Reward increased to $500,000 for information into disappearance The NSW Government, together with the NSW Police Force, has announced that the reward for information into the 1997 suspicious disappearance of Marion Barter has been increased to $500,000. Marion Barter, aged 51, was last seen at a bus depot on Scarborough Street, near Railway Street, at Southport, Queensland, on Sunday 22 June 1997. In the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Marion was also observed by a family member leaving a service station on Ferry Road, Southport, in a red Honda Civic Breeze with a tall male passenger in the vehicle. Inquiries at the time revealed that Marion left Australia for the United Kingdom on Sunday 22 June 1997, under the name Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel, which she had officially changed the month before leaving the country. Her outgoing passenger card stated that she was divorced and intended to reside in Luxembourg. On Saturday 2 August 1997, investigators believe Marion may have re-entered Australia under the name of Florabella Remakel with an incoming passenger card stating she was married and resided in Letters Travel TV Guide Entertainment Real Estate

Luxembourg. Inquiries also revealed that following her disappearance, an unknown person appears to have accessed a bank account belonging to Marion. Family members reported Ms Barter missing to police at Byron Bay in October 1997, with detectives from the Tweed-Byron Local Area Command commencing an investigation into her whereabouts. As part of their inquiries, detectives explored numerous leads in Australia and overseas in relation to Marion’s disappearance. In July 2019, a formal review of the case was conducted by the Tweed-Byron Police District, the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and the NSW Department of Communities and Justice. The Homicide Squad’s Unsolved Homicide Unit subsequently established Strike Force Jurunga – in collaboration with local officers and the State Crime Command’s Missing Persons Registry – to re-investigate Marion’s disappearance. A coronial inquest, presided by the NSW State Coroner, began in Sydney on Monday 21 June 2021, and will continue at Byron Bay this week.

Barter’s movements and whereabouts upon returning to Australia in late July or early August 1997 and wish to speak with anyone close to her during that time,” Det Insp Warren said. Marion’s daughter, Sally Leydon, said she has never given up her quest for answers and encouraged anyone with information to come forward. “My mother’s behaviour before leaving Australia was out of character and we know she was seen around the Southport area inside a vehicle with an unknown man,” Ms Leydon said. “She also missed my brother’s birthday – something I know she would never do – and had her bank account drained in increments once she was reported missing. “I have no doubt these bizarre occurrences were because something untoward was happening in her life, and that thing still remains a heartbreaking mystery for my family today,” Ms Barter said. Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Jurunga investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https:// nsw.crimestoppers. com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.

Cassar-Daley’s history-making win a milestone of mixed emotions LESLEY APPS Making history ain’t easy. Especially if you’re as humble as Troy CassarDaley and the momentous occasion involves surpassing a record held by your country music idol. But as one of Australia’s most accomplished country music stars on the landscape today, is was only a matter of time before it was bound to happen. That moment was at the recent Tamworth Country Music Festival when the 53-year-old made history by winning a record-breaking 40th Golden Guitar Award. The proud Gumbaynggirr/ Bundjalung man who grew up in South Grafton, won three awards on the night exceeding the legendary Slim Dusty’s long standing tally of 38 Golden Guitars. Cassar-Daley was named Male Artist of the Year; his album ‘The World Today’ won the Top Selling Album of the Year; and his track ‘South’ (performed with Ian Moss) was named Vocal

Collaboration of the Year during the Tamworth awards ceremony that celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. Still “buzzing” from an eventful couple of weeks, Cassar-Daley said his milestone win was slowly sinking in along with the weight of such an achievement. “Surpassing Slim Dusty with Golden Guitars is not something I wanted to do,” Cassar-Daley admitted. “I always hoped it would be someone else but here we are and I’m still coming to terms with it.” The mixed feelings he was having about the whole record-breaking experience had been weighing on him for a while but that was put to rest by the only person Cassar-Daley felt could help him, Slim’s widow and his friend, Joy McKean. “I’ve been having some beautiful email exchanges with Joy. She was a huge help in regards to understanding why I was feeling like I was and she graciously said no matter what happens please know you have our family’s full support on this. That really took away the fear factor for me.” COVID-19 also managed to take some of the shine off Cassar-Daley’s big evening when he was unable to have the love of his life by his side. “My wife Laurel having COVID was not ideal but it was out of our control. She had to isolate for a week and that image of her awards outfit, laid out on the chair in her motel room ready to wear, it was a little too much for me,” the country music star said. “I take so much pride in these awards and she should have been there with me because she’s been there from the very first one. I promised her I wouldn’t cry at the awards but yes, I cried.” The newly-crowned record holder said of all the emotions he had been navigating this past week, he felt an immense honour to carry the torch

for country music and was adamant that despite the historical win, Slim Dusty will forever be the king. “I’m more than happy to be the gatekeeper and protector for Slim as far as these awards go.” He said he felt his place in Australia’s country music industry meant he now had a responsibiily to encourage the next generation of musicians making their way through. “Slim was accepting of Kasey Chambers, Keith Urban and myself (when they all started). We all covered different styles of country. I will be no different. Whatever it takes to help our music grow will be my duty now. I’m more than happy when young kids ask my opinion on what to do, where to play, what guitar to use. I’m there for them, like Slim and Joy have been for me.” Cassar-Daley said winning his 40th Golden Guitar was also cause for reflection on where he came from and how he got to this point. “South Grafton and Halfway Creek (south of Grafton) hold so many memories of my musical trips and unwavering support from family and friends over so many years. “All I ever wanted to do the day I packed my EH Holden wagon and moved to Tamworth, was make everyone back home proud. That was my only plan and still very important to me now I’m in my 50s,” he said. “I wouldn’t have been able to go on, to believe in myself, if it wasn’t for the belief I received from my home town. That’s a fact. The Clarence Valley is my Country and still fills my soul every time I get to sit around a fire there.” Cassar Daley said he was hugely humbled by everything that had happened recently but will be continuing to make music for the same reason he always has. “I still think I have some good music in me to share with everyone and I can’t wait to do that.”

Sydney communities, Singapore students open hearts to Lismore JANELLE SAFFIN MP State Member for Lismore Last week, I made a flying visit to two Buddhist temples in Sydney to connect three wonderful communities who wished to generously donate to the flood recovery effort which is under way for Lismore and the Northern Rivers region. The Australian Chinese Buddhist Society hosted an event at its Mingyue Lay Temple in Cabramatta Road, Bonnyrigg, where Chairman James Chan OAM handed over a cheque for $101,288 – the proceeds of a major Flood Appeal -- to St Vincent de Paul Society’s Regional Director North East Clare Van Doorn. Joining me last Thursday were my Parliamentary colleagues State Member for Cabramatta Nick Lalich MP and State Member for Fairfield Guy Zangari, and retiring Federal Member for Fowler Chris Hayes MP. Members and devotees of the Society started the appeal as soon as the flooding occurred in Lismore and when the temple advertised in the Chinese Newspaper for more donations, the response was overwhelming. A fundraising concert carnival at the temple on April 17 raised over $10,000 alone. Further, the Society transferred charity income for the last three months from the temple and directors decided to add extra funds, enhancing Vinnies’ ability to purchase charity items to help individuals and families affected by the floods. Master Venerable Shi Ming Shang gave a dharma talk, saying everyone at the temple chanted and prayed for the well-being of people in Lismore, and wished with the Buddha’s blessing there will be

In another lovely donation, The Australian Cambodian Chinese Association Incorporated’s President Shao Jian Guan presented Ms Van Doorn with a cheque for $6,150, funds raised by the social club based in Canley Vale. That afternoon, I travelled further west to the Fu Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple in

Parramatta for a third cheque presentation. Chief Abbess Venerable Manko, of Buddha’s Light International Association’s Sydney Chapter, kindly donated $10,000 to the Lismore City Council’s Flood Appeal. Chapter President Andy Chin said more than 1000 devotees from the Wollongong head office and three Sydney branches had been deeply moved by the scenes of utter devastation in Lismore. “We choose a different

fundraising cause every year, and thought we must show compassion to our brothers and sisters in Lismore,” Andy said. “We were honoured to do this and to host Janelle when we knew she was coming down to Sydney.” Students at the Australian International School in Singapore are keeping me posted on their Week 2 Term 2 fundraiser, Bring Anything But A Backpack, with donations to help restore

the Lismore Library’s books lost during the flood. On WhatsApp, I had a video call with the Deputy Head of Secondary and two senior students – Millie (Lismore born and daughter of Karla Lismore born) and Oli – to hear of their wonderful student-led initiative for Lismore’s library users. At Parliament House, I had a good meeting with Lismore’s Roy Starkey, who is a member of the Ministerial Advisory

Council Ageing NSW (MACA), to discuss the need for seniors affordable housing, especially for women aged over 50, made that much greater since the February 28 flood event. Roy provided me with a broad-ranging report, Experiences From The Field and Options for Recovery, which I have shared with David Witherdin, the newly-appointed Chief Executive of the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation.

