COVID-SAFE GRAFTON JACARANDA FESTIVAL GETS THE GO AHEAD continued from Page 1

By Lesley Apps AS Grafton’s famous jacaranda trees gear up to bring some much-needed brightness into our lives, so too will the town’s 87-year-old festival that honours the annual floral display.

Despite many major events not going ahead around the state, the Grafton Jacaranda Festival’s COVID-safe plan has been given the thumbs up after being reviewed by NSW Police.

Organisers of the popular floral festival have jumped through

many hoops to meet regulations so it can go ahead from October 29 to November 7, 2021.

While some events will not possible due to the pandemic, there is still plenty in store for people to enjoy including many regular highlights like the crowning ceremony, Retrofest, and the Jacaranda Ball.

Festival Manager Mark Blackadder said the Committee had been working hard to measure and gauge what would likely be possible to promote while the roadmap out of lockdown was still evolving.

“We’ve had to straddle

the need to continue the Festival and provide arts and entertainment for the community, all while recognising some of the things we want to do just aren’t possible,” Mr Blackadder said.

“I think what we’ve come up with achieves this and keeps the extremely important tradition of the Festival very much alive, including it taking place over 10 days.”

One of the big events planned is a live concert by music legends Troy Cassar-Daley and Ian Moss, the Grafton gig still set for October 31 at Market Square. This one of the only shows the

Forward planning key to avoiding health

crisis in Northern Rivers hospitals

By Lesley Apps WITH COVID-19 still circling the Northern Rivers, the concerns recently raised by Dr Allan Tyson from Grafton Base Hospital about the possibility of staffing numbers being impacted dramatically in a facility of its size if an outbreak were to occur, is something Northern NSW Local Health District says it has been planning for since the start of the pandemic.

“From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Northern NSW Local Health District has been actively increasing its staffing and upskilling its workforce in readiness to care for COVID-19 patients in our region,” Acting Chief Executive Northern NSW Local Health District, Lynne Weir said.

“Northern NSW Local Health District has well-developed workforce surge and demand management plans in place, and our networked hospital system ensures patients can be transferred or redirected to other

hospitals where necessary, including private hospitals.”

Ms Weir said additional training programs were developed for nurses, midwives, and allied health staff, “with more than 265 staff attending surge training in Intensive Care, Emergency and Immunisation specialties to provide additional capacity to care for patients.”

She confirmed that Lismore Base Hospital was the primary receiving hospital for COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalisation in the District.

“The hospital has recently undergone significant redevelopment to provide a new Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit, as well as other general hospital wards. These refurbishments have also delivered more single room capacity across the facility.”

She said they recently recruited an additional 3.7 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) within the Lismore Base Hospital

Intensive Care Unit and staff from other areas that were trained for surge capacity continue to maintain their skills in emergency and intensive care.

“Our other major hospitals in the District also have trained staff and have the necessary equipment to cater for COVID patients if required as the pandemic evolves,” Ms Weir said.

And while it is reassuring to have a hospital system that can cope with an outbreak, Ms Weir said vaccination played a crucial role in reducing the need for future hospitalisations.

“The more community members who are vaccinated against COVID-19, the better protected our region will be from any future outbreaks. We know that vaccination reduces an individual’s chance of both becoming seriously ill, and of passing on the virus to others around them, so we encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they are able to.”

pair will be performing this year as part of their Together Alone tour, the majority of which has been postponed until 2022. “There are still about 50 tickets at this stage,” Mr Blackadder said.

He said most of the festival’s events will be held at a specially designed major recreational outdoor facility in Market Square with the capacity to hold up to 2000 people, allowing for social distancing and the one person per four square metre rules.

“The Park will be fully-fenced to provide designated entry points

with QR code scanning and sanitiser stands to ensure the safety of attendees and the general public,” Mr Blackadder said.

Other COVID-safe venues to be used for the ticketed festival events include the Saraton Theatre and See Park where the trees will be illuminated for a special night-time experience.

Officer in Charge of Grafton Police Station - Coffs/Clarence Police District, Chief Inspector Joanne Reid, said she was confident the plans put in place would provide for a safe and compliant Jacaranda Festival.

“NSW Police have reviewed the festival’s event plan and the designation of Market Square as a major recreation facility within the definition of the Public Health Orders and support the event,” Chief Inspector Reid said.

While the Float Procession and the Riverrun are the two main events not included in the program this year, many favourites have been able to be kept and many new ones added.

Detailed program and more Jacaranda Festival updates will be published in next week’s edition of The Northern Rivers Times.

MILLIONS OF HOLIDAY DOLLARS LOST, SPARKING MAJOR RETHINK OF OUTSIDE FILMING PERMITS TO THE REGION

By Margaret Dekker Alleged flaunting of exemption rules by a Sydney make-up artist while visiting the Northern Rivers to work on a reality TV show, has sparked a furious and firm response by local leaders.

The 31-year-old woman, who The Northern Rivers Times has chosen not to name, tested positive to Covid-19 on a third test after flying into Ballina, but not before visiting places in Byron Bay and along the Tweed Coast on the weekend of September 18 and 19.

Byron Mayor Michael Lyon told The Northern Rivers Times rules of engagement were broken by the woman and her employer, production company ITV Studios Australia.

“The trust had been broken when she wasn’t chaperoned from the airport,” Mayor Michael Lyon said.

An ITV Studios Australia spokesperson

Extending filming of ITV Australia’s ‘Love Island’ is under a cloud

Byron Mayor Michael Lyon “I’ve got to look after my

said “the crew member is fully vaccinated and was wearing PPE while at work, “We take our CovidSAFE plan extremely seriously.

The health, safety and welfare of the community, as well as our cast and crew, is our number one priority” ITV Studios Australia said.

Filming of the reality TV show, ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of Here’ had wrapped at ITV’s remote set beyond

Murwillumbah at the time the make-up artist arrived. It’s understood she was here to work on an additional ‘satellite shoot’ involving less than ten crew who have all since tested negative to the virus.

“All close contacts of the crew member from within the ITV production have been identified. They are being tested and will isolate in accordance with NSW Health’s requirements. ITV is providing crew members

with all the support and assistance possible,” a spokesperson for ITV Studios Australia said But with a loss of “millions, it’d have to be” of lost revenue to Byron and Tweed traders during the lockdown the positive case caused, during yet another School Holiday period, a furious Byron Mayor Michael Lyon said a lax approach to Covid-19 will not be tolerated again.

“Look at all of the thousands of dollars of food chucked out, employee shifts lost, accommodation cancellations, another school holidays ruined.

It’s a sh*t show on

Planning controls slow the sale of

a large scale and businesses are already struggling,” Byron Mayor Michael Lyon said.

“We need tighter restrictions with regards to exemptions for people coming to our region. We need follow up to ensure restrictions are adhered to under exemptions and we need consequences for those that do not follow these rules.”

Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry seconded.

Implications for ITV production, Love Island Byron Shire Council has now retracted a letter of support it earlier wrote to NSW Planning Minister, Rob Stokes MP, seeking to

extend beyond 30-days a filming permit for ITV Studios Australia’s other reality TV production, Love Island, which had been filming in the Byron Shire under an original 30-day filming permit. It’s understood several Love Island crew members are also isolating.

“We don’t have trust they can keep the community safe,” Mayor Michael Lyon told The Northern Rivers Times.

“I’ve got to look after my shire. Lockdowns affect everyone,” he said.

Mayor Lyon said Byron was taking a hard stance on outside film crew arriving in the shire, and potentially taking advantage of the additional holiday opportunity, at least until vaccination targets are met statewide.

“It’s only for a couple of months,” he said.

“I don’t want everyone in my shire to go into lockdown again just so Sydney can have a holiday.” Byron Mayor Michael Lyon said.

Development limits are slowing the sale of Tweed River Island

By Margaret Dekker Despite more than a hundred expressions of interest in the unique Tweed River Island offering, selling agent Michael Zhong of Loyal Property in Chatswood says the island is yet to be called ‘home’ by a new owner.

Marketed as a ‘fantastic, once-in-alifetime opportunity to own an island in Northern NSW’ the 5.5 hectare freehold island is situated in the Tweed River inlet between Chinderah and Banora Point, ‘just 10 minutes to the Gold Coast International Airport’ with access to Chinderah Bay Drive via a council access

bridge and a short drive to the ‘the most wonderful beaches in Australia.’

The island is also accessible directly by boat or helicopter with buyers encouraged to consider building their ‘own boat ramp or single berth marina with plenty of fishing.’

It entered the market in early August by the Sydney-based agency, with an asking price range of between $3 and $3.3 million.

Selling agent, Michael Zhong, said the island’s sale has hit a snag with its Residential U2 zoning meaning it can’t be subdivided or developed and only a residence can be built there. He said planning

overlays were raising many questions from potential buyers.

“That most problem is what they can do on the island, no one can guarantee anything so this is the biggest problem, what can I do on the land?”

Mr Zhong said there was no cut off date for the sale which is at the discretion of the island’s local owner. He said Covid-19 lockdowns were impacting the sale with buyers of this unique parcel of land keen to spend time exploring the island and Tweed Shire Council’s planning controls and possibilities.

“Potential buyers need to go there,” Michael Zhong said.

GRAFTON SECOND SEWERAGE TEST

By Tim Howard A second round of testing has found fragments of the Covid-19 virus in Grafton sewage.

Director for the North Coast Public Health Unit Dr Paul Douglas said this is the second detection in four days at the Grafton treatment plants.

“We are particularly concerned about the Grafton detections given there are no known cases in the area,” Mr Douglas said.

“We strongly encourage anyone in the Grafton area to be vigilant for COVID-19 symptoms and to get tested and isolate as soon as symptoms develop.”

Clarence Valley Council has been testing its sewage treatment plants at North Grafton and on the southern side of the Clarence River at Clarenza since September last year.

The council’s manager water supply, Greg Mashiah, said sewage samples were taken each Monday and sent for testing in Sydney each Wednesday.

After the first positive find a second round of tests was carried out on Friday and the samples rushed to Sydney where tests revealed a second positive result.

Mr Mashiah said the viral fragments could come from on-site systems which are pumped into the Grafton system.

He said one of these was the highway service centre near Tucabia.

“If someone with the disease or who was recovering from it used a toilet there, it could have entered the system that way,” he said.

Director of Health Protection with NSW Health, Dr Richard Broome said untreated sewage samples were taken from more than 70

sites around NSW each week.

He said they provide health authorities with an early warning about the possible presence of Covid-19 in those regions because fragments of the virus could be shed in faeces or through washing into waste water.

Authorities stress that a positive sewerage find does not necessarily mean there are positive Covid-19 cases in the community.

In mid-August Covid-19 viral fragments were discovered in sewage collected at Yamba, but there have been no confirmed cases in the community and second round of tests did not find more signs of the virus.

NSW Health said the viral fragments in the sewage cannot cause infections. Detergents mixed in the sewage and ultra-violet light and treatment chemicals are lethal to the virus.

Sewage testing cannot replace individual testing for Covid-19 infections.

Health authorities have urged any Grafton residents or people who have been in Grafton in the past week to get tested immediately if they show the slightest symptoms of the disease.

Symptoms can include: cough, sore throat, shortness of breath (difficulty breathing), runny nose, loss of sense of smell muscle or joint pain, and loss of appetite.

Further sewage surveillance has also detected fragments of the virus in samples taken from the Wardell sewage treatment plant on September 24.

This is the fourth detection in that area in the past 10 days.

“While we know there was one confirmed case who had been in the Ballina, Wardell and Cabbage Tree Island areas during September

14 – 16, these ongoing detections could indicate that there are additional unconfirmed cases in these communities,” Mr Douglas said.

Anyone who has even mild symptoms of COVID-19 is strongly encouraged to come forward for testing as soon as their symptoms develop.

There are a range of testing clinics open in the Grafton and Ballina areas: • Grafton Base Hospital, 184 Arthur Street, Grafton. Open 9am- 5pm seven days, appointments not required.

• Grafton South Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, 94 Bent Street, Shop 9 Coles Complex, South Grafton.

Open 7am – 2pm Monday to Friday, appointments not required.

• Ballina 4Cyte Drive Through clinic, 39 River Street, Ballina.

Open 7am – 2pm daily, appointments not required.

• Ballina Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, 90 Tamar Street, Shop 4, Ballina. Open 7am – 5.30pm Monday to Friday, appointments not required.

• Ballina Respiratory Clinic, 92 Tamar Street, Shop 12, Tamar Shopping Village, Ballina. Open Monday- Friday 8.30am – 4pm, appointments required.

There are more than 500 COVID-19 testing locations across NSW. Find a clinic at COVID-19 testing clinics or contact your GP. The health district said it encouraged people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as they are able to.

CALLS TO HALT ‘INFLUX OF SYDNEYSIDERS’ COMING NORTH TO INSPECT LOCAL REAL ESTATE

By Margaret Dekker There are growing calls to the Berejiklian Government from Northern Rivers leaders and residents, to halt travel exemptions for people in Greater Sydney to inspect local real estate amid fears of the rising Covid risk they present.

Byron Mayor Michael Lyon told The Northern Rivers Times a whopping 57,000 exemptions to travel to inspect real estate in New South Wales have been granted since August 21 through Service NSW and counting.

“And a large amount of those were for the Byron region. That is not essential I’m sorry,” Byron Mayor Michael Lyon said.

While acknowledging the benefits of a healthy

Thousands of Greater Sydney residents were granted travel exemptions to inspect property in the region

real estate sector, Michael Lyon said exemptions should be halted.

“Or at the very least, the State Government should improve testing,” he said.

Member for Richmond, Tweed Heads based Labor MP Justine Elliot believes even

more exemptions were granted, for myriad unexplained reasons.

“We have just found out that a total of 182,000 people have been granted permits to travel from Sydney to the regions for a host of reasons IN JUST THE LAST MONTH (sic.) The Liberals and Nationals

are refusing to provide us with information on where these people went or why they gave out so many permits, This is exactly why I’ve been leading calls for a ring of steel for months.

My petition for a ring of steel to protect our community has more than 20,000 signatures,”

Ms Elliot said via social media.

“Our community will not forget this,” Ms Elliot said, as Tweed and Byron sat out a second lockdown in as many weeks.

Justine Elliot’s Facebook post generated hundreds of community posts: “Wow, I should be buying real-estate instead of fighting to see family locked down and isolated for months! I’ve got it all wrong!” posted Jason Davis.

And from Nic Ole, “Please explain how people are getting these permits to travel to Tweed Heads from Sydney? My mum passed away just last week and my sister who had 2 negative PCR swabs was refused an exemption to see our mum before she passed!” she said.

Andrew Hall Smith saw it differently, “.

I’m more concerned about the thousands of people in OUR region who have chosen not to be vaccinated for one reason or another, who pose a stronger risk,” he posted.

And this from Deborah Pearse, “I was chatting to a guy today who said he was from Sydney. When I said oh how come you’re up here then, he said he’d just bought a house (which he’s going to rent out) and that ‘you can get an exemption to come up here and look at houses to buy’. He also said, ‘you can’t stop it happening’.”

Some Northern Rivers community leaders are trying.

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest was contacted but did not comment before deadline.

CLARENCE VALLEY COUNCIL GM RESIGNATION

The opening two items of this week’s Clarence Valley Council meeting put in sharp relief the challenges and opportunities facing the region this year.

The items stem from the imminent departure of general manager Ashley Lindsay from the council after more than four years in the job.

Mr Lindsay has agreed he would leave the job in later October for 12 months of long service leave before officially retiring in November 2022.

In a letter to mayor Jim Simmons, tendered to Tuesday’s meeting, Mr Lindsay gave notice of

his intention to leave in four weeks.

The meeting also considered how it would use assistance from the Office of Local Government to help in its search for a new general manager.

Mr Lindsay has been with Clarence councils for 22 years since coming to work for Maclean Shire and joining Clarence Valley Council during the 2004 amalgamation.

In 2017 he became acting general manager due to the resignation of former GM Scott Greensill in March.

Council affirmed his appointment into the top job four months later.

He ran the council

through one of its most tumultuous periods, which included controversies around the Special Rate Variation, the trauma of the 201920 bushfires and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The pandemic delay of the local government elections, combined with staff movements has created the possibility of a governing overhaul of council.

In addition to Mr Lindsay’s departure, the council farewelled head of the environment, planning and community directorate, Des Schroder earlier this year. His replacement has not been found.

The December 4 council

elections are guaranteed to create changes, with five current councillors including mayor Jim Simmons and deputy Jason Kingsley not standing. Former mayor Richie Williamson and long-serving councillors, Andrew Baker and Arthur Lysaught have also called it quits.

Nine new faces have thrown their hats in the ring along with current councillors Debra Novak, Peter Ellem, Karen Toms and Greg Clancy.

