi nances but it would also introduce a more complex values clash, and the quiet, peaceful old town would never be the same. Th e towns-people thought, fought, talked and fi nally voted ‘yes’.

A friend, aft er checking out the festival preparations, came back and urged us to overcome our initial prejudices. So we ventured over to explore the scene. Th e preparations were fascinating to watch because they showed so well the way that people can divide into two groups – the ‘doers’ and the ‘cosmics’.

The ‘doers’, full of self-im-portance and urgency, rushed about with manic energy, call-ing meetings, making phone calls, exhausting themselves and losing their voices. ‘We’ve got to make it happen’ was their constant mantra.

Th e ‘cosmics’ lounged naked by the creeks all day, swim-ming and plaiting willow bas-kets and then played music at night around the camp fi res. Th ey were sensitive and slow, with no thought of organis-

ing anything. ‘It’ll just happen, man’ was their mantra, as a joint was passed along.

We ‘old’ new settlers fi nally decided that the best way for us to join in the festival was to be a little bit apart from it. Nicky Shand, from Coopers Lane, and I found a secluded spot, enclosed by the creek, just over the road from the site, and arranged to rent it from the owner during the festival.

This place and our tribe became known as ‘The

Magic Circle’. My ridgepole tent was built from upholsterer’s plastic and bamboo. Old carpet was the fl oor and sarongs were the walls. With cushions, dolls and candleholders installed my family soon had a cosy new abode. With pens for the chooks and Matilda our goat, a cubby house for the children and with friends all around, it was a home that, at the time, I liked better than my rented Upper Burringbar farmhouse.

When the festival started I rushed to learn how to use one of the cameras that Bush Video was handing out on loan. Looking for something

to focus on, I found a French high-wire walker and juggler called Phillipe Petit. His fes-tival house was in a tree, ac-cessed only by rope. He got around on a unicycle and jug-gled fl aming clubs while walk-ing a wire stretched between the pub and the Tomato Sauce building. Th e audience would gasp when he pretended to slip and then sigh with relief when he was balanced again. ‘Why do you do it?’ I asked.

‘Because when I am up there I am totally alive,’ he answered. ‘If someone can balance on two legs of a chair, then I want to balance on one.’

I didn’t know it then but he was planning a high-wire

walk between the northern pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

At the end of the festival, and in on the plan, I packed the kids in the car and followed Phillipe to Sydney to watch the pylon crossing. Erected with extreme secrecy in the dead of night he set off across the wire in the morning. He was still on the wire when the cops arrived and, unbelievably, they thought shaking his stay ropes would get him to come in. Lucky to make it back alive, he was ar-rested and fi ned, but headed all of the news bulletins. Ashton’s Circus happened to be in town and straightaway they paid his fi ne. In return Phillipe off ered them a performance. Watching a blindfolded Phillipe, juggling fi resticks while perched on an impossibly balanced chair on a high-wire above a hungry pack of lions, Doug Ashton wept with admiration.

Apart from Phillipe’s amaz-ing performances I have two other enduring memories from that time at the festival. Th e fi rst was of lying in bed one night, listening to the vivid music of funky African jazz pianist Dollar Brand, which carried all the way from the open air stage, and thinking ‘I could wish for no more than this, ever again.’

The other was of holding hands as part of a group of hundreds of people, winding our way through the festival fi elds like a rainbow serpent, and singing:

‘May the long-time sunShine upon you,All love, surround you,And the pure light, within youGuide your way home.’

It was more than a celebra-tion of a lifestyle. It was a state-ment of hope that this spiri-tual energy would fi nd its way home. It was a wish from many hearts and a song taken up by many voices.

Th e Nimbin Aquarius Festi-val had been an extraordinary event.

‘It was the vision, the organ-isation, and hard work that made it happen,’ boasted the doers.

‘It happened, man, just like we said it would,’ agreed the cosmics.

Pat (now Anjali) Walsh still lives happily in the north coast with her children and grand-children close by. Unfortu-nately her videos of the festival have not survived.

Good posture, last longerGood posture is a natural aspect of our being that is obvious to anyone with the eyes to see. We assess each other by beauty and posture without the need to be taught. This knowledge seems to be innate and we do this often, without being conscious of it, yet it helps us form an impression of whomever we meet.

Chiropractors are trained to do ‘postural assessment’ as a fi rst step in understanding and predicting where problems arise in the body. We look at how you stand and how you move. X-ray analysis indicates where you are wearing out and we can predict, from the shape of your spine, where your structure will fail.

If you are experiencing pain then something has failed. The practitioners from Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre can assist your body to recover by doing an adjustment and correcting the alignment.

If you want your body to perform well, spreading the load evenly throughout your structure, gaining relief from those chronic problems and optimising your health, then they can help by restoring your natural upright posture.

For re-alignment, postural restoration, health optimisation in yourself, your family members and staff join them in their mission of life enhancement at Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre.

O3 Zone beauty and oxygen spa If you’ve not had a facial treatment before or are well overdue for one, you’re missing out on the many great benefi ts it can offer. A facial treatment is primarily about improving and protecting the look, feel and health of your skin. But there are also a great number of other reasons why you should book a facial treatment, like the many thousands of Australians do each and every year.

Better looking skin – most of us have skin concerns, whether it’s to minimise the effects of ageing, acne, pigmentation, rosacea, sun damage and the likes. Regular facial treatments can be extremely benefi cial for all skin concerns, no matter your age.

Taking time for yourself – whether it’s for a special occasion or just a moment to unwind a facial treatment provides you with a little bit of calmness in this busy world.

Feeling more relaxed – the benefi ts of a facial treatment can last well beyond your visit to a spa.

Skin that feels better – if your skin suffers from lack of attention, some TLC will make it feel nourished and radiant.

Improved confi dence – having clearer, brighter and healthier looking skin can help put a real spring in your step. Take the fi rst step to healthier, happier skin and book in for one of our fantastic and quality facials today.

is too shy to admit that in practice the Rural Strategy has turned out, for some reason, to be a total dud, delivering less than ten per cent of its target.

I said ‘for some reason’. It could be because of the way the staff have sought to apply it, making the process onerous and expensive, or it could be because of inherent defects in the strategy itself. Why don’t we know? Because the in-tended fi ve-year review of the strategy, due in 2003, never took place; there is no public feedback on the record.

I discovered to my horror just last week that Ray Darney currently intends to incorpo-rate aspects of the strategy, unexamined defects and all, into the new LEP. Imagine my anger at discovering last week that my property is not listed as eligible for CT. Imagine my humiliation at discovering that Ray Darney had had me in his offi ce to discuss my property but didn’t tell me.

Urgent legal action is inevi-table.

Global warningsRe letters from Sapoty Brook and Nina Bishop (Echo, March 26). Don’t assume that global warming ‘sceptics’ are not environmentalists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sceptics are not about to follow a dangled carrot or

be whipped by the stick of cli-mate change fear by a bunch of bankers and industrialists all wearing green masks.

By all means we must care for clean air, water and soil for ourselves and future gen-erations. But altruistic, well intentioned environmental-ists are being used as sock-puppets for the hidden agenda of control freaks in the United Nations.

There has been no global warming for the past 17 years, and that’s offi cial.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant. It is a natural-ly occurring trace gas in our atmosphere. It is often con-fused with carbon monoxide which defi nitely is a pollutant (a product of internal com-bustion engines in the main), which has been regulated un-der the clean air act for some decades.

CO2 is as essential for plant life as oxygen is for animal life on our planet. Every ani-mal exhales CO2. Without CO2 there would be no life on earth.

