RAIDERS TAKE TWO NRRRL TITLES

THE TWEED Coast Raiderettes have taken the premiership of the LLT by two points in extra time and the Raiders reserve grade side came up trumps against Casino. Unfortunately the Mustangs couldn’t get across the line against Ballina and the Cudgen Under 18s were also unlucky to go down to Ballina. Photo by Josie Thacker.

Call – 0427 743 817 A surfer is in a critical condition after he was found unconscious at Dreamtime Beach

Duty Officers from the Far North Coast Branch and lifeguards from the Australian Lifeguard Service attended and assisted with the resuscitation attempts.

The surfer is believed to be in his mid20s and was surfing alone.

State Duty Officer Jimmy Keough praised the efforts of the rescuers and the lifesavers and lifeguards who responded.

“The members of the public who spotted the surfer in trouble and managed to bring him to shore did a fantastic job,” Jimmy said.

“They performed CPR until emergency services got there, which is vital for there to be any chance of a patient surviving in these situations.”

Police, Ambulance and Surf Life Saving used oxygen and a defibrillator in their attempts to revive the man.

He was transported to hospital where he is in a critical condition.

A spate of drownings at Fingal in recent years prompted the recent installation of the angel rings and an Emergency Response Beacon.

Looking for great service?

By Jo Kennett A SURFER who was discovered unconscious in the water at Dreamtime B e a c h o n M o n d ay m o r n i n g , September 9, has been taken to The Tweed Hospital in a critical condition.

The surfer was brought ashore by members of the public who conducted CPR until paramedics and lifesavers arrived.

Australian Lifeguard Service Tweed Supervisor, Brent Lethbridge, said the man was found floating face down and still attached by his leg rope to his surfboard at the northern end of Dreamtime Beach around 8.43am.

One person grabbed a nearby angel ring stationed on the beach and swam out to bring the man ashore while another called Triple Zero for help.

“The victim was up on the sand when I arrived and members of the public had commenced CPR,” Mr Lethbridge said.

“Police and ambulance were in attendance.

“The patient seemed to be unconscious, but they had managed to get some response but when they left the beach he was in a critical condition. He was transported to The Tweed Hospital.

“The two members of the public that assisted did an amazing job.

“The beach was quiet which was good so there were not a lot of other witnesses, it’s always a traumatic experience for family, friends and witnesses.”

Business Tax Advisers

Tumbulgum intersection could be fixed in 2020

By Jonathon Howard D R I V E R F E A R S a ro u n d t h e Riverside Drive and Tweed Valley Way intersection at Tumbulgum, following the death of a motorcycle rider last week, could be addressed in 2020, according to Tweed Shire Council.

A series of accidents and the death of the motorcycle rider has prompted

widespread concern about the safety of the intersection, with many residents calling for a roundabout to be installed or traffic lights.

Others have called for the speed limit to be reduced from 100km per hour to 80km per hour.

Council’s Traffic Engineer, Ray Clark, said Council has submitted an

The scene of a fatal motorbike crash last week

application under the 2020/21 Safer Roads Program and nominations will be considered under both the Australian Black Spot Program and the NSW Safer Roads Programs.

“Based on Council’s previous experience, it is expected that advice on the status of the application will be received in early 2020,” he said.

“The application includes the widening and separation of the northbound slip lane on Tweed Valley Way into Riverside Drive, similar to the treatment installed at the southern access at Riverside Drive in recent years.

“The total estimated cost of the treatments is $660,000.”

Mr Clark said additional treatments include the installation of a guardrail north of the intersection on Tweed Valley Way, closure of the access into the farmers’ markets from Tweed Valley Way, and vehicle activated signage is also proposed on approaches to the intersection to further increase drivers’ awareness of the intersection.

Speed on Tweed update

The report in last week’s edition of the Tweed Valley Weekly (September 5) regarding the Annual General Meeting needs to be corrected to instead read “Special General Meeting” only.

This meeting is open to the community to attend. The meeting will allow for people to nominate as an associate member with two supporting votes.

I’d like to encourage residents to come along.

The time of the meeting is 7pm at the Caldera Wildscapes Gallery.

An Annual General Meeting will be specified at a later date.

Speed on Tweed news disappointing to us all

Sad to hear that Speed on Tweed may be cancelled.

As we had three families coming up from Adelaide for our wedding the following week, we were going to hire a houseboat for them to stay on and that’s just a few friends that are coming up from Adelaide.

Others are coming from other parts of the state and Qld for the wedding and also Speed on Tweed.

The car enthusiasts and tourists will increase business in Murwullimbah and the Tweed in general. It’s sad.

Paul Snaith, Bilambil

I believe housing should be Council priority, says Cr Cooper

I am disappointed that fellow Councillor Warren Polglase seems to care little about the Tweed’s crisis of rental and mortgage stress.

People who know that the next rent rise will result in their eviction can suffer anxiety, shame and depression. Self-medication often follows – alcohol and prescription or illicit drugs. Marriage break-ups and family violence can follow as lives spiral out of control.

Neglected children become rebellious at school.

Added to the personal cost to individuals and their family, there

are flow-on costs to the broader community – health and mental services are stretched, police services are diverted and the education of all students is disrupted.

Communities throughout NSW are bearing these same costs yet state and federal governments still persist with their failing affordable housing policies.

More and more people are struggling to survive – staying with relatives, couch surfing with friends, sleeping in their cars, camping rough on the street and in the parks, and living in fear of random bashings, and for women and girls sexual assault. Jobs are lost and welfare dependence increases.

And Cr Polglase puts potholes and rubbish ahead of this tragedy.

I have consistently advised the community that the project will proceed only if the Business Plan shows no ongoing costs to ratepayers.

Potholes and rubbish won’t suffer neglect.

Cr Ron Cooper, Kingscliff

Clock letter gave me a laugh

Reading the letter to editor last week regarding the Murwillumbah town clock, I found the information quite amusing.