The field creates the possibility of creating the critic’s dream of replacing the old guard with a council of fresh faces.

It is likely the new

council will have the task of finding Mr Lindsay’s replacement which will give it the benefit of choosing a manager in its own image rather than inheriting a previous administration.

Changes in the council’s structure have also changed the role of Mr Schroder’s successor.

The community has been critical of the council, although much of it stems from unhappiness with the amalgamation of the four general purpose and two county councils in 2004.

Anomalies in rating structures that hang over from that era, plus perceptions that there is a bias in favour of Grafton in the council’s priorities

are all issues for a new council group to address.

On a positive side the injection of funds from State and Federal governments for bushfire recovery and pandemic measure, the money from the SRV, meeting the State Government’s Fit for the Future commitments and a determination to restrict council borrowing has been positive for council’s finances.

The votes on these matters and the identity of who will be acting GM until Mr Lindsay’s replacement is found, occurred after the paper’s deadline. There will be a full report next week.

LATE-STAGE BRAIN CANCER NO MATCH FOR SPIRITED AND STRONG CHILD, SKYLER LEVY

By Margaret Dekker

5-year-old Skyler Levy runs to the front door of his Northern Rivers home and his small hand takes mine as he busily welcomes me in, introducing himself and ‘Rhino’ the toy rhinoceros as he shows off his big crane perched in the loungeroom.

This journalist confesses to being a little star-struck and a lot awe-struck that he’s actually, miraculously here; Skyler Levy, alive and brilliant.

You see for the past twoplus years the journey of this utter little fighter has been on my radar, despite not knowing the family, through online updates posted dutifully by his dad Scott Levy to those of us who once gave to Skyler’s big cause; a diagnosis of brain cancer made in its final precarious stages (grade 4 Medulloblastoma.)

It was in July, 2019 when Gemma Levy found her then-3-year-old son lying flat on the floor of their Byron Bay home. Head injury symptoms in the previous six months had now seriously and irrefutably taken a turn for the worst. After 36 hours in Tweed Hospital and then a further 36 hours in the Gold Coast University Hospital, a diagnosis was finally and harrowingly made following emergency MRI. “The doctors came into the room and said he’s got brain tumours and then they just bring up the screen and show us his skull and all the tumours and that it’s spread possibly down his spine now, and it sort of goes a bit blurry from there,” Gemma Levy recalled.

This day - July 26, 2019 – was when the enterprising and close family of four including a then 1-year- old daughter, left the world they knew and entered survival mode, even transporting in their own car their toddler son – a canula in each small arm – to GCUH for the emergency scans.

“As soon as the pictures were up on the screens we were like, this is really bad..

And I start realising, ok, this could be cancer,” Gemma said.

The rest is hard to imagine let alone fathom for any parent. A child barely 3-years-old in Intensive Care in a big city hospital having spinal surgery, brain surgery, steroids, a central line insert

The Levy family

and then adult-strength radiation (high voltage radiation) in 3 months.

The family credits neurooncologist and director of the Centre for Children and Adolescent Brain Cancer Dr Tim Hassall “he’s just a phenomenal person,” and

spreading even more.. they had a team of 30 people open that department just for him on that weekend at the Mater radiation hospital, it was incredible,” Scott Levy said.

Nasal gastric tubes, 70 general anaesthetics, many lumbar punctures, 34 doses

Skyler had to learn to walk, talk and eat again after intensive treatment

the tireless, skilled teams at Queensland Children’s Hospital and Mater Hospital’s Radiation Department for saving Skyler’s life.

“So they just did a full blanket brain and spine radiation as soon as they could, to try and stop it

of radiation plus 7 months of aggressive chemotherapy, and then Skyler’s nightmarish Posterior Fossa Syndrome “Locked in his body, unable to speak or move,” the nightly and hourly bed rolling, pram trips around the ward to keep him calm and

then a lengthy rehabilitation process for brain and spinal injuries, all part of one huge collective effort by the parents and medical teams – all led by little and ‘noncomplaining’ Skyler.

“You could see his pain, although he was on so many drugs, we always hoped that he couldn’t physically feel that pain,” Gemma said.

“He was the one doing all the hard work,” Scott, added.

Until at last a breakthrough after 3-months in a ‘comalike’ state.

“The first time he laughed, you (Gemma) were with him, and you sent me a video and the first word he said was ‘Mum’” Scott remembers.

“And we were like woah, he’s the same kid, his personality’s the same, this cheeky little boy who loves to laugh.”

Two years on, a typical backyard of children’s toys and trampoline can’t distract Skyler from our conversation nor ease his memory.

“He’s got a lot of anxiety, when we’re talking, he knew, everything that’s happened,” Scott Levy said.

So, the next question I literally spell out to Scott and Gemma in ‘grown-ups’ style. “Do you think Skyler was R-O-B-B-E-D of his childhood, and you as his parents of that chance to act earlier because of repeated early misdiagnoses?” “.. You can probably hear that anger in my voice when I’m talking about it, I just don’t understand how they could have missed it. When I think of all the places we

took him, I still and probably never will understand how that didn’t get picked up sooner or even just investigated after so many presentations to doctors and emergency departments,” Gemma Levy said.

“Yeah, absolutely.. but our cheeky, funny, active little boy is here,” Scott added.

Concerning symptoms had included head banging, a sore jaw, blinking, less eating and drinking and personality change.

“And he became a little anxious and it was a slow decline and then turned into a rapid one.. he’d start waking up in the middle of the night, vomiting, grabbing his drink bottle smashing it into his head because he couldn’t tell us he was sore,” Gemma and Scott shared.

‘It’s food allergy, stress, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder’ the doctors repeatedly said, until one day Skyler simply couldn’t walk properly.

“We were down the beach, down The Pass, and you were like ‘see his leg’ he was almost dragging it. We had just been to a paediatrician appointment checkup on the Gold Coast because we were so worried about him and knew something was wrong with him, and again we were sent home. This time with some ADHD medication – risperidone – and the paediatrician wanted to sign me up to a behavioral parenting course,” mum Gemma finds hard to recall.

“I was extremely offended, couldn’t believe what was happening!”

Two days later, Skyler couldn’t move or speak properly on the lounge floor, the left side of his face had drooped, and Gemma knew he was in big, big trouble.

“It was really just so gutting because we’d been trying so hard to get answers,” she said.

Gemma had worked for years with hundreds of children as an Early Childhood educator and was initially wracked with guilt and grief.

“I had a huge amount of blame early on, like how did I miss this? I’ve seen so many children, how did I not get it?” she said.

“But Gemma always said.. that intuition was always there, there’s something wrong,” Scott Levy added.

But now it’s about looking forward not back and turning

NEWS attention to improving community awareness of the signs and key symptoms of brain cancer in children and babies.

“Gemma and I talked about that once we got through the critical phase that if we can do one thing with our lives, if we can get awareness out there whether it’s through GPs, hospitals, families, communities, that these symptoms, if you have any of those symptoms, just push and push for more information.” Scott Levy said.

The Levy’s believe an excellent place to start for parents – and general practitioners, is with the UK organisation HeadSmart for early diagnosis of brain tumours in young people.

The Levy’s said they could’ve ticked nearly every symptom-box for Skyler.

• Persistent headache • Balance/coordination / walking problems • Persistent / recurrent vomiting • Abnormal eye movements • Blurred or double vision / loss of vision • Behaviour change • Fits or seizures • Abnormal head position ie wry neck, head tilt

Skyler at home, “The sand is his happy place”

or stiff neck Sadly, Scott and Gemma say they’ve met too many other families since Skyler’s late diagnosis whose young child was/is in a similar situation.

“They have pictures in every doctor’s surgery about say the flu, why not have just a little picture with a Venn diagram that shows the symptoms of child brain cancer?” Scott Levy asked.

One consolation for Scott and Gemma is that neurooncologists assured them there’s no ‘rhyme or reason for brain cancer in children’ and its cause remains unknown and random.

Today, Skyler’s eyesight and hearing are challenged, and he has some paralysis and muscle weakness. But he’s at pre-school two days a week with big school on

the horizon next year and hopefully another camping trip soon. But for now, he’s happy doing all his favourite things at home.

“I like the ocean.. and the slide,” Skyler Levy said through a smile.

The lockdowns and border closures have made it tough to get to specialist appointments in Queensland and sadly there’s no

guarantee the cancer is all gone. But at least now the experts are on to it.

“He’s got a few spots on his spine and brain and don’t know what they are, but they haven’t changed in the last 3-6 months, so we have MRI’s every three months to monitor,” Scott said “ .. but regardless, he’s here and I don’t care what disability he has, he’s my son and I love him, we’ll deal with whatever we must deal with,” mum Gemma added.

“He’s here and he’s amazing and he’s going from strength to strength all the time,” Scott said.

He is here; this cheeky, inquisitive, and cuddly young fellow who as I leave, I find hard to let go of after all he’s been through, like I’m hugging an invincible superstar.

Truth is, I really am.

The family thank their families, friends, medical and rehab. teams and the community who’ve supported them ‘so much’ over the course of Skyler’s journey.

Scott and Gemma Levy own ‘Legends Pizza’ in Byron Bay, how very apt for two legendary parents.

Tweed Byron stay at home for 7 days after local Covid-19 scare

By Margaret Dekker Residents of Tweed and Byron were again ordered to ‘stay-athome’ for at least a week from Tuesday, September 21 after a confirmed case of Covid-19 infection arrived from Sydney to the Northern Rivers.

Northern NSW Local Health District advised a woman, a make-up artist with television production company ITV Australia, was infectious in the Byron, Ballina and Tweed areas between Saturday, September 18 and Monday, September 20.

The woman arrived at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport at 8:45am on Saturday, September 18, direct from Sydney on Virgin flight VA 1141 and was due to start work on Monday, September 20 but allegedly visited numerous venues in Byron Bay and on the Tweed Coast in the time in between.

NSW Health Minister, Brad Hazzard, confirmed the stay-at-home order which also applied to any person who had been in either of these affected LGAs since September 18, or in the Kempsey LGA since September 14.

Ballina escaped the lockdown although fragments of Covid-19 virus were detected in sewage in Ballina and Wardell at that time.

Brad Hazzard said the

‘BE CALM, BE KIND’ as patience is again tested in locked-down Byron and Tweed LGAs

woman was authorised to travel to Northern NSW for work and was tested on arrival, however it was only after subsequent testing that a positive diagnosis was made.

An exasperated Byron Shire Mayor, Michael Lyon, told The Northern Rivers Time the situation was a joke and has cost Byron Shire alone “millions, it’d have to be” in lost revenue to retail, food and accommodation sectors at the start of school holidays.

“Another school holidays ruined,” he lamented.

Michael Lyon wants rapid antigen testing mandated at the Ballina Byron Gateway Airport for anyone arriving to the Northern Rivers to protect the region from Covid-19 arrivals.

“I cannot believe we’re in this situation, completely avoidable again, businesses

shutting down again, school holidays ruined again, it beggars’ belief,” Mayor Lyon said.

Queensland Health moved quickly to ‘burst the border bubble’ with Tweed and Byron LGAs in response to the outbreak, with both shires removed from the all-important ‘non-restricted’ status.

Tweed Mayor Chris Cherry expressed her dismay at the return to lockdown, just ten days after it was joyously lifted across the regions.

“There goes the bubble!

More than 130,000 people across Tweed and Byron Shires are now facing lockdown because one company did not ensure their employees followed the Exemption requirements. I am meeting as part of the Cross Border Taskforce including

all the local state Members of Parliament Janelle Saffin Member for Lismore, Geoff Provest MP, Tamara Smith MP, Catherine Cusack, Michael Hart MP, Laura Gerber MP with the NSW Cross Border Commissioner today to try to get a system in place that ensures this does not happen again,” Mayor Chris Cherry said.

Byron and Tweed LGAs returned to a ‘restricted’ NSW border zone status from 1am Wednesday 22 September with residents only allowed into Queensland for limited essential purposes.

Those entering Queensland from a non-restricted LGA, who must transit through a restricted LGA, could do so if they transit, without stopping, using private transport for no more than two hours.

For more information about Queensland border restrictions, visit qld.gov.au/ health The day after the renewed lockdown started, a second positive case of Covid-19 was announced in the Tweed on Wednesday September 22 by the Deputy Premier’s office.

“The case was reported in the Tweed LGA and is linked to a known case in the ACT,” a spokesperson for Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, said.

A/Chief Executive of Northern NSW Local Health

District Lynne Weir said the infection was acquired in the ACT and the person has been in isolation throughout their time in Northern NSW. “A small number of close contacts have been contacted directly by NSW Health, but there are no identified public venues of concern associated with this case,” Lynne Weir, Northern NSW Local Health District said.

With the earlier positive Covid-19 woman attending various locations in Tweed and Byron, NSW Health is urging locals to come forward for testing with even mild cold-like symptoms and isolate until a negative result is received.

Testing is available at: Byron Bay: QML Drive through testing clinic Cavanbah Sports Ground, Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay, 9am-4pm Tweed: QML Drive through testing clinic - TAFE NSW Kingscliff, 806 Cudgen Road, 9am to 4pm The make-up artist who sparked the lockdown has since been charged by NSW Police with six offences relating to alleged breaches of her travel exemption, after attending public venues when the exemption stipulated, she could not do so.

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION

AN UNPALATABLE TRUTH Great news about the local Parkinson’s Nurse Appointment but that won’t help all those men and their families still waiting for a Prostate Support Nurse appointment for the Lismore area!! This tragic fact is despite numerous requests to the Northern Area Health Service and with advocacy through both State and Federal local members and from the local Prostate Support Group.

It seems like a lot of empty promises have been given but there has still been little/or no action! Funding for such a position was provided by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia for a Specialist Support Nurse appointment from July 2020 but, after a slow/or no uptake from Lismore, the position went to Tweed Heads!

And this means that local men and their families have no access to face-to-face support in the initial diagnosis state (or help with deciding on which treatment option to take) nor do they have any local support post radiation/

QUESTIONABLE QUESTIONED In response to letters NRT 23/09. Mr Clarke,

SUCCEED It’s about time the northern rivers and mid North coast succeed from the rest of NSW and formed our own state.

Once again, we’ve been treated like crap by the liberal national party state government and parts of the regions forced into lockdown because of covid cases from Sydney.

For so long we have been treated like second class citizens by this government and need to succeed now this kind of thing has been talked about before and even one of their own Catherine Cusack has called for Brad Hazzard health minister to resign, he along with Gladys Berejiklian should do the same though I would rather succeed from the rest of NSW and form our own state new Australia without the major parties and only Independents allowed to sit in government with year to year elections done electronically.

an own goal. By using denigrating terminology against others- while hiding behind a cloak of anonymity- the unidentified “Ballina resident” has ingloriously ended up besmirching themselves.

The unidentified “Ballina resident” seemed to be mesmerized by a quote by Nigel Dawe that “people who criticise others reduce their own standing and generally don’t have a great deal to offer and never really offered much at all”. The unidentified “Ballina resident” also seems to have overlooked a very pertinent point; in that if the letter about which the unidentified “Ballina resident” was demeaning, had offered “nothing at all”, it sure as hell got the undivided attention of the unidentified “Ballina resident”; who appears to be a typical thin-skinned, hypocritical, rightist boofhead.

But really, if we’re looking for someone who continually sprukes absolutely nothing, we don’t have to look any further than “missing in action” Morrison, who was even sacked from Tourism Australia by the Howard Govt- for being uncontrollable.

It’s like looking at a hollow man with a motorised mouth that continually emits nothing but hyperbole. This “menacing wallpaper” would have been history after he shamelessly disappeared to Hawaii during Australia’s unprecedented bushfire catastrophe, only to be handed a lifeline by a once in a generation Global pandemic.

Often this means loss of erectile function (temporary or permanent), bladder and/ or bowel incontinence (again temporary or permanent) decline in physical and muscle strength etc. – all of which can lead to severe depression and inability to face the future.

With currently only 36% of Aussie men diagnosed at Stage 1 (when prostate cancer is easier to beat, and survival is higher) good support and education is critical to avoid increasing numbers of men becoming statistics.

A little-known fact is that Australia-wide there are more men diagnosed with prostate cancer than women diagnosed with breast cancer and yet they have little/no support.

OPINION 13

LETTERS, FEEDBACK AND OPINION a terrible result for Australia on all counts.

Keith Duncan “Identified” Pimlico resident WRITE A LETTER If you are like me and want to do something about the way this govt is handling the covid situation, may I suggest you write a letter to Hon. David Hurley, Governor General of Australia, Government House, Dunrossil Drive, YARRALUMLA ACT 2600, saying what you think.

Riccardo Bosi did, the leader of the Australia One Party and requested others to do also. I cannot say what I wrote otherwise it would be classed as ‘misleading the public’, such is the way our freedoms have been lost.