Humans exhale CO2 at a rate of 40,000 ppm. Th e aver-age person exhales 2.5 pounds of CO2 a day, or about 2,000 litres of pure CO2 at normal atmospheric pressure, enough to sustain 15 square metres of garden plants. (If you can’t hang around exhaling over your garden all day a small cow or a goat would do.) All plants emit oxygen in ex-

change for CO2.Climate change alarmists

need to apprise themselves of how they are being used, the ultimate goal being to take away the sovereignty of local governments, take away prop-erty rights of average citizens via redevelopment and rezon-ing, and to increase govern-ment control over our lives.

Th e ultimate plan is for all communities to live in high-density, high-rise buildings and the surrounding country-side returned to nature, off -limits to all humans. Private property ownership is clas-sified ‘unsustainable’ under Agenda 21. Your children and grandchildren will be able to view surrounding nature ar-eas from the top storey of a building but that is as far as they will ever be able to get to communing with nature.

Th e opposite of ‘ sceptical’ is ‘gullible’.

Peggy BalfourMullumbimby

Th anks to Sapoty Brook for reminding us of the official narrative of global warming with its impending global ca-tastrophe based as it is on ob-served facts.

One observed fact notably absent from this narrative is the sun’s contribution. As the CSIRO points out on its web-site around the year 1500 there occurred what is referred to as the Little Ice Age, a time when there was a low intensity of sun

spot activity and rivers like the Th ames froze over.

We are now in a period of high sunspot activity; how-ever, in support of the offi cial narrative, they say this could not possibly explain the cur-rent warming and use carbon as the culprit. Around the year AD1000 research shows there occurred what is referred to as the Medieval Warm Period, which also coincided with a period of high sunspot activ-ity. Th e ensuing high tempera-tures were no doubt caused by turbocharged chariots pulled by fl atulent horses.

Th e taxi rankTh e taxi rank in Byron Bay is, I hazard to say, substandard. However, please do not move it; just make it presentable.

Make it all six spots of the rank 24/7, change signs above it, partly fence it off , paint the ground in a different colour and have a ranger occasion-ally patrolling for the biggest issue we all try to resolve – pri-vate cars parked on the rank. A bit of discipline would be welcomed in this 21st century paradise, yet it is pretty chaotic at times. On my and on be-half of frustrated night drivers, happy motoring and be safe!

Media mind controlCall me paranoid but I think we have just witnessed an ex-

ercise in mass mind control of truly Orwellian propor-tions. Th e media moguls, their hacks, and their accomplices – the opinion pollsters – have together done an amazing hatchet job on the Gillard gov-ernment, virtually destroying its election chances, and have made it seem to be all Labor’s own doing!

Th e slavering journalists and the pollsters, aided and abet-ted by the federal coalition, ensured the Rudd Revival Campaign stayed alive and dis-tracting throughout all of Julia Gillard’s term. Th ey gave limit-less oxygen to Rudd’s ‘camp’, encouraging its existence, en-suring it grew in number, and endlessly speculating and poll-ing about the timing, possibil-ity, and desirability of a Rudd takeover. They assiduously fanned the fl ames to exploit the possibility of a challenge, thus making it more likely as more and more Labor backbench-ers got spooked. Self-fulfi lling prophecy.

So isn’t the shock, amaze-ment and ridicule expressed by these media commentators and politicians over the leader-ship spill just a tad disingenu-ous? How else could this fes-tering issue, that they’d helped create and feed, be made to fi -nally go away? Th e leadership spill was the only way, and the prime minister should have been congratulated, not con-demned, for putting it to rest, fi nally.

If indeed it is ‘fi nally’.Rudd is now probably si-

lenced, but the jackals of the media, having smelled blood, will probably keep scrutinis-ing every move Julia makes, cut her no slack, give no credit for her government’s very sig-nificant achievements, and keep portraying Labor in a negative light – driving voters relentlessly into the arms of an Abbott-led motley crew.

If you needed any further evidß∑ence of the rampant media bias in Australia, the demise of Ted Baillieu and Terry Mills, two conservative leaders who were knifed with-in one week, barely raised an eyebrow in the media. Hard-ly a word written or spoken about ‘faceless men’. Contrast it to the way Gillard and the ALP and its ‘faceless men’ are still being mercilessly caned in the media three years aft er she politely asked K Rudd for his job. Her legitimacy is still being questioned today!

As a rusted-on Labor sup-porter, I’ll probably be emi-grating in disgust after Sep-tember 14. My only advice to my beloved country and to the sheep who vote is not to follow the herd instinct and don’t all vote together to get rid of fed-eral Labor.

The people of Queensland are stuck with Campbell New-man for at least two or three terms because Queenslanders rushed like lemmings over a cliff, giving him a thumping majority. A lean government is generally a good government.

SYDNEY BORN, LA BASED SINGER/SONGWRITER AND RECORDING ARTIST BEN LEE IS NO STRANGER TO THE ART OF MUSIC MAKING FROM HIS FIRST BAND AT 13, NOISE ADDICT, TO THE MULTI-ARIA AWARD WINNING RECORD AWAKE IS THE NEW SLEEP, BEN LEE CHANGED THE FACE OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA. AS MUCH AS HE HAS BEEN DRAWN TO MUSIC ALL HIS LIFE, BEN HAS BEEN EQUALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT ESOTERIC SCIENCE – THE WORKINGS OF THE HUMAN MIND AND SPIRIT. HIS FORTHCOMING RELEASE AYAHUASCA: WELCOME TO THE WORK MAY BE LEE’S MOST WILFUL, CREATIVE AND HONEST WORK YET.

Lee has long been attracted to esoteric circles; he’s one pop culture prince with a diff erence. Lee seeks meaning, in all its Technicolor complexity. His most recent adventure involved travelling to South America, where he participated in the Ayahuasca ceremony, the experience spurring his latest release.

‘I have always had a very spiritually uncompromising attitude in terms of my approach,’ says Lee

‘I had a teacher who said the spiritual path is better suited to the thief because the thief has the hunger to do the crime. I have always had the hunger for it, whether it’s creatively jumping into a career at 14 or going to India. When I heard people’s testimonies about the ayahuasca experience I became curious.’

So how did Lee go about procuring such an experience?

‘I think it’s usually a case that when the student is ready the teacher appears – you fi rst put the intention out there with seriousness, whether conversations with friends, or goolgling, you open yourself to information that opens yourself to the experience in your life.’

The truth isn’t always sweet and fl uff y and nice. Lee believes that if one is to follow the spiritual path then one needs to take action.

‘Part of the reason I called the album Welcome to the Work was because I wanted to make a defi nitive line in the sand between people interested in kicks and that there might be a degree of frivolity that someone might approach ayahuasca with. I am interested in ego annihilation and ways to highlight things to ourselves that might remain otherwise hidden to ourselves. In that realm it’s a potent ally – some people are perhaps too literal though about what is the truth in an Ayahuasca fantasy.

‘The experience is not for everyone. It’s a very brutal awakening. The medicine rips off the band-aid; it doesn’t coddle you in anyway.’

For Lee this suited him down to the ground.

‘I have that personality where I like intense things. I don’t think it’s a better or worse a path than someone who likes things gently; it’s a fl avour of inner work.’

So what was the key spiritual messages for Lee?

‘We are at a time where we can’t over emphasise the seriousness of the work to be done. There is no time for lolly gagging. We need to go into the deep causes of our problem – we have to refl ect on our inner nature, and we have to deal

with nature as a whole and our place in it.

