Centrelink queues swell amid job losses

By Jonathon Howard HUNDREDS OF Tweed Shire residents have stood in queues for hours at the Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads Centrelink offices desperate to register for payments as many face layoffs and business closures this week.

The stories are devastating with one local woman enduring the drought on her family farm, which forced her back into the retail sector, only to lose her job to the coronavirus crisis.

“It was an online retail outlet I was working for,” she told The Weekly while in line at Centrelink.

“Because they were unable to get any stock from China, they had to let me go.

“They should be able to take me back once it’s all over, but nobody knows how long that will be.”

While the Federal Government has promised a range of individual support and business stimulus, many residents have unanswered questions and are unable to access the MyGov website, which has crashed due to exceeding its user limits.

All those queuing confirmed they were unable to use the website and “might as well stay in queue”.

The Weekly visited the Murwillumbah Centrelink office and spoke to several residents, many of whom had been

Residents lined up for hours outside Murwillumbah’s Centrelink office

laid off from hospitality and retail employment.

“We’ve been moving a few metres per hour,” one man standing in line, who preferred not to be named, said.

Another local woman said she had lost her job in retail after four and a half years.

“I was laid off yesterday,” she said.

“I was told I could come back once this is over, but no one knows how long that could be.”

Several residents queuing at Centrelink said they were concerned by the lack of social distancing.

“We’ve all been standing right next to each other,” one resident said.

“We’re supposed to be 1.5 metres apart, but it’s just not happening.”

Several local businesses are assisting out of work locals including the Tweed Valley IGA. IGA owners Brett and Leanne Bugg have put on three extra staff to cope with restocking, but they’ve been taking dozens of calls and enquiries for work.

“We have had so many calls from job seekers,” Mr Bugg said.

“It’s such a tough time and we’re trying to put extra staff on, but we’re also offering our current staff extra hours.”

Mr Provest said between 55,000 and 75,000 cars pass through the Tweed Shire’s 16 access points into Queensland from NSW every day.

“How is the Queensland Premier proposing to achieve this closure it’s unworkable,” he said.

“The majority of Queensland coronavirus cases are in Northern Queensland, it would make more sense to restrict transport within Queensland than closing the border,” he said.

Mr Provest also pointed out that 27 per cent of patients at The Tweed Hospital are from Queensland.

He was, however, quick to point out that NSW and Queensland will continue to have a strong relationship at the border, but he’s concerned the Queensland Premier has jumped without a clear plan.

“No one believes this is a good idea,” he said.

“We should be all following the advice from the Prime Minister and ensuring we’re taking care of each other as we isolate.”

“That applies to Queensland as well.

“People in the south-east should not travel to other parts of the state.

“Do not go on holidays. Do not travel unless absolutely necessary.”

Mr Provest said it would be “nearly impossible” to achieve without creating traffic chaos or more anxiety for Tweed residents.

Mr Provest said NSW border remains open to Queenslanders entering the state.

Mr Provest said it was “terribly irresponsible” of the Queensland Premier to announce the border closure via Twitter, which he said sent media and bordering communities into chaos.

“A single Tweet, with no information, no details or contact with anyone beforehand is how she did this,” he said.

Mr Provest said the NSW Government and his electorate, which borders with Coolangatta, will not provide resources to assist the Queensland Premier’s decision.

“They’re doing this, not us,” he said.

“I do not believe it will work; we have 16 different access points into Queensland – what’s the premier going to do put barbed wire up along the border.

“A lot of specialists, tradies, (NSW) residents working in Queensland – it’s a logistical nightmare.”

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has slammed Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s decision to close the Queensland border describing her announcement via social media as “irresponsible”.

The border control measures are now in place and include border road closures with RBT-style police checks on vehicles using major highways.

Travellers arriving at Queensland airports will be met by police and other officers and will be required to self-isolate for 14 days. Queensland residents will not be required to self-isolate but will be advised to practise social distancing.

Rail services have also been terminated.

Penalties for beaching the order include fines of up to $13,345.

Queensland Police are reportedly developing methods to identify vehicles who make frequent essential border crossings easier such as a permits.

Exemptions to the border closure will include freight, emergency vehicles, emergency workers, those travelling to and from work, court orders including family court, compassionate grounds and medical treatment.

“People should stay in their own states and in their own suburbs,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

Thanks for saving our Jewel of the Tweed

It was with a collective sigh of relief that the residents of Crystal Creek were informed last week that an inappropriate overdevelopment proposed for Crooks Valley Road had been rejected by Tweed Shire Council.

This was a victory for a strong and united rural community who have joined together as one to voice their concerns and stand up to protect the environment, animals and amenity of this beautiful and peaceful valley.

In addition to the many people who took the time to voice their objections, I would like to compliment the officers and councillors who at all times acted with diligence and thoroughness in their assessment of the development application before coming to their decision. It has been wonderful to observe democracy in action and a council who have shown a deep and genuine concern for the rights of its residents The slogan of Crystal Creek is “The Jewel of the Tweed.” The Crystal Creek Action Group will continue to fight to keep it this way.

Michael Tunaley, Crystal Creek Action Group

Development refusal welcomed

In these times of uncertainty and deep concern, it is with great relief that the residents of Crystal Creek have one less thing to worry about.

Our valley is a quiet, tranquil place in a natural setting. The impact of the proposed development by the Heart of Love Foundation was deeply unsettling and a threat to the chosen lifestyles of the residents.

As an immediate neighbor to the development site, I would have been profoundly affected.

Tweed Shire Council’s refusal of the Development Application at 102 Crooks Valley Road has been welcomed by the over 230 members of the Crystal Creek Action Group.

seems to be only a council matter not a police matter.

Owning a dog like Alexander is like having a fur child and when they are suddenly taken from you under horrendous circumstances you are left to grieve and overcome the stress of witnessing this horrific event.

This is not something that you just get over. The only answer is for these people who owned these dogs to come forward and take responsibility for their actions.

Silvana Black, Cabarita Beach

I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the staff of Tweed Shire Council, who were extremely professional in the way they assessed the application, dealt with the many stakeholders and came to this decision. I would also like to thank the councilors who listened to our concerns and aimed to get a balanced view of the situation.

While many residents spent a great deal of time, money and energy on the fight, it brought us closer together as a community and reinforced how lucky we are to live in this very special part of the world.

Belinda Chaplin, Crystal Creek

A balanced perspective

Who’s talking about a climate crisis now? Many events over time expose human arrogance. In 2009, the Lancet medical journal predicted that climate change would be this century’s biggest health threat. In 1909, who could have predicted two world wars, the Spanish flu pandemic, the holocaust, atomic bomb, HIV/AIDS and the epidemic of obesity and diabetes? The SARS outbreak in November 2002 didn’t dent the Lancet’s hubris, nor did this COVID-19 pandemic prevent its editor just last week predicting an imminent climate migration.

Who would have thought a tiny virus would do far more than all our political grandstanding, carbon pricing and alternative energy solutions in reducing emissions, by crashing the global economy, shutting down business and grounding aircraft and cruise ships. Humans are smart enough to differentiate a real existential crisis from an imaginary and divisive one.

Let’s hope the coronavirus gives us a more balanced perspective and brings us together in humility.

Loanne Arnell, Kingscliff

No justice for Alexander

First of all my heartfelt condolences to Annette and Rob whom I both know personally, the loss of little Alexander leaves me with no words, just such a devastating event.

Being a dog owner all my life I am appalled that a harmless beautiful toy poodle can be attacked so savagely and murdered in front of his owner at a local cafe and there is no justice.

The owners of the out of control dog which attacked Alexander were so heartless they just left the scene of the crime showing no remorse. What is our human race turning into?

I have been a ratepayer and resident here at Cabarita Beach for 16 years and have always owned toy poodles.

At times I have had to rush off the dog beach in fear of larger dogs running out of control with their owners obviously not being responsible for their dogs’ actions.

I do not feel safe at all on the beach or even in a public park.

Next week I pick up my new poodle pup and already I am concerned whether I will be safe in and around my local community.

This leaves me with the question of tougher dog laws? It’s impossible to monitor people with aggressive dogs, I get that, but surely someone saw these people at some point and it’s

We’ve gone to the dogs

What’s happening to Australia?

CONGRATULATIONS

supermarkets and Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton threatening to send out his ‘black shirts’ to arrest shopping hoarders and profiteers – Australia has become a dog eat dog place.

“Un-Australian” says our PM, which conjures up the great Australian cultural idiom of mateship, embodying equality, loyalty and friendship.

Trouble is, Australia in 2020 has become a very different place than it was during the two World Wars and depression years where the spirit of mateship was born.

During these times it was a given that when someone was in trouble you helped them. So what has gone wrong? The fundamental problem is that our political two-party system of government has been lying to us for decades. Treating us to neverending fear and pork-barrelling campaigns that have taught us to fear everything from boat people, Muslims, unions, to immigration – and the list goes on.

Just look at the last federal election where our lecturing PM and his Liberal and National Party mates engaged in a massive taxpayer funded sports rorts scandal designed to coherence voters in targeted electorates.

And who can forget John Howard’s 2001 hideous baby overboard fear and propaganda campaign for another go at power, the so-called Tampa crisis.

Now there is an actual real crisis so close to home that my local library is closed, the government is telling us not to be afraid, but to stay at home and socially distance ourselves.

But deep down fear gnaws away. And almost no one trusts governments or neighbours any more.

People feel isolated and it seems that faceless people continue to steal our country bit by bit and our way of life from underneath us, and we have no control over this.

The price of decades of fear mongering becomes a cocktail of panic and self-interest for far too many ‘look after number one’ and ‘we’re on our own’ syndrome has now become our national psyche.

We have become a nation divided and fearful without any real leadership and sadly that once fine independent spirit of Australian mateship that made this the best country in the world is dead and buried.

Terry Sharples, Tweed Heads

Defending this island nation

I am astounded that the government hasn’t been more proactive in defending this island nation from the coronavirus ever getting in!

All passengers arriving from overseas should have undergone temperature scanning weeks ago.

It’s so easy at that point with all arrivals being channelled through customs and security, as we saw in other countries. Why wasn’t this practice initiated then? Why wasn’t the screening of everybody coming through done then?