Our leaders are following the New World Order due to signing overseas agendas and don’t know what they are doing to wreck our country. However, lawyers are working on challenging what has been happening regarding our Australian constitution/rights. All we can do is remember the names of our leaders, whether politicians, police, military, medical, education, clergy or judges and remember what they say and did or didn’t say or do to support us.

For an example of what is happening, Dan Andrews the premier of Victoria was planning to exclude unvaccinated people from the economy including Medicare benefits but on Wednesday a quake hit at 9.15am. He had already placed

construction workers on two weeks lockdown, thus the reason they were protesting, but now they are needed to fix the buildings the quake damaged.

We need to fight back but not with protesting or violence. So, stay calm, write letters as above and remember we can get Australia back to what it once was.

Given that real estate has risen in the area and GIVEN THE DELAY CAUSED BY AL AND HIS COHORTS I would think this price will now be greatly elevated, but the fact is if it had been allowed to progress it would have supplied a desperate need for the area.

As far as this development being on the Flood Plain, Al needs to consult a dictionary.

Flood Plain in the Macquarie dictionary (7th edition) states “a flat area near a river which is subject to flooding”.

Once again Al is distorting the facts to suit his biased narrative.

He fails to mention ALL the benefits this subdivision will have for residents and local businesses, but again this fact doesn’t suit his one-eyed opinion for disruption at any cost!

If only Al and his ilk would use their energies for the good of the community instead of being anti anything development.

We need to stop listening to the vocal minority and do what’s best for the vast majority.

Col Baker Modanville HERE WE GO AGAIN. Some years ago, I submitted a letter to the Ballina Advocate letter section indicating that when I wish to get my blood boiling, I watch Q&A or I read Keith Duncan’s contributions to their letter section. I have since given up watching Q&A as it is a waste of time due its totally left leaning bias and lack of balanced debate but I still read the letter section of your newspaper – Keith’s contribution (16 September) sent my

blood pressure spiralling to a new level. His left leaning diabolical ramblings have no bounds and I am sure many of your so called “right wing nutters” take offence at his over-thetop deplorable drivel.

I appreciate that on the Far North Coast there is an over representation of left leaning voters but unfortunately for Keith the FNC is not representative of the Australian population – he may have noticed that we are federally led by a Conservative Government which sort of indicates that at least 50% of the population are “right wing nutters” and I dare say that many of these people get their “dose of common sense” from Sky News or the Australian newspaper.

Terms such as “the left”, wokeness, cancel culture, identity politics and climate alarmism are now commonly used and have significant meaning and deserved to be debated and discussed.

Anyone who believes the ABC is unbiased is living in a dream world.

One of my closest relatives has the same opinion, however his efforts to nominate one ABC presenter with a conservative leaning remains a mystery. Incidentally most of the grovelling apologies recently have come for the voter funded ABC and not from the Sky presenters.

It is confusing why the Federal Government continually funds this left-wing lobby group whose sole objective is to get rid of the Morrison government. Hopefully in their next term they may get the courage to act.

Can I recommend to Keith, no one objects to your left leaning opinions but please mate just tone it down and recognise that at least 50% of the population do not agree with you and even those who agree are surely civil enough to advise that spite, viciousness, hatefulness and unsubstantiated aggressive statements are un-Australian. You would be very much more credible if you just put forward your case without the bile.

Hardship… is certainly never a cruise

by Nigel Dawe

THERE are times in all our lives where we feel weak, if not close to outright defeat in some way, unable to get out of bed, let alone with a spring. Generally, such moments are afflicted and beset with hardship, the most common ‘ship’ to board, if not to gain a berth on, in the world.

Having said that, one person’s hardship is another person’s given lot, if not unruffled norm; when it comes to the ‘reality’ of hardship, it is clear we each have very different comprehensions as to what constitutes hardship in our lives. If you’ve grown up in a family that bought you your first car or catered for your every whim and want, what could you possibly know of being an unemployed single mum, or having to do menial jobs to get yourself through uni, for triple the time it took everyone else.

In Ancient Greece, there was a saying: “Heroes come from lands where the livelihood is hard.”

However, that’s not to say hardship and struggle are by any means the prerequisites to the attainment of success, though it is an insight into how a balanced character with the broadest outlook can be achieved through the most challenging circumstances; without something to rise above, we so often pass through our days without any reason or incentive to harness whatever talent or strengths we possess, let alone avoid making mountains out of every single molehill.

One of the earliest figures in all of Western thought and literature (having been born in 750 BC), and widely

regarded as ‘the Shakespeare’ of the ancient world – Homer, once said: “I will stay with it and endure through suffering hardship and once the heaving sea has shaken my raft to pieces, then I will swim.” The ‘salvation’, albeit sheer example and moral of this passage is not the shattered raft, but the undefeatable urge to swim, to not succumb without at least putting up one hell of a fight.

As such, having lived in a western country my entire life, I could not even remotely comprehend the lifethreatening ‘prospect’ of leaving behind all I know (as illegal migrants do, a term I actually loathe, perhaps ‘betterment seekers’ is more appropriate) in the quest to attain more improved lives for themselves in another country. Incredibly, in 2014 alone, over 170,000 betterment seekers from Africa arrived in Italy by sea, that is almost two packed MCG stadiums full of people risking everything, in the hope of being able to live a more harmonious existence.

To try and put a positive spin on such a disturbing ‘development’ that plays out daily, and largely obliviously to those of us that enjoy the prosperity of life in the western world, the cultural anthropologist Ralph H. Blum, once gleaned: “The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.”

And it is never too late for any of us to help create new beginnings in a world seemingly buckling Atlas-like, under the weight of its own beknown hardship and woe.

CLARENCE CRICKET SEASON TALKING STREET TRIAL LOOKS SET FOR LATE START

CONTINUES, PARKLETS TO BE REMOVED

By Tim Howard

Clarence cricket officials predict a late start for the 2021-22 season as uncertainty around Covid-19 restrictions bites.

The Clarence River Cricket Association’s newly elected president, Bruce Baxter, said a mid-November start was the earliest he could see.

He said the association was hearing almost daily from Cricket NSW and nothing he learned persuaded him the competition would make its usual start on the first weekend after the October Long Weekend.

“There’s so many things to plan and the advice seems to change at such short notice,” he said.

He said there was no real reason for local cricket couldn’t start early.

“The problem would be for the State Government to have 2000 cricketers on the North Coast playing cricket, while the rest of the state is in isolation,” he said.

It’s back to the future for the new president, who was president for CRCA president for many years from the 1990s.

His executive will include former president Derek Woods as Vice President, long time secretary Judy Disson and treasurer John Blanch.

This season Baxter will wear three administrative hats as CRCA, South Services and Umpires Association president.

He said Souths were rebuilding after a disappointing season in 2020-21.

“We are going to field teams in first and second grades and try for a third grade team,” he said.

“It’s not looking too bad at the moment.”

He paid tribute to first grade captain Dylan Cleaver who has spent the off season building up his team during the off-season.

“We look like adding a couple of players this season, if things go to plan,” Baxter said.

Baxter said there could be more good news on the player front, but

Leading umpire Bruce Baxter has returned to the CRCA presidency for 2021-22 after a long break.

didn’t want to reveal details.

Outgoing CRCA president Derek Woods, who is also heavily involved in the Tucabia Copmanhurst club as a player, curator and administrator said he had too much on his plate and something had to give.

He too has been swamped with Cricket NSW advice about how cricket might go ahead during the pandemic.

“We have been hearing all sorts of things like a no-jab/no-play policy that might come into effect once vaccination rates get above 80%,” he said.

Woods said Tucabia, would put up a strong defence of its premier league champions title.

He said the club would field a strong team despite losing the services of opening bowler Taine Riley who has moved away and the retirement of last season’s finals hero Bob McKenzie.

“Bobby decided it was time to call it quits after his performance in the grand final,” Woods said.

“He might come in years to come as a veteran in thirds. He’s been a good servant to the club.”

Wood said the club would welcome back Tyson Blackadder and Tom Cootes this season, who would be welcome additions.

“It’s going to be a close competition again this season,” he said. “Any of the four sides could beat the others on their day.

“If you didn’t turn up ready to play, you could

easily get your pants pulled down.”

The Clarence River Junior Cricket Association was also unsure of its playing start date for the coming season.

New juniors president Christian Buggy said tentatively and after many discussions with NSW he was hoping to get a late October, early November start date “Normally at this time of the year we are dusting off the cricket gear and getting into some pre-season training in readiness for a new season commencing early October,” he said.

“Our association is working closely with Cricket NSW and the beginning of the season remains in the hands of the relevant NSW Public Health Orders. A tentative commencement window of October/ November has been given and as soon as the go ahead is given we will advise you all.”

After the CRJCA ran without an executive committee last season, the association has elected a full complement for this season.

In addition to Buggy in the top job, Andrew Kinnane is Vice President, Claudia Ollenburg is secretary and Adam Brown is treasurer.D He said the North Coast Cricket Council Academy held a training clinic at JJ Lawrence Fields, South Grafton, on August 7 attended by 50+ junior cricketers from the association.

TWO parklets which were temporarily installed in Stuart Street, Mullumbimby, as part of the Talking Street trial project were removed on Thursday, September 23.

“Unfortunately, there has been ongoing anti-social behaviour in the parklets during the trial which has escalated significantly and is now occurring at all hours of the day and night,” Byron Shire Council’s director sustainability, environment and economy Shannon Burt said.

“The parklets were intended to provide some much-needed shady public space in Mullumbimby’s town centre and offer seating to encourage talking, connecting, and relaxing.

“We understand that some people are no longer feeling welcome

impacted by removal of this space,” Ms Burt said.

The two parklets will be stored at council’s depot while an assessment of other suitable locations around the shire are considered.

Council is also looking for some new homes for the parklets’ artworks which were created by high school students from the Shearwater Steiner school. Anyone with a suitable space for artwork display in the town centre is encouraged to get in touch with council.

The Talking Street trial project is a unique opportunity

for council to test new ideas and ways to turn Burringbar Street and the Mullumbimby town centre into a more attractive, safe and people-friendly public space.

This project has been made possible thanks to a grant from the NSW Government’s Streets and Shared Spaces program.

The trial includes a new pedestrian crossing, changes to traffic speeds in Burringbar Street from 50km/h to 30km/h and road narrowing treatments currently marked by temporary white bollards which make it safer and easier for people to cross at the intersection.

You can continue to give your feedback on the trial at council’s YourSay page. The Talking Street trial runs until the end of December.

$30,000 in power bill savings available for Tweed residents and businesses THERE’S no such thing as a free solar system – that is until now.

Local solar experts, SAE Group have just released their annual community support project. The ‘Good Energy Giveaway’ calls for expressions of interest from residents and businesses asking them to nominate a business, charity, sporting association or resident who would benefit from a solar system.

SAE Group are a community minded organisation with a longstanding history of supporting local sporting clubs, not for profit organisations, charities and generally anyone in need of a leg up and have been doing so since they opened their doors in 2010.

‘We know a quality solar system delivers savings for many years to come.

Essentially our upfront donation of a fully installed solar system is compounded by 15+ years of electricity

savings, which in turn frees

up valuable dollars for these vital organisations within our community to extend their positive impacts.’ says managing director, Glen Ashton.

Recent worthy recipients include Agape Outreach and

Mary’s House in Ballina, the Living School in Lismore, Hope in Health in Pottsville, and the XXX Cricket Club in Coffs Harbour along with three private residences we also donated system to in the last couple of years.

Free solar - savings up to $600 on electricity bills

The NSW Government is trialling a new way to assist people on low incomes with their power bills by installing free solar systems for up to 3,000 eligible households in place of their Low Income Household Rebate. This program aims to improve energy affordability by helping households unlock long terms savings on their electricity bills.

While this means you will no longer receive the $285 annual rebate on your electricity bill, you could receive up to $600 in savings per year from your new solar system!

The program is only available to a limited number of households that live in the region and meet the eligibility criteria. When participating in this program households will receive a free, fully installed 3kW solar system in place of their Low Income Household Rebate.

SAE Group are the only approved provider, designing and installing solar systems to eligible homes across Northern NSW. To be eligible you must: • Currently be receiving the Low Income Household Rebate • Agree not to receive the rebate for ten years • Own your own home • Not already have a solar PV system • Use at least 3600 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity in a year • Live in the North Coast of NSW • Hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or a Department of Veteran Affairs Gold Card If you are not the registered homeowner, but your spouse is, you may be considered eligible collectively as a household.

A 3kW system is designed to generate an average of 12.6kwh per day, which will deliver electricity savings depending on each households energy consumption. Managing Director of SAE Group Glen Ashton comments “We know electricity bills continue to place a lot of pressure on households, and we are pleased to be working with the NSW Government to help ease the pressure on low income households.”

SAE Group are a locally owned and operated organisation with more than ten years’ experience in the solar industry. SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Retailer, and hold accreditations ISO 9001, AS/NZS4801 for safety and quality systems.

Heritage house will see new life as offices “So, there’s a lot of the older community members that have completely deep connection with this property.

“There’s a lot of passion here for this place.

“The thing I really liked about the final proposal was the fact that it adopts a strategic approach to heritage conservation which is quite fantastic.”

“We were very pleased with the final result and Bangalow says a big thank you to all of those involved who contributed to the result.

We totally support it.”

Council doesn’t have any electronic records of approvals for the house including alterations and or additions since is construction more than 100 years ago. Although part of the verandah has been enclosed, it presents mainly today to the street as it was originally constructed.

It is also recommended that an interpretive sign be installed within the front curtilage of the property providing heritage detail on the Greys House.

By Tonia Dynan AN OLD house in Bangalow, believed to have been built in 1910, has been granted a new lease of life with Byron Shire Council approving the house to be used as offices.

Council reports the dwelling is best described as a Federation Bungalow and is believed to have been constructed in 1910 by local builder AE Beckinsale who also constructed several other properties in Bangalow including Clover Hill.

The house was designed by local architects F.J Board and A.E Jolly, from Lismore.

The house is best known as the Greys House as it was occupied by Sheila Grey, a midwife, and her husband Dr Grey from 1935. It is understood Sheila Grey lived in the dwelling till 2015.

Ian Holmes, from the Bangalow Progress Association, said this particular property had a very strong connection with the Bangalow community.

“I think Dr Grey ran a medical practice for several decades and provided very high-quality care for the community at large and his wife Sheila was a midwife who delivered numerous babies,” he said.

“Leemo’s View”

Well? Is It Togs Or Swimmers ‘LEEMO CAT’ returning. Oooh. I couldn’t find ‘Mum Jane’. Normally, I’m not worried, BUT, my bowls were empty? No treats and I was fiercely hungry. I prowled, emitting my best “Mum, I’m starving” sounds. NOTHING! I prowled more, and my acute feline skills heard the sound of water. I followed the sound.

AHA, she was in the bathroom. I snuk a little further, out of splash range, and saw she was sitting in the bathtub with one leg hanging over the side.

She ALSO had a little pink razor thingie in her hand which she was gliding down her leg...

OMG, how terrifying.

Should I call the 1300 number...or apply my astute negotiation skills and talk her into stopping. I concluded I should ‘gentle’ my ‘Session’ in by asking “Mum, WHY are you attacking your leg with a pink razor…please explain, ‘cos I’m fretful for you”. Well, in between the ‘Mum Jane ferocious stare glare’ the water splashes and razor stuff, she told me “Leems, what I am doing is shaving fur off my legs...and when I am finished I shall hop OUT of the bath, have a shower and wash my head hair.. any probs?”. Crikey.

“Mum, why shave the

fur off your legs...I don’t understand. I believe you need help”.

“Leemo, go away please, and be prepared for a ‘discussion’ when I have finished my ablutions including epilating”. Ablutions & Epilating? OMG. I was about to go into a meditative state on my plush blue blankie, paws in air making OOOMRHUMMS. I didn’t. I figured Mum had gone a little crazy.

She finally emerged with ‘kinda’ clothes on. She was wearing a pair of ‘togs’. I almost fainted. ‘Mum, why are you wearing togs?

You are acting in a most peculiar way”.

So, whilst looking in a mirror she informed me that she was preparing for Summer Swimming. Which is (apparently) why she was trying on her togs and removing the fur from her legs?

According to her, it was so thick it slowed her brisk swimming pace. Truly, if Mum thinks I’m going to believe such utter tommyrot she is far more obtuse than I thought. I told her to be quiet for a change and listen to me, ‘Leemo the Wise’. “Mum, it is not SUMMER. I didn’t know you could swim.

