Illegal wakeboarding rail built in lagoon Luis Feliu
Fingal Head residents have been shocked to learn that a 30-metre ramp for use by extreme wakeboard riders has been built secretly and illegally in a state-protected fish-breeding lagoon on Aboriginal land and operating there for over a year. The structure in the wetland called Sponsors Lagoon off Letitia Road has been described as environmental vandalism and is even featured in an action video online. Footage in the clip, which was posted on the internet early in April last year, shows two boats driving at speed in the lagoon and wakeboarders jumping dangerously onto and off the rail. The images have apparently been used for magazine covers and promoted on a website by a Queenslandbased company called Jetpilot. Stickers on the rail also promote this company, using its logo. The Echo called the company’s Helensvale office yesterday and was told by its marketing manager Chris Apps that they sponsored the two professional wakeboarders claiming to have built the rail, Chris O’Shea and Brenton Priestley but that the company had no connection to the rail. But Mr Apps said the rail was ‘pulled down’ two years ago and the two men they sponsored, who often travel to the US for their sport, left ‘bits of it’ in their office storage area. ‘So if anyone else has put one in there now, it has nothing to do with us,’ he said, declining to elaborate on the so-called previous structure. Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council (TBLALC) acting chief executive Leweena Williams said the issue was ‘very serious’ and the land council was seeking legal advice on the matter. Tweed Shire Council says it has been aware of the rail since March
‘Somehow these individuals have built a 30-metre ramp in an environmentally sensitive and protected lagoon and taken two boats in there to tear it up and video themselves performing this illegal act.’

this year, when a council officer came across the rail in the lagoon while inspecting wetland restoration works in March. The officer then notified NSW Maritime. A spokesperson said council planning officers were trying to track down those responsible to order them to cease operating. The spokesperson said council will remove the rail if the TBLALC asks for help but it had not been asked to do so as of yesterday (Wednesday). Jetpilot is an ‘action sport’ apparel company specialising in boardshorts
and wetsuits and claims to be one the leading brands globally in the wakeboarding industry. Ms Williams said the lagoon is on Aboriginal land, protected under the State Environmental Protection Act and is a fish breeding ground for the Tweed River. Fingal Head Community Association president Dawn Walker said, ‘Somehow these individuals have built a 30-metre ramp in an environmentally sensitive and protected lagoon and taken two boats in there to tear it up and video themselves
performing this illegal act. ‘Fingal Head is a sensitive environment which the community is determined to protect from illegal activities like this, that cause damage and destruction and amount to environmental vandalism. ‘People come here to enjoy the beautiful area and both the community and visitors are concerned to see this total disrespect for both the local community and its environment,’ Ms Walker said Heavy penalites apply for unauthorised activities in the lagoon which
has a protected mangrove vegetation community which lives in and around the waterway. Ms Walker said the mangrove ecosystem would have been affected by the illegal construction of the rail and wake from the tinnies and wakeboards. Fingal Head Coastcare president Kay Bolton said the people and companies involved ‘in this environmental vandalism need to be taken to task and made to realise they can’t just do what they like, where they like and trash the environment to suit themselves’. Ms Bolton pointed out that a Murwillumbah man was recently hit with a bill of $23,000 for building an illegal road through a mangrove (see page 2). Ms Walker said the ‘perpetrators are professional wakeboarders sponsored by Jetpilot which is promoting the video on its website and have their logo featured prominently on the illegal ramp’. The website item promoting the rail is headed ‘Living the dream with a rail in the backyard’ and says: ‘Brenton Priestley and Chris O'Shea lived the cruisy summer dream. Moving to a small beach house at Fingal, Northern NSW. About 100m out the front of the house is pristine, uncrowded beaches and 50m out the back of the house is Tweed River and a small offshoot lagoon, where the boys built a rail and spent the summer scoring covers on magazines and shreddin' their arses off. This vid is from a small session Chriso grabbed.’ A wakeboarding retail and training company called Prowake, from Labrador on the Gold Coast, which has been operating a wakeboarding school out of the Tweed River for several years, told The Echo it had no link to Jetpilot apart from selling their brand-name clothing.

Ms Walker said she was surprised and disturbed that the rail had been in place for over a year without the knowledge of authorities. ‘I’m horrified also that it would have taken quite an effort to build this thing; it’s not just a couple of kids building a skate ramp, it’s a major operation,’ she said.

The man has also had to spend almost $20,000 restoring the environmental damage caused by the construction of the roadway. NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) fisheries conservation manager Patrick Dwyer said the man, who was not named, was found by fisheries compliance officers to have built a road through a tidal wetland on Crown land near the family property. The location of the property was also not given. ‘The road harmed 300 square metres of marine vegetation, severely restricted tidal flows and obstructed fish passage to 1,100 square metres of

Council acts to restore beach access Luis Feliu
Tweed Shire Council says it’s preparing to carry out interim works on the beachfront at Kingscliff to restore public access to the beach as the southern corner of the beach continues to erode. Next week further sandbagging works will be undertaken to enable safe access to the beach near the Cudgen Headland Surf Club. Council’s natural resource management coordinator Jane Lofthouse said the erosion was due to the current weather conditions, including the prevailing swell direction and currents. There has been a significant loss of sand from the beaches directly north of structures over the last few weeks, such as Kingscliff training walls and Fingal Headland. ‘It would appear that the southern corners of northern facing beaches generally are in an erosion phase. This is reflected up and down the coast including some heavy erosion
This recent photo of the eroded Kingscliff beach by local resident Trevor Reece shows the severe erosion to the foreshore, which he says will soon affect tourism.
at Fingal Head Beach,’ Ms Lofthouse said. She said council was pursuing a long-term strategy to nourish the beach with sand extracted from the Tweed River downstream of Barneys Point bridge and is seeking funding and approvals from the state government. ‘Some 300,000 cubic metres of sand would be placed on the beach and re-nourishment would continue as required in the long-term, in accordance
with council’s adopted Tweed Coastline Management Plan. This sand nourishment would cover the rock wall – which is currently exposed – and this wall would only be visible after extreme weather events. ‘We cannot take the sand from Cudgen Creek as there are insufficient volumes of sand and extraction from Cudgen Creek is more likely to impact on coastal processes in terms of reducing the natural northerly drift of sand.
Celebrating World Environment Day
‘Apart from restoring the access, unfortunately there is very little that council can do until sand starts to return to this area naturally to replenish the beach. ‘However, without the recent placement of dredged sand and the construction of the wall, the effects of this recent erosion event would have been significantly worse and would have claimed a much larger portion of Faulks Park,’ she said. Council has urged people to avoid using the section of the beach affected as access was ‘very dangerous’ and large rocks have been exposed. Meanwhile, council says work on the new car park in Faulks Park is almost completed, with the first bitumen seal laid yesterday and the final asphalt due to be laid later this month. The remaining work of line marking, removing barriers and turfing the edges will then follow. Local resident Trevor Reece says much of the beach zone in the commercial precinct is ‘basically out of commission now on both high and low tide. ‘This will effect day tourism shortly as the awareness builds and the economic impacts will really start to bite,’ Mr Reece said. ‘Sadly the solutions council has sought to put in place have been very poorly conceived.’

