Ambitious Congrats to the Byron Bay Rams! NYE plans Byron Bay New Years Eve celebration plans were thrashed out at last week’s Council meeting, with recommendations being adopted from the Community Summer Safety and Cultural Activities Committee. The committee was formed in late May this year to facilitate a safety focused NYE strategy and summer holiday period, and is made up of two councillors; staff, police, business and youth representatives; and community members. As expected, the focus is family friendly, with activities concentrated around Railway Park instead of Apex Park and road closures in Jonson Street. It will conclude by 10pm although later an event is planned at the Youth Activity Centre (YAC). And the evening also includes perhaps the most ambitious plan to date for Council and the business community – the introduction of park and ride at both entry points to the town and paid entry continued on page 3

As well as the milestone of a fiftieth year, the Byron Bay Football Club has another reason to celebrate – their Men’s Premier League team won 2–1 over the Lismore Thistles at Oakes Oval on Saturday evening. A highlight, apart from a top game, was the Premiership cup being specially delivered by the Westpac helicopter right into the middle of the ground. See more in today’s sport on page 40.

Fluoridation on the table A closed meeting between Byron Shire councillors and health professionals with opposing views on fluoridation will be held within a month after an emergency motion was tabled by councillor Di Woods at Thursday’s meeting. It comes as the NSW government last week offered a $7.5m incentive ‘to persuade recalcitrant councils to fluoridate their drinking water.’ There are 15 councils remaining across the state that do not fluoridate. In morning public access, a hand-

ful of residents opposed to fluoridation voiced their concerns, while Cr Woods announced her appointment to the board of Rous Water, who supply the region through the Rocky Creek Dam.

Rous pushing for certainty on dosing When the urgency motion was debated later in the afternoon, Cr Woods was asked by fellow councillors to explain why her motion was

urgent. ‘Rous have to make their decision on how many plants they have to build,’ she said, and added that she had received many threatening emails so she wanted to address the issue as soon as possible. At times discussion became heated, and it was clear frustration stemmed from the lack of scientific knowledge among councillors. There were also concerns raised about how to mitigate a possibly angry community after last week’s public outbursts continued on page 2

Just who is breaking the law? It’s a moot question which last week sparked a week-long protest, an arrest and diversionary tactics that temporarily halted NSW Forestry Corporation’s logging of pristine rainforest in the hinterlands behind Byron Shire. Located on private property within a few kilometres of Protesters Falls and west of Goonengerry National Park, the government-run private enterprise is under fire by residents, The Crescent Moon Protection Group and ecologist Dailan Pugh, who claim the operation was not properly assessed, threatens vulnerable species and is therefore illegal. Mr Pugh said he had responded to the concerns from distraught locals, one of whom ‘cracked last Thursday and sat down in front of the loggers’. ‘Some locals invited a botanist continued on page 2

Less fines and more CBD loading A change of zoning has eased fears of fines for delivery drivers, says the president of the town’s chamber of commerce, Byron United, Paul Waters. He told The Echo he raised it with councillors at the April business round table meeting

and councillors resolved to go ahead in May. The new loading zone is located opposite the Five Star supermarket on Jonson Street. Mr Waters said it’s a good example of the business community working with Council to get a good result.

continued from page 1 at Lismore’s council meeting. Cr Woods said she wanted to be ‘fully informed’, and while she believed fluoride makes a difference she has reservations on the overall benefits. ‘I initially supported fluoride but now there are doubts in my mind.’ But Cr Paul Spooner questioned the urgency, and said, ‘I can’t vote on this as I don’t know who the experts are – there have not been any staff reports. This is not transparent and I believe we should go through a proper process with public discussions.’ With that, the normally reserved Cr Chris Cubis flared up and accused Cr Spooner of double standards. Cr Cubis referred to an earlier motion from Cr Spooner which will see major NYE preparations

for Byron Bay. ‘We went on a whim for NYE, and yet you don’t want this to be rushed… This is acting inappropriately.’ Cr Rose Wanchap asked if Rous was pressuring Byron Shire into the decision. While Tweed Shire fluoridates its water supply, Byron Shire doesn’t and has a long history of rejecting pressure from the state government. Ballina and Lismore recently flagged their intention to dose their populations, and the NSW government announced that councils could not discontinue the practice of fluoridation once started. Meanwhile, the state coalition government has rejected a bill by opposition Labor MP Dr Andrew McDonald that would have forced fluoridation onto communities.

continued from page 1 and me to accompany them on an arranged site inspection on Friday. ‘When we got there we were met by the two foresters in charge of the operation. They objected to me and the botanist going onsite,’ he told The Echo. Regardless, Mr Pugh pushed ahead and says he used a back road to obtain access onto the ridge adjacent to the property. ‘In less than an hour some of us found five high-use koala trees, with more than 20 scats beneath.’ Mr Pugh says that on private property, 20m exclusion zones need to be established around highuse koala trees. ‘In their days of supposed searching, they

claim to have found only two high-use trees; we found five in less than an hour.’ Mr Pugh said his discovery represents ‘the tip of the iceberg’ and that Forestry had not bothered to survey for any of the myriad of threatened plants and animals likely to occur on the property. Martin Novak has neighboured the property for 24 years and told The Echo that this is the first time there had been logging in the valley. ‘I am involved in the Farm Forestry Association and we are not opposed to logging,’ Mr Novak said. ‘But those really old trees that are falling are known koala hotspots. Now that we know there are some breaches, there is even

more concern,’ he said. Mr Novak hadn’t met his neighbour until a few nights ago and wanted to share the feelings within the community with him. ‘This has a big impact on a small community,’ Mr Novak said. ‘The owner of the property isn’t around very often so we were not aware that he intended to log until a big road went in,’ he said. Mr Novak said the current owner had ‘owned the property for three years maximum and does not live on it. The property is actually for sale!’ The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has been informed of the breaches by Forestry Corporation by many people including Mr Novak.

‘I have spoken with the EPA manager in Grafton and expressed our concerns and they did finally arrive after being asked to on a number of occasions,’ Mr Novak said.

Logging continues

When asked by The Echo if the Forestry Corporation would cease operations in light of the claims, a spokesperson said the logging will continue as all requirements have been met. ‘It is important to note that it is the regrowth component of the property, that is the piece previously harvested, that is being harvested again. Over half of the area is protected for habitat.’ ■ See editorial, page 8

Parking fines ramped up Two new parking inspectors have been employed by Council to ramp up parking compliance in the Shire, with fines likely to affect motorists. A fine for overstaying two hours in Mullumbimby will cost $101. Parking in Mullumbimby’s CBD is two hours, while the Council-run Poinciana carpark has a four hour limit. The only full-day parking is adjacent to Council’s building and Woolworths. Mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that while parking spots in recent years have been harder to find in Mullumbimby, he hopes that town planning will address the shortage once the LEP (local environment plan) is implemented. In Byron Bay, a resident’s parking permit allows residents to park for free, subject to time limits, in the Council paid car parking areas. That includes Main Beach carpark, Lawson Street

north and south carpark and Clarkes Beach carpark. Other carparks in the town are under state control. Brunswick Heads and Bangalow are also patrolled with a free twohour limit in some areas. Byron Shire Council’s executive manager of corporate management, Mark Arnold, said the two new parking officers are currently working mainly in Byron Bay on parking and providing visitor information. ‘However the additional staff have freed up our rangers and allowed them to work throughout the rest of the Shire. It means we can respond quicker to community requests on regulation, plus take a proactive approach with targeting areas of known concern such as street camping.’ Mr Arnold urged residents and visitors to read the parking signs and take notice of time limits.

Ambitious NYE plans continued from page 1 for non-residents in vehicles. The proposed fee for the NYE park-and-ride is $30, and the ‘sticker/town entry’ system is $20; all of which will be placed on public exhibition. Entry stickers for residents, ratepayers and workers will be free. But it will all depend on finding external funding of $70,000; Council’s budget allocation towards NYE activities is $45,500, which will fund extra toilets, bins, clean up, waste disposal and traffic

management. Mayor Simon Richardson told The Echo that the Falls Festival ‘is chipping in $25,000,’ and that Council will apply to the NSW government for $70,000 to run the evening. ‘If we come up short, it will affect the creative aspect. Ultimately, the basic infrastructure costs will be met.’ A request for a staff report on finding the extra cash will be brought to Council. Crs Di Woods and Chris Cubis voted against the motion to proceed with the NYE plans.

