Burning flood study questions

By Jonathon Howard

AS THE Tweed Valley Flood Study information sessions rapidly approach, Tweed Shire Council’s Director of Engineering David Oxenham has helped to clarify common questions raised amongst landholders.

These questions cover topics such as CSIRO and National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) funding, hydrological studies and the big question as to whether the Tweed River needs dredging.

Is it true Tweed Shire Council 1 has missed out on three rounds of funding for CSIRO and NEMA to do a detailed hydrological study of the Tweed River system?

“No, this is not true. The NEMA Northern Rivers Resilience Initiative, incorporating the Richmond River CSIRO study, is not a grant program nor has there been three rounds of funding for CSIRO and NEMA to do detailed hydrological studies. It is a ‘one-off’ project conducted solely for the federal government by the CSIRO. Despite this, in early 2023, council formally requested that the Tweed River be included in the CSIRO’s project.

However, NEMA/CSIRO advised they do not have the resource capacity to complete a study of the Tweed River,” Mr Oxenham told the media.

Why has Tweed Shire Council 2 not secured a grant for a CSIRO assessment?

“As noted above, the NEMA/CSIRO project is not an open grant program available to councils. NEMA/CSIRO have advised council that they do not have the resources or capacity to include the Tweed River in their project.

Many locals believe the 3 Tweed River should be

dredged as it was 40 years ago.

Are there any plans to do this?

whelmingly these were conducted for the clear passage of vessels, safe navigation, and for the extraction of material for filling and construction. During this period of dredging the Tweed experienced multiple major flood events (eg 1954, 1974, 1989) that caused widespread damages across the community.

Ongoing dredging operations by the state government focus on safety and navigation of the Tweed River entrance and Cudgen Creek. Council carries out ad hoc and localised dredging to ensure ongoing access to and operation of infrastructure such as floodgates and boat ramps.

The use of dredging for flood mitigation purposes requires consideration of potential changes to flooding behaviour and the economic and environmental costs of the activities.

Council’s investigations to date demonstrate that

there is limited flood mitigation benefit to dredging the river.

There are substantial costs, environmental impacts, and complex approval processes associated with dredging operations. In addition, in some cases dredging can make flooding worse for other areas (e.g. downstream).

Council has no plans for broadscale river dredging for flood mitigation purposes. However, council will continue to support state government navigational dredging, perform local ad hoc dredging to maintain infrastructure function, and consider dredging as part of future floodplain risk management studies prepared in accordance with the NSW Flood Risk Management Manual.

Detergent and war memorial fountain do not mix

Many kids and adults may think it’s fun to place detergent in the Anzac Memorial Fountain in Jack Evans Boat Harbour (TVW, February 1, Letters).

I don’t like to be a killjoy but it’s wrong on a couple of levels.

First, the detergent would not be good for the pump motor or the quality of the water. This pump seems to be out of action for many months each year and detergent would not be good for it.

Secondly, the main point is it is a war memorial. If a statue of a soldier were there, children and adults would not be permitted to climb and play upon it. The same applies for a memorial fountain.

It is there not as a static statue but as a beautiful reminder of the sacrifices our forefathers and mothers made during war times and should demand more respect.

Doug Hughes, Tweed Heads

Proud new Australian

I was one of the lucky 32 residents of the Tweed region who became Australian citizens on Thursday, January 25.

It was a very proud day for me, celebrating with family and recognising some Tweed residents for their community work through the Australia Day awards.

There was strong attendance from local politicians — Geoff Provest spoke very eloquently about respecting differences. Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry made everybody feel incredibly welcome and shared that this event is amongst one of her favourite duties. Personally, I was very comfortable celebrating this important milestone in my life on January 25 — along with the differences in significance that January 26 holds for Australians, I believe there’s a financial benefit given that council officials don’t need to be paid public holiday

rates to administer the event on January 26, saving the public purse.

It also happens to be my partner’s parent’s wedding anniversary date as well!

But hey, what would I know? I just got here.

Warren Powell, Banora Point

Appalling neglect of asylum seekers

I write in despair at the inhumanity of our government in ignoring the appalling neglect of 50 ex-detainees from Manus Island detention centre.

Most have met the criteria for certification as refugees. Not only were these people incarcerated for 10 years merely for seeking asylum from persecution, but abandoned in an inhospitable country that now denies them sustenance.

In 2021, the Coalition paid an undisclosed sum to the PNG government to look after these folks and help them source resettlement in third countries such as the US, Canada and New Zealand. As of November 23, last year, all financial support was cut off and both governments (Australia and PNG) have denied all responsibility amid allegations of corruption and breach of contract.

Now there are 50 men, 20 partners and 33 children facing homelessness and destitution as the end result of Operation Sovereign Borders and offshore detention.

Australian charitable donations are the only money they receive.

About 12 are unable to participate meaningfully in resettlement processes, and at least three are so psychiatrically ill they are paranoid and refusing all offers of help, including food, even from fellow refugees.

How can we Australian citizens accept the response from our Minister of Home Affairs that these victims of our abuse and neglect are not the responsibility of our government?

We detained them; we forcibly transported them; we incarcerated them for 10 years and we have now

abandoned them in an increasingly dangerous nation that denies responsibility for their wellbeing.

Marilyn Lebeter, Smiths Creek

Why we celebrate Australia Day

Having just celebrated Australia Day 2024, I wonder how many people really know what we have been celebrating?

It certainly is not the landing of Arthur Phillip on Australian shores!

On January 26, 1949, a significant moment in Australian history occurred when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted.

This legislation marked the first time that the term ‘Australian Citizen’ was officially used in any Australian law, including the Australian Constitution.

The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was proposed by Australia’s first Minister for Immigration, Arthur Calwell, with the aim to formalise the concept of Australian Citizenship.

Prior to 1949, there was no concept of Australian citizenship and when Australians travelled abroad, they held British passports.

So that is what we celebrate on 26th of January each year.

This information was certainly not conveyed to me during my school years and I have to ask whether it is taught to children in school today?

Register the e-scooters first for safety’s sake

I would like to suggest that any self-propelled vehicle that can travel faster than a brisk walking pace should be licensed, insured and have a licence plate. It should only travel on the road.

Peter Hanson, Tweed Heads

Safety first on our roads

I am writing to express my concern regarding the increasingly prevalent issue of young riders using electric bikes, e-scooters, and e-skateboards on roads without proper safety measures in place and with complete disregard to the law.

Give your local bloke a call...

(02) 6672 3226

I witnessed a distressing scene of a maybe 14-year-old rider riding the double lines at approximately 60 kilometers per hour. What’s more alarming is that the rider wasn’t wearing a helmet, had headphones on, and was wearing inadequate footwear, opting for thongs instead. This scenario highlights a dangerous trend where safety regulations and laws are being blatantly ignored, putting not only the rider’s life at risk but also endangering others on the road.

Surely parents need to take responsibility and prioritise safety to their children if they are riding these modes of transport on public roads, which I understand is illegal in NSW. Furthermore, there needs to be a greater emphasis on enforcing regulations and educating riders about responsible usage of electric vehicles.

I don’t think that ‘being spoken to’ is adequate to deter the practice. It’s not just about personal choice; it’s about ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone in our community.

As a society, we must address this issue before more accidents occur.

Let’s promote a culture of safety and responsibility among riders of all ages.

Now we live together on earth amid the moon and the stars.

We’ll find a level playing field, We know opposites attract Each must know when to yield Don’t compete and compare Just have each other’s backs.

Let’s share our qualities, be kind gentle and strong, Celebrate our differences, learn from each other And we’ll all get along.

Lesley Gail, Chillingham

Please give blood in 2024

Australian Red Cross, Lifeblood and the Cancer Council have joined forces to call on Tweed Shire residents to please support people living with cancer by donating blood and plasma following World Cancer Day on Sunday, February 4.

People living with cancer are the biggest users of donated blood in Australia, and more are reliant on blood than ever before.

Currently, more than 10,000 blood donations are needed every week to support people living with cancer and with diagnoses predicted to increase by 72 per cent by 2040, cancer patients will need even more donors to support them over the next decade.

Cancer Council CEO Professor Tanya Buchanan said as cancer diagnosis increases dramatically over the coming years, so too will the need for life-saving blood products.

