Full steam ahead for historic boat regatta Rumours of

‘lucky-dip’ rig scotched Ken Sapwell

Murwillumbah boat enthusiast Peter Wade has one of the cheapest modes of transport around with his single-cylinder steamboat, Freya, which will be on show this Saturday at the Tweed River Classic Boat Regatta. ‘It’s a replica of an early 1900s steamboat,’ he said. ‘It has a steam boiler which runs on coal. I’ve just got to pick up some driftwood.’ Named after a lusty Viking goddess, the boat can reach a maximum speed of 8-9 knots and uses one bag of firewood for a day of travel. Peter is just one boating enthusiast getting on the water this Saturday, October 10, for

the regatta, which is part of the Tweed River Festival and continues all this week as well as next week. He said the members had quite a collection of vessels, ranging from steamboats and putt putts to sail boats. ‘The putt putts are slow but very pretty. It’s fun on the water, especially in a big group.’ Peter has purchased another steamboat, this one from 1907, that is currently being rebuilt and he said he hoped he would be ready to hit the water in time for next year’s regatta. Organiser Bob Modystack is looking forward to the event, with people coming from as far away as Sydney and Kingaroy.

‘Boats come from up and down the coast. One chap is coming down from Brisbane via water,’ he said. ‘Each year we do something different.’ ‘Most of us are retired, it’s a hobby a bit like blokes with their cars.’ Boats will launch from Chinderah in the morning and land at Jack Evans Boat Harbour at 12pm on Saturday, October 10, where you can get up close and personal with this unique fleet. Another viewing area for the boats is Pioneer Park in Kennedy Drive, Tweed Heads. For more information call Bob Modystack on 0417 714 456.

Senior Tweed Shire Council staff have scrambled to scotch suggestions that last month’s ‘lucky-dip’ decider for mayor and deputy may have been rigged. They have threatened one resident with defamation and persuaded a state MP to withdraw part of a statement to Parliament amid growing disquiet about the improbable comeback of sacked mayor Warren Polglase. The council’s corporate services chief Troy Green says the draw from a cardboard box to decide a tied vote for the positions of mayor and deputy was in line with Local Government general regulations and was properly supervised. His assurances follow speculation about the process which came to a head when Greens MP Sylvia Hale rose in Parliament to inform the NSW government that the mayor of the council it had sacked just four years earlier was back at the helm. She told MPs the new mayor was already ‘crowing about development opportunities and threatening to go after anyone who dared object’ despite an inquiry by Professor Maurice Daly which found he and other Tweed Directions candidates had corrupted the democratic process. ‘Mr Polglase’s enthusiasm for promoting his local developer mates has clearly not subsided,’ she said, ‘His comments demonstrate that he has learnt nothing from the Daly report, and has no remorse about his previous actions.’ The anti-corruption campaigner described Cr Polglase’s comeback as ‘amazing’ and claimed it had ‘made people shake their heads and wonder what is happening in the Tweed’. Ms Hale, in further comments which she has since unreservedly apologised for and withdrawn from Hansard, suggested a lack of scrutineering when she said council boss Mike continued on page 2

Two students from Murwillumbah TAFE have excelled in the finals of the North Coast TAFE Art Acquisitive competition held in Lismore last month against tough competition from 17 TAFE campuses throughout northern NSW. Visual arts student Helen Luna took first place in the three-dimensional award for her series of 14 rings made from different materials (such as coffee grounds, beard hair, concrete, candle wax, newspaper, charcoal, sponge) which she says represents ‘love and its many facets and permutations’. Head teacher Sandra Guy said Helen’s work, made over a period of two weeks, was a collaboration of her interest (and business) in jewellery design and her work in sculptural design.

Annette Walters, also studying a Diploma of Visual Arts, was awarded second place in the two-dimensional award for her set of prints which she says are ‘about the process of death and the physical body’ depicting ‘how in our culture death is a taboo subject that’s not talked about’. Helen’s and Annette’s works, along with their classmates’ work, will be on display at the Tweed River Art Gallery from Friday, November 20, to Sunday, December 6. Applications for visual arts courses at Murwillumbah TAFE in 2010 close on October 30. For info call 02 6672 0800.

Bilambil village subdivision plan cut Ken Sapwell

VœœÂ?ÂŤÂ?>˜iĂŒ

Tweed Council has urged the NSW Planning Department to reduce the size of a proposed 52-lot subdivision in Bilambil village to just 10 lots. Greens councillor Katie Milne won support for reducing the scale of the development because of adverse impacts on the already stressed Bilambil Creek and the historic character of the tiny village. She also won backing for a ban on residents keeping cats and dogs and a series of other changes to the layout and design to create more buffer zones and improved footpaths and roads. The proposed development, by Sydney-based firm Jackson International Pty Ltd, will more than double the village’s population and is the subject of a major project application to the NSW government. Council’s chief planner Vince Connell said under an agreement with the department the council was able to have input into the environmental assessment and consent conditions.

He said that the proposed development, which would also include a general store, was consistent with the zonings for the site and the council’s strategic plans. ‘But the council’s officers have identified a number of significant issues with the layout and the siting of the proposed open space and riparian zone,’ he told the last council meeting. While Mr Connell raised a raft of concerns with the de-

velopment which he identified for further investigation and recommended some lots be sacrificed for other uses, the Milne amendments carried four-three go much further. But Cr Milne says the project pales into insignificance compared to a proposed development at nearby Bilambil Heights comprising 1,804 dwellings and a town centre with buildings as high as eight storeys.

Rayner wrote names on pieces of paper and ‘showed them to no one’ before drawing them from the box. She said this week she accepted assurances from Mr Green that both he and the public officer Neil Baldwin had properly acted as scrutineers and accepted that she had been ‘misinformed’ about the process when she levelled her criticisms. Soon after putting out that fire a similar accusation landed

in council’s own e-mail boxes when local resident Trish Mann urged councillors and Mr Rayner to move a vote of no confidence in the mayor and his deputy, also citing post-election comments by Cr Polglase. The regular gallery watcher says she copped a threat of legal action from Mr Rayner after saying in the email that the draw ‘was not scrutinised or undertaken in a manner in which the public could have confidence.’

