Nine runners in race for Richmond Luis Feliu

Nine candidates, including four independents, were officially declared to stand for the seat of Richmond in the upcoming federal election, in one of the biggest fields of candidates in years. The Australian Electoral Commission’s (AEC) Richmond returning officer Michael Averay officially announced the nominations at his Tweed Heads office last Friday before conducting the draw for positions on the official ballot paper for the August 21 election. The Liberal Party candidate, Joan van Lieshout, of Banora Point, drew the numberone spot on the ballot paper, giving her the ‘donkey vote’, where votes are cast in the order they appear. At the last federal election, local party scrutineers reported around 500 donkey votes cast, which, with over 80,000 voters enrolled, did not make much of a difference. Sitting Richmond MP Justine Elliot, of Fingal Head, drew second spot on the ballot paper, the Greens’ Joe Ebono, 51, a manager from Mullumbimby, drew eighth spot while the last position was filled by independent Stephen Hegedus, 33, a lawyer from Byron Bay. Cr van Lieshout, 61, a former Tweed mayor, was not present for the draw, neither was Mrs Elliot or independent Matthew Hartley, 40, a filmmaker from Byron Bay. The other candidates to nominate are: the Nationals’ Alan Hunter, 61, a company director from Mullumbimby and the party’s Richmond chairman; the Democrats’ David Robinson, 32, a poultry farmer from Alstonville; Hastings Point educational consultant and campaigner against bad development, Julie Boyd (Independent), 51; and Nic Faulkner (Independent), 55, a research consultant, from Brunswick Heads. In the 2007 contest, seven candidates ran in Richmond with Mrs Elliot receiving 35,699 primary votes, Sue Page (Nationals) 30,134, and Giovanni Ebono (Greens) 12,168.

Jarrad patrols for success Kate McIntosh

Even a bad day at the ‘office’ is a good one for Cudgen’s Jarrad Cain, who was recently named NSW Lifeguard of the Year. The Tweed lifeguard supervisor beat out 11 other hopefuls to take out the honour at the 2010 Surf Life Saving Awards held on July 25. The awards recognise the outstanding achievements and contributions by surf lifesaving clubs and their members across the state. Former state manager of Australian Lifeguard Service, Stephen Leahy, nominated Jar-

rad for the accolade on behalf of the Tweed Shire Council in recognition of his outstanding efforts in keeping Tweed Coast beaches safe. During his six-year career as a professional lifeguard, Jarrad has been involved in numerous search and rescue operations which have required him to put his emergency first-aid training into practice. Even so, the modest 23-year-old said the award came as a shock. ‘I didn’t think there was any way I’d win it, [but] it’s a real honour,’ he said. Jarrad said he relished the challenges of the

Greens go for broke in lower house The Greens party will run its biggest campaign to date, with local candidates in all of the state’s 48 lower house seats. Greens lead Senate candidate for NSW, Lee Rhiannon, said there was ‘a good prospect that the Greens’ vote will grow once again’. ‘Our candidates offer voters a real alternative to the blancmange being served up by the major parties, especially on climate change and refugees,’ said Ms Rhiannon, who resigned last

month as an MLC from the NSW Parliament to run in the federal campaign. ‘Our lower house candidates are well connected with their local Greens group and community and environment groups. Their backgrounds are diverse, including union organisers, small business owners, artists, school principals, lawyers, environmental campaigners, retirees, authors and full-time parents. continued on page 4

job and the opportunity to work in the great outdoors. ‘I get to go to the beach everyday. There’s not too many bad days and even when there is that’s what gets me through,’ he said. Originally from Ipswich, Jarrad developed a love of the beach early on, learning to surf when he was nine while on family holidays to the Tweed Coast. He joined the nippers at age 11 after the family relocated to Cudgen, and later cemented his dream of becoming a fully fledged lifeguard following a rigorous training process. Since then Jarrad has patrolled beaches stretching from Palm Beach to Ballina and is now based permanently at Kingscliff ’s Salt Beach. He said people skills, physical ability and confidence were vital qualities for any lifeguard. ‘You’ve got to be able to talk to people and have confidence in yourself and in your training,’ he said. Jarrad is now in contention for the Australian Lifeguard of the Year award to be announced in Sydney next month. Photo Jeff Dawson

Past and present Australian world surfing champions and administrators say a new multi-million-dollar national surfing training centre to be built at Casuarina Beach will keep Aussie surfers at the top of the sport for years to come. Federal sports minister Kate Ellis and Richmond MP Justine Elliot last Saturday jointly announced $2 million in funding for Surfing Australia (SA) to build a dedicated surf training facility on land donated by Casuarina Beach developer Don O’Rorke. The facility will enable the surfing body to provide more coaching accreditation and professional development courses to its 22,800 members and 209 affiliated clubs for the sport enjoyed by around two-and-a-half million Australians each year. During a special function for the launch at SA’s temporary training facility at Casuarina Beach, Ms Ellis said that without a doubt Australia was the best surfing nation in the world and the government wanted to

‘safeguard its reputation as a powerhouse for surfing’ with the new facility. She told a swag of surfing champions on hand for the launch, including Tweed-Gold Coast legends Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew and Mark Occhilupo and seven-times women’s world champ Layne Beachley, that they had added ‘tremendously to Australia’s culture and lifestyle’.

‘Positive example’ The centre, expected to be finished by the end of next year, would help a sport which provided ‘a positive example for the next generation of Australian youth’, addressing youth health issues such as obesity. It would employ three full-time and one part-time coach when operational. It was expected to support the development of more than 3,000 elite surfers and coaches each year and run specialised programs designed for women, Indigenous Australians and disabled surfers as well as accommodate visitors to the centre from outside the area.

Ms Ellis said the Tweed’s own current world men and women’s champions, Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmour, led the current crop of Australians succeeding in the sport over the years. Mrs Elliot said the worldclass facility right in the middle of the Tweed Coast made her proud for the Tweed, was ‘fantastic for our kids’ and would ‘shed a light on all our resources’. Surfing Australia chief executive Andrew Stark and chairman Norm Innis praised the government and land donor, Consolidated Properties managing director Don O’Rorke, saying the world-leading centre would ‘ensure we stay ahead of the world in surfing’ and support the sport’s elite athlete development pathway from juniors up. Mr O’Rorke, a longtime surfer, told The Echo he had been a big supporter of Surfing Australia since the township’s inception 10 years ago, housing its high-peformance centre in temporary facilities at the estate.

