MONTY DON’S FRENCH GARDENS

ABC, 7.30pm

Keeping his hands clean in this three-part series, there’s not a trowel in sight as UK gardening guru Monty Don (pictured) tours France to showcase the country’s gardens. In tonight’s premiere episode, he takes a trip through history and the elaborate walled gardens of Château de Chenonceau, Château de Vauxle-Vicomte and the Palace of Versailles. Throughout history, the French have traditionally used gardens as a public expression of money, power and passion – the feats of horticulture on display here include magniﬁcent symmetrical displays of ﬂowers and enormous fountains built by thousands of soldiers on the behalf of a lovestruck king.

With half of the coaches on the other side of the world, and no chance of a studio audience, this season of The Voice has put the focus ﬁrmly back onto the artists. After all, it’s one of them who will walk away with a lifechanging $100,000 in prize money and a recording contract with EMI Music Australia. Tonight, as the ﬁnal four prepare to learn the voting results, they will each perform a solo number before teaming up with their coach for a duet. Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian will be live in the studio, but harmonising over satellite is a little tricky, so Aussie legends Daryl Braithwaite and The Veronicas will step in for Kelly Rowland and Boy George (pictured).

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ON THE SAUCE

ABC, 8.30pm

When a young Shaun Micallef (pictured) was taking his ﬁrst steps into comedy as a law student at Adelaide University, the presenter also made some excessive leaps in drinking – but hasn’t touched a drop since. Now that his sons have reached legal drinking age, he is tapping into Australia’s drinking culture to discover why we drink the way we do. Over three weeks, teetotaller Micallef meets researchers, psychologists and doctors, on a personal journey to try and understand alcohol consumption. Tonight, to investigate the social eﬀects of drinking, he crashes an 18th birthday party, heads to a B&S ball and joins a women’s soccer team on a pub crawl. 1707

LAST BALLINA BUSINESS STANDING WITHOUT NBN

BY DOMINIC FEAIN

REPORTS that the Ballina NBN rollout is complete appear to be premature with one CBD complex excluded. The now Ballina-based practice, Medisleep, operates nationally and leases three units in the complex, only relocating to Ballina in April following the announcement by the NBN Co. “This was great news for

me as a business owner, landlord and tenant in Ballina,” said Peter Taylor, Medisleep’s owner. “Finally, I could move the second part of my business here and enjoy the Northern Rivers full-time rather than intermittently with so much travelling between offices in Sydney and here. “It’s really frustrating that I based my final move from Sydney around this

announcement. “We have now moved most of the office here to The Boulevarde and employed locally, but the IT infrastructure now has to remain hosted at our old Artarmon office in Sydney at significant expense.” Several internet service providers have confirmed the problem lies with the NBN, not them. Following inquiries, NBN

Co released a statement simply stating the rollout would now be completed later this year. “To date it appeared that there was a rolling completion date for the NBN here, it was going to be February, then March, then Covid-19 hit, but mid-Covid-19 the NBN announced the roll-out was officially ‘completed’ so this

The wreath of native wattle with a heart shaped rock in its middle, to commemorate the life of Mani Hart-Deville was so fresh bees still buzzed among the blossoms.

moving floral tribute which sits on a walkway above the beach where Minnie Water teenager Mani Hart-Deville was killed in a horrific shark attack on Saturday reflects the grief the close-knit community is feeling. A wreath of wattle, so fresh bees were feeding on the blossoms, encircled a rock nature had shaped into a heart. The simple expression of grief at a young life suddenly snatched away, overlooks a coastal scene of breath-taking beauty. But less than a day earlier an incident of horror and true heroism had played out in that jewel ocean and on those pristine sands. Mani had joined a group of friends surfing at Wilsons Headland on the northern end of Wooli Beach at around 2pm. Locals say the group

surfed more often at Back Beach at Minnie Water or other beaches further north. “They rarely surfed at Wilson’s,” one local surfer said. “There must have been a good break there on Saturday.” Around 2.30pm a shark attacked Mani and his friends in the water instantly paddled toward him to help. Closest was a veteran surfer and lifelong Wooli resident Matt Howard. Mr Howard has not talked about the attack publicly, but friends who have heard his account of the attack, are in awe of his bravery. “The shark came back for a second go at Mani and Matt shoved his board in its face,” a friend said. He said the wounds the shark inflicted were massive, but Mani’s friends brought him to

shore and did everything they could to keep him alive. Sadly, their efforts and those of emergency services personnel were to no avail. He said those at the scene had talked about a great white shark six metres in length involved in the attack. “I don’t know, if that could be right,” he said. “But I know some local fisherman are saying they know the shark and they’ve seen it around.” Residents said NSW Department of Industries Fisheries and NSW Water Police had been active over the weekend. They said fisheries personnel had set drum lines offshore in an effort to catch the shark and Water Police vessels had patrolled inshore looking for the shark. NSW DPI confirmed it had begun operations

following the attack but could not give any further information. The community has gathered around Mani’s parents Adrian and Gina. “They’re wonderful, gentle people,” said one resident. “And Mani was a wonderful kid. A nice gentle boy. No ratbag. “He was way too nice which just makes what happened that much worse.” On social media the outpouring of grief has been massive. Champion teen surfer Carly Shanahan was a good friend of Mani and her post on Facebook told how special the young man was to her. “Rest easy Mani. Don’t want to believe this is real or happening. You were seriously a special human, there’s no real way to describe you because you were so different in the most amazing way. The memories we shared I will hold onto forever Love and miss you so much brother, keep shredding up there man,” Ms. Shanahan posted. On Sunday young people who knew Mani came to the beach to mourn their friend. They paused at the floral memorial and looked over the beach and the waves which had witnessed the tragic scene less than a day earlier. Words could not express what they were feeling. Tears, holding onto loved ones and remembering the friend they had lost was all that mattered.

can hardly be the reason for the delays … next we were promised May, then June, now July…,” Mr Taylor said. Even more strangely, a map supplied by an internet service provider shows all of Ballina connected except for the CBD complex at 70 River Street. “If you look at that map of Ballina, the tiny bit still not done is right here,” said Mr Taylor. “This complex very likely contains as many potential connections as anywhere in Ballina, and most could use a better internet connection.” The Boulevard is one of Ballina’s larger strata complexes with 27 units; tenants include a supermarket, multiple law practices, accounting firms, medical and dental specialists among other shops and businesses. “Sure, you’ve got a bakery and a

chicken shop who probably don’t need it, and a hairdresser that probably doesn’t care, but the rest would be quite internet-dependent I would think,” he added. Mr Taylor said that much like medical imaging data, sleep-study data required a huge bandwidth to be successfully transmitted. He has been struggling with a degraded ADSL2 connection, backed up with mobile technology. “That has made it a little bit quicker but it’s only unusable for the smallest files and the ADSL is getting worse,” he said. “If we send a big file for example, our (internet-based) landline phones become unusable. “We’ve spent good money to only make it slightly better, but the NBN would solve everything. “I really feel NBN Co should be taken to task and address this now as a matter of urgency.”

CLUB MARCONI MERGER NOT GUARANTEED Lismore’s iconic Italo Club is set to re-open by the end of July according to Club President Americo Melchior. Speaking to The Northern Rivers Times, Mr Melchior also said that the proposed merger with Sydney’s Club Marconi was also looking promising. “Annoyingly the merger could be 2 months away” he said. Addressing the re-opening, Mr elchior said that an out-pouring of support for the Club following the June 30 story on The Northern River Times’ Facebook page had convinced the Club to look at re-opening in about 2 weeks. “We have volunteers “roaring to go”, the phone is ringing off the hook with patrons wanting a return to our great meal deal’s”, he said. “There is also the practical issue that our Poker Machines have to be turned on and operated otherwise our licence is at risk” he said. This development followed on from last weeks visit to Lismore by the CEO of Club Marconi, Mr Tony Zappia. The meeting in Lismore was held at the office of local businessman and community activist, Andrew Gordon. “Andrew did a great job pulling together a lot of valuations and property

information that Club Marconi required” Mr Melchior said. According to Mr Melchior, Club Marconi had a checklist of items. “I worked all week to get together everything they needed” he said. Mr Melchior believes that there are no problems with the proposed merger now moving forward. The frustrating thing, according to Mr Melchior is that Club Marconi must give 21 days’ notice to their members to seek approval to the merger and following that meeting, the Italo Club must do the same with their members. “It is exciting days for the Italo Club, and I am certain that this deal will get over the line” Mr Melchior concluded. Speaking to The Northern Rivers Times, the President of Club Marconi, prominent Sydney businessman Vince Foti confirmed that his Board was now able to consider the matter. “We have a meeting coming up to consider the merger” he said. The CEO of Club Marconi was more reserved in his statement saying that “our Board is undertaking a due diligence process with the Club’s auditors and assessing the effects of COVID on Clubs”. Nothing would be certain until “our Board meets at the end of the month” he concluded.

