GET READY FOR THE FIRE SEASON The fire season is only weeks away and already there are signs of dry grass and high fuel loads, combined with strong westerly winds, which make for a deadly combination. The Weekly caught up with some of our fire brigades this
week to encourage Tweed Shire residents to get ready for another potentially hot and dangerous summer. Pictured on the front page is Murwillumbah Fire Captain Joe Frankland (centre), Murwillumbah Fire Brigade

Bubble trouble causing mental health issues $8,500 in lost revenue and having to rely on JobKeeper,” Ms Ryan said. “Everything had just started really kicking off again with social restrictions easing. “My mother is in ICU on the Gold Coast and I basically have to drive to the border and apply there hoping for an urgent exemption. “I’m lost as to what to do, this affects me personally and with my business. “ I t ’s a h o r re n d o u s e m o t i o n a l rollercoaster I’m trying to deal with right now and I desperately hope this confusion comes to an end.” Burringbar’s Shari Young said she posted on social media about the new restrictions and was “flooded with stories”. “People can’t get cancer treatment because they can’t get through to John Flynn Hospital,” Ms Young said. “These things really concern me, it’s crazy and it doesn’t even make sense. “Now all these stories are coming out about medical people not being able to go to work because they live in Queensland and people that need emergency dental care couldn’t get it. “It’s affecting a lot of people and no doubt it will be affecting a lot of Gold Coast people and I’m just appalled at the stories.” Gold Coast Health announced that patients south of the border zone who receive urgent treatment such as chemotherapy or renal dialysis can apply for an exemption but anyone driving you to an appointment “can only drop you at the hospital before heading directly to one of the government quarantine hotels to wait for your treatment to finish”.
By Jonathon Howard PLANS FOR a giant ferris wheel at Jack Evans Boat Harbour have been postponed due to border restrictions, but the company is set to return in mid-2021. An application by Xtra Ordinary Events to operate their Observation Wheel was approved by Tweed Shire Councillors during their monthly meeting on Thursday, August 6. The observation wheel is the tallest travelling portable ferris wheel in Australia and measures 35-metres high, with 24 gondolas and can seat up to 144 people at one time. Jack Evans Boat Harbour was scheduled to host the ferris wheel on Monday, August 31, but has now been postponed until mid-2021. Xtra Ordinary Events Director Jay Jones told The Weekly his team was keen to come around the end of August,
but the changing nature of the border controls measures made the business “unsure if we will come this year”. “We have the councillor approval to keep that licence valid for 24 months, which is great,” he said. “But at this stage we are not coming to the Tweed Heads location, until further notice, due to the ever-changing border restrictions. “We are just trying to keep our staff employed at the moment.” Mr Jones said a single movement of the ferris wheel costs the company around $80,000. Councillors voted unanimously to approve the operation of the ferris wheel for five and a half weeks. “It was received very well from the councillors and local businesses, who were supportive, as well as working closely with the Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce.
“It would be more likely Easter in 2021, but the perfect time would be June/ July in 2021, sunset being a bit earlier. Quite a big part of our clientele is the elderly, who are largely in lockdown at the moment. “Wrapped to have the councillors say we can come in the next 24 months, which is great. “We’re excited to come to the Tweed Shire and we look forward to working with the local community.”

campus until week eight, so that they can get a gauge on what is happening and how many students are affected,” she said. “I started studying full-time in my master’s this year and all I have experienced has been COVID study. “I was doing 40 hours of study a week with three children at home – my worst nightmare. “I’m less worried about COVID and more about people’s mental health.” Another Tweed resident who works in Brisbane said she was on her second day off work from her full-time job of more than 20 years, while she tried to apply for an exemption “which more than likely won’t be approved as the criteria for exemption is very strict and the forms are really not workable for daily travel to work and back”. “This means I may lose my job or have to use all of my long service leave until border restrictions ease,” she said. “I also can’t visit my elderly mother, who lives on her own and has only me for support if she needs me as she also lives outside the bubble. “Not to mention the anxiety and stress this is causing me and my family while I just sit at home waiting on an answer to whether I’m allowed to continue to go to work or not. “All this could be fixed if they just eased the restrictions on who is an essential worker to how it was during the last border closure before the bubble.” Burringbar’s Hayley Ryan is currently outside the bubble. She runs Ivy Trove macrame workshops and has eight bookings for the Brisbane and Gold Coast areas as well as Byron Bay. “Sadly, I don’t know what this means for my business, but I’m looking at losing

By Jo Kennett THE TWEED Shire has been thrown into absolute chaos since the new border bubble restrictions came into force with workers, students and medical patients finding themselves locked out of Queensland. South Golden Beach 2483 resident Lauren Gray teaches at Mudgeeraba and was shocked to learn she’s been locked out. “Apparently teachers aren’t essential workers,” Ms Gray told The Weekly. “I’m very fortunate to work for the government and still be able to get paid unlike lots of other people in this situation.” One Tweed mother-of-two, who preferred not to be named, said her children’s father lives in Brisbane. “We have been doing shared parenting every fortnight for the last six years,” she said. “We don’t have formal custody court papers, as this has always been our mutual agreement between us both. “Once I told the children they couldn’t go see him, of course they were extremely upset as they love their dad. “I have called the hotline and spoken to the people there and I have applied for an exemption from the Chief Health Officer, but don’t really give that much hope. “It could be months before they see their father now and I feel incredibly heartbroken for them.” Casuarina’s Lina Noonan is studying a Master of Osteopathic Medicine at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast and had just been told all face-toface classes were cancelled. “The university has cancelled classes across both Lismore and the Gold Coast

Border dweller concerns
As a NSW border resident I wanted to check what my husband and I would need should we need to see a specialist in Brisbane. I would have thought proof of the appointment would be sufficient. According to Queensland Health, we have to spend 14 days in quarantine at our expense to attend a single specialist appointment. There is no way anyone would be able to do this, those of us living on the border in NSW are not living in a big city. To head to Sydney to a specialist it is 10 hours, Brisbane is two hours, it is not rocket science for NSW border dwellers to head to Queensland. To me, Annastacia Palaszczuk, in her wisdom, is preventing NSW border residents from getting specialist healthcare in Brisbane. Marianne Melnikas, Banora Point
Pittance for councillors a disgrace
Tweed Shire Councillors’ pay is a disgrace and I had no idea councillors were working as parttime volunteers. We all expect much of our councillors whom we elect to ensure we live in the best part of the country. If we want the right calibre of representative, we should be prepared to pay them. None of us would work for $24,000 per annum. Our Councillors are doing a great job. We must reward them. Leigh Kealton, Casuarina

Woolies success story not likely Woolworths is welcome in my A Woolworths store here would be book
unlikely to attract those shoppers who currently travel to Tweed Heads for their weekly shop. Those we know who go there don’t go to Woolies but to an alternative supermarket; they would not be likely to visit a local Woolies store instead. Woolies might want to capture some local market share with a store here, but with a diminutive building on smaller scale than Sunnyside, that seems to be unlikely to happen. More importantly, if the site was donated to Council for recreational use, as quoted in last week’s story, then it should be retained for that purpose. Once developed it would never again be used for any future recreational use – who would have thought 10 years ago that we would need a skate park? Meanwhile, with very little expenditure – demolishing the fireravaged building, providing fencing, cardboard poo-collection dispenser and a compost bin, it would make a great off-leash dog exercise area. Rosemary and Jim Berting, Murwillumbah
Could Woolies think outside the box
A new building in a choice site in a town known for its art and green outlook, what an opportunity for Woolworths to design and build a different façade and place it in a park-like setting with native subtropical plants. Surely it won’t cost too much to tweak the usual Woolworths façade to fit in with the M|Arts Precinct. Views of (Wollumbin) Mount Warning and the Tweed River would complete the picture. Elizabeth Ashby, Murwillumbah
Does the Tweed need another Woolies?
Can someone explain why the Tweed needs another Woolworths, you have just got to look at the food providers around Coolangatta, Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah central with local organic markets blossoming around the Tweed. That old adage we are creating jobs is rubbish with technology these days and self serve. The existing IGA and Coles in Murwillumbah should suffice for locals including the markets providing the essential greens. The council should buy the existing site off Woolworths for a future park for children and access to barbecue facilities that all the community can utilise. Save the river view. Peter Lazer, Bilambil
I would love to see Woolworths in town. More jobs, more growth, more choice, otherwise the town stagnates. For recreational use, how about an indoor sports facility such as a squash court or multi-use ball sports? Just do something with the derelict eyesore that it is now, rather than drag this out for years. Liz O, Murwillumbah
More questions than answers on Woolworths proposal
I read the advertisement in the local paper, Tweed Valley Weekly. I have a number of questions I need answers to before I am able to make an informed decision. I would like to see the plans and drawings, size of the building and its intended uses. I imagine that these are complete if Woolworths is prepared to make such a sizeable investment. What infrastructure upgrades, for example roads, footpaths, water and electricity are to be provided by Woolworths? Is the new store to be purely groceries or will other specialty retailers under the Woolworths banner be included such as BWS, Dan Murphy’s or Big W? Will separate tenancies be available for other retailers? I would like to see where the vehicle access is, parking and heavy vehicle routes and delivery times. What are the operating hours? Are the much talked about 170 jobs full-time positions or will they be mostly part-time and casual? Will recruiting be restricted to the 2484 postcode? The information provided talks about a 10 to 15 per cent downturn to businesses in the CBD. This equates to a loss of one in seven jobs or the closing of one in 10 businesses in the Murwillumbah CBD. What is the business plan and where is the market research that indicates that the community requires and can sustain another grocery retailer in Murwillumbah? The 2484 postcode takes in the whole of the upper Tweed Valley. My research indicates that there are approximately 2,462 dwellings in the 2484 postcode. The average spend per households on groceries is $250 per week. This equates to a total of $600K per week. If the new Woolworths takes a third of this, $200K, and the advertised 170 employees takes home an average $800 or even $500 per week, how does the store propose to be viable?
What is the B Plan if the store is not economically viable? Price cut to destroy your competition. Sell off the building or abandon it, like what happened in Ipswich and Port Macquarie? Do Woolworths stores source product direct from local agriculture and manufacturing industries? I see that Woolworths supports a number of big picture organisations such as Oz Harvest, Sydney Zoo, Qld Royal Flying Doctors and Food Bank. D o e s Wo o lwo r t h s p rov i d e donations and sponsorship to local junior sport and community organisations? Does Woolworths provide items for local raffles, local community events and fundraisers? If Woolworths proposes to remove the 1.5 hectares of land zoned for recreational use from the centre of Murwillumbah are they going to provide a same or similar zoned land or facility elsewhere in Murwillumbah for the enjoyment of the community? Bill Larkin, Murwillumbah
Concerned by Dungay caravan park
We are two concerned seniors residing opposite the proposed Dungay Caravan Park entrance, having lived most of our lives in rural areas so we can enjoy the natural landscapes and quiet rural settings. It is now frustrating to have a majority of councillors work towards the development approval, which is completely against the Tweed Shire Council (TSC) assessment team, who has recommended refusal. Approval would create a new Tweed village by more than doubling Dungay’s population to become the largest village in the shire. Of major concern is the additional traffic to be generated by the development, more than doubling traffic movements on Tomewin Road. This will generate excessive noise to an otherwise peaceful environment and will be a safety issue when combined with heavy trucks and cane haulage equipment operating in our area. Some of this traffic will be leaving or entering the park at night causing light penetration into our bedrooms as well as our neighbours’ residences. The noise and light spill generated by the proposed development will also affect everyone in the immediate area. The Dungay way of life will be destroyed for all. A phone call to misguided councillors during the night complaining of a lack of sleep would be more than justified.
Another of the many concerns we have with this development is that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that it passes the “sustainable agriculture test” whilst destroying the site for future agricultural use. D P I h av e s t at e d t h at t h e d eve l o p m e n t w i l l n o d o u b t compromise the site and surrounding farms due to its incompatibility. How long will it be before park residents complain about seasonal cane harvesters operating before dawn or after dark, heavy trucks collecting harvested cane 24/7, mud on the road or black snow problems, noise from tractors, bellowing cattle and so on. The Dungay area was never designed to accept such a large population increase and it is not in TSC future planning to change this policy. Other areas exist in the shire that are closer to urban areas which are flood free and have access to more amenities including medical services. T h i s i s s i m p ly t h e w ro n g development for this area. The safety of elderly park residents is of utmost importance. W & J Brown, Dungay
Please slow down for animals
Last week I was driving home on Tyalgum Road when I saw something large fluttering on the road. My first thought was it was a few crows eating roadkill, but on closer approach I noticed it was a water hen struggling, unable to get up off the road. After pulling over and leaping out of my car, in horror, I saw a car approaching on his side of the road. I stretched out my arms towards the driver in a “stop” gesture, but the driver ignored me and went over the animal. What these kinds of drivers don’t realise is that when they hit an animal, they not only hurt that animal but also its mate, the rescuer and wildlife carer/vet staff if there are any. I am not the only one who cares about wildlife in this shire. Please slow down when you see native animals on the road trying to cross or grazing. Is it too much to ask? Have compassion or else maybe one day you will be the one hit by a speeding car driven by someone who just does not care. It’s called karma.