Book fêtes Tweed’s age of Aquarius
Kate McIntosh
They smoked dope, bucked mainstream and agitated for social change. Tweed’s early rainbow residents may have been in stark contrast to the region’s conservative rural heartland, but over time they gradually helped usher in more liberal attitudes. Their stories are captured in a new book titled Caravans and Communes: stories of settling in the Tweed 1970s and 1980s. The book is a part of a project by the Tweed Regional Museum to celebrate the contemporary history of the Tweed region. Ray Hunter and his wife Greta moved to Uki in 1974 from the NSW Central Coast and virtually dropped out of mainstream society. He remembers an idyllic, if somewhat conservative, country village that was still suspicious of outsiders. He says people immediately labelled him a hippie because he had a beard and grew his own veggies. ‘If four cars came through Uki in a day, it was a busy day,’ he said. ‘It was the 1970s, but it was like people were still living in the 1950s.’ A vocal campaigner for decriminalisation, Ray caused a ruckus when he stood as a local candidate for the Australian Marijuana Party in the 1978 elections. It was a contentious decision and an impromptu speech at the Uki pub during his election campaign famously erupted in an all-in brawl.

Ray and Greta went on to start the popular Uki May balls, as well as the original Uki markets – the earliest in the region, second only to The Channon markets. Despite the often conservative attitudes, Ray said Uki was a ‘magic’ place and continues to live in the area today. Bilambil Valley resident Di Searle arrived in the Tweed in a beat-up Volkswagen and still lives in the same house she bought in 1972. ‘I was this would-be hippie that turned up in my velvet skirts. I think I was the first stranger to move into the
street,’ she jokes. At the time, Di and her friends would strip off and go skinny dipping and pick oysters off the rocks in Terranora Lakes. The 67-year-old has led a colourful life, dabbling in Indian mysticism and alternative lifestyles. Although members of her U3A group refer to her as the ‘colourful hippie’ Di jokes that she was always too much of a capitalist to be a real hippie. After opening a small artists’ cooperative near Mt Warning, she went on to establish several successful handcraft businesses,
including the Airport Gallery at Tugun which she sold in 1996. Known as ‘Till Tits’ because she kept her takings stuffed inside her bra, Di once chased a would-be armed robber from one of her Gold Coast craft stores with a metal candelabra. Di and Ray’s stories are among more than 40 oral history interviews with community members who moved to the Tweed in the 70s and 80s, conducted by museum staff and volunteers for the book. Caravans and Communes will be launched at Tumbulgum Hall next Saturday, June 18, at 2pm.
Residents back police on new station Luis Feliu
Kingscliff residents are backing the NSW Police Force’s move to upgrade their local police station as the area’s command centre, pitting them against the Tweed’s National Party politicians who are pushing for a combined emergency services centre on prime agricultural land at Cudgen. Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner and Cr Warren Polglase, a leading local National Party member, last week enlisted fellow National, Tweed MP Geoff Provest, in their campaign to lobby members of the new coalition government in Sydney to have a 1.4 hectare slice of stateprotected farmland on the corner of Tweed Coast and Cudgen Roads rezoned and used instead for a combined emergency services centre, including the new police headquarters. However, last year, Mr Provest in parliament condemned the police move to rezone the Cudgen land as a waste of money, saying the farmland should be protected and there were other sites available. At a Kingscliff Residents Association meeting on Monday members unanimously opposed any move to break down the agricultural zoning of the Cudgen land and reaffirmed support for the upgraded station in Marine Parade.
<echowebsection=Local News>
The development application (DA) for the $5 million Kings cliff station upgrade was recently lodged with Tweed Shire Council but is set to be determined by the state-appointed Joint Regional Planning Panel. Association president Kim Holdom told The Echo that the association had always opposed the use of protected farmland for development and that ‘from the police point of view, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and looking for another appropriate site would just take too long’.
Farmland zoning Cudgen Progress Association president Marion Gardner agreed, saying members were all against the plan and very, very frightened the farmland zoning would be broken down. ‘It’s outrageous and not a good spot to locate it [the emergency services centre] because of the traffic lights and the use of that road by farmers on their tractors, which would probably be banned as a result,’ Mrs Gardner said. She said the average age of farmers on the Tweed was around 60 to 70, yet at Cudgen they were mostly younger. But Mr Provest says a combined police, ambulance and fire services precinct at Cudgen made more sense, and planning department officials, govern-
ment members and local business chambers agreed with him. He said that upgrading the existing Kingscliff station into a regional headquarters just for police was a ‘bandaid’ measure and he was more interested in the long-term solution for all three services. Mr Provest said he understood the police department not wanting to delay the DA but pointed out they had already spent $200,000 on the ‘original concept’ for the Cudgen site. He said former Murwillumbah MP Don Beck and his wife Lynne, a former Tweed mayor, still had an interest in the Cudgen land offered for sale for the centre. The National Party stalwarts have for years unsuccessfully lobbied to have the land reclassified for development. Mr Provest dismissed other locations such as the Gales Holdings land at Chinderah, which he said was floodprone. ‘The Cudgen site is on a hill, so it doesn’t flood, and it’s on an 80km/h dual-carriageway stretch whereas the Kingscliff site is surrounded by a 50km/h zone and is in a residential area,’ he said. ‘The benefits of a regional centre far outweigh the use of 1.4 hectares of farmland; it won’t tip the balance. I’m still in favour of keeping farmland, but to sacrifice 1.4 hectares is not the tip of the iceberg.’ www.tweedecho.com.au

Wooyung resort plan back on the table Luis Feliu
Wooyung residents have knocked back the latest plan to develop a site approved decades ago for a 500-bed resort, but the Tweed’s Aboriginal community fears the rejection could mean the canal-style resort plan will be revived. Resident and environmental groups last month rejected the bid by development manager Kenneth Neff for a 26-lot upmarket residential development on the 80-hectare site which had been approved 32 years ago for the tourist resort. Mr Neff recently proposed, on behalf of his consortium which owns the land and existing approval, to build 24 luxury
homes and ancillary buildings on community title as an alternative to the mega-resort. He wrote to the Wooyung Action Group recently saying the developers were supportive of his alternative plan only if the community supported it, but as a result of the rejection, the developer had withdrawn support for it and would proceed with the existing approval.
Call to reconsider As a result, the Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council (TBALC) this week called on Mr Neff and the consortium to reconsider their plan for the resort fearing it would threaten significant Aboriginal sites and cultural material.
The land council has asked them instead to try to push ahead with the smaller alternative proposal. TBALC chairman Des Williams said his group had worked closely with Mr Neff over the past two years to develop the alternative plan ‘which would have protected these important sites, re-vegetate and rehabilitate the land’. ‘We are disappointed that this revised proposal has been rejected by some of the residents in the area', Mr Williams said. ‘The new proposal for 24 residential lots, a ranger’s residence and community centre was much better than the current approved development for
hundreds of hotel suites.’ Mr Williams said the smaller alternative ‘protected our heritage and minimised the impact on the local environment’.
Work ‘commenced’ In a landmark decision in 2006, the Land and Environment Court found approval for the large-scale tourist resort had not expired because surveyors’ pegs driven into the ground in 1989 constituted a physical commencement of work. The environmental sensitivity and cultural significance of the site adjoining the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, according to the community groups, are the main reasons for opposing the latest plan.
Uki community celebrates dual centenaries Kate McIntosh
One hundred years on Uki’s St Columba’s Catholic Church and public hall remain a vital part of the community. Dual celebrations are planned this weekend (June 11–12) to mark the centenaries of both buildings. In the past, the church also incorporated a convent and primary school on an adjoining property. A number of former students of St Columba’s School, as well as past and present residents, are expected to attend the celebrations. Although the school was closed in 1962, the convent building still stands today next to the church. Early Uki students recall travelling to school on horseback, with religious instruction being a particular focus of their studies. Built in 1911 by the same builder, both the church and hall have stood the test of time, albeit with the help of some facelifts over the years. Organising committee member Barbara Cook said both buildings are still very much in use, with the hall hosting regular community events. Ms Cook, who began attend-

