Vital protection order to save tree on hold Ken Sapwell

Thor Hoopmann is on his way to becoming a real heavyweight in the kickboxing world. The 26-year old professional kickboxer, who was born and bred in Murwillumbah, is representing Australia in the Martial Art and Combat Sports Games in Beijing this month. Thor is among six Australian kickboxers selected and will compete in the 91kg heavyweight division. Now based at Bilambil Heights, Thor trains at the Burleigh Heads Boonchu Gym in the art of Muay Thai kickboxing. The former Mt St Patrick College student first tried kickboxing as part of a pre-season football training session four-and-a-half years ago and soon became hooked. ‘It’s such an adrenalin rush. It’s the closest competition you can have with someone,’ he said. He now trains twice a day and monitors his diet in a bid to stay in peak fitness. ‘I can’t go out and party very much and I’ve got to stay off the beers,’ he said.

The upcoming international games are the latest achievement for the rising star, who has fought on the Gold Coast, Sydney and Hong Kong. Since starting the sport Thor, who works parttime at his family’s carpet laying business, said its profile had continued to grow. ‘It’s getting more popular now. The shows are bigger and the prize money is better.’

A plan to seek an interim heritage protection order to save a commemorative fig tree at Chinderah has been put on hold pending an inspection by a qualified arborist. Tweed Shire Council held an extraordinary meeting on Monday to consider the protection order after local arborist Brett Hamlin and residents prevented contractors from removing the 114-year-old tree from the carpark of the Chinderah Tavern last week. The meeting, which was held behind closed doors, considered legal advice and a submission from Chinderah publican, Rick Adams, who is worried about his public liability after the tree shed a limb two weeks ago. It voted unanimously to seek an urgent assessment of the tree’s health before deciding whether to apply for the protection order after Mr Adams gave them an undertaking not to remove the tree until the council explores its options. Crs Barry Longland and Katie Milne, who requested the meeting to consider a protection order ‘due to the tree’s heritage significance and the concerns about its imminent removal’, said afterwards the outcome was the best they could achieve. Cr Milne said a report from the council’s cultural officer confirmed that the tree’s cultural and heritage values were ‘significant’.

Govt backs down on developer fees Luis Feliu

The state government has caved in to pressure from councils across the state, including the Tweed, and lifted its controversial $20,000 cap on developer fees councils could charge per housing lot on greenfield sites. The government has also established a $50 million fund for priority infrastructure projects to help local councils in approving housing developments in growth centres across NSW.

Planning Minister Tony Kelly earlier this week made the announcement, describing as ‘fine tuning’ a number of new measures to be introduced ‘on ways to accelerate housing construction and keep downward pressure on house prices’. Tweed Council warned the minister in July that massive housing developments planned on greenfield sites at Cobaki Lakes, Kings Forest and Bilambil Heights would be dramatically scaled back if the developer-contribution

She believed that if the arborist’s assessment proved the tree was in good health the council could act quickly to seek an interim heritage order to provide protection in the short-term. Mr Adams said later he would stand by his pledge not to remove the tree, even though he still believed he could be held responsible if anyone was injured by another falling limb. ‘We could have gone ahead and pulled the tree down and asked the community for their forgiveness rather than their approval,’ he said. ‘But something has to happen, either it’s pruned or made safe. It’s not about a tree. It’s about a duty of care, about having a safe workplace.’ Mr Hamlin, who staged a sit-in under the tree to help foil its removal, says the tree is in good health and likely lost one of its limbs because of the weight of a climbing cactus which was invading it.

Commemorative tree The tree was planted by retired Cudgen policeman-turned-publican James Lewis Brown and his wife to commemorate the birth of their second son in 1894, according to local historian Di Millar. Residents who turned out to protest against its attempted removal last week included two of Mr Brown’s descendants, bringing into focus council’s past failed attempts to draw up a local heritage register. It has also triggered renewed calls for an overhaul of council’s laws to ensure that trees enjoy the same level of protection as they do on the Gold Coast and Byron shires where in most cases landowners must seek council approval before removal. In the Tweed landowners can nearly always get away with removing any trees at any time as long as they can argue that it was in pursuit of a rural activity or they had been damaged in some way. Ms Millar said she believed the community wanted landmark trees such as the Chinderah fig to have some level of protection. ‘The trees are an important living history and people are getting sick of seeing some of them turned into sawdust,’ she said.

Northern Rivers Family Day Care

Tweed’s Emmy connection a winner It’s not every day your son calls from a Hollywood party to say he’s won an Emmy Award. Bilambil Heights couple Judith and Norman Pike say they couldn’t be prouder of their eldest son Rolland, who took out the Emmy Award for best art direction in a mini-series or movie for his work on The Pacific. ‘They don’t hand them [Emmy Awards] out too easily,’ said 80-year-old Norman. ‘We’re just thrilled for him. We’re very proud.’ The award was presented at last week’s Creative Emmy Awards in LA, held ahead of the main award’s ceremony held this week. Rolland spent 15 months working on the $220 million World War II drama, which was produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. As part of his role, Rolland was responsible for bringing the film’s epic military scenes and props to life. The ambitious 10-part series, which was shot largely in Port Douglas in northern Queensland, was also named best TV mini-series. Speaking to The Echo from Melbourne, Rolland said he felt honoured to receive the award. ‘Obviously it’s very exciting, to be a part of something like this, it was a massive project on a world scale.’ The annual Emmy Awards salute excellence in television and are largely regarded as the small screen’s equivalent of the Academy Awards. Rolland, who works on a freelance basis, joked he is ‘actually unemployed and looking for work’, despite receiving the accolade. Although educated in Melbourne, Rolland retains a strong connection to the Tweed where his parents have lived for the past 20 years. His first feature film, Beverly Hills Family Robinson, was also filmed in and around Fingal Head in 1997. He has since gone on to work on top Hollywood pro-

ductions including acclaimed US war film The Thin Red Line and TV comedy series The Starter Wife, for which he was also nominated for an Emmy Award in 2007. However, the glamorous red-carpet event is a world away from Rolland’s humble

career beginnings as a labourer in the prop department for a Melbourne film production company. Rolland’s brother, Anthony, a local author and environmentalist based at Cudgera Creek, said his brother had worked hard for his achievements.