FOUR PLEAD GUILTY TO DRUG SUPPLY CHARGES

MORE COUNCIL PLANNING PROCESSES AVAILABLE ONLINE From 1 August, even more planning services will be available online. Adam Cameron, Manager of Environment, Development and Strategic Planning said, “Following on from our initial move to accept Development Applications (DA) online in July 2019, we are making planning processes easier, quicker and more efficient via the NSW Planning Portal.” “From August additional online

were implicated in a drug supply ring police uncovered during an investigation into the deaths of two bikers in a car crash near Halfway Creek in 2018. Jason Wayne O’Driscoll, 40, Aaron Raymond Godwin, 39, Gregory John Reilly, 46 and Tyson Stoker, 24, were all co-accused of the drug supply ring, services will include Construction Certificates, Subdivision Certificates, Principal Certifier Appointment and Occupation Certificates,” said Mr Cameron. This is in addition to the current online services: Development Applications (DAs), Complying Development Certificates, Section 4.55 Modifications and Division 8.2 Reviews. There has been a significant increase in the value of DAs being processed by Clarence Valley Council. In 2019/20, 722 DAs were processed with a value of $163 million. That’s an increase of $40.5 million on the previous year.

and between them face more than 100 supply prohibited drug charges. A fifth man, Michael Looker who was due to appear, told the Court he had a fever and was refused entry. Appearing before Magistrate Michael Dakin in Grafton Local Court on Tuesday, all four confirmed guilty pleas to multiple

charges of supply prohibited drug between indictable and commercial quantities. O’Driscoll, Godwin and Stoker also pleaded guilty to supply prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis. Godwin also entered a plea of not guilty to an unrelated matter of aggravated break and enter to commit

a serious indictable offence. Late in 2018 Coffs Clarence Police District set up Strike Force Kiowa to investigate the death of two people in a fatal crash near Halfway Creek, south of Grafton. They charged 35-year-old James Kevin Cook with two counts of murder in 2019 when they found a

small pistol, which was allegedly involved in the crash on the Pacific Highway between Glenugie and Halfway Creek. While investigating the deaths of the two bikies, police alleged they had identified a significant drug supply syndicate in the Grafton and South Grafton areas. After a series of synchronised raids at about 8.30am on August 8 last year, on homes in Grafton, South Grafton and Halfway Creek, which allegedly resulted in the seizure methylamphetamine, cannabis, cash and weapons, officers arrested O’Driscoll, Godwin, Stoker, Reilly and Mr Looker. O’Driscoll, Godwin, Stoker and Reilly will appear in Grafton Local Court on August 17 for sentencing. Mr Dakin set a trial date of August 12 for Godwin’s charge and Mr Looker will next appear in Grafton Local Court on August 4.

NEXT STAGE OF THE JETTY

FORESHORES PROJECT

An allocation of $1.38m in funds from the Australian Government has been earmarked by Coffs Harbour City Council for the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden Glasshouse Project and the next stage of the Jetty Foreshores Project. The money has come

from the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, part of the country’s COVID-19 economic stimulus recovery plan. “The funding is available for use only on the enhancement of existing, or the creation of new Council infrastructure which

thenorthernriverstimes.com.au

has a direct community benefit,” said Mick Raby, Council’s Director Sustainable Infrastructure. “We looked at Council’s list of priority projects and the Botanic Garden Glasshouse and the carpark component of the Jetty Foreshores Project were the best fits within the grants criteria and timescale.” The allocation of the available funds will be: • Jetty Foreshores Stage 5 Carpark Project – $600,000; and • North Coast Regional Botanic Garden Glasshouse Project – $782,096. In May 2020, the Australian Government announced a new $500m Local Roads

and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI Program) to support local councils nationally to deliver priority local road and community infrastructure projects to help stimulate local economies and communities bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government used a funding allocation method that is similar to the way it shares funds for the annual Roads to Recovery Program and the road component of the Financial Assistance Grants. This formula takes into consideration road lengths and population – hence Coffs Harbour’s allocation of $1.38m.

Original NAIDOC Week a chance to reflect on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health The National Rural Health Alliance, the peak body for rural health in Australia, acknowledged the original dates for NAIDOC Week, which was to run from 5-12 July 2020 but has been postponed due to COVID-19. “We support the decision to postpone NAIDOC Week because it’s the right thing to do to try and stop the spread of COVID-19,” said CEO Dr Gabrielle O’Kane. “This week though gives us the chance to reflect on not just the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but also on the significant work still to be done to reduce racism, improve

health outcomes and create a health care system that is culturally safe for all. “The recent new Closing the Gap targets highlight just how difficult this job is, but we mustn’t give up. “This includes improving access to health care in remote areas, where many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people live, but also a real commitment to addressing the social determinants of health. The Alliance repeated its call for a serious commitment by National Cabinet to addressing racism as a way to improving health outcomes. “Structural racism and racial prejudice

have a clear impact on the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and we need all levels of government to acknowledge and address this. “During the original NAIDOC Week dates, we also want to highlight the need to improve the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals. “This is an important part of creating a culturally safe health system that provides appropriate care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.” NAIDOC Week will now be held from 8-15 November 2020.

LIONS ROAD STATELINE GATE REMAINING CLOSED

BY HALDEN BOYD WHILE the Queensland Government has reduced border restrictions for people entering from New South Wales Queensland Police that the Lions Road / Running Creek Road crossing will remain closed. Access to Queensland is only available via Summerland Way at Mount Lindesay. The Lions Road has a long history of community

commitment. In 1969, the NSW government rejected calls for a shortcut to link the communities of Kyogle in northern NSW and Rathdowney in southern Queensland. That’s when the Kyogle and Beaudesert Lions clubs stepped in and decided to use the expertise of members and their community to build their own road up and over the craggy McPherson Range via Richmond Gap. They’re still

maintaining the road with help from governments and private business, and there is a donation box at the border, which grateful motorists patronise. Several years ago the final gravel sections were sealed to a full tarmac surface, although it is patchy and often in need of repair from water damage, especially where it weaves its way through stunning rainforest through the Richmond Gap.

BRAVERY AWARD WINNER FOUND GUILTY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY TIM HOWARD A YAMBA man whose heroic swim for help from a sinking fishing trawler attracted a double bravery award, has been found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and will be sentenced later this month. Michael Patrick Williams, 52, was found to have sexual assaulted a woman while she was under the influence of alcohol at a home near Pippi Beach, Yamba, in June 2018. Judge Jonathon Priestley found Williams had raped the woman, then aged 28, at Yamba in June 2018. Court documents showed the woman had come to address at the invitation of a friend and had consumed four margaritas and three tequilas upon arriving. She continued drinking

and her last memory is lying with her head in the lap of another guest. Then she said she woke to find Williams lying beside her on a couch in the home pulling down her jeans. Despite her pleas for him to stop, Williams continued the assault, committing sexual acts while knowing his victim was not consenting to them. The woman reported the assaults to police two weeks later. Police took a DNA sample from the victim’s underwear which was a match for Williams. He pleaded not guilty to all charges In documents submitted to the court he said he had posttraumatic stress disorder, which caused a sexual dysfunction which would

have made it impossible to carry out the assault with which he was accused. Williams’ actions following the sinking of the fishing trawler the Sea Rogue off Byron Bay in 2008 had made him an international figure. Despite his swim to shore for help, Sea Rogue captain Alan Picton, drowned. Williams will appear for sentence at Coffs Harbour District Court on July 21.

RAPPVILLE’S THEO SCHOLL IS A YOUNG MAN ON A BIG LIFE BY HALDEN BOYD

HEN YOU meet Theo Scholl from Rappville you immediately know that the young man has set the bar very high with his aims and goals in life. And to prove that point Theo took out the new school-based Trainee Of the Year title at the North Coast and Mid North Coast Region NSW Training Awards. Theo took this in his stride, and played down that he has progressed to the State Trainee Of the Year Wards which will be announced in September.