‘It’s funny there is a truth in our powerlessness. It’s not honest to see as anything other than that. Nature is full of beauty. We need to start seeing that with being part of nature comes duty, we are reluctant – we are defi nitely a species with an ego capable of being outwardly expressed to the detriment of the planet. But we can also fi x the problem. We need to learn to live in alignment with nature and stop pillaging and plundering it.’

In keeping with the philosophy of his work, Ben will be donating 100 per cent of the album’s artist royalties to charity as a way of keeping the album’s release in alignment with the healing nature of the medicine itself. An organisation that Ben feels a deep affi nity with around the issue of consciousness based research is the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofi t research and educational organisation where Lee is donating half of his royalty income from Ayahuasca. The other half will go towards the Amazon conservation team.

Friday & Saturday – Byron Community Theatre, Byron Bay with Darpan and Friends, Appleonia, Avasa & Matty Love, Nadav. Tickets $35 + bf from http://www.spiritfestival.com.au/benlee.

GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES…Byron Music Society presents the Strelitzia Trio, an exciting Sydney based group with violin, cello and piano. They will perform a mix of old and new music at their concert at Byron Community Centre, this Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets online at www.byroncentre.com.au, Mary Ryan Bookshop, Mullum Bookshop or at the door.

WOMEN OF THE VALLEYWomen of the Valley was a special one off project in May 2012 that brought together Lil’ Fi, Sue McKenna, Jo Satori and Nick Hanlon to perform as part of the Songwriters on the Songlines concerts at the Uki Church. It was a spontaneous collaboration and celebration of four very diff erent musicians and their journeys through music. The show sold out and magical music was created to much acclaim. Now they are back together again with an inaugural annual initiative. A concert that is solely a fundraiser for other Women of the Valley who are in need of some community support. This time around some more talented local female musicians and friends are along for the ride. One hundred per cent of the monies raised at the door will go towards prominent community activist Sue McKenna, and other local women who need some fi nancial support in the purchase of alternative treatments for breast cancer recovery. Lil’ Fi needs no introduction. She is simply put the most prominent female retro blues singer in Australia. Andrea Soler is the sunshine to Lil’ Fi’s moonshine, and a star on the rise both here and overseas. Her award winning voice is like warm honey; when she sings the sun bursts through the clouds. Andrea Soler could warm up a glacier. With her world music roots and wonderful french ancestry worn playfully on her sleeve, Andrea Soler has an engaging ‘waifi shness and childish whimsy’ (NREcho) that is winning them over wherever this migratory songbird goes. Sue McKenna is a musician, songwriter, performer with Mantlepeace, Imandan, Channelfree and the Rainbow Roots Roadshow. Her earthy connected-to-spirit style has garnered much respect and joy in the Valley and beyond. Jo Satori was on stage before she was born and sang before she could speak. This Dolphin award winning songstress has a powerful and expressive voice reminiscent of the great singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf. Nick Hanlon has toured the world extensively as a singer and instrumentalist with various rootsy bands. Azrai sounds as if the love child of Melanie Safka was raised in the London squats of the late punk era. Her songs have a simple elegance, an innocent quality, with just a hint of the London ska, just a hint of the dub. Her songs are little anthems and notorious earworms. Elder Raine will transport you to another age of timeless female wisdom, sung in the style of the wise woman with a harp. Elder Raine’s style is as ancient as the trees. She will open the show at 7.30, and will then be followed by the collaboration that is The Women of the Valley.

7.30pm Saturday at the Uki Hall. Tix $25/20 on the door. Doors open 7pm. Cakes and chai available.

WILD FLAMENCOBandaluzia is an acclaimed Sydney based contemporary fl amenco ensemble formed in early 2010. They present the essence of contemporary fl amenco in a truly mesmerising display of explosive dance, virtuosic guitars, dynamic improvisation, masterful percussion, and inspiring bass; embodying the passion, mystery and power of this remarkable art form. All members are well known in the Australian Arts community with extensive performing, recording and touring nationally and internationally. The lineup at Bangalow will feature: Damian Wright (fl amenco guitar), Jessica Statham (fl amenco dance),

Steve Hunter (bass), James Hauptmann (percussion) plus guest fl amenco guitarist Manuel Cazas from Spain and guest fl amenco dancer Rosalie Cocchiaro. Catch them at Bangalow Catholic Hall this Friday.

Tix: $20 (+bf) / $25 on the door or through www.kupromotions.com.au. Doors 7.30pm / show 8pm. Food by Open Table.

THE JONES FACTORI have always been in awe of the music of Vince Jones. I remember the fi rst time I heard his trademark voice and I argued for hours over whether it was a man or a woman. His voice has that otherworldly quality that has seen him at the top of his game for nearly four decades. Vince Jones is the best jazz singer in the country. Although he doesn’t see himself quite like that. Vince doesn’t even see himself as a jazz singer.

‘I wouldn’t even call myself a jazz singer although I can… I went into the ‘feel’ side of jazz: I like to impart a feeling to the individual listener. I like to take the opportunity of fi nding some way of expressing the lyric and the melody. I like the pure kind of emotion in a song. There aren’t many singers that think that way; usually they are just looking for the energy of it. I am doing both. It’s something you get better at. I don’t sit down and premeditate the emotion; I try to get inside it. I don’t practise singing emotion; I try and let the moment go and get inside the lyric of the song. I have good technique and it’s getting better as I get older. It is becoming a facility rather than an overbearing approach. When I sing a note you can hear there’s more in there.’

With age, Vince has learnt the truth in the adage that less is more.

Vince has an ascetic approach to his craft, where music is both the ends and the means. He has never milked the corporate cow.

‘I fi nd music sacred. I don’t think we should demoralise or denigrate it in any way. I don’t do any corporate work or ads and I don’t do any gigs other than public gigs; no private gigs; I have a purely public band. I don’t stick to success or fame; my ambition was and still is to play music that will wash over people and nourish them. I don’t want it to be about me. The rock industry is about marketing the artist and

music through that. My approach was an experiment to see what would happen and I have to say it’s not that successful!’ One of Australia’s great jazz legends, at the Byron Theatre at the Community Centre on Sunday at 7.30pm. Bookings www.byroncentre.com.au or 6685 6807.

SPEAKER SESSIONSThis Thursday at the Byron Brewery Mr Speaker Presents Freestyle Sessions. A melting pot for the northern rivers freshest up and comers, from hip hop to funk, dub, electro and groove. The Freestyle Sessions allows artists with similar work and interests to collaborate, create, demonstrate, and educate, themselves and other people about the culture of music, art and its culture. 7pm.

TAMWAH BOOMTamwah infuses the BOOM BAP of world class hip hop beats with neo-soul songbird trills, dope rhymes and the alegria (Joy) of Afro-Brazilian rhythms.

Growing up in Australia with the sounds of Sergio Mendes, Baden Powell and Astrud Gilberto spinning on her parent’s record player sparked a deep love aff air with Brazil for Tamwah. In the summer of 2008, Tamwah jumped on a

big bird armed with her trumpet, broken heart and a dream; to experience and make music.

Her dream came true with a necklace of songs inspired by her immersion into the landscape and culture. Friday 7.30pm at the Brewery. Free entry.

KNOX KNOXHe’s been called the Fijian Jack Johnson. In a recent review in The Dome, they raved: ‘he’s a special treat; a man I had never heard of prior, but who is sure to live on in my memory once Hades lays his claim… His voice is powerful, gravelly, and all here, there, and everywhere all at once.’

Knox serves up his signature sound.

