“WE WILL REBUILD” TWEED SHIRE residents were shocked to learn that most of the Cudgen Leagues Club was damaged by fire on Monday, May 4, in what has become a tumultuous year for the iconic local club. But Cudgen Hornets President Mick Channells has vowed to rebuild and recover the site which contained many items of historical significance. An investigation is underway into the cause of the blaze.

(including Tweed Shire Councillors) working together to implement the Destination Management Plan so that sustainable and responsible tourism continues to add value to the local economy now and into the future.

“Cr Cooper’s perspective that budgeted expenditure on implementing the DMP is draining Tweed ratepayer funds without providing ongoing economic benefit to the region is simply not supported by the data available.”

Tweed Tourism Co (TTC) General Manager Brad Nardi said Cr Cooper has been a supporter of local tourism and “we always value his input”.

“With regard to the suggestion of further industries, we are supportive and believe that achieving a balance of industries will lead to the best outcomes for the region with regard to employment and economic outcomes,” Mr Nardi said.

“Tourism is vital to the Tweed, and visitor spend is new money introduced into the local economy which then flows through to businesses both directly and indirectly involved in tourism.

“It therefore supports a wide crosssection of the resident and business community, creating jobs, and supporting holiday experiences that locals can also enjoy, like events, tours, and our high quality restaurants.”

Mr Nardi said TTC agrees that a focus on marketing to overnight visitors is a priority with these visitors contributing more to Tweed’s economy.

“Our core recovery activity will focus on drive trails around food, art, nature and heritage to disperse visitors around the region and share the benefits of tourism across villages,” he said.

“Local business operators are ratepayers too, and they are also employers that are creating jobs. We have seen strong private investment in tourism in recent times with new distilleries, breweries, restaurants, touring product and galleries; and we want to ensure the belief that these business owners have placed in the Tweed is well supported.”

“The Federal Government is returning to the woefully inadequate Newstart payment in six months,” he said.

“This, together with the Tweed’s increasingly unaffordable rental market, is threatening a grim future for this group of workers.

“The Tweed already has several wellestablished and successful light industries that do not detract from our lifestyle and are not a drain on ratepayer funds.

“To benefit from government funding in support of a sovereign economy, future light industry will need to be agile and creative.”

Mount Warning Tours owner and operator Michael Simmons has responded to Cr Cooper’s comments and pointed to sustainable tourism in the Tweed as one of the most “important contributors to the economic growth and diverse character of the region”.

“Statistics from the Tweed Shire Council website demonstrate that tourism is a significant driver of the Tweed Shire’s economy, contributing an estimated $278 million to gross regional product to the region,” he said.

“Cr Cooper’s comments that tourism is a drain on ratepayers funds is also not borne out by statistics provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Tourism Satellite Account which is a separate set of national accounts which look at the value and contribution of tourism in the national economy.

“The Tweed dataset from the Tourism Satellite Account show that in 2018/19, the total tourism and hospitality sales in Tweed Shire was $576.1 million, the total value added via the visitor economy was $293.3 million.

“Cr Cooper also fails to acknowledge the fact that the true value of the visitor economy locally has historically been misrepresented because it actually includes parts of many different traditional industries.”

Mr Simmons said the recently adopted Destination Management Plan (DMP) for the Tweed recognises the importance of balanced and sustainable growth of the visitor economy in conjunction with local community aspirations and values.

“The Tweed Destination Management Plan was developed over time by Destination Tweed and through extensive consultation with local organisations such as the Tweed Experiences Network, visitor experience operators and community and industry stakeholders, before being implemented by the Tweed Tourism Co,” Mr Simmons said.

“A strategic approach to further developing sustainable tourism in the Tweed will require stakeholders

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor Ron Cooper said Council should refocus its priorities following the coronavirus pandemic in a bid to ensure the shire’s economy remains both stable and robust and “does not follow in the footsteps of Byron Bay”.

In a media statement, Cr Cooper said now was an ideal time for Council to review its spending priorities, including a switch to light industries, which he believes could better future proof the Tweed.

“Property owners, through their general rates, contribute to the maintenance and replacement of Council’s public assets such as road maintenance, public buildings, swimming pools, parks, beachside facilities, car parks, boardwalks, bikeways and walkways,” he said.

“Day-trippers do not contribute to financing these costs even though it imposes extra demands on these assets.

“They slowly drain ratepayers’ funds, and this will result in a deterioration of Council services to the existing residential and business communities.”

Cr Cooper said Byron Bay is a window to the Tweed’s future.

“Byron Shire Council is struggling with its road network,” he said.

“It has introduced parking meters to supplement its income and there is growing community complaints about short-term holiday letting and the disruption it causes to permanent residents.”

Cr Cooper said he remains a strong supporter of local tourism and he believes Council’s spending should remain as is in the sector.

“Tweed’s tourism will continue to grow, driven by our enviable qualities including lifestyle, natural environment, beaches, agricultural lands and mountains. It does not need ratepayers’ funds to force feed its growth,” he said.

“I am not advocating that existing tourism be wound back. However, tourism and retail jobs are heavily dependent on part-time and casual employees.

“These jobs are at the mercy of the ups and downs of the tourist industry – weekends, school holidays, annual sporting events and the odd public holiday and day-trippers.

“Hospitality and retail employees can easily find themselves in rental stress and facing the frightening prospect of homelessness.”

Cr Cooper said light industry could hold the key for a more stable local economy while supporting tourism.

Help our precious koalas

Last Sunday, the 3rd of May, was Wild Koala Day. This year was more important than ever, after the devastating bushfires, which caused up to 70 per cent loss of the koala population in some areas, on what was already a declining population.

It is hard not to love koalas. They are unique creatures, they are built for land but live up trees, they eat poisonous gum leaves and the word koala comes from the Indigenous language meaning no water.

However, due to climate change and droughts, we have seen our koalas seeking out water as they are not getting moisture from the leaves.

My love affair for koalas began as a small child reading my all time favourite book Blinky Bill, forever immersing myself in his world.

After reading all the horror stories about the koala’s decline, I decided I had to do something and began a group called Team Koala which was embraced by our beautiful community ten years ago.

Let’s make Wild Koala Day more than just a name. Let’s pledge to do something for our koalas. There are so many things we can do.

1. Create awareness with your friends 2. Plant more trees in wildlife corridors 3. Protect and create green corridors by calling Council who have a tremendous knowledge of where our koala corridors are 4. Join a Landcare group (there are many on the Tweed) 5.Push for more protection where our koalas cross roads (such as Clothiers Creek Road) and contact our local politicians by writing letters or calling them.

6. Support local koala groups and wildlife hospitals. It doesn’t have to be financial, it could also be physical help.

Let’s make 2020 the year to start improving for our precious Koalas.

Support independent outlets

Regarding your article on April 30, ‘Not all service stations are created equal’, the Liberty service station at 51 Tweed Valley Way, Murwillumbah, is a very small fuel outlet with very limited sales of other products and as your survey indicates is the cheapest in the whole Tweed Valley. In my opinion, this makes all other comments made to you by other suppliers contradictory and just not believable. I will continue to support the Liberty outlet while they keep doing the right thing and I hope more people also do the same.

Unfounded 5G paranoia

I’m over the paranoid emails and letters about the dangers of 5G. Low frequency 5G (600-700MHz) is no different to the current 4G mobile network.

High frequency 5G (25-39GHz) is only used in densely populated cities due to its speed and ability to service more mobiles, but it has difficulty penetrating solids such as cars, buildings, trees and people and has a short reception radius.

Most 5G will use medium frequency microwaves (2.5 to 5 GHz) which is the same as the ubiquitous home WiFi. Whereas these emit about 100mW, the 5G antennae emits around 10W, but the strength diminishes by distance squared, which means you would get the same amount of radiation at ten metres from a 5G antennae as from your WiFi at one metre. The dose at 100m is trivial.

Oxygen molecules emit high frequency microwaves, and the warmer they are the more they emit, which is how microwave sounding units on satellites determine the temperature of the lower troposphere. We are literally bathed in microwaves at numerous frequencies and the dose is almost always too small to matter. The fear of them is much more likely to harm your health.

Loanne Arnell, Kingscliff

House raising scheme unfair

How nice is it of Council to give taxpayer money away to foot two thirds of the bill for select homeowner’s to have their houses raised. Do we all not know it floods around here? Should it not be the homeowners responsibility to pay to raise their house if they chose to buy in a flood zone?

Everyone is affected when it floods as land shifts and slides everywhere causing unstable foundations, cracked and leaking roofs and all sorts of costly homeowner issues.

Homes on sloping blocks need rock walls and irrigation to keep from sliding and toppling over.

Having a house raised is a significant benefit for a homeowner - wouldn’t we all love a free cut of taxpayer money to improve our homes and protect it from flooding.

Council sent letters of eligibility to the chosen ones, too bad for the rest of us who have pay our own way.

The Tweed Voluntary House Raising Scheme is totally unfair, please go to Council or visit yoursaytweed. com.au before June 10 to put an end to this. We all deserve a lift to help against the effects of flooding T Payer, Tweed

Rego should be looked at

With reference to the article last week, ‘Calls for rego reprieve’, where it was stated that NSW Labor is calling upon State Government to review vehicle registration during this current crisis. I have approached my local state member without a reasonable reply. I am a self-funded retiree living on a income stream much lower than it was a few years ago because of fallen investment interest rates. At the moment caravan parks and rest areas are all closed, so people like myself who have a caravan or motorhome have a vehicle sitting at home not being able to be used for its intended purpose.

A review of expensive registration would not go astray at this particular time, even extending their current policy would be sensible until these vehicles can be used.