“I was so shocked and humbled”, Theo said spending time to sit down and talk about his life and goals with The Northern Rivers Times, “but my main focus at the moment is finishing off my Higher School Certificate”, he said. As well as his school studies Theo is in his final year of a two year school-based traineeship in storekeeping under Richmond Valley Council’s award-winning Youth Employment Strategy, or YES. As a community leader and one of the area’s biggest employers Richmond Valley

Council introduced YES in response to the emerging issue of the lack of job opportunities in the community, as well as the need to future-proof its own workforce. YES has been highly successful, with Richmond Valley Council having offered 70 local young people employment contracts over the past six years through professional scholarships, full-time apprenticeships and traineeships, and schoolbased traineeships. “The YES programme is brilliant and I love working with RVC as a storeman, and there

NEW MANAGEMENT

MAKES A SPLASH BY CLAIR MORTON GROWING up in Casino with avid swimmers for parents, Shannon Comerford felt like he spent his whole childhood at the local pool. But it’s safe to say he never thought he’d one day be running it. Shannon and his wife Sue are the new faces behind the management of Richmond Valley Council’s public pools at Casino, Coraki, Woodburn and Evans Head, having dived into the role at the start of July. With a previous career in the construction

industry, public pool management is a departure from the norm for Shannon, but he said both he and Sue were excited about the prospects it held for them. “I’ve always been strongly involved with the Casino Swimming Club – mum and dad are life members so when I was a child, I spent my whole life at the pool, and now my own kids are doing the same thing,” he said. “I started coaching swimming a few years ago and it’s just taken a direction of its own. We saw this opportunity arise and started contacting people about whether it would be a

suitable job for us. “It’s a big career change but an exciting one.” There are a few other exciting changes in the works at the pools, with a 24-hour gym expected to open at the Evans Head Aquatic Centre in less than a month. Significant upgrades to the Casino Memorial Pool have also been flagged for the next two years. “It’s a very exciting prospect for Casino,” Shannon said. “We’re hoping to provide a fun and safe environment for all the regions of Richmond Valley Council… and looking forward to meeting all the locals

that will come through the gates.” Outgoing managers Joane and Mike Freney, who were involved in the public swimming pool business for about three decades, said they were proud to have

successfully fulfilled their 10-year contract with Richmond Valley Council. “Whilst operating, managing and maintaining one public swimming pool is a big task and responsibility;

multiplying that by four has been a huge stretch and challenge,” Ms Freney said. “Our family took on this challenge and we gave 100 per cent of our aquatic industry and business expertise.”

Clarence Valley Council has compiled a 10-question survey which it has encouraged staff to complete and pass onto family and friends. The council’s waste and sustainability co-ordinator Ken Wilson said council had pursued a strategy of reducing its carbon footprint for the past two years. He said the council in association with the NSW Government Sustainable Councils

and Communities Program wanted to develop a Clarence Valley community climate action strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “We’ve installed a heap of solar panels and put in LED lighting our street lighting and office buildings,” he said. “When the council voted to recognise, we’re in a climate emergency it pushed forward what we’re doing. “If we want to

make a meaningful reduction in the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our area, we have to take a lead in encouraging the community to develop strategies that will take it way beyond what we can achieve by ourselves.” Mr Wilson said the council was looking to make further changes to its operations to reduce carbon emissions, such as including hybrid vehicles in its fleet He said council was

critical organisation in leading the wider community reduce carbon emissions and achieve the global goal of minimising the longer-term impacts of climate change. “The initial community engagement we are undertaking is a short survey to ascertain community views on climate change, emission targets, actions that can be taken and how council can help motivate action “Mr Wilson said.

“The next step is to hold meetings with local business people and the community to discuss the ideas raised in the strategies.” He said the survey had been sent council staff, who have been encouraged to share it with family and friends. On Friday afternoon 23 people had taken the survey. It is available on the council’s website at https://www. clarenceconversations. com.au/100-renewablesproject/

of sources and had given her the means to help those in need without the often-criticised funding criteria attached to some government grants. “I’m able to listen to the residents, I mix with them in the social club and through the school, so you get to know how people are doing,” she said, adding that many were too proud to seek assistance. “No one is playing victim here, we’re

NEW South Wales Health is offering a special service to families who have children and young people with special health care needs a new service on the North Coast. The Out-of-HomeCare programme is offering them help in co-ordinating services to meet their kids’ special and sometimes complex health needs. Children and young people in out of home care (OOHC) often have high and unmet health needs, and are more disadvantaged and vulnerable than other children. NSW Health provides coordinated health assessments and intervention for children and young people entering statutory OOHC who are expected to remain in care for longer

than 90 days. The programme also targets young people aged 15-17 years who are expected to leave care within the next year. The programme supports earlier identification of health and wellbeing issues for children and young people in OOHC, providing timely intervention when required. The aim is to improve the short and long-term health, development and wellbeing outcomes for children and young people in OOHC, as well as support carers and placement stability. GPs on the Mid North Coast and in Northern NSW provide an integral contribution to the programme by providing an initial primary health assessment and initiating a referral to a paediatrician

COUNCIL CHARGES COMMUNITY TO DO THE RIGHT THING WITH OLD BATTERIES

batteries are one of the biggest threats to the environment as we grow more and more reliant on electronic devices for communication, and even buying commodities on the internet which are in many cases not locally available. The increasing global demand for batteries is largely due to the rapid increase in portable power-consuming products such as cellular phones and video cameras, toys and laptop computers. And even the products which use battery energy, also called E-Waste, are also becoming a headache in landfills because of their toxic afterlife.

Each year consumers dispose of billions of batteries, all containing toxic or corrosive materials. Some batteries contain highly toxic metals such as cadmium and mercury, lead and lithium, which become hazardous waste and pose threats to health and the environment if improperly disposed.

WALLY BRIDLE RETIRES FROM SES BY TIM HOWARD or nearly nine years SES units in the Clarence Valley have known they had a go-to man in their versatile controller Wally Bridle. On June 29 after taking control of SES units in Grafton, Ulmarra, Lawrence and Brushgrove, he has decided to call it quits and then take his wife, Charmayne, to hit the road in their caravan for some well-earned rest and recreation. The former barman’s life-changing experiences caring for terminally ill family members led him to look around for something a bit more fulfilling. And to the doors of the Grafton SES unit in 2009. “My father in law was terminally ill and

his wife could not provide the care for him he needed, like moving him around,” he said. “I could provide the muscle to get him from place to place. “He died, then later she was going through the same thing.” Following his mother in law’s death Wally turned to Meals on Wheels in Grafton as an outlet for his need to do something to help. “I went to Meals on Wheels to start with, but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for and soon I found myself at the Grafton SES,” he said. Wally and the SES were meant for each other. “I had only been there three months when the commander

left,” he said. “I put my hand up to volunteer as a replacement and to my surprise the unit said yes.” In eight years with the Grafton unit Wally’s energy and initiative almost tripled it from 18 members to 48. He also oversaw a radical increase in the amount and variety of training provided to members. “We used to have one trainer when I started at Grafton. By the time I moved, we had six,” he said. The SES recognised his ability to build up units and two and a half years ago asked him if he would like to take control of another unit struggling for numbers. “They asked if I would like to over as

hree and a half years ago Heather and Carlos thought it would be pleasant to have a venture together, so they bought the existing Night Owl Convenience store in Lismore. Just like your traditional corner shop, but in the heart of town with extended trading hours, every day. (Night Owl is a small franchise owned by Adam Adams and family, residing in Cairns, Nth Qld. Each shop while purposing

the Night Owl brand, is individual and focused on their locality). After surveying customers and together with community awareness that comes from living here (over 25years) the shop carried products ‘convenient’ for most people…… Before they could launch a ‘new owner celebration’ and the little shop full to overflowing with goods for a busy Easter period, the 2017 flood struck. Drowning most of their equipment,

much stock and frivolous joy. With hard work and long hours by many friends, family, and associates; (all heroes, with an immense commitment to our community) Night Owl was back trading in a week. The stock was delivered to their domicile and ferried into the shop in cars. The borrowed pie warmer (from Coffee Camp Primary School) stood proudly on a trestle table and was a ‘life saver’ for

many. With heartfelt thanks from crowd funding and regular customers, slowly Carlos and Heather have been able to replace most equipment lost during the disaster. Embracing environment friendly practices and aiding in reducing landfill where possible. Night Owl Lismore has installed recycling programs and provide compostable straws, paper bags and recycled boxes for customers. Carlos and Heather are immensely proud supporters of Boomerang Bags. Then along comes Covid times…quickly adapting to the rapid change of how to interact, keep germ minimum and service the changing needs of their neighborhood and customers. Moving along with a wonderfully dedicated and friendly team, long hours, and diligence, they present a tidy treasure trove. An extended pantry in the CBD! Striving to cater to your needs, they are

committed to making your day easier and just that little bit happier. Night Owl carries a vast array of drinks, groceries, hot food, espresso, sweeties, and ice cream (including delish, vegan CoYo). Hot food includes Pizza’s and rolls, made daily on the premises using Australian/ local products as much as possible. Stock includes many local and Australian owned products…… Australian Pepper (SevGen) Beez Needz and Blue Kitchen Honey Cards by Rachel Lowenstein Happy Chooks, Free Range Eggs Koala Tea Norco Simply Clean Willow Tree Goat Milk Soap Due to reduced evening traffic we are open from: 6am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday 8am to 10pm, Sunday (a little sleep in!)