ing the school when she was just five years old while living on her family’s Smiths Creek property, said the school had more than 50 students prior to its closure through lack of enrolments. She said academic instruction was basic, with a strong focus on students’ spiritual nourishment. ‘We were taught by nuns, who believed in the principles
of religion, so we were very nourished, very grounded in that respect,’ she said. Public transport was irregular at the time, with many students from outlying farms either boarding or riding to school on horseback. Centenary celebrations this weekend include a country dance on Saturday from 6pm with a jazz band and wine and cheese tasting. Memorabilia, as
well as anecdotes of early residents, will also be on display throughout the day. Sunday Mass will take place at 9.30am followed by morning tea and lunch, with Uki’s regular markets also coinciding with the event.

New cancer unit opens in M’bah Cancer sufferers in the Murwillumbah area won’t have to travel to Tweed Heads Hospital or further afield for chemotherapy following the opening this week of a new oncology unit at Murwillumbah Hospital. The refurbished first-floor ward, now known as the satellite oncology unit, was officially opened on Tuesday by Northern NSW Local Health Network chief executive Chris Crawford and the head of the Tweed’s public oncology services, Professor Ehtesham Abdi. Professor Abdi said the unit can treat up to 16 outpatients per day and if the need grew, extra staff and space would be required. He said the unit provided two advantages in that patients had less distance to travel and received a much more personalised service. There are currently around 600 people being treated for cancer at Tweed Hospital using chemotherapy, but radiotherapy treatment was still only available at John Flynn Hospital or in Brisbane.

DES (diethylstilboestrol) is an anti-miscarriage drug, given to women during pregnancy from 1938 to 1971 (and sometimes beyond). Women given DES, and their children of that pregnancy, are at higher risk of certain types of cancer and reproductive problems. There are about 740,000 DES exposed Australians, yet many are unaware of the fact and the potential adverse health effects. It is important that people with known or suspected exposure to DES are aware of the vital special care they need. Support group call 02 9875 4820 or visit www.desnsw.blogspot.com.

Council's conduct code up for review Luis Feliu
Tweed Shire Councils’ controversial code of conduct, which a NSW MP alleged had been misused to silence or persecute Tweed councillors, is up for an overhaul as part of a statewide review of the code used by councils across the state NSW Minister for Local Government Don Page has announced the review of the model code of conduct for local councils which he said needed changing. The code sets the minimum standards of ethical and other conduct that all council officials are required to observe when fulfilling their work obligations. Mr Page, speaking at the Local Government Managers’ Association forum, said some of the changes considered included: the role of general managers in investigating code complaints, the costs involved in code investigations, other op-
tions for managing complaints, such as mediation and negotiation, and the misuse of the code for political point-scoring. Late last year, Liberal MLC Marie Ficarra cited complaints against Greens councillor Katie Milne and former mayor Joan van Liehsout as evidence of misuse of the complaints process during an adjournment debate on the issue.
Dot and Mike named The former Hurstville mayor also accuses Kingscliff councillor Dot Holdom and general manager Mike Rayner of being involved in a campaign of complaints to undermine Cr van Lieshout when she was mayor. Cr Holdom rejected the allegation, taking the unusual step of penning a poem in rebuttal. Ms Ficarra, a past president of the Local Government Women’s Association, used case-studies at Tweed and three other councils to highlight
the need for what she says is an urgent overhaul of the new process. ‘There is clear evidence the code-of-conduct and investigation and disciplinary process can be used to persecute minority councillors by councillors, general managers and staff to silence councillors who are attempting to ensure transparency and accountability,’ she told parliament. She said Cr van Lieshout came under fire after being elected mayor of the council after it returned from a period of administration in 2008 following its sacking amid corruption allegations three years earlier. ‘Immediately upon seeking to hold the council’s general manager Mike Rayner and certain councillors to expected standards of ethical behaviour, a campaign of vilification and politically motivated complaints was launched against her by Cr Dot Holdom and Mr Rayner.
‘However, the code of conduct committee determined that it did not believe any breaches were sufficiently serious to warrant any disciplinary action. Why wasn’t this matter dismissed as vexatious, politically motivated and trivial the minute it was received?’ Cr van Lieshout was dumped after only one term as mayor following an investigation into complaints against her.
When Sydney photographer Tamara Dean snapped her haunting portrait shot at a Victorian artists’ community last year she knew she had captured a special shot. The judges in this year’s Olive Cotton Award agreed, with her entry taking out top honours in the prestigious $20,000 prize for excellence in portrait photography. The winners were announced on Saturday night in front of a crowd of about 300 at the Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah. ‘I’m totally thrilled, I just feel so honoured,’ the mum-of-two said of the accolade. Tamara took her winning portrait titled ‘Damien Skipper’ last year while completing a residency at historic Victorian artists’ colony Montsalvat.

Solar panel tariff backflip welcomed The NSW government’s decision to dump its plans to cut the solar rebate has been welcomed by Tweed residents who invested in the scheme. The solar bonus scheme had a high take-up in the Northern Rivers region, with residents set to be left thousands of dollars out of pocket after the government proposed slashing the feed-in tariff rate participants are paid for generating electricity back into the grid from their solar panels. Midginbil resident Yasir Assam said even at 60 cents he will not be able to pay back the cost of his solar system by the scheme’s end in 2017 and the www.tweedecho.com.au
proposed cuts would have dealt a significant financial blow. He said while the decision was ‘good news’, the government’s handling of the issue had raised serious questions about its leadership. ‘That the premier even tried to do this calls into question his moral compass,’ he said. ‘Retrospective changes to legislation are morally wrong, and in this case especially so, as he supported this scheme in opposition.’ The massive backflip comes after the state government announced compensation for people who had invested in the scheme in a bid to get the plan
through parliament. Last month it proposed cutting the rebate from 60 cents a kilowatt hour to 40 cents in a bid to stem a cost blowout in the scheme introduced under the former Labor government. The changes affected up to 110,000 participants, many of whom had borrowed money to buy their solar panels, in a move that enraged both the solar industry and those who signed up to the scheme. Mr O’Farrell had also been facing the threat of a backbench revolt, with some government MPs unhappy about the prospect of retrospective legislation.
WORK
Revisions of the code Mr Page said there were a number of areas where the code has not operated in the manner in which it was intended. ‘I have requested the Division of Local Government to issue a discussion paper on the model code which will seek the opinions of stakeholders and members of the public who are interested in suggesting revisions for the code. The discussion paper can be viewed at www.dlg.nsw.gov.au.