‘Rolland won his first film award whilst still a teenager and has worked hard ever since. ‘It just shows how hard work, dedication and a little luck along the way can see your dreams come to pass,’ he said.

Vaccination urged after measles outbreak Tweed parents of school-aged children are being urged to check their child’s immunisation records following a recent outbreak of measles. Warning notes from health authorities were sent out to parents across the shire last week after six students at a Tweed Heads school contracted the disease. North Coast Area Health Service’s director of public health Paul Corben said measles, which could be spread by coughing and sneezing, may have serious complications for up to third of cases, including ear infections, diar-

rhoea and pneumonia, and may require hospitalisation. About one in every 1,000 people with measles develops encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Mr Corben said vaccinations could prevent the disease.

Vaccination rates unacceptably low ‘As vaccination rates are unacceptably low in some areas of the north coast, including around Tweed Heads, those communities are at much greater risk of contracting measles and of

outbreaks occurring,’ he said. He said people could be infectious in the 24 hours before they developed symptoms. The first symptoms appear seven to 18 days after contact with an infected person and include fever, tiredness, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes and feeling unwell. A few days later a rash appears, starting on the face and spreading down the body. Under the NSW Public Health Act, children not immunised may be excluded from school or child care if cases occur in that school or centre.

Govt backs down on developer fees (cont. from p 1) cap was kept at $20,000 per lot as critical infrastructure works for the sites faced a major funding shortfall. Mr Kelly said his announcement ‘recognises that councils in greenfield areas face higher costs in creating well-planned communities’. ‘While the cap remains at $20,000 for established areas, the Government recognises the particular issues facing growth councils and will increase the development contributions cap to $30,000 in greenfield sites,’ he said. One of the other measures approved by Mr Kelly includes allowing developers to pay above the relevant

cap if they agree to do so. Most councils will be unaffected by the new arrangements which come into effect immediately.

The NSW Local Government and Shires Association has welcomed the announcement, saying it was ‘relieved’ at the changes.

Funding withheld in shock move Ken Sapwell

Caldera Environment Centre members are being summoned to appear before councillors to give reasons why funding for their annual World Environment Day festival should be restored. Mayoral contender Dot Holdom initiated the surprise move after complaining that members of the shire’s peak environmental group had allegedly failed to invite Tweed Shire councillors to its world environment day festival in June. She successfully moved that a $3,000 grant that had been earmarked for next year’s festival not be approved until members of the centre fronted a closed-door meeting to deliver a please-explain for the alleged snub. The move stunned Greens councillor Katie Milne who

questioned her motives in withholding the money. ‘Out of all the festivals this is the only one which concentrates on the environment and stimulates the economy, they should be getting more money, not having it taken away from them,’ she said. Cr Holdom initially said she wanted funding be deferred and a workshop held with the centre ‘to get a better understanding of a few things out there’.

Cr Holdom troubled She later revealed she was troubled by an accusation that council had not attended this year’s festival and that councillors had not even received an invitation to attend the long-standing one-day event. ‘We were not invited and we need to sort it out,’ she told this month’s council meeting when it sat down to consider

grants totalling $57,500 to 11 organisations wishing to hold festivals next year. Centre co-ordinator Paul Hopkins said this week it appeared Cr Holdom was still upset by the comments made by a new member who had wrongly stated that the council had failed to attend the festival. ‘The comment was wrong and inappropriate. The council was very much in attendance at the festival and was manning its own stands as they always do,’ he said. ‘We have since apologised to the council at a debriefing after the festival and at a community access session and we are happy to apologise again if necessary,’ he said. The World Environment Day festival is an UNESCO initiative which arose from the 1992 Earth Conference in Rio de Janeiro and was embraced

Now in its 19th year, Ms Wilkinson said the festival helped draw music enthusiasts locally and across the far north coast to the sleepy village. ‘It’s such a unique weekend, it really brings the community together,’ she said. Organisers said the festival’s popular program would also incorporate fresh elements, for a more broad appeal. In addition to the 10-part concert series, there will be bush poetry, choral music and a showcase of local musicians.

The council uses the festival to showcase its green initiatives and normally has two or three stands. Cr Milne said she supported the meeting because she planned to use it as a platform to increase the size of the grant to the Caldera Environment Centre. She said it received the same amount as the Tweed Heads Croquet Club, while two other community groups received $10,000 each for their festivals.

sion over road closures and lack of accommodation were largely to blame for the downturn, with this year’s event so far attracting strong ticket sales. Concert violinists John Willison and Carmel Kaine, who moved to the Tweed Valley in the late 1980s, were the driving force behind the festival after discovering the acoustic qualities of the Tyalgum Hall. Ms Wilkinson said the festivals’ popularity and longevity is attributed to both the town’s picturesque setting and the world-class performers it attracts.

The town’s 101-year-old hall will double as an intimate setting for a program of baroque, jazz, chamber and classical ensemble performances. ‘Classical music is not stodgy and boring, it’s bright and beautiful,’ festival coordinator Alexsandra Wilkinson said. ‘It’s very different listening to sublime classical music in an intimate hall compared to an opera house setting. In that respect Tyalgum really has something special.’ Organisers are also hoping for a turnaround in fortunes after a dip in ticket sales at last year’s event, which clashed with the controversial world rally.

A workshop in Murwillumbah this Saturday (September 4) aims to promote the importance of protecting, conserving and improving biodiversity in Australia and across the world. The workshop is hosted by Tweed and Byron Shire Councils’ Tweed Byron Bush Futures Project, whose manager, John Turnbull, says that the Tweed Valley lies within a zone of

overlap between two major biogeographical regions, each with a distinct flora and fauna. ‘This hotspot for biodiversity is recognised internationally through extensive World Heritage listing and a network of National Parks,’ he said. ‘This overlap zone supports a diverse mix of flora and fauna species, habitats and vegetation communities, with many at the

southern or northern limits of their range and endemic species not found in other regions.’ The workshop, at the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre, runs from 10.30am to 2pm, with morning tea and lunch provided.