GUARANTEED! Cr Byrnes said he voted against the motion as he felt it was poor timing and the need to manage Council finances appropriately. “I voted against the rise because I felt it was inappropriate for councillors to receive a pay rise when many families and workers in the Tweed Shire are out of a job or struggling to put bread on the table,” he said. “During this crisis so many are going without. I believe the council has a leadership role during this crisis to show we are managing the shire’s finances appropriately with a focus on the right priorities. The priority is not the councillors’ pockets.” The Weekly received several letters in relation to the pay rise (see Letters page). “I had no idea councillors were working as part-time volunteers,” one letter writer said. “We all expect much of our councillors whom we elect to ensure we live in the best part of the country. “None of us would work for $24,000 per annum.”

loss of income. No one is aware when this virus pandemic will be controlled. “As a Tweed business leader and Tweed councillor, I understand their anguish of financial uncertainty which has an enormous effect on all. “Councillors should have compassion and understanding of how we can support our community. “This means us all making sacrifices to support each other within our community. Councillors should not be accepting any pay increase; it is not the time.” Cr Reece Byrnes and Cr Pryce Allsop also voted against the motion for similar reasons and felt the timing was not ideal for a pay rise. Mayor Katie Milne, Cr Chris Cherry, Cr James Owen and Cr Ron Cooper disagreed and a majority vote, following some amendments, was carried. “I am glad it was agreed by the majority of councillors to accept this recategorisation and the resulting pay change,” Cr Cherry said. “It is reflective of our increased role as Tweed grows in population and the time it takes to fulfil our roles as best we can.”

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors voted to give themselves a pay rise during their monthly meeting on Thursday, August 6, with Cr Chris Cherry highlighting that councillors were being paid a “pittance to perform a highly valued role”. The pay rise translates to a $4,040 increase to each councillors’ annual pay, from about $20,302 to $24,040, or a 20 per cent increase. The mayor’s pay will increase to $60,080 per annum, an increase of $15,830 or 36 per cent. Councillors are also paid for their expenses. “$24,000 for the job that we do is a pittance and it is an unsustainable system,” Cr Cherry told The Weekly prior to the vote. “Not paying councillors a reasonable amount for the work that is done only encourages people to look for other kickbacks from the job. “They want honesty and integrity and transparency, and paying our councillors to represent the community rather than the big money in town is part of that.” Councillors faced off with some spirited debate from Cr Warren Polglase, who objected to the pay rise, highlighting the plight of many businesses during the coronavirus pandemic. “I am in disappointed in Tweed councillors Milne, Cherry, Cooper and Owen who failed to support a no increase in the rates for Tweed Council but then voted for a 2.6 per cent rate increase,” Cr Polglase said. “Now they have voted themselves a 20 per cent pay increase for councillors and 36 per cent for the mayor. “We are in uncertain times which is challenging for Tweed families facing loss of jobs and Tweed small businesses facing

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Flood fears raised over Bogangar development Don’t be pushed to buy off the plan before the new laws start Tough new laws governing the building, construction and certification of apartment buildings have been passed by parliament to protect purchasers. Buyers are warned to be wary of pressure to settle before the legislation comes into force on 1 September. The new laws give authority to the NSW Building Commissioner to order the correction of “serious defects” in residential apartment buildings. Merrill Phillips, award-winning conveyancer at Stacks Law Firm, said under the new laws developers can be ordered to rectify building work if, in the words of the government, there is a “reasonable belief the building work was or is being carried out in a manner that could result in a serious defect”. The new laws are contained in the NSW Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020 and the NSW Design and Building Practitioners Act 2019. “An important part of the legislation says the powers of intervention can be used up to ten years after an occupation certificate is issued,” Ms Phillips said. “The commissioner can delay the issuing of an occupation certificate if the builder used banned building products, or finds defects that make the building uninhabitable. “Without an occupation certificate, developers can’t settle the sale of apartments, most of which are off the plan, with deposits taken. “The definition of ‘serious defect’ also includes failure to comply with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia.” The code was strengthened after the horrific fires blamed on cheap flammable cladding. A building commissioner was appointed after the building failures at Opal and Mascot towers. Ms Phillips said property buyers should be on alert for developers who try to rush occupation certificates through before the start of the new laws. “From September, buyers can’t be forced to settle on properties with defects, as no occupation certificate means no sales are allowed until the building complies with the standards in the Building Code. “Buyers, especially those buying off the plan, would be wise to get expert advice before they settle on buying new properties, to make sure the building complies with the tougher new standards. “Building Commissioner David Chandler says about 20 per cent of apartment buildings in NSW had significant problems, such as structural, waterproofing and fire-rating systems that he needed to resolve. “Developers will be rated on their record of building failures, financial problems, complaints and insurance claims, which will prove invaluable to buyers.
By Jo Kennett A GROUP of concerned Bogangar residents met on Friday, August 7, to discuss their concerns around works at a new development site, which they believe could exacerbate flooding. The development, at 79 Tamarind Avenue, is a two-stage subdivision with two lots in the first stage and a 12-lot community title subdivision and associated civil works in stage two, which was approved last year. Tamarind Avenue resident Dominique Williams said a recent community meeting was “very productive”. “Despite the rain, around 25 residents turned up and all participants clearly understood the issues and all had interesting insights and history,” Ms Williams said. “ We fo r m e d B o g a n g a r O v e r Water (BOW), a group of residents campaigning to minimise and mitigate flooding in the Bogangar area. “This includes opposing detrimental developments and pressuring all areas of government to create and action plans to reduce flooding and provide the community with transparency. “There is a meeting with local government and Geoff Provest at the end of this month and the group will continue to speak with all stakeholders.” One member of the group posted online, that in February this year, some residents on the northern side of the street “found themselves in deeper water than expected due to a dam created by fill being dumped on the block preventing water from returning to the lake in its normal fashion”. “Now it seems the council have not only not ordered the fill removed or even
engineered a solution for the affected ratepayers, they’ve greenlighted the area to be raised similar to the Kingscoast development in Chinderah in what one can only imagine will cause worse flooding for existing residents in the future. Madness in the name of money,” a resident posted online, but did not want to be named. “I know the area is flood prone but surely the current Tamarind residents deserve better protection or at least a hope for a better outcome in rain events in the future, not just having to look up at their new high and dry neighbours while their homes and assets go under again. “I feel like the council owes them that much at least before this goes ahead.” Tamarind Avenue resident Nette Hilton organised the meeting. “I’m an author and I don’t know what’s going on a lot of the time, but I walked down the hill and saw this giant heap of dirt and I was truly gobsmacked at what that will do to us as far as flooding goes,” Ms Hilton said. “People who are developing are going to make a bucket load of money, but if you are going to make a bucket load of money, you should be looking at it creating a different water level and how you can get it away. “It’s no good running it to the lake because whenever we have a rain event
the lake rises and the water runs back up the pipes to us. “I’ve got newspaper articles about it and in each article people say, ‘I haven’t seen water this deep before, but then there’s been a lot of development since then’ and that’s going back to 2006. “It’s not just that development, it’s development that’s happening in pockets all around us and no one is saying, ‘we should back up and look at the infrastructure, we should back up and look at the waterways’. “There is another development on the other side of Clothiers Creek Road with 15 lots, but there has been cyclones up and down this coast and we are just waiting for the next big hit.” Tweed Shire Council’s Director of Planning and Regulation, Vince Connell, said Council had conducted “a thorough assessment of localised flooding and drainage issues affecting this site and its neighbouring properties in a recent approval of a staged subdivision for future residential use”. “Council continues to work with the owner of the subdivision site to ensure appropriate engineering and construction conditions are adhered to in order to minimise the risk of any future flooding impacts in this locality,” he said.

COVID-19 requirements, but entered the establishment regardless, before allegedly intimidating and threatening the manager,” police said. “On arrival, police located the 38-yearold man, and his associates, in the car park and requested their details, before the man became aggressive and abusive towards the officers. “A second man, aged 29, also became aggressive and was swearing at police, while the rest of the group walked away.” Police said the 38-year-old again refused to provide details and continued to act in an aggressive manner. He was arrested and while he was being placed
into the police van, the younger man continued to swear at police. “The younger man was issued an infringement for offensive language and given a move-on direction, while the older man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station,” police said. The 38-year-old will now face a range of charges including intimidating police, stalking and intimidating, failing to leave premises when asked, using offensive language and not complying with COVID-19 directives. The man was refused bail and was scheduled to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on Tuesday, August 11.

