Hundreds of ďŹ sh have been found dead at Vintage Lakes in Banora Point

Mr Warren estimated the number of dead fish to be 100 plus.

In a media statement, Tweed Shire Council said more fish kills are likely and the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is investigating. “Council has reported a fish kill at Vintage Lakes, Banora Point, to DPI Fisheries who are investigating the cause of the kill,� Council said. “About 30 mullets have been found dead at the outlet of the freshwater lake, with about 60 more struggling to breathe. It is expected more fish will die over coming days. “Council will remove the dead fish once investigations are complete.�

Council said Clarrie Hall Dam has started to turnover due to the change in temperature.

Banora Point residents are concerned weed overgrowth could have contributed to the ďŹ sh kill

“Council is monitoring conditions at the dam but as yet has no reports of fish kills,� Council said. “Clarrie Hall Dam undergoes a seasonal overturn every few years, where the deeper de-oxygenated waters well up to the top of the water column. “This is a natural process normally happening around the beginning of winter as the top water layers cool and sink to the bottom forcing the bottom layers up.�

A NSW DPI spokesperson said they were investigating the fish kill. “Tweed Shire Council staff reported the event and assisted with the investigation,� a DPI spokesperson said. “The main species affected were mullet, with bream and spangled perch also observed. “Council staff removed 35 dead mullets on Friday, 60 more on the weekend and 200 to 250 on Monday this week. “DPI will continue to monitor the event with Council.�

The DPI spokesperson said the suspected cause was related to very low dissolved oxygen levels in the lakes. “Likely caused by the significant growth of aquatic vegetation such as Duckweed (Lemna minor),� the spokesperson said. “Vintage Lakes is known to have very poor flushing capacity and has experienced similar fish death events in the past. “Over the past three years there has been six fish death events investigated across the Tweed local government area. “Five of these events occurred over the 2019-2020 summer period.�

Community members are encouraged to report any fish deaths or observations through the Fishers Watch phoneline on 1800 043 536.

By Jonathon Howard BANORA POINT residents have expressed renewed concern for the future of aquatic life in the waterways after a fish kill at Vintage Lakes on Friday, May 8, that has reignited calls to reduce aquatic weed overgrowth.

Vintage Lakes resident Heather Inwood wrote her concerns to The Weekly, stressing the need to remove an overgrown aquatic plant, which she said “appears to be suffocating� the fish. “I have taken some pictures of the dead fish at present in the waters at Vintage Lake, Botanical Circuit and Port Drive,� she said. “As beautiful as the lake looks, which is covered in weed, it appears to be starving the lake of oxygen, causing the fish to be suffocated and dying. “I have lived on this lake for 20-plus years and this is the third time I’ve witnessed this. The last time being in 2016.�

Mrs Heather’s views were shared by another Banora Point resident, Lloyd Warren, who said more needed to be done to reduce overgrowth in the canals.

Mr Warren said he wanted to acknowledge the efforts of Council staff to keep the canals clean.

However, he felt more needed to be done to address the overgrowing aquatic plant life. “I think Council is doing a good job and they have responded quickly to remove the dead fish on Monday, May 11,� he said. “But I believe the underlying problem relates to the overgrown aquatic plant life starving the fish of oxygen. “If this is the case then it needs to be reduced severely to prevent a future repeat and loss of more fish.�

Food growing areas long gone

Unless the councillors of the Tweed Shire are over sixty years old, they would know the food growing areas were Cudgen, Kingscliff and around Banora Point. The rest was grazing land for cattle and dairy farms. On the flats sugar cane, on the hills bananas - the best food growing areas have gone.

Buy local and love the Tweed

We have all been hit hard by COVID-19, none more so than the business community. Business is the engine room of the community, providing us all with the products and services we need to live, and the jobs and incomes that allow us to provide for ourselves and our families.

T i m e s a re t o u g h fo r l o c a l businesses and the Tweed business community have proven to be innovative, adaptive, resilient, and determined in the way they’ve responded to the coronavirus crisis during these challenging times.

To ensure they could still trade within the bounds of the COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve seen local cafes and restaurants change their entire business models. They’ve created new products and rolled out new services and distribution methods such as takeaway options, home deliveries and drive through options.

Supermarkets and convenience stores responded quickly to the unprecedented panic buying by increasing deliveries and staff numbers and implementing limits on certain items.

To support local businesses, the Tweed Tourism Co has launched their #lovethetweed campaign. Visit their website www.visitthetweed. c o m . a u / l ove t h e t we e d fo r inspiration.

Please remember to support local businesses where you can, and if you are able to do so.

Buy local. Support local. Love local. We’re all in this together!

Support neighbouring farmers

Corey Crosthwaite is my neighbour, we share a boundary at Chinamans Creek. I have lived next door to him over 15 years and admire his farming ethics. His farm has ever changing scenery with the seasons. Gentle contented dairy cows, the ebb and flow of life, calves born, fresh crops, droughts and floods. Rain, hail or sunshine this farmer’s day starts at 4.30am and finishes between 7.30pm and 8.30pm. These farms/farmers are priceless with food security now and for our future. We have the best farming practices in the world. SARS/COVID-19 should be a wake-up call to all. Please respect and protect our farmers, our neighbours.

Keep the headland for all

On behalf of the residents of Hastings Point Tri Care Retirement Community, I would like to express our concern and objections to the proposal to close the top car park on the Hastings Point headland area.

Many of our residents are unable to walk up to the headland due to mobility and physical problems and the benefits they receive mentally by being able to drive up there and soak up the scenery, get some fresh air and maybe spot a whale or two is immeasurable I’m sure it is also a perfect day drive for many people, both young and old to visit, shop at the local store and picnic for an hour or two.

I personally, in the 30 years of residing in the area, have never encountered a rubbish problem on the top headland. Down below when the lower ground is open to campers there is definitely a parking and rubbish problem as the facilities are not suitable for a campground.

We ask that all citizens are considered: young/old, mobile/ immobile, able/disabled when making the decision.

We oppose headland closure

In reference to the Hastings Point lookout, my wife and I oppose permanent change to access to the Hastings Point headland lookout.

We do not begrudge free campers’ access to paradise.

Let’s keep Caba special

I want to thank the council for closing the beach car parks during COVID-19. It helped reduce the traffic of people and give communities chance to remember a n d ap p re c i at e t h e n at u r a l environment we still have available in our shire.

I’ve lived in a lot of places that have lost their natural beauty. It doesn’t come back once development and progress come. We should make moves to protect what we have before it’s gone.

Caba headland is so close to being over-loved, it simply cannot handle the people that want to enjoy it.

We should look at alternative parking arrangements, keep it closed more often and allow people in every other day. We could add parking to the street alongside the reserve. First will be Caba, then Hastings Point and then Fingal. Let’s protect what we have. We can find other options.

John, Bogangar

Positives of a pandemic

The media seem to talk only about the catastrophic effects that Covid19 is having on the economy, such as mental health and suicide rates, but I wish they would also encourage people to think positive.

Because of the pandemic we have all been forced to take a break from a frantic pace of life that is very stressful for most people; we have had the opportunity to spend time with our kids and immediate family and bond with them in ways that many had not experienced before – and that goes also for all the ones who have been in touch by social media with relatives and friends for whom they normally have very little time.

We have also had the time to ‘put order’ in life priorities, values and also in our immediate physical surroundings, like our homes.

We have had time to study again, to read and to listen, to explore our creativity in new ways and to discover a sense of community and solidarity that perhaps we were not aware of.

And we have understood once and for all that we need to create a more equitable world and to provide help for people in need. Not to mention the precious breath of fresh air that the planet is breathing with less pollution and man-made damage to the environment.

If we make an effort to follow the advice of science and health authorities about hygiene and social distancing here in Australia we may be able to return to our ‘normal’ lives sooner than expected - there are already signs of this in the first days of shops and house auctions re-opening.

While it is obvious that Covid-19 has been a huge tragedy in terms of loss of human lives and the collateral damage to jobs and the economy, let us all take something positive away from this experience when it eventually passes, and hold on to some of the new priorities we are now giving to our families, friends and those in need.

Maria Barbieri, Uki

we stopped to look at the massive irrigation of cotton at Cubbie Station’s 230,000-acre farm. Is China out of control?

James King, Cudgen

I agree with Cr Cooper

Australia has hung itself from its own petard; thinking the soft enterprise such as the export of tourism, education and minerals would be the saving grace with guaranteed markets.

It has been the easier money, avoiding the risk-laden hard yards of sweat and engineering innovation with the workshops, and factories and the often problem of wages and union troubles. Avoiding the so-called dark Satanic mills was the cleaner way to go. Denying apprenticeship, satisfying manual talents and creative science did not favour discussion.

Now it’s the ‘China factor’ (my own term) – the incredible ability of what were dubbed the ‘Asian tigers’ even as early as the seventies.

The emerging nations could swamp our nation with (mostly) well-made consumer goods that we could never have hoped to compete against.

Now we have to cut ourselves loose and find the directions that we need to take. And God help us as there is an awful lot of so-called experts milling about nowadays with doctorates, many believing it is their carte blanche opportunity.

A small coterie of capable, imaginative problem solvers without vested interests could take us to a place other than the fool’s paradise that has served our lazy politicians, our bureaucrats and our business sector for 30 or 40 years.

Soon the myriad decision making will begin and it’s going to have to be good. We should be heartily confident.

Warren James, Tweed Heads

While no one disputes the benefits tourism brings to the Tweed, the industry criticism of Cr Ron Cooper’s plan to invest ratepayer funding in light industry startups is both misleading and short-sighted (TVW, May 7).

Defining tourism and hospitality figures in dollar terms is meaningless without a yet-to-be established light industry base with which to compare them.