I do believe you truly are a bit old for those togs...go find yourself a neck to knee suit with a face mask to hide your wrinks.” I sat back, awaiting a ‘thank you’ for my input. This did not at all come to pass. Eeek…the glare was terrifying. “Leemo, ‘togs’ are now called ‘swimsuits’. YEP, I can swim, Summer is around the corner, so I am PREPARING. GOT IT? Go away you mean cat”. It got worse. CRIKEY...she produced a battered old bronze medal she had won for coming 3rd in the ‘butterfly’ stroke in Townsville in 1962 at the local swimming club titles. Time for me to go to hidey hole.

Nite, Leemo.

Unvaccinated may not have a prayer

By Samantha Elley AS THE population in NSW inches closer to the magic 70 per cent double dose figure, a number of venues will become off limits to those who are not vaccinated.

Pubs, clubs, cinemas, gyms and other entertainment venues will need to see evidence of patrons’ vaccinations before letting them in.

The same goes for churches, mosques and temples.

Considered places of refuge, sanctuary and generally open to all people, The Northern Rivers Times looked into how faith-based communities will cope in these Covid times.

Deputy Premier John Barilaro is emphatic that only vaccinated people will be allowed to attend church once the roadmap is kicked into action.

“I’m sure churches will be pushing back… that we should be able to fill the pews in the church up on Sunday mornings,” he said.

“That’s not part of the road map. That won’t occur, it is only for vaccinated people.”

Sydney archbishops, both in the Anglican and Catholic churches have been negotiating with the government, airing their concerns regarding ‘vaccine passports’.

“Jesus is Lord of all and his gospel is a gospel for all,” Sydney Anglican Archbishop Kaniska Raffel told Christian website Eternity.

“A ‘No Entry’ sign at the door of the church is wholly inconsistent with the gospel preached inside.”

Closer to home, faith leaders are weighing up their options when it comes the time where

they may have to refuse people entry into God’s house.

Lismore’s Catholic Bishop Greg Homeming said he wouldn’t make any concrete decisions while the roadmap was still being finalised.

“In the height of things it’s very silly to take a strong position because the position’s not coming from knowledge,” he said.

“My role as bishop is to attend to people’s spiritual needs and that spins off into other variants because that will also enter the mental health area.

“The government’s responsibility is and should be the overall attentiveness to the health care of the people of NSW. “Once they determine that, I as a leader in NSW will follow what the government says.

“Now if it does turn up it’s going to exclude some people coming to mass, that’s highly regrettable for them as I have to care for them, but at the same token I have to care for those that do come to Mass.

“I’m putting the people that do come to mass doubly vaccinated at risk.

“It’s not a very simple thing as everyone has their needs.”

Bishop Greg said the spiritual needs of his parishioners was paramount, as it has been throughout the pandemic and lockdown.

“At (Lismore Cathedral) the bulletin goes out every week in lockdown to all the people telling them things, attending to their needs,” he said.

“The priests still do go because we’re allowed for pastoral needs to

care for people and that pastoral care will continue.”

Bishop Greg has been doing Mass on YouTube and The Northern Rivers Times was advised, it was the most popular Mass online, in Australia.

“I don’t want to put anyone in my diocese in the dilemma, if I don’t go to Mass what happens, but if I do go to Mass I might catch something,” he said.

“So I’m putting these things on Youtube so that if you feel you can’t go to Mass I am still here to help you.”

Anglican Bishop of Grafton Murray Harvey said they had always complied with the government’s public health orders, but he had concerns regarding the distinction between people coming to church, vaccinated or not.

“We have volunteers who greet people at the door,” he said.

“They will be the ones saying ‘Sorry you can’t come in’ or asking for (vaccination) certificates.

“It will create problems but if that’s what we have to do, we have to do it.”

Bishop Harvey said there was the possibility of such a situation being temporary if vaccination rates get to 85-90 per cent.

“The Anglican bishops have met to discuss (plans) for the long term,” he said.

“Research in other countries show 15 per cent (of people) will not be vaccinated.

“If the (vaccination passport) situation is long term then that will be a concern.”

Bishop Harvey said in times of crisis, it was important for people to

feel they could go to and be welcomed in church.

“There is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty,” he said.

“It is important for people to get together as they are looking for community, fellowship and meaningful relationships.”

In the Muslim community at Southern Cross University, academic and pharmacist Dr Mahmud Rahman said the students were very aware of the need to vaccinate.

“Vaccination is practiced in Islam and everyone is vaxed as best I know,” he said.

“We have informed everyone about the vaccines.”

Dr Rahman said Muslim students at the university were 100 per cent vaccinated or on their way to getting both their shots.

“We have to follow the rules of the university,” he said.

“We have prayer on Fridays and community members stuck a notice on the door to say there was a capacity of 20 people allowed in.

“So people stand outside and join in the prayer with respect to the rules. I find people put their prayer mats on the grass.”

Head of the Byron Bay Habayit Chabad Rabbi Mosheh Serebryanski said his community was always ready to follow the laws of the land.

“If there are exceptions then you apply for whatever is relevant to the specific circumstances,” he said.

“We will see how things go as it’s an evolving and changing situation.”

LOCAL SPARKIES HELP SCHOOLS SHINE THE NSW Government is putting out the call for local tradies to install smart LED lights in NSW public schools, improving the quality of classrooms and cutting power bills.

The $157.8 million LED Lighting Upgrade Program was launched last year as a stimulus response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is targeted at replacing old inefficient lights in NSW public schools with smart LED lights. Now in its third tranche, the program will see more than 800 schools upgraded across the state.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade John Barilaro said this was an exciting opportunity for local tradies right across NSW. “As a former chippy I appreciate the ongoing impacts of this virus on local businesses, and the

NSW Government is committed to supporting jobs and providing opportunities for tradies throughout the State,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Under this program, all LED lights will be

manufactured here in NSW and installed by NSW tradies and this commitment by the NSW Government has the added benefit of improving facilities at our schools, ensuring

our students get the best possible start in life.”

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said that improved lighting would have a positive impact on students’ education.

“A high quality

classroom and learning environment has a positive impact on students and that is why this government is investing record amounts on improving our classrooms, libraries,

halls and administration areas,” Ms Mitchell said.

“The smart LED lights mimic natural light which can help students’ education by improving their attentiveness and comprehension.

“This program is a great way for schools to reduce their power and maintenance bills, while also providing work for local tradies.”

Local tradies will be able to tender for lighting upgrade opportunities via the Local Trades Scheme, an online platform where small businesses can engage directly with the Department of Education to bid for work in their local communities.

Already hundreds of tender opportunities have been published with more to come in the following weeks.

The program will bring savings on electricity and also improve the sustainability of schools.

Joe’s passion keeps him active at 100 DUTCH immigrant and co-founder of the Ballina Vados Furniture Store, Joe Van Dommele, marked his 100th birthday on Saturday, September 18.

Although his family had planned an elaborate milestone celebration, the latest lockdown in Lismore meant his birthday bonanza had to be postponed.

The well-known Ballina man was to celebrate at Summerland Farm in Wardell with many family members and a few close friends, but that will have to hold for the foreseeable future.

“We’re looking now to have a celebration in Queensland because then Victorian people will be able to attend,” Joe’s “favourite” son-in-law John Heaton said.

“It’s been a nightmare trying to organise this all year.

“But Joe has lived through the depression and everything else that

has gone on in the world and he just takes it all in his stride.

“He says, ‘Well, there’s not much you can do about it’.”

Eldest daughter Cobie says: “In 1952 Joe and his wife Jenny (deceased) decided to migrate to Australia with her and her younger brother Peter and after arriving, they made Ballina their home. In the ensuring years, Joe and Jenny had three more children – Ina, Ron, and Maria.

“From five children, Joe can now boast 14 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.”

Joe has always had a passion for making things with wood. He stills lives at home by himself and has his workshop to keep him busy.

Over the years he has made furniture items for his children and grandchildren and the tradition continues.

“Last year he made all the great-grandchildren a little jewellery box and he presented them at Christmas time, and he put $5 in each jewellery box,” John said.

“This year, he planned to make windmills for them all for Christmas.

He started working on that and then thought, ‘they’re all going to be here for my birthday’, so he finished them early.

“He’s spent his life making furniture for his children and grandchildren.

He’s made all his grandchildren ‘grandmother’ clocks; he’s made dining tables, coffee tables, display cabinets, model ships, you name it.”

Cobie says keeping busy in his workshop helps Joe to maintain his zest for life.

From those early years working with wood in Rotterdam in the Netherlands to repairing furniture and selling second-hand furniture during the early years in Ballina to selling quality furniture through Vados (Va from Van and Do from Dommele) Furniture Stores of the 1960s and 90s to still

making things in his home workshop, yes indeed, Joe has a passion for wood and keeping his mind active.

“Joe was always a hard worked and the 1954 Lismore flood brought lots of work for Joe and his brother Jack and they saved their money, eventually having an opportunity to buy a small joinery business,” Cobie said.

“The name was changed from Raysons Products to Vados Products.

“For extra income, Joe made 25 canoes after hours in the Cherry Street workshop and then put them out for hire on Shaw’s Bay. “Vados Furniture continued to grow and in the 1990s they had three stores in Ballina, Lismore and Byron Bay and employed up to 50 staff.

“The present A-Mart site in Ballina was formerly the main site of Vados Furniture Store.”

Free mental health workshop for business owners

Work begins on popular lookout RAZORBACK Lookout is a very popular spot to look out over the spectacular coastal town of Evans Head.

It is used by many tourists and locals.

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said work had now begun on the $399,963 redevelopment of the lookout.

“This project is great for tourists who come

to visit and stay in our community, and our locals who enjoy sitting and taking in the view,” Mr Hogan said.

“Upgrades will include new picnic shelters, barbecue facilities, new toilets, car parks and signage.”

Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow said the community had benefited greatly from increased

support from the Federal Government.

“We can be very proud of what has been achieved so far and I look forward to progressing with all the projects across the Richmond Valley,” Cr Mustow said.

“Our communities have faced the combined effects of drought, bushfires, floods and Covid-19, which is

why we are backing projects which create employment and business opportunities.”

Funding has been provided through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, designed to support councils deliver priority infrastructure projects to support jobs and bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic.

BUSINESS owners in the Byron Shire are invited to attend a free online workshop aimed at providing resources and tools to improve their, and their employees’, mental health and wellbeing, as well as the opportunity to connect with other business owners.

The online workshop will be held on Thursday, October 7 from 1.30pm to 3pm.

Byron Shire Council’s business enterprise officer Lisa Richards said the aim of the workshop was to provide business owners with strategies and tools to cope with the stress of owning or running a small business and how to create team wellbeing.

“Council ran similar workshops last October

and also in June this year and we had terrific feedback from those who attended,” Ms Richards said.

“This online workshop is a more condensed version covering some key areas of the previous workshops.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has put an enormous amount of pressure on businesses in the shire in a range of different ways including the need for some to diversify and change the way they operate and find staff to help them keep the doors open.

“This workshop, which is being facilitated

by Mullumbimby Psychology, will look at things including skills to help manage burnout and how to take care of mental health.”

Puggle season has arrived

By WIRES Northern Rivers THIS is a baby echidna, also known as a puggle.

As breeding season continues for echidnas, females may be carrying either an egg or a very small echidna, known as a ‘puggle’.

We would like to ask the public to be especially vigilant in coming months with regards to echidnas.

If you come across an injured echidna please stop, check underneath the animal as well as the

surrounding area.

The impact from a car accident can cause a puggle to roll some distance from the mother’s body.

A search can often locate a tiny un-spined puggle. They will be rolled into a ball and may look like a pinkygrey clump of clay.

Please call WIRES straight away if a puggle is found, as they require specialist intensive care immediately.

It is also important not to contain or move an adult echidna that is not injured as they may

have young nearby in a burrow that will starve if they do not return. Most echidna you see will just be moving through and can be left to their own devices.

Due to their relatively slow speed of about 1km an hour, echidnas are unfortunately prone to motor vehicle collisions when waddling across busy roads or highways.

If you come across an injured animal, please WIRES immediately on 1300 094 737. If it is a puggle please make sure it is kept cool until help has arrived.

SOUTH-EAST QUEENSLAND IS BOOMING, AS VICTORIANS UPPED STICKS AND LEFT Victorian population decline As Melbourne heads passed a cumulative 230 days in lockdown, there has been evidence of internal migration away from the state of Victoria.

“While state borders have not always been open, even by the end of March there was a significant swing in population away from Victoria, reversing the internal migration trends towards Victoria prevailing in recent years.

NORTHERN RIVERS KEY CONTRIBUTOR TO WORLD’S

LARGEST SHARK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Beaches up and down the Northern Rivers have played a significant role in NSW’s Shark Management Program with trials of SMART drumlines, listening stations and drones on our beaches now contributing to the deployment of world’s largest suite of shark management tools.

The NSW Government announced this week the Shark Management Program has nearly tripled its funding

to $21.4 million and will increase shark surveillance and safety technology at beaches across the State.

Local Nationals Member of the Legislative Council Ben Franklin said the technologies that have been trialled on local beaches would be here to stay with additional resources also coming to the region.

“Drones, smart drumlines and listening stations will remain a

fixture at our beaches and we will continue to be at the forefront of the world’s largest suite of shark management tools,” Mr Franklin said.

“Trials in our region have helped keep beachgoers safe and I’m proud that our results have helped contribute to management across the State.

“Not only is NSW now home to the world’s largest shark management program, but also the biggest domestic fleet of sharkspotting drones across the globe.

“We partnered with Surf Lifesaving NSW to deploy these technologies up and down the coast during the trial periods and I’m thrilled that SMART drumlines, drones and listening stations are here to stay.

“This is good news for our region’s coastal communities and while there is no silver bullet for protecting beachgoers from sharks, locals can be assured

we are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to their safety.”

The measures in Ballina and Richmond valley will remain in place, with the existing 35 SMART Drumlines, drones and listening stations continued through 2021/22.

Drone surveillance will be maintained at Byron Bay; Lennox Head; Sharpes Beach; Shelly Beach; Ballina (lighthouse Beach); and Evans Head, with the addition of patrols at Brunswick Heads.

There will be an increase in measures for Tweed and Byron, with the deployment of SMART Drumlines which is being worked through with local councils. Further, in addition to existing drone surveillance at

Kingscliff/Cudgen and Cabarita, there will also be patrols at Fingal Heads and Salt Beach.

Mr Franklin said that no other jurisdiction in Australia or across the globe had done as much testing or trialling and that the shark management program is about getting the balance right, between keeping swimmers and surfers safe, and protecting our marine life.

“Drones have proven time and again to be a vital tool for keeping beachgoers safe from shark attacks. In the past, they have observed approximately 230 sharks and implemented counter measures on another 121 occasions,” Mr Franklin said.

“The spring school holidays will see the start of these eyes in the sky

protecting beachgoers, with the drones continuing to operate throughout summer and autumn.”

The NSW Government encourages all beachgoers to be SharkSmart when entering the ocean or estuarine environments and download the SharkSmart app. For more information on the technologies used, visit www.sharksmart.nsw. gov.au.

The NSW Government’s $21.4 million Shark Management Program includes: · The world’s largest domestic drone fleet (in partnership with Surf Life Saving NSW). · 170 SMART drumlines; · VR4G listening stations in every local government area; and · Shark nets in the Greater Sydney region as part of the Shark Meshing Program.

$2 MILLION GRANT TO HELP INDUSTRY REDUCE WASTE IN THE NORTHERN RIVERS Southern Cross University is spearheading a new circular economy management initiative for the NSW Northern Rivers in partnership with industry that will reduce waste while creating jobs and driving innovation.

The new Northern Rivers Regional Circular Economy Accelerator – ReCirculator for short – has received $2 million from the federal government in the inaugural round of the new Strategic University Reform Fund (SURF).

It is one of 10 projects approved and one of two in regional Australia.

The ReCirculator will act as a broker, supporting information exchange, research, and technology implementation to accelerate adoption of circular economy principles in key sectors by: • providing access to the technical facilities and expertise of Southern Cross University and its research partners for waste characterisation,

laboratory testing of resource recovery potential, and pilotscale validation and optimisation of suitable technology prior to commercial adoption • providing technoeconomic modelling expertise to identify commercially viable solutions • acting as a technology broker and clearinghouse, exploiting links between Southern Cross University and other technology and research providers in Australia and internationally • establishing a regional waste database, network, and forum to exchange information and ideas.

A circular economy seeks to integrate economic growth with the sustainable use and reuse of natural resources.

Headquartered at the University’s Lismore campus, ReCirculator will deliver four demonstration projects that apply circular

economy principles in manufacturing, agriculture and food production.

Industry partners North East Waste, Lismore City Council, the Casino Food Co-op and Richmond Dairies are all onboard.

Deputy Vice President (Research) Professor Mary Spongberg said the University was wellpositioned to steer the two-year demonstration project.

“The ReCirculator builds on existing relationships and expertise and will apply new technologies to reduce production costs, focusing on industrial organic waste streams.