She said it is beyond what is allowable in the zoning but is yet another major development which will be assessed by the NSW government with the council given a chance for input at its next meeting. The Rise development is the latest in a string of so-far failed ventures planned on land once owned by the former Terranora Lakes Country Club and will boast views more elevated than the Gold Coast’s iconic Q1 building.

Ms Mann, who watched from a distance, says she’s happy to withdraw any inference that proper procedures were not followed, but believed there would have been more confidence in the process if the public could have seen the names. ‘It was not a good look from where we were sitting in the public gallery and it was not made clear that either Mr Baldwin or Mr Green were acting as official scrutineers,’ she said. Mr Green says he’s willing to swear under oath or provide an affidavit that he and Mr Baldwin followed local government general regulation procedures to the letter when they acted as scrutineers during the draw. He says they carefully observed the names on the paper before and after they were drawn out and were willing to stake their reputations on the fact that there was no room for shenanigans. ‘Greens Councillor, Cr Katie Milne confirmed this process with me the next day and she testified that she saw me watching the process even stating that it was obvious by the way my head was turned that I was watching,’ he said. www.tweedecho.com.au

objets d’art Jenny Peason holds a copy of the story wrongly accusing Cr Katie Milne of giving the Bray Park mower shop owner a ‘blast’ about the offending sign outside the shop. Tweed Shire Council officers inspected the sign on Tuesday and found it to be illegal. A council spokesperson said the sign did not comply with the zoning provisions for the site and that action would be taken this week to advise the owners.

the owner that his business was likely to suffer because of the sign’, the local environmentalist said. ‘I told him that Katie got more votes than any other candidate in the history of the shire and that many of his customers probably support her but at no time did I try to pass myself off as her, why would I want to? ‘It is ridiculous to suggest

Who’s losing their nana? If anyone was losing their socalled nana this week, it was the boys in the mower shop. I accompanied Jenny Pearson when she returned to the shop to resolve their doubts about her identity, and it didn’t take long for things to run off the rails all over again. One moment we were engaged in a polite but tense exchange, and the next I had gnarly hands at my throat and was being shoved out backwards. We had gone to the shop to sort out an apparent misunderstanding which led mower repairman Gary Payne to misidentify Ms Pearson as Cr Milne. Ms Pearson politely asked Mr Payne, as she lifted her sunglasses, if he remembered her from the other day.

Mr Payne thought for a few seconds before saying, ‘Oh yeah, you’re Katie Milne’ and Ms Pearson then stretched out her hand and introduced herself, saying, ‘No, I’m Jenny Pearson’. But when he was asked to admit that he may have ‘got it wrong’, Mr Payne began yelling. He told Ms Pearson to shut up and ordered both of us out of his shop. Fellow worker Bryan Burrows then joined in, grabbing me by the throat and pushing me out of the shop. Ms Pearson had originally gone into the shop to tell them the sign could cost them business. Their customer skills are probably not helping their cause much either. – Luis Feliu

that I acted as some sort of impostor and I am prepared to sign a statutory declaration to say I didn’t identify myself as her. Someone obviously wasn’t listening’. Mr Payne this week became angry when Ms Pearson, who says she’s not a member of the Greens Party, approached him again in an attempt to clarify the issue (see panel). Cr Milne said the now discredited story was the latest in a series in the newspaper which she believed attempted to vilify anti-rally supporters and herself with unsubstantiated claims that were dividing the community. These included ongoing reporting of rock-throwing allegations even after Rally Australia admitted they weren’t true and others denigrating her failed court action to stop the event, falsely claiming it could lead to a by-election. Ms Milne said she took the action because of serious concerns for wildlife along the route. ‘From the vast numbers of letters the council received I believe we had the support of the majority of the community,’ she said. ‘I believe it was essential to take this case and I am personally responsible for the costs.’

Sleepout at school to help homeless A charity sleepout under the stars this Saturday night to mark National Poverty Week aims to raise money to buy a van to feed hundreds of homeless people around the Tweed. You Have A Friend founder John Lee said Jimbo’s Sleepout, in honour of ‘one of our very good friends who the streets who died last year’, will be held at St Joseph’s College grounds at Banora Point. Mr Lee, who is also the coordinator for the Coolangatta/ Tweed Rosies-Friends on the www.tweedecho.com.au

Street charity organisation, said the sleepout aimed to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless in the Tweed as well as to try and raise $20,000 for the van to service the homeless in areas that ‘desperately require our help’ such as Chinderah, Pottsville and Uki. The charity already supports the homeless in the Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Coolangatta areas. The charity holds food outreaches three times a day and takes food to people unable to visit the outreaches. Mr Lee said

he planned to make the sleepout an annual event as a fundraiser to improve its services. He said everyone was welcome to participate in the sleepout. Participants should bring a cardboard box and sleeping bag for the event at the school’s basketball courts. Registration opens at 4pm and the charity has asked for a donation of $20 per person. The sleepout is due to end at 8am this Sunday. For info visit www.youhaveafriend.org.au or call John on 0402 808 727.

A woman who fronted a Murwillumbah mower repair shop last week to complain about a sign denigrating the Greens Party was not councillor Katie Milne or anyone trying to impersonate her. It was Tweed resident Jenny Pearson who this week came forward to debunk a story in Saturday’s Tweed Daily News headed: ‘Was it our Katie or an imposter?’ (sic) It quotes shop owner Gary Payne as saying a woman came in and announced herself as Katie Milne before going ‘right off her nana’ about the sign the self-confessed petrol-head had erected outside. But Ms Pearson says she never tried to pass herself off as the Greens councillor nor did she ‘go off her nana’ about the sign which reads: ‘How do you insult a rally driver and ruin Australian tourism? Vote 1 Greens for the narrow minded minority’. She says she was running an errand at Bray Park last week when she saw the sign for the first time, although she had heard word about it before. ‘I went in on the spur of the moment and asked someone inside if he would mind telling