James Williams, Tweed Heads

Lucky to have our hospitals

On May 2, I had a nasty fall down two metres onto concrete which resulted in head injuries. I was rushed to Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency, where they treated and stemmed the bleeding immediately, before advising I needed to be transferred to The Tweed Hospital for a CT. Even though both emergency wards were very busy, all procedures were performed within a few hours, and I am in awe of the efficiency, kindness and compassion given to me by all the health care workers, especially at this time.

We are very fortunate to have these hospitals, and all who work there in the Tweed area, and as with many others, am extremely annoyed at our elected politicians who make promises before elected and once back in parliament and safe for a few years, recant on most promises and play political games to keep the NSW Government happy in Sydney.

Obviously one hospital is being quietly progressively stripped of its necessary utilities – and how long before the powers in charge start on the second hospital.

Over the last few years, trust for our political and public leaders has greatly diminished. One hopes

this will change with new elected representatives to make decisions that will benefit all Australians, not for their own self or political interest. In particular there is a need to look to the future to ensure enough well-equipped hospitals, health care centres that are relevant to population growth and needs in this fast growing area, plus trained personnel. More and improved education centres to help train these people needs to be high on the agenda as well. Don’t hear our elected politicians talk of that subject though.

Carol Harper, Nunderi

We can’t all walk uphill

Upon reading the article regarding the proposed closure of Hastings Point headland (TVW, April 23), I feel compelled to express my strong opposition to this future council agenda.

As a resident of Tricare Retirement Community I enjoy drives to the headland and celebrate my good fortune to live in such a beautiful beachside area.

I have not once seen abuse of the area, only admiration from onlookers and courtesy and patience of drivers parking and exiting.

I also wish to point out to Ms Monniot-Kerr that, as is the case of my fellow residents, only a few are fit to ride bikes and walk steep hills.

Therefore is the headland only to be enjoyed by only the young and athletic?

Rather than closure of the area it would benefit more by installation of appropriate parkland seating, a rubbish bin, and some official planned parking-markings.

Carole Flood, Hastings Point

Gate could be a compromise

As a compromise to all, why not install a timed boom gate, similar to the gate at the Pottsville Environment Centre, at the bottom of the hill to open at around 6am and close at 8pm. This would allow access for all during these times and overnight campers could be fined if found there after hours.

Roger Pearson, Pottsville

Don’t take our treasured headland

My wife and I retired to the Tweed Coast four years ago and one of the continuing delights of this beautiful area is the Hastings Point Headland.

We frequently call in there on the way home from shopping and even take a picnic lunch down there.

Not just in the whale season, but it is wonderful spot at any time. The ability to take the car to the end of the headland makes it much easier for us older people to enjoy.

On many occasions we have seen mini buses from various aged

Hospital bed number raise questions

On April 28, under cover of the Covid-19 crisis, NSW Planning approved the amended second stage of the Kingscliff site development, (SSD-9575-Mod-2 Modification-2), to include a hospital of just 391 beds and a ten-storey carpark.

From the moment the new hospital was first proposed, medical staff at Tweed stated they need at least double the current number of 245 beds to make a new hospital viable.

What have they got? Just 146 extra beds. Not a single concept drawing provided by Health Infrastructure has included any structure on the new site of 10 storeys. So what do we get? A car park bigger than the new hospital.

From the first announcement of the Kingscliff site the Berejiklian government have variously promised between 450 and 500 beds for the new building. The April 28 approval simply notes the possibility of expanding the facility to 499 beds by 2033, 13 years and who knows how many different governments from now. How many doctors and nurses at the current hospital will still be working in the Tweed then?

Where is the room for expansion when the current proposal already fails the legislated fire and ecological buffer requirements?

And before the usual suspects emerge to accuse me of new-hospital bashing, let me add I have just spent a week in Tweed Hospital with two visits to theatre. The skill and care with which I was treated was exceptional.

Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff

“The identified treatments are based on preliminary site assessments and concept designs.

“The actual treatments cannot be confirmed until a more detailed assessment, including survey, detailed design and environmental reviews are completed.”

Tweed Valley Way between Stokers Road and Wooyung Road will receive $2.55 million for various upgrades that includes skid resistant pavement reseals, additional guardrails with motorcycle protection, improvements for cyclists on the shared user path (Burringbar), vehicle activated signs, sealing shoulders, audible centerlines and edgelines, and improved delineation.

Numinbah Road will receive a total of $2 million for the full length of the road with $1 million delivered by June 2021 and the remainder by June 2022.

Upgrades will include motorcycle protection on existing guardrail, new guardrails through high risk curves, sealed shoulders on high risk curves, vehicle activated signs and improved delineation (curve signs, guideposts, reflectors).

LICENCE: 78609

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council has been offered $6.06 million under the Federal Black Spot and NSW Safer Roads Programs to reduce the likelihood of accidents on several Tweed roads.

Among the roads to receive upgrades include Tweed Valley Way, Numinbah Road, Clothiers Creek Road, Kennedy Drive, Limpinwood and Zara Roads and Kyogle Road.

Council has also secured $1 million in advance for the 2021-2022 Black Spot Program.

“These annual road safety grant programs target roads and roadsides with a higher crash risk and incidence of high severity crash types in line with the internationally recognised Safe System approach to road safety,” Council’s report reads.

“The Federal Black Spot and Safer Roads NSW Funding Programs now allow route length projects rather than just the traditional site-specific treatments.

“By upgrading a road length, the readability of the road will be improved, providing consistency and predictability for road users.

“This is achieved by consistently implementing low cost engineering treatments and countermeasures over lengths with a high crash risk rather than just locations with a crash history.

“This also reduces the likelihood of crashes being moved to the ‘next worse curve’ as can happen when upgrading isolated locations on rural roads.”

Council’s report said the nominated roads were identified after a review of Tweed Shire crash data and from feedback provided by the community.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tweed Valley Hospital modification approved Who inherits when there is a secret second wife?

It’s been the plot of movies and novels – the man of the house dies, leaving his family to discover at the funeral that he had a secret second family who turn up to mourn, and the second family didn’t know about the first family either.

It makes for big drama, but it also makes an interesting legal quandary. Who should inherit the man’s estate?

Joshua Crowther at Stacks Law Firm is an accredited specialist in wills and estates, and he says it happens in real life more often than one would think.

“There’s even a term for it – the pilot scenario, named after a 1998 novel and 2002 movie The Pilot’s Wife, about a pilot who had secret families in cities to which he frequently flew. None knew about the other,” Mr Crowther said.

It came up in a Canberra court as recently as 2014.

A marriage celebrant and former priest failed to divorce his first wife in New Zealand before marrying in Australia – twice. He got a six month suspended sentence for bigamy.

Bigamy – being married to more than one person at a time - is illegal in Australia. There is a penalty of up to seven years in jail under section 92 of the Crimes Act 1900, and five years in jail under section 94 of the Marriage Act 1961. A possible defence is that you reasonably believed the former spouse was dead.

Mr Crowther says if a bigamist dies leaving a will in favour of just one of the wives, then under section 57 of the NSW Succession Act, the second (or third) “wife” is entitled to claim against the estate as a de facto, and for any children of the relationship.

“If there is no will, there is a provision in the Succession Act 2006 in sections 122 to 132, and it is even called “Multiple Spouses”.

“Normally if there is one spouse with children, the whole estate passes under intestacy law to the spouse.

“But in a ‘pilot scenario’ where there are two partners surviving with no children, the estate is to be split as agreed in writing between them.

“If there are children, the spouses still share the entirety of the estate and children get nothing.

“But if there is no agreement, the court can decide how to distribute the estate, even giving all of it to one spouse or children.”

By Jonathon Howard MODIFICATIONS TO the $534 million Tweed Valley Hospital concept plans have been approved recently, paving the way for a 10-storey car park and new skills centre at the Cudgen site.

The changes, approved on Tuesday, April 28, by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE), will allow for increased car parking at the site which will now have 1,538 spaces, up from 700 spaces.

The plans outline the number of beds and staff required for the hospital, which is scheduled to open in 2023.

Upon opening, the hospital will have 391 overnight and day-only beds and an average of 1,120 staff per weekday shift.

By 2033 the number of beds is proposed to increase to 443, while after 2033 the number of beds will increase to 499 through an additional 56 inpatient beds.

The emergency department is anticipated to require 46 spaces, bringing the maximum number of beds to 545 after 2033.

The planning envelope for the main hospital has been modified to allow for three separate buildings and a temporary Tweed Valley Skills Centre has been added to the plans.

According to the application, the Skills Centre would include a prototype and

simulation suite to demonstrate the detailed design of key clinical spaces within the hospital, a low-fidelity simulation space for NSW TAFE health education programs and a skills and employment hub that would be dropin facility for both the community and local industry.

Stage 2 of the State Significant Development application was lodged with the DPIE in September 2019, and includes detailed plans for the construction and operation of the new hospital.

Following public exhibition of the plans last year and agency feedback, Health Infrastructure (HI) lodged the Response to Submissions report in March 2020.

“The Department are now finalising their assessment of the planning application, taking into consideration

By Jonathon Howard OWNERS OF the former Bray Park Flower Shed are appealing to the public to help track down several flower signs which have mysteriously gone missing and left the family devastated.

Sue and Royce Jaggers have owned the site for the past 25 years and were shocked when they found the flower signs had been removed in early March this year.

Mr Jaggers said the signs, measuring about nine-foot-wide, were placed out the front of the flower business as advertising billboards.

The signs are unique and were believed to have been handpainted in the early ‘90s.

“The signs had become a part of the local community as people passed through Bray Park and we’re hoping with some public appeal someone might see them and we can have them returned,” he said.

“The signs were extremely unique and date back to around 1994 and we’re really hoping we can get some information to have them returned.”

