Have a ball and help save local wildlife. That’s the message from Gold Coast and Hinterland Environment Council – Gecko – who have organised a fundraising event to benefit the Currumbin Sanctuary Wildlife Hospital. It’s hoped the Wildlife Wingding Ball will help raise much needed funds for the facility, which receives no government funding. The event is part of an ongoing campaign by the non-profit group to raise awareness about the plight of koalas locally.

Live entertainment, ballroom dancing, food and charity auction are all included in the ticket price. ‘It’s an entertaining night, but with a pretty serious background,’ said event organiser Anna Itkonen. The hospital has been operating for more than 40 years and takes in up to 30 sick and injured animals every day. It costs about $600,000 annually to run the facility, which is solely dependent on public donations for its survival. The Wildlife Hospital’s senior veterinarian Dr Michael Pyne said that more than 90 per cent of admissions at the hospital are a result of human

activity, namely, traffic accidents, dog attacks and habitat loss. Ms Itkonen said the idea for the environmentally-themed masquerade ball grew out of discussions on ways to assist the hospital. The event is the first of its kind to be hosted by Gecko. Proceeds will assist with the purchase of new equipment for the hospitals’ Koala Intensive Care Unit. The Wildlife Wingding Ball is on this Saturday (November 6) at Burleigh Waters Community Centre at 7.30pm (DST). Tickets cost $50 and are available by calling Anna on (07) 5534 1412 or emailing events@gecko. com.au.

Brisbane property tycoon Godfrey Mantle is hoping to hit the jackpot with the sale of a hilltop site at Bilambil Heights occupied by the decaying former Terranora Lakes Country Club. Mr Mantle, who won government approval for The Rise residential development on the 184 hectare site last July, is seeking to sell to the highest bidder through an international tender process closing in two weeks. The flamboyant restaurant and hotel owner purchased most of the site from the receivers of the former pokie palace in 1995 for about $5 million and according to real estate sources is now asking $100 million. The sale of what many consider the best piece of real estate in the shire is being managed through agents Ray White who describe the site as being on the southern end of the Gold Coast. It went on the market less than three months after Planning Minister Tony Kelly approved a concept plan for a $1.2 billion master planned community which commands panoramic views to Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. Mr Mantle declined to comment on the proposed sale or details of his original purchase but instead issued a press release extolling the potential of the former club and golf course site. He made headlines last month when he submitted an election funding return showing he had donated $58,000 to the NSW ALP between June 2007 and July last year, with most of it being contributed at dinner functions. He also donated $5,000 to help

‘The approval has added considerable value to the site, and has significantly de-risked the project. ‘Now that we have advanced the project to the point where it can be developed, TGM has taken a strategic decision to allow a substantial developer to deliver it on the ground by offering it to the market. ‘The Rise is clearly one of the most attractive sites on the east coast of Australia and one of the few concept plan-approved development opportunities available in the Gold Coast region. ‘We believe the site will appeal to major domestic development groups and major overseas companies who could bring international directions continued on page 2

towards the campaign expenses of former mayor Warren Polglase who later declared the donations on behalf of his election team. The approval allows the construction over the next 10 to 12 years of 1604 new dwellings and a 200-bed aged care facility as well as community facilities, a private school, commercial and retail outlets, and an arts college and arts precinct. Project director Steve MacRae says the decision to sell the landmark site comes after 15 years of ownership of the land by Terranora Group Management and a four-year planning and approvals process for The Rise development. ‘The Rise project was first conceived in 2006, and the subsequent four years from conception to ministerial approval has involved an enormous amount of work,’ Mr MacRae said.

Advice from the Chief Product Tester Dear Tester I’m working at out and I’m so stressed with my job, I feel trapped. What should I do?

Kevin G’day Kevin, Mate, you need to escape from your head - 90% of the stuff in our heads is rubbish so what a waste of energy! Fortunately it’s not permanent (unless you choose it). The trick to unclutter your head is to stop thinking and start feeling. And the easiest way to do that is to get out into nature. So after work or on weekends, go for a walk in the bush or in a rainforest or beside a river bank or along the beach or up a hill. And then, stand with your arms outstretched, suck in a big breath and feel the rhythms of nature - that’s all - just feel it! That’s freedom! Now to do that properly, I feel you’ll need some good solid walking shoes, lightweight shorts and shirt, hat, backpack and water bottles. I’ve got a feeling you’ll ďŹ nd what’s perfect for you right here in our shop. How about that! I’ve also got a feeling that the more you buy from me, the less stress I’ll have and then my mental freedom’s guaranteed. Life’s also about helping each other Kevin - your money helps me and my products will help you. See ya soon! Your mate Tony PS I’m glad I thought of that.

Spotlight on the hidden cost of caring Kate McIntosh

When Isobel Rhatigan’s son John was 24 he was looking forward to all the usual things – falling in love, starting a family and pursuing a career. Those hopes ended in horrific circumstances when a drunk driver mounted a kerb and struck him in a Mooloolaba street, leaving him with irreparable brain damage. His Banora Point-based mother, now 79, has been caring for him for the last 32 years. She is among a hidden army of carers in Australia’s suburbs and communities, who go largely unrecognised. It is a 24hour job, born out of love and enormous personal sacrifice. Ms Rhatigan has been her 56-year-old son’s sole carer since her husband, also named John, passed away from cancer in 1989. She was one of four Tweed carers recognised last month in the Local Carer Awards. Tweed MP Geoff Provest estimates Tweed has the highest proportion of carers in Australia, with at least 10,000 locals caring for a disadvantaged loved one.

Heavy toll Ms Rhatigan concedes the accident has had a devastating impact on the family – financially and emotionally. ‘Nothing’s been the same in our family since it happened‌ my husband couldn’t bear to see young people walking around, he was always like, “why can’t that be John?â€? It just destroyed him.’ At the time of the accident her son had been living on the Sunshine Coast with his brother where they had started a commercial fishing business. He was looking forward to pursuing a career in television. ‘I think about all those things he’s lost all the time‌ he was a young fellow full of life and now he’s stuck in bed,’ she said. ‘But to be honest, I feel like there has never been any other life.’ In a cruel twist the man who

struck her son received a mere $200 fine and six month suspended sentence. Remarkably, the softly spoken mother-of-three says she does not harbour any bitterness towards the driver. ‘Maybe it’s self-protection,’ she said. ‘If I thought about all those things I’d never survive.’