Casino Food Co-op community biohub to combat carbon emissions The Casino Food Co-op has unveiled plans for the next phase of their sustainability strategy by partnering with Helmont Energy (Helmont) to develop a biohub facility at their red meat processing facility located in Casino. Under the partnership, Helmont will develop, build and operate a new biohub facility that will generate renewable energy from a process known as anaerobic digestion. The biohub will process all organic by-products from the red meat processing facility and generate renewable electricity that will be equivalent to powering 3000 homes. The biohub will complement The Co-op’s existing biomass boiler with surplus renewable heat. Additionally, digestate, a by-product of the process, will be

converted into a nutrient rich fertilizer with potential to be returned to The Co-op farmers. The Co-op’s CEO Simon Stahl said the biohub showcases how the red meat industry can become carbon neutral while contributing many benefits to the region’s community. “We are a very proud community-based Co-operative and have a responsibility to minimise our carbon footprint and maximise the benefits we provide local communities and businesses. We are very pleased to be partnering with Helmont and laying the foundations for an innovative solution that will provide circular economy benefits to The Co-op and our partners within the community. “This project will create opportunities for the community to process organic waste

This biohub is another step towards our goal of becoming net zero with the industry” Simon Stahl said. “The biohub model proposed by Helmont is generating excitement within the red meat industry across Australia. For the first time we now have a solution that can add value to all products

produced within The Co-op, while ensuring we minimise our external energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint. We are seeing increased demand for Australian goods that meet sustainability goals and this project is necessary to maintain our global competitiveness within the domestic and international markets. “We’re excited to

be moving to the next phase of development by partnering with Helmont who bring extensive experience and expertise in bioenergy developments and clean energy solutions.” Helmont’s Managing Director Mark Jonker, said: “the Project Development Agreement between the two companies allows Helmont to finalise the feasibility study and reach an investment decision in the project. As the financier of the project Helmont will own and operate the biohub and provide renewable electricity, renewable heat and organic feedstock conversion services to The Co-op. “This is fantastic opportunity to showcase how anaerobic technology can be used to generate circular economy benefits and

value for our clients and the communities they support. “This project will process all of the abattoir’s organic by-products and generate reliable, baseload renewable electricity. The methane captured and utilised will ensure that a total of 72,000 tonnesof CO2 is abated from the atmosphere.” Helmont’s delivery capabilities are further strengthened by the support of their major shareholder, LMS Energy (LMS). LMS are Australia’s leading bioenergy and carbon abatement company and will provide the biohub with access to their innovative bioenergy technologies. This could include the future utilisation of other organic waste streams from local councils and other food processors in the area.

Decision needed now on buyback of homes

scheme, Council’s flood engineers identified more than 140 homes for buyback. The properties are divided into 2 stages – priority and future – and cover areas including South Murwillumbah, Bray Park, Burringbar and Mooball. Homes in additional areas, such as at Condong, Tumbulgum and Chinderah, will be considered in a future stage of the scheme, along with measures to try and assist those in high risk caravan parks and house raising options. The VHP program was approved by the NSW Government in 2018. Since then, 11 residential properties have been purchased under the scheme due to limitations in the funding support available and the eligibility criteria imposed.

Mayor of Tweed, Councillor Chris Cherry said while the 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry was an essential process in long-term planning for flood mitigation, residents couldn’t wait another six months for the inquiry to be completed before making their decision to either sell their homes or rebuild.* “I understand the Government is waiting on the independent review – however time is of the essence and surely both the 2017 and 2022 floods speak volume enough that some houses and assets are best removed from the floodplain,” Cr Cherry said. “The Government needs to be mindful that home owners are being offered cash settlements by insurance companies now to begin the rebuild process in the floodplain.

“Once they have sunk their money into their homes again, they will not be as motivated to sell under any future Voluntary Housing Purchasing program – this is exactly what we experienced post 2017.” Cr Cherry said a new VHP program should be expedited immediately in the Tweed, before the NSW Government finalised its plans for temporary housing accommodation sites, known as ‘pods’. “We are calling for the replacement of our existing VHP program with a new scheme that is 100% funded by the NSW Government, and is not subject to limiting eligibility constraints as occurred under the original scheme,” Cr Cherry said. “It is a much wiser use of public funds to immediately offer to buyback high-risk

homes. “This will in turn reduce the number of pods required and offset the cost of the VHP program. The owners can take their VHP money and their insurance money and acquire or build a new home out of the floodplain.” Cr Cherry said Council had also recommended the State Government purchase newlyconstructed units at Tweed Heads, to provide more long-term solutions to residents in need of social housing. “Before expenditure on temporary housing pods, assessment should be made as to whether the people going into them actually would normally qualify for social housing,” Mayor Cherry said. “If so, it would be a wiser use of public funds to acquire homes that can be added permanently to

the social housing pool. This could be achieved at roughly just twice the cost of pods and offer a more long-term solution to the housing crisis gripping the Northern Rivers.” Background: * The NSW Government commissioned an independent expert inquiry into the February 2022 flood, which will look into the preparation for, causes of, response to and recovery from the 2022 catastrophic flood event across the state. Submissions to the Inquiry close on Friday 20 May, with an initial report required to be presented to the Premier by 30 June. The final report is due by 30 September 2022.

Tweed Shire Council is calling on the NSW Government to expedite the voluntary buyback of homes destroyed by recent floods, to provide viable and secure options for property owners as soon as possible. Latest figures indicate more than 2,100 properties in the Tweed were damaged in the February 2022 flood, with 500 homes deemed no longer habitable. Floodplain Risk Management Studies undertaken by Council in 2014 and 2015 recommended a Voluntary House Purchase (VHP) scheme to permanently remove at-risk people from high flood hazard areas by buying their houses. These properties would then be back-zoned to allow for more floodcompatible uses, such as parkland or farming. As part of this

TIM HOWARD Clarence Valley ratepayers will see their rates rise by 2.5% despite the rates regulator pegging the increase to just 0.7% for the coming year. Last Tuesday Clarence Valley councillors voted 6-3 to accept an offer from the NSW Minister for Local Government, Wendy Tuckerman, to bypass the IPART rate peg put limit of 0.7%. Late last year IPART handed down an historic low 0.7% baseline rate peg for the 2022/2023 financial year. This was despite surging inflation, soaring fuel and other commodity prices as well as a mandated local government wage rise of 2%. This low baseline rate peg was a result of IPART applying its new rate peg methodology, which effectively looked backwards with regards

to the ABS statistics applied in determining the increasing cost factors for local government. The result was many council approach the Minister for Local Government allow them to overrule IPART’s decision and apply a more acceptable 2.5% Council staff said accepting the IPART peg would have cut council income by $670,000 and would lead to cuts in council services. But there three councillors, Debrah Novak, Jeff Smith and Alison Whaites opposed any rate increase above the IPART peg. Cr Whaites said in the tough times facing Clarence residents many people needed a hand up and not a push down. “In these difficult times council needs to review It should deliver essential services:

full rate rise rate peg would be irresponsible. Cr Karen Toms said her position would not be popular, but she it would be irresponsible for council not to go for the 2.5% limit. “If we decide to park it this year, it would be even tougher for us next year,” she said. “The CPI is higher than the 2.5% level and wages are going to be higher. If we did this we would just be going backwards.” Cr Peter Johnstone said by his calculations the average rate rise would be $22.43, which translated in popular purchases amounted to a pack of cigarettes or a couple of fast food meals. Cr Bill Day said the IPART decision had shocked him. “I had been expecting the traditional rate pegging increase between 2% and 3% when .7% came out

shock to me,” he said. “I appreciate what Cr Whaites says. It’s been a catastrophic period and we do live in a low socio economic area. Mr heart bleeds for people struggling. But he said the council could not survive on this level of income and the council needed to raise rates 2.5%. “It’s up to us to improve CVC not wreck it,” he said. “Unless come up with tangible researched savings we must appreciate so that staff told us, that they need 2.5% to fund services.” Cr Greg Clancy said the council had to live in the real world where it had commitments to meet. “The problem this has become a political point which the council has to fix because IPART buggered it up in the first place.” He feared accepting the 0.7% rate peg would

result in more job losses, which he would hate to impose on people during this time. “When we made cuts to meet the Fit for the Future requirements, we cut about 26 jobs,” he said. “I fear this might mean cutting six or seven jobs.” The mayor said while he had sympathy for people doing it tough, the IPART decision would undo the work of previous councils had done paying down debt. “They did the hard work getting the debt down to $139 million to $96 million,” he said. He also pointed out the council had hardship provisions to help people who could not pay their rates bill.

