Probe on rally funding sought Luis Feliu

When you think saxophone, a freshfaced school student is probably not your first thought (unless you watch The Simpsons). But while Emma Lasker, 18, doesn’t look like the stereotypical ‘saxophone’ player, the year 12 Wollumbin High School student can put any doubts out of your mind when she picks up her instrument and plays. Despite still being in her teens, the jazz-mad youngster is so good she has already played the Sydney Opera House, twice, this week. Emma was one of just 44 talented young musicians (and just one of two saxophonists) from throughout NSW chosen to be part of the NSW School’s State Wind Band. She was selected after regional band camps were held earlier in the

year around the state. The Far North Coast one was held at Lennox Head and little did Emma know how far she would go when she put herself up for selection, which wasn’t bad for someone who was once considered too small to play the saxophone.

All grown now ‘Originally my arms were too short to play the saxophone,’ said Emma, who started her music career playing clarinet at Crystal Creek in Year Two. ‘But I was always interested in jazz and I loved the saxophone. My parents said if I practised the clarinet a lot, they would let me swap.’ In Year Five she finally got her hands on her first saxophone and she hasn’t looked back since (or even put it down for any great length of time).

In fact she intends to take the instrument with her on student exchange next year to Belgium and ‘do a lot of practising’ before returning to apply for the Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane for 2012. She currently studies with jazz musician Martha Baartz and while the average teen may have never heard of him, her hero is the legendary Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker. She hopes to be a professional musician, although this week, with its long hours of practice (six hours on Saturday and Sunday), has been an eye opener. ‘My mouth was pretty sore!’ she admitted. But when you’re playing to a packed Opera House two nights running, and the audience includes your younger brother and parents, it makes it all worth while.

The No Rally Group (NRG) has called for the NSW Audit Office to investigate the secret funding of the controversial world rally held in the Tweed and Kyogle shires last year in the wake of revelations that state development minister Ian Macdonald pushed Sydney’s V8 super car event through Cabinet without proper controls to deal with conflicts of interest. A damaging draft auditor-general’s report, parts of which were published by the Sydney Morning Herald last Saturday, showed that a close friend of Mr Macdonald, who forced the world rally onto Tweed and Kyogle residents last year using last-minute special legislation, helped proponents of V8 Supercars secure at least $35 million in government support for the races, held at the Olympic venue at Homebush last December. The SMH said the NSW Auditor General’s report revealed it took four months for the minister’s department to note the potential conflicts on the file, yet cabinet agreed to support the event with $35 million over five years. The report says the event would cost around $10 million more than the $35 million budget and accuses him of pushing it through Cabinet without a ‘robust financial analysis’. This, according to the report, was despite the minister’s department rejecting the proposal in 2006 and 2007 and the government’s specially created Events NSW also having recommended against it. Events NSW is the body which secretly funded the rally, believed to be around $8 million over five biennial events. As a result of the damning revelations, NRG wrote to the NSW Audi-

tor-General, Peter Achterstraat, this week to draw his attention to the ‘inadequacies of processes involved in the approval and organisation of the World Rally Championships’ and calling for an investigation. ‘This car racing event was organised with financial and “in-kind” support from the NSW government, similar to the V8 Supercar event at Olympic Park,’ NRG wrote via secretary Andrea Vickers. NRG said that under the agreement with Rally Australia, the government provided several million dollars in cash plus additional support from government departments and agencies ‘at no cost to the organisers’.

Government hides costs Despite numerous requests, NRG says the government refuses to reveal the cost of taxpayer support for the rally, including the support, at no cost to the organisers, from all government departments and agencies such as police, fire and ambulance, council and the RTA. ‘The legislation contained an amendment that required a review after the running of the first event. Minister Macdonald appointed Mr Mike Cahill, of IMC Communications, to undertake this review. Mr Cahill is also a ministerial appointment to the NSW Agriculture Ministerial Advisory Council. His appointment to that body has been recently renewed by minister Macdonald. This raises a clear potential conflict of interest.’ Tweed Council’s general manager Mike Rayner, who sits on the rally board despite an outcry of a conflict of interest from rally opponents and some councillors, also came under fire continued on page 2

Snubbed expert to speak on WED Luis Feliu

The views of a renowned Australian expert on sustainable development and planning, snubbed by most Tweed councillors who rejected an offer for her to present a workshop on the issue, are set to be heard by Tweed residents at this Sunday’s World Environment Day (WED) celebrations at Murwillumbah’s Knox Park, from 10am to 3pm. Greens Cr Katie Milne recently tried to have Professor Janis Birkeland address council and staff at a workshop on sustainable planning and design issues but her bid was shot down by the majority prodevelopment councillors. Dr Birkeland, an architecture professor at Queensland University of Technology, argues that design based on current planning practices contributed to ‘vicious circles’ of environmental degradation and social dysfunction. Her latest book Positive Development: From Vicious Circles to Virtuous Cycles promotes ‘design for nature’ which involves creating net positive ecological and social impacts in addition to repairing the environmental damage caused by previous development and restoring ecosystems to their previous state.

