Bureau predicts heavy rain and possible cyclones thousands of people living in droughtstricken parts of the Tweed, Mr Browning said the spring outlook may bring some welcome relief. “It’s looking very likely the Tweed will get above average rainfall across the region, although there are still long-term rainfall deficiencies,” he said. “Those long-term rainfall deficiencies could be eased this year, but of course some areas may get heavy rains and others may get less, but the potential is there to make a vast improvement on those areas that are really dry. “The drought has been going since 2017, so it will take several months of above average rainfall to really start to moisten up the soil, because it’s only when that happens that you get a real change in the environment.” For more information about extreme weather event planning visit www.ses.nsw. gov.au/local-region-information/rtr/ northern-rivers-get-ready-together/

As we head into the cyclone season, Mr Browning said it is a good idea to think about preparing your property early. “In terms of preparation, it is a good idea to look at the websites of your local emergency services such as the SES, who will usually have information about what to do to make sure you are as prepared as possible,” he said. “That should include cleaning up your yard, cleaning out gutters in your house and having an emergency first aid kit on hand, which is always a good idea not only for cyclones but for other hazardous events.” According to Mr Browning, while the official cyclone season starts on the first of November, the first cyclone of the season is often later in the year. “The first cyclone is usually closer to sometime in December for a cyclone that will impact the South East Queensland area and the Tweed,” he said. While cyclones can bring damaging winds, they also bring rain, so for the

By Megan Albany BUREAU OF Meteorology (BOM) senior climatologist Greg Browning has been with BOM for more than eighteen years. As a young man, he started out as a storm chaser, and now helps predict the wildest weather of all: cyclones. “I have had a lifelong love of the outdoors but what I really love is wild weather, so I did storm chasing as a younger person, hence my involvement in tropical cyclones these days,” Mr Browning said. According to Mr Browning, this year’s predicted La Niña climate state is likely to bring its fair share of cyclones. “We typically see more tropical cyclones in La Niña than non-La Niña years; however we can’t give any forecasts on where they’re likely to form,” he said. “Historically in La Niña, the chances of cyclones going further south is more likely, so the Tweed has the potential to be impacted if that happens.” Mr Browning said that while forecasting is not a perfect science, residents can usually expect reasonable warning of extreme weather events. “Our cyclone forecasts are pretty good these days,” he said. “Cyclones normally develop over the Coral Sea and we have good observation capacity, so these days we’d usually be able to give about a week’s warning; it would be pretty unusual for us to get surprised by tropical lows or tropical cyclones. “If cyclones develop over the Coral Sea they can still cause heavy rainfall, but damaging winds are less of an issue, but that’s not to say a tropical low couldn’t form closer to the region.”

Tweed Shire residents are being urged to prepare for an active cyclone season this summer. Inset is senior climatologist Greg Browning.

Lock up tight and keep valuables out of sight, say police Police said they wanted to remind residents to ensure they are locking up vehicles and not keeping their valuables inside. “Just a reminder, as the weather warms up, so does our opportunist crime,” police said. “Over the weekend, police received several reports of stolen push bikes and wallets taken from unlocked cars in the Tweed Heads South and Kingscliff areas. “Please lock up your personal belongings and report suspicious behaviour to your local police station, by calling triple zero (000) in case of an emergency.” If anyone has any information please contact Tweed Heads Police on (07) 5506 9499 or phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Kingscliff dog walker has heart of gold

In Kingscliff, there is a lady who walks every morning about 6am with her dog, a golden-coloured dog. This lady always has a plastic bag with her and she picks up any rubbish that she sees on the streets whilst she is out for her walk. People such as this do not seek recognition, however, they deserve recognition for cleaning up the mess left by others. A person who asks for nothing, but sees it as her duty to help keep our town tidy, I admire her. May I respectively suggest your newspaper do some research and perhaps highlight the good deeds that she does. Col Ainsworth, Kingscliff

Time to build our rail trail

Beth Shelley keeps wheeling out the same tired myths. The rail trail legislation is based on the same laws as the Tumbarumba-Rosewood Rail Trail and specifically limits use of the corridor as a public recreational rail trail. By the way, the Tumby trail was completed in April and is already attracting several thousand visitors monthly, despite the pandemic keeping many people at home. Our old railway corridor does not go anywhere near most people in the region. It especially is not near where the population is growing the most, not near the areas with the largest proportion of old people or households that do not own a car, and not near any hospitals or universities. The cost to resurrect the railway is several hundred-million dollars and does not represent a good investment, particularly when the buses already serving the route run almost empty. Instead of asking people “would you like a railway” why not ask them how they would like to see hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the

region? A train that serves a tiny minority who happen to live near and need to travel to places near the line would not feature in most people’s lists. It is time to forget about railway pipe dreams and get on with building the Tweed Valley Rail Trail to the very best standard possible. Building a trail next to the line is not practical, would be incredibly destructive to the amenity, and blow out the cost of construction and maintenance. The severely compromised trail wouldn’t meet the standards for the world class facility we need to attract our share of the trail tourism dollar. Greg Clitheroe, Murwillumbah

We are over-governed

The overwhelmingly most serious problem about being an Australian is the fact that we are vastly overgoverned. As one of the smallest countries (by population) in the world, we do not need nine separate governments including federal, Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, Queensland, SA, WA, NT, and ACT – nor do we need any state boundaries. The problems caused by the differences in these separate governments are mind boggling. The differences in laws and regulations on all subjects are outstanding. The recent bushfire disasters have highlighted this. The confusion and often the lack of cooperation between the various state government bureaucracies was frightening to observe. And even more so has been the incredible problems created by this current ongoing coronavirus pandemic. On any subject concerned with living, unbelievable difficulties are presented and often logical solutions just cannot be found. So many differences are laughable. Many actions legal in one state or territory can be illegal in another. Many of the more moral issues are also very confusing. Euthanasia, birth control, child adoption, welfare conditions, care and treatment of the elderly and education standards all vary from state to state. We really do live in the best country in the world and life would dramatically improve if we only had one Australian government to lead us. We are all Australians. Bruce Keir, Upper Crystal Creek

I accept you have gone down the rabbit hole – but come on

What an extraordinary outburst in The Weekly (Sept 10) by conspiracy theorists. It beggars belief that people who worry themselves sick over beneficial, harmless or non-existent threats (vaccines, 5G radio waves,

chemtrails) can be so dismissive of a real threat (coronavirus). I accept that nothing is going to change your opinion once you’ve gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy and left reality behind. So, the following is for people who are just poking their head into this netherworld. Donald Trump, conspiratorin-chief, was recorded in January privately telling Bob Woodward – of Watergate fame – that the virus was five times worse than the flu and “a plague” because it was spread through the air. Meanwhile, he was (and still is) telling the American people it’s nothing to worry about. Menkit Prince starts by referencing Dr Andrew Kaufman, who can frankly be described as a nutter. His error-laden video was not taken down by YouTube to ‘hide the truth from the people’, but to protect susceptible people from incorporating his crazy ideas into their belief systems. And if Menkit has to go as far as the Bulgarian Pathology Association to scrape up support for these views, there’s thousands of experts and associations on the way who would disagree with them. If you contract the virus, you may be one of the lucky ones who survive and suffer no further symptoms, or you could suffer chronic illness, perhaps for the rest of your life, you may also suffer massive organ failure, ongoing headaches, permanent brain and/or lung damage. Or you might just die painfully and alone. Spin the wheel. As for your freedom fighters – there is a time and place for everything. Curb your enthusiasm. This is not a time for mass gatherings. Do us all a favour and stay safe. Alan Watterson, Hastings Point

No to another supermarket

I don’t think we need another supermarket, Coles is enough. A new supermarket may create a few jobs, but most of them will be parttime anyway and they are open to anybody up or down the coast. We will lose valuable land which could be used for sporting facilities or other activities benefiting all locals. The land was donated to the community and should be used by the community. I think we are better off supporting the existing shops in the main part of town. Erika Vincent, Murwillumbah

What about performing arts?

Mike Rayner made a good point in his letter (Sept 10) wherein he advocates maintaining the bowls club site as community land. There is no shortage of grocery outlets in Murwillumbah and surrounding district – we will not starve. However, there is currently no acoustically appropriate venue capable of meeting the needs of all genres of the acoustic performing arts. This includes catering for moderately sized audiences (150 people). Perfor ming arts deserve as much care and attention as the visual arts and it has already been acknowledged that this area attracts artists in both visual and performing arts. Involvement in the performing arts offers members of the community a chance to express themselves more effectively and also has the ability to connect people of all ages and cultures through the experience of live performance, as well as fostering new and existing community groups. Therefore, let us create an acoustic space which not only meets the needs of our own local community but attracts artists and visitors from far and wide. Deirdre Hulton, Murwillumbah Philharmonic Society Inc secretary.

Bizzare attack on koalas

After years of scientific studies/ research revealing our koalas are under real threat of extinction, the Koala Habitat Protection policy (State Environmental Planning Policy or SEPP) was replaced with a new policy to better protect our national icon from extinction. Subsequent to the writing of the new policy, the science is now in, with the dire status of our koala populations being exacerbated by the massive loss of koalas during the catastrophic 2019/20 bushfires. The NSW National Party leader is now declaring war on our koalas under the guise of taking away farmers’ rights is bizarre when the new SEPP makes no changes to farming activities, and the new SEPP went before cabinet 2019 and came into effect six months ago. Many of our genuine farmers are leading the way in preserving and enhancing our threatened species and ecosystems, and innovative measures to manage climate change. Also bizarre is their attack on the increased tree species to protect both food and habitat trees across the state, which are diverse and different across the many variable ecosystems. That the blow-up on our koalas from the National Party leader

erupted three weeks ago ‒ well after the fact – is of grave concern. Of serious note is at this same time, mining exploration licence applications were submitted for the areas of the two National Party MPs’ electorates who have led the charge against koala protection. Also of note is one of these same MPs’ promotion of nuclear energy and overturning the ban on uranium mining, and now revelations of branch stacking to secure his pathway into parliament. Lindy Smith, Tweed Heads

Gas is back and Scomo is on the attack

So gas is back on the agenda as an energy source and Scomo and his climate deniers, true to form, wheel out the hoary old ‘when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow’ nursery rhyme, to sidestep accepted science-endorsed renewable energy projects. On average, our country receives over 240 sunlit days a year and we are one of the windiest countries on earth. Enough said. I have lost count of the number of energy policies this mob have rolled out. Ray Armstrong, Tweed Heads South

Dementia Action Week

The number of Australians living with dementia is close to half a million – a number that is set to double in the next 25 years – with an estimated 1.6 million involved in their care. In the electorate of Richmond there are an estimated 4,530 people living with dementia, which is expected to increase to 8,330 by 2058. For this year’s Dementia Action Week, September 21-27, the theme is: Dementia. A little support makes a lot of difference. Findings from a survey conducted by Dementia Australia reveal just how big an issue discrimination is for people living with dementia, and is calling on our communities to make change. During the week, Dementia Australia will share one tip a day showing simple, yet effective, ways to support people living with dementia.

“Everyone has seen the incredible success of the green waste initiative, with our organics being turned into compost and mulch. “Council can be a leader in driving the change for demand for recycled products, so that in all new works and equipment we are installing, we are incorporating recycled products as much as possible. “It is through this kind of initiative we can move forward in trying to deal with our “waste” products and provide jobs in this type of manufacturing.” Deputy Mayor Byrnes said his immediate focus was “rebuilding and recovery after the COVID-19 crisis”. “The Tweed is facing unprecedented challenges and our focus must be on job creation and economic growth into the future,” he said. “Both the state and federal governments must urgently provide more funding to the Tweed Shire and I intend holding them to account each and every day. “Post COVID-19, we will need to embrace opportunities and look for more innovative ways our residents can work and thrive in our shire. “Our strength is our people and I’m committed to improving services for locals right throughout the shire.”

Deputy Mayor Byrnes said his door was always open and he hopes to continue building a strong Tweed. “We’re fortunate to live in the best part of Australia and we have to keep working hard together to preserve our precious environment,” he said. “My door is always open, and I’ll work with everyone in our community to build a stronger future for the Tweed – more jobs, better services and protecting our environment.” Mayor Cherry and Deputy Mayor Byrnes were nominated and confirmed in their respective roles during an Extraordinary Council meeting on Thursday, September 17, Councillor Cherry was elected by her fellow councillors. In a show of hands, Councillor Cherry received five votes, while the only other candidate, Councillor Warren Polglase, received two votes. Councillor Cherry was supported by Councillors Byrnes, Cooper, Milne and Owen. Councillor Polglase was supported by Councillor Allsop. Councillor Reece Byrnes was elected unopposed to the role of Deputy Mayor, as there were no other nominees.