Caring for her son is a 24hour job and one that means she has had to put her own life on hold. But it is a sacrifice Ms Rhatigan is willing to make. ‘He’s my son, he’s my child. I could never walk away,’ she said. Outspoken Terranora mother-of-three Lynette McNamara knows about the sacrifices of

caring for a loved one. Her husband Chris – then 37 – was left a quadriplegic after suffering a massive stroke on their wedding anniversary 15 years ago. The former Tweed detective is now unable to speak and communicates using eye signals. While she never doubted she would stick by her husband, Ms McNamara admits she still sometimes struggles to cope. ‘I don’t reckon you ever accept it, I know I haven’t, not deep down,’ she said. ‘You get angry about things sometimes. I have a pretty low tolerance for people who whinge about a sore toe; I’m a bitch at times, I lose it, but I always knew I was staying, ’cause I love him.’ She says accepting the loss of the life they had planned to enjoy together remains among the biggest challenges. ‘If I do get down, I just say, “wake up, get on with it.� You have to be tough and strong, because if you get down, you can’t get back up again.’ Tumbulgum couple Peter and Gwen Dutton, who care for their two grandchildren, were also recognised. Held in conjunction with National Carers Week celebrations, the awards recognise the outstanding contributions made by local carers and carer groups.

Lucrative view from the hilltop and long term financial stability to the project.’ Mr Mantle initially won Tweed Council approval for an upmarket Sheraton-managed resort and 27-hole golf course but later ditched the concept, complaining that restrictions imposed by the council made it uneconomic. He then sought government approval for The Rise development which originally included plans for building up to eight storeys high. But the high-rise component was knocked on the head af-

ter Tweed planners said it was more in line with Gold Coaststyle development than anything seen in the Tweed before. But although he has been given the green light, council has warned it won’t allow the project to progress until a new road network to service the area is operational. Planners have told the Department of Planning that the project, part of the Bilambil Heights land release area, would only be approved if upgrades and new roads were constructed. These involve

(from page 1)

building the Cobaki Parkway from Piggabeen Road to Boyd Street, building a new ‘spine’ road through the site from Marana Street to Cobaki Road and upgrading Cobaki Road from the ‘spine’ road to Cobaki Parkway. Last November a contractor employed by Mr Mantle was fined $135,000 and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service for chopping down and poisoning more than 1,200 trees, including many threatened species, at his Bilambil Heights site.

Dam decision dismays residents Ken Sapwell

Tweed Council staff will start planning for a new dam at Byrrill Creek after Mayor Kevin Skinner ignored last-minute pleas and used his casting vote to keep the controversial $45.8 million project on track. The decision dismayed most people who packed the public gallery during the two-hour debate but delighted a growing band of long-time residents who believe a second dam is the best way to secure the shire’s future water needs. They included National Party identities Stuart Cahill and Idwall Richards who spoke in support of the stand taken by Cr Skinner and party stalwarts Warren Polglase and Phil Youngblutt, saying the option of raising the wall of the Clarrie Hall Dam wasn’t the safest bet. But those opposed to a second dam warned that it won’t be able to jump state and federal planning hurdles and that millions of dollars will be wasted on consultants’ studies before the dam is stopped in its tracks.

Ongoing controversy Both sides also fired the first shots in what’s certain to be an ongoing controversy, with an exchange of barbs and insults which threatened to bring the sometimes volatile meeting to a halt. Mr Richards declared that he and other businessmen ‘stood four-square’ in support of the dam, while Byrrill Creek resident Ray Thorpe warned that people ‘would lay down their life’ to stop it and Cr Dot Holdom pledged to ‘hound [Cr Skinner] to death at every turn’ for supporting the move. The rookie mayor also came under fire from Cr Barry Longland who accused him of ignoring convention and exercising his casting vote to support an option which was not favoured by the community, experts or staff. ‘It makes a mockery of the consultation process which clearly put the Byrrill Creek

option last,’ he said. ‘Some councillors have put their personal prejudices above the genuine concerns of the community.’ The mayor conceded his casting vote was not normally used to upset the status quo, but added, ‘It can also be used as I see fit. ‘The area is pristine and beautiful and I feel very strongly about it… but at the end of the day, I’m concerned about a longterm solution which will secure our future water supplies’. Cr Skinner, who was elected just six weeks ago, told the meeting that he had been besieged by more than 500 phone calls and texts since a rescission motion was lodged in a bid to overturn the decision to build the Byrrill Creek dam a fortnight ago. ‘It’s not a good position to be in and the issue has been weighing heavily on me,’ he said. Community activist Michael McNamara warned that council would have to ‘negotiate a minefield of legal obstacles’, including eight different state laws and the requirements of the Federal Department of Environment. ‘It will take at least eight years to negotiate all the planning laws which means no work could even start until 2018 – you’d have to be a mug punter to back the Byrrill Creek proposal,’ he said. Real estate agent Stuart Cahill was met with derision when he said a new dam had the overwhelming support of most

local residents, branding the rest as ‘professional protesters.’ One of the residents, Joanna Gardner, said the dam would flood an important wildlife corridor connecting two heritage-listed sites and would put at risk a huge range of threatened, endangered and vulnerable species.

Population growth Mr Richards said water was needed to cope with the population growth and a new dam was less damaging to the environment than a desalination plant. He said he had been hearing protests about growth since 1930, but if people had shut the gate 80 years ago none of the protesters now would have been able to enjoy Tweed’s pristine environment. The Byrrill Creek option, which will flood an area of 235 hectares, will impact on about 35 residents and yield 16.3 megalitres of water. The other option of raising the wall of the Clarrie Hall Dam favoured by staff and the community will cost $36.1 million, increase the yield from 16 megalitres to 42.3 megalitres but flood a wider area and impact on 60 residents. Greens councillor Katie Milne told the meeting that experts had advised that if a dual reticulation system were imposed at the Kings Forest and Cobaki developments neither option would be needed until beyond 2036.