The manager of a popular downtown cafe in Murwillumbah has slammed world rally organisers over bad planning which saw their business and others lose out big time when the event was staged in the town last month. The comments by Luffley Cafe manager Emerald Astroturf during last week’s Murwillumbah District Business Chamber breakfast meeting stunned those present and contradicted Rally Australia general manager Gary Upson’s upbeat assessment of the event at the meeting. Mr Upson had just given a lengthy overview of the rally, telling businesspeople it was a ‘huge success’ with thousands attending over the four days, businesses doing well out of it and the region getting big global television exposure as a result. ‘The event was one of the most successful I’ve been involved with, I ran the New Zealand Rally for nine years,’ he said. But Ms Astroturf asked him

‘if you organised so many rallies in New Zealand then how come this end of town didn’t see any of the action?’ ‘We were told four-to-five thousand people would be in town each night and we expected a huge Thursday night, we hired extra equipment and employed extra staff but we saw nothing, we lost thousands of dollars all up,’ she said. ‘It was so depressing for our cafe.’ She said other businesses she had spoken to both in Murwillumbah and in Kingscliff were similarly affected while others did not open their doors because of the disruption. Many people, she said, ‘evacuated’ Kingscliff because of the rally and businesses there suffered. ‘There were mobile pizza trucks and coffee vendors but where did those trucks come from? Not from the Tweed. Why was there so many outside caterers?’ she said. But Mr Upson said he was surprised and would take her comments ‘on board’ and try to identify why her business had not benefited for the proposed review of the event.

Ms Astroturf said the event should have been organised like the Speed on Tweed events of the past, with an alfresco dinner in the main street as a big drawcard. Business chamber president Toni Zutschke acknowledged there had been teething and logistical problems for the two combined events because it was the first time. Speed on Tweed chairman Tony Smith told the meeting that aspects of the local event suffered as a result of its involvement with the rally and ‘we lost those benefits (the main street parade and dinner) and we want them back’. ‘We need to address it, we want to bring those qualities back. It’s sad we were unable to produce our festival the way we’ve always had, but it doesn’t mean we can’t resolve them,’ he said. Mr Upson said the review of the event was being conducted by consultants to Events NSW and there would be an opportunity for community feedback. He expected the report on the review to be tabled in parliament next year.

Utes and bikes wheeled out for show Kim Cousins

Uki ute lover Cav wants to break the myth of utes being petrol-guzzling beasts and show people that ute drivers can keep their travel clean and green. As the proud owner of both a ute and a push bike, Cav believes they can co-exist in harmony. ‘Sometimes you need the ute to go places or carry large items,’ he said. ‘The bike is for short trips.’ Cav is the driving force behind the Auto One Murwillumbah Ute and Push Bike Show, running in conjunction with the 109th Murwillumbah Show on Friday, November 6, and Saturday, November 7, which will have a focus on sustainability and be carbon offset through Greening Australia. ‘There are only two shows with utes and bikes, but only one is carbon neutral – ours. We’re looking for the most sustainable ute. It’s about showing people options and finding a balance,’ he said. Cav said that in keeping with the green theme, cash and sponsor donated prizes for the 33 classes will be presented but no trophies, unless they are recycled or made sustainably. ‘But all certificates, business cards and flyers will the printed on recyclable paper.’ Long distance riders from Wollumbin BUG will stage a demonstration and petrol powered and electric bikes will be on display as well as utes using different forms of fuel. Cav hopes the event will add <echowebsection=Local News>

colour to the show as well as raise money for upkeep of the showgrounds. Tweed River Agricultural Society secretary Liz Chauvier gave a potted history of the show to Murwillumbah District Business Chamber’s meeting last week, saying she had been looking for ways for the show to diversify with the changing face of agriculture in the region, and the ute and bike show was one of those. On the itinerary this year is pig racing, a dog and duck show, a rodeo and showjumping and a kid’s day on the Friday. ‘There’s no free rodeo within a bull’s roar of here,’ Liz said. ‘And the showjumping is one of the best quality

shows in the country.’ Liz said that without the showground, which was a vital part of the fabric of the Tweed community, there would be far less organisations able to operate. Many organisations still going started at the showground, such as girl guides, a pre school, the banana festival. She said free entry to the show also was a big attraction as many agricultural shows such as Lismore’s, charged up to $70 entry. To register your ute or bike visit http://murwillumbahuteshow.webs.com. Cav is also looking for people to help out with judging or sponsorship.

Rhiannon joins Tweed rail protest Luis Feliu

The Greens’ campaign against the state government’s controversial bill which could pave the way for the ‘disused’ Murwillumbah-Casino railway to be torn up and the land sold off to developers is gathering steam with up to 50 people protesting against the move at Murwillumbah train station on Tuesday morning. Upper House MLC and Greens’ transport spokesperson Lee Rhiannon addressed the rally saying the state’s founding fathers over 100 years ago had the’ wisdom and foresight to pass a law to provide legal protection for the state’s rail tracks which recognised the rail lines were an important public asset’. ‘That legislation provided enormous protection but that now stands between the government and their plan to sell off the land, and let’s be clear about this, once the tracks are gone, the land will be sold off.’ Ms Rhiannon said farmers’ voices across the state were not being heard on the issue and they also were deeply concerned over the proposed legislation, set to be debated again when parliament resumes on October 20. ‘They’re worried out west too because this is also an issue of public safety.

port is ignored then there’ll be more trucks on the road to move more freight, there will be an enormous increase in Bdoubles and even B-triples and these roads in the country are not built for trucks,’ she said. ‘And who pays for all this? Local councils will have to find the money to maintain those roads. It’s so ugly what’s going on and we have to ensure that

this legislation does not get through.’ She said the bill would pass the lower house but the government did not have the numbers in the upper house and had lost the regular support of the Shooters Party because it did not back the move for hunting in national parks. She urged concerned people to write letters to newspapers,

call radio talkback programs, and lobby the coalition and Shooters Party MPs to ‘keep the pressure on’. Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) president Karin Kolbe said Richmond MP Justine Elliot was elected four years ago on the back of the MP’s support to restore the Murwillumbah-Casino rail service and it was even more important to ‘get her on board’ for the current campaign because ‘she has the responsibility as a federal member to work with other governments across the border’ in order to get a rail link to Queensland. Ms Elliot issued The Echo with a brief statement on the issue, saying she was ‘critical of the NSW Government in 2004 for closing the Casino to Murwillumbah railway’ and that she did ‘not support the ripping up of railway lines on the North Coast’. ‘I understand that the NSW Government has no intention of ripping up the line,’ she said, despite the fact the state transport minister said the main thrust of the law was to make it easier to convert disused rail lines into rail trails for cycling and horseriding, which would entail ripping up the tracks. Later in the day, Ms Rhiannon met with community members at Jack Evans Boat Harbour in Tweed Heads.