Almost one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85 and the number of Australians living with, or beyond cancer in 2040 is expected to reach 1.9 million people, up from 1 million people in 2018.

To book a donation, call 13 14 95 or book online at lifeblood.com.au or on the DonateBlood app.

Fury at flood insurance inquiry

91162

AN INQUIRY into the response of insurance companies to the 2022 floods has heard of the “appalling” behaviour of insurers, with one federal MP blasting industry representatives over the ‘lies’, ‘vindictiveness’ and ‘gaslighting’ of insurers.

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics’ Inquiry into insurers’ responses to 2022 major floods began last week.

The committee has so far heard from advocates for flooded residents, insurance and finance regulators ASIC and APRA, victims of the floods, and insurance representatives.

Many Tweed Shire residents have previously spoken of the terrible time they had trying to get insurance claims settled so they could rebuild.

Consumer advocates from Choice, the Consumer Action Law Centre and the Financial Rights Legal Centre spoke on the opening day about the re-traumatising of flood victims dealing with insurance companies and their “appalling behaviour.”

They called on insurers to “right now” allocate more resourcing for claims, to communicate clearly and transparently, and to stop denying claims on “spurious grounds” without evidence.

“This is particularly concerning given we know that people are already doing it tough, with our recent data showing that 75 per cent of flood-affected clients are suffering from mental ill-health, and almost 90 per cent are struggling to pay for basic necessities,” Financial Counselling Australia’s National Disaster Coordinator, Vicki Staff, said.

On Monday, February 5, independent MP Andrew Gee, who instigated the inquiry, blasted the CEO of the Insurance

Council of Australia (ICA), Andrew Hall, after he laid much of the blame for the industry response on a ‘critical trade shortage’, the length of time people took to begin claims, the government for allowing floodplain development, climate change and the dire straits the industry is in.

“We heard last week evidence of policy holders being coerced, gaslit, ghosted, very vindictive behaviour, lies being told, the deliberate withholding of building claim reports,” a clearly angry Mr Gee said.

“Are you embarrassed and ashamed by that evidence? Your organisation is responsible for this industry but you seem to have a problem acknowledging how shameful the industry behaviour was.

“People don’t even know what’s in the product you are selling them. It’s still happening.”

Mr Gee also spoke of an event where insurers openly discussed bonuses over flood insurance claims in front of “traumatised policy holders.”

“There’s no doubt the floods of 2022 were very challenging, and they tested insurers’ systems, processes and people like never before,” Mr Hall said.

“Insurers and their staff worked day and night to meet the needs of their customers, the majority of whom had their claim resolved in a satisfactory way.”

Later he said that if insurance companies continue to run at a loss, insurance will continue to go up.

Mr Gee said the industry “is not making a loss” with ASIC saying last week the year end net profits after tax was $4.6 billion, up 408.2 per cent.

“The industry is not on its knees,” he said.

“You are making money. You are making a lot of money.”

He blasted the ICA over incomprehensible and deceptive insurance forms.

“The holy grail is for people to angry Andrew Gee understand what An questioning Mr Hall they are paying for,” Mr Hall said, adding that “the days of developing on floodplains need to end.”

Committee Deputy Chair, Garth Hamilton MP, said that while we are still building homes in high-risk areas, “clearly we are exploiting the most vulnerable people.”

“When you use cheap land to build cheap houses you get a certain socio-demographic profile for that area that can least afford the most expensive insurance premiums,” Mr Hall said, while adding wealthier people can get insurance discounts.

He said if people can’t afford insurance “they lose everything.”

“They then rely on the state to help them get back on their feet and they never do,” he said.

“When you’re in a home that’s in a one in 20 (flood area) that means every five years it’s going to happen again. We saw plenty of those examples in the Northern Rivers.

“I can’t tell you how many local governments come to me with a development that has been taken out of their hands (often by state planning) which they know is in the wrong location that shouldn’t be built.”

He said those developments are often uninsurable but buyers may not know that.

“It happens a lot in NSW,” he said.

The committee is to report by September 30.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! College welcomes new principal

By Jonathon Howard

The importance of knowing courtroom etiquette Courtroom etiquette is important to know because the correct behaviour in court helps make a good impression on the judge if you are facing them on a charge.

Behaving badly, swearing or abusing anyone in the courtroom, jumping up and down, chewing gum or dressing in leather bikie gear will not endear you to the judge or magistrate.

Continued bad behaviour or refusal to obey a judge’s order can land you with a contempt of court charge, punishable by a maximum of 28 days in prison and/or a $2,200 fine.

Molly Hayter at Stacks Law Firm offers several points to remember when appearing in a NSW court.

“The rules of courtroom etiquette must be followed by everyone attending court, including those who are not involved in the proceedings,” Ms Hayter said.

“Courts and the law can be complicated, and the consequences of a conviction are serious. It is very wise to be represented by a lawyer, although people can represent themselves.

“The first time in a court can be confusing, but court officers are there to help. If you have a lawyer with you, follow their instructions.

“It’s best to dress conservatively. Remove your hat and sunglasses. You can bring a supporting friend who may speak on your behalf with the permission of the judge or magistrate.

“If you’re alone, first find out in which court your matter is being heard. Your name should be on a list in the public reception area. Local courts usually start at 9.30am.

“When entering the court, bow your head to the front of the courtroom. This pays respect to the authority of the court, represented by the coat of arms over the judge’s chair, not necessarily to the judge. It’s a custom more than a requirement, but the judge may notice if you don’t nod.

“Take a seat in the public seating area at the back of the court and stay quiet. A court officer will ask your name and tell you when your matter will be called. The officer may ask some details of your case, such as whether you intend to plead guilty or ask for an adjournment.

“This can take time, so it’s best to bring a book.

Eating and drinking is not allowed in court. Mobile phones must be turned off. Don’t take photographs.

If you are concerned for your safety, ask the court officer for a safe room or support staff.

“Stand whenever the judge or magistrate enters the courtroom. When you are called, stand and address the magistrate or judge as ‘Your Honour’. Answer questions politely and follow their instructions.”

STUDENTS AND staff at Mount St Patrick College Murwillumbah are pleased to welcome their new principal Gavin Dykes for the start of 2024.

Mr Dykes has moved up to the Tweed with his wife and four children from Albur y Wodonga having been the principal at Xavier High School for many years.

He brings a wealth of knowledge in Catholic education, having taught for the past 31 years, and has a passion for helping young people realise their full potential.

Although hitting the ground running having taken over from previous principal Paul Reidy, Mr Dykes said he’s eager to observe how the college is operated before making any changes.

“What I love about being a principal is being able to help young people realise their full potential,” he said, when asked

by The Weekly what he loves about the top job.

“My first year at Mount St Patrick College will not be about big changes, it’s really about observing and appreciating the school and its community first.

“From there, I want to build and develop our key outcomes for all students whether it be faith, academic results or wellbeing.”

Born in Yarrawonga on the VictorianNew South Wales border, Mr Dykes grew up in North East Victoria and is a strong supporter of the Carlton AFL team.

He’s travelled extensively, which he still

Mount St Patrick College welcomes new principal Gavin Dykes with the school captains

enjoys with his family, and was a teacher in London for several years where he met his wife Jo. “My wife is also a senior teacher in the Tweed Shire and we’ve settled in the area for now, which is a beautiful coastal town — we feel very lucky and blessed to be here,” he said.

“We are hoping to settle in the Tweed Valley as more properties become available, but for now the whole family is loving the move to the Tweed.”

Mr Dykes said he has an open-door policy and looks forward to understanding the needs of the students, parents and staff.

The Weekly asked Mr Dykes what are some of the challenges of being the head of one of the Tweed Shire’s most popular Catholic schools.

“There are many elements that need to be considered when leading a school and of course it’s about achieving great outcomes for all students, but it’s also governance and ensuring the school meets its obligations to the diocese, education

department and wider community,” he said.

Mr Dykes wanted to emphasise his appreciation to the parishes for welcoming him to the community.

“I’m really appreciative of the support of the parishes including Sacred Heart Murwillumbah Father Peter Wood and St Anthony’s Kingscliff Father Paul McDonald.”