Councillors on hand at family fun day The final event for Local Government Week celebrations in the Tweed, a family fun day this Sunday, August 8, at Salt Central Park from 11am-2pm has plenty for the kids to do. The week, which highlights the role local councils play in

their communities also offers an opportunity to meet and chat with Tweed councillors. Free activities including sports, a climbing wall, face painting and a jumping castle. The Tweed River Art Gallery will also host art workshops

where children can learn to make clay animals. There’s also a free sausage sizzle. A range of council’s giant plant equipment and machinery will be on show, with children invited to hop on board and get their photo taken.

Ms Boyd said she was approached to stand by a number of residents disillusioned with party politics who felt they had been let down badly by the major parties not addressing major concerns impacting on people in the electorate such as health and hospitals. ‘Our older citizens are facing enormous lifestyle challenges with increasing costs and limited income.

They are so afraid of marginalising voters that they have forgotten what it means to have a point of view.’ Mr Hegedus, who was elected chair of Southern Cross University’s student representative council in 2000, will not preference either major party during his campaign.

MATTHEW HARTLEY Mr Robinson, who described himself as a ‘free range chicken farmer and IT geek’, said he joined the Australian Democrats ‘as I want to work with other parties to keep Australia great and not be forced to vote the party line. My interests are ethical and green farming, small business and protecting the internet. ‘Two things that do make me sad is seeing hospitals and schools feel the need to become part of the political machine to get funding. Police, hospitals, fire and education should be the governments primary purpose for existing,’ he said.

STEPHEN HEGEDUS

Byron Bay musician, activist and filmmaker, Mr Hartley regards each of the major parties with equal disdain. He has campaigned for action on renewable energy to counter the impact of climate change. ‘Had stimulus money been spent building solar farms, we wouldn’t even be discussing an ETS which is going to cost more money, we’d be congratulating ourselves on fixing our part of the problem, leading the world to safety, and looking forward to cheaper electricity. Instead, we have gone in reverse.’

NIC FAULKNER

Mr Faulkner, a research consultant, is calling for ‘a unified Australia, common sense governance, and our society, environment and economy being interrelated, interconnected and interdependent’ He is calling for the abolition of state parliaments, empowering regional assemblies and local government, and a simplified tax system. He wants to create a Central Bank of the Commonwealth with fixed maximum interest rate of three per cent.

Greens go for broke (from page 1) This year, the Greens have: five Senators in federal parliament, sharing the balance of power; 22 Greens in state parliaments across Australia; the first Greens Cabinet positions in a Labor government with Nick McKim the first Greens Minister and Cassy O’Connor the first Greens Parliamentary Secretary in Tasmania; and 100 local councillors across Australia, including mayors and deputy mayors.

It’s mitts off as Tweed green thumbs prepare to vie for gardening glory. The Murwillumbah and District Garden Club’s 33rd annual Garden Competition is now open for entries, with some great prizes up grabs. Gardening enthusiasts can choose from 21 different categories including Bed of Annuals, Bed of Mixed Flowers, Vegetable/and or Herb Garden, as well as Rock, Pebble or Bark Garden. Entries will be judged on August 31 and September 1, with the overall Champion Gardener selected from section winners. Chief steward Margaret Legg also encouraged local schools and businesses to enter the awards. ‘We’d like to see young people involved. There’s some great prizes and it’s really worth going in,’ she said. The club first took root in 1976, with members organising meetings, shows, functions, guest speakers and competitions to help promote gardening in the region. Ms Legg said while interest had waned somewhat in recent years as a result of today’s busy lifestyle and Tweed’s newer style developments, which typically come with ready-made landscaped gardens, the club is keen to see the backyard garden tradition maintained. Over the years the club has

Hospital scare tactics slammed Funds boost for new centre Murwillumbah Hospital will not be closed by a federal Labor government despite ‘scaremongering by Tony Abbott’s candidates’, according to Richmond MP Justine Elliot. Last week, the Nationals’ candidate for the seat, Alan Hunter raised concerns the hospital would close, saying doctors and medical workers feared the new national hospital network proposed by the government could impact on the Tweed’s second public hospital. Mr Hunter challenged Mrs Elliot to state clearly if her government planned to close the hospital and the MP responded by saying the government would not close it, describing the claim as ‘the type of scaremongering we have come to expect from Tony Abbott’s candidates’.

‘The Gillard Labor Government is taking decisive action to build a better health and hospital system, funded federally and run locally. We have increased hospital funding by 50 per cent, and will fund 3,000 new nurses and 1,300 GP’s over the next three years.

State Labor cuts But Mr Hunter said many staff at he hospital were unsure of their future and services had been cut under the state Labor government over the years and despite all the promises nothing had changed. He said fears for the hospital’s future were heightened since reports that Tweed Hospital would be grouped with the Gold Coast-Queensland system. But Mrs Elliot said that only

this week she announced the Gillard Labor Government would provide up to $7 million to build a GP Super Clinic in the Tweed to take the pressure off our hospitals and improve health services for locals. ‘I also announced $360,000 for vital equipment for Murwillumbah Hospital, including an ultrasound machine, cardiac monitoring and camera equipment.’ North Coast Area Health Service chief executive Chris Crawford backed the MP, saying the service wanted to reassure the hospital staff and the local community there was no intention to close it. ‘Murwillumbah District Hospital has a bright future and plays an important role in L-R: Ken Gilmore (Murwillumbah Lions Club), Brian Hills (community centre committee memthe Tweed/Byron network of ber), Wendy Constantine (manager of the community centre), Justine Elliot and Minister hospitals,’ he said.

Off-road access cuts travel-safety fears Kate McIntosh

Murwillumbah pedestrians and cyclists will be better off following the construction of a safe off-road access route connecting new residential estates with the town centre. Tweed mayor Warren Polglase officially opened the 3.53km dedicated pedestrian and cycleway linking Bray Park to Murwillumbah on Tuesday. He said the pathway would help mitigate safety concerns for cyclists and pedestrians sharing the busy arterial route. ‘The original cutting had no verge or pedestrian or cycle access leading to an extremely dangerous scenario for pedestrians sharing the road along a very busy arterial route,’ Cr Polglase said. The $689,077 project posed significant challenges for council engineers given the narrow cutting and the close proximity of driveways from nearby homes. Council engineers employed several groundbreaking techniques to widen the cutting and make room for the cycleway.

Cr Polglase this week paid tribute to council staff for successfully completing the complex project. ‘Due to the significant engineering constraints of the cutting, this was a challenging and costly project and the result is a real credit to council’s engineering staff and the contractors,’ he said.

The new access route which connects Riveroak Drive to Ray Street is proving popular with pedestrians and cyclists. Principal of Murwillumbah Public School, Robyn Edwards, welcomed the completion of the link, saying it would encourage more children to walk or ride to school.