Mayor backflips on claim over sacking Ken Sapwell

Tweed Mayor Warren Polglase has been forced to retract claims used to justify a controversial decision to axe Greens councillor Katie Milne from the council’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee (AAC). The backflip comes after AAC members questioned Cr Polglase over claims made in a mayoral minute accusing the committee of failing to deliver on its objectives to support Tweed’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Members also ‘raised concerns’ about Cr Milne’s removal from the AAC and the appointment of Cr Joan van Lieshout as an alternative delegate in the shock shake-up following the mayoral minute which was delivered last May.

Cr Polglase, who was invited to attend the AAC’s most recent meeting for a ‘please explain’, acknowledged that his claim that the committee was ‘not performing in a way that can deliver council’s objectives’ was incorrect. ‘In retrospect, the mayoral minute should have been written differently,’ he told the meeting before acceding to a request that he correct the wording at last month’s council meeting. Cr Polglase declined to elaborate on the council’s decision to terminate Cr Milne’s appointment to the AAC, saying only the decision was made ‘democratically at a council meeting by councillors’. The backdown deepens the mystery surrounding Cr Milne’s sudden sacking which

followed a closed-door meeting at which ‘the operation, performance and proper functioning of the ACC’ was discussed. Cr Milne was again unsuccessful at council’s last meeting in seeking an explanation for her removal, with Cr Polglase brushing aside her questions.

Explanation refused Other councillors who voted to dump her – Crs Joan van Lieshout, Dot Holdom and Phil Youngblutt – have consistently refused to explain their radical decision, with those opposed to the move critical of the lack of explanation. The decision also stunned members of the AAC who believed they had a good working relationship with Cr Milne. They also objected to Cr van

Lieshout’s appointment following her refusal to read out a statement at the start of council meetings acknowledging their connection with the Tweed during her 12-month term as mayor. Cr Milne says she believes the decision is linked to the AAC’s belated condemnation of a council decision to concrete a natural waterway at Chinderah to clear the way for a new industrial estate after she alerted them to the plan. In a brief mayoral minute at this week’s council meeting, Cr Polglase acknowledged that ‘he had no concerns with regard to community representatives on the Aboriginal Advisory Committee’ and pledged council’s support for ‘committee members, the committee and the community they represent.’

Former model Sarah on song for music career

Tweed singer/songwriter Sarah Archer gets in the mood of one of her ballads. Photo supplied Kate McIntosh

Sarah Archer swapped fashion for music and hasn’t looked back. The Tweed singer/songwriter signed with EMI Records last year and is planning to begin recording her debut album in the new year. A former model, Sarah quit her job as a fashion designer at surf wear giant Billabong to focus on building her music

career. But the 24-year-old says she has no regrets. ‘It was a hard decision to go from having a stable income into something that was so uncertain, but taking the step to pursue my music, that wasn’t hard,’ she says. Sarah has gone onto work with Phil Thornalley, who wrote Natalie Imbruglia’s hit single Torn and well known Australian electronica musician and producer Paul Mac.

Although her style is pop, Sarah says she draws inspiration from a range of musical influences and is quick to dispel negative notions around the genre. ‘When people talk about pop they think Britney Spears and that’s not really where I’m at, I would describe my style as organic pop, something that’s guitar and piano based, that means something and has depth to it.’ A gifted vocalist, Sarah has also taken up the guitar and piano. She draws on her own personal experiences, as well as the experiences of those close to her in her songwriting. ‘I generally like to write about real things in life, that way you don’t need to make up a story.’ As a youngster, Sarah was an active participant in singing competitions and school choirs. However, the former Tweed River High School student said the origins of her musical gifts remain somewhat of a mystery to her family. ‘No one in my family plays anything, but it’s something that’s always come naturally to me, even in the playground I remember singing rhymes.’ While not expecting ‘over-

night success,’ Sarah hopes her dedication to her craft will pay off in the long run. ‘It’s not something that’s easy, but it’s something that I really want to be doing, music is my life, it’s the only thing I’ve always had and always done. There’s no fallback plan.’ Sarah plays her next gig on September 23 at ‘Unplugged in the Basement’ at the Gold Coast Arts Centre at 8.30pm.

MP slams ‘inflammatory’ rally review The state government has been called on to refer all economic data and analysis linked with the controversial world rally to be reviewed by the AuditorGeneral. North coast state Greens MLC Ian Cohen said he wants an independent review by the Auditor-General because the report prepared for the government by Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) ‘displays a clear lack of objectivity, raising serious questions about its accuracy’. www.tweedecho.com.au

‘The report uses terminology that is inflammatory and inappropriate for an assessment of such an important matter,’ he said.

Govt contempt ‘To repeatedly label local community opposition to the Repco rally as “zealots” shows the contempt that the government and IMC holds for the legitimate concerns of local residents and business owners. ‘The conclusion that the economic benefits of the 2009

Repco Rally far outweighed the costs is based on submissions from Events NSW and Rally Australia, two organisations that have a vested interest in supporting the decision to go ahead with this event despite a divisive and inadequate planning process. ‘All economic data and analysis related to the Repco Rally must be released so that a robust and independent assessment can be made into whether or not NSW really did get a good deal out of this event.’ <echowebsection=Local News>

Rob said in the end it was the endless night phone calls that saw him finally walk away from the job he has dedicated himself since joining the service as an 18-year-old. ‘Being on-call at night was what finally got me out, it was really getting to me and I could see it creating health problems in the future,’ he said. Instead, he has now hung up the ‘Gone Fishing’ sign and is hoping to travel over the next few years, especially when his wife Yvonne, an early childhood nurse, retires too in 18 months. Not that Rob, a very familiar face in Kingscliff since moving there from Wollongong in 1981 to become the town’s third ambulance officer, is entirely retiring from helping people. There are now nine officers stationed at Kingscliff. ‘I’m going to continue teach-

since he arrived 29 years ago and now he is looking forward to having time to catch up with friends without having to see them in the back of an ambulance.