Local News A new landscape explored

Charly Wrencher is exhibiting at the Art Piece Gallery from Thursday. Photo Jeff Dawson

A joint show by Charly Wrencher and Nicola Chatham entitled Beyond The Horizon opens at Art Piece Gallery, Mullumbimby, this Thursday 26. The collection of new

works reflects a vastly different approach to landscape painting by both artists; Charly Wrencher’s dynamic paintings are a constant exploration both of the landscape outside his studio window and of the

medium of oil paint. For her titles, Nicola takes extracts from her gardening diary – she is a successful biodynamic gardener – and adds to the mystery of her sophisticated garden-like dreamscapes.

Mullum wi-fi meeting Members of the Mullum community are invited to a meeting on a proposal to offer free wireless internet connection in the town’s CBD. The panel will be chaired by mayor Simon Richardson and will be held at the Mullumbimby RSL on Wednesday, September 25 from 7 to 8.30pm. For more information, contact Obi of Mullum Mac at obi@mullummac.com or call 6684 6235. Congratulations to local John Cottrell, who has won the 2013 Border Art Prize with an acrylic on canvas piece entitled Maelstrom Mandala.

Conservation crusader to speak in Mullum Internationally renowned environmentalist Doug Tompkins will be speaking about ‘The New Economy’ at Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Monday, September 30, at 7pm. ‘Doug is probably the biggest conservation funder in the world,’ says event organiser Helena Norberg-Hodge, ‘and a passionate defender of nature.’ ‘I met him about 25 years ago, just after he had just sold his clothing company, Esprit.

‘He then went on to set up the Foundation for Deep Ecology (www.deepecology.org), and was a major supporter of the International Forum on Globalization (www.ifg.org).

Recently, his focus has been on the protection of forests in South America. ‘He has bought more than a million hectares of land there, and is creating national parks to guarantee that it will never be logged. ‘The last time Doug visited the area, about five years ago, he had just come off a Sea Shepherd vessel and attracted an incredibly enthusiastic, sell-out crowd.

Ten teenagers from local missions in Tabulam, Nullingah and Box Ridgewere stoked to learn that mentor Mark Robertson arranged ten tickets to the Boomerang Festival courtesy of festival organisers. Through his production company, One Vision, Mark Robertson has been working/ mentoring with disengaged

Indigenous youth for over five years. Most of these kids love and learn through the arts, and in particular music and dance. All the kids are aged between 12 and 18 and are disengaged youth that don’t attend school. Mark and his team are inspiring them through music, filmmaking, hip-hop and fitness.

How to parent a teenager Byron Youth Service invites parents and caregivers of teens to join a free sevenweek parenting teenagers program every Tuesday 5.30–7.30pm from October 15 to November 26 at the Byron Youth Activity Centre, 1

Gilmore Crescent, Byron Bay. The program will focus on skills and information that may assist in improving relationships with teenagers. For more information or to book in, call Rosalie Bryant on 0431 524 044.

Mobile library retained It’s been revealed that library funding from the NSW state government to councils has been declined from 23.6 per cent in 1980/1 to just 7.5 per cent in 2010/11. The news comes after Council agreed to retain the mobile library despite staff recommendations to axe the service as part of cost-saving measures of $65,500. Instead, measures include reducing the Shire’s resource purchasing allocation by $20,000 and opening hours will be decreased by one hour, Monday to Friday, in all three library branches. Council will also write to the NSW government outlining concerns of cuts and request that the state increase its base funding for library services, ‘to meet community needs for library services.’ ‘If there was ever proof of cost shifting to councils, this is it,’ said mayor Simon Richardson at Thursday’s meeting. When asked if the decrease in funding was a concern, Ballina MP Don Page told The Echo, ‘I am a keen supporter of our libraries, especially in the regions.’ ‘Since the 1980s state funding for libraries has declined

as local council contributions have increased. However, the current state government recognises the historical situation and in our latest budget allocated $26.5 million for public libraries across the state – a $2 million increase on the previous year.’ He added that an additional $4 million over four years from 2011/12 will revitalise regional libraries and that a review’s recommendations, undertaken by the Library Council of NSW, is being considered.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF BYRON SHIRE Boomerang Festival will be held at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm (Bluesfest site) October 4th–6th, 2013.

Rule of law doesn’t apply to forestry corporation There’s been a smelly plume of unaccountability and wanton ecological destruction wafting from the NSW Forestry Corporation for many years. The private enterprise arm of the toxic O’Farrell state government is tasked to ‘manage’ our valuable natural assets, but instead destroys our heritage and makes a financial loss while doing it. Echonetdaily reported last May that ‘NSW taxpayers were slugged NSW Forestry Corp nearly $120 million last year to fund the CEO Nick Roberts ongoing logging’ of the state’s forests.’ And now it’s at our doorstep. Old-growth blackbutt on private property adjacent to the Whian Whian State Conservation Area, just west of Goonengerry National Park, is being logged by the Corporation. While it’s legal to log privately owned land when requirements are met, the North East Forest Alliance (NEFA) claim the area is home to endangered koala habitat and at least four other species that are threatened with extinction. This means they are acting illegally, they say. It’s just another in a long list of incidents that NEFA has reported. Around a year ago, NEFA found numerous koala scats in logged parts of the Royal Camp State Forest near Grafton. Later the Corporation was slapped with paltry fines of less than $1,000 by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for logging a koala high-use area. Then last June, it appeared they were up to the same thing in the Koreelah State Forest near Woodenbong. There is little doubt that the EPA needs to be strengthened to ensure better outcomes for forest protection. But like the ACCC or the Press Council, they have little bite. The Forestry Corporation’s ‘Native Forest Operations’ have no place in modern times – plantation timber can more than provide for our needs. Stop killing koalas, Nick Roberts. Hans Lovejoy, editor

here are basically two sorts of leaders. There are the ones who treat their fellows as potential allies and the others who assume from the start that all those around them are potential enemies. Tony Abbott has already declared himself in the latter camp. His apologists have pointed out that his purge of the public service was not as gory as that of his mentor John Howard; on assuming office in 1996 Howard sacked six permanent heads in what became notorious as the worst bloodbath in the history of the service. Abbott has only axed three – well, so far at least. But the victims’ only crime appears to be that they were loyal servants of Abbott’s Labor predecessors. Don Russell was Paul Keating’s chief of staff, almost his alter ego, so was marked from the start – although it is hard to see what partisanship he showed as head of the Department of Innovation and Industry. Blair Comley, in Resources, previously worked on Kevin Rudd’s model for an Emissions Trading Scheme. Andrew Metcalfe in Agriculture once defended Julia Gillard’s Malaysia solution when secretary of immigration. All three are long-term public servants, widely experienced and respected by their peers. None has ever been accused or suspected of any impropriety – except the thought crime of getting on too well with their Labor ministers. The same may apply to treasury secretary Martin Parkinson who is going on extended leave. Parkinson, like Comley, was involved in the design of Rudd’s ETS, but more significantly has been the target of incoming treasurer Joe Hockey, who more than once accused him and his colleagues of doctoring the numbers to produce the results Labor governments

wanted – a very serious charge amounting to outright corruption. No evidence was ever adduced but Parkinson was, and is, clearly on the enemies list. His future is at best uncertain. And then there are – or were – Peter Baxter, the director-general of the formerly independent AusAID, now merged with Foreign Affairs, and Tim Flannery, whose Climate Commission has been abolished altogether. Many lesser lights are simply collateral damage – although we should not forget Steve Bracks, whose appointment as consul-general to New York was abruptly cancelled as he was in the process of taking it up.