Council contributed two years of funding from its annual $92,200 cycleway program, with additional funds coming from the federal government’s National Bike Paths Project Fund, the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW and contributions from developers for public infrastructure.

The Murwillumbah Community Centre will receive $1.5 million in funding under a reelected Labor government to expand its services for marginalised and at risk people. The announcement was made on Monday by Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, and Labor Member for Richmond, Justine Elliot. The rundown Knox Park facility, which provides a range of programs and services targeted at some of the most disadvantaged members of the community, is now set to undergo a major refurbishment. The new one-stop community centre will include nine individual offices for community service delivery, two multipurpose rooms for community use, a crèche, dedicated space for a youth meeting room, kitchen, toilets and shower facilities for the homeless. Construction of the new centre is expected to deliver an economic and jobs boost for Murwillumbah. ‘The new centre will support jobs during construction in Murwillumbah and provide

vital community services and meeting space for residents over the long term,’ Mr Albanese said. The funding comes on top of $300,000 donated by the Murwillumbah Lions Club and $800,000 committed by Tweed Shire Council. Mayor Warren Polglase this week welcomed the funding promise, saying Mrs Elliot had delivered the goods for the local area. The centre, which has been at its current site since 1996, had outgrown the facility in recent years. It currently provides support, information and referral services to some 12,500 residents each year. This latest announcement comes as Mrs Elliot this week welcomed the Labor government’s pledge to increase family support for families with teenagers if re-elected. Some 2,087 families in the Richmond region would benefit under plans to increase the maximum payment rate of Family Tax Benefit Part A by more than $150 per fortnight for teenagers aged 16 to 18 years who are in school or an equivalent vocational qualification.

Head from Victoria recently with husband Nick and their two young children Cody and Grace, said the students also carried out ‘enrichment’ plantings in the showpiece Dreamtime Pathway garden as it was already ‘beautifully established’. ‘I’d call it an arboretum actually, it’s very educational and I like the way everything is labelled. She said local Coastcare president Kay Bolton and the school’s general assistant Franc Krasna had a great knowledge of native plants and bush tucker and they helped the kids learn about their environment. Jodi said the children absorbed quite a lot from the planting activities and took

pride in the trees they’d planted and gardens they’d established. ‘I came from a rural area in Victoria after holidaying up here for over 14 years and decided this is where I wanted to bring my kids up, it was a great community and so welcoming, and I have a passion for land care, so this fits in well too.’ School principal Matthew Jacobson said the gardens and pathway were the pride of the little school which had around 64 students enrolled. National Tree Day was celebrated throughout the shire at the weekend with local landcare groups planting hundreds of native trees.

Brothel boss pleads guilty over Elliot killing The owner of a brothel in Chinderah has admitted to organising the bashing and intimidation of his rival, radiographer Victor Elliot, who was shot dead during the attack in May 2000. In the Supreme Court yesterday (August 4), Daniel Clayton Scott, 36, pleaded guilty to being an accessory before the fact to manslaughter, and accessory before the fact to assault with the intent to rob while armed.

Mr Elliott, 50, was shot dead by two former soldiers in a bungled kidnap and extortion attempt as he left the construction site of a legal brothel he was building in Moreton Street, Chinderah. Australian Associated Press reported that crown prosecutor Chris Maxwell, QC, told the judge that Scott was angry that Elliot’s brothel was only 300m from his own premises. In November 2007, former

soldier Mike Anthony Grupe was jailed for at least 14-and-ahalf years after pleading guilty to Mr Elliot’s murder. His accomplice in the shooting, former army colleague Dale Gary Utz, was killed in 2003 by Grupe, who was acquitted of his murder on the grounds of self-defence. Scott’s sentencing will be mentioned before Justice Peter Hidden in the Supreme Court on August 13.

Avoiding the gridlock

Snapping at marine parks

Marine parks proposed for the east coast has surfaced as a local election issue, with the usual suspects lining up to attack the plan. The National Party leader Warren Truss was on the campaign trail on the Tweed this week and met with local fishermen concerned about a draft plan for a marine reserve from just south of Tweed Heads to the northern tip of Cape Byron Marine Park. The fears by fishermen is that the federal government plan would devastate the commercial and recreational fishing industry, which is far from the truth. Since marine reserves were declared along the NSW coast some years ago, anecdotal evidence is that the dwindling fish population, blamed on overfishing, is returning to levels of many years ago and fish sizes around this area have increased as a result. The government has always compensated commercial fishermen when their licence numbers are reduced in a bid to preserve our fish stocks. Sure, some over-equipped rich recreational fishermen who own big boats may be upset, but the average recreational fisher should welcome the move which improves fishing all round.

when the rot set in, they demanded that he be replaced, precipitating a vicious split in the party that utterly derailed Julia Gillard’s already abysmal campaign for re-election. Polling replaced principle; the views of a shonky focus group in the western suburbs of Sydney were considered more important than consistency, decency, commonsense and the ideas and ideals on which Rudd had been elected in a landslide less than three

Their sole talent is supposed to be strategic and tactical – they are meant to know how to win elections. As has now been proved conclusively, they don’t. Like all idols they continue to exist only because their followers believe, wrongly, that they have real power. They don’t. These be your gods, O Labor.

I

n what must be the supreme irony, Labor is now turning to the leader it spurned,

Rudd realised that the factions and their warlords were not only superfluous but destructive… by Mungo MacCallum years before. Rudd’s real crime was summed up by one of his executioners, Senator Mark Arbib: ‘he has stopped listening to me’. Julia Gillard, apparently, still is listening, and is likely to suffer ignominious defeat as a result. Rudd, to his credit, realised that the factions and their warlords were not only superfluous but destructive, and took them on early in his prime ministership; he has now paid the price. Gillard accepted their inevitability and dominance, and is likely to pay an even greater price. But while the Labor Party might lose, the factional leaders can’t; safely ensconced in the senate seats into which they have inserted themselves, they have no responsibility to service an electorate and can devote all their energies to maintaining and enhancing their own power bases. This is their real purpose in life: they have no vision, ideology, imagination or sense of public duty.