The Jaggers said the signs were last seen on the sheds on March 12, 2020 but have since gone missing.

The modified plans for the Tweed Valley Hospital that were approved last week

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

Businesses urged to connect to wellness As part of our Together Tweed campaign, Council and the Tweed Tourism Company are supporting local business owners through the Green X7 Wellness Program during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The online program is designed to provide local business managers with skills to: • create a connected culture of wellness and performance • build resilience and a positive mindset • encourage a balanced lifestyle to prevent staff disengagement • develop a connected and effective team.

Eighty course places are available, with Council and the Tweed Tourism Company sharing the costs. Head to whatsontweed.com.au to learn more and book your place.

Terms and conditions apply. For more information email business@tweed.nsw.gov.au Chief drone pilot John McIntosh prepares for flight (left) and checks his flight controls after taking off.

Drone team flies for greater productivity Council has begun using drone technology on its worksites, promising greater productivity and safer outcomes for its staff and contractors.

Eight staff last year successfully completed Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) training and are now certified to operate as remote piloted aircraft (RPA or drone) pilots.

Recently Council completed the internal paperwork needed to operate under CASA’s commercial rules, purchased a drone and opened for business to undertake general photography and videography projects, as well as survey work.

Council’s Remote Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Operations team flies a DJI Phantom 4 Pro RTK model capable of capturing survey accurate imagery and digital terrain modelling. From the images captured, Council can produce 3D models as well as calculate cut and fill quantities in quarries on land development and construction worksites.

“The adoption of drone technology opens up a seemingly endless list of opportunities that will increase productivity and improve safety on our worksites,” said Manager Design Paul Morgan.

“Workers will not have to climb structures to undertake inspections; we’ll have a bird’s eye view of the terrain and risks on landslips from a safe distance; and, we’ll be able to quickly and accurately calculate stockpile quantities for quarry, landfill and development sites.”

All the business units of Council will be able to benefit from this technology.

“We will be able to undertake weed and pest management surveys; inspect road and waterway damages after natural disasters; and, monitor traffic at worksites ... the possibilities are endless.

“The time and cost savings of this technology promise to be considerable.”

The drone team has been busy since opening for business last week, flying multiple missions in that time.

Together Tweed resilience One of the goals of Council’s ‘Together Tweed’ campaign is to encourage the community to take care of one another throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Council is working with the Tweed Community Resilience Network to gather information on COVID-19 impacts affecting local service providers and the community.

The Tweed Community Resilience Network membership includes representatives from service organisations, business and community associations with a focus on local emergency events.

Battling mosquito-borne diseases on the home front Council, along with its Northern Rivers counterparts and the Northern NSW Local Public Health District, is working to educate the community about mosquitoes and what to do to prevent mosquito-borne diseases.

The Increasing Resilience to Climate Change project is designed to raise awareness about what residents can do to limit the spread of arboviral disease in the lead up to and during mosquito season.

“Change behaviour company The Social Deck will work with the community to drive the change needed to protect it from such diseases

as Ross River fever,” Environmental Health Officer Kelly Piazza said.

Mosquito risk around the home can be reduced by: • emptying water from containers in the yard • filling pot plant bases with sand to avoid water pooling • keeping drains and roof guttering clear and free flowing • covering septic and rainwater tank openings.

The project has received $140,700 in funds from the Department of Planning Infrastructure and Environment.

Police search Mooball property for missing woman Tweed-Byron car thefts

By Jo Kennett THERE WERE dramatic scenes in the normally peaceful village of Mooball as dozens of police swooped on a property on Wednesday, April 29, in connection with the disappearance of a woman last seen in October last year.

Thea Liddle, 42, was last seen in the Mooball area on Thursday, October 31, and was reported missing by her family in January.

Tweed Police have made several appeals for anyone with information to come forward, but Ms Liddle remains missing.

As part of their investigation, Tweed detectives, officers from Richmond Police District and the Queensland Police Dog Unit attended the property on Tweed Valley Way and enacted a crime scene warrant about 8.40am.

The search continued into Thursday, April 30, with investigators seizing several items from the property.

Detective Chief Inspector Brendon Cullen said it was unusual for Thea to not be in contact with her family for such a long time.

“Thea lived a nomadic life; however, she would always come back and touch base with her family,” Det Ch Insp Cullen said.

“We are extremely keen to speak to anyone who may have seen or spoken to Thea in late October or early November in and around the Far North Coast of NSW. “We are exploring a number of lines of inquiry, and we want to speak to anyone who could have any information which may assist detectives.”

Tweed detectives have established Strike Force Holby in the wake of Ms Liddle’s

disappearance, as they investigated the circumstances surrounding the matter.

At the time of her disappearance, Ms Liddle was staying at a property on Tweed Valley Way, at Mooball, with a man then-aged 46.

Tweed Police said Thea is known to frequent several Far North Coast locations, including Mooball, Nimbin and Byron Bay. Police and her family hold grave concerns for her safety as there has been no activity from her bank accounts or mobile phone since early November, 2019.

A s i nve s t i g at i o n s i n t o T h e a ’s whereabouts continue, anyone with information which may help detectives is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or nsw.crimestoppers.com.au Information is treated in strict confidence.

are worst in the state

By Jo Kennett THE TWEED Byron Police District has earned the dubious title of the district with the most car thefts in NSW with a significant rise in cases over the past year despite measures put in place to combat the problem.

Tweed Police said on average a car a day has been stolen between January and April 23 this year, despite the establishment of Operation Marauder in February to address the problem.

That operation has led to many prosecutions but has failed to slow the number of thefts.

The Tweed-Byron Police District has experienced a 58 per cent increase in stolen vehicles between January and April this year compared to last year with 113 vehicles being reported stolen this year.

Despite Operation Marauder prosecutions, Tweed Police say the district “continues to experience an exceptionally higher rate of stolen vehicles than elsewhere in NSW”.

The Weekly reported on one of those thefts, with a police manhunt in Tweed Heads South that ended with the apprehension of four people.

It is alleged they were involved in the theft of a vehicle at Banora Point which was subsequently set on fire at Kirkwood Road, before the offenders escaped on foot.

Four people were apprehended during the manhunt including two men who tried to escape across the Tweed River and another who was captured on the mudflats of Ukerebagh Island.

Tweed Police said the arrest of one of the offenders, Bradley John Campbell, was the result of actions undertaken as part of Operation Marauder.

Police released a statement saying a premises at Banora Point had been broken into and a motor vehicle stolen on the morning of Tuesday, April 28, which was later reported on fire near the Coolangatta Tweed Heads Golf Club.

“The subsequent police pursuit on foot involved Queensland Polair, the Police Dog Squad and a Marine Area Command launch,” the statement said.

Three males and one female offender were arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police station where they were charged with the offences.

Man steals doctor’s pad and writes pain med script TWEED POLICE are investigating the alleged theft and use of a doctor’s script pad to acquire strong pain medication from a Tweed Shire pharmacy.

Police said a man entered a Banora Point chemist on Saturday, May 2, at about 10.40am.

“The person of interest approached the pharmacist and presented a script for a strong pain relief medication,” police said.

“The man then leaves the store.”

However, upon further inspection the pharmacist noticed some inconsistencies in the way the script was filled out.

A search was conducted on the Medicare number provided and was advised it was not linked to any account.

“The issuing doctor, who is a dentist in Sydney, was contacted and advised that he had a script pad stolen about four months prior and several had been utilised up the coast,” police said.

“The person of interest returned and when questioned about the script left the chemist.

Police are investigating the offence.”

Police are appealing for any information in relation to the man who is described as about six-foot tall, Caucasian, wearing a black cap, black t-shirt, grey hoodie jumper, light coloured shorts and thongs.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Tweed Heads Police Station (07) 5506 9499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Driver caught at 183km/h on highway TWEED POLICE nabbed a driver travelling at speeds up to 183km per hour on the Pacific Motorway at Tweed Heads South on Saturday, May 2.

Police said it was about 12.11am when a 35-year-old man was driving a silver Mercedes Benz with Queensland registration plates southbound.

“Police were performing stationary speed enforcement at the exit ramp of Kirkwood Road on traffic on the highway,” police said.

“Police have sighted the silver sedan at very high speed.

“The radar was released and showed the numerals 186 and locked at 183km per hour in a signposted 100km per hour zone.”

Police said they activated their sirens and lights and pursued the speeding vehicle.

“The accused was under heavy brakes as police caught up to him,” police said.

“He stopped and was approached by police.

“The driver indicated he was travelling at that speed because his wife had indicated there were some unknown males in his yard and police had been called.”

But police investigated and found no such call to police had been made.

The man was charged with driving in a dangerous manner.

His driver’s licence was suspended and he will front Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, July 6.

Spoiling mum: Bec Tate with her daughter Lillie and mum Rebecca Howlett

Time to celebrate our mothers this Sunday

By Jo Kennett IT’S MOTHER’S Day this Sunday, May 10, and time to celebrate the hard work, love and support of some of the most amazing people on the planet.

Casuarina’s Bec Tate, (pictured with daughter Lillie and mum Rebecca Howlett) lost husband James Tate to a heart attack in 2017 and now Bec juggles motherhood and her job as a cardiac rehabilitation nurse at The Tweed Hospital.

“We have had a hard few years and we just spent six months living at my parents house so we had a lot of close time,” she said.

“My Mum is amazing and being a mum myself I really appreciate the bond I have with my Mum and Lillie.

“It’s been harder with isolation and it makes you appreciate that bond a lot more.

“James’s Mum has been such a special person to me as well.”

Bec’s Mum works at The Tweed Hospital in administration.

“We’ve been able to drive to work together which is nice,” Bec said.

“Mum and I are really proud to work in the health system.