Not only do we appear both ignorant and recalcitrant, but there will be a severe economic cost if we don’t join the global movement towards a cleaner technology. Yet Abbott refuses to contemplate even a token tax on Australian industry, waffling instead about a direct action plan which would be both less effective and more expensive for everyone concerned. His relentless negativity on
lution and enlisting the support of Australia’s neighbours is a necessary step towards one. But swapping 800 of our own unwanted for 4,000 of Malaysia’s is no more than the shabbiest of quick fixes. In purely arithmetical terms it may look generous; we liberate a net 3,200 souls from purgatory, a substantial gain in the sum of human happiness. But there is a moral element involved in trading in human
Eleven American states have already embraced some form of carbon tax with more expected. The entire continent of Europe is moving in the same direction. by Mungo MacCallum the issue has given Julia Gillard’s embattled troops a straw to cling to: if the carbon tax can be driven through parliament and bedded down by the middle of next year Abbott will be seen not only as a cynical fabricator of fear and doom, but will be put in the position of having promised to withdraw compensation measures already flowing into voters’ pockets, an utterly unmarketable policy. Hallelujah. But the ‘if ’ is a very big one, because the Gillard government’s record to date does not inspire confidence. The latest boat people ‘solution’ exemplifies the problem: poll-driven ad hockery, blithering incompetence and above all a deep-seated political cowardice. The government has simply surrendered to the shock jocks and demagogues and abandoned any attempt to sell a humane and rational policy to the electorate. Of course the refugee problem is an urgent one demanding a co-operative regional so-
beings that goes well beyond the question of whether some of them are unaccompanied children. The 800 people we are planning to export came to Australia seeking asylum, as was their internationally recognised right. Like it or not they became Australia’s responsibility. Even if they are found to be here under false pretences – in other words after due processing they are found not to be suffering a legitimate fear of persecution and therefore not to be genuine refugees – we cannot treat them as human waste, a commodity to be disposed of at our convenience. The responsible minister, Chris Bowen, an honourable man charged with a dishonourable task, continues to insist that their human rights will be respected, but anyone with any experience in the area knows of innumerable examples where this has not been the case. This is why refugee advocates like Marion Le and Julian
Burnside have said that even re-opening the camp on Nauru (smugly described by the then Minister Phillip Ruddock as a hell hole) would be preferable; at least there Australia could have some kind of watching brief. In Malaysia, whatever Bowen may intend, the 800 will be out of sight and out of mind – which is precisely the aim of the whole sordid exercise. Politics, not policy; and if that is what is driving the Gillard government on the boat people, why should the electorate believe that she is any more fair dinkum when it comes to the far more complex issue of climate change? Well, clearly the public doesn’t. Not only do the polls show Labor facing a landslide defeat with Gillard’s own popularity in deeply negative territory, but there is now majority opposition to the idea of a carbon tax, in spite of the fact that most Australians still believe in the reality of man-made climate change. Most commentators credit Abbott’s brutal campaign for this paradox, but it may have more to do with disillusionment and distrust of Gillard. Neither leader has much political credibility. Unsurprisingly, Australia, after a brief revival as a serious player in Kevin Rudd’s early days, is once again seen as a backwater by the rest of the world. Which is not to say we don’t have influence in some parts of the United States: Sarah Palin has paid tribute to our own Pauline Hanson by naming her national whistlestop campaign One Nation. And Hanson has responded by endorsing the Australian Party, otherwise known as the Mad Katter’s Tea Party. The alliance, at least at the lunatic fringe, remains sound.

Going south quickly I wish I could share Chris Pengilly’s optimism that now both the state and federal local members are in government (letters, last week) the future is brighter for either Kingscliff Beach or the Tweed in general. So far there’s been not a peep from either Geoff Provest or Justine Elliott on the disappearing beach, despite more than half a million taxpayer dollars disappearing in less than three weeks and more good money currently being poured after bad. If the councillors and council officers responsible for the Kingscliff fiasco were in private business they would be facing charges of fraud, failing to properly dispense their duties under
the Companies Act and gross neglect of their shareholders’ interests. Now we hear that the state coalition is formulating changes to the Electoral Act to allow local councils to run their own elections, rather than hold them under the auspices of the State Electoral Commission. If the Commission was unable, or unwilling, to discover that the Tweed Directions Group had ‘bought’ the 2004 Tweed Council as disclosed by the Daly Inquiry, what hope is there for future fair and transparent council elections with Dracula in charge of the Blood Bank? The developer groups must already be lobbying Rome for

Early morning walkers on Cabarita Beach will know where I’m coming from. I once read that the English are prepared to bid ‘Good Morning’ to anyone before 9am. Their egalitarian attitude does not seem to be shared by their antipodean cousins, not on the Tweed Coast, anyway. In fairness, there is the occasional walker who will return my cheery greeting with an equally amicable salutation. But more often the response is a surly monosyllabic grunt or wary lowered eyes with no reply at all. Dogs are quite different. Their meeting with others of their species is devoid of the inhibitions which plague their masters. Of course I don’t for one moment suggest we emulate man’s best friend’s introductory method. After all, there’s a question of hygiene to consider. But it wouldn’t hurt

Most of us were appalled at the barbaric practices of our overseas neighbours’ abattoirs. So why do we commit our wildlife, our unique wildlife, to a similar fate? Slow starvation. Inadequate care is given the environment. South Tweed Heads and Banora Point have had the guts ripped out of it, with massive loss of wildlife and food trees; more habitat loss is planned for the future. Slow starvation is the norm for our wildlife. No different from our overseas neighbours, although death just comes slower. Just heard on Channel Nine that more trees up the coast are to be chopped so the flying foxes will ‘move on’. These animals
O’Farrell’s beatification. And if Justine Elliott has opened her mouth for any reason other than to breathe since being relieved of her ministry, I must have missed it. Not a sound out of her on the Cobaki Lakes issues, the solar rebate debacle, let alone the destruction by incompetence of an iconic strip of beach. Finally, Tom and Jerry were both correct: dependent on the wind and swell, sand from the beach at Faulks Park is moving both north and south, as opposed to the Tweed which, politically, is going only south and quickly.