Bill McCullochs

Kevin Rudd, to try and save a few seats from the potential carnage. Before entering hospital for the emergency removal of his gall bladder Rudd issued a statement indicating his willingness to join the campaign throughout Queensland and anywhere else for that matter. Presumably it is hoped that this show of loyalty will at least ameliorate the damage done by the war of leaks and allay the resentment in the sunshine state over the dumping of the home town boy. All the signs are that the rejection of Labor has now gone far beyond such parochial limits, but desperate times demand desperate measures. Just how desperate is indicated by the fact that Gillard has said she is not only hoping, but praying, for Rudd’s speedy recovery so that he can get back on the trail. If our proudly atheistic leader has retreated to the religious rituals of her childhood, she

must indeed be in need of a miracle. On a more cheerful note, wasn’t it good to see that hard but strangely attractive woman with the steel-capped black boots, Laura Norder, getting a gig in the campaign last week. Laura is normally only exhumed from her home in the political gutter during the dark days of state elections; she is, after all, a state rather than federal responsibility. But having nothing better to offer, Julia Gillard invoked her to safeguard the populace against knives, knuckledusters, stun guns and, improbably, gas-filled dart guns for sharks – I’ll bet you didn’t know sharks carried guns. Not to be outdone, Tony Abbott summoned Laura to his side to help combat gang violence – if any gangs threaten violence, she’ll belt the crap out of them. In the circumstances reports that the Family First Party had approached the Australia Sex Party (Real Action!) to suggest a preferences deal seemed almost credible. And it was no real surprise to find Julia Bishop on television with the Chaser team, employing her famous death stare to best a garden gnome. Can this campaign get any worse? You betcha. The former room temperature foreign minister Alexander Downer waited until Kevin Rudd was safely sedated, and then accused him of acting as a conduit for Downer’s own malicious, disloyal and possibly illegal leaks. When Rudd came to and said he might sue, Downer claimed to have been misunderstood. But Julia Bishop said Rudd had been known to swear, so that must prove something. And there are still two and a half weeks to go.

Just 16 more sleeps to go‌ Q I’m appalled at the way in which this election campaign has been reported in the major mainstream media. I’ve had enough of the gossip, rumour, innuendo and misogynism which has totally shifted any focus away from important issues and big picture leadership. I’m also fed up with major party politics derailing democratic process by sidelining any views other than their own and making bureaucratic process so ridiculous it has taken 27 years for the community to undo damage that has been done to Hastings Point, as well as so many other places. That’s why I agreed to put my hand up as a Community Independent again. I’m inviting anyone else who has also had enough to join my ‘community campaign’ and give us a genuinely shared voice. Go to my website http:// www.julieboyd.com.au and follow the links to see what I stand for and how you can join in. You can send a message to

BB is OK In last week’s Backburner an item mentioned the Stardust Room at Seagulls hosting many international acts including the late B B King. Has somebody assumed that because he is elderly he has probably passed away or is there something I don’t know, but would like to know? I have just returned after about three months away but nowhere – radio, TV, newspapers or word of mouth – did I hear of B B King’s passing. As a huge fan I ventured on to the net to his home site and there was not a mention of anything negative. I would appreciate a response to this enquiry as I and many other B B fans would like to know. If the worst has in fact happened, once again I would like to know the circumstances. Tony Rockley

Hastings Point Community Independent for Richmond Q The Echo has repeatedly highlighted the desire to destroy Cudgen prime agricultural land with development. I believe farmland right across Australia is now under threat, our good farms are being bought up by overseas countries, with no protest from our federal or state governments. With the federal election just three weeks away, the protection of Australian farming assets should be high on priorities of aspiring politicians, unfortunately it does not seem to be. I believe all our farming problems can be attributed to those who signed the Lima agreement in the mid seven-

This is in addition to the $375 million promised last year to the Gold Coast light rail. In total $1 billion of federal money is committed to Qld passenger rail services. Trains On Our Tracks (TOOT) is quite astounded to see that federal Labor are happy to fund whole new passenger rail lines in Redcliffe and the Gold Coast, while the Casino to Murwillumbah line lies unused. For years Richmond MP Ms Justine Elliot has been telling us that passenger rail is a state issue – clearly that rule only applies here. The short Redcliffe line is for 84,000 people, while the Casino to Murwillumbah line would serve over 100,000 residents plus 1.4 million tourists. Federal Labor is talking about sustainable population but they’re allowing the Northern Rivers’ sustainable transport infrastructure to lie dormant. The Casino-Murwillumbah line is a very cost effective transport corridor as it’s already there – there’s no land to resume, the track is there, many steel sleepers are in place, the major earthworks are done, the tunnels are solid and the stations exist. The Casino-Murwillumbah line serves so many people as it has been there for over 100 years, and towns and villages have been built along the line. Eighty six per cent of Lismore and Byron shire residents live within 5km of the line (source: ABS Census 2006).

ties. The Australian signatories to that agreement enjoy their politician pensions, with all their perks. On the other hand good Australian farmers have to sell their inheritance, and livelihood, while Australia imports second grade produce. All the Green party has to offer is protection of trees, and the destruction of a way of life most Australians take for granted. Yes, I refer to the proposed ban on fishing. Do these people realise the unemployment their draconian laws would cause, the businesses that would close? It seems to me anything that is family oriented and job creating is against Green philosophy. I believe before casting their vote people need to think carefully; if the wrong people gain control of government there will be far reaching and disastrous consequences for our country. Carl Redman

In black and white J Burness’s letter in last week’s Echo was spot on about Tweed Council being responsible if the caravan park floods due to council approved development that included raising the height of Ozone Street by one metre. The council’s own Acting Senior Town Planner states Ozone Street cannot be used as the emergency flood exit, which residents have used as such for over 20 years, because Ozone Street would have to be built up and the height would impede drainage from the caravan park to the waterway – yet that is exactly what they are allowing a developer to do. Build up Ozone Street. How contradictory that they have admitted raising the road level will impede drainage, in other words create a dam-like barrier that will flood the caravan park. So obviously council will be fully responsible for any damage to the homes and possible loss of life, especially as council stated, ‘A thorough assessment of the flooding and drainage was undertaken by specialist engineering staff ’ which to me appears as if they are all contradicting themlves or totally incompetent. I wouldn’t want them in charge of a chook raffle. But at least it’s in writing that the raising of the road level will impede drainage, so they cannot say ‘We weren’t aware’. They will have to take responsibility for their actions!