Finally, Mr Dykes had a message for all his students returning to school this month.

“I would like to tell all our students that I’m approachable and look forward to getting to know them and their goals better this year,” he said.

“I’m eager to see our students excel and be the best they can be in their educational pathways.

“I’d like to tell their parents as well that I have an open-door policy, so please come and say ‘hello’ as we get to know each other and understand their student’s goals and needs.”

Every vape hits your health

By Jonathon Howard

IT’S NO secret that a growing number of Tweed Shire youngsters are vaping.

The challenge is to find a way to make them realise that vapes are bad for you and could lead to health problems.

The task has fallen to the NSW Government which is launching a fresh advertising campaign titled ‘Every vape is a hit to your health’.

The hope is to make young people reconsider the use of electronic cigarettes and put their health first.

It comes as the latest NSW Population Health Survey shows vaping among people aged 16 to 24 has significantly

increased to 16.5 per cent in 2021-22, up from 4.5 per cent two years prior.

The Weekly has heard firsthand accounts from Tweed students who are seeing the vaping craze in the community and have felt peer pressure at school.

The state’s campaign is also designed to encourage young people to consider the proven health harms of vaping, such as nicotine addiction, lung damage, breathlessness, nicotine poisoning and burns from exploding vapes.

Minister for Education and Early Learning and Deputy Premier, Prue Car, said vaping is a serious issue and is having a significant impact on students and young people.

“It is important that as we work together to tackle the scourge of vaping, we lead with an evidenced-based approach, and bring the experiences of young people to the forefront,” she said.

For support and advice about quitting vaping young people are encouraged to contact their general practitioner, download a quit vaping app, or call Quitline on 13 78 48.

You can get involved on the day by organising your own clean up event or joining an existing event. On the day, all volunteers receive a free Clean Up kit, containing gloves and bags and other resources, with packs for individuals, families and community groups available.

2023 saw some 50 registered clean ups take place across the Tweed. Hundreds of people across schools, community groups and businesses pulled on their gloves to clean up our beaches, parks and waterways.

To register a clean up event, visit Clean Up Australia Day’s website at cleanup.org.au

Residents are invited to the next Community Action Network event at Mooball to explore the topic of sustainable transport.

Sustainable transport in the spotlight Are you interested in sustainable transport? How about a free bike maintenance and repair workshop?

Come along to the next Tweed Community Action Network event at the Victory Hotel at Mooball on Saturday 24 February from 9 to 11:30 am to get involved and share your ideas.

During the workshop, participants will plan and develop community-led action to support and promote more sustainable transport, followed by a bike maintenance and repair workshop from Northern Rivers Cycles.

The Community Action Network is for people who want to act for sustainable living and developing community-

led solutions to climate change. Transport emissions currently make up approximately 32% of carbon emissions in the Tweed.

Morning tea will be provided. This is a free event hosted by Tweed Shire Council as part of its commitment to reducing the community’s impact on the environment and adapting to climate change for a sustainable future.

Registrations are essential. For further information and to register, visit tweed.nsw.gov.au/climate-change. For more information, contact Council’s education officer – sustainability Jane Moad at jmoad@tweed.nsw.gov.au or phone 02 6670 2400.

You can get involved on the day by organising your own clean up event or joining an existing event. These young residents helped out in Pottsville last year.

Have your say on Tweed Valley Flood Study

An aerial image of Chinderah, looking north to Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, during the 2022 flood.

Tweed Shire Council will host a series of information sessions in coming weeks to seek vital community input as part of plans to complete the final phase of the Tweed Valley Flood Study.

The final study will be used to update the Tweed Valley Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan 2014 (tweed.nsw.gov.au/flood-risk-management). It is Council’s key strategy document for managing flood risk in the Tweed Valley, including flood risk planning, development controls and emergency management.

Afternoon, face-to-face information sessions, from 4 to 6 pm, will be held as follows: • Tyalgum – Tyalgum Community Hall, Monday 19 February • Uki – Holy Trinity Church, Wednesday 21 February

• Chillingham – Chillingham Community Hall, Thursday 22 February • Murwillumbah – Murwillumbah Civic Centre Auditorium, Monday 26 February • Chinderah – Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club, Tuesday 27 February • Tweed Heads – South Sea Islander Room, Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre, Wednesday 28 February.

For those unable to attend the face-to-face sessions, there will be an online session at 5 pm on Thursday 7 March.

Emission reduction targets at Council Tweed Shire Council has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by an impressive 19% in the last financial year – putting it on track to achieve its emission reduction goals.

This significant achievement is included in Council’s Environmental Sustainability Performance Report for the 2022/23 financial year which shows a total greenhouse gas count of 17,873 tonnes, down 4,188 tonnes – representing a 19% decrease year on year.

The positive sustainability results can be attributed to reduced electricity use – particularly in water and wastewater pumps and treatment – and a return to preflood patterns of vehicle use.

Here are some of the results: • Grid electricity consumption dropped by 11% in the year to 30 June 2023 because of improved energy efficiency and additional solar projects.

• Transport fuel use and associated emissions reduced

by 48%, after peaking during the February/March 2022 flood response.

• At the Murwillumbah Civic Centre where a significant number of Council staff are based, 55% or 18,450 kg of materials was diverted from landfill, in line with the ‘less to landfill’ focus of Council’s Towards Zero Waste Strategy.

Council’s sustainability results also highlighted some poor results: • an 8% increase in printed paper use, attributed to staff returning to work sites post-COVID • an almost 80% increase in water use in public parks, due to Tweed Shire recording less than half the rainfall of the previous year.

The body of the man was found on the M1 near the Tweed Valley Way overpass

Motorcyclist killed on M1

By Jo Kennett

AFTER INITIALLY suspecting foul play, Tweed Police are now saying they don’t believe the death of a motorbike rider on the M1 Pacific Motorway at Chinderah early on Monday morning, February 5, was a hit and run.

Traffic ground to a halt in the southbound lanes as emergency services raced to the scene after the body of a man was found on the M1.

Transport NSW initially posted on their Live Traffic site that all southbound lanes of the M1 were closed “due to a collision involving a car and pedestrian near Tweed Valley Way.” Police later said the man had been hit by two cars, however they didn’t initially realise there was a motorbike crashed above them on the overpass.

A local man was on his way to work and found the motorbike crashed in the middle of the road, still running, on the off-ramp to Tweed Valley Way. He moved it off the road and he and his friends looked for the rider but couldn’t find him.

When they went back up to the top of the off-ramp they looked over the railing to the M1 and saw police everywhere.

The man said there were skid marks on the Murwillumbah exit from the M1 and thought

the rider might have gone over the guardrail and landed on the freeway below.

Another man, who was one of the first at the scene, said the motorcycle was on the overpass, without a rider, facing the wrong way on the wrong side of the road.

He told the police, who were down on the M1 and unaware of the motorbike.

Traffic banked up with all southbound lanes of the M1 closed in the area, with vehicles diverted via Tweed Valley Way and Clothiers Creek Road and trucks parked. The highway reopened just before 1pm.

Tweed Police said they have commenced an investigation into the incident, and anyone with information is urged to come forward.

The identity of the rider was unknown at the time of print.

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

Anyone with dashcam footage who may have been travelling along the M1 in the moments before the rider was located is urged to contact Tweed Heads Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Information is treated in strict confidence.

By Jo Kennett

A 37-YEAR-OLD man appeared in court after an incident in Tweed Heads on Friday morning, February 2, where an elderly man was seriously injured following an assault.

He was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The man was refused bail and appeared before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, February 5.

Tweed Police say they remain committed to public safety with high visibility proactive local patrols ongoing.

Councillor elections 2024

By Jonathon Howard

LOCAL GOVERNMENT elections are set for September 14 this year and The Weekly is getting in early to find out which of our current seven councillors will recontest.

The question comes as Tweed Shire Council will host several briefing sessions in May and June for prospective candidates.

This week we speak with four councillors and the remaining three will run in next week’s edition.

C r N o la F i r t h

Cr Nola Firth said this “term has been an amazing ride” and she’s ready to run again.

“I have learned so much, but I feel I am just getting started and there remains much to do! So, I have again put myself forward for Greens pre-selection,” she said.