Mayoral minutes take an hour to debate TIM HOWARD Winning approval for six out of seven of his mayoral minutes was an upside to an April Clarence Valley Council meeting that left Mayor Ian Tiley with some feelings of disappointment. The mayor prides himself on running brisk meetings, rarely going beyond two hours, but last Tuesday’s meeting clocked up four hours 20 minutes of at times rancorous debate. Cr Tiley said he was trying to introduce some reforms in his mayoral minutes and getting support for all but one was a positive outcome. The sole failure was a proposal for the council to join the six other Northern Rivers councils in the Northern Rivers Joint Organisation. A minute to establish the process for recruiting the next council general manager also had to jump some hurdles before it was passed. Proposals to join

the Australian Local Government Association campaign to advocate for increased Federal Government funding for councils, advocated for funding for the Grafton Base Hospital upgrade, re-establish the Clarence Valley Aboriginal Consultative Committee, begin councillor listening tours and completion of the Maclean CBD Riverside precinct walk were all passed unanimously. Opposition to the council joining the NRJO of councils began with Cr Karen Toms, who could not see value in the council paying the $46,000 required for it to become a full voting member. It has been an associate member, with no voting rights since the joint organisation was founded under State Government legislation in 2017. Cr Toms said she could see nothing in the report to council that showed there was anything in it for ratepayers to justify

spending $46,000. Cr Bill Day said the money involved, $46,000 in a budget of $175 million was not a major consideration. And he said the council was not tied to the deal in perpetuity, pointing the council could drop out at anytime. But Cr Debrah Novak was not keen. She said the council already had a non-voting seat at the table and she would prefer the council spent the $46,000 filling potholes. She also noted the the local member had monthly meetings with council general managers where they could establish links with other tiers of government. Cr Tiley mounted a passionate argument for his proposal. He said becoming a full, fee-paying member for would strengthen the council’s lobbying capacity. But Cr Tiley could not sway enough votes and the council voted against the minute 5-4.

First Northern Rivers housing pods arrive

LARA LEAHY Chris Richens, the president of the Kyogle Golf Club has formerly tended his resignation. Mr Richens would like to “take some time for other personal pursuits and care for family health”. “I expect Cheryl Olive will be the acting President until the board formally decides on a replacement.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the delivery of the first temporary housing site is an important step in providing medium term housing support. “For many residents across the Northern Rivers returning home is simply not an option.

Toole said. “The Wollongbar site is located around 20 minutes from Lismore and Ballina and will have the capacity to house up to 220 people. In addition to smaller ‘pod’ style set ups, 30 caravans are in position.” Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the NSW Government is doing everything possible to find housing solutions for flood-affected communities while they work to rebuild. “Housing is one of the greatest challenges we face in the wake of the unprecedented flooding. Our priority is for everyone affected by this

disaster to have access to safe housing while they rebuild and recover,” Ms Cooke said. “Wherever possible we want to support people in getting back to their homes which is why it’s so important to have medium term housing solutions, like these pods, in place. “Once the Wollongbar site is established and the connection of utilities is complete it will be handed over to housing provider, North Coast Community Housing, with the first accommodation to be allocated by early May.” Minderoo Foundation Fire and Flood Resilience Lead Adrian Turner said it was crucial to continue to

A view worthy of a makeover SAMANTHA ELLEY It has arguably one of the best views on the Northern Rivers and is a must-visit place when people come to Evans Head. Richmond Valley mayor Robert Mustow said it was time that Razorback Lookout at South Evans Head had a face lift, at the official opening last week. “(Razorback) hadn’t had a major face lift for a long time,” he said. “We had done repairs but there is now more seating and more parking for visitors.” Cr Mustow said the feedback from locals and visitors alike has all been positive.

“It was Council’s signature project for the area and (Federal member for Page) Kevin Hogan provided the $400,000 funding while we also put in $20,000,” he said. “It was ably projectmanaged by Lani Hancock and opened before Christmas in time for the summer tourists.” Community group Evans Head Rotary also contributed by sponsoring the seat that overlooks Half-Tide and the expansive ocean views. “It is the best view and the seat is made of aluminium to look like timber so will wear well in the weather,” said Rotary president David Parker.

The marvel of animal therapy LARA LEAHY 10 Winchester Farm has a mission to provide people in need of respite, a safe haven to recover, heal, or find sanctuary from a hectic world. Emma Page, the director, has found much solace in the comfort of animals, and she is passionate about sharing that experience. “We work with people that have suffered mental anguish, physical disability, children that have been bullied or suffered from learning disabilities or trauma. Being around animals provides an indescribable comfort. Sharing that has provided us with incredible success helping people overcome fears and anxiety. It is so heart warming.” said Emma. People are referred to 10 Winchester Farm, or approach them directly to look for comforting solutions.

Riverlight Ulmarra announces line up

Riverlight Ulmarra, the new one-day community cultural festival, has announced a jam-packed line up of music, entertainment and food for the event on Saturday 14 May. The historic village of Ulmarra will come alive between 2pm and 9pm and showcase the town and Clarence River through a spectacular display of floating lanterns. Produced by Phil

Nicholas of Events Delivered with creative input from master lantern maker Phill Relf of IKARA Celebratory Events, who has over 20 years’ experience, the festival will centre around illuminated riverbased art installations. Mr Nicholas said Riverlight Ulmarra kicks off with lantern making workshops from 2pm, with food stalls and entertainment throughout the afternoon, providing

a great day out and evening of fun. “The music line-up includes the Downriver Grommets under the tutelage of local music teacher Ryan Enns, and The Enns of the Earth playing everything from bluegrass through to Ed Sheeran, with the Clarence Valley’s own The Ninth Chapter headlining the festival and plying their trademark funky groove and punchy horns,” he

said. “Entertainment will feature the spectacle of fire twirling with Mallika Goddess of the Flame, Kawaii Face Painting to add a bit of festival frivolity, a blacksmiths display, Navy Cadets, cake stall and trash and treasure, Wildflower Collective and Co. stall and live street art by NITSUA. “Food trucks from Sweet and Smokey and Pocket Curries will

provide some mouthwatering delights, with the mobile Coopers Bar on hand for a range of refreshments.” The festival has specifically been designed to accommodate day trips from nearby regions and overnight visitors who can stay and experience more of the Clarence Valley, with a series of itineraries that guide people through half-day, full-day or two-day

drives that will allow them to explore the region. “Visitors can also get prepared to join the parade by purchasing lantern kits via our website and we post them out with full instructions,” Mr Nicholas said. “They’re simple and fun to make, and they look magical illuminated after dark.” To book tickets visit riverlightulmarra.com.au

The SQUEAK MOUSE that roared… Leemo Cat’ back. ‘YES, I AM cognizant that everyone and their cat are fed up with the dismal weather of late. Oooh, I yearn to go frisking on warm green grass, with little catnaps in the sun. BUT, one or 2 days of sun doesn’t dry out my best spots, and I end up with wet muddy paws which ‘Mum Jane’ has to help with. Her rhetoric relating to the simple task of drying my paws with a warm towel does not bear repeating’. Hmmm. sleeping, & dreaming of sunny days, waking up for treats, sleeping more. BUT, what I have discovered is ‘cos the inclement weather is causing me to sleep so much in the day, I am bursting with unbridled frenetic energy from 2:30am when, strangely, Mum also wakes up. This new routine has caused much consternation in our house. I shall tell you a story. Since it began, I have astutely noted that every night, Mum placed my play stuff in high places. AND moved things that would have enabled me to gracefully leap up on them and hence reach there is more than one way to skin a cat (a truly dismal saying attributed to American author Seba Smith in 1840) which means there are many ways to do something to achieve a goal. SO, I devised a cunning plot. I would hide my night playthings. Tonight, whilst she

was brushing her teeth, I corralled them. My laser light, a wee drum with loud bells, my squeak-mouse, my talking bird, a pencil, a TV remote, Mum’s glasses & other nifty stuff. I then pushed them all under her armchair. When she came back from the teethy business, I astutely observed her scratching her head looking around? Aha, she’s old and hasn’t a clue what’s missing. Then I sat neatly on my chair with my Bear buddies, purred Mum a loving goodnight, yawned mightily, and snuggled in. All was very calm in our house, nothing stirring, not even a mouse! (yet!) Niftily, my shrewd brain ticked away, waking me in a deliciously measured manner…I WOKE UP, right on 2:30am. Oh joy, time to frisk and play. I did a wakeup stretch and leapt partook of a small treat from my bowl selection & pondered…should I put music on… like “Stayin Alive” by the Bee Gees? Hmmm..yep, so I did. I retrieved my play items and began sliding them then pouncing. Oooh.. bliss! OMG, nooooo! Mum stirred…from under her doona came a grumbling whiney whingey voice…. her head poked out from the mound, a sight to frighten Frankenstein. Yelling started “Leeeeemoooo, turn off that music NOW!” A fumble for her glasses. Tch…she A night-light went on near her bed. She cautiously moved around looking for her glasses and stepped on ‘Squeak Mouse’ who let out the biggest ROAR he’s ever made. Mayhem descended when Mum screamed thinking he was a snake. OMG…Horror! Due to my intricately wired feline brain, I am able to make quick decisions in emergency situations. I did just that. I’m was outta there pronto with Squeak Mouse. Oooh…I laughed so much it hurt.

