Dear Editor, on streetscape

I note Mr Bob Neil’s concern about Dayboro’s streetscape (letters, December 2007).  My concern is that land owners are being forced to conform to any architectural standard of building design at all.  The old buildings in Dayboro are such as they are precisely because when they were (jerry) built, there was no architectural regulator commanding what land holders did, thank God.  Now we have absurd regulatory controls about building design that really belong in fascist and communist countries where freedom of expression is uniformly denied to all.

Dear Editor, on Parenting

My life changed forever 2½years ago when I became a parent for the first time. No amount of talking to family or friends or reading countless books on parenting prepared me for the experience of childbirth and then the day to day events of raising a child.

DON’T PANIC MR MANNERING

Sub-prime crisis (whatever that is), US recession, Share Market heading south, Fuel prices heading north and you not getting any younger. It’s all too hard. Maybe it’s time to cut and run? Maybe not!

To say we are in interesting economic times would be something of an understatement. The Aussie economy, riding at least partly on the back of high demand for our resources appears to be powering along reasonably well in an uncertain world. The goings-on in the US certainly have an impact on our economic well-being, but we are truly part of a global economy today and the US economy isn’t the whole story any more. There’s China, of course and a heap of other trading partners in Asia and Europe, not to mention Japan.

NETWORK TOPIC Feb 2008

Whilst everything is going well on the “horse flu” scene the National Management Group (NMG) stresses that it is critical that everyone continues to comply with restrictions.  A major setback could occur if someone did the wrong thing.

We’d really like to completely eradicate this virus from Australian shores.  If achieving that means spraying your hands and dipping your shoes in the tray of disinfectant before entering a local store, it really isn’t too much to ask is it?  It is for just a bit longer folks!  You can do it!
