Residents in Fingal take on vandals Murray Simpson
Fingal Head activists took the fight against feral four-wheel-drive vehicles to the streets over Easter and spoke to over 400 drivers. One driver turned up with a whole skinned sheep and a tray-load of wood intent on a barbecue in the grand manner, much to the horror of fire-conscious locals. A consortium of local groups including the dune carers, the residents’ association, the van park owners’ organisation and the Aboriginal land council banded together to mount the weekend operation. All are concerned with the havoc wrought on an environmentally sensitive area and the dangers posed to life and limb by beach vehicle activity. A check-point was manned at the start of the gravel road that runs along the spit and volunteers handed out information brochures Luis Feliu to drivers. Illegal 4WD tracks were also blocked off. A hard rain fell on the Bluesfest site at Tyagarah south of the Tweed on Tuesday as the 22nd Ninety per cent of drivers annual East Coast Blues Festival wrapped up, supportive and understanding with legend Bob Dylan closing the event with his second performance in two days. ‘In all we spoke to nearly 800 people and 90 Thousands of fans crammed into and outside per cent of them were supportive and under- the big tent for the gig but many who could standing,’ said Fingal Dunecare’s Kay Bolton. hardly get a glimpse of the superstar were left ‘They realised something had to be done to disappointed, especially as the big screens outcurb the destruction done by a few. side the tent were switched off and no close-up ‘People had stories of close encounters with shots were allowed, which Dylan apparently 4WDs including near misses with surfers walk- insisted on.

Festival director Peter Noble said this year’s festival would be very hard to beat. ‘We’ve been blessed with good weather, we’ve had a very peaceful and happy event, and we’ve had the planet’s finest artists delivering incredible music for six days and nights straight.
True to our roots ‘Bluesfest is proud to be a family event that remains artistically, musically and ethnically diverse. We’ve grown bigger as we’ve evolved to appeal to multiple generations of music lovers, but our success comes from staying true to our roots and loyal to our many patrons who’ve been with us since day one. ‘At Bluesfest, the feeling is a genuinely aware, globally united, anti-mainstream spirit and attitude – the musicians who play here get it – and the audience definitely gets it.

During the six-day event, police from Tweed/Byron and Richmond local area commands, as well as the dog squad and officers brought in from other areas kept an eye on the event and its thousands of patrons. Police said they conducted 315 personal searches, with 146 drug dog detections resulting in 128 cannabis cautions being issued. Sixteen people were given court attendance notices for drug related offences, with most drugs seized being cannabis and a small amount of amphetamine. Superintendent Stuart Wilkins said there were only a handful of minor anti-social incidents resulting in seven people issued with court attendance notices.

rare beach-stone curlews. ‘Unfortunately a number of illegal 4WDs have spoilt Letitia Spit for everyone,’ said the acting CEO of the Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land
Council, Leweena Williams. ‘There’s been illegal off-road driving, chopping down trees, dumping rubbish, lighting illegal fires, illegal camping, unrestrained dogs and abusive behaviour,’ she said. ‘Walkers are very welcome to come and enjoy this special area and we hope it becomes a safe place for wildlife lovers, fishermen and families.’
Fingal ‘easy fun on the weekend’ Fingal has been billed as a bonzer spot to let rip in a beach buggy by at least one prominent 4WD website. A posting on the popular 4x4 Earth Australia site from ‘Soroz’ says Fingal is a handy spot for some fun. ‘This is just small sand tracks and a little mud, the sand can get pretty deep in some places but it’s some easy fun on the weekend,’ he says. ‘I’ve been here a fair few times as I live close and it’s good fun.’
However, another correspondent called Hogo80 questions whether beach driving is allowed. ‘The tracks that lead to the river on the left are signposted. I would advise not going in there without a permit, or otherwise expect consequences if you get caught!’ Fingal Dunecare’s Kay Bolton said the promotion of Fingal as a desirable 4WD spot is a major headache.
Councillors back function centre plan Murray Simpson
A bid to build a function centre in the depressed South Murwillumbah precinct has been thrown a lifeline despite objections from council officers. The function centre featuring broad timber decks facing the river on the corner of River and Stafford Streets first surfaced before council in December last year when planning staff recommended it be refused on the grounds of insufficient car spaces. But the council deferred the matter to give the applicant a chance to address the areas of concern.
Planning director advises refusal Back before the council last week, planning director Vince Connell said once again calculation of car spaces was an issue and it should be refused. But Cr Joan van Lieshout said the applicants were young people ready to have a go and anyone ready to invest in a rundown corner of the town should be given every support. ‘Car spaces are not such an issue these days,’ she said. ‘I can assure we’re not go-
ing to need all of them. People these days take cabs or have designated drivers.’ However, Cr Dot Holdom said she could not support the application because of its impact on what was essentially a residential area, although it is zoned commerce and trade. ‘I’ve got sufficient experience in the food industry to
know you can never cram enough sardines on the dance floor,’ she said. Despite her objections the council passed a motion from Cr Warren Polglase supporting the application in principle and requesting that a report be prepared outlining conditions for consideration at the council meeting to be
held in May. The motion was passed 5-2 with Crs Holdom and Katie Milne opposing. The function centre is expected to cost $960,000. The two-storey structure will feature large deck areas front and back and includes a commercial kitchen, bar, dining areas and office.