Only the other day, a contact of ours arrived home from South Africa, not sure if it was Gold Coast or Brisbane airports and was asked if he had a fever? Asked! Is that Australia’s defence protocol? How irresponsible is that? What sort of leadership is that? Now look how far it has infiltrated the country.

Serena Dolinska, Upper Burringbar

Social services distancing?

UK bans groups of more than two, we close Bondi Beach, we close pubs, restaurants, places of worship and gyms but allow queues at Centrelink.

Councillors debate rates freeze for pensioners and waiver on tip levy for tradespeople,” the motion reads.

The motion also urgently seeks federal and state grant opportunities to assist with local economic and infrastructure stimulus.

Cr Polglase said he was working with Cr Byrnes on both motions, but he believes an immediate freeze on all rates and charges is needed.

A freeze on rates and charges would cost around $1.6 million for rates alone.

“Council needs to freeze all rates and charges for the 2020 and 2021 budget,” he said.

“The reason for this is because Council cannot give stimulus packages like state and federal governments, but Council has the power to freeze rates and charges for the year.”

Cr Polglase said he was in the same boat as many small business owners who are facing a challenging time and has been forced to lay off vital staff members.

“We are in uncharted waters and we need to offer ratepayers any assistance necessary,” he said.

Mr Polglase said Council has a reserve fund as a contingency which totals $14 million.

“We can access those funds under circumstances such as these,” he said.

“Council can always reassess the rate peg and apply for a small increase once the crisis is over.”

Cr Pryce Allsop said his thoughts and prayers go out to the many businesses and individuals already affected by COVID-19, but he was reluctant to back a rate freeze.

“My greatest wish is that we do not see the human tragedy locally, like we have seen in Italy,” he said.

“COVID-19 will undoubtedly leave our world a little different to what it

was before and with every challenge and adversity we currently face, we also have the opportunity to rise and be better.”

Cr Allsop commended Cr Byrnes and Cr Polglase for their respective motions.

“We all have a role to play in ensuring our social fabric and businesses thrive through this pandemic so that local jobs and the local economy can rebound,” he said.

“However, any measures put in place

by Council must be targeted to those most in need.

“This is not a free for all bonanza.

There will clearly be businesses and individuals who will need Council’s support. I am not convinced that a rate freeze would achieve that.

“However, I am very open to considering rate deferments without penalty for those who have genuine needs and also support targeted assistance such as rebates for outdoor dining, particularly given that the Commonwealth has now banned dining for restaurants.

“To this end I support a report being presented to councillors which covers a range of options where we could support those directly affected by the pandemic and can substantiate the impact.”

Cr Cooper said he was reluctant to support a rates freeze.

“Freezing the rates will deliver less than a cup of coffee per week,” he said.

“Freezing water and garbage charges starts a slide in health prevention and water security.

“I don’t see any reference in Cr Byrnes’ motion for a cut in councillors’ wages.”

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED Shire Councillors are calling for a rate and charges freeze during the coronavirus crisis as councillors grapple with the best ways to assist the shire’s most struggling residents.

Both Cr Reece Byrnes and Cr Warren Polglase have raised motions outlining their respective plans.

Cr Byrnes’ motion urgently requests a plan for a local economic stimulus package in the wake of coronavirus.

Cr Byrnes said Council needed a plan and one that will ease the pressure on ratepayers, businesses and residents.

“As a Council and as a community, we need a plan in place that will take the pressure off ratepayers, local residents and businesses who may be impacted by coronavirus,” he said.

“The bottom line is, we need to look at all available options and make an informed assessment on what will assist residents and what will stimulate our local economy in the months ahead.

“It is imperative throughout this crisis, local families and seniors can afford to put bread on their table in the months ahead.”

Cr Byrnes’ motion requests that Council explores all options to assist ratepayers, residents and businesses who have been adversely impacted by COVID-19 (coronavirus) and brings forward a report, with the greatest urgency, exploring all options for a stimulus plan.

“The report must include the following options, but not limited to: rate assistance including rate freezing, rate reductions and hardship provisions, general economic stimulus, local business support, rebates/reductions

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Thousands unemployed as Tweed goes into lockdown It is more important than ever in this testing time to ensure we have written a will, so that the estate we have gathered in our lifetime passes on to the ones we want to receive it.

You should get a lawyer to draw it up, but many people fill out Do It Yourself wills. They are cheap and usually accepted as a legal document.

“DIY wills can work for those whose family and estate are relatively simple,” says Joshua Crowther, wills and estates specialist at Stacks Law Firm. But there are pitfalls and traps people should be aware of.

“If all you want to do is pass on your estate to your spouse, split it equally among your children and you don’t have ex-spouses, de factos, carers, or children from a previous relationship – then a DIY will may suit your purpose. Don’t forget to appoint an executor and follow the execution rules.

“But if you have children from a former spouse, other dependents, complex property holdings or assets such as super, shares, investments, trusts, debts or business partnerships, then it would be wise to get expert legal advice to draw up a will, to reduce any chance of it being challenged. Such challenges are happening more and more.

“You may wish to set up a testamentary trust in your will to protect assets for young children and minimise tax, and that needs expert advice. Also, you’ll need expert advice if you want to ensure your children inherit if your spouse survives you and remarries.

Often DIY wills fail to consider investments and intellectual property. Superannuation is another thing that is often forgotten. Super (often with healthy death benefits attached) does not necessarily pass under your will. You need specialised legal advice to ensure your super passes where you want it to go.

There are two grounds to challenge a will.

Its validity; was it drawn up legally, without undue influence or duress, was there a lack of testamentary capacity, was there fraud or pressure, was it properly signed and witnessed? A will can be revoked if you marry.

Its fairness; does it provide adequately for a dependent, child or spouse? Is it ambiguous? Can a partner prove they were de facto? What about someone you have been supporting – will that continue?

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot (inset) says the government urgently needs to increase Centrelink’s resourcing to assist the thousands of newly unemployed

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot said: “There was no cyber-attack, there was an incompetence attack”.

“This is now incredibly urgent,” she told The Weekly.

“This government knew this was coming and they should have been better prepared.

“It should have been working weeks ago to ramp up Centrelink resourcing and boost the capacity of its website.”

Mrs Elliot said the government had been talking for weeks but had not made adequate preparations for the unfolding crisis.

“It was possible to foresee this and put measures in place. It’s unfortunate that this did not happen,” she said.

“We have to fully fund and fully staff the support services that support others.

They are essential for our communities. I urge the government to urgently address the Centrelink and MyGov issue.

“I encourage any members of the community who need help to please call my office on (07) 5523 4371 or email me at justine.elliot.mp@aph.gov.au “Our priority is to help locals who urgently require assistance and support.

“For information and support for local businesses, go to: www.business.gov.au “Businesses impacted by Coronavirus can also phone the business hotline on 13 28 46.

NEED UNWANTED FURNITURE GONE?

About 45 per cent of Australians don’t have a valid will.

“For those without a will, their property and assets will be distributed to a legislated formula – spouses, children, dependents first. But if your only living relatives are more distant than cousins, your estate will pass to the government,” said Mr Crowther.

The Perils of DIY Wills

By Jo Kennett THE TWEED Shire has followed the rest of Australia by entering a state of lockdown with thousands of people suddenly unemployed – many for the first time in their lives.

The MyGov website froze as the lockdown went into action at midday on Monday, March 23, as state leaders took matters into their own hands in the face of the growing number of coronavirus cases.

Federal Minister for Government Services, Stuart Robert, incorrectly said the MyGov website crash was caused by a cyber-attack. He later said the average number of people trying to get on the MyGov website had jumped from 6,000 to 95,000, in a system designed for 55,000 maximum.

All clubs, including some of the biggest employers in the shire such as Twin Towns shut their doors indefinitely on March 23 following the announcement by the Prime Minister that clubs and other hospitality venues are to close “as a result of the elevated social gathering restrictions implemented on 22 March.”

All registered and licensed pubs, clubs, casinos and nightclubs cinemas and entertainment venues, gyms and indoor sporting venues are closed.

Religious venues are closed and restaurants and cafes are closed except for delivery and takeaway.

At the last Census in 2016, the Tweed Shire had 3,681 people employed in the accommodation and food service sector.

That number will have increased with population growth and new businesses opening, and many employees in these sectors that haven’t already been laid off are expected to lose their jobs as tourism and hospitality businesses temporarily grind to a halt.

Over 4,000 people were employed in retail and many of those jobs will go as well, temporarily at least, as the government moves to shut down nonessential retail stores.

One bowling club employee was in disbelief that with two children still at home, she had suddenly become unemployed.

“I don’t even know how I will be able to pay the rent,” she told The Weekly.

Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre (PBNC) Manager Angela Maxwell said the centre was “getting slammed” at the moment with extraordinary demand on their Centrelink Agency and other areas of support.

Tweed Shire Council wishes to recognise the generations of the local Aboriginal people of the Bundjalung Nation who have lived in and derived their physical and spiritual needs from the forests, rivers, lakes and streams of this beautiful valley over many thousands of years as the traditional owners and custodians of these lands.

The Fun Activities for Banora Seniors (FABS) program has been suspended at Banora Point Community Centre, which has now closed.

Seniors programs off, centres closed Last Friday, the Fun Activities for Banora Seniors (FABS) was suspended for at least two weeks and another grant-funded seniors program postponed, as a precautionary step in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency.

The decision to suspend the FABS program will be reviewed on a week-by-week basis but is likely to be extended.

Since then, a decision has been made to close the following community centres: Banora Point, Tweed Heads South, Kingscliff Community Hall, Tweed Heads auditorium and the South Sea Islander Room. The Murwillumbah Auditorium and Canvas & Kettle are already closed due to construction works.

The programs funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) for seniors have been postponed. Participants in any program which had started

have been advised and other planned programs will not proceed at this stage.

The programs include: Shop Don’t Drop, Stand Together, MisterChef, Dementia Music Therapy, Art and Dementia Friends, Stretch Your Mind, Mature and Determined and Cultural Connection – Tweed Regional Museum.

Many participants in the FABS and CHSP program are in the vulnerable age bracket. Suspending these programs is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting FABS participants, visitors, staff and volunteers.

The health and safety of the FABS and CHSP program participants was of the utmost concern and top priority and Council is proactively taking measures to protect its customers and staff.