Given that the COVID-19 virus has already mutated multiple times, and will continue to do so, an effective vaccine could well be years away, if ever.

It’s extremely doubtful that Tweed tourism as we knew it will ever return to its previous format nor bring in the comparative dollar returns of the past. Whatever its future, tourism and hospitality run primarily on casual or part-time workers and offering little long-term security in an employment market that will be struggling for several years post the current emergency.

But a light industry incentive designed to incorporate both the manufacturing and marketing boundaries of a COVID-19 environment, and to offer full-time employment, makes absolute sense.

Value-added agriculture, and the establishment of stand-alone rooftop solar and renewable energy precincts to get as many ratepayers as possible off the grid and away from everincreasing electricity prices, are just two areas of development which spring to mind.

Tourism and light industry are not mutually exclusive, and there is no reason why the owners of tourism and Airbnb establishments should receive ratepayer preference for a majority part-time employment environment at the expense of a permanent employment initiative.

Tourism already benefits from both state and Federal funding.

Tweed ratepayers are crying out for their dollars to be spent on parks, potholes and essential shire infrastructure; not on attracting daytrippers who contribute nothing to the upkeep of essential services.

Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff

According to the report, a second major supermarket would contribute about $17 million of additional supermarket spend within the trade area and upward of 609 jobs could be generated both directly and indirectly during and post construction.

Several Murwillumbah businesses were opposed to the plans and in 2018 established a campaign titled Save My Murwillumbah after Woolworths purchased the site.

An economic impact assessment in 2015, completed by Location IQ on behalf of the applicant, found the development of a second major supermarket in the Murwillumbah CBD would impact 11 out of the town’s 126 businesses including butchers, bakeries and fruit shop, as well as other existing supermarkets, although the Murwillumbah Foodworks on the corner of Wollumbin Street and Brisbane Street has since closed.

WOOLWORTHS ARE preparing to revisit their plans to develop the former Murwillumbah Bowls Club site which the company purchased in 2018.

The Weekly put several questions to the retail giant this week to determine whether the company would push ahead with the site’s redevelopment.

Woolworths Property Development Manager Chris Sheehan responded to the questions and said the company was looking forward to discussing the site with Tweed Shire Council and the community.

“We are excited about the opportunity to contribute positively to the local Murwillumbah community via our landholdings on the corner of Brisbane and Condong streets,” Mr Sheehan said.

“We look forward to discussing the site with Council and engaging the broader Murwillumbah community in due course.”

Woolworths acquired the former Murwillumbah Bowls Club site for $2.5 million in 2018 after the club’s closure in 2012.

The bowls club had operated at the site for 91 years and was taken over by the Murwillumbah Services Club in 2010 in a bid to revive the debt-laden club.

Unfortunately, the club’s losses were unable to be turned around and board members voted to close the club in May 2012.

In 2015, a Planning Proposal was submitted to Tweed Shire Council to rezone the Brisbane Street site from recreational to commercial to allow for a 4,100-square metre Woolworths supermarket with 200 parking spaces.

Former councillors voted unanimously against the proposal, despite Council

Airbnb bookings collapse

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Airbnb bookings have collapse since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic with local real estate agents seeing an increase in rentals now available in the interim.

The Tweed Shire has experienced a boom in Airbnbs during the past three years from December 2016, which more than tripled to 1,337 properties by December 2019.

This loss of rental stock led to increased prices and difficulty for local residents to find rental properties, with some long-time locals forced to move out of the area as a result.

However, now it is renters in the driver’s seat with plenty of properties to choose from, though many former Airbnb properties are only being rented short-term.

One Casuarina man said he had got a steal with a great value beachside property at Casuarina.

Brent Savage from LS Properties said he has seen an increase in short-term leases with the collapse of Airbnb bookings.

“There were 200 Airbnbs just in Casuarina, so we will definitely see a flood of rentals hit the markets, but I’m hoping this summer will be a big one,” Mr Savage told The Weekly.

“We are going through a bump on the road, but this area is only going to continue growing and we are still in the early stages compared to other places in Australia.

“There are so many people around but everyone has been riding the Airbnb wave so maybe owners are back in their houses as well.”

LJ Hooker Kingscliff’s Nick Witheriff said there had definitely been a move from shortterm to longer-term rentals.

“Rhiannon Bald does our rentals and said she found a lot of owners are transferring from short to long-term off the back of COVID-19,” Mr Witheriff told The Weekly.

“I have noticed there has already been a take up in that stock because there is such demand for rentals.

“The stock levels for rentals are always low and with the number of owner occupiers we haven’t seen a flood of rentals, but we have seen a shift to long term, though that is now starting to even itself out. We are taking short term bookings from July 1.”

Mr Witheriff said his agency had just sold an Airbnb house at 33 Collins Lane, Casuarina, for $1.6 million which was purchased for $1.48 million last year.

“What we are finding is that 90 per cent of Kingcliff and Casuarina is owner occupied and 10 per cent are investors,” he said.

“We have seen the percentage rise from 50 to 90 per cent in the space of three years.

“Three years ago, five properties out of ten were Airbnb or rentals.

“Now it’s very rare we sell a house to someone who is looking at renting it out.”

Craig Hill runs Howzit Boutique Holiday Management and said they are seeing properties move to three-month leases.

“With Covid everything came to a screeching halt from mid-March when Airbnb opened up a free cancellation policy and a lot of bookings were cancelled,” Mr Hill said.

“There are more short-term leases up to three months now.

“The situation is quite tricky because all the properties are fully furnished so we have been targeting rentals of up to three months.”

Mr Hill said he expects things to change once the Queensland border reopens.

“The Tweed Coast market is extensively from Brisbane so once the border opens up we may see quite a big influx,” he said.

“I feel with people not being able to travel internationally - they would be looking to travel domestically and have already applied to work for their leave.”

Mr Hill said he was optimistic about the future of property on the Tweed Coast.

“I have one property in a sought after pocket and they have been getting off the market offers,” he said.

“They realise there is a demand for it so they are thinking about putting it on the market.

“My belief is the property market here is a lifestyle purchase and it won’t be as affected as city markets might be.

“It’s a tough situation but we will get through this.”

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.

Last week we each used

200L a day as at 8 May 2020

In brief ...

Missing link in Pottsville path Council has engaged contractors to construct a shared-user path through Hardy Park at Pottsville.

Construction is expected to take four weeks and will start in the next few weeks.

The shared-user path will provide a missing off-road link along Overall Drive from Charles Street to 100 metres north of Victoria Avenue. The path will link several recreation facilities in the reserve, including a basketball court and playground equipment.

The path will be 420 metres long and be constructed as close to the tree line as possible while avoiding the wetlands.

The project has been part-funded by Transport for NSW to encourage active communities.

Spend a simulated day at the museum No tickets during road testing: Council road tests its Parking Enforcement Vehicle to make sure its on-board equipment is set up correctly before its put to work in the shire to help rangers identify illegally parked vehicles. The road testing will continue to mid May. Infringement notices will not be issued during road testing if the vehicle detects an offence.

Council adopts key planning document Council last week adopted a key planning document that will drive the future vision for how our rural lands are managed.

The Rural Land Strategy 2020 – 2036 sets a blueprint to enhance the character of the Tweed’s rural areas, support agriculture and industry and create employment opportunities through innovation, value-adding and diversification.

The strategy was adopted after the draft document was on public exhibition for almost a year, following extensive drafting and consultation with the community and stakeholders.

The Rural Land Strategy seeks to balance the needs for: security

in operating agricultural businesses and provide income generating opportunities without the need to work off-farm; to protect the environment and important extractive resources; and, to provide greater housing opportunities without eroding the essential character of the Tweed.

Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/newforwardplanning to read the strategy.

Council deferred its debate on the Kingscliff Locality Plan and Development Control Plan (Section B26) to its next Planning Meeting.

A day at the museum has gone online with a virtual tour that simulates a visit to the Murwillumbah attraction giving a digital view of its current exhibitions through a sequence of still images, text and narration.

The virtual tour gives users a taste of the rich displays available for the community to enjoy when the museum opens again.

The museum tour is part of Council's Together Tweed campaign designed to keep the community connected to discovering local history during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Visitors can ‘click’ their way through the building and delight in the beauty of its 1915 art-deco architecture and displays, including the new Land | Life | Culture exhibition which opened just weeks before the pandemic closure.

Land | Life | Culture showcases the unique natural and cultural heritage that shape life in the Tweed Valley.

Last days to have your say on climate change policy With less than a week to have your say, Council is urging the community to provide its feedback on the draft Climate Change Policy – Net Zero by 2030 by next Monday, 18 May 2020.

Around 40 submissions have been received to date.

The draft policy is designed to set Council on a path to reach net zero emissions from its operations by 2030 and to support community efforts to do the same.

The draft policy sets out Council’s key priorities for responding

to climate change, including: securing Tweed Shire’s drinking water supply; protecting development and infrastructure from coastal hazards and tidal inundation; supporting emergency preparedness and recovery; protecting human health from climate-related risks, such as contaminated water, viruses, heat and dust; improving biodiversity and ecosystem health across the Tweed; and, advocating to the NSW and Federal governments for legislation and funding.

Join the backyard weeds blitz

Staying home? COVID-19 may have changed the way we live but perhaps more time in the backyard might be just what the Landcare doctor ordered.

Now is the perfect time for a Backyard Weeds Blitz.

While the drought slowed their growth, late summer rains have seen backyard weeds make the most of the warm temperatures.

Landcare, in partnership with Council, wants everyone to help secure the coast from the threat of weeds by getting rid of four key coastal weeds from their backyards, namely: • asparagus weed (Asparagus species) • Bitou bush (Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. Rotunda) • cape ivy (Delairea odorata), and • glory lilly (Gloriosa superba).