Cabarita beachfront projects unpopular An independent review of Cabarita Beach residents’ vision for their village has found overwhelming opposition to a planned caravan park and residential subdivision at its southern gateway. The review also finds it ‘disturbing’ that residents feel powerless to impact on local and state planning decisions. The review follows recent public consultation over a contentious 200-unit caravan park and 54-lot subdivision on Crown land south of Norries Headland which the state
Anzac tribute
government’s Land and Planning Management Authority (LPMA) and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserves Trust (TCHPRT) have jointly proposed. The two developments alone would change the face of the largely unspoilt southern beachfront precinct. Dr Kerrie Foxwell-Norton, a Griffith University Centre for Cultural Research academic engaged for the review by the Cabarita Beach/Bogangar Residents Association, said some residents were keen to consider other development options for the southern dunes such as
bush camping and an education and research centre. ‘These findings support those of the LPMA’s public submission process which also revealed overwhelming opposition to the South Precinct Development currently under consideration,’ Dr FoxwellNorton said.
Pro: 21 Con: 467 Residents’ spokesman Ashley Baldry said that during that consultation, 356 residents objected to the caravan park development, 111 objected to the residential-estate development while only 21 submis-
sions were in favour of either development. Mr Baldry said it was now ‘irrefutable that there is not only overwhelming community opposition to both the caravan park and residential estate developments in the Cabarita South Precinct but that there is no significant support for these projects either’. ‘This is despite the bullying tactics that Tweed Shire Council took against the executive of the residents association for releasing “confidential” information that showed the true extent of the developer’s

Council tree ruling ‘favours developer’ Tweed Shire Council has refused to allow Cabarita Beach Dunecare volunteers to plant hundreds of trees for National Tree Day in an area earmarked for a controversial caravan park development. The rejection by council general manager Mike Rayner has outraged the locals who have carried out dune regeneration and plantings on Crown land across the road from Boganar Public School for the past two years. Mr Rayner told the Dunecare group that the plantings would be inappropriate be-

cause the area proposed for the planting of 1,200 trees was part of the southern development precinct, in which a controversial 200-unit tourist park is planned to be built. In a reply to the dunecare committee, Mr Rayner said that though the plan for the caravan park had not yet been endorsed by council, development ‘may well occur on the site and therefore tree planting there was potentially ‘in conflict’ with the locality plan. But Cabarita Beach Dunecare co-ordinator Ashley Baldry said it appeared the decision was made ‘to suit a developer and not the local community’.
‘I don’t understand how this could happen because the sites for 2009 and 2010 were selected with approval and funding from Tweed Shire Council,’ he said. ‘Also, the Tweed Coast Holiday Park Reserve Trust (TCHPRT), which wants to develop the caravan park, claims that this land is degraded so they should be allowed to bulldoze it to build their caravan park. ‘But the TCHPRT is a commercial arm of the council, so it is worrying that council would refuse permission to a volunteer community group that is working to regenerate this area,’ he said.

Dirt-bike track plan gets thumbs down Murray Simpson
Cane growers have crushed trail bike riders’ hopes of a home of their own by rejecting plans for a dedicated track on cane land off Eviron Road near Condong. Two months ago the Tweed Shire Council voted to open negotiations with the Cane Growers Association to make land available for dirt track riders. The site is owned by the council’s waste fund and is currently the scene of a Quirk’s quarry operation. Part of the site has been used by a cane growing sharefarmer in an arrangement for the past ten years. But the cane growers have unanimously rejected the proposal. In a letter to the council general manager Mike Rayner, the district secretary of the Tweed River branch of the NSW Cane Growers Association John Makepeace said the scheme had been rejected outright for a number of reasons. He said the loss of land would be a blow to the viability of the cane industry. He added that access to the site was limited and with harvesting going on seven days a week there was a real danger of accidents with a lot of bike people milling round.
Mr Makepeace also said the Condong Mill was negotiating a long-term lease of the proposed land ‘ensuring the site remains under sugar cane production’. The cane grower’s stand has put an end to the motorbike association’s long-running bid for the site. The association tried nearly four years ago to get a track on nearby bushland. But this was quashed by the
then council administrators following complaints from neighbours and claims the noise would disturb mourners at the nearby Tweed Valley Lawn Cemetery. At February’s council meeting, Cr Barry Longland said there was still an issue of noise for the cemetery and he could not support the proposal. But Cr Warren Polglase said the bike riders had been hunt-
ed from place to place for ten years and the council should be prepared to provide a facility for what was a well-monitored association. The council last week accepted a recommendation from its director of community resources David Oxenham that the dirt track idea not be pursued and that tenders be called to lease the land for cane sharefarming.

Council approves downsized museum extension Murraty Simpson
Murwillumbah museum’s extension project has finally got the green light from the Tweed Shire Council but it will have to settle for a heavily chopped back version of what was originally promised. The council has approved a single-storey extension of 580m2 – well short of the 715m2 two-storey extension originally approved by the council back in July 2008. ‘We’ve got the money for the single-storey option so let’s go for it,’ said Cr Joan van Lieshout. ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.’ ‘Yes, but this bird in the hand’s got to fly on one wing,’ lamented Cr Barry Longland, who has campaigned long on behalf of a loyal band of museum volunteers. The economy-sized extension is costed at $2.6 million compared with a $4.8 million
estimate for the two-storey version. The council flirted with the idea of deferring a decision once again on the off-chance they could glean further funding under the Regional Development Australia fund, of which former mayor and museum supporter Max Boyd is a board member. But Cr Longland said there was enormous competition from all councils for limited funds at the disposal of the RDAF and the prospect of a $2 million windfall from that quarter was remote indeed. The motion for a deferral was lost and the council voted 5-2 to approve the one-storey option with Crs Longland and Katie Milne voting against. The council was under some pressure to make a decision as a $1 million grant for the project under the Better Regions funding program was due to lapse on June 30 this year. The museum saga dates back
to the council’s 2004 memorandum of understanding with the combined historical societies involving a commitment by the council under its sevenyear plan to a purpose-built museum at Tweed Heads and the extension to the Murwillumbah museum. So far the multi-million dollar Tweed Heads project planned for the top of Flagstaff Hill remains in the pipe-dream stage. Council director of cultural services David Oxenham said the one-storey option was the minimum necessary to ensure it could reach regional museum standards and care properly for exhibits. Mr Oxenham said the sale of the Wollumbin Street car park in Murwillumbah would help fund the project. He said the compromise solution might be interpreted as a breach of the memorandum of understanding. ‘But there is no specific re-
quirement in the MOU [memorandum of understanding] to build a two-storey extension at Murwillumbah. However, it is specifically mentioned in the adopted Tweed River Regional Museum strategic plan.’