Proposed second dam on Rocky Creek - Dunoon Dam WHIAN WHIAN LANDCARE Whian Whian is a small rural community, which forms part of the catchment and inundation area for the proposed Dam. The construction of the Dam is NOT supported. Landcare carries out work in the community to preserve and restore local ecosystems; encourage best land management practices and to integrate outcomes into local land use. Tradition owners Landcare strongly supports the desire of traditional owners of the land to preserve sites that are sacred to them. The Dam will destroy important aboriginal sites. This further harm nations people is unacceptable. Cost The proposed Dam negative impact on the local community. The cost of the Dam will, ultimately, be recouped by substantial increases in rates. Alternative sources of clean reliable water with minimal impact on the environment have been

the preferred plan from Rous Water. A recent change in council representation has directed that the Dam business case be reexamined. We actively support the development of cheaper and ecologically friendlier non-Dam alternatives. Ecological impact If the construction of the Dam were to proceed, 63 hectares of Lowland Rainforest that grows along Rocky creek would be impacted. This endangered ecological community also includes 7 hectares of warmtemperate rainforest on sandstone, which is exceptionally rare in this region. Despite 30 years of largely landowner driven rainforest restoration many of the Big Scrub remnants are often very small (less than one hectare) and remain highly fragmented. These 63 hectares of Lowland Rainforest in the inundation area represent 6% of the remaining 1% of the Big Scrub and are in urgent need of conservation if viable and genetically diverse populations of Big Scrub rainforest are to thrive in the future. Koala impact Efforts to increase and

Koala populations in New South Wales have fallen by 33%-61% since 2001. In 2020, a parliamentary inquiry warned the species might become extinct before 2050 without urgent intervention. While diseases (Chlamydia and retrovirus), dog attacks and road accidents are responsible for many koala deaths, the principal threat to koala populations remains habitat destruction. The Dunoon district has

Koalas continue to be sighted in the Rocky creek catchment. In recent months Friends of the Koala have routinely been asked by residents from the Channon to capture and care for sick koalas found in this region. The construction of a second dam on Rocky creek would undermine this progress. The dam would destroy several kilometres of eucalyptus corridors linking habitat on either side of the proposed Dam.

Seniors urged to be vigilant against scams Senior Australians are being urged to stay vigilant against scams, as the total cost swindled from older consumers skyrockets to over $11 million last year. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) received 16,915 reports from seniors that had been scammed in 2021. Minister for Fair Trading Eleni Petinos said $6.7 million had been lost through false billing scams, where scammers request payment through fake invoices for goods or services which were never ordered.

“In one case, a consumer lost $760,000 when their mortgage broker’s email had been compromised,” Ms Petinos said. Online shopping scams cost Australian seniors $1.8 million last year. A common example of this is the purchase of a motor home online via fake websites. Ms Petinos said any scammers targeting older Australians will be met with the full force of the law. “Targeting vulnerable Australians is abhorrent behaviour. Fair Trading has a zero-tolerance approach to any fraudsters ripping off

hard-working people,” Ms Petinos said. “Be wary of any requests for money. being asked to transfer money via an unusual payment method such as preloaded debit cards, gift cards or virtual currency.” Minister for Seniors Mark Coure said it is disgusting to see criminals deliberately target older people. “Seniors deserve better than to be preyed on by low-life criminals and defrauded of their life savings,” Mr Coure said. “Older people have worked their whole lives to make NSW the great

state it is today. Anyone taking advantage of seniors should have the book thrown at them.” NSW Fair Trading has a guide with up-to-date information for seniors about their consumer rights and how to deal with unscrupulous operators. To read the guide, visit: www. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ help-centre/youth-andseniors/seniors. The Aging and Disability Commission also has a range of resources available to help people better understand abuse, neglect and exploitation of older people and adults with disability.

Reports railway tracks being pulled up at Casino NORTHERN RIVERS RAIL LTD Northern Rivers Rail Ltd (NRRL) has received information that the railway tracks are now being ripped out at Casino. Federal Nationals MP for Page, Kevin Hogan committed $7.5 million to destroy the 13km rail line from Casino to Bentley and replacing it with a bike trail. Railway experts say this is the best piece of track in the whole railway line. If it was the same to repair as the section for the Byron Solar train this would cost $6.5 million to repair the railway track to Bentley, less

than the cost of the bike trail. Lismore City Council has recently accepted the funding offer of $9.9 million for a bike trail for the 16.3 km section from Bentley to Lismore, made by Kevin Hogan. At the same costings it would be $8.15 million to repair the tracks. Why waste money on ripping up valuable infrastructure? Jan Mangleson, Chairperson of NRRL says: “After the recent disastrous floods, having the roads blocked meant empty shelves in supermarkets and people unable to buy essential food or petrol. Especially when they’d

lost everything it was important to have food and be able to get around. The Casino to Murwillumbah railway was built to be flood free and could have been an effective transport link for these essential supplies. We’re being let down by out-of-date government thinking and the total loss of public transport is an added disaster for everyone”. Beth Shelley from NRRAG says: “We need to question in this time before the Federal election why the Nationals are wanting to rip up railway tracks. We know they don’t favour action on climate change. Railways have

been proven to be the best way to cut transport emissions quickly. Yet here we are seeing the destruction of a railway in a busy, populated area like the Northern Rivers. Traffic congestion, road damage and accidents will continue to worsen. It’s sad to lose our transport because of a deliberately negative government report.” It seems that local council in Casino are getting in early to destroy the line before the Federal election and possible government change. A different government could possibly withdraw the funding for the destruction of this great

railway line if they cared more for our communities and action on climate change.” Construction of a bike trail at Murwillumbah has been happening for the last few months and after the floods we’ve seen what a mess is left when water washes away a bike trail. This would not be happening if the rails were still there to hold the earth in place. This bike trail is going to end up costing heaps for ratepayers when the government should be providing decent public transport for locals and the many tourists that come to the Northern Rivers. People come to the

Byron Shire in huge numbers but have no transport to get around to the rest of the region. Finding transport to get to a bike trail in Casino won’t be possible for many of the tourists to Byron. Trains to Byron would offer the chance for them to get out to Lismore, Casino and Murwillumbah to visit these areas. Beth Shelley says: “Kevin Hogan doesn’t show any real care for this community when he offers money to rip up the railway. People need to vote for someone who cares about our needs and we need our railway.”

Flood Relief Fund raises more than $1.2m In just six weeks since launching The Flood Relief Fund, a grassroots community-led fund formed in response to the the wider Northern Rivers region, over $1.2 million in funding has already been raised. With donations received from eight countries and every state and territory in Australia, the sincere and heartfelt support for the impacted

Northern Rivers region is evident and is travelling from far and wide. A number of generous matched funding donations were made over the past two weeks from Foundations and Private Funds, which resulted in donor contributions being doubled or tripled during the respective periods, propelling the fundraising forward by a

The Fund’s aim is to align with more matched funding donors to maintain this same fundraising momentum. Fund Committee member, Lynda Dean OAM, says: “I knew that our caring, generous community would break all records reaching this fabulous target of $1 million. “It means hundreds, even thousands of people are being helped by this

initiative. “We’re extremely proud of everyone’s effort”. In these four weeks since commencing, The Flood Relief Fund has funded 46 community grants, which have been thoughtfully, yet quickly, allocated by the Fund Committee, to organisations working in immediate and short-

recovery. The 69 organisations and projects funded to date represent a broad geographical spread and a diverse range of support for immediate communities across the Northern Rivers region. These include community food pantries and kitchens, meal delivery services, housing, mental health services, Indigenous

community support, disability services, animal welfare, pregnancy and early parenting support, and landcare landslide management - to name a few. The complete list of funded organisations are public on The Flood Relief Fund website. applications will close on

Housing for all - Greens unveil Federal Housing Plan in Lismore Greens NSW Senate candidate David Shoebridge was in Lismore unveiling the Greens’ plan to build thousands of new public and social homes in Lismore and the Northern Rivers. Greens candidate for Page Kashmir Miller was unable to attended as she has tested positive to Covid. The initiative is part of the Greens’ Homes For All policy, which will build a million new public and community homes in the next decade. The Greens announced their Homes For All policy (https://greens. org.au/housing) in The Quad in Lismore, speaking with local residents who have been devastated by the housing crisis, especially after the most recent flooding events.