As the owner of more than 20,000 Elvis-themed memorabilia items to his name, Rusty Roberts can rightly boast to be ‘The King’ of collectors. The Tweed-based Elvis performer was only five when Presley died and jokes that he must have been born an Elvis fan. ‘My earliest memory is cutting out Elvis Presley clippings from the magazines and newspaper,’ he said. ‘I’ve always had this appreciation for him.’ Rusty’s collection includes some 800 records, as well as Elvis books, plates, teddy bears, board games, towels and lifesize cardboard cut-outs – much of which was sourced while on a 2001 pilgrimage to Presley’s Graceland home in Memphis. ‘My pantry is so full of Elvis memorabilia, I can’t even put my food in there,’ he jokes. ‘Sometimes I wonder how I got all this stuff. People must think I don’t have a real job’ Rusty previously ran two Elvis-themed restaurants in Newcastle and has been performing professionally for about 12 years. He even named his 15-year-old son after his idol. The 39-year-old personal trainer performed extensively in the Newcastle and Sydney area before relocating to the

Tweed about 18 months ago. He plans to relaunch his stage show, aptly named The Elvis Collector, this weekend at Cabarita Sports Club, where he has had a selection of memorabilia on display for the past six weeks.

The show incorporates his large memorabilia collection, as well as his own interpretations of Elvis hits. He will be joined on stage by his two children, who are also keen performers. Rusty says he is now look-

Former MP takes stand against corruption Anti-corruption fighter John Hatton, the former South Coast MP, is leading a campaign to stand independent candidates at the state election next March. He will be in South Tweed today (Thursday) at the Sports Club, Minjungbal Drive, at

is that affecting your life, and affecting where you live? What can be done about it?’ Mr Hatton’s candidates are standing in an effort ‘to rid government of cronyism and self-serving politicians who twist laws to suit campaign donors.’

Tweed Council appears poised to support a renewed bid to hold major music festivals on a 256 hectare site just over its border in neighbouring Byron Shire. A syndicate behind the North Byron Shire Parklands site at Yelgun has asked the council to support its application to the state government for approval to turn it into a concert and music venue. Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner revealed brief details in his firstever mayoral minute, which he introduced unannounced at this week’s special council meeting after ruling it was a matter of ‘great urgency’. He said proponents of the venture were seeking a meeting with councillors before the next council meeting on November 16, to outline their plans in the hope of winning their support. The venue would stage major events catering up to 50,000 patrons for 12 days of the year and smaller events for 300 to 10,000 patrons for up to eight days each year. ‘It is understood that the NSW Department of Planning will receive formal submissions on the proposal up until November 19,’ he said in the minute, tabled at the end of the water debate. Cr Skinner signalled his support for the application even though the venue was located in Byron Shire. ‘Because of its proximity, it’s

anticipated there will be ongoing economic benefits flowing to the Tweed through the provision of accommodation, services and direct employment,’ he said. ‘It is understood that during festivals shuttle buses will carry patrons to and from the site to the Tweed coast.’ He said the application had been endorsed by Tweed’s tour-

ism chief Phil Villiers who believed the spin-offs would benefit accommodation providers and the local economy. But any support could put the council on a collision course with Byron Shire Council which stopped the owners from staging the annual Splendour in the Grass festival on the site for the first time last year, forcing it to relocate to Queensland.

Going from resort to residential? Tweed Council has decided to invite the owners of a development site just inside Tweed Shire’s southern boundary and almost adjoining the festival land to meet with them to discuss their plans to try to resurrect a 24-year-old development consent. The Melbourne-based Wooyung Property Group bought the 80 hectare oceanfront property between Pottsville and South Golden Beach last year for $17 million but has so far declined to reveal its intentions for the troubled site. The site has remained undeveloped ever since Tweed Council gave consent for an upmarket Club Med-style resort amid corruption allegations in 1988. The dodgy approval was highlighted by a landmark corruption investigation and a new council tried to kill off the project by declaring the consents had lapsed and environmental controls inadequate. But four years ago the resort

unexpectedly became a reality again when the latest in a long line of owners, Samtay Pty Ltd, won a landmark court case allowing it to re-activate the 18-year-old development consent for what was described as a destination resort. The original approval gave the green light for 300 tourist units on islands created on a 15 hectare man-made lake and a nine-hole golf-course on the flood-prone site, contaminated by high levels of acid-sulphate soils. But when Samtay tried to push ahead with the project it was slammed by then Planning Minister Frank Sartor, describing it and other marginally less grandiose projects as ‘greedy’ and a ‘dog of a development.’ Samtay have since on sold to the current owners who Cr Skinner said now wanted to discuss plans to rezone the land from a resort development to allow a residential subdivision.

Cancer unit benefits from exhibition A weekend photographic exhibition, held in an empty Murwillumbah building, has raised more than $4,000 for the Tweed/Byron Network Cancer Care Unit. The 3 Photography exhibition was organised by local photographers Trevor Worden, Tristam Evison and Justin Ealand, who auctioned off their work to help raise the funds. More than 200 people at-

tended the exhibition launch at the former furniture shop in Prospero Street last Friday. The photographers said they were thrilled by community response to the exhibition, with the event exceeding all expectations. ‘We were just blown away with the community response and we’re delighted to have raised such a substantial contribution,’ Mr Ealand said.

All proceeds will benefit the regional cancer unit, which is opening a treatment room at Murwillumbah hospital, providing much needed care for local community cancer patients. Mr Ealand said the event was the first of what is set to become an annual photographic exhibition, with some sponsors already expressing a desire to be more involved.