ideological purity (another of Whitlam’s bon mots was that the impotent are always pure). There is little doubt that when the crunch comes Turnbull can persuade a majority of his own party to agree to the amendments which he will take to Rudd; but what happens if Rudd rejects some or all of them and Turnbull has to go back to the party

Surrounded once again by drongos and knuckle-draggers, Turnbull decided to crash through or crash… by Mungo MacCallum But no-one else wants the job, and the only remotely credible contenders – Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey – have both declared their support both for Turnbull and for his policy on climate change. Thus the likelihood is that Turnbull will prevail, but not that he will win a total victory. He has already admitted that there will be recalcitrants, and that some may cross the floor and vote against him. He dismisses this as a matter for the individuals concerned, but whether his party, and perhaps more importantly the government, will see it that way is another matter. Kevin Rudd has always said that he is willing to talk to Turnbull about amendments to the Emissions Trading Bill only when they have been approved by Turnbull’s party room. The Nationals have more or less locked themselves out already, and there is a hard core of Liberals taking the same line in the name of

room and give them a choice of either voting for a bill they find unacceptable or facing an unwinnable double dissolution, after which the bill will be passed anyway? If the worst comes to the worst, Turnbull could probably deliver enough Liberal senators to get the bill through the senate; he only needs seven Liberal senators out of 32, and he already has six cabinet ministers who are theoretically at least committed. But such a victory would give new meaning to the term Pyrrhic; it would certainly split the coalition, would probably split the Liberal Party and would certainly make Turnbull’s leadership untenable. So it might appear that the opposition is having a certain amount of difficulty over climate change – or in other words that it’s a long way up shit creek in a barbed wire canoe without a paddle. This is true, but the situation is not totally without hope.

All that is necessary is for each member to take the simple test set out below. Please read the instructions carefully: members of the National Party and Wilson Tuckey may move their lips while doing so. Pens, pencils and thumbnails dipped in tar ready? Then go. Either: (a) you accept the science of manmade climate change or (b) you don’t. If (b) retire to your cave. If (a) then either: (c) you think we should do something about it or (d) you don’t. If (d) go to the cave, taking a large amount of emergency supplies with you. If (c) either: (e) you believe an emissions trading scheme should be part of the solution or (f) you don’t. If (f) go to the cave and don’t come out until you’ve had a better idea. If (e) either: (g) you accept the government’s version of an ETS or (h) you want to amend it. If (g) – oh, hang on, there aren’t any of you. If (h) go and talk to the cave-dwellers about your ideas. And either: (j) convince a majority of them to agree or (k) don’t. If (k) scream and scream and scream until you turn blue in the face. It won’t work, but nor will anything else. If (j) take your amended plan back to the government, who will either: (l) accept it or (m) not. If (l), it all ends happily. If (m) go back to the cave and start working on an election slogan. And sorry, but ‘Troglodytes rule, OK?’ is unlikely to hack it. And on that cheerful note I’m off to Bali to attend the Ubud Writers Festival. Back in a fortnight. Endure your day.

Getting it straight I would like to comment on a misleading and inaccurate story in the Tweed Daily News (October 3) about the nasty greenies at Hastings Point harassing poor Athol Youngblutt, who coincidentally (I think not) is Cr Youngblutt’s brother, and acting caretaker for developer W S Elliot. Boat owners haven’t destroyed the mangroves, the developer did it with bulldozers, at least four acres of bushland within the wetlands and littoral rainforest protection zone. Five metre trees, mangroves and a rare melaleuca forest in tidal wetland were dug up and trucked away in an attempt to get rid of the evidence. After being prosecuted the developer was ordered to rehabilitate and fence off the protected wetland (not fence off the residents with barbedwire). Instead he illegally put goats on the property so they would eat what was left. It is not just ‘greenies’ worried about this development. TSC’s director of enginering and operations Patrick Knight said lot 156 is in a flood plain and he is not aware of any engineering solution to prevent filling of the block from flooding adjacent properties. Mr Youngblutt patrols the fence line night and day in four different vehicles intimidating the locals and invading continued overleaf

Only immediate action can save the koala ble buyers for their estates, and thus reducing their profits. In reality, most residents of Koala Beach actually see the dog and cat ban as a plus, lots of wildlife living happily around our houses, a nice peaceful atmosphere, and no dogs or cats crapping in the garden, killing the wildlife, or barking and yowling day and night. If a developer wants to develop this area of the Tweed where koalas and threatened wildlife live they must put the wildlife first and accept some restrictions. The developer of Koala Beach was forced to do so and the developer of Kings Forest must be made to do the same thing. What we need here, folks, is a bit of ‘people power’ if we are going to stop this developer from being allowed to destroy what is left of our koalas, wildlife and environment. You can do your bit by contacting the Minister for Planning, Kristina Keneally (office@keneally.minister.nsw.gov.au) and the Tweed Shire councillors, telling them you want the koalas and wildlife at Kings Forest properly Gayle Haglund protected from dogs, cats, and Bogangar cars, before this development gets the go ahead.