By Jonathon Howard NEWLY APPOINTED Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry said although she only has around 10 months until the 2021 council election, she’s hoping to continue to guide the shire towards “future-proofing” as much as possible. Newly appointed Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes said he was delighted to take on the new role until next year’s council election. Mayor Cherry said both the 2017 flood and now COVID-19 have put a “huge strain on Council” and its ability to deliver community projects that have already been promised”. “So, my focus will be on bringing some of those projects to fruition,” she said. “The Tweed Shire is an incredible place to live and the COVID pandemic has shown us we may need to diversify our economy to not have such a heavy focus on tourism products, but have a more even spread in employment, so we will focus on employment generating businesses and local food production to help us all have a more sustainable future. “We need to think of future-proofing our new residents as much as we can. “For me, this is requiring water tanks and solar on new developments, ensuring cycleway connectivity and greening our urban centres to reduce heat island effects.” Mayor Cherry said another important issue was waste and the need to turn it into reuseable products. “We can’t keep piling it up or burying it,” she said. “In Council, we are incorporating recycled plastics into our outdoor furniture, crushed glass sand into our pathways and recycled rubber into our roadways.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Does dementia make a will invalid? You feel unfairly cut out of a will. The person who made the will – let’s say your mother – thinks you are possessed by demons and ride around on a broomstick. Doctors say she had dementia. You’d think you have a good case that your mother lacked the necessary testamentary capacity to write a will. But wills and estates specialist Joshua Crowther at Stacks Law Firm says it doesn’t always work that way. “Testamentary capacity is a legal question, not a medical diagnosis,” Mr Crowther said. “The legal question is whether, at the time of writing a will, a testator – the person making the will – has the mental capacity to understand the nature of making the will and the effect it will have. “They need to understand the extent of the assets being distributed in the will, and comprehend the moral claims of potential beneficiaries. “The testator can’t be suffering from any condition that interferes with their normal decision making.” The legal foundation for testamentary capacity rests on a British judicial decision made 150 years ago in Banks v Goodfellow. With an ageing population and an increasing trend to challenging wills, there is more of a focus on whether a testator has testamentary capacity, especially if they change their will while being cared for by an individual who suddenly emerges as the chief beneficiary. In a recent case, two sisters fought to have their father’s will overturned, claiming he suffered from dementia and hallucinations that robbed him of the mental capacity to make a will. The father’s first will distributed his assets evenly among his six daughters. But late in life he changed his will to leave five of the daughters $40,000 each, while one daughter got $3 million. The two sisters argued their father had dementia and lacked capacity when he made the second will. He believed they ran a brothel and were demons, and that a panther lived in the garden. But the NSW Court of Appeal upheld an earlier court decision, supported by the father’s doctors and by evidence produced by the daughter who got the bulk of the estate, that dementia had not deprived him of testamentary capacity. “The judge concluded his delusional beliefs were episodic, he made rational business decisions at the time, and therefore met the criteria for being able to make a will,” Mr Crowther said. “There were divisions in the family, and he decided to give the bulk of his estate to the daughter who stuck by him and helped run his business.

JobKeeper payment to reduce but concerns for vulnerable By Jonathon Howard TIME COULD be running out for Tweed Shire residents on JobKeeper, with changes due on Monday, September 28, and Centrelink warning that payments may stop if your employer is no longer eligible or you stop working for them. From September 28, new fortnightly payments will come into place under a two-tier system and employers will need to demonstrate their actual GST turnover has fallen against a comparable period. Employees who worked more than 80 hours over a four-week pay period prior to either March 1 or July 1 will be eligible for tier one payments. Under tier one, JobKeeper payments will reduce from the current $1,500 a fortnight to $1,200 until January 4, where the payment will reduce to $1,000 until the JobKeeper scheme wraps up on March 28, 2021.

Tier two employees, who worked less than the 80 hours over the four weeks, will receive $750 per fortnight until the payment reduces to $650 from January 4. Member for Richmond Justine Elliot has slammed the move, highlighting that according to Treasury reports, the rollback would impact more than 33,000 workers and provide $30 million less to the Richmond electorate. Mrs Elliot is now calling on local National Party branch members to “resign in disgust” over the cuts to JobKeeper payments, as well as highlighting the “chaotic NSW government infighting” and “koala killer agenda”. “Cuts and changes to the JobKeeper scheme will see many local businesses and workers lose all financial support, while others will have their payments slashed by between $300 and $750 per fortnight,” she said.

“The National Party have shown they are nothing but a shameful, nasty rabble. “At a federal level, their only priority is ripping $30 million out of the hands of local workers and families. “At a state level, their only priority is chaotic infighting and pushing through their koala killer laws. “Australia is in the middle of the COVID crisis, neck deep in the Morrison recession, with mass unemployment at historic highs and all we get from the National Party is more lies, cuts and chaos.” Mrs Elliot has warned that the JobKeeper cuts “will make the Morrison recession worse”. “The Morrison recession will be deeper, and the unemployment queues will be longer because of the National Party,” she said. “Our community needs and deserves better but instead all we get is the National Party’s lies, cuts and chaos.”

Chamber presidents say JobKeeper may have run its course By Jonathon Howard TWEED HEADS Chamber of Commerce president Warren Polglase said he was supportive of the rollback of JobKeeper, provided those businesses that are still struggling can be classed as “legacy employers”. Small businesses with less than 15 employees who are experiencing at least a 10 per cent decline in turnover, and no longer qualify for JobKeeper, can access legacy employer provisions. The provisions include issuing JobKeeper enabling stand down directions, issuing JobKeeper enabling directions in relation to employees’ duties and locations of work, and making agreements with employees to work on different days or at different times. “Some industries have bounced back including some of the accommodation providers along with other tourism providers,” he said. “But you have to look at the JobKeeper beyond September.” Cr Polglase said some employees were receiving more funds than they had in their casual roles. “Those businesses that are still struggling need to make a decision on the people they employ and their future choices,” he said. “This JobKeeper thing cannot keep going forever. We cannot have businesses surviving off JobKeeper. When the government put it in, it was meant to

be a backstop, then it went a bit longer so it was extended, but the government said they would have people back to work and then they pull back on the payments.” Cr Polglase said he wanted to put it in perspective that some people were casual and received around $300 for a day’s work, but under JobKeeper they received $750 for the week. “It would be fair to argue that some people were better off with JobKeeper, but as the industries are picking up, it’s obviously time, if they can, to get back to work,” he said. “They may not be qualified to receive the JobKeeper payments, as there’s no government handout, and that’s why there’s a legacy employer.” Murwillumbah & District Business Chamber president Nick Moran said when JobKeeper was first announced in March, “there were many businesses about to go to the wall”. “I 100 per cent agree with the JobKeeper package, but it was rushed out and the eligibility rules were not as targeted as they might have been. There was a lot of flexibility in how the decline in turnover test could be met,” he said. “My firsthand experience as an accountant advising on JobKeeper is that there are a lot of businesses receiving the payments that met technical eligibility thresholds, but did not need the payments for survival.

HOT WATER & GAS HEATING SPECIALISTS

Queues outside Centrelink in April

“In no way am I saying that these businesses are doing anything wrong, but I fully agree that they should be reassessed for eligibility post September. “Definitely there are many businesses still needing support, and will continue to need support well into next year, so the extension through to March 2021 is great for those businesses that meet the new eligibility requirements.” Mr Moran added that another major change is the two-tiered payment rate based on hours worked. “I have heard from some members that experienced difficulty motivating people to work where $1,500 per fortnight may have been more than they were receiving otherwise,” he said. “This view seems to be an unfair generalisation; and in my own experience many staff really pulled together to support their employers; but the fact is the flat rate of payment did create some unintended incentives and this change help address this problem.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you agree with the JobKeeper payments being reduced?

Safer and easier lifting solution

Members of Tweed Shire Council’s Fleet team were pleased to deliver a new crane truck for the Water & Wastewater Unit recently. The truck was designed in consultation with operational staff to facilitate tooling and equipment for various planned, unplanned and corrective maintenance activities. There are 193 sewer pump stations across the Tweed – with more than a quarter having pumps weighing greater than 500kg. The crane has a lift capacity of 700kg at seven metres.

An artist’s impression of what parklets planned for the streets of Murwillumbah’s CBD may look like.

Pop-up parklets to be unveiled in Murwillumbah The installation of two temporary parklets will take place during October as part of an exciting short-term project in Murwillumbah. The Tweed Green Parklet, Public Art and Activation project will also see pop-up seating (art seats) placed in several locations within Murwillumbah CBD, providing a unique public space while adding to the street amenity. The temporary parklets (which are extensions from the footpath using one to two car spaces) will incorporate seating, plantings and interactive spaces to create a new buzz and enhance the street appeal. Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson said each parklet would be designed as a unique public space, bringing pockets of greenery to the streets. “The eight-week project aims to increase the amount of public space accessible to the community, enhance street vibrancy, pedestrian amenity, community safety and support the economic prosperity of local businesses resulting from the increased activity,” Ms Stinson said. “We’ll build on lessons learned from cities in Australia and around the world who have trialled similar parklet and placemaking programs, while making sure we’re always COVID-Safe.” In addition to the parklets, there will be the temporary installation

of cylinder-shaped art seats and planters, pockets of green and splashes of colour decorated by local artists to add vibrancy to central Murwillumbah. The parklets expected to be in place by mid-October, will be located in front of the BGF Building in Queen Street and in front of M | Arts in Brisbane Street. The art seats will be located on the corner of Murwillumbah and Brisbane streets and near the pedestrian crossing in Murwillumbah Street, between the two parklets. Council will design and construct the parklets, which will be removable and recyclable and can be relocated to other locations if required. During the trial period, the parklets will be locations for a number of different public events and activations. The NSW Government is putting $100,000 towards the project as part of its Streets as Shared Spaces initiative, with Council providing $37,000. An evaluation of the project will be conducted by the Northern NSW Local Health District to gauge the community benefits associated with improving public spaces, and assist in determining how activating initiatives such as this one can help improve streets to support healthier, safe and more vibrant communities.

Have your say on canal management in the Tweed Ensuring the safety and navigability of the Tweed’s canal systems is the focus of a draft Canal Management Policy which is on public exhibition from 23 September to 4 November 2020. Tweed Shire Council manages nine canal estates – comprised of both navigable and non-navigable waterways – and the foreshores adjacent to several hundred residential allotments. Within canals, facilities such as pontoons, boat ramps and beaches present maintenance considerations that affect both Council and residents. While being constructed waterways, canals also support environmental values, and are significantly affected by events such as floods. The draft Canal Management Policy outlines Council’s position on a number of matters relevant to canals, including maintenance of beaches, unapproved structures and use of vessels. Importantly, the policy also describes Council’s licensing of pontoons and the fees charged. Council has now resolved to begin charging an annual licence fee for pontoons, commencing at the beginning of 2022. The annual pontoon licence fee will be used to fund the maintenance required in Council’s canal estates. The fee is a flat annual fee of $255 per year for the pontoon license and $196 for a pontoon license application or transfer, indexed to CPI. The majority of the canal systems are more than 30 years old and located in an environment where deterioration can have a significant impact on their safety and functionality. Currently Council budgets $40,000 annually for canal works and this will need to increase in the future. In recent years funding has been allocated to projects such as navigation dredging in Endless Summer and Seagulls canals, beach nourishment at Anchorage Islands and flood debris removal at Oxley Cove.

Councillor Chris Cherry elected Mayor of Tweed Councillor Chris Cherry has been elected as Mayor of Tweed for the next 12 months until local government elections are held in September 2021. At an Extraordinary Council meeting held on Thursday 17 September 2020, Councillor Cherry was elected by her fellow councillors. Councillor Reece Byrnes was elected unopposed to the role of Deputy Mayor and will also hold the position until council elections are held next year. The outgoing Mayor, Councillor Katie Milne, did not nominate for the position but continues in her role as councillor. She held the position of Mayor for the past five years. Councillor Cherry has previously served as Deputy Mayor in 2016/17, 2018/19 and most recently in 2019/20. Councillor Byrnes served as Deputy Mayor in 2017/18. Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/councilmeetings to view the meeting minutes, including voting. In the Tweed, the position of Mayor and Deputy Mayor is decided by a vote among Councillors, rather than by a popular vote by residents, as is the case in some local government areas. The Tweed is represented by seven Councillors, who cover the whole Shire, as the Tweed does not have a ward system. If you would like to contact a Councillor, please visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/councillors to view a list of the Councillors’ names, phone numbers and email addresses.

Tweed canal residents have been invited to make submissions on Council’s draft Canal Management Policy.

Increasing the revenue available to maintain canals and public waterway facilities will improve the safety and durability of these assets. The charging of an annual licence fee for private structures in Council-owned canals is consistent with NSW Government practice, where fees are charged for private structures in Crown waterways. The NSW Government application fee is currently $626, with an annual base fee of $240, plus a rate of $4.65 per square metre. A 30-square metre structure on a Crown waterway reserve would currently cost approximately $380 per annum, plus GST. Council resolved to apply an annual pontoon license fee in 2008, however while the fee was adopted, it has not been charged.

Environmental Impact Statement for dam raising reaches milestone The preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed raising of Clarrie Hall Dam has met another milestone with completion of the cultural heritage excavations. Consultant Eco Logical Australia Pty Ltd (ELA) worked with the project’s Registered Aboriginal Parties over nine weeks to complete the excavations of 19 potential archaeological deposits. Soil from the excavations was sieved to isolate and collect Aboriginal artefacts. General searches of the areas around the dig sites were also completed. The findings from the excavations will help in the development of an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management Plan for the project.