SONICANIMATIONOver the years the infamous gigantic furry Technotubbies have graced the stages at Big Day Out and appeared alongside the likes of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy Slim and Basement Jaxx. Having just performed at 2012’s Homebake, pioneers of Australian electronica, Sonicanimation are heading out on tour. A reputation for energetic and frenetic live shows complete with dancing Technotubbies on stage, Sonicanimation will be busting out tracks from their forthcoming album Once More From The Bottom. Their fi rst full length off ering since 2006, the longplayer is a mish mash of breaks, guitar and fat synths.

The album was recorded at Reiji Studios, Rossland, Canada and features the fi rst single I Will Be Twisted. A classic breakup story – the illustrious search for ‘the one’ – the breakup that leaves you realising your total inexperience with the world of dating and the happiness found upon giving up the search.

$20 on the door, Thursday, at the Hotel Great Northern.

KEEPING A RUFUS OVER YOUR HEADYoung Sydney 3-piece RÜFÜS are making waves both locally and internationally with their electronic dance fl oor driven pop melodies. Since their inception in the hills of sunny

Byron Bay mid 2010 the guys have been busy pumping out track after track – with remixes, plenty of originals and a few cheeky bootlegs.

Locally their impressive aural live show has seen them gathering a cult following with crowds of up to 600 attending sold out

shows in Sydney. The guys are part of a group of new school indie dance crossover acts that are as at home in a club as they are in an intimate live venue.

It’s their crossover ability that has seen them appear alongside acts as diverse as Infusion, New Navy, Strange Talk, Bon Chat Bon Rat and Mitzi. Hotel Great Northern on Sunday.

PAPA PILKO & THE BIN RATSPapa Pilko & The Binrats came together in the later part of November 2011, merging all their infl uences to form the vast sound that exists today. Blending juke joint blues with the sounds of New Orleans and drawing from such stage performers as Cab Calloway, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Jim Morrison and Bon Scott to name a few suggests a live show that will have any audience wanting more. Thursday at the Beach Hotel. 9.30pm.

BLACKBIRD HUMFormed in honour of the ocean and Earth, these gentlemen create sound stories; weaving the elements and the everyday. Using trumpets and saxophones, an assortment of guitars, keyboards, synths and drums – the resulting soundscapes shift between dreamy, dolce, dry and dark.

Following a tumultuous 12 months of writing, recording, rewriting

and rerecording, the result is music with innocence, poignancy, and beauty – like somehow all could be resolved within the corridors of their melodies. Friday at the Beach Hotel. 9.30pm.

CARAVAÑA SUNSince 2009, Caravaña Sun have built a reputation for fi st pumping, personality fi lled live shows. Blending natural soulful lyrics with bouncing ‘gypsy ska’ grooves, they’ve introduced even the most conservative crowds to the dance fl oor.

Based on and inspired by the Cronulla coastline, Caravãna Sun launched their debut album Rising Falling at Bondi’s

infamous Beach Road Hotel in October 2011. The independent release featuring single Feel Better, established solid roots with their previously underground fanbase and new fans began popping up like fl ashmobs over the east and west coasts of Australia on their subsequent tours. Sunday at the Beach Hotel from 4.30pm.

unconventional folk music’ (Rootstime, Belgium) and ‘surprisingly original for the blues/folk genre’ ( Music News, Australia).

Solo performances feature eff ect pedal driven acoustic guitar, bottleneck slide resonator guitar and melodic fi ngerpicking in open tunings coupled with soulful vocals. His music strives to add a fresh footprint onto the sands of contemporary guitar music. Tuesday at the Rails.

MR BLUEGRASS John Hartford once said that Mike Compton knows more about Bill Monroe style mandolin than the Father of Bluegrass himself.

Mike Compton was born in 1956 in Jimmie Rodgers’s hometown of Meridian Mississippi. His great-grandfather was a fi ddler. Mike was exposed to old-time music at an early age and received his fi rst mandolin at the age of 15. He moved to Nashville in 1977 and worked for the next three and a half years with North Carolina legendary banjoist, Hubert Davis and the Season Travelers. He recorded on three of

the group’s records. In 1985 he was recruited by Pat Enright for the Nashville Bluegrass Band, and during Compton’s initial stint in the group, 1985–1988, he appeared on the four albums that fi rst brought the band to prominence. After a year working in the Catskill Mountains, Mike returned to Nashville and began working for John Hartford, which he did up until John’s death in 2001. True blue bluegrass at the Rails on Sunday.

Ripe presents

Have you ever felt that you were missing out? That just around the corner other people are doing more exciting things, making more money, hanging out with better friends? Well, they are, and somehow you have to fi nd a way to make peace with yourself.

It’s a strange feeling. I’ve had it since I was a kid. It’s called FOMO. Fear of missing out. I don’t think it was just a fear for me. It was a reality. I was born missing out. I grew up in a housing commission house with a violent alcoholic father who eventually died and left us broke and me fatherless.

Everything would have been okay if I hadn’t gone to Karen Preston’s house and discovered that not all families were like mine. Her parents were bookish intellectuals who played Scrabble and Mahjong and Karen had a Barbie house and Barbie car and the Barbie camper van. Her room was pink. And she had 10 Barbies. And she had all the barbie clothes. And two Kens.

I didn’t even have one Barbie doll. Mum felt guilty and bought me a cheaper feminist copy called ‘Jenny’. She was supposed to be some sort of Nordic Air Hostess. She had long thick tanned legs, a thick waist, small tits, short hair and wore fl at

shoes. Great. I was the only kid in my street with lesbian Barbie. Why couldn’t I have a big boobed Barbie?

I was obsessed with missing out. I never wanted to go to bed. I knew that if I went to bed that I would miss out on all the stuff that was happening in the adult world. Adults want you to go to bed so they can do the interesting stuff . Like smoke cigarettes and get drunk. And watch The Box. All I wanted to do when I was six years old was sit up with Mum and watch The Box – a 1970s Aussie sex romp. There was even nudity and swearing. Mum thought it was ‘inappropriate’, which was ironic because as it turns out coarse language and sexual innuendo is what I do for a living. But, like Barbie, I missed out on that too.

I have FOMO bad. I spend far too much time worrying about what other people are doing. And why I’m not doing it too. Or why they didn’t ask me. Even if they don’t know me I take it personally. Facebook is torture. It’s a rolling reminder that everyone else is having a lot more fun than I am. Which is silly, because they’re clearly all at home sitting in their underpants in front of the computer too.

I fi nd that FOMO really wrecks my ability to enjoy things. Especially festivals. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a festival without being plagued by this anxiety that the show I’m standing in isn’t as good as the one in the next tent. So I give it fi ve minutes. Maybe ten. Then I start panicking. What am I missing? Why do people keep leaving? Is there something better on somewhere else?

I once surreptitiously followed this very groovy young couple because they looked so cool like they’d never missed out on a thing except a good kick up the arse for being such pretentious wankers. Anyway I ended up at the port-a-loo.

So I spend most of my time at festivals on the outside of the tent listening to a few songs and then bolting across the fi eld to catch the end of something else. Then someone will say, ‘Oh did you see Santana? He was brilliant.’ And I did see him. But I didn’t stay for the encore because I was worried it wasn’t the best. Which is stupid because it’s Santana and I’ll probably never get a chance to see Santana again.