The following is in Google Business ‘NightOwl Lismore is a family run convenience store that offers the best deals in the CBD. Located in Woodlark St this little store is big on service, value, and the best snacks under $6. Open 7 Days a week. We have hot food all day and night, including pizzas, pies, sandwiches and much more.

Ballina Hospital Auxiliary

We are a small cog in the wheel of the NSW United Hospital Auxiliary Inc. of which there are approximately 190 branches in NSW. Our branch at Ballina started in 1936 from what was originally the Hospital Guild which began in 1930. Originally the ladies then helped the hospital by mending the linen and it was in 1936 that the Auxiliary was formed to raise funds for the hospital by purchasing items of comfort. We have just passed our 84th anniversary but due to the present pandemic we have been unable to pursue our objectives so far this year. We normally manage to raise funds in excess of $100,000 per year which enables us to fulfil a Wish List given to us by the hospital for items of comfort and for essential equipment that they would not otherwise receive. In the past few years we have purchased a special scanner for the ED department, several monitors which are essential for

17 observing the ill patient, wheelchairs, bedside tables, equipment for the Renal Dialysis Unit, extra low beds for the elderly, a bariatric scales and special wheel chair scales. we have also purchased a set of weights essential for the Physiotherapy Department for the rehabilitation of their patients. In 2018 we also helped with buying plants and furniture for the sensory garden which can be accessed by the Palliative Care rooms which we totally refurbished a few years ago. We have around 60 members. Our members raise funds by making craft items which we then sell at our stalls and in the hospital Kiosk which we man on a weekly basis. We also have monthly cake stalls at the hospital, and these are extremely popular with the staff, patients and visitors. Every item that we make whether it be craft items or cakes is totally given by ourselves with no monetary help expected. Our biggest annual fund raiser which unfortunately had to be cancelled this year; is the 2-day Craft Show,

normally held in June every year at the Ballina Jockey Club. In 2019 we raised $18,000 so we are hoping that next year will be a bigger and better show. We have been informed by our Head Office that we should be able to resume our activities very soon but there has to be a directive issued by the hospital to keep our members safe and well, which is a priority. We have all been making numerous items during our enforced lockdown and will look forward to selling some of these lovely items very soon. Our branch normally meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 1.30pm, in the Solarium at the Hospital, excepting November, December and January. It is hoped that these will recommence very soon. For further information contact our President: Meg Gordon on 0417992722 or email: Meg11634@gmail. com Or our Secretary: Christine Penn on 0427807135 or email: Ballina.uha. secretary@gmail.com

Some years ago, I bought some silver ingots from a local dealer. I paid $15 an ingot. What are these worth today? Thank you, Simon

Hi Simon, There is a reason that you should only buy silver and precious metals from a reputable dealer with years of experience. And that is because of fakes!! Sadly, your ingot is a replica. The giveaway is the word “ounces”. On a genuine ingot the word is “ounce”. Fake silver ingots bearing the APMEX name are a major scourge on the collector’s market and a minefield for honest people.

A real silver ingot would be worth around $28. Your ingot is made of copper with a silver coating. It has a novelty value of $5 in a retail shop. The scrap metal price would be less than $1. See you next week John The Penny Man

Grafton’s captivating history

Correctional services across three centuries and counting

The old Grafton jail entry is much the same as it was when it was constructed in 1893, the building’s heritage deemed to be of significant importance

The eastern wall of the Grafton Jail which sits on a main thoroughfare of the city BY LESLEY APPS

S THE first city on the North Coast, Grafton boasted many firsts for the region and the state outside the metropolitan areas. Its relationship with correctional services goes back to the mid19th century, the first prison located in the central business district near the Clarence River, next door to historic court house which still operates today. Due to crowding, its flood-prone location and disease, a new impressive facility was built north of the city on what was then its rural outskirts. Rather than appointing the government architect of the time, the building’s design was decided through a public competition, the

winning entry by Sydney architect Henry Austin Wilshire, testament to current Colonial trends, a fortress-style facade with elaborate gatehouse entry. The year was 1893. As residential neighbourhoods sprung up over the decades, that commanding piece of architecture soon found itself in the ‘burbs’. Today the old Grafton Jail, as the locals refer to it, is surrounded by mix of post-war brick and weatherboard houses and the base hospital. It remains one of the Jacaranda City’s landmark heritage buildings, and is experiencing a resurgence of renewed interest from imaginative locals offering myriad fantasies about what to do with it now it is free of its prison shackles.

As a Clarence Valley kid, you would often pass that looming brick wall in the family car. If you stuck your head out the window and looked up you could see men standing in their towers, weapons slung over their shoulders just in case someone behind the wall decided to get plucky. As we passed by, I imagined what was happening on the other side of it and what it must be like living across the road in its shadow. When Raymond John Denning escaped from Grafton jail in 1980 by hiding in prison garbage, I knew in my 11-yearold mind that he was going to end up at our house in Maclean. That evening I locked all the doors, an unusual thing to do back then, and turned the patio light on

to deter him. He was the first prisoner to break out of the maximum facility they’d deemed ‘Alcatraz’ and our backyard was as good as place than any to hide in. Thankfully Denning didn’t turn up that night or any other over the next 20 months while he was on the run taunting police with his random appearances in the media to campaign for prisoner reform. The law eventually caught up with him in North Sydney and he was sent to Goulburn to live out his next chapter behind bars. The persistent escapologist also broke out of there in 1988. Denning’s infamy was one of the ways I later learned what did go on behind that not so great wall of Grafton. During that period of time Grafton Jail had

thenorthernriverstimes.com.au

been described as a place of “institutionalised evil” where prisoners deemed intractable (hard to control) were sent to learn their lessons the good old-fashioned hard way. Much like its architecture, Grafton’s maximin security facility was said to be a relic of Australia’s 19th century. Inmates underwent what was described as reception biff, a welcome to Grafton-style beating whose in-house legend earned the nickname “Jacaranda Festival”. Then, for the duration of your stay, beatings were routine and indiscriminate. Denning was a favourite target and diarised the constant physical abuse and humiliation he endured at Grafton. These diaries were later circulated and published as part of the

push to have Grafton’s particularly savage prison culture shut down. Former armed robber turned journalist Bernie Matthews also spilled the beans on life inside Grafton Jail in his book Intractable. He recalled the violent beatings he received on his arrival there in 1969, the then teenage adult sent there to serve 10 years for his crimes. According to Matthews, when the guards were tired of the physical abuse, they turned their skill set to psychological torture and humiliation like serving up breakfasts bowls of porridge that moved — courtesy of writhing maggots. What was happening in Grafton was taken seriously enough to warrant a Royal Commission in 1976-

1978 and the findings of Justice John Nagle speak for themselves. “It is the view of the Commission that every prison officer who served at Grafton during the time it was used as a gaol for intractable must have known of its brutal regime. The majority of them, if not all, would have taken part in the illegal assaults on prisoners. “In some instances, the beatings began even before the security belt and handcuffs were removed. The beatings were usually administered by three or four officers wielding rubber batons. The prisoner was taken into a yard, ordered to strip, searched, and then the biff began. “ The word biff by no means describes the brutal beating which ensued. A former prison officer, Mr J.J. Pettit, described it: sometimes three, four or five of them would assault the prisoner with their batons to a condition of semi-consciousness. “On occasions the prisoner urinates, and his nervous system

ceases to function normally’. If most of the prisoners are to be believed, the officers had no compunction about beating them around their backs and heads; nor were they averse to kicking them when they were on the ground. “They invariably abused them while they were hitting them, calling them ‘bastards’,

Little could I imagine back then, the modernday warfare playing out in Hoof Street Grafton on the other side of that wall. Nor could the married couples strolling by with their dogs or kids riding their bikes back and forth to the corner store I suspect. A slice of dystopia that still hides amongst the pomp and ceremony of the

baton acupuncture of those decades, although the popularity of prison-based dramas like Wentworth and Orange is the New Black continue to harness our desire and fascination for what life must be like inside. Grafton Jail was eventually overhauled in 1991 to serve as a periodic detention before

Of course, this was down to job loss not so much the desire to keep our prison record intact. It continued to function as a custodial correctional centre until recently. Which brings us to Grafton’s latest but unwritten chapter in its long relationship with correctional services. It was no surprise the city was earmarked

as a suitable location to herald a new era in prisoner reform. Grafton is now home to Australia’s

largest contemporary correctional facility, bigger than 180 football fields according to the corporate literature. While the mega-prison as it has been touted it is technically tucked 13km away in rural bushland setting outside of the CBD, the 1700-bed, government-funded, privately-run Clarence Correctional Centre is gearing up to be the poster child of reform in this modern era of prisons. The infrastructure, language and culture have changed, and its hard-core approach replaced with a mantra of reducing recidivism (reoffending). With the new era of Denning’s, Mad Dog Coxs and the overrepresentation of the indigenous population arriving as you read this, time will tell just how effective a privately-run modern guinea pig of reform will be. The walls may be less confronting this time around, but they all eventually talk. Let’s hope the next conversation will be a better one.