For more information call Council on (02) 6670 2400 or visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/coronavirus

Council gallery, museum and library facilities close As a precaution to slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), Council closed its cultural facilities to the public on Tuesday 17 March. This included libraries, gallery and museum facilities.

The facilities will be closed for two weeks initially, with the closure reviewed on a week-by-week basis after that. All associated events and public programs during this period have been cancelled or postponed.

The closures affect: • Richmond-Tweed Regional Library branches at Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah • Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre and Gallery DownTown in Murwillumbah • Tweed Regional Museum at Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Uki. Council’s Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson said Council had a duty of care to its cultural facility patrons and the community.

“We made this decision because we have a relatively high proportion

of our population over the age of 60 and many of these residents who are more likely to be vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 use our facilities as patrons and volunteers,” Ms Stinson said.

“There are 6000 visits to our library branches a week and 600 per day visit the Tweed Heads library alone.

“Add to that the 2500 people who visit the Tweed Regional Gallery weekly and you have a large group of people coming together – many of whom are in the vulnerable age bracket.

She stressed that no staff members at any of the affected facilities had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

“Closing these facilities are a precautionary measure aimed at protecting staff and slowing the spread of the virus within the community,” she said.

Staff will continue to work at the facilities during the closures on behind-the scenes projects.

All library patrons are also advised that there will be a waiver on any library books due for return during the closedown period.

Swimming facilities closed Council’s Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres (TRAC) closed to the public from Friday 20 March.

The closure is for at least two weeks but given the escalating situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), the centres are likely to be closed for a longer period. The situation will be reassessed on a weekby-week basis.

The closure affects the TRAC facilities at Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Tweed Heads South.

The café at TRAC Murwillumbah will remain open to the public for now for takeaways only but this will be under review.

The closure is a precautionary measure, in line with the proactive approach Council is taking to protect staff and the community from unnecessary risks in the face of COVID-19.

Council has earlier closed cultural facilities because of the high proportion of older people living in the Tweed who attend the Tweed’s libraries, galleries and museums.

Director Sustainability and Communities Tracey Stinson said while the numbers at the swimming facilities are not as high and not likely to be in as closer proximity to each other, Council felt it was time to take this precautionary step to protect those attending and staff.

“It was also in our minds that a lot of older and more vulnerable people use the hydrotherapy pool at Murwillumbah so it made sense to close rather than wait,” Ms Stinson said.

Learn to swim patrons will be offered credits or refunds if they prefer. Please email us at trac.tweed.nsw.gov.au to arrange this rather than attending in person.

All existing memberships will be suspended for the closure period so patrons are not disadvantaged.

There will be no permanent staff losses in association with this closure with all employees to be accommodated in performing maintenance and program development tasks at the aquatic centres or temporarily redeployed to support alternate Council functions. If staff are interested in taking leave, this will also be accommodated.

For more information visit trac.tweed.nsw.gov.au, call (02) 6670 2750 or follow TRAC on Facebook.

Advice for events and public gatherings Advice is changing daily in regards to the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on events and public gatherings across Australia. Here in Tweed we are also impacted, from weddings and conferences to community events and Council meetings. There is a lot for event organisers, business owners and the public to consider. Anzac Day events have been cancelled.

Council has cancelled or postponed a range of Council hosted events over the next month including community engagement activities, citizenship ceremonies, school or community group tours or any public event where Council has invited members of the public to attend. We will reconsider official advice as it is updated.

For events and public gatherings, at the time of printing, a Public Health (COVID-19 Mass Gatherings) Order is in place from 5pm Wednesday 18 March until midnight 16 June 2020. Current government advice includes: • a ban on any public event or gathering of more than 500 people • a ban on non-essential gatherings of 100 or more people indoors • additional restrictions are in place for entertainment venues such as cafes, restaurants and pubs which may see further limitations for patrons of indoor venues depending on their size/floor space.

For more information see preview.nsw.gov.au/covid-19 A public event means a trade, cultural, social or sporting event that is open to the public (including when entry into the event requires the payment of a fee or other charge).

THE TWEED Shire construction industry employs more than 4,000 workers according to the last Census and for them the news is looking brighter, with no scheduled shutdown of the industry and production of supplies resuming in China – despite concerns the virus may break out there again.

Local tradies are reporting a high demand for their services although some expect to wind back as financial hardship hits home and businesses.

The Weekly spoke to a local tiler who said he was “flat out” with work.

Hastings Point painting contractor John Flanagan also said he still had plenty of work.

“There is just two of us working so we can keep a distance and most of our work is repainting,” Mr Flanagan said.

“So far getting materials hasn’t been a problem as Dulux Paint is made in Brisbane and Sydney and I believe production is still going.

“That could change though if someone gets it in a factory, they will have to shut it down.

“They are saying to keep it local and we are.”

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said in a letter addressed to the construction industry that the government was determined to continue to deliver the NSW infrastructure pipeline during this COVID-19 event.

Mr Perrot said: “With many sectors now facing unprecedented challenges, our record infrastructure pipeline will continue to sustain tens of thousands of jobs over the coming months.”

“It will also continue to have critical downstream economic benefits, driving demand for materials and equipment from local and national manufacturers, and for goods and services in supporting sectors,” he said.

“We recognise the sector will face its own operational challenges, and Infrastructure

In good news Mr Perrot said there were “encouraging signs” of production resuming in China and other countries hit in the early stages of the pandemic, however some disruptions are to be expected.

“In cases where the delivery of projects are affected by these and other matters relating to COVID-19, the NSW Government will ensure all agencies work collaboratively with contractors where issues arise to keep projects on schedule to the greatest extent possible,” he said.

“I encourage all contractors to speak with their client agencies as soon as they become aware of any potential issues so we can keep NSW’s critical infrastructure program moving ahead.”

Crime spree across Pottsville Tweed Police remain out in force

By Jo Kennett TWEED POLICE are investigating the theft of a vehicle from Pottsville early on Thursday, March 19, following a spate of vandalism across the community.

The vehicle was fortunately recovered later that day and during the same night cars were broken into around Pottsville, a number of vehicles were tagged with paint and the local primary school was also sprayed with graffiti.

The vehicle was stolen from Royal Drive at around 3.30am and was later found on Tweed Coast Road.

Tweed Byron Police District Inspector Mick Dempsey said the vehicle was being forensically examined and investigations are continuing.

A car was broken into at Ballina Street around 3am and vehicles were also tagged with graffiti including three in Elanora Avenue.

Locals reported that vehicles in Urunga Drive at Seabreeze were also ransacked.

Pottsville Public School was another target, with several windows and a noticeboard sprayed with obscenities.

One Pottsville mother reported a scooter and skateboard belonging to her children had been stolen from their garage.

She told The Weekly that her young son had saved up half the money for the scooter.

A toolbox in a vehicle in Sassafras Street was ransacked although nothing was stolen.

Another resident told The Weekly his work truck and his wife’s car were tagged that night when they were parked out the front of his Sassafras Street house.

Local resident Greg Miller said that Ambrose Park was also covered in graffiti.

“I feel sorry for the parents that had to take their kids there and see the filthy stuff that they wrote,” Mr Miller said.

“The crime is getting worse and worse; it’s every three days or so now.

“There are four boys and one girl roaming Pottsville every couple of nights. They are aged between 12 and 15 and they come out, it could be 3am that they are doing places.

“My neighbour lives in Brisbane and comes home on the weekends and they sit around his pool and smoke bongs.

“They have been caught on CCTV but they say they have an hour until the police get there so they aren’t worried.”

Mr Miller said the youths were “quite aware” that the police had to come from Tweed.

“They were around the pool at 3am smoking and they woke my neighbour up and he confronted them and said, “we will get you” and that’s when one of them pulled out a knife,” he said.

“We called the police and we had a photo from the CCTV footage of them.

“My neighbour who confronted them took photos of them and that was reported to the police but nothing is happening.

“That was two weeks ago and they were out on Saturday night and then they were out on Wednesday night.”

Mr Miller alleged the same youths stole things from the Brisbane man’s house the week before.

“Fortunately he has alarms but they stole stuff out of his backyard and the same night they did Seabreeze, and they also stole the car,” he said.

“Someone posted about seeing that group of kids and the description was the same as the ones that come here to Elanora Avenue.

“I just saw on our community page that they were out again on the south end of Elanora Avenue and they were heard in people’s backyards.”

Mr Miller said that more vigilance was needed to combat the problem.

“We probably need a police station,” he said.

“I don’t really know but it’s getting out of hand and we need to do something to stop this. I just want to understand where their parents are.”

Mr Miller said he had spoken to Justine Elliot’s office and been advised it was a state matter and so he rang Geoff Provest’s office.

“I’m sending him an email to see what we can do about it,” he said.

“The crime is all the way through Pottsville, Casuarina, Tweed and it’s really significant.

“A 16 year old can pull a knife on you and if you did anything to them you would get charged but they can do that and they don’t get charged.

“I just want to keep our community safe.”

TWEED POLICE will continue their efforts to stamp out drink and drug drivers despite a suspension of random breath testing due to the coronavirus.

As reported last week, the State Government has suspended breath testing sites, but this has not prevented NSW Police monitoring road behaviour and continuing with mobile breath testing of drivers.

“Disappointingly we continue to see poor driver behaviour and poor choices being made regarding driving,” police said following a busy weekend of drink drivers.

In the Tweed Heads area, police nabbed one driver at 2am on Sunday, March 22.

Police said a 25-year-old male from Tweed Heads was driving on Minjungbal Drive when he was pulled over for a mobile breath test and returned a low-range reading of 0.078.

The man’s licence was suspended, and he was charged with low-range drink driving.

Police said there were several people detected drink driving over the weekend.

“Drivers should always have a Plan B,” police said.

“Remember if you are going to drink. Don’t drive.

“It is clear that some drivers believe the current coronavirus crisis means police will not be breath testing drivers.”

“Nothing could be further from the truth, as demonstrated with these offences.”

A look back at the last border closure

By Jonathon Howard NOT SINCE the Spanish flu outbreak in 1919 has the Queensland border closed to the Tweed Shire and NSW, with locals now coming to terms with the unfolding coronavirus crisis.