The 19 sites are part of a range of archaeological sites that would be inundated or partially inundated when the dam wall is raised 8.5 metres to double the dam's footprint and treble its capacity. The EIS is expected to be completed by February 2021 and will go on exhibition for public comment around March 2021. Then, ELA will meet with the community to help explain the document for those who want to make submissions. At this stage, due to COVID-19, it is not known what format these meetings will take. Anyone interested in making a submission on the EIS should register to ‘Stay Informed’ at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/raisingclarriehall. This will enable Council to email you directly when the EIS goes on public exhibition and when the meetings are scheduled. Council has received funding under the NSW Government’s Safe and Secure Water Program to undertake the EIS to raise the dam.

WATER WEEK 13

Young couple Paola Stelmach Kohl and Rob Wise took a Water Night test run and learned they would have to change how they use water if they were to survive on limited quantities. Thinking ahead and thinking smart, they planned their night around the challenge to use just one 10-litre bucket of water between 5pm and 5am and had plenty of water left over. First, they changed their meal plan. Instead of a cooked dinner with all the cleaning caused by the preparations and then the eating, they opted for a pizza cooked on the barbecue and eaten by the slice from the same plate with paper napkins to wipe their hands. Then they opted not to shower before bed. At a bare minimum and using a water-efficient shower head, two showers would use at least twice their night’s allowance. The only decision open to them if they were to meet the challenge was ‘no showers’. Paola and Rob believe they are water-conscious consumers anyway, but the Water Night test run did teach them that they would have to plan more and work harder if their water supply was limited. “We learned that we would have to change our habits, especially having showers,” Paola said. “We take our water so much for granted,” Rob said. “We learnt that to not be wasteful with water you need to be aware that there are steps you can take to minimise your use.” Paola and Rob will be participating in the first national Water Night challenge to be held next month. Water Night encourages all Australian households to use just one 10-litre bucket of water between 5pm to 5am on Thursday 22 October 2020. To join them, register online at www.waternight.com.au

Maintenance of boardwalks, fixed jetties and some other facilities will be undertaken by Council. For any enquiries regarding management, ongoing mooring agreements and maintenance issues, please call Council on 02 6670 2400 and ask to speak to staff from the Waterways Program.

These five-day-old twin lambs were shot dead on Saturday night along with those above (inset)

Devastation as kids’ pets slaughtered at Piggabeen “They were only five days old and the kids found them too. “The mother and the ram were with them but they didn’t get shot. “It seems like they were targeting the babies – it’s quite disturbing.” The father said that same night a man “turned up on a quad bike.” “They went up the back gravel road, a couple of hundred metres away, but around the corner, so if they shot them with a low powered rifle like a 22, you wouldn’t hear it. “Then they pulled up right outside my driveway and I was on the couch and I got up and yelled out ‘who’s that’ and they took off. “The police said unless you catch them pulling the trigger, we can’t do anything to him. If the guy on the quad said it wasn’t him there is nothing you can do.” The father said they still had no idea who had shot the animals. “I couldn’t even pick someone,” he said. “I don’t have enemies, no one that would do something like that. It just doesn’t make sense. “We are a young family and the kids love the animals and there are always heaps of kids coming over here. “I don’t know who it is, but I know there are some absolute nutters out here.” Another neighbour who has lived in the area for 40 years said the situation in the Piggabeen and Cobaki valleys had become “terrible” in the last four or five years. “It looks like the roads everywhere have been painted with black snake squiggles from all the burnouts,” they said. “It’s everywhere in the Piggabeen and Cobaki Valleys. They just don’t care. “It’s like thuggery. That’s the type of people they are. “If you say something about it you become a target of some really nasty stuff.” Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Tweed Police on (07) 5506 9499 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 131 444.

By Jo Kennett A FAMILY is devastated after several of their pets, including baby lambs and goats, were found shot dead in two separate incidents in the Piggabeen Valley. Seven sheep and goats were shot in the first attack on Friday night, July 31, with only one surviving. Another two lambs were shot and killed last Saturday night, September 19. The family, who didn’t want to be named, said the animals were all pets of their young daughters. “We are just a hobby farm and they were all kids’ pets,” the father said. “They were really friendly, you could go up and hug them. “Then a few weeks ago, we had six sheep and goats shot and we couldn’t find a seventh. The kids went up and found their bodies. “They were having a sleepover with their friends both times, the same girls, and they came running up to the house saying the lambs had been shot and crying. “They were down there taking photos of the lambs and the next day they were dead.” Two sheep, two goats and two baby lambs were found shot in the first incident with another sheep missing. One of the goats survived, but it had a bullet embedded in its leg. “I had to put one of the sheep down because its whole leg was hanging off,” the man said. “They weren’t marksmen shots, they were just really bad shots, they would have had miserable deaths. “We called the police and they came out but we couldn’t find the seventh sheep. “We found it huddled dead in a bush a couple of days later with a bullet in its leg.” The man said the young lambs and goats were all around two to three weeks old. “There were two lots of twins,” he said. “Then we had two twins born about a week ago and on Saturday night, September 19, we had another two shot.

Safety review after Duranbah crash

By Jo Kennett DURANBAH RESIDENTS have raised concerns about a local road, after a number of near misses and a recent car crash on Wednesday, September 16, prompting Tweed Shire Council to look into the matter. The young male driver of the car was lucky to escape without serious injury when he ran into a power pole on Duranbah Road near Duranbah Public School before hitting a gate at around 9pm. The power pole was snapped in half, causing the power lines to come down and leaving local residents without power for around 18 hours. Glenda Bowkett lives on Duranbah Road and both her and her husband went to the driver’s aid. “My daughter was first on the scene,” she said. “We’d gone to the service station to get milk and she rang and said there were power lines all over the road. “My daughter just got through and didn’t know about the car because you couldn’t see it from the road. “We arrived and the guy who lives in the shed there came out to the road to wave us down. “The pole he hit was for power lines going to the shed and houses, and there were lines down everywhere. “We stopped in the driveway and the car was just down from there and the guy was still in the car.” Mrs Bowkett said her husband helped to get the man out of the vehicle because they were concerned for his safety. “My husband took him out of the car and put him in our car and drove him 200 metres down the road away from the fallen power lines,” she said. “There was steam coming out from his car and a real risk of a fire. “The driver told us he was 17 and had only had his licence for one month.” Mrs Bowkett said the victim was “so lucky”. “He went through the power pole, hit two big palm trees and the gates, and then he stopped,” she said. “He snapped the power pole at the ground.

help us plant 1,000 trees open an account today

“My husband says he was lucky he was in a Commodore with all the safety features and not an old car. “The police were there in a very short time and then the firies arrived.” Mrs Bowkett said there had been other deaths within a kilometre of the accident scene. “We have had a guy killed down the end of our driveway a couple of years ago that died at the scene,” she said. “Another neighbour near the accident site said she is worried about her daughters when they go out to catch the bus. “The speed limit is 80km per hour but it needs to be lowered to 70km per hour.’ Another local resident, who didn’t want to be named, said she wasn’t surprised by the accident as there were near misses on the winding, country road nearly every day. “Duranbah Road really needs lines painted in the middle as the number of near misses all of us locals experience with people driving way over the wrong side of the road is a daily event and weekends are even worse,” she said. “People need to slow down as there are lots of driveways on sharp bends and I think having lines painted would help. “There has been three deaths within one kilometre and that last accident was nearly four. “The contractors have never seen a power pole snapped at the base; he was a very lucky boy.” A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson said Council is currently collecting data on Duranbah Road to better understand any speeding issues. “This information could then be provided to Transport for NSW – which is the authority on speed limits in NSW,” the spokesperson said. “We will review the crash and speed data, alongside line marking and signage on Duranbah Road, at a future Local Traffic Committee meeting to see if changes are needed to be made.” The Local Traffic Committee is made up of Council officers, councillors, Transport for NSW, NSW Police and local members of Parliament.

More bad news in fight to save Tweed Shire koala population

By Jo Kennett THERE’S MORE bad news for Tweed Shire koalas this month with another hit and injured at Terranora on Saturday, September 12, and a second koala euthanased, bringing the total number of koalas hit, injured or killed in the past three weeks, to six. Friends of the Koala committee member Rhonda James said over recent weeks there have been five calls for koalas in backyards at Terranora and locals have also filmed several koalas on the move on Terranora Road. “All these animals have been brought in by Friends of Koalas rescuers and released back in patches of habitat close by,” Ms James said.

“A sixth healthy mature male koala was struck by a vehicle on Terranora Road on Saturday night (September 12) resulting in a broken back leg. “We took him over to the hospital at Lismore. “Fortunately, Friends of the Koala have an on call 24/7 vet and vet nurse who both came in around midnight to stabilise and assess the koala.” Another koala found at Cabarita Beach Sports Club on Sunday, September 13, had to be euthanased. “It turned up at Caba club late Sunday afternoon,” Ms James said. “It was a seven-year-old female who had cysts which is a symptom of chlamydia. “It is certainly a population under pressure.”

Friends of the Koala were also called in to investigate a koala which was found climbing over low scrub on Norries Headland at Cabarita by Annaliese Simke on Wednesday, September 9. “I had been watching dolphins and whales from the headland around sunset when my daughter and I heard a rustle moving through the grass heading up from the beach,” Ms Simke told The Weekly. “We were extremely surprised to see a koala. “It was a young one in very good health. It had probably recently been displaced, but was old enough to find its own patch, but way off track. “I contacted Friends of the Koala immediately for some advice as I was quite concerned for the koala’s

safety getting back across the roads and past dogs back to a good food source. “They were amazing. They were there within 30 minutes. “My daughter and son quietly kept track of the koala with a torch while we waited for them to arrive, but the tricky scallywag had got up a very dense banksia tree (one of a the very few on the headland) and there was no way to coax it down and catch, and return to a more fitting habitat. “We went to look for the koala early the next morning, but it was nowhere to be found so hopefully it got back to safety during the night when there were fewer risks around. “It was an amazing thing to see; we felt very fortunate.”

Ms James said koalas were on the move due to pressures on the local population. “It’s becoming more common due to pressures from limited and fragmented habitat, with the young dispersing from their mothers or males maturing and seeking their own territory” she said. “Often they are chased by dogs and get disorientated and end up in backyards or areas where there is no habitat. “This has happened recently at Terranora and Cabarita headland and they are also highly active because springtime is the breeding season.

NSW Labor also called for clarity on an independent assessment into what they called “the government’s disastrous commercial fishing reforms”, saying many operators were still struggling to stay afloat after the restructure. Labor Shadow Minister for Primary Industries Jenny Aitchison said the recently released Barclay Review was 18 months overdue and damning of the government’s Commercial Fisheries Business Adjustment Program (BAP), raising “serious questions about transparency and the consultation process”. “But there are also numerous inconsistencies in the figures in the report, compared to those previously provided by the Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall and the Department of Primary Industries,” Ms Aitchison said. “Through the Upper House’s ‘Call for Papers’, Labor is seeking all advice, correspondence, documentation and data relating to the Barclay Review to lift the government’s veil of secrecy surrounding this issue – and the reform which has put the fishing industry at risk. “The reforms on catch quotas and fishing vessels were meant to make the industry more viable, but they’ve had the opposite effect.” Ms Aitchison said livelihoods have been destroyed as a result of “this botched reform”. “Commercial fishers deserve to know what the review was based on and why the government failed to support all of its recommendations,” she said. “There are too many inconsistencies in what has been reported to the Parliament and what is in the report. “The Minister and the Department appear to be reluctant to reveal their interactions with the researchers – what is the Minister hiding?” Ms Aitchison said a number of commercial fishers have contacted her office to share their disappointment in the government’s response to the report and their lack of action.

By Jo Kennett A LOCAL fisherman has praised the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party (SFFP) for standing up for commercial fishermen, after a government review found no research was done to justify reforms that sent many fishermen to the wall. Tweed trawler skipper Kev Solway said that Mark Banasiak of the SFFP stood up in Parliament on Wednesday, September 16, on behalf of NSW commercial fishermen. “We are small business people who, like many others, have been shafted by this NSW Liberal National Party,” Mr Solway said. “We are very fortunate to have Mark in our corner. “He has not wavered in his committed support for our industry since the day he entered parliament along with the other members of the SFFP.” Mr Banasiak said stakeholders had been promised a socioeconomic study would be conducted into the reforms since 2017 and when the Barclay Review was finally released it lacked the promised data. “How on earth the BAP (Business Adjustment Program) could have gone ahead with such massive gaps of data on what is essentially crucial information should be investigated,” Mr Banasiak said in Parliament. “Things that should be straightforward like how many shares went up for trading, at what cost, to whom they were sold and why so many fishers had to remortgage their homes to buy their own businesses back or otherwise drop out of the industry. It turns out there is no sense to be made. “Not a single minister or DPI (Department of Primary Industries) bureaucrat can give you the same answer on anything regarding the reform.” The Barclay Review found that an economic and social impacts assessment should have been conducted before the reforms had been implemented, but it still has not been done.