Come on, guys!
What’s wrong with these dithering bureaucrats in Europe, hopelessly trying to find the real source of the deadly E-coli outbreak in Germany that has seen many deaths and thousands of people seriously ill? Why don’t they do as the Tweed Shire Council’s Water Unit did a few years back when the village of Uki’s drinking water was similarly contaminated? When bacteria tests by the shire’s scientific laboratory revealed deadly levels of E-Coli, senior staff blamed it on a dirty esky, ignoring the fact that a few days beforehand a septic tank waste operator dumped thousands of litres of highly in-
Cruelty not confined to animals Thousands of Australians contacted parliamentary members to rightly express outrage at the cruel way Indonesian abattoirs slaughtered Australian live export cattle. The only answer is to ban the live export trade and open an abattoir in the Top End giving employment to many of those now unemployed. Many years ago there was an abattoir and processing plant at Wyndham (northern WA) which closed because of outdated processing. Surely finance could be raised to build a modern processing plant to satisfy this lucrative export industry. Special attention could be given to training Aboriginals, who in this area suffer 80 per cent unemployment. In Iraq and Afghanistan there is human slaughter going on. In modern warfare upwards of 80 per cent of those killed are not troops but ordinary civilian men, women and children
labelled ‘collateral’ and not counted or mourned by the aggressors. Under the headline ‘Bush War Criminal Call’ (Sunday Mail, April 24, p32) the former UN nuclear inspector Baradei has called for an international criminal investigation into George W Bush over the ‘shame of a needless war’. Over one million killed and four million made homeless. ‘Memos Show Oil Motive For Iraq War’ (SMHerald, April 20, p11). Government ministers in UK discussed plans to exploit Iraq’s oil reserves in the months before Britain took a leading role in invading Iraq. The SMH article relates that ‘five months before the invasion BP Oil was told that British energy firms should take a share of Iraq’s enormous oil and gas reserves’. Likewise the war in Afghanistan is killing thousands of in-
nocent men, women, and more so children. Like the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan is about raw materials. Just a few months ago a delegation of the major USA mining companies went to Afghanistan to sign contracts with the government for the right to exploit their vast untapped mineral resources. Our country has again mourned the loss of our troops killed in this conflict. Our parliamentary members spoke and stood in silence honoring this loss of life. But not a word of regret for the slaughter of a room full of Afghanistan children, which happened about the same time. What a terrible situation when our citizens react with distress at the shocking slaughter of cattle but do not show the same reaction to the slaughter of human beings.

Dot not MIA
With regard to a letter published in the local daily on June 7 by Mr C Degenhardt captioned ‘Dot MIA for World Environment Day’ I wish to advise you and your readers of the following. I started WED by attending Jack Evans Boat Harbour to assist members of the community clean up that area. I did this with the mayor. I then attended WED activities in Murwillumbah. This is verifiable by people that I spoke to and two councillors also present at the time I was there. My husband and I spent an enjoyable time talking with residents collecting information as handouts, etc including koala information. I did respond to the official invitation as sent by council. The official invitation being sent to all councillors after the Caldera Environmental Centre sent their invitation to the organisational side of council on May 17, 2011. I believe this letter clarifies Mr Degenhardt’s misinformation to the wider community. Cr Dot Holdom

Cool climate doubt
The proposed Gillard carbon tax is based on false logic and needs to be rethought. I am one of those so-called climate change deniers, accused of having no facts to back up my argument. So I will quote Sir John Houghton, the first chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and lead editor of its first three sessions, who reported that during the 20th century, the earth warmed 0.6 degree Celsius
(one degree Fahrenheit), but that warming has been wiped out in a single year with a drop of 0.63 degree C (1.13 F) in 2007. A single year does not constitute a trend reversal, but the magnitude of that temperature drop – equal to 100 years of warming – is noteworthy. Of course, it can also be argued that a mere 0.6 degree warming in a century is so tiny it should never have been considered a cause for alarm in the first place. But then how could the idea of global warming be sold to the public? In any case, global cooling has been evident for more than a single year. Global temperature has declined since 1998. Meanwhile, atmospheric car-
bon dioxide has gone in the other direction, increasing 15–20 per cent. This divergence casts doubt on the validity of the greenhouse hypothesis, but that hasn’t discouraged the zealous global warming advocates, who conveniently ignore far greater evidence that the basic assumption of greenhouse warming from increases in carbon dioxide is false. Manmade emissions of carbon dioxide were not significant before worldwide industrialisation began in the 1940s. They have increased steadily since. Over 80 per cent of the 20th century’s carbon dioxide increase occurred after 1940 – but most of the century’s continued overlead

temperature increase occurred before 1940! From 1940 until the mid-1970s, the climate also failed to behave according to the greenhouse hypothesis, as carbon dioxide was strongly increasing while global temperatures cooled. This cooling led to countless scare stories in the media about a new ice age commencing. In the last 1.6 million years there have been 63 alternations between warm and cold climates, and no indication any of them were caused by changes in carbon dioxide levels. A recent study of a much longer period (600 million years) shows – without exception – that temperature changes precede changes in carbon dioxide levels, not the other way around. As the earth warms, the oceans yield more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, because warmer water cannot hold as much carbon dioxide as colder water.
The public has been led to believe that increased carbon dioxide from human activities is causing a greenhouse effect that is heating the planet. But carbon dioxide comprises only 0.035 per cent of our atmosphere and is a very weak greenhouse gas. Although it is widely blamed for greenhouse warming, it is not the only greenhouse gas, or even the most important. Water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas and accounts for at least 95 per cent of any greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide accounts for only about three per cent, with the remainder due to methane and several other gases. So maybe we ought to be taxing marine life.
Japan’s disaster, two months on Hans Lovejoy
Tsutomu Shimada has just returned from the worst-hit tsunami/earthquake areas on Japan’s seaboard, and said the current cleanup effort, while well under way, is still an enormous undertaking. ‘You can still smell the death,’ he told The Echo through an interpreter. ‘I scrubbed my body for many days to get rid of the smell. The towns have died along with the people who lived there.’ Tsutomu is a volunteer for Japan’s government, and was Chris Degenhardt there two weeks ago to collate Murwillumbah information for future town n Readers may want to check planning and help in the cleanwww.skepticalscience.com/ up effort. co2-temperature-correlation. ‘At least 27,000 are dead, and htm for the climate science still mostly unaccounted for. response to the cooling argu‘It’s still hard to identify bodment– Ed. ies, despite DNA technology. ‘A lot of bodies are still trapped in crushed homes and down drains.’ Many, he says, were caught in the wave because they did not evacuate to high ground immediately.

the children were at school, and as schools are designated as evacuation areas, everyone rushed to the schools. But a lot of schools were destroyed by the tsunami.’ Retirement homes and hospitals had no chance, he says, as did a lot of people who even managed to make it to roof tops. ‘Toxic fires broke out immediately, which suffocated many who had survived the initial wave. The survivors – who are very few – now live in evacuation centres.’ In 1933, a similar tsunami occurred in the region, in which 3,000 people lost their lives. ‘The Fukushima nuclear power plant was built on the same area where there was the previous earthquake; however, the epicentre was more to the north. ‘After ten or twenty years after that tsunami, people started
to build further down and in the dangerous areas. ‘A retaining wall was built specifically for tsumamis; however, it was built too straight, and didn’t withstand the force of the wave. It should have been built on a slight angle,’ he says. Though he stayed outside the 50km exclusion zone of the nuclear power plant, Tsutomu says he witnessed a similar degree of destruction in that area. His concern is that towns in the vicinity have not been evacuated far enough from the disaster zone, and people continue to eat, drink and breathe contaminated food, water and air. ‘There is a possibility it can explode again, and there is speculation it could be bigger than the first one. This is unique because people are being exposed internally and externally. There is a constant leak into the
air and the ocean. ‘The most affected are the fetuses of the unborn and young children. It’s inevitable that the unborn will be affected. ‘They are at a much higher risk than adults, yet the government is saying that the safety levels apply to both adults and children.’ This has been proven to be false, he claims. ‘Greenpeace measured the radiation on towns close to the plant and it was incredibly high. ‘When Greenpeace told the government of their readings, they moved people again further away.’ He also claims that the government’s testing of radiation does not include ground level. ‘They are making radiation claims from testing the air 50 metres above the ground. ‘This is a turning point for Japan, and it’s not easy to change the current system and the government is struggling. ‘No-one from the government is saying anything; however, the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] will arrive at the plant next week and then the government will be required to supply them the info that they have been holding back from releasing.’ ‘If we do not care about nature, nature will teach us a lesson. The lesson is to build a different society. Not nuclear power but solar power.’

what's new? With Europe’s huge push towards solar power, Belgium is now running its 3.2 km long Paris-to-Amsterdam solar rail tunnel. The tunnel protects the train from tree debris from the surrounding old-growth forest (thus reducing the need to fell them) while the 16,000 panels supply 50% of Antwerp station’s power, greatly reducing the carbon footprint of Belgium’s train network. This will soon be followed by the UK’s first solar-supported train station, Blackfires, which spans the river Thames, due to be completed in 2012.