“I am very proud to have achieved many goals this term.

“Some of these include actioning the Cool Towns urban heat and native habitat project (by staffing and funding), textile recycling and a reusable nappy rebate, the ‘Give a Rats’ campaign, increased native tree protection and native tree replacement ratios in DAs, and an anti-ageist campaign to name a few.

“If elected again I want to continue

progressing such issues, including limiting future development that encroaches onto greenfield and bushland areas — we already have Kings Forest and other housing-approved areas.

“Social and affordable housing in high density areas and homelessness support are also urgent, as is increased resourcing of weed management — weeds being a key contributor to loss of biodiversity in our precious World Heritage area.

“We need also to build more of our economy and jobs on new opportunities such as active transport infrastructure, weed management, regenerative agriculture and climate friendly house retrofitting.

“Finally, more urgency needs to be given to actioning our climate emergency action plan — as it is indeed an emergency!

“I believe I have the time, passion, strategic and research skills to build on the achievements, knowledge, networks and experience I have gained during my first term in council. I would feel privileged to continue this work.”

Cr Warre

n Po l g l a s e

Cr Polglase said he’s considering his position and is leaning towards recontesting in September 2024.

“There was talk of me retiring this year after 38 years working as a councillor across multiple electorates,”

he said.

“However, I feel I’m not done yet and while I don’t want to confirm anything yet, I am leaning towards recontesting.”

Cr Polglase said he wants to see the Clarrie Hall Dam wall raising project completed as well as address the Byrrill Creek Dam proposal.

“The thing is, with a population of 100,000 in the Tweed Shire, we have a dam with capacity to serve 50,000, which meets half the requirement,” he said.

“The reason we have been able to maintain the service levels is due to the ongoing rain which has replenished the dam levels.

“We have had several severe droughts here as recently as 2017, where council was considering level three restrictions which was a dire situation.

“Whilst we can get water from Queensland via a pipeline, as we’ve seen, Queensland failed to support us in Covid, we’re now seeing issues with the fire ant from Queensland, how can we rely on this state to ensure our water security?”

Cr Polglase said if water security remains an issue for the Tweed, he’s intending to remain a councillor, but a firm decision to re-run is expected mid-2024.

Cr Meredith Dennis said “yes” she intends to recontest the September 14 election as she still has work to do.

“When I ran for council just over two years ago, I was possibly a little naive as I thought we were elected to represent our community, not our own political agendas,” she said.

Cr Me

redit h Dennis

Cr Ree

“I didn’t realise how political the whole exercise is. My original reason for running was on local issues — the water mining of our precious resource, the koala deaths on our rural roads in particular Clothiers Creek Road, native animal protection, protection of our environment, as well as the housing crisis and homelessness.

“I have an interest in health, particularly palliative care services and disability support services in the Tweed Shire, so that was also my focus.

“I soon found out that council doesn’t have much control over too many of these services.

“Yes, the koalas in Clothiers Creek and Pottsville, we can make some changes there, but we can’t change the speed limit and slow down the traffic.”

Ms Dennis emphasised that the homelessness situation is a state government issue and “we don’t have any funding to do much there”.

“The water mining, yes we can make some changes there, but need to enforce the conditions,” she said.

“Protecting the environment by not allowing overdevelopment and protecting our way of life, but quiet often we are overruled by the Land and Environment Court and state legislation.

“The state takes control away from the people. So yes, I will run again, our term was so short, we only really just got started, but I will do whatever I can to protect our shire and support the people of the Tweed into the future.”

ce Byrnes

Cr Reece Byrnes said it is “an honour to be your Labor representative on Tweed Shire Council”.

“In 2024 my Labor team and I will be asking for your support to keep fighting for and delivering for local residents,” he said.

“As a lifetime local I know why the Tweed is such a great place to live and work and that’s why every day I fight hard to make it an even better place to live.

“In 2024 we need Labor councillors on Tweed Shire Council who will put ratepayers first in every decision. Unfortunately, in this term of council we have seen councillors put residents and ratepayers last.

“Far too many times we have seen the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, The Greens and the Liberals and Nationals team up and make decisions that hurt our community. This year they teamed up and voted for an unfair rate rise on residents. Following this they teamed up and voted to give themselves a massive pay rise.

“They also teamed up to block and delay vital telecommunication infrastructure for Pottsville locals who barely have phone reception and can’t make calls in an emergency.

“The Tweed Shire can’t afford four more years of political deals between the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, The Greens and the Liberals and Nationals.

“The Tweed Shire needs a strong Labor team that will work together to drive the local economy to create jobs, protect the environment and put residents first.”

Bus passenger forums

By Jonathon Howard

HAVE YOU ever wanted a direct bus route to the Gold Coast Airport from Murwillumbah?

Or what about a direct bus to Pottsville from Murwillumbah? Well this month could be your chance to ask for just that via a public forum.

Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin has launched bus passenger forums for both Murwillumbah and Lismore and she’s encouraging residents to have their say about vital bus services.

“The NSW Government has set up a Bus Industry Taskforce to make recommendations on how to make bus services better across NSW,” she said.

“The taskforce is holding forums in Murwillumbah and Lismore this month to hear directly from passengers and local communities about what they want to get from their bus services.

LOCAL LEGEND Pat McDonald celebrated his 90th birthday surrounded by family and friends at the Condong Bowling Club on Sunday, February 4.

Pat is a local icon for many reasons, including his family heritage, but more so for producing some of the finest Jersey cows in Australia — if not the world.

He’s done it all from the lesser-known but much-loved suburb of Tygalgah across from the Tweed River Jockey Club.

Pat was born in Murwillumbah on February 1, 1934, and has lived here all his life. Pat’s parents, Frank and Angela McDonald, were dairy farming at Commercial Road and began the Kendonvale Jersey Stud name in 1934.

“I went to school in Murwillumbah as well as boarded at Woodlawn College,” Pat told The Weekly.

“The Tweed Valley was a great place to grow up, with farming and football being fond memories of that time. I met my wife Trish in 1957 at the local ball and we married in 1959.”

Pat and brother Brian began leasing the Tygalgah property from 1957-1962, whilst still maintaining the Kendonvale milking herd. In later years Pat’s parents moved to another property, now known as Frangela Drive. Readers will be interested in learning ‘Frangela’ is the combination of Pat’s parents names Frank and Angela.

The Kendonvale herd was divided equally between the brothers in 1964, where Pat and Trish moved to the Tygalgah property and the Kenarie Jersey Stud name soon emerged, being a combination of the Kendonvale name and Eurarie (the stud name of the first sire Pat used in the herd).

“We have raised six children and experienced a lot in our time here.” Trish said, including enduring every record flood.

“We’ve been blessed with six children including four girls and two boys.”

Pat and Trish’s children — Mary, Colleen, Jennifer, Leonie, David and Frank have all played active roles in dairy farming and showing the Jerseys over the years, including parading and leading the prize cattle.

The family’s Jerseys have achieved outstanding results including many supreme champions at the Sydney Royal Show, Brisbane Royal Show, Lismore Show (formerly the North Coast National Show) and local shows all along the Far North Coast and some in Queensland.

“We attended the Brisbane Shows for 47 years straight before Covid put a stop to our run,” Pat said.

Pat’s Jerseys are well-known locally but also have a stellar reputation amongst breeders both in Australia and worldwide such as Japan. Pat has immense breeding knowledge and a gift for producing some of the finest examples of Jersey cows in the business.

“Through his extensive knowledge of breeding and predicting what future cows might look like, Dad uses his experience to pick the best possible traits to combine,” Jennifer told The Weekly.

“A lot of this is done on computers today, but Dad can produce a lot of that data in his head which is unique.”

The outcomes and key results for the McDonald farm is incredible Jersey cow genetics, with a high demand for their precious milk largely going overseas through supply to Richmond Dairies.

Pat served a term on the NSW State Jersey Society Committee as the Promotion Officer (late 1970s), as well as a founding member and Chairman for 20 years of the Dairy Spectacular Committee which promoted the highest prize schedule in Australia of $30,000 per show.

Pat has been honoured with life membership of Jersey Australia, Far North Coast Jersey Cattle Club and the Tweed River Agricultural Society.