Tweed continues to grow The population of the Tweed has topped 97,000, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) update. The ABS recently released its annual update on local populations and regional population growth. Figures showed the Tweed Shire Estimated Resident Population for 2019 was 97,001, with a population density of 0.74 people per hectare. The population grew by 1.02 per cent on the previous year’s figures and is expected to hit 100,000 in the next few years and reach 132,221 by 2041. The Tweed has grown faster than the Regional NSW average population growth of 0.82 per cent. You can view a range of statistics for the Tweed and smaller areas by visiting the Tweed Shire Community Profile at profile.id.com.au/tweed For more information about the demographic resources available or assistance in moving your business to the Tweed or expanding in the Tweed Shire, contact Council’s Land and Economic Development team on 02 6670 2165, email business@tweed.nsw.gov.au or go to business.thetweed.com.au 2019 2018

Call to help monitor Tweed dolphin population Local charity Dolphin Research Australia is calling on the Tweed community to help monitor the dolphin population of the region. Founding Director of Dolphin Research Australia Dr Elizabeth Hawkins said her organisation was asking Tweed residents to become Dolphin Watch citizen scientists and report sightings to help monitor local populations. Since 2018, Dolphin Research Australia, in partnership with Tweed Shire Council, has been monitoring dolphins through monthly surveys that cover the Tweed River estuary. “We are particularly interested in the dolphins that use the estuary on a regular basis as these individuals represent some of the most vulnerable in our coastal population,” Dr Hawkins said. “The research has revealed that the Tweed River is an important feeding habitat for a small resident community, primarily consisting of mothers and calves. “Over the past few months, we have seen fewer dolphins on our surveys in the river compared to previous years and we are not sure why. With the help of the community, we can try to solve this mystery.” Learn how you can become a Dolphin Watch citizen scientist and report dolphin sightings through Dolphin Research Australia’s website at www.dolphinresearchaustralia.org

Can you grow any of our community markets? Tweed Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest from individuals or groups to run one or more of Tweed’s seven community markets from 1 November 2020 to 31 October 2023. Expressions must address specific issues for the provision of food for sale, stall types, waste avoidance/sustainability and enhancing community and cultural experiences. “This is an exciting time for the Tweed’s community markets as we

want them to grow and become cultural and community experiences which are sustainable in terms of waste,” Council’s Manager Building and Environmental Health Denise Galle said. “Our current markets are fantastic and Council would like to grow these markets to provide more opportunities for local goods, services, arts, crafts and organic products, as well as entertainment, such as musicians, buskers and artists.” Tweed markets are held at Kingscliff Beach, Kingscliff – Salt, Tweed Heads, Pottsville and Murwillumbah. Applicants are advised to read the Market Management Plan Guidelines 2020 and the Markets Policy 2020 before beginning their expression of interest at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/markets The policy sets out the location, frequency and operating times of the individual markets and the terms of the development consent for each location. The guidelines include the ‘Market Management Plan Assessment Matrix’, which documents the assessment criteria and weightings and contains a checklist of all the relevant information an expression needs to address. “The expression of interest is a comprehensive submission process and to be successful applicants need to fully understand the requirements of the market management we seek,” Ms Galle said. Expressions of interest close at 4pm, Wednesday 26 August 2020. To assist applicants to understand the requirements and assessment process, Council staff will be available for appointments on Wednesdays from 9am to 12 noon. To book an appointment or for more information, contact Council’s Environmental Health Section by calling 02 6670 2400 or emailing tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/tenders/current to register your expression of interest.

Get set to hit the high notes through an innovative approach to communal singing, thanks to Tweed Shire Council’s Community Services team. Council had to cancel its Friday afternoon ‘Singing For Fun’ event at the Banora Point Community Centre due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But rather than let go of the event that brings people together through music, ‘Singing For Fun’ has been taken online, allowing anyone from across the Tweed to join in, put their vocal talents to the test and meet people at the same time. To sign on for singing, call Community Services on 07 5569 3110 or email communityservices@tweed.nsw.gov.au. Then, at the start of the week, you will be sent the words to six songs and login details for Council’s BlueJeans jam. Join the jam on the BlueJeans portal on Thursday at 10am and sing-a-long for half an hour. The sessions are led by music therapist Shannon Rees. Don’t worry if you can’t carry a note, you can sing as loud as you like as all participants are muted and the only sound heard is Shannon on guitar. In between songs, there’s an opportunity to chat and meet your fellow singers. Each session generally features a theme so there’s an opportunity to learn new songs each week. Anyone who finds signing on a little tricky can call Community Services for help over the phone.
Tweed Shire Council Community Services Project Support Officer and ‘Singing For Fun’ moderator Lyn Porter makes a connection with participants.

Wet July boosts Tweed’s river flows A wet July has possibly saved the Tweed from facing water restrictions later this year. While the rain of April and May was well below average, June and July have brought relief. April was the second driest April on record for almost 50 years, with just 16.5mm of rain against an average 150.6mm. Only 1997 was drier with just 14.2mm. In May, we received less than half our average falls at Bray Park with 48.8mm against an average of 127mm. But in June we were right on point with 102.8mm against the average of 105.5mm and last month we were well above average with 155.8mm against an average of 62mm. “We are in a significantly better position than we were this time last year,” Manager Water and Wastewater – Business and Assets Anthony Burnham said. “But we need to remember our traditional driest months are July to September.”
Healthy flows in the Tweed River at Bray Park Weir.
This time last year the Tweed River was flowing at 45 million litres a day at Uki and rapidly declining. This year, the flow is at 139 million litres a day and slowly declining. In the seven months to the end of July this year we have received 1407.4mm at Bray Park. Over the full 12 months last year, we received just 716.7mm, making 2019 the driest year on record. On average, the Tweed receives 1571mm of rain a year. “As water managers in the Tweed we battle against the perception that the Tweed is immune from drought and water restrictions. But that is not the case. “We have a limited supply of water and at all times ask everyone to not waste this resource. “Even though we have just had good falls of rain in July, the average Tweed resident is still using between 170 and 180 litres of water a day – 10 to 20 litres more than our daily consumption target. “We urge all residents to make it a daily habit to use water wisely,” Mr Burnham said.
Circular Cafés keep food out of landfill Tweed Shire Council is calling on any café that wants to be a force for good to sign up to Circular Cafés. Circular Cafés, a project run by North East Waste in partnership with Council, is working to divert 726 tonnes of food waste from landfill over the next 12 months. “Now that’s good marketing for your business,” Council Resource Recovery Education Officer Tarra Martel said. “Circular Cafés is here in the Tweed and will work with café operators to help them and their customers create less waste, shape stronger supply chains and build better communities.” The help will come through such things as getting a free green bin service for one year (food and organics 240-litre wheelie bin), eliminating the use of single-use plastics and information on cup-
swap programs, food donation, bioplastics and where to get the best packaging to save money. Member businesses will benefit from one-on-one support and additional promotions around having great environmental credentials. Businesses that participated in the 2019 Bintrim program can join Circular Cafés but are not eligible for the free green bin service. Circular Cafés is a NSW Environment Protection Authority Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy. To join the movement, visit www.circularcafes.com.au or contact kim@newaste.org.au for more information. Right: The Circular Cafés project aims to divert 726 tonnes of food waste from landfill per annum.

RFO2020038 Expression of Interest for Conducting Community Markets
If you are looking for a venue to host a function during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, Tweed Shire Council may have the answer with the recently upgraded auditorium at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre. Featuring state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment, modern facilities and COVID-19 safe protocols, Council would like to let the community know the facility is open for business. The auditorium has undergone a $200,000 makeover as part of the $1.2 million refurbishment of the civic centre completed in March. Council Coordinator Community Services Joanne Watters said the venue is available for hire and capable of hosting a range of different events in keeping with COVID-19 restrictions. “Normally capable of seating up to 500 people, social distancing requirements due to COVID-19 have seen the maximum number of people reduced to 91 in the main auditorium,” Ms Watters said. “Bookings have been taken for events ranging from club meetings through to dance eisteddfods. “Our booking rates make this a very cost-effective venue, especially for community groups looking for somewhere to hold a meeting. “It is one way that Council is giving back to the community and encouraging the use of such a versatile facility. “There is disabled access, plenty of parking, air conditioning and full facilities such as a cold room and kitchen for functions. “Our COVIDSafe Plan is in place and we are following strict COVID-19 protocols including hand sanitising stations and separate entrance and exit doors to provide safe pedestrian traffic flows,” she said. With upgrades being carried out at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre, the Tweed auditorium is being offered by Council as an alternative venue until the work in Murwillumbah is completed. The Tweed Heads Civic Centre also has several smaller meeting rooms available for use by the public.

A DRAMATIC attack with a samuraistyle sword took place at a Kennedy Drive home on Saturday, August 8, with one man injured in the attack. Tweed Police said a 46-year-old man was at the home with the two victims prior to the attack. “All three persons are known to each other and they had a few drinks,” police said. Police said the alleged attacker had left the premises, and shortly after, the two victims heard someone outside. “When the person of interest confronted the man outside, he produced a large samuraistyle sword with a black handle,” police said. “The person of interest struck the victim at least once in the left upper side of the right shoulder. “The victim attempted to retreat, with the person of interest chasing him around the property attempting to strike him again.” Police said a witness was able to take the sword off the man when a wrestle ensued between the person of interest and victim. Police said the man with the sword left the scene when a triple zero call to police was made. “Police observed minor cuts and abrasions to the victim’s left arm,” police said.
TWO QUEENSLAND residents from Mackay will face a string of charges at Tweed Heads Local Court after the pair of car thieves rammed a stolen ute into two police vehicles on Saturday, August 8. Tweed Police said it was about 2pm when they were notified about a stolen Holden Colorado ute travelling south on the Pacific Highway near the border. Police said they noticed the vehicle near the Kennedy Drive on-ramp at Tweed Heads and a pursuit commenced but was terminated after safety concerns However, highway patrol officers found the stolen ute in the underground car park of a unit at Thomson Street, Tweed Heads. “As a male senior constable approached (on foot), the Holden drove towards him, before hitting one of the unoccupied police vehicles,” police said. “It’s alleged the Holden reversed and rammed the second unoccupied police vehicle before driving from the scene. “Both police vehicles sustained extensive damage, however, the officers were not injured. “The Holden was later found unoccupied on Island Drive and a search of the surrounding area was conducted; however, the occupants were not located.” Police said further inquiries revealed the passenger of the Holden as an 18-year-old woman who was arrested on Florence Street at Tweed Heads, about 6.30pm. “Following further inquiries, the driver, a 20-year-old man, was arrested at a hospital at Tweed Heads just before 11pm,” police said. The Mackay man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with a range of offences. Police said they will allege in court that the Holden Colorado was stolen from a dealership in Mackay, Queensland, on Wednesday, August 5. The pair were both refused bail and were scheduled to appear at Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, August 10.

THE DRUG fantasy is believed to be among several illegal items uncovered at a Cunningham Street property at Tweed Heads on Friday, August 7. Tweed Police swooped on the property at 7am and using a search warrant uncovered separate bundles of cash totaling $550 and $2,680. “Unauthorised prescription medication and a large flask containing a liquid that police believe is a drug “fantasy” were located,” police said. But that was not all police found with numerous bicycles and parts found in the backyard of the property. “Police seized about 25 bikes that were in good condition, and expensive brands, on the basis they are suspected as being stolen property,” police said. A 42-year-old woman was charged with breaching her bail and police said an i nv e s t i g a t i o n i s underway around the legitimacy of the money and the analysis of the liquid. A 40-year-old male, who is the occupier o f t h e h o m e, i s being investigated and police said charges were “pending regarding the numerous bikes located on the Allegedly stolen bikes property”.
“The sword was seized and will undergo forensic testing.” Tweed Police are investigating the incident and would encourage anyone who witnessed or knows anything about the incident to contact Tweed Heads Police Station on (07) 5506 9499.