“They’ve done a really good job of containing everything and management has been really supportive.

“We have had to change our way of providing care with Telehealth at the hospital

By Jonathon Howard THE NEW and improved Knox Park entryway is on track to open next week, according to Tweed Shire Council, following an extensive redesign and landscaping to the site.

The project has been underway for the past six months to improve the park including new toilets and the removal of a rotunda.

However, residents are reminded that Council’s parks, gardens and open spaces are required to observe the COVID-19 physical distancing and social gathering restrictions.

Residents are allowed to walk through the park but playground and skatepark facilities remain closed until further notice.

“Playgrounds, outdoor exercise equipment, skateparks and barbecue facilities remain temporarily closed to the public until further notice,” a Council spokesperson said.

Mayor Katie Milne announced the Tweed’s 92 playgrounds, 51 barbecue facilities, three skate parks and seven outdoor fitness facilities were closed in late March as a proactive and precautionary response to protect the safety of the community.

“Council is working quickly to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and these closures are in the interest of community safety. Council is doing everything we possibly can to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Cr Milne said.

“Play equipment, exercise equipment, skateparks and barbecue areas are high-touch areas and given the physical-distancing rules, this precaution is recommended for shared facilities.

“The facilities will be subject to normal cleaning and maintenance routines during this time.”

and a lot of people are isolated and lonely and susceptible to depression and anxiety so times like Mother’s Day makes you appreciate your family and loved ones more.

“We try to support the ones that can’t be near family and be like their family.”

Bec said she couldn’t have been as happy as she is without her Mum, “I really appreciate her,” she said.

“My grandma turns 80 this year and she lives at Pottsville so there are four generations of us close together.

“We’re not far from Mum and Dad so we will be able to see them this weekend.”

Vanessa said she felt very blessed to have two daughters and grandchilden.

“It’s been a challenging time over the last few years with the loss of our lovely son-in-law but I feel very blessed to have that unique bond I have with Lillie and Bec,” she said.

“My Mum has always been a rock in our family. I think it’s a natural thing to be there for your kids.”

Bec said she didn’t think motherhood was something you could learn, “I think it’s inbuilt,” she said.

“You don’t even have to be a blood relative to be like a Mum, you just have to have that closeness.

“A mother is someone who makes you feel loved, supported and safe.”

Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday for all our beautiful, hard-working Mums out there.

The new Knox Park entryway is set to open next week and it’s a whole new look for the park

Cudgen Rural Fire Service Captain honoured

By Jo Kennett A TWEED firefighting chief is part of a team of volunteers awarded the Commissioner’s Certificate of Commendation (Unit) on St Florian’s Day, named after the patron saint of firefighters, on Tuesday, May 4.

Tweed Shire Group Captain Mark Eglington is part of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Far North Coast (FNC) Senior Management Team (SMT), which won the award for continually exceeding their assigned duties and responsibilities in administrative leadership and fire service duties.

“Their commitment to administrative responsibilities is matched equally by their enthusiasm and dedication to local operations,” NSW RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers said.

“These members have contributed a noteworthy 55 years to the FNC SMT and a combined 170 years of service to the NSW RFS. “This level of dedication to a leadership role in the NSW RFS is well above the scope of responsibility one would normally expect of a volunteer RFS Unit.

“The Far North Coast Senior Management Team are worthy recipients of the Commissioner’s Certificate of Commendation (Unit).”

Mr Eglington said he was very honoured “but the group of us do it because we love our job and we are surrounded by a great group of volunteers”.

“We couldn’t do our job without them and that’s what makes our job a lot easier.

“Our salaried staff members give us great support as well.

“I’ve been doing it for nearly 30 years and we (the FNC SMT) have nearly 170

Group Captain Min Eglington with Cudgen RFS Senior Deputy Captain Paul Norman

years between us. You wouldn’t do it if you didn’t love it.

“We are one big family and it’s all the friendship you make that makes it worthwhile.

“My wife Judy is my backbone and I wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t have her.”

Mr Eglington was a Strike Team Leader with the Tweed RFS brigades who fought bushfires almost non-stop from September 2019 at Drake, Busbys Flat, Rappville, Casino, Tenterfield, Wardell, Mt Nardi, Bangara and Myall Creek through to Christmas.

Some of the brigades were caught in firestorms at Rappville which they said were more horrendous and frightening than anything they had experienced previously.

After a brief respite, including the traditional Christmas lolly run, Group Captain Eglington led the Far North Coast Strike Team to southern NSW in early January through to February to help fight the devastating bushfires in the Canberra, Snowy Mountains and South Coast areas.

Mr Eglington, his wife Judy and daughter Christie set up the Far North Coast Cobargo Relief Fund in the wake of the devastating fires.

Due to the timing of the nominations, the award period does not cover the recent bushfire season, but additional awards have been established and any NSW RFS member may nominate an individual or unit for service or bravery awards.

Council could emerge stronger TWEED SHIRE Council has faced one of its toughest challenges in its recent history with dramatic changes to the Council’s core business model under the coronavirus pandemic and in what several councillors believe could create a more resilient structure for the future.

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said Tweed Shire Council has adapted “incredibly well” to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic by continuing to supply essential services and thinking outside the box.

“People having more time at home has meant Council has been inundated by new Development Applications, particularly for renovations and extensions,” she said.

“Planning staff have also been overwhelmed with the number of larger developments that would like to fast-track assessment processes in order to take advantage of stimulus packages so Council staff have been incredibly busy during this time.

“Working from home has worked well for some staff, but the collegiality of being able to bounce ideas off work mates easily and be part of a team will likely keep the majority of Council staff working from the offices post COVID-19.”

Cr Cherry said the experience has meant Council has put procedures in place for any future emergencies.

“It has prioritised essential services and essential staff positions, such as water and wastewater and resource recovery,” she said.

“I sincerely hope that through this crisis, everyone in our shire has been able to see what is most important to them and been able to let the little things slide more.

“Having time to be at home, I have greatly enjoyed the challenge of “making do,” of re-using and limiting waste.

“I really hope we can hang on to some of that when we return to normal activities.”

Cr Cherry said she was pleased to see fresh vege patches, including her own, as residents rediscover the joy of eating your own food.

“But I think people will really focus on how important local agricultural production is and how we can best maximise that,” she said.

“I believe people have really seen local businesses struggling and will think more about supporting local businesses, eating local, buying local, it all makes our economy much more resilient into the future and I think everyone can now see that.

“The huge hit that all tourism businesses have suffered may trigger a broader business focus.

“I am very convinced that this experience has made us closer and stronger as a community and I am very much looking forward to be able to spend time with people again.”

in our community acting selflessly for the betterment of others.

“I think it’s fantastic that these memories are being safeguarded for the generations that follow.”

Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne acknowledged the significant impact the fires had on our local community, particularly those in the south-west of the shire, and the important work of the museum in documenting these historic and heroic moments.

“Hopefully, people look at these powerful and moving photos and see the enormity of the contribution made by these firefighters and understand that members of this community volunteered their time, left their families and employment and put their lives on the line to assist not only our community

but thousands of other Australians that needed their help,” Cr Milne said.

“The Museum is also working to document what we are all going through now during our current challenge – living with COVID-19. As terrible as they are, these disasters are significant in highlighting and bringing out the best in our community. “ T h e s e ex t ra o rd i n a r y a c t s o f selflessness, generosity and bravery leave a lasting legacy that shapes the very foundations of what makes our community spirit so beautiful.”

Working towards Together Tweed, the Museum team invites the community to stay connected with local history by viewing the firefighting images on its social media pages while its doors remain closed.

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.

THERE HAVE been no new cases of coronavirus reported in the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) in almost three weeks as data reveals the region has the second lowest rate of positive tests in the state.

A total of 1,782 tests have been conducted in the Tweed since February 14, an increase from 999 tests two weeks ago, and a total of 15 positive tests have been recorded.

According to NSW Health data, 6,748 tests have been conducted across Northern NSW and the NNSWLHD has reported 56 positive results. Of the district’s cases, 45 have recovered from the virus.

Northern NSW has the second lowest rate of positive COVID-19 tests in the state at 0.83 per cent. The Far West is leading the state at a rate of 0.3 per cent and metropolitan areas including South Eastern Sydney (1.81 per cent) and Northern Sydney (1.54) have the highest rates of positives.

The rate of testing, however, is lower in the NNSWLHD compared to other parts of the state, with between 2,000 to 2,499 tests per 100,000 population compared to more than 4,000 per 100,000 in parts of Sydney and 3,000 to 3,499 in the neighbouring Hunter New England area.

By Jo Kennett TWEED REGIONAL Museum honoured the work of local firefighters on International Firefighters Day on Monday, May 4.

The Museum has added images from the 2019/20 bushfire season to its rich collection documenting Tweed’s history and heritage.

Council said a selection of the images will be shared online via its social media pages.

International Firefighters Day recognises the efforts and dedication of firefighters around the world and celebrates the work they do to keep communities safe.

“Our collection documents the good times, the not so good times and the many people, places and events that shape the Tweed,” Museum Director Judy Kean said.

“We are really pleased to have been able to honour the work of local firefighters by adding a new collection of photographs from the Cudgen Rural Fire Brigade to our collection.

“These photographs are a first-hand record of the 2019-2020 fire season; one of the worst on record and it’s important that images such as these are available for future generations to look back on.”

More than 70 photographs taken

by Cudgen Brigade Captain Troy Middlebrook and firefighter Damian Bray capture the hard work and dedication of the brigade and Far North Coast strike teams as they fight fires in the Northern Rivers at Myall Creek, Busby Flat and in the Bega Valley.

“It’s great to see the Museum acquiring these pictures,” Mr Middlebrook said.