I don’t know if the clock is working or have never really taken notice, but find the comment that it has shown incorrect time for several months a slight twist of the truth.

Even if it is not working, it must be showing the correct time at least twice in any 24 hour period.

Jan Jensen, Murwillumbah

Positive response to letter

Thanks for publishing my letter about the fire, I have had positive feedback from it.

There are still stumps burning and we hope that today with the total fire ban that the unburnt area doesn’t spark up (see page 16).

Thanks also for the Letter of the Week selection.

Our forests are burning

Not only the precious Amazon forests are burning, so are ours.

In this extreme situation, instead of urgently preserving what we have left, bizarrely, our state government is removing it by watering down the definition of old growth forests and clear-felling. Our forests bring rain, are carbon sinks and are home for hundreds of endangered species. If you care about this please let your government know.

Nola Firth, Murwillumbah

Consequences of forest clearing

An acquaintance, whose family has farmed cattle for generations in the Casino area, told us of his

concern with the actions of Cape Byron Power Company allegedly clear-felling vast forests on private land adjacent his properties with trucks constantly hauling away logs to be burnt for electricity generation.

He had noticed a correlation with the removal of the native forests and the drying up of his own property.

Drying winds now sweep across sunburnt country that had until recently contained some of the last surviving forests on level lands and the whole area has now gone into extreme drought and the cattle must be sold and farming cease.

We were unfamiliar with the power company or the burning of forests for electricity until the conversation.

This local issue is an example of what is happening worldwide. Clearfelling and burning of the last of the world’s forests have already added 40 per cent of the carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere responsible for climate change. This has caused a 10 per cent increase in evaporation and a massive decrease in rainfall, much of which is stored by the forests and exhaled back into the atmosphere. Because of this, NASA scientists have predicted world-wide freshwater shortages within 7 years and runaway global climate change heating the planet to temperatures not seen in millions of years. We could have controlled our pollution of our atmosphere if we had protected the forested planetary life support systems that make our survival possible.

Every animal and plant are composed of vast populations of symbiotic microscopic organisms interacting with each other and creating the planet’s organs, the living atmosphere, the living landscape and the living oceans.

To g e t h e r t h e y h av e b e e n responsible for creating the living surface of our planet. The planet’s organs have been devastated by humanity’s aggressive behaviour.

I believe that the Tweed Council motion of forcing contractors to disclose their contractual agreements with the Adani mine is a good idea because everyone and everything is intimately connected.

Gary Opit and Carmel Daoud, Wooyung

Keep our railway tracks

Cr Allsop, I was not against a m a s t e r p l a n fo r S o u t h Murwillumbah – I love Murwillumbah and I tell a lot of people this.

I used as an example of flood cause Crabbes Creek totally blocked with lantana, weeds and huge reeds which needs to be looked at to fight against flooding in that area of the Tweed Shire.

Regarding your promotion of the rail trail, you admitted the Murwillumbah railway with trains was an economic driver for Murwillumbah. My information was that legislation states the rail corridor is for trains, so how can Council rip the rail tracks up for the rail trail?

We need both – trains with a bike track alongside. This way all community’s needs are met. I would not be keen to ride a bike track through that bush to Crabbes Creek as nasties like brown snakes are so prevalent now, plus redback and funnel-web spiders.

Jillian Spring, Billinudgel

Just a cop out

Some papers persist in publishing letters wherein the writers assert that as Australia contributes so little in total volume to global pollution there is no point in our doing anything to cut down on our dirty habits.

Both the writers and the papers, who publish their letters, choose to overlook the fact that, in terms of per capita pollution, only the United States exceeds Australia.

Or is this another example of how we pride ourselves on punching above our weight. Shame on all of us.

Peter Leith, Bogangar

Dodgy political donations

The recent events at ICAC concerning the “gift” of $100,000 to the NSW Labor Party by a billionaire property developer after a night out at a Chinese Restaurant seems to confirm the saying “we have the best politicians money can buy”, especially after a previous ICAC investigation found six Liberal pollies guilty of accepting illegal “donations” All of this on the back of the Eddie Obied scandal and his subsequent jailing.

Harking back to Bjelke-Petersen, it was said that Joh would go to his office and “find” a paper bag on his desk full of cash from an “unknown” admirer.

This is all that comes to mind at the moment, but of course over the years there have been other scandals.

The point I’m making is these are the people we put trust in, they are our leaders in their own right that we depend on to look after the interest of society, to work for the good of the people. If there is one thing Nick Greiner did for the people of NSW ICAC was it. Now is the time to install an ICAC with teeth in the federal political arena.

on Monday, October 7, the Labour Day public holiday.

Blake is six years old and has been diagnosed with idiopathic severe aplastic anaemia.

It is an extremely rare condition where his autoimmune system destroys his bone marrow.

His body is unable to produce blood, so Blake has been receiving blood transfusions every few days at Queensland Children’s Hospital.

He is going to need a bone marrow transplant very soon and thankfully one of his four brothers, Kane, is a match.

There are few more tests to do, but Blake will then have chemotherapy and other treatments to destroy his immune system which is destroying his bone marrow.

The family will require accommodation in Brisbane and will be travelling between Mullumbimby and Brisbane (two hours each way) every other day.

A group of us have banded together and we are in the process of organising a charity day to raise funds to assist Blake and his family with the cost of treatments, travel, accommodation, loss of income and day-to-day family expenses so they can focus on his treatment and recovery.

We have been granted approval from the Ocean Shores Country Club to run a golf event and a bowls event on Monday, October 7, and we ask if you could provide some form of sponsorship, in the form of money or prizes, to assist with raising funds for Blake.

The golf event will be a two-person Ambrose format, with a morning field and a 12.30pm shotgun start in the afternoon.

The bowls event is three-bowl triples starting at 1pm.