Horror shark attack at Cabarita Beach rocks Tweed Coast the board is in between myself and the shark. “I think that the shark’s done a U-turn and come straight back at me, but instead of being able to get at me, the mast and the wing of the foil board is in its way. “If I was on a normal surfboard it would have given the shark clear access to get back at me and it probably would have taken out my stomach. “The only choice it had was to come at me with an open mouth, and it caught the wing of my foil board, hence why there is a tooth in the wing. “I didn’t see it coming towards me at that stage, I was thrashing and screaming and there was a lot going on.” Mr Bungate said his mate Luke Fitcher was nearby and saw what happened. “He charged straight at me to try and put the shark off or whatever you do,” he said. “From the time I’m on the shark and I’m off that shark and I pulled my board in, it was probably five seconds, it happened that quick. “It was 100 per cent the wings of the foil that saved me; thank you Cloud Nine Foils, you saved me.” Mr Bungate said he was about 50 metres from the impact zone. “I knew I had to get there for a safe zone,’ he said. “I had to get back on my board and my mate was next to me and we scissor kicked and screamed, trying to make as much noise and act as big as we could, all the way to the whitewash.

“I could have kicked through concrete at that stage, I was kicking that hard.” Mr Bungate caught a broken wave and knew he was safe once he got into the shallows. “I couldn’t get off my board quick enough and I just crawled up the beach and lay on my stomach bawling my eyes out,” he said. “I just couldn’t believe it. “There’s people watching this from the headland, running down screaming, and there were about five people around me by the time I got to the beach.” Mr Bungate said he had heard theories that the vibration of the foil might attract sharks. “I’ve heard (big wave surfer) Kai Lenny does a lot of open downwinders and he said he has had sharks come behind him much like a boat, they try and travel in your wake,” Mr Bungate said. “(Pro surfer) Michel Bourez has been bitten on the foil as well. “I don’t know if they’ve been around long enough to test that theory, but I hope not.” Mr Bungate said it was his third life threatening experience in the surf and he hoped he was “all done”. “I’ve been in the water a lot since I was about seven years old and I’m not giving up.” Around the time of the attack a “3.5-metre-plus shark” was sighted by a surfer about 50 metres from shore. “Large white shark appeared out of nowhere to the left of me,” ‘Glenn’ reported on Dorsal, a shark watch app. “It was travelling in a SW direction. So close I could see the

The attack took place about 50 metres off the headland at Cabarita Beach. Inset is an example image of a white shark

eye and head with the pectoral fin gliding underneath me. “Alerted all surfers to go in.” At 5.08pm another surfer reported a “Big white at Cabarita Point. A tank. Swam through line-up and under surfers”. He estimated the shark, presumably the same one which attacked Mr Bungate, as four to five metres long. A group of local surfers were chased out of the water that morning at South Pottsville by a large shark. The previous day, Tuesday, September 15, a surfer reported seeing a very large shark at Casuarina. There was a shark sighted in front of the creek mouth at Hastings Point the morning after the attack, Thursday, September 17, at around 7am and a shark about three-metres long was sighted at Cabarita around midday with many surfers choosing to play it safe and leave the water.

Three days before the Cabarita attack, surfers in the WSL Tweed Coast Pro, including Kingscliff ’s Micah Margieson, were plucked from the water after a shark was sighted at the same break. At 2pm that afternoon, another shark was spotted from the shore during the event with all swimmers and surfers sent into shore. The attack followed the death of surfer Nick Slater at Greenmount on Tuesday, September 8, just after 5pm and the death of Rob Pedretti at South Kingscliff Beach around 10am on June 7. In the days following the attack on Mr Bungate, local surfers were seriously assessing conditions before deciding whether to surf or not, with many opting to give it a miss. Sharks follow the whale migration, however, surfers are questioning why so many sharks are coming in so close to shore this season.

By Jo Kennett A CABARITA surfer has had the fright of his life, as well as the fight of his life, against a shark at his home break on Wednesday, September 16, in a horror attack that has rocked the Tweed Coast surfing community. Christian Bungate was surfing on a foil board when the attack happened off Norries Headland at Cabarita Beach at about 4.30pm. Mr Bungate said he was paddling back out to the point when he saw something in the water to his right which he estimated was around 80cm wide. “I don’t know if it was a great white or what,” he told the ABC in a recorded interview. “It was like there was an oil slick next to me or something, it was so big and I couldn’t understand it and how quickly it came up next to me. “We were both pretty well going parallel out to the headland.” When he realised it was a shark he kicked it as hard as he could. “As I did that it turned a sharp left and it caught the wings on my foil and I was off my board and on top of the bloody thing,” he said. “It was like a rock, it was so hard and rough; I’d been on plenty of rocks before and it felt like a rock. “It was all a bit of a panic at that stage. “By the time I was on top of it I was behind the top fin. “I fell on top of it and then I’m off it and I’ve lost my board and I’m trying to climb to the sky as fast as I can and I’ve got my legrope on and I’m attached to the board and

Drop in emergency department numbers By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE emergency departments (ED) have experienced their lowest rates of patient presentations in years due to the coronavirus, with a more than 20 per cent drop across the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) from April to June, 2020. Murwillumbah District Hospital had a 22.4 per cent decrease in emergency presentations, with 3,380 people attending the ED, according to the latest Bureau of Health Information quarterly report. Of these, 93.2 per cent started treatment on time, an 8.9 percentage point improvement compared to the same period last year. The Tweed Hospital had 10,157 ED attendances in the April to June quarter, a 22.4 per cent decrease, or 2,924 fewer people. Of these, 88.8 per cent started their treatment on time, an 8.6 percentage point increase. Many factors influenced the drop in presentations, including restrictions on activities, a six-week postponement of surgeries and social distancing. There was a 21.1 per cent decrease in ED attendances across the NNSWLHD, a trend that was reflected across the state. There were 41,673 total emergency presentations compared with 52,794 in the same period last year, a reduction of more than 11,000 people. The largest reductions were in the semiurgent (T4) and non-urgent (T5) categories, which were down by 25.2 per cent and 25.7 per cent respectively. NNSWLHD Chief Executive Wayne Jones said the drop in presentations coincided with increased restrictions on community gatherings and activities, as well as people practising social distancing and better hand hygiene in response to the pandemic. “Over the past six months we have had to significantly change our behaviour, and there’s no doubt that has impacted on the numbers

of people we’re seeing through our hospitals,” Mr Jones said. “The restrictions meant Northern NSW residents were moving less frequently around the community, socialising less, and not participating in regular activities like competitive sport. “We also know there has been a significant reduction in flu-like illness this year, with people adopting the public health advice around good respiratory and hand hygiene.” In regards to mental health services, NNSWLHD said it was “committed to reducing and where possible, eliminating seclusion and restraint, and providing the best possible mental health care in the least restrictive environment”. “During the April to June quarter, there were 443 acute mental health episodes of care across the specialised mental health units, with 224 at Lismore and 219 at Tweed,” NNSWLHD said. “The rate of seclusion at Lismore was 10 per 1,000 bed days and at Tweed it was 5 per 1,000 bed days. The NSW average rate is 7.3 per 1,000 bed days. “The rate of physical restraint at Lismore was 4.3 per 1,000 bed days and at Tweed it was 8.6. The NSW average rate is 9.6 per 1,000 bed days.”

Progress on the new hospital is progressing well said Health Infrastruture, who took the above photo.

Hospital construction on track for 2023 By Jonathon Howard CONSTRUCTION WORKS on the new Tweed Valley Hospital are storming ahead with several key infrastructure pieces completed and the hospital on track for completion by 2023, according to Health Infrastructure (HI). The Weekly requested an update on the site from HI this month and a statement said the new hospital’s groundworks were now completed, including the piles for the Linac (linear accelerator) bunker that will house the new radiation oncology service. “Site-wide services including the water connection have also been finalised,” a spokesperson for HI said. “Substructure works commenced in late July, 2020, and local Tweed-based civil construction company, CD Excavations, completed the first major concrete pour for the lift core and stair bases for the main hospital building in mid-August. “Construction on the main works are expected to start by the end of the year once the detailed design has been completed and the main works contract is awarded.” HI said main works include construction of the main hospital building and rooftop helipad, internal roads, set down areas and car parking, landscaping and wetland

rehabilitation, an electrical substation, public domain works and external roadworks which includes upgrades to the intersection of Tweed Coast Road and Cudgen Road, and a new signalised intersection on Cudgen Road. “Detailed design commenced in March 2020 and is expected to be finalised by the end of the year,” the HI spokesperson said. “Detailed design looks at specific room and ward layouts, as well as finalising the building façade, and includes developing a complete list of technology, furniture, fixtures and equipment. “The detail design process includes extensive input from our Project User Groups (PUGs), made up of clinicians, operational staff, patients, carers, as well as members of the community, to ensure the best clinical and patient outcomes.” HI said there are more than 40 PUGs involved in the planning and design of the new Tweed Valley Hospital. “The NSW Government’s $673.2 million investment in the Tweed Valley Hospital Development is the largest regional health infrastructure investment in NSW and will deliver a new regional referral hospital, along with interim upgrades to the current Tweed Hospital,” HI said. “The hospital is on track to open to patients in 2023.”

Health Infrastructure working with South Sea Islanders By Jonathon Howard HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE (HI) says it is working with the local Australian South Sea Islander community to incorporate their requests into the Tweed Valley Hospital landscape design. The hospital’s site and design meant several dry-stone rock walls, considered to hold significant historical value to South Sea Islander communities, were required to be removed. While the majority of the walls, including a surrounding wall, remain on the site, HI had negotiated a plan to incorporate the stones back into the hospital’s design. While there are many design options available, HI’s spokesperson said it is working with the local Australian South Sea Islander (ASSI) community to incorporate ASSI history in the new hospital’s landscape design, art and cultural interpretation strategy. “As part of this consultation, an ASSI stakeholder committee has been established to inform the strategy development including incorporation of the dry-stone walls within the hospital campus,” HI said. “A Community Stakeholder Committee was formed earlier this year to progress plans for creating a reflection space for all hospital users to enjoy.

“Concepts of how stones from the walls could be used within the hospital landscape design have been presented to the committee for input and feedback and preferred options are being progressed to a detailed design.” HI said it had a representative from the committee appointed to the “Arts Working Group to provide input to the Tweed Valley Hospital Art Strategy”. “Health Infrastructure is committed to working with the local ASSI community to shape the interpretation strategy and ensure the outcome is meaningful to the community,” HI said.

Border restrictions to ease soon

to travel to Queensland and Queenslanders can freely travel into those additional NSW areas, “but will still need to apply for a border pass”. Deputy Premier Steven Miles said there were 152,000 residents in the border zones who would now be able to travel into Queensland. “These are people who might live in New South Wales but very often they feel a closer affinity to Queensland,” Mr Miles said. “They live closer to Queensland than they do to Sydney. In further news, from Friday, September 25, residents will be allowed to travel to and from the ACT via air and South Australia opened its borders to NSW residents on Wednesday, September 23. Queensland had recorded no new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, September 22, and just 16 cases remain active. The Tweed Shire has had no new cases of coronavirus since April.

By Jonathon Howard BORDER RESTRICTIONS for Northern Rivers residents are set to ease from 1am on Thursday, October 1, with Queensland shifting its border zone further south and bringing in five NSW local government areas including Byron and Ballina. The easing of the border regime removes Queensland’s border bubble zone at Ormeau, which means people living in NSW border zones will be allowed to travel anywhere within Queensland without going into quarantine. For example, a Brisbane resident will be allowed to travel to Casino and a Tweed resident could visit Cairns. The easing of restrictions also means Tweed residents can travel as far south as the Richmond Valley area without requiring quarantine to enter Queensland.

Aura Gardens Nursery well received By Jonathon Howard A NEW garden nursery in Murwillumbah, known as Aura, has breathed new life into the 36 Wollumbin Street site by offering a great range of flora for any purpose. Owners Anthony McDonald and Mark Telfer said they packed up their lives in Brisbane and moved to Murwillumbah two years ago. “We just really loved the energy and people down here, it’s a great place,� Anthony said. The pair have divided up the workload based on their expertise, with Mark the green thumb keeping the plants thriving as a qualified horticulturist and Anthony using his business nous running the business side while studying horticulture. “We have come past the site here for the past 20 years and eventually saw it was vacated and thought it looked perfect for us,� Mark said. The pair worked off a blank canvas and have kept the site clean and open while offering a great range of decorative, purposeful, and unique plant life and products.

The business has had a positive reception with the nursery already busy and receiving great feedback from locals. “We’ve had some great feedback from locals,� Anthony said. “We had a lady in her 90s visit and tell us all about the history of the site, including that the Murwillumbah Hospital used the be out the back and some of the uses for the site over the years. “We love talking to locals and providing for their garden needs and would encourage others to come and visit and check out our range.� Anthony designed the Aura logo, which was inspired through tree of life. “It was an idea I always had in my head and it was great to finally see it become a reality,� he said.

By Jonathon Howard TWO TWEED Shire residents have struck it rich from the Lotto in the past two weeks, claiming more than half a million dollars each, and one was by accident. The first winner was a Hastings Point couple travelling around Australia who had “mistakenly bought the wrong lottery ticket”, but landed $621,000 in the Saturday Gold Lotto prize. “The duo held one of the eight division one winning entries across the country in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4085 on Saturday, September 2020. Each entry won a division one prize of $621,499.92,” Lotto said in a media statement. “The happy pair did not register their entry to a player card, so officials from the Lott had no way of contacting the winner and had to wait for them to come forward.” Lotto noted the winning entry was purchased in Emerald at the newsXpress Central Highlands. “Oh wow! Oh my god!” the winning man said. “I am flabbergasted. “You’ve made our day, our week, our year.” When asked how they planned to enjoy their prize, the overjoyed duo said they already had a few ideas. “We’ve been living in our caravan in Queensland for the past few months, so this means we can update it and get a new one,” the winning man said. “We will also share it with our family and use some for more travelling. “The rest we will save for the future.” The second winner came from a ticket at Tweed Mall News where a Tweed Heads resident or visitor who won $740,000 after scoring division one had still not come forward to claim their prize. “The New South Wales player held one of the seven division one winning entries across Australia in Saturday Lotto draw 4087 on

Are you thinking of making improvements to your home?