“Southern Cross researchers Professor Andrew Rose and Associate Professor Dirk Erler, who have track records in the application of circular economy solutions with industrial organics waste emanating from food production, with recently completed projects for the Northern Co-operative Meat Company, Richmond Dairies and Norco, will lead the initiative,” said Professor Spongberg.

The ReCirculator

will act as a growth driver by supporting the adoption of circular economy innovation in key regional industries to reduce costs of production, regenerating resources into value-add materials, and enabling the creation of new jobs in the Northern Rivers region.

Mr Ben Roche, Vice President (Engagement) at Southern Cross University said better waste management choices and practices were a priority for both consumers and industry.

“In partnership with large food processors in the Northern Rivers region and through prior CRC (Cooperative Research Centre)

experience, we have defined a key gap in the R&D ecosystem: the establishment of technoeconomic feasibility that results in a business case for large scale adoption of new circulator technologies.

“The ReCirculator will help local businesses reduce and reuse waste, with significant economic and environmental benefits. Closing the loop on waste is good for business and for the region.

“It’s also a win for our local students and researchers who will be working closely with local businesses on real-world solutions to real-world challenges,”

said Mr Roche.

Strategic University Reform Fund (SURF) The Department of Education, Skills and Employment is investing $40 million in funding over four years to create the Strategic University Reform Fund (SURF).

This initiative will encourage universities to undertake novel reform in areas of federal government priority and enable universities to develop targeted and innovative solutions that are focused on local communities.

SURF projects will: • Create strong links between higher education institutions and business and industry • Enhance collaboration between universities and local employers • Improve commercialisation of applied research • Enable government to work with the sector to respond to local priorities.

More than $22 million has been allocated to fund 10 projects in the first round.

Colour explodes in new exhibition: Gallery hosts iconic artist Ken Done A new exhibition by one of Australia’s most recognisable artists, Ken Done AM, titled Up to 80 will be on display at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre from Friday 1 October to Sunday 28 November 2021, COVID-19 restrictions permitting.

The exhibition will bring together a vivid collection of works completed by Done from the last two decades.

Known for his vibrant and colourful depictions of iconic Australian scenes from Sydney Harbour and sun-drenched beaches to tropical coral reefs and the Outback, Done captures the essence of how it feels to be Australian.

“My paintings are quite unashamedly a response to the great joy of living in Australia,” Done said.

Done held his first exhibition at the age of 40, and since then, he has held more than 100 solo shows, including

major exhibitions in Australia, Europe, Japan and the USA. His works have been displayed in the Archibald, Sulman, Wynne, Blake, and Dobell Prizes.

Now at the age of 81, he continues to work with the same passion and vigour, working from his idyllic harbourside studio “the cabin” at Chinamans Beach in Sydney. With

no plans to retire, Done will wield his brushes and oil crayons until he “falls off the twig”.

Amber Creswell Bell, author of Ken Done: Art Design Life wrote, “if you were to ask Ken how long it takes him to complete a painting, he will tell you ‘roughly 80 years’. He’ll also tell you that at age 81 he’s a much better painter than he was at 40, and

we should probably wait to see how good he is at 90.”

Gallery Director Susi Muddiman OAM said, “We are delighted to host this exhibition of beautiful work by iconic and well-loved Australian artist Ken Done.”

“This exhibition will represent many of the artist’s favourite and best-loved subjects, and

I am certain the colourful and fun works will bring joy to our visitors – something we all need a bit of right now.”

The Gallery will host Ken Done in conversation with writer and curator Amber

Creswell Bell on Friday 19 November at 5:30 pm.

LIVE AND LOCAL TWEED IS MUSIC TO THE EARS OF ARTISTS: PROJECT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR MUSICIANS IN CHALLENGING TIMES The opportunity to enjoy live music has been severely limited by current COVID-19 lockdown restrictions however a new project on the Tweed promises to be music to the ears of artists and fans.

Council is launching Live and Local Tweed which aims to support the growth of the local live music scene and help it thrive when COVID restrictions ease by providing more performance spaces, professional development and clear, supportive rules for local performers.

If you want to get involved, Council is calling for expressions of interest in joining a Community Working Group to provide input and help shape the project.

The project has been drawn up in response to needs identified by the music industry and includes 3 key elements:

An exciting new program - Live and Local Tweed - has been launched to help promote live music on the Tweed when COVID-19 restrictions ease.

• A series of professional development workshops • A free micro-festival / small scale music gigs in local venues • An industry forum event to support consideration for the music sector across relevant Council plans, policies, and

strategies.

Council’s Cultural Planner Dave Burgener said the live music sector had been one of the hardest hit industries over the past year and the Live and Local Tweed program aimed to stimulate employment opportunities for musicians.

“The program will

help create more paid work for musicians in the Tweed when we come out of restrictions, particularly for young and emerging artists,” he said.

“Council is partnering with the Live Music Office to develop a consistent approach to best practice live music presentation, better

regulation and policy that builds growth through all levels of the sector.

“It also provides opportunities to collaborate with peak bodies such as Music NSW and APRA AMCOS, who will both contribute to aspects of the project.

“This approach to

presenting live music reflects best practice in the industry and will provide clear career pathways for new and emerging musicians and industry professionals and help the venuebased sector to grow by implementing better local regulation and policy.”

To nominate for the Community Working Group visit the Live and Local Tweed page at Your Say Tweed.

Applications close by 11:59 pm on Monday 4 October 2021.

Additional information about the dates, times, and content of the program will be announced in the coming months.

Live and Local Tweed is presented by Tweed Shire Council in partnership with the Live Music Office and APRA AMCOS.

ANGLICARE NORTH COAST RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION Anglicare North Coast has received national recognition for Excellence in the Anglicare Australia National Awards.

This award recognises outstanding services, projects and programs provided by Anglicare organisations all over Australia. The recent development and creation of Empowering Practices received first place in the prestigious award.

Empowering Practices has been developed for organisations wanting to improve their practice when it comes to inclusion and

diversity. Empowering Practices is an online toolkit for front line workers, members of the community, managers, and tertiary students to learn and improve how we work together to develop empowering and social inclusive communities.

The resource was developed from the learnings and partnership with Louise Whitaker, Mandy Hughes and Barbara Rugendyke, Southern Cross University, following four years of academic research investigating empowerment and

inclusion of women from migrant and refugee backgrounds who have settled in regional New South Wales.

We wanted to share our learnings beyond our local network, so Empowering Practices was designed as an online resource. Being a regional service provider, we know how difficult it can be to access affordable and relevant training.

Having it packaged as an online learning tool makes it widely available to any worker in any context, said Leon Ankersmit CEO

Anglicare North Coast.

We are probably one of the smallest Anglicare organisations in Australia, so we are thrilled to receive this recognition.

The Empowering Practices material is evidence based and supported by relevant literature and grounded in the reflective practices of our teams of staff who examined their practices with researchers from Southern Cross University. The Empowering Practices content comes to life through the web-based delivery mode, making

it accessible, interactive, audio-visual, and easily navigable.

The Empowering Practices online resource promotes the inclusion, safety and hence, wellbeing of vulnerable communities in rural and regional Australia.

This national award demonstrates impact and success of the ANC and SCU partnership, said Louise Whitaker, PHD Senior Lecturer, Social Work Course Coordinator - Bachelor of Social Welfare, Bachelor of Community Welfare & Bachelor of Social Work.

Anglicare North

Coast would like to extend their thanks to clients, program participants, staff and SCU researchers who contributed and brought this resource to life. Anglicare North Coast’s CEO reflected; it really has been a truly collaborative project with incredible results.

The Empowering Practices toolkit is a web-based toolkit that teaches practice principles to promote empowerment when working with diversity. The kit is available via www. anglicarenorthcoast.org.

Councilor Demands More Protection for the Regions from the NSW Government

Councilor James Owen has slammed a television production company and a crew member on the ITV show ‘I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here’ for their actions which have put the Tweed Shire back into lockdown and caused the tightening of NSW / QLD border restrictions.

“I welcome the news that the individual has been charged for failing to comply with the health directive, but it is too little too late.

“The selfish actions of this individual, and lack of action and oversight by their employer, have plunged Tweed Shire into lockdown.

People are furious, and rightfully so. I am

furious.”

“I have been inundated with people coming to me who are absolutely shocked and appalled that this has been allowed to happen”.

“We all have a responsibility to do the right thing particularly in these times and particularly in a Shire where things are so sensitive given our border situation with QLD. “ITV had a responsibility to ensure that their employees were adhering to the rules, and they clearly did not do that. Equally the crew-member has a responsibility to make sure that if they are required to follow the stay-at-home rules, then that is exactly what they do and refrain from gallivanting around the Tweed Shire on a pub crawl.

“As a member of the NSW Liberal Party Rural

and Regional Committee and the Business NSW Regional Advisory Council, I know firsthand the challenges that our regions face, at the best of times. However, with COVID we face a whole new set of challenges including the fact that our economies cannot cope with continuous lockdowns, and that our health systems would not cope with a COVID outbreak.

“Since July 2020 I have been calling on the NSW Government to stop people coming from hotspots such as Sydney to protect the regions – they have a responsibility to protect us and currently not enough is being done to stop COVID coming here.

The recent implementation of permits, tightening of legislation and harsher penalties for travel to the regions is too little, too

late. If these measures had been implemented when I first called for it, almost 15 months ago, the systems could have been bedded down and this lockdown could have been avoided.

“The current permit system clearly isn’t working and must be overhauled, and the NSW Government must, as a matter of urgency, review the definition of what is considered essential work.

“Should this person have been granted an exemption to travel from Australia’s biggest hotspot to a place where there has never been a COVID case!?

Absolutely not!

“How can the NSW Government deem someone working on a television production to be an essential worker?!

Are they suggesting that nobody from the Tweed, or even the North Coast, has the skills or

experience to be able to undertake the work that this person was coming here to do?!

“In addition is it ‘essential’ for people to travel here to inspect property?! I think not.

“Our Tweed Shire is in such a delicate and precarious position with our proximity to the QLD border and the impacts that the border closures are having on our economy, our ability to function as a community and on our mental health, are devastating.

“Once again the community feels like we are at the mercy of a Sydney focused Government where places like Tweed Shire are an afterthought.

“I’m also calling on the NSW Government to, as a priority, develop and implement a plan for when the vaccination rates hit 70% and 80% across the State. As

soon as that happens people from Sydney are going to start flooding into the regions and the Tweed Shire will undoubtedly be very popular. However, our vaccination rates at that point will likely be lower than those of Greater Sydney and I’m deeply concerned about what that will mean if COVID infected people are visiting us here in the Tweed.

The NSW Government needs to implement a staggered and targeted approach to opening NSW on an LGAby-LGA basis that considers, not only on vaccination rates, but also other things such as proximity to other state borders and our ability to function as a cross border community.

‘FRIENDS BUBBLE’

NCCH ANNOUNCED AS FINALIST

IN NORTHERN RIVERS

REGIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS NCCH has been recognised for its commitment and achievements in providing affordable housing, social housing, and specialist homelessness support services, as a finalist for Outstanding Community Organisation in the 2021 Northern Rivers Regional Business

CREATED FOR CHILDREN TO ALLOW HOME

Awards.

“We are excited to be recognised as a finalist for outstanding community organisation and are proud of the work we do every day to deliver excellence in service to those most in need in the Northern Rivers”, said NCCH CEO, John McKenna.

NCCH has been a local community

housing provider in the Northern Rivers for over 30 years and provides homes for those in the community as well as opportunities to empower and support individuals to create positive futures for themselves and build positive neighbourhoods.

VISITS IN TIME FOR SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

GARDENERS REJOICE: POPULAR

Children and teenagers aged 18 years and under will be able to create a ‘friends bubble’ to allow home visits provided the adults in their homes are fully vaccinated, under an easing of restrictions for school holidays.

From 12 noon today, 21 September, people aged 18 years and under who live in stay-athome areas and areas of concern across NSW will be able to create a bubble of three friends and visit each other’s homes for play and activity, subject to the following conditions: · Each child is allowed to have two designated friends come to their house.

These two friends must always be the same, creating a three-person “friends bubble”. · All people older than 18 years in all the households must be fully vaccinated. · The friends must reside within 5km of each other or in the same LGA; and · If parents/carers are

dropping children off, they must not stay to interact with other parents or carers.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said our strong vaccination rate has allowed us to make this change to support the wellbeing of young people.

“Parents and children have had a difficult few months, trying to balance both work, often from home, as well as home schooling,” Ms. Berejiklian said.

“This change will hopefully make a big difference for families during the school holidays and allow young children and teenagers to catch up and reconnect with their friends.”

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said at all times, the government has tried to strike a balance between the best possible health outcomes, whilst easing the pressures on families and individuals living in lockdown.

“These latest changes are aimed at

giving children more opportunities to be together and balances COVID safety with their mental health and wellbeing,” Mr Hazzard said.

Minister for Education and Early Childhood Sarah Mitchell said this change would also benefit older students, allowing them to create a study bubble ahead of the HSC. “Year 12 students have had a stressful few months, and with the HSC approaching, a study bubble is a great idea to help students maintain motivation, receive support from a classmate and continue their preparation for the upcoming exams,” Ms. Mitchell said.

After a two-year break, the popular BIOcycle Compost is again on sale from the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre and Nimbin Transfer Station, Lismore City Council’s Manager of Commercial Services David Hanna said.

“This is great news for home gardeners and our local agricultural industry,” he said.

“Unfortunately, after the 2019 fire at our waste facility, we had to stop producing compost until we could repair the damaged compost pad area. We have now done this work and have made a few other improvements to our processing system to ensure the quality of our certified organic BIOcycle compost is of high standard.

“As the processed materials take time to break down into compost, the quantity available to the public will be limited at first but will increase as more is ready to be bagged up ready for home gardens.”

At the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre, Councils is closing the loop on our organics recycling, turning the region’s food and garden scraps into a nutrient-rich BIOcycle compost for local farms and backyard gardens.

Once the contents from kerbside organics bins are brought to the Recycling & Recovery Centre, the material is stockpiled into rows on the composting pad.

Food and garden waste is shredded and then processed on an Aerosorb system, which pushes air through the material, speeding up the composting process and keeping it in an aerobic state. Heat and microorganisms assist in the composting and killing off any pathogens and weed seeds.

The composted material is then graded and screened to remove plastics and other inorganic materials, and is tested for quality assurance before being released for sale.

The result is a 10mm

BIOcycle compost product which is certified organic (BFA Registered Product 11538AI) and can be purchased via the Lismore & Nimbin Revolve Shops.

The price of a 15kg/20L bag costs is $14. Limited amounts of bulk compost are also available and delivery can be arranged.

The bags will be available for purchase from the Lismore and Nimbin Revolve Shops Friday, 24 September.

The operating hours of the Revolve Shop are Wednesday and Friday 9am to 2pm on Saturday 9am to 1pm.

The operating hours of the Nimbin Transfer Station are 8am to 3pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

HIBISCUS MOTEL GIVEN

IRON GATES DA ON PUBLIC EXHIBITION

GO-AHEAD FOR RENOVATIONS

By Tonia Dynan CONSTRUCTION will start on renovations at the Hibiscus Motel in Lawson Street, Byron Bay, with Byron Shire Council approving the modifications recently.

The motel will now be able to add eight additional motel units, remove the ground and third floor swimming pools, and add on a roof-top swimming pool and recreation area.

The modifications to the 46-room motel were lodged in August last year.

Representing the motel, development manager Kasi Chong said the business was approved for a hotel redevelopment in 2015.

“We’re grateful to council staff for all the hard work that has brought us to this point where we have a recommendation for approval,” she said.

There was some back and forth from councilors, and the motel management, with issues arising over the roof-top area, including capacity, operational hours of the pool and the use of alcohol on the roof.

“At capacity we

will have 102 guests across 51 rooms. Our original application is for a maximum of 100 on the rooftop, for guests only with a swipe card access,” Ms. Chong said.

“Even with a foursquare metre rule, the rooftop could accommodate 125.

To limit the rooftop to 30 guests poses a problem, including false advertising to advertise a pool that only 30 per cent of our guests get to visit.

“The damage to our brand and the Byron brand would be considerable. It is not normal practice to turn guests away from their own pool.

“During Covid we have found that at our other tourist businesses in Byron that we need outdoor area more than ever. Guests do not venture out as much, yet they will spend time on site.”

Ms. Chong said a detailed acoustic report showed that predicted noise generated on the rooftop complied with the EPA noise limits for all periods of the day, including up to 10pm.

“Lastly we request the removal of the no alcohol restrictions on

the rooftop. Guests will pay a considerable amount of money to stay with us, let alone travel to Byron,” she said.

“If they want to enjoy a drink from their minibar in the afternoon, or under the stars on the rooftop, it feels unnecessary, and even unAustralian to restrict it.