I have lived in this region for over 30 years and have seen massive changes to this beautiful part of Australia. We are certainly blessed to have the opportunity of receiving the benefits of a rural lifestyle but be close to amenities. To take for granted this lifestyle with its pristine wilderness areas, valuable farming communities and the delightful natural resources such as our beaches and bush areas would be stupidity. These areas are not to be selfishly destroyed by developers who demonstrate again and again how they take from this area: from the residents who already live here because they were drawn to the natural beauty and great lifestyle and from the native fauna and flora, who have no voice. If we are to maintain a reasonable lifestyle for ourselves and the wildlife in the Tweed then we must prevent the Kings Forest development from commencing. We will all be poorer!

urgently. The councillors decide at their meeting this month, if they will support the wildlife or the developer in his bid for this massive development. Team Developer has a lot of power and influence. The koalas are defenceless and if we want our councillors to care about them, we need to tell them that we care. Team Koala needs you now! Please, please help, you are the koalas’ only hope. To those that have written and spoken up already – thank you for your support, it is greatly needed as this is the koala’s last stand on the Tweed. We have a rare healthy colony – let’s try to keep it. Thank you also to The Echo for your strong support, it is very much appreciated. Jenny Hayes

Team Koala, Murwillumbah ■ There are two ways that you can help the Tweed stay as wonderful as it is. Firstly, if you run into any of the councillors in your day-to-day life, don’t be shy. Say gidday and tell them you would prefer the massive new development at Kings Forest to be koala friendly. They are voting this month on what they will tell the NSW Dept of Planning about what we think about this development. It is their job to represent us, and they cannot do it unless we tell them what we think. Some of them may try to pretend it is nothing to do with them, but that is not true. The council’s submissions on this issue are regarded by the Dept of Planning as extremely important. The other way is to write or email the TSC or the Dept of Planning. Look for the Team Koala ads with all the addresses. It does not have to be long or

complicated, even one simple line stating that you would prefer eco koala friendly development will make a great difference. If you work or belong to a social group, ask if other people would like to send one too, or put it up on the noticeboard. If you have been here for five minutes or five generations, it makes no difference, the koalas need your voice. If you don’t want to have the Tweed covered in high density Gold Coast style development, please speak up now. I have a funny feeling that Mr Polglase might mistake silence for consent if we do not.

This is nine times the size of Nightcap Village which had very strict controls imposed. For example, no dogs, cats, ferrets, goats or any hard-hoofed animal. Kings Forest is being built right on the koalas’ corridor, they will not be able to move around as they need to under the current proposal. This is very sensitive land and it needs to be done right, there are no second chances left for our koalas. Instead of worrying, please do something, it is their only hope. Lisa Townsend

State’s rail vandalism The NSW government continues to ignore the concerns of residents of the north coast who demand the return of rail services to the Casino to Murwillumbah line, which were axed by the same Labor government five years ago. Now, with a new covert plan to sell off the line, Labor’s treachery to the north coast is complete. The Transport Administration Amendment (Rail Trails) Bill 2009 is a truly despicable attempt to offload responsibility for the line in return for some fast cash from developers. We are told this proposal is intended to address demands by bicycling groups to turn some disused lines in southern NSW into railtrails; however, the government has confirmed that the closure and sale of any line anywhere in the state will be possible once this legislation is passed. If this bill is passed, rail lines and train stations could be sold off at the Minister’s

whim. The public consultation set out in the bill is meaningless. It is a smoke screen to try and justify a bad law. I pray that it is defeated by MPs with conscience and foresight, traits Labor MPs are obviously lacking. If you want to help save our rail line, write to any and all members of state parliament and ask them to oppose this bill.

Some ‘raw truth’ The raw truth the executive of this organisation needs to realise is that courts are not influenced by juvenile naked protests, but (thankfully) by the law. These people apparently think they should be able to sprint to a court, waste the time, effort and money of the respondent, and then walk away with impunity from the cost order that follows. But why should the general ratepayer foot the bill for their actions? I don’t want one cent of my rates to pay for their stupidity or irresponsibility. I can hear the howls of protest this letter will attract, it being written by a sacked councillor after the state government rightly ignored the worthless Daly report. But some of the same tired, ratbag complainants still keep writing. Council has a duty to protect the public purse, and vigorously pursue costs orders in its favour, whether from an unrepresentative pressure group or a fellow councillor.

Many people stop me on the streets or at parties or at choir performances or openings of art exhibitions and other local happenings. They say ‘keep up the good work’. They ask me how they can still help, where should they send money for fundraising and when will we have another demonstration! We belong here and we say: no more wasting the precious earth’s resources, no more disrespect for the planet! Bullies, listen: you cannot overwhelm the grey matter of the green caldera. I have learned so much during the campaign. Marching the streets with like-minded people is exhilarating. If we need to do it again, we will. Being earth defenders is definitely a lot of fun, and a well-run campaign is absolutely intellectually stimulating and what a social network! I now have so many new friends and have renewed connection with many ‘old’ ones.

■ The culling of kangaroos at the Bathurst circuit for the safety of racing drivers shows the attitude to the bigger picture of caring for the environment of the events organisers. With the amount of money these events create with the sale of commercial rights, fencing should be paid for to keep the kangaroos out. I guess killing them is easier and cheaper for the humans. Every one who views mega motor sport events either through the media or as a spectator at the event must bear some of the responsibility for the killing of the wildlife. Wildlife is killed or injured so humans can be entertained. A couple of questions. Why is it not okay for the Bathurst drivers to be exposed to hitting wildlife with their vehicles but it is okay for the drivers at Repco rally to be exposed? Why is it a human safety issue only and why is the animal safety issue not included in all motor sport events?

More on Phil from his ‘morons’ The only thing sadder than a Hank Williams song is the Tweed Shire Council. Not content with being the only place in the world since the collapse of the Berlin Wall with a Star Chamber, I go away for two weeks and what happens? God dumps Joan and anoints sacked and disgraced mayor Warren Polglase, Brisbane get to the finals and I find myself in agreement with Cr Youngblutt in describing the people who voted for him as morons. Such a degree of insight into himself I wouldn’t have thought he had. And what sort of person voted for sacked and disgraced mayor Polglase? Sure as hell, it wasn’t people who read the Daly Report or believe honesty is more than an election slogan. And who voted for the six sacked and disgraced councillors on the previous council who were elected with the aid of about 500,000 developer dollars? Sure as hell wasn’t anyone who could count to ten. And then there’s St Joan Elected by God, and when God dumps her, she stands on the Daly Report, re-plucks the apple, forces the voters to eat it, and allows the sacked and disgraced mayor to be elected to his former position. Even I laughed. Everybody knows the Lord works in mysterious ways but this is downright diabolical. Is the Tweed Shire to become the new Job? And now that Joan’s been abandoned by God she wants to represent that last bastion of failed Christian money worshippers, the Liberal Party! Hopefully they will take her. At least, thank God, Brisbane lost. Still, there’s always Hank Williams.