and other birds were found dead in the manmade lake as well as at the Club Banora golf course lake, with the fatal disease botulism suspected as the cause of death. A state agency spokesman told The Echo botulism in wildlife usually occurred when a body of water they frequented or ingested from had become stagnant as a result of decaying vegetable matter. This week it was revealed that Tweed Shire Council and the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA), which is overseeing the construction of the Sexton Hill bypass of the Pacific Highway, have been involved in talks over the tidal gates which the RTA had closed for the roadworks. The closure is believed to have caused a radical fall in salinity as a result of the lack of tidal flushing of the lake. A resident told The Echo that when the gates were closed a few months ago, it left lake Kimberley vulnerable to stagnation. A council spokesperson said council was trying to restore the lake to pre-bypass conditions and had ‘now reached agreement’ with the RTA. ‘While Lake Kimberley is a predominantly fresh water body, the operation of the floodgates prior to the current works encouraged tidal ingress from the Tweed River over many years,’ the spokeswoman said. ‘While these saline flows were not significant in terms of volume, the partly saline lake environment resulted in better water quality and reduced weed infestation compared to other fresh water drainage systems in Banora Point.

‘Council had been concerned that the current works, specifically the upgrade of the culvert system under the Pacific Highway to Lake Kimberley and replacement of the floodgates, had not included the retention of tidal inflows to preserve the pre-development water quality in the Lake. ‘The degradation of water quality in Lake Kimberley is a matter of considerable community and council concern.’
Protest meeting Last week, a group of around 80 residents held a protest meeting where a spokesperson from the RTA said the gates would be partially opened over the Easter break. The RTA told the residents that the existing tidal gates would be replaced as part of
the upgrade and that it was project approval by the state government that had ‘required these replacement gates to be closed’. The RTA said it would liaise with the Banora Point Upgrade Alliance and council to partially open the gates ‘as requested and will liaise with council and other government agencies to reach a long-term solution for the Lake Kimberley tidal gates’. A resident told media the locals were concerned about the implications of the gates remaining closed. ‘All the canals in the area feed into this lake, including from behind the golf course. We don’t want it to be a holding pool full of the grass that grows on other lakes around the area, and mosquitoes that can only be flushed out if there is a flood.’

Cabarita LEP to be fast-tracked Murray Simpson
Struggling businesses in Cabarita are expected to get a boost with the fast-tracking of the area’s local environment plan (LEP). A push by former mayor Warren Polglase to bring the LEP forward was passed by the Tweed Shire Council last week bringing it into line with other Tweed coast villages Pottsville and Hastings Point. ‘The LEP will provide certainty for investors in the area,’ said Cr Polglase. ‘Business sure needs stimulating there and if traders are prepared to give it a go then we should be behind them.’ Cr Joan van Lieshout said Cabarita’s LEP would provide a vital development framework. ‘People will know where they can build shops and locate supermarkets, where they can build units and houses and so on. It provides certainty where it doesn’t exist now,’ she said. Town planning consultant Adam Smith of Planit Consulting said the Bogangar development control plan (DCP), which incorporates Cabarita, had been adopted by the council in 2007 but had not been actioned.

‘It raised a number of rezoning issues and other matters which have remained on the back-burner for some time and were starting to get a bit long in the tooth. Bringing these matters forward and establishing an LEP provides a very important planning tool. Pottsville, for example, has a very good LEP,’ he said. Mayor Kevin Skinner said it was vital that Cabarita, and other villages such as Chinderah, get an LEP up and running. ‘Chinderah has had a motorway pushed through it creating a host of anomalous zoning issues.’ The council voted 4-3 to fasttrack Cabarita with Crs Dot Holdom, Barry Longland and Katie Milne opposed.

was also a rite of passage which not only transformed Australia into a real nation, but also altered the genetic structure of the inhabitants. They all became endowed with hereditary qualities of courage, sacrifice and above all mateship, something which had apparently never existed anywhere on the planet before Gallipoli in April, 1915. Moreover it could not be replicated; it
But is all this fun and frivolity a touch superficial, even profane? Are we missing the true meaning behind these sacred mysteries? Well, probably, but you’d have to say that the signals coming from our leaders, both spiritual and temporal, are a trifle confusing.

The event gave rise to an annual festival celebrated with football, gambling and Victoria Bitter. But the third myth is the one that has caused the most widespread rejoicing: not some legend from the past, but the present day fairytale of the poor but virtuous maiden marrying her real-life prince. Well, actually Kate Middleton was never actually poor, and given that a medically witnessed certificate of virginity is not longer considered essential for the brides of the house of Windsor, the rest of the description cannot be guaranteed either. But the occasion is still to be celebrated in the best traditions of Hans Christian Andersen and the brothers Grimm. We commoners have been dancing in the streets in anticipation, and when the union is at last consummated (actually it probably has been, many times, but not officially) joy will be unconfined.
convenient segue. They were a trifle unconvincing about why an omnipotent and benevolent deity, having supposedly forgiven humanity, should continue to send fire, flood, plague and tempest to kill innocent children, but they were quite sure we should rise above such tragedies with courage and, of course, mateship. The politicians cut straight to the chase: in good times and bad Australians stick together and see things through. Yes, but see what through? And why? Well, just trust us – or rather trust the opinion polls and the focus groups who told us what they thought you would trust. Not a lot of courage there. More like the donkey than Simpson. But fair enough, perhaps, because there doesn’t seem to be a lot of sacrifice around either. From the miners who refuse to pay a fair share of tax, through the pubs and clubs who can’t accept a reduction in their profits from machines delib-
erately rigged to rob the public, to the tobacco companies who cannot abide restrictions on the right to sell products which they know will kill their customers, the corporate sector is hardly enthusiastic about the idea of mateship. And the public, by and large, is understandably cynical; while they flock to the dawn service, they are deserting the idea of paying a single red cent to fund any effective moves against climate change, which has the potential to do more damage to their descendants than the campaign in the Dardanelles ever did. Courage, sacrifice and mateship might be splendid subjects for sermons and political oratory, but when it comes to putting them into practice neither the preachers nor the politicians apply them to themselves, and their audiences are taking the hint. So if courage, sacrifice and mateship seem to have gone missing, is there any sign of genuine altruism around? Well, fortunately yes: our third public festival provides it. Kate Middleton is a pretty, talented and apparently sane young woman, yet she is prepared to become a member of the most scrutinised and dysfunctional family in the world, simply to provide the rest of us with a bit of a party. She must know what she is getting into, and how little chance she has of surviving it. Yet she is prepared to face near certain personal destruction, against overwhelming odds, to keep alive a moribund tradition, which, for all its faults, provides a better spectacle than Quo Vadis and Gallipoli combined. Kate Middleton, we salute you: in your heroism the tradition of Calvary and Suvla Bay lives on.