The South Tweed and Banora Business Focus Group (BFG) supports Tweed Shire Council’s important initiative at its last meeting which would enable commencement of early works on the Kirkwood Road extension. Tweed business customers will have to compete with all local traffic through a roundabout at the northern interchange to exit the area once the RTA has completed works associated with the Sexton Hill upgrade. Currently Minjungbal Drive caters for 27,000-plus traffic movements a day and this current traffic congestion will be exacerbated once all southbound Banora Point East, Darlington Drive, Terranora Road and Barneys Point exits are closed and local traffic is pushed through this roundabout. The BFG is not convinced the RTA has the right traffic solution and firmly believes the long-term economic viability of the South Tweed CBD would be secured if the Kirkwood Road project is brought forward urgently. Moving forward, this matter has been kicked around for far too long and the BFG will be asking all candidates in the upcoming federal election where they stand on this project and to commit to the balance of funding for this project as the South Tweed CBD is the economic powerhouse of the shire, with over 200 businesses

Byron Bay Writers Festival

PRESENTED BY THE

AUGUST   Workshops from August 2

A first-time author looks forward to catching up with his heroes

A gathering of great Australian writers and thinkers Justin Sheedy

One of the most exciting events (some would say the most exciting) on the Australian Literary Calendar, this year’s Festival features a veritable Metric Shitload of influential identities from the Australian literary and media scene. Oh, and there’s a few journalistic types in there as well – some newcomer by the name of Kerry O’Brien, they don’t think he’ll amount to much … To think, I’ll be in actual gawking distance of individuals whose mastery of words I’ve so long admired, enjoyed, and humbly aspired to. Festival Guests of Honour include 2007 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Megan Stack, war correspondent, Moscow bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times and author of ‘Every Man in This Village is a Liar’: An Education in War. Megan will feature ‘In Conversation’ with that Kerry O’Brien fellow. Should be a beauty. Oz trouper of stage and screen, William McInnes, is also way up there. I thoroughly enjoyed Part 1 of 4 of The Making of Modern Australia – ABC TV, Thursday nights, 8:30pm, based on his recent book release to be featured at the Festival. On this year’s program, there’s just so much to be part of, to learn from. In chronological order, among my personal pick of Events is:

Friday 2:30pm: Bodice ripping: writing sex and intimacy (well, nothing much I can pick up there but I thought I’d saunter in) – Panel with Kathy Lette, Laura Bloom, Kim Falconer and Krissy Kneen, chaired by Rosemary Sorensen in the Macquarie Marquee, North Beach Festival Site. Saturday August 7, 8am: Breakfast with Monica Trapaga at St Elmo’s, Fletcher St, Byron Bay. I’ll be staying with my parents who live near Byron – Mum always says I should eat a good breakfast, especially the morning after the night before and, let’s not deny it, in this case the night before will be the Festival Opening Night Party (cue sound effect: bottles tinkling…). Saturday 11:45am: 30 Minutes with Tony Martin – live readings and musings from one of my comic heroes. Mac-

quarie Marquee … I also like Tony Martin. Saturday 1:30pm: Truth and nothing but the truth: getting history right – Panel with Mike Carlton, Michael Cathcart, Sam Everingham, chaired by somebody called Mungo MacCallum… Blue Marquee, Festival Site. Saturday 5pm: Meet Kathy Lette – Byron Theatre, Byron Community Centre, Jonson St, Byron Bay. Well maybe it’s just me but I can’t think of Author Justin Sheedy. any sane, heterosexual man Sunday 8 August, 1pm: who wouldn’t like to meet Ms Clever, clever men: writing Lette… satire for performance – PanSaturday 8pm: The com- el featuring John Doyle, Tony edy hour. Or two – Up-close, Martin, Tim Pye, chaired by live and personal insights by Jacqueline Woodman. All I comics Lily Bragge, John Doyle can say is, the first three words (another comic hero of mine), of the event title here stand Tony Martin, Tim Pye and Ak- as an example of the English mal Saleh on the voodoo that language at its most accurate. they do so well. Byron Theatre. Macquarie Marquee.

Pluto till lately, you’ll know that Tony is one of Australia’s best and most intelligent comic talents, the man who brought us Bargearse, who has been making us laugh and think since the D-Generation Susan Maushart brings us The Winter of Our Disconnect, an hilarious and insightful read about how she and her family unplugged themselves from our modern techno reality – and survived (!). I assume that our discussion may touch on the contrast between family life now and my own experience of family life in the 1970s where, aside from black-and-white TV, there was no technology… Brian Thacker, intrepid travel-writer extraordinaire, will be talking about his latest release, I’m Not Eating Any of that Foreign Muck. Travels with his old dad on the Costa Del Concrete – hilarious reading. I spoke to Brian and he’s clearly a regulation Top Bloke as he said nice things about my own book.

with veteran authors Peter Skrzynecki and Rodney Hall, panel chaired by Dr Phillip Edmonds, a prolific force in Australian academic and literary circles and founder of Wet Ink, magazine champion of new writing. Hall’s Popeye Never Told You is his own story of growing up in the at times surreal world of wartime Britain.He tells it with the involuntary objectivity of a very young child. How he captures life’s fleeting moments of perfection. Or rather, how, being what they are, they can never be ‘captured’. My own more recent story in Goodbye Crackernight seems by contrast one of an idyllic childhood, though the 1970s Australia I describe had changed little from the 1950s Australia of Clive James’ Unreliable Memoirs. That said, just as I was growing up, so was Australia – a country on the very verge of turning from a Whitebread Anglo post-war society into the multicultural Oz we know and love today.

As for my own involvement in the Festival (and yes, I am still what is described in mediSunday 4-5pm: Simpler cal terminology as ‘Stoked’), I’ll times: boyhoods of the past.

Sunday 10:45am – 12pm: You can’t pick ’em but you can pick ’em clean: families as fodder.

The Byron Bay Writers Festival presents the most boisterous sports lunch yet: Having a Ball: why sport matters. This lively event will be held on Thursday August 5 at the Bangalow Dining Rooms, Bangalow Hotel, Bangalow from 12pm-3pm and will include hearty food and a gluttony of sporting banter. ABC radio personality Michael Cathcart will referee the conversation between people with a lot to say on the subject, each with a different sporting background, each sharing their personal perspective. Front and centre will be Phillip Gwynne, author of the hugely popular Deadly, Unna? When injury forced him off the football field, Gwynne lived in Thailand, Belgium and Brazil before settling in Sydney. With a background as a professional Aussie Rules player and writer of an international best seller marrying themes of youth, race and sport under his belt, who better than Gwynne to ex-

plore the cultural importance of sport in Australia? Joining Gwynne on this meaty panel is ABC reporter, producer and radio personality, Steve Cannane. A Walkley Award winner, Cannane is a champion of pop culture, current affairs and cricket, especially backyard cricket, the subject of his book detailing great Australian cricketers and the backyards that made them. Keeping the ball in the air is former AFL star Adam Ramanauskas. After battling cancer an unbelievable three times from the age of 22, Ramanauskas tells his story in Nine Lives: a personal account of his battle with cancer, a narrative of triumph over adversity. The legendary Mark Skaife, pictured, is a five time winner of the V8 Supercars/Australian Touring Car Championship and also a five time winner of the Bathurst 1000. After vocate for road safety, with his an extremely successful racing mission to reduce Australia’s career Skaife retired in 2008 national road toll. and instated himself as an adFine food, keen conversa-

Over fifteen years, the NSW network of Writers Centres, NSW LitLink, has created a fertile and hospitable environment for writers to work with many levels of support and increasing pathways to publication. The second year of the Byron Bay Writers Festival LitLink Unpublished Manuscript Awards celebrates the high professional standard of writing that can now be found in all areas of regional NSW. Five writers made the shortlist, their origins ranging from the South Coast, through the Blue Mountains and Hunter areas to the Northern Rivers. The five manuscripts are all of exceptional quality, sure in the creation of a particular and often startling world, confident in the narrative passion and skill necessary to draw readers into that world and to keep them there, enthralled.