Comment

New paradigm produces good results Volume 3 #10

November 4, 2010

The dam is done How very peculiar. Once again mayor Skinner votes twice in favour of a dam on Byrrill Creek, with every appearance of having his arm twisted behind his back. There are of course good reasons for him to be reluctant, given that the dam option is not the one supported by the community or council’s own staff, and is by any measure an unscientific and unethical decision. Unless he explains it himself it is idle to speculate about what pressure has been placed on Cr Skinner, but there is certainly much speculation in the community over why this indefensible proposal has been rammed through by a minority of councillors (the mayor’s casting vote was twice required to pass it – in itself a breach of convention – after the councillors tied at three-all). The rumours range from payback against the rally protesters living in Byrrill Creek, to grandiose plans to sell the water to Queenslanders, to the obvious point that a new dam enhances the value of the mega housing developments about to start in the north of the shire. However, it is quite likely that none of these motives apply to Crs Polglase, Youngblutt and Skinner who, despite representing cumulatively only a quarter of the vote (even after preferences) at the last council election, find themselves by a freak of circumstance able to dictate a water policy abhorred by the majority of ratepayers. They may genuinely believe that they and only they know how to choose the correct course for the rest of us – Warren Polglase and Phil Youngblutt in particular are fond of jeering at residents – and that they have to rise nobly above the inconvenient mountain of evidence to impose an unpopular and outmoded solution on the shire. It is only fair to accept that they believe what they are doing is right. Only a very cynical observer would suggest that a project which leeches time, energy and money away from politically active residents, and forces them to place their lives on hold while the case progresses slowly through courts and government departments, could be a desirable end in itself. The cynic could point to a range of other developments poised to begin, which may not now receive as much attention. Whatever one may think of the Byrrill Creek dam decision, its confirmation at Monday’s meeting has set in train a long and costly process, the expense of which will be borne by the ratepayer. It is also almost certainly a futile process, as neither state nor federal government is likely to approve such an environmentally reckless project.

unday’s television news said it all. There was Tony Abbott finishing the Port Macquarie half ironman race three hours behind the winner, while Julia Gillard was in Vietnam chatting companionably to Hillary Clinton and other world leaders about the international outlook. Surely it must now be becoming apparent to even the slowest members of the Coalition that they are not a government in waiting; they are the opposition, and they’re likely to stay that way for quite a while. Abbott himself appears to be coming to terms with this inconvenient truth: he has given up trying to lure the independents across to his side of the House on a permanent basis, preferring to negotiate with them on individual bills. In other words, his aim is to use the precarious state of parliament to embarrass the government as much as possible, but not to bring it down. Obviously if the opportunity arose he would take it, but he is no longer holding his breath. The independents are clearly enjoying their role as kingmakers and are in no hurry to abandon it. A premature election would almost certainly return them to political impotence, so they are not about to bring it on. And of course Labor has absolutely no intention of returning to the polls at least until the voters have had a chance to purge themselves through state elections in New South Wales and Queensland and probably for as long as possible thereafter. Minority government may be a strange and distasteful concept for most of those in Canberra, but they will just have to lie back and enjoy it. Last week’s session of parliament can be said to mark

And their rise is reflected in the senate, where Nick Xenophon’s move for a limited inquiry into the banking industry has also received approval. Like the Afghanistan debate this is long overdue; since the Global Financial Crisis, the role of the banks in Australia has changed considerably. Having demanded and received the protection of the government – meaning the taxpayers – they can no longer

Banks continue to make enormous profits on the back of unconscionable charges and grossly overpay their executives. by Mungo MacCallum carbon, are the most obvious, but it doesn’t end there. As a journalist I can only applaud the passage of Andrew Wilkie’s bill allowing the hacks to protect their sources of information, while also applauding the commonsense of the independents who refused to go along with the opposition’s melodramatic proposal for a judicial inquiry into the Building Education Revolution. Actually the demand was largely a product of The Australian’s obsessive-compulsive disorder on the subject; it never had any real support beyond the febrile pages of our national daily. And now it looks like being replaced with an even sillier crusade against the National Broadband Network, which impinges on an area closer to Rupert Murdoch’s wallet. No doubt the opposition will ramp that campaign up in tandem with the self-interested media, but once again the independents appear ready to line up in the cause of sanity.

claim that their sole responsibility is to their shareholders; the oligopoly of the big four must now answer to the general public. Of course they will resist, initially with bluff and bluster; ANZ chief Mike Smith led the way with a nonsensical diatribe comparing shadow treasurer Joe Hockey to Venezuela’s socialist president Hugo Chavez. But the fact remains that banks continue to make enormous profits on the back of unconscionable charges and grossly overpay their executives to undertake risky ventures for short term gain, secure in the knowledge that the government will once again be forced to bail them out if things go wrong. Hockey initially sold his case badly and copped a lot of flak for it, but now some of the mainstream commentators are starting to acknowledge that the need for investigation goes well beyond mere populist bank-bashing; the banks are

now caught in a genuine conflict of interest which needs to be clarified and resolved. The government, seriously bruised by its ongoing wars with the mining industry, would be most unlikely to open another front with the banks; only the rise of the independents makes such a move possible. The senate inquiry is the first step that will, with any luck, lead to a wider debate and lead to the reforms Kevin Rudd promised two years ago in the wake of the GFC. The other biggie, which sees the independents themselves somewhat conflicted, is what to do about the Murray Darling system; the irrigators have won the first skirmish and the Murray Darling Authority is to issue a fresh report, this time paying more attention to the socio-economic consequences of changes to allocations. Fair enough – until the dreaded word ‘balance’ appears on the agenda. The MDA’s first report, relying on science, not special pleading, found that to get the system back to its pristine state 7,000 extra gigalitres of water a year would be needed; and just to make it viable, the minimum would be 3,000 extra gigalitres. This would mean cuts to the irrigators of various amounts with an average of 27 per cent across the basin. Less would simply not work. But now the irrigators are treating the 3,000 figure not as an irreducible minimum but as an ambit claim, to be negotiated down; that is apparently what is meant by balance. It is not balance, it is voodoo. The science cannot be compromised. But can we rely on the commonsense of the rural independents to support it, as they have supported the NBN and carbon pricing? Well, we can hope.