During last year’s World Environment Day celebrations, many youngsters enjoyed taking part in a community environmental art installation. The event is on again this Sunday. Photo Luis Feliu

Dr Birkeland, whose workshop starts at 11am, argues that town planning has to consider transport more carefully to reduce reliance on roads and cars by increasing densities around public transport routes and re-

ducing development where it may increase reliance on cars. Other keynote speakers on the day include paleo-environmentalist Mary E. White, botanist and author Robert Kooyman, permaculture ex-

pert Robyn Francis and astrophysicist Dr Paul Taylor. Community artist Heidi Keevers and other artists will also facilitate a community environmental art installation. Q See more on WED, page 10

Nats in turmoil over preselection Luis Feliu

The National Party in Richmond is in turmoil following the shock resignation of its Tweed-based candidate Tania Murdock this week and is scrambling to select a new candidate in just three weeks for a federal election set to be called any day now. A meeting of the Richmond Nationals executive on Monday agreed to open the preselection process immediately to enable them to choose a replacement candidate at a further meeting at Chinderah on June 19. Nominations, which close on June 15, have been called, even from non-party members, showing that the party is desperate to attract a strong candidate to try to topple Labor’s sitting Richmond MP Justine Elliot. The Nats have conceded they risk losing their status as the seat’s main conservative power to the Liberal Party unless they find a strong candidate soon. The Liberals’ candidate, Tweed

councillor Joan van Lieshout, is set to benefit from Mrs Murdock’s sudden demise as conservative voters rally behind someone with a local profile. Mrs Murdock, a Pottsville businesswoman and head of the local business chamber, quit suddenly last Sunday, saying ‘unwelcome intrusions’ on her personal life had distracted the focus of her campaign and she found it was ‘just not worth the personal sacrifice’.

Campaign car shunt But on Monday it was revealed she had been involved in a minor accident in her campaign car at Terranora last Saturday, the day before she quit. This week she denied the accident led to her decision but said pressure involving her personal life, including a recent separation from her husband, had become overbearing. She emphasised the decision to quit the campaign was made well before the accident, after talking with her husband,

suggesting that spiteful and defamatory personal attacks by some of her critics played a major role. Mrs Murdock’s former campaign manager Murray Lees told The Echo he had advised her to mention the accident in her resignation press statement but she refused to do so. Mrs Murdock has insisted the accident was a minor contributing factor and not the reason for her quitting. Richmond’s Labor MP Justine Elliot said in a statement she wished Mrs Murdock ‘all the very best in the future’, while state Tweed MP Geoff Provest, a fellow National, sympathised, saying that ‘when you stand for public office, your family and yourself are put under tremendous pressure and scrutiny’. The Nationals’ Richmond chairman Alan Hunter said potential candidates to replace Mrs Murdock ‘need not necessarily be current members of the Nationals’ and invited interested people to contact them.

NRG seeks rally funding probe (from page 1) from the NRG in their letter. ‘In the absence of clear and open processes for managing any conflict that might arise, that Mr Rayner has a conflict of interest in serving in both positions concurrently, even though council approved his membership of the Board of Rally Australia. There is, at the very least, a potential conflict of interest. ‘The actions and decisions of government at both state and local levels, in addition to the way in which rally organisers acted in the lead up and during the event, have caused much social division and disharmony in 2 June 3, 2010 The Tweed Shire Echo

the local area,’ the letter says. ‘No answers have been forthcoming from government, or the organisers, about the secret deals and secret funding of this event from the public purse. ‘I appeal to you to use your powers as Auditor-General to cast some light among the shadows surrounding this event.’ A spokesman for the AuditorGeneral told The Echo yesterday that he had received the letter but not yet considered it. Meanwhile, the Kyogleshire based protest group 7th Generation says the rally had a major impact on the social

and natural environment. ‘While animal kill was of great concern to us, and it is a wonder that more carnage did not occur, we were as much concerned with the disruption to individual and community life; and the misinformation fed to the locals from the organisers at the three levels – Rally Australia, local councils and state government.’ 7th Generation president Warren Smith said. ‘The rift to the social fabric of communities in northern rivers does not have a cost – it is too high a price to pay.’ Q See Editorial, page 6

Council dobs in resident Ken Sapwell

Tweed Shire Council has taken the unusual step of reporting a ratepayer to the Minister for Local Government for making derogatory comments about council boss Mike Rayner. Aboriginal affairs activist and Eungella resident James McKenzie became the subject of a secretive missive to Macquarie Street after lambasting Mr Rayner’s role in last year’s championship rally event in the Tweed. Mr McKenzie used a public meeting in February to accuse Mr Rayner of having a conflict of interest in the event after the council appointed him to the board of Rally Australia, the event’s organisers. Two weeks later the council met behind closed doors where they endorsed a notice of motion from Cr Dot Holdom to write to both the Minister, Tony Kelly, and the Division of Local Government, about

Mr McKenzie’s comments, according to the minutes of the confidential meeting. Cr Holdom said the letter should focus on the ‘unfounded allegations and claims made by Mr McKenzie against the general manager and council in general’ at a post-rally meeting in the Murwillumbah civic centre on February 3.