It was John Howard who broke the mould, openly seeking to stack the service with his own supporters. by Mungo MacCallum Various reasons were adduced, the most risible being George Brandis’s assertion that Bracks, a former state premier, was underqualified for the job. What, like Senator Michael Baume, given the job in 1996 by John Howard as a blatant reward for unswerving and frequently unscrupulous loyalty? This was the man dismissed by Paul Keating as ‘a piece of parliamentary filth’. At least Bracks never had to wear such contumely. It was not always thus. In the old days, incoming prime ministers respected the role of the permanent pubic service and never thought to question the integrity of senior figures. In 1949 Robert Menzies preserved virtually all of Ben Chifley’s senior team, including avowed socialists like H C ‘Nugget’ Coombs, who became one of his most trusted advisers. Even after 23 years of con-

servative rule, Gough Whitlam moved just two of the departmental heads sideways, and kept tories like Arthur Tange and James Plimsoll in their jobs. And Malcolm Fraser even retained Whitlam’s former private secretary, John Menadue, as his secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. It was Bob Hawke who altered the system by removing the guarantee of permanency. But he did not use the change as an excuse to politicise the service; even such partisan figures as John Stone, who later stood for parliament on behalf of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, survived unscathed. It was John Howard

who broke the mould, openly seeking to stack the service with his own supporters – not merely Liberals, but Howardists. It was made clear from the top down that loyalty to the government was to be the prerequisite for career advancement. Not only would recalcitrants be punished – and the awful example of the sacked six showed that the punishment would be swift and ruthless – but fealty would be rewarded. Thus when a hitherto anonymous bureaucrat name Jane Halton successfully ran interference for Howard over the children overboard incident in 2001, immediately after the following election she was appointed head of the health department. To his credit Kevin Rudd, who had himself worked in the public service and knew the dangers of politicising its members, attempted to restore the

old ways; to the surprise and annoyance of many of his colleagues, even Halton kept her job. But it appears that Abbott intends to revert to, and exploit, the Howard model. The first duty of the public service will not be, as its name implies, to serve the public; it will be to serve the government of the day, to look after its interests by whatever means are necessary. It could prove a dangerous path. Not only is it an incitement to sycophancy – ministers may find themselves surrounded by yes-men and yes-women, both inside and outside the office – but it will be a serious disincentive to those considering the public service as a career option. But with a prime minister not particularly interested in policy reform, and one who believes that he can get all the guidance he needs from his appointed staff and trusted confidantes (including, of course, his personal confessor, Cardinal George Pell) the public service was always going to be a touch superfluous anyway. Its role will not be to provide frank and fearless advice; it will be to implement government policy, to do what it is told. Yes, the old days are gone. There is a story that when Sir Robert Menzies was planning to make an economic statement he called in his public service experts – the Chifleyites Nugget Coombs, Richard Randall and Roland Wilson – for a conference and read them a draft. When he had finished, Coombs replied: ‘prime minister, you have just told us what you would like to do. We shall now tell you what you are able to do.’ So they did, and he did it. His original proposal would have led to disaster. It is not too late for Abbott to learn from the master. Q See Mungo’s video at

Letters Fluoride furore By resolution of Byron Shire Council on September 19, the great fluoride debate will now happen. Councillors will be informed by ‘the two sides’: pro-fluoride experts, some of whom are NSW public servants paid to get us fluoridated, and anti-fluoride experts (are there any?). The workshop will not be public but Council will hold a public meeting some time after it. I support Council’s current longstanding position of not having fluoride in our town water supplies. I have no opposition to people having better teeth. My problem is with the lack of choice. My questions to pro-fluoride thinkers are: 1. Even if you want your water fluoridated, do you want to impose fluoride on those who have an objection to it? Some will be forced to buy bottled water to drink. 2. Do you think government should look for alternative ways to provide fluoride to you so that other people don’t have to regard their water supply as poisoned? Why have fluoride tablets disappeared? How much do we need each day? What foods contain it? 3. Do you think government should look at other ways of protecting our teeth (eg, minimising sugar in processed food; making dental care affordable) rather than focusing on an additive in our tap water? Kerry Chant (one of the state-paid experts) says that fluoride remineralises tooth struc-

Keep track, make trail? Q I admit that I am a city gal from way back and used to certain amenities. I rode my bike everywhere and when that was not possible there was reasonable public transport. I never owned a car until I moved to the Shire. There are not many downsides for me living in the region but one of them is car dependency. How fantastic would it be to catch a train from Mullum to Byron. How can we make this happen? And why hasn’t it happened already? Treena Lenthall Wilsons Creek Q As the former president of NHAG, the Northern Horse Action Group that successfully lobbied for riding trails within the Caldera National Park, it was always my dream, and that of the group, to have riding trail links between the towns of the northern rivers and eventually links to the national park trails.

Holiday letting About three months ago a woman from the mid-north coast took her neighbour to court over holiday letting, the council (as always) not being interested. She won even though that council’s LEP was less clearcut than our own LEP rules. In the upshot the Sydney Morning Herald ran an article which was a sub-story

SBA

Even though our initial plans to use Crown reserve roads (paper roads) for horse trails was frustratingly abandoned in all but a few localities due to a few landholders’ objections (legally we could have insisted on our right to use what is actually public land but basically withdrew from the conflict), we continued to support TOOT in the ideal of bringing back rail transport despite the potential for the rail line as a rail trail. Now, however, is the time to go full steam ahead. Realistically the return of rail in the immediate to long term is dead and the only way of preserving the rail corridor for any future return of rail, however unlikely, is to utilise it now and preserve the corridor. It is time and it will be an incredible resource for walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike. I hope the community gets behind this 100 per cent. Mac Nicolson Ocean Shores

in favour of holiday letting, citing a particular person whose mother was able to be in a nursing home only because of income from holiday letting, boo-hoo. I was stunned by how blatantly one-sided the article was and how it set out not to look at the issue but to present the holiday-letting case favourably, a la Murdoch. In a recent SMH the explanation was unwittingly provided. The holidayletting company Stayz is owned by Fairfax! So much for Fairfax’s much-braggedabout ‘Charter of Editorial Independence’. Holiday letting seems untouchable but I see it as forcing house prices up and forcing rents up, as well as

irstly, Beau Young is the nicest guy on the planet. Secondly, Beau Young is the nicest guy on the planet. As a member of Australia’s surfing royalty, there was always a chance that Young was going to turn out to be a stuck-up pain in the butt, but, if he ever was, there’s is no sign of it now. And to be honest, I suspect he never was. Beau’s success as a professional surfer saw him scale the heights of the ASP World Tour in the late nineties. He was crowned the World Longboard Champion in both 2000 and again in 2003. Young has done the hard yards; he travelled the world with the professionals. He has done some easier yards; travelling the world as a paid free surfer. At the end of the day, both worlds had expectations of him. Just in his thirties, Young gave up the profession of surfing, which left more time for other career choices and just plain old ordinary surfing. ‘I haven’t competed since the last event in 2003’, he says. ‘The more I played music and got into singing as well as riding all sorts of different surfboards, I always saw it as a touchy issue between surfing being a sport and a creative outlet.’ Beau says that he is a genetic surf expres-

sionist and that has had a huge influence on him. ‘My father (surfing legend Nat Young), during his surfing career, always saw it as an artistic expression. ‘When I was doing the world qualifying circuit there were 700 of us travelling the world, dog-eat-dog situations to try to pay to stay in a shitty hotel then travel to the next event. I think things like that kind of stifle surfing. Surfing has a lot of individuals. ‘I was always unsure about competing against good friends for money. It can get pretty tense out there. It’s not ideal for me. Personally, I like to push my own surfing ability still to this day and it’s a great pursuit. All my friends just love surfing for what it is, I think; they are not there to be rich or famous out of it, though some of them make money out of surfing.’ Beau says he had a long period of making money from the waves for which he is very thankful, but those days are in the past. Having lived in the Byron region for 15 years, Young feels that the general attitude about surfing is different. ‘The predominant mind-set is out of the box. A lot of people just see it (surfing) in the papers and think “Kelly

Slater is incredible”, which he is, but that’s just one aspect of surfing. I think there is more of an open-mindedness to different forms of surf craft, be it a board with one fin, two fins, all different sizes; and you only have to look at Byron Bay to see the attire goes along with that, and I know it’s just a fashion thing to some degree, but the way the surfboards are and the look of the people, they are all looking like they are out of the 70s. It says a lot about surf culture and that alternative mindset. These days not everyone wants to wear the same brand and surf the same board and I think that’s a good thing.’ Young himself is moving in many directions. Beau performs his Animals Rock children’s show across the country; he is looking towards new work in the adult music industry; and he is in the design stages of producing his own line of boards. ‘I’m riding a whole bunch of different boards and I am also designing a whole bunch of different boards. I just want to develop a range of different boards that cover many different aspects of many different eras – different things for people to try, really. I think the fact that I am even able to do that shows that surfers are a lot more openminded now than they have been. It’s nice to know that there are more people surfing and riding different things’.