I have done this at every festival I’ve ever been at. I think I’ve virtually missed every amazing moment because I was in transit trying to fi nd a better moment. So this year I’ve decided to commit. I’m going to pick an act and stick it out, even in the bits when you think ‘I don’t know that song, it’s a bit shit,’ because the next song could be great. I’m going to miss out on something else so I can enjoy the thing I’ve got. I’ve also decided to use that same philosophy when it comes to men. Although that fellow over there looks nice…

WITH LILITH

The planetary quadrella of Sun, Mars, Venus and

Uranus in Aries lights this week with divine fi re – plus a plethora

of confrontational, competitive, strong willed, hot headed

citizens…

StarsARIES: As April’s Festival of Aries kick starts the premier love month of your year, Mars and Venus cozying up in Aries proff er a cornucopia of opportunities for all kinds of the L word. So turn up your thermostat and start behaving like this week’s love machines…

TAURUS: Once the Tauran mind’s made up, that’s usually it for all time. But be prepared to change your mind – and keep doing it – as this week’s tunnel vision morphs into broader, more panoramic perspectives to encompass the quantum growth spurt already percolating away, calling you to get on board.

GEMINI: This week off ers the possibility of a Giant Leap Forward, so long as you don’t get distracted by (Ooh look!) yet another ingenious idea or (Oh wow!) delicious mischief. If you’re able to stay focussed on one primary goal for the next three weeks, you’ll achieve wonders.

CANCER: While March seemed like Ground Hog Day, with reps of recurring behaviour, replays of familiar scenarios, déjà vu communications and blasts from the past, it gave you the opportunity to review unfi nished business. Now this week connects you with people in synch with your new, improved trajectory.

LEO: This week’s zesty celestial cocktail off ers a juicy boost of exuberant entertainment, exploration or education, though others could disappoint if you expect too much of them. Defi nitely avoid people, substances or situations that make you irritable and cranky - instead think massages, comfort food, entertaining friends, retail treats.

VIRGO: After the widespread tiredness from recent collective emotional overwhelm, this week’s welcome surge of planetary chi revitalizes brains, adrenals and muscular systems to physically fortify your core strength and resolve… and suddenly look who’s the Energizer Bunny! Welcome back to planet Earth and the human family, Virgos.

LIBRA: April’s emphasis in your house of dealing with the public and improving understanding with others off ers plenty of scope for putting into action whatever you’ve been mulling over in recent refl ective weeks. And if your love life’s been a tad jaded, this week could reignite the fl ame.

SCORPIO: Your lessons on the growth road presently involve working with others, not easy with volatile Mars and Uranus creating workplace turbulence. A combination of art, craft, strategy, timing, negotiation and compromise may achieve what you want, but if they don’t there’s always another day to get your way…

SAGITTARIUS: This enterprising week of passionate dissatisfaction with what’s not working activates huge enthusiasm to fi nd what will.Pushiness will evoke opposition, asking for help may be more successful. And as philosopher Henry David Thoreau noted, it’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see…

CAPRICORN: While April’s unruly citizens may throw wobblies and spin out, aff ection will still move things along more smoothly this week than an unrelenting attitude. It’s okay to show your soft side. Really - others love it. Since people appreciate hearing that you care, why be shy?

AQUARIUS: April’s the zodiac month of relationship reassessment, when old ways of functioning no longer satisfy and new beginnings appeal. If this week rewrites the personal terms and economic conditions of a partnership what to do? Talk it through, because the likelihood of an exciting turnaround is strong.

PISCES: According to care giver Joy Golliver the meaning of life is to fi nd your gift, after which the purpose of life is to give it away. March refi ned the search engines, now April announces that whatever you thought you couldn’t do, this week you’ll fi nd you can.

Last week’s solution

PIANIST AND SINGER JAN PRESTON IS A BOOGIE AND RAGTIME PIANO PLAYER WITH A PERSONALITY THAT HAS MADE HER A HIT WITH AUDIENCES AROUND THE COUNTRY. SHE COMES TO MULLUMBIMBY THIS WEEKEND TO PUT THE BOOGIE BACK INTO YOUR BOOGIE.

Jan, how would you describe your relationship with music? I’ve had a lifelong obsession with pianos and piano music.

What is it about boogie and ragtime that entices you? I am transformed by the physically hypnotic groove I can create playing boogie piano and singing.

How do you shake that much sound out of one humble piano? I hit the keys hard, and my left hand rhythm drives everything. I give the piano a workout.

Do piano’s always submit to you? What’s your favourite? Are you a baby grand girl? Some people pick up stray cats, I pick up pianos. I just fi nd them, or maybe they fi nd me. They’re people to me; each one has its own personality. I’m hopeless with names, but show me a piano I’ve met and I’ll know when and where we were introduced.

At one time I had seven pianos in my house. I dream of opening Preston’s Retirement Home for Old Pianos.

How do you go about writing songs? Sometimes I start with words, sometimes with a groove. It can come quickly and other times it’s laborious.

I listen to the greatest boogie piano players and singers every day.

What do you aim to give in your live performances? I aim to involve, entertain and uplift both my own spirit and that of the crowd. I am constantly humbled by my audiences’ feedback. People are often enduring diffi cult situations in their lives, and my music lightens the load for them.

Tell me a little about composing for fi lm/TV – do they send you the briefs? I don’t compose for fi lms much anymore; too busy touring and performing live which I prefer, although hearing my Theme to Australian Story on ABC TV every Monday night was a blast.

What should we expect for your local show? People should expect to be entertained and enlivened by my piano playing, singing and humorous anecdotes.

My show presents a contemporary original bent on the longstanding boogie woogie piano tradition, poignant at times, but mostly action packed and energetic.

Ku promotions presents Jan on Sunday at Mullumbimby Civic Hall. 3pm. Tickets $20 pre or $25 at the door.

cinema review

THIS WEEK OUR ‘NORMAL’ FILM CRITIC JOHN CAMPBELL IS DISPORTING HIMSELF IN SRI LANKA AS SOLACE AFTER WITNESSING THE AUSTRALIAN XI IMPLODE IN INDIA. IN HIS ABSENCE WE BRING PRÉCISES OF A COUPLE OF THE LATEST FLICKS:

The CroodsDreamworks Animation is responsible for some excellent work, including Shrek and How To Train Your Dragon. The Croods may not be in that league but it off ers the family a pleasant and generally intelligent outing. There is some fi rst rate voice work by Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Cloris Leachman, to name a view. There’s this prehistoric family, see, led by overprotective father Grug (Cage), who believes that ‘new things’ threaten the family’s survival. (The script is being tongue in cheek, but why do ‘cave people’ have monosyllabic names such as Grug, Eep and Thunk?) The daughter Eep runs into a clever boy, Guy, who has discovered fi re (as you do) and the dad’s complacency has to change forever when the the family cave is wrecked by an earthquake. It’s about learning to adapt and evolve, a salutary lesson for modern humans with two syllables and hyphens in their names. Not everyone loves the fi lm but it rates a reasonable 67 per cent on the Tomatometer (rottentomatoes.com), and Metacritic (metacritic.com) gives it a score of 56 based on 26 reviews. Margaret and David (abc.net.au/atthemovies) each gave it three stars.

G.I. Joe: RetaliationThe title says it all, really. Forget The Croods, or even the original G I Joe comic book character. This is a scifi drama about high tech cavemen with big weapons blasting all and sundry, and not even Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson can save it. It will appeal to 14 year old boys with anger issues and older people who think that revenge is the ultimate intellectual response to disappointment. Names like Storm Shadow and Hard Master suggest the level of script maturity but one never truly learns why the master is hard – the priapic eff ect of nuclear warheads? It rates only 30 per cent on the Tomatometer and Metacritic gives it 49. Alan Scherstuhl of The Village Voice was positive, saying the movie ‘pushes right past competent into mostly legitimately enjoyable’ but is ‘still dumb as catbutt’. That seems insulting to the intelligence of the feline rectum.