Vital local flood service saved

A VITAL community flood preparedness group that was part of Hub 2484 in the 2022 flood has been thrown a lifeline in funds via a state government grant announced by Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin.

Ms Saffin said Murwillumbah Core will receive $40,000 as part of the NSW Government’s Local Small Commitments Allocation Program towards programs to help the Tweed in responding to future disasters.

Ms Saffin said Murwillumbah Core, part of the Hub 2484 project, is a deserving recipient, having grown out of the volunteers who worked so effectively to support communities during the 2022 floods and since then.

“During the 2022 natural disaster, all around our region local volunteers ran flood recovery hubs on the fly, without training or funding, doing what needed to be done to keep people safe and fed and informed about the situation,”

Ms Saffin said.

“The volunteers from Murwillumbah Core did that work, and it is wonderful to see this dedicated group being funded to be better prepared for any future disaster.

“The funding will enable Murwillumbah Core to identify and train local leaders in flood impacted areas, to set up registers of residents needing assistance, have clear avenues of communications and understand the risks.”

Ms Saffin gave a particular mention to Core coordinator Kerry Pritchard.

“I congratulate coordinator Kerry Pritchard and all involved in Murwillumbah Core for the work they have done for their community and their ongoing commitment to finding effective ways to help the community be better prepared,” Ms Saffin said.

“This is a great example of how Local Small Commitments Allocation Program can support grassroots projects that will have a significant impact.”

VALENTINE’S DAY

Community Cupids spreading love with flowers

By Jonathon Howard

FLOWER ORDERS are already running hot for Valentine’s Day next week, with local business owners eager to deliver love and happiness.

There are a number of martyrdom stories associated with various Saint Valentines connected to February 14, including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century.

According to an early tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer.

Numerous later additions to the legend have related it to the theme of love: tradition maintains that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry by the Roman emperor; an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer's daughter a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell before his execution.

Origins of Valentine’s Day

Nivek and her good friends and neighbours Louise and Tim Holliday kindly took part in a photoshoot for The Weekly to celebrate all things love and to help support Nivek.

“She makes exquisite bespoke floral arrangements for all occasions and has excellent delivery turnaround,” Louise said.

“She can also customise floral arrangements and tailor designs to your specific needs.”

Both ladies will be acting as community Cupids spreading love and romance on Valentine’s Day, February 14.

“Spoil your partner with beautiful flowers and reignite the love that is burning inside you or for that special someone,” Nivek said.

“Who knows, you might even get lucky or find that special someone.”

Rescue crews flood ready

By Jo Kennett

Luka Martin is off to Sydney to attend uni at St Andrew's College

Luka lands scholarship

By Jonathon Howard

TWEED HEADS student Luka Martin has been awarded a prestigious scholarship at the esteemed St Andrew’s College within the University of Sydney.

Luka is planning to study a Bachelor of Science or Medical Science at Sydney University after he graduated from high school in 2023.

The scholarship, granted to exceptional students from rural and regional communities across Australia, is one of just 40 awarded this year.

It will support Luka’s college expenses, encompassing accommodation, meals, and academic assistance.

St Andrew’s College Principal Rob Leach heaped praise on Luka, highlighting him as a worthy recipient of a prestigious scholarship.

“We look forward to him making a substantial contribution to the academic, sporting, artistic and cultural life of our college in the years to come,” Mr Leach said.

“St Andrew’s recognises the unique challenges faced by many rural and regional students in

accessing higher education, and our scholarships are strategically designed to ease these challenges and provide much-needed financial support.”

Luka said he was humbled by the scholarship and hoped it would open up future opportunities for other teenagers from Tweed Heads.

“Due to living in a middle-class family in regional NSW, the move to Sydney for greater academic opportunities would have been very difficult to support financially,” he said.

“This generous scholarship has given me the capabilities to not only live in Sydney but also allow me to focus more on my studies due to a reduced workload to financially support myself.

“Through this opportunity, I am committed to completing my Bachelor of Science with hopeful prospects of working in the medical or chemical field.

“I hope to contribute to producing new medical technologies to aid people with illness and improve the quality of later years of life.

“I’m also interested in improving the effectiveness of current technologies and reducing environmental impacts through chemistry.”

MORE THAN 750 emergency service personnel have taken to waterways across the state this week for the NSW SES annual flood boat training exercise, with local SES and Point Danger Marine Rescue (MR) volunteers out on the Tweed River.

Who Let The Boats Out is a multi-agency flood boat exercise, designed to strengthen core skills for on-water flood rescue and flood support operations.

Led by the NSW SES as the lead state agency for flood rescue, the training exercise is now in its fourth year and is the largest simultaneous boating exercise in Australia.

“A team of five crew were deployed with our new multi-purpose vessel ‘MR21’,” MR Point Danger Deputy Commander Aaron Ashley said.

“This vessel is one of five MR NSW HQ have commissioned to increase our local capability to assist in events such as flooding to support and work with the SES during times of emergency response.

“MR21 is led by skipper Guy Youngblutt and crewed by a team from our Marine Rescue statewide State Operations Group (SOG) — Tom Cullen, Steve Ryan, Paul Casey and Tiffany Parkinson.

“These crew are undergoing specialised train-

ing to deploy with this vessel as required and this is our first real opportunity to engage in an exercise with these crew members and vessel.

“Over the Christmas and New Year period, including in the last few days, our Point Danger SOG crew and MPV vessel have been placed on standby status a number of times, ready to assist SES and local community in any capacity we are now capable of.

This exercise was a fantastic opportunity for our unit to demonstrate new skills, capability and learn, engaging in exercises working with and alongside our SES colleagues.”

The crew were joined on board by a Tweed SES member and “demonstrated just how capable and well equipped Point Danger is to respond and assist in events we may be called to provide support.”

“2022 was a bit of an eye-opener for a lot of people,” Murwillumbah SES Commander Grant ‘Jack’ Frost told the media.

“If we’ve got an SES unit with just two boats it’s really easy for them to get overwhelmed if multiple flood rescues come in.”

The exercise involved over 185 vessels from NSW SES, NSW Police, VRA Rescue NSW, Surf Life Saving, Marine Rescue, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Rural Fire Service, NSW Maritime, and the ACT SES.

SES members are hard at work across the Tweed and NSW for flood training

have a job. I had a boyfriend who was in the Air Force and went overseas.

“When he came back and we saw each other for a bit, but he ended up marrying someone else.

“Unlike some families, food rationing didn’t worry us much. “ My yo u n ge r brother Ted was a fighter pilot during the war and ended up flying spitfires in Mountbatten’s squadron in Ceylon.

“My other brother Terry was part of a bomber crew. Both brothers wrote home regularly.

“I had a nice American friend during the war. His section of the army had a relaxation camp at Southport and they took over the Tweed Heads Golf Club one night which is where I met him. His name was Roger Yepson.

“We were sitting on our back veranda in Murwillumbah when we heard that the war had ended. I think we opened a bottle of beer to celebrate.

“The great difference in growing up today than when I was a child is that we had much more freedom.

“I can’t remember what I thought about Eric when I first met him.

“I was working in Barton Place and he arranged to have a drink at The Australian.

“I was about to go into the hotel and I looked up the street where a gentleman was walking along and he stopped to tie up his shoe. This

was my first glimpse of the man I would marry.

“After writing to each other for about 12 months, we got engaged, although I did not have an engagement party.

“I can remember when in the 1960s, sitting outside of our house in Hughes and seeing a flickering light go across the sky.

“This turned out to be a Russian satellite. It was some years later, in 1969, that man landed on the moon and the astronaut said something like ‘one great step for mankind’ or something like that.”

Writing these notes when she was 104 turning 105, Rosalie said she had a “lovely function” for her 100th birthday at Jindalee to celebrate.

“I have been at Jindalee for ten years and Eric was also here,” she said.

“He was already here when I came and we were together here for about a year before he passed away.

“I have achieved all the things that I wanted to as I have been married, had children and I have travelled.

“Overall, you would have to say that I have had a good life really!”

True local Rosalie Fewster passes away aged 108 THE EXTRAORDINARY life of local Rosalie Fewster, who recently passed aged 108, was supplied to The Weekly by her family.