ARIES: Your driving planet Mars changing signs brings an astral stimulus package that requires intelligent handling. Forget channeling your default persona the Battering Ram and aim for controlled personal assertiveness, because this coming month needs you thinking smart as well as fast. TAURUS: Start polishing your people skills because this week calls every erg of the famous Tauran patience into play. Fortunately there’s excellent earthsign energy operating on your behalf to keep all four hooves firmly on the ground - until you kick them up for a well-earned fling.

new ideas, aerobic socializing… Gemini moon activates pressure on shared resources, but it also brings a stroke of luck if you listen to Mercury’s sensible voice and don’t nag. CANCER: The less you expect from this week the more you’ll enjoy circumstances which could be either tragic or magic, depending on whether you focus on gratitude or dissatisfaction. Environment will play a major role so make sure yours is loving, artistic, entertaining and stimulating. LEO: As this week’s dominant species you’re leader of the pack: directing operations with fine leonine style, big hair and Cecil B. de Mille flair.

always so much more impressive to wait till you’re asked. VIRGO: Fault-finding’s top of this week’s don’t-do list. It won’t be well received, and since you’re extra-sensitive to criticism right now it makes sense not to dish any. Rather than judge others, see them as catalysts getting things moving – one less job for you. LIBRA: When astrologers say there’s good news and bad news, the bad is often that Saturn’s in your sign – which is also the good news because Saturn loves restructuring Libran partnerships. So while this week challenges friendships, it also expands your social circle and forms new connections.

SCORPIO: This week takes no prisoners but will give intense lessons on the value of generosity, integrity and authenticity – and who handles intensity better than a Scorp? If your expectations are detonated or plans unraveled, then rise to the challenge like the grand strategist you are. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarians like shaking things up, but this week the universe does it for you as Mars in your zone of personal growth and travel deepens relationships, prunes non-essentials and increases your appreciation of what you already possess. A highly creative week: have fun with it. CAPRICORN: A watershed week, but one still pumping with zesty potential and positive turning points. Major changes need you thinking variety, so don’t get too set in any one direction. Listen to different

opinions, consider new approaches and choose solutions that mean less stress, more enjoyment. AQUARIUS: This week needs teamwork, along with staying objective in circumstances where objectivity’s difficult. While Mercury’s present placement has a steadying effect on your wild mind, best not be a stranger to your inner censor because people aren’t likely to find remarks about their personal quirks amusing. PISCES: This week might pressure you to do something you don’t want to, or alternatively block your doing what you want. But with the astral weather report predicting storms, emotional control’s your number one ask because outbursts won’t achieve the results you need.

Epic Skate Rink live band night

Andrew Clermont, Josh Bennett and Parvyn Kaur Singh ‘Jeff Beck meets Ravi Shankar on the set of ‘Oh! Brother Where Art Thou’ while dancing in Rio’ are somewhat bold claims to be making, so I am intrigued. It goes on to say ‘A twisted taunt of Celtic blues swing bluegrass jazz Indian adventure.’ Sounds very good so far. So who are these people? Josh Bennett is fresh from a tour of India and sellout performances at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. This internationally acclaimed music prodigy, master of strings, skins and hollow things, is launching his latest CD Echoes of You around the country. Presenting a musical journey on guitar, sitar, dilruba, tabla, didgeridoo, stompbox, plus throat singing, loops and Indian beatboxing, Josh is a remarkable multi-talented artist. Parvyn Kaur Singh combines her rich heritage from ancestral Punjab with elements of jazz, blues, folk and country to perform in her own style. On stage since she was five, singing with her father Dya Singh in his World Music Group, Parvyn’s stunning, pure and soulful voice has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. She performs traditional, contemporary and original songs sung in Punjabi, Arabic, Hindi, Malay, English and Portuguese, and also performs many styles of Indian dance, including Kathak, Bhangra and Bollywood. Andrew Clermont initiated the No-Holds-Barred Fiddle Contest and is a Director to the Golden Fiddle Awards. These are both sponsored by Epoch Violins with Andrew touring the unique 5-string models while also sponsored/ assisted by Maton Guitars, Gilchrist Mandolins and White Swallow Banjos.

In a rambling press release befitting of every yoof event ever publicised, epicATniteLIVE announced via email – buried way down within waffle about it’s past successes – that a band from Sydney will be playing at the Epic Skate Rink this Saturday night. Shinto Katana will be supported by In Hearts Wake, Headwound, The Pony, Emerald Vale, Devour Thy Beauty and The End Is Tragedy. There’s nothing worse than a non-gen Y pompous wordy type preaching about a lack of grammar and spelling, however I take exception here because it was just simply hard to read. Hopefully the gig will be as succesful as the last ones have claimed to be. Young people do need somewhere to congregate and let loose the spotty excess of testosterone. Go yoof, go.

Zennith From the deep scrub of Bulwai Country in Kuranda, Far North Queensland, emerges a new sound of Australian roots and indigenous music – Zennith. They are a core group of six: Aden Brim (songwriter/lead singer), Astro Brim (percussion & vocals), Isaac Crowley (bass), Lindsay Snider (drums/didge/ vox), Biri-Jah (lead guitar) and backing by Willie Brim (keys and vocals). The unique factor of Zennith is they have three singer songwriters all from the same family. August 6 at the Soundlounge, Currumbin RSL.

Preston Train Preston Train are local musicians that have been playing together on and off over the last 20 years. The guys kicked off again late 2008 under the ‘Preston Train’ moniker and are now playing regular gigs around the Tweed/Byron region down to Yamba. On lead vocals is Terry Perkins, bass guitarist is Geoff Loveday, guitarists are Marcus Rainford and Ian Rowe and Dave Bambach plays drums. The band’s repertoire consists of interpretations from The Bondi Cigars, Robben Ford, Donovan Frankenreiter/Ben Harper through to the likes of the Foo Fighters and the Rolling Stones. They return to Murwillumbah on Saturday August 7 from 8pm at the Murwillumbah Bowls Club.