We also have entertainers who have graciously donated their time to play music on the back deck of the club during the afternoon and comedian, Ellen Briggs, will MC the presentation.

It will be a huge day and is a great opportunity for the community to be involved in such a worthy cause to help a very unlucky kid and his family.

We would love to have others on board, and I would like to get an indication from the community as to whether you can assist in some way.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Signs of cooperation on Fingal erosion

Warren Polglase OAM with NSW Governor General Margaret Beazley AO QC and family (inset)

Cr Polglase honoured to receive OAM

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillor Warren Polglase OAM said he felt honoured to be among an amazing group of people to receive his official Order of Australia Medal (OAM) at Government House in Sydney on Friday, September 6.

Cr Polglase was recognised by his peers for more than 25 years of commitment to the Tweed Shire as both a local businessman and through his council work.

Mr Polglase said it was a humbling experience being alongside three men who received bravery awards for rescuing several people from a burning car at a service station in 2017.

“It was amazing to hear their heroic story and I felt honoured to be there receiving this award alongside these people,” he said.

Cr Polglase said recognition was not something he goes looking for, but felt honoured and privileged to have been nominated for the recognition from his peers.

“I feel I’ve been rather fortunate to commit time to worthy causes having found a balance with my work life,” he said.

“I think that everyone that gets involved with the community will find it extremely rewarding and I truly believe a kind word or action towards someone can change a person’s life in the best way.

“You can reach down and pick someone up and help them try again.

“I’m very lucky to have a great family life including my wife of 55 years, Karlene, who has been an amazing support.”

Cr Polglase also thanked his family including son Scott and daughter Belinda (pictured above inset).

By Jo Kennett A MEETING about the Tweed Sand Bypassing project on Wednesday, August 21, has prompted further meetings between Fingal locals, project management, local politicians and government employees.

At the initial meeting residents raised a number of issues with the Advisory Committee and project management about the rate of erosion at Central Letitia in particular, saying they felt these concerns had been ignored.

“Fingal locals took up an offer from Brendan Logan, Senior Manager, Tweed Sand Bypassing Project, to meet, walk the beach and tour the pumping jetty on Thursday, August 29,” retired engineer Robert Budd said.

“This gave locals a great opportunity to point out areas of concern and to hear from Brendon on the dynamics of sand movement along Letitia Spit.

“The beach at Fingal, near the headland, has sustained more erosion and scarping creating a four-metre drop-off.

“On Monday, September 2, Tweed Shire Council locked the gate to the beach and placed “Caution beach erosion” signs at entry points to the beach.”

Mr Budd said Mr Logan had pointed out that “considerable amounts of sand” were moving down Letitia Spit towards the pumping jetty.

“Locals did point out at this same section of beach, the dune scarp had retreated ten metres in late July,” he said.

“Our recent experience is that the escarpment does not recover after an erosion event.

“The sand being eroded at present from Fingal Beach near the headland had been pumped onto the beach from the Tweed River following the 2013 erosion event.

“We have also been in communication with Troy Green and all the councillors.”

Fingal locals continue to take their concerns for the future of Fingal Beach to the government. They have meetings scheduled this month with both Tweed Shire Council and Member for Tweed Geoff Provest.

“It is important that our concerns and fears for our beach are taken seriously and appropriate actions put in place to resolve the issues,” Mr Budd said.

“I am hopeful that working together will result in positive outcomes for Fingal.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Domestic violence up in Tweed despite funding DUI or PCA - what you can do Penalties for drink and drug driving have been fortified considerably in 2019 in an effort to reduce the road toll, and that is an admirable objective.

Penalties have changed under the new laws. Drivers who are detected with a low range alcohol reading - between .05 and .08 - will now have their licence automatically suspended.

DUI stands for “driving under the influence” of alcohol. Under DUI laws, police have to prove that you were actually under the influence of alcohol when you were driving. This includes erratic driving, slurred speech and blurred vision.

PCA stands for “prescribed concentration of alcohol” and is easier for police to prove, as you only have to exceed the legal limit in a breathalyser test.

Since May 2019, the penalty for exceeding the low range limit (LRPCA) for full licence holders has been increased. Police at a roadside test can now immediately suspend your licence for three months and impose an on-the-spot fine of $572.

The same penalty applies to those found with prohibited drugs in their system.

Prior to the change, drivers charged with LRPCA drink driving on NSW roads had the option to attend court to have their penalty determined.

Peter Schmidt, solicitor with Stacks Law Firm, says drivers suspended by police may still elect to have the penalty determined in court.

The police power to suspend your licence immediately is a new penalty which can negatively impact people who depend on driving a vehicle for their work. It may be viewed as being inequitable, especially for a reading just over .05 and particularly by those who have a previously unblemished and lengthy driving record.

It is our view that drivers charged with such an offence should seek legal advice regarding whether it is worth challenging the suspension in court. There are many things to consider that would be unique to each driver’s circumstances, such as previous traffic offences and criminal antecedents.

While it is difficult to challenge the accuracy of the breathalyser machine, Mr Schmidt said it is possible to challenge the time between taking the roadside breath test and a breath analysis at the police station.

You can argue that a driver charged with LRPCA may honestly believe they were under the limit, owing to the quantity and type of alcohol consumed, and over what period the alcohol was consumed, as well as the time between the last drink and the interaction with police.

By Jo Kennett THE LATEST crime statistics show a disturbing growth in the number of domestic violence and related crimes in the Tweed Shire.

The statistics from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research show that while the overall trends for many crimes over the past five years remain steady, some crimes like Breach of an Apprehended Violence Order were up nearly 20 per cent between April 2017 to March 2019.

Intimidation, stalking and harassment were also up 12.2 per cent.

Breaches of bail conditions by previous offenders was up a whopping 59.5 per cent in the Tweed area over the past year with Tweed Police regularly publishing domestic violence related assault was up 16.6 per cent with little change over the past five years despite a much publicised

“zero tolerance” campaign.