Rosalie was only three years shy of Australia’s oldest person Catherina van der Linden who passed away on January 26 aged 111.

Rosalie’s son Alan Fewster has kindly shared some of his mother’s fascinating story.

Having been born during World War I and enduring all the hardships and dramatic changes of the 20th and 21st centuries, Rosalie embraced life as she witnessed many changes in Australia and abroad.

Rosalie’s family history in Australia starts around the time of the Second Fleet when her great-great-greatgrandfather Private John Bray and his wife came to NSW, which makes Rosalie fifth generation born in NSW. John’s youngest son (also John Bray) lived at Denfield outside Campbelltown in Sydney. He and his wife Charlotte had ten children, Joshua was number six, and the third surviving son.

In the 1850s Joshua and his brothers were sent down to manage their father’s cattle run at Brungle (between Tumut and Gundagai).

From there, Joshua Bray went to join his brother-in-law, Samuel Gray (MLA for Kiama) who took up the ‘Wollumbin’ and ‘Upper Wollumbin

Runs’ on the Tweed River in 1863.

When land became available, Bray and Gray purchased blocks first on the north side of North Arm (Rous River) where Joshua built his house ‘Kynnumboon’ which became the post office in 1866 (the post office was moved to the growing town of Murwillumbah in 1882).

Joshua and his wife Rosalie Gertrude née Nixon had 13 children. The eldest, a daughter Nina Rosalie was born “at the Tweed” in 1866.

Nina married surveyor Edwin Hill Johnson in 1884 and they had four children, Nina, Enid, Beryl and Cedric.

The children were brought up at ‘The Tamarinds’ on Dungay Creek, and the children attended Dungay School.

In 1906, E H Johnson built a house on a house on the new subdivision in South Murwillumbah. He called it ‘Camelot’ (later ‘Greenhills’, it is now the restaurant ‘Tweed River House’).

From there, all three of his daughters were married Beryl and her husband Clarence had three children, Rosalie (born 1915) and the twins Edwin and Terrence (born 1919). Beryl and her children lived for a time in Kirra (Coolangatta) and later in Ferry Road, Murwillumbah (the widowed surveyor Johnson lived with them until his death in 1942).

“My husband’s name was Eric and we had two sons (Alan and Robert).

My husband was born in Perth and he was an only child,” Rosalie wrote in a shortened version of her life story.

“I have two beautiful granddaughters. Alan’s daughter is Elizabeth and Robert’s daughter is called Frances.

“I was born on the Tweed at Murwillumbah Hospital in December 1915.

“The first movie I saw at a picture theatre was called ‘The Lost World’ in about 1925. It was a silent movie in black and white.

“The words used to come up on the screen as captions and musical accompaniment was used with a pianist playing at the corner of the stage.

“We used to sit at the front row with our hands on the stage looking at the screen.

“I was amazed when talkies were introduced.”

Rosalie recalled there were a few pubs in Murwillumbah, one was The Imperial and the other was The Australian.

“At one stage a fire bug was operating in the town focussing on the pubs,” she said.

Denture Problems?

THERE ARE many problems that people encounter when wearing (or learning to wear) a denture – sore spots, looseness and damaged or missing denture teeth to name a few. The good news is there is no need to endure through pain or problems with your denture. In most cases, your dental prosthetist can help.

Sore spots are the most common problem faced by denture wearers. A sore spot occurs when the denture moves and rubs on the gum, causing a small amount of swelling leading to the denture rubbing more. Left untreated, the rubbing continues until the skin on the gum breaks causing a painful ulceration. This is something that can quickly be fixed by your dental prosthetist.

By identifying where the denture is rubbing on the gum, and adjusting the denture accordingly, relief should be instantaneous.

The trick is treating the sore spot when it is a small problem, before it becomes a painful ulceration.

A number of different factors can cause a denture to feel ‘loose’. If it is a partial denture, perhaps it is a simple matter of having the clasps tightened, or if it is a full denture, you may need a reline. When you have a natural tooth extracted, your gums shrink and are continually changing shape. Whilst this change slows down over time, it never completely stops, meaning that your denture is only a ‘good fit’ for a certain period of time.

A reline replaces the fitting surface of your denture to suit the shape your gums are now, not the shape they were when the denture was made. A reline usually takes one day to complete and, in most cases, fixes a perceived

looseness issue. In some cases, especially with a complete lower denture, implants may be required to stop the denture from moving around. A consultation with a dental prosthetist is the safest way to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Missing or damaged denture teeth is something that can affect daily life. Being embarrassed to smile or speak to people can seriously impact one’s self esteem. Denture teeth as well as other denture components (clasping, ‘gum’ area etc) can be replaced or repaired. A denture repair is generally fairly straight forward and happens inhouse over a couple of hours depending on the repair.

Whether you are experiencing sore spots, denture looseness, need a denture repair, or your denture simply needs a clean, Bromley’s Denture Clinic can help. We are your family owned local denture clinic with over 20 years combined experience, and whatever your denture problem may be, we are here to listen and help where ever we can. Life is too short to endure denture ‘teething problems’.

Flood survivors forum Now located in Suite 5 Malouf Medical Rooms FLOOD SURVIVORS and community groups are invited to a meeting calling on the state and federal government for a fully funded flood recovery, to be held at Ballina RSL on Monday, February 12.

The meeting has been convened by the Byron Flood Emergency Action Group (BFEAG) who say they are bringing local community groups and individuals together in a forum to discuss “the failures of the Resilient Homes Program (RHP) and the broader flood recovery.”

“Following the devastating 2022 floods, our community has tirelessly sought support from both the state and federal governments,” the BFEAG state in their invitation.

“Despite our persistent efforts, including an open letter to key political figures, the Resilient Homes Program has still been left underfunded by $700 million.

“This forum is a crucial step in amplifying our collective voice and addressing these critical issues.”

The group wants the $700 million shortfall in the RHP addressed and the state and federal government to contribute funds “to meet the $1.5 billion required.”

They also want to see a change in the current criteria for access to the RHP and say the one in 20 years flood level plus 100mm “is not fit for purpose.”

BFEAG is calling for transparent “timelines and implementation” of the RHP, including retrofits, house raising and buybacks.

They are urging local representatives Justine Elliot and Janelle Saffin to advocate for all 6,000 applicants of the RHP and review eligibility criteria.

Local politicians and flood recovery bureaucrats and officials have been invited to participate along with flood survivors and community groups.

The forum will include in-depth discussions, expert panels, and “collaborative workshops” focused on the challenges faced in the aftermath of the floods, the current state of the RHP, and strategies for advocating a fully funded recovery plan.

The free event runs from 9am to 1pm on Monday at the Ballina RSL. Tickets: events.humanitix.com/demanding-a-fully-funded-flood-recovery-a-community-forum-for-the-northern-rivers

“I WOULD especially encourage our new citizens to actively learn about our nation’s history, because you will be a part of its destiny,” Joan Henderson told a packed crowd of new Australians and award winners on January 25.

The Tweed Shire Australia Day ambassador, who works tirelessly on behalf of asylum seekers, refugees and disadvantaged people, gave a stirring speech to over 230 people at the Australia Day awards and Citizenship Ceremony.

“It was a personal and heartfelt message which I hope expresses my confidence in the Australian people,” Joan told The Weekly.

Her inspiring speech contained a strong plea: “My work with Books’n’Boots [a First Nations-run charity] and with local First Nations families has made me acutely aware of the need for reconciliation and truth-telling.

“I believe that the future of our nation relies on us constantly and vigilantly seeking the truth, even when it is difficult to face.

“All of the bravery and strengths demonstrated by our community give me confidence that we indeed have the courage to do this.”

A softly-spoken, modest compassionate woman, Joan was Tweed Shire’s 2022 Citizen of the Year, and has used her position to continue her advocacy work.

Two months ago, Joan was a part of a delegation to Parliament House Canberra to help present the case for a Royal Commission into Australia’s detention system.

More than 3000 people spent up to eight years in horrific conditions on Manus Island and Nauru for the crime of fleeing civil war, oppression and torture in their country.

“It is extremely important to shine a light on this system shrouded in secrecy that has recently been the subject of criticism from the UNHCR, and to demand openness and transparency as we would from any other institution,” she said.