In February 2019, the site was devastated by bushfire and since then, emerging flammable weeds, specifically African Lovegrass has moved in, increasing risk of further fires in the future. With financial assistance from the WIRES Landcare Australia Wildlife Relief and Recovery Grants, Steve and Granite Borders Landcare will work in partnership to conduct a weed control program aimed at protecting the habitat for quoll and other native flora and fauna. “The quoll in NSW is currently listed as vulnerable although they are endangered in other states and I bought this property with the sole purpose of protecting the species,’ Steve explained. “The firestorm that ripped through Quoll Headquarters did immense damage to the entire site and what has emerged since then is an abundance of invasive weed species, like African Lovegrass which threaten the natural diversity and balance of ecological communities. And they also prove a major flammable hazard in bushfire conditions. Steve added: “So working with Granite Borders Landcare to target these weeds will give the habitat a greater chance of survival and hopefully, mitigate the fire risk. And the funds from the WIRES Landcare Australia Wildlife Relief and Recovery Grants provide the resources to allow

us to protect habitat for wildlife. “While rehabilitation for impacted animals is vital, ultimately, if we don’t protect their home from the effects of climate change, there will be nowhere for them to go.” Both flora and fauna survey assessments will be carried out to compare the progress of recovery against the previous years to ensure activities are having a positive effect on wildlife. Launched in April 2020, the WIRES Landcare Australia Wildlife Relief and Recovery Grants is a pioneering alliance between two not-forprofits that have been part of the fabric of local communities for over 30 years. 64 environmental groups across the country will benefit from the landmark $1.1million grants partnership supporting recovery of wildlife habitats impacted by bushfire and drought.

Allied health professionals represent more than a quarter of the health workforce. “But there is much more work to be done to address barriers to recruitment and retention of allied health professionals in rural, regional and remote Australia.

ISMORE’S eloquent WWI memorial next to Lismore Showground has been welcomed to the west coast as part of the National ANZAC Centre’s ‘multimedia experience’ in Albany. Getting projections of Lismore’s Great War Memorial included in the tribute has been a dream of RSL life member, Ken Jolley’s, since he visited Albany last October for a reunion with his army mates. “I saw the memorials at the National ANZAC Centre last year and wondered, ‘why not bloody Lismore?’,” he said. Mr Jolley, who is a life member of the RSL City of

Lismore (NSW) Sub-Branch, said it simply wouldn’t have happened without the help of the state member for Lismore, Janelle Saffin. “Janelle did all the hard work getting the approvals and permissions to put our memorial in the Albany display,” he said. “I approached her for some help, and I cannot thank her, and her staffer Ronny Susanto, enough for arranging to have our North Lismore memorial permanently added to the projection reel which is seen by thousands of visitors every year. “It’s the icing on the cake; I’ve been working for the past three years to

restore the memorial and the fact that North Lismore now sits between two New Zealand memorials, Kaitaia and Wellington, is marvellous recognition for our fallen Diggers and for the City of Lismore.” Mr Jolley thanked local businesses for supporting the memorial’s restoration, including Richmond Sand and Gravel, Beckinsales Monumental Masons, Matthews Metal Fabrication, Holcim Concrete, OneSteel and Twin View Turf, and Lismore City Council’s outdoor staff. The memorial was moved from near the Showgrounds to the South Lismore RSL

Hall’s garden in 1988, but when the RSL sold the hall in 2004, it was moved to the Railway Station before returning to North Lismore in 2017. Ms Saffin joined Vietnam Veteran, Ken Jolley OAM, and other veterans to mark the memorial’s exposure on the other side of the continent and the culmination of Mr Jolley’s three-year long labour of love in having it restored to its former glory. She said the obelisk – first erected on the corner of Bridge Street and Alexander Parade, North Lismore, in 1926 – honours 145 Lismore district men who sacrificed their lives during WWI and holds special

significance for their family descendants. “In 2017, the memorial was returned ‘home’ to its original site after two previous moves around town, and its close proximity to the Lismore Showground is fitting because it was the site of a transit camp for newly-enlisted men,” Ms Saffin said. “Young men from all different backgrounds answered the nation’s call to fight for king and country and camped at the showground before boarding trains at the North Lismore Railway Station to take them to Army training camps. “The National ANZAC Centre is located in Albany,

where our servicemen and women disembarked on ships bound for Gallipoli and other battlefields during World War One.” • Pic emailed this morning • Caption: State Member for Lismore, Janelle Saffin (foreground), joins veterans (l to r), Cecil Harris (Vietnam), Bob Mowle (Sino peacekeeper), Pat Steele (Timor Leste, Iraq, Afghanistan) and Ken Jolley (Vietnam, Timor Leste) at Lismore’s Great War Memorial in North Lismore to celebrate the monument’s inclusion in the renowned multimedia tribute at Albany, Western Australia.

A PUB in the Tweed and another in Ballina have been accused of illegally supplying Pokie players with free alcohol in a bid to keep them gambling for longer. Liquor and Gaming NSW has lodged a complaint against South Tweed Tavern at Tweed Heads South which is operated by the Woolworths-owned company ALH Group. A complaint has also been lodged against Westower Tavern at West Ballina which is also owned by ALH, with Liquor and Gaming alleging the practice at both venues was “systemic”.

It follows a state-wide investigation into ALH pubs after allegations that they were engaged in illegal practices to entice people to gamble for longer. The investigation was launched after former staff blew the lid on alleged practices at ALH venues. The companies have been accused of compiling personal details on gamblers, including drink choices, to try and prolong their gambling sessions. Liquor and Gaming NSW has looked into more than 50 licensed premises across NSW with four of those coming in for special scrutiny, including the

pubs at Tweed Heads South and West Ballina. The other two were Sydney hotels but there wasn’t enough evidence to push ahead with a formal complaint. The investigation included covert surveillance, coercive interviews of licensees, staff and other witnesses, review of CCTV, and examination of records and systems. The NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority is currently investigating the complaints. Penalties can include formal reprimands, or fines up to $110,000 and suspension or cancellation of licences.

WINTER LAWN CARE

potassium adding to the overall plant health and strength, helping it

Though many people work diligently to maintain a beautiful lawn during summer and Autumn, winter is commonly seen as an impossibility when it comes to keeping your lawn looking its best. However, we’re here to let you know that’s a total myth. While it is true that decreased amounts of sunlight and lower soil temperatures can affect the grass’ colouring, growth patterns and its ability to repair itself, winter lawn care doesn’t have to be a source of concern.

survive the cooler winter period. Foliar liquid fertilisers are also an advantage during winter, as tests have shown that foliar feeding can be up to 8 to 10 times more effective than soil feeding. Also keep in mind that cool season grasses like Perennial Rye Grass (PRG) can be used successfully for over sowing in warm season Couch grass. Solid tyne aerating in winter is a perfect time to release compaction, as it aids in access for nutrients to reach the target root zone.

Winter Lawn Care Tips The good news - or unavoidable news, rather - is that many lawns will become dormant to semi dormant throughout winter months, making your lawn upkeep minimal. Due to lowered soil and air temperatures, watering can be reduced in winter months. Watering your lawn is best done in the morning, and you should avoid over watering, as it can promote fungal disease in your thatch layer and may result in additional frost damage. Generally speaking, soil remains moist during winter months, requiring less overall irrigation. This is also the perfect time for machine maintenance, as mowing requirements are lessened. In winter months, your main priorities are service and maintenance, and renovating procedures like scarifying and de-thatching are discouraged. The use of a slow release fertiliser with a good NPK (Nitrogen Phosphorus + Potassium) ratio is integral to plant health during winter, with

Preparation More than anything else, the key to successful winter lawn care is all in the preparation. By setting your lawn up for success with all the tools it needs to survive the cooler temperatures, as well as using your spare time to ensure your equipment is in good working order and ready for growth season, you save yourself lots of time, effort and money down the line. In autumn, we recommend applying pre-emergent to prevent the onset of winter weeds, including varieties like bindii, oxalis clovers and wintergrass. Additionally, pruning any overhanging trees or shrubs will allow more sunlight to reach your lawn during winter’s shorter days, and mowing heights can be raised slightly to allow for heightened photosynthesis during the days. Finally, we recommend adding preemergent in late August to prevent the onset of spring and summer weeds.