■

The state government can break and change laws very quickly to allow a rally but to change the system so that voters can elect who should become mayor cannot be enacted until 2016! No money in it, or could some people lose money? What hope for this beautiful area, with a corrupt state government seizing planning control and a mainly pro-development council who cannot see over the trough! It appears that there are only two councillors with ‘bottle’, the rest appear to be people whose integrity (if they had any in the first place) is so damaged you would not buy a used car from them; a person who is intellectually disadvantaged; and tattletales and snakes in the grass. Five out of seven in a game of lotto would be a win, five questionable choices out of seven in a council is a disaster not waiting to happen but happening now!

I cannot believe that after sacking the incompetently led Tweed Council (with the exception of Max Boyd) some years ago, we now have Warren Polglase back in the mayoral position. In the last election the people of the shire showed their support for the greens and conservative members by giving very few votes to the likes of Polglase, Skinner and Youngblutt, and yet here we are with these three having considerable say over the beautiful Tweed once again. I am appalled and frustrated that this can be allowed to happen. It is sad to say, but maybe Ray Keys Youngblutt is right about us, Pottsville the Tweed voters, that we are

Tweed Heads So the honourable deputy mayor now tells us that he was not referring to all voters as morons. Can we assume then, that since he received only a tiny fraction of the 2008 election vote, he is only referring to the huge majority of the electorate who did not vote for him? It might be a good idea if, for the next 12 months, this political genius ensured that his brain is engaged before he puts his mouth into gear. The ‘mates’ system of election which can be reduced to a game of chance, is a sad indictment of a flawed system that deprives the electorate of any direct involvement, whilst promoting political agendas and personal indulgence, thereby potentially defying any real commitment to sustainable development with responsible,

Advice from the Chief Product Tester Dear Chief Thanks for your tips on how to meet women, but I’m not getting the hang of it. Any more ideas? – Todd G’day Todd Sounds like you’re a bit slow on the uptake. Well, for the shyer type there’s the ultimate conversation starter. It’s called “Get a Dog”. To find out how it works go to the Pottsville markets and watch the dogs on their leads saying g’day to each other. They sniff each other all over (but you won’t have to do that). Then they get their leads twisted up so the owners have to untangle them. While that’s happening their owners say things like: “Is he a girl dog?” or “Is she a boy dog?” or “What sort of dog’s that?” Bingo! An instant conversation and a great way to start a relationship. So the best thing to do is get a weird looking dog so they ask you the third question, which gives you a chance to talk longer. Then all you’ll have to do is make a bee-line for the dog that’s attached to the right woman. There’s other essentials you’ll need - plastic bags (you’ll find out why) - and because most dog owners look natural you’ll need rugged natural clothes (we’ve got them in your size) and a compass hanging off the belt is a good touch. Go get ‘em Rover! Regards Tony PS Tell us how you go.

Trust Organic is the name given to a fortnight (October 2 - 18) of awareness on organic standards and other issues, with particular focus on their relationship to climate change. Sponsored by the Organic Federation of Australia (OFA), it will also constitute the launching pad for the OFA's Australian Government climate change project which will see workshops in every state and territory from 2009 to 2011. It has been proven that in the UK 20% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food and farming – thereby rendering the choice of organic (and seasonal) food as a fundamental step in reducing the carbon footprint. Organic farming, sometimes referred to as Biological or Ecological Farming, uses nature rather than industrial processes, thereby requiring less energy to produce food. Organic matter and soil biology are used to nourish crops as opposed to energy-intensive fertilisers. Being a local production system guarantees the reduction of 'food miles' by eliminating most of the transport of fertiliser, pesticides, much animal feed and veterinary drugs. In addition, the use in organic farming of organic matter results in a build-up of carbon in the soil; when released back into the atmosphere through nonorganic farming practices it converts to carbon dioxide pollutant. This concept of carbon neutral farming is something towards which the more innovative farmers are heading. Numerous studies have shown that carbon dioxide emissions from organic farming are 40-60% lower per hectare than from conventional farming systems. Alternative energy options must also be considered within this context – solar power, wind turbines and biofuel being three workable examples.

During Trust Organic's fortnight, there will be workshops and conferences featuring the latest scientiďŹ c research on organic growing, composts and the effect on climate change. In a nutshell (organic, naturally), organic agriculture has been scientiďŹ cally proven to be 30-40 % more 'climate-friendly' than conventional agriculture; it is the only viable and intelligent direction we can take.

1. It would have to be Tommy Lee Jones as the chief investigator in the thriller US Marshals (NBN, Friday, 8.30pm). 2. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, left and right of picture, crash weddings, as the name of The Wedding Crashers (NBN, Saturday, 9.30pm) suggests, in the noble cause of picking up chicks. Sure enough, they actually learn something about life and love. Despite the plot, it is a cut above similar comedies. 3. One beautiful documentary series ends, another begins. Ganges: Daughter Of The Mountains (ABC1, Sunday, 7.30pm) explores how the mighty river has shaped the wildlife, culture and beliefs of India.

STARS

Mungo’s Crossword

WITH LILITH

This week’s Sun in the sign of balance helps us think we and ours rather than I and mine – to align what we want with what someone else needs

ARIES: If the weekend’s annual Aries full moon fired up feelings concerning partnerships or family matters, this week recommends the Venus/love path over the Mars/warrior route, no matter how much you might think others are at fault. You do have your own tiny flaws too, remember?

CANCER: This week suggests saying yes to social invitations because they’ll open up new opportunities. Mars in your sign is the time to make a special effort at tuning into other people’s needs and feelings – something you do better than anyone when you put your mind to it.

LIBRA: In another few weeks Saturn, business boss of the planetary family moves into Libra bringing whatever you’re truly committed to into your orbit – which makes this a week for getting clear about and setting your highest intentions for what you want from the coming twelve months.

CAPRICORN: Uranus the master of surprise and Venus, goddess of gorgeousness, say this is the ideal week to do a surprise something lovely for yourself and/or the key people in your life. The results could rocket some lucky Capricorns straight into a new job or an unexpected perk…

TAURUS: This week insists on a spiffy new look, as artistic and imaginative as you dare. The present emphasis in your health sector suggests getting those checkups and taking those fitness initiatives (or yes, internal cleanse), because this is the time of year when appearances count.