NSW government takes on the plant kingdom

‘This law will apply to some of the most popular collectible cactus species. Almost all cacti alkaloids are structural analogues of mescaline (as defined under NSW drug law), even if they are not psychoactive. Basically any cactus that contains phenylethylamines will become illegal regardless of the concentration and also regardless of whether the owner knew about it or what purpose it was grown for.’ The grief is not confined to the harmless cactus fancier, however. There are pitfalls for the writer as well in the loose wording. An ‘advertisement’, you will be interested to

learn, means ‘(a) any words, whether written or spoken, or (b) any pictorial representation or design, or (c) any other representation by any means at all’. And so a person is guilty of an offence if he/ she ‘publishes or displays in any manner, way, medium or form any advertisement: (a) knowing or being reckless as to whether the advertisement promotes, or apparently promotes, directly or indirectly, the consumption, supply or sale of a substance for its psychoactive effects, and (b) providing information on how or where the psychoactive substance may be acquired’. Does that mean that in my ‘advertising’ of this information I am now a candidate for a penalty of imprisonment for up to two years or a $2,000 fine? Will the CEO of Tim Tams be collared for pushing theobromine? It would be nice to see a bit more rigour introduced into the drafting of important legislation. It is hard to believe that a legal team even looked at it. Will the constabulary now be sent out to raid greenhouses and backyard gardens on the basis of these loose definitions through which you could drive a meth lab on wheels? After all, there are many things in our vegetable

The ‘fact’ is that alcoholrelated assaults in Byron have actually decreased by 12 per cent from March 2012 to March 2013, and have remained stable for the past five years (NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics). Furthermore, the initiatives implemented by the Byron Bay Liquor Accord have shown preliminary results of a further 20 per cent decrease in assaults over the past six months compared to the same period last year.

The ‘modest’ reduction of trading hours in Newcastle was actually changing the closing hours from 5am to 3am. Byron Bay already has 3am closing for all late-night venues, plus a 1.30am lockout and the strictest drink restrictions in the entire state!

n its attempts to nail down the sale of any substance containing ‘psychoactive’ elements, the NSW government amended the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985 on Wednesday night last week. The legislation passed through the Upper House without a hitch, and only a few murmurs of dissent, despite the monumental vagueness of its wording. According to the amending bill, ‘psychoactive substance means any substance‌ that, when consumed by a person, has the capacity to induce a psychoactive effect’. This is handy to know, but my reading of the definitions contained in the 1985 Act failed to find any definition of the word ‘psychoactive’ itself. Most dictionaries agree that the adjective describes something ‘affecting the mind or behaviour’. Some lexicons add the word ‘significantly’. Under this definition such substances could include everything from heroin to chamomile tea. The more troubling part of the proposed amendment is its vagueness in relation to the plant kingdom. Entheogenesis Australia (www.entheo.net/), in an unsuccessful attempt to head off the legislation, noted in a newsletter

proposed any such thing! Last Drinks At 12 is campaigning to have last call of alcohol at midnight, with no mention of closing times. From evidence overseas, I would think that the later a subsequent closing time is effected the better for all concerned.

that the bill ‘will make it illegal to possess or sell any live plant that contains mescaline or a mescaline structural analogue.

Problem phrase ‘The problem phrase is in the definitions under “substance�, where it says that “a substance includes any plant, fungus or natural organism�. The bill also affects all DMT, harmaline, ephedrine and cathinone containing plants. ‘For instance, more than half the cactus family contains mescaline compounds in trace amounts, but the law makes no distinction between trace amounts and usable drug amounts. It is likely that the NSW government was aiming at the handful of abusable species such as Trichocereus pachanoi and beverages, or charge a cover for late entry, and most importantly, the residents and visitors of the town will be subjected to fewer violent attacks. Simple, really. Ephraim Sella Byron Bay Q It’s

HOLIDAYS Environment and lifestyle – It’s important that what I do and what I produce is ethically and environmentally responsible for future generations. Where ever possible I source sustainable and eco-friendly materials to print on. My base cloths include a sustainable hemp and cotton blend and 100 per cent linen. I use waterbased, solvent-free fabric inks that are mixed by me in my studio. I really love the fact that our consumer trend is to choose a lovely handcrafted item over the sweatshop mass-produced item. Well in my circle of friends anyway! That’s why I feel it’s really important to pass on the knowledge by offering a variety of classes that feature art, textiles and screen-printing to cater for all ages. My aim is to inspire with fun and creative design in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. www.bubblesatthehead. com.au or email carla@ bubblesatthehead.com. au

So deep in fact she to obey, no matter how strange or immoral the request, couldn’t remember her name, work out how many fingers or toes she had or remember muttering ‘yes master’. In fact in this popularised story, who she’d come with. When she sat down she the subject does the hypnotist’s evil bidding. could no longer see her partner even though Wayne Donnelly doesn’t have a goatee. Or a pocket they were sitting beside her.

E N T E R T A I N M E N T

See Mandy live at www.echonetdaily.net.au BACK IN ABBOTT'S KITCHEN Just a few days ago the 28th prime minister of Australia was sworn in. Ironically by a woman. In fact I don’t think Quentin was the only woman swearing at Tony that day. In fact around the country I reckon there were women swearing their heads off. And why not. It’s back to the kitchen for us. In Tony Abbott’s Australia that’s where we belong. And if you are a lesbian couple you better have two kitchens or at the very least a double sink. Because in the eyes of our esteemed leader, that, my sweet suffragettes, is where we now belong. You’ll be glad to know, girls, that this incredibly forwardthinking empathetic man, this man who is only a penis away from walking in our shoes, has taken on women’s issues. Yes, women’s policies and programs as well as Indigenous affairs. That’s like putting Wilson Tuckey in charge of forests. Ivan Milat in charge of tourism. Osama Bin Laden in charge of border control. Holy crap. These are just some of the things old Mono-Tone has said about women. ‘The problem with Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother’s convenience.’ Yes, shame on those of us who have had abortions and made the choice because of how it might affect our lives. What immoral evil murderers we are. So I guess in Abbott’s Australia abortions will be leaving the clinic and returning to the backyard. When he sends his new foreign minister Julie Bishop overseas

Jazz, blues, gospel, R’n’B and soul… and his style greatly influenced so many singers, including myself.’ Greg has put together an A-list band featuring some of Australia’s finest players and singers. As well as playing all the classics, they focus some attention on the jazz and R’n’B aspects of Ray’s music as well. Sunday at the Lismore City Bowling Club from 2pm to 5pm. Admission is $10 for members / students, $15 for non-members.

there won’t be a single woman in the Liberal cabinet, unless you count Tony as the champion of women’s issues. I’m thinking of sending him an honorary vagina. It can keep him company when he’s talking through his arse, saying things about equal representation like ‘I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interest are different for physiological reasons’. That’s right. I mean if you haven’t got a penis how can you be expected to make proper informed decisions? Imagine the horror of women menstruating in parliament, breastfeeding, getting hot flushes. No. Vaginas and their owners need to be realistic about what they can actually achieve in life. It’s not because of inequities of the system, it’s because of our own physiology. And Tony’s view on sexuality. Well, he’s not exactly for rape. He just likes it in moderation. ‘I think there does need to be give and take on both sides’ he has said, ‘and this idea that [there] is kind of a woman’s right to absolutely withhold, just as the idea that sex is a man’s right to demand, I think they both need to be moderated, so to speak.’ Fair enough, so when I don’t want to have sex with someone I’ll only say no half the time providing the blokes only ask half as much. For half of the rest of the time, climb on board and ride the Queen Mandy. Of course don’t get me pregnant, because if it’s not convenient, you know what will happen. What is most impressive with Tony is the way he knows how to speak to women at their level. We’re a bit retarded and we don’t get complicated ideas unless they are delivered using metaphors and everyday domestic imagery that we can clutch on to. In fact Tony has explained the impact of rising electricity with this little story: ‘What the housewives of Australia need