Enforced method acting by Hitchcock

In the attic scene in The Birds, director Alfred Hitchcock had crew hurling real gulls and crows at Tippi Hedren – for fi ve straight days of shooting. As a result, she was plagued by dreams of fl apping wings. The birds themselves had been fed whiskey to make them more aggressive.

The story of Rebecca called for Joan Fontaine to be nervous around the other actors, so Hitchcock told

her that no one else on set liked her.

When fi lming The 39 Steps he needed a shocked reaction from Madeline Carroll. He achieved this by pretending to pull his cock out.

A popular urban legend has it that Janet Leigh’s terrifi ed scream in the Psycho shower scene was achieved by Hitchcock turning on the cold water unexpectedly, though apparently this is untrue.

Sourced from TV Tropes tvtropes.org

Cloud AtlasWhere to begin with this movie? To say that it is ambitious in scope doesn’t quite cover it. Remarkably, against odds that soar with every location and time shift, and with virtually no cohesive through-line, directors Tom Twyker and Andy and Lana Wachowski somehow make a silk purse from a sprawling, quasi religious, folkloric, apocalyptic, epochal, sci-fi historical cozzy action romance, with a good old fashioned ‘take that, you bastard!’ bit at the end when a revolting villain gets clobbered by a downtrodden Mexican factory girl. The fun starts when we meet Tom Hanks as a sort of tattooed primitive. The catastrophe that destroys human civilization

has happened and Tom, with a bung eye and mumbling wonderful pidgin English, is refl ecting on the Last Days – if you

can run with that scenario, you’ll be right. We then make the fi rst of countless fl ashbacks and jumps forward, from the South Pacifi c in the nineteenth century, to a nuclear plant in San Francisco, 1973, to Neo Seoul sometime in our next century, to a post-WWI famous composer’s Edinburgh, to… well, you get the picture. Hanks pops up all over the place, a diff erent character each time, as do Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant (brilliant as a sleaze), Ben Whishaw, Halle Berry and a scrumptious Doona Bae. It’s almost impossible to answer the basic question, ‘what’s it about?’, other than to say that, in a scrambled but intensely focused sense, it is about us all – about how we are benighted by greed and self-interest, sustained by love and redeemed by sacrifi ce. Moving at a cracking pace, the tone is never ponderous, the CGI impressive (the Seoul segments are super), and the tone not so weighty that it won’t allow for a few decent belly laughs – the naked lad sprung by his girlfriend’s parents and, in a panic, using the family cat to cover his privates is a hoot, as is the sequence that has a group of oldies escaping from their nursing home. I enjoyed it heaps. ~ John Campbell (from a previous week)

1. Fantastic Mr Fox (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm) is a wonderful

stop-frame animated fantasy based on the Roald Dahl

children’s novel of the same name. The morally ambiguous

Mr Fox, exuberantly voiced by George Clooney, takes on

the farmers who try to destroy his home. Plenty of joy and

drama and mercifully free of preaching.

2. The French Kissers (SBS2, Sunday, 9pm) , originally

Les beaux gosses, is a pleasant French teen comedy and

the fi lm debut for writer/director Riad Sattouf. The plot

sounds familiar: teenage boy Hervé can’t get a girl until

the beautiful Aurore takes a liking to him. Unfortunately

he spoils the bliss by bragging about Aurore to his friends,

who try to grope her during a game of of Dungeons &

Dragons. The skin crawls at the thought.

Bring back the crispy VICTORIA COSFORD

It’s a word strongly disapproved of by the more serious restaurant reviewers. ‘Crispy’, so they believe, should simply be ‘crisp’ – and yet ‘crispy’ is a word on any menu which is guaranteed to

grab my attention and generally become part of my order. Besides, I disagree with those reviewers: to my mind something crispy has undergone a process (mostly involving frying, I confess) to become so, whereas ‘crisp’ suggests a fi xed state, like a stick of fresh celery.

Crispy chicken, crispy duck, crispy-skinned fi sh all call out to me from menus, and now I have another dish to add to the list. It is crispy rice salad and I ate it at Byron Bay’s Orient Express, where red curtains fl oat between tables to create intimate spaces, where indeed the lucky colour red is all around, enfolding you inside a snug Thai-style teahouse where the food is a felicitous blend of Laotian, Vietnamese and Thai.

Our table of four ordered the salad as part of a modest banquet. Although categorised as an entree, the serving was huge: a vibrant mound of fresh herbs and sprouts and shredded lettuce and carrots studded with chunks of chewy, nutty rice and all of it dressed with that glorious sour-sweet-salty blend of chillis and citrus and sugar and garlic and loads of fi nely chopped peanuts. Texturally it was a marvel – but it was that crispy

rice that stood out.

According to its infi nitely modest creator, chef/owner Tippy Heng, this is his interpretation of ‘the humble Lao-style’ crispy rice salad. I am intrigued and investigate further: its correct title is Nam Khao and it is an exceedingly popular appetiser in Laos,

becoming increasingly favoured in the West. It often includes fermented pork sausage – Tippy’s did not – and is traditionally eaten as a wrap by fi lling individual leaves such as lettuce with a spoonful of the tangy mixture, topping it all off with chilli and fresh herbs. The secret to the crispiness of the rice is egg added to cooked rice

CITRUS CURED OCEAN TROUT & ORGANIC BEETROOT SALADFig Tree Restaurant

... from page 33 ...

together with fi sh sauce then deep-fried in a lot of oil until it becomes golden. Once drained and cooled down it is then tossed through mint and coriander and shallots and bean sprouts and iceberg lettuce and tomatoes, then submitted to the glorious peanutty dressing. So even though, yes, you are eating deep-fried rice cakes there is a strong sense that this is a hearty nourishing salad which is good for you!

The rice actually reminded me of that layer of toasted rice you should fi nd at the base of a properly-made paella. Considered a delicacy, it’s called ‘socarrat’ and it is that crunchy crusty part where the rice becomes something else again. It turns out that the crust of rice left sticking to the pan in Thai and Chinese cuisines is as prized. Somehow Tippy’s crispy rice salad left me with that same level of happiness.

If you're time poor jump down to see Feckle at Bay Seafood and pick up some gravlax salmon. If you're keen to do it yourself there are a few simple steps to follow.

FOR THE OCEAN TROUT MIX

Equal parts sugar and rock salt, add the zest and juice of lemons, limes and orange, add 1 tbsp of fennel seeds, 1 tbsp of yellow mustard seed.

Mix well and place over trout fi llet skin side down. Rest in the fridge for 12–18 hours.

Slice thinly and arrange on a serving plate

FOR THE SALAD

Roast baby beetroot with a little pepper, sea salt, basil and olive oil till tender.

Peel and cut beetroots.

Wash salad leaves and herbs and arrange next to the salmon.

Place on beetroots, dress and serve.

www.echo.net.au The Byron Shire Echo April 2, 2013 43<echowebsection=News Extra>

Daylight hours are dwindling and our first month of autumn is ending. But in many places, March felt a lot like summer. Get used to it: looking ahead, all indications are that future summers could be just like this one, or more extreme.

Southeast Australia wel-comed autumn with a persis-tent heat wave. For the first 12 days of autumn, temperatures were 6.9 degrees above normal across Tasmania and 6.8 de-grees above normal in Victoria.

Melbourne’s March record-breaking weather included nine days of temperatures of 32 degrees or above and its highest overnight March tem-perature in 110 years of record keeping. Adelaide experienced ten such hot days.

The unusually warm autumn weather was part of a much larger and much longer warm spell. The last six months have been characterised by sequenc-es of heat waves and record temperatures across the entire Australian region.

Summer was the hottest on record across all of Australia. In January, Australia had its hottest month on record. The hottest day ever recorded for the entire continent occurred on January 7.