Three Amigos keep the public guessing Volume 3 #01

September 2, 2010

Stone age punishment Thanks to the locals who are raising awareness of Iran’s Sakineh, the Iranian mother of two condemned for adultery. She has been imprisoned since 2006 ‘for having an illicit relationship’ with two men, according to freesakineh.org/ and there are currently 219,571 signatures calling for her immediate release. Last Saturday – August 28 – 110 cities around the world rallied and organised events for ‘100 World Cities Against Stoning Action Day’. August 28 coincided with the date Sakineh was informed by authorities that she would be executed. So far there is no word on what has happened. According to www.stopstonningnow. com/wpress/ ‘there has been no news concerning the completion of this death sentence. It seems that the Islamic Republic, while under immense international pressure, wanted to give the impression that it would not bow to world public opinion.’ In her country, the penalties for such actions are horrendous and unjustifiable. Death by stoning violates any and all definitions of human rights, but it still continues throughout parts of the Middle East and Africa. The countries that participate, according to www.stop-stoning. org are Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria (about one-third of the 36 states), Pakistan, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates. ‘Some of these countries have since repealed the law of stoning,’ it says. ‘While the penalty has never been carried out in Nigeria, or by the state in either Pakistan or Iraq, incidents of stoning have been carried out by communities, seemingly encouraged by the existence of the punishment in law.’ In Iran, ‘Rajm’ is an Arabic word that means to stone, and refers to the traditional Islamic Hudud punishment. Hudud punishments are considered to be ‘claims of God,’ and include theft, fornication, consumption of alcohol, and apostasy. This highlights the barbaric, primitive and dangerous nature of religious fundamentalism. The website concludes with ‘Culture is not static, but constantly recreated and redefined by the various interests of groups in positions of power in a society at any given time. There is no excuse for the killing of women. Murder is a brutal violation of the most basic human right – the right to life – and any practice which harms women or impinges upon their agency and autonomy contradicts fundamental rights, such as the right to security; the right to freedom from violence; from inhuman, degrading treatment and punishment; from terror; the right to choose a marriage partner; and the right to not face discrimination under the law. No culture has the right to kill and harm women based on their perceptions of morality or honour. The freedom of belief does not mean freedom to kill. Stoning is a brutal example of how culture and religion are being misused to perpetuate violence against women.’ These sentiments are hard to refute – at least our culture has thankfully progressed past the stone age. The petition can be signed at http://freesakineh.org/ and more information found at http://stopstonningnow.com/wpress/ – Hans Lovejoy

t the weekend Tony Abbott finally faced reality; he sent a message after the departing independents saying he had decided to submit his costings to Treasury after all and Treasury could tell the independents about them, as long as the independents didn’t tell Julia Gillard or Wayne Swan. Abbott has tried to portray this as a win for himself, but in fact it was an inevitable backdown given the circumstances. Andrew Robb had already been caught out; he had claimed that the federal police investigation of the leak was already well underway and a result could be expected any day now. The police replied that there was no investigation; they were still considering whether to open one. A continued refusal could only be seen as proving that they had something to hide. But more importantly opinion was turning against the opposition. The suspicion was that they were actually trying to set the scene for another election, preferably one which would run early next year, when the hated New South Wales Labor government would also be facing the people. This, it was believed, would make Abbott prime minister in his own right. It might; but the downside is that the voters would be outraged at being forced back to the polls. They have been through all that, they have delivered their verdict – well, sort of – and it is up to the politicians to make it work. The umpire’s decision must be respected and those who try to ignore it will pay. It is a risk Abbott is not prepared to take, especially when his friends in the media are ramping up the pressure on the independents to give him the guernsey. Last week the

News Limited group produced a series of surveys designed to prove that the voters in all three electorates actually want a coalition government. Actually they don’t; they want their local member to remain independent, which was why they voted for him. And there is no reason why the independents should not follow this course; they could simply agree not to support

The public has learned more about politics in the last week of August than they ever did in twelve years of high school. by Mungo MacCallum no confidence motions and to guarantee supply, and the government could continue as usual. But, following the protocol outlined below, that would leave Labor in power, an outcome utterly unacceptable to the Murdoch press. And in any case it would be naïve to expect the three independents to pass up the once in a lifetime opportunity for power and glory the hung parliament presents; so the horse trading continues. No sane person wants another election. But perhaps one insane person does. The preposterous Steve Fielding, the accidental senator from Family First, will, like the rest of the old senate, retain his seat until July 1 next year. Asked whether he would allow a minority Labor government to pursue its agenda, he temporised; indeed, he would not even rule out blocking supply. Actually supply for the year has already been passed in the budget session, so Fielding’s threat was as ignorant as it was arrogant. But it was something

money – considers that he has the right to decide who should govern Australia in 2010. And conservative commentators are accusing the independents of having ideas above their station. Give us a break. In fact the Governor-General is unlikely to come into it at all, except to rubber stamp whatever happens in parliament. Some of the sillier commentators have got all excited about how the G-G, Quentin Bryce, is the mother-in-law of Labor minister Bill Shorten, and this could put her in a conflict of interest when it came to choosing who would be prime minister. But it is not her choice. Julia Gillard remains Prime Minister, albeit in a caretaker role, until the poll is declared. When it is, Bryce is bound by convention to ask her if she can form a government; if she says yes, she will be commissioned. If she says no, or if she subsequently loses a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives, Bryce will of-

fer the job to Tony Abbott. If both leaders fail, she will have to prorogue parliament and call an election. It is all quite straightforward, not at all like the deadlock between the Reps and the Senate in 1975. And it is undeniably intriguing; like a good murder mystery – and unlike the awful election campaign that led up to it – it makes you pay attention right up to the last page. Suddenly politics is interesting and even relevant; the punters genuinely want to know what is going on, how many options there are, what are the rules of the game and who is up who for the rent. Last Friday the Sydney Morning Herald produced a four page wraparound attempting to explain it; the public has learned more about politics in the last week of August than they ever did in twelve years of high school. Whether the interest can be maintained is of course another question; technically the impasse could drag on until the end of November, when parliament would be forced to sit and make a decision. But no-one expects it to go on for that long. And as the players reassembled back in Canberra on the last day of winter, it was clear that the climax was approaching. And it’s still impossible to predict: the odds have to favour the conservatives, but the three amigos – Tony Windsor, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter – are all contrarian types; that’s why they are independents. Andrew Wilkie is a professional maverick and even Tony Crook and Adam Bandt could yet surprise us. Please remain seated and keep your seatbelt securely fastened until the election has come to a complete halt.