“It’s like a large photo album being collated that allows all of us to live that small moment in time and witness people

By Jonathon Howard A SPIKE in illegal dumping across the Tweed Shire has prompted Tweed Shire Council to issue a warning that anyone caught dumping will face hefty on-the-spot fines of up to $4,000.

A Council spokesperson said there have been 30 illegal dumping incidents recorded between March 22 and May 4 this year.

“For the past six weeks there were 47 illegal dumping incidents recorded,” Council’s spokesperson said.

Some of the hotspots for illegal dumping include Tweed Coast Road at Pottsville and Wooyung, the roads around the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre including Leddays Creek Road, Bartletts Road and Saunders Lane and Chinderah Bay Drive.

A Chinderah Bay Drive resident told The Weekly he was concerned with recent dumping on the road and has stressed the need for Council to install CCTV, as the site has a history of both illegal dumping and unlawful camping.

It should be noted that Council’s tip, the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre, remains open for tip visits. However, residents are advised to only undertake tip visits if it is essential and fees may apply.

According to the Council’s tip fees and charges website residents can deposit a whole range of items for free including recyclables but red bin waste does incur a fee.

“Council, in partnership with North East Waste, has been working on monitoring illegal dumping sites, and will be enforcing on-thespot fines of $4,000 for individuals and $8,000 for business who are caught illegally dumping waste,” Council’s spokesperson said.

“Council has also partnered with the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to conduct an Illegal Dumping Prevention Program.

“This project is a NSW EPA Waste Less Recycle More Initiative funded from the Waste Levy.”

Council said the quickest way to get an illegal dumping incident cleared in the Tweed is to report it.

The public can report illegal dumping at: www.ridonline.epa.nsw.gov.au or by phoning Council on (02) 6670 2400.

“The Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre (tip) has remained open throughout the pandemic and residents are still making use of the facility,” Council’s spokesperson said.

“Council has echoed government restrictions that people should only be travelling for essential reasons.

“Therefore to protect the community and our staff we have been encouraging residents to store their unwanted items at home and then bring them to Stotts Creek once restrictions are eased. The tip shop is temporarily closed.”

Residents can check the price of dumping specific items via the Council’s website: www. tweed.nsw.gov.au/ResourceRecovery

TAFE teacher’s heroic transformation works wonders Free TAFE courses a hit

Kristie Hedley

“It reminds us that yes, we are delivering education, but we have to try to replicate the flavour of the classrooms and our classrooms are fun.

“We get through a lot of content in every lesson but we have a lot of laughs.”

“It’s really highlighted to teachers and students that flexible delivery can really work for some people such as parents and workers trying to fit study around their lifestyle.

“Now TAFE NSW staff are so well connected with their counterparts so the idea-sharing and collaboration is going to improve how we operate going forward.

“I’ve connected with colleagues I’ve never met before and developed these great collaborative relationships and it wouldn’t have happened without this.”

Ms Hedley said initially staff had thought students, particularly young students, would disengage.

“And they haven’t and that’s really impressed all of us,” she said.

“I’m incredibly proud of our students and I’m incredibly proud of all our staff.

“TAFE NSW had a one or two-year plan for rolling out training of staff but they have done it in four weeks. It’s been incredible.”

“In fact, this is a chance to plan for the future of your favourite organisation,” Mr Provest said.

The Community Building Partnership program has been very popular over the years in delivering projects with great social, environmental and recreational outcomes.

Applications close at 5pm, on Friday, June 12. Applicants must read the program guidelines to ensure their club or organisation and proposed project are eligible.

“Having a plan took a lot of anxiety out for staff.

“We all realised we need to be kind to our students and our staff and we couldn’t do a one size fits all. We were all being led by our students.”

Ms Hedley said Team Leaders and most of the staff worked through the holidays to prepare.

“Even though I told my staff to have a holiday because they needed it, most of them worked through the holidays and they wanted to make sure they were ready to go on day one of Term 2,” she said.

“We have been blown away with the level of engagement of the students and that is testament to the teachers who have worked their butts off to keep the students engaged.

“They call nearly every student every day to check in.

“Most of our students are still on track to course-complete for the end of term 2 which is phenomenal.

“We thought in the beginning we would have to extend our course dates because it would cause such a big disruption but most are on track even with all the challenges.”

Ms Hedley said TAFE NSW now has staff across the state that are all highly skilled in flexible delivery.

Ms Hedley said humour had been a survival mechanism at a local and state level during the transition.

“We’ve all come to terms with the fact we are working in a rapidly changing environment and you have to panic slowly,’ she said.

“We have all recognised that humour is really important.

“If you don’t laugh some days you might cry. We have done meetings where you aren’t allowed into the Skype meeting unless you are wearing a stupid hat.

By Jo Kennett TEACHERS HAVE been the unsung frontline heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic, given just weeks to implement changes in education that would have taken years to achieve under normal circumstances, with Tweed TAFE teachers winning praise for their “amazing” work.

TAFE NSW Team Leader Kristie Hedley oversees staff at campuses from her base at Kingscliff to Casino and has seen staff flourish, despite the enormous workload the transition to a virtual classroom model.

“TAFE NSW responded really quickly and developed a suite of flexible delivery training systems and rolled them out in two weeks and they are still going,” Ms Hedley told The Weekly.

“It’s been amazing to see that level of training roll out so quickly and to watch our staff’s skill levels sky rocket in a month. It’s blown my mind.”

Ms Hedley said that a two week pause in lessons from March 23 allowed teachers to do an audit of student preferences and student and staff IT capabilities before transitioning to a flexible delivery model with mail outs for some, online delivery and blended delivery.

“The teachers have absolutely put the students first and gone above and beyond to make sure they met every student where they are and that no student was left behind,” she said.

“I won’t deny it was stressful; it seemed overwhelming initially, like an impossible task to do it in such a short time.

“What was really amazing was by the end of week one, by sharing ideas, we had pretty well nutted out how we would deliver to every cohort.

What could the Tweed look like after COVID-19?

wi

TOKYO STORY A few days ago the isolation curse was loosened in NSW and finally grandparents will be able to visit their families, or vice versa. This reminded me of a classic film: Tokyo Story by Yasujiro Ozu, one of the greatest Japanese filmmakers. The film, made in 1953, is widely regarded as Ozu’s masterpiece and as one of the greatest films ever made. It has consistently featured in any list of the most important movies made since the beginning of cinema. For instance, in 2012 it was voted the best film of all time in a poll of film directors by Sight & Sound magazine.

The storyline is simple, in typical zen fashion: an aging couple living in the countryside travels to Tokyo to visit their children and

grandchildren, who are however very busy with their own lives and do not have time to pay attention to the couple. They treat the parents with courtesy and deference, but it is obvious they can’t wait for them to leave. The only person who is genuinely happy to see and spend time with them is a widowed daughter-in-law. The pace of the film is slow and the plot is very thin but incredibly poignant; it relies on few dialogue lines and the smallest details of movement to reveal a great psychological depth. The film has been studied by film scholars all over the world, who still marvel at the grandiosity of Ozu’s vision achieved in such a minimalist fashion.

The story is sad but has to be seen in context: it takes place in 1953 post-war Japan, which had embraced western capitalist ideas in order to stimulate rapid economic growth at the expense of old traditional values, like the importance of the family. So, to be fair towards the callous children, they were themselves victims of the system – and not much has changed since then, I am afraid.

The film was loosely based on a 1937 American film, Make Way for Tomorrow, about an elderly couple forced to separate when they lose their house during the Great Depression while none of their five children will take them in. Tokyo Story is the inspiration behind the 2008 German film Cherry Blossoms and the 2013 Japanese film Tokyou Kazohu, however neither movie reached the artistic height and the cult status of Tokyo Story, an unforgettable film.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor James Owen has shared his thoughts on what the Tweed Shire might look like post coronavirus and said he believes we’ll come out of the pandemic stronger and more resilient.

Cr Owen said residents could expect a new normal in some aspects of life “but many will remain unchanged”.

“Some of the social distancing measures put in place will be in place long after the virus is finished, perhaps forever,” he said.

“For example, shaking hands as a greeting might become less common for a while and people will be more conscious of personal hygiene and particularly the need to wash your hands.

“Hand sanitiser will be carried with us everywhere and we will be more conscious when handling items shared by others such as door handles and fuel pumps.”

Cr Owen said some things were difficult to predict, including the use of cash, which was already declining sharply, but may become less commonplace.

“I also think that even when things are back to normal, more people will work from home more often because they have shown that they can, and that will be supported by the boom in enabling technologies such as Zoom videoconferences, faster broadband and 5G,” he said.

Cr Owen said like all businesses, Council has had to adapt during the pandemic and many of those new practices will be retained post COVID-19.

“For example, as a Councillor I am pleased that we have been able to meet remotely and live stream Council meetings and I hope this has allowed more community members to be able to watch the meetings and see how the decisions that affect their day to day lives are made,” he said.

“Council has been pleased to see how many of our residents have embraced our new web chat services and are engaging with us electronically.

“For example, we had 300 more submissions than normal to the Border Art Prize which is being conducted virtually.

“Through adversity we always learn and adapt, and we’ve seen plenty of evidence of that across the shire.

“We’ve seen amazing creativity and innovation from businesses owners, faced with cashflow crises, who started thinking outside of the box.”

Cr Owen said it was almost overnight that many businesses changed their business models.

“They created new products and services and distribution methods which meant they could still trade within the bounds of the COVID-19 restrictions,” he said.

“Whether its cafes and restaurants changing from dine-in to takeaway/ delivery or alcohol manufacturers making hand sanitiser, instead they have shown the determination to succeed.”

“I think that need to adapt quickly will be with us for a long time but that will be a positive thing.”