Weeds can spread very easily from your yard (no matter how small) by wind, water and birds/beasts.

Share your backyard biosecurity blitz with the Landcare team by sending your photos to landcarecoordinator@tweedlandcare.org.au or share online at www.facebook.com/tweedlandcare For help to identify and control weeds at your place, visit www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/biosecurity/weeds/weed-control The Backyard Weeds Blitz is funded by North Coast Local Land Services and Rous County Council.

Ground asparagus (Asparagus aethiopicus).

Small steps to community village A draft site masterplan and some indicative concepts for housing design have been drawn up for a proposed Wardrop Community Village project.

The work is focussed on investigating the potential for Council to undertake a financially and environmentally sustainable development to respond to the urgent need for more low-cost and affordable rental housing in the Tweed.

To date, design consultants Deicke Richards has refined an original concept design for the proposed village so that preliminary costings can be done.

Council will now consult with a recently appointed community reference group on the draft site masterplan before undertaking wider community consultation. This process will provide more clarity around the potential of the proposed project and its likely costs.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

POLICE BEAT Man charged with police pursuit TWEED POLICE were led on a wild goose chase from the Tweed Valley to Banora Point on Thursday, May 7, after a 29-year-old Murwillumbah man refused to stop for a random breath test (RBT).

Police said it was about 11.19pm when the man was driving a Holden sedan along Tweed Valley Way at Condong.

Police attempted to stop the vehicle for a RBT before it took off.

“It is alleged the Holden reached speeds of 120km per hour,” police said.

Police used road spikes at Banora

Hills Drive which deflated a rear tyre on the driver’s side.

But that did not stop the man from continuing, pushing the vehicle further up the Pacific Motorway towards the Fingal Head exit.

“The car allegedly collided with plastic bollards and stopped on Letitia Road, Fingal Head,” police said.

“The driver was arrested at the scene. The pursuit went for 18 minutes and travelled 26 kilometres.”

Police searched the man’s car and it is alleged gloves, torches, a screwdriver, wire cutters and a jemmy bar were located which police alleged were used to commit thefts.

Police also located a number plate which is suspected of being stolen.

The man was taken to The Tweed Hospital for blood and urine samples.

He was charged with police pursuit, driving an unregistered vehicle, driving under the influence of drugs and possessing goods suspected of being stolen.

He was bailed and will front Tweed Heads Local Court on July 6.

Man charged after foot pursuit

A 27-YEAR-OLD wanted man has attempted to allude police by hiding under a bridge at Chinderah on Thursday, May 7.

Police said it was about 10.45pm when officers spotted the man walking along Chinderah Drive.

“The man was known to police and

had two warrants for his arrest for breach of community corrections order,” police said.

Upon seeing police, it is alleged the man legged it and jumped over nearby fences.

Police commenced a foot pursuit, but the man got away and police began an operation to locate him.

“About 11.45pm the man was located hiding under a bridge in Chinderah,” police said.

He was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with the two warrants and resisting police.

He was bailed and will front Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, July 20.

Female charged with motorcycle thefts

A 22-YEAR-OLD woman will front court over the theft of four motorcycles allegedly stolen from Tweed Heads South last year.

Detectives said four motorcycles were stolen from a Tweed Heads South home in June 2019 and they were able to track down a suspect who was later arrested on Thursday, May 7 at a Dulguigan home.

A 22-year-old woman was charged with four counts of stealing a motor vehicle and for being a carrier in conveyance without consent.

She was bailed to appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, June 22.

Man charged with break enter and steal

FREE COVID-19 TESTING

TWEED POLICE have nabbed a 32-year-old man after he allegedly attempted to break into a mechanical workshop on Minjungbal Drive at Tweed Heads South on Tuesday, May 6.

Police said it was about 10pm when it is alleged the man attempted to break into the mechanical workshop.

“Police responded to a call and located the man hiding behind a shipping container,” police said.

It is alleged PVC piping and a brick retaining wall were damaged in the attempted break in.

Police searched the man and it is alleged property stolen from a break in at a Tweed Heads South Motel was found on him.

“The man was arrested and taken to Tweeds Heads Police Station and charged with malicious damage, attempted break enter and steal and break enter and steal,” police said.

By Jo Kennett TWO POLICE dogs are being hailed for their work in capturing a man who led police on a chase through the Tweed Shire on Thursday, May 7, with a young child in the car for much of the way.

The man was charged with a number of offences after being apprehended at Lismore with the help of PD Yogi and PD AJ and their handlers from the Police Dog Unit.

The dramatic chase began in Loganlea, Queensland when Queensland Police attempted to speak with the driver of a Mazda 3 at around 8pm, before the vehicle fled the scene at speed.

PolAir tracked the vehicle on the M1 across the NSW border, where it was allegedly travelling at speeds of up to 190km/hr.

The Mazda stopped at a service centre at Chinderah, where three people, including a young child, left the vehicle which continued towards Nimbin.

Po l i c e c o m m e n c e d a p u r s u i t a t Murwillumbah, with Richmond Police District officers deploying two sets of road spikes.

The pursuit continued until the vehicle was abandoned on William Blair Avenue, Goonellabah.

Officers established a perimeter and requested the assistance of the Police Dog Unit.

About 9.50pm, a 26-year-old man was arrested and taken to Lismore Police Station.

He was charged with six offences, including police pursuit (Skye’s law) in dangerous manner, driving while disqualified, driving recklessly/furiously or in a dangerous speed/ manner, resisting an officer in the execution of duty, possessing a prohibited weapon;and using a prohibited weapon contrary to prohibition order.

The man was given a roadside drug test which allegedly returned a positive result.

He was refused bail and attended Lismore Local Court on Friday, May 8.

More than a hundred comments poured into the NSW Police Dog Unit website praising AJ, Yogi and their handlers for their “excellent work”.

Apparently Yogi is already a bit of a media star, so we look forward to seeing more of these two canine heroes making our world

By Jo Kennett LOCAL RESIDENTS are calling for guardrails to be installed on a section of the Pottsville Mooball Road at Sleepy Hollow where a driver died after hitting a tree on Saturday, May 9.

The accident occurred around 6.30am and several local cyclists were first on the scene.

They did what they could to help the man until emergency services arrived.

The male driver was trapped and suffering serious injuries according to Tweed Police.

Police, ambulance, NSW Fire and Rescue and VRA rescue squads raced to the scene, with a Westpac Rescue Helicopter tasked to pick up the victim landing on Sleepy Hollow Road.

The 41-year-old man was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.

Rhiannon Francis said she travelled the road around 3.30am each morning and had long held concerns for the safety of motorists.

“Some days I have to travel along that road six times a day,” Ms Francis said.

“It’s the worst in the rain; thankfully I’ve

never had an accident along that road but I have had some close calls with possums.

“There is a lot of wildlife along that road so I think it not only needs a guard rail along it, especially if it’s a school bus route, but also more wildlife warning signs.”

Ms Francis was upset to hear that the man had died.

“That’s devastating,” she told The Weekly.

“My thoughts are with his family.”

A Sleepy Hollow woman, who preferred not to be named, said the road needed a guard rail along that section.

“I have seen two bad accidents there in the past 12 months and numerous minor ones over the five years I have lived along Pottsville Mooball Road,” she said.

“I’m in the process of talking to the Council to organise a petition to have them put one up before someone else loses their life.

“Lots of locals are keen to get a guard rail up along that stretch, especially as it’s a Splendour and Falls Festival detour road.”

“Why Do I Use this Photo in My Ads?” Dear friend, “I know you.” That’s what people usually say when they meet me in town. Then they say, “You’re Eric. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and the cute little girl.” Well, perhaps I should tell you a little more about that photo, and why I use it in my ads. Let’s start with me, the crazy guy, holding his kid by the head.

35 years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever.

“I’m a carpenter working for a master carpenter at the time. We are building million dollar homes, I’m learning from one of the best. I’m young and making good money, life’s good. But, then it happens,…I develop severe low back pain, my Doctor tells me I have a “herniated disc”. I’ve had low back pain off and on since the army but this is different. The pain is so intense I can’t stand up, and if I move it shoots sharp pain down my leg. There is no way I can work, I’m afraid I’ll lose my job if I don’t get better. My Doctor gives me drugs, that do not help. The surgeon says I’ll have to have surgery.

I was only 23 and decided against it.

Finally, my boss convinces me to give his doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films and then “adjusts” my spine. The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. I get relief and I can actually walk out with no help! Oh, by the way, that new doctor is a Chiropractor. Chiropractic works so well for me and for the other ‘miracle cases’ I see in his office, that I decide to quit my job and go to Chiropractic School myself.”

Now for Arianne, the little girl in the picture. She has always been very active and physical. She has not had any real problems or injuries, but she still loves to get adjusted. She says it makes her smile more. That seems like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference to her. By the way, she is 13 now.

I have 5 girls; Rhiannon 25, Gwendolyn 22, Nimue 18, Caoilinn 16, and Arianne 13 years. Nimue, when she was about 12 months old, and starting to walk, we noticed her right foot and leg turned inward and her balance was off. She would drag and trip over her foot when walking and more so when she ran. She was always falling and skinning her knees and hands. I started checking her and adjusting her

more often. Her balance started to improve and within one year she was totally better. Now she does dance and competes in Eisteddfods up and down the coast. That might seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference to her.

They all know enough to ask me to adjust them when they feel like they may be getting sick, or mostly just to stay “tuned up”.

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their low back pain. But, they also come to me with headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, sciatica, whiplash, back aches, asthma, reflux, numbness, athletic injuries, insomnia, just to name a few.

I would tell you what some of my patients had to say but my registration board won’t allow that.

You should know that I don’t heal anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that!