Controlling pain
www.tweedecho.com.au
No, Mike, the jury is in According to the man himself (and based on a recent survey), the Tweed Shire Council general manager Mike Rayner is one of just four in every 100 Australians who deny that climate change is manmade (The Echo, April 21). Readers can ponder which councillors comprise the other three. This suggests that the executive of TSC is unable or unwilling to see the big picture reality of a planet in crisis (and our shire as a microcosm of global warming and declining biodiversity) and is therefore not equal to the task of proper administration. Mike Rayner should talk to the residents of Tuvalu or the Torres Strait Islands about rising sea levels, or listen to what CSIRO, the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian and American Academics of Science, research scientists in our leading universities, NASA scientists and the vast majority of authorities representing the host of countries comprising the United Nations have to say
I see Corinne Pennay, a representative for the Christian Democrat Party, is against euthanasia. Corinne should know that not everyone when their time is up just passes out and dies, as always there are some who suffer badly up until they die. It is hard to understand why Corinne believes God would want these people to keep suffering until death. Corinne should realise that God is the reason we have anaesthetists who are specially trained doctors and an important part of their work is to control pain for those who are having surgical operations. That means they can control the pain for the dying. That would help them if they want to pass away peacefully without the fear of pain. If Corinne disagrees then she will have to blame God for allowing us to have those spe- greenie, at least by most people. What’s Dot got against koacially trained doctors. las? Why would the head of J B Gray Pottsville the group charged with saving them vote against it? This could add months to the process. Dot against koalas Frankly, I am very puzzled.

before claiming that ‘the jury is still out on climate change’. Only Christian fundamentalists like Cardinal George Pell, Tony Abbott, and Barnaby Joyce and (of course) those in, funded by or dependent on the extractive fossil fuel industries, cling to the bigoted belief of ‘denial’ or ‘scepticism’. The conservative sceptics in council could even seek advice from their/our own environmental scientists, or the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF), which is funded by government to inform all three tiers of government. One wonders why council administrators are paid so generously when their belief systems are so last century. Or why so few council decision makers have any relevant expertise. Or why they refuse to take expert advice. Lack of leadership in creative, nature-based, sustainable town planning and architecture, continual road and riverside mowing, flailing and
low behaviour what the media deem best for their ratings? It reminds me of the abusive town meetings that was the community consultation process associated with the water buy back/Murray Darling management process. Were those meetings the ‘book burnings’ and abuse portrayed in the media or were some thoughtful questions posed and informed answers given? From the coverage I saw, repeated over and over again on all channels, I was again ashamed to be an Australian! If these frightened, self-interested people are indicative of the average Australian, fair enough. Maybe howl the loudest, whinge the longest, cry the poorest is the way to go. It certainly gets you media coverage, worked for the poor old ‘I’m down to my last 100 billion’ mining lobby.

poisoning, futile beach enrichment, one-sided support for twentieth century style developments, big dams and centralised essential services are just a few of the more obvious examples of a tragic lack of imagination and clinging to the same old, same old. Why do people around Adelaide and the Coorong (SA) have such a different attitude to water than those on Cubby Station (Qld)? What is the contribution of the Tweed in carbon pollution to Tweed Coastal erosion? Why would overseas tourists visit the Tweed when it is probably cheaper to visit Bali or Fiji? What are we doing to conserve our natural heritage in terms of the total budget? Why is so much (50 per cent) spent on water and sewerage? What are the alternatives? Why spend a million dollars annually on business welfare? Where is the vision? Or can it only be (big) business as usual? Hop E Hopkins

Polglase’s problem
The psychological problems afflicting Councillor Polglase apparently caused by ‘45 years of being told what to do by his wife’, is no excuse for his sexist remarks to Katie Milne at the April council meeting. It’s a pity that after 45 years of instructions, Mrs Polglase has not been able to instil any manners into the hapless councillor. Katie Milne is in the chamber as a councillor, the position of councillor is not gender specific, and she holds that office after receiving considerably more support from the voters than the mumbling, incoherent Wozza who can be observed at most council meetings waffling on about one thing or another that he apparently knows much less about than he would have us believe. continued overleaf

Katie, however, was a little naive to appeal to the chairman Kevin Skinner, to censure Cr Polglase’s ignorant sexist remarks, seeing as Kevin is only on council by default with the help of his two pro-development buddies. The general manager, who, despite the secrecy surrounding the terms of his employment, presumably has some business acumen must leave the chamber after each council meeting shaking his head in dismay. However, he must face the fact that until the three clowns are removed from centre ring council meetings will continue to perform as an apathetic circus act.
Council playing Canute And that after locals had been warning for 12 months it was going to happen. With the state lifesaving titles looming, along came council armed with their collective IQ and around 100 grand of our money, always a dangerous combination. A dredge, a rock wall and the latest high-tech sandbags were urgently deployed and the titles completed on a, largely, artificial ‘beach’. As most locals had predicted, the anti-erosion measures
proved as effective as botox on an Egyptian mummy. In just three nights before Easter, the sea reclaimed her territory and then some, with the new erosion extending further inshore than before council’s woeful Canute impersonation.