Greens Senate Candidate David Shoebridge said: “Everybody deserves a safe, affordable and secure home and that’s what this plan delivers. “We know the private housing market is cooked, that’s why we need this nation building

investment in public and affordable housing. “The good news is we have had this fully costed and we can afford it. With a modest 6% tax on billionaires and closing corporate tax loopholes there is more than enough capacity to build a million homes and more,” Mr Shoebridge

said. Greens Candidate for Page, Kashmir Miller said: “An affordable home is a human right but young people like myself have no hope of entering into the housing market and owning their own home. “The recent flooding which has devastated our

communities has only exacerbated the housing crisis. “The Greens will build one million affordable and high-quality homes so that people who are locked out of the housing market can have access to housing options - so everyone has an affordable and secure

home,” Kashmir said. Lucia Schulz, local teacher who recently lost her home to the floods: “At the end of 2019 we bought our first house in a lovely community and for the last 2 years we’ve been working on improving the house and turning it into our home. “The area, which was accessible for young families, then started to become unaffordable due to rising housing prices, and people are now paying massive mortgages on houses that were not worth the amount paid for due to being on flood plains. “Scott Morrison told renters that if they want rental assistance they should buy a house, and that is what we did, and look at our situation now. “We do need to build more houses in the area, there is a desperate need for more houses.”

It is parked up to book and use by others, or if I need it, I block the time frame out.” Due to the current need for vehicles in the area, Car Next Door has also offered a generous promotion for those that sign up

to share their vehicle to the cause. Once your vehicle has been booked a $250 bonus will be debited to your account. Use promo code FLOODS250 when signing up. Income from loaning your vehicle generates about 60 to 75% of the hire fee. See the website, or download the ap - www. carnextdoor.com.au

Construction of skate park starts in June Construction of a new state-of-the-art skate park and recreation precinct in Byron Bay will begin in June, with Council awarding the construction contract to Convic – one of the toprated skate park design and build companies in the world. “This particular project is one that the community has been asking for and working towards through

hundreds of community meetings and design workshops over the past 20 years, and we are thrilled that this year we to fruition,” Byron Shire Council Mayor, Michael Lyon, said. The new recreation precinct will be built between the library, the courthouse and the youth activity centre, and will create a safe and direct connection between the

recreation ground and Main Beach. “We’ve got a passionate and active skate community in the Byron Shire, who have helped design a skate park that includes features for all ages and abilities, from small ramps for young beginners to a street section and 10-foot competitionspec bowl for aspiring professionals,” Mayor Lyon said.

“We have also designed a space that is familyfriendly, so the project includes a new amenities block on Middleton St, as well as cultural planting and artwork, yarning circles, shaded seating, barbeques, a bouldering wall and a table tennis table,” he said. The $2.6m project is funded from Council’s pay parking revenue and the NSW Government

signage on site and further community as we draw closer to the start of the works. “It would be fair to say that this is one of the most highly anticipated projects in Byron Bay and we can’t wait to get it built, open and used by everyone,” Mayor Lyon said.

May’s the month for live music in Murwillumbah May will be music month for Murwillumbah when the Live and Local Tweed program swings into action. The program aims to increase live music performance opportunities and support audience and sector development. As part of Live and Local Tweed, there will be a free micro festival held over 3 consecutive Saturdays – 7, 14

and 21 May – with local artists playing at selected venues in Murwillumbah. The music will be on between 10:30 am and 1:45 pm, with 4 local venues hosting gigs each Saturday. The gigs will be small in scale; primarily solo and duo performances that are unplugged and venue ambience. Artists will be paid for their performances

and there will be no cost to the venues for participating in the program. Council’s Cultural Planner Dave Burgener said he was looking forward to the festival. “The live music sector has been one of the hardest-hit industries during the COVID-19 pandemic and then copped another setback with the devastating

March,” Mr Burgener said. “The micro festival connects musicians with venues, activates new spaces for performance and showcases some of the awesome musicians in the Tweed.” Participating venues include: • Sunnyside Shopping Centre; • Keith Murwillumbah;

• Tweed Regional Museum; • Tweed River House; • Wollumbin Dreaming; • Pulp Fiction; and • Johnny Franco’s. Artists performing during the micro fest include Blakboi, Phil & Tiley, Jamie Ashforth, Melissa Black, Murray Kyle, JB & the mms quartet, Jerome Williams and One Of Us Is Lying, with more artists to be announced.

Safe, secure and affordable housing for everyone The Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA) is calling for all parties to make crystal clear how they will deliver safe, secure and affordable housing for Australians who are priced out of the housing market, wondering how they can afford sky rocketing rents, or paying huge energy bills because their home is so poorly insulated. “Over the last year

rents and house prices have surged ahead of wages, and around one-third of people seeking help from homelessness services can’t get their immediate accommodation needs met, up by 29% from 2016,” CHIA’s CEO Wendy Hayhurst said. “Even after receiving Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA), almost half of renters are still in housing stress.

“Recent research shows that underinvestment in social and affordable housing is costing us all tens of millions of dollars per year through the impact on health spending, justice services and employment levels. These costs will only go up, if we fail to act’.” CHIA wants to see all parties committing to a national housing strategy that will galvanise other levels of government, the

sectors to join in: 1. Investing in the construction of 25,000 new social and affordable rental homes per annum; 2. Supporting lower income households to achieve home ownership by supporting a national buildto rent to buy program; and 3. Establishing a national climate resilience fund to support

poorly. Andrew Hannan, CHIA’s chair, explained that the community housing industry was well-placed to take a lead role in working with, and co-investing alongside, governments and the private sector to tackle this big, but solvable national challenge. “The sector now manages over 100,000 homes, has $18 billion

in assets and brings in $1.8 billion every year in revenue. “In our Federal election ‘platform’ CHIA proposes a range of cost-effective ways that could make a major dent in Australia’s affordable housing challenge. “We’re just hoping to see all parties take notice and push the start building button ASAP.”

You may be a late bloomer to gardening, or perhaps you’re a seasoned green thumb; whatever you are, this long-running series sows a seed in viewers’ hearts. For some it’s the beguiling nature of big-bearded host Costa Georgiadis, for others it’s the no-fail, straightforward tips and tricks, but once you’ve dug into this show, your Friday night roots are firmly planted. Your future might soon involve your own personal egg supply after being inspired by Costa and Millie Ross’s (pictured) homemade chook run tonight. Jerry Coleby-Williams explores the colourful world of bougainvilleas and Josh Byrne visits a verdant fern garden in Perth’s dry suburbs.

If you thought you were done and dusted with Big Brother this lifetime, think again. In a turn of events almost too exciting for fans to process without breaking into a Sara-Marie-style bum dance, this new season features well-known past contestants. Besides the fact the reality TV pioneer is returning for its 14th season on its third TV network, it’s certainly a sign of a love when past housemates agree to rendez-vous for the mind games and food rationing once again. Among the series’ 21 housemates, the “royalty” includes 2003 winner Reggie Bird, 2004 winner Trevor Butler and farmer Dave Graham (2006).

TRAVEL 39

Odyssey travel Never has it felt so important to live in the moment – and not delay that adventure of a lifetime. These Australian journeys will remind you just how wide and wonderful the country really is. Iconic rail journeys Vast stretches of outback, tiny frontier towns and the occasional kangaroo (or camel) – crossing Australia by train from east to west is mesmerising and meditative in equal parts. The four-day cross-continent journey on between Sydney and Perth via the Nullarbor Plain, an epic adventure along the world’s

longest stretch of straight railway. Sister train The Ghan crosses Australia from top to bottom. Travelling between Darwin and Adelaide over three days, the luxury journey pairs incredible Red Centre views with immersive off-train experiences. And then there’s The Great Southern, creating a rail arc from Adelaide through Victoria and up to Brisbane, with four days of vineyards, coastal vistas and mountain moments. Legendary road trips Australia was made for roadtripping. An obvious candidate in the ‘legendary’ category is the 846km Great Southern

Touring Route, encompassing Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, where rainforest spills to hidden coves, dramatic rock features stud the coast, and whales breach and blow. Another classic is the Grand the New South Wales coast from Royal National Park, just south of Sydney, down to the Shoalhaven region. That’s 140km of rainforest, powdery beaches, rockpools mention the Sea Cliff Bridge, winding for 665m over the a taste of the spectacular road trips to tick off across the country.

Airborne experiences Outback Australia boasts the kind of pubs you see in movies, where locals are known by name, and the bartender has your order ready before you arrive. Take a sip of the offerings on Classic Safari Company’s pub crawl three states, you’ll see epic landscapes via private plane, and at the end of the day Arcadia Expeditions’ latest offering, a 15-day Indigenous Immersion air safari, travels to parts of northern Australia few others venture to. Your journey here is rewarded with 40,000-year-old rock art and

Dreaming stories diving deep into Australia’s immense history. Bonus: you’ll be in the company of a professor of Indigenous archaeology. Meanwhile, West Aussie Adventures has launched a 5 Marine All-Inclusive Eco in supreme style between Perth and Monkey Mia, Exmouth, Karijini, Broome and more fantasies are a little more bespoke, enlist The Tailor or Southern Crossings to create a private itinerary that captures the holiday moments of your dreams.