Conflict of interest ‘These unfounded allegations include supposed breaches of the code of conduct via conflict of interest and the supposed dishonesty of the general manager in relation to his council resolved position on the Rally Australia board,’ she said. Mr McKenzie, who learnt only last week that he had been the subject of a letter to the Minister, said he was outraged by council’s actions and had lodged a complaint with the NSW Ombudsman. ‘I should be allowed to make comments in public without

the fear of knowing I could be reported to the government,’ said Mr McKenzie.. ‘This smacks of 1984. I can’t imagine what her purpose is except to try and discredit me because I’ve been accusing her and the Aboriginal Advisory Committee (AAC) of making false claims about Aboriginal custodianship.’ Cr Holdom, who is the council’s surviving representative on the AAC following Cr Milne’s shock sacking last month, denied she was targeting Mr McKenzie because of his controversial views. But when asked why she took the unorthodox step of informing the Minister of his comments, she said: ‘Well, who else should I have reported him too?’ Her notice of motion was one of several she tabled during the confidential meeting of council in February, with others relating to changes to the way the AAC does business.

Chillingham check-outs go green Retailers in the Tweed village of Chillingham have volunteered to show the rest of northern NSW that it’s possible to survive without plastic check-out bags. They have taken up a council challenge to become the first in the region to do away with the bags by replacing them with sturdy carry bags. The council voted to kickstart the scheme with an initial donation of 3,500 carry bags and is hoping that other small villages will follow suit. But a council spokesman conceded that billing the village as the first officially declared plastic bag-free town on the North Coast may be a slight misnomer, as the bags are in fact manufactured from recycled plastic material. The spokesman justified the switch with a study showing that bags made from recycled drink bottles were far less environmentally harmful than the production of calico or

cotton materials. ‘They’re reusable and long lasting and will mean an estimated 10,000 fewer bags will go into landfill each year,’ the spokesman said. South Australia banned single-use polyethylene plas-

tic bags on May 4 last year, with all retail outlets affected by the ban. The move is part of an international push to reduce the hundreds of billions of plastic bags that get used globally every year.

Advice from the Chief Product Tester

Tania Phillips

Dear Product Tester, I’ve just moved to the area and I’d like to know what entertainment to expect in the area. Bill. Well Bill, Welcome to the diversity of the Tweed! You name it we’ve got it and you don’t even have to go to the big smoke! Just last week we went to see the Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra, at the Murwillumbah Showground, what a treat!! World class entertainment in a picturesque setting. See, all this culture is even making me speak in three syllable words (I had to look it up in the dictionary!) as I sat back and drank red wine (my wife didn’t pack any beer) and ate fancy cheese (you know the stuff from Burringbar cam and bert I think!) and soaked in all that culture, you know what I saw? Lots of lovely cultured people sitting in camp chairs. I kid you not! Camp chairs and picnic blankets, how cultured is that! (And the odd esky) So if you’re looking for a cultured experience (not of the cheese type) come into ‘Outdoorism’ and we’ll kit you up for your next outdoors experience. (And did I tell you how friendly our staff are?!?!) Your mate Tony

A Tweed newsletter written by young people for young people appears to be getting bigger and bigger after only four bimonthly editions. The Tweed Youth Times, supported by St Joseph’s Youth Service, Tweed Shire Council and Nortec, is written and produced by a small group of youngsters who spend an afternoon per week at the youth service in Murwillumbah and also communicate daily via email. But they need help and are calling for Tweed youngsters aged between 12 and 25 interested in writing, photography, publishing and design to get involved. One of the editorial team, Shey Doyle, told The Echo he suggested the idea for a youth newspaper during a confer-

ence he attended for regional youth groups held in Byron Bay last year. St Joseph’s Youth Service’s facilitator for the newsletter project, Tabitha Loffler, said they decided to follow up Shey’s idea so local young people could acquire skills in media. ‘We have just printed our fourth edition, we print around 1,000 copies using council’s colour printer but we need more young people on board, to join the team to produce it or to send us stories,’ she said. Team member Melanie Keyte said the team distributed copies of the newsletter to store counters around the shire, including video, surf and skate shops, takeaway shops and any ‘youth hangouts’. To get involved or submit articles email t-y-t2009@hotmail.com or call 0439 947566.

The dragon boats were on fire on Sunday, well, not literally, but if they had been there would be plenty of people to put them out, including the eventual winners of the day’s activities. This year it was the turn of the Flaming Firies (the local Rural Fire Service crew) to fittingly win the Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club’s second annual Tweed Festival Regatta held on the Tweed River at Condong. The fit and fabulous Firies crew beat out a determined challenge from the Tweed Council crew, which went by the name of Tweed Coasters. The junior crew champions were Paddy’s Paddlers from Mt St Patrick College, the Dragon Spirit award went to the colourful On Track Families team and the Sleeping Dragon’s award was won by The Pointers from Banora Point High School.