Border bubble sends Tweed into head spin
GOLD COAST TRAINING COLLEGE
By Jonathon Howard THE BORDER bubble fiasco is driving many Tweed Shire residents bonkers, with more questions than answers sending local politicians into a head spin. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest has slammed the Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk for “failing to understand the needs of Tweed Shire residents” in creating a postcode-based bubble system. Mr Provest has been scrambling to assist a flood of calls and emails from concerned residents living in the 2483 postcode, which includes Burringbar, Mooball and Crabbes Creek, who were included, then excluded from the border bubble. “I have to stress these are Queensland Government border orders, not NSW State Government orders,” Mr Provest said. Mr Provest is a resident of the 2483 postcode and said although he can apply for an exemption ‒ he will instead avoid any travel to Queensland. “Deliveries have also been negatively impacted including for building materials (see page 49) and other deliveries which are being postponed,” he said. “A lot of our food and materials are coming from the Port of Brisbane, and if the drivers

are outside that Ormeau area they are outside the exclusion.” Mr Provest was critical of the Queensland Premier, who he believes is creating problems for both NSW residents and Queenslanders, when the Tweed has had no recorded case of COVID-19 since April. Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin told The Weekly she has been “extremely busy” trying to assist essential workers to be included in the exemption pass under the Queensland Government border control measures. Ms Saffin said the hardest part is for people who have had their lives change overnight. “That’s been the hardest,” she said. “Whether we like it or not, Queensland have a right to make these decisions, as NSW does. “What we can try and do is to deal and rectify the anomalies.” Ms Saffin said some of the anomalies throughout her electorate include doctors, who work across the border outside the border bubble, multiple healthcare workers and tradespeople who attend TAFE. “I’ve made representation for all those I feel are essential workers,” she said. “I’m getting a good hearing from the Queensland Government and feel the process is challenging, but I’m being listened to as I put forward sensible and reasonable representation.”

MEMBER FOR Richmond Justine Elliot is calling on the NSW Premier to “act urgently and allow a southern border checkpoint in our region”. “The Queensland Premier has previously requested this and it’s time for the NSW Premier to act and put this in place,” Mrs Elliot told The Weekly. “A border checkpoint in Northern NSW would mean that our community would be much safer. “This would also mean locals could travel to Queensland for work, medical, study and family commitments.
“Whilst having the border zone residents pass available has assisted many in the region, I’m very aware there are still numerous problems for locals.” Mrs Elliot has been fielding multiple calls for assistance from stressed locals. “I’ve been assisting and advocating for all of those impacted,” she said. “All of these problems could be fixed if the NSW Premier allows the southern border checkpoint.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe a southern border checkpoint is needed?

chance to wash her hair so she can feel a bit normal for a little while.” Volunteers need to attend initial training, ongoing supervision and must have, or be willing to get, a Working With Children Check, which is free for volunteers. As part of the training, volunteers are taught how to offer non-judgemental and confidential support and are carefully matched according to each mother’s needs and circumstances. While COVID-19 has increased the demand from mums for support, Ms Hunt said that in some cases, how that support is delivered has had to change. “For face-to-face visits we have of course had to put social distancing and NSW Health advice measures in place, but we’ve also had quite a few mums who have been extra cautious because of COVID,” Ms Hunt said. “So in those cases, the volunteers have kept up the communication via phone calls or texts. “I have one beautiful volunteer who even has taped herself singing songs so that the mum she volunteers for could play songs to the baby.” For more information or to register your interest in the training program email Deb Hunt: newmums8@gmail.com or call 0490 409 039.

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.

By Megan Albany THANKS TO a grant from the inGrained Foundation, a Tweed Shire-based community program can continue its support for mums with new babies who are feeling isolated, overwhelmed or unsupported. Coordinator of Support for New Mums, Deb Hunt, said the service which started two years ago, had become particularly sought after during COVID-19 restrictions by new mums who had been further isolated due to either their family being interstate or their partners being unable to return home. Ms Hunt said the home based, free of charge service was initially developed in response to the growing awareness that many women with new babies feel particularly alone at a time when they most need to feel supported by others. Despite this loneliness, Ms Hunt said many mothers can feel ashamed to reach out for assistance because they falsely believe they are the only ones finding life as a mum difficult. “I think a lot of people, when they look on Facebook or even in their local cafe, see all these mums that look like they have it all together and so they think ‘she looks okay’ or ‘she’s out of her pyjamas’ so they assume they must be okay, but that isn’t always the case,” Ms Hunt said. “Everyone has their day where they can’t cope, but as mums we tend to think, ‘I should be able to do this’. “I think that’s why it can be hard for some women to put their hand up for help.” In order to provide mums with new babies the support they need, Ms Hunt said the program is currently looking to recruit additional volunteers. Volunteers do not have to be trained in childcare or social work, but they do need to be mums themselves. “Sometimes volunteers might just go and sit and have a cup of tea, or mind the baby while the mother goes for a doctor’s appointment about her own health, or help with food preparation, or even just give the mum a

M|Arts exhibition makes the ordinary extraordinary Yersiniosis warning in cattle
Trish Tait’s artwork ‘The Off Season’ (oil on board)
“Tamsin Ainslie is quite a well-known local painter and she had an exhibition last year at the Tweed Regional Gallery, it was called These Little Things: Drawing my every day,” Ms Oakenfull said. “She did a lot of paintings based on little sweets and cakes, but also on glasses and cups and pencils,” she said. “Another artist who was recently at the Regional Gallery, is Phil Barron, and I chose him for this exhibition as he has always painted a lot of still life and interiors. “Sharon Mc Illwain will be including works she painted during the lockdown period which were inspired by her walks at the end of her street and then Trish Tait has a fabulous painting of an inflatable pool toy that looks lonely and abandoned, which really fits the theme. “As for me, I usually paint native botanical work like banksias, but for this exhibition I am including paintings of some gumnuts that I found on the footpath outside my house. “Gumnuts are everywhere so we usually ignore them but if you look at them closely, they have all these amazing textures and colours.” While Ms Oakenfull said the Ordinary Love exhibition is a great opportunity to see how some of the region’s best painters spent their recent time at home, she admits that COVID-19 hasn’t been easy for many artists. “I think a lot of painters joke that nothing’s changed but it has, and I think a lot of artists are quite sensitive, so we get very affected by what’s happening in the world,” she said. “While we are used to being at home alone in the studio, I do know a lot of people who struggled to do any art when COVID first hit. “Many artists have also been affected, as with so many galleries closing, it is

TWEED SHIRE cattle farmers are being urged by North Coast Local Land Services Veterinarians to be on the lookout for the disease Yersiniosis. Cases of the fatal bacterial disease, also known as mud scours, have recently been seen in the Lismore area in recent weeks and they are hoping to stop any further spread. North Coast Local Land Services District Veterinarian Dr Phil Kemsley said the bacteria Yersinia multiplies in decaying plant material in cool, wet soil. “This can occur in swampy area, dam edges and in depressions in pasture; often known as melon holes,” he said. “It can occur when hay is fed out and becomes contaminated by mud. “Outbreaks can also happen after floods in winter when flood mud sticks to pasture.” To help prevent further Yersiniosis cases, cattle should be moved to another paddock, preferably one with better drainage. Yersiniosis usually stops once spring and warmer conditions arrive.
becoming harder and harder to find places to exhibit. “That’s why we are holding this exhibition as it’s very much in line with what Field ARI is really trying to do; to promote local artists as well as to build community.” Ms Oakenfull said she is hoping the exhibition of small to medium works of household items, interior scenes, views from the backyard, items from around the home and ordinary scenes will attract buyers to the gallery. “Even though the economy might not be so great, I think a lot of people are still interested in buying paintings because we are all spending more time at home and we are wanting to make our homes more beautiful,” she said. “I have heard that sales of art in some places are still fairly strong and with all the uncertainty at the moment I personally think that art’s a great place for investors to put their money.” For more information visit www. judyoakenfull.com
OZFISH UNLIMITED and Tweed Shire Council have teamed up to improved native fish habitat by completing erosion stabilisation work on farmland near where Dunbible Creek joins the Tweed River. The Tweed Shire Council project, just two kilometres upstream from Murwillumbah, was partially funded by the NSW Environmental Trust and initiated in partnership with OzFish Unlimited, Australia’s only fishing conservation charity, with support from their major partner BCF – Boating, Camping Fishing. A series of rock and log structures have been installed to replicate naturally occurring snags, and five ‘fish hotel’ units are being placed into a small embayment within the site. Work has been undertaken over a bank length of about 600 metres, some of which was severely eroded during the flooding after Cyclone Debbie. The project will stabilise erosion and replace native riparian vegetation with a strong emphasis on enhancing fish habitat. OzFish Tweed River Chapter President Simon Fitzpatrick said the work will benefit the picturesque estuary. “This is the first of three projects that we are collaborating with Council on, it’s a great example of what can be achieved through the partnership,” said Mr Fitzpatrick.

By Megan Albany WHILE THE coronavirus pandemic has left many of us contemplating the simple things in life, for the artists among us, that introspection has led to an exhibition of paintings celebrating the everyday. Ordinary Love, a group exhibition at The Field ARI (Artist Run Initiative) at the M|Arts Precinct in Murwillumbah, features some of the region’s leading artists including Tamsin Ainslie, Phil Barron, Narelle Bretherton, Andrew Hmelnitsky, Sharon McIllwain, Judy Oakenfull, Jenny Sayer, and Trish Tait. Curated by Judy Oakenfull, the painters in the exhibition, which runs from Wednesday, August 12 to Wednesday, August 26, use their observational and expressive painting skills to observe and pay homage to everyday things around the house and yard. “It’s an idea I’ve always been interested in because I’ve always liked the still life genre and that’s often about making everyday items like plates and cups and fruit look amazing with paint, but it also just seemed quite relevant to have an exhibition on that theme at the moment,” Ms Oakenfull said. For many of the artists, painting about the ordinary has been a lifelong passion.

Tweed River dredging commences
By Jo Kennett DREDGING OF the Tweed River mouth (pictured below) has commenced to keep the bar safe for boats, with dredged matter being deposited on both sides of the river mouth. The dredge vessel the Albatros was back in action last week and according to the Tweed Sand Bypass media team, the dredged matter will be deposited at “inshore placement locations at Fingal, Duranbah, Snapper Rocks and Bilinga” which were chosen “due to available capacity and so that sand will quickly rejoin the natural sediment pathways”. The project team said an environmental management plan has been prepared and would be implemented during dredging and that “all approvals and relevant conditions of approval are in place and will be adhered to for removing and placing sand”. Some Fingal residents have been calling for changes to the Tweed Sand Bypass project after serious erosion reduced the frontal dunes in the centre of Letitia Spit. Representatives from the Fingal community met with Tweed Sand Bypass Project representatives last year to discuss their concerns that the sand pumping jetty was pumping too much sand north of the river to Gold Coast beaches adding to erosion problems on the south side. Dredging of the river was last completed in August 2019 and for the first time, dredged material was deposited offshore from Fingal to see where it ended up.