In 2010 the federal, state and territory governments implemented a 12-year National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children.

The program has cost close to a billion dollars but seen little improvement, if any, in the rates of domestic violence.

President of Wollumbin Family Support, Ilze Jaunberzins, said the money that has been invested “isn’t that much and is going to acute systems and is not addressing prevention”.

“The recovery programs for the women to live independent lives has no funding,” she said.

“There is no money in prevention or recovery. Women are being placed into motels for two weeks and after that there’s nothing and they have to return to the perpetrators.

“Transparency and accountability

Male charged with police pursuit

A 39-YEAR-OLD man is facing a string of charges including a police pursuit and possessing a prohibited drug.

Tweed Police said it was about 12.40am on Saturday, September 7, when local officers were patrolling Kingscliff as part of Operation Titan when they observed a silver BMW sedan travelling east on Cudgen Road “well in excess of the posted speed limit”.

The vehicle had been involved in a pursuit in June 2019 and police said the driver was wanted for questioning.

“There was no attempt by the driver to stop and in fact the driver increased his speed,” police said.

“The vehicle continued to move onto the incorrect side of the road over unbroken lines before moving back on the correct side of the road.

“This continued the length of Mcphail Avenue until the intersection of Seaview Street where again the motor vehicle moved to the incorrect side of the road to take the left-hand turn at speed.

“Without notice the driver stopped about 300 metres from the intersection.”

Police said a search of the vehicle located a crystal substance, believed to be methyl-amphetamine and a magnetic box beneath the driver’s seat containing watches suspected of being stolen.

The man was charged with driving whilst disqualified, police pursuit, possessing a prohibited drug and goods in custody.

He was expected to front Tweed Heads Local Court on September 11.

Parolee goes on Sunnyside rampage A 19-YEAR-OLD female, who was only one day out of prison has gone on a rampage at Sunnyside Mall in Murwillumbah on Friday, September 6.

Police said the female had been banned from attending the shopping centre for 12 months and was asked to leave by a security officer.

She then threw a can of bourbon and coke at the security officer who had to move out the way to avoid being hit.

“The female has thrown another full can from her backpack at the security officer who was standing inside the doorway,” police said.

“He had to again take evasive action, moving to avoid being hit by the can.”

The female then walked out to the footpath and thrown two metal bin lids at the glass window to Domino’s Pizza.

She was arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with trespass, assault and malicious damage, and was scheduled to front Tweed Heads Local Court on September 9.

which we have been asking for hasn’t come and Geoff Provest and Thomas George, won’t even reply to courteous letters.

“Victoria leads the way in Australia in their approach whereas NSW is not interested and is only focused on homelessness, not prevention and recovery.

“There is not much going into men’s recovery programs either, so the programs just aren’t there.”

Other crime statistics show that while thefts from dwellings, businesses, people and motor vehicles were stable, other thefts were up 18.9 per cent.

Possession and/or use of cannabis was down 10.9 per cent while possession and use of other drugs was stable.

Offensive language offences were down 20.9 per cent and “other offences” were down 14 per cent.

Fail to stop accident at Kingscliff POLICE ARE searching for a darkcoloured SUV or utility that collided with a grey Mazda sedan at Kingscliff on Thursday, September 5.

The collision occurred around 9.30am at the roundabout of Seaview Street and Pearl Street.

According to police, the driver of the stationary vehicle indicated to the driver at fault to pull down a side street, however when the victim pulled over the driver of the offending vehicle fled.

The victim was unable to record any further details of the other vehicle.

Police are requesting anyone with any information or footage to please contact Tweed Heads Police on (07) 5506 9499.

Man arrested at gunpoint

Tweed Link A Tweed Shire Council publication

(02) 6670 2400 or 1300 292 872 | Issue 1120 | 10 September 2019 | ISSN 1327–8630

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

In brief ...

Tweed park scores funding A new kids’ outdoor gym and park in Tweed Heads is one of 248 projects which will receive funding from the My Community Project program.

The $106,408 grant will see Jack Chard Park, Tweed Heads revitalised to include a kids’ outdoor gym, landscaping, seating and pathways over the next 12 months. Council would like to thank the community for supporting the program by voting for local projects.

My Community Project has been made possible by the NSW Generations Fund.

Koala Community Fun Day Team Koala Inc. is holding a free Koala Community Fun Day on 22 September 2019 from 10am to 5pm at the Pottsville Beach Community Hall.

The event will include a visit from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary – Wildlife on Wheels, koala spotting tours, koala mask making, koala rescue and awareness talks, calendar competition, face painting and more.

The event, which is supported by Council, is a fun-filled way to educate the community about how to protect Tweed Coast koalas.

Short term holiday letting survey The launch of the Rous River Canoe Trail attracted a big crowd. Why not discover the trail yourself?

Rous River Canoe Trail launch a success More than 40 people came together for a guided tour of the Rous River Canoe Trail on Saturday 31 August.

Council’s Project Officer – Waterways Matthew Bloor said the weather and conditions were perfect for a nice day on the water.

“It was great to see such a large flotilla of kayaks exploring the beautiful Rous River estuary,” Mr Bloor said.

“Paddlers learned about the history of early European settlement at Tumbulgum, projects undertaken by Council and the local community to improve the health of the estuarine environment.”

The eight-kilometre return route takes in sheltered mangrove-lined

secluded bays with views to Wollumbin/Mt Warning, and starts and finishes at Tumbulgum.

You can find more detail, the canoe trail brochure and map at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/CanoeTrails The canoe trail was the last action to be completed as part of the Rous River Riparian restoration project.

The three-year project was funded by Council and the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust.

What do you think about short term holiday letting (STHL) in the Tweed?

A new survey on STHL is being conducted by researchers from Southern Cross University (SCU).

A team of researchers led by Dr Tania von der Heidt of the School of Business and Tourism is investigating residents’ views of STHL – including Airbnb – across 12 local government areas on the north coast, including the Tweed.