However, it’s important to know that many houses built before 1990 contain asbestos cement materials, especially in the eaves, ceilings, internal and external wall cladding (particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries), as well as under tiling and lino. Old sheds and fences may also contain asbestos. These can often be in poor condition due to age or weather exposure and pose a significant risk if asbestos fibres are released, become airborne and then inhaled. Breathing these fibres can cause a range of lifethreatening diseases including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. If you think there may be asbestos in or around your property, you should contact an asbestos professional (asbestos assessor or licensed removalist) before starting any work on your home.

Engaging professionals who know how to manage this work safely will protect you, your family and your neighbours from this risk. Currently, asbestos assessors and licensed removalists are continuing to work. Still, some may choose not to come to your house as a precautionary measure. If you do arrange for an asbestos professional to come to your home during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a number of precautions you should take to ensure correct hygiene and social distancing measures are in place: • Check-in with the asbestos professional before they visit to ensure you are both feeling well and are not showing symptoms. If anyone in your home is showing symptoms linked to COVID-19, ask the asbestos professional to advise you on how to control the risk of asbestos exposure until you are able to have the professional attend. • Remember don’t shake hands, you can wave hello instead • Maintain a safe distance at all times

in line with current social distancing guidelines • Provide facilities for the professional to wash their hands before and after the job is done and, if possible, supply alcohol-based hand sanitiser for them to use • Clean and disinfect the surrounding surfaces if work is to be carried out (unless suspected asbestos has been disturbed or is in poor condition) • Ensure everyone in the household practises good hygiene at all times including covering coughs and

sneezes with an elbow or a tissue and regularly washing hands with soap for a full 20 seconds There are resources available to help you to minimise the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in circumstances where you must have professional tradespeople attend your home. Remember - if you are unsure if something contains asbestos, treat it as if it does and call a professional. It’s just not worth risking your health or the health of your loved ones.

One hundred and still gardening at home for Vida Surf club volunteers needed

Vida with her letter from the Queen

“I’ve had a long life, it’s been very interesting.” Ms Whitworth said the key to her long life was giving herself a job to do each day and taking life one day at a time. “I take every day as it comes and try to plant something, pull out a few weeds or tidy up a little bit around the place,” she said. “It’s very important to keep busy, as once you slacken up you might as well say goodbye.” The mother of five children, ten grandchildren, eight greatgrandchildren and three great-greatgrandchildren (with one more due in November), moved from Scotland to Australia as a young child. “My parents came out when I was sixteen months old, but I couldn’t come with them because I had whooping cough,” Ms Whitworth said. “It was just one of those things, so they left me with my grandmother who looked after me until she passed away and then I came out when I was five years old. “They appointed a lady as a guardian on the boat and I came out as a ward of the state to Melbourne where my father picked me up from the wharf. “I’ve had a varied life, I’ve lived on a poultry farm, a sheep station, a dairy and an orchard. “I’ve also worked in factories including one that made the first television sets. “I went to about half a dozen different schools including one which was home learning, which is like what they have today with coronavirus. “It was called correspondence in those days, you got the lessons on a Monday and sent them back on a Friday, so I left all the hard things until

Vida is celebrating her 100th birthday and is still going strong

Friday morning and then I’d have to run to catch the mailman, who back then came in a truck as he also carried other things like groceries. “At another school I went to in Victoria, we used to have to walk along the railway line to get there, luckily it only had two trains all day so it was quite safe. “Later on, my father bought a pony for me to ride to school, but it was blind, so you can imagine what that was like,” she laughed. In 1939 she married her husband Arthur Richard Whitworth at Granville registry office in Sydney. The couple were married for fifty years until he passed away. “Even though one hundred years is a long time, I don’t think about my age, I just take one day at a time,” she said. “I think what I am most proud of is my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren and my greatgreat-grandchildren.” Ms Whitworth will celebrate her one hundredth birthday this Sunday, September 27, at Mavis’s Kitchen with friends from the Murwillumbah Quilters and her family.

CABARITA BEACH Surf Life Saving Club is hoping to attract new volunteers for the start of the patrol season, which begins on Saturday, September 26. Director of Surf Life Saving at the club, Murray Neale, said numbers of patrol members had been dwindling over the last few years. “We are really keen to get people,” Mr Neale told The Weekly. “With the COVID blues and not being able to go out anywhere much, or travel much, where would you rather be than the number one beach in Australia? “If people are interested, even if they can’t swim or don’t want to do their bronze, there are a lot of positions that need filling in the club, so they can still be a great service to the community.” Mr Neale said the club was “like a big family.” “We have had people who have got sick and everyone helps to look after them, doing things like mowing their lawns,” he said. “If you come into a new area and you don’t know people, it’s a great way to meet people. “It’s very rewarding when you do something that saves a life. “It’s a very friendly club and it’s just an all-round good club, especially if you have kids that want to do nippers; we pride themselves on that; it’s not all about being the best at nippers. “They learn how to do the basics, then to do rescues and then their bronze. “My kids have their IRB crewie and drivers certification.” Mr Neale said the introduction of drone patrols provided plenty of fun opportunities. “We have to train people up to operate drones and there’s no better way to enjoy the ocean, the whales and dolphins,” he said. “It’s a great thing for young people, or old people, and even if you have a disability, you can still fly a drone, so it gives other people an opportunity to be a part of it. “We have wheelchair access, so if you are in a wheelchair, you could operate a drone or be a radio operator, there are always ways to help out.” Mr Neale said it was great to be a part of something and feel like you belong. “Especially these days, with mental health problems with COVID, it’s important to feel like you belong,” he said.

By Megan Albany VIDA WHITWORTH, who turns one hundred this Tuesday, September 29, received a fitting birthday present of a centenary rose from her neighbour, as recognition for her dedication to her garden. Ms Whitworth who moved to her daughter’s property in Midginbil five years ago at the ripe young age of ninety five, makes it her job to keep their garden blooming. “She’s a very good gardener,” said her daughter Diane Selinger. “You wouldn’t believe the job she has done here, she cleared about a quarter of an acre of lantana when she first moved here and five years on she’s slowed down a bit, but she still keeps us on our toes,” she said. “The neighbour’s even trying to get her to go to his place to improve his garden, but the price he’s prepared to pay might need to be a bit more than just a rose bush.” Chatting to Ms Whitworth, you could be forgiven for forgetting that the bright and witty interviewee is a centenarian, even though she has a letter from the queen to prove it. “I received cards from the Queen, the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the local member,” she said.

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

Rain puts dampener on harvest Other SRA activities include biosecurity, and pest and disease control. Several Tweed growers have trialled plots of new cane varieties on their farms and the SRA staff harvest these fields and carefully evaluate each newly-bred cane. This is a particularly important procedure because there are hundreds of new cane varieties bred annually and only a small number will reach commercial viability, which can take several years. Sunshine Sugar Ag Services also play a vital role in this process by propagating the commercial varieties of cane and distributing them to growers. Each of the three NSW mill areas has qualified agronomists to advise growers about soil health, and pest and disease control, as well as variety selection. This year’s planting season is now well underway and with the warm days, spring certainly has arrived. Best wishes and until next time. Rob Hawken

Foodbank is committed to feeding more than 800,000 Aussies

Sunshine Sugar gets behind Foodbank

By Jonathon Howard SUNSHINE SUGAR is throwing its support behind Foodbank, to help provide vital food to more than 815,000 Australians via a network of 2,400 charities. According to recent figures, there are around five million Australians who have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months, and the number of people seeking food relief from charities is increasing. It is the human reality behind these figures that drives the network of local, state and national Foodbank staff, volunteers and partners to do the amazing work they do in providing food, with Sunshine Sugar one food manufacturer actively supporting Foodbank in this massive and highly coordinated effort. “As the only 100 per cent Australian grown, made and owned sugar producer, we take the food security of our fellow Australians very seriously,” Sunshine Sugar’s CEO Chris Connors said. The NSW sugar industry has been a donor to Simplot’s annual campaign to make 85,500 jars of Leggo’s pasta sauce for Foodbank for several years.

The extent of support from Sunshine Sugar has now grown to include the supply of low GI sugar in retail packs for donation to individuals and households in need of essential food items across the nation. Low GI sugar is a wholesome cane sugar that retains naturally occurring and beneficial antioxidants. Being low in GI or glycemic index, means that it is more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised – resulting in a lower and slower rise in blood glucose levels. National Agriculture Program Manager for Foodbank, Jacqui Payne, said Sunshine Sugar is sending supplies of their low GI sugar to their network of distribution centres. “It will then make its way into our supply chain, with the help of our state-based teams and an army of wonderful volunteers who pick, pack and get the food to where it’s needed,” she said. Foodbank estimates that 50 per cent more food is needed to provide enough for the number of people seeking assistance.

RECENT RAIN events during the last three weeks have disrupted harvesting and planting operations across the Tweed district’s cane farms, with several days of Condong Mill stoppages. Also, cane straw baling has become difficult with wet straw and soggy ground conditions. However, overall, the rain will be of benefit and will promote good growing conditions for the planted cane once it is in the ground. This contrasts with the last two seasons when the area was experiencing record dry spring and summer conditions. A wet spring will also be great for the district’s banana and small crop farms and pastures, as well as hopefully reducing the bushfire risk. NSW canegrowers are well served by the Australia-wide research body, Sugar Research Australia (SRA), which is instrumental in breeding new cane varieties for our industry each year.

Good Samaritan bashed going to elderly woman’s rescue By Jo Kennett AN ELDERLY woman and a man were brutally bashed in broad daylight at Kingscliff on Thursday, September 17, sparking calls for action from local residents. The incident happened in Pearl Lane, near a notorious housing commission block of units, and locals say they are “fed up with the violence and crime in the area�. One witness, who didn’t want to be named, said she came home around 5pm and saw the whole thing unfold. “I pulled into Pearl Lane to go into my parking space and it was full on,� she said. “There was an elderly woman lying on the street and another one holding her hand and there were a bunch of people there. “One of my neighbours was there trying to constrain the guy who was going nuts.� The woman said she sped down the alleyway honking her horn and then stayed in her car with the door locked and called the police. “From what I heard, my neighbour went to help the lady and that’s when he was attacked,� she said. “The guy pushed him to the ground and he was knocked unconscious and this guy was just going to town on him. “He was stomping on his face and kicking and punching him and there were people standing there, but no one could contain him. “Someone came out with a baseball bat and it changed hands a few times and some of my

neighbours came out and were holding everyone back.� The woman said the attacker kept going back to beat her neighbour. “As soon as the cops got there with the dogs I left,� she said. “The guy who was attacked is a single dad and he is out of hospital now. “He is missing teeth and my neighbour said it looked like his lip had been ripped off and they were going to operate on that, but they didn’t in the end. “I’m not sure about his head injuries. “The guy could easily have killed the lady, she was in her 70s or 80s and was so thin and I heard her skull was fractured. “You’d have to be off your head to attack someone like that.� The woman said the attacker was staying with his mother in the housing commission units. “He was probably in his 30s and has threatened another person I know,� she said. “He is just wandering around the street with everyone scared. “I think he is in jail now, but what happens if he gets out in six months’ time and comes back?� The woman and another resident contacted Housing NSW about the problems at the units and say they were just given “the usual line� about investigating the incident. “A lot of people don’t want to draw attention to it, but I don’t care,� she said. “This is not the first brutal attack that has happened there.

“There is drug dealing going on there and I’ve heard there is prostitution as well. “People are coming here to buy ice and other drugs and they are just robbing these McMansions to get the money. “My neighbour had a man walk in from those units and rob him when he was in the house.� The woman said she wanted to see Kingscliff Police Station reopen. “We never see the police here, but there was a lot around when COVID was first happening,� she said. “There are systemic issues that need to be cleaned up though, they need drug rehabilitation because the ice epidemic is completely out of hand, even with young people. “Then maybe drug checks and criminal history checks (for housing commission applicants). “They need counselling and rehabilitation and there are a lot of mental health problems. “If you experience trauma, violence and drug abuse when you are young, you turn to those things.� The woman said if resources were put into helping people, then “these issues (the bashings) don’t happen�. “Why are they addicted to drugs and beating up on each other?� she said. “Why is there so much domestic violence in Australia? “There is a massive need for community housing in Australia, but you can’t just throw them in a block together with no resources.