At a meeting with concerned community members and stakeholders, a representative from Tweed commercial fishermen said the dredging worked and “the bar is the best it has been in 30 years”, bolstering the argument of some locals that dredging is the best way to keep the river open and replenish local beaches. At the same meeting, one Rainbow Bay resident said since sand pumping had begun, Rainbow Bay had changed from “a safe idyllic bay” but “now you cannot swim, the beach is one mile wide”. There has also been a huge buildup of sand inside Rainbow Bay from sand moving north which has seen the rocky outcrop known as Little Marley become landlocked. It is unknown how the deposit of dredged material which the Tweed Bypass Project has slated for Snapper Rocks will affect the area and how much is to be deposited offshore at Fingal. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said a total of 151,360 cubic metres of sand was extracted from the Tweed River entrance where it impeded boating access. “This dredged sand has been relocated offshore from Fingal Beach and Duranbah Beach and also off Snapper Rocks and Tugun/ Bilinga on the southern Gold Coast,” Mr Provest said. “The relocation of sand at Fingal and Tugun/Bilinga will help address community concerns about the more even distribution of sand.”

By Megan Albany IT IS NOW almost a year since our volunteer firefighters first went to work during what would become our blackest summer in Australia’s history. On August 22, 2019, the Terragon fire between Kunghur and Uki took hold and residents at risk were told to enact their bushfire survival plans. That was the beginning of an exhausting fire season for our fire crews, many of whom battled blazes both locally and in other parts of the state, until January this year. Now, almost a year since the fires first started, the heroes of our Rural Fire Service are asking residents to “please, do not be complacent”. Despite long-range forecasters at the Bureau of Meteorology predicting a 50 per cent chance of La Niña, bringing increased rainfall, our firies are urging locals not to rely on the promise of rain to save them this fire season. Instead, RFS chiefs are once again calling for all locals to ensure their properties are prepped and ready to make fighting fires easier for our tireless crews. Kunghur Rural Fire Service Captain Ron Duckworth said now is the time for people to prepare their properties. “There’s always going to be a big risk in this part of the state with our climate, it was 26 degrees the other day,” he said. “Last year we had houses we were trying to defend with firewood stacked underneath them and vegetation all around the house which makes it very, very difficult. “We want to encourage people to have their fire plans in place and to not only clear around their property, but to also clear access roads so trucks can get up there. “Low vegetation on driveways can restrict us from getting in there and having to stop to cut trees takes us time and that delay can mean that dwellings are gone.
“Preparations should really be done in the winter time and for us as firefighters it makes a really big difference when you can see the people have prepared their property, as then we are just there to monitor and fight the fire as it approaches instead of trying to clear around the dwelling.” While a number people have heeded the warning from last year’s unprecedented fires, Captain Duckworth said many people have still not prepared their properties. “I still see a lot of houses out there that don’t look like they’re ready,” Captain Duckworth said. Superintendent and Manager of the Far North Coast Team for the NSW Rural Fire Service, David Cook, said anyone preparing their property and wanting to burn cleared vegetation should be aware that they will require a fire permit from September 1. “Up until the 1st of September you don’t require a fire permit, however you are required to notify your immediate neighbours and also the RFS on the burn notification line: 1300 632 174,” Superintendent Cook said. “It’s important you call the notification line 24 hours in advance, so we get the details of where the burns are happening, so we know where they are and also so we can monitor the fires on the database. “People should have already started preparing and clearing their properties and cleaning gutters of debris, leaves and twigs and of course they should make sure they have a bushfire survival plan. “People should not think that just because we have had some rain and we are wet at the moment, that they don’t have to worry. “They shouldn’t get complacent as it only takes a couple of days of westerly winds for things to dry out, so complacency is definitely not the place we should be in. “Our main danger last year was the extreme dryness and the wind and it was only our preparedness that actually saved us.”

ready for the bushfire season so if a fire does come, then there should be a reduced fire load which should reduce the intensity of the zone. “Most of these areas are up against asset protection zones, such as the area we burnt last week which was part of the Cudgen (Nature) Reserve. “National Parks and Wildlife also did another burn recently out at Mooball and we are always on hand to assist when we are called upon to do so.” Captain Middlebrook said despite last year’s intense fire season, his crew were ready to go back to work, albeit for free, once again. “We started in August and pretty well finished in January so it was quite a financial stress for our members but they kept putting up their hands,” he said.

While last fire season was very difficult for RFS crews, Superintendent Cook said the community response had been incredible and there has been an influx of volunteers to the service. “We’ve had well over a hundred new volunteers in the Tweed to put through training,” he said. “COVID did affect the training, but with extra effort we have been able to train in small groups and utilise online as well as practical training, it was a big effort to get such a large number of people trained.” Superintendent Cook said, apart from volunteers, that he was happy to announce that the region had now become eligible for paid mitigation crews. “We’re putting on extra mitigation crews who are paid workers,” he said. “There will be a new crew based in Murwillumbah who will be working with Tweed, Byron and Ballina crews so that’s really positive. “They will be looking at hazard reduction and they are also available for fire fighting and logistical issues such as setting up base camps for crews.” Apart from urging property owners to get ready and prepare their fire plans, local RFS crews, in association with National Parks and Wildlife, have also started their hazard reduction program for the fire season ahead. Cudgen Rural Fire Brigade Captain Troy Middlebrook said the RFS had already started work to ensure asset protection zones were prepared. “There are a lot of areas in the Tweed that require hazard reduction burns and these are being managed by National Parks,” Captain Middlebrook said. “National Parks are responsible for assessing these so we work quite closely with them to assist. “They have pockets of concern and they have a plan to regularly burn these pockets over a five year cycle to reduce the fuel load

Mystery of the missing National Service Medal solved
By Jonathon Howard THE MYSTERY of the unknown National Service Medal being handed into the Tweed Palliative Care Secondhand Store, has been solved this week, after a community effort to track down the family of the late Wylie Croker. Mr Croker’s National Service Medal was found by Tweed Palliative Care Secondhand Store manager Edna Gorton OAM, in July this year. Mrs Gorton approached the local RSL Sub-branch and The Weekly to help track down the family and have the medal returned. “I couldn’t sell that, it’s not right,” she told The Weekly. Longtime Weekly reader and Murwillumbah local Māris Bruzgulis widened the search and sent an email to Lost Medals Australia Lieutenant Colonel Glyn Llanwarne OAM. Lt Col Llanwarne was quick to track the family down from a notice printed in the Manning River Times which revealed a Mr Croker, from Forster-Tuncurry, had passed away on June 13 this year. The Weekly contacted Mr Croker’s daughter Margot Croker, who lives in Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast, who responded with jubilation at the news her father’s National Service Medal had surfaced. Ms Croker said she wanted to extend a big “thank you” to Edna Gorton, Māris Bruzgulis, Lt Col Llanwarne and The Weekly for their efforts in having the medal returned.
“I had no idea how the medal ended up in Murwillumbah,” she said. “I think, as a family, we support Wedgetail the hospice, so we tend to donate a lot of clothes to the store to assist. “So, apparently when my mum and brother were going through everything, they’ve accidentally included this in the clothing, or it was in the clothing. “I don’t think they saw it, they would never give something like that away. “We always do what we can to support the hospice but never intended to give the medal away.” Ms Croker said her father did not serve in any wars, but instead undertook compulsory military training during the late 1950s. Wylie Croker died at the age of 84 on June 13, 2020. “Dad was a very funny guy, loved a good laugh and a big joker,” she said. “He was still up and walking unaided to the end, right up to when we lost him due to cancer. “He loved to go to the club for a “flutter” as he called it. “We spent our childhood holidays going fishing and skiing at Myall Lakes. “I’m proud of my dad and although it was compulsory, there’s a sense of pride if your dad has done something for the country.” Ms Croker said she was “very grateful” to have the medal returned and will “wear them with pride for dad on Anzac Day”. Mr Croker’s lifelong friend Frank Elliott, who still lives in Forster, said the pair grew up together.
The late Wylie Croker was the recipient of the National Service Medal that surfaced at the Tweed Palliative Care Second Hand Store in July
“He was about 12 months younger, we were long-time cobbers,” he said. “Wylie and I did our national service at roughly the same time. “We did our last Citizen Military Forces (CMF) training at Singleton in 1957, apart from that, he worked in Sydney and came back in later years when he was retired. “Actually, I married his sister making him my brother-in-law, so there you go.” Mr Elliott recalled some fond memories with his good mate, including watching the coastal towns change. “We saw Forster grow from a little place to what it is today,” he said. “He left for some time in Sydney where he had various jobs around carpentry.
“He eventually settled back in Forster, which was his hometown, where he knew a lot of local people. “We had a friendship spanning almost 80 years having grown up together.” Mr Croker had two children, Margot and Matthew. “As far as I know, he never marched on Anzac Day, but he would go every year and watch the march,” Mr Elliott said. “You can’t forget those times when you’re young, they were great times. “Growing up in this town from a fishing village to what it is now, we saw the best of it, there was less restrictions in those days and we made our fun and it was free and easy. “It was great times looking back, although we didn’t think it was so
great then, we still pinched fruit and robbed bird’s nests for eggs.” Compulsory military training for young Australians was reintroduced in 1951 by the Liberal and Country Party government. It was the third such scheme to have existed in Australia since Federation. Eighteen-year-old men were required to undertake 176 days of military training as part of the National Service scheme. Those who elected to undertake their training in the army could break up their training requirements into two periods, 98 days in the Australian Regular Army and 78 days in the CMF. In 1959 the scheme was abolished.
Brothers fundraise for guitar to be donated to Momentum Collective By Megan Albany MOMENTUM COLLECTIVE in Tweed Heads is a community organisation which has a vision of creating real social change and inclusive opportunities. Now people accessing their mental health support services will also have access to a new electric guitar thanks to a donation by brothers Sid and Zain Constantine. Visitors to the Momentum Connections centre, Garry and Danny, said they were excited to have a new guitar in the music room at Connections. “It’s a great guitar and will definitely be part of our weekly jam sessions here at Connections,” Danny said. The brothers donated the guitar after raising funds on the music platform Bandcamp.
“My brother Zain worked for Momentum Collective in the Connections Centre team,” Sid said. “We wanted to make the donation to a mental health service in the area and Zain suggested Connections because he knew they ran a music program.” The donation was made in memory of their friend and fellow surfer Ky Farrell who experienced mental health issues and passed away in 2019. The Constantine brothers were both founding members of Aeolian, a hard core punk band that formed in Banora Point in 1995 and performed locally until around 2004. “Ky was my best mate and a big supporter of Aeolian,” Sid said.
“We played consistently until 2004 around Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast and Brisbane. “We had a lot of songs that we hadn’t recorded when the band broke up and they have been sitting on a computer for 15 years. “So when it was coming up to the first anniversary of Ky’s passing I decided to put vocals to some tracks and released a song called The Valkyrie. “Ky died two days after his birthday so we released the track on that day and rather than keeping the money from the sales, we decided to buy a guitar with the proceeds and donate it to Momentum’s mental health programs.” The band created a film clip at Fingal Head, one of Ky’s favourite surfing spots. In the video Ky’s nephew paddles out to catch some waves on a custom-made surfboard his
uncle had made just prior to his passing. The surfboard was called Valkyrie. Link to the film clip on band camp: https:// aeolian2486.bandcamp.com/

WELCOME TO It Takes a Town’s (ITAT) new monthly column. We’re looking forward to connecting directly with many of our 2484 readers in print and covering the community support we facilitate in these uncertain times. Various members of ITAT will contribute as it is after all a local movement – a movement of residents, groups, businesses, clubs, churches, and services, collaborating to create shared benefits for us all. I have often been the voice of ITAT, but I am certainly not the only person shaping this initiative that arose from the community in response to its own needs and aspirations. Some locals think that ITAT emerged as a response to the 2017 floods. However, it was designed with a different need in mind, that one in five local children are growing up in poverty. It was also designed to grow the conditions of trust, generosity and responsiveness required to face the challenges of climate adaptation. So, essentially, ITAT is a community initiative with clear, yet multiple goals. In our first three years, hundreds of residents, groups, churches and businesses

Set No Limits Celebrating Seniors
Let's hear it for our hard working aged care workers
By Jonathon Howard AS CASES of COVID-19 continue to rise in aged care facilities, aged care employees are putting their own lives at risk to be on the frontline, operating tirelessly to keep themselves and their seniors safe. Aged Care Employee Day was celebrated on Friday, August 7, and it aimed to encourage Australians to recognise the aged care workers who have provided consistent and quality care to our seniors, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme this year is #ThanksforCaring, as for many, the pandemic has presented many losses and trying times. Research has found that eight in ten Australian seniors would prefer to “age in place” and stay at their current home, rather than move to an aged care facility. For many seniors, their attachment to home and community grows stronger over time, providing a sense of familiarity, comfort, safety and independence. Due to the risk of spreading COVID-19 across many aged care facilities, this option has become particularly favourable, with many seniors and their families preferring to safely isolate in their own homes. During this global pandemic, Home Instead Senior Care has been supporting the senior community by offering quality care while keeping seniors safe in the comfort of their own home Home Instead Senior Care Gold Coast franchise owners Chris Davey and Steve Patterson have awarded caregiver Julie Lea the title of caregiver of the quarter for the Gold Coast region.