to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price and their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up every year’. Wow. I had no idea that I had so much power over my power. After Tony said that I stopped ironing altogether. Indigenous Australia should feel confident that, like women, they won’t miss out on being overlooked. With your number one advocate saying things like ‘Western civilisation came to this country in 1788 and I’m proud of that’ or ‘I think a better view is the view of Noel Pearson who has said that Aboriginal people have much to celebrate in this country’s British heritage’, and finally, the true understanding and compassion of a man who has the insight into how to solve low levels of employment in Indigenous communities: ‘There may not be a great job for them, but whatever there is they just have to do it, and if it’s picking up rubbish around the community, it just has to be done’. Now there’s inspiration to find a pathway to work, even if all your job is to pick up the rubbish on someone else’s pathway. Probably a white man’s pathway. Blackfellas will be too busy being grateful for British invasion and picking up rubbish while we ladies are at home inconveniently having babies from unwanted sex we felt we had to say yes to at least half the time while trying to work out how to turn the iron off. Luckily Tony came over and showed me where the power switch was. I mean, it’s not like we vagina-bearers can be expected to understand something as complicated as that. No power to the people under an Abbott government. Tony’s not just a woman, he’s also an Abbot-riginal.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MISS RENEE SIMONE. Exotic, sassy and soulful best describes Byron Bay songbird Miss Renee Simone, and Bernard Fanning wasn’t going to pass up an opportunity to have her up on stage with him at his show this year at Splendour in the Grass. Our local Miss Renee Simone (Blackbirds) has been going from strength to strength in her solo career. She kicked off the year with a series of shows at the Adelaide Fringe Festival with impeccable reviews. With her new album ROAR about to launch she’s a voice to be reckoned with in the Australian music scene. After she recorded with Angus Stone, he stated, ‘Miss Renee has a voice like layers of tiramisu topped with smooth chocolate sauce’. Last month she was called upon by Bernard Fanning to sing with him on his new single Tell me how it ends. The track was recorded live at Byron Bay’s prestigious Studio 301 and the recording was filmed; that then became the official video clip. The Miss Renee Simone band will be launching their new single You Are Beautiful nationally with a tour. The tour will begin in their home town with a decadent gala launch night on Sunday at the Byron Theatre.

Songbirds of Mullum Music Festival

Long Weekend Public Holiday

MONDAY OCTOBER 07 YAC AMPHITHEATRE, BYRON BAY ALL TOUR & TICKET DETAILS AT TOUR.XAVIERRUDD.COM

FESTIVALS CREATE IMPORTANT MEETING PLACES for a community of artists to collaborate, and in some cases create performances that may never have happened if they were just touring or playing their regular live set. This year Emily Lubitz has something very special in store for festivalgoers, a showcase of amazing women artists called Songbirds of the 1970s. How does the Songbirds show reflect the growing community thats happening between artists at Mullum Music Festival? Mullum fest is a chick magnet! So many stellar female singers sweep through the festival every year and so many of us really dig each other's work. There have been many collaborations between Mullum fest regulars so this project won’t be the first time I’ve shared the stage with many of these amazing ladies. Obviously artists won’t have much time for rehearsal; it will be pretty spontaneous. Why do you think it's important to create new music or events like this at a festival? Yes, the band will be tight so the singers can just do their thing over the top without too much rehearsal. I like that scenario sometimes as it allows for nervousness, spontaneity and something new, for the artists and the audience. Our band has been coming to Mullum for a while now so I think it’s time we gave them something a little strange and wonderful. There are so many fantastic women singers and singer / songwriters from the 70s such as Helen Reddy, Grace Slick, Janis, Joan Baez, Karen Carpenter, Joni Mitchell, Roberta Flack, Patti Smith... how on Earth are you going to choose? So many legends, it’s going to heartbreaking to make a shortlist. It was such a rich time in music. I’m not sure who and what and which at this point. What do you think women singer/songwriters today have to learn from these great artists? There is something very unmanufactured about all the women you mentioned. Something very raw. They were living in a time where the music industry was going strong, and once they had been catapulted into fame they continued to be celebrated, purely for their musical talent. They didn’t need to tweet or instagram or create perfume and fashion lines because they could just sell records. They were huge stars, simply for their songs and voices. Sometimes I envy the world they lived in. (I’m still working on my fashion label.) So I guess, we can learn to not get too swept up in the marketing world we live in and just write the best songs we can, believing that songs can change the world.

Who are the women artists from this era that you most identify with? Joni, Janis, Stevie Nicks and Nina Simone are just a few who move me to mycore. Do you think the emergence of feminism as a powerful ideology had some impact on so many women having such a powerful presence in the music industry? It was such an exciting time in history, especially for women, and I think the music reflected it. Civil rights, feminism, rock’n’roll, revolution... it was easy to find something to fight for, which is a good environment for art and music to be meaningful. Women were finding their roar and it sounded spectacular. You’ve been to MMF four times now. What are the great artists and gigs that you’ve been to? Potato Potato are an amazing band! I loved watching Darren Percival doing Ray Charles in the high school last year; Husky, Loren Kate often makes me cry; Mama Kin was ridiculously fun in that late set she did in the Civic Hall; and the after hours jams at the Court House have always been loose and awesome. What do you think is unique or special about Mullum Music Festival? I think the calibre of artists at Mullum fest seems greater than what you would expect from a such a small festival. Which is perfect. The music is incredible and you feel like you’re in a beautiful little community festival. I love how the the whole town comes alive, with music wafting out of all the buildings and that crazy, loud, ridiculous bus doing mainies all day long! Tin Pan Orange’s Emily Lubitz presents Songbirds of the 1970s at the Mullum Music Festival this year. It is going to be a very special one-off show, not to be missed!

When Busby Met Marou IN THE COUPLE OF YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE of their debut self-titled album, Tom Busby and Jeremy Marou have travelled the far four corners of the globe making friends. They’re on the road again and will celebrate the October 4 release of their new album Farewell Fitzroy by playing at Boomerang Festival. How has your friendship influenced how you play? Our friendship is best displayed while both onstage. We often have onstage jokes going and enjoy laughing at each other’s mistakes. Having a good friend on stage beside you makes all the difference when it comes to relaxing and having fun while performing. Can you tell me how you two met? Tom and I are both Rockhampton boys, a few years apart but became friends shortly after school through mutual friends. After the bands we were both playing with fell apart Tom approached me to have a play with a few of his cover songs. We started playing the pub scene in Rocky – just acoustic (which was never done). One thing led to another and we have never looked back. What’s it like meeting musically with someone? Is there this moment when you realise you speak the same language? We are the most un-muso type band you will find; however, recently when recording our new album we found ourselves speaking in some studio lingo like ‘patch some of that sizzle into my cans’. We were quick to pay ourselves out. How do the people you play with change how you play? They don’t. We have a band around us that play to the Busby Marou sound. This takes unique skills. At times I might play different guitar and use different sounds to suit full band or duo, but it should never change the way I play. We attend jam sessions that our drummer hosts; these situations are different and are designed to push your limits and play outside your comfort zone. Can you tell me a little about what is happening in Nashville for your recording? We spent three weeks in Nashville recording our new album Farewell Fitzroy. Unlike any other recordings we have done, this album was tracked all live, including all of Tom’s vocals. We took our amazing band so we could capture on the album a bit of what we sound like live. You can really hear the live feel in the album. You’re known for being a bit irreverent? Have you always been a bit subversive? Is it part of being ‘outside the square’ as it were of mainstream? We never try sound like anyone else on the radio. Tom’s and my influences are very different. It wasn’t

Boomerang Fest until we recorded our first album we realised regardless of how I play my country-style guitar the song will never be just a country sounding song; this is because of the way Tom delivers it vocally. Tom’s a singer/songwriter with influences such as Paul Kelly and Crowded House; my influences are Keith Urban and John Mayer. Put all this together and you get a Busby Marou sound. What are the things that you want to say in your music? Anything good. It’s amazing how people interpret our songs. As long as our songs continue to touch people in special ways we are doing our job. We want our music to tell stories of central Queensland, places and people we love. More recently tell stories of life on the road and travelling. What should we expect for Boomerang? Old favourites, songs from the new album. And Australia’s greatest band. The best show you will ever see. Boomerang Festival will take place on the Bluesfest site at Tyagarah Tea-Tree Farm over the October long weekend (4–6). Single- and three-day passes available. www. boomerangfestival.com.au. Latest off the presses is that John Williamson and Warren H Williams have joined the lineup!