The shocking incident occurred in Pearl Lane, Kingscli, indicated on the map above

“What’s it going to take? Is it going to take this happening to a little girl? “I can’t walk home at night because I don’t feel safe, but this happened in the middle of the day right next to a school. “We are completely defenceless and reliant on the government or police.� Another woman said she called police and four police cars, police dogs and two ambulances turned up. “The man that did it had walked away to his unit, but he was very well-known to police and they went in with the dogs and handcuffed him and threw him in the back of

the vehicle and he has been in jail ever since I think,� she said. “He went to court on Friday, but it was adjourned until Monday, September 21. “The thing that frustrates me is that the housing department gets all these complaints, but doesn’t seem to be able to do something until someone gets hurt. “What happens if someone gets killed? Geoff Provest said just keep reporting to police. “He isn’t supposed to be there but what’s to stop him going back. “He is a walking firecracker ready to explode at anyone who looks at him the wrong way, it doesn’t matter what time it is.�

Casuarina residents terrorised by youth gang By Jo Kennett A TWEED Shire Councillor has written to the local police chief calling for action to be taken against a gang of youngsters terrorising Casuarina. Casuarina resident Cr James Owen said he has written to Tweed Byron Police District Local Area Commander Superintendent Dave Roptell about the issue and would also raise the matter at the Tweed Byron Community Safety Precinct meeting. Local residents say a gang of youths have caused thousands of dollars in damage by throwing rocks and eggs at passing cars and have also been stealing and harassing shoppers at Salt and Casuarina. One resident told The Weekly that she had been confronted by youths outside the supermarket. “I am in my 60s, disabled and find it very confronting when they are gathered around the shops there of an evening,” the woman, who didn’t want to be identified said. “I went into Coles and came out and had several of them riding bikes and bringing the front wheel up off the ground while riding very close to me and around me. “There were a lot of them, in groups of girls and boys, and they were very young.” The woman said she “felt very unsafe with them there.” “I was by myself and it was dark,” she said. “On the other occasion, I was followed to my car in the car park and they hung around till I drove off. “This should be stopped immediately.

“I am at the point where I will not go to the shops there at night because I feel unsafe.” Another woman said she had a message from her retired neighbours asking if they could see anything going on beside their property. “We often have kids walking through to Coles, they hang out in the pit between The Commons and Tweed Coast Road,” she said. “It was dark, probably about 9pm last Wednesday night, and we went over but couldn’t see anything. “Someone else in the street said there were kids milling around our fence and car.” The woman spoke to the retirees who said they could hear the youths running around the back and they had a fire lit against the fence. “There was some damage to their gate,” she said. “I phoned the police and they said they were very busy and would try to come down. “These retirees are feeling really vulnerable and it has been going on for days. “Then there was a knock on the door and it was one of the kids asking if we had his bike. “I thought I knew him and he ran and I gave chase and then he was with a gang of kids.” The woman said a car then pulled up and it was the parents of the boy. “They were very aggressive, saying ‘have you got their bikes’,” she said. “I was quite calm and said, ‘I don’t know where your kids’ bikes are, but you need to ask yourself what they are doing here at this time of night’. “I have empathy if the parents said they were sorry, but it’s the aggressive behaviour back.

“My partner turned to the boy’s father and said, ‘they came at me with sticks’. “The kid said he didn’t and the kids were swearing at us and to be fair his father told him to shut his mouth.” The woman said she didn’t want to ruin the boy’s life, but she had reported the matter to police. “He is well-known to the police,” she said. “He has thrown rocks from bridges and yesterday the same kids were over there and there was a python and they were throwing rocks at it. “Two of the chefs from a Salt cafe had run after them, they said they had been tormenting them (the chefs) all day and had been knocking wait staff over cycling past. “They said they had just had enough because the police aren’t doing anything.” The woman said the community “has just had enough.” “The lady across the road had her house pelted with eggs one night and they are throwing rocks at cars almost every week and someone will get hurt,” she said. The woman said she felt for the other local kids who were being mistaken for the gang of youths. “My neighbour has a fourteen-yearold and he is a lovely kid and he says, people look at us like we’re them,” the woman said.

The Bosch and Rockit crew on set at Pottsville

Hollywood back at Tweed By Jo Kennett THERE WAS great excitement at Pottsville when word got around that one of the Hemsworth brothers was in town on the set of a new feature film on Thursday, September 17. Former Neighbours star Luke Hemsworth, older brother of Liam and Chris, was in town filming Bosch and Rockit, a movie about a young father who goes on the run for drug dealing with his surf gang, taking his 13-year-old son Rockit – who thinks he is on a holiday with his father. The film is writer and director Tyler Atkins’ feature debut and is based on real events, with Hemsworth playing Bosch and 15-year-old Rasmus King playing his son Rockit. Surfing prodigy turned actor, King, is the younger brother of Byron Bay surfer Kyuss King, touted as one of the best groms in the world. Former Home and Away star Isabel Lucas plays a photographer and Bosch’s love interest. Well-known actor Martin Sacks plays a cop in the film and is believed to have been on set with Lucas, Hemsworth and King at Pottsville. The crew were at the site of the Pottsville markets between Tweed Coast Road and Coronation Drive filming a car scene. The independent production also filmed scenes around Hastings Point headland. On Wednesday, September 9, scenes for a National Geographic conservation documentary on sharks were filmed at Hastings Point, with Mick Fanning, who stars in the film, on set. A crew of 15 from Sealight Pictures filmed a surf sequence with Fanning on the beach on the north side of Hastings Point. Less than a week after the 2015 great white attack in South Africa that made Fanning famous around the world, he went to Hastings Point with a 60 Minutes crew to film his return to the water when another shark sighting saw him plucked from the water to safety on a jet ski. Save this Shark is directed by award winning filmmakers Michael Lawrence (Bra Boys) and surf filmmaker Taylor Steele.

Liz Grace, Michael Grace and Emma Sweeney looking forward to sailing

By Commodore Bill Fenelon A TOTAL of 28 crews sailed the longest course of the Tweed River last Sunday, September 20, for the seventh annual Tweed River Passage Race. Fourteen boats lined up at Condong with the finishing line at Fingal Head. Motorists travelling along Tweed Valley Way would have been surprised to see a sailing race right beside the highway. It was a perfect spring day, early light rain developed into a sunny day, but the fleet had to sail against a contrary wind. Starting at 11am in a 10-knot breeze, Kate Yeomans, sailing a Laser, quickly moved to the front and would lead the entire passage, arriving at Fingal Head in three hours and 33 minutes. It was a dominant display from Kate, sailing with perfect power to weight ratio and beating second place by 19 minutes. The main group followed in a tight bunch, initially headed by Monique Smith, also in a Laser. Monique held a strong grip on second until the Tumbulgum bridge. Winds swirling around the bridge pylons held her back, and in short time, three Corsairs slipped in front.

Difficult winds are always a feature of this race and although this year the wind was generally steady, there are sections of the river that have zero wind. By the time the fleet arrived on the Fingal reach, six boats were closely bunched and finished within eight minutes of each other after beating straight into the wind all the way from Condong. Many crews sailed this race for the first time and everyone deserves a big congratulations for taking on the tough conditions and managing to finish this difficult race. Final results Scratch; first Laser was ‘Bluey’, Kate Yeomans; second was Corsair ‘Monopoly’, Andrew Lamont, Craig Foley and John Morgan; third was Corsair ‘Nimbis’, Debbie Jones and Scott Jones; and fourth Laser ‘Rolling Stone’, Monique Smith. Yardstick (corrected): first Laser ‘Bluey’, Kate Yeomans; second Corsair ‘Monopoly’, Andrew Lamont, Craig Foley and John Morgan; third 125 class ‘Paper Plane’, Matt Andrews and Melissa Le Roux; fourth Corsair 396 ‘Nimbis’, Debbie Jones and Scott Jones. The TVSC is commencing its summer series next Sunday. All races start with a briefing at 12pm. Race start is at 1pm (NSW time).

The Weekly caught up with Williams group sales and marketing manager Steve Sutton recently to learn more about the partnership and benefits to customers. Husqvarna has an extraordinary history dating back to its founding in 1689, near the town of Huskvarna in Sweden. The company started out as a maker of muskets and the Husqvarna logo still depicts a gun sight viewed from the end of the barrel. “Williams has an 85-year history of servicing the local community and we

ANZ MURWILLUMBAH has recently announced a significant boost to the Pottsville Beach Tennis Club with a $10,000 ANZ Community Grant along with a raft of other support and merchandise. The coastal tennis club is one of 20 recipients of the bank’s community grant program, which helps support and develop local tennis clubs who deliver the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program. For the past three years, ANZ has awarded $600,000 of grant funds to deserving tennis communities across Australia. ANZ Murwillumbah Branch Manager Jamie Baker said in addition to receiving a $10,000 ANZ Community Grant, Pottsville Beach Tennis Club will receive merchandise, equipment, signage and access to a local ANZ specialist to help them with their finances. “Pottsville Beach Tennis Club will use the grant to futureproof their club by upgrading their fencing,” Mr Baker said. “The new fencing will protect the many tennis balls hit at the club from finding an escape and rolling far into the distance. “The club will also install curtain netting in between their main courts, allowing for less court cross over with players.” With 2020 becoming one of the most challenging years for Australians, the reward comes at the right time for the club who is looking forward to reopening its doors to the community. “We’re excited to present Pottsville Beach Tennis Club with this ANZ Tennis Hot Shots community grant,” Mr Baker said. Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said the club is a wonderful part of our community and a great supporter of ongoing grassroots tennis. “This is a wonderful opportunity allowing Pottsville Beach Tennis Club to make some exciting changes and provide their members with the best experience possible,” he said. “We are look forward to seeing Pottsville Beach Tennis Club prosper and we’d like to thank ANZ for its ongoing support of tennis in our community and the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots program.”

Students’ efforts recognised through BASE Youth Leadership awards

Tweed River High year 12 student Rubin Duroux was a combined winner of the Youth Spirit Award. “The award to me means uniting as one to support and encourage each other, to thrive to be our absolute best of ourselves”.

Tweed River High year 12 student Luke Jefferies was a nominee in the leadership award: “The nominations means a lot for the opportunities such as scholarship, representing the school and meeting new people”.

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED Shire students have risen above the adversities of this year by achieving outstanding results and earning themselves a coveted 2020 BASE Youth Leadership Award or nomination. The BASE awards aim to celebrate our senior students and this year included a youth spirit award, outstanding leaders, academics, and community services. Among the big winners was a combined award to Murwillumbah High student and vice-captain Ethan Graham along with Tweed River High School student Ruben Duroux, for the 2020 Youth Spirit Award. Despite battling through remote learning, and constant concerns around the cancellation of schoolies, the students said they were coping and “didn’t care much for schoolies”. Murwillumbah High School captain Jasper Tiffen was a finalist in the academic and leadership award along with Tweed River High School senior student Lachlan Finch, who was also a finalist in the same category. Another Tweed River High student, Adam Lewis, was also a finalist in the community service and citizenship award. Murwillumbah High principal Peter Howes said he was “extremely proud” of the students’ efforts under tough circumstances this year. Mr Howes heaped praise on both Ethan and Jasper who he described as exceptional students with bright futures ahead. “To be a leader you need to take risks in a respectful way and this is what we have seen from Jasper and Ethan, who have stepped outside the

Senior student Ethan Graham receiving the award

normal approach and still managed to excel,” he said. Mr Howes said the BASE Leadership Awards would normally involve a breakfast celebration and awards ceremony. “Shame they couldn’t have a breakfast for the students and staff this year. However, it is great to celebrate the achievements with their peers today and acknowledge their efforts, which have been outstanding,” he said. Ethan told The Weekly he tried his hardest to make a difference in the school community. “I’ve also been a part of the Tweed Shire Youth Council,” he said. Ethan said he hopes to go to university to study a Bachelor of Politics and Philosophy arts degree. “I’m hoping to make a difference to people’s lives,” he said. Jasper was invited to the BASE Youth Leadership award breakfast last year and was approached this year. “Our teachers put in a good word that we would be good candidates,” he said. Jasper is now hoping to study physics and biology and just got his early entry approved for Wollongong University. “I’m keen to just increase my knowledge and I’m even considering a teaching job in the future,” he said. Both Jasper and Ethan said their advice for other students including those struggling this year was simple “find something you like about learning”. “It’s definitely about trying to find the things you love in learning and the content you’re interested in,” Jasper said.

Senior student Jasper Tiffen receiving the award

Tweed River High year 12 student Lachlan Finch was a nominee in the Academic Excellence & Leadership: “This nomination gave me motivation to work hard going into a COVID-19 affected school year. Established a better look into the business world as well as into the qualities that define a leader. It gave me the chance to tell my story and talk about the fact that despite the challenges you face that giving up is not the answer”.

Tweed River High year 12 student Adam Lewis was nominated in the Community Service & Citizenship Award: “BASE Youth Leadership award and ceremony means collaboration with other leaders around the area that show the same sort of passion that I have. It also means meeting new people”.

Book a trusted local top tradie WHEN YOU use one of The Weekly’s Top Tradies and Services (here and see pages 42 to 45) you know you’re booking a trusted local operator that’s both qualified, has an outstanding local reputation and can offer you competitive quotes. These days the Internet is awash with bogus information that can often make a simple task of booking a local tradesperson overwhelming and even complicated. By using The Weekly’s Trades and Services you know you’re dealing with a tradesperson that understands the local area, has a track record and solid qualifications. Remember, local tradespeople provide lasting employment, understand the local conditions and are just around the corner when you need them. Our local tradies are also highly qualified with established credentials, licensing and can help to recommend other

tradespeople to help with all your home, garden or business maintenance needs. Another reason to use our trusted local tradies is for the “buy local” principal, which provides you stronger ties to the Tweed Shire community and you never know who you might meet with friendships that can last a lifetime. If you had a good experience with a local tradesperson, you might recommend them to a friend, who in turn recommends them to another friend and the “buy local” cycle begins. So, the next time you pick up the phone to call on a tradie, think local and reach for The Weekly and we can all help strengthen our community and our future. Remember to tell ‘em The Weekly sent you!