“There’s never been a noise complaint received at Waves or Hibiscus Motel, from any adjoining neighbours including 31 Lawson Street.

We have a 24-hour management and security.”

“We are excited to create this high-end luxury accommodation in the heart of Byron, and we ask that you please don’t delay this modification.”

The rooftop hours of use will be restricted between 7am and 10pm and the motel will be required to keep a complaints register.

The issue regarding the capacity was resolved with the rooftop being open to guests only and the alcohol restrictions were dropped.

THE Iron Gates residential subdivision development application will be on public exhibition for one month from this Friday, September 24, as is required under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Submissions must be received by 11.30pm Sunday, October 24.

The development application was referred to Richmond Valley Council following the Northern Regional Planning Panel’s acceptance of an amendment to the 2019 application, making it a Concept Development Application containing two stages.

The application states that stage two will be subject to a further development application.

The Northern Rivers Planning Panel is the consent authority for the proposal, lodged by Goldcoral Pty Ltd, which involves land at 240 Iron Gates Drive, Evans Head, including Crown land along the southern Evans River foreshore.

The full Iron Gates published notice, as well as the development

application and supporting documents, can be viewed, or downloaded from the On Exhibition page at https://richmondvalley. nsw.gov.au/ Any person may make a written submission during the exhibition period by sending it to Richmond Valley Council by: • Post - Locked Bag 10 Casino NSW 2470 • Email - council@ richmondvalley.nsw. gov.au • Hand delivery - to either of Council’s Customer Service Centres in Casino and Evans Head • Online - by completing an online submission form via Have Your Say on Council’s website General Manager Vaughan Macdonald said as with all development applications received by council, the Goldcoral Pty Ltd proposal for Iron Gates would undergo a further full professional and technical assessment to ensure it met relevant NSW Government legislation and planning controls, which included referrals to NSW Government agencies

for their advice and feedback.

Mr Macdonald said having all the documentation on public exhibition for one month gave the community an opportunity to have a say on the merits of this development.

“All submissions received from previous exhibitions of this application will be considered as part of the assessment process, however, it should be noted the application has been amended,” he said.

He said anyone could formally submit comments to support or oppose the development application during the exhibition period.

However, he said council would not consider anonymous submissions, and all submissions would be made publicly available on council’s website in their entirety.

“For feedback on a development application to be valid, a submission must be properly made in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act,” Mr Macdonald said.

Annual Walk Brings Community Together Again for Prems For the past 12 years, families, friends and supporters have come together to walk, connect and celebrate, whilst raising money and awareness for families impacted by prematurity.

On Sunday 24 October, the annual Walk for Prems will be held to raise awareness for the 48,000 babies born sick or premature in Australia each year. Now in its twelfth year, Walk for Prems is proudly presented by Baby Bunting and is the largest fundraiser for the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, Australia’s foremost charity dedicated to supporting the families of babies born sick or before 37 weeks’ gestation.

Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s walk will follow a hybrid format which includes three physical walk locations - in Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth - as well as a virtual walk option for those restricted by location.

This format has been designed with a strong emphasis on community safety, to give people freedom and flexibility to participate, regardless of their current situation.

Foundation CEO, Felicia Welstead, says the past twelve months has presented numerous challenges to families, especially those of premature and sick babies, and the foundation recognises the importance of bringing the community together again in support of those families in need.

“In these unprecedented times, parents of premature and sick babies are doing it tough. Without the traditional support network of family and friends, these families are more isolated than ever,” Ms Welstead says.

“The theme of this year’s walk is ‘Together Again for Prems’. And that is exactly what we will be

doing - coming together, both physically and virtually, to raise awareness and much needed funds for families of premature and sick babies.”

Regardless of whether participants will be walking in person or virtually, the day will be run like previous events with an MC, speeches, entertainment, competitions and prizes thanks to the generosity of the Walk for Prems corporate sponsors. A dove ceremony will also take place in remembrance of those families who have lost a baby.

These activities will occur at each of the physical locations as well as being streamed online for those participating virtually.

Ms Welstead says, “Walk for Prems is a wonderfully inclusive and supportive community event and we have planned lots of great activities and competitions throughout the countdown to the event.

Our Instagram and Facebook pages are very active and we have a Walk for Prems Facebook group where people can share tips, their walking routes and connect with other families.”

Key timings on the Day: Welcome: 9.30am Dove ceremony: 10.25am Walk: 10.30am-12.30pm

Thank you, speeches, 12.30pm How to register: People can register themselves or a team through the Walk for Prems website, as well as fund raise: www. walkforprems.org.au. Each registrant will receive a race bib to proudly wear on the day and a 2021 Walk Medal for participating. A selection of Walk merchandise including T-shirts, branded face masks and portable hand sanitiser are available, as well as other Life’s Little Treasures merchandise.

How life’s little treasures helps families: In 2020/2021, the foundation has continued to support as many families as possible despite 6 months of suspended or limited ability to deliver their services, due to lockdowns and limits on volunteers. These services have included offering digital products, running support events for families through social media, and encouraging families to stay connected - particularly in those early uncertain days in hospital, and during the transition to home once they have left the security of hospital.

• Financial Assistance packages to 136 families with a total value of

$30,000 • Information and resources to 149 Hospitals, which included: 11,846 Tip sheets, 5,300 NICU/SCN books, 533 ‘Precious Prem Packs’, 3,214 ‘Little Bag of Calm’ given to new parents, 2,114 ‘My Colourful journey’ sibling colouring in books, 864 ‘My Brave Journey’sibling colouring in books, addressing sibling loss • Supplied 1,620 breakfast boxes with a fortnightly Brekkie Bar available in 6 hospitals • 99 sessions of ‘NICU connections’ Facebook group chat facilitated by trained peer support volunteers with 1,228 people attending in total • 12,630 milestone gifts sent to families in celebration (e.g., Mother ‘s Day, Father’s Day) By registering for Walk for Prems 2021, participants will be assisting Life’s Little Treasures Foundation in continue to provide their products and services to those families in need in 2022.

CELEBRITY LETTERS AND NUMBERS

SBS, 7.35pm

Nine years after Letters and Numbers last graced our screens with new episodes, the format is back with a comedic twist. Its loyal audience, who demanded the show’s return, can let out the victory squeal.

Wordsmith David Astle is back on board, as is maths marvel Lily Serna, with Michael Hing (pictured above with Sema) as the new host. Well-known comedians, including Hamish Blake, Matt Okine, Jennifer Wong, Aaron Chen and Susie Youssef, are upcoming copmpetitors. Tonight, Suren Jayemanne, Jennifer Wong and Merrick Watts are joined by Bridie Connell to put their word and numerical abilities to the test.

Host Sophie Monk (pictured) returns with her dry wit, megawatt smile and bombshell wardrobe for the third season of this reality dating bonanza, but the same can’t be said for the exotic island location promised in the show’s title – previous seasons have taken place in Mallorca and Fiji.

Nevertheless, we’ve all become adept at compromise and adapting during the pandemic, which has closed the door on international travel.

In tonight’s return, the gaggle of singles heads to a villa in northern NSW where they hope to find a match and resist the temptation of new potential partners to win the public’s affection, and the $50,000 prize. It’s no small feat.

THE SCHOOL THAT TRIED TO END RACISM

ABC, 8.30pm

This unflinching three-part series, concluding tonight, has afforded viewers uncomfortable truths about the complexities of racism and identity in Australia. At the same time, these moments have been uplifted by the unaffected honesty of the school kids in this unique experiment. Tonight, award-winning journalist Marc Fennell (pictured, The Feed, Mastermind Australia), along with the team of educators and race experts, are moved by their findings. The children learn how to stand up against racism and share their diverse cultures. Former AFL player and journalist Tony Armstrong also educates the kids about race in the media.

!""#$%&'(!$)*%+"%,-.)/0%$)%/"112%0-'&".'

Woolgoolga ‘Woopi’ Brewing Co. is set to open this weekend on the Coffs Harbour coast.

Opening a brewery is not for the faint-hearted, according to general manager, Sarah Poole.

“We’ve been working on this for so long, and underestimated a little.

But to get a 200-patron venue, a Brewtique 15HL system, it’s massive. So we really have needed the support of shareholders and our families,” Poole explained.

Led by a group of shareholders including Sarah and Ryan Poole and Aaron and Jacqui Dobner, the brewpub is also supported by founder and former CEO of Mornington Peninsula Brewery, Matt Bebe.

“He’s a shareholder in the business and Matt has come on board to help strategically and make sure we have the right things in place.

“Microbreweries undertaking this process, it’s a significant process and having people like Matt is absolutely critical,” Poole said.

While the development application was initially submitted in August 2019, the idea to open a brewery on the Coffs Harbour coast first conceived long ago.

“We [Ryan and I] come from the Mornington Peninsula originally and really loved the concept and the way small microbreweries were popping up here [in Coffs Harbour].

“We also knew a few people down there in the industry. So we’ve been working on this

plan before we moved.

Aaron and Jacqui also wanted a family-friendly microbrewery that could appeal to the local community,” she explained.

After moving to Woolgoolga, the Pooles, along with the rest of the team, decided to capitalise on the growth boom occurring in the region.

“New people are coming into the region with lots of families moving here. So we wanted to have a space to cater to that.”

The brewpub Licenced for 200 people, the brewpub sits at 7 Willis Road in Woolgoolga with the primary goal focusing on providing customers an authentic experience.

“Our focus is absolutely on the local community for the experience of going to a brewery. Smelling the beer, understanding how it’s made and enjoying time out with friends and

family.

“There’s not a lot of options for people to do much in this region.

Whether that’s people who are retired, or young families, we want to provide that for the community,” Poole said.

However, the journey from planning to development hasn’t been without its difficulties, with council issues and COVID threatening to halt progress.

“It was challenging.

Particularly, because this is a new thing. Coffs Council have not gone through the process of having a microbrewery before, so we thought we would be trail blazers.

“But King Tide Brewing is another one that’s about to open around here which is fantastic.”

Equipment from overseas took longer than expected to arrive due to COVID, however it turned out to be a positive step for the team, according to Poole.

Lion offers full parental leave to workers Less than a week after Equal Pay Day, Lion has upped the ante on gender equality, becoming one of the first Australian FMCG companies to offer paid leave to all new parents, regardless of their parenting role, and providing an additional six weeks’ superannuation on unpaid parental leave, taking total coverage to 18 weeks.

Announcing that the brewer would offer full parental leave to all workers eliminating the distinction between primary and secondary carers, Lion CEO Stuart

Irvine said that these labels entrenched a two-speed approach to parenting from a child’s earliest days.

“The Workplace Gender Equality Agency have identified primary and secondary carer labels, which are still commonplace in most businesses, as a major driver of inequality in Australian workplaces,” Mr Irvine said.

“Requiring a couple to nominate a primary carer at the start of parenthood immediately sets up an unequal division of labour within the household, which in many cases

produces barriers down the track to integrating mothers back into the workforce.

“Discrimination between primary and secondary carers is not helpful from the point of view of the couple or the business, and we’re proud to be one of the first major Australian companies to move beyond these labels to a model where both parents are eligible for full paid parental leave – which in Lion’s case is twelve weeks.

“It’s not only a win for mothers – it eliminates a major barrier for fathers

“For us here in New South Wales, we now have a roadmap out of lockdown. It would have been challenging opening up six months ago, in the middle of COVID, with impending lockdowns,” she said.

Lockdown restrictions were lifted on 10th September in Woolgoolga and once they did, the team worked to move closer to an opening date.

“We were really uncertain. As soon as we came out, we thought, if we pull out all the stops, can we open? Once we figured it out, we thought, let’s not delay it anymore.”

For anyone wanting to open a brewery, Poole offered a piece of advice.

“Never underestimate the funding. We certainly knew that but we still smashed our budget. That’s where having advice is really important.

“A microbrewery like ours, there’s a whole lot

that goes into it. It’s not just about beer. It’s about operations, customers and food, ” she said.

While this advice is key for any emerging business, it’s especially important for the craft beer industry, according to Poole.

“Beer is a whole other thing. Whilst it can be challenging, having the right people is key.

“It’s also beneficial if those people involved have the right skills.

That’s what we aim to do with our founding shareholders to help the business succeed from the get go.”

The future In terms of the beer, with Aaron Dobner helming the role of head brewer, the brewery plans to open with a series of choices for punters, including a Japanese lager, pale ale, IPA and an amber ale or a red ale mixed hybrid.

“We really wanted to start with enough variety to show what

craft breweries are all about. The beer will be amazing, but our plan is to be a family friendly space for the community first,” Poole said.

While future plans for Woopi are not set in stone, the team aims to expand upon the brewery experience by including live music and creative arts.

“We have great plans for our outdoor areas to provide different types of functions and really, it would be about spaces for people to come in spades and if we can do that, just to make a success of the location and have the community involved, we’d be really happy,” Poole said.

But for now, the team is focused on opening and providing for the local community.

“Given that COVID has been challenging, it feels wonderful to contribute economically to our community and support for local trade.

“We’ve made a real effort to engage everyone in the local community so for us, that idea of community working with businesses within regions is important to us.

“So for us, coming into summer and coming out of COVID, it will be really great for us to be there for the local community.”

Woolgoolga ‘Woopi’ Brewing Co. will open this Saturday, 25th September at 7 Willis Road in Woolgoolga.

who want to be more hands on in parenting their young children.”

Mr Irvine said that the policy also had the potential to bring about a step-change in corporate culture around parenthood, fostering a more balanced understanding amongst male leaders of the implications of parenting on a worker’s career path, and breaking down any remaining invisible recruitment bias against women of child-bearing age.

The second initiative announced by Lion aims to address a serious, yet often unacknowledged aspect of the gender pay

gap – the discrepancy in superannuation savings between men and women.

Women currently retire with 47% less superannuation than men, despite living five years longer on average.

“The problem is not simply that women are typically paid less,” Mr Irvine said.

“Any parent – to this point typically the mother – who takes unpaid leave to care for their children also misses out on superannuation contributions for that time period, and the effect of these missing contributions compounds over the course of their career.”

“For a relatively small upfront investment we can move to address a major source of pay inequality for women in the workforce.”

Lion first identified and then closed its like-for-like gender pay gap in 2017 and has successfully kept the gap closed since.

The company has been a WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality since 2019 and CEO Stuart Irvine is a WGEA Equal Pay Ambassador and joined the Champions of Change Coalition in March 2021.

Lion’s new leave policies will come into effect from 1 October.

!"#$%&'#(%(#)*+%(,)-%#")&!).%/-('0% 1/2'-$ 2 2$ 2%# $ *$'3$%)-24$# 2 Australia’s leading professional accounting body has published ten questions it says governments must answer to give businesses the certainty they need to re-open or continue trading under state and territory roadmaps.

CPA Australia says that without answers to these questions (listed below), some businesses may remain closed or restrict their trading even after lockdowns end, uncertain about what they can and can’t do.

“Re-opening roadmaps are a positive development and we’re keen to see more of them,” said CPA Australia Chief Executive Andrew Hunter. “But so far they’ve raised many unanswered questions.

“Uncertainty creates risks that have potential costs and consequences. Each business must factor these into its decision on re-opening and how to trade.

“We’re aware of regional businesses which are choosing not to open now, even though they can, because the uncertainty is too great.

“After speaking with our members and business owners, we’ve created a list of questions about roadmaps which are causing the greatest uncertainty for businesses.

“Although businesses can obtain legal advice

CPA Australia CEO Andrew Hunter

for some questions, this creates an undue burden, especially for small businesses.

“Governments must answer these questions.

They should not leave it to the private sector to muddle its way through. If they don’t provide answers, you’re likely to have as many different approaches as there are businesses in Australia.”

CPA Australia will

raise these questions in our meetings with state and territory governments. We’re confident answers will be provided eventually, but we want the flow of information expedited to set businesses up for a successful re-opening.

“It’s going to take time for businesses to meet new COVIDsafe and vaccination requirements and adequately train their

employees. The more time they have to work through these issues, the better prepared they’ll be.”

We’re also calling on governments to ensure answers to roadmap questions are readily accessible.

“One of the problems we’re seeing, which has been a systemic issue since the pandemic began, is that information is held by numerous government

departments, agencies and organisations.

“Businesses are chasing their tails trying to figure out where to go for answers. This increases the likelihood that mistakes will be made and there will be compliance breaches.

“Ideally, we’d like each state and territory to develop a one stop shop of detailed roadmap answers for businesses.”

Businesses and their customers 1. Once lockdown restrictions ease, what businesses and venues will be required to deny entry or in-person services to unvaccinated people?

2. Other than businesses required to serve vaccinated people only, can any other businesses deny entry or in-person services to unvaccinated people?

3. Can businesses request information on the vaccination status of a customer before allowing them entry or providing services?