the Governor-General should bear in mind if she was looking for stability, Fielding warned. He was not convinced that the Labor government deserved a second chance. That’s right, he, him, the man who received just 0.08 per cent of the Victorian first preference vote in – just four fifths of one hundredth of one state in 2004, about three fifths of five eighths of fuck all in today’s

Exciting times Community Voice is hopeful that the federal election results have sent a huge wake-up call to the major parties. The people of Australia deserve true and effective representation in our national parliament, not puppets! With the federal election result still to be decided, independent MPs are being courted by the Labor and Coalition leaders. This is an exciting time for democracy in Australia. The independents are calling for a more accountable and inclusive government where all MPs are able to put the needs of their communities ahead of political parties. This is fantastic news for the electorates of Kennedy, Lyne, New England and Denison. It confirms the fact that independents can play a vital role in establishing a fairer and more representative democracy, where voters get the services they deserve. Community Voice is particularly pleased that the leaders of the main political parties are listening to the independents and their ideas of how to achieve a more equitable system of representation in the next federal term. While MPs from the major parties are forced to toe the party line, these independents simply seek the best outcomes for their electorates. It is no wonder they are returned with increased majorities at each election: they are working tirelessly and effectively on behalf of the people they represent and the voters recognise this. It’s a no brainer, voting for an independent is the way of the future. This situation presents a wonderful opportunity for democracy. If it doesn’t work we can always go back to the mediocrity and complacency we had last week. Dr Fiona McCormick

Community Voice Burringbar

Save our fig An attempt is being made to cut down the beautiful white fig tree next to Chinderah Tavern. As always, it doesn’t seem to be a well thought through plan. The tree is iconic and of historical value, being about 135 years old, planted by a publican in the late 1800s to mark the occasion of his first born son. Apparently the tree adds significant land value to the property as well, and is much loved by the local community and provides an abundant supply of food for the local bird life. The cost of removing it is rumoured to be about $12,000. www.tweedecho.com.au

Download rally review and have your say Q What kinds of events do you want to see in the Northern Rivers? What kind of community do you think we really are? The NSW Treasurer, Eric Roozendaal, released the World Rally Championship review 13 hours before the polls opened for the federal election, ensuring it would be ignored by Sydney media. Roozendaal inherited the rally issue after Ian MacDonald’s spectacular fall from grace. When you read the review, you can see why they tried to bury it: written by a marketing company, it lacks any procedural or structural credibility, and its economic findings are laughable, as the figures are ultimately based on counting multiple stage pass sales and Rally Australia’s inhouse count of every freckle on every patron. Other data sources are kept hidden, either as ‘commercial in confidence’ or due to convenient ‘privacy concerns’. The review appears to scape-

goat residents for the state government’s poor judgement in bringing the event to the region, describing opponents in unsavoury terms and as ‘a tiny minority’ despite acknowledging 75 per cent of submissions received were against the rally. Its main aim seems to be to save face for the state government when it is presented to FIA in Paris on September 10, when they will decide the fate of the Australian leg of the rally. If you think the Northern Rivers is about much more attractive things than motor sports in national parks, and you don’t like being used as a pawn by politicians and their friends, add your voice! Write to them and tell them as a resident how you feel about the rally and/or the review. Don’t let the government blame us for their crazy choice to impose the rally on this region. Send your message to these people, and to your local newspapers: Bryan Hardman HMRA

The cost of removing the cactus and trimming it is significantly less. The tree itself is a healthy tree and should not be removed as determined by a professional arborist. I have taken many people to the tavern for lunch and they all comment on the tree, it is a feature! Once more the community must gather to protest and try and preserve our natural environment. Don’t ‘pave paradise and put up a parking lot’.

This plan of action will see less of a reduction in our amenity than it would to just let it slip through. There is also a report called Whole of Shire Cultural and Community Facilities Plan, by SGS Economics & Planning, dated December 2007. It is rather alarming, and an independent review. When this comes to council, we will really see who is prodevelopment. Must also remember that the infrastructure that we have will determine how many, and who, will come to the area now. Did you know that we are up for another high school, and the community centre in Murwillumbah has been shelved, again.

as adamant as those women who wear high heels as an expression of their individuality, rather than in deference to a common belief, true or not, that high heels are an expression of female repression.

The Section 94 struggle The council had on exhibition Draft Section 94 Plan, No. 15 Developer Contributions for Community Facilities, Version 6.0. I attended the public meeting that was offered by the council on August 11. It was poorly attended. The bottom line is that council is allowed to charge these contributions, but only do it on the coastal zones north and south of Kingscliff. This proposal is to take those contribution fees to the rest of the shire. Here in Murwillumbah we have had huge growth, and our infrastructure is now behind the population requirements. Will this happen to you in your area? It goes against policy to make existing residents pay for the ones moving in, but that is exactly what we have been doing. We are all paying higher rates, and if this is allowed to continue with no more action, we will also be losing more amenity. There is the real likelihood that we will suffer all over the shire with less than the council-determined 150 square metres per thousand head of population.