The surrounding oceans, from the Great Australian Bight through Bass Strait, also broke previous extreme tem-perature records. These waters exhibited the highest sea sur-face temperatures on record in February.

Our exceptionally hot sum-mer cannot be discussed sim-ply as a catalogue of interesting

record-breaking events. This summer was not normal. And we can’t talk about the excep-tionally hot summer and early autumn without talking about climate change.

Australian average tempera-tures have increased faster than the global average increase (0.8°C) and are now 0.9 de-grees higher than a century ago.

It may not sound like much, but research shows that chang-es in average temperatures (even less than 1°C) can lead to huge changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climate events.

This is exactly what Australia just experienced with this se-quence of heat waves, extend-ing from November 2012 to March 2013.

Our recent research in the internationally peer-reviewed Journal of Climate shows that

there has been a significant in-crease in the number of heat wave days for most of the country from 1951 to 2008. The paper describes heat waves as a period of three or more days where temperatures are exces-sively high – in the top five to ten per cent of temperatures recorded.

This trend is greatest in east-ern Australia, where both the number of heat waves and their duration has increased.

Recently, we extended the time period of the analyses to include the period from 1911 to 2011. Not surprisingly, our initial results suggest that heat waves are now occurring ear-lier than 100 years ago. In some places, the first heat wave of the season is occurring almost a month earlier.

Recent studies from other parts of the world have shown that many, if not most, of the

recent record-breaking heat waves and extremely warm summers would have been un-likely to occur without human influence on climate change.

Although we can never say categorically whether an indi-vidual climate event, such as a heat wave, would have oc-curred without human-related greenhouse gas emissions, it is possible to assess how global warming has changed the like-lihood of extreme events oc-curring.

Working with other climate scientists we investigated the probability of extreme summer heat occurring across Australia using a suite of climate model simulations representing cur-rent climate conditions. We then used a parallel suite of control experiments, in which greenhouse gases from human activities were entirely absent.

Previous studies using simi-

lar methods have found strong human contributions to the se-verity of extreme summer tem-peratures. James Hansen and other NASA scientists found a tenfold increase in areas expe-riencing extremely hot sum-mers due to global warming. Similarly, climate scientist Ga-reth Jones and his colleagues at the UK Met Office Hadley Centre found a dominant hu-man influence on rapidly in-creasing hot summers in the northern hemisphere.

When we ran our hot, angry summer through a large group of the latest generation of cli-mate models it became clear that there was likely to have been a substantial human in-fluence on our recent extreme summer heat. Our early results indicate that anthropogenic cli-mate change more than tripled the risk of Australia’s extremely hot summer occurring.

As for the future, it is now virtually certain that the fre-quency and severity of hot days will increase. Extremely hot seasons will worsen, with the biggest impacts of climate change being felt by Australi-ans in summer. Spring weather will come earlier, and autumn later.

Additional global warming over the next 50 years, under a business-as-usual fossil fuel emissions scenario, is expected to see global average tempera-tures increase by at least 1°C. Such a change means that our recent summer on steroids will become the norm and far worse summers will occur with

greater frequency.We already know what is

causing the changes we see now. Clearly, it is time to stop talking about record-breaking heat as isolated incidents and recognise it in the context of climate change.

It’s time to start preparing for more angry summers, more frequently.

More angry, more often: heatwave signals a new normal

Some 1.2 billion people – al-most a fifth of the world – live in areas of physical water scar-city, while another 1.6 billion face what can be called eco-nomic water shortage. The situation is only expected to worsen as population growth, climate change, investment and management shortfalls, and inefficient use of existing resources restrict the amount of water available to people, according to Worldwatch In-stitute’s Vital Signs Online ser-vice (www.worldwatch.org). It is estimated that, by 2025, 1.8 billion people will live in coun-tries or regions with absolute water scarcity, with almost half of the world living in condi-tions of water stress.

Water scarcity has several definitions. Physical scar-city occurs when there is not enough water to meet demand; its symptoms include severe environmental degradation, declining groundwater, and unequal water distribution. Economic water scarcity oc-curs when there is a lack of

investment and proper man-agement to meet the demand of people who do not have the financial means to use existing water sources; the symptoms in this case normally include poor infrastructure. Large parts of Africa suffer from eco-nomic water scarcity.

Resource strainWorld population is pre-

dicted to grow from 7 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050, putting a strain on water resources to meet increased food, energy, and industrial demands.

But there are many other pressures, including increased urbanisation and overcon-sumption, lack of proper man-agement, and the looming threat of climate change. Ac-cording to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organi-zation and UN Water, global water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century.

At the global level, 70 per cent of water withdrawals are

for the agricultural sector, 11 per cent are to meet mu-nicipal demands, and 19 per cent are for industrial needs. These numbers, however, are distorted by the few countries that have very high water with-drawals, such as China, India, and the United States.

Heavy useAgricultural water with-

drawal accounts for 44 per cent of total water withdrawal among members of the Or-ganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), but this rises to more than 60 per cent within the eight OECD countries that rely heavily on irrigated agri-culture. In the four transitional economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, agriculture accounts for 74 per cent of wa-ter withdrawals, but this ranges from 20 per cent in Russia to 87 per cent in India.

According to the institute, ‘Climate change will affect global water resources at vary-ing levels. Reductions in river

runoff and aquifer recharge are expected in the Mediterranean basin and in the semiarid areas of the Americas, Australia, and southern Africa, affecting wa-ter availability in regions that are already water-stressed.

In Asia, the large areas of ir-rigated land that rely on snow-melt and high mountain gla-ciers for water will be affected by changes in runoff patterns, while highly populated deltas are at risk from a combination of reduced inflows, increased salinity, and rising sea levels. And rising temperatures will translate into increased crop water demand everywhere.

‘To combat the effects of cli-mate change, efforts must be made to follow an integrated water resource management approach on a global scale. This involves water manage-ment that recognises the ho-listic nature of the water cycle, and the importance of man-aging trade-offs within it, that emphasises the importance of effective institutions, and that is inherently adaptive.’

In The Conversation the conversation.edu.au Sophie Lewis and Sarah Perkins argue that more extreme summers are ahead.

Water scarcity is a looming threat, says institute

VS

Matthew Lodge

In a round that could only be described as a tipster’s night-mare, only one other match had a closer score than that of Gold Coast’s 13 point win over St Kilda at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.

Without a host of big name players in the side, many ear-marked this match as a danger game for the Saints against a Gold Coast side, not short on confidence when declaring they could win their maiden premiership in just three years.

With just six wins in their two formative years in the AFL, many south of the border have ridiculed the Suns as un-realistic incompetents, funded

by the AFL at the expense of a solid competition.

Saturday night’s win will hush all of those in Victoria. Th e young locals who ventured to Ewingsdale two Fridays ago should also take a lot of credit for ‘tuning’ the Suns up for their performance.

Gold Coast started fast with early goals to Charlie Dixon, Luke Russell and Harley Ben-nell in a pulsating fi rst quarter that saw youngster Aaron Hall fi nish with high quality dispos-als in the fi rst quarter.

As had been the case in their previous years, the sec-ond quarter saw a notable drop off in the Suns’ intensity as the Saints slammed on fi ve goals to nil.

Saints skipper and former Gold Coast local Nick Rie-woldt – who was well held by young Suns defender Rory Th ompson – kicked his only two goals for the game, while midfielders David Armitage and Jarryn Geary amassed a cool 35 possessions between them at the half.

From half time onwards, it was the Gary Ablett Junior show. Th e third quarter saw the bald maestro break through a tackle, burn his opponent off be-fore slotting through a magnifi -cent goal on the run to send the Metricon crowd into raptures.