In 2019, Tweed Regional Museum curator Erika Taylor worked with the ABC on a story highlighting the issues faced during the Spanish flu border closure.

Ms Taylor highlighted the Spanish flu as having an enormous global impact, killing 50 million people worldwide and being the first time the border was closed to humans.

The devastation of the Spanish flu led to the decision to close the gate at the border, which caused chaos for both Coolangatta and Tweed Heads residents.

“They just shut it at 2pm on a day at the end of January (1919),” Ms Taylor told the ABC. “Of course, we all know Twin Towns is so close, the border is so fluid.

“People were literally stuck. [They] had gone out to see a friend, come back [and] the gate was shut, there [were] … police and they were not letting you through.”

In 1919, upset residents quickly called an indignation meeting at the border.

“They met on the footbridge and held a very angry meeting with the Quarantine

Department asking for people to go through for business purposes and to allow food and mail and goods over,” Ms Taylor said.

The Quarantine Department was determined to keep the flu out of Queensland, and only some concessions were made.

“The flu was so bad they said, ‘No. Nothing, absolutely no people’,” she said.

“You could pass some bread and food over and a bit of goods that could be traded.”

The ABC highlighted that an estimated 15,000 Australians died from the Spanish Flu. Across the country the National Museum of Australia said Australia had one of the world’s lowest death rates from the disease, with 2.7 deaths for every 1,000 people.

However, in some Aboriginal communities the mortality rate was as high as 50 per cent.

Ms Taylor said by May 23, 1919, the Spanish flu had made its way into Queensland, despite all efforts to block its movement at the border.

“By June you could pass the border with a certificate saying you didn’t have the flu, but only one police [was] stationed there, so I am not sure how … well it would have gone holding back hundreds of people trying to cross over,” Ms Taylor said.

The exact date of the border’s full reopening in 1919 is unknown.

Coronavirus cases hit 17

By Jonathon Howard A TOTAL of 17 cases of coronavirus have now been reported across the Northern NSW Local Health District between Tweed Heads and Grafton at the time of print (Wednesday, March 25) since the first two cases were reported on Monday, March 16.

The Public Health Unit is in the process of investigating the latest cases to track down their movements and determine the source of infection.

The confirmed cases to date are spread across the length of the Local Health District, from Clarence right up to the Tweed Valley, according to NNSWLHD Chief Executive Wayne Jones.

“We’d like to thank those who have been cooperating with our Public Health Officers to date, working with our staff and self-isolating correctly at home,” Mr Jones said.

“We can’t emphasise enough how important it is for all our community to heed the advice of authorities in efforts to slow the transmission of the virus.

“It’s critical to adhere to self-isolation guidelines if you’ve been instructed by health authorities or mandated to quarantine as a result of overseas travel.”

Mr Jones said the most important thing residents can do is to practise good hygiene including hand washing or sanitising, coughing/sneezing into a tissue which you then discard, staying at home if you’re sick and minimising close contact with others by following the social distancing measures.

“It’s also important to remember that locations where cases live, work or have visited don’t pose an ongoing risk to members of the public,” he said.

“If you are considered a close contact of a confirmed case, a Health Officer will contact you directly.”

COVID-19/flu clinics are located at The Tweed Hospital, Lismore Base Hospital and

Grafton Base Hospital, open from 10am to 6pm daily.

These clinics are for those most at risk with respiratory symptoms or fever, those returning from overseas or in contact with a COVID-19 case, or health workers.

The symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, headache, runny nose, or shortness of breath. Anyone with symptoms should isolate themselves from others. People without symptoms do not need to be tested.

Elective surgery cancelled

The NNSWLHD has postponed all nonurgent elective surgery in a bid to free up vital hospital beds for the expected increase in patient presentations.

Chief Executive Wayne Jones said after consultation with clinicians, the decision was made to postpone all non-urgent surgery from Wednesday, March 25.

“A key component of our planning is to ensure patients with the highest clinical urgency are prioritised, such as emergency and trauma patients and urgent surgery cases,” Mr Jones said.

“Our focus is on bringing forward urgent, and where clinically required, semi-urgent, elective surgery cases to reduce any possible surgical demand across the LHD. This will free up our other clinicians, nurses, support staff and sites to be available to respond to COVID-19 cases as needed.

“We will be contacting patients on waiting lists over the coming days to communicate any changes to their admission. While any disruption is regrettable, we trust the community will understand.

“This is an unprecedented situation, and we are continually monitoring demand and capacity of all health services across the NNSWLHD.” For advice and information about COVID-19 visit www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/ diseases/Pages/coronavirus.aspx

Sunshine Sugar leading the way the Tweed, tapping into the sugarcane plant stalk as a prime source of botanical water.

Sunshine Sugar has partnered with AquaBotanical to capture potable water from the condensed water vapour that is already created in the milling process.

In his most recent announcement, Sunshine Sugar’s CEO has shared details of a supply agreement with MediKane, for sugarcane fibre.

MediKane is an Australian, food-based medicine company specialising in plant-based solutions that address the management of blood sugar levels, and separately, gut health in post-operative patient rehabilitation.

This local industry is diversifying to address market changes and unlocking more and more of the naturally occurring properties within the remarkable sugarcane plant that grows so well here in the Tweed.

Some good news from our cane growers Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors

RECENT WEATHER has been kind to the district’s farmers with good pasture growth continuing, bananas looking good in particular, and cane crops and soybeans thriving in the warm, humid conditions.

A good, average cane crop is anticipated now that we have missed cyclones so far this year and a crop of 550,000 tonnes seems likely.

Each year, several new varieties of cane are released to NSW cane growers and the latest varieties are performing well in both tonnage and sugar content.

It takes several years for a new cane variety to be trialled before it is made available to all growers.

There are several pests and diseases that can affect the cane’s commercial viability and the best way to control these is by varietal resistance.

This is how diseases, including Fiji Leaf Gall and Smut, plus various rust conditions are kept at bay.

Good drainage of the floodplain is also essential to crop growth, and this applies to not only cane but also soybeans and other legumes, maize, nuts and pasture growth.

Maintaining water quality is a primary consideration of the NSW Sugar Industry, particularly in acid sulphate soil landscapes.

Much has been learnt about acid sulphate soils in the last 30 years and research continues in this area.

Until next month, stay calm and healthy.

Looking forward to more fine, warm weather.

Best wishes to all, Rob Hawken.

83763

SUNSHINE SUGAR Chief Executive Officer Mr Chris Connors is leading a strategic business shift that will see the iconic local industry function very differently over the next few years by extracting greater value from more parts of the sugarcane plant.

“The sugar industry may be one of the world’s oldest agricultural sectors, but it must respond to today’s market challenges including global volatility in sugar supply and price; consumer demand for more choice of food and beverage products; and a worldwide focus on health issues such as obesity and diabetes,” Mr Connors said.

His response to these challenges is through innovation and diversification. Last year, Sunshine Sugar’s Low GI Sugar, which is produced at Condong, was launched.

Bottled water is another initiative that Sunshine Sugar has up and running here in

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

By Jonathon Howard MEMBERS OF the Crystal Creek Action Group are celebrating a recent vote by Tweed Shire Councillors to deny a development application at 102 Crooks Valley Road.

The application was refused by delegation from Council officers after councillors were asked whether they wanted to put the motion to a vote and they said no.

News of the denied application came as relief from several locals who had expressed concern for “over-development” of the rural setting.

The development was proposed as a single stage and included construction of a range of facilities including a multi-purpose hall, hostel facility with a capacity of 40 occupants, construction of effluent disposal onsite, construction of new internal roads and car parking facilities and construction of a new rainwater harvesting “billabong”.

The application also called for a range of demolition works, construction of replacement carport, earthworks, tree removal, the use of an existing gazebo (50 square metre) and an ancillary bi-annual private function (not a general public event) for up to a maximum of 360 persons.

Crystal Creek local and spokesperson for the Crystal Creek Action Group Susi Thomas said she wanted to extend a huge “thank you” to the Tweed Shire Councillors, officers and staff.

“For the fantastic job they did in supporting the Crystal Creek Action Group and putting an end to what I believe was a destructive development that was proposed for the Crystal Creek area,” she said.

“This proposed development would have been another nail in the coffin of our fragile koala population and it had the risk of destroying the amazing and peaceful area created and protected by the landowners in Crooks Valley and beyond.”

Ms Thomas said for more than 20 years the locals of Crooks Valley have strived to create a haven for people and native animals alike.

Susi Thomas at Crooks Valley Road

“We have watched our native animals and especially koalas return to our properties and there was no way we were going to sit back and let outside developers destroy our incredible, natural environment,” she said.

“This is a win, not only for our Crystal Creek Action Group’s 200 plus members, but for the entire community.”

Ms Thomas said the denial of the application should serve as “encouragement to anyone who may feel overwhelmed by the process of objecting to developers’ applications”.

“If you know it is wrong, don’t just sit back and hope someone else will do it for you,” she said.

“Stand up and be counted and if you can’t stand up, do everything you can to support the people who are standing up for you.

“Our Tweed Shire Council did the right thing by the residents, ratepayers and our environment with this decision.

“I feel extremely privileged to have had the right to object and very proud to be part of this powerful community.

“Thanks to all the Crystal Creek Action Group members for your support and again thank you Tweed Shire Council for making the right decision.”

The Weekly approached Heart of Love for a comment but did not receive a response prior to the print deadline.

Mum goes public over coronavirus rumours

By Jo Kennett A KINGSCLIFF High School student’s mother has taken to social media over her positive coronavirus diagnosis to allay fears after rumours, many of them untrue, caused widespread concern amongst the school community.

The mother, who had not been travelling, said she found out someone she had been in contact with had the virus on Monday, March 16, and had immediately self-isolated with her children.

She was tested the next day, a test which came back positive, however her fiancé, two children and stepson all tested negative for the virus.

The woman said the only symptoms she had was a dull headache and she had also lost her sense of taste and smell just days before receiving the positive test result.

Her temperature, blood pressure and oxygen levels were all normal.

The mother, whose name has been withheld, said her family was continuing to self-isolate until she returned two negative test results.

“If my fiancé and kids didn’t catch it from me, you as a community can feel pretty safe I didn’t give it to you,” she said.