Another area Cr Owen said was inspiring was the “immeasurable kindness and generosity from many business owners”.

Cr James Owen thinks we’ll be stronger and more resilient post COVID-19

“Who, struggling themselves, have been selfless in their efforts to help others, through the provision of free care packs, ‘pay it forward’ coffees for health workers and donations to charities and those doing it tough,” he said.

“What has also impressed me is the optimism of our businesses – during a recent poll conducted by Business NSW, the Business Chamber’s Peak, seventy two per cent of respondents said that they believed that their business would survive the current crisis.

“Things are improving and there are positive signs that we will soon start to see restrictions lifted to enable the recovery to get underway unabated.

“As it does, our innate determination will see us bounce back fast and, with the easing of restrictions hopefully imminent, fingers crossed we will be able to do so as soon as possible.

“I think we’ll come out of it stronger, more resilient, more collaborative and, with a greater sense of community than before.”

Passionate local couple open Burger Bar and Grill

By Jonathon Howard WELL-KNOWN LOCALS Barry and Sandra Gresham are the proud new owners of the Burger Bar and Grill at 91 Murwillumbah Street, which opened on Monday, May 4.

Bringing their passion for the Tweed Shire alongside great local food and quality service, Barry and Sandra hope to breathe new life into the venue to offer locals another great restaurant option.

The born and bred locals were the previous owners of the Road and

Rail Café on Prospero Street and are eager to use their experience to again serve up a delicious range of burgers and food options.

“We are also sourcing most of our produce from local farmers to showcase the Tweed’s amazing flavours and show what’s possible through the local cycle,” Sandra said.

The couple have already hired a team of 12 locals and hope to create a friendly and inviting restaurant atmosphere once social distancing restrictions are lifted.

“We are all extremely excited to

get started,” she said.

“We’ve always loved being in small business and we saw this as a great opportunity to come back into our passion for great food and customer service.

“We are currently open for takeaways only, but we will open the restaurant once restrictions are lifted.”

The couple has hired head chef Amy Hitch, who was the previous head chef at the Mantra Resort and brings more than 16 years’ experience to the role.

“It’s great to be part of the team,”

Ms Hitch said.

“We are looking forward to serving up some amazing flavours for locals and offering a new restaurant option once social distancing rules are lifted.

“We’re currently doing a takeaway menu but will have a full menu once open in full.”

Barry said the Burger Bar and Grill will offer a range of delicious meals but had a focus on gourmet burgers. “ We ’r e r e a l l y h o p i n g t o compliment the current offers in town as a gourmet burger and meal

restaurant,” he said.

“We also make our own sauces and do signature burgers such as The Chicken Truffle, Pulled Pig, Vege Delight and The Heart Attack with something to suit everyone’s needs.”

The restaurant is currently open from 6am to 8pm seven days and hours will vary once coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

Local couple still in love after 72 years of marriage “It was probably the first time I’d left the house without giving Pat a goodbye kiss,” he said.

“That day when I sat down for lunch, I opened my lunchbox and inside there was a note from Pat saying how much she loved me, or something like that.

“I remember it brought tears to my eyes, I was crying on my sandwich that day and ever since we make sure we give each other a kiss in the morning and a kiss a night.”

The couple said many things have changed for couples today including carrying too much debt.

“We never had any money, but we also didn’t have debt,” Neville said.

“I think there’s too much reliance on credit cards and debt which can put a lot of strain on a relationship, a lot of friction.

“It was even eight years before we owned a car together.”

The couple also wanted to give a mention to their dear friend and neighbour Vicky McLatchey.

“We are so thankful to Vicky, who told the newspaper about our 72nd wedding anniversary and has been such a great friend and neighbour to us,” Pat said.

The couple have mostly been in isolation for the past six weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that’s okay with Neville.

“I don’t mind being at home with Pat, she’s the love of my life,” he said.

Neville and Pat when they first met

Still madly in love after 72 years and going strong

By Jonathon Howard LOVE AND devotion have been the key ingredients for a long and happy marriage, according to Tweed Heads locals Pat, 92, and Neville Cash, 98, who will celebrate their 72nd wedding anniversary on Friday, May 15.

The Weekly recently caught up with the couple to find out more about their lifetime of love and what it takes to keep someone happy for more than seven decades.

Neville said he could not have lived as long without his dear Pat and he never takes her for granted.

“We never had much money throughout our lives, but we always had each other,” Neville said.

The couple met in 1944 at Goulborn in NSW and had an immediate spark.

“I was 17 at the time and Neville had come back from New Guinea during World War II,” Pat said.

“We immediately hit it off and it was only three years before we were married.”

The couple had four children, who have since had 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

“We built our own home at Lidcombe in Sydney and lived there for 50 years,” Neville said.

“Now been at Tweed Heads for the past 22 years and really enjoy it here.”

The couple are extremely close and have only ever been apart for about two months at a time.

“We couldn’t live without each other,” Neville said.

“We’ve lived our lives to the fullest together.”

Neville said he recalled the couple had a small argument once and he left for work without a goodbye kiss.

Taps into the wonders of solar for free TWEED SHIRE residents could be among 3,000 eligible households across NSW to take advantage of the State Government’s trial to assist people on low incomes with their power bills by installing free solar systems in place of their Low-Income Household Rebate.

Local solar company SAE Group said the program aims to improve energy affordability by helping households to unlock long-term 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,” SAE Group Managing Director Glen Ashton said.

“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.”

Mr Ashton said the SAE Group were the only approved provider, designing and installing solar systems to eligible homes across Northern NSW. To be eligible you must be receiving the current Low Income Household Rebate, agree

not to receive the rebate for ten years, own your own home and roof, not already have a solar PV system, not live in a retirement village or strata building, use at least 3600 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity in a year, live in the North Coast of NSW and hold a valid Pensioner Concession Card or Department of Veteran Affairs Gold Card.

Mr Ashton said a 3kW system is designed to generate an average of 12.6kW per day, which will deliver electricity savings depending on each household’s energy consumption.

“We know electricity bills continue to place a lot of pressure on households, and we are pleased to be working with the NSW Government to help ease the pressure on low income households,” he said.

SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Retailer, and hold accreditations ISO 9001, AS/NZS4801 for safety and quality systems.

“Safety is paramount to us, and it is our goal to ensure we provide quality solar systems to eligible households that will deliver ongoing savings for many years to come,” Mr Ashton said.

To find out more you can contact SAE Group on 1300 182 050 or visit 28 Industry Drive, Tweed Heads South.

Eligible Tweed residents could save hundreds of dollars through free solar installations

Last few home sites at Kingscoast

By Jonathon Howard THERE ARE only five home sites left at Kingcoast with the 112-home site at Cudgen proving a popular investment for locals.

Kingscoast sales manager Rachael Ford, from Intrapac Property, said enquiries have remained strong for the sites, despite the current coronavirus pandemic.

“Some people are finally finding the time to sit at the computer and look into a new home now that they can no longer work or need to stay at home with kids,” Ms Ford said.

“That would account for a number of the new enquiries.”

Located on Crescent Street, off Tweed Coast Road, Kingscoast is set to significantly increase Cudgen’s population with several locals already purchasing blocks as both investment opportunities and to live.

Kingscliff resident Simone Tardent has purchased two blocks at Kingscoast, one to live in with her husband and two children and the other as an investment.

“It’s so close to Kingscliff,” Mrs Tardent, who works as a new home advisor for Metricon, said.

“And with the new Tweed Valley Hospital so close we think it’s a really great investment.”

Mrs Tardent said the price of properties across Kingscliff, which now has a median house price of $1.15 million, made investing locally extremely difficult.

“We haven’t been able to afford to buy in Kingscliff and some of the house and land packages at Kingscoast are actually cheaper than buying a Kingscliff townhouse,” she said.

She said the Cudgen community vibe is strong with a lot of natural beauty.

“Locals will tell you it’s a great place to raise kids,” she said.

“Plus, there have been all kinds of new creative ventures popping up in and around Cudgen.

“I think particularly now lifestyle and nature are top of the list for a lot of people.

“That’s what’s good about Kingscoast, you are close but you are still surrounded by nature.”

Land at Kingscoast is priced from $399,000 to $479,000 for level home sites between 450 square metres and 595 square metres.

BNI has moved to the virtual world - and invites you to join us online for a chapter meeting!

Our chapters are meeting online each week, and members are growing their businesses through word of mouth quality referrals.

By Jo Kennett HUNDREDS OF locals watched on in dismay as the heart of the Kingscliff community and home of the Cudgen Hornets, the Cudgen Leagues Club, was gutted by fire on Monday, May 4.

Fire and Rescue NSW Brunswick Heads, Banora Point, Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Bilinga were called to the club at around 3.30pm after numerous triple zero calls reporting a fire at the property.

The cause of the fire is now under investigation but early indications are the fire was caused by an electrical fault.

F i re a n d Re s c u e N S W K i n g s c l i ff spokesperson Darren Jones said the damage was “quite extensive on both levels in the centre of the building”.

“Prior to the brigade’s arrival, some members of the public were attempting to put the fire out,” Mr Jones said.

“One of them was an off-duty Fire and Rescue NSW firefighter and the other was a non-active member from Kingscliff Fire Station.

“The nursing home did get some minor impact due to the smoke and wind, but no damage.

“In trying to isolate the power we had to consider the solar on the roof and the people that installed the solar were standing right there so that helped.

“There is an investigation underway into the cause involving Tweed Police and Fire and Rescue NSW Fire Investigation and Research Unit.”

The building served as a base for several local clubs and housed precious memorabilia including awards, historical records and photos.

The Club’s President Peter McConnell said it was a sad day for the community and Tweed Shire.

“When I got here the fire was already raging and the front of the club was pretty well alight and it gradually went through that whole side of the club,” Mr McConnell told The Weekly.