More dam discontent I am saddened to find as the dust settles on the rally debacle, there is another travesty looming. Mayor Skinner used his casting vote to go against council staff’s own recommendations and make the damming of Byrrill Creek the first choice in water storage for our region. Apparently he believes he is doing it for our children and grandchildren so they will have water. Would someone please explain to Mr Skinner that saving our precious environment and the biodiversity it contains (which can never be replaced) is also for our children and grandchildren. I listened to David Suzuki last night who reminded us that natural resources are finite. We cannot make any more air or water or soil than there already is, yet these things are essential to our survival. Natural ecosystems like Byrrill Creek provide these natural resources, we should be doing everything we can to protect them. There are other ways to capture water: tanks, double reticulation systems, better water management and use, and as a last resort building up Clarrie Hall Dam, which needs repair anyway, apparently. If mayor Skinner is genuinely interested in the wellbeing of our community into the future, why doesn’t he support these other options? Would someone also please explain that if he is really worried about the water availability in this region why he doesn’t try to stop the dense residential developments the council seems so fond of promoting – they are only making things worse. At the very least make them sustainable and water responsible. Make it man-

Forced into battle Just a quick note to accurately inform those who feel that we who have lived and worked and contributed in the Uki community for many years are ‘professional protesters’.

Contemptible remark Cr Polglase was overheard at the last council meeting telling a local resident to ‘get a job.’ The funny part was, that resident is 80 years old!

Chinderah It is time for us as humans to realise that we are greedy and have become complacent, about water in particular. We expect it to turn up into our homes and feel independently free to use whatever amount we want to whenever we feel like it. This situation has to change. The world through its huge population growth, through its mining and agriculture needs is using a lot of water. There is not enough water on our planet to provide water to the world’s population the way we wealthy western communities have been used to using it. Do you really think that putting in a dam at Byrrill Creek is going to provide more water? Do you think that maybe it could be just changing the course of its usage? We cannot make more water. Or do you think we can? Every time we build a dam for one purpose, this water is taken away from other purposes. The only way we can have enough water for all our needs is to stop wasting it. Recycle it… conserve it… harvest it from the sky… and build sustainably. Please digest these comments and make a decision not to waste money on a dam that can never provide more water… and find out more about sustainability. Q

In the absence of any substantive argument or logical thinking one would have to question the mayor and other councillors’ motives for such an incredible dam decision. Has for instance this drastic decision been taken for perceived economic gain, eg. a second dam option creating water well in excess of needs, to be piped/ sold off to the highest regional bidder in times of need? Or has this decision been made to honour development and planning agreements reached in a bygone era? Whatever the motive councillors need to come clean and provide some hard evidence and real facts to justify the decision. Q

A world class sustainable event venue for the Byron Shire The proposal for a permanent sustainable cultural event venue on North Byron Parklands’ 660 acre site at Yelgun is now on public exhibition with the NSW Department of Planning. Your supportive submission will make all the difference to the success of the proposal. s

The event usage proposed is in grazed pasturelands covering less than 50% of the site, leaving the majority for habitat use and bush regeneration.

s

Approval has been sought for up to 20 days of events each year: - Minor events – less than 300 patrons – no daily limits proposed - Small events – 300 to 3,000 patrons – no more than 4 event days per year - Moderate events – 3000 – 10,000 patrons – no more than 4 event days per year - Major events –10,000 – 35,000* patrons – no more than 12 event days per year. Splendour in the Grass would occupy 3 of these 12 days. It would take many years to build to this capacity. One or two major events would be held in the first year. * Incremental capacity increases from 35,000 would only be sought based on achieving stringent performance criteria covering a range of aspects such as traffic, noise, ecology etc. Extensive studies have shown that a manageable long term upper limit of patrons for a major event is 50,000. A later stage proposes a conference centre with a capacity of up to 180 people, a cultural centre covering indigenous and non-indigenous history from the immediate area, a depot and office for a rainforest restoration team and a nursery for rainforest and bush tucker plants.

Stokers Siding As a member of the Community Working Group on the water supply augmentation, I was appalled by the council going against the staff recommendations. This is not the first time that they have disregarded staff recommendations; I sat in when they deferred the Kings Forest submission, missing the first official submission date. It is all interrelated. The staff have done the right things, and they have been been documented. At least until we get new councillors, the staff are our allies, and to assist them in consultation, you must have your say. Our community direction is under the spotlight with the Community Strategic Plan. Submissions are open until November 8. Let them know what kind of things you want here in ten or twenty years’ time.

She was also a major contender in athletics when she was young, running against both Betty Cuthbert and Janet Stickland, and still is an avid bushwalker today. Elizabeth is passionate about the environment and social justice at a time when most people are sitting back knitting. She is a staunch supporter of NRG and was largely responsible for the enormous fund raising efforts of this group. She attends every council meeting, and can always be relied upon to voice her objections to the insanity that masquerades as public policy debate. This woman hardly needs to be told to get a job!

HEALTH & BEAUTY NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR NATUROPATHS WELCOMED The move towards an independent Registration Board for naturopaths and herbalists has been welcomed by Southern Cross University, a leading provider of education in natural and complementary medicine. A board made up of industry and community members has been set up to establish the Australian Register of Naturopaths and Herbalists (ARONAH), which will for the first time set uniform national standards in training and practice for naturopaths and western herbal medicine practitioners, and develop a register of practitioners who meet those standards. Mr Paul Orrock, a senior lecturer in the School of Health and Human Sciences and chair of the register’s steering committee, welcomed the announcement. ‘The best thing is that the public and stakeholders will soon be able to look to uniform professional standards. This will be similar to the statutory system in place in other health professions,’ Mr Orrock said. ‘It will make the standards uniform in education and training and in ethical practice. We believe that the industry is ready for this. There are thousands of practising naturopaths and herbalists who have been well trained and who are of a high standard. ‘ARONAH’s constitution is based on the legislative requirements for all registered health professions in Australia, and the board members were chosen using a transparent, open and rigorous process by an independent selection panel with no connection to the professions.’ Angela Doolan, chair of the newly appointed board, said to ensure independence the register would mirror the federal government’s new National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for other health professionals. ‘There has long been a clear need for an independent body that represents the interests of the public rather than the profession by regulating standards of training and practice,’ Ms Doolan said.