WHAT VEGETABLES TO PLANT IN JULY IN NORTHERN NSW July in the Northern Rivers – Nights cool enough to snuggle under a doona for a toasty sleep, days warm, but mild enough to play in the sun without turning into Zoidberg. Perfect for getting out in the garden! While the cooler weather cuts down on the amount of veggies that will thrive, our subtropical climate still leaves us with heaps of options! Most veggies on the list below will be prime for planting for the next few months, but I’ve picked a few to that are perfectly in season right now to tell you about in more detail!

you are about to harvest. These will attract snails and slugs, because apparently they like black jellybeans. •Harvest 10-12 weeks after planting; 4-5 weeks after blanching

Garlic Garlic can be used as a delicious pungent seasoning or condiment, is linked to many health benefits relating to the heart and blood system, and is awesome for ruining first dates! •Garlic is grown by planting single cloves in the soil, pointy side up, about as deep as the length of the clove itself. •You can plant cloves from supermarket garlic, however it is strongly advised to purchase bulbs grown specifically •Beetroot to be replanted. This is •Jerusalem Artichoke because garlic grown for •Peas consumption is prone to •Cabbage (loose headed) viruses that accumulate •Kale and inhibit growth •Snow Peas (entirely harmless to •Carrots humans), where as garlic •Kohlrabi grown for replanting will •Radish be virus free. •Celeriac •Remove any flowers •Lettuce that form, as these will •Rocket •Celery steal the tasty tasty •Malabar Greens nutrients from your •Shallots garlic bulbs! •Chicory •Harvest your garlic •Mangle-wurzel after roughly 16 weeks. •Silverbeet The long shoots with •Endive start to turn yellow and •Mizuna brown, wither, and droop •Spinach towards the soil. This is •Florence Fennel a sure sign that it’s time •Mustard Greens to dig everything up and •Spring Onions have a garlic party! Florence Fennel Not to be confused with Florence Nightingale or Florence + the Machine, Florence Fennel’s bulb-like stem base has a flavour similar to aniseed. So basically this is the black jellybean of veggies – you’re either going to love it or hate it. It’s sweeter and more aromatic than common fennel (pfft, yea, like we all know what common fennel is...) •Blanching the stems will reduce bitterness – shade the stems with something like cardboard or trimmed ice cream container, once they have swollen to about the size of a golf ball. Don’t try hitting them with a golf club. That’s bad. •Remove any flower stems that appear before

Onion Onion is a great backup for ruining first dates if you don’t have any garlic handy. Onion is also famous for having layers, and making you cry (which may actually be able to save a date if you’re watching a sad movie and need to look all emotional). And now for an actual fact: Onions are 0.1% fat, which means they can contribute their flavour to dishes without raising the calorie count! Clever little things. •You will need to be patient when planting onion seeds – they can take up to three weeks to sprout! •Harvest your onions after around 20 weeks.

have been an atheist since birth….possibly genetic. Flirtations with Sunday school changed nothing. But it only took one weed to believe in Satan. Madeira vine…. nutgrass just confirmed it. I have seen Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia) innocently planted in a new feature

rain down from above and germinate just by sitting on top of the soil. You can sever a vine at its base but its aerial tubers can be viable for another 5 years. Despite all this they are the ‘easiest’ of the Satanic weeds to remove manually. You can spray (with surfactant), inject, cut and paint

bed, lovingly trained up a front verandah ….but take your eyes off it and it will consume an entire back yard, burying the clothesline, smothering its mature trees until the canopy collapses killing the trees. Like the corona virus, it sneaks under the radar and spreads crazily fast. This gentle succulentlike vine with pretty white flowers is actually a prolific, hard to control, voracious weed. It will grow a metre a week, grow through weed mat, develop stems as thick as your arm, roots the size of a large sweet potato and reproduce at an extraordinary rate. It can only reproduce from its thousands of tiny/huge aerial tubers. They grow all over its climbing stems, then

or sever and soak with Glyphosate but the hard slog of manual removal is still best and safest. It requires time and persistence…..and many a green bin, because half full is too heavy to move. The trick is to catch the vines before they ascend into the trees and form the aerial tubers that cause all the problems. Use drop sheets when pulling vines out of trees. Hunt down every last tuber in the soil. Work systematically removing vines, then all traces of tubers on and under the ground. Weed…. follow up follow up follow up. You will succeed.

CX-8 ADDS NEW OPTIONS TO LARGE MAZDA SUV RANGE

YOUR MOTORING NEWS attention alert; emergency stop signal; forward obstruction warning; lane departure warning; lane-keep assist; automatic high beam; rear parking sensors; rear cross traffic alert; reversing camera; roll stability control; automatic emergency braking; trailer stability assist; and traffic sign recognition.

Touring adds front parking sensors while GT and Asaki also get enhanced front lighting systems. INFOTAINMENT All CX-8s have an eight-inch MZD Connect colour touchscreen that’s clear and easy to us. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, missing originally, were added

in the latest upgrade. Satellite navigation is standard across the range as are the usual infotainment features. Mazda CX-8 GT and Asaki get a 273-Watt 10-speaker Premium Bose sound system. They also have third-row USB inputs. DRIVING We were able to drive

both the 2WD Sport petrol and AWD diesel Asaki models back-toback over a two-week period. Entry and exit is easy helped by rear with doors that can be opened to a full 90 degrees. The petrol engine is a step down from the turbocharged unit in the CX-9 turbo that we tested recently. It’s still

47 quite smooth and refined in most situations but does need a fair bit of urging when fast acceleration is required. As is to be expected the diesel CX-8 provides the extra grunt and does so with a minimum of turbo lag. We found the six-speed automatic transmission to be in the correct gear virtually all the time. In more sedate situations the diesel is relatively quiet at idle from the outside and barely discernible from the petrol. Inside the sound levels are nicely muted. The word ‘Sport’ is probably the most misused in the automobile industry and the CX-8 Sport models are certainly not sporty. No problem with the Touring name being used because that’s exactly where the CX-8 excels. Suspension and steering are designed for comfort and CX-8 handles safety and predictably. The AWD system uses Mazda’s Off-Road Traction Assist function to suppress tyre spin and

distribute the appropriate amount of torque to the wheels. As is often the way, Australia’s coarse-chip roads create a fair bit of noise. Anywhere else it’s peaceful and relaxing to sit in. During our week in the FWD petrol we averaged just over 10 litres per 100 kilometres, compared with the published 8.1 L/100km. We got closer to the factory tested 6.0 L/100 with the AWD diesel keeping it down into the low sevens. SUMMING UP Our initial reaction to the arrival of the Mazda CX-8 was ‘why?’ – after all the previous CX-7 had been deemed unnecessary given the success of the CX-5. But having spent a fortnight behind the wheel it now does make sense. It comes with two more seats than the CX-5; is smaller and more manageable than the CX-9; comes with the choice of petrol or diesel power. It even slips under the $40,000 price tag in it lowest priced model. Not really

of course but it is a very valuable marketing tool.

ROAD TEST

2020 MAZDA CX-8 REVIEW By ALISTAIR KENNEDY

azda has expanded its SUV range to five models with the new CX-8 filling the gap between the mid-sized CX-5 and large CX-9 previously occupied the discontinued CX-7. The other two models are the compact CX-3 and marginally larger CX-30. Launched here in mid-2018 the sevenseat CX-8 shares the same wheelbase as the CX-9 although it is slightly shorter and narrower while having the same width as the five-seat CX-5. Many components are unique to the CX-8. Interestingly, the CX-8 was initially only meant for the Japanese market but Mazda

Australia pushed hard for it to come here partly because it was available with a diesel engine, an option that wasn’t available in the CX-9 and so was seen to be restricting rural sales. That 2.2-litre turbodiesel remained the only power option until a 2.5-litre petrol was added at the start of this year. There are now eight models in the CX-8 range, two with petrol engine and six with diesels. The two petrol variants are only available with frontwheel drive and Sport or Touring equipment levels. The Sport and Touring diesel models are all-wheel drive only while the higher-specced