The SCU project is in partnership with Destination North Coast and has the support of Tweed Shire Council.

The research findings will be shared with Tweed Shire Council and the Tweed community.

The survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and responses are anonymous.

Complete the survey via http://bit.ly/STHLTweed. The survey closes on 29 September 2019.

Upgrade to Knox Park

The design concept for Knox Park at the corner of Wollumbin and Brisbane streets.

Work to upgrade a section of Knox Park in Murwillumbah begin this month.

The project will see older areas of the park upgraded and aims to encourage greater usage and address safety concerns.

The $850,000 project includes: • upgraded pathways to improve accessibility • new lighting to improve safety • new gardens and landscaping • naturally-shaded outdoor dining areas • a new bus stop • a new outdoor stage area with power • a new park entry at Brisbane and Wollumbin Street.

The project is scheduled to be completed in February next year.

It is funded by the Building Better Regions Fund and the Restart NSW Fund.

Council is offering two free dog training sessions open to residents of the Tweed on Sunday 22 September and 6 October.

The sessions will help dog owners better understand the impacts their dogs pose to wildlife on beaches, and will address individual behaviour problems in the interest of public safety on beaches.

Sessions will be held over two weeks in Kingscliff (venue details will be provided on booking) with a maximum of 15 dogs and people per session.

Please note, each dog must attend two sessions, so you must be available on both dates.

Bookings are essential by midday on Friday 13 September. To book online go to: • dogtrainingclassa.eventbrite.com.au (class A – 9.30am, 22 September and 6 October) • dogtrainingclassb.eventbrite.com.au (class B – 11am, 22 September and 6 October).

Series of free workshops planned to skill up farmers Farmers and land managers are invited to a day with weed and pasture specialists to explore prevention and management options for some of the Tweed’s most problematic weeds.

The Worst Weeds of the Tweed event is the first in a series of eight workshops and field days being delivered by Council and Tweed Landcare Inc. as part of the Small Farms Big Changes project, funded by the NSW Environmental Trust.

The first workshop will be held at Tyalgum Hall on Thursday 19 September 2019 from 9am and includes a visit to a nearby farm.

Bookings are essential and can be made at worstweedsworkshop.eventbrite.com.au For further information about the Small Farms Big Changes project or to get involved visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/SmallFarmsBigChanges

The workshop will feature demonstrations of weed control on farms using drones.

Living and Loving the Tweed

Can you imagine what it’s like to sleep outside in the cold, or in your car? It is a reality that more than 440 people in the Tweed experience every day.

As part of the Fred’s Place Community Sleepout, Council’s Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson joined 37 people from across the Tweed to raise funds and awareness for Fred’s Place in Tweed Heads.

The sleepout raised almost $14,000 so far, with Ms Stinson’s fundraising efforts contributing over $1,000. You can still donate at www.communitysleepout.org.au/fredsplace-tweedheads Ms Stinson took the opportunity to sleep in her car this year (as so many of our homeless in Tweed are doing every night) and empathised with those doing it tough.

“It was a pretty awful experience. I didn’t really get any sleep at all and it made me realise how challenging it must be for people sleeping rough.

“One of the most shocking statistics we heard on the night was that 1 in 20 Australian returned services veterans will end up homeless.

“Please spare a thought for those in our community who have fallen on hard times and are struggling just to survive – they need all the support and compassion we can give,” Ms Stinson said.

Tweed Shire Council is committed to this significant social issue impacting our local community and was one of the first local governments in NSW to adopt a Homelessness Policy in 2015. Read about Council’s policy at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Homelessness

It’s time to start saving water

Pottsville roadworks reminder Nominate for Australia Day

Due to the prolonged dry spell, Council will continue to release water from Clarrie Hall Dam to supplement flows in the Tweed River.

The quantity of water released keeps the river in a healthy state and allows Council to draw adequate raw water from the river at the Bray Park Weir for treatment and distribution to water customers.

It is expected the release will be around 40 ML a day.

“Here in the Tweed we are fortunate that Clarrie Hall Dam is 98 per cent full but we need to remember that without significant rain we could be introducing water restrictions before Christmas,” Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said.

“All around us we are seeing towns crippled by drought and in danger of actually running out of water, with Guyra and Stanthorpe topping the list. Just across the border, water authorities this week warned of falling dam levels and the fact they are facing water restrictions by early next year.

“Now is the time to save water where you can.”

Tweed residents are currently consuming 191 litres of water per person per day against a target of 160 litres a day.

“We know we can do better than that because in 2013 we achieved 179 litres a day under our Target 180 litre campaign.”

Council continues to offer a rebate up to $100 towards the cost of installing water efficient showerheads and tapware, which can reduce water consumption by as much as 60 per cent.

Businesses also can seek help from Council on reducing their water usage by getting a free water audit from Water Efficiency Engineer Elizabeth Seidl.

For more information on the rebate and to book a water audit, contact Council on (02) 6670 2400.

Council will be doing roadworks in South Pottsville seven days a week for the next month, starting on Monday 16 September.

Crews and contractors will be rostered seven days a week from 7am to 5pm across multiple worksites.

The major works will be on Overall Drive and while Council will try to maximise detour opportunities, motorists should plan for delays.

Council has packed this program of roadworks to get as much done as possible in the month and would like to thank the community in advance for your patience in scheduling these long-awaited works.

Don’t create a stink over bill If you think your sewer is blocked, call Council at any hour of the day before you call a plumber to avoid a stink over a plumber’s bill.

Council is putting residents on notice that it will not automatically honour a plumber’s bill for unblocking a Council sewer if the plumber has been engaged privately without Council’s authorisation.

“It is very time consuming to deal with requests to pay bills we have not authorised nor have any information about,” Senior Engineer Peter Haywood said.