Your Local What’s new at the market

38 Local Food Bowl Thursday, September 24, 2020

into a more sustainable farm that works within the varied climate in the Northern Rivers. They have certainly faced many challenges along the way with limited water available – a problem faced by many of our farmers late last year. Some were so low on water they were only days away from completely running out. Natalie and Paul also faced fires raging all around them. And from time to time in their area, they are challenged by hailstorms. In 2020, we’ve all had to deal with COVID-19 and of course this also affects how farms can operate as they each write their own COVIDsafe plans. Thankfully this year the weather has been a little kinder, so fingers crossed it continues throughout summer. Excitingly though, Natalie and Paul have been working towards more sustainable farming practices with better flavoured blueberries. The varieties grown are selected for their flavour, apple-like crunch and consistently large size. Growing these new and improved varieties also results in more efficient inputs on the farm, greater yield per hectare and more disease immunity resulting in less chemical reliance, but definitely not GMO.

Paul and Natalie are also introducing in-field packing – that means their berries are coming straight from the paddock to you at the market, so they will last longer, only if you don’t eat them all at once. While the blueberry season used to be from August to late October, Paul and Natalie continue to adapt their research and their farming strategies to extend the season of both their raspberries and their blueberries. Now they have blueberries fruiting from July to December. Of course the weather does have an impact and there will always be variations, especially when they are replacing old plants with new ones too. There is no doubt that Natalie and Paul are both very passionate and fully invested in getting the best quality possible for us to enjoy. Back by popular demand is another Summit Organics Farm Tour so if you missed out last time, this Saturday, September 26, may be your opportunity.

What’s great at the market this Stay safe by complying week? with our market rules So much is great right now with

so many leafy greens and a huge variety of produce generally. September is the time for new season sebago potatoes. Digging commenced early this month at Jumping Red Ant with well over 600 kilograms produced. Some have been picked before the plant had fully died back as this section of the farm is being prepared for new planting. These potatoes are still superb to eat, but only last a few weeks in storage instead of many weeks. Briana assured me though that they also have plenty of the sebagos from fully mature plants and these have a much longer storage life. Both are delicious. The choice is yours. Popular potato varieties grown in Australia include sebago, pontiac and desiree, that are neither particularly waxy nor floury meaning they are great all-rounders. We don’t really have to know our potatoes when shopping at the market. So thanks Jumping Red Ant for growing an all-rounder for us to enjoy. Once again, in relation to all our farmers and producers, we are so very, very lucky.

IS THERE anyone who doesn’t love blueberries? Only if you haven’t yet eaten Tallogum Berries blueberries because we know that once you try these, you will understand why there is a rush to buy them every week. It is all about flavour. And right now they are at their seasonal best – big, sweet and juicy. This month we are shining the spotlight on another farming family. Tallogum Berries is a family business owned and run by Paul Lloyd and Natalie Bell along with their two young children. Paul and Natalie both come from farming backgrounds. Paul came out of production horticulture in Victoria and spent a decade running supply chain logistics for Perfection Fresh Australia, including the famous broccolini. Natalie comes from all things blueberries. Her father is considered the godfather of the industry and has been in blueberry farming for more than 35 years. They purchased their farm as an old run-down blueberry orchard spread across 90 acres in the town of Lindendale near Lismore in 2014. Since then, they have been extra busy converting Tallogum Berries

Keeping Japanese travel local during trying times By Megan Albany MOST TRAVEL companies have been hit hard by coronavirus restrictions, but one Kingscliff-based company has found a way to keep its customers travelling – despite being a Japanese travel specialist. Since the global pandemic first reared its head in March this year, Japan Holidays has adapted and changed, and then adapted again to satisfy the needs of its customers for all things Japanese. Japan Holidays managing director Anthony Luxton said the company has had to come up with creative solutions including online courses and Australianbased garden tours to substitute for Japanese tours, such as those to visit the annual cherry blossom displays. “It’s been very tough, obviously, since the international borders closed, however, having said that, we’ve remained in business by doing virtual tours with our suppliers in Japan,” Mr Luxton said. “We’ve done cooking classes, we’ve done a tea ceremony, and on the 24th of this month we’re doing a Buddhist monk and temple experience. “We’ve also been gearing up for 2021 when hopefully the market returns and fine tuning our tours and looking at programs we can develop for when it does open. “Recently we decided to look at doing some domestic tourism so we had planned a tour up to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers for people who couldn’t travel to Japan to see the cherry blossoms.” Unfortunately, when the border bubble restrictions were put in place, it was back to the drawing board again for the company, who has now organised an even closer to home, six-day garden

tour of New England which commenced on Friday, September 18. “We tried to develop things with a Japanese theme, so this tour starts with a tour of the Japanese Gardens in the North Coast Regional Botanic Gardens, Coffs Harbour,” he said. The tour, which will be led by ABC Radio Garden Presenter Kate Heffernan, will explore a Japanese garden, iconic New England rural landscapes, historical grazing properties, a garden situated in a natural forest and a sensory garden. “Even though it is a tour that visits gardens, it is not not strictly limited to people who like gardens,” Ms Heffernan said. “The New England landscapes are quintessentially Australian and we visit the coast, go through the New England ranges and stop at the Washpool National Park and a beautiful rainforest, before visiting Glen Innes where there is a blend of history, heritage gardens and wild landscapes. “I’ve led tours in places like France, Italy and the United Kingdom, but these gardens in New England are equally stunning.” Despite the success of their innovative domestic and online programs, Mr Luxton, who spent ten years living in

Japan working for the then Australian Tourist Commission (now Tourism Australia) said he is looking forward to being able to take tourists back to the land of the rising sun. “It’s a fascinating tourism destination in all seasons, it has so much to offer and I think Australians love it for the food, the hospitality, and the kindness of the people, and the fact it’s a terribly safe destination to travel to.” With the 2020 Olympics having been postponed due to the pandemic, Mr Luxton said he is hoping the Japanese borders will reopen in time for the event which has been rescheduled until next year. “The Japanese government has said they are committed to the Olympics for June/July 2021, so that’s a huge event and the eyes of the world are watching to see how they are going to do it. “If they are operating the Olympics then, I would hope they would be open for travel.” For more information on the New England garden tours or online Japanese experience tours, including the upcoming Buddhist monk and temple experience, visit www.japanholidays.com.au or www. facebook.com/kateheffernan

her dream of having her own gallery came to fruition. “We came here to watch whales one day and I walked past this empty shop and I just knew it was perfect; it’s got the gallery walls and the wide frontage but it’s not huge,” she said. Helen has her own landscapes and seascapes on show in the current Love Where We Live exhibition. “I have Cabarita artist Dylan Cooper, Nerrida Woolley from Alstonville and Judy Oakenfull from Murwillumbah exhibiting,” she said. “We also have Rick Molloy and Phillip Hay sculpture. “Phillip is from Murwillumbah and has a studio at M|Arts and the sculptures he makes are out of air-dried clay, and the forms are very unique, and you can almost feel the emotion in them. “I also have jewellery by Ghost and Lola and that has been very popular too.” Helen is also working on a program for kids to create their own work based on the artwork in the gallery. “I’m applying for the Creative Kids vouchers for that and hopefully the children can exhibit their work here, even if it’s just on a table,” she said. “Kids classes will be on Tuesday after school starting in Term 4. “I just want to create a hub for art and I’d really love everyone to come along and get involved and support our local artists.” Local artist Dylan Cooper is holding an artist’s talk about his work and inspiration on Thursday, September 24, at 11am with more artist talks planned to run on Thursdays and Fridays at 11am. Contact Helen through the Mist Gallery website to book a spot. Mist Gallery is currently open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, at Shop 3/2-6 Pandanus Parade, Cabarita Beach.

By Jo Kennett THERE WAS no champagne popping for the official opening, due to coronavirus restrictions, but the owner of a new Cabarita art gallery is keen to showcase local artists impacted by the pandemic. Mist Gallery is located just two doors up from the Cabarita Beach Hotel and artist/owner Helen Otway said she wants to do a service for local artists and for the community as well. “I think the arts have been really battered during COVID,” Helen said. “Artists had time to make and create during lockdown, but there was no way to show their work, so their ability to make a living out of it has been greatly reduced. “I didn’t think there was enough opportunity for local artists, so I really wanted to tap into artists that live around here who haven’t had the opportunity to share their work.” Helen previously had a career in education in Melbourne which included working as an art teacher and teaching claymation and digital media to students. “I became a principal and an advisor to principals, but I was always painting,’ she said. “Then I wanted to practise art myself rather than just teaching, so I started doing classes and loved going back to painting and drawing.” Helen moved with her husband to Casuarina from Melbourne a year ago. “I’ve been coming here for 20 years because my husband Matthew grew up in Pottsville and his family (the Marshalls) are in Caba,” she said. “We always had plans to retire here.” Helen opened a studio in M|Arts and became a volunteer at the Tweed Regional Gallery which she “absolutely loves” before

LES MISERABLES

It is not easy to write about a film like Les Miserables without falling into easy rhetoric: after all the movie, like the novel and its several previous adaptations for the big and the small screen, is about the sacrosanct fight for justice, equality and freedom. But this latest version by French filmmaker Ladj Ly brings the issues raised by Victor Hugo’s novel to a different, personal and contemporary level. Ladj Ly is an activist filmmaker, who has for years been observing and filming the violence happening in Paris’s suburbs inhabited mostly by French citizens of sub-Saharan African and Arab heritage - he had already made a short film about this topic in 2017. Les Miserables has won many international awards and a nomination for Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards. The parallels with the novel are not only in the subject matter but include the location where the movie is set – the eastern suburb of Montfermeil which is where Ladj Ly lives and where Hugo wrote the novel and used as background to the meeting of Jean Valjean and Cosette. The film makes its point from the very outset, using footage of the jubilant massive celebrations following the French soccer team’s winning of the

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

2018 World Cup – a moment that united the whole country – and superimposing on it the title of the film. Apart from that initial moment of equality in joy, the abuses perpetrated against poor citizens especially teenagers - living in the dilapidated public houses in the suburbs highlights the continuity in the lack of equality and in the fate of the poor. Caught in the middle of these historical tensions is an idealistic police officer who joins a team of seasoned and cynical colleagues – one is white, macho and arrogant, the other is of African descent, born in the neighborhood, who can easily relate to the community there but has exhausted his ability to empathize. The three are agents and witnesses at the same time of very disturbing situations, and the movie ends with a pessimistic view of the impasse in which society is stalling; everyone understands that something needs to be done to change things, but nobody knows really what to do. Despite this, the energy that the movie projects – French Ladj Ly could be compared to American Spike Lee for his uncompromising portrayal of racial and class tensions within supposedly democratic societies – makes it a compelling and thought provoking viewing, highly recommended - but not for the faint hearted.

Thought-provoking new mural at M|Arts By Jonathon Howard M|ARTS CONTINUES to offer a platform for talented local artists to express and create, with the latest mural in Proudfoots Lane by artist Cam Scale titled Don’t Shoot the Messenger sure to make viewers stop and think. Cam started painting in the early 2000s and is now a widely recognised fine artist and mural painter. He initially started out in Sydney, before moving to Melbourne, where he immersed himself in the street art and graffiti scene for more than 10 years. Cam is now based in the Tweed Shire and has been working on large murals, studio and digital work, using primarily aerosol, oil and acrylic. His latest work explores the complexities of an individual or subject and captures what surrounds him in a raw and emotive way. Cam said he wanted to highlight the plight of the whistleblower depicted by a whistle interconnected with a noose. “The inspiration for this work stems from a deep despair and concern about the continuing treatment of whistleblowers and the effect this has across almost all aspects of our society,” he said. “The idea that an individual speaking out about uncovered corruption or criminal behaviour first has to consider their own destruction or incarceration sends a very clear message to stay silent. Don’t Shoot the Messenger highlights the way that whistleblowers are treated across the world, including in Australia” he said. “It is an ode to those who have been brave enough to speak out against violations of the law and how they are currently being treated. We, as a society, are uninterested

in exposing and eradicating injustice, but prefer to be unaware. Letting it quietly continue, so as not to upset the status quo. In effect, shoot the messenger, rather than tackle the rot.” The M|Arts team are now hoping to activate Proudfoots Lane into an art attraction for the Murwillumbah CBD. They hope this large-scale artwork acts as a catalyst for Proudfoots Lane to be activated into an inspiring and artistic attraction within the Murwillumbah CBD. “This is about contemporary street art and trying to activate this great part of our town, Proudfoots Lane, through the heart of Murwillumbah.” A M|Arts spokesperson said street art is, by its nature, often controversial and edgy. “In this case, we applaud the artist in making a statement about something topical and of concern around the world right now,” they said. “Like all street art, Don’t Shoot the Messenger is by its very nature temporary and will likely be replaced in time. “Its fragility and exposure to the elements forces people to consider and appreciate it in the moment, knowing that it may not be there the next time they look.” The mural has already sparked widespread debate amongst residents online with comments coming thick and fast including both negative and positive. M|Arts Precinct is now home to many local artists, an acclaimed gallery, restaurant and coffee shop, vintage items, book shops, picture framers, art suppliers, an iconic cinema and more.

at the Footy

T h e t r i bu t e t o M i t c h Aubusson on the weekend by the Roosters was first class. I have mentioned previously how big a fan I am of Aubo and his tireless work ethic. He has always been a player who could find space and run the right line and five minutes in he did just that and crossed the line for a meat pie. The Storm are resting pretty much the entire starting line up this weekend and rightly so given they can’t change position and it is a chance for the players to freshen up and the fringe players to have a crack. Fourth spot is still up for grabs but given the Raiders this week they seem to be content with 5th spot. They

are the only team who can threaten from outside the top four. The finals have rolled around in the NRRRL. Well done to all involved to get the season up and running given the circumstances. Tweed Coast Raiders will host the big semi this weekend on Sunday, with the winner between them and Murbah getting to host the big dance. There will be a good crowd in Bilambil Saturday to watch the elimination final also. All the best to the South Tweed club who host the junior finals on Saturday. It should be a great afternoon of footy with the main game between the Bears and Colts. See you at the footy.