LEO: If an outrageous intuitive flash suddenly crosses your mind, trust that Uranus is giving you precisely the right instructions to best charm, impress or otherwise clinch a deal during this week of interactive networking, scenesurfing and goss-swapping which is just your cup of vino…

SCORPIO: The coming month is for getting your talents out and about: mixing and mingling, seeing and being seen. Even if you experience the odd melancholy moment, most of what you’re angsting about will never happen – so if others just wanna have fun, and they do, join them.

AQUARIUS: This week’s magic moments are in connection with others: up close and personal, in group activities, making new connections – friends are a constructive influence right now and a positive, encouraging outlet for your ideas. Socialising is rosiest late week, which brings reasons to celebrate.

VIRGO: Venus in Virgo wants you inviting more beauty into your life on every level – something you could do this week by slowing down and tuning in to the glorious world around you. Then deciding what fresh artistic touches would benefit the great creative artwork that is Your Life.

SAGITTARIUS: This week could stimulate interesting new ways to make a buck, but while your mind’s on fire with ideas, finessing the mind-to-mouth highway is crucial because no-frills bluntness just won’t cut it. Light everyone’s creative flame instead with your most persuasive verbal artistry.

PISCES: This is a period of intense regeneration, so treat yourself like your own lover or best friend. A fluff up to refresh your personal presentation with a spunky spring look will get you feeling good about yourself this week – don’t forget some therapeutic soul sustenance as well.

The first Grand Slam event of the 2009/10 cycle, the Pearl Spring super-tournament, is underway in Nanjing, China and it seems as if this may be a new breakthrough tournament for Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen (pictured below). Of course Carlsen, the world number four, has been a top class player since he became a Grandmaster at 13 but in Nanjing Carlsen, now 18, appears to have stepped up another level. In the first two rounds in Nanjing Carlsen beat – nay, demolished – Peter Leko, arguably the best

The solar powered Sentinel snake repeller ll h has b been d developed l d to scare away all ll k kinds d of snakes. It emits a pulsing vibration, which the snake picks up through sensors throughout its body. The snakes perceive a danger zone causing them to evacuate the area; most snakes will retreat almost immediately. The Sentinel snake repeller is 100% safe to use around children and animals, and is eective against all snake species. Its use of solar technology and sturdy materials means it gives years of trouble free service with no running costs.

Fiery flamencotango-jazz ensemble

NORTHERN RIVERS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA SUNDAY 11 AT SEAGULLS

Evocative of a 1920’s Paris cafe scene filtered through an edgy and contemporary sensibility, the Saruzu Quartet is a celebration of the musical passions of its members. Members are the renowned violinist Luke Moller, sensual flamenco dancer and fiery percussionist Simone Pope, ferociously cool jazz bass player Andrew Shaw and laid back guitar virtuoso Andrew Veivers. According to the street press, the Saruzu Quartet’s second self-produced recording, Segundo, ‘slinks onto your stereo, impeccably clad and very well heeled, demanding your head twist twice to take in its smooth delivery.’ Special guest vocalist Kacey Patrick (Stringmansassy) lends her angelic tones to a mesmerising remake of the Duke Ellington tune Caravan and the hypnotic Historia de un Amor. Inspired and exciting.’ See Saruzu with special guest vocalist Kacey Patrick (Stringmansassy) at the Soundlounge, Friday October 9

I

t must be tough having a mental illness. The concept of empathy is all well and good, but the reality of having to deal with someone who’s psychotic can tend to wear the compassion mat pretty thin. No one says ‘Let’s go over to Joy’s house, she’s in the middle of a schizophrenic episode. It

will be better than CSI.’ I imagine people just want you to get better and snap out of it and realise that the notion that Centrelink has been bugging your phone or that you are being chased by ASIO is just plain irrational. I mean how do you tell someone who’s already on a disability pension that they’re just not that important? Nobody wants to get a mental illness. It’s not trendy. Bi Polar is not the new Black. To suddenly have the urge to expose yourself in Mallams can leave you with a lifetime of stigma. People get to see a bit more than your shopper number. But it’s there, in all of us, that whisper fine wall that separates the rational from the irrational, the real

PASS NUTS

from the unreal. Spend half an hour with a person who has a mental health issue and you will be amazed by one astounding fact. How normal they are. It reinforces the mantra that separates the well from the unwell, ‘there but by the grace of God go I’ . I have been running a two week standup comedy workshop called Funny in the Head, a project for people with mental health issues. The group are taught standup comedy techniques to reframe their experiences. Comedy is the perfect vehicle. 99.9% of comedians are anxiety prone depressives who are so self-focused they are unable to talk about anything else except themselves. The irony is, while a

THE

certain percentage of the population are medicated for these exact symptoms we comics are lauded as great talents and awarded sums of cash as our neurotic bounty. Talk about positive reinforcement! It’s all about context. As a workshop exercise I asked the participants to brainstorm all the words and phrases that people used inappropriately, or insensitively around mental illness. How many words are there for crazy? It was

an indication that when it comes to normalising mental illness we still have a lot of work to do. We make references to being mentally unwell as regularly in a conversation as we ask for a cup of tea. ‘Oh it was so busy at the shop… it was MAD! This woman came in she saw a dress she liked and went Nuts for it. Didn’t have it in her size, so she flipped out, went a bit psycho, freaked out … think she was a real nutcase, she had a screw loose, she’s a sandwich short of the picnic basket, [for the gluten intolerant you might need to substitute rice crackers] she’s a bit soft in the head, or off with the fairies, in la la land, not quite right in the head, funny in the head, funny funny not under the stage name of Kulaz in Australia as well as producing their own original material, their first release was in 2002 with a pop/soca titled Please Just Go which was given air play and a live interview with the duo by Sir Charles of 102FM on Mothers Day in Trinidad.