In winter, boats are locked in frozen ice and the local river hosts ice skating, husky sleigh rides, horsedrawn
carriages on sled runners, ice fishing, slippery slides made entirely from ice, and even a swimming pool for locals cut into the river ice! It is visually unforgettable, photographically magnificent, and culturally unique. There is nothing else on earth like the amazing Ice and Snow Festival! A whole city of half-size reproductions of world icons, famous palaces, and huge sculptures, built from massive ice blocks and highlighted at night by incredible fluorescent lighting. Sun Island is home to huge and intricate snow sculptures created by international teams of competitors. The quality and creativity of the work leaves you totally enthralled. Access to the island is by cable-car high above the frozen river, with wonderful views of the waterfront, frozen river activity, and the city. Travel Masters organise a private demonstration of ice carving to observe firsthand the skills involved. Harbin also celebrates its Winter Festival with a wonderful array of night lights ablaze with colour. The best competitive exhibition of ice sculptures, carved with incredible skill, is in a world-famous local park. The endangered Siberian Tiger is the ancestor of all tiger species.

Yabba Dabba Cabba Comedy It was a smash hit last time and it’s sure to be again with bookings pouring in already. Mandy Nolan presents Cabba Comedy, a late-night comedy room with a difference. Nolan is the MC, and with well over two decades plus a few dozen croissants under her belt, she’s a woman who knows how to thrill a crowd. ‘Nolan can whip them into a frenzy,’ says Cabarita Beach Sports Club Marketing Manager Cassandra Evans, attesting to Ms Nolan’s ability to reduce a room to tears…of laughter. This time Nolan welcomes comedy comrade Steve Allison. Allison has that rare gift of walking into a room and making everyone his mate. He comes from a performing family and at the age of six was forced to spend hours juggling to impress his circus-schooled Dad. He’d shout ‘until you do five balls I’m not lettin’ you go to school!’ Prime TV said ‘Steve is known as one of Australia’s top comedians’ and Time Off mag in Brisbane raved ‘To say that performing comes naturally to Steve would be a dramatic understatement’. According to Ken Brown from Channel 7, ‘He’s a classic bloke’. His unique insight will have you laughing at yourself, your parents and the hilarious things Aussie people do. Everybody knows a bloke like Stevo, fair dinkum and full-on funny. He’s a reminder of what we love about being Aussie. He’s a good natured larrikin always up for a lark. Twelve years’ experience on stage, TV, and radio has polished his act into one of the slickest on the Australian comedy circuit. Current topics, timeless issues and a lack of self-humility make Steve’s show uniquely funny. Hundreds of thousands of people around the country have laughed at his cool, casual and calculated style of comedy. Steve is one of the most in-demand acts on the circuit, so it’s a thrill to have this easygoing ocker Everyman centre stage. Nolan and Allison are joined by Robert Grayson, a comedian of 17 years who originally hailed from New York. Neurotic, over-sensitive and Jewish, Grayson has all the hallmarks of the great American comedians. Cabba Comedy kicks off at 9.30pm at Cabarita Beach Sports Club on Saturday.

School photos are always ugly. It doesn’t matter how attractive the kid is, the end result of a school photo is never pretty. Even Angelina Jolie would have looked plain in her school snaps. Johnny Depp would have had a mouth full of braces and scarlet-stained acne, revealing all with that punishing schoolphotographer-beat-it-out-of-me smile. ‘Come on Princess’, ‘Hey rockstar’...I mean – should school photographers be allowed to use that kind of language to coax a smile out of your kid? When I get the folder full of shots back of my little chickens, they always have that painful grimace of the school photo smile seated in front of some ugly blue marbled background. The only time you’d ever use a photo like this is if they’ve been abducted and the police need it for the news. You certainly wouldn’t be purchasing the key ring set, the coffee mug and the fridge magnets. The other day I was going through some personal archives when I accidentally uncovered some old school photos. Poor ugly farm children all lined up like rows of misshapen avocados. What is it with school photographers and their desire to line children up as if they were fruit? Don’t they know that children are random beings and that they photograph best when caught unawares, running, punching, laughing or dangling from a branch? I was always in the front row of all my school photographs. That’s where you put tall girls. You want to centre them. Tall girls jutting out unevenly in the class group can completely ruin a photo. Children should always stand in ascending order of height. School photographers seemed to have made an art in the sorting and assembling of the tall, the short, the fat and the ugly. The blackboard containing our school, the grade and the year the photograph was taken was always leaning on my knees. If you were to believe my school photos, then for the first 12 years of my life it’s quite possible I didn’t actually have legs. I was just a torso propped up on a bench. Thirty or more children in matching outfits with bad haircuts and insincere smiles. There’s so little to differentiate each person’s

individuality. The school photo is a reminder that the education system is an assembly line. A sausage factory. It specialises in slipping strange unyielding children into the sausage skin of education.
School photographs are also a reminder that we are all little soldiers in life. There are those of us who go on to glory, more of us who attain a comfy level of mediocrity and sadly there are the fallen. The kids from the photos who don’t make it. The kid that died in a car accident at 23. Then there was the kid who hanged himself. And the girl who got a rare sort of cancer. They’re sitting next to the accountant and the fat-arsed farm boy who scratched it rich on a lottery ticket. School photos are frozen moments of discomfort mixed with silly dreams and unrealistic expectations. I look at my own children’s school photographs now with the same kind of sad nostalgia. Even though they were only taken last week. The format is unchanged. There is something so miserable about them, they’re like reminders of our incredible potential and damned limitation. I look at the faces of the children in my kids’ photographs and try to imagine who they might be. I try to imagine who my children might be. What they might look like, what values they might have. Then I pay the $25 for the group photo and the five individual head shots and the fridge magnet for my mum. It’s good to know that even if the kids never go on to achieve anything much in life, at least they can hold a Telstra bill to the fridge.

The photographs always have these tiny moments of disharmony. I love to pore over school photos to find them. These are the tiny moments of chaos that Mr School Photographer couldn’t control. The signs of energy and life that can never be repressed. Little kids with their hair sticking up. Someone slipping in the rabbit ears. The kid with the turned eye. One kid’s head suddenly turns to a noise out of the frame. Johnno’s got a nose bleed. Mary’s sock has fallen down. Barney’s got his zip down. I can see his thumb. Hang on, is that his penis?