4. If a person has a medical exemption from being vaccinated, can the business ask for proof, and is the person required to provide it to gain entry or services?

Businesses and their employees 5. Can businesses require employees and contractors to undertake a rapid antigen test immediately before starting a shift or providing in-person services?

6. If vaccination is mandated for an industry, can the business terminate or stand down employees who refuse to be vaccinated, and does this change if vaccination is not mandated for an industry?

7. Can businesses request evidence of an employee’s or contractor’s vaccination status before allowing them into the workplace?

8. Once the 80 per cent fully vaccinated level is reached, if individual employees are required to quarantine, can the business stand them down and, if so, will government financial support be available to these employees?

Managing future closures 9. Once the 80 per cent fully vaccinated level is reached, if an employee, contractor or customer of a business is a confirmed COVID case, will all close contacts of the infected person need to quarantine for 14 days?

10. If a business is required by government to close due to a targeted lockdown, or quarantining of employees or contractors who are close contacts, and this significantly disrupts turnover, what financial support will be available to that business?

MORE THAN $1M HITS THE GROUND IN RURAL

COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY Ninety locally-led initiatives that are set to strengthen remote, rural and regional communities across Australia are sharing in $1,057,044 in funding, thanks to FRRR’s Strengthening Rural Communities (SRC) grant program.

A full list of grant recipients is available https://frrr.org.au/ blog/2021/09/22/ more-than-1m-hitsthe-ground-in-ruralcommunities-acrossthe-country/#SRCrd9.

In New South Wales, 28 projects that will bolster the resilience of the state’s rural regions have been given a boost, sharing in a total of $414,044 in grants.

The SRC program supports a broad array of projects that address locally determined needs and priorities of smaller remote, rural, and regional communities, including places impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires.

For communities affected by the Black Summer bushfires, 34 community-led projects are sharing $602,958 in grants through SRC’s Bushfire Recovery stream of funding.

These grants range from $2,618 for a communications upgrade for the Rocky Glen community in New South Wales, to $25,000 for a project that will improve the safety and security of the community hall at Tamrookum in Queensland.

A further $454,086 in grants have been awarded through SRC’s Small & Vital funding stream to 56 projects that local communities have prioritised for their long-term viability and vitality. Funding ranges from $550 for an equipment safety upgrade for the Riding for the Disabled WA group at Mount Barker in Western Australia, through to $10,000 for a grief support program for young people in Drysdale, Victoria.

Natalie Egleton,

CEO of FRRR, said FRRR is seeing a wide range of requests from across the country, reflecting the diverse needs in each place.

“Rural communities continue to inspire and move forward despite the numerous difficulties they’ve faced and the uncertainty ahead.

They want something to hope for, to build towards, and we continue to be here to support and celebrate their achievements and are ready to walk with them through any challenges they may be dealing with, or to harness any opportunities they have in front of them.

“With COVID-19 restrictions still being unpredictable, we want groups to know that if you have received a grant from us and, for whatever reason, you have had to delay, postpone, or cancel your project, please reach out to our team.

We want to work with you to adapt or redefine your project so that the funding stays in your community,” Ms Egleton explained.

With the 2021-22 bushfire season approaching, disaster preparedness is

key, especially for those communities devastated by the 2019-20 bushfires.

“Being better prepared means different things for different places. For some, this means improving access to community meeting places, for others it’s ensuring they have

the proper equipment and training so that volunteers can protect and support their community through a disaster event. But for some places, preparedness means completely rebuilding community infrastructure that was lost due to the bushfires,” Ms Egleton

said.

“We are pleased to be able to provide this support to the communities that have been affected by the fires. And we’ll continue to support them as time goes on and their needs evolve and change.”

Some of the 28 NSW projects awarded

include (See below table): A full list of grant recipients is available on FRRR’s website. https://frrr.org.au/ blog/2021/09/22/ more-than-1m-hitsthe-ground-in-ruralcommunities-acrossthe-country/#SRCrd9 The SRC program is collaboratively supported by a number of generous donors, which are listed on FRRR’s website. https://frrr. org.au/funding/place/ strengthening-ruralcommunities/#proudlysupported-by The next round of SRC applications is currently being assessed and will be announced in December. The current round is accepting applications until 23 November 2021, with funds to be awarded in March 2022.

COUNTRY VOICE NEEDED ON PHONE WOES NSW Farmers has put out the call for people in rural and regional areas to have their say on worsening phone and internet services.

A recent survey of NSW Farmers members found roughly two thirds of respondents experienced a slight to significant decline in mobile network coverage and internet connectivity.

Unsurprisingly, more than 78 per cent were unsatisfied with their mobile phone coverage, with on-farm connectivity rated particularly bad.

NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee Chair Garry Grant said the organisation was actively seeking case studies they could present to the federal government’s Regional Telecommunications Independent Review, and he hoped the weight of evidence would be too big to ignore.

“We rely on farmers to produce the food we eat, but every day they’re

struggling with the basics of modern life,” Mr Grant said.

“NSW Farmers needs every member who’s having a problem to have their say so we can go to the government and tell them exactly where the problems are so they can be fixed.

“How on earth are we supposed to keep up

with the rest of the world when on the farm you’d nearly be better off with two tin cans and a length of string?”

Many of the modern tools of business – such as two-factor authentication for banking – rely on a mobile phone service, but some respondents said even the process of

receiving a text-message code was patchy.

Mr Grant said it was beyond time the government took the needs of country people seriously.

“We may not have all the people, but we grow all the food, and we’re just as important as any other group in society,” Mr Grant said.

“You need a decent phone and internet connection these days, things like working from home or home schooling were a challenge for people in Balmain, let alone Brewarrina.

“We know we live outside the city and our members have bought the boosters and aerials they need – now it’s

time for the Telcos and government to step up and do their part to keep Australia’s farms working.”

NSW Farmers members who want to lend their voice to the organisation’s submission to the inquiry can fill out an online form or call our Rural Affairs policy team on 1300 794 000. You can also make a submission directly through the inquiry website (www. rtirc.gov.au). People who don’t have reliable access to internet or phone services can make a submission to the inquiry by sending their mail to the address below: 2021 Regional Telecommunications Review Secretariat Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications GPO Box 594 CANBERRA, ACT 2601

FREE WHS SAFETY ADVICE FOR FARMING BUSINESSES The NSW Government and NSW Farmers have launched a workplace safety program providing education and advice to the agriculture industry to help reduce farm-related death, injury, and disease.

Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation Kevin Anderson said the NSW Government has invested $2 million over four years for the Farm Safety Advisory Program to support farming businesses in

developing an effective work health and safety culture and keeping workers safe.

“This $2 million investment from the NSW Government is part of our mission to create a safer and stronger regional NSW. All NSW small to medium farming operations with fewer than 50 workers are eligible to participate in this free program,” Mr Anderson said.

“The agriculture sector is the backbone of our

regional economies and is a significant employer in regional communities.

It is imperative as a government we do everything we can to support farm workers and keep them safe.

“The program will improve farm safety practices by providing education directly to farming businesses.

This allows the NSW Government to continue to work alongside the agriculture industry on a wide range of farmrelated safety issues.”

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said working life on the farm includes a diverse range of safety risk factors.

“Farming is a rewarding but potentially dangerous occupation; the more we talk and learn how to manage the risks and dangers, the better,” Mr Jackson said.

“The Farm Safety Advisory Program is a winner for me and other farmers in achieving this. The program has

!"#$%& '()*%*+"#&+ *,*-%.$+."$$/%

dedicated advisors who can provide support, advice, and resources to improve WHS on farms.

“A session with an advisor can be delivered in various settings, including your own farm with discussions tailored specifically to your farm business operations.”

Delivery of the program will start on Tuesday 28 September with a Harvest Ready webinar from 6-7pm and the launch of the phone call back and email service.

The program’s COVID safe methods will enable one-on-one and group participation to occur through both face-to-face and online interactions as appropriate.

For more information and to register your interest, call NSW Farmers on 1300 764 000 or email nswfarmsafety@ nswfarmers.org.au.

NSW GOVERNMENT RETRAINS TIMBER MILL WORKERS Around 50 timber mill workers in Wagga Wagga who were set to lose their jobs with the relocation of the Big River timber mill have received free training and a personal skills matching service, thanks to the NSW Government’s JobTrainer program.

The workers, some of whom have been employed at the mill for more than 30 years, are ready to re-enter the Wagga Wagga workforce, following Big River’s consolidation of its operations in northern NSW. Deputy Premier John Barilaro said Big River Industries had received

$10 million as part of the NSW Government’s Bushfire Industry Recovery Package in the aftermath of the 2019/20 bushfires.

“Following the devastating 2019/20 bushfires, these funds

helped Big River relocate and expand its existing operations in Grafton,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Now, through the NSW Government’s JobTrainer program, we are retraining those who didn’t take part in

the company’s move north, to support local industries in need of skilled workers.

“People in our regions have been severely impacted by not only the bushfires, but the pandemic that has followed, and the NSW Government is ensuring no worker is left behind.”

Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the work to prepare employees for the mill’s closure will help reduce the economic hit usually linked to a company closing its doors.

“Training Services NSW has worked with

Big River to support each worker who did not relocate north with the company to identify ways that they can upskill and retrain to help find other work,” Mr Lee said.

“The bushfires impacted so many of our regional businesses and industries, and I am committed to ensuring workers have the support to upskill for a new job or better job.”

Maintenance Manager at Big River, Damien Periera, said it was a bittersweet time for workers.

“Ultimately the log supply was in danger and there was not enough to

make the mill viable, but Training Services NSW has been invaluable in making sure our staff are matched to other jobs,” Mr Periera said.

“That is a big relief for any business going through a similar situation in these circumstances. It’s great to know there is NSW Government support available to help people land on their feet.”

BioCarbon Soil launches new online hub for NSW farmers seeking quality compost

BioCarbon Soil has announced the launch of a new online hub for NSW farmers looking to improve the health of their soils through the use of quality composted soil amendments (compost).

The free online hub provides access to relevant case studies, links, and free guidance on how to find, select and use composts in NSW and aims to help farmers learn more about using compost as part of a regenerative agriculture program.

In addition, BioCarbon Soil offers advice to NSW farmers on the type of information they should be asking organic recyclers for and how to interpret that information given

their existing soils and production systems.

According to Angus Johnston, BioCarbon Soil Founder, the launch of the new online hub provides a valuable resource for NSW farmers to better understand what to look for in composts.

“As we move into a circular bioeconomy, there will be more and more composted soil amendments being produced here in NSW and around Australia.

We want farmers to be able to succeed when using these products which is why we have created this online hub,” Angus said.

“Whether farmers are just starting to trial composted soil amendment or are already convinced of

the benefits and looking to build compost into their production system, we can guide them through the process by giving them the right information to make the best choices based on their farm’s needs.”

“We can also help them find organic recyclers who produce the most suitable compost for their land.

And for those seeking more assistance, we offer an affordable compost advisory service for farmers in NSW,” he said.

Building soil organic matter with composted soil amendments improves soil health, increases beneficial soil microbes, and makes nutrients and water more available to crops.

But not all composts

are created equal. And not all composts are fit-for-purpose.

As part of a recent BioCarbon Soil trial, funded through the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s Organics Market Development program, DeBortoli Wines saw a huge improvement in the resilience of their vines, which helped them maintain yields during a bad year.

“The trial with DeBortoli Wines is a great example of how using a compost helps develop soil resilience while avoiding low yields during a tough year,” Angus said.

“In the drought affected 2019-20 season, vines spread with composted mulch maintained 25% higher

yield compared to the control rows, which is an extremely positive outcome,” he said.

Composted soil amendments are more than just fertiliser, turning organic waste into a valuable combination of bio stimulant and stabilised soil organic matter. With the right composting process, the raw stuff turns into dark, crumbly, earthy smelling soil amendment, a product that delivers so much more chicken or cattle manure and wood chips.

BioCarbon Soil also works closely with organic recyclers to improve their process so that they produce the highest quality compost.

Many organic recyclers have been focused on producing products

for landscaping and gardens. In many ways agriculture is a more demanding market requiring even more attention to product quality and performance.

About BioCarbon Soil Considered the ‘go-to’ for advice on highquality composted soil amendments, BioCarbon Soil helps farmers improve and build their soil health for long-term resilience. The compost soil amendment sourced

by BioCarbon Soil is fit for purpose and is checked for nutrient content, grade, maturity and suitability of application.

A PRICKLY PROBLEM

SALES OF CACTI CAUSING HAVOC FOR PEOPLE, PETS, AND PARKS Cactus plants are popular potted and garden plants.

They have an appealing aesthetic, are easy to grow, and thrive on neglect and so what’s not to love?

But certain cactus plants can harm people, pets and parks and it’s important to know what you are buying before you make that purchase.

Prickly pears are fleshy-stemmed cacti with sharp spines or barbed bristles that detach easily from the plants and lodge in skin and eyes. The bristles and spines can injure people as well impale, infect, blind, and even kill native animals, pets, working dogs and livestock. When the plants get out into the environment, they can form impenetrable walls of vegetation that prevent animals from grazing and from accessing shade and water. These types of cacti also reduce the natural beauty of our

parks and outdoor areas.

That’s why it is illegal to sell or swap them in NSW. There are more than

27 species of prickly pear cacti known to be in Australia. Eve’s needle, bunny ears, smooth tree pear and

blind cactus are all types of that unfortunately are still being traded.

NSW Crime Stoppers, Local Land Services and

the NSW Department of Primary Industries have joined forces and are calling for the community to help with two simple messages: Do not sell or swap these plants and if you see them being sold, report it.

“Many people may not know the cacti they see for sale at their local market or online are illegal to sell or trade so we have developed information to help people identify the types of cacti. If you have one of these plants do not sell or swap them.

These cactus infestations cost millions of dollars to control. Stopping the spread is the only way to minimise the devastating impact these plants can cause,” said CEO, NSW Crime Stoppers, Mr Peter Price AM. “Community awareness and action will be crucial in preventing the prohibited selling or swapping of

these plants. We are asking anyone who sees these plants being sold online to report it to NSW Crime Stoppers”, added Mr Price.

Spring usually brings an increase in plant sales, so we are appealing to the public to be on the lookout for trade of these plants, particularly online. On the spot fines of $1,000 and penalties of up to $220,000 can apply if someone is found to be selling or swapping certain types of cacti in NSW. You can help protect people, pets, and parks.

If you see these plants being sold, please report it to NSW Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at https://nsw. crimestoppers.com. We don’t need to know who you are, we just want to know what you know.

A fact sheet is also available at https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au/

GET SET FOR SPRING SELLING

As the spring selling season unfolds, Integrity Systems Company (ISC) is reminding red meat producers that they must meet their integrity requirements under the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program and the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) to ensure their animals are able to be sold.

Dr Jane Weatherley, ISC CEO, said one of the first things producers should check before putting livestock on the market is that their LPA accreditation is up to date.

“To access LPA National Vendor Declarations

(NVDs) required to transport livestock, producers must be LPAaccredited,” Dr Weatherley said.

“Many buyers throughout Australia including saleyards and abattoirs also require producers to be LPAaccredited to sell livestock to them. Producers can check their LPA accreditation is up to date by logging in to their LPA account via myMLA.” Dr Weatherley said producers should also ensure they know how to correctly complete their LPA NVD ahead of transporting livestock for

sale.

“Knowing how to complete LPA NVDs so they are clear, complete and correct is essential, as is making sure you have any consignment forms you may need ready to go for when your livestock’s transport arrives.

“LPA-accredited producers can use the fast and free eNVD system to consign livestock or they can purchase hard copy NVD books through Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA)’s new catalogue of products and services in myMLA. “Using the eNVD system to complete livestock

consignments ensures you are always using the latest version of the NVD and means you can access NVDs online at any time.”

As well, Dr Weatherley said that producers should always check livestock to be sold are prepared for transport well in advance of loading.

“Ensuring livestock are fit to transport and experience minimal stress and contamination during assembly and transport is one of the seven requirements of LPA accreditation.”

“MLA’s national Fit to Load guide is a great resource for producers to

make sure their animals are fit to travel to their next destination.”

When selling and moving livestock, producers must also ensure that livestock can be traced using the NLIS database.

All animals leaving a property identification code (PIC) must be identified with an NLIS-accredited device before moving unless a permit is obtained from a local state or territory authority.

“Producers should check all livestock are identified with the relevant NLIS device well in advance of loading and have spare NLIS devices, including

post-breeder tags, on hand in case livestock do not have a device fitted to them,” Dr Weatherley said “All livestock movements must be recorded in the NLIS database, and the buyer or receiver of the livestock is responsible for recording this movement, unless livestock are bought, sold or moved through a saleyard – in which case the saleyard must record this movement in the NLIS database.

“The vendor/sender of the livestock should still always check the transfer has been completed in the NLIS database.”