If there was ever proof needed that nature is both smarter and stronger than Tweed Shire Council, not that that places it in a minority, the current erosion fiasco at Kingscliff ’s Faux Park puts it beyond argument. It took around five months for completely normal seas and tides to erode the beach between the Lifesaving Club and Cudgen Creek, taking with it most of the dune, a large section of roadway and many iconic Pandanus trees.

A modest proposal
I’m going to talk about money. If money was not invented what would the world be like? I imagine everybody would be working together to achieve their basic needs, with food, shelter and love for their fellow man. I watch all of the marketing hype, the stock market and news, which reverts back mainly to our basic needs, but all I see these days is greed! greed! and even more greed! They are fighting over land or oil and are always trying to outdo each other. We have turned into a most wasteful society and are constantly raping our land of all its natural resources and not giving anything back. The balance is gone and mother nature is constantly reminding us that we need to give back, so that the balance is right. So all I can say is, get rid of money, bring back the balance and learn all over again how to care, share and love. It’s the only way, for this is key to humanity. Katrina Wilkin

The ‘Try a Trade’ section is highly popular with visitors sponsored by Northern Rivers Group Training and Richmond Tweed and Clarence Council Cooperation. Organiser Ashley Burke-Smith comments: ‘This Expo is a great opportunity for young people to access professional careers advice from a vast range of people. The Try a Trade area in particular gives young people a chance for a “hands-on” introduction to a variety of trades as well as an opportunity to talk to local trades people and apprentices about what it’s really like getting into these trades.’
A firm fixture on the schools’ calendar, the Careers Expo is attended by students from years 9 to 12, from Grafton to Tweed Heads. Organiser Ashley Burke-Smith comments:

SUMMERLAND ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS is a family owned and operated local business. We do a range of services which include solar hot water systems, solar power systems and metal roofing. Summerland Energy Efficient Products has a range of systems including electric-boosted solar systems and gas-boosted solar systems as well as flat collectors and evacuated-tube technology. We also have a wide range of tank sizes from a 250L to a 400L to fit most people’s needs. Home-owners needing to replace their electric hot water system next year will be required to install an environmentally friendly alternative. These alternatives including a solar water heater, heat pump or five-star gas water heater. When replacing an electric hot water system, eligible households can still claim the $1,000 federal rebate for solar water heater systems and $600 federal rebate for a heat pump. Depending on future levels of demand, eligible households will still be able to access the Rebate in the 2010–11 and 2011–12 Financial Years. There is also a state rebate available. Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Australian home, accounting for around 23 per cent of household emissions*. By installing a Solar Wizard Hot Water
System, you’ll not only be lessening your environmental impact through reducing carbon emissions, but you will also spend less on heating water which results in a reduction in your energy bills. Replacing an electric hot water system with a solar water heater reduces the energy used to heat your water by up to 50–90 per cent. Depending on the system you choose, your household water usage and the location of your home this will also give savings on your energy bills. You will also receive the RECs rebate which is a rebate that can be taken off as a point-of-sale rebate. Summerland Energy Efficient Products also has its own discount for householders for a limited time only. If you would like any information on our products or a free quote please call us on 07 5524 2110.
EUCA – THE LAUNDRY POWDER OF THE FUTURE We hear a lot about the price of living going up, gas, water and power. There are lots of ways to hide price increase in some of our everyday products too, often not considered. An example of this is the humble laundry powder. Have you noticed the 2X concentrate phenomenon? It’s resulted in the average size of laundry powders now being 500gms, half the size of what they were for the same price. Don’t be fooled: this IS a price increase. Sure the manufacturers say they are more concentrated BUT they still contain fillers. The top five brands that make up about 90 per cent of laundry powders sold contain fillers, petrochemical surfactants and synthetic perfumes, not good for the environment or people with skin or bronchial sensitivities. So what options are there? Budds Mitre 10 are onto a brand called Euca; it’s Aussie made and owned. Euca contains NO fillers, synthetic perfumes or petrochemical surfactants and has been independently tested to be most suitable for grey water use and lowest in all elements associated with environmental degradation. Budds Mitre 10 will let you try Euca before you buy. Just drop in and ask for a sample. 81 Wollumbin St Murwillumbah.

CANNABIS LAW REFORM RALLY AND GATHERING 29 APRIL - 1 MAY In March 1993, after a decade of raids and arrests, and a particularly intensive recent period of random street searches, arrests and rough treatment, a spontaneous demonstration erupted, and marched to the police station, pelting it with eggs and toilet paper. Nimbin Hemp Embassy members decided to hold the first MardiGrass, a peaceful protest in a nonconfrontational atmosphere, that ordinary people could comfortably attend, on May 1, 1993. The MardiGrass Organising Body (MOB) was formed to manage the protest rally and consists entirely of volunteers. The intention is to hold a rally every year until prohibition ends. ‘This is our nineteenth consecutive Rally for Cannabis Law Reform. We vowed to rally every year on the first Sunday in May until we are no longer criminals for using cannabis. The recent Nimbin police raids have highlighted their need to reconsider how their limited resources are spent. For over four decades they have been picking on the pot smokers of the north coast with very expensive operations which have made little or no difference other than to create more young people with criminal records for life. Building more jails is a primitive approach to what is obviously a health and social issue.’