Many people do not have health insurance, and those who do have found their benefits only cover a portion of the care they need. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Studies show that people actually pay less for their long term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor.

Another way to save…peerreviewed scientific studies show that

chiropractic may increase certain immune system indicators, naturally and without drugs. Your immune system fights colds, the flu and other sickness. Although all people respond differently to chiropractic care, you may not be running off to the doctor as much. This is especially important if you are self-employed.

You Benefit from an Amazing Offer – Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. My entire new patient exam, consultation and x-rays is $137. That includes X-RAYS!!

If needed…the whole ball of wax.

NO HIDDEN FEES. Please call right away, as appointments fill up fast and I don’t want you to miss out. By the way, further care is very affordable, too. You’ll be happy to know that I have affordable family plans. You see, I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with high fees after that. Further Care is very important to consider when making your choice of a chiropractor. High costs can add up very quickly.

Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have this lower exam fee offer. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a Cum Laude graduate of Life University (USA).

I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes. After practicing in North Queensland for five years, I moved my family here to Murwillumbah. I just have that low fee to help more people who need care.

My assistants are Kathy, Gwen and Yaz. We have a GREAT massage therapist in Elias Fisher. They are really great people. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have wonderful service at an exceptional fee. Our office is located at: 4/289 Tweed Valley Way Murwillumbah, (02) 6672 2760. (across from the bus depot and next door to the RTA) Call the office today for an appointment.

Queensland motorcycle cop injured

By Jo Kennett A POLICE officer has been taken to hospital following a crash between a motorcycle and a car at the Kennedy Drive off-ramp at the Pacific Motorway on Friday, May 8.

Witnesses said the victim was an on-duty motorcycle policeman and his bike had gone underneath the car.

Multiple police vehicles and ambulances attended the scene around 1.30pm.

Tweed Police said the motorcyclist, a 51-yearold man, was treated on the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to The Tweed Hospital.

The driver of the car, a 57-year-old woman, was not injured and police at the scene performed a roadside breath test which allegedly returned a negative result.

Tweed Police established a crime scene with the Crash Investigation Unit to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Tweed Byron LAC Police Chief Inspector Mick Dempsey said the injured man was a Queensland Police officer.

“He had soft tissue damage and I think he is probably out of hospital now,” Ch Insp Dempsey told The Weekly.

The double roundabout has been the scene of numerous accidents with ongoing community calls to have something done about it.

Last year, Labor candidate Craig Elliot committed to urgent upgrades of the intersection in the lead up to the state election which his party lost.

The upgrades included installing traffic lights, however some locals disagree with the idea claiming traffic lights will cause even more congestion in the area.

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

Open border now says Numinbah residents The Weekly attempt to gain an understanding of when the Queensland border could re-open and plans revealed the border should towards the end of May, subject to the pandemic.

Adrienne Weber wrote to The Weekly raising concerns that regional residents, who rely on Numinbah Road to cross into Queensland, are being “unfairly targeted”.

“Protest by NSW and Queensland border residents affected by being denied local road access to work and essential services,” Adrienne said.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED VALLEY residents living near the Numinbah Road border crossing have teamed up with their Queensland neighbours to protest the Queensland/NSW border closure (pictured).

A group of more than 20 residents held placards calling for the border to be reopened as a matter of urgency to allow children to get to school easily and reconnect locals with work and their communities.

While many residents accepted the closure as a matter of urgency, many are now concerned the border closure has lasted too long and has impacted the lives of many rural families.

One family, who preferred not to be named, told The Weekly they were driving an extra 40 minutes to almost the same location just to take children to school, visit family members or for work.

Several landholders “disappointed” with majority vote on Rural Land Strategy “Farming groups in the shire were anxiously waiting for this strategy hoping that it would provide a planning framework for the future of farming in the Tweed.

“It was hoped that the RLS would acknowledge that large parts of the shire are unsuitable for economically viable farming because of poor soil, steep terrain and a multitude of other well documented restrictions and would offer alternative land uses for these areas.

“Alas that hasn’t happened.”

Mr Brooks said the RLS has “failed” to identify the massive differences in farming on land zoned RU1 agricultural production and the majority of the shire which is zoned RU2 rural landscape, or make any allowances.

“There appears to be a utopian view within Council, and the wider community, about farming and this has been clearly reflected in the RLS as it is more an environmental rural landscape document than a practical farming support document,” Mr Brooks said.

Tweed Rural Sustainability Alliance (TRSA) President David Hammill said Council has adopted the RLS “without many positive outcomes for the rural landholders”.

“TRSA has argued the case for the rural landholders to get a better deal within the RLS which would enable the landholders to be better equipped in looking after the scenic amenity of the Tweed that we all enjoy but is paid for by the landholders.”

Mr Hammill said he believes the TRSA has been “thwarted” by Council’s refusal to answer questions

in writing and their “inability to produce a critical document”.

“On April 2, TRSA placed an advertorial in The Weekly asking Tweed Shire Council (TSC) to answer 16 questions that TRSA believed clearly showed that the draft RLS was being put up for adoption with incorrect data,” he said.

“Council’s response was that they did not answer questions through the media.

“TRSA then sent the questions direct to TSC for written answers, but no written answers were received.”

Mr Hammill said the ability for landholders to build a second dwelling on their properties was one of the big issues of contention with the draft RLS. “Because of the importance of this vital document that Council was basing a lot of their argument upon, TRSA requested a copy of the document from Council but were unable to get a copy,” he said.

“One of the councillors plus a state MP also tried to get copies of the document but also without success.

“This supposed document was pivotal to the elected councillors being able to make a well-informed decision on the RLS and yet the elusive document remains just that, elusive.”

Mr Hammill said he wanted to “apologise” on behalf of TRSA to the 3,000 people who signed petitions and the hundreds that attended public meetings in support of changes to the RLS and in particular for Council to allow detached dual occupancy dwellings.

“TRSA was able to get some of the changes that they requested adopted

Free solar - savings up to $600 on electricity bills The NSW Government is trialling a new way to assist people on low incomes with their power bills by installing free solar systems for up to 3,000 eligible households in place of their Low Income Household Rebate. This program aims to improve energy affordability by helping households unlock long terms savings on their electricity bills. While this means you will no longer receive the $285 annual rebate on your electricity bill, you could receive up to $600 in savings per year from your new solar system!

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

“The actions outlined in this strategy are designed to achieve this.”

There are more than 140 Council actions outlined in the Rural Land Strategy, including to prepare a tourism strategy which identifies opportunities to grow rural tourism, including agri-business, and to expand tourism and visitor accommodation options.

The strategy aims to protect agricultural land, encourage its productive use and reduce the potential for land-use conflicts, and review opportunities to promote local rural produce including an interpretive map for roadside stalls.

Council will investigate delivering a range of housing opportunities, including secondary dwellings and detached dual occupancy possible on rural properties of at least 10 hectares and 40 hectares respectively, and increase clarity and flexibility in the planning system through a range of initiatives including working more closely with rural landowners, and a review permissible land uses in some rural zones.

“This Rural Land Strategy marks a wonderful opportunity and exciting time in the history of our rural land policy and I look forward to working alongside the community and being part of this progressive change over the coming years,” Mayor Milne said.

Are you eligible for free solar?

- Hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or a Department of Veteran Affairs Gold Card A 3kW system is designed to generate an average of 12.6kwh per day, which will deliver electricity savings depending on each households energy consumption.

Tweed Shire Councillors voted to adopt the Rural Land Strategy last week

by Council but the detached dual occupancy changes that TRSA sought on your behalf were rejected

by Council even though that it was stated by one of the councillors that if TRSA was able to get 500 signatures on a petition then Council would have to sit up and take notice,” Mr Hammill said.

“TRSA would like to thank Councillors Allsop, Polglase and Owen for their stance against a draft RLS that was adopted without total transparency.”

In a media statement, Mayor Katie Milne said the decision to adopt the strategy came after the draft document was on public exhibition for almost a year and followed “extensive drafting and consultation with the community and stakeholders”.

According to Council, the Rural Land Strategy seeks to balance both the needs for security in operating agricultural businesses and providing income generating opportunities without the need to work off-farm; protecting the environment and important extractive resources; and, to provide greater housing opportunities without destroying the essential character of the Tweed.

“We want agricultural and rural activities to exist in harmony with protecting and enhancing our environmental and scenic values,” Mayor Milne said.

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL LOCAL landholders have slammed the approval of the Rural Land Strategy (RLS) by a majority vote from Tweed Shire Councillors on Thursday, May 7, labelling the engagement process a “failure” and one which “failed to understand the challenges of rural landholders”.

The Weekly has followed the development of the Rural Land Strategy for many years with several groups founded in a bid to have their views considered as part of the important document.

The Rural Land Strategy 2020 to 2036 is a blueprint to enhance the character of the Tweed’s rural areas, support agriculture and industry, and create employment opportunities through innovation, value-adding and diversification.

The document also sets out what can and cannot be developed across rural land and many landholders felt the document did not go far enough with calls to allow for secondary detached dwellings on all rural lots.

Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association President Colin Brooks has spent the past seven years and many thousands of dollars attempting to communicate his views to Council.

“At no time was I ever asked for my input into what should be included in the RLS,” Mr Brooks told The Weekly.

“Guidelines (which were too restrictive) were prepared and consultants were hired to do the background research for the RLS only to have some of their key recommendations ignored.

Claims some employers rorting JobKeeper payments “With the exception of a very rare few, most people I know have been asked by their employer to do extra hours to make up to the amount of their JobKeeper wage, even in the cases that they were not doing that many hours in the first instance,” the employee, who did not want to be named, said.

“There’s a lot going around about employers threatening to cut hours or let go of their employees.