Ms Lea has been recognised for her consistent outstanding efforts caring for seniors during the pandemic. “Julie currently lives in Burleigh Heads and is a highly valued member of the team,” Mr Davey said. “She has worked as a caregiver for more than 20 years, completing many hours of service and making an incredible impact on the lives of her clients.” Ms Lea said she was “absolutely honoured to receive this award”. “I have been working in the aged care industry my whole life, my heart has been touched by so many incredible people in this industry, and I am the one who is truly lucky,” she said. “Caregiving has definitely changed since the start of the pandemic. “If I had a relative in an aged care facility, I certainly would have brought them home. It breaks my heart to see what is happening in Victoria. “Luckily in our industry, we are already very aware of infection and cross contamination, so it has been a matter of implementing stricter hygiene measures with our seniors than we already had.” Ms Lea said this means regularly practising and encouraging good hygiene, assessing the senior’s risk of
COVID-19 before face-to-face contact, using personal protective equipment for both parties and maintaining a distance of 1.5 metres from our seniors where possible. “For example, I would not take any groceries into my client Henry’s home, I always wipe down everything first and soak his vegetables in the sink,” she said. “Henry always laughs saying he has never washed and sanitised his hands so much in his life! My ultimate goal is to keep him safe. “Henry was malnourished, sad and had lost a lot of weight before he was in my care. Now, he is happy, healthy and loves the food we cook together.” Mr Davey said he “truly loves what I do”. “I’m a really good listener and I especially love the stories Henry and my other clients share with me,” Mr Davey said. “We are thrilled to have Julie as a caregiver in our team. She is kind, compassionate and goes above and beyond for her clients and their families. “We appreciate the high level of care she has given to her clients, particularly during the pandemic.” For more information, visit: www. homeinstead.com.au
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE USE increases older people’s risk of developing skin cancer, a study by UNSW Sydney scientists has shown, but the researchers warn against suddenly stopping the medicine. Hydrochlorothiazide is one of the most prescribed high blood pressure drugs in Australia, but has shown links to increased risks of developing skin cancer among older Australians. The drug contains photosynthesising properties, which can make skin more sensitive to the sun. The findings are based on a big data analysis of skin cancer rates in a case-control study among older Australians. The results, published in Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, support similar findings from previous international studies. “We found increased risk for developing malignant melanoma and squamous cell cancer of the lip (lip cancer) with hydrochlorothiazide use,” says Dr Benjamin Daniels, lead author of the study and research fellow at UNSW Medicine’s Centre for Big Data Research in Health (CBDRH). As a pharmacoepidemiologist, Dr Daniels studies the use and effects of drugs in specific population groups. “For lip cancer, the risk also appears to be cumulative – that is, the longer that hydrochlorothiazide is used, the higher the risk of developing lip cancer.” High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a chronic illness affecting more than a third of Australians over the age of 18. It’s usually defined as blood pressure levels above 140/90. If left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious health conditions such as stroke and heart disease. Management of the illness generally requires prescribed medicine, like hydrochlorothiazide, alongside lifestyle changes, including eating a healthier diet and getting regular exercise. “Hypertension is a condition that needs to be carefully managed,” Dr Daniels said. “We don’t want anyone to suddenly stop taking hydrochlorothiazide out of fear of developing skin cancer. “The skin cancer risk is something for prescribers to be aware of. Doctors may want to consider conducting more skin checks for their patients or reinforcing advice around sun-smart behaviours that everyone should be aware of, like adequate protection when UV is higher than three and avoiding sun exposure during peak UV times.”

Let’s support local You would have heard the ‘support local’ message quite a bit by now. It’s a well-timed encouragement for us all to buy from Australianowned companies. Small businesses in particular have taken a big hit as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and really need our support. Many of us have jumped on board with the support local idea and are going out of our way to spend our money with locally owned and operated companies. We’re all in this together and the more we do to support each other, the quicker we’ll all come out of it at the other end– and in better shape. Gourmet Meals is a family business located in Brisbane. We’ve been around for a long time – 27 years, to be exact – and we love supporting our local community. We are proud that our company provides healthy, nutritious and well-balanced meals to those who have been especially vulnerable during the pandemic. We did this before Covid-19 and we will continue to do so, long after these trying times have passed. That’s our promise to you and, to those who are special to you.
We were fortunate enough to have been able to provide work for a number of locals who had lost their jobs during lockdown. So, we want to say thank you to all of you who supported us then and continue to now. Here at Gourmet Meals, we believe that supporting local is essential. We assist many local charities and events on the Gold Coast and in the surrounding area. We also try to source as many of our ingredients from Australian companies, including our poultry, beef, pork, fruit and veggies. All of our dairy products and eggs all come from local companies too and we intend to keep it that way.
HEALTHY EATING MADE EASY
Our head office, production kitchen and warehouse distribution centre are all situated locally too. Gold Coast locals can buy our nutritious and tasty meals directly from our warehouse at 46/215 Brisbane Road, Biggera Waters. We’re open from 9 am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Lindy is focussed on individualised care and likes to get to know all her residents and staff well. She knows every resident’s name, their likes, dislikes and personal preferences.
“No two people are the same,” she said. “I would like to think any of the residents or their families can feel comfortable enough to talk to me at any time, about anything. Residents and their families, especially, need security and comfort in the care we provide. Lindy is a familiar face in the local community, she grew up in Round Mountain and has lived all her life in the area with her family.

your new home, your old routine When you can no longer live comfortably in your own home, you’re most welcome at ours. You’re used to the rhythms of your own life and moving home shouldn’t change that. In our homes you decide when to get up, go out, eat, relax and so on. You also choose when you want to be part of things and when you want to do your own thing. Your decision to move to residential care is likely driven by the need for increasing levels of care, so we ensure those needs are met, around the clock, by our team of registered nurses, carers and any specialists needed. We work closely with you and your family to understand not just your individual care needs and wishes, but also what makes a home a home for you. For many people these are often quite simple things, built naturally around inclusion, doing and belonging.

ROMANTIC ROAD
If you, like me, have ever wanted to become a grey nomad what better way than doing it in an old Rolls-Royce? Such a glamorous way of travelling is beyond most of us, but not all, according to the adventure documentary Romantic Road. At its center is an upper-class English couple, Rupert Grey and his wife Jan. Rupert and Jan have always had a knack for adventure – in 1981 they travelled through the Himalayas publishing their articles and photographs in international magazines. Now in their late 60s they live in a comfortable old world cottage in Sussex, but after 35 years of marriage have not lost the appetite for adventure - and by the way they still have the 1936 Rolls Royce that Rupert’s father left to him. Planning to attend the Chobi Meta Photography Festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh, they decide to get there in their Rolls-Royce, by shipping the car to Mumbai and from there taking the 8000km road trip, which will take six months and will take them through the heart of India. Somehow their plan attracts the attention of actress Sharon Stone who decides to produce the documentary and so here we are, following the wealthy couple in their ultimate adventure trip. They are concerned about potential hostility to their car, a symbol of colonial wealth and elitism, but the overwhelming reaction they encounter on the road is instead curiosity and joy – and they end up viral on India’s social media as people take photos of them everywhere. Despite having done a lot of preparation before starting the trip, they do encounter problems – having to dodge tribal conflicts, negotiate with border officials and constantly make mechanical repairs to the car – but they also end up in the company of maharajahs, tea wallahs and other colorful characters. The film – elegantly shot in 35 mm - is not only about the couple’s adventure but also about the relationship between Rupert and Jan, who are still very much in love. It looks a bit like the documentary equivalent of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but personally in this case I could not really relate to the characters. The documentary looked to me a little ostentatious - and untimely, now that travelling is out of the question thanks to Covid 19..!
Murwillumbah poets chance to enter Australian Poetry Slam By Megan Albany NEW AND experienced poets are being invited to register for one of only twenty places available for aspiring poets wanting to compete in the Australian Poetry Slam (APS) Murwillumbah Heat. The heat, on Thursday, August 20, from 7pm to 9pm, is presented by Poets Out Loud and is open to anyone residing in the Northern Rivers region, regardless of whether they are a firsttime performer or a spoken word aficionado. Winners from the heat will represent Murwillumbah at the state finals. “This is the first time there’s been a Murwillumbah heat of this national competition,” said Poets Out Loud founder, Sarah Temporal. “Last year, three poets from Poets Out Loud won the heat in Byron and went on to the NSW state championships and one of those poets, Damien Becker, won and is now the reigning state champion. “Since we have such a strong community here, I thought we should host our own heat to give more poets a chance to compete at the state finals.” For those used to traditional poetry readings, Ms Temporal said watching slam poetry would not be a totally unfamiliar experience, although the competition element could be. “Slam poetry is different to other poetry readings in that it is a competition and there are usually judges chosen from the audience who score the poems and help choose the winner,” Ms Temporal said. “You can do any style of poem in a poetry slam whether that’s bush ballads, raps, rants or love poems, absolutely anything is welcome. “The main thing you are trying to do in slam poetry is to connect with the
Audience enjoying slam poetry in Murwillumbah with (inset) former Australian Poetry Slam Competition Winner Arielle Cottingham who will perform at the upcoming Murwillumbah heat
audience, so telling your own story in your own words usually works well at a slam.” While Slam Poetry usually involves live performances, due to COVID, Ms Temporal said the APS Murwillumbah Heat will be held online. “We’ve already been running online open mic events since the lockdown started in March and I have been really pleased that it doesn’t seem to have affected the poetry night,” she said. “It’s still really warm and welcoming and you can still see people in the audience cheering you on. Performing on Zoom can actually even be a little easier for some people, as instead of standing on stage, they are in their lounge room with a laptop or computer and that can give it a very intimate feeling.” The APS Murwillumbah Heat will also feature a fifteen-minute performance from a former winner of the Australian Poetry Slam, Arielle Cottingham. “This competition was pretty well the start of her international career, because if you win the Australian Poetry Slam, you win a world tour of writing festivals,” Ms Temporal said. “Arielle is an incredible artist, she’s an internationally known spoken word artist and she’s now living in Berlin, so
she’ll be Zooming in from Germany, we’re incredibly lucky to have her. “She’s a very influential voice in spoken word and she’ll be performing around fifteen minutes of poetry to inspire all of us.” For first time poets wanting to try their hand at the heats, Ms Temporal will be running an introductory workshop on slam poetry on Sunday, August 16, from 3pm to 5pm. “My slam poetry workshop is designed to help a complete beginner write their first slam poem from start to finish and to help them build the confidence they need to perform it in front of an audience,” she said. “In past workshops, I have had a lot of people who thought they weren’t poets who, by the end of it, were sharing their poem with an audience.” For tickets to be part of the audience or to enter the APA Murwillumbah Heat visit: www.eventbrite.com. au/e/australian-poetry-slammurwillumbah-heat-by-poets-out-loudtickets-112411997310 For more information on the workshop or the Murwillumbah heat email poet@sarahtemporal.com.