Top competitive sports crew award went to Grafton for the second year in a row while the ‘Top Sorts’ title was taken out by the Grafton women’s crew. Mt Warning Dragon Boat Club president Chris Lonie said despite worries about the weather on Saturday, the event was a huge success. ‘We have more than 400 paddlers on the day and 22 teams,’ she said of the club’s major fundraiser of the year. ‘We probably raised a couple of thousand dollars, we took more than $800 on the cake stall alone.’ The group is currently raising money for a second boat after paying for their last one through community support. Mrs Lonie said the final total was yet to be tallied with outgoing expenses including a $400 donation to the Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club (which provided safety boats on the day) yet to be added.

Pick a ‘P’ plate In light of both Murray Lees’s and Tania Murdock’s recent and long-term driving habits, it appears that they can’t be trusted to drive a car safely; so they definitely shouldn’t be trusted to govern the country. May I suggest that in the Nationals’ pre-selection search for a candidate, they consider a 17 year old ‘P’ driver, who would certainly be more mature and responsible at operating a vehicle and, perhaps, even more sensible at driving the country. Tim Smerd

A cheeky tongue I am so excited about Kevin Rudd getting into power. Imagine how wonderful life will be now. Cheap food because of ‘Grocery Watch’, cheap petrol with ‘Fuel Watch’ and now the insulation scheme and BER plan. I am sure that they have been all very well thought out and planned, and we will have great value for money. Sure, Mr Howard left us with 57 billion in the bank account, but I am sure these guys can do even better. At least we know that it won’t be like Mr Whitlam who made the world worry about investing in Australian industry because of the sovereign risk. Thank goodness for Kevin07. Hurray for Justine Elliot. Lisa Townsend

Murwillumbah

Spending our money The Labor government must believe that taxpayers have deep and forgiving pockets. In the midst of a worldwide economic downturn, the Rudd government continues to throw away taxpayers’ hardearned dollars in a willy-nilly fashion. Firstly we had the debacle of the roofing insulation and school buildings program where many millions of dollars have been squandered. This was followed by the Henry report on tax reform, which cost $25 million to produce; that equates to fifty thousand dollars per page! Out of this the main idea they came up with was to impose a super tax on the mining industry. Most Australians are finding this new tax unsavory and hard to swallow, so Rudd has announced an advertising campaign costing $32 million to help us swallow it. But the spending doesn’t stop there. On the local scene Justine Elliot has been bombarding all the local newspapers with self promoting www.tweedecho.com.au

A big red light for the rally all over again Q I note with interest an article in the Tweed Link regarding council’s rejection of a development application for a brothel in Tweed Heads South. Quoting the Tweed Local Environment Plan 2000, council decided that the proposal: was inconsistent with the desired character for the area and the Tweed in general; would potentially create adverse community impact, and would create unacceptable cumulative impacts with respect to the character of the area. Given the briefing given to Tweed Shire Council by Dr Stephen Phillips on the divisive impact of last year’s Repco rally, councillors should use the same criteria to give the red light to future rally events. What’s more, the proposed brothel would be less likely to cause harm to koalas.

Neville Jennings

Kingscliff Re: Dr Phillips’s complaint that nobody offered to take up Rally Australia’s tree planting program. Carbon offsets require much more than just throwing money at them or coming up with a large number of trees that looks good when written up in the newspapers. The various ‘offers’ made so far that I have heard of had no details of how anything had been assessed or what exactly was planned, except that money was to be saved by using local volunteers to do the work. What is actually trying to be offset by Rally Australia? Is it just the rally cars on race day? Does it include their reconnaissance laps? Does it include the support vehicles, the officials and racers flying in from around the world, the shipping of all the cars and equipment, the extra police and emergency vehicles coming up from Sydney, and all the other carbon costs? Most importantly, who is responsible for these plantings and the work required ensuring they grow to maturity and become a viable carbon offset Q

propaganda, in particular last Saturday’s Daily News was filled with numerous pages of the rubbish. If every electorate in Australia is spending this sort of money on promoting their Labor member, what is it costing the country? When businesses and households all over the world have tightened their budgets, Rudd seems to think Australians are too stupid to think for themselves, so we need a constant barrage of advertising to remind us how clever they are. If it was the Liberals in power, doing the above, I would be just as disgusted. All advertising should be banned until two weeks prior to an election,

for the next 100 years? The trees have to survive drought, frost, flood, disease, wallabies and the tsunami of exotic weeds. This should not be the responsibility of volunteers and it is of no surprise to hear that they are cautious about signing up to this proposal. Landcare volunteers have enough hard work to do looking after their own projects and I wonder why Rally Australia feels the need to lumber the extra work of taking care of their carbon offset onto them. As a professional bush regenerator, who plants and cares for trees as part of my job and as a coordinator of a Landcare group, I personally feel that if Rally Australia is serious about doing a carbon offset then they must do this with a carbon offset company and not volunteers. The planting has to be done properly and maintenance has to continue until the trees have reached maturity. This will be expensive, but if not done this way they might as well not bother doing it at all. Adam Heggie