The woman praised Kingscliff High School staff for the work they had done to keep the school community safe as phones went into meltdown with calls from concerned parents.

“Kingscliff High School has been wonderful in doing exactly what they were instructed by the NSW Department of Health,” she said.

“They immediately contacted my children’s close friends, who were removed from class, and who (are) all self-isolated awaiting my kids’ test results.

“They put out a statement, knowing that kids would talk.

“They protected my kids and my identity, knowing that we were already under stress as a family unit and I really can’t thank the administration staff and teachers enough.”

The woman added that she, unlike the other four confirmed cases in the Northern NSW

Local Health District at the time of her diagnosis, had not been travelling recently.

“I was not experiencing any of the symptoms on the coronavirus checklist,” she said.

“I am 38 and in good health otherwise.

“I didn’t ask for it! But I did everything in my power to stop the spread.

“You guys stay well and be kind.”

The woman was widely praised on social media for taking the time to explain the situation and calm community concerns.

Kingscliff High School also put out a statement on Friday, March 20, saying they were aware of the concerns from community members.

“After testing conducted late this week, we are able to continue to confirm that, at this time, there are no students at Kingscliff High School who have tested positively to COVID-19,” the statement said.

“We are also able to confirm that, at this time, there is no member of staff at Kingscliff High School who has tested positively to COVID-19.

“Our school is committed to following Department of Education and Health NSW advice in order to support the wellbeing of our students and staff.

“We will continue to communicate with our school community throughout this unprecedented time of emergency in order to support the wellbeing and ongoing learning of our students.”

“We are committed to helping our local fire brigades,” she said.

“Once this is all over, we will be back with our regular Friday raffles from 6pm.”

Local firefighter Jack Swift said he was extremely grateful on behalf of the Rural Fire Service to receive the funds.

“This is such a boost to our local services,” he said.

“I’d like to thank the Courthouse Hotel for all its support.”

Mr Swift said the funds would be spent locally to improve communications equipment.

Councillors vote united to ban future water bottling

of changes to the planning laws,” Council’s report read.

“This extends to retaining permissibility of water bottling facilities on their land and acknowledging that any future development applications lodged over their land would be subject to merit assessment.”

Environmental impacts were noted as one of the primary reasons for the proposed ban amongst ongoing community concerns.

“Along with the view that water belongs to the environment and the community and should not be used for private profit, particularly in the face of increasing uncertainty about water supply and security and a changing climate,” the report reads.

Tweed Water Alliance member and spokesman Pat Miller said the decision was “extremely welcomed”.

“We welcome the unanimous decision of the Tweed Shire Councillors to remove water bottling as an allowable industry in our shire,” he said.

Tweed Water Alliance said it remains committed to halting water extraction for the purposes of bottling across the Tweed Shire.

“Water extraction for bottling needs to stop in its tracks,” Mr Miller said.

83777

By Jonathon Howard IN A rare sign of unity, Tweed Shire Councillors have carried a unanimous vote to ban future water bottling facilities during a Council meeting on Thursday, March 5.

The vote has drawn a range of praise from members of the Tweed Water Alliance, who have been campaigning for the move.

The vote means clause 7.15 will be removed from the Tweed Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2014 which permits water bottling facilities. Existing water extractors will able to continue their operations but new applications are banned.

Council’s report stated the move was to take a “precautionary approach in the face of uncertainty surrounding the long-term environmental impacts”.

The proposed ban attracted 343 submissions in support and five opposed after it was publicly exhibited from August 20, 2019, to September 17, 2019.

“The proposal also includes legal measures to protect existing and established water extraction and water bottling facility operators from undue economic hardship as a result

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals ADVERTORIAL

Council set to suppress the Rural Sector A Council majority will likely vote on the Rural Land Strategy (RLS) to prevent rural landholders using less than 1% of their property to build a second dwelling. The respective Councillor’s principal argument appears to be, that using 1% or less for a second dwelling would “significantly” obstruct the remaining 99% being used for prospective agricultural use. The relevant Councillors have provided no verifiable proof of this assertion.

The RLS must permit rural landholders to use less than 1% of their property for an additional reliable income, or to house an extended family or to help aged landholders to stay on their land. All 5 surrounding shires have something akin to this provision.

An RLS provision must be adopted which permits landholders to have second dwellings (with consent).

• Second Dwellings includes Dual Occupancy Attached or Detached or Secondary dwellings (Granny Flats) • Rural second dwelling may occupy no more than 1.0% of a Lot. • Rural Second dwellings may not be less than 60sq mtrs in size.

That Strategy provision should take effect 6 months after it is adopted UNLESS Council can provide (within that 6 month period), merit-based irrefutable evidence; • That the building of such dwellings would cause significant and irreversible harm to prospective agriculture on the remaining 99% of the property or • The provision would create such a significant burden on the Council’s infrastructure resources as to cause unreasonable harm to the Council’s operations.

With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, second dwellings would be a significant economic stimulus to the shire’s economy.

Rural second dwellings are ‘cost neutral’ to Council, they provide their own water and sewage so they do not use additional Council resources. Building second dwellings on lots in the rural zones would provide a dramatic economic boost to the shire’s economy, help reduce unemployment, provide rental income or vital housing for extended families or support for aging landholders and generally strengthen the rural social fabric. Would any competent Council want to restrict a responsible economic, employment, housing and socially beneficial plan at a time of a developing national recession?

Your Local

What’s new at the market How very fortunate are we to have an open air market and such deliciously fresh locally grown produce during this crazy unse�ling �me. It is such a dynamic �me with changes being announced daily in response to the risk factors associated with COVID-19.

We are in this together – market management, our stallholders and our customers and YOUR health remains our primary concern. That is why we have made more changes this week to how the market is structured and opera�ng procedures – quite significant changes – so when you come to the market know that during this �me there will be ongoing changes that we make to help keep us all as safe as possible.

Access to super fresh vibrant produce is more important than ever right now.

NEW SEASON macadamia nuts have arrived and it really is an achievement that Ian and Leone McRae have macas for us this year particularly after such a prolonged dry last year through vital months for flowering and fruiting.

The harvest potential is certainly less with lots of nuts lost but as experienced farmers they have some delicious new season nuts for us to enjoy now. How lucky are we?

Did you know Nudgel Nuts macadamias are grown in the picturesque fertile valley known as The Pocket in Billinudgel.

The property covers 200 acres and also runs beef cattle and a herd of elite alpacas – all contributing to Ian and Leone McRae’s farming style.

They place a high value on using an environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practice with minimal exposure to pesticides and other sprays.

Growing the tastiest macadamia nuts is tricky but Ian and Leone have perfected the process and we are lucky to have the best flavoured and freshest nuts here at our market.

New season avocados have arrived and we have both Fuertes and

Shepards. Do you have a favourite variety of avocado?

Fuertes grown by Jumping Red Ant are a very buttery avocado that is slightly larger than a Hass. It is the first for JRA and we will see more varieties on their stall as the season progresses.

The Shepard with its bright green skin and flesh is a buttery textured avocado with a nutty flavour. This avocado variety, that is growing in popularity, is one of a number of varieties grown by Narbey’s Best Avocados. It has an excellent flavour, medium oil content and does not turn brown when cut making it my all-time favourite avocado. The Shepard season will be short Doug Narbey has advised due largely to the drought last year – at a critical time in the development of the Shepard, so I love it to bits while it lasts.

And finally new season pears have arrived. The Buerre Bosc variety is the one that Costanzo Apples is picking right now. It originated in France in 1835 (‘buerre’ is the French term for butter, and is meant to symbolise the melting quality of the pear). They are a dessert pear with cinnamon brown skin. They have a white, juicy flesh, and a sophisticated and eloquent

flavour. This particular variety has a fairly firm texture at the stem end and this is the best indicator of ripeness because pears ripen from the inside; the softer they are, the riper they are.

The pears should ripen at room temperature within a few days but you can speed up the process by storing them in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana – just like an avocado really. Keep your apples in the fridge to maintain best flavour.

And Costanzo Apples has new season red delicious apples from this Wednesday.

COMING SOON Mid-April we expect to see the return of very popular Tweed River Pecans grown by David and Kaye Mc Naught and their daughter Jessie. And as April progresses we will see a bountiful increase in leafy greens straight from the paddock to you via the market.

Stay safe everyone.

Change is a constant in our lives right now; new season and super fresh produce to keep us healthy and viruses to avoid. It really is a time to adapt and thrive to the best of our ability. Sing to lift your spirits and look out for the welfare

Vietnamese Lotus

and safety of others. Please take care.

Dog attack leaves man traumatised “90 per cent of the dogs are off-leash north of Mooball Creek in what is an on-leash area” he said.

“The current off-leash area is just over the creek on the southern side.

“Dogs off-leash will often chase wildlife into the dunes and it’s close to Koala Beach which is protected for koalas and about another 20 threatened species, most of them birds like endangered little terns and oystercatchers.

“Some of those birds are ground nesting and they don’t stand a chance.”

The man said there are also possums and occasionally wallabies in the area and that when an animal like a wallaby is threatened by a dog “they panic and their whole system shuts down and that can kill them”.

“In another incident, the same dog approached me when I was swimming,” he said.

“I reported it to Council but all Council says is that they don’t have the resources to attend every incident.

“But if they can’t control the everyday situations how can they control dangerous dogs?

“In a recent Tweed Link, it was reported that dog attacks in January alone spiked from an average of eight per month to 22 incidents.

“In that month an elderly woman was attacked at a retirement village in Pottsville by a roaming dog in front of the village and she had to go to hospital.

“A young girl and her horse were also attacked on the beach at Cabarita.”

The resident says that since he moved to Pottsville three years ago he had only seen the ranger once.

“If Council doesn’t have the resources to police the leash free areas, then they need to reduce the number.

“I saw this in Suffolk Park over the last 30 years.

“It was friendly and we’d talk to the owners and their dogs and then there were more and more aggressive dogs.

“We thought Tweed Council was more responsible than Byron Shire and we thought if we moved somewhere with an on-leash beach it wouldn’t be a problem.

“More people need to come forward and act.”

Tweed Shire Council said that as a result of a report made to Council on January 8 this year regarding a dog attack, the incident was investigated by Council rangers where a penalty notice was issued to the responsible person in charge of the attacking dog.