Bush poet challenges status quo By Jonathon Howard WELL-KNOWN BUSH poet Paddy O’Brien (pictured below) continues to wow judges with his imaginative poems that both capture Australian life and at times question the status quo. Paddy was awarded the Traditional Poetry Award at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January this year, as well as taking out the Yarn Spinning Award at the Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festival at Orange in March this year.
The poem that resonated with judges was titled ‘A True Story’, which is printed in full for The Weekly readers below. Paddy’s poem follows a range of “bush critters” enduring the devastating bushfires that swept across Australia’s east coast in 2019/20. YOUR THOUGHTS: If you have a poem or piece of literature you would like to see in print, The Weekly would love to hear from you. Please email editor@theweekly.net.au for more information.

By Paddy O’Brien Word had got around from gullies to the ridges. From the top of Nightcap Range across to Uki bridges. “We’re meeting on O’Brien’s Road!” Bush critters shout. “Dead matter on the forest floor, how do we sort this out!” A wise old owl then looking down from his perch on high “Come over here all you critters and I will tell you why, I remember one big fire,” said owl on worn old knees, “The heat and flames were so intense, snapped limbs off big gum trees. Yes, big gum trees bent right over with critters screaming loud, From Lemon Tree Road to Uki the farms a fire cloud. Archie Bettridge and Bill Sullivan then rode their horses fast, Fences cut to save the cattle, not all of them did last. With fires raging savagely, jumping gullies and creeks, Stealing our food and families across the flats and peaks. It’s said in nineteen thirty-eight and nineteen-thirty-nine, Rutherglen Research Station records the hottest summertime. We’ve got to get together now, and sort this problem out, The National Parks are not hearing, so we will have to shout. Farmers learned to protect their land and now there is restrain, They know us critters need their help when fires come again. Fires hotter than the sun where farms were densely grassed, They had to move their cattle off, milking time came and passed.
There’s charcoal still on dead old trees, up trunks one hundred feet. That fire back in thirty-eight, they knew they could not beat. As well in nineteen sixty-eight, when men were cutting cane Fire raged the Tweed once more down passed Bilambil Lane, There’s lightning strikes as you all know and other things no doubt, What if some human drops a match, they’ll burn us critters out. Wake up Blinky Bill from your sleep, it’s said that you’re quite shy.” “Of course I blinks, koalas do when lookin’ at the sky.” “Wallaby and pademelon, now listen all of you, Beat a track through the undergrowth, others will follow you. For all you birds that surely fly, your babes you hold so dear, Teach them to flutter in their nest, that day is coming near. Slithery snakes and goannas, I know you’re never scared, Find a hole in the softest ground so then you’ll be prepared.” Bush turkeys scratched a note on leaves, black cockatoos did shout, Echidnas sharpened their prickles, flock pigeons read it out. So off they went to Canberra, petition in their claw, Handed to some bug-eyed pollie, who just began to snore. “Since loggers have left the forest, no more the fire trails. National Parks refuse to listen, blocked off by huge iron rails.” So if you want to save us critters, just open up your eyes, Two thousand and nineteen fires took hundreds of our lives!” The moral of this story is, and listen carefully, Untie the hands of farmers, we’ll all live happily.

WELL THE club I love and have supported for 30 years are quite simply in disarray. The once powerhouse of the competition and flagship club of Queensland are an absolute trainwreck. Not only can they not win a game, the off field situation is becoming a soap opera - you couldn’t make this stuff up. Now I agree Tevita Pangai Jr required a stiff punishment, but I think sacking him is a big call, especially given it rules him out of a club for the remainder of the season but also prevents a massive payout of around $650,000. Also Wayne Bennett, a pillar of the game and who helped devise the rules, copped $20,000. Ben Ikin has put in for CEO and they should give him the job tomorrow. He would be a perfect fit for the club to try and turn things around considering they are at complete rock bottom. Excluding Haas who has been great all year, Dearden who should have been there the whole time, Staggs who is a superstar and Carrigan who is tireless, the rest are simply treading water and probably can’t wait for the next seven weeks to finish. I’m pretty sure Darius sure can’t. On a positive note, the Titans are flying the flag for Maroons. Full credit to Justin Holbrook and the staff
who have taken a mediocre roster and are recording some victories and performances that are full of merit. They are putting some pride back into the jumper. The players looked to be really digging in for each other last week and they played some great footy. AJ Brimson makes a huge difference at the back and is someone they can build a squad around going forward. Congrats also has to go to the Warriors for their fighting spirit and continuing to hang in under difficult circumstances. I think settling on Brown as coach will be

issues and prevented a few games from happening on the weekend which was disappointing. The NRRRL board need to be commended however on reaching an alternative arrangement to ensure the competition can continue and the comp will be broken into a North and South conference to prevent any COVID issues and allow some games to get underway. Consequently Bilambil, Cudgen, Cabarita and Murwillumbah will see a fair bit of each other with Byron Bay thrown in also. Hopefully in a few weeks normality will be restored and a finals series can be played under the normal format. See you at the footy. Quinny

good and hopefully he can get them firing. The Panthers are absolutely a i r b o r n e a n d I c a n’t comprehend Ivan Cleary’s comments after a flawless 40 minutes and actually winning the game - a tough way to do $20,000 that’s for sure. Some quality games ahead this weekend especially the Roosters vs Storm clash. Unfortunately some stars are out, but I’m sure it will be a ripping contest like always. I loved watching Ballina junior Mitchell Aubusson score in his 300th game on the weekend. The game needs more players like the underrated utility, super bloke and player.

FEATURED BUSINESS INBOX Managing Property Pty Ltd is a residential property management only company concentrating on rental properties only and not side tracked by sales. Owned and managed by Brett he comes from CH-CH NZ, he moved to Australia in 1987 and has been here ever since and has lived on 5 acres in Upper Duroby for the past 10 years with his wife Sandra. Brett is a fitter and turner by trade and spent time in 2011 working as a maintenance fitter at the Condong Sugar Mill, he also spent 20 years Underground mining in W.A and FNQ. Having being a property investor for 23 years and owned multiple rental properties, he started managing his own properties on a private level but decided to take it on professionally a couple of years back, starting his own company Inbox Managing Property Pty Ltd. Fully licenced in both NSW and QLD his
business covers an area from Palm Beach to Pottsville into Murwillumbah and up to Springbrook. Brett’s point of difference over the large agencies is because of his maintenance background and having taken care of his own properties where possible he is more than happy to do the small maintenance jobs on your rental property (which seem to pop up often) saving the landlord a considerable amount of money over the year when he is managing your investment property for you. Brett is a member of the local Aspire chapter of BNI which is an organisation for business owners wanting to grow their business through referrals, so if you’re an interested business owner get in touch and he also belongs to the Tweed Valley Vehicle Restorers Club, I just love old cars and V8’s and have a couple of them myself (though some days I wished they had air con).

Touch footy is coming back to Murwillumbah By Lionel Alexander MURWILLUMBAH TOUCH Football is back and we are a month away from starting a new season with some big changes. This year our competition will be split into two separate seasons with the first season starting early September through to mid-December and a new season commencing Feb 2021 through to May 2021. The new season will also see a change of nights: Monday night is Open Men’s and Women’s, Over 35s Men’s and Women’s. We are also introducing an Over 35s competition for women alongside our longstanding Over 35s Men’s competition, to encourage our more senior players to keep going or come back and play. Wednesday night is a mixed competition and we are also introducing a mixed masters competition to encourage our more senior players to stay in the sport. Only one trial night this season commences on Monday, September 7, and Wednesday, September 9, and the first night of competition will be the following week Monday, September 14 and Wednesday, September 16. We encourage our local high schools to get involved in our senior competition, so start asking around your school now and get a team together with your mates to play on either nights, or both. If you are a player looking for a team or if you are a team looking for a player check out the ‘No Team’ section of the website and Join the ‘Hub’. Like most sports, we are always on the lookout for more officials, particularly referees. So if you are a retired player, someone who likes to keep active or just want to
earn some extra money, we would love for you to join our refereeing ranks. Our refs courses are now available online for more convenience. Fees have also been reduced to $695 per team. For a team of 10 that is $69.50 per player, approximately $5 a game. Players are registered and insured through Touch Football Australia. Touch is still one of the most affordable sports to play for the whole family. Friday nights will see the return of our junior competition. Fees for juniors are $50 per child who already have a Murwillumbah Touch reversible playing singlet. Additional shirts or sizes are available to purchase from the club upon registration for those that have not. If you have a NSW Government Active Kids voucher, they can be used in this competition or any student playing in our senior competition can also use them. Thanks to our sponsors Tweed Valley IGA, McDonalds Murwillumbah, Mick Biltoft Dental Practice and Central Engineering.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey AT LONG last, the Tweed Byron District Men’s Singles finals have now been completed following the imposed lockdown brought about by the pandemic restrictions that began in March. Whilst all games, apart from the finals, were concluded pre-lockdown, a review of rounds results seems in order. Open Singles quarter finals results: Paul Watson (Kingscliff ) def Boyd Kelly (Cabarita); Troy Makin (Ocean Shores) def Justin Jones (Ocean Shores); Rowan Norris (Pottsville) def Ritchie Northcott (Mullumbimby); and Trent Foreman (Mullumbimby) def Jimmy Knight (Condong). Semi-finals: Troy Makin def Paul Watson and Rowan Norris def Trent Foreman.
Senior Singles quarter-finals: Peter Murphy (Kingscliff ) def Bulla Burton (Byron Bay); Steve Massey (Kingscliff ) def Bill Davey (Cabarita); Geoff Mullen (Kingscliff ) def John Turner (Cabarita); and Terry Lee (Kingscliff ) def Greg Goode (Cabarita). Semi-finals: Peter Murphy def Steve Massey and Terry Lee def Greg Mullen. Reserve Grade Singles quarter-finals: John Watson (Kingscliff ) def Richard Rombouts (Bangalow); Ian Holden (Bangalow) def Larry Parker (Cabarita); David Sheather (Cabarita) def Steve Keen (Condong); and Graham Elliott (Kingscliff ) def Jeff Nolan (Bangalow). Semi-finals: John Watson def Ian Holden and David Sheather def Graham Elliott.
Saturday afternoon, August 8, players and supporters gathered at Kingscliff Bowls Club for the finals of these championships. The Troy Makin versus Rowan Norris Open Singles final resulted in Makin taking control from the first end. Keeping Norris at bay, and plundering shots throughout a tough contest, Makin claimed victory with a solid margin. The Seniors final certainly proved to be an interesting game. Peter Murphy grabbed the lead early and only conceding three ends during the first eleven, built up a nine-shot lead against Terry Lee. Finding his mojo, Lee lifted and evened the card to 20/20 on the 21st end. Game on! Trading blows, end for end, during the remainder of an exciting dual to the finish line, resulted in Lee snatching victory in a photo finish last end. The David Sheather versus John Watson Reserve Grade final was basically a repeat
of Sheather’s performances throughout this competition. From beginning to end, Sheather dominated all his opponents claiming victory in all games with impressive margins. District Men’s Championship Fours are now under way with finals in all three categories on the agenda to be conducted at Ocean Shores Sunday, August 16. Thumbs up to Cabarita’s Laurie Freeman, winner of his club’s 2020 A Grade Singles Championship.