Melbourne and Sydney suburbs lead housing value declines CoreLogic’s interactive Mapping the Market tool, updated today, provides an analysis of 3,111 capital city house and unit markets and shows a quarterly decline in values across 23.6% of suburbs, the majority of them in Sydney and Melbourne. Top end and inner-city suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney are seeing a slip in values as higher fixed mortgage rates, affordability and increased buyer choice impacts values at a granular level. CoreLogic’s interactive Mapping the Market, updated today, provides an analysis of 3,111 capital city house and unit markets and shows a quarterly decline in values across 23.6% of suburbs, the majority of them in Sydney and Melbourne. Using the CoreLogic

Home Value Index, a methodology used widely by top economists and institutions, the tool provides a national overview of each suburb’s current median value and quarterly and annual change in values. CoreLogic Head of Research, Eliza Owen, said the quarterly figures confirmed there was a gradual shift from a prolonged period of broad growth to a multi-speed market that differed between capital cities, regions and property types. The CoreLogic March Home Value Index, shows national dwelling values rose 2.4% in the first quarter of 2022, which is lower compared to the same period in 2021, when values increased 5.8%. “High-end and innercity areas are emerging as the first suburbs to

experience this shift in market conditions,” Ms Owen said. “It is likely that slightly tighter lending conditions and higher average fixed rates are hitting the very top of housing markets first. These same areas are seeing some of the bigger jumps in advertised stock levels too so as we see new demand for housing in these areas decline buyers have more choice, more time for decisionmaking, and more power at the negotiating table.” Of the 917 house and unit markets analysed across Sydney through the March 2022 quarter, 354 (or 38.6%) recorded a decline in value. More than half the declines occurred in house markets. Quarterly value declines ranged from -7.2% for houses in

Beaconsfield, 5km south of Sydney’s CBD, to -0.01% for houses in Gladesville on the city’s lower north shore. Almost half of the 648 house and unit Melbourne markets analysed recorded a slip in values in the three months to March (46.8%). Declines ranged from -6.4% across houses in the inner-city suburb of Cremorne, to a -0.01% fall across houses in Boronia. At a broader market level, Ms Owen said Melbourne had recorded two monthly market declines in four months and suburb movements confirmed the city was shifting into the downswing phase in its cycle. “Quarterly declines have been more skewed towards the inner and inner-east of Melbourne, as higher fixed mortgage

Melbourne’s softer conditions, Brisbane and Adelaide continue to shine as Australia’s best performers. Of the 651 house markets analysed across Brisbane and Adelaide, not a single one saw a quarterly or annual decline in values. Minor falls in unit markets meant that less than 1% of markets analysed in these cities saw a quarterly decline. Ms Owen said some of the strongest value gains across the Brisbane house markets were south of Brisbane River where quarterly value increases of around 10% were recorded for Acacia Ridge, Capalaba and Yeronga. Topping the list for Greater Brisbane was Logan Central, where values increased 13.5% in the March quarter.

rates and affordability constraints may be seeing demand slip from the very top end of the market,” she said. “This pattern is mirrored across Sydney, and it’s a pattern that has been observed through previous cycles.” As the housing market cools across Melbourne’s inner city and east, the periphery of the metropolitan is experiencing thriving market conditions. Units across the suburb of Wyndham Vale saw the strongest quarterly increase of Melbourne house and unit markets, at 6.7%. Ms Owen said the surge in more affordable parts of the city could be a result of homebuyers looking for alternative options after being priced out of more central locations. Unlike Sydney and

Nats log win with new Northern NSW forestry deal

The new Northern NSW Private Native Forestry Codes of Practice introduced by the Nationals in NSW Government should help the local timber industry turbocharge flood recovery construction in the Clarence and Richmond Valleys, according to Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis. “We’ve waited for this

for a while and it’s a timely announcement given the difficulties the mills are having in getting a log supply,” Mr Gulaptis said. “That supply is critical given the reconstruction work that is required to rebuild Clarence and Richmond Valley lives and communities after the floods.” The new Code aims to provide certainty

for local landholders and includes simplified operating standards while also allowing landholder to achieve better forest management and environmental outcomes. Mr Gulaptis said landholders would receive increased support and engagement with Local Land Services during the planning stages of forest

in areas of high-value habitat consistent with Government’s commitment, while providing certainty and consistency for primary producers. The protections in the PNF Codes are accompanied by the toughest penalties in Australia for causing harm to threatened species, with penalties of up to $1.65 million

or 2 years imprisonment for harming a threatened species in New South Wales including koalas. The new PNF Codes will come into effect on Monday, 2 May 2022 and are part of the final stage of the Private Native Forestry Review which commenced in 2018. Visit the Local Land Services website www. lls.nsw.gov.au/pnforestry.

Australian bass and estuary perch fishing closure started Recreational fishers are reminded that the annual fishing closure for Australian Bass and Estuary Perch in all rivers and estuaries in NSW started on 1 May. NSW Department Primary Industries (DPI) Fisheries Deputy Director General, Sean Sloan said the zero-bag limit over this four-month period helps protect the native fish species while they spawn over the winter.

“During winter, these popular native sportfish species form large groups and migrate to parts of estuaries with the right salinity to trigger spawning,” Mr. Sloan said. “After recent rainfalls across the State, it is important that fishers respect this closure from 1 May through to 31 August, as the spawning period is key in the species’ survival. “This closure protects

the fish during this spawning period to ensure they can remain a popular catch with recreational fishers for many generations to come.” Mr Sloan said that the zero-bag limit does not apply to Australian Bass and Estuary Perch caught in freshwater dams or in rivers above impoundments, as the fish do not breed in these areas. “All fish in freshwater

impoundments, like Glenbawn Dam and Glennies Creek Dam in the Hunter Valley, Brogo Dam near Bega and Clarrie Hall and Toonumbar Dams in the northeast, are stocked fisheries, meaning anglers may continue to fish for these species in these waters all year round,” Mr Sloan said. “However, any Australian Bass or Estuary Perch caught in estuaries and in rivers

Be on the lookout for spongy moth The NSW community has been asked to look out for signs of spongy moth following recent heavy rainfall, providing an ideal environment for the exotic plant pest to thrive if it were to arrive here. NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Chief Plant Protection Officer, Satendra Kumar, said spongy moth, Lymantria dispar, poses a serious biosecurity risk to Australia. “Spongy moth caterpillars feed on the leaves of more than 600 species of trees, including eucalyptus, fruit and ornamental plants,” Dr Kumar said. “This pest has not been found, and is not wanted, in NSW. With the potential to damage and completely defoliate trees, it could devastate our environment, agribusinesses and horticultural industries.” Spongy moth eradication programs in North America and New Zealand have cost $20 million and more. Moth egg masses, about 40 by 20 mm in size, are covered in yellowish scales, can contain more than 1000 eggs and tolerate extreme

temperatures and moisture. If weather conditions are right, freshly hatched larvae can spin silk threads and drift on air currents for up to eight kilometres. Feeding damage from larvae appears as holes in the leaves or irregular leaf margins. As larvae grow, whole leaves may

be consumed. Each larva consumes about one square metre of leaves in its lifetime. The distinctive hairy caterpillar has five pairs of blue and six pairs of red spots on its back. Grey-brown adult males have a wingspan of 30 to 40 mm. Female moths are pale

yellow with dark brown markings with a 40 to 70 mm wingspan and can fly distances of up to 40 km. Spongy moth, formerly known as gypsy moth, is a notifiable plant pest in NSW – if you think you have found one, call the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881 or send a clear

photograph via an online form or to biosecurity@ dpi.nsw.gov.au with your contact details. More information is available from NSW DPI, https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/ biosecurity/seasonal-pestsand-diseases/other-highrisk-pests-and-diseases/ asian-gypsy-moth

New opportunity for on-farm forests NSW Farmers has welcomed the state to private native forestry codes to ensure the long term sustainability of this important component of land management. The new Farm Forestry Codes of Practice will help farmers manage their native forests with certainty, according to NSW Farmers Conservation and

Resource Management Committee Chair Bronwyn Petrie. “Years have been lost for rural land owners to manage their native forests while the process has been tied up in unnecessary red tape and restrictions,” Mrs Petrie said. “The new codes recognise the responsible management of timber on private land, and seek

to take away the outdated and cumbersome regulations that have to develop this important agricultural land management activity. “With the critical shortage of timber in NSW, we welcome the release of these new codes of practice designed to facilitate this important agricultural industry.”