“I’ve heard of false contracts and I’ve heard of employers asking that the employee pays wages out of their own pocket in circumstances that they cannot attend a shift that ‘makes up’ their hours.”

The worker said that most people seemed to be complying with these illegal requests.

“This payment was introduced by the government to keep employers and their staff connected, to keep small businesses open, to keep the everyday worker in a job,” the employee said.

“Instead all I’ve seen is it causing confusion and anxiety in the workplace.

“And unfortunately, a lot of people comply with the unfair requests made by the employer for fear of losing their job now or in the future.”

The Fair Work Ombudsman has said employers could not push staff to increase their hours in return for receiving the payment.

“If a qualifying employer wants to ask an eligible employee to work additional hours (in excess of their ordinary hours) while the employer is receiving JobKeeper payments, the usual requirements in the Fair

Work Act apply,” the Ombudsman recently told the media.

“If the only reason for a request to work additional hours is to ‘match’ the amount of the JobKeeper payment, that is not likely to be reasonable.

“An employee can refuse a request to work unreasonable additional hours.

“Employers must also comply with any other terms and conditions of employment that apply to the employee (for example under an award, enterprise agreement or employment contract).

“This could include overtime or other penalty rates for extra hours worked.”

The Weekly also heard of cases in the Tweed Shire of employees being asked to share their JobKeeper payment with other staff members who did not qualify for JobKeeper, such as temporary visa holders excluded by the scheme.

Under the Fair Work Commission JobKeeper legislation, an employer can’t ask an employee to share their $1,500 payment with other staff, including ineligible employees like workers on visas and short-term casuals.

Also under the legislation, “Employers can’t ask their eligible employee to pay a fee or pay part of their wage (including in cash) to access the JobKeeper scheme”.

Being asked to give back part of the JobKeeper payment or share it, is considered fraud under the JobKeeper legislation.

The Treasury Department has said there would be zero tolerance for

Unemployed workers

employers or employees who did the wrong thing.

“An entity that does not comply with its obligations in relation to the JobKeeper Payment is also potentially liable for a wider range of significant administrative and criminal sanctions under the tax law and general criminal law,” a department fact sheet says.

“These penalties will not affect entities that act honestly and with reasonable care.

“However, entities that seek to abuse the scheme, especially those that seek to engage in fraud, will face penalties commensurate with the seriousness of their conduct.”

V i s i t s t o t h e Fa i r Wo r k Commission website and hotline have doubled since the JobKeeper payments began.

United Workers Union National Secretary Tim Kennedy told The Weekly they were “seeing many employers in the hospitality industry doing what they can to support staff and maximise the number of people who they keep in jobs.

“However, our members who do qualify for JobKeeper are reporting instances of it being used as an

By Jo Kennett WHILE MOST employers are doing the right thing as they navigate the JobKeeper payment system, there have been claims that some vulnerable employees are being asked to submit to requests which are illegal and fraudulent.

Businesses are eligible for JobKeeper if they have had a reduction in turnover of at least 30 per cent and 50 per cent for businesses over $1 billion turnover.

All employees are eligible for the flat-rate payments unless they’re visa workers, full-time school students or casual employees who have been with their employer for less than 12 months.

The Weekly has spoken to several local employers who have done all they could to keep as many of their staff employed as possible, with some confessing to experiencing deep anguish at having to lay off workers.

However, The Weekly has also spoken to workers at a number of businesses which are receiving JobKeeper payments and found, in some cases, workers are being asked to perform hours to match the JobKeeper payment despite that being illegal.

In many of these cases the employees had other commitments, some of them full-time, such as study or caring for children who were working from home due to the coronavirus, but have complied to the requests because they worried they would be fired if they said no.

One employee the Weekly spoke to was asked to work extra hours in the service industry.

“Hundreds more residents are utilising our wonderful online library service now and our museum and art gallery are doing great work in putting their work online too.

“It will be interesting to see if staff are keen to keep working from home or prefer to be back in the office.”

Mayor Milne also outlined her hopes post coronavirus and whether life should return to normal.

“There is great hope and prospects that life can be better than before,” she said.

“We have all learnt deep and important lessons in valuing our health and in caring for each other at a community-wide scale.

“We have also learnt that we can make enormous change in the face of disaster.”

Mayor Milne said the Tweed Shire needs to translate this into our response to the climate emergency.

“So we don’t just carry on as normal when this is over,” she said.

“We need to treat our environment with the same level of respect as COVID-19 to minimise the risk of more catastrophes.”

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council Mayor Katie Milne has thanked the community for their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic but says a need to remain vigilant could last until a vaccine is available.

Mayor Milne said the community has done an “absolutely fantastic job” in keeping our COVID-19 cases low.

“I wish to thank everyone for their great efforts,” she said.

“Even when restrictions start to ease, we will still need to be extremely vigilant though to keep our community as safe as possible.

“The practises of physical distancing and hygiene will still be very important so I imagine businesses and community will need to keep such measures in place at least until we have a vaccine.”

The Weekly put several questions to Mayor Milne including changes to Tweed Shire Council and what these changes might look like post coronavirus.

“Council has undertaken a technology revolution in the way it has set up staff and Councillors to work from home and in

Stay vigilant despite ease in restrictions SOME RESTRICTIONS may be being eased in NSW from this Friday, May 15, but residents are being urged to stay vigilant to prevent the spead of COVID-19.

The changes come as the Tweed has reported no new cases of COVID-19 in several weeks.

As of Friday, residents can attend outdoor gatherings of up to ten people, cafes and restaurants can seat ten patrons at a time, households can have up to five visitors, weddings can have up to 10 guests, indoor funerals can have up to 20 attendees indoors and 30 outdoors, religious places of worship can have 10 people, outdoor equipment such as playgrounds can be used with caution and outdoor pools can open with restrictions.

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller is reminding everyone their actions and behaviour may impact timing for the next stages.

“When Premier Berejiklian outlined the upcoming changes to COVID-19 restrictions in NSW, she included a very important message – our way forward depends on you,” Commissioner Fuller said.

“I’ve been overwhelming pleased with community compliance. With 187 charges laid and 1212 penalty infringement notices (PINs) issued out of eight million residents, I feel that the community understands the risks of this virus and the role we all must play in protecting each other.”

“I would really like to see not only Council elections go online, but I would like to see state and federal and include the opportunity for referendums to perhaps be more frequent given the virtual financial easing of conducting this type of survey electronically.”

The Weekly asked Cr Allsop what his hopes are post COVID-19? And whether he believes life should return to normal?

“I’d like to see big reforms for Australia, we need to be conscious that Australia should not be overwhelmed with restrictions and the feel of “big brother” is watching,” he said.

“Australia should do more of its own manufacturing, every person I have raised the issue with has supported the ideal that we return to being more self-reliant as a nation.

“We need fair trade and not free trade.

Considering our “environment” in that we create and manufacture with consideration of creating less waste, build for things to last and look at costs across the entire life span.

“Tweed can only play a limited roll but as we import from across the world we could do so across our continent.

“I personally think we should analyse normal and perhaps refine it into a more sustainable more rounded future for the long term.

“Families spending less time travelling to work and school and more time enjoying life with their loved ones.”

Cr Allsop described the pandemic slow down as “like a step back in time to some extent”.

“It will be interesting in nine months to see is we have a new COVID-19 boom generation of children entering our world,” he said.

“There are thousands of positive ways the future could unfold that I can see.”

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor Pryce Allsop says the future of Council’s business model could undergo major changes in a postcoronavirus world, but many may be for the better as the Tweed Shire becomes a “highly sought after” tourism location.

The Weekly put several questions to Cr Allsop including whether he believes the Tweed Shire will need to change once the COVID-19 concerns have eased.

“I have considered and wondered what our Tweed Shire will look like going forward,” he said.

“It seems to create more questions than can be answered. If we were to defeat the virus within the Australian shores. I guess we could safely return to what we consider a more normal existence.

“Australian-based tourism could be part of that, visitation and internal migration to the Tweed will be highly sought after.

“Tweed is a desirable location for so many reasons. The question is of course the state of the Australian economy which is reduced as the world economy is affected, then this might not be so exciting.

“Yes, I think we will see change. This experience should sharpen us all up.

“It has been stressful for many but there has been a lot of positive realisation come from the COVID-19 education.”

Cr Allsop said he believes Council will undergo some major changes including some which could benefit the core business model.

“Yes, I think there will be changes to the organisation, it’s early to be making calls on just what will happen,” he said.

“I believe there is scope for some employees that could work days between Council’s office facilities and home.

“Reducing traffic and fuel expenditure is a positive. Electronic meetings to remain as an option for improved efficiency for staff, councillors and the community.

Nurses do traditional rounds for Nurses Day

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH HOSPITAL N u r s e s h av e c e l e b r a t e d International Day of the Nurse (May 12) and International Day of the Midwife (May 5) by returning to the traditions of old by dressing up as a traditional matron and doing the rounds on Tuesday, May 12.

Murwillumbah Hospital Executive Officer Director of Nursing, Darleen Berwick, provided The Weekly with an update from the ward including a celebration for Florence Nightingale.

“2020 marks the 200th Birthday of our trailblazer Florence Nightingale, and as such has been dedicated as the International Year of the Nurse,” Ms Berwick said.

She said nurses and midwives are the cornerstone of our healthcare

Sister Richter and Matron

system and provide skilled, compassionate care around the clock.

“Nursing is a wonderful profession and a privilege to provide care to vulnerable individuals from all walks and at all stages of their lives,” she said.

Ms Berwick said there has been many reports acknowledging the efforts of healthcare workers naming them as “heroes”, but she said nurses are uncomfortable with this title.

“We do not see ourselves as heroes – this is business as usual for us,” she said.