Like What ? Tim and Jean were announced to the world when Triple J unearthed them in late 2009 with a track called Come Around, a song they jammed out and recorded quickly in an early morning session at home. Come Around soon had major record labels calling from around the globe, flying Tim and Jean to America and putting forward recording deals. Blogs and websites like Cool Hunter started listing them as one of the most exciting acts of the year. Throughout 2010 Tim and Jean were constantly on the road: performing at Future Music, Splendour in the Grass, Southbound, Laneway, Fat as Butter, Field Day and The Falls Festival, as well as touring with La Roux, Art V Science, Operator Please, Two Door Cinema Club, Franz Ferdinand and Moby. In February 2011 they toured with the Good Vibrations Festival where Erykah Badu singled them out as one her favourite acts on the tour. Tim and Jean have a lot of air miles ahead this year with the release of their debut album Like What and an

Kooii's debut album Beads on a String (2005) is a landmark Brisbane release that captures their unique sound in a much-treasured collection of songs. Recorded in a humble West End studio, it showcases that brilliance of both the producer Paul Bromley (Beautiful Girls) and chief songwriter, Peter Hunt. It is an album of timeless quality that continues to generate interest and respect for Kooii, both locally and internationally. Tracks from the album have received airplay in the US, Brazil, UK, Canada, France and community stations across Australia. The album made the top 20 and scored rotation on more than a dozen college stations in the US. They have appeared at festivals across Australia including The Woodford Folk Festival, The Kuranda Reggae Festival, Reggaetown , Valley Fiesta and the band have toured up and down the East Coast alongside Blue King Brown and more. They were included as part of a compilation for the March 07 edition of the Rolling Stone magazine, featuring prominent Australian artists who have been a part of the John Butler Seed program. Shout out for them at the Currumbin Soundlounge Friday.

HUGH CORNWELL COOLANGATTA HOTEL SUNDAY
Introducing Bobby Alu: Pacific grooves, afro rhythms, smooth harmony and good vibes. A recognised drummer and percussionist for artists all over Australia, Bobby now also fronts his own grooveheavy solo project bringing island soul, sweet songs, percussion and good times. With six years’ touring and performing as a drummer all over Australia, New Zealand and Canada, he brings a wealth of experience to the solo project he has always nurtured. A celebration of his love for music and his Samoan heritage, his debut self-titled release brings a fresh name and sound to the roots music scene. With the hype already building before the album’s release, Bobby immediately received national radio play. He won a Qsong award with song One to Wait and celebrated memorable performances at Island Vibe and Woodford Folk Festival. Encouragement from fans and fellow musicians saw Bobby Alu finally grace the stage in 2010 with a collective of the tastiest roots musicians Queensland has to offer. 2011 looks exciting with a debut local tour, single release and an appearance at the famous BluesFest, Byron Bay.

Kooii can ya hear me? Kooii rises from Brisbane and shines a vibe of the city and its surrounds. Its music strikes a chord with young and old. Kooii began some seven years ago as a duo with the intention to sing simple songs and harmonise. The music still manifests this but reaches further into levels created by the mix of musicians now in the group. TIM AND JEAN COOLANGATTA HOTEL Songwriter, singer and trumpet player, Peter Hunt, THURSDAY provides the seeds of most of the group’s songs. He is joined by Dom Hede (drums), Tom Hinchliffe (bass), Lachlan Mitchell (guitar), Conan Griffiths (guitar) and Darcy McNulty (sax). Together they create the group’s distinctive flow and sound that reflects the members’ love for reggae, jazz, African and folk music.

Hugh Cornwell Former Stranglers front man Hugh Cornwell will tour Australia in May this year. The show will feature two sets – the first will feature a collection of Stranglers’ hits and classic solo material, with the second featuring The Stranglers’ seminal debut album Rattus Norvegicus IV being performed in its entirety for the first time in Australia. Cornwell is one of the UK’s finest songwriting talents and accomplished live performers – the original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in the Stranglers, Hugh, enjoyed massive UK and European success with ten hit albums and 32 top forty singles, etching himself into the UK’s musical psyche with songs such as Peaches, No More Heroes, Golden Brown, Always the Sun, Grip, Nice N Sleazy, Duchess and No Mercy, all of which will be performed on this tour. One of the biggest hits, Golden Brown, saw renewed popularity when it was featured in Guy Ritchie’s 2000 blockbuster, Snatch, as did Peaches being the opening sequence in full for the classic Sexy Beast. Hugh Cornwell has released eight solo albums, most recently the acclaimed Hooverdam, produced and mixed in ToeRag Studios by Liam Watson (known for the Grammy winning White Stripes’ album Elephant). See Cornwell at the Coolangatta Hotel Sunday.