MODERN SPACES, the new show at Mist Gallery in Cabarita, features six local artists working in large scale to create statement pieces for the home.

“Creating interesting spaces that reflect the region is something that many buyers consider when looking for art,” curator and Mist Gallery owner Helen Otway told The Weekly.

Josette Macpherson’s obsession with painting water continues using abstract shapes to represent the topography of small creeks and ravines found in the hinterland of the Northern Rivers region.

Jenna-Lee Joy’s landscapes capture the dance of light in nature. A warm hue bathes the scenes in a soft, dreamy tranquil glow. “I aim to evoke a sense of serene warmth, inviting viewers to wander into a dreamscape where the world is painted in the soothing palette of nature’s embrace,” Jenna-Lee told The Weekly.

Megan Cochran’s new works are inspired by the optimism of dawn. Each morning, the sun rises and light slowly, dramatically shimmers on the ocean to reveal the beauty of a new day. Through soft hues and subtle layers, Megan shares a journey of discovery and contemplation.

Samara Bult’s handcrafted ceramic forms reflect sustainable and slow living.

Every piece is made using traditional and contemporary techniques.

Kylie Findlay’s work features lyrical, whimsical colours and shapes. “These paintings have resulted through a process of experimentation with adding figures to my work but finding myself continuously pulled by the colours and shapes resulting in some unpredictable outcomes. My original intentions got lost and were recomposed into paintings that reflect the process and through that process created their own visual stories,” Kylie said.

Steve Skinner creates an alluring balance of colour and texture in abstract form. His unique rhythmic style is influenced by na-

“She has just now been accepted by France,” Joan said. “Her kickboxing coach expects she can become a world champion. She worked in a counter-terrorism unit against the Taliban.

It is very disappointing that Australia did not consider her application a priority case.”

Gary Sutton: Our Seascape prawn star

By Jo Kennett

GARY SUTTON has gained a huge following on the Seascape Trawler Watch (STW) Facebook page he started up to celebrate our hard-working Tweed Heads trawler fishermen.

The page now has 7,300 members due mainly to Gary’s wicked sense of humour.

“STW started because we bought a unit at Seascape (Tweed Heads, looking straight down the river to the bar),” Gary said.

“I was sitting on the balcony having a beer; I knew nothing about trawlers.

“I looked up and I swear to god coming towards me up the river there were six trawlers and I called my wife Michelle, and said, Come and have a look at this.”

Gary took a photo and video and posted it on Facebook and someone suggested he start his own page, with news of when the trawlers were coming into the Tweed Heads Wharf with their catch.

“I started my own page on whim, not realising it would get a following,”

91171

Gary at home at Seascape

Trawlers heading out to work. One of the many to shots by Gary Sutton

he said.

“Then when the trawlers weren’t going out there was a hole in the page so I started doing police stories and people seemed to enjoy them.

“Now I’ve been doing it for three years. There is no politics, and occasionally posts coming through I will delete if people try to be political or nasty. I won’t tolerate it.

“I try to inject as much humour as I can.”

That includes updates on his renovations to the notorious Seascape ‘Venus Room’ as well as sharing news from the trawler fishing crew.

“They love the fact that they and their occupation are shown in a positive light and help people understand the dangers and cost of going out to sea to put a kilo of prawns on your plate,” Gary said.

“That’s what I find rewarding.

“I go down occasionally and say

hello and get a wonderful welcome.

“The Liza J team even got ‘I love Gary’ and ‘I’m Gary’ t-shirts which nearly had me in tears. I thought, “How nice are you?” I was overwhelmed.

“I’ve been asked to go out on the trawlers and I won’t. The Manly ferry is enough for me.”

Born in Murwillumbah and raised in Condong (“with Condong you always had to spell the name”) Gary left school in 1969 and, with a few other Murbah boys, became a technician with the PostMaster General (PMG).

“I was based at Harbord, Sydney. and drove around fixing telephones.

“After eight years my friend and I were fixing the switchboard at the Royal North Shore Hospital and he said, ‘Let’s join the cops’ and I said, ‘Why don’t we’.

“I’d never thought about it, not even

for a minute. He may as well have said, ‘Let’s learn Chinese.”

The next week Gary and his mate were at the Redfern Police Academy.

That was 1978 and he stayed in the force for 20 years, first training as a police prosecutor.

“Dad had passed away in Murwillumbah and Mum needed someone to care for her so I transferred to Glenreagh (near Grafton) for two years and then I was transferred to Kingscliff in 1984.

“I had two years there and then I transferred to Yass which was so cold in winter I’d do callouts with my thermals on, winter pyjamas, overalls, a big Gore-tex jacket, gloves, a full face beanie.

“I’d be responsible for the care of prisoners on their way to Goulburn Gaol. Through the day I’d do normal police work and at night, from midnight onwards, I did callouts.

“You didn’t get much sleep as there were so many accidents on the old Hume Highway involving many, many semi-trailers and families.

“These semi’s would hit the black ice and jack-knife into cars. It was horrible.

“The volunteer rescue guys were mums and dads, and young people, turning up with us to extricate people out of smashed cars.

“I’ve never seen as many dead bodies as I did in that two-year period.”

In 1989 Gary transferred to Tweed Heads and retired in 1998.

“I joined Michele in real estate at Banora Point,” Gary said.

“After many years there the property market slowed considerably so we went off for a year with our

close friends Mal and Chris Mackley backpacking around the world.”

Back home, they bought two newsagency franchises at Westfield Helensvale but Gary hated it and they got out. Then Gary was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

“It metastasized to my tailbone and left lung,” he said.

“For five years I had immunotherapy with a groundbreaking drug called Keytruda because I couldn’t have chemo and it saved my life.

“I have a port-a-cath on my chest which is hopefully going to come out soon.”

Gary went into remission from cancer in 2021 and remembers getting the news.

“It was like winning the lottery,” he said.

“After the stress of police work and having cancer, I don’t take too many things seriously, hence Seascape Trawler Watch.”

Gary is still shocked at how popular he and STW are, which was underlined when he posted from hospital and received hundreds of ‘likes’ and well-wishes.

When he’s not cracking jokes and telling yarns on STW, Gary is working on his memoir, A Moment in Time, which promises to be just as entertaining.

Trades and Professional Servies Thursday, February 8, 2024

FEATURED BUSINESS MY NAME is Chris Bleakley, I’m 34 years old and I am the Owner of Valley Way Electrical. I along with my family have lived and worked in the Byron/tweed shire for most of my life.

My parents are local to Byron Bay and are a big inspiration for me as they have always contributed to their communities and I would love to follow in their footsteps and be an involved member of my local community in the Tweed Valley area. My wife and I bought land in Mooball and relocated a 1920’s Queenslander, where we plan to restore it to its former glory via a series of renovations. Last year we got married here on a property in Mooball in front of family and friends, it was a perfect reflection on why we love this area so much.

At Valley Way Electrical we offer a wide range of services in residential and commercial work.

RESIDENTIAL: We love helping to design and construct new custom-built homes, small or large-scale renovations, pools, installation of kitchen appliances or any additional circuits.

Additional electrical fixtures: Lighting, power points, ceiling fans, smoke alarms, TV, phone, data, hot water systems.

COMMERCIAL: We work with local businesses to meet and exceed their electrical needs. We regularly assist with new shop fit

VALLEY WAY ELECTRICAL 0475 910 622

outs, test & tagging as well as emergency/ exit lighting.

If you are need of any electrical assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us at Valley Way Electrical, we would love to hear from you.

I have 15 years experience as an electrician, and I pride myself on my attention to detail and workmanship. In the beginning of my career as an apprentice I took my time perfecting the basics in a few key areas of the trade, such as general electrical installs, appliance repair and preventative maintenance.

Once I became a fully qualified electrician I worked for some companies in and around the Byron Bay area, during this time I began to work on more large-scale projects and more up-market homes including new builds.

Due to the quality of my work I was given

the opportunity to become the lead electrician within the previous company that I worked for before I started Valley Way Electrical. It has been a fulfilling journey in an area I am very passionate about, I’ve had the pleasure of working on some amazing projects, met some awesome people and even brushed shoulders with stardom when working for some “celebrity” clients.