No Rally Group, Kingscliff Q Word on the grapevine is that

the rally organisers are seriously thinking of pulling out of the race being held here again. The sad fact is though, it is the local residents who opposed the rally who will be blamed. Let it be clear in the minds of all residents that blame rests with the ALP state government. It was they who, without even consulting the communities, decided to run it here, and to foot the bill with our tax dollars. It was our local council with Mike Rayner at the

helm, with $$$$ flashing and without any consideration of the residents it would impact upon, who decided to support it, despite months of residents appearing before them at community access voicing their concerns and disapproval. Now, because No Rally Group is not prepared to help put the rally on, they are attempting to blame us! Why would we do a complete shift, and disappoint the thousands of people who have supported us to get rid of this damn tragedy? We have attempted to work

with them in the past, with a litany of lies from them to prove it. The rally has caused an enormous rift in our community. Don’t let them push the knife in even further. Once they are gone it will be us, the community, left to heal the wounds. Remember, whether you stand for the rally or against it, the one thing we have in common is that we all want what we believe is best for our beautiful region. Let’s all work together for that common good. Julie McNamara

Ban the high heel I didn’t think I would ever agree with Joe Hockey on anything. Perhaps it is his middleeastern ancestry that causes him to trip over a formula for reducing Moslem unrest, and therefore reducing terrorism, when last year he said of Muslim women and the wearing of the burqa, ‘Yes, we should condemn those governments that force women to cover themselves from head to toe whether it is their choice or not’. He then went on to say, ‘but we should not concern ourselves with people who make those choices themselves, as many Muslim women do’. Live and let live! The thought that the burqa should be banned is the same sort of repression that caused many women to feel they should wear it in the first place. Nevertheless, many women wearing burqas are as adamant as their menfolk, that Muslim women wear burqas. Probably

Victoria is currently leader of the Byron Bay convivium of the Slow Food Movement and for the last few years has worked as a reviewer for the annual Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide.

Jiri has been producing exquisite food for 30 years and his experience spans the globe and includes hands on experience as head chef for ďŹ ve star restaurants and hotels, silver service waiter and resort manager. ‘Travel is important because it gives you a different outlook. I enjoying combining foods that are not usual and in Australia people are not afraid to try contemporary, modern cuisine that doesn’t ďŹ t a particular style’.

CECADA Adam is passionate about food. He has worked in the Gold Coast, Spain, France and a ďŹ ne dining restaurant in Bangkok and in Portugal at a traditional Portuguese restaurant, learning traditional cooking methods. Adam’s background is traditional french cuisine but he enjoys using spices of middle east and infusing them with french cuisine. “The most important thing to me about being a good cook is appreciation of fresh produce and dedication‌ not being afraid to make mistakes and to try different methods, ingredients and styles of cuisineâ€?. Using the best and freshest produce is a priority for Adam and all his small goods, pork and seafood, are sourced from all local suppliers. Adam’s vegetables are grown on a farm in Murwillumbah. Apart from Adam’s passion for food he also loves surďŹ ng, good wine, friends, travelling and learning about the different cuisines around the world ‌ ‘Good friends are like a bottle of wine – they get better with age’.

When buying, don’t choose a mango that is too ripe – you need an edge of sharpness to balance the luscious sweetness. For savoury cooking, buy fruits that are hard and slightly acidic. Match them with seafood, chicken, pork and a hint of aromatic curry spices. Under ripe mangoes also make good relishes and chutneys. In desser t menus, mangoes go well fresh, with just ice cream or mango sorbet and cakes. My ultimate favourite has to be with coffee and cream. For this, peel a large, ďŹ rm mango and cut wafer thin slices. Soak them in sugar syrup for a couple of hours to soften, then drain and pat dry. Make a ďŹ lling from seriously strong espresso coffee, thick crème fraiche and softly whipped double cream. Mix it all together then scoop this into martini glasses and layer between the sheets of mango, ready to serve. Happy cooking. You can enjoy mangoes this season, at Alley’s new menu from October.

Enjoy the great ocean view at our family friendly venue with service at its best, where hundreds of happy patrons keeps coming back for breakfast, lunch and dinner each week.

Television Guide 1. Four friends who work in a cafeteria compare notes on toy boy romance in the French comedy Ah! The Libido! (SBS1, Friday, 11.05pm). 2. Dustin Hoffman stars in Mr Magorium’s Emporium (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm), a sort of Willy Wonka without the inventiveness, but some of the littlies will like it. 3. The pick of the week is the 1959 version of the gritty kitchen sink drama Look Back In Anger (7TWO, Sunday, 9.20pm) from the play of the same name by John Osborne, directed by Tony Richardson and starring the sublime Richard Burton and Claire Bloom. This was reality before Reality TV came along and watered it down.

SLEEP... PERCHANCE TO DREAM.

Mandy Nolan

I

haven’t had a full night sleep now since the beginning of 2009. I’ve been a mother for 15 years so I’m used to the whole death-of-self concept. I’ve been dead now for over a decade. I thought after having a trillion kids that at 42 I’d be such a pro at mothering that if there was ever an Olympic event I’d be a contender. But I’m more of a pushover now then I was in my twenties. Every night we put our baby girl to sleep and one hour later she’s awake. That’s it. That’s the sum total of ‘me’ time that my precious bundle allocates. In that hour I write my Echo column, answer my emails, do paintings, and tend to the other children. It’s a pretty massive hour. I don’t think I’ve managed to have an uninterrupted thought in months, let alone a poo. I can’t teach my babies to sleep. I hate hearing women complain about their babies waking in the night. I’m like, waking at 3 in the morning? Half your luck, that means they’ve already slept for six straight hours! I’d be weeping with joy! I’m a bit of a lazy hippy chick at heart. I’ll admit it, I’m a co-sleeper. The cot gets a run, but basically the baby always manages to get into bed. I think it’s genetic. My mother confessed that she used to sleep with me. I didn’t get my own room until I was 16. Little Ivy breastfeeds from about 10pm until 6am. Non stop. She feeds so heavily she has little need of food and nutrition during the day. I wake up feeling like one of those poppers that’s had all the juice sucked out. But I just can’t say no. She loves her night titty. And who wouldn’t? I don’t separate from my children well. I lie there listening to them breathe, and when they go quiet I poke them to make sure they’re not dead.