GT and Asaki variants come with the choice of either FWD or AWD. Prices range from $39,910 for the FWD Sport petrol through to $65,440 for the AWD Asaki diesel. On-road costs need to be added. STYLING CX-8 is easily recognisable as a Mazda SUV with the same design philosophy as its four stablemates including their slick lines and almost coupelike rear end. INTERIOR Like the larger CX-9 the ‘8 is a seven-seater but, having the same width as the five-seat CX-5, it’s relatively narrow inside and best

suited to a maximum of four adults and three children. Other dimensions are closer to the CX-9 meaning that there’s good legroom and comfortable headroom in all seats. Access to the third row seats in all models except the entry-level Sport is made easier courtesy of a one-touch walk-in switch added to the left and right seat cushion sides on the second row that fold the seatbacks. The centre seats can also slide forward to provide extra third row legroom. With all seats in place boot space is limited to just 209 litres, expanding to 742 litres with the third-row seats

thenorthernriverstimes.com.au

folded. The materials are high quality and contribute to a nice ambience to the interior of the CX-8 which augurs well for potential long-distance trips. There are also plenty of storage spaces throughout. Controls are logical and well-placed for a minimum of driver distraction from the road ahead. There are also climate controls in the second row seats. Mazda CX-8 GT and Asaki models come with a powered sunroof. ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The CX-8 diesels are powered by Mazda’s SkyActiv 2.2-litre fourcylinder turbocharged

engine. It produces up to 140 kW of power and an impressively high 450 Nm of torque, the latter available from 2000 rpm. Petrol power comes from the naturallyaspirated 2.5-litre four-cylinder 140 kW / 242 Nm unit that features in a number of other Mazda models, rather than the more powerful turbo-petrol 2.5 in the CX-9. All CX-8 models have a six-speed automatic transmission. SAFETY All CX-8 models have the high level of advanced safety equipment. These include blind spot monitoring; driver

taking place in 1975. Another 5-day rally was held in 1979 and in 1989 our club hosted the Combined Councils Easter Rally, with many visitors attending. A 5-day rally was planned for August, 2020 to celebrate our 60th birthday – unfortunately COVID intervened – and the rally has been postponed. The club over the

years has attended many rallies all over the country - In 1964 cars first visited Grafton for the Jacaranda Festival, regularly visiting Kankanya Rally in Brisbane, Tenterfield rallies were also memorable especially in freezing conditions, also longer distance rallies to North Queensland, Adelaide, Broken Hill and Tasmania and some of us in 1980 braved the climb up Mt Kosciuszko. Over the years our club has had many regular visitors to our annual rally.

Boasting 2 junior teams in the under 10s and under 16s competition, the club has a bright future and the juniors will commence after school holidays on the 24th July, with home games played on Fridays under lights at Stan Payne. The Men will kick off their 10-week season with a home game on the 25th July against The Kyogle Cockatoos, which is always a fiercely contested battle. All teams have recruited well, and Women’s team captain Julie Spoor believes there will be some “entertaining play to look forward to” as they look to use speed to their advantage thisyear.

Things are looking positive for the men’s team with assistant coach Connor Thornley stating“the men’s team has an excellent balance of youth and experience and can’t wait to get out on the paddock and show their supporters an exciting style of rugby.” The club would like to encourage the local community to get down and support our teams on Friday and Saturdays. The Bar and Canteen will be open for all home games, however there will be some social distancing measures and all spectators are encouraged to follow the guidelines which will be visible at the ground on home

ROUND ONE REVIEW Rangers Overcome Saints, Bombers held by Combative Tigers – Round One Review The CPL launched over the weekend with Port Saints hosting heavyweights Macleay Valley Rangers in an enthralling encounter at Findlay Park. Week One Review Feature Match Port Saints FC 1 def by Macleay Valley Rangers 2 The Rangers were rewarded for a stronger start to the match, their two goals in the opening hour enough to secure the points despite a strong finish from the Saints. The opening 15 minutes were equally matched, both sides relishing in the excitement of the launch of the new competition. Macleay edged their way in front, controlling possession and working a few half chances, before Tristan Smith tapped home the opener on the 30 minute mark, poaching at the back post after a well worked free-kick saw the ball ricochet off the back post into his path. Ten minutes into the second half, Sam Applegate doubled the Rangers lead with a spectacular 40m lob, catching Saints keeper off his line for the second of the match. The Saints showed great fight to work their way back into the match, and after several good chances brought the deficit back to one with a breakaway through the middle, after the Rangers had given the ball away in midfield. Despite a late surge, the Rangers held on to their first 3 points of the season. Rangers Coach Chris Walker was pleased with his sides performance, especially against a strong Saints outfit. “The Saints are always a tough team, they played well today. We had some good chances to seal the match but I was happy with our performance overall. We will only get better as we play more games, and this first result was an important one for the season.” Northern Storm FC 2 def Taree Wildcats 1 Northern Storm FC defeated the Wildcats 2-1 in just under one hour of football played. The match was abandoned close to the hour mark when a Wildcats’ player was injured on field, and due to the nature of the injury an ambulance had to tend to the player on the pitch. Therefore, the match official ended the match early for the safety of all players, with

JULY 16, 2020 Northern Storm winning the fixture 2-1. For an official explanation of this ruling, visit: A tough first outing for the Wildcats, but they made a great account of themselves in the opening hour of football and will be a team to watch in Round Two. Kempsey Saints 3 def. by Sawtell Scorpions 4 Kempsey Saints hosted Sawtell Scorpions at Eden Park. Kempsey led Sawtell for the majority of the match, with the Scorpions clenching a quick two goal turnaround in the last 10 minutes of the game to secure all 3 points. Kemspey played a very physical game and took it to Sawtell early, leading 1-0 and then 2-1 at half time. Sawtell’s young team, probably the youngest in the competition, with an average age of 19, had the fitness to see out the match, and left it late to find an equaliser, and then the winner. Former NCF NPL striker Charlie Alderman scored two goals within 10 minutes to give the Scorpions the win. The first a free kick from the flank, which levelled the scores with five minutes remaining. Alderman then struck again in stoppage time, this time a deflected shot from outside of the box finding the back of the net. Sawtell Coach Jody Jenkins was impressed with his young sides determination. “We performed better than expected for such a young side. Kempsey were good, very physical side. This was our first form of non-contact football in months, so I was very pleased with the boys’ performance, especially against such a physical team. “The longer we go on the fitter we will get and the more confidence the youngsters will gain.” Coffs United Lions 2 def Port United 0 Coffs United Lions defeated Port United 2-0 at McLean Street Oval on Saturday Night. The Lions showed some real class throughout the match to overcome a strong Port outfit, though United coach Nathan Wade says his team were underdone heading into the game and have a lot more to give.

Feature Match

Boambee Bombers 1 draw Coffs Coast Tigers 1 The final match of Round One saw Coffs Coast Tigers travel to Ayrshire Park to take on Boambee FC in the

northern derby. For all the anticipation in the lead up the start of the season, the expectation was tapered somewhat due to the fitness levels and preparation time for all teams. Whilst it was evident across the board that all teams will improve with more game time, there was no lack of fight or determination, especially not with these two sides. Boambee FC met a determined Tigers outfit who were well organised in defence and showed some good patches throughout the match. Tigers opened the game well and had some half chances with good movement on both flanks. Tyh Murphy opened the scoring for the Bombers from a superb free kick in the opening half an hour. The Tigers responded immediately with great movement and energy on the ball. Just before half time this led to their equaliser, with a neat ball played in behind for James Palmer, who slotted home past the Bombers Keeper to level the scores. The second half was a different match for both sides. Boambee came out refreshed and finally started to look like the Premiership winning side they were 6 months ago. The Tigers required all of their defensive structure, and some good luck, to keep them out. Christian Penny was unlucky to see his bullet header rocket off the underside of the cross bar as the Bombers squandered several good chances toward the end of the match. Tigers coach Felipe Berrera was upbeat with his sides’ performance. “We sort of ran out of legs towards the end but the first three quarters of the match we played some really good football.” “It is early days for us but we had a game plan and I was happy with the performance”. Bombers coach Jon Fergusson said his side lacked urgency in the first half but played an improved second half. “We gave up too much in the first half and couldn’t finish in the 2nd. Football has small margins from 1 pt to 3 pts, on Sunday we were reminded of this.” Round Two of the Coastal Premier League kicks off this Saturday, and after some unexpected results in Round One, some exciting match-ups promise to entertain.