Thirty years have passed since the first incarnation of the fifties and sixties show band Sweetrock took to the stage in Central Victoria. After a ten-year hiatus Sweetrock reformed with a fresh lineup two years ago. The band has quickly forged the reputation of being one of the premier rock’n’roll acts in Australia. Front man Joe Candy has a huge voice and stage presence and energy to burn. His daughter Lisa Candy, who has had a well-documented career in the music industry as a singer/songwriter for The Sweet Painted Ladies, joins Joe on lead vocals. Lisa brings a healthy mix of beauty and attitude to the band. Sweetrock’s first six-track EP immediately picked up airplay around the country, and boasting a phenomenal line up of musicians, Sweetrock have blasted onto the 50s and 60s festival circuit. The release of a 16-track CD Sweet Rock‘n’Roll in mid2010 coincided with Sweetrock’s first appearance at Wintersun where the band wowed the audiences and attracted the attention of promoters. Sweetrock is a major drawcard band for any rock and roll event and have been filling venues to capacity. wherever they appear. The Echo got a chance to catch up with Sweetrock’s Lisa Candy during her preparation for the 2011 Cooly Rocks On. Sweetrock is largely a family affair. Your father and husband are both in the band and your mum helps behind the scenes. Do you get in the way of each other? Oh no! It’s great working with my dad. We have a shared passion for this music and he is a fantastic performer and singer. Matt and I met playing in a band so music and performing together is the backbone of our relationship. I love watching him play. Mum also helps with making the costumes and baby-sitting so we are all in this together. The 50s was a long time ago. What keeps this music fresh through the years? Rock’n’roll is simply great music. It transcends eras. Rock’n’roll was well crafted at the time and this gives it the ability to survive the test of years. It also takes people back to when they first heard it which is a wonderfully nostalgic journey for many and it also creates interest for new audiences because it’s just great to listen to. We get audiences from across the board; people from all types of background can enjoy the music. The rock’n’roll era certainly had a gregarious style. Do many of your audience make the effort to dress up for the gigs? Fashions and style from that era have a very strong signature. A lot of people who are into that style tend to go to festivals like the Cooly so there are always retailers on hand to supply all the latest new ‘old’ fashions. Continued on page 16

Homage to Frida
In an out-of-the-way dead end street in Mermaid Beach last weekend, I found myself at an extraordinary exhibition of work done in a group show entitled Homage to Frida. Twenty-six strong emerging artists are participating together for the first time. Each artist brings their own unique style and interpretation of iconic Frida Kahlo; her life, her country, her family and friends.

From July 11 to 15, the Arts Centre Gold Coast, in association with Opera Queensland, is offering a week-long program tailored especially for those distinguished members of our community who are young at heart. Gold Coast performers aged 50+ are invited to kick their heels up, sing, dance and perform popular operatic and musical theatre repertoire with guidance and training from Opera Queensland’s director, pianist and vocalists. The Arts Centre Gold Coast’s Creative Producer Brad Rush said, ‘The Centre has long been recognised for its involvement in youth programs and now we are thrilled to bring something unique to our valued retired and semi-retired patrons. It’s wonderful to involve our over 50s interactively.’ The Opera for Over 50s program will culminate in a showcase performance staged in The Space, The Arts Centre’s intimate black box theatre for participants’ family and friends. This is an opportunity to engage in operatic and musical theatre art forms, to enjoy an experience with friends, and to meet new people all whilst under the watchful and experienced eye of the state’s premier operatic performers. Most importantly, it is a chance to do something truly unique. No previous experience is needed, but if you used to sing, love to sing or have always dreamed of having your time in the spotlight, this is definitely an opportunity for you.

The Choir with Fire The Lismore Lantern Parade is on Saturday June 25 and, as part of the fiery finale, there will be a super choir led by director Peter Lehner. This group is a collection of over 150 singers, choirs and community members from the Northern Rivers and beyond. Hailing from Sydney, Peter is an old hand at choir direction. For him becoming part of a choir was integral to his journey of becoming ‘out’ as a gay man. ‘The first choir I joined was the gay and lesbian choir in Sydney; it created a safe space for me to later on come out because I wasn’t out when I joined and I wasn’t comfortable with myself. Singing in harmony creates no competition; you make good close friendships.’ All choirs are different – some are diverse and they usually contain people you would have never met. These are the beginning of wonderful but unlikely friendships!’ For more information about participating in the Lovemore Lantern Choir or about Peter’s choir groups, then contact Peter Lehner on powerinthevoice@gmail.com.

Television Guide 1. The intimate Mandarin drama Electric Shadows (SBS2, Friday, 9.30pm) is perhaps the best film in an otherwise desolate week. 2. Outcasts (ABC1, Saturday, 8.30pm) is proving to be an intelligent, well-scripted SF drama, unlike the overly operatic Doctor Who. Why does the music need to be so loud? 3. SF trufans can also watch the first X-Men flick at 8.30pm Saturday on Ten. If you are very keen on the genre there’s also The X-Files with Californicator David Duchovny (Eleven, Sunday, 8.30pm) or Escape from New York (7Mate, Sunday, 8.30pm).

new projects by discussing them too much. Letting others get a word in occasionally could be quite instructive… CANCER: Life’s simple, basic, downto-earth pleasures are extremely therapeutic this week, which while Venus is in the sign of wining and dining suggests entertaining chez vous, staying warm and talking up a storm. Don’t overanalyse spontaneous offers or knock back impromptu invitations either. LEO: You can’t take new information on board while you’re talking so don’t be a stranger to the pause button, especially during early week Leo moon. Others will respond much more readily to temptation than coercion this week, and could probably be bribed with seductive treats.

VIRGO: Listeners are in surprisingly poor supply this week, when good listeners could pick up smart tips for increasing income and enjoying a few luxuries without breaking the bank. Venus in a fellow earth sign suggests a beautifying upgrade to your workplace will increase productivity. LIBRA: Ideas are inspiring, mind games mischievous and arguments alarming this week when trivial disputes can damage friendships, so be respectful of differing opinions despite what you might privately think. Others do have feelings, even if it’s not evident by the way they’re behaving. SCORPIO: It’s difficult being deep when most folk don’t look beyond the surface, but you’ll just have to hang out in the

shallows to reach some people this week. Remember expecting the best from others sets you up for disappointment; seeing the best in them brings different results. SAGITTARIUS: This week suggests less razzle dazzle socialising and more downto-earth close-to-homeness to balance the speed fatigue of recent weeks with a breathing space for some catchup comfort indulgence – though there’ll still be plenty going on to occupy your questing mind and adventurous spirit. CAPRICORN: Your ruling planet Saturn’s a disciplinarian taskmaster, but the ancient Romans celebrated Sat as a source of abundant rewards so vigorously the word saturnalia still lingers in our language.

challenges as compost, because you need both darkness to grow and light to flower. AQUARIUS: Money matters take up more time than you’d like this week, but better to get them sorted while your business instincts are switched on. Also give some thought to what could make your life more radiant and less burdensome, then be good to yourself and do it. PISCES: Jupiter in Aries pushed your personal frontiers, now in material-world Taurus it anchors these new changes, making the difference between faux fantasy and achievable dreams easier to spot. This week’s instructions couldn’t be clearer: don’t think about it, don’t talk about it, just do it.