the arrival of mother Mandy Nolan
My mother is coming today. At 43 just the thought of my mother coming to visit sends me into a cleaning frenzy. For the past three days I have been vacuuming up cobwebs, bleaching the floorboards and changing sheets. I even washed the dog’s bed. It’s not like I’ll be offering that to my Mum for sleeping for the duration, although it’s so fricking clean she could give it a run…but she’s a dog owner herself and she’s sure to notice I’ve been neglecting my pooch. I’ve soaked the baby’s bath toys in bleach…and the shower curtain. I’ve even contemplated soaking the baby. I’ve got down on my hands and knees with the head off the vacuum cleaner and sucked up weird crack grime. When it comes to this kind of mission my motto is, if it fits in the head of the vacuum then it gets sucked up. There’s something satisfying about the hard clinking rattle of unseen objects in the plastic neck of the Dyson as they’re whisked into oblivion. For two noisy hours my life has binary simplicity: things that fit in the vacuum hole, and things that don’t. Fortunately, unlike lost socks, penises are permanently attached to their owners so they go onto the list of ‘things that don’t’. Don’t walk naked from the shower with that thing dangling out because I will give it a go. I’m a cleaning commando. Only three hours until the Mother General’s arrival. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing this for my mother. I’m doing it for me. I know my mother loves me unconditionally. She doesn’t come to my home to perform a hygiene inspection. This cleaning neurosis is not about my mother’s judgment of me, but about the way I want to be perceived by my mother. The desire to impress one’s mother is coded into our very DNA. As little kids it’s a core issue in making us ‘visible’. God knows I’ve made enough poor impressions on my mother to want to make some sort of positive impact as I mature into a middle-aged woman.
When I was 17 I lived with five girls in Brisbane’s West End. We were all uni students who’d discovered drugs, feminism and boys, virtually in that order, and we all refused to kowtow to societal gender expectations. Just because I had a vagina didn’t mean I was going to do the washing up. So I didn’t. None of us did. We had maggots in baking trays from dinners we’d consumed the month before. We were brewing penicillin in our tea cups. Someone had come home with a cat and in a very short period of time, due to our lack of (personal) and feline birth control, we had 13 kittens. Being stoned or drunk or studying or partying or bonking, we were far too busy to attend to mundane tasks. And so the cats all shat inside on the carpet. Once a day we’d draw straws and the girl who lost had to find a way to manipulate her boyfriend to remove the kitty faeces. We may have been feminists, but we were also women. We nicknamed the stinking rot of shitcovered carpet over by the piano ‘Poo Corner’. One night we had a huge party secretly delighting in how many people accidentally wandered into the no-go zone. A skinhead bloke called Randall actually passed out and slept there. He’s now an investment banker. My mother used to visit me at this house. She was the only mother who did. We never made any attempt to clean for her; I suppose we assumed it would be a waste of energy. After all, isn’t that what mothers do? They clean. My mother, to her credit, never lifted a finger at our house. She walked around with a perpetual expression of ‘oh my god I’m going to vomit’ covered by a faint beatific smile and a sainthood that would have rivalled Mary McKillop’s. My mother witnessed my life as a teenage crazy cat lady. So now, when she visits, I have a psychotic episode with the mop. Fortunately poo corner is a thing of the past. Hang on…what’s that? It’s a dog shit on the rug!

Consider Aries Joseph Campbell’s advice instead: We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us… TAURUS: This week has excellent potential for progressive ideas, positive changes or revitalising your love life while the stars of hot romance are at their most frisky. Itchy and scratchy frictions and crosscurrents respond best to using your imagination and being willing to look beyond the obvious.

CANCER: If others want to make unsettling changes this week, some of your famous fancy footwork may be necessary to downplay difficulties and locate areas of agreement. Be inventive and prepared to adjust, even abandon, what’s worked in the past to meet changing realities. LEO: With this week highlighting your boss qualities you’ll express yourself with flamboyant flair, though try to choose words conducive to conciliation and cooperation or others may take offence.

leonine majesties. VIRGO: Not a good week for criticism, Virgos. It won’t be well received because even though others seem confident, they’re easily deflated. Be aware of your words, and also your own motives for saying them. Give something away – you’ll be astonished at what immediately comes back. LIBRA: Your boss goddess Venus is in inspirational, go-ahead mode this week, attracting people with ideas to amuse you and invitations which enthuse you, while Mars along for the ride gives romantic hormones a serious power surge and ushers plenty of friendly attention your way. SCORPIO: A dramatic turn of events could scramble this week’s plans, causing
ambivalent feelings about whether to stay or pack it in. Stand your ground and work through to your best course of action; allow emotions their say, but don’t let them rule the day. SAGITTARIUS: While Mars/Jupiter exuberance has you enthusiasts pumped, this isn’t a good time for short cuts. Cut down on excess commitments instead, because this week has fabulous romantic possibilities if you aren’t too exhausted by all the demands on your time, expertise and generosity to enjoy them. CAPRICORN: This let’s-get-physical week is a good time to break a bad habit or begin a fitness regime. If difficulties around seeing eye to eye with others occur, being generous with time, money and/or resources will lessen resistance

CHESS
by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm At last week’s Thai Open Aus tralian teenagers Max Illingworth and James Morris scored careerbest performances, with Illingworth, 18, scoring his first International Master result and Morris, 17 and already an IM, moving his ranking up into the Australian top 20. Illingworth’s most interest ing game was his only loss, given below. Not often does one reach a position where both players believe that Black has to resign the game, only for an unexpected resource to become apparent and the result is reversed. Pattaya 2011 White: M Illingworth Black: K Stokke Opening: King’s Indian Defence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3 0-0 5.Bg2 d6 6.0-0 Nc6 7.Nc3 Bf5!? A provocative system, recently revived with some success. 8.d5 Na5 9.Nd2 c6 10.b4!? The sharpest plan. On 10.e4 Bg4 is playable for Black. 10...Nxd5! 10... Nxc4!? 11.Nxc4 Nxd5 12.Nxd5 Bxa1 13.Bh6 is less convincing. 11.cxd5! Bxc3 12.e4! Bxe4! The latest idea. 13.Nxe4 Bxa1 14.bxa5 Bg7 15.a6! c5! 16.axb7 Rb8 A key position, which Black had aimed for when playing 10... Nxd5. Should Black consolidate he will take
over the queenside, but Illingworth reacts strongly. 17.h4! Qa5 18.h5 Rxb7 19.hxg6 hxg6 20.Qg4 Qb4 21.Qh4 Rfb8 22.Bf4 Qd4 23.Kh2 c4 24.Rc1 Rc7 25.Be3 Qe5?! Black’s first misstep, but a serious one. White’s attack looks scary after 25...Qxd5! but there is nothing clear because 26.Nf6+ can be met by 26... Bxf6. 26.Ng5 c3 27.Be4! Rb2 28.Re1 Qf6 29.Qh7+ Kf8 30.Nf3?!? (See diagram) Stokke had overlooked this move, which both players believed to be completely winning for White; 31.Bd4 and 31.Bg5 are (seemingly) deadly threats. However, in retrospect 30.Bxg6! was the correct course, with a likely win for White. 30...c2!! A great queen sacrifice, born of desperation but brilliant nonetheless. 31.Bd4 Qxd4 32.Nxd4 c1Q! 33.Rxc1 Rxc1 34.Bg2? Panic. After 34.Kg2 White hangs on. Illingworth feared 34...Rc4?! but then 35.Ne6! turns the tables (again). 34...Rxf2 35.Nf3 Rcc2 36.Ne1 Rce2 37.Qh3!? f5! Avoiding the last trick. The rest was a slow but sure roundup of White’s remaining pieces, with the lone queen flailing helplessly ( 0-1 in 60 moves). a