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20 Overly confident in the way you express yourself, you run the risk of alienating people with your unthinking attitude towards them.

You’re totally preoccupied with matters that are important to you and concern you alone, and therefore appear very demanding. A far more diplomatic approach is required, make your request in an appropriately polite way and you’re less likely to cause offense. Always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself and create a stressfree environment for all. In your relationship you’re facing a tense time. That’s partly due to you feeling uncertain and rather vulnerable. Try to prevent any arguments by making time for each other, listening to what your partner has to say, and being more sensitive to each other’s wishes. But it’s certainly just as important to express your own wishes; importantly, without complaining.

Taurus Apr 21 - May 21 You are capable of being extremely productive and making a success of whatever you do. However be careful of over-reacting if you feel threatened; you tend to respond bad-temperedly or even insensitively. Hold yourself back if confronted and refrain from making enemies or from the temptation to deliberately provoke others, behavior like this is very unproductive and likely to cause you unwanted problems. Step back from time to time and use your energy both purposefully and thoughtfully!

It’s difficult for you to control your irritability with your partner it seems you’re ready to take every opportunity to argue with them. For the person that loves you, your conduct is a real turn off. You should try, by any conceivable means, to control your anger and be more open to a possible compromise. Otherwise it’s likely that your relationship could be seriously at risk.

Gemini May 22 - June 23 Where ever you go and whoever you meet you’re able to imbue others with your good mood and enthusiasm, as well as assist them in any way that is required. You find nothing is in the least daunting – take this opportunity to deal with outstanding issues both past and present. Make sure you think of creating outcomes that are of benefit to you once in a while! Look out for opportunities that may be on the horizon, if single romance is more likely, who knows; maybe new prospects in love open up. The Gods of love and romance seem to be sitting on your shoulder this week and Cupid is ready to literally shoot off a zillion arrows. If you’re single you can rejoice over any new found romance. If you’re in a relationship, you shouldn’t give in to such temptations.

Why not play a little game with your lover by flirting with strangers; this is bound to spice up your love life.

Cancer Jun 24 - Jul 22 Although you feel confident and ready to make improvements both at work as well as on the home front in ways you have not attempted before. It’s easy for you to lose control and become embroiled in arguments which can cause problems that dent your pride. The maxim to follow is; to think twice before you act and proceed one step at a time with extra caution. Don’t let yourself be so easily provoked, consider situations sensibly before you finally make a decision about the most effective way to proceed.

You encounter difficulties due to your lack of consideration. You feel rather passionate; a quickie is certainly exciting, but not recommended all the time. If you’re able to slightly curb your enthusiasm, the thrill of anticipation makes it worthwhile; give your partner pleasure from sustained love making as well. If single, you need to relax; control your lust and passion.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 23 You’re keyed up, enthusiastic and feel able to accomplish everything you set out to achieve. If you are striving for more professional responsibility, show others what you are capable of, demonstrate your abilities, it’s easy to realize your goals without unsettling those who may previously have felt threatened by your ambition.

Your opinions are acknowledged and the ideas you have on almost any matter accepted. This applies to all discussions; you’re able to convince others of your point of view. You’re getting on very well with those you care about most and it appears you have a lot of positive influence on other people you meet as well.

Even if from time to time, you and your lover seem to disagree, you’re both able to easily find compromises.

Make sure that the romantic side of your relationship is not being overlooked or even completely forgotten.

Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 22 You’re careful and show persistence when dealing with problems. Your increased vitality and improved self-confidence has positive effects on everyone you meet. You’re able to complete any new tasks either alone or as part of a team. As expected, the suggestions you make are acceptable to others who tend to agree with you. Use this influence to achieve your desires, remain steadfast, true to your aims and they’re likely to be met with approval by those people in your life that matter most to you. Your enhanced self–confidence makes you charming; you’re sparkling and have an almost mysterious sex appeal. Your assured presence when you venture out in public has the effect of turning you into the focus of everybody’s attention. If you have a partner you discover new facets of being together that make you feel extremely good about yourself and your lover.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23 Try handling your additional energy with some caution. If you‘re not careful you might become involved in endless conversations that completely waste your time. Focus on projects that are not likely to risk upsetting people that you will probably need in the future. For example, campaigning against your boss will probably be draining and challenging and therefore it may be better to use your surplus energy doing some healthy exercise. Again, the general rule is: Everything in moderation. Your partner finds you exhausting. Your assertiveness is frequently the basis for heated discussions between you. Remember you’re facing the person who you love most! With a little patience and a kiss at the right moment it shouldn’t be too difficult to avoid serious problems in your relationship. You should make use of your energy to stimulate some hot passion!

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 20 Asserting yourself in a meaningful and pleasant manner you’re able to motivate others and if need be respond positively to those who seek your advice. Your reserves of energy stand you in good stead and as long as you prioritize what is important you are likely to succeed. Such an unwavering approach earns you the respect and support of those close to you. You’re able to pay attention to detail, not demand too much, accomplish what you set out to achieve and take full responsibility for the outcome. Being fair-minded about your own interests and those of your lover will bring about mutual respect; especially if you live in a long-term relationship, you’re able to make the necessary compromises that will stand the test of time. If you’re single the chances of success are good too, thanks to your confident appearance you make a lasting impression on those you meet.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 You inspire others with your ideas and plans, your cool, calm and collected approach wins people over and they have little reason to refuse the advances or suggestions you make. Proposals you put forward at work are also met with a favorable response and colleagues, previously difficult to deal with, are willing to listen.

Take this opportunity to develop new strategies you can implement in future, that provide you with a foundation to overcome any tough times that may possible lie ahead of you. This could be a great week for your love life. Whether you’re bringing new thinking into an existing relationship or if you’re single you begin a new relationship – the driving force for this positive change is you! But you need to have a healthy sense of reality. Don’t expect to have unrealistic encounters, or your lover to make an extra special effort, just for your sake alone!

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20 You inspire others with your ideas and plans, your cool, calm and collected approach wins people over and they have little reason to refuse the advances or suggestions you make. Proposals you put forward at work are also met with a favorable response and colleagues, previously difficult to deal with, are willing to listen. Take this opportunity to develop new strategies you can implement in future, that provide you with a foundation to overcome any tough times that may possible lie ahead of you. This could be a great week for your love life. Whether you’re bringing new thinking into an existing relationship or if you’re single you begin a new relationship – the driving force for this positive change is you! But you need to have a healthy sense of reality. Don’t expect to have unrealistic encounters, or your lover to make an extra special effort, just for your sake alone!

Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19 Clearly you are more than cable of expressing your needs and requirements to others. You know what you want and cleverly are able to bring about the outcome you desire. Especially professionally, you’re paving the way for new responsibilities or even a promotion. Your relationships and love life improve immeasurably too, with invitations and proposals making life seem a bit of a whirl. Any physical activities are less of an effort than usual. Put your sneakers and do the exercise you enjoy most. In your love life all options are open and available. If you already have a partner or are still looking for one, you’ll be able to win them over with your sensual qualities and experience a great deal of pleasure together. Energy and harmony will be readily available to you, as well as endurance and self-control.

Enjoy the affectionate time you spend in such a loving embrace.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 21 Practice more self-restraint, far too easily you feel you’re deliberately provoked, even over the slightest matters. Without warning your excess energy erupts in a bad temper. Obviously this isn’t acceptable to those you know, self-discipline and compromise is essential. Such relentless behavior results in problems both at home and at work. Watch out that these excesses don’t become a noticeable feature in other areas of your life. You need to be more self-aware and make sure that it doesn’t.

Concentrate on what is really important, namely your lover or if single - someone you desire! Do not to bring work related issues into your love life. Instead find relaxation and pleasure by snuggling up together or giving each other a comforting massage. Tensions can easily be resolved by lovemaking! Be prepared to make the extra effort when you know it’s needed.

Northern Rivers Golf Croquet Handicap Singles Champion Shane

Hambly Lismore all smiles after winning the final against Chris Wyer Byron Bay. Shane won the final 7/2 showing he is a rising star in the Northern Rivers Area.

Chris although defeated was happy to be runner up as this was his first tournament entered Both Shane and Chris look set for a bright future, and there will be more wins for both players in the future going on their high performance in the tournament.

Shane and Chris are two of a sprinkling of new players to take up croquet in the Northern Rivers Area.

All six local clubs Alstonville, Casino, Lismore, Byron Bay, Ballina, Cherry Street welcome all new players to come and learn the game of Croquet.

Club B Grade singles champion has been crowned with Nathan Scandrett defeating John Sheean 31 - 24.

Scandrett conquered very windy conditions to take the final in 32 ends, despite being one shot down at the 27th end, before taking 10 shots from the final 5 ends.

The first 12 ends were tight with both bowlers scoring ones and twos to leave the scores close before Shean scored 4 shots in the 13th end to skip away to a 12 - 7 lead. Due to the pressure of the final, combined with the wind, scores became twos and threes for the next 11 ends with Sheean leading 22-19 after 23 ends. From there the game tightened until the 28th end where Scandrett scored 4 shots to take the lead for the first time in 16 ends before closing out the final.

Scandrett had dominated earlier rounds, only conceding more than 20 shots in one match, before defeating Brodie Stevens, the 2020 B Grade singles runner-up, 31-16 in the semi final.

B Grade pairs championships are currently underway with the club’s triples and fours championships to follow in coming weeks.

62 FISHING & WEATHER anglers up, but at this stage the weather is looking great for the weekend.

The numbers of snapper on the close reefs has thinned out a little, but there are still some good quality fish there if you are willing to put in the time and effort. The better numbers of snapper are out on the 32 fathom line, along with some flathead on the southern 32’s.

The kingfish and pearl perch have been a little quiet, but the Lennox 48’s has been the pick of the areas to target.

Back in the river the flathead have been in good numbers over the past week, with some good quality fish coming from

LOCAL FISHING BALLINA Some much needed rain during the week will slow some

the main river and in North Creek. A mix of soft plastics, diving and surface lures have all worked recently as most of the fish are still in less than 2 meters of water.

The better quality bream are starting to make their way up river and are hanging around the rockwalls, with prawns, pilchards and mullet being the best baits to tempt them on.

The bass have been spread from Swan Bay to Lismore, with surface lures working well early morning, and then diving hard bodies and small mumblers working later in the morning.

Tight lines! Brett.

FFNC PLAYER OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCED

Lismore Thistles Mens League 6 Team

Jye Wilson

ON BEHALF of Football Far North Coast and Lismore Thistles, the club was extremely proud to announce the FFNC Player of the Year was Jye Wilson.

“Jye Wilson has proven throughout the season that he is very well deserving of this award,” a club spokesperson

said.

“Jye has a strong dedication to training and match days, overcoming several concussions only to return stronger each time.

“Your club, teammates and all of our supporters could not be prouder of you Jye, congratulations.”

Coach Chris Layland added: “Well deserved Player of the Year goes to 21-year-old Jye Wilson.

Playing for Lismore Thistles for the last 16 years. Possibly the quickest player in the competition. On the field a full competitor and off the field a nice and respectful well-adjusted guy. Well in mate!”

Congratulations also go the Lismore Thistles Men’s League 6 team who finished as the Pointscore Champions this season.

When asked for a few words about the season, Tim Webster and Paul Stanford responded: “The team couldn’t have achieved such a result without the help of a number of players from the Grade 15 Div. 1 team (Ben, Braydon, Matt, JJ, Ed, Marial, and Liam) who filled in most weeks as the ‘experienced’ (old) players suffered from lingering injuries.

“They filled in seamlessly with the team every time and their enthusiasm and efforts

were much appreciated.”

Brett Osterhage took out the Golden Boot for Men’s League 6 with 15 goals, and his goal scoring efforts were aptly supported with 13 of the 16 players (plus Braydon) scoring at least one goal throughout the season.

Although disappointed to miss out on a final’s series given how well they had performed as a team throughout the year, the team is determined to return next year and make up for it.

CLARENCE CRICKET SEASON LOOKS SET FOR LATE START

By Tim Howard Clarence cricket officials predict a late start for the 2021-22 season as uncertainty around Covid-19 restrictions bites.

The Clarence River Cricket Association’s newly elected president, Bruce Baxter, said a mid-November start was the earliest he could see.

He said the association was hearing almost daily from Cricket NSW and nothing he learned persuaded him the competition would make its usual start on the first weekend after the October Long Weekend.

“There’s so many things to plan and the advice seems to change at such short notice,” he said.

He said there was no real reason for local cricket couldn’t start early.

“The problem would be for the State Government to have 2000 cricketers on the North Coast playing cricket, while the rest of the state is in isolation,” he said.

It’s back to the future for

the new president, who was president for CRCA president for many years from the 1990s.

His executive will include former president Derek Woods as Vice President, long time secretary Judy Disson and treasurer John Blanch.

This season Baxter will wear three administrative hats as CRCA, South Services and Umpires Association president.

He said Souths were rebuilding after a disappointing season in 2020-21.

“We are going to field teams in first and second grades and try for a third grade team,” he said.

“It’s not looking too bad at the moment.”

He paid tribute to first grade captain Dylan Cleaver who has spent the off season building up his team during the off-season.

“We look like adding a couple of players this season, if things go to plan,” Baxter said.

Baxter said there could be

more good news on the player front, but didn’t want to reveal details.

Outgoing CRCA president Derek Woods, who is also heavily involved in the Tucabia Copmanhurst club as a player, curator and administrator said he had too much on his plate and something had to give.

He too has been swamped with Cricket NSW advice about how cricket might go ahead during the pandemic.

“We have been hearing all sorts of things like a no-jab/no-play policy that might come into effect once vaccination rates get above 80%,” he said.

Woods said Tucabia, would put up a strong defence of its premier league champions title.

He said the club would field a strong team despite losing the services of opening bowler Taine Riley who has moved away and the retirement of last season’s finals hero Bob McKenzie.

“Bobby decided it was time to call it quits after his

performance in the grand final,” Woods said.

“He might come in years to come as a veteran in thirds.

He’s been a good servant to the club.”

Wood said the club would welcome back Tyson Blackadder and Tom Cootes this season, who would be welcome additions.

“It’s going to be a close competition again this season,” he said. “Any of the four sides could beat the others on their day.

“If you didn’t turn up ready to play, you could easily get your pants pulled down.”

The Clarence River Junior Cricket Association was also unsure of its playing start date for the coming season.

New juniors president Christian Buggy said tentatively and after many discussions with NSW he was hoping to get a late October, early November start date “Normally at this time of the year we are dusting off the cricket gear and getting into some pre-season training in readiness for a new season

commencing early October,” he said.

“Our association is working closely with Cricket NSW and the beginning of the season remains in the hands of the relevant NSW Public Health Orders. A tentative commencement window of October/November has been given and as soon as the go ahead is given we will advise you all.”

After the CRJCA ran without an executive committee last season, the association has elected a full complement for this season.

In addition to Buggy in the top job, Andrew Kinnane is Vice President, Claudia Ollenburg is secretary and Adam Brown is treasurer.D He said the North Coast Cricket Council Academy held a training clinic at JJ Lawrence Fields, South Grafton, on August 7 attended by 50+ junior cricketers from the association.

WASP Racing are set to run in the RSA Junior Sedans 2021/2022 speedway season. Brody Putsey, centre, surrounded by his brother Luke Putsey, left, and teammate Hayden Fleming, right.

JUNIOR WASPS ABUZZ WITH NEW PAINT SCHEMES Lismore Paint & Trade Supplies have supplied the WASP Junior Racing Team with paint for their RSA Junior Sedans for the 2021/2022 speedway season.

The crew of Dave Putsey, Jamie Smith, Toby Hunter and Madison Harkin at WASP Racing have designed and delivered three outstandingly-presented

racecars.

On top of a great paint finish is the stickers supplied

by A1 Signs & Graphics to promote all the sponsors on the panels of the racecars.

Behind the wheel of these racecars will be 16-year-old Brody Putsey in the No. 62 Jacks Race Engineering Corolla, 11-year-old Hayden Fleming in the No. 64 Paint

& Trade Supplies Hyundai and 13-year-old Luke Putsey, who will be 14-years-old in October, in the No. 66 A1 Signs & Graphics Corolla.

Brody Putsey raced in six races last season finishing third on one occasion before a crash into the concrete wall destroyed his racecar, finishing his race season.

Hayden Fleming finished

the speedway season with two third-placed podiums and will start this season with a fresh new racecar.

Luke Putsey didn’t compete last season but has freshened his previous racecar with a new coat of paint.

RSA Juniors Sedans race together in two categories (All Stars 14-17 years of age and New Stars 10-13 years

of age).

Brody and Luke Putsey will run under All Stars with Hayden Fleming under New Stars.

WASP Juniors would also like to thank Everingham Engines, Simes Bros, Shaqs Speedway Pics and Concrete Posts & Pickets. more local Sport inside