“You could speak to any nurse anywhere and they will tell you “nursing is not just a job, it is an inner calling driven by a desire to serve others”.

“Murwillumbah Hospital is a very special place to work,” she said.

“We are one big family here. We take great pride in, and remain very dedicated to, providing the highest quality, compassionate care to our wonderful community, and would like to thank the community for their ongoing support.”

Ms Berwick also provided The Weekly with an insight into nursing during a pandemic.

“Nurses play a pivotal role during a pandemic,” she said.

“A s f r o n t l i n e h e a l t h c a r e professionals, nurses are key s t a ke h o l d e r s i n d eve l o p i n g and implementing policies and procedures regarding standards

of care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At Murwillumbah District Hospital, the senior nurse leaders have been planning a coordinated response to provide care in an environment that meets the needs of the community and protects the patients, employees, volunteers and visitors.

“We have implemented many infectious disease prevention strategies designed to identify possible sources and prevent coronavirus from spreading quickly within the hospital setting.

“Nursing staff face the threat headon. Every day they are interacting with individuals who may be infected with or who are carrying the virus.

“As such, the nursing staff need not only to care for their patients but also need to be careful to protect themselves and their loved ones.”

Ms Berwick said nursing has changed markedly throughout the years.

“Those of us who have been nursing for many years have seen many changes in processes, t e c h n o l og y, t re at m e n t s a n d complexity of health issues,” he said.

“Staff reflected this morning on matron rounds.

“The matron would round on staff, checking the tidiness and cleanliness of the ward, orientation of pillows and the wheels on the bed, hospital corner folds on the bed linen, the bedding was turned back in a certain

Matron and Sister Havell doing the rounds

way with the bottom sheet so taut you could bounce a coin off it.

“Nursing staff would stand to attention in the presence of the matron and most patients laid straight in their beds when the matron was present.”

Mrs Berwick said Theo Van-Bael remembers when he commenced at Murwillumbah as a surgical dresser

the Director of Nursing would have meals delivered as a silver service”.

“Sadly, this service is no longer available,” she said.

YOUR THOUGHTS: If you would like to send our nurses and midwives a message, or maybe you have received health care recently, The Weekly would love to hear from you.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

84382

Talking

Following the positive ‘flattening of the curve’ it looks like we will go back to our ‘normal’ life sooner than expected and pick up life where we left off, as if the Covid 19 pandemic was a nightmare from which we can now awake.

This prospect has made me think about the idea of time travel and one movie came to mind: Back to the Future. I had seen and enjoyed it when it first came out in 1985, so I thought it was time to watch it again. And I must say that it has not lost any of its appeal – it is really very funny and a joy to watch.

The story revolves around Marty, a 17-year-old regular American kid – not very disciplined at school, dreaming of becoming a rock-star, falling in love for the first time, etc. – but has weird parents and a very eccentric friend, the mad scientist Doc Brown. Doc has invented a time-travel car and by accident Marty ends up 30 years into the past, where he meets his parents before they knew each other and becomes the love interest of his mother-to-be..!

Obviously Marty has to find a way to get back to his own future before he is erased from history, with the help of young Doc who is not yet aware that he will invent a time-travel machine one day in the future.

The whole movie is incredibly funny and suspenseful at the same time, with a wonderful chemistry between all the cast, most notably Michael J. Fox in the role of Marty and Christopher Lloyd as Doc, who looks a bit like a mad Albert Einstein. Apparently Lloyd did take inspiration from the great scientist for his role. Another character – the one of Biff, the bully – apparently was inspired by Donald Trump at the time…

The atmosphere of 1955 is well recreated, highlighting some of the characteristics of the era like the suburban expansion of the cities, the birth of rock-and-roll, and even the beginning of the skateboarding culture. The film began a franchise including two sequels, an animated series, a theme park ride, several video games, a series of comic books, and a stage musical. If you want to have fun while pondering the philosophical implications of picking up life after the pandemic, this film is for you..!

By Jonathon Howard CONCERNS THAT unlawful tree lopping and dumping in the Tweed River are taking place on the South Murwillumbah riverbank near McMillian Street, have been quashed this week with Tweed Shire Council stating the rehabilitation of the site is all above board.

Council’s Waterways Program Leader Tom Alletson responded to concerns from local resident Paul Gilmour, who told The Weekly he was concerned that trees were being cut down and pushed into the river placing rivers users at risk.

Mr Alletson responded to the concerns and said the site is under construction

by Council following severe erosion from the 2017 flood and it is complying with all the requirements.

“Council secured a grant to rehabilitate the riverbank in the area and the project has been through all relevant approval processes,” he said.

“The trees that have been removed are camphor laurel and no approval is required to remove limited numbers of these.

“We have also been treating weeds on the site for several months in preparation for large scale revegetation with natives.”

Mr Gilmour said he was concerned there appears to be no boom in the water to stop acid sulphate soils being washed down river.

“Timber has been pushed down to where tidal influence (and flood levels) will dislodge timbers sending them down river resulting in possible personal injury and property damage to boats and infrastructure,” Mr Gilmour said.

“At possible risk are rowers, fishermen and those undertaking water sports.

Images of the riverbank restoration above had raised some concerns

“When I removed a tree from my riverbank, I had to hire a crane and an arbourer to ensure all timbers were not dropped in the river.”

In response, Mr Alletson said there are “no acid sulfate soils on site” as well as confirming a silt boom is in place on the riverbank.

“A silt boom is in use on site,” Mr Alletson said.

“The cut batters have also been covered with geotextile cloth immediately after disturbance to minimise erosion/silt generation if it rains.

“Within several days topsoil will be respread on the cut batters and reseeded, and then covered with a coir netting to further assist in soil stabilisation before being replanted with native trees.

“The bank is also being fenced to prevent cattle access.”

Mr Alletson said several camphor trees have been cut and placed at the toe of the bank.

“Large timber pins will be driven into the bank to secure these,” he said.

“This will provide some cover for fish and assist in trapping silt to further stabilise the bank toe. There are already several large camphors in the river in the location that have fallen in due to erosion.”

Mr Alletson said the land is a combination of Council and State Government land, but Council is also working closely with the adjacent landowner.

“Funding is a combination of Council and NSW Government funding,” he said.

“Waterskiing/wakeboarding is actually allowed immediately adjacent to the site and the restrictions commence a short distance upstream.”

Peter McDonald elected president of the Tweed River Ag Society

By Jonathon Howard FOLLOWING IN the footsteps of his late father John Kenny “Ken” McDonald OAM, passionate Tweed Shire local Peter McDonald has been named the President of the Tweed River Agricultural Society (TRAS) this month.

Mr McDonald follows a long line of tradition for the McDonald family, who have played an integral role in livestock and agriculture across the Tweed Shire for more than 100 years.

Mr McDonald said he was excited to head up the Society which is both dear to his heart and holds a lot of family significance.

“Our family brand, like many other local families, is up there on the branding rail,” he said.

“It’s an honour to be elected the new President of the Tweed River Agricultural Society and I am looking forward to a bright future ahead.”

Mr McDonald, who owns and operates MacFinancial Group, comes from a long line of farmers and is a third generation on the land.

“Through all generations, many have been involved in a variety of aspects of the annual Murwillumbah Show,” he said.

“My late father was a longstanding president of TRAS and was once a dairy farmer, Jersey breeder and showed in the breed and fat cattle rings and sugar cane.

“My uncle, Pat, continues to breed and show Jersey cattle at the very highest levels, and my brother Michael competes with his sugar cane.”

Mr McDonald has been a board member of TRAS in the past.

“I have been Ringmaster at Murwillumbah Show for many years, a volunteer position I was no doubt invited into because of my lifetime interest in all things equestrian,” he said.

He said he was looking forward to working with the new TRAS Board to honour 120 years of tradition that is rolled into the annual Murwillumbah Show.

Although the coronavirus has put many events on hold, the Murwillumbah Show remains tentatively scheduled for the first weekend in November.

“I am aiming to be proactive in considering new ideas and complementary activities that can keep the local Show relevant in years to come,” he said.

He said TRAS is blessed to have the use of one of the most picturesque Showgrounds in Australia as the venue for its annual Murwillumbah Show “with Mount Warning as an imposing backdrop and a well maintained and manicured ground”.

“TRAS is grateful to Murwillumbah Showground Land Managers for the ongoing upkeep and presentation of the showground facilities,” he said.

“These grounds and facilities are the envy of most Show Societies along the east coast of Australia.

“TRAS is passionate about Murwillumbah and surrounds, connecting with the local community and seeing the Tweed region thrive.”

Mr McDonald said the local Show is very much the hub of where town meets country.

Tweed River Agricultural Society President Peter McDonald is ready to take the helm

“Our Show exhibits the absolute best of local produce, livestock and businesses that this magnificent and fertile valley has to offer,” he said.

“The new TRAS Board wish to build on what has already been established over the years and reach out to all sectors of the community, encouraging them to become involved with their local Show.”

“TRAS will be seeking ways to embrace new ideas and to evolve and remain relevant to our community, while maintaining the agricultural heart that is conveyed via all regional Shows.” “ I wo u l d l i ke t o t a ke t h e opportunity to recognise the hard

work, commitment and dedication of all those past committees that have kept the Tweed River Agricultural Society actively engaged with our community for the past 120 years.”

“It is truly remarkable, and something that we as a community can all be extremely proud of.”

“I am also excited that we currently have a committed and cohesive Board – some old members, some new members – who all share a passion to keep Murwillumbah Show one of the best in the region.”

Mr McDonald said the Board remains hopeful and is actively planning for the Murwillumbah

Show to occur in November this year.

“But of course, we will be respectful of all government decisions and regulations and take guidance from the Australian Show Council in this regard,” he said.