“In addition, the owner subsequently surrendered the dog to Council and was euthanased,” a Council spokesperson said.

Council said they continue to promote responsible pet ownership and urges all pet owners to ensure they comply with all laws relating to owning a dog including the need to ensure they are secured by a lead any time they are in a public place.

For more information on responsible pet ownership please visit www.tweed. nsw.gov.au/Dogs

What businesses are open?

THE NSW Government has announced that the following businesses are considered essential services and will remain open aincluding supermarkets, banks, petrol stations, pharmacies, convenience stores, freight and logistics, food delivery and, to the relief of many stressed out residents, bottle shops.

Businesses, including major retailers and department stores such as Tweed City will remain open if they comply with the latest government social-distancing guidelines, however that is subject to change in the future as the virus progresses.

Cafes and restaurants will be closed to dine in, but many are able to offer takeaway menus and delivery services.

Accommodation places are currently allowed to stay open.

Bunnings, Mitre 10 and local independent hardware stores are currently open.

Food markets, such as Murwillumbah Farmers Markets which runs from 7am to 11am on Wednesday mornings, are considered an essential service and will continue to run as will the Pottsville Beach Markets who are open only to stalls selling food or food items. Kingscliff Beach Markets have been cancelled until the end of April.

Mayor calls for lockdown TWEED SHIRE Council Mayor Katie Milne has called for an immediate national lockdown of 14 days stressing the “longer we dawdle, the greater the pain”.

Mayor Milne’s comments were made prior to Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s announcement to roll out his lockdown plans, which have included closures of nonessential services as of Tuesday, March 24.

“We now need to take action because we cannot have the confidence as a group of leaders that the social distancing guidelines and rules that we have put in place won’t be followed to the level of compliance that we require to flatten the curve and slow the spread and save lives,” Morrison said.

“This should highlight to all Australians how serious this is and how hard we all have to work together to get this right.”

Mayor Milne said there were mixed opinions from the health experts on whether to lock down or not in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

“It appears the safest option is the best option,” she said.

“We are in the midst of a tourism mecca with an international airport with its potential super spreaders, a lot of elderly and vulnerable people in our shire and this region and hospital facilities that were already over stretched.”

WE ARE OPEN! During this unprecedented time, we are open usual business hours, however we are running the clinic by appointment only.

We ask you to: •

Please call the clinic to arrange an appointment.

•

Arrive on time.

•

Unless you require a carer/translator, please come alone.

•

If you are feeling unwell, please stay home.

Rest assured, the health and safety of our customers and staff is our highest priority.

Please be patient with us during this time.

By Jo Kennett A POTTSVILLE man says he is still traumatised from a dog attack in early January and he and other residents believe it’s time Tweed Shire Council started to enforce dog leash regulations.

On Tuesday, January 7, the man, who is aged in his 60s, was riding through a reserve which runs parallel to Elfran Avenue. The man said there is a property next to the reserve with two dogs which tend to be aggressive and the owners let the dogs out every day off-leash onto the reserve.

“I had spoken to them about it, but they did nothing to control their dogs,” he said.

The man said he reported the two dogs to Council and on the day in question there was a third dog with the other two which attacked him as he rode past.

“It grabbed me by the leg and bit me quite severely,” he said.

“The shock was tremendous; I can still feel the teeth and the impact on my bone.

“It’s still painful; it was an open wound on the shin and it went into the muscle and possibly the nerves and the doctor said the damage may be permanent.

“The wound presented with bacteria, and can become infected which can cause loss of limb or even death”.

The attack was reported to Council but the man said he is “still traumatised every day by having to deal with dogs off their leash”.

He and his partner walk daily from the beach on the north side of Pottsville to the creek in the on leash area.

Forty years of holidays at North Star

FILMS TO WATCH WHILE AT HOME As we are all in self-isolation and cinemas are closing down, it is really difficult to write about films that are coming soon or have just been released. So, what to do? Personally I am going to take the opportunity of this forced home holiday to watch again some classics.

I started the other day with THE REMAINS OF THE DAY, the 1993 James Ivory movie that I remembered fondly after seeing it the first time. I think many film lovers may remember it as well as it won many awards at the time – including eight Academy Award nominations - and involves incredibly great performances by two giants of the movie industry, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

The movie is based on the 1989 Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name by British author Kazuo Ishiguro and revolves around Mr. Stevens, a butler with a long record of service at Darlington Hall – a grand mansion near Oxford – in the 1920s and 1930s. Later on, in 1956, Stevens goes on a road trip to meet a former colleague, Ms. Kenton, and reminisces about events at Darlington Hall that they both witnessed. The film is wonderful from all points of view: the photography, the art direction, the performances, the music, but what affected me mostly on both first and second viewings is the way the film manages to portray the English concept of “understatement” and the sadness of two people in love wasting their lives just because they did not find the strength to voice their feelings.

But, after watching the film I had the uncanny realization that there are some parallels with today. Perhaps it is because the virus crisis is so pervasive in all aspects of our life, but I started to think that like in the movie - where Lord Darlington was hosting meetings between people in various positions of power to discuss the impending war - there are now many people who are thinking and discussing and trying to find solutions to the world crisis that we are facing now. And furthermore, although I find it frustrating in the movie that the two protagonists never manage to get close to each other, especially physically, I was thinking that what we need now is exactly that kind of self-control..!!!

Staff celebrate 40 years of the North Star Holiday Resort

of the prestigious Australian Tourism Awards for Excellence, Caravan and Camping Industry (CCIA) Awards, annual Trip Advisor Certificates of Excellence, NSW Business Chamber Awards and for the past seven years, Holidays with Kids Top 10 Awards.

North Star is the only five-star rated holiday park in New South Wales and one of only two caravan parks in Australia with a five-star rating in the nationally accredited Star Ratings program.

Mr Beadel said their goal has always been to provide a fantastic experience that families enjoy and want to do again and again.

“We want our guests to recommend North Star to their friends, family and work colleagues,” he said.

IG G Gig

“We’ve come a long way over the past 40 years and are proud to now welcome ‘generations’ of guests, many of whom have spent annual family holidays at North Star since we first opened.

“Some first came to North Star as children. Now they holiday here with families of their own. It is not unusual to have three generations of one family, all holidaying together at North Star.”

Summed up in the words of the President of the Caravan and Camping Industry Association of NSW, Theo Whitmont, who said Ian and Diana Beadel have built possibly the best holiday park in Australia.

“Piece by piece and year by year, ever improving, always looking for ways to bring great holidays to Aussie families,” he said.

NORTH STAR Holiday Resort at Hastings Point is celebrating four decades as a treasured holiday destination that helped create lasting memories for hundreds of thousands of families from across Australia and beyond.

The year was 1980, when Ian and Diana Beadel gave up farming life to pursue their dream of owning a caravan park.

After inspecting countless sites from Cairns to Tasmania, they finally arrived at Hastings Point.

The park they came to inspect was little more than a swampy 10-hectare paddock.

“It had a very basic amenities block, no infrastructure or sewage connections and just a handful of staff,” Mr Beadel said.

The site was a far cry from perfect, but Ian and Diana were encouraged by the burgeoning Tweed Coast destination and the beautiful beach and estuary, just across the road.

“Immediately recognising its immense potential, without hesitation, they bought it. The rest is history,” he said.

The Beadels continually upgraded and revitalised North Star, adding new facilities and attractions at every opportunity.

“Every spare cent was invested in keeping the park fresh, new and appealing for its growing army of repeat guests,” he said.

Over the years, North Star has amassed a formidable tally of business and tourism awards, including twice winner

Entertainment across the Tweed Shire

By Brad Nardi

WITH DAILY changes to how we live, travel and work and circumstances that are unprecedented in this generation, it’s natural that we’re all feeling nervous about what next and what’s ahead.

Many local businesses are now in shutdown or are working to adapt what they do to keep some cash flow, and it’s so important, now more than ever, that we support one another, try to stay positive and lend a hand where and when we’re able.

We’ve seen some great examples of how the Tweed’s business community are doing this through innovative ideas and staying connected. Restaurants and cafes adapting and ideas like takeaway meals and drinks; home delivery of food hampers and supplies; phone ordering and even home delivery of books are just some of the initiatives we are seeing.

It’s important to keep providing inspiration for future visitors and opportunities for our tourism operators and local businesses. To this end, the Tweed Tourism Company has a program of marketing looking to engage the ‘dreaming’ stages and will be ready to roll the welcome mat back out for visitors when governments advise it is appropriate.

Our Tweed foodies guide is just about ready to go and we’ll launch this first as an online brochure, with our hinterland drive trails project also well underway. We’re also keeping the positive vibes coming across the pages of our recently launched website, visitthetweed.com.au. Our operator workshop

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

YEAR IN REVIEW: Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin ON MONDAY (March 23, 2020) I marked my first year as State Member for Lismore, one dominated by the unprecedented community challenges of drought, bushfires, floods, and now, the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic.

I love representing my community and work hard to secure solid wins, sometimes against the odds, for thousands of constituents across all four Local Government Areas: Lismore City, Kyogle, Tenterfield Shire and Tweed Shire.

One of my priorities has been supporting residents in local communities who were impacted by mega bushfires from February to December last year during the emergency response, rebuild and recovery.

Like the bushfires, COVID-19 demands that we look at the current machinery of government, which does not quite fit the needs of current crises, and think laterally and act practically to lessen the adverse impacts on individuals and communities.

The bureaucracy is geared up to do business as usual but what we need is decisive leadership, clear messaging and common sense. The same applies when I have made representations on behalf of local farmers who have had trouble navigating various forms of drought assistance.

To be an effective local MP, myself and my team have forged good

working relationships with ministers, their staff and senior public servants.

However, I will continue to hold the NSW Government to account for cutting jobs and services as it has allowed with Essential Energy; its slow delivery of election promises; and for pushing ‘poisonous’ nuclear power plants on to the North Coast and ignoring safe, cheap and clean renewable energy.

The Nationals’ $1.7-billion underspend of Restart NSW funds has cheated rural and regional NSW of critical infrastructure. The Nationals’ neglect had also left behind legacy issues such as a health workforce at breaking point, public schools waiting for promised infrastructure and a decimated TAFE system.