Nigel McTrustry’s unique, soulful voice draws the listener into his world of warm transcendent folk/rock ‘n’ blues. His lyrics are a blend of personal observation, experience, imagery and symbolism, which permeate on many levels, and whether he plays with a band or solo there is a power driving the songs. Originally from Wollongong, Nigel developed as a musician playing with his band at parties, in garages, lounge rooms, halls and pubs and becoming an important influence in the developing Wollongong music scene. Twelve years of travelling the world with his backpack and guitar followed, where Nigel immersed himself into various cultures and environments. Recorded in Brisbane, the debut EP Excursions captures Nigel’s distinctive sound and is out now. Sheoak Shack Fingal Head, 7pm Saturday.

I suddenly became aware of how often I just drop it into my daily speech ‘you kids are driving me crazy’. ‘If you do that one more time I’m going to lose it’. ‘You won’t be happy until they take Mummy away in a straightjacket.’ Maybe, just maybe, our constant cultural streaming of how we can’t cope, how crazy everything makes us, how we are just so stressed out, is a reminder that each and everyone of us is completely and utterly nuts. It’s not one in five who suffer at some time from mental illness. It’s everyone. Being nuts is normal. Just don’t tell anyone. for members and $10 for visitors, including tea or coffee at interval.

Beach soccer a winner at Kirra Connecting Southern Gold Coast is pleased to report that the 22-team pilot Youth Soccer Tournament held last week on Kirra Beach was an outstanding success and promises to be bigger and better next year. ‘We congratulate Dr Jeff Kemp of Gold Coast Soccer Champions Cup and the Kirra SLSC for bringing the Tournament to Kirra’, said Jim Wilson, General Manager of Connecting Southern Gold Coast Ltd. ‘We were pleased to have been invited to participate with the

promotion of the competition and to marshal support from local businesses in the form of prizes and gift vouchers. The beach with its fields laid out, looked magnificent. The Special Events Section of Gold Coast City Council is also to be congratulated for the great support they gave it.’ Teams from most states and New Zealand were represented at the event with a Tugun team playing a WA team for 3rd and 4th position, with Tugun winning. The final was contested by a team from Tasmania and the ACT.

Dr Kemp has agreed to bring the tournament back again next year and players, parents and officials enjoyed the event and said that they would come back again for future tournaments. ‘Beach Soccer has a massive economic impact that in places in the USA. It is big is overseas and untapped in Australia, which has better beaches that anywhere else in the World. We want to have Kirra Beach become the Beach Soccer capital of Australia and this pilot has offered no better way,’ said Mr Wilson.

Rick Kranen, who won his 3rd Gold medal as C Grade Master Australian Champion earlier this year, is half of the winning team who went to New Zealand.

Murwillumbah Rowing Club members, Rick Kranen and John Ryan, traveled ‘across the ditch’ last weekend, to compete in the New Zealand National Masters Championships. The event, a prelude to the World Masters Games commencing on October 10 in Sydney, proved very fruitful with the pair, arriving home with five medals each. Rick, thrice C Grade Australian Champion, won two

gold, two silver and one bronze medal and is now the New Zealand C Grade Champion as well. John also enjoyed great success, winning one gold, two silver and two bronze medals. ‘This was a very good effort’, said John. ‘Rick and I had to overcome the New Zealand climate, borrowed equipment and the language barriers. The Kiwi’s were very welcoming until we started to win their medals, then their welcome

cooled somewhat.’ Rick and John, along with a small team from Murwillumbah and Tweed will travel to Sydney today to compete in the World Masters Championships over the next 2 weeks. The Murwillumbah team has been training consistently and is quietly confident of returning with a good result For more information about the World Matsers Games visit: www.2009worldmasters.com.

An uneasy truce between Hastings Point residents and developer Walter Elliot Holdings (WEH) has ended abruptly with the arrival on the scene of Athol Youngblutt, little brother of deputy mayor Phil. Athol has moved into a house which WEH recently built on a 10ha creek-side property while its application to the government for 57 similar homes enters its fourth year. Apparently determined to share the headlines with his older foot-in-mouth sibling, Athol jumped out of the pages of the Daily News to accuse ‘greenies’ of supergluing his gate lock. Workmen then set about reinforcing a makeshift fence surrounding the property with rolls of rusty barbed wire, thus ensuring all alternative access points were closed. Youngblutt the younger claims the D-Day-style fortifications are needed to keep out locals who he says are destroying mangroves. But his claim to green credentials found little favour with council staff, who have ordered the barbed-wire to be removed.

Hundred-metre specialists Glenn Victor Sutanto, 19, Nicko Biondi Ricardo, 20, Guntur Pratama Putera, 19, Triajy Fauzi Sidiq, 18, with swim coach Gavin Urquhart at the Tweed Regional Aquatic Centre (TRAC) in Murwillumbah last week. The young Indonesian swimmers are undergoing a 10-week training program there to prepare them for next month’s South East Asian Games in Laos. Coach and centre manager Gavin Urqhart recently travelled to Jakarta to promote TRAC as a training venue. Gavin, who coached the Malaysian Olympic team in 2006-08 for the Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games in 2007, said he was trying to set up the local centre as a future training base for overseas swim teams, with all the facilities the Tweed has to offer as a big enticement.

Residents around Ocean Shores and Billinudgel managed to win a few concessions from the RTA when that section of highway was built a few years ago, with lobbying by the community led by the state member. The Tweed campaign will also be better off if it’s not seen as just another National Party political football. ■ ■ ■ ■

Everything old is new again. Budds Mitre 10 in Murwillumbah, in its familar blue building in the heart of the CBD, is having a major refit which will open to the public later this month. Owner George Phillips said, ‘We’re virtually gutting the whole store and redoing the lot’ as the last refit was almost 20 years ago. The historic store (well 60 years is pretty historic) has been a mainstay in the town for paint, garden, hardware and homeware supplies for several generations. Well-known manager (and longtime Budds’ employee) Col Elliot is banking on

a warm reception for the refit. ■ ■ ■ ■

Local resident miffed at the impact on the fragile koala colony of the Kings Forest development has written to planning minister Kristina Keneally gently warning her that her government had ‘a fragile link with those of us who care about the environment’ and that if koalas in Kings Forest ‘get the arse, so will you, but they will be fondly remembered. Please care’. That’s putting it plain and simple.