So today I’ve rung the sleep nazi. This woman comes to my home and for $600 she does what I should have been able to do: teach my child to sleep. I am paying her to be a sleep bitch. I am outsourcing boundaries because I can’t make them. I watch teen mums belting their kids at Kmart and think, geez, I bet they get their kids to sleep. I might look like some giant Viking Queen but in reality I just can’t do tough love. I have never been able to do controlled crying. It always ends with me crying uncontrollably and the baby trying to console me. I can’t bear to hear the sound of the baby’s distress at the horror of being relegated to the cage bed we call the cot. Why should they be forced to sleep alone when we get to snuggle up with a partner? And so I let the little thing curl up with her Mum and Dad. Amazingly, the tiny body, just 80cm long has the capacity to occupy at least half of the new King size bed. She has developed a Ninja-like wall-pinning technique that positions me on the mattress perimeter to enable her to stretch out and enjoy that brand new $2000 cushioned comfort. The life force is strong in this one. Of all my children I would say this one is the most intense, the most energetic and the most inflexible. I named her after my 94 year old crotchety old Nanna, and that’s exactly what I got. An adorable tyrant made entirely of breast milk and will. And so that will must be broken. Lest her 42 year old mother goes nuts and ends up wandering the streets in her petticoat. Hang on, I already do that. Anyway, I’ve made the call so in a month from now I may be living the dream. Or at least sleeping it.

waiting for storms to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain – potted philosphy which could morph this week from grizzly and grumpy into something much more magical.  Ready for that? Are you ever. SAGITTARIUS: Despite some behaviour reminiscent of this week’s birthday celebrity Slobodan Milosovic, present energies support more time-saving, energy-efficient, stylish ways of operating. Solo Sagittarians benefit from healthy self indulgence (massage, beauty therapy, holidays), tandem Archers from using their imagination to freshen relationships. CAPRICORN: If plans need reviewing, revising or reworking yet again and you feel like you’re trying to revive a

corpse, might it be an unparalleled relief to kiss it goodbye, chalk your losses up to research and walk free and unencumbered into a less-stress life? AQUARIUS: Ready to jettison that inappropriate dream, stale relationship, bad habit or once-was-hot version of you that just doesn’t cut it anymore? This is the week. But what about your former self’s stuff‌ Hullo! It’s the Clutter Culling Month, so what does that tell you? PISCES: Even if you can’t get your way with this week, you’ll have fun trying. A generous gesture when you least feel like it spreads ripples of good will like a pebble dropped in the cosmic pond, dissolving a gridlock and paving the way for long overdue change.Â

ARIES: This isn’t the year’s most getahead week, but you can still make valuable headway through nurturing professional relationships, sharing ideas and putting out feelers. Use a softlysoftly approach on interpersonal hiccups, and give private needs precedence over public appearances. TAURUS: If this week’s changing WITH LILITH circumstances find you yearning for WITH LILITH Less than two thirds into the organization and structure, remind yourself that flux isn’t your enemy.

when late week Gemini moon has you chatting up prospective playmates and wooing new business clients, you’ll thank your lucky star adviser you didn’t indulge. CANCER: Cancerian Buddhist nun Pema Chodron says nothing ever goes away until it’s taught us what we need to know.  If an old script’s replaying, ask what’s the lesson? And as astrologer Crab Rob Brezny advises, be eager to dwell gracefully among interesting questions that tease and teach. LEO: Expecting adulation this week? Don’t hold your breath. Everyone and their dog has opinions contrary to yours. Communications aren’t flash either, but what this week does have going is a whole lot of devil may care, do or dare,

lust in the air animal magnetism‌ VIRGO: With your star futures shining bright, make some promises to yourself. That you won’t take on other peoples’ nonsense this week. Or your own. And you’ll remember that no matter what’s going on in the world, there’s still plenty to celebrate - so you’ll celebrate. LIBRA: Even with Mars, Lord of the Dance and Venus, Lady Of Love snuggling in Libra, this week’s communications aren’t clear – but then if they were you mightn’t like them. A surprise with your name on it is on its way, and it’s looking like a very interesting assignment. SCORPIO: According to Scorpio songstress Vivian Green life isn’t about

The flatties are out there

Peter is Ohl over tennis rivals

David Solano

Samara Brewer-Charles

Recntly I mentioned how I’d seen really big flathead eat little ones on at least three occasions. At first I thought maybe the big ones were protecting the little ones. I now don’t believe this to be the case as several people have phoned me telling me they have seen the same thing. A couple have mentioned finding smaller flathead when cleaning big ones, one guy found two inside a belly. Flathead they seemed to be the only fish I could catch over the long weekend – I had Friday off due to the Gold Coast Show. I could not land any big girls but the amount of just legals and undies I caught was amazing. Maybe it has something to do with all the baitfish around. Small prawns have started to make an appearance and I am starting to see a little surface action with fish chasing the smaller bait fish in the shallows. You can catch a lot offlathead if you think about what you’re doing. They love a good drop off, with a lot of current moving through. Flats work a treat on the outgoing tide with all that food flowing through. Check out the run up to Seagulls as there’s a heap of exciting spots to try. Here is a photo of Steven and Ryan and a beaut leatherjacket and me with a nice whiting. Good luck and thanks for your calls – keep them coming.

The Murwillumbah Tennis Club held it’s annual club championships with an increase in player numbers and some top class tennis action spanning the three weekend event. The highly anticipated men’s Singles did not disappoint, going long into the night. Club coach Peter Ohl came into the event as the hot favourite, cruising through the round matches to play Ashley Welch in the final. Overcoming a lack of match play, Peter showed why he has previously won the event 10 times with big hitting and inch perfect drop shots. The match had to be limited to one set as the clock neared 10pm. The final score of 6-2 not reflecting the quality of the match with Ashley playing strong ground strokes of his own.

Peter Ohl returns serve as he wins his 11th Murwillumbah Club Championships

Missing the event last year due to injury Peter said although he lacked match play he was happy with his overall performance. ‘I feel I played ok considering I haven’t played competitively since the Australian titles in January,’ he said. The Women’s draw was a one sided affair with Jenni Henderson going undefeated into the

final. Jenni won the match 6-2 on the back of big hitting from the baseline and well placed shots. Todd Bolger and Nicole Butler beat Fletcher RainfordMarkarian and Ellie Henderson in the Division One Mixed Final. Sister and brother team, Jenni and Lachlan Henderson took out the Division Two final against Moneet Singh and Samara Brewer-Charles. The men’s doubles was a close and fiercely contested match with Marcus Rainford and Jacob Guinea taking the prize against Michael Taylor and Don Paddock. Jade Juleff and Maria Dowse won the Women’s final against Carolyn Tett and Varelle Grant. The tournament raised much needed money for the club but Peter said the main thing is that everybody had fun. Club memberships for this season are still available from Sports World in Murwillumbah.