Flying fish in the Tweed
For me, fishing the Tweed River over the holiday weekend has been great. Aaron from Anglers Warehouse put me on to a new surface lure, Berkley ‘Pop Dog’. I’ve been using a variety of surface lures, mostly the expensive Japanese brands, but the Berkleys are worth a try. In one canal alone my mate Ric and I caught such a haul of different fish including queenfish, taylor, whiting, trevally, bream and almost landed some nice size prawns, that were
making their way through the system. It was amazing to see these creatures being spooked by the boat or yak and jumping all over the place, some flying up to a metre out of the water; we both thought for sure we would end up getting a few in the boat, but it didn’t happen. I kept hitting this particular canal each morning and over and over the surface lure got smacked or nudged. Sometimes I’d only just landed a cast and bang, gone with a big bream screaming towards a
snag, other times working it back, only to have whiting grab hold and bolt straight at me making me think I’d lost the fish only to take up the slack and feel I still had the fish on the end. They all fight differently, but nothing as satisfying as a big bream on the light gear; the biggest I caught was 31cm to the fork. Suggestions for fishing on the Tweed – crabbing in Cobaki and Terranora Broadwaters, they are everywhere at the moment.

failure of policies at all levels of government to achieve a timely supply of land for residential development. ‘It’s time that serious and urgent policy action is taken to ensure there is sufficient serviced land for residential building,’ Mr Harvey added. RPdata.com senior research analyst Cameron Kusher said that the escalating cost of land was not only impacting the affordability of new homes but also that of existing housing product. ‘When the median price of a block of land in Sydney is $269,000 it’s easy to see why affordability is spiraling out of control. When you add on top of the land cost: professional fees, government charges and the actual cost of constructing a home, it’s no surprise that many Australians are forced to remain in the rental market, paying off others’ mortgages,’ said Mr Kusher. ‘The cost of vacant land and

subsequently new housing also impacts on prices of existing houses. Typically, vacant land is most abundant in areas further away from the city centre, when owners of existing housing stock closer to the city centre see the prices being achieved for housing in these new areas of the city they quite rightly seek (and in most instances achieve) premiums in excess of these prices. ‘Undoubtedly something needs to be done to address affordability constraints and Governments at all levels need to realise that it is a serious problem. When an adult working fulltime is earning an average of $1,310/week ($68,120 pa) and is looking at a median purchase cost for land in a capital city of between $145,000 (Hobart) and $269,000 (Sydney) there is clearly a disconnect. People looking to purchase the land on which to build a house are paying between two and four times their annual wage just to secure the land,’ Mr Kusher said.

There were plenty of fashions on show at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, but a few stood out more than others. Kudos to the woman pushing a pram who carried off her rainbow bikini and fairy wings ensemble with attitude. But it wasn’t to everyone’s taste. ‘What on Earth is she wearing?’ remarked one festival-goer dressed in a furry dog suit, without a trace of irony. You’ve got to wonder, though, when did furry grey dog suits become the height of fashion? ■ ■ ■ ■
There used to be a time when a bathroom break to powder the nose at a music festival involved a fortified stomach and torturous wait, particularly for the ladies. Toilet paper was strictly BYO. But gone are the days of roughing it. The Bluesfest has gone sanitary. Queues for the loo ran like a well-oiled production line, with bathroom attendants on hand to dole out toilet paper and mop out the floors. Positively posh by festival standards. ■ ■ ■ ■

A review looking at Cabarita Beach residents’ vision for their village was quite damning about the inadequacy of any community consultation conducted by council or its reserves trust alter ego. The academic who conducted the review said participants in its focus groups were unanimous in their criticism of local government ‘and its motivations, which participants identified as short-term profits to suit developers rather

than longer-term visions which prioritised local citizens and communities.’ Now that’s not surprising while a pro-development faction has the majority on the current council. The review found it a real worry that residents felt a sense of powerlessness to impact on local and state planning decisions. ‘There is international acknowledgement that responsibility for environmental protection, conservation and care must begin with communities, developing a local sense of environmental stewardship. However, involvement and participation, let alone stewardship, are difficult, if not impossible, to foster if community members feel disempowered to impact upon decisions relating to their local environment.’ But is council listening? ■ ■ ■ ■
While Tweed council’s general manager Mike Rayner likes to wallow in ignorance over the global-warming issue (he is an avowed sceptic), the leader of one of Sydney’s three main Christian denominations has quite a different view. In his
Easter message, the Moderator of the Uniting Church Synod of NSW and ACT, Reverend Niall Reid, said climate change was the result of ‘unsustainable, unfettered and unthinking addiction to economic growth’, and those who could not entertain a less destructive path were like those who sent Jesus to the Cross for expediency’s sake. Rising sea levels and more ferocious storms, floods and fires caused by climate change had the potential to threaten food security, exacerbate poverty and create an environment ripe for war, he said. ‘God is found in the lives of those who seek remedies and work towards God’s vision of a reconciled and renewed creation,’ he continued. ‘Surely in our time [God’s] vision is most threatened by climate change, which the science seems to be telling us is caused by human activity.’ There you go, Mr Rayner, if you won't believe the scientists maybe you'll believe a man of God.

But as it turns out the five-yearold wanted to be doubly sure. When his mum turned out the lights later that night before bed, she was horrified to discover a series of arrows drawn in thick black marker on the tiled floor of the holiday apartment and leading all the way to her son’s room. ■ ■ ■ ■
At last week’s monthly meeting, Tweed councillors voted to sell off a cottage and land at 209 Byangum Road, Murwillumbah, as surplus council-owned land.