‘Currently, anyone can hang out their shingle as a herbalist or naturopath and practise without any training whatsoever, and with little accountability. The public is increasingly turning to herbalists and naturopaths so continuing along those lines is clearly untenable.’ The Board’s first meeting will take place in Brisbane on November 21. The register should be available by mid-2011, allowing the public to check the credentials of their practitioner. The Board is currently inviting interested parties to make submissions on what they believe the standards of training and practice for naturopaths and herbalists should be. Submissions can be made at the ARONAH website www.aronah.org.

estate deals as long as you don’t overspend. VIRGO: Responsibilities, obligations, health concerns and money worries snapping at your heels? Find at least some time to put them on hold this week, which favours travel and the company of others. The world’s awash with karmic garbage and you need regular injections of joy to stay afloat.LIBRA: Things may not be what they seem this week, so read between the lines and suss out the real deal underneath the surface hype. Moderate strong instinctive responses and orchestrate the most graceful method of getting your needs met in a way that also benefits others. SCORPIO: While the heavenly trifecta of Sun, Mercury and Venus simmer

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s reward for recent in-depth exploration of your part in current misunderstandings is Mars delivering a stimulus package of renewed confidence and resolutions. Don’t judge others if they can’t be as straight with you as you’d like – it’s more important that you’re honest with yourself. CAPRICORN: While this week features impressive control freakery and personal power politicking, it also offers plenty of potential if you can avoid fixating on what you don’t want

and focus on what you do. And easing up on judgments makes it easier for something new to slide on through. AQUARIUS: This week ushers Aquarians into the Month of Strong Medicine, which calls for staying power. Ruthless truthfulness. Zipping the lip and listening to your feelings. If you’re bent on making changes, check with whomever will be affected by them – they may have plans of their own. PISCES: While the present planetary potpourri elevates your spunk ratings, it’s still worthwhile checking when you’re planning this week’s moves whether they pass the karmic test: is that how you’d like to be treated? Because karma being what it is, at some time soon you will.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm Last year, Magnus Carlsen scored a stunning victory in the Pearl Spring tournament in Nanjing, a victory that catapulted him to the top of the world rankings. Twelve months later Carlsen was back in Nanjing, his top ranking recently surrendered to Viswanathan Anand, but the Norwegian teenager has continued as he left off, dominating the tournament and leaving Anand and Topalov chasing his heels. Topalov, who was put out of the running for first place after the heavy defeat against Carlsen given below, was philosophical about losing, admitting that when he was Carlsen’s age he thought that 30 was impossibly old but now that he is 35 he views 40 as a likely retirement age. Anand, on the other hand, was asked in Nanjing whether on turning 41 in December he would also be turning his mind to retirement and life after chess, given that Garry Kasparov retired at 42. ‘I haven’t given any thought to retirement,’ was the World Champion’s curt reply.

Meanwhile Carlsen, who turns 20 at the end of November, keeps winning tournaments and is back on top of the rankings. Nanjing 2010 White: M Carlsen Black: V Topalov Opening: Ruy Lopez 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.d3!? A quiet approach but not inferior to the standard 6.Re1. 6...b5 7.Bb3 d6 8.a4 Rb8 9.axb5 axb5 10.Nbd2 0-0 11.Re1 Bd7 A strangely insipid plan for such an active player. ‘I made a bad opening choice,” admitted Topalov later.’ 11…Be6 was less obliging. 12.c3 Ra8 13.Rxa8 Qxa8 14.d4 h6 15.Nf1 Re8 16.Ng3 Qc8?! 17.Nh4 Bf8 18.Ng6 This manoeuvre, exchanging a passive bishop for an active knight, seems bizarre but Carlsen explained that ‘afterwards I can play f4 with a big attack.’ The manoeuvre would have had the stamp of approval of Carlsen’s former coach Garry Kasparov, who used the same idea to beat Nigel Short in their 1993 world title contest. 18...Na5 19.Nxf8 Rxf8 20.Bc2 Re8 21.f4 Bg4 22.Qd3 exf4 23.Bxf4 Nc4 24.Bc1! c5 25.Rf1! As if by magic, Carlsen has built up a winning position, with threats against f6 and h6. 25...cxd4 26.cxd4 Qd8 27.h3 Be6 28.b3 Qa5 29.Kh2 Showing super-human calm. Most players would take the pawn on h6 but Carlsen has bigger fish to fry. 29…Nh7 30.e5! g6 31.d5! Nxe5 32.dxe6!! 1-0 Topalov has seen enough. After 32.dxe6 Nxd3 33.exf7+ Kf8 34.Bxh6+ Ke7 35.fxe8Q+ Kxe8 36.Bxd3 Black will soon lose the knight on h7 as well.

Steph and Looly Unplugged Steph and Looly are Gold Coast born sisters who have been singing and dancing together since before they can remember. The band is composed of 19-yearold Stephanie Nicole Costan and 17-year-old Alicia Marie Costan. Their individual vocal tones fuse together to create a unique sound that is fresh and exciting. Over the past few years the sisters have been taking time to work on solo projects, with Steph pursuing a music degree at the conservatorium while Looly completes her final year of high school. They have come together once again to share their music with as many people as possible. Both are strong believers of music as an artform and hope to pursue this through their own musical style. They perform 9.15pm on Thursday, November 4 at the Gold Coast Arts Centre.

Diesel grinds 7 axes Armed with the most eclectic collection of instruments, Diesel hits the road for the 7 Axes To Grind national tour. Over the years this multi ARIA award winner has endeavoured to explore many a string instrument and it’s through these explorations that the inspiration for many of Diesel’s works has emerged. Now for the first time, Diesel will attempt to shine a light on the origins of these instruments and their role in the making of his music. Saddled up with a voice that is timeless and his ‘family’ of guitars of wide distinction, Diesel brings it to the stage for what is sure to be an insightful night, showcasing this journeyman of music. He plays Coolangatta Hotel on Friday, November 5 at 9pm.

photographic images, the beauty of this magical country is captured through the four seasons of the year. At Gold Coast Arts Centre on Friday, November 5 at 3.30pm and 7.30pm.

From humble beginnings in Byron Bay, Marshall and the Fro are now in demand performing nationally and internationally. Their music feels so natural and so comfortable it’s like slipping into your favourite pair of double pluggers only to find that you’re slamming them together in the air chanting an OCCA anthem ‘I got my thongs on! The band embraces its Australian heritage and what better token of choice than the humble rubber double plugger! Comprised of Marshall OKell on vocals,

guitar, slide guitar and percussion, Nick Ohlson on bass and Jacob Mann on drums. The band will be supported by The Phonies and Ashleigh Mannix at the Currumbin Soundlounge on Friday November 5 at 9.30pm.