Where are the 280 more nurses and midwives promised by the National Party candidate for Lismore Austin Curtin on February 17, 2019, as part of an additional 5000 staff statewide over four years?

Where are the 32 more doctors, 38 more allied health workers and 50 more hospital workers promised for Lismore Base Hospital and other hospitals across the Lismore Electorate? This government needs to act more quickly.

Instead of building up our health workforce, the NSW Government has imposed efficiency cuts, potentially putting nurses’ and patients’ safety at risk.

I had to fight to reverse HunterNew England Local Health District’s (HNE-LHD) moves to reduce the

nursing roster at Tenterfield District Hospital, and I have requested that NSW Minister for Health Brad Hazzard to deploy some of the new nurses to Tenterfield.

I worked with Minister Hazzard, his Queensland counterpart Dr Steven Miles, Cross Border Commissioner James McTavish, HNE-LHD, NSW Ambulance and Tenterfield Shire Council to resolve another legacy issue of ambulance transfers of patients from Tenterfield who need a higher level of care in Queensland hospitals.

In recent weeks, thousands of Tweed Valley residents have signed my community petition against a Northern NSW Local Health District proposal to cut 230 nursing hours a fortnight from Murwillumbah District Hospital’s Emergency Department, shifting those hours to Byron Bay and Ballina hospitals.

O f c o u r s e, a ny c u t s t o Murwillumbah’s Emergency Department are on hold until after the winter flu season, but I will continue to strongly advocate for no cuts to be made.

Apart from belated progress at Murwillumbah East Public School, the government has been extremely tardy rolling out promised demountable classrooms at other public schools.

Many local schools have been waiting several years for promised a i r- c o n d i t i o n e d c l a s s ro o m s and libraries under the NSW Government’s Cooler Classrooms Program, and this reluctance to spend for better learning environments is shortchanging students, teachers and parents, Ms Saffin said.

An example of a good win was my successful lobby for an additional

bus service at Nimbin Central School, ensuring that students living at Billen Cliffs/Larnook are not disadvantaged by missing a significant amount of classroom time.

I also secured bus passes for many school students whose families had been denied them under inflexible bureaucratic rulings.

Another recent win for up to 20 local tradesmen plumbers was persuading TAFE NSW to offer a course at Wollongbar Campus for them to become licensed plumbers rather than force them to travel to Coffs Harbour Campus.

TAFE campuses remain under threat from more privatisation and the introduction of Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) fees for traditional trade courses.

The Nationals and the Liberals have decimated TAFE by slowly cutting it to the bone, shedding more than 5000 staff and with 175,000 fewer students. It’s a small yet significant win but I have been able to get a part-time receptionistadministration position reallocated to the TAFE Connected Learning Centre in Murwillumbah.

The Nationals are moving at glacial pace on election commitments, which is why I demanded a January 2020 rollout of the regional seniors travel card, successfully lobbied to have it extended to war veterans and war widows, and am calling for senior carers and senior disability pensioners to be eligible.

Local councils are rightly sceptical about the Nationals’ plan for the NSW Government to take back financial responsibility for up to 15,000 kilometres of regional roads because this process too is taking an eternity to implement.

While it is up to NSW Regional Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole’s independent assessment panel to recommend which roads get the nod, I have stressed the need for respective councils to keep the maintenance contracts so that local jobs are protected.

In a recent Notice of Motion, I called on State Parliament to recognise the urgent need for the NSW Agriculture and Environment ministers to develop a real plan to clean up the Richmond River Catchment, which for many years has had a D-minus rating.

NSW Deputy Premier and Nationals leader John Barilaro’s championing of nuclear reactors represents the biggest environmental threat to the Northern Rivers and Northern Tablelands since Coal Seam Gas and water mining.

The Nationals haven’t learnt a thing from the Bentley blockade and other community surveys and actions, which clearly demonstrated that the region wants to stay clean and green, meaning CSG and nuclear free.

I will keep fighting for the people in challenging times, and more detail on my advocacy on a range of issues was available on my website janellesaffin.com or on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/janelle. saffin/.

BUILDING SERVICES

FEATURED BUSINESS

Hi, my name is Mark and I’m the owner of Tree Change Plumbing, Northern NSW’s newest plumbing service. A couple of years ago my wife and I took the plunge and escaped Sydney for the beautiful Tweed Valley. We bought a property in Stokers Siding that we now share with our 7 month old baby Daisy, our pup Ruby and a couple of cows, chickens and ducks.

HOT WATER

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement.

Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion.

THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

“REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

Healthy Town Challenge to go ahead

THE HEALTHY Town Challenge event that was to be held on Sunday, March 29, in Knox Park, Murwillumbah may have been cancelled due to coranvirus but residents can still access the free coaching services via the Healthy Town Challenge.

In acknowledging that we are all affected by COVID-19, it’s normal to feel anxious. These are unusual times. This is why it’s important to look after ourselves and keep ourselves as healthy as possible.

As part of the Healthy Town Challenge, everyone aged over 16 years has access to a free and confidential phone-based Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Service. This entitles you to 10 to 13 free sessions over a six month period.

Your own personal health coach will provide you with individual support designed to respond to your health goals. It may be sustaining a positive mindset in these complex times, healthy eating, staying active,

reducing alcohol or maintaining weight.

Coaching support is provided by expert health practitioners including Dieticians, Exercise Physiologists and Nurses.

Call 1300 806 258 to talk to your own personal coach who will support you for six-months Re g i s t e r o n l i n e a t w w w. g e t h e a l t h y n s w. c o m . a u o r https://www.facebook.com/ NSWGetHealthyService/ Ask your GP or health professional for a referral Alternatively, contact Kym McMillan(0417 076 700) from It Takes a Town for assistance with the registration process.

One of the 18-horse power generators with representatives from the community action groups

Generators for evacuation centres

By Jonathon Howard T H E M U RW I L LU M B A H Services Club has recently purchased five generators for the future use of evacuation centres across the Tweed Valley this week.

The generators will be made available to evacuation centre sites at Murwillumbah, Uki, Tyalgum, Burringbar and Chillingham.

Murwillumbah Services Club board member Chris Chrisostomos said the board voted to purchase the generators to keep evacuation centres operational during floods, fires and anything else that might pop up.

“If there’s a power outage during a crisis, it’s good to know evacuation centres will now have generators to keep the lights on and phones charging etc,” he said.

“We purchased five generators at a cost of $ 4,500 which was a reduced price thanks to the manufacturer, Kuller, who knocked the price down from $6,000.”

Mr Chrisostomos said Lloyds Auctions also reached out to support the purchase.

“We have had some great support from the community and businesses to purchase these generators,” he said.

STATE MEMBER for Lismore Janelle Saffin has recently announced a total of 20 community projects across her electorate will share $300,000 in funding under the NSW Government’s 2019 Community Building Partnership Program.

Among the list is three outstanding local services including the Murwillumbah Scout Hall who will receive $8,792 for hall repairs, Tweed Valley Woodcraft Association will receive $3,400 for electrical upgrade and Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club will receive $4,550 for its successful young driver program.

Ms Saffin is also calling on the government to bring forward from May applications for the program’s 2020 round as an extra economic boost for the Northern Rivers, Northern Tablelands and country NSW. “Given that we had 60 applications in 2019 – all very worthy projects – I believe there also needs to be a more generous electorate allocation of $600,000 or even $1million to ensure that more great projects get up in the future,” Ms Saffin said.

“We are heading into an autumn/ winter season with the added challenges of COVID-19, and on

the other side of this period, local communities will be looking to recover.

“Spreading grassroots funding is a good way of providing practical support.”

Ms Saffin said she had personally phoned representatives of 20 s u c c e s s f u l o rg a n i s at i o n s t o congratulate them and she very much looked forward to seeing their projects delivered on the ground.

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.

I’m following the path God has laid, you see.

I took His hand when I heard His call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fi ll it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee.

God wanted me now, He set me free

Diary from a cruise ship amid the coronavirus pandemic

By Jo Kennett BANORA POINT locals Peter and Maria Bashford set off for a cruise through Asia in late January just as the coronavirus was shutting down ports across Asia, with Mrs Bashford recording the ensuing drama in her diary.

“We flew to Hong Kong and then were supposed to go to Manilla, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and finish in Shanghai,” Mrs Bashford told The Weekly.

On arrival in Hong Kong the passengers were given health and security checks before boarding Holland America Line’s (HAL) Westerdam and setting sail for the Philippines.

On Sunday, February 2, all passengers had to go for temperature checks before reaching Manila.

B u t t h e n t h e y re c e ive d a n emergency message from the captain saying that due to the death of a Philippine man from coronavirus no foreigners were allowed into Manila.

The ship sailed back to Kaoshung, Taiwan, where passengers filled out two forms for the Taiwan Health Authority and had temperature checks which were all clear.

“During the morning, a large Chinese cruise ship called World Dream moored next to us,” Mrs Bashford wrote in her diary.

“On Wednesday, February 5, we were woken by the captain at 7am – the ship World Dream had a passenger suspected of having coronavirus and had sailed out of port quickly.

“Because of the infection risk, our ship and the local community ashore has restricted movement placed on it all. No one allowed off the ship.

“9am another message from captain – we are not allowed into any port in Taiwan, no visit to Keelung – the main port for Taipei.

“Disappointing for many but the news was taken calmly on the whole.”

After spending a day at sea, the captain told the passengers that Japan wouldn’t allow the ship to land in any of its ports.

“So therefore, this cruise, and the following one, have been cancelled,” Mrs Bashford wrote.

“The captain is trying to find somewhere to get us off the ship and go home but does not know where.

“A letter from the captain was delivered to our cabin, stating a full refund of this cruise plus another 50 per cent off a future cruise.

“On top of that everyone gets a $50 shipboard credit.”

The captains struggled to find ports that would accept the ship but on Monday, February 10, informed passengers that they could disembark in Thailand providing no one had a fever.

“Temperature checks started immediately, and everyone is okay,” Mrs Bashford wrote.

“Wednesday, February 12, another message from captain – we are being discussed at the highest level – the World Health Organisation (WHO), British and Dutch governments, HAL head office in Seattle and Thai government.”

The Thai government suddenly changed their minds and the ship set sail for Cambodia instead.