South America meets Australia. The concert will be a warm and unique presentation of traditional Indian-style bhajans and eclectic interpretations of devotional music. Doors open at 6.30pm. $20, bring a cushion! Info: 0428 539 232

F TAURUS: This week’s Sun and Mercury in artistic Libra? Sprinkling you with pleasure-plentiful love dust. Midweek Gemini moon? Majorly auspicious for shopping bargains. The not so utterly abfab news? Other people’s forecasts aren’t quite as stellar as yours, so please resist the temptation to gloat. G GEMINI: Recent re-evaluation has presented fresh perspectives and resolutions; now it’s time for reorganising your home situation. But don’t expect the key players in your life to behave like saints – do you? Midweek moon attracts simpatico companions, puts a spring in your step, signposts an unexpected life change. H CANCER: Cancerian Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron points out that continually replaying the same old histories and opinions reinforces our pre-existing habits. Happily, this week’s planetary patterns lessen the impetus to recycle old storylines. Help things along by abstaining from complaining for 24 hours and watch what happens.

Mungo’s Crossword

I L EO: While unexpected expenses might have you out of sorts, look at it this way: Spring’s sprung and this week’s on your side. Ideas thrive, opportunities come alive, your energy’s in overdrive. Plus you can dress to impress and look your glamorous best, because everyone else is. J VIRGO: Virgos are generally happy to help – willing to assist with realistic advice on correcting imperfections, fixing inefficiencies and establishing workable plans for imposing order on chaos. Even with the best of intentions, getting involved in someone else’s problems this week could get personal, emotional and messy. K L IBRA: Sun/Mercury in happy-birthday Libra announce your month of affectionate attention. Yes, some relationship issues are challenging, but this isn’t the week to make life-changing decisions or rearrangements. It’s a good week though to cruise, schmooze, consult your creative muse, drink a little booze, buy new shoes… L SCORPIO: Evolutionary Pluto moving forward in the sign of ambition turns you into a human firecracker. While compromise mightn’t be your favourite word, right now it works. So stop frowning and enjoy much more fun than usual this week working with others, sharing and combining resources. M S AGITTARIUS: This week’s upside promises

entertaining playmates and heart-warming support. Its serious side examines Sagittarian resources: offering boosts if you’ve been financially savvy, further thought if that hasn’t been your priority. Present astral aspects insist on balance at all levels: economic, intellectual, spiritual, family affairs, office politics. N CAPRICORN: While others mightn’t be as decisive as you’d like (changing minds, spinning wheels, wandering off track) this week suggests your determined, purposeful selves take it easy-pleasy. So relax, try to be nice, and sweet to yourself as well by refusing commitments which put you on overload. O AQUARIUS: As fellow air-sign transits uncork a fizzy feeling of optimism, step away from people angsty for arguments and address the great creative renaissance bubbling up inside you. If long-term friendships hit reality checks, remember it’s easy to see other people’s failings while our own are obscured by blind spots. P P ISCES: As this exciting time of new possibilities puts your core values to radical tests, sensible intentions come up against compelling temptations, rogue emotions and serenity-challenging confrontations. Great! Now you’re going to have to forget politically correct in favour of what’s real for you. Whatever that is…

The thing that annoys me the most is: when I’m really hungry, I only have one avocado left, I’ve double toasted my gluten free bread, I’m so good to go and then, I cut it open and it’s rotten inside – grrr. My perfect meal is: Michael Dekker’s Green Papaya Salad. If I could invite anyone to a dinner party I’d ask: India Arie, Dynamo the illusionist, Brad Pitt, Michael Parkinson, Bette Midler, Eddie Murphy, my best mate Christine. My greatest strength is: I’m not lazy and I’ve got good teeth. My biggest struggle is: I spend way too much time working on the computer. To me god: is when I close my laptop. When I sing: something opens in me, like a portal; it draws in the energy from everything around me and translates it into

A GAME OF THRONES George R R Martin Harper Voyager, pb $16.99 The book that launched a thousand TV episodes – or so it seems – A Game Of Thrones is the starting point for Martin’s epic fantasy world which so far has filled five books, with two more on the bleak and snowy horizon. Unlike other tales of elven magic and unicorn prettiness, Martin’s world is grounded in a brutal medieval reality, where people die horrible deaths at the hands of armour-clad thugs and the good guys do not always win, or turn out to be entirely good guys. Sure, there are dragons, but rather than being repositories of arcane wisdom they are vicious creatures who like their gobbets roasted. The scale of Martin’s world is beautifully portrayed in the opening graphics of the TV series. Briefly, it includes the Seven Kingdoms where most of the political intrigue and battles are carried out, The Wall (perhaps the best realised creation), a massive ice barrier that protects the kingdoms from the Wildlings and The Others (nasty dead people), and the kingdoms of the East, where Daenerys Targaryen sits on her dreams of power until her dragons grow to full strength. Think Great Britain for the Kingdoms and ancient Persia for the East to get a hint of the range of flamboyance. The books are a masterly piece of plotting. Martin has us follow the story through the different points of view of a vast gallery of characters. Some critics regard them as thinly written but I think Martin fleshes them out convincingly, even managing to evoke sympathy for the major villains. Bleak it is, but there is humour, from bawdy to cerebral. The TV series brings this element to life, especially through the multifaceted dwarf Tyrion Lannister, played brilliantly by Peter Dinklage. See more of George at georgerrmartin.com and more of the TV series at hbo.com/game-of-thrones/index.html. There is also an interesting summary of Martin’s sources of inspiration at http://bit. ly/16Nbdu2. ~ Michael McDonald

Eliot Schrefer Chicken House Ltd, pb $16.99 Eliot Schrefer has published many books during his career as an author. Eliot Schrefer specialises in young adult novels and has two adult novels as well. Heart of Danger is now one of my favourite books of all time; I loved the book from start to finish. I was just blown away by the suspense and detail. It kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through it. Now and then I had to keep reminding myself that nothing bad can happen because I’m only halfway through the book. The story begins with Sophie's returning to her home town in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo, for a holiday to visit her mother. Sophie’s parents had split many years ago; ever since then Sophie goes to visit her mum every summer. While visiting her mother Sophie came across a man selling a bonobo (a type of ape). Sophie decided to buy the bonobo from the man, thinking her mother would approve of this. Sophie then had to become the new mother for this bonobo because he had become quite attached to her. One month later she then has to go back to USA but refuses to and runs off. She then later hears gunshots and finds herself stuck in the worst situation ever imagined. Overall I think this is a fantastic read and one of the best books you’ll ever read. ~ Annika Ritchie, Grade 7, Mullumbimby High

finds herself in the middle of the Australian desert on an Aboriginal community. At first she is distracted by her personal problems and her missing patient Artemisia – just 14 and critically ill with anorexia. Excerpts from the girl’s diary, The Oracle, haunt Diana, even as she participates in the traditional ceremonies of the Aboriginal women. Aunty Millie, a powerful elder skilled in traditional healing, takes an interest in Diana’s plight, and uses her mysterious ways to make an impact on her. Greenaway’s novel is based upon her own experience. She says: ‘When I was invited to attend an inma [a gathering of people to celebrate culture] with Aboriginal women in the remote deserts of Australia, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. ‘I had been warned of the severe elements: the night cold, the harsh sun, the absence of water. But nothing could have prepared me for the privilege of experiencing the oldest living culture on Earth. ‘Meeting with the women who keep the Aboriginal culture alive had a direct impact on me. I was struck by their wisdom, clarity, confidence and psychological freedom. They still knew who they were, despite the horrific invasions of their homelands, their food sources and their complex family structures. And they knew what was needed for their traditions to be secured: ceremony, celebration and sharing – women’s business. ‘Although my main character is fictitious, she does follow my personal journey into the women’s ancient world, and she does discover, as I did, a healthy absence of the image issues that afflict our modern world.’ See more at denisegreenaway.com.