“To avoid this potential conflict, please call us first if you think the sewer is blocked. We have in-house plumbers and technicians who can attend immediately to check the inspection shaft and confirm whether the blockage is upstream or downstream of the shaft.

“Anything upstream between a property inspection shaft and the toilet is the property owners. Anything downstream between the shaft and our wastewater treatment plant is ours.”

A quick rule of thumb guide is if the shaft: • contains wastewater or water – it’s probably Council’s problem and Council will fix it • is clear – it’s probably the owner’s problem and the owner will need to hire a plumber at their own expense • contains tree roots – it may be a shared problem and the cost to fix it also will be shared.

However, there is also a grey area where inspection shafts have been poorly installed or modified and the cost to fix these blockages depends on the cause of the blockage.

Council can be contacted on (02) 6670 2400 in office hours or 1800 818 326 after hours.

Heads up on roadworks There are roadworks in Kingscliff that will cause disruptions this week.

On Tuesday Quigan Street, between McPhail Avenue and Boomerang Street, will be closed to all traffic from 10am to 2pm for asphalt works to be undertaken. Also try to avoid roadworks on Fraser Drive, from Vintage Lakes Drive roundabout north towards Dry Dock Road. These works are going to take another few weeks and could cause long delays. RMS is still working on Boyds Bay Bridge, Tweed Heads, so look out for changed traffic conditions there, with one northbound lane being closed from time to time.

For more information, see www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/RoadWorks

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment Notification for registration of interest for Aboriginal stakeholders NGH Pty Ltd (NGH) has been engaged by Tweed Shire Council to undertake an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment (ACHA) to support an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) addressing the proposed sewer gravity main upgrade within Philp Parade road reserve, Tweed Heads South. Most of the pipeline is above ground, however, part of the sewer pipeline is below ground and subsequently requires ground disturbance to access. The subsurface excavation will comprise a 70m long and up to 1.8m excavation trench.

The purpose of the consultation with Aboriginal people is to assist the proponent in the preparation of the ACHA and to be involved in the consultation as part of a possible lodgement of an AHIP application.

In order to fulfil the requirements set out in the OEH Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010, NGH is seeking interested Aboriginal parties who hold cultural knowledge of the assessment area to register their interest in the consultation process for the project and to assist in the determination of cultural significance of any Aboriginal objects subject to the application.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Tweed Shire real estate tilts towards buyers with strong spring listings expected top real estate agents to get their views on the market, what properties buyers are most interested in, tips for selling and their market outlook for the remainder of 2019.

DJ Stringer Principal David Stringer said research data indicates that 44 properties were sold in Coolangatta over the last quarter, “which is well down from 73 from the previous quarter”.

“The reduction in the number of sales is likely from a limited amount of available stock being listed during our winter,” Mr Stringer said.

“Tweed Heads on the other hand has been more stable recording 82 sales for the quarter, down marginally from 88.”

Mr Stringer said a large percentage of buyer enquiry is price driven, sub $600,000 for regional homes and up to $2 million for all styles of dwellings close to the beach.

“When selling there are many important tips, I find it’s wise to start from the ground and work up, for example: ask the most experienced agent for advice, obtain a market appraisal that is justified, ask your agent what needs to be done to enhance and or add value, or you could be doing things that may not be warranted and tackle the minor maintenance such as doors not operating and painting etc.

“Concentrate on presentation and if you have a garden, this is the window to your property, so pressure clean driveways and paths, trim up foliage and fill your garden beds with mulch – this will give your garden a fresh and much-loved look and entice buyers to step inside your home.”

Mr Stringer said his outlook for the real estate market for the remainder of 2019 “will be thriving as traditionally from spring forward is the best time to sell”.

“As such, we should see more stock being listed, so buyers stand guard and be ready to jump as it is likely more buyers will be heading our way especially from our southern states,” he said.

“In addition, we should see an influx of investors looking for greater returns than what is being offered by banks and of course property being a safer haven for those trying to avoid the volatility of the share market primarily fueled by international trade wars.”

First National Murwillumbah Real Estate Agent Bruce Flynn said the real estate market around the Tweed Shire has fared “quite nicely during the past quarter”.

“The number of sales has been quite solid with a lot of prospective buyers looking at living in or investing in the Tweed Valley,” Mr Flynn said.

“People have been out and about looking and even despite a couple of very wet weeks during June, quite a lot of sales took place.”

Mr Flynn said buyers are most interested in the lower end of the housing market in Murwillumbah and surrounding villages, meaning under $500,000.

“Having said that, the market from $500,000 to $700,000 particularly in more recently built homes in Murwillumbah West is quite good indeed,” he said.

“Lifestyle or hobby farms are still in high demand and solid numbers of inspections have taken place on those in excess of $1-million with some sales occurring - of course there are still those up to $1 million in areas like Braeside near Uki and many other localities around the district.”

Mr Flynn said his tip for anyone wanting to sell their home is price it to meet the market. (Continued on page 12)

A Safe Place in the Sun You can rely on 888 Solar Tek to deliver affordable solar power with outstanding local service.

Are you tired of telemarketers from India calling you to sell you solar? Or maybe you have been confronted by door knockers trying to stitch you up with an over priced solar system?

At 888 Solar Tek we only rely on our good reputation, informative articles like this and local people telling friends and relatives about the good service they have received, so you are inspired to call the local guys for a safe place for all your solar power needs.

When Vincent Selleck founded 888 Solar Tek, he made sure everything we say and do helps our customers, treating them with respect and ensuring they save the most they can on power costs. He also insisted we educate people so they could make informed choices and not be vulnerable to unethical sales practices.

Today Vincent and his son, Azhlenn ensure that these ethical tenants are reflected throughout our business, ensuring that everyone receives the quality of service they deserve.

3 Ways We Help Our Community and Environment

1. Solar Power for Everyone - Residential Grid Connect Solar. We enrich ourselves by generating our own power and pushing back against the Coal and Gas fired Network with clean solar power. If you want to help yourself and our native wildlife, there is no better investment than solar power on your home and more trees for koalas in your paddock.