Last week’s mystery fish The mystery fish in last week’s Tweed Echo is a Maori Cod. Our reference is Grants Fishes of Australia, page 144 – plate 330. Maori Cod is well regarded as a table fish. Cheers, David and Joy Broomfield.

It has been nearly three months since Nev Salmon an immensely respected member of the Kingscliff community lost his life after being hit by a B-Double truck while on one of his many cycling training rides. Nev Salmon had been riding to meet a mate for a training ride that the two had been regularly doing for some time. Nev didn’t make it. To honour Nev’s memory, Twin Town’s Triathlon club is proud to offer a perpetual trophy to the first place winner of the PureSport Kingscliff Triathlon, 26th September, Olympic distance event. ‘The trophy is a small token of the high regard that Nev was held in by the local community,’ says Chris Watt, president of the Twin Towns Triathlon Club. ‘It is hoped that the trophy will become a

much sought after prize as the triathlon gathers momentum and grows to its full potential.’ Nev moved with his family to the area and quickly became actively involved in all facets of coastal life. Nev was involved in the local Chamber of Commerce and the local RSL and Surf club. He was a businessman, firstly with his own cleaning business, then the local bike shop. He was an avid sportsman who liked to participate. He was a member of the local Hash House Harriers running club and a member and former President of the Twin Towns Triathlon Club. Nev competed in over 280 club races with Twin Towns tri club. He was always eager to assist where he could and find solutions when required. He loved the camaraderie of the club and getting out on his bike for a ride with mates. He

was passionate about bike safety and always looked for ways to make triathlon safer for the participants. Everyone who enters the Kingscliff Triathlon will become a part of keeping Nev’s memory alive and assist with the promotion of bike safety amongst participants. Entries are open for the PureSport Kingscliff Triathlon which will be held on Marine Parade Sunday of September 26. The triathlon starts with the kids aged seven and older, every child participating will receive a medal and competitor shirt just for giving it a go. There is a ‘Tempta’ event for those just starting out or who just prefer the shorter distance and then the Olympic Mens, Womens and Teams events.

Backburner Protecting our magnificent living history (our historic trees) is currently a hot issue so it’s worth considering the information from a sign at the Singapore Zoo which talks about the functional value of a tree as determined by Professor T M Das of the University of Calcutta. ‘A tree living for 50 years will generate $31,250 worth of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, control soil erosion and increase soil fertility to the tune of $31,250, recycle $37,500 worth of water and provide a home for animals worth $31,250, This figure does not include the value of the fruits, lumber or beauty derived from the trees.’ Q Q Q Q

Oblivious to such considerations, mayor Warren Polglase was busy cranking up the furphy machine this week with claims he was forced to call a special meeting on the Chinderah fig following what he described as a ‘campaign of misinformation.’ While he fails to offer anything to back up his astonishing assertion, it’s a tried and tested tactic to muddy the waters anytime anyone tries to overhaul our lax tree laws, so weak that owners can wreak havoc even where there are tree preservation orders and escape scot-free. Other areas, including tree corridors supporting the shire’s fast-dwindling koala population, can be felled with little fear of interference, and it was happening again around the back ridges of Pottsville last week. Council officers eventually responded to complaints but it’s understood that landowners can cut down as many tallow trees in a secondary koala habitat as they want under existing council laws.

Proud owner of this shiny old FJ Holden, Duncan Miller, grinned for photographer Jeff Dawson at the recent launch of the popular Speed on Tweed historic-car event as Speed on Tweed chairman Bill Larkin and co-ordinator Janah McLean look on. Bill Larkin said discounted daily tickets are now on sale at the Speed on Tweed shop in Brisbane Street, Murwillumbah (next door to the post office) for $20, a saving of $8 on the current online price and $5 on the gate price. As part of the main event, more than 180 cars will race against the clock on a temporary street course. Weekend-long celebrations also include a street parade and party, fireworks displays and concert. This year’s theme, Australian Specials, celebrates the ingenuity and success of hundreds of hand-built racing and sports cars, which proved to be effective alternatives to their expensive European counterparts. The events runs from September 11-12. For more info visit www.speedontweed.com.au.

horror scenario after a government-appointed panel rejected the millionaire developer’s bid to squeeze an extra 45 houses onto a manufactured home park at Kingscliff, where Wozza expertly juggles his caretaker and mayoral roles. Bureaucrats within the Department of Planning, which appointed three of the five members of the joint regional planning panel, are keeping their options open, saying they will only deal with the issue if an appeal is lodged. But panel chairman Garry West moved to hose down the hysteria, saying he understood the department would foot the bill Q Q Q Q Fears that ratepayers could be when the panel goes against the saddled with court costs if Woz- advice of the council’s planners, za’s good mate, Keith Noble, ap- as they did in this case.

A reader has noticed that the poster for Speed on Tweed makes absolutely no mention of Rally Australia, the half owner of the event. Reader says he hopes the $120,000 rally organisers were given by Tweed Shire Council to run the biennial event is still going towards the provision of barriers for the homegrown historic-car event, as claimed.

Channel 7 has advised Tweed Council that production of

its planned reality-style doco Local Rules has been put on hold indefinitely. It had been scheduled for prime time and several council staff and residents had taken part in filming over the past few months. Backburner assumes the show, starring such local luminaries as Cr Phil ‘You’re-all-Morons’ Youngblutt and Cr Dot ‘Dobin-a-Ratepayer’ Holdom would not have made rivetting viewing. The stand taken by these two councillors on withdrawing funding from the community’s celebration of world environment day because they weren’t invited also sparked a heated reaction from viewers, err ratepayers, who have been texting their displeasure to the local rag, calling the councillors ‘pompous and self indulgent’. Perhaps Channel 7 thought the show could turn many viewers right off, for good.