Cinema Review Cinema

Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters Stanley Tucci, of whom we don’t see enough, plays Mr D, the superintendent of one of those clean-leaving outdoorsy summer camps that the Americans have loved since the days of Annette Funicello. The difference here is that it is attended by the offspring of ancient Greek gods. Mr D, a Dionysian character, is pouring red wine, but Zeus turns it to water before it reaches his glass. ‘Christians believe in a guy who did it the other way round … now THAT’S what I call a god.’ I doubt many

youngsters these days would be familiar with the biblical allusion, but I got a laugh out of it, as I did from a number of similar cracks in this run of the mill super-hero flick for kids. Logan Lerman, so good in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, is Percy, the half-caste son of Poseidon. His brother Tyson, arriving unexpectedly, turns out to be a cyclops, with one eye in the middle of his forehead, the sight of which might freak you out, if not your children, more that you’d imagine. A superbly animated

potted history of the Greek pantheon precedes an attack on the camp by a metallic minotaur with insides that are like a furnace – Tyson defeats it because a cyclops is immune to fire (I found no mention of this in my Lempriere’s, so I remain skeptical). To cut a long story short, Percy, Tyson, Thalia, Clarisse (the girls are at last pulling their weight in combat) and Grover (the token coloured boy) set out to find the Golden Fleece. They locate it in the Bermuda Triangle (where else?), along

with a boat skippered by fellow camper Annabeth and a crew of zombies. The baddies are led by a creep who reminded me of our new prime minister, and the monster at the end is a magnificently frightful creation. Terrific design, costumes and makeup, a soundtrack loud enough to loosen the fillings in your teeth and a conclusion that promises yet another sequel – it’s got it all! ~ John Campbell

wanting rain. It might seem a minor point, but it typifies the way in which Mordaunt lets the story – which is as much a parable as anything – tell itself without hand-feeding the viewer. Also pleasing (and a relief ) is Mordaunt’s

disinclination to make simplistic and cloying ‘unspoilt ethnics’ of his subjects. These villagers are as corruptible as any of us in the West (the bosses at the hydro station have electricity, the workers don’t) and vengeful enough to destroy a family’s shelter when they feel that their presence has brought ill fortune. Ahlo (Sitthiphone Disamoe), being a twin (whose brother was still-born), is deemed by tradition to be cursed. He, his parents and cantankerous granny are forcibly removed from their home because modernisation in the form of a new dam will flood their valley – the powerfully symbolic underwater scene, in which he comes upon the

submerged statues of Buddha, makes a neat bookend with the triumphant concluding shot. Seeking a place in which they might resettle and plant the mango seeds from their abandoned garden, they join up with Purple (Thep Phongam), who wants to be James Brown, and his beautiful little niece, Kia (Loungnam Kaiosainam). The prospect of their travails being lightened by winning a competition for rustic rocket builders brings to the narrative a predictability that, if obvious, never detracts from the progress of its participants. The performance of both children is phenomenal – for mine, Kaiosinam steals the show – and the naturalness

of Bunsri Yindi as the nagging dowager provides welcome vinegary humour. The ending is pure Hollywood for an arthouse audience that might wear as a badge of honour its

by the separation of her parents, Susanna (Julianne Moore), a ragged-edged, ageing rock singer, and her de facto husband, Beale (Steve Coogan), a sleazy English art dealer whose career has hit a flat spot. Both love Maisie, but not quite so much that they can put her before their own self-centred preoccupations. Beale is hastily married to Maisie’s adored nanny, Margo (Joanna Vanderham), and Susanna, as a means of gaining better access to her daughter, gets hitched to the younger Lincoln (Alexander Skarsgård), a bartender with no prospects but of a caring nature that, to Susanna’s irritation, wins the little girl’s heart. A classic tug of war over custody ensues as Maisie is

shunted uncomprehendingly between apartments – at one point she is left uncollected at the nightspot where Lincoln works and is taken home by a waitress. With confrontation and spiteful rows likely to erupt at any time, Maisie’s welfare is of secondary consideration. The potential for bleakness might discourage a prospective viewer, but directors Scott McGehee and David Sieghel manage a perfect mix of sweet and sour, primarily through the unmannered performance of Aprile, whose constant, passive presence has you locked in her buffeted world. This is a gem of a movie, full of tenderness, compassion and, in the end, forgiveness. ~ John Campbell

You get a lot of American films in which the kids are either nauseating smarties or brattish beauties (beats me why they like them like that), but thankfully Onata Aprile’s Maisie is the antithesis of those types. Her naturalness is beguiling and, without trying, she is able to invest in the character a truthfulness that is all too rare in juvenile portrayals. It helps, too, that she is surrounded by such a talented cast, each of whom enlivens their role with immediately recognisable traits – we know these people and we are affected by their behaviour. Set in presentday New York but based on the late nineteenth century novel by Henry James, the story is entirely focused on the impact made on Maisie

It was another brilliant Byron moment last Wednesday night wandering along Lawson St to come across the amazing Kyle Lionhart singing out the front of Mokha CafĂŠ. This is a regular gig as part of the live music from Tuesday to Sunday at Mokha. Started seven years ago by a couple of local guys with restaurant backgrounds Mokha aims to create a comfortable, relaxed, welcoming environment. Head chef Aaron Hasaart was drawn to Byron after a long stint in the skifields. ’The snow was becoming less appealing and I immediately fell in love with the lifestyle and beauty of Byron Shire. Like many touring chefs, I was drawn to the area in search of a sea change and a bit of fun. ’Years ago a South African head chef from a small village explained the importance of using local seasonal produce and this inspired me to become a chef. Byron Bay provides such great food variety; we are spoilt with the quality and freshness available.‘ Aaron describes the menu as modern Australian with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Mokha is open for all meals with an extensive all-day breakfast menu including daily specials. Their most popular breakfast dish is the Breakfast Burrito with its mouth-watering filling of scrambled eggs, bacon, swiss cheese, aioli, baby spinach and pumpkin with an inhouse tomato relish on the side. Sitting on the sidewalk taking in the sights of the Bay while grazing on a breakfast burrito is a very special way to start the day whatever time it is. For lunch and dinner Aaron’s favourite, and also the most popular dish on the menu, is the Seafood Paella. It’s cooked and served in a cast-iron skillet overflowing with fresh seafood

With heartfelt gratitude and love – Jane Enter.

PETS Well, almost... Every year many thousand unwanted cats and dogs are born to pets that haven’t been desexed. And sadly, most end up being put down. So please...

Mishka is a divine soul. She adores affection and is waiting to be snapped up by a new family. At 4 years young she is a beautiful & calm tabby girl with many years of love to give. To meet Mishka & her friends, visit the Cat Adoption Centre at 124 Dalley St, Mullumbimby.

Mid-life is no time to have a crisis. But that is what has happened to 6 year old Mikey. He once had a home, but that is mysteriously gone and he now waits for new human friends. Very comfortable with people and loves interaction. Friendly, open personality and quite gentle. He is still a little reserved with some of the other cats, but is settling well. A family cat who just needs a family. See his lovely markings on the web. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Open: Tues 2.30-4.30pm, Thurs 3-5pm, Sat 10-12 noon. Call AWL 6684 4070.

BRONCO (8 yrs) and his father ECHO (11 yrs) are lively little desexed male jack russell x’s. They have been together for the last 8 years so we want to rehome them together after their owner was admitted into care. They love the beach, love the car, love life! They are well behaved, do not dig and are friendly towards other dogs and children. If you can give Bronco and Echo a permanent, loving home please contact the Friends of the Pound Rehoming Centre on (07) 5524 8590 or Pam on 0421 017 461. Visit friendsofthepound.com to view other dogs and cats looking for a home.

Geckos give Byron the Full Toss in Shand Memorial final Brian Mollet

The grass-stained gladiators of the Shand series have been buffing their boxes, polishing their pads and coaxing out their inner athletes all winter for the right to be crowned the social cricket champions of the shire. The Grand Final is the day the dove of hope flicks into the flightpath of the eagle of destiny, and the Full-Tossers, assembled from the seething fleshpots of Byron by the assidious Ash, met the Geckos, apostles of St Seymour called to the field on a kind of yearly cricketing crusade. A flukey northerly fluttered the famous turf of Lomath Oval as Ash won the toss and asked the Geckos to bat. Ageing adolescent Adeha and bloodyminded Brian saw off the pacey Adam and Troy but Ash was chopping and changing the bowling and Richie’s dipping leggies took the first scalp with the score on 19.