Pumpenbil It seems minister Ian Macdonald will soon be forced to answer some questions to the Auditor General about potential conflicts of interest in a number of staggeringly expensive activities including the $45 million Homebush Bay supercars race and the 24-member NSW wine industry board with large catering requirements. Northern NSW had a taste of minister Ian Macdonald when he went on ABC’s 7.30 Report in August 2009 to inform the world that in order to put a stop to Tweed Shire residents’ action to take the Repco rally out of its world heritage listed national parks, ‘…We had to change the legislation or they would take it to court’. This undemocratic announcement, which overrode 12 NSW laws, fuelled an already strong protest movement which indeed ended up

Q

in court – but failed with costs of around $30,000 awarded to the rally. Fundraising for these costs has generated huge public support for the No Rally Group. In the lead up to the rally community consultation was a furphy, newspapers sensationalised every aspect of the event which led to unprecedented hostility against those people who considered democracy, eco tourism and an environment with the highest biodiversity in NSW (and only second to the the Daintree nationally) to be more important than a frenzy of petrol and alcohol consumption. The rally not only divided the community but made world headlines during the event with rock throwing allegations – later discovered to be an hysterical fabrication by rally volunteers. The cost to NSW taxpayers courtesy of Events NSW to promote the rally was confidential but estimated to be around $6m while Tweed ratepayers forked out $120,000 plus extras including use of office space, equipment and our own council general manager on the Repco rally board. The Tweed Aboriginal study was never undertaken, costs associated with travel and accommodation for government officials, politicians, medical,

that’s enough time for us to be force fed false promises. I believe the cost of the above, in particular the advertising, would have been better spent on vital medical equipment.

ambulance and RTA workers plus 180 riot squad police, who arrived on double time in helicopters, cars and motor bikes to keep locals in order, were not made available. The aftermath of the rally was as unimpressive as the lead up, with complaints that the homegrown ‘Speed On Tweed’ event lost out, the Tyalgum cultural music festival had disappointing numbers for the first time due to patrons’ fear of the rally’s impact and many local cafés and restaurants made substantial losses after preparing for the thousands of rally fans who failed to turn up. An independent survey revealed very few businesses apart from liquor establishments were happy with the weekend, which had been touted as generating $27 million for the region. The money

has never been seen despite the local chamber of commerce stating it was happy with the event. With dust still settling it was with a sense of shock when local newspapers recently headlined the rally’s return in 2011. Events NSW submitted costbenefit data to the IMC and these submissions were all to be made public but now apparently they have reneged on this due to ‘privacy concerns’. A recent poll has revealed more than 75 per cent of Tweed residents do not want the rally to return. This rally has all the aspects the Auditor General found wanting with the Homebush race. Let’s hope Tweed residents do not let minister Sir Lunchalot get away with it again.

Organic lifestyle ‘the best way to avoid cancer’: BFA The Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA www.bfa. com.au) says it has further evidence that eating organic is the best way to avoid exposure to harmful carcinogens, following the recent release of a US report. The report, 'Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk, What We Can Do Now' released by the US President’s Cancer Panel and submitted to President Barack Obama, has urged their government to do everything within its power to remove carcinogens and other toxins from food, air and water. BFA General Manager Holly Vyner believed the Ändings mirror what the organic industry has been striving for since its initiation 70 to 80 years ago. 'Organic is about healthy food choices,' Ms Vyner said. 'The prohibition of synthetic agro-chemicals, including all of those linked with health and environmental concerns is a cornerstone of organic food production.' Highlighting unregulated or understudied chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), radon and formaldehyde

<echowebsection=Section Title>

and benzene, the report found that, while environmental exposures do not present a new front in the war on cancer, the 'grievous harm' caused by these chemicals has not been addressed sufÄciently by the US National Cancer Program. 'Consumers who choose organic are often more aware of the potential side effects of farm chemicals in the food chain, and are working consciously to minimise their contact with environmental toxins,' Ms Vyner said. In consultation with 45 experts from a range of industries, the panel investigated a small percentage of the 80,000 chemicals on the US market, putting forward a list of 11 recommendations to deal with 'regulatory, political, industrial, and cultural barriers to understanding and reducing environmental and occupational carcinogenic exposures'.

Kripke, a professor at University of Texas' M D Anderson Cancer Center. Ms Vyner went on to say that chemical-free is only a small part of the organic picture with plenty of research evidence to demonstrate that organic food is the choice when buying food and Äbres produced with animal welfare, the environment and human health in mind. The 240-page report is the Ärst to deal speciÄcally with environmental causes of cancer since the panel was created by an act of congress in 1971.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY JUNE 5, 2010 MANY SPECIES ONE PLANET ONE FUTURE

WED 2010 aims to be the biggest day for environmental action ction WED 2010 aims to be the biggest, most widely celebrated, global day for positive, environmental action. Commemorated on 5 June since 1972, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action. Through WED, we are able to give a human face to environmental issues and enable people to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development. We call for action – organise a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, plant a tree or better yet organise a collective tree planting eort, walk to work, start a recycling drive... the possibilities are endless.