ZENNITH, AUGUST 6 SOUNDLOUNGE

THEATRE Engine theatre production NORPA’s upcoming show Engine is on at the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre, August 10 and 11. Engine features Bob Baines (well known for his role as the Headmaster on ‘Home and Away’) and up and coming Brisbane actor Melanie Zanetti. Each performance also includes local school children from Kadina, Richmond River, Mullumbimby, Coffs Harbour, Dorrigo and Wollumbin High Schools. Ms Zanetti plays teenager Natasha who has lost her brother Stevie in a road crash. She wears Stevie’s clothes and sleeps in his unfinished project car. The only way Natasha can think of restoring her memories of Stevie is by completing the build of the engine from his car. Each performance, Natasha rebuilds an engine on stage, an unusual thing for a young girl to learn to do and it poses the question – how do you actually build a car on stage? It is also a theatrical feat – two actors on stage playing seven different characters. This production is performance based and is a highly charged event about family, community and cars. Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre, August 10 and 11.

papers and then commenced the few sentences that legally undo the union that no man can tear asunder. ‘In relation to the marriage from 1988.’ Shit. It would happen to me. ‘Excuse me. But you’re divorcing me from a man I’ve never met.’ The courtroom breaks into laughter. Turns out he’d mixed up my files. I’m returned to my seat while they find my correct documentation. It’s all about criteria. If the criteria is met then divorce is granted. But I want to know what happened. I want the applicant to make a statement about how their romantic dream became a document to be rubberstamped. I want them to stand up and tell the court. ‘I had an affair’, ‘I’m an alcoholic’, ‘She got fat’, ‘He’s too stupid’, ‘She’s got an annoying laugh’, ‘He started wearing my undies’. Instead it’s just a nod from Big Desk and an ‘Application Granted.’ I leave the court alone. It’s a far cry from my wedding day. But it’s raining. That’s the same. I remember the candlelit hall, the rose petals, the hundreds of friends, my children and the smile on the face of the man I was about to marry. I smile to myself and start the car. Life is just so weird. I don’t think I’ll ever work it out. Hang on, I’ve got it. I’m going overseas and I’m gonna get myself a 23 year old Filipino boy. He gonna love me long time.

ART CONT... lexicon of images. These were drawn from a combination of influences including writings by Freud, Jung, the tarot and alchemy. This exhibition provides the first opportunity for regional audiences to access a representative and retrospective sample of works by this significant Australian artist.

The Industrialists The Industrialists is an exhibition of over 100 mixed media works created by nine artists: Meredith Crowe, Michael Cusack, James Guppy, Ivana Perkins, Robert Perkins, Rick Shearman, Robyn Sweaney, Emma Walker and Christine Willcocks. This group of artists have been meeting over the past two years, away from studio and work responsibilities, to share an informal meal, talk art and make collages. While the works in this exhibition provide a glimpse of the more playful side of some of the region’s well-known artists, they also reveal something of the process of art making – how ideas are born and new directions are uncovered.

Catching thoughts under the sky – Peter Schardin Printmaker Peter Schardin is inspired by his experience of the landscape, which he interprets through play with line, tone, hue and chroma. Peter says, ‘... the landscape is never the same from one moment to the next. The changing light and wind, the stillness before and after a storm, the surge of the sea; all of these sensations evoke different kinds of emotions within me. My approach to work is inspired by the strength and breadth of the landscape and the classical musician Mahler, who said, “a symphony must be like the world, organic and various as life itself. My work is a vehicle to achieve the same result, not musically but visually.’”

All exhibitions will be launched Friday 13 August at the Tweed River Art Gallery, phone 02 6670 2791. The gallery is located at 2 Mistral Rd, Murwillumbah.

Mystery fish wins ‘bewdy’ contest

Gents beach killer whales Story & photo Geoff Campbell

Do you know this fish? Piscatorialist David Solano with his mystery fish. The Echo would love to hear from anyone who can identify this colourful fella – email: sport@echo.net.au. David Solano

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being asked to fish outside by my neighbour ‘Snapper’ Tom. Sunday morning, at a place Tom called the Pinnacle – I had a squiz at the sounder and it looked like Mt Warning underwater – we met up with Steve ‘Bundy’ Curnow and Ryan ‘Roca’ O’Connell. At the Pinnacle I caught a number of small reef fish on a seven inch gulp minnow. After losing lure number ten, I changed to a secret weapon, a 70gm shinno snapper jig.

I couldn’t get onto a snapper but I did catch a nice fish, I have no idea what it was. Catching this reef fish on a bream rod was a lot of fun. The rod was a 1-3kg Gary Howard, the line 10lb castaway braid and 15lb mono leader and the reel a Diawa Steez 2500 with 7lb of drag pressure. Tom ended up with the only snapper of the day caught at one of Roca’s secret spots on a five inch gulp minnow in the Nuclear Chicken colour. The most exciting part of the day was when a whale went by about 20ft away, we had been watching the spouts on the

horizon all morning and then to have one come by so close! Now there’s an encounter I won’t forget. It wasn’t scary in any way, just awesome to see. Bundy and Roca ended up with a heap of fish and apart from a bream I couldn’t recognize any of them, I’ll have to get my almanac out. About that bream, it was a beauty but unfortunately as we were about to take a photo I dropped it in the water! Sorry boys. If you have any fishing news you would like to share with David, phone 0415 747 969.

Klein steps up for NSW titles

The Gentlemen of Murwillumbah in an impressive display of rugby downed Evans River 1312 on Saturday putting paid to the Killer Whales aspirations of a top four finish. A confident Evans River had no answer to The Gents forwards who totally outclassed them in set play as well as breakdowns and with a vastly improved lineout performance The Gents eight delivered plenty of ball to the backs putting pressure on their opponents resulting in a try to Chris Larkin after a steam rolling run from Mick Ford. The Gents halfback Seb Koppel had a steady game giving his backline plenty of opportunities to add to the score. Unfortunately not all were taken. Dayne ‘Snake’ Viant at fullback in another classy performance was rewarded with a five pointer close to the half time break giving The Gents a 10-0 advantage. The second half began with The Gents having to hold off a determined pod of Killer Whales who to their credit finally scored out wide, the conversion attempt missed. There was some great running rugby played by both sides, The Gents forwards continuing to put plenty of pressure on a rapidly tiring Evans River pack, as a result Big Al Whittaker crashed over the line however with the referee unsighted the try was not awarded. A penalty to The Gents saw them increase their lead to their final score of 13, a late try