Echo GM Simon Haslam demonstrates the style that the Geckos are renowned for during Sunday’s win against the Byron Bay Full Tossers in the Shand Memorial. Photo Tree Faerie

Dan (47) began waving his curvaceous handmade bat around like a baton, conducting the ball to all parts of the ground as the Geckos charged early. Christian took a double just before drinks including season top scorer James in a victory for science and rationalism over

the airy-fairy metaphors of English. After drinks the flying ponytail Anthony (35 n/o) mercilessly chastised the bowling and Simon was showing off his seventeen varieties of the pull shot. Plucky Ali was biffing the ball around and it looked like the Geckos were

Champion Louis is ace at tennis Story & photos Eve Jeffery

At just 14 years of age, Louis Clark has already been playing tennis for eight years and competing for more than a third of his life. A bit of a lone ranger, Louis spends his time at several clubs and benefits from the experience of more than one coach and a few training buddies. Louis recently won the Northern NSW Junior 14s Champion of Champions Tennis Tournament held in Inverell. This has led to his selection for the NSW State Titles in Sydney. Because of his win, Louis has also been invited to at-

tend the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in America for a six-week scholarship. Louis will travel to the US early

next year – this is a wonderful opportunity as these offers are usually more readily available to metropolitan children. Trained by coaches Ryan Kebblewhite of Pottsville and Mullumbimby-based tour player Stephen Gort, pictured, Louis spends about four hours a week training. He also plays cricket, soccer and golf but tennis is his first love. Louis also has clear ideas about his future. ‘I hope to go to college in America,’ he says. ‘I’d like to try to get into the pro circuit.’ Coach Stephen Gort says he has what it takes. ‘He’s got all the shots’, says Stephen. ‘Lots of shots I wish I had at his age. He has good technique that doesn’t break under pressure.’ Q For the full story and more photos visit Echonetdaily: echo.net.au/?p=64460.

on their way to a corpulent compilation of runs. Warhorse John (4–15) changed all that with a severe editing of the lower order to close the innings for 174 and sausages were munched with the fabled trophy up for grabs. High flyer Neil and Richie (30 n/o) gave the Toss-

ers a great start and it took a game-changing grab in the dazzling depths of backward square by the annoyingly effective Brian to halt Byron’s momentum. This brought big hitters Troy (32 n/o) and Jade to the crease and it looked as though the title was heading east into the sunrise as they tore great chunks off the required total like bull sharks hitting a whale carcass. Wily on field leader James had held back some of his best bowling however and wickets to himself, Dan, Anthony and Brian and tidy spells from Peter Wynn-Moylan and St Seymour had the pressure back on Byron with 42 needed off the last four overs. Christian was a revelation, taking aim at the skate park with some huge hits, batting partner Jamie followed suit and with two overs to bowl the Full-Tossers needed 22. Ali’s second last over was tidy, leaving 14 to score off the last six balls and the Geckos

Rams win

nearing panic in the field. Jamie took two off Dan’s first ball and swiped hard at the second, sending an arcing high ball down the ground where James, with an eye on the boundary cones a step behind him, pouched the catch. Christian swung big on the third ball and all eyes were on Trent as he plucked the Kookaburra from the sky on the long-on boundary to give Dan 3–20 and bring the Geckos home in a thrilling finish, their second Shand title. Nick Shand was lauded and toasted by his mate a very happy Pete Wynn-Moylan, and after the ceremonial lap of the oval in the back of a ute the players got down to some serious exaggeration of their prowess on and off the field, and all agreed the series is in good shape for next year. Thanks go to Laurie of the Court House Hotel and The Echo for their support all year.

FNC final

The Byron Bay Rams faced off againts the Lismore Thistles in both the Men’s Premier League and the Men’s Premier League Reserves on Saturday night at Oakes Oval in Lismore. At this end of the season no-one really loses and Lismore’s 3–1 win over Byron came after a great match. But it is great to hold the trophy aloft and the Rams’ Shaun Packham and captain Nick Baker did just that after their 2–1 win over the southern lads.

Buying into a strata scheme

A

strata scheme is a building or collection of buildings where individuals each own a small portion (a lot) but where there is also common property (eg external walls, windows, roof, driveways etc) which every owner shares ownership of. Strata schemes are, in effect, small communities where the activities and attitudes of residents can have a significant impact on the satisfaction and enjoyment of others. It is important for people to be aware of the responsibilities and obligations when owning a property in a strata scheme. One of the major differences between owning a house and owning a unit (known as a ‘lot’) in a strata scheme is that the external walls, the floor and roof do not usually belong to the lot owner. These areas are usually common property and the maintenance and repair of these parts of the building is usually the responsibility of the owners corporation. As it is common property, the lot owner is not able, without permission of the owners corporation, to alter or renovate these areas, or install services such as cable television. As a further example, a lot owner is not allowed to put an additional window in a common property wall without obtaining owners corporation approval. Before purchasing a strata lot, it is essential that the prospective buyer is clear on where the common property boundaries are. This information is available from the strata plan, which shows the layout of the strata scheme and the common property details. Close attention should be paid to items such as sliding doors leading to balconies, garage doors and balcony railings, as strata plans may differ on whether these items are part of the common property or not. It is recommended that expert advice be obtained if there is any uncertainty over common property boundaries.

‘It is important to be aware of the responsibilities and obligations in a strata scheme.’

Owners corporation and executive committee The owners corporation is the body made up by all the owners in the strata scheme. The owners corporation has an executive committee which can make many of the decisions on its behalf. The role of the owners corporation is to look after the business of the strata scheme. To carry out this role, the owners corporation must set up and keep an administrative fund (for day-to-day operational expenses) and a sinking fund (for longterm future expenditure). The owners corporation must estimate how much money is needed each year for the funds to cover all the expenses and needs of the strata scheme. The levy amount to be paid by owners is decided at each annual general meeting by a majority vote. All levies must be worked out based on the unit entitlements of each lot. Levies are usually paid every three months. An owners corporation has the same type of expenditure as a conventional householder. There are

MAX EXPOSURE

council rates, water and electricity charges for common areas, building and public liability insurance and repairs and maintenance of common areas. In a strata scheme, there is also additional expenditure such as workers compensation insurance, building valuations, the resolution of any disputes that may arise within the scheme, and any other matters related to the running of the scheme. Lot owners must be aware that they will be required to make regular contributions to the owners corporation to cover the maintenance and administration of the strata scheme. Owners should pay close attention to the quality and finishes of a building as everything the scheme has to offer must be maintained eg swimming pools, lifts, tennis courts, saunas etc.

What should I do before signing a contract? You should get professional advice about the complexities involved in buying property. If you are interested in buying a strata unit, it is essential you look at the records of the owners corporation and know

Buying ‘off the plan’

Sometimes strata units are advertised for sale even before the building has been constructed. The design of the building and sketches of its final appearance may be included in advertising material well before occupation is possible. Purchasing a strata unit under these circumstances is commonly known as ‘buying off the plan’. Usually a contract to purchase is signed, but the date for completion of the contract will not be until the building is completed and the strata plan is registered. The purchaser Q Adapted from usually pays a deposit (perhaps ten www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au.

Sometimes your solicitor will arrange this for you, but not always. There are companies that specialise in inspecting the books and they know what to look for. You can inspect the records yourself (upon payment of the necessary fees) and the owners corporation must make these records available.

per cent of the agreed price of the unit) and the balance is paid when the contract is ‘settled’ upon the building’s completion. There may be substantial demand for apartment accommodation in popular areas of NSW and it is sometimes easy for developers to market such strata units months before building work is completed. There are a number of issues that people need to be aware of when buying off the plan, as they may effectively be entering into contractual arrangements without the customary benefit of being able to view and assess the finished product. The contract The conditions of the contract should be closely checked. Legal advice should be obtained regarding the benefits or restrictions provided by the terms of the contract.

The NSW government has gone gung-ho in its attempts to protect people from taking substances which may have a psychoactive effect. Unfortunately the legislation parliament passed last week has holes in it ‘through which you could drive a meth lab on wheels’ – see story page 13. We’re all for protecting people from bad substances but it would seem more relevant to spend more time educating people not to buy drugs online or from people they don’t trust. And gosh, youngsters, don’t take drugs to large festivals – you’re bound to get a police dog nose in your crutch. And for those wishing to educate themselves on the effects of the nastier substances, the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of NSW has a wealth of resources at http:// ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au.

One of the more freaky substances must be propertydevelopment-induced hubris. The developer’s artficial high seems to affect cabinet ministers as well but fortunately last week NSW planning minister Brad (the) Hazzard stepped back from ramming through the new state planning laws. Hazzard admitted listening to public outrage and has changed the upcoming legislation so that councils will be able to modify the proposed statewide codes to better reflect their local area. Land zonings, appeal rights and local and state heritage protections will also continue as they are, he said. We’ll have to see it to believe it. Q Q Q Q

Photographer Sally F Greene reports: ‘Encouraging to see this little one crossing Beachcomber Drive, Byron Bay. Hastily climbed neighbour’s bangalow palm. I am also informed one was sitting in the middle of Bangalow Road the other night. So, look out for koalas – they are on the move.’