Biod Bi Biodiversity, iod vers ersit sity, iitty ity tty, y th the he in he incred incredcr dible variety of life on Earth that sustains us, is in peril. Species are becoming extinct at the fastest rate ever recorded. Most of these extinctions are tied to human activities and altering the global climate. This year, Kigali [Rwanda] will be the heartbeat of a global celebration of our planet and its millions of species. On World Environment Day, I appeal to everyone – from Kigali g to Canberra,, from Kuala

Interesting. Councillor Polglase opposed a brothel in the Tweed Shire because, as a council, there was a responsibility to maintain the ambience of an area ‘as it is today’ and amended the motion arguing it contravened the council’s LEP because of its potentially negative effect on the character of the area.

Magnificent charter What a wonderful ‘charter’ Tweed Shire Council has, and what a pity only one councillor appears able to understand what it means. Where does running a car rally through world heritage areas fit in with that? Where does filling in wetlands for housing estates to profit developers fit in? Where does removing hundreds of trees and concreting over a waterway which was first mapped in 1897, again for a developer, fit in with their charter? Yes it’s a wonderful charter; we just need councillors who understand what the words mean. Lynda Mack

Flat plate collectors perform very well in warm sunny conditions, as the ambient temperatures are high, but summer is not when hot water requirements are the highest. During cold months when the ambient temperatures are low is when hot water demand is highest and it takes the most energy to heat the water, and so when solar gain is of most value – evacuated tubes greatly outperform at plates under such conditions due to the superior insulation properties.

Poll shows house hunters keen on being green

Prunty eco-house features windmill, solar array, geo-thermal, passive cooking and heating, recycled/reclaimed green materials

A poll released by PRDnationwide shows 59 per cent of home hunters would pay more to buy an environmentally friendly property. Thirty per cent of respondents said they would fork out up to $10,000 more to buy a house that was environmentally friendly, while nine per cent would spend $30,000 or more. PRDnationwide managing director Jim Midgley said sixteen per cent of respondents would pay $10,000-$20,000 extra to ensure the next house they bought was environmentally friendly and four per cent would pay an extra $20,000-$30,000. ‘Most people have a small voice inside of them which wants to protect and ensure the environment stays green,’ Mr Midgley said. ‘It really is a question at the moment of “at what cost� are they willing to pay to have their own environment friendly home. ‘The research shows that installing enviro-friendly features could make the difference to potential buyers, possibly as much as a nicely finished kitchen or bathroom would.’

Mr Midgley said water conservation must rank as one of the most highly desirable Australian green features, due to the nationwide battles with periods of long drought. ‘Second to this, solar energy is quickly becoming the “it� feature to install in not only new dwellings, but existing older homes as well,’ he said. Aaron Maskrey, PRDnationwide research director, said that investors who didn’t want to over-capitalise on being green when it comes to sale time should look to install low cost enviro-friendly additions. ‘If they are looking to keep the property for a long period of time, enviro-friendly additions to the property could prove to be a key differentiator in the market and sellers would have the time to slowly introduce these additions into the property, not putting strain on the budget,’ he said.

Improved checks for home building licences Consumers are urged to take advantage of a new and improved online service for checking home building licences. Improvements to the existing public register on the Fair Trading website have made the search facility faster and easier to use. Ever y year more than 250,000 people visit the home builder’s licence check webpage. The search field has been expanded and includes the ability to search by licence number, licence issue and expiry dates, as well as the name of licensee. The register enables consumers to quickly verify that a builder or tradesperson holds a valid and current licence suitable for the type of work intended to be carried out.

The improvements provide a range of checks to ensure consumers were dealing with a current and appropriately licensed tradesperson. The register also shows the results of any disciplinary determinations and prosecutions against a person, partnership or company. Any person who carries out residential building work worth more than $1,000 in labour and materials without an appropriate licence is breaking the law and can be prosecuted. For specialist work, such as plumbing, electrical, air conditioning and refrigeration, there is no threshold for labour and materials. Consumers should always do a licence check before entering into a contract

with a builder or tradesperson and should only deal with those who are licensed. Anyone caught operating without a licence or contracting with an unlicensed person can incur fines of up to $22,000 for an individual or up to $110,000 for a company. To check the validity and currency of a builder’s licence, visit the Fair Trading website at www.fairtrading. nsw.gov.au or call 13 32 20.

VIRGO: Saturn turning direct in Virgo strikes a reassuring note in the face of this week’s unsettling events. Doing what you do best: organizing and tidying life’s hectic edges into a smoother groove, remains your healthiest buffer against inevitable waves of change. LIBRA: Exciting, challenging and disorienting, unpredictable Uranus could be about to turn life as you know it topsy turvy. But you’re more the lover than the fighter so like any thorough lover, take things slowly this week. Life’s simple, basic pleasures will be the most comfortingly therapeutic.

personal level, if you’re contemplating any sudden major life changes, keep your rebel streak on a leash till Jupiter arrives on side next week. SAGITTARIUS: This Open Sesame week of powerful change comes with a warning for the accident prone, which includes most Sagittarians. Your stars, in an attempt to prevent you being your own worst enemy, strongly advise against precipitous behaviour which could result in injuries, especially to the head. CAPRICORN: If you were anticipating a restful week this probably isn’t it. Rhyme, reason, logic and commonsense could easily fly out the window as brilliant eureka flashes of divine inspiration illuminate your future planning,

especially concerning changes at home and new career moves. AQUARIUS: The high octane zap of independent, unconventional Uranus, your ruling planet, entering the sign of fearless adventurers is unpredictable, uncertain and quite a stress test for fixed signs like guess who? Stable routines grounding you here on terra firma are essential survival strategies this week. PISCES: As whirlwind forces disrupt everyone’s finances, lifestyle and future plans, your ruler Neptune retrogrades, adding extra confusing complications to this week’s mix. But your twin spiritual supports of compassion and imagination act as psychic shock absorbers, especially during Friday’s sensitive Pisces moon.

Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm The Siberian town of Khanty Mansyisk is the venue for the 2010 Chess Olympiad. Two previous Olympiads in Russia – Moscow 1994 and Elista 1998 – have been close to fiascos, and early signs are that the Siberian mining town is struggling even to provide sufficient accommodation for the teams. Yet when the Australian team was announced last week it included all Australia’s active Grandmasters as well as George Xie, who is close to becoming the fifth Australian to capture the GM title. However, Sydney University indicated to Zhao Zong Yuan that they were unlikely to grant Australia’s number one two weeks leave to represent his country at the Olympiad. No official decision has been made yet, but to lose Zhao, who beat stars such as Viktor Korchnoi at the 2008 Dresden Olympiad, would be a heavy blow; without Zhao the Australian team would be struggling to finish higher than 50th. On the positive side, the Olympiad is likely to see almost all of the world’s best players in

action apart from Anand. The US team was also being finalised this week as their national championship concluded in victory for Gata Kamsky. Kamsky beat Yuri Shulman in an Armageddon playoff but it was Shulman who produced the game of the tournament, knocking out the top seed in spectacular style. Saint Louis USA Ch. 2010 White: H Nakamura Black: Y Shulman Opening: French Defence 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Qa5 7.Bd2 Qa4!? 8.Nf3 Nc6 9.h4!? Nakamura seeks to gambit the d pawn, a plan which had worked well for Kasparov in a famous game against Anand. 9...cxd4 10.cxd4 Nge7 11.h5 Nxd4! In earlier games Shulman had played more cautiously with 11...h6, but after 12.Rh4! White stands well. 12.Bd3 h6 13.Kf1 Nxf3 14.Qxf3 b6 15.Qg3 Ba6! 16.Qxg7 Bxd3+ 17.cxd3 Rg8 18.Qxh6 18.Qh7 is safer. 18...Qd4! 19.Re1 Qxd3+ 20.Kg1 Rc8 21.Bg5?! 21.Qe3 Qh7 22.Qh6 would be a draw – anathema to Nakamura. 21...Qf5 22.f4 Rc2 23.Rh2? The only chance lay in the endgame after 23.Qf6 Qxf6 24.exf6. 23...Qd3! 24.Qf6 24...Rxg5!! 25.Qxg5 Nakamura sat for almost half an hour staring at the position but could find no saving grace. After 25.fxg5 Nf5! gives Black a crushing attack. 25... Qd4+! 26.Kh1 Qe3!! 0-1 Amazingly White has no defence since 27.Rg1 and 27.Qh4 both allow a back rank checkmate after 27...Rc1!

Spiritual Sharing Weekend If you like to give and receive freely, than the Spiritual Sharing Weekend is definitely for you. The aim of the weekend is to gather in a safe, caring environment and share on a deeper spiritual level. From health practitioners to healers, clairvoyants, and anyone on a spiritual path or in the service of helping people, can now enjoy the gift of receiving. This is an opportunity to share your services and receive through giving. Set in view of the majestic Mt Warning, the idyllic Gunnebah Retreat is surrounded by lush, subtropical gardens and designed to lift the spirit, inspire creativity, encourage personal growth and deepen connection with self and others. This is the thirteenth annual Spiritual Sharing Weekend, and is a noncommercial community event offering an opportunity for like minded people to share and grow together. The small registration fee covers the costs of the weekend and part of the contribution is that every participant is asked to bring one main course dish plus one dessert, cake or fruit to share, preferably vegetarian.

What I found astonishing was the colours and styles and how much care is taken of the doors, you cannot help but notice the contrast between

Devils victim of an old Hornet’s sting

Cudgen sure know how to keep a good man down, holding the Devil’s at bay and winning their game against in Byron on Sunday afternoon. Photo Jeff ‘Hospital Pass’ Dawson. John Campbell

The Byron Bay Red Devils have dropped out of the NRRRL top five after losing 27-18 to the Cudgen Hornets at Red Devil Park on Sunday. It was not a game to savour, being instead one of those odd encounters where you sense that, despite the fluctuating scores, one side always looks more likely to prevail. And that side, marshalled by thirty-seven year-old former Rabbitoh Craig Field, was always the less mistake-prone Cudgen. The Bay were off to a wobbly start when their full-back grassed a towering bomb on his own line at the end of the Hornets’ very first set of six. The crisis was survived, but a couple of minutes later Byron

tried the tactic again, this time seeing their kick dropped. Cudgen was quick to scavenge the loose ball and put the visitors ahead. Byron were sluggish, but with a break in the clouds and a slap of sun on their backs, they countered with tries to captain Clarence Kelly from a typically incisive dart that saw him bisect two defenders, and a beauty from thier winger. Byron then switched-off, allowing Cudgen to score twice and take an exaggerated 16-8 lead to the sheds. Byron lifted and got its nose in front with two tries, but the more efficient Cudgen soon struck back for 20-18, setting the scene for a tense arm-wrestle to decide the two competition points. In forcing the issue, the