Th ere was further reason to be excited when young prodigy Jaeger O’Meara put through his fi rst goal in league football out of a forward 50 stoppage.

Much as been made of O’Meara league wide, when he was draft ed as a seventeen year old yet unable to play senior footy and had to instead ply his trade in the reserves competi-tion, winning multiple best on grounds.

Th e Saints’ inaccuracy cost themselves a chance to extend the lead in the third quarter

as they registered a woeful 1.7 in the fi rst and then 1.5 in the third quarter, leading by just nine points at the last break.

Ablett, as if he hadn’t done enough already, then took it upon himself to quickly eradi-cate the St Kilda lead through three brilliant individual goals.

Th e fi rst saw him win a free kick deep in the Suns attack, yet it was the second and par-ticularly the third that will be etched in the minds of the near 14,000 strong crowd.

Two goals on the run, one where he pushed off Saints defender Sam Gilbert before hooking the ball across his body from 40m out, comple-mented a best on ground per-formance as he also fi nished with 34 possessions, 19 of them won in contested situations.

Th e Saints came hard in the last few minutes of the last quarter led by three goals for the match from small forward Terry Milera.

However, he was alone in being able to fi nd the middle of the big sticks, as inaccuracy continued to haunt St Kilda. A seven point margin with two minutes to go, with the game in the balance, was soon erased when Hall ran into an open goal to kill off any hopes of Saints fi ghtback.

While the competition may sit up and take notice of Gold Coast’s performance, it was Ablett’s performance of four goals and 34 touches that copped the most atten-tion, with many AFL players sending messages of support to champion via Twitter and other social media.

The Suns’ task gets a little harder next week when they travel to Sydney to take on last year’s premiers the Swans.

The final score was Gold Coast 13. 12. (90) defeating St Kilda 10. 17. (77).

Is this a sign of the year to come? Why not. Sport is all-bout making heroes and the marking of historical mile-stones. Th e Suns certainly have the talent to make the Gold Coast’s dreams come true.

Watch this space!

One lucky duck and two ducklings started the Easter weekend off with a treat. Ben Kirkwood, Harrison Kirkwood (who plays for thev BBJAFL U10s), and Charlie Kirkwood got to hang out with our favourite Sun Gary Ablett Jr at the Suns’ training on Good Friday before Ablett’s stellar performance against the Saints on Saturday night at Metricon.

NSW property sellers are being advised to create their own buyer profi les to help speed up the sale of their property.

According to Propell National Valuers, profi ling the people most likely to buy your home will help identify the best marketing and pricing structure for maximum gain.

CEO Bart Mead said that while it’s currently very much a buyers’ market, sellers can get the edge by profi ling their buyer, brainstorm-ing their potential concerns and addressing them ahead of time.

‘People looking for a house under $400,000 have very diff er-ent needs to those willing to spend above $800,000. Listing these fundamental traits can help sellers position their property appro-

priately and secure the best price,’ Mr Mead said.

‘Properties under $400,000 are attracting the bulk of the buyers at the moment so it’s important to know who they are and what they want.

‘At this price they are likely to be fi rst home buyers keen to take advantage of funding incentives and exit the rental cycle, as well as investors who see the potential for strong rental yields with minimal outlay.

‘Owner occupiers will likely be students or graduates, or couples with or without a young family, and investors will have this same demographic in mind. Since buy-ers are likely to be new to property, they will probably be acquainted with the area and its local facilities when fi rst entering the market.

‘With strong competition, buyers may be in a hurry to purchase and willing to accept the advertised price.

‘Th e more you think about your potential buyer the better you can market your property.’

Mr Mead say buyer profi ling is something real estate agents have been doing for years but home owners can easily do it too.

‘If your buyer profi le says young professionals, highlight features like being close to transport, shops and schools. Present a well landscaped front yard and off er quality over quantity – that is, a decent sized kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms rather than cram-ming lots of features such as sun rooms and dining rooms into a smaller space.’

At the other end of the market, prestige property sales above $800,000 are lift ing aft er a slow period following the global fi nan-cial crisis.

‘It’s interesting to see a return to prestige home sales, thanks to an improving global economy and a willingness on behalf of vendors

to meet market demands,’ Mr Mead said.‘Th ese are high income earners or retired with access to a substan-

tial superannuation fund.‘Th eir families are generally grown up and they may be looking to

downsize and enjoy some of the luxuries that come with this higher bracket such as affl uent locations, generous land size and attractive aesthetics.

‘Buyers in this market are generally more property savvy, in no hurry to buy immediately and willing to look further afi eld; meaning they possess stronger bargaining power,’ he said.

Sellers in this bracket rely on buyers gaining an emotional con-nection with the property - ambience, scent and aesthetics play a key role in selling prestige homes.

Th e correct pricing structure is also crucial in selling prestige property.

‘We are seeing more “no price marketing” on prestige properties these days, to cast a wider net for potential buyers and let the prop-erty speak for themselves,’ Mr Mead said.

You’ve survived the Bluesfest but the excitement is not yet over! Daylight saving ends this Sunday at 3am, so make sure you turn your digital devices (if your computer doesn’t do it automatically) and your anachronistic analog fetish ob-jects back one hour or incur the wrath of the Time Lords.

Best wishes to Digby Hildreth, who is resigning as editor of the Byron Shire News because of health issues. Good luck with it all, Digby. And to jour-nalist Jann Burmester, whose position at the News became redundant, and who has been in the business since 1976. And of course welcome to the News’s new editor Christian Morrow.

Byron Music Society continues to bring remarkable musicians to the shire. Th e latest off er-ing is the Strelitzia Trio – vio-lin, cello and piano – who will perform a mix of old and new music at at Byron Community Centre on Sunday April 7 at 2pm. Tickets online at www.byroncentre.com.au, Mary Ryan Bookshop, Mullum Bookshop or at the door. Th ere is good footage of them play-ing Arno Babadjanian’s Piano Trio in F# Minor at http://bit.ly/14CxcSm.

American president Barack Obama, who brought us that immortal hit Send In The Drones, has just signed off on a bill needed for the US gov-ernment to avoid imminent shutdown and pay its bills. However, tucked away in it is Section 735 – branded the ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ by its opponents – which strips federal courts of the authority to halt the sale and propagation of genetically modifi ed seeds and crops if concerns about health risks arise during safety tests. Read more background on the website of that beacon of rampant anarchy the Inter-

national Business Times http://bit.ly/WZENpq and appreciate the resistance to Monsanto at www.occupymonsanto360.org. Grow it yourself or buy from a local organic source.

Backlash agrees with the sen-timents of Mullum resident Sam Leader: ‘As a resident of the north end of town, driv-ing southbound towards Mul-lum is video-game hazardous. At least every other day, I en-counter drivers on Tincogan Street failing to give way to traffi c coming from the north. Th is happens at the junctions on Station, Stuart and – white knuckliest of all – Dalley Street. On behalf of all my neighbours, if you’re travelling on Tincogan Street please take the time to slow down and Give Way at the cross streets!’ Yes, people, locals and visitors alike, those signs are there for a very good reason – no-one enjoys being T-boned.

Humour, a tactic Backlash resorts to from time to time, comes under scrutiny at the 12th National Rural Health Conference in Adelaide, April

7–10. David Bell, visiting psy-chiatrist at Moree and Nar-rabri, will present findings from a world-fi rst randomised controlled trial which showed

that if a clinician tried to gener-ate humour, engagement with the patient oft en increased. As they say in the classics: no shit, Sherlock.