Last weekend saw the return of championship lawn bowls at the Yamba Bowling and Recreation Club for 2020 with the Major Pairs Championship concluded on Saturday, following an extended COVIC-19 delay, and round one of the Major Singles Championship contested on Sunday. In the semi-finals of the Major Pairs Championship, last year’s champions and State Finalists, Terry and Brad Johnson proved too consistent for Greg Dickman and Jim Johnson taking the match by 23 shots to six; while Steve ‘Scruffy’ Jackson and Peter Forrester had to show true championship character in their game against John McGovern and Richard Skippings taking the contest by 22 shots to 16 after trailing by 16 shots to 12 with four ends to play. The final appeared to be at the mercy of Terry and Brad and after thirteen ends this talented father and son combination led by fourteen shots to nine and appeared in control. However, Steve Jackson and Peter Forrester proved why they are considered two of the best bowlers in northern New South Wales by storming through the final ends of the contest to take the title, and the opportunity to progress through the Champion of Club Champion state final series, by 21 shots to 16. 2020 Yamba Major Pairs Champions: Steve

thenorthernriverstimes.com.au

‘Scruffy’ Jackson and Peter Forrester Round one of the 2020 Major Singles Championship was played on Sunday in great style. Graham Meany and Ian Parker unfortunately drew each other early in the championship and provided the crowd of spectators with an outstanding game of singles lawn bowls. After twenty-eight ends of play, Graham held a comprehensive six shot lead, 26 to 20, and looked to be well placed. However, Ian controlled the next eight ends of play to take the match by 31 shots to 26. In other results, Cliffe Vagg won a cliff-hanger against Ray Schafer by 31 shots to 30; Martyn Wood was too good on the day for Tony Abbott 28 shots to eight; Greg Johnson defeated Bill Andrews 31 to 18; Col Lindsay overcame a gallant John McGovern by 31 shots to 27; Bob Ballantyne dominated against Terry Johnson 31 shots to 12; John Luchetti took the match against Steve Cassidy by 31 to 26; and Steve Jackson scrapped home against Greg Dickman 31 to 22. However, the feature of the day was the upset recorded by Paul ’The Prince of Darkness’ Lozelle who staged an ambush over Alan Abbott to advance to round two with an impressive 31 shots to 27 victory built upon by a brilliant start to the game where ‘The Prince’ led by 18 shots to nine and subsequently forcing Alan to play catch-up bowls under testing conditions. Round two of the championship is scheduled for Saturday 25th July. The 2020 Major Triples Championships will be finalised in the coming weeks. The final between defending champions, Nev Hillyard, Terry Johnson and Brad Johnson and the well preformed trio of Allan Parker, Graham ‘Magic’ Meany and Peter Forrester is scheduled for Sunday 2nd August commencing at 1.00pm. A number of other club championships events are scheduled for the upcoming weeks including the Minor Pairs, Club Veteran Singles and ‘C’ Grade Singles. Nominations for these championships close on Wednesday 29th July at 4.30pm. Men’s social bowls will continue on Wednesday (pairs) and Friday (triples) afternoons. All games commence at 1.00pm and nominations can be made by telephoning the Bowls Office on 6646 8669 prior to 11.30am on the intended day of play. Wednesday 8 July: No play due to inclement weather

Friday 10 July: Winners: Doug Howat, Alan Reed and Ray Schafer Runners Up: Brian Kay, Bill Best and Bill Williams Encouragement: Barry Latham, Mark Bilton and Stuart Bell Clarence River District Bowling Association: Senior Pairs Championship The final of the CRDBA Senior Pairs Championship was decided last Saturday with two Yamba teams going head to head in their collective quest to gain district dominance. Bob Ballantyne and Trevor Bardsley were up against defending champions and 2019 State Finalists, Col Lindsay and Graham Meany in what promised to be a great game of lawn bowls. Bob and Trevor began well to establish an early six shot lead, but the pendulum of championship lawn bowls soon swung back towards Col and Graham and by the completion of the eleventh end the defending champions led by seven shots, 15 to eight. Again, the match took a twist with Bob and Trevor fighting back to a two-shot deficit, 15 to 17, with only five ends of the game remaining. As the script of the match would have it, and with Col and Graham looking assured of success holding a commanding six-shot advantage after the penultimate end, Bob and Trevor staged one final effort in search of a sixshot result to force an extra ‘sudden death’ end or even a miracle seven shot haul to take the match. However, after a desperate measure, Bob and Trevor scored five on the final end and conceded championship victory to Col Lindsay and Graham Meany by 23 shots to 22. 2020 CRDBA Senior Pairs Champions: Graham Meany and Col Lindsay The CRDBA Triples Championships will be completed on the weekend of Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August. The State Open division to be played at Iluka; the Senior division at South Grafton Ex-Services; and the President’s Reserves at Brooms Head.

BALLINA

Surfing’s heyday as a televised sport in Australia was back in the late 70’s and early 80’s but a new series has been just announced that will entice viewers with an innovative take on competitive surfing. It’s on free to air television and is touted to become the most watched since the Surfabout in 1978. Due to COVID-19 the usual format of surfing competition has been adapted to incorporate the required social distancing requirements, so rather than gather together they will surf in their own home towns. Eleven of Australia’s iconic competitive male surfers will open up old battle scars in a three

month, 13 consecutive episode TV series set to air on Channel Nine from 12 pm on Saturday the 8th August 2020. Two of the competitors are from the Northern Rivers with ex professional and top three ranked Danny Wills from Byron Bay and ex professional top ten ranked Josh Kerr from Tweed Heads. After years of competition, intense rivalries are formed. These guys have won pretty much everything with world titles, pipe masters, triple crowns & almost every event on the world tour circuit. Surfing Australia Studios and mySURFtv have used testing times in 2020 to create a way of reigniting the

competitive fire still burning within the eleven former World Tour surfers in their new series ‘RIVALS’. 3x World Champion Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Dean Morrison, Bede Durbidge, Josh Kerr, Danny Wills, Shaun Cansdell, Jay Thompson, Glen Hall, Kai Otton and Nathan Hedge have two hours at their ‘local’ wave to surf however they want, on as many waves as they want, with their best three rides to be scored by the public via online platform www.clippero.com and Olympic Surfing Head Judge Glen Elliott. For surf fans, all the memories will come flooding back of these

mighty competitors. The speed, style, power, innovation and aggression this group of surfing greats displayed in their heyday hasn’t gone anywhere. With a forty-five-day competition window, there will be no shortage of barrels, big turns and crazy moments. All contestants with the exception of Shaun Cansdell have already locked away their two-hour heats. “It’s funny, we talked about this for years when we were on tour, you know, how good it would be to have a two-hour heat and just surf the way you surf, rather than the thirty-minute heats we all were used to.” – Byron Bay’s Danny Wills.

thenorthernriverstimes.com.au

Each surfer has their own episode in the thirteen week series on Channel Nine, something the free to air broadcaster is excited about having never aired anything like the series before. “Nine and Wide World of Sports are thrilled to be continuing their association with Surfing Australia. RIVALS is an exciting and innovative concept and we look forward to bringing all the action to Surfing fans across the country.”- Brent Williams, Director of Sport - Wide World Of Sports Having travelled the world together, some for more than ten years, the group hadn’t lost any of their competitive drive.

Eoin Johnston Alstonville A WollongbarAlstonville Rugby team travelled to Mallanganee last Saturday to take on the reformed Richmond

Range Club in the first match of the Covid affected 2020 season. Although it was only a trial match a large crowd travelled from Wollongbar and along with the enthusiastic locals, they were treated to a great day of traditional country rugby. Former WAR player Alex Gibbon has been the catalyst for resurrecting the Range club and on yesterday’s performance, both on and off the field, their future looks bright. Alex has an impressive history in the sport,

having spent many years away playing first grade in Sydney, Super Rugby for the Queensland Reds and travelling the world as an integral member of the Australian Sevens squad. He recently

purchased property in the region and has been able to lure a mixture of youth and experience that showed enough on the weekend to prove

Legendary referee Graham Cook controlled the game well and it appeared that he enjoyed being back on the paddock as much as the sport starved players. To see the past players such as Bill Allen, Stuart Larsen and Joey Mohammed with their families amongst the crowd, enjoying a chat, a quality steak burger and a cold beer did wonders for all our collective mental health after what has been a horror twelve months on the land. And, then of course there was the game. I understand the visitors won by a narrow margin but frankly, the score, in all the circumstances, was not important.

The offshore fishing has been a little difficult during the last week, with some rough weather hampering efforts to get outside. On the couple of days when the weather has settled a little, we did see some reasonable quality snapper, trag and mulloway on the close reefs. Soft plastics in brighter colours have worked quite well, especially when teamed up with light jig heads around the ¼ oz or 3/8 oz. The good numbers of bream and luderick have continued to bite better during the run-in tides, but the larger night tides have certainly produced the better quality fish. The better baits to use for the bream have been green prawns and squid, while the luderick have shown plenty of interest in green weed and cabbage as usual. The flathead have been fairly slow due to the cooler conditions and small tides. The better numbers of fish seem to be concentrated between Wardell and Riley Hill. Till next week, tight lines!