Three new champions stood proudly upon the winners dais as the Ocean and Earth Junior Surfing Titles rolled on at Boomerang Beach on Saturday. Having witnessed one of the finest days of junior surfing on Friday, day four was as equally impressive with all competitors laying it on the line. Looking to qualify for a birth at the Australian Junior Surfing Titles at Phillip Island, www.tweedecho.com.au

the surfing that transpired was of the highest order. Leading the way in the 18 years division was Codie Klein from Kingscliff who took out her maiden Ocean and Earth NSW Junior Surfing Title in finestyle. Overcoming spirited performances from Rachel Campbell (Stanwell Park), Letarcia Hurt (Salt) and Emily Clapoudis (Port Macquarie), who

finished second, third and fourth consecutively, Klein was elated with theresult. ‘I’m really happy,’ she said after putting together a combination of 11.50 out of a possible 20 in the final. ‘I finished second last year, so winning was the only option’. Behind a strong backhand attack, Klein sealed victory with an eight-point ride with only five minutes remaining.

Keeping an eye on the pie, Phil Brown about to claim the ball in another Gents lineout win.

to The Killer gave their supporters some hope but time ran out for them. The Gentlemen were deserved winners in a game played in great spirit in conditions more suited the game played by the men in white during the summer months. Best for the Gents were fullback Snake Viant, fly-half Brett Underwood and second rower Nigel Beard with Snake’also judged Gentlemens Gentleman by his team mates.

Mick Ford also had a strong game and with a few more games of rugby under his belt will be a prove to be a valuable acquisition for the Gents after being granted a mid season release from across town. Next Saturday the Gents are away at Yamba who are unbeaten so far this season – a tough assignment Elsewhere, Iluka pipped Mullumbimby 8-6,Yamba thumped Bangalow 21-0 and Kyogle were winners against Byron Bay 24-13.

We thought we had a home for Brom, our deaf, 9 month old, desexed male Wolfhound x Dalmatian, but it didn’t work out. He is now back in foster care with Friends of the Pound. He is a lovely dog with a great temperament. He will grow into a big dog, so he needs a home where his size and disability will be understood and catered for. He would love another dog to teach him how the world works! We can also provide information about training a deaf dog – it takes a special person, but Brom is keen to learn. If you can help, please contact Pam at the FoP Adoption Information Booth on 07 5524 8590 or after hours on 02 6676 0078. Visit friendsofthepound.com to view other dogs and cats looking for permanent homes.

Well-known Burringbar local Stuart Cahill was angered to find that some ‘lowlife’ had broken into his son’s hired car last weekend at the notorious Mt Warning car park and stolen personal belongings. Stuart’s son had hired the car to attend his sister Laura’s wedding and decided to take a moment to enjoy the Mt Warning walk, so the theft put a dampener on the happy event for several participants. Stolen was a black Guess bag with two Japanese passports, a blue wallet containing cash, credit cards, a Medicare and VicRail card, a Nokia 1208 mobile phone and cosmetics. Anyone with any information is asked to call Stuart on 02 6677 1699 or 0402 031680. Q Q Q Q

During the launch of Surfing Australia’s new national training centre at Casuarina last Saturday, Aussie surfing legend Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew told the crowd that a couple of decades ago as national surfing coaching director he led a coaching program in Brazil which proved a boon for that country’s surfers with many young Brazilians now reaping the benefits. ‘Maybe we created a bit of a monster there,’ the Rabbit admitted, to laughter from many of the assembled surfers, all too familiar with the Brazilians’ threat to the Aussie domination of the sport.

At the same function, Richmond MP Justine Elliot thanked her federal Labor colleague, sports minister Kate Ellis, for attending and announcing the $2 million in funding for the surfing centre. ‘I’ll come here anytime’, the sports minister quipped, and she was not talking about election campaigns.

While on surfing, this Saturday night (August 7) a ‘Wooden Surfboard Night’ for people interested in wooden surfboards will be held at the Gold Coast Surf Museum from 6.30pm.

a series of press releases published as news stories under a journalist’s byline in a suburban newspaper. The screening attracted a flurry of enquiries from readers concerned our journalistic standards were slipping. Not so. In actuality, the segment featured an independent Perth-based publication which is in no way affiliated with the Tweed and Byron Echo newspapers. Q Q Q Q

Wollumbin High School drama students Tahalia White and Robbie McLaughlan during rehearsal for a groundbreaking new theatre production touring schools across the Northern Rivers. The horror and tragedy of Australia’s rising youth road toll is highlighted in Engine, an initiative of the Lismore-based Northern Rivers Performing Arts (NORPA) organisation which works to promote and develop independent contemporary theatre in the region. Students from across the Northern Rivers, including Wollumbin High, have been invited to perform alongside the actors in key scenes at each performance. Engine comes to the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on August 10 and 11 at 7.30pm and 10.30am respectively and is expected to tour nationally in 2012. For bookings or more info visit www. norpa.org.au or call 1300 066 772. Photo Jeff ‘Spark Plug’ Dawson

The night offers a great chance to mix and meet with other people interested in wooden boards and hear from some the talented individuals who built them. The museum is located on the 1st floor of Honeyworld, opposite Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Cost is $15 per head includes a sausage sizzle and drink.

where the walk appears to have been a bit of a flop in terms of tourism and support. The idea originally had the backing of our current mayor and his supporters who were told the Hollywood-inspired project was way too kitsch and ‘too Gold Coast’ for the Tweed.

The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter has its annual appeal from August 21-29. For the last decade the appeal has relied on volunteers doorknocking, and the collections raised $800,000 in those ten years. But volunteers have become too scarce, so this year there will be a mail-out to ask for donations. The rescue helicopter costs $6.5 million a year to run and needs to raise an extra million to continue its life-saving missions. Sounds like a worthy, close-to-home charity. For more information visit www.helirescue.com.au. Q Q Q Q

Dirty tricks are surfacing in Richmond. We were recently asked by a Liberal Party connection to ‘make a small correction’ to our profile of Richmond MP Justine Elliott, to ‘correct a widespread misconception’ and tell our readers that ‘Ms Elliott has never been a police officer and she has never worn the blue uniform’. This came as a complete surprise to Backburner who knew she had been a serving police officer in Queensland before becoming a pollie. Naturally, Mrs Elliot’s staff were furious over the furphy, saying she had been a policewoman for seven years and providing proof. As it happens, an ad for Mrs Elliot’s campaign that week carried a photo of the MP in her police uniform days, as if to prove a point to any doubting Thomases or Thomasinas.