Bubble puts Casuarina Rugby season in doubt Glorious winter weather for Sunday sailing By Brain Laybutt THE RECENT COVID-19 border restrictions have thrown the Casuarina Rugby season into turmoil. The Casuarina team were scheduled to play Bangalow/Mullumbimby at Brunswick Heads. When the 2483 postcode was withdrawn from the border bubble, this meant that the players from Casuarina, who work across the border, became ineligible to play as they were no longer able to travel to Brunswick Heads. The Casuarina club tried frantically to change the venue, however, regrettably, the Mullumbimby club refused to budge on the relocation and all three games had to be disbanded. The club is now working with Far North Coast Rugby Union (FNCRU) to rectify the away game situation so that the club can maintain its presence within the 2020 competition.
Hopefully, the various associations can think outside the square (bubble) and come up with a resolution that will enable all clubs to continue with their 2020 season. This Saturday, Casuarina will have their 2019 grand final replay when they take on five-year defending champions – Wollongbar/Alstonville. This is shaping up as the game of the season and certainly not a game to be missed. Kick off for first grade is 3.15pm, second grade is at 1.45pm. Come along and support local rugby.

Degroot thrills on debut amid NRRRL bubble trouble By Jo Kennett THERE ARE calls for unity after a war of words broke out following new border restrictions which saw Murwillumbah and Tweed Coast unable to field sides for southern games. Fans and players from southern clubs vented online after Murwillumbah’s game at Casino and the Raiders game at Mullumbimby were cancelled with points awarded as a draw, with some saying the Tweed clubs shouldn’t get any points and shouldn’t be buying in players from Queensland. As former NRRRL reporter Steve Twohill pointed out, “A lot of players, coaching and club support volunteers and supporters either work, or some Under 18s go to school in Queensland.” “They can’t travel south of Murwillumbah otherwise they have to do 14 days of isolation,” he said. Raiders skipper Drew Lanston said while they did have players from Queensland, none of whom are paid, many of the players work in construction and travel both into Queensland and south of the bubble. “If people live on the Tweed Coast and have to work across the border they can’t go (south) past Pottsville,” Lanston said. “We all want to play. We have worked so hard to get to where we are. “Everyone has to try and get along to make it work. We have to help the admin out and make it work.” On Saturday, August 8, the Raiders held a memorial for Chris “Rubes” Cameron who tragically passed away earlier this year. “It was a really nice way to send him off, some beautiful words were said and plenty of drinks were had into the night,” Lanston said, putting everything into perspective. Cudgen notched up their first A grade win of the competition, winning four from four against the Bilambil Jets.
Three Hornets juniors – Parker Bryant, Tom Weaver and Jaylan Degroot – stepped up and quickly proved their worth, with Degroot the first to score, intercepting a Jets ball and crossing from out wide to score under the posts ten minutes in and then backing up with another one later. Mark O’Grady said the three juniors “added a bit of youth to the team which always brings a bit of enthusiasm and hunger”. “Our first two games we just tackled and didn’t hold onto the footy and it made it hard to come back, all we did was defend and then we had no energy in attack,” O’Grady said. “This time we went set-to-set and the back end of the game was where we scored all the points. “It was about 10-6 to us at half-time and we scored off the first set and we scored in the next set as well, which got all the momentum going our way. “We probably wore them down a bit as well. We just played some footy. “The juniors have to play school football during the week and hopefully they can back up”. O’Grady said he wasn’t sure what would happen with the border restrictions. “I think we are playing inside the bubble, so I’m not sure who we are playing, but it will just be local derbies, which will put us at a disadvantage,” he said. “We are going to have a meeting about it tonight, but it’s all pretty frustrating.” Cudgen Reserve Grade also got the win, 18-14 with the Under 18s in another close win, 26-22. The Cudgen Hornets Ladies League Tag team are looking the goods in their second year in the competition, winning 34-0. Ballina beat Northern United, (who played so well last week to take down the Mustangs) 62-10, while Marist Brothers beat an understrength Byron side 52-0.
By Commodore Bill Fenelon SAILING WAS all over the lower river last Sunday with a strong winter fleet engaged in three short races from Fingal Head. It was a perfect winter’s day with light wind, sailing was scheduled for the top of the neap tide and the water was crystal clear. A total of 15 boats enjoyed the pleasant sailing conditions. Tweed Valley Sailing Club has a unique fleet of competitive three-handed Corsair class boats. Seven boats of the Corsair class competed with each race having a different winner. Skippers are tuning up their boats and crews, getting ready for intense racing in the Summer Corsair Class Championship. The club’s other major crewed class is the two-handed NS14. Two of these boats competed, with Fingal team Adam Hurt and skipper Tom Busbridge winning all three races. The NS14 is a strong class on the Tweed. This summer we expect a fleet of eight of these
competitive racing boats, as crews prepare for the next national championship. Two single-handed Olympic class Lasers were racing, with Monique Smith winning all three races. Olympic classes were well represented, thanks to a rare appearance on the water for the club’s Olympic 470. The Tweed Valley Sailing Club is open and conducting casual racing. Our next sailing day will be Sunday, August 23. Our biggest annual event, the longdistance river passage race, starting at Condong and finishing at Fingal Head, takes place on September 20. We are observing the NSW Public Health Order (COVID-19). Attendance at events must be registered and we request participants to book. Please contact Club Commodore Bill Fenelon on: 0411 123 405.
Tweed Coast kids rip it up at State Titles Quincy Symonds taking it to the lip during one of the heats
WHILE NOT grabbing a NSW Title, Tweed Coast surfers have performed well to pick up a spot in the NSW team for the Australian Junior Titles to be held at North Stradbroke Island in late November or early December this year. Held in great conditions at Sawtell Beach near Coffs Harbour, Angourie surfer Dakota Walters won the under 16 boys, and local Rosie Smart from Coffs Harbour took out the NSW under 16 titles. Quincy Symmonds placed fourth in the under 16 girls and Riley Munro placed fourth in the under 16 boys, although not where they would like to place. They have made the NSW team and can prepare for the Australian Titles, with some work to do for organisers with current border lockdowns and COVID-19 cases around the country.
COVID-19 and the Australian Surfing Titles
THERE WILL be some hard work regarding the logistics of getting the Australian Titles up and running, but at least with them still three months away, there is time on the side of Surfing Australia.
It may be a more difficult task for the Australian Surf Championships. As the situation further develops, at this stage, the Australian Surf Championships have been moved to October 17 - November 2, at Port Macquarie, with a final evaluation to run or cancel by 5pm on September 17. The Nudie Australian Para Titles at Port Macquarie are now scheduled for October 22, again September 17 will be when the final decision will be made. The Australian SUP Titles, to be held at Phillip Island in Victoria, is now moved to November 10-14, with a final decision to run being made on October 2. The Australian Junior and School Titles to be held at North Stradbroke Island in November 28 to December 5. The final call on this event will be made by October 12. It is a movable feast, with everything fluid and changing as the COVID-19 crisis develops.

Border lockdown puts pressure on construction industry By Jo Kennett
A BUILDING industry representative says the Tweed Shire construction industry will “grind to a halt” before the end of the month, unless border restrictions for construction workers are changed. Master Builders President of the Tweed Division, Peter Leotta, said he had been in urgent discussions with builders in the area and the situation was dire. “It will be approximately one and a half weeks before every builder in the Northern Rivers comes to a complete halt based on the fact they have hit a roadblock from a supplier or trade,” Mr Leotta said. “I have been inundated with calls with builders telling me they could potentially only trade for three weeks before they go broke. “There are trades workers which are halfway through completion and can’t get to a job to complete because, for instance, a painter in Tugun can’t get to his job in Ballina to finish painting.” Mr Leotta said between Friday afternoon and Monday morning,
August 10, he had 83 calls from distressed workers. “Some of them have been in tears and it’s just now that the severity of the situation is becoming understood. “This is in a time when the building industry is already doing it tough and it is the main economic drive in NSW and Queensland. “There has not been one site to case transmission on a construction site anywhere in Australia. “We are calling to be classified as an essential service which we were before.” Mr Leotta said Tweed Shire workers were dependent on work further south or north. “The Tweed Coast has only 31 homes under construction, but we have 382 registered builders in the region and that isn’t taking into account the nearly 800 registered tradesmen,” he said. “If a builder goes to Ballina they can’t get a specialty tradesman or supplies which affects all their other tradesmen. “Then we have homeowners balancing mortgages and rents while they wait for their homes to be built which will potentially

have a negative impact on their financial business.” In the short time The Weekly spoke to Mr Leotta on Monday, he missed another 32 calls and said the issue would mean that some people applying for the federal HomeBuilder scheme would not make the cutoff date. “It’s dire,” he said. “The measures the building industry has put into place have worked, they have cut numbers on site and we have effectively been able to protect our industry and workers. “Now we are being hindered for political gain by a premier who is allowing people in the industry to suffer without any consultation.” Mr Leotta has written to all Northern Rivers councils and made a formal submission to the Queensland Premier and Queensland Health. “(Cr) Chris Cherry has been wonderful, she is a breath of fresh air,” he said. “We have also pushed this with Queensland Master Builders to raise this as a concern and to seek specifically to have us regarded as essential activity.”
Tweed construction could stall due to COVID-19
Mr Leotta said it was concerning that some businesses would not survive. “There are very serious mental health concerns with this and that becomes increasingly challenged when financial hardship is involved,” he said. “It takes away any hope for our industry. “Our industry has always rested on the foundation of, ‘we go where the work is’, but so many of our community suffer in silence and this will add to the negative effect on the mental health of many trades, many builders and many suppliers locally.” Tweed Coast plumber Drew Lanston said if people live on the Tweed Coast and have to work across the border, they can’t go past Pottsville.

“That makes it really hard,” Mr Lanston said. “We have work in Yamba and we work on the Goldy so we just have to work in the bubble I guess, but it makes it hard. “We have work and will go about it as planned, but until we hear more we don’t know what’s in store. “A lot of people don’t know what’s going on and it will add 100 per cent to people’s stress.” If you are experiencing distress please reach out and contact Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 (online chats are available) or Lifeline on 13 11 14 with text chats available on 0477 13 11 14.