CHESS
by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Sebastian Feller, the French Grandmaster found guilty of having used computer assistance to win a gold medal at the Chess Olympiad in Siberia last October, has had his ban from tournament chess increased to five years after three legal appeals in the past fortnight all failed. Feller’s main accomplice, renowned captain and coach Arnaud Hauchard, has had a playing ban added to his ban as a captain. Feller is only 20 so would potentially have a chess career even after a five year ban but the reaction from his peers has been universally and violently negative, as he found when fellow Grandmasters at the European Championships tried to insist on extra anti-cheating measures. This week’s game is taken from the ongoing French Team Championship in Mulhouse and sees Laurent Fressinet – one of the French Olympic team members who cut Feller and Hauchard loose after he learned of the cheating – in spectacular form.

An ambitious new plan, delaying castling to launch a quick attack. 11...a5?! One day after this game, Russian GM Jakovenko found the antidote to Fressinet’s idea; 11...h6! 12.Nce4 Be7! 12.Qf3! Ba8 13.0-0 Be7 If 13...c5 14.Qh3 leaves 15.Nb5 as a threat. 14.Qh3! b4 15.Na4 c5 (See diagram) This meets a stunning refutation, but after 15...Qc7 16.e4 White has everything he could hope for from this opening. 16.Bg6!! 0-0 There is nothing better; if 16...fxg6 17.Nxe6 wins the Black queen, while 16...Rf8 17.Bxf7+! Rxf7 18.Nxe6 is similar. 17.Bxh7+ Kh8 Fressinet knows that the discovered check will soon be decisive, but sets the scene by removing all the Black’s queen’s defenders. 18.dxc5! Nxc5 19.Nxc5 Rxc5 20.Rxc5 Bxc5 21.Bg6+! Kg8 22.Bxf7+! Rxf7 23.Qh8+!! 1-0 A glorious finish – after 23...Kxh8 24.Nxf7+ wins the house. a

dirty and there is a bit of flow I caught a total nine 50-60cm lizards; I kept none, but they were a lot of fun. I caught these fish on a light rig, 4lb leader and a 1/40oz 11 jig head (hidden weight) which allows the lure to slowly sink in a horizontal fashion – very lifelike. Next were whiting – all over
30cm. I caught them on a popper (yellow Berkly ‘Pop Dog’). I find when chasing whiting with poppers it pays to keep a steady retrieval going even when the fish attack the lure; keep it going until you feel the weight of the fish with your rod tip then strike, wha-woo they go crazy.

it’s very addictive stuff; you will be back for more. Sunday morning something weird happened. I had half an hour to kill while waiting for my partner to get ready and as we live on the water I raced down for a cast. Second cast a whiting, then behind it I noticed prawns being spooked. I had on the Pop Dog which immitates a fleeing prawn. I cast straight into the melee and just when the Dog was a foot from the shore, a jack came half out of the water and crunched the lure. Taken by surprise I freaked out and whipped the lure back straight past my head and into the trees behind me. Hey nice work David. Next cast he took it again and again I pulled too quickly, then they were gone. I thought to myself ‘jacks 10 metres from where I sleep. Is this heaven or what?’ What’s biting? Whiting. Use live bait for the best results. Jack Evans Boat Harbour often holds a few elbow snappers. Flathead – try lives or soft plastics, but don’t use your bait rod for the softies as they don’t work so well. Mitchell; C. James defeated A. Bousie; V. White defeated S. Davies.

House hunters crave convenience A poll released last week by PRDnationwide shows public transport is on top of the agenda for house hunters. More than half of respondents (57 per cent) considered public transport as the most important amenity to have nearby when purchasing a home. The PRDnationwide survey found 16 per cent considered a supermarket was paramount while 12 per cent felt a café or restaurant was most important to have close by. PRDnationwide research director Aaron Maskrey said only eight per cent wanted a school in close proximity. The remaining respondents (7 per cent) nominated ‘Other’
as most important. ‘People are choosing a property based on how it fits into their lifestyle – not just how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has,’ said Mr Maskrey. The research director said
ON THE MARKET Sun day 11
-1p m
increasingly congested roads and rising fuel costs meant public transport was now higher on buyers’ wish lists than ever before. ‘A reliable train, bus or ferry terminal nearby can add thousands to the purchase price and create greater competition for the property,’ he said. Mr Maskrey said seeking out good amenity is a priority for many house hunters – including first home buyers. ‘Buyers crave convenience,’ he said.

28 June 9, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo
Tweed Shire’s chief planner, Vince Connell, will be the keynote speaker at a public meeting organised by the Cabarita Residents Association for next Monday (June 13) to discuss the controversial proposal for a beachfront 230-lot caravan park south of Norries Headland and a housing subdivision across the road, to both of which residents are vehemently opposed. The developments are being jointly proposed by the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserves Trust, made up of Tweed councillors and the Land and Property Management Authority. The quietly spoken and respected Mr Connell must be congratulated for accepting the invitation to discuss the process councils undertake when planning developments, unlike some of his senior council colleagues who refused to front a public meeting on the issue some months ago because they felt it could get too rowdy for comfort. Kingscliff-based Cr Dot Holdom also has accepted an invitation to attend the meeting at Cabarita Sports Club at 7pm. Backburner reckons councillors and senior staff should be more proactive and attend public meetings to gauge the feeling of the community on a range of issues, rather than listen to the proverbial squeaky wheels all the time. ■ ■ ■ ■
Gas companies are hating it, but the coal-seam gas (CSG) issue just gets bigger and bigger and it seems to be all their own fault with leaks and accidents aplenty. The huge protest recently in Murwillumbah against CSG drew the attention of many, not least the NSW government which froze CSG exploration licence applications for six months and now the Lock the Gate Alliance, which is leading the fight against CSG mining across Australia, will hold its AGM in Murwillumbah during this June 11-12 long weekend at
Students and parents from the Sathya Sai Primary School in Murwillumbah took part in a field trip last weekend to the rock pools of Hastings Point to celebrate World Environment Day as guests of the Adventure Education, Marine and Coastal Environment Centre, at the picturesque coastal village. The group, led by marine educator Rhett Brambleby, also enjoyed an informative talk and tour of the Marine Museum at North Star Holiday Resort. The children learnt much about periwinkles, sea stars, urchins, white tube worms, octopuses and just how fragile and special this local coastal ecosystem is. This Saturday, June 11, the marine centre, which is open from 1pm to 4pm, celebrates World Oceans Day. Entry is via a gold coin donation.
the town’s civic centre. Local CSG campaign co-ordinator Michael McNamara has called on the community to make the the Lock the Gate delegates feel welcome ‘by lining the streets with placards and messages of support’ on Saturday from 10am, via the Alma Street bridge over the river, along Commercial and Tumbulgum Roads to the civic centre. ■ ■ ■ ■
Meanwhile, the Caldera Environment Centre in Queen Street, Murwillumbah, has a new stock of the yellow triangle Lock the Gate signs in stock at $6 each. Campaigners are urging others to put the signs on their front gates, even if they don’t have acreage or aren’t in an area that will be directly affected. This is, we’re told, ‘so that then when the gas company vans are driving around surreptitiously (as some have been spotted doing out Limpinwood way) they’ll see our signs and know that
EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF A EUROPEAN WHITE CHRISTMAS The end of November to 24 December is a special time in central Europe.
