Ken Sapwell

A landmark report released this week paints a bleak future for the health of the Cobaki and Terranora Broadwaters and four fresh water streams flowing into them unless we learn from past mistakes. The report found all six waterways were un- der stress with some in poor health - mainly as a result of farmland clearing up to the 1950s and residential development which mostly peaked in catchments in the 1980s. The ecosystem health monitoring report warns that acute demand for housing in catch- ments areas will increase the pressures and that the council and the community needs to be proactive in dealing with the problem. The report follows an investigation into the health of the two broadwaters and the Duroby, Bilambil, Cobaki and Bilambil feeder creeks which for the first time examined the biological impacts of urban and farmland run-off. Tweed council river committee chairman Kevin Skinner said the report pulled no punches in assessing the damage that riverine tree-clear- ing and other land-use practices had caused. Members of the new Tweed River Regional Museum steering committee (left to right) Joan Smith (president, Tweed Heads Historical Society), ‘It’s a wake-up call for everyone to learn from Gary Fidler (president, Friends of the Museum), Helena Duckworth (president of Uki and South Arm Historical Society), Ron Johansen (president, past mistakes,’ he said.

1. Robin Wright Penn stars with Jude Law in Breaking And Entering (Prime, Friday, 8.30pm), a drama about social tensions in Europe which failed to overly sway critics or viewers. 2. The commercial channels are a wasteland on Saturday so you might as well try to spot your favourite local landscape in East Of Everything (ABC1, 7.30pm). Kathryn Beck plays the dizzy Lizzy. 3. Little Miss Sunshine (TEN, Sunday, 8.40pm) was one of the best films of 2006, hilarious and touching in turn. Abigail Breslin as the young girl in question is brilliant among a stellar cast 1 2 3 which includes Alan Arkin and Toni Collette. TWO