“It’s certainly destroyed it; I don’t think it’s a case of just getting in there and fixing it up.

“It’s been a bad year with the coronavirus and businesses having to be shut.

“We were only doing takeaways, but it was only beer, no food and the kitchen was closed.

“It makes you sick to see it with the history of the club and particularly having the RSL as part of it with all their memorabilia.

“It was in the upstairs section, just below where that bloke is fighting it now (in the roof on the western end of the club), just on the other side.

“They would have had a lot of World War I and II and Vietnam memorabilia in there,

so I feel sorrier for them; it’s a terribly sad day for them.

“We will have lost some of our stuff but a lot of it, like our old photos, will be on file.”

Mr McConnell said it had been a struggle for the club recently, “like all small businesses”.

“We were hoping, listening to the NSW Premier this morning, that we might have been coming out of this in the next few weeks at least and we were looking forward to getting back to trading again,” he said.

“The original clubhouse started in 1979, there were a lot of us involved in building it.

“The first section of the club came from the old Coolangatta Tweed Heads Golf Club; we helped pull it down and we used a lot of it, windows and front doors and stairs and things.

“It was a great feeling of satisfaction when we finished it and then it was extended in the mid ‘80s I think.

“It’s very sad, really, for the whole shire and the local community.”

President of Kingscliff Rotary Club Peter Sibilant said they had club memorabilia, historical documents and equipment stored upstairs at the club.

“Most was stored in a steel cabinet and we’re hoping some, if not most, survived,” Mr Sibilant told The Weekly.

“There is so much history in the club through their support of local social, sporting and services clubs.”

Russell Logan played in the reserve grade team and helped build the club.

“The club got the land and we started doing weekend working bees,” he said.

“I was an apprentice bricklayer and we did all the brickwork to build the base of the club and each week there were different trades volunteering and labourers working.

“The original club was just a shed across the road, (Wommin Bay Road) and this was all cleared and made in conjunction with the council.

“The NSW State of Origin side has trained here and we have had rugby union internationals come and train here and we hosted a Koori Knockout here for the Indigenous community, but when we were building it we didn’t anticipate how big it would be.

“There is a lot of memorabilia in there of my uncle and my father who played league here.

“Uncle Cedric Logan, my father Mossy Logan, Uncle Billie Logan, his photograph and a lot of those original legends are in there.

“Those photographs are down the bottom end (the southern side) but the water damage is what will get them.

“It’s a bit of a sad evening. There are a lot of people who have played a lot of good football here.”

“The club was built by the community, a lot of the old farmers around Cudgen were involved like the Julius’s, the Pritchards, the Ziebells, all those people were involved in putting the club together and we all followed.

“It’s a very sad day for everybody.”

Cudgen Hornets President Mick Channells said he visited the club the following morning and described the damage as “extensive”.

“It looks like most of the club is damaged and the front area where the foyer, office and bar is, seemed to have copped the lot,” he said.

“I think the southern end might be the last damaged, but I can’t see much being left.

“We are hoping we can get all our memorabilia and this season’s football gear out.”

Mr Channells said the club was the Cudgen Hornets’ spiritual home.

“We trained, socialised, met with friends, celebrated and commiserated there,” he said.

“It was the centre of what we do and enabled us to fundraise and the club was always generous with donations.

“We have been playing there for over 40 years and it was the spiritual home of the club.

“We will rebuild, we will recover. The Hornets will continue to play and all the people and the spirit are still there.

“The club will need work but as a club we will continue on. It won’t beat us.”

Tweed Shire Councillor James Owen told The Weekly he was “deeply saddened” by the news.

Firefighters used all possible methods to attack the fire and spare the building. Inset is Cudgen Hornets President Mick Channells

“My thoughts and condolences are with our local community whilst they navigate this tremendous loss,” he said.

“Cudgen Leagues Club is a meeting place for so many, a place to come together and enjoy food, drink, sport, music and good company – and to have that taken away is a bitter blow for a community already reeling from the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s made even worse because the club, like many in the area, were already on their knees due to COVID-19 but staff and patrons were

anticipating positive news about the potential lifting of restrictions to allow them to return to work or go and hang out and talk to others about everything that has happened – now that has been cruelly taken away from many people.

“There is a lot of history associated with the club and the devastation of the fire for staff and patrons will be compounded by likely losses to the sporting and community groups, like Cudgen Hornets, Kingscliff Rotary and the Kingscliff RSL sub-branch, who call the club home.

“The potential loss of memorabilia and historical documents and items for each of the clubs could be devastating.”

Cr Owen said the main thing is that no one was hurt.

“Buildings can be rebuilt but lives cannot and I’ve already been in discussions with general manager Nathan Kerr and other community members about ways in which we can get behind the club to help them to rebuild,” Cr Owen said.

“We are all in this together.”

Twin Towns Club Banora to undergo major facelift

By Jonathon Howard TWIN TOWNS Club Banora is set to undergo one of the biggest renovations in its recent history with a $3.5 million development application now on public exhibition.

Plans include several alterations and additions to the iconic club with the removal of three existing bowling greens and relocation of the existing playground and mini-golf area.

The greens will be replaced with a new roofed lawn bowls green comprising eight lanes and creating one of the most up-to-date greens in the Tweed Shire.

The plans also include the construction of two new car parking areas, internal modifications to the existing Club Banora building and construction of new footpath connections.

“The proposed modifications to Club Banora involve a reduction in traffic generating floor area within the club, the relocation of the existing playground and mini-golf and the construction of an undercover bowling

In response, we are offering current and future members 6 months’ free membership.

green in place of three existing greens to be removed,” the plans read.

“As such, the proposed modifications to the club land uses are expected to result in a net reduction of traffic volumes to and from the subject site.”

The development application includes the relocation of the existing eastern access to Leisure Drive to create a signalised four-way intersection, and signalisation of the western access to improve operations and cater for safe crossing facilities.

“The proposed development provides a total of 385 car parking spaces which exceeds the requirement outlined in Council’s Site Access and Parking Code (2014),” the plans read.

“The second floor of the club will be closed to the public and as such will not generate parking demand.

“Therefore, this area was excluded from the club GFA for parking calculations.

“No changes in bicycle parking are proposed as the only component with a net increase in yield is the bowling green.”

We’re here to help - keep in touch!

Please Don’t Stop Spending Your Money In Murwillumbah!

During COVID-19 some businesses had to close down, some can only work part time with restrictions and some are actually being more productive than ever before. Did you know that some of the retail shops that have stayed open for the duration of COVID 19 have had equal or better revenue that the last few Christmas periods?

Hopefully these business in turn will spend their excess money in Murwillumbah community, as will the extra pay the staff have received. But what of the business that couldn’t open? The hospitality business that could not risk throwing fresh produce in the bin with the uncertainty of customers? The beauty and alternate therapy businesses that are threatened with a fine if they operate?

When you next visit the shopping district in Murwillumbah and the Industrial Estate please take note who has closed down and who are struggling. The chamber is calling out to all the community to get these traders back to business. It will be up to us to keep the money circulating in Murwillumbah when the restrictions lift. Murwillumbah has proven that its residents don’t need to go to Tweed or Gold Coast for supplies. When the day arrives and businesses can reopen, they will be very appreciative of any support given.

The Murwillumbah District Business Chamber is very much looking forward to hosting another Breakfast or Evening Drinks event, we don’t know when this will be, however it gives us all something to look forward to! Coming together

once a month to support the local business community has provided many business owners the chance to network and collaborate with each other. It also provides opportunity for guest speakers, such as the local council, to update and inform the community of events and infrastructure progress. Business owners also get the opportunity to speak briefly about what they offer to the community. Hospitality businesses who are members of MBDC also have the opportunity to host a gathering, further promoting themselves and giving back to their business community.

Let us come together and grow a stronger business community by supporting each other!

If you are interested in becoming a member of the MBDC please go to www.murwillumbahchamber.com.au

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

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

NSW Lic: 213024C

QLD Lic: 724433

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

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

Tanka in a time of coronavirus A poem by Nola Firth Each to our own room, separated, in boxes on my screen. Alone I talk and laugh with old friends I haven’t seen for years.

Birds arrive at dusk, a flock, closely together squawking squabbling, rippling the pond - the water in my own jug lies flat.

Birds sing in the morning.

Untouched by our world they send out confidence.

It’s quiet now.

We listen.

The swings are still in the picnic place.

No plastic on the ground.

Birds stroll through.

Green fields, autumn sun, mountain blues - I am out here at last. How bright the green, the blue.

How dark the shadows.

Deep into the cracks, dark lines separating tiles, I scrub and scrub. Am I looking there for the name of the day of the week?

Bright coloured, a side for wheat, a fish, a rat, berries.

My new board game dice no numbers, food and fun more useful in these shuttered times?

My wooden table, its dark green stripe, its long scratch there every day.

Have I re- entered childhood - those long kitchen table games?

A white bowl of gold pumpkin soup - my partner’s gift.

Together we walk in streets with stacked chairs, closed doors No one disturbs us.

Autumn currawong carolling, a motorbike roaring. They come in to cheer me if I open the window, do not shut them out.

Shiny white package in my letterbox, slippery in my bare hand – invisible Trojan horse?

I wash my hands, wash my hands.

The highest mountains in the world under blue sky - seen again at last as we pause, rest, breathe fresh air.

How to keep this clarity?

My face on the screen again. Sagging skin, odd frown.

Who is this person travelling under my name? She demands I come close, get to know her My bookcase nesting of authors, framed family, Greg who handcrafted my spindle backed wooden chair, all here in my room with me.

Each morning the sun travels over the hill, shines steady down the path.

No matter what I don’t do each new day comes.