Private Native Forestry was a sustainable manage private land and contribute to local farming and supporting industries, Mrs Petrie said. However, she said, there was still work to be done to ensure these on farm activities reached their potential. “There is a critical need for timber supplies in NSW and importing

VOLKSWAGEN COMING T-ROC R DOWNUNDER

By !"#$%&!$$!'(

T-Roc R looks hot and even has a Race mode to make it hot at the track. Volkswagen Australia is continuing what it calls its ‘Year of the R’, high-performance flagships, with the first-ever T-Roc R when set to arrive in August priced from $59,300. A 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivers 221kW of power and 400Nm of torque, mated to a seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox with 0-100km/h acceleration in just 4.9 seconds. It will have the Digital Cockpit

Pro, 9.2-inch Discover Pro navigation, wireless phone charging, wireless App-Connect, voice control and DAB+ digital radio. Keyless Access and an electric tailgate with Easy Open and Close function are standard. T-Roc R has the Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE system with Travel Assist, Active Cruise Control, Lane Assist, Side Assist, Park Assist and Rear View Camera. Additional features include

IQ.LIGHT matrix LED headlights with Dynamic Light Assist. It will ride on Estoril 19-inch alloy wheels and have 4MOTION all-wheel drive, adaptive chassis control with Race mode. Volkswagen T-Roc R has an illuminated grille strip with R logo and anodised aluminium trim, matte chrome mirror housings, lowered ride height, an exhaust with quad tailpipes, roof spoiler and gloss black rear diffuser.

By !"#$%&!$$!'(

Honda Accords in Australia are four-door sedans, we don’t get the station wagons here, which is a shame because we once had a wagon for a month on business and holiday trip in the UK and found it exceptionally good. Anyhow, the sedan’s boot space is pretty good, with a wide, low opening which makes it easy to load. Interior space is good in Accord Euro, but adults in the back seats probably need to compromise with those in the front to share legroom. For kids at the pre-teen there’s plenty of space. Gen-eight is slightly better, but we suggest you try one for size to see how it suits. The Accord’s four-cylinder petrol engine has a capacity of 2.4 litres. However, the engine in the Euro is in a sporty state of tune and requires 95 or 98 octane petrol to get the best from it. We know of owners who haven’t been willing to pay the exorbitantly high prices the oil companies charge for premium petrol and always run their Accords on 91 octane. If the car hasn’t been driven hard this is unlikely to have done any harm - but if it has been driven hard… The Accord Euro is offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, though in Australia most are fitted with a five-speed sequential automatic. A virtually all-new 10th generation Accord was launched in December 2020. Two new turbo-petrol and electrified powertrains were sold. One is a 1.5-litre DOHC direct-injected VTEC with dual Variable Timing Control. The other a third-generation Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive two-motor hybrid system with a 2.0-litre DOHC Atkinson-cycle engine paired with two electric motors. The new Accord has a longer wheelbase (+55mm), a shortened overall length (-26mm) a lower overall height (-15mm) and wider body (+12mm). The longer wheelbase means the second-row seats are set further back. Giving Accord 49mm of additional rear legroom. The luggage capacity the boot space has increased by 113 litres to 570 litres. Part of this is due to the repackaging of the hybrid battery pack beneath the rear seats. The A-pillars are 20 per cent narrower and sit further back improve the driver’s view. Interestingly the two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission, instead employing an E-CVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission) New Accord has a 10mm lower centre of gravity. The adoption of lighter-weight turbocharged engines and other body design changes reduced the vehicle’s moment of inertia to give better turn-in and steering response. Both variants of the 10th generation Accord have safety and driver-assist technologies. Honda Sensing includes Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and High Beam Support System. Additional driver-assist technologies include LaneWatch, front and rear parking sensors, Smart Parking Assist with Rear Collision Mitigation Braking System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Driver Inattention Monitor. The Honda dealer network is efficient and we haven’t heard of any real problems with dealers. However, Honda concentrates on the major Australian

population centres. If you have troubles with the car in remote country areas it might take time for parts to be sent out, though it’s unlikely to be more than a few business days. Honda spare parts costs are generally in line with others in this class, perhaps a tad higher for more unusual components. A good amateur, armed with a workshop manual, can tackle some of the routine work. But most should leave it to the professionals. Insurance is generally reasonable as is only to be expected from a car in this conservative market segment.

")#*%*+%,++&%-+.% Look at the condition of the interior, paying special attention to the top of the dashboard and the rear shelf for sun damage. Fading or cracking in these areas can be expensive to repair. The engine should be all but inaudible at idle. Roughness may indicate problems, perhaps very expensive ones. Check there are no oily black stains in the exhaust pipe and on the body around it. Make sure there isn’t a puff of oily looking smoke from the exhaust when the accelerator is floored after the engine has been idling for a minute or so. Automatics should go into gear promptly and their changes should only be noticeable when you’re accelerating hard. Feel and listen for suspension irregularities on rough roads. These cars, particularly the American are softly sprung and may have bottomed out on their suspension if hammered along on poor roads.

Blood pressure checks may save lives GET A BLOOD PRESSURE CHECK

Australians are being urged to get a blood pressure check at their local pharmacy next month as the key step in reducing their risk of stroke. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the greatest modifiable risk factor for stroke. A quick and painless blood pressure check can be all it takes for someone to change their lifestyle and reduce their stroke risk. Each May, Stroke Foundation promotes the importance of blood pressure checking as part of Australia’s Biggest Blood Pressure Check campaign. It coincides with World Hypertension Day on May 17. Stroke Foundation Chief Executive Officer Sharon McGowan says high blood pressure often goes undiagnosed as it has no immediate symptoms. Over time it puts extra stress on blood vessel walls and can cause them to narrow or break down, eventually leading to a stroke. A staggering 4.7 million Australians are living with uncontrolled high

REDUCE YOUR STROKE RISK blood pressure, and many do not realise it. A normal blood pressure measurement is described as around 120 over 80mmHg. A measurement of 140 over 90mmHg is regarded as high blood pressure and puts you at increased risk of stroke, no matter what your age. “In my first year as CEO of Stroke Foundation, by participating in Australia’s biggest blood pressure check campaign, I discovered that I had high blood pressure. Thanks to our very own awareness campaign, my blood pressure is now controlled but it could have been a very different outcome,’ Ms McGowan said. “If there is one thing that we have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that people are keen and able to manage their risk of exposure to illness. We want to apply that mindset to stroke prevention. When 80 per cent of all strokes are preventable, why would you not want to know your risk?”

Pharmacy Guild of Australia’s National President Trent Twomey says community pharmacies are the most accessible health professionals, so it is easy for people to get a blood pressure check. “Most pharmacies provide this service because we recognise just how important keeping an eye on your blood pressure is,” Professor Twomey said.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

PM led by the nose to whisky-led recovery Okay, who isn’t sick of the election campaign? Right. Down the back of the bus, both of you. For the rest of you, you don’t have to listen to another word of the campaign trying to fathom whether they’re telling the truth or just fudging the figures so much they’re in chocolate up to their necks, the answer is simple – just vote Independent. Let’s get 150 of them. How good would that be? Queensland? All the important issues to individual electorates, like rogue crocodiles in Bob Katter’s, could be dealt with on a case by case basis, while the less important stuff would be as the old saying goes, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. (For younger readers that’s old person’s currency that arose between cubits and the dollar). Yes, the lesser issues are simple. Housing crisis? Just build more. Job done, no inquiry required. Education. Fund all students equally and transparently with a premium for schools that aren’t doing so well. How hard was that? Welfare? Give everyone as much as we did during covid…forever. People eat better meaning lower health/dental costs, less crime, so we need fewer police, and since everyone gets it, you don’t need to police who is getting it with things

like RoboDebt. We’d save money by giving it away! How do we afford all of this the naysayers will be nayasking? Maaate, just yesterday the PM gave $4.5million to Tassie whisky distillery, Lark. We can afford anything, except maybe Lark itself. The cheapest thing on Lark’s menu is one 440ml can of beer at $100, although you also get 100ml of whisky with that. Hmm, which do you drink first? The cheapest whisky is $150 (500ml)! Is this the PMs new strategy, a whisky-led recovery? That’s $6000 per barrel, slightly more than oil at the moment. Okay, what about regional security. Actually this is the easiest of them all. Just be nice to all our neighbours, invite them over for wine and cheese and whisky. Serve them Grange, Hill of Grace and a Lark or two…who would not want to be our friend? How do we pay for all this? Perhaps we could properly tax all the people who can afford Grange, Hill of Grace and Lark whisky. We could call it the trickle-down tax.