The Wacky Gees During the legendary Wickety Wak years, the boys became exceptionally well known for their send-ups and impersonations of international stars. One of the most requested was Greg, Robbie and Tony’s tribute to the Bee Gees. See it at Twin Towns Friday November 5 at 9pm.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame The show starts with Rob Fitches and his inimitable style and continues with the very talented and entertaining Bob Axford. After Bob there is Maggie Cunningham-Webb –that woman from Cork City who leaves everyone in stitches, that is, when they’re not being moved by her poetry. The evening will move along with that witty satirist with a Jewish twist, Geoff Morley, who has again brought along friend Michelle with her great voice and humour. The evening will also feature Barry Tiffen the bush poetry bard from Victoria. The father of talented Stokers local Andrew Tiffen is back to impress us with his stories in verse and sheer captivating skill. He will be followed by the Barber Shop Septet. The very wild ‘wild-card’ act from the Murwillumbah Toastmasters will keep everyone in stitches. All this and more at the Stoker’s Hall on Friday. November 5 from 7pm.

Japanese Traditional Music Concert The Sound of the Four Seasons will take you on a beautiful journey through the enchanting music and landscape of Japan. With the use of traditional Japanese musical instruments and a large collage of

Thirsty Merc takes new single Tommy and Krista on the road for a second round of Australian shows this month. One of Australia’s most loved bands, Thirsty Merc’s tour gives the homegrown four-piece an opportunity to deliver new hits and old favourites to fans. Following on from the hugely successful Mousetrap Heart album tour earlier this year, and with some 300 shows under their belt, Thirsty Merc have proven why they are one of Australia’s premier live music acts. They play Coolangatta Hotel on Saturday, Novermber 6 from 9pm.

Orbison ReBourne There is no doubt that Australian sensation Dean Bourne – described as the new Roy Orbison – is the world’s greatest exponent of the great hits and music of Roy Orbison today. His physical and vocal likeness to the great man is unquestionable. He brilliantly portrays Roy Orbison, particularly Orbison’s younger years as Bourne, at 38, is the same age as the performer was in the prime of his career. See him perform at Twin Towns Saturday, November 6 at 9pm.

Rae and Fennell trio Tiffany Rae shares the stage with some of the finest musicians in Australia – a superb line-up comprising Dave Fennel (piano/ backing vocals), Craig Kickbush (bass) and Todd Byrnes (drums). Come into the warm and inviting surrounds of the Basement and relax with Rae as she shares with you a wide variety of smooth standards, featuring some popular Latin and swing classics. At Gold Coast Arts Centre on Saturday, November 6 at 8.30pm.

Our Generation Doco A rollercoaster journey into the heart of Australia’s Indigenous relations, a hidden shame that is pushing the world’s oldest living culture to the edge. Through the stories of the Yolngu of north-east Arnhem Land, the film looks at the government’s ongoing policies of paternalism and assimilation, examining the real issues underlying Indigenous disadvantage. The film also attempts to open dialogue on ways forward that respect Aboriginal culture and dignity. The film screens at Gold Coast Arts Centre on Wednesday, November 10 at 5pm and 7.30pm.

my songs and my life informs my songs. And songs are living things; they mean one thing at the time I write them, and five years later I sing them and it means something completely different. Mostly, songwriting and life are a mystery that end in a question, not an answer. How has being a songwriter enriched your life? Songwriting has taken me around the world ten times over, introduced me to tens of thousands of people I would not have met otherwise, and introduced me to parts of myself I did not even know existed.

It might seem that six groundbreaking albums of original songs, more than a dozen years of recording and touring around the world, a harvest of music industry awards, and covers of her songs by a roster of great artists that Mary Gauthier (say it: goshay) should have a handle on some of the big answers. Yet with each new album, with each new cycle of songs that illuminate her soul, with each old and new set of characters and life changes she introduces, Mary is always ending up with more questions. You say ‘there’s a freedom in knowing that you don’t have to know it all’ – it sounds like a great philosophy for life! Does your journey as a songwriter sometimes open doors for your own personal growth and understanding of life? It works both ways. I learn from

How did you first find your voice? Did it take time to find your own way, rather than emulating musicians that you admire? Yes. It takes a lot of time to find your writer’s voice. For me, I had to write for several years before my unique voice came through. The learning curve is different for everyone, but when you write your first song in your voice, you know it. How much of Mary Gauthier goes into her songs? Do you consider yourself a modern day storyteller/poet? I pour all of myself into my songs, and then I move on, changed. So what happens is the person I sing about when it comes time to perform the songs no longer exists. Is that a storyteller? A poet? A shape-shifter? A changeling? I’m not sure how to answer that, I don’t really know. Is the story you tell in The Foundling your story? Or does it matter whose story it is? Is it more about emotional authenticity? And the connection we experience through our shared humanity? What I try to do with the Foundling is balance a profoundly personal tale with classical underpinnings and ultimately hint at the idea that all our

lives are full of events and incidents that touch on the mythic and the timeless. In telling raw stories of who we are, how much do we need to protect ourselves, or is the honesty a part of the healing? Honesty is more than a part of the healing. Honesty is the healing. The challenge is to reach past the “I” and land on the “we”, because the deepest part of each of us is Universal in nature. There can be something poetic in suffering and emotional hardship... why do you think that is? Pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. Without it we stagnate. Why do you think we as humans prefer songs about struggle to songs of celebration? (Or are songs of struggle songs of celebration?) I think people want to see themselves in a song. I always look to songs to help me understand who I am and to make me feel less alone. This is true whether the song is a song of struggle or a song of celebration. What is the connection you see between music and food? Music and food are two ways of showing love. I love that you released your debut album at 35 and that your career took off from there. Do you think it’s a lesson in forgetting conventions and learning to follow your dreams...do you think the folk and country scenes are less concerned about the age related conventions of the mainstream music industry? I think the mainstream music industry caters to youth, as it should. I have no interest in the mainstream music industry. My interest has always been in connecting with people outside of convention, whose lives are rarely reflected in the mainstream.