The metal handles on my drawer look like leather - I never noticed before and there is also a tiny pause between each breath. ...

By Rachael Lebeter AROUND THIS time every year an incredibly special animal begins to appear in the Tweed Valley. One of the oldest mammals on Earth, it is our spiky friend the echidna!

Autumn to spring are the busiest times for echidnas as they avoid the hottest part of the year by remaining underground most of the time.

But as the weather becomes cooler, echidna sightings become more common.

This also means that more echidnas come into care with Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers.

This is breeding season, so echidnas are out and about, looking for mates.

Hotspots in the Tweed Shire include Bilambil Heights, Koala Beach, Pottsville, Bogangar, Terranora and Banora Point.

We have dozens of echidnas come into care each year because of car strikes.

They are tough little creatures, but all native animals come off second best after an encounter with a car.

The best way to protect wildlife is to drive carefully.

Although echidnas are not strictly nocturnal, they are more active in the early morning and evening.

Most echidna car strikes also happen at this time or overnight, as the low, usually slow-moving animal can be difficult to see in the dark.

This is particularly the case if you are travelling quickly.

Echidnas have evolved to avoid predators by curling into a ball and letting their spikes protect them.

They do not throw their spines like porcupines. Curling up works well in the wild and even against most dog attacks, but not with cars.

Please take care on the roads echindas are on the move!

It means that an echidna faced with an oncoming car will not get out of the way.

If you see an uninjured echidna on the road, the best option is to stop traffic and allow it to pass, if you can do so safely.

If you see an injured echidna, please call Tweed Valley Wildlife Carer’s 24-Hour Hotline on (02) 6672 4789.

This year, we have also had a high number of echidnas come into care as juveniles. Baby echidnas, called puggles, are walled into a burrow by their mother and emerge when they are ready to fend for themselves.

Three underweight puggles or juvenile echidnas have come into care this year, include Yvonne, who was released on Friday.

All three puggles were underweight and not as well-nourished as they should be at that age. It is possible that they were unearthed from their burrows before they were ready.

“We don’t really know what happened,” a TVW carer said.

“It is strange that they are so underweight. Yvonne was tiny when she came in, weighing just 620 grams. She weighed 1200 grams when I released her. That’s 600 grams in five weeks.”

If you strike an echidna or see one that has been hit by a car, call the Tweed Valley Wildlife Carer’s 24Hour Hotline on (02) 6672 4789.

This is the only wildlife rescue service in the Tweed area and the response time will be much quicker than calling WIRES, who can take hours to then redirect your call to Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers. Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers volunteers are available around the clock and will be able to tell you how to help the animal, as well as arrange expert care.

Call Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers on (02) 6672 4789 for all injured wildlife in the Tweed.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark!

The bowlers are back on the greens!

Following the suspension of all bowling activities since March 17 this year, the relaxation on several new rules, although very restrictive, is being welcomed by many District Bowlers.

With NSW Office of Sport now advising that bowls practice can be classed as exercise, clubs are currently opening their greens.

Bookings have to be made for one-hour sessions; Limitations include only two players per rink; One rink space separating rink in

use and no more than 10 players on the green at any one time.

And, of course, players are reminded to adhere to the strict health guidelines set down by the powers that be.

WBNSW and BNSW had earlier advised a list of State events, whilst not cancelled, were suspended. WB suspended, State Championships, Pennant, Champion of Club Champions Singles and Pairs, Week-end Pennant and Summer League whilst BNSW followed suite and suspended their State championships, etc., as well.

Thursday, May 7, 2020

The gate is now open, hopefully, for a return of these suspended competitions soon.

To date, possible new calendar dates have not been forthcoming. A fact that is quite understandable considering the current health risks at hand.

When surfing the State Calendars and checking various dates for events that are now in abeyance together with events scheduled for further down the track, it is difficult to imagine a catch up programme fitting in, even if the “all clear” was announced tomorrow.

In the meantime, sit tight, be patient, and follow the current guidelines and protocols in place.

And, remember, if you are showing any signs of any illness, check with your medico and please stay home.

Sport 47

Stay safe and healthy.

Bowling days are on the way again.

Tapped in to the waves With Terry Tappa’ Teece

Catch up with local ripper California - and when’s surfing back on?

CALIFORNIA “CALI” Barrett is a 15-year-old (pictured) up and coming young lady, that you will hear a bit about in the future.

She started surfing at eight years of age and has won the Under 12, 14 and currently the under 16 NSW Champions.

No shortage of sponsorship with companies like Roxy, Pyzel, The Glass Lab, Sideways and Farking backing her already.

Her contest record is as long as she is tall, surfing with a clean driving style.

It seems like she has been around forever in the junior events and always in the finals.

Her heroes are Mick, Stephanie Gilmore (What Kingscliff lass wouldn’t) and Courtney Conologue.

Her local hero is another blonde ripping goofy footer Raya Campbell.

Cali is a proud member of the Kingscliff Boardriders.

“My Dad is from Kingy, and along with his mates reformed the club years ago, it’s a cool club, with a chill vibe that is fun,” she said.

Kingscliff Boardriders have been performing well, qualifying to the final of the 2020 Australian Boardriders Battle, and with the up and coming talent at Kingscliff Boardriders, they along with Cali will be giving that event a big shake in 2021 if we can get some events in the water.

I asked Cali what she was doing to keep sharp for the events when they do eventually restart.

“I’ve been continuing my training at home as per normal and in the water,” she said.

“I have my own gym and exercise routines that I do and have continued to surf as much as I can.”

California has a great junior contest record and is looking at goals to get on the WQS and qualify for the WCT. She also sees a life outside of surfing.

“I also want to study to be veterinary nurse, as I love animals,” she said.

She is in touch, as all surfers should be, with her equipment.

“I ride for Pyzell Surfboards.

My favourite board is the Secret Sauce, it’s fast and has great flow.

I talk with Matty A about all my boards,” she said.

Matt Aldridge is another ripping goofy footer with a tonne of experience (and don’t remind Josh Kerr about that heat at the Kirra Teams Challenge). But also a trusted source for California.

“He (Aldridge) is my go-to when I need information, and is really helpful,” Cali said.

“I basically have known Matt since I started surfing, and he knows how I surf and lets me know what I need.”

This is one young lady with a big future. An amazing amount of young surfing talent we have here on the Tweed.

Like every frothing from you will find Cali chasing the best waves around as the sun crosses over the horizon.

Are We on the Road Back to Surfing Events?

Slowly but surely it looks like we may be on the road to recovery, and as such surfing events may be able to be held again soon. First it would be great to get the club rounds underway, to bring back surfing contests for the local clubs.

Like a move similar to the NRL, Surfing Australia has announced the SAE Group Australian Surfing Championships to be held Port Macquarie, from August 7 - 24, 2020, this will include the Australian Adaptive Surfing Titles.

At present this still has the caveat of COVID-19 conditions could change these dates. So the date is set, but whether the event will go ahead will all depend on how things progress, particularly in the last month. Looks like a wait and see.

Ocean and Earth Web Surfing Titles Expand to Longboard, Bodyboard, and SUP’s

Due to the success and uptake of the yet-to-be-crowned Ocean and Earth NSW Junior Titles, Surfing NSW have expanded the initiative to include other disciplines including longboard, SUP and bodyboard.

The three events which will be powered by Live Heats are online surf events targeting surfers who participate in different disciplines in NSW who have existing surfing clips at a beach within NSW from 2020. Entries into all Web Surfing Titles are open via surfingnsw. com.au The competition period for uploading clips is 11th - 15th May, 2020.

For the NSW Web Surfing Titles competitors to upload one clip per

division, and can go in one division or multiple. For Longboards it is Pointbreak and beachbreak.

Bodyboards divisions are Largest air, ripping junior and biggest barrel. SUP will be Biggest barrel and biggest turn.

So only a few days to get your clips together! A note for people entering, none of the above events serve as a feeder to the Australian Titles.

New WSL World Schedule and Format

Title

The WSL has now cancelled all events for June, with the next update on the 2020 season will be on the 1st of June. SOlike many other sporting associations it is all a month to month proposition.

In the meantime the WSL has announced a yet to refined, but a new format for the Championship Tour, Challenger Series, and other platforms of the sport.

Starting in 2021 the women’s and men’s World Titles will be decided in a single day of competition on the last day of the Championship Tour season, with the top surfers battling for their respective titles in a new surf-off format. from various media reports, it looks like the one day World Title will be the top 8 or so surfers having a shot on the one day to grab the world title.

In addition to the redesign of the Championship Tour, the schedule will be updated to create distinct seasons between the CT and the Challenger Series. This update will allow those who fail to requalify through the CT the opportunity to perform on the Challenger Series and requalify

for the elite CT the very next season as opposed to waiting an entire year.

There are a few who think the new format will be great and then other who disagree. 4 times World Surfing Champion, Mark Richards, does not seem to be a fan of the the new format as he stated in “Tracks” magazine.

“So I think my main concern is that the whole idea of the tour is that you have a points system for every event and let’s say you have, you know, X amount of events a year in different conditions from reefs to beaches, you know, to points, from lefts to rights.

And you end up with a guy that performed best in a variety of conditions over a whole year of surfing. I think that’s what should actually determine the world champion each year. If you’re going to throw it all in and it’s going to be decided on one day, then why even have a tour?”

I have to agree with MR, and really where will the World Title be held? Pipeline? Well then you can forget some surfers getting the win, what about Kelly’s Wave Pool? Well you may as well give it to Medina now. How would a surfer feel if they won almost every event in the year, comes in at number one, has a bad heat against number eight, and does not figure in the World Title?

I think there could be a better system, but it is all up in the air in our new COVID-19 world.

Catch you in the waves.