“The Murwillumbah Show has a history of 120 years of community participation and commitment.”

“Generations of local families have given their time and expertise to assisting TRAS to put on an annual Show.”

“There are hundreds of unsung heroes that have carried the Show from 1890 through to 2020.”

By Jo Kennett THERE IS hope this week that some of the valuable memorabilia stored in the Cudgen Leagues Club has survived the fire which saw much of the building gutted on Monday, May 4.

The club was used as a base for many community organisations and was also used to store memorabilia from the Kingscliff RSL sub-branch, the Kingscliff Rotary Club as well as football photos dating back to 1921.

There were grave concerns last week that some items, particularly memorabilia from WWI, WWII and the Vietnam War may have been lost, however club members have been told that at least some of the items may have survived intact.

The club’s Secretary Manager Nathan Kerr said insurers were in the building doing remediation work.

“They are getting the memorabilia out to be cleaned up and returned to the club,” Mr Kerr told The Weekly.

“I’m not sure what survived but the RSL stuff is reportedly pretty well intact but it’s obviously soiled with fire remnants and what not.

“I believe most of the footy photos are okay as well but we are not entirely sure.”

Mr Kerr said the damage was being assessed as well.

“The loss adjusters and mediators are in there and they have a demolition team doing a soft strip back to assess damage to the structure and that’s as much as I know at the moment,” he said.

Mr Kerr said the club’s staff had qualified for the JobKeeper payment.

“Before the fire when we were closed with the virus we were just working on grants and funding to keep our staff going with JobKeeper and we are all set with that,” Mr Kerr said.

“Obviously this week they have announced a slow reopening of restaurants.

“Our staff would have returned to work to do the bottle shop and home delivery but obviously we won’t be able to do that now.”

Mr Kerr said they had received a lot of support from the local community in the wake of the fire.

“We are feeling optimistic about rebuilding,” he said.

Tweed Byron LAC Police Chief Inspector Mick Dempsey said the police investigation into the cause of the fire was continuing.

Fire has devastated the Cudgen Leagues Club, but some of the valuable items inside may have survived. Please note the image (inset) above is of Cudgen Leagues Club President Peter McConnell and was incorrectly captioned last week (May 7)

Cabarita resort back on the market

By Jo Kennett THE HIDEAWAY glamping resort at Cabarita Beach has opened to expressions of interest after two off-market offers on the property were received by the syndicate of owners.

The site, formerly the Cabarita Beach Caravan Park, was sold to the group on July 23 last year.

After extensive modifications, The Hideaway opened as a high-end camping resort in October 2019.

Last year was the first time the property had changed hands in 46 years, and nine months later the 2.8-hectare block is once again on the market.

Director of LJ Hooker Kingscliff, Nick Witheriff, said the syndicate didn’t need to sell but had opened to expressions of interest after receiving two off-market offers of $6 million for the resort.

“The sellers are a group of investors, a syndicate of owners, and they have been approached by two separate buyers who have put in offers off-market,” Mr Witheriff said.

“To ensure it is fair to the group of sellers, the investors have decided to put it on the market and have everyone given the chance to buy it.

“They don’t need to sell it but it’s just because of the approaches they have decided to put it up.”

Mr Witheriff said there had also been an approach from Tweed Coast Holiday Parks since the property went on the market on Saturday, May 2.

“We have actually had some interest from Tweed Coast Holiday Parks, which is owned by Council, in buying the property and possibly continuing to use it as a holiday park,” he said.

“We also have local and interstate investors interested in running the business as is and we have interest from Australian developers and investors for higher and better use in the future but at the moment they are talking about continuing to use it as is.

Cabarita’s Hideaway resort is on the market

“We would love to see the town left as it is and the environment taken care of and that is what we are hoping will happen.”

Mr Witheriff said the property had a lot to offer.

“It’s a unique concept in a great location,” he said.

“It’s Australia’s number one glamping site at Australia’s number one beach so it provides a fantastic opportunity for tourists and visitors to what has been regarded as Australia’s number one setup.

“Our priority is to get the best deal for the owners but also to see the environment is taken care of and to ensure we are able to continue to enjoy the amenities on site as locals who have lived here for a long time.

“That’s why they are doing the expressions of interest.”

Mr Witheriff said it was his hope that if someone purchased the property it would continue to operate as The Hideaway.

“The Hideaway is run by a separate entity and they pay the owners a leasing fee,” he said.

“I’m sure they’re keen to see it continue.

“At the end of the day there is a lot of uncertainty and it hasn’t been easy times but there are about $800,000 worth of improvements on the site and it would be a shame to see it demolished.

“It would be wonderful to see the site kept in its current form.”

String inverter or micro-inverter: which to choose?

By Fabien Prevost THE HEART of each photovoltaic installation contains a photovoltaic inverter which transforms the energy collected by the solar panels into usable electricity.

However, there are two main categories of inverters whose differences are little known: string inverters and microinverters.

In order to help you understand and choose your equipment well, we will study the major differences, advantages and disadvantages of both types of equipment.

String inverter

In the case of a solar system connected to the grid, the string inverter is connected at the end of series of solar panels. There is only one inverter for all the panels.

The advantage to string inverters is the price. This type of system with a single inverter limits the overall investment cost compared to a system equipped with a micro-inverter for every panel.

This is the most suited system for most well exposed roofs.

The downside, however, is its production. The string inverter does not produce less, but in the event of a panel failure or shading event, the entire string of panels suffers in output.

Indeed, the serial connection reflects the possible technical failure of a panel on the other panels of the same chain.

So, if any panel in the string is adversely impacted that no longer produces full capacity or zero, the whole string is impacted.

By example, the final consumption of the kit of 10 solar panels (in a string) may therefore be only 10 per cent of its capacities here, that is a loss of 90 per cent of production.

Rainbow Power Company break down the differences between string and micro inverters

Micro-inverter

In the case of a solar system equipped with micro-inverters, each panel is connected to one micro-inverter.

There are therefore several microinverters and the panels are no longer connected in series but instead the microinverters are connected in parallel.

Each panel being connected to its own micro-inverter.

The advantage of this is guaranteed and optimised production. In fact, in the event of a panel failure, the other panels always produce optimally.

Having electricity distributed between each panel or pair of panels ensures optimal production of the entire system.

By example, the final consumption of the kit of 10 solar panels can therefore be ensured here at 90 per cent of its capacity such as a loss of 10 per cent of production.

Panel level monitoring on an individual basis also ensures early fault detection.

In addition, micro-inverters are recommended for small installations because the least powerful string inverters generally start from 1500W (six panels).

Micro-inverters also allow an easy upgrade of your system, indeed, microinverters allow you to add panels to your installation at any time, without having to re-string the whole system.

The downside: the price, because there are more inverters compared to the string inverter system and micro-inverter technology is also more advanced, the price is felt.

It’s up to you to choose your formula with these elements in mind. Price should not be the only factor. Think long term.

Rainbow Power Company are still doing site inspections, keeping the recommended social distancing.

This is the perfect time to start thinking about your power needs for the future, reducing your bills, and safeguarding against future power outages, so call today and get in before the oncoming solar rush.

Team Koala Headquarters underway

By Jonathon Howard TEAM KOALA volunteers have banded together to help construct the first Team Koala Headquarters in Murwillumbah helping cement the not-for-profit organisation’s future.

Team Koala president Jenny Hayes has nominated her home in Murwillumbah as the site of the headquarters with volunteers doing the hard work to erect the new facility.

“For a long time I’ve been running Team Koala from my bedroom,” Ms Hayes told The Weekly.

“I’ve gathered an amazing array of things from residents over the 11 years of Team Koala.

“So, I thought it was about time we developed a headquarters.”

Fortunately, many of the Team Koala volunteers and supporters have building skills to help with construction.

“I want to thank our amazing volunteers for their time and a big thank you to JH Williams for delivering some of the crucial building materials for the project,” she said.

Mrs Hayes said the headquarters was being built from scratch and was not a prefabricated shed.

“I’d really like to thank our volunteers including Alex Dale our lead builder, Eva Robinson, Simon Dawson, Max Barnard and Maria Smart.”

Team Koala volunteers are hard at work on the headquarters

ITV supports Poets Out Loud Coronavirus scams on the rise

By Jonathon Howard FUNDING FROM ITV’s Tweed Community Initiative fund of $1,900 will enable local group, Poets Out Loud, to film their Youth Slam Program for online publishing during Youth Week this month.

The grant will also provide training for poet mentors and access for people with disability.

Poets Out Loud is a collective of poets, writers and spoken-word artists from the Tweed Shire.

Founded on the belief that poetry is for everyone, Poets Out Loud provide a safe and inclusive platform for writers to share and develop their work.

Poets Out Loud is convened by Sarah Temporal, a performance poet and poetry educator.

“The group’s Youth Program in 2020 will offer workshops for young people aged 12-24 to express their story through the creation of a slam poem,” she said.

“Secondary schools, youth and community groups will be invited to participate.

“These voices will then be showcased in a Youth Poetry Slam event, to be held in the Tweed region during Youth Week 2020.”

In January 2019, Ms Temporal initiated an open mic poetry night in partnership with the M-Arts precinct and Bacaro.

The event attracts 50-70 attendees per month and has hosted dozens of readers from beginners to professionals.

With support from sponsors, the group also offers paid feature performances, run a bimonthly poetry slam, and sell and promote members’ publications.

Poets Out Loud hope to reach up to 200 young people through their workshops, and support many of them to enter the Youth Poetry Slam.

More info on the Poets Out Loud Youth Program will be available on Poets Out Loud Murwillumbah Facebook page.

CORONAVIRUS SCAMS have skyrocketed in the past month with a reported 2,000 scams now circulating and Tweed Shire residents need to follow some simple steps to avoid being duped.