2. Power Independence - Off Grid Solar. New homes, sheds and cabins are great places to make a stand for clean energy. Use no grid.

Burn no coal. Generate all the power you need onsite and store it in batteries. Usually more affordable than connecting to poles and wires in the country and you are never exposed to runaway power prices again.

Across the Tweed Valley is providing the perfect opportunity for buyers to enter the market including for first-time home buyers below $500,000.

The easing comes off the back of persistent growth during the past three years across the Tweed Shire, with the market now shifting in favour of buyers eager to enter the market with spring listings coming onto the market.

The strongest growth during the past quarter in the housing market came from Kingscliff with two per cent growth since June and 14 per cent growth during the past 12 months.

Tweed Heads houses were the Tweed Shire’s second-best performer, followed by bordering suburbs of Tweed Heads South and Tweed Heads West (see table).

A slight drop in house prices in the Tweed Valley, including Murwillumbah, has dropped the median price back under the half a million-dollar mark and South Murwillumbah lost three percent, providing the perfect opportunity for investors and first home buyers.

Houses that are priced well in the valley are selling fast, but those listed with a higher price tag are sitting on the market for longer.

The unit market has also had mixed results during the past quarter.

Tweed Heads South had the strongest growth with two per cent over the quarter and eight per cent growth in the past 12 months.

Kingscliff and Bogangar performed the worst in the unit market, dropping seven per cent and 14 per cent respectively.

Find the right treatment for Dry Eyes

Don’t let dry eyes get you down, talk to the experts DRY EYE Disease (DED) or Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a complex and multifactorial condition that if left untreated can have a significant impact on your quality of life.

Symptoms vary from person to person but can include ocular redness, grittiness foreign body sensation, stinging, burning and paradoxically ‘watering’ due to ‘reflex’ tears.

It may sound like a minor issue and is often ignored because generally people do not go blind with it but can lead to discomfort and/ or reduce stability and quality of vision.

In extreme cases it can increase or even result in depression.

The tear film comprises of three layers that work together to keep your eyes moist and protected. The top oily layer helps to prevent evaporation of tears, the middle watery layer is

the thickest layer and the sticky bottom layer helps the tear film adhere to the eye.

Dry Eye Disease is caused by a lack of adequate tears due to decreased tear production, increased tear evaporation and an imbalance in the composition of tears, resulting in dryness and inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea (front of eye).

Common causes include: • Ageing: while dry eye can occur at any age, it becomes more common in later life, especially after age 50.

• Hormonal changes such as menopause.

• Blepharitis: a common eye condition ( such as crusty lids) that affects the eyelids resulting in dry eye and often responds well to ‘lid wipes’.

• Dry, smoky or windy environments.

• Certain health conditions, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, thyroid disorders, Sjogren’s Syndrome and Vitamin A deficiency.

• Some medications, including antihistamines, antidepressants, certain blood pressure medications, HRT and birth control pills.

• Blinking less often, which tends to occur when you’re concentrating, such as reading, driving or working on a computer.

• Tear gland damage from inflammation or radiation.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition, as well as by identifying the cause of the dry eye and personalising a care plan.

An optometrist will conduct tests that investigate tear production and tear

evaporation and examine the integrity of your tear film.

They may also instil special dyes into the eye that reveal specific areas of dryness or irritation.

Treatment options include lid hygiene, warm compresses/heat packs, artificial tears/ lubricants, manuka honey drops /gel, antiinflammatory therapy, dietary modifications and intense-pulsed light therapy (IPL).

The last few years has shown a vast improvement in the type of drops available as all drops are not equal.

Some of the older drops still contain a preservative -benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-

which if used more than four times a day can result in a dry eye.

Dry Eye Disease can be very distressing for the recipient but a collaborative approach with your optometrist can result in a plan aiming to give you the minimum layers of treatment to keep you comfortable.

Great eyesight for today and tomorrow Have you found that no matter the time of day, your eyes are full of tears or constantly itchy?

There are quite a few symptoms of dry eyes, but typically your tear system is irregular causing the symptoms you’re experiencing. Dry eye syndrome (DES) is when an individual doesn’t produce enough quality tears to correctly lubricate eyes. While dry eyes are often a part of the aging process, it affects millions of people.

Dry eyes can occur for many reasons, including; • Exposure to environmental allergens • Health conditions • Age & gender • Medications • Diseases Optometrists- Bernhard Kurtz and Diana Gillies- both have a special interest in helping people manage their Dry Eye problem.

Tweed Shire real estate report continued Continued from page 10 “There are many tips I could of course offer, however, the number one is price your property to meet the market, listen to your agent and thoroughly study their comparative market analysis should they provide one,” he said.

“If not visit open homes and check out how they compare to yours.

“You will often see properties listed for sale beyond say three months because the owner’s price expectation is too high.”

Mr Flynn sees the property market “shaping well” for the remainder of 2019.

“We have just entered the traditional strong spring listing and selling time,” he said.

TW Realty Principal and Director Wally Trankle said limited housing supply in the last quarter has resulted in active buyers securing current listings.

“With some sellers achieving higher than expected sale prices,” Mr Trankle said.

Mr Trankle said the demand for properties between $400,000 to $600,000 remains the strongest.

“Strong buyer activity has been between the $400,000 and $600,000 price range in both modern and older style homes, with strong interest in the rural sector and buyers having up $1 million and over to spend for that lifestyle /tree change property,” he said.

Mr Trankle’s tip for selling was “now is a great time to sell”.

“With spring at our doorstep and the current buyer activity, now is a great time to sell,” he said.

“I am confident that we will experience steady growth between now and the end of the year with the current buyer demands.”

Elders Real Estate Tweed Valley Principal Craig Dudgeon said supply has been really tight and properties are moving really well.