THE BULLDOGS upset w i n ove r t h e Rabb i t s dropped the Broncos to last and a win against the Cowboys is the glamour clubs only hope of avoiding the spoon. Quite simply they deserve it. Given the rosters the Bulldogs have played with some desire and effort that the Broncos have lacked. The Broncos and Cowboys played probably the greatest grand final I’ve ever seen in 2015 and now they will both finish bottom three.

Fifita’s injury last week was unlucky. Does he play Origin this year? I’d be thinking his new employers will be pushing for a “no” and I reckon Manly might be doing the same with Turbo Tom. He needs to get his body right to play a role for the Eagles in 2021, if they are any hope whatsoever. The Titans are finishing season 2020 really strong and it would be great to see them get a result this week to finish 9th on a five in a row run. AJ Brimson is a future superstar and it is great to see him playing so well.

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

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey KINGSCLIFF OPEN Pairs final saw Vic Lewis and Peter Murphy challenging Luke Wade and Greg Sawtell in a keenly contested game. Whilst team Wade trailed minimally throughout the duel, the score card certainly did not indicate the high-quality bowls being delivered in this top-class match. In a classic final end spar, Lewis and Murphy maintained their lead to take the game by two shots. Great game guys.

Reserve Grade Pairs Championship at Kingy has also been completed, and for added interest, with the Sawtell clan well represented. Greg’s son Josh joined his uncle, Ray, in their challenge for top honours against Stuart Wallace and Harry Lawrence. Team Lawrence opened the card and were travelling well to record a 12-4 lead after ten ends. However, a twist of fate saw the team suffer seven scoreless ends straight thus allowing team Sawtell to take over

Tapped in to the waves

with a four-shot lead on the 17th end. Fighting back strongly, team Lawrence then claimed a tightly bunched count of six on the next end to regain the lead once more. Swapping shots during the remaining ends, of this close final, resulted in Lawrence and Watson holding on to claim victory. Pottsville Men’s 2020 Open Singles Final was basically a mirror of last year’s championship final as Pearl Earl and Ken Morris again went head-to-head for supremacy. Earl opened the card in what began as a close scoring duel until the 14th end. Morris lifted his

SHARKNADO AT THE MOMENT THE NORTHERN NSW chapter of the Woolworths Surfer Grom Comps is on this weekend at Coffs Harbour with the event only open to people from the Queensland Border to Seal Rocks. In 2020, the national series consists of ten events which will hit the shores of every state and will once again deliver a fun and friendly introduction to surf competition. The Woolies Groms Comps cater for the mini, mirco groms (U/8) to the big kids alike (U/14) of any level, and is all about providing a fun, but competitive environment.

As an added bonus, the respective winners of the Under 14 boys’ and girls’ divisions from each event will receive an invite to attend an allexpenses-paid, three-day Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps National Final Surf Camp, (one-day coaching clinic, two days of competition and heat analysis coaching) at the Surfing Australia High-Performance Centre (HPC) on the Tweed Coast.

Keep your eyes open and look after your mates

It has been a “Sharknado” recently on the Tweed Coast and Gold Coast, but I’m hoping with the last of the whale population heading south, this

game and held a nine-shot lead by the 22nd end. Earl, re-energised and keeping Morris restricted over the next seven ends, levelled the score to 26-26 on the 29th. Game on as the lads battled, levelling again at 3030. A high-pressure final end resulted in Morris drawing a back toucher and another close bowl to put pressure on his opposition. Earl retaliated with a full-on drive, hit his intended target, but was snookered by Morris’ bowl jammed against the toucher, thus leaving Morris a very relieved winner. Great performance, guys.

should mean at least a little break from what seems to be a constant stream of sightings and confrontations for the last few weeks. Local surfer Christian Bungate has made news for all the wrong reasons after being knocked off his foil and getting a shark tooth souvenir in his board (see page 16 for the full report this week). He was very lucky, and at present has some great support from family and friends after what can only be described as a traumatic encounter. It seems that Gold and Tweed Coast have become the latest shark hot-spots, and last weekend on the Sunshine Coast, for the Sunny Coast Open. A lot of the Gold-Coast based surfers expressed relief at being able to surf without the fear of attack in their mind. It is time to look for your fellow surfers, maybe the late arvo sessions are a bit suspect at present, but I always believe that if you feel like things are not quite right, the best option will be to just go in. I personally believe that pretty soon the sightings should ease off as the whale population returns south. Anyone know where we can get an Orca?

Stay safe and healthy and remember to be kind to each other.

As part of the morning there will be a display of UAV (drones) conducting a shark and water safety surveillance and a paddle in by the rostered patrol for the morning ‘flying fish’. Lifeguard patrols will operate on weekdays during the school holiday period. An intensive training course for the Bronze Medallion and Surf Rescue Certificate will be held during the coming NSW school holiday period. A new initiative welcomed by SLS NSW has come with an announcement of $8 million from the NSW State Government to expand drone surveillance over the next 12 months. A reminder that drownings at Australian surf beaches are more likely to occur around low tide, new research has revealed. The AGM for the Club Limited will be held also on Saturday morning, commencing at 10am to receive the financial report and the election of members of the board of directors. Membership of combined categories rose to over 3,000 persons.

Raiders take minor premiership after Mustangs loss

By Jo Kennett THE TWEED Coast Raiders have lifted the minor premiers crown after the Mustangs shock loss to Bilambil in the final round of the NRRRL Green Division on Sunday, September 20. The Mustangs went down 18-10 at Murwillumbah in what coach Nathan Jordan called “one of our worst performances of the season”. “It was just one of those games where we dropped a lot of ball and missed a lot of tackles but to the Jets credit they played well,” he said. “Ryan Foran and Riley Lack made their first grade debut; we’ve had about six or seven make their debut like most teams with the high turnover this year. “We had three or four blokes out but all teams have players out at this stage of the season and two will be back this weekend but we won’t have Joe Besgrove. “We are looking forward to getting a chance to play in the grand final this Sunday; this year has been tough one on everyone but we are almost there.” The Mustang Mares got the win 22-8 over the Jets girls who they will play again this Saturday. The Mustangs Under 18s just edged out the Jets 11-10 with a field goal after the siren, making them minor premiers.

The Mustangs also won reserve grade 28-14. The Raiders first grade side beat the Cudgen Hornets 18-14 in a tough matchup. Cudgen, minus skipper Caleb Ziebell, had good possession in the first quarter but it did not take long for Raiders skipper Drew Lanston to bust through the Hornets line, giving the Tweed Coast team the lead 6-0 with the conversion. The Hornets gave away a penalty which the Raiders converted to take them to 8-0. The Hornets scored two tries and then the game see-sawed. It was 18-14 to the Raiders at half time with no points scored in the second half and the Raiders taking the win. Cudgen coach Mark O’Grady said his boys “got a few opportunities and didn’t really finish them off ”. “After they scored we went set to set and then we scored back to back tries,” he said. “After our second try we dropped the ball and they scored off that set. “The second half we had a lot of possession but we couldn’t get over. We made a couple of good sets but the passing let us down.” Jack Cullen made an impressive debut for the Hornets.

Big Kale Rowston makes a break against Cudgen

Raiders captain Drew Lanston said he thought his team started well. “We came out how we wanted to defensively and offensively and we were finding it pretty easy to make metres and getting into our shape,” Lanston said. “We took our foot off the gas and Cudgen can score tries and they came back and put a fair few points on us. “They have some good young kids; they all have pretty bright futures that’s for sure.”

Lanston said the Raiders had no injuries going into this weekend’s semi-final clash against Murwillumbah at Cabarita on Sunday. “It’s the best we’ve looked and I’m very confident in our team and our shape defensively and offensively,” he said. “We have been working really hard all year. “Hopefully it will be packed to the rafters; the Hillbillies will be out in force and if we win we host the grand final.”

Raiders also took out the minor premiership in reserve grade, beating the Hornets 16-14 in another brilliant game from both sides. The Hornets got the win in a tight 24-20 clash in the Under 18s. The Hornets girls had a 20-4 win over rivals the Raiderettes, who have no bench this season and had injured players that stayed on the field. It was a great effort from both teams which saw the Hornets take the minor premiership in only their second year playing.

Beware of rental scams online Relief for builders By Jonathon Howard

RESIDENTS LOOKING to enter the Tweed Shire rental market are being warned of a fresh round of rental and accommodation scams online, with more than $300,000 lost already. It’s an increase of 76 per cent when compared to the same time last year, as renters attempt to secure properties by responding to fake advertisements posted on real estate or classified websites. The scams target people seeking new rental accommodation by offering fake rental properties to convince people into handing over money or personal information. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) Scamwatch service has already received 560 reports of rental scams so far this year, an increase of 56 per cent, with many using tactics related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Scammers are offering reduced rents due to COVID-19 and using the government restrictions to trick people into transferring money without inspecting the property,” ACCC Deputy Commissioner Delia Rickard said. “The scammer will post advertisements on real estate or

classified websites, or target people who have posted on social media that they are looking for a room. “After the victim responds, the scammer will request an upfront deposit to secure the property or phish for personal information through a ‘tenant application form’, promising to provide the keys after the payment or information is provided.” The ACCC says the scammer may come up with excuses for further payments and the victim often only realises they have been scammed when the keys don’t arrive and the scammer cuts off contact, with some scammers even impersonating real estate agents and organising fake inspections Victims will then arrive to discover the property doesn’t exist or is currently occupied. “The loss of personal information through rental scams is becoming more common, with scammers requesting copies of identity documents such as passports, bank statements or payslips,” Mr Rickard said. “Once a scammer has your personal information you are at risk of being targeted by further scams or identity theft.

“Many people are also experiencing financial difficulties due to the pandemic and the financial impact of falling victim to a scam can be devastating.” Scamwatch says that people aged 25 to 34 reported the most rental scams so far in 2020, and the most reports came from NSW, Victoria and the ACT. A common rental scam operating in Canberra involves a scammer impersonating a doctor living in Sweden who only offers virtual inspections and then requests bond money. The ACCC is advising renters to view a property in person before paying any money. “Try to view a property in person before paying any bond or rent money to landlords or real estate agents,” Mr Rickard said. “In areas of Victoria under COVID-19 level 4 restrictions this is not possible, but you can help protect yourself by doing an online search to confirm the property exists and, if dealing with an agent, checking that the agent you are dealing with is licenced.” “Scammers often rely on email communications to avoid identification, do an independent search for a phone number and speak to the property manager.”

HOUSING INDUSTRY Australia (HIA) has joined with hundreds of Northern Rivers builders and tradies working either side of the NSW and Queensland border to breathe a sigh of relief, as border restrictions are set to ease as of Thursday, October 1. The relief comes as the Queensland Premier recently announced she will start relaxing border restrictions in an effort to assist workers unduly impacted by the border bubble, to get back to work and deliver the new homes and renovations critical to both states’ economies. “When border closures started at 1am on 8 August there was little notice provided to builders and tradespeople,” HIA executive director Toni Bull said. “The housing industry was given no time to prepare properly for what was a major logistical blow to normal business movements. “There was a clear underestimation of how mobile the home building industry is and how many businesses would be impacted. “The Queensland Government’s announcement, that they will open the borders to the areas of NSW bordering on Queensland is welcomed by HIA, as the burden the closures were having on our members and their customers was becoming unbearable.” Ms Bull said the “complicated and inconsistent rules” that previously governed who could work over the NSWQld border was “untenable and needed to be sorted or done away with”. “There was also difficulty in moving building materials and supplies, on top of the movement of labour, forcing some projects to come to a halt, meaning staff were facing the threat of being laid off, thankfully mass layoffs may be averted due to this announcement,” she said. “With the Gold Coast region in particular feeling the pain of losing jobs in tourism, ensuring home building can continue in a sensible and managed way will help to ensure critical jobs and economic activity for the region.”