“HAL will get us to Phnom Penh and transfer us to an airline which will take us home,” Mrs Bashford wrote.

“Have filled in the Cambodian health form.

“BBC World News called our ship a “pariah”, and the local Cambodian newspaper said that 20 people were “being tested”.

“Friday, 14 February, 7.30am woken by announcement from the captain to say the Prime Minister of Cambodia would be arriving to welcome the first passengers off the ship.

“Everyone rushed to the port side of the ship to watch two army helicopters land, the PM got out, amid a huge crowd of reporters, and welcomed the first 160 people to get off the ship.

“They came through a guard of honour and were given flowers by the PM. “All passengers have also been given a lovely Cambodian shawl – ours is still to come.”

The Bashfords stayed on board and prepared to disembark the next morning, Saturday, February 15,

Maria Bashford and her husband Peter were stranded on the Westerdam cruise ship

when they joined the queue for a final temperature check.

“As we went downstairs Mara, our cabin steward, gave us each a Cambodian shawl,” Mrs Bashford wrote.

“Onto a bus, one of four, where we waited for half an hour before being taken to Sihanoukville airport and “decanted” straight onto a plane to Phnom Penh.

“On arrival, another fever check as we got off the bus.”

The Bashfords spent the night in a five-star hotel that HAL had arranged with “a wonderful view over the river (the Mekong) with its very busy life”.

“February 16, 7am, found a note under the door from Luke Arnold, Australian Embassy person, asking to send an email to say we’re okay,” Mrs Bashford wrote.

“Also a note from Cambodian Health Authority who will do checks in-room.

“2pm were sent two messages to go to room 800 for health checks. Went there but the queue was very long, then a nurse came out and said no more today, start again tomorrow.

“Monday, February 17, 12pm finally had health checks – nasal and throat swabs and temperatures.

“The HAL president, Orlando Ashford, has flown from Seattle to Phnom Penh to oversee the transfer of all passengers.”

The next day Mr Ashford was choppered to Sihanoukville at lunchtime, to bring home (to the hotel) the last 200 passengers still on the Westerdam.

“They came with much fanfare reporters, TV etc, guard of honour, Cambodian dancers,” she wrote.

“We got our health certificates and have taken them to the HAL desk for them to organise our flight home.”

After trouble getting passengers on flights home, the Bashfords were finally taken to the airport on February 21.

“We have business class seats,” Ms Bashford wrote.

“Orlando is also here, on his way home – a lovely man and easy to talk to.

“We were also visited by the Aussie Ambassador Pablo Kang and his deputy who guided us through the airport.

“A very well managed event and we’ll be always grateful to both the embassy staff and HAL.” The couple were flown to Japan.

“0900 had a message from Embassy to say all passengers tested negative and there is no need for home quarantine (Professor Paul Kelly, Deputy Chief Medical Officer) dated February 21,” Ms Bashford wrote.

“1200 Flight to Perth on a beautiful Dreamliner B787 with very nice business class seats and flat bed.”

On Sunday, February 23, the Bashfords finally arrived home to Banora Point.

Mrs Bashford said that while it wasn’t the trip they anticipated, it was an unforgettable experience.

“People were wonderfully helpful and everyone was so calm on board,” she said.

“HAL was brilliant and the Australian Embassy staff were magnificent.

“There was always someone for us to talk to; they bent over backwards for us.

“It was great. It wasn’t the holiday I had anticipated but it was great.”

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey WHILST ACTIVITIES on the greens are currently in full stop mode due to the coronavirus, results are still being received for events that were completed just prior to the present shutdown situation.

State Mixed Pairs qualifiers, recently conducted at Pottsville, attracted a field of 19 teams to vie for a spot at the regional play-offs later this year.

Formulated on two sets five ends and drawn in section of four teams each, this fast moving game calls for talent, clever tactics and, of course, heaps of good luck. With two teams making last hour withdrawals from the event, a redraw was necessitated to accommodate the remaining teams. The result being five sections

consisting of 2 x 4 teams and 3 x 3 teams; Section winners together with the next three highest scorers to go forward to the quarter finals.

Section One saw Kingscliff’s Jenny White and Phil Perkiss top score and Brunswick Heads’ Sherril Pearce and Greg Parker collect a quarter final wild card.

In Section Two Anne and Geoff Mullen, Kingscliff, succeeded in progressing to the quarters as did Byron Bay’s Judy Wright and Bulla Burton, compliments of a wild card also.

Cabarita’s Sue and Greg Goode cleaned up in Section 3.

Marie Comerford, Pottsville, joined forces with Greg Sawtell, Kingscliff, to claim top honours in Section 4 with Cabarita’s June and Keith Foran scoring rewarding them

AS THE coronavirus continues, life on a day to day, announcements as of last weekend that effects Surf Life Saving are listed.

Major beaches in Sydney and Byron Bay are closed. Cancelled are the NSW Pool Rescue Titles, the Youth Opportunity workshop, the July 20th NSW Conference, the National Surf championships. The NSW IRB Series are postponed indefinitely and the NSW Awards of Excellence postponed.

The FNC Branch Awards of Excellence and the Pool Rescue will probably cancelled.

Our club presentation night is also postponed to possibly September.

The beach is patrolled weekdays

by Lifeguards and on weekends by our patrols until the end of April.

The Club Championships are programmed for Sunday, April 26, and will hopefully be held.

The Old Boys Association AGM set for Saturday, April 18, is now cancelled and TBA as our venue is closed, and our fundraising there and also at the Surf Club is now cancelled.

The Juniors concluded their season with presentations and the AGM of Cudgen Leagues Club with 300 plus juniors and parents present. The 14 year group who move to the senior ranks next season were presented with Club jackets.

Thursday, March 26, 2020 Local Sport

with a quarter’s wild card.

Section Five resulted in Cabarita’s Lyn and Cec Sheppard taking top honours.

Quarter Finals produced exciting close scoring contests as the Mullens defeated the Comerford/Sawtell combination. Brunny’s Pearce and Parker eliminated the Sheppards.

Team Foran scored full marks to eliminate White and Perkiss and the Wright/Burton team dismissed the Goodes.

Semi-finals were fiercely contested and provided top class entertainment for the spectator gallery. Anne and Geoff Mullen succeeded in outing Sherril Pearce and Greg Parker and Judy Wright and Bulla Burton removed team Foran from the comp.

The final of this championship resulted in a super sweet victory for the Bay pair. Up against team Mullen in Section One, Judy and Bulla won all games but lost their tie breaker against Anne and Greg.

They certainly made up for that loss as they claimed a full marks victory in the final. Best wishes to Judy and Bulla at the Regional Championships later this year.

Will surfing be banned? to ban surfing, I’m pretty sure if people are responsible we will be able to keep on surfing. Over the last week, I have either been in the ocean or in my home. Surf isolation, I would call it, even though it was crowded in the surf, most people are over a metre and a half apart. But come the next swell this all could change as this ever evolving crisis continues.

The Superbank will be packed, with few surfers working, the crowds will be legendary. I believe this, just because of the sheer numbers in the water, will call on the government to ban surfing. How will they stop us? No idea. Let us see as a group, surfers that is, we can use common sense. Who wants to surf in a ridiculous crowd?

Is it possible to have a system where we keep the crowds down? I am thinking

definite has been decided by WBNSW regarding regional and state finals. It’s now a case of wait and see.

See you on the greens, hopefully soon. Keep smiling, safe and healthy.

at the Footy

Tapped in to the waves

HOW LONG? Will Surfing be Banned? Should it be Banned? The question in every surfer’s head has been going around, and around my brain. Are we going to be banned from surfing? Will all beaches be closed? COVID-19 has totally changed our world.

It has already happened in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, and it could be coming to a beach near you. With the coronavirus, we must all practice social distancing, something that was not evident at Cabarita Headland over the weekend. For that matter consider the ridiculous numbers surfing the Snapper to Kirra “Superbank” and Burleigh Heads as well.

If the government does not do anything

43

this is the only way we will be able to surf through this, maybe is just everyone maybe restricting themselves to an hour surf a day, then go in and go home. This may be hard to do, but as a surfing community, if we can keep crowds down, then there will be less chance of the government having to shut down our beaches. It’s the old saying, “You don’t want to be part of the problem, you want to be part of the solution”.

My suggestion is find a deserted wave for you and your friends and try and avoid crowds, exactly what we should be doing on land.

Please all, stay safe, healthy, look after yourself and your loved ones. Keep surfing, love, peace, happiness, and tubes to all. Catch you in the waves!

UNPRECEDENTED TIMES and situations and the NRL is in a holding pattern until further notice.

I must admit I was happy they did try to push on but once the AFL was halted it was only a matter of time. The borders shutting was the final straw and we see ourselves with no footy at all to watch. Given the situation I do believe it is probably the right thing. I like they haven’t put a date on return in order to provide every opportunity to get a season, albeit shortened version in 2020. Even playing up to December 20 can allow for a result, hopefully, for the nation and the game that is the case.

There has been plenty of conjecture around about pay cuts.

The players initially disagreed with a 20 per cent pay cut based on still playing without crowds. The landscape for this has now changed. The AFL went from 71 per cent pay cut to 60 per cent to players finally agreeing on 50 per cent. Yet the executives have taken 20 per cent – go figure? I think 50 per cent is a fair call at this stage. Many jobs will go. There is 180 full-time staff in the NRL yet only 120 in the EPL which is a much bigger business than our product.

Given the fact the queues at Centrelink are increasing (not for those who don’t work or choose not too) and many people are now out of work, I think it is the bare minimum from pretty high earning players.

I have a couple of suggestions for grassroots. I believe this year if we get back, registration and insurances should be refunded to all juniors based on a shortened season.

I also think every NRL player (400 if we look at top 25 at 16 clubs) should donate one per cent of their salary to grassroots Rugby League to get it back up and running. With an average wage of $350,000 approximately $1.4 million dollars to may pay for junior kids next year to play for free. Even if each player pays for three kids to play, that is 1,200 aspiring NRL players whose parents might be doing it tough that can play footy just like they did.

The weeks are weird with no training on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the weekends are now clear – not that it helps stuck at home. May be time to watch some replays of the 80s and 90s when the game was a lot different.