Read some of the testimonials from our clients: “I heard about Chris from a builder who said if you want an electrician who really knows what they are doing then this is your man.

Recommendations are always appreciated, so I called Chris form Valley Way Electrical, he gave me the time and day that he would be here for the job and even texted me on the day before he arrived. Chris goes about his work and gives you really good advice in a very professional and pleasant manner great communication skills which I feel is necessary for anyone in business today.” - Rick, a regular client.

“Chris and his small team are easy to get along with, clean and tidy and have a no nonsense approach to their work. Big thumbs up for Chris and the team.” - Robby Miles, RMC Build Pty Ltd

Final summer raceday A close finish

Ken and Lesley Brown visiting from Sydney

A family day out at the Tweed River Jockey Club

By Jonathon Howard

PUNTERS AND families enjoyed a day of racing at Tweed River Jockey Club for the final day of the Tweed Coast Summer Racing Series on Sunday, February 4.

The Weekly was there to catch the excitement and families enjoying one of the best jockey clubs in the country.

“Punters turned out despite hot and humid weather and were entertained

by Mark Forbes and a seven-race card event,” Tweed River Jockey Club

Local racegoers Lila Sharrock, Sanjan Dawson and Megan Kreuter

General Manager Tim Booth told The Weekly.

“The feature race titled Ellis & Baxter Kingscliff Cup was taken out by Ballina trainer Stephen Lee with Serenade the Cat in a convincing win.”

The next race meeting is on Easter Saturday, March 30, which is a Family Fun Day and will feature kids’ entertainment and hopefully a visit from the Easter Bunny.

For more information please visit the website tweedriverjockeyclub.com.au and book the Easter raceday.

Country Championships beckon for Tweed players

By Jo Kennett

Isabelle Tate (left) won the most medals at the event

Cudgen's Oliver Sharpe

Cudgen SLSC storm to second in state

By Jo Kennett

WARILLA BARRACK-Point SLSC has managed to snatch the title from Cudgen Headland SLSC for the second year running at the Surf Life Saving NSW 2024 Oakberry Acai NSW Country Championship held at Warilla Barrack Point from January 26 to January 28.

Cudgen had been hoping to get revenge after a win from Warilla (near Wollongong) in 2023 thwarted the club’s attempts to take their sixth back-to-back title, but it was not to be, with Warilla having around 35 members more than Cudgen, with 98 members competing.

From the first day, which saw juniors competing, the host club and Cudgen were neck and neck at the top of the overall point score.

Cudgen’s Oliver Sharpe and Isabelle Tate were in the most events

(27) of all competitors, with Isabelle topping the medal count on 22, while Oliver, Poppy Burdekin and Kloe Mills won 16 medals each.

Niamh Sharpe had the most wins (10) with Isabelle on nine and Oliver had seven.

Despite that amazing effort, Warilla managed to stay in front, winning 200 individual medals with Cudgen desperately trying to chase them down.

Warilla-Barrack Point SLSC on 1,396 points and Cudgen Headland SLSC on 1,244 finished well ahead of the competition with third place getter Yamba SLSC on 378 points.

According to SLSNSW, the championship is the fourth biggest event of its kind in the world and a “breeding ground for regional athletes to rise and last weekend saw impressive performances by both individuals and teams.

Cudgen will compete in the state championships at Freshwater from March 1, before heading to the Sunshine Coast for the Aussie titles.

It’s great to see so many young people working so hard not just to win competitions but to give up their time to protect beachgoers and potentially save lives.

Commiserations to former Cudgen star Lily O’Sullivan whose NutriGrain Ironwoman Series 23/24 came to an early end after she tore the plantar plate on the bottom of her foot, landing her in a moon boot. The injury comes after Lily got amazing results at the 2024 Shaw and Partners Summer of Surf in Manly. Lily came fourth in the Iron Woman event, third with Burleigh Mowbray sLSC in the Open Female Taplin (team Iron Woman event) and second in the Mixed Taplin, a huge achievement.

11 TWEED Shire NRRRL players have been selected to play in the Northern Rivers Titans Open Men’s Squad for 2024 in the 2024 NSWRL Mens Country Championships.

From Bilambil Jets, who were looking like taking out the NRRRL title last year, Jacob Hind, Harry Fitzhugh and Kalani Hensby have been selected.

Two players from the team who snuck up and stole the premiership at the last moment, Cudgen’s Corey Kirkham and Harvey Moase, have been selected.

Daniel ‘Rocket’ Ross and Dan Willoughby have been chosen from the Tweed Coast Raiders.

Murwillumbah has four players in the squad; Aaron Booth, Kade Hill, Adam Walker and Wade Ayres.

Congratulations boys on all your hard work to earn a spot representing God’s Own Shire, that would be the mighty Tweed. Have fun and show ‘em who the boss squad is.

Vale Jamie Steen

The competition includes some former top league players, like former NSW Blues and Australia Kangaroos player Blake Ferguson, former NSW Blues and Australia Kangaroos player Blake Ferguson, as well as Will Smith and Peter Mata’utia, all playing for the Newcastle Rebels in their bid to go back to back. There have been no changes in the Rebels side from last year’s champions. Sounds like cheating almost really but don’t let that worry you boys. They are old and probably tired and no doubt due for a good shellacking.

Ten teams will compete in the NSWRL major competition from early March.

The Titans take on the Northern Rivers Bulldogs in Round 1 at Port Macquarie on March 2, with most games run over that weekend.

The play-offs are on the following weekend, March 9.

The top four teams at the end of the weekend go straight into the semi-finals on March 16 and the grand final is held the following weekend, March 23, so save the date boys!

FINALLY it was a very sad farewell to former Tweed Coast Raiders trainer, coach, Hillbilly and all round bloody beautiful bloke, Jamie Steen on Friday, January 12.

The memorial began with a huge procession of cars and motorbikes from Jamie’s Pottsville home, to Melaleuca Station via one of his favourite hangouts, Hastings Point headland, where he spent many an arvo chatting to his mates.

It was a big funeral, a testimony to how loved Jamie was, with hundreds of devastated friends and family overflowing out of Melaleuca.

He loved music, a chat and a beer, Celtic FC, the Raiders, and above all, his family.

Jamie had time for everyone and was truly one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. The hill won’t be the same without him. Love and thoughts to Jacqui, Brayden, Chantel, Mel, Jude and family.

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Record $26.8M for vacant land Hot property

By Jo Kennett

The development site at Salt Village

“Bob had plans to develop it but things changed and he decided to sell.

“The property sold for $24 million plus GST so it was $26.8 million.

“It’s a record sale for the area and an amazing outcome.”

Nick said the site was bought by a group called PODIA, who have a number of apartment developments including The Bonobo by Raes in Byron Bay, a luxury new residential development on the southern end of Johnson Street.

“They are out of Sydney and plan to develop the site, subject to council approval, over the next few years to

houses, apartments and some retail and commercial,” Nick told The Weekly.

“We are really excited about the sale and looking forward to future work with them selling apartments.

“We are continuing to welcome interest from developers and people from interstate and overseas.

“We are getting about ten percent locals moving around, 50 per cent of interest from interstate including the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne and 40 per cent is from expats moving back to Australia.”

A BLOCK of development land at Salt Village (pictured below) has sold for $24 million plus GST, a record for the area and a sign that Kingscliff is still the place to be and attracting plenty of interest.

The 1.59 hectare development site at 4-8 Bells Boulevard, Kingscliff, is next to Mantra and Peppers Resorts in Salt Village precinct and a stone’s throw from the beach and one of the last vacant beachside blocks on the coast.

The site is currently zoned part R1 General Residential (11,450 m2 ) and part SP3 Tourism (4,454 m2 ).

This zoning allows a wide range of residential, tourism and tourism support uses. The maximum building height limit is 13.6 metres.

The site was sold in December

by Head of Witheriff Group at LJH Kingscliff, Nick Witheriff and settled in January.

“The property was sold by a gentleman from Queensland named Bob Ell who runs Leda Holdings (Leda are the developers of Kings Forest and Cobaki Lakes),” Nick said.

“He paid $23.5 plus GST for it in July 2022.