Hornets defended a skinny ten metres, but, despite the baying of the mob, the touchie would not give his ref the tip. ‘That linesman’s a bit of a Hitler, he needs a good clip under the ear’. The Old Bloke’s never shy to indulge in a bit of hyperbole in the heat of battle but, in truth, the Devils were never in control. When push came to shove it was Cudgen who drove play the length of the field in a conclusive set of six, ending in Field lobbing the ball to the in-goal for the Hornets to snatch a try under the posts and a 26-18 lead. Rubbing salt into the locals’ wounds, the Hornets’ number seven slotted a drop-goal that hit the upright before squirting through the uprights.

Buccaneers fend off Gents The Gentlemen of Murwillumbah Rugby Union were hosts to Yamba Buccaneers on Saturday at Banana Field and were unlucky not to cause a huge upset. Yamba were, and still are, unbeaten in the Village Competition, but were given a severe examination by the Gents, the final score: Gents 0 – Buccaneers 12. The Gents forwards completely dominated all phases of play and are now recogonised as one of the best in the Village Competition. The backs are rapidly improving under backline coach Hyde Lotter and are close to getting everything in place to take advantage of the quality ball the forwards are delivering. The Buccaneers’ supporters and coach were clearly disappointed with the result as it was expected that they would give The Gents a mauling. The Gents thought otherwise. Their massive effort was even more

The Gents gave as good as they got, but not enough to score the points against Yamba last Saturday.

impressive, given that Yamba had several players with recent first grade experience. Best for the Gents were Lance at half (3 points), centre Sean (2 points) and forward Luke (1 point). Head coach Peter Crittle praised the team on its effort and was even seen to have a hint of a smile. The ladies day was a huge

To help prepare for winter sports, Sports Medicine Australia, offers these timely tips:

t Acclimatise

yourself to exercising in colder weather. For example, train outdoors instead of inside. t Cold muscles, tendons and ligaments are at greater risk of injury. Warm up, stretch and cool down for longer than usual. t Be aware that sunburn can occur even on cold and cloudy days (especially for snow sports. Apply broad-spectrum 30+ sunscreen to exposed skin. Also wear eyewear with UV protection. t Drink water before, during and after activity. t Don’t drink alcohol. While an alcoholic drink seems to warm you up, it actually dilates your blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the skin thereby increasing heat loss by exchange to cold air. t Dress in layers to trap heat and prevent heat loss. Add or remove layers of clothing as necessary according to exercise level/conditions. t Make sure footwear fits you properly. Footwear that is too tight or too loose will affect skin circulation and cause blisters.

Last Sunday, Donna and Des Cecil finished their almost 12 year’s service as owners of Mt Burrell Fruit (not the store, as we incorrectly mentioned in our story last week) on a high note, thanks to a little help from their friends. The dedicated duo, who will stay on in the area to work on their farm in semi-retirement, said goodbye to the fruit and vegie store they have built up of the past decade at an afternoon of local music and good food at the Sphinx Rock Cafe next door. Among the well wishers were Mt Burrelll’s other seven-daya-week shop owners Di Dittmar from the Mt Burrell General Store and John and Sharon Squire from the Sphinx Rock Cafe. Donna said it was great to get everyone together and even better not to have to rush back to work afterwards. ‘A lot of people see these stores as the centre of the community here, one of the performers couldn’t make it but plenty of locals were keen to get up and have a go. It was a fantastic day and the bands were all fabulous.’ Q Q Q Q

Tweed Council has moved to defuse future stand-offs between communities and telecommunication providers over the location of mobile phone towers. They voted unanimously at last month’s meeting to endorse a notice of motion from Cr Dot Holdom calling for improved community consultation. In future the telco giants must take out advertisements in the council funded Tweed Link over two weeks as well as two independent publications before they lodge any development application for a tower. They must also hold a community meeting and carry out letter-box drops and doorknocks at households likely to be affected. The feedback they receive, including all correspondence, must accompany their development application (DA) when it’s submitted to the council. The crackdown

A reader on a recent holiday to Horsham in Victoria was given a guided tour of the Wimmera River restoration area. She tells The Echo that the river stopped last year’s big bushfires from jumping across it and burning the town down. As a result she says the local council has imposed a 100-metre riparian zone, requiring developers to make considerable contributions to the restoration and creation of wetlands around the river and its estuaries. ‘Already birdlife has returned to the area that hasn’t been seen there for many years. The Tweed could certainly learn some lessons, as could the NSW government, from what is happening in Victoria with regard to sustainability’ and we couldn’t agree more. Q Q Q Q