Steph gains legendary status Solano questions fish netting

Stephanie Gilmore has claimed her fourth consecutive ASP Women’s World Title, making history at the Rip Curl Women’s Pro Search Puerto Rico. With her quarterfinal win over Hawaii’s Melanie Bartels, Gilmore amassed enough points to knock sole remaining contender Sally Fitzgibbons out of the running for the 2010 ASP Women’s World Title Race. ‘I’m really at a loss for words right now,’ Gilmore said. ‘Mel (Bartels) is one of the most dangerous surfers in the world and has had my number on several occasions. Even on that last wave there, I was certain she’d got the score. I was blown away when they called it out and I’m rapt right now.’ The historic occasion marks the first time an athlete has achieved a perfect record in the professional surfing world, with Gilmore claiming the coveted crown in her rookie season and every year since. ‘I guess I haven’t really been thinking about that,’ Gilmore said. ‘But to hold a record that Layne (Beachley) or even Kelly (Slater) never got is pretty special. I never thought I would even win two consecutive titles so to win four is a massive achievement for me.’ In one of her strongest per-

formances to date, Gilmore’s comprehensive and unabated assault on the 2010 ASP Women’s World Tour marks the first time the prodigious naturalfooter has clinched the crown before Hawaii. The newly-minted champion then continued with the event where she took out her 16th elite tour win defeating 18 year old rookie sensation Carissa Moore from Hawaii, in one metre waves in Porta Del Sol, to claim the Rip Curl Women’s Search Pro Puerto Rico. ‘I actually dreamed this one up last night,’ Gilmore said. ‘Maybe I’m still dreaming. It’s been a monumental day for me. I mean, the best mindset to have in your heats is to be relaxed and calm, and after winning the title in the Quarters, I just felt really calm. So it worked out well and I think I actually surfed better after it was done and dusted.’ In challenging afternoon conditions, it was Gilmore who drew blood early on, locking in a near-perfect 9.80 out of a perfect 10 for a searing forehand assault on a rare clean righthander. ‘I was just really fortunate that that wave cleaned up for me to do some damage on,’ Gilmore said. ‘Even afterwards,

I just couldn’t find a solid backup. Carissa (Moore) has been ripping all event long and she’s so dangerous. I was honored to be in the Final with her, and to win it just makes everything that much bigger.’ With her runner-up finish, Moore moves from fifth to third on the 2010 ASP Women’s World Title Race, recording one of the most impressive rookie seasons in ASP history. ‘Of course I wanted to win but to be in the Final with Steph (Gilmore) after she just accomplished what she did was really special,’ Moore said. ‘I’m really thankful to be here in Puerto Rico – it’s beautiful and warm and really reminds me of home. I’m looking forward to heading back to Oahu to finish the season out.’ Sally Fitzgibbons, 19, was one of the form surfers of the event, consistently notching the high single-wave and heat totals each round with unmatched power and ferocity. However, the young Australian was unable to halt a late charge from a rampaging Moore in their Semifinal bout. ‘It’s disappointing to lose when you have a strong lead early on,’ Fitzgibbons said. ‘That’s the way it goes sometimes. It’s been a strong event for me, but I’m still looking for that first win. That’s my goal for the next event in Hawaii and I want to finish strong to set me up well for a big year next season.’ Australia’s Chelsea Hedges, 27, posted a solid Quarterfinal win over French rookie Lee Ann Curren 21, but was unable to stop eventual winner Gilmore in their Semifinal clash. The next and final stop on the 2010 ASP Women’s World Tour will be the Gidget Pro Sunset Beach from November 24 through December 6, 2010.

I did it again. I caught another monster lizard on the Tweed, but instead of shallow water, this 82cm flathead was caught behind the hospital on Craig ‘Costa’ Costigan’s boat. This fish put up a great fight but the best part was being able to release it alive. I’ve been saving up for a new rod and finally settled on a Samuri Reaction Rod. The model I bought is a 203 with a medium to fast action so it’s perfect for soft plastics. I’ve been a G-Loomis fan for ages but recently I’ve discovered my Loomis rods were designed for trout and bass where the Samuri is for bream but as I found out on Saturday it works well with heavier gear. We were using Atomic guzzlers with 1/2oz Gamagatsu Jig heads. How you catch them is not that hard, you just have to be lucky, drop the lure staight down (if you cast out you stand a good chance of snagging), feel it hit the bottom, give it a sharp lift then hit the bottom again and if you’re getting not be permitted. It is a presnagged up that’s a good sign historic practice which needs as that’s where the big fish play. to end. Yuk! The large scale of captured fish in these big nets Netting (everything in the river) cerTuesday late afternoon I spotted tainly reduces the opportunity something that I had heard of for the recreational fisherman but not seen before: a pro netter to catch a fish for his dinner heading up Cobaki Broadwater. or just for the pleasure of catch I cannot believe people are and release. Opinions on this matgiven licences to net fish in the Tweed River. In my opinion ter should be interesting. The it’s just disgusting and should Tweed River and environs are

visually beautiful and to spend a day on the water is invigorating and to be able to catch a fish is the icing on the cake. We need to look after this beautiful place. PS: Last week I talked about an episode of the Simpsons where Homer ate his pet lobster. I said its name was Clinky. I was wrong – it was Pinchy.

New AFL team for Murwillumbah In a bid to revive AFL in the Murwillumbah area, a group of locals are planning on getting up a team and they are looking for recruits ‘We have about eight definite players at the moment,’ says one of the organisers Dan Hogarth. ‘Realistically we are looking for 25 to 30. Any other people interested are also more than welcome. You don’t have to be a player. We are looking

for trainers, water boys and sponsors. We hope to use the showgrounds as our home field but are yet to finalise that.’ Dan says the team have Jamie Follet on board – Jamie coached the previous Murwillumbah team to a premiership back in 1997. Dan says the new team has the approval of the governing body so it’s all go. ‘We have the full support of AFL

Queensland,’ says Dan. ‘They run the NR comp. and are at the moment putting lots of time and effort into the league. Dan says the side used to be called the ‘Hawks’, but as part of the first meeting and get-toknow-you event, they will be discussing new names, colours and possibly a team song. Anyone interested in more information can phone Dan Hogarth on 0402 471 366.