Lark (Tasmania) Classic Cask Single Malt Whisky, $200 (500ml) or $60 (100ml as one of a three tasting pack). Okay that may sound expensive, and you’d think with $4.5mill from the government they’d be able to keep a lid on prices, but wait, it’s still cheaper than Grange and HoG per ml, which is about how much most people can afford. 9.6/10. Lark (Tasmania) Symphony No.1 Whisky, $150 (500ml) or as above $60 (100ml tasting pack). Entry level stuff as the price indicates and apart from being the cheapest in the range, is easily the smoothest and most drinkable of the tasting trio for whisky non-regulars. 9.4/10. Euchareena Road Orange NSW Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, $25. 2016 is quite old for wine, but nothing in whisky circles so you get much more bang for your buck in volume at least. Three cents per ml is a bargain so you won’t feel the need to lick the glass, although you might, it’s a good, solid and sound cabernet. 9.4/10. Euchareena Road Merlot 2016, $25. Merlot has taken a bit of a back seat in the wine realm in recent years, and no-one seems keen to make a really flash one which is possibly a good thing. The standard is good and eminently drinkable and it keeps the lid on cost. 9.2/10. Meerea Park Indie Hunter Valley Marsanne Roussanne 2021, $30. This is wild out-there sort of gear befitting the name and the grapes. There’s so much going on it’s like a festival in a bottle or maybe a vigneron’s market. Wild but not untameable. 9.2/10. Meerea Park Indie Hunter Valley Finger Lime Gin, $80. Clean, green and lean, you can actually taste the lime. Spirited and characterful without overdoing the botanicals…I feel a lime Negroni coming on. 9.5/10.

Always striving to prove yourself is an unnecessary waste of energy; to unwisely risk your well-being for the sake of others - a mistake.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 22

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23 Your noticeably fearless approach impresses, you have the stamina to tackle any task. Unafraid you take on more commitments even though you’ve enough to do already. You approach things in a rather unstructured way and try to get too many things done at once. Make sure you don’t waste time on irrelevant details or lose your temper in the process. Be willing to make compromises in your relationship; if you don’t you may be in for a lot of arguments. Pay attention to the signals your body sends you. You You feel rather passionate; a quickie is certainly exciting, but not recommended all the time.

This is quite exhausting and unnerving, which tends to put you on edge. Make sure you keep your temper and avoid unnecessarily showing your displeasure towards those you are supposed to care about most. Practice more self-restraint and be more careful about how you treat others. Treat yourself to a calm and relaxing break, use the time to readjust plans and coordinate them with your partner and your family. If you’re encountering problems in your relationship, you’re probably the one to blame. As long as you keep trying your partner’s patience, you won’t get the peace and harmony you so want. Convince them with a compelling argument, rather than using the brute-force. If you take the middle way of compromise, much of the problem will dissolve into the ether and be forgotten.

Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 21

Better to think beforehand and not be so rash, don’t make unnecessary enemies of those close to you, such insensitivity offends your loved ones. If you allow this to happen you’re likely to need a great deal of patience and tact to rectify the situation. Your hyper-energy level is particularly noticeable. You’re ready to tackle some of the tensions that have built up over time between you. Be careful that you don’t overwhelm your lover. Not everyone can keep up or cope with such a passionate approach! The same applies if you’re single and looking for a relationship. Don’t rush; instead wait for the things to come to you.

This year the theme is: Let go. After two years of COVID, and the we think ‘Let go’ is a good theme for right now. It could mean let go of an object, like a rope, a safety net, a balloon, a leash, the handlebars, an oar, a waterbomb or a plate full of cakes. It could also mean letting go of your fears, hopes, regrets, bad decisions or bad habits. It could mean letting go of the past. You can interpret the theme any way you like. ‘The Long Way Home’ is about our stories and who we are. It’s about what makes this place so special and unique,’ said the winner of last year’s open category, Kathryn Goldie. Everyone from schoolkids to adults is invited to send something in. The competition is open to new, emerging and established writers. This written something, or perhaps you have been writing for years. Let the theme inspire you, and start putting down some words! We asked Claire Aman, one of the Long Way Home directors, what she expected to read collecting stories from across every part of the Clarence Valley, I can say the local writers just get better and better! Have you read the winners from the latest book? They’re amazing,’ said Aman. ‘So, this year, I want to see how creative our local writers are with the theme. I expect to be surprised, shocked, moved – and to laugh lots.’ is published every year in a beautifully designed and printed book. ‘Stories From the Clarence Valley 2021 - Look Up’, is available online.

Greg Morrison, 07 5524 5743 TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW CLUB VIEW Clubs call on volunteers to reconnect with community after a challenging year TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW Club is calling on members of the community to consider volunteering for children’s education charity, The Smith Family, as part of National Volunteer Week (16-22 May). VIEW (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) is a leading women’s organisation with close to 300 clubs across Australia, all dedicated to supporting children in need with their education through The Smith Family. Members do this through community fundraising, spreading aware-ness, and volunteering. One of the key themes for National Volunteer Week this year is about bringing people together through volunteering, which TWIN TOWNS DAY Club President Kathie said is more important than ever before. “Last year, COVID meant we couldn’t have that hands-on connection with the community, which was really hard for a lot of people. “Volunteering is a great way to get back out there, make friends, and feel like you’re really making a difference to the lives of young people and their families,” she said. Members of TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW Club volunteer for The Smith Family by paying for school fees for seven Learning for Life children especially selected for our club by The Smith Family President Kathie said “There are many opportunities for people to help out”. “We are always looking for women to join us in supporting The Smith Family and we’d en-courage anyone interested to get in touch and come along to our next meeting to learn more about VIEW.” The Smith Family’s CEO, Doug Taylor, said that volunteers have played a vital role in deliver-ing muchneeded support for its work during a particularly disruptive period. “It’s been a tumultuous year with the impacts of COVID-19 and most recently, the devastat-ing weather conditions across Queensland and New South Wales affecting so many Australi-ans,” Taylor said. “We are very grateful to all VIEW members for continuing to donate their time and energy throughout these times. “And while volunteering provides a fantastic opportunity to give back, it’s also about building a community and support network that makes such a positive differ-ence to everyone involved,” he added. about TWIN TOWNS DAY VIEW Club contact [Presi-dent Kathie on 0407709629 or visit www.view.org. au.

Rebels pounce on Panthers TIM HOWARD The South Grafton Rebels have bounced back in emphatic fashion with a 40-14 thrashing of the Sawtell Panthers at Rex Hardaker Oval, Sawtell, on Sunday. The Rebels scored eight tries to three but had to overcome some last minute player issues when several players were involved in a minor car accident on the morning of the game. Rebels coach Ron Gordon said it was important for the team conceding a heavy scoreline to cross-town rivals the Grafton Ghosts the previous week. “Yeah, we needed a win after last week’s performance,” Gordon said. “And it was a good result because the scoreline didn’t really

The South Grafton defence worked just as hard as the attack in the 40-14 win over Sawtell Panthers.

was played.” Gordon said the Rebels jumped out to an with Nicholas McGrady, Michael Wright and Keiron Johnson Heron scoring tries as the Rebels piled on 16 unanswered points. “We had to make some interchanges soon after that and we lost a bit of momentum after the good start,” Gordon said. “They were able to score one or two tries before halt time. So it

Damion Dumas 1 conversion. was all to play for at half time.” Gordon was delighted with the way the Rebels put away the Panthers after the break. “The Panthers never gave up, so it was a good effort from us to put them away like that,” he said. Gordon said his young prop Jack Pitkin was his pick for a non-stop 80-minute effort. “I coached him in under-18s and brought season,” the coach said. “He got all the boys’ votes for players player after the game.” Gordon was also impressed with the effort of Johnson-Heron at fullback. “Keiron was one of the

players called up after the car accident this morning,” Gordon said. “He was thrown in at the last minute and he did everything you could ask of him.” Skipper Lewis Cooper also had another blinder, leading from the front. Gordon said he hoped all players would be available for next week’s game at home against the Orara Axemen. “Young Brian Quinlan out choice for fullback and he was in the car accident,” he said. “He was probably more shaken up than hurt, but I didn’t want to put him under any more pressure after what happened this morning. “I don’t think there were any serious injuries, we’ll be right next week.” Gordon said he is looking forward to getting a home game at last. “We were scheduled to play at home last week and this week, but couldn’t because the ground’s been too wet,” he said. The visit to Sawtell was a clean sweep for the Rebels with the reserve grade winning 38-32, the under-18s 30-18 and the Ladies League Tag 2-nil. All other Group 2 games in the round were postponed due to the state of the grounds.

Sport Australia launches worldclass course for community coaches Sport Australia has launched a free, online course to help the 500,000 community coaches across the country deliver worldclass, fun and inclusive sporting experiences for everyone. The new Community Coaching Essential Skills Course has been developed in collaboration with sports

whole sector, supporting local clubs, their volunteer coaches and most importantly every player and athlete. Australian Sports Commission (ASC) CEO Kieren Perkins OAM said the launch of this free course was a key part of Sport Australia’s new approach to community coaching. “Being a coach is more than just skills and

drills. The environment a coach creates is critical to delivering a positive sporting experience, encouraging more people to play and stay in organised sport,” Perkins said. “To help coaches achieve this, we’ve designed the new Essential Skills course to shake up traditional community coach education.”

Over the coming months, Sport Australia will deliver more resources to support coaches including webinars, new podcasts, and master classes. The new Essential Skills Course replaces the Community Coaching General Principles Course and can be accessed via the Australian Sport Learning Centre.
