Here is an article from Friday, Oct 28, 2011-- the day of the JRPP meeting.

I'd like to add who Warren Mathews is. He is from the New South Wales Health Department and isn't too happy with Andy's waste processing scheme by the river.
Not sure why his title was left off - as always in this fiasco, I feel skeptical and suspicious. Maybe I will start keeping a list of my suspicions to see how many turn out to be true!
But, frustratingly, most of them are impossible to prove one way or the other. So I am just left with these nagging feelings, which all point to the same conclusion -- this whole deal stinks like a rotten egg.
That, by the way, is evidently the same smell you get when you turn over compost piles. Ask the people who live near the compost pile over at Andy's Sand and Soil, on Bungonia Road. I happened to be in the neighborhood myself one day and smelled it. Phew! Horrible.
PS If someone could add Warren's actual title, I'd appreciate it...
Also - Thanks to Paul for spotting the bit about asbestos and Leigh Bottrell for adding it in.
Please also add the part about the noise report not mentioning the beep beep beep back up alarms.
I wrote to Heggies last week, but haven't gotten an answer yet.
Here is their phone number if anyone wants to ring them to see if they got my email. Maybe I will post the mail later. Or someone who got a copy of it could....

In fact, I'd appreciate a CC of anything sent to people so I can keep adding it to my files. I'm afraid things will tend to disappear into black holes otherwise... like my two letters to the editor have done.
Also, while I am thinking of it, I'd recomend the Post tell people why they aren't publishing their online comments. Louise Thrower wrote me and said some were rejected because of slander on the day I wrote mine. I don't recall saying anything slanderous, but even if I did it would been appreciated if they would have written me back, as they did have my email, and let me know why my comment was unnacceptable. Then I could have edited it and re-submitted it. Seems easy enough. And thoughtful enough.
Just rejecting a comment with no explanation seems a bit heavy handed to me. And it leaves them open to appearing biased.