Scamwatch has received more than 2,000 coronavirus-related scam reports and more than $700,000 in reported losses since the coronavirus pandemic.

Common scams include phishing for personal information, online shopping and superannuation scams.

Phone scams, including text message scams, are among the most common and include scammers pretending to be government agencies phishing for your personal information.

The best advice you can take to protect yourself is never hand out personal information, according to Scamwatch, which is funded by the Federal Government.

“If you have been scammed or have seen a scam, you can make a report on the Scamwatch website, and find more information about where to get help,” a Scamwatch spokesperson said in a media statement.

“Scamwatch urges everyone to be cautious and remain alert to coronavirus-related scams.

“Scammers are hoping that you have let your guard down.

“Do not provide your personal, banking or superannuation details to strangers who have approached you.”

Scammers may pretend to have a connection with you making it vital that you stop and check, even when you are approached by what you think is a trusted organisation.

Tips to protect yourself from scams 1. Do not click on hyperlinks in text/social media messages or emails, even if it appears to come from a trusted source. Do not trust social media posts or claims that are too good to be true – they are almost always untrue.

2. Go directly to the website through your internet browser. For example, to reach the MyGov website type ‘my.gov.au’ into your browser. Again, do not trust links via social media or posts from social media.

3. Never respond to unsolicited messages and calls that ask for personal or financial details, even if they claim to be a from a reputable organisation or government authority – just press delete or simply hang up. You can always call the organisation yourself and double check.

4. Check the Scamwatch website. This is an invaluable source of anti-scam research that is designed to combat scammers.

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL Death is nothing at all.

It does not count.

I have only slipped away into the next room.

Nothing has happened.

Put no difference into your tone.

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Everything remains exactly as it was.

I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.

Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.

Call me by the old familiar name.

Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolute and unbroken continuity.

What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.

All is well.

Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.

One brief moment and all will be as it was before.

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey IN THE aftermath of the fire that engulfed Cudgen Leagues Club last week, the sense of disbelief at the devastation that occurred continues amongst the club members.

Bowlers, both men and women, are particularly suffering with the ginormity of the destruction and loss they are faced with.

Over the years since Cudgen Leagues Bowling Clubs first commenced activities, men’s club early 1986 and women’s November 26, 1986, members have certainly amassed a wonderful history of

successes on the greens, not only at club level but also at district and state events.

The latest of these conquests being by the ladies who won the 2019 Grade 2 District Pennant and then went on to win the Regional Pennant competition to secure a berth in the State Pennants Finals.

Even though access to the club has been declared ‘off limits’ at present, it is quite evident, from a distance, that the bowlers lounge overlooking the greens has been totally destroyed and the bowls office is completely gutted as well.

A CONTEST of a difference occurred over the last few months, with virtual NSW Web Titles up for grabs.

The Ocean and Earth NSW Junior Web Surfing Titles hosted divisions for U18 male, U18 female, U16 male, U16 female, U14 male, U14 female, U12 male and U12 female.

Competitors uploaded one clip of their best wave surfed in NSW in 2020 within the competition period Monday, May 4, to Sunday May 10.

A very different concept, and a couple of local boys doing well, with Lachlan Arghros from Kingscliff scoring 3rd place in the under 12s, with Cabarita surfer Kyan Falvey also placing 3rd in the Under 16 boys.

To get 3rd is a great result with the huge numbers of clips submitted.

A little birdie has told me about a similar concept, which may involve some former pro surfers, details are coming soon, but it sounds pretty awesome with some of the talent invited - so watch this space!

“I’ve kinda been finding something to do everyday, like the other day we built a little skate ramp, so I have been skating a fair bit on that and I have a half pipe in the backyard too,” he said.

Dane has even has been reading and getting on the trampoline as well, another of modern surfers training equipment.

He’s pretty happy where he lives.

“Im pretty lucky to be able to walk to the beach at Fingal so have been making the most of what waves there have been at home,” he said.

A lot going on for the current Australian Under 14s Champion, not feeling any pressure from winning the title.

“Since the Aussies there hasn’t actually been that much more pressure on me than there was before, I have just been in the same mindset from before I won, just trying to have as much fun as I can in this time of the pandemic and trying to improve and get ready for when I come back,” he said.

He is a proud member of the Kingscliff Boardriders.

“It’s so awesome to be a part of Kingy Boardriders. I love going to the club rounds and just having fun with my mates and going against the local kids that don’t do as many comps as me, but still surf really well,” he said.

“It’s also good to be in the environment where it’s more fun than regular competition, and still

Thursday, May 14, 2020

Many bowlers have lost their bowls that were stored in the locker rooms which were also razed during the inferno.

Unfortunately, it would appear that treasured and historical memorabilia may also have been destroyed (see page 30).

A report on the greens indicates that green two (opposite the green keepers shed) has escaped totally unscathed. The keepers shed has also be declared 100-per-cent okay.

However, green one, even though the firies impeded on the area whilst carrying out their work, appears to be in reasonable condition although, what looks like singeing, is visible up to

Sport 47

The Cudgen Leagues bowlers lounge was devastated by fire recently

approximately two metres out from the bank.

Current investigations into the cause of the fire have been completed and a report sent to the insurers.

In the meantime, staff and members need to wait for approval from the authorities before

entering the building to determine what can be, if anything, salvaged.

The fight back spirit Cudgen Leagues bowlers display when ‘down’ on the green will, for sure, be seen again in the re-establishing of their club house.

Stay safe and healthy and be kind to each other.

Surfing video contest and catch up with local shredder Dane Henry

Q&A with under 14s Australian champion Dane Henry

Dane is a young kid from Fingal Head who surfs for Kingscliff Boardriders with style and flair of a much older surfer.

In lockdown as such, he has been surfing locally only and I’m amazed he wasn’t tempted to swim the river to Duranbah.

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

Dane Henry putting those backhand skills to good work. “Thanks dad!”

be able to get in the jersey and get scored.”

Dane was part of the Kingscliff Boardriders team competing at the Australian Boardriders Battle, just before lock down, and I asked him how it was performing at that level.

“Competing on the big stage was kind of scary, but also exciting when you see all of the people and the huge cameras they have set up,” he said.

“But it was such a good experience to be in front of a huge crowd and going up against the big boys.

“The pressure of competing for our club was pretty huge, up until when I was actually in the jersey almost paddling out.

“Then dad and Mitch James just said “go out and have fun”, and then I relaxed a bit and surfed my heat.

“The waves in Newcastle this year were firing and it was so good watching Australia’s best surfers ripping!”

I asked Dane who he considers his favourite surfer from Kingscliff Boardriders.

“Mitch James; he is so fast and flowing when he surfs and he reads waves so perfectly. He has really helped the grommets in the club as well,” he said.

Dane also credits his father as the biggest influence on his surfing, and also why his backhand is so strong, “Dad grew up in Raglan, in New Zealand on lefts for a lot of his life,” Dane said.

“He is a goofy footer so he pushes me to surf heaps of lefts with him and to get my back hand as good as it can get.

“I am so lucky to have a dad that rips ,so I can try and get better than him.”

Dane surfs Sharpeye Surfboards, shaped by Bredan Leckie, straight out of The Glass Lab factory at Tweed Heads.

“I can call in anytime to talk boards, we work really well together and my boards that he makes are amazing,” he said.

“I love riding Sharpeyes because they allow me to go real fast and also control my turns at high speed.”

Like every grommet, Dane’s dream is to have a crack at a World Title - but a few years down the track.

I would not doubt he could be knocking on the door. Pro Junior events, if they happen will be the next step for Dane.

See you in the waves.

Matthew Dunn Racing takes five wins from seven races at Tweed River Jockey Club

By Jonathon Howard STAR MURWILLUMBAH trainer Matthew Dunn has produced another stellar result at Tweed River Jockey Club, winning five of the seven racecard on Monday, May 11.

The Dunn stables is having a golden run in 2020 clocking up 89 winners so far, with more than seven weeks left in the racing season.

Matthew Dunn-trained horse Byron Buoy ran first in race two, Single Blonde won race three, Beyond Desire won race four, Ashman won race six and race seven was won by Triple the Fun. Port Macquarie jockey Belinda Hodder also had an exceptional day, riding three of the five winners for Dunn including Byron Buoy, Single Blonde and Triple the Fun, as well as running second in race one on Voodoo Crown, also trained by Dunn.

Speaking with The Weekly, Mr Dunn said he was “delighted” with the results and put the success down to his team.

“Hard work and having a good team behind us have been the key ingredients,” he said.

“We established a good team about three years ago and it’s just what we needed.”

Matthew Dunn Racing is this year celebrating its 10th year since it was established in Murwillumbah and Mr Dunn said the team have a chance to smash their previous race record.

“We’ve run 104 winners in a season before,” he said.

“But with seven to eight weeks left in the season there’s a chance we could match or exceed that.”

Mr Dunn said his team were forced to send horses to Sydney race events as the border closures have prevented entering Queensland.

Running in Sydney may have been the best decision yet for the

Dunn team as the results have been nothing short of outstanding.

“My wife Keira has been handling a lot of the Sydney racing schedule,” he said.

“It’s been great down there and we’re hoping to keep it up, I go down there every Thursday.”

Tweed River Jockey Club Chairman Bernie Quinn extended his congratulations to the Matthew Dunn Racing team.

Mr Quinn is this year celebrating 49 years at the helm of one of the best jockey clubs in the state and he is also the longest serving racing chairman in NSW. “It’s an outstanding result for Matthew and his team,” Bernie said.

“It will be even better when racing crowds can return to the Tweed River Jockey Club, but for now we remain in lockdown.”

Mr Dunn said he’s also recently employed more people to keep up with the busy Sydney racing schedule.