“Values have held and winter has been great for sellers,” he said.

“Spring has certainly bought out the buyers.”

Mr Dudgeon said buyers are still really interested in character homes. The buyers seem to be coming from Byron, Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby,” he said.

“Small acreage lots are very rare and snapped up very quickly.

“I recently listed a small acreage at Bilambil and had over 100 people attended its first open home. If anyone is looking to sell, I would advise to style your property and remove anything you don’t require. The extra time and effort will pay off.”

Looking ahead, Mr Dudgeon said the market is looking really good for sellers.

“So much enquiry and not enough properties,” he said.

“Our team has been achieving some fantastic results.”

B e l i n d a Fr a n k s f ro m Ray Wh i t e Murwillumbah said the last few months have seen our local market go from strength to strength, following the election on May 18, a 0.25 per cent interest rate drop and a softening from the banks on lending constraints.

“This was like turning a tap on for our local market in June/July and August,” she said.

“We saw the buyers come back into the market in numbers and a large number of properties that were for sale, sell within a few weeks.

Mrs Franks said the majority of buyers continue to be interested in renovators, character homes and homes with dual living options.

“First home buyers are still active in the market, but the properties available for those price ranges $450,000-plus are becoming increasingly scarce,” she said.

Mrs Franks said Murwillumbah is a “niche market” that continues to draw new residents looking for an escape from the coast and a country town atmosphere.

“I don’t think that sentiment will change,” she said.

“While the market is being driven by buyers looking for a good deal, it really comes down to the numbers. The less properties for sale, the more buyers that are in competition for what is available. Its a good time to sell in Murwillumbah and get a great result.”

The endangered mountain pygmy-possum needs bogong moths to survive

By Jo Kennett AN INVASION of moths has some locals up in arms but spraying them won’t help, according to one expert.

CSIRO entomologist Ted Edwards said the moths were an important source of food for some almost extinct animals and spraying them was “no use anyway”.

“They are in transit. If you spray, you are just as likely to get as many tomorrow,” Mr Edwards said.

“You spray one day and get another lot the next. At the end of migration, they will stop.

“It will only happen for a week or two - it’s quite a temporary thing.”

The Bogong moths are on their annual migration from the Darling Downs in southern Qld, to the alps.

“They normally go along the ranges as they head south,” he said.

“I would have thought they were more likely to go down to the west of the ranges with the fire situation but maybe it’s too dry west of the divide.

“They are off-course, whether it’s because of fires or dry weather, they need to drink or feed on flowers.”

Caves in the southern alps that would normally provide a summer home to millions of moths have been empty for the past two years, leading to fears for some species living in the alps which rely on the annual feast of bogong moths to survive.

“They are very important as a major food source for the critically endangered mountain pygmy-possums that lives in the southern mountains,” Mr Edwards told The Weekly.

“The pygmy-possums won’t breed unless there are plenty of moths to feed on and we haven’t had any at all in the southern alps in the past two years which was very concerning.

“The moths are also an important food source for antechinus (a mouse-like marsupial), spiders and lizards.”

Mr Edwards said the migrating moths don’t damage anything.

“The adult moths might feed on nectar sources but there won’t be caterpillars that feed on things,” he said.

This year, faced with the catastrophic decline of bogong moths and possible extinction of the possums, Zoos Victoria launched a Lights Off for the bogong moths to encourage people to turn off their unnecessary outside lights overnight to help bogong moths find their way to mountain pygmy-possums.

By Jo Kennett THE NORTH Coast Public Health Unit (NCPHU) has issued advice to Tweed residents to protect their health as smoke from bushfires affects air quality.

People with respiratory and cardiac issues in particular are being urged to stay indoors.

A spokesperson from NCPHU said fires scattered across the region, particularly in southern Qld, were affecting air quality in the region, depending on prevailing winds.

Assistant Director of the North Coast Public Health Unit, Greg Bell, said the fine particles could cause various health problems such as itchy or burning eyes, throat irritation, runny nose and illnesses such as bronchitis.

have left the house so we are not checking on them and that their driveway is clear enough to get the big fire trucks up.

“If they are going to stay they need to make sure they have the resources they will need.

“They need to have plenty of water and to make sure their water tanks are big enough for the brigade to tap into to help defend their house and property.

“For people with children they need to educate their children as to where a safe area is.

“We can look at things such as where they have their firewood pile and where there is a safe area that they can nominate for during a fire.

“We can also have a look to see if they need to do a bit more clearing to widen their fire breaks around their property.

“Some driveways will accomodate a car but won’t accomodate a fire truck and there is nothing worse than getting to a driveway and needing to get out a chainsaw to get up the driveway as by that time the house is really under threat.

“We are very happy for people to invite us to their properties to see how they can make it more accessible as we are all here to help each other.”

As part of the Open Day, there will be activities for children to enable parents to take time out to discuss their concerns with their local volunteer firefighters.

By Megan Albany ON SUNDAY, September 15, the Kunghur Rural Fire Brigade will host an Open Day to help continue to inform the community about what they can do should bushfires threaten their properties.

While the Terragon fires are currently under control they continued to burn this week and local crews are working around the clock to ensure they remain contained.

“We were out 'til after 8pm last night (Monday, September 9) because it flared up again and so we had ourselves and the Uki and Main Arm trucks there helping us,” Kunghur RFS Captain Ron Duckworth said.

“The fire is still going, it’s still burning along the eastern slope down towards the Clarrie Hall Dam to the water’s edge and smoke’s still coming up from there.

“I went out in the boat yesterday to check on it and it still has a bit to go before it gets to the water edge to be extinguished.

“I’d estimate this will take about another week given the way it’s creeping.

“We are not water bombing as resources are stretched and this is virtually under control in that no properties are under threat.

“I would estimate that it would have burnt well into the 300 hectares by the time it is finished.”

After a big day on the fire front Captain Duckworth took time out at the end of his day to urge residents to keep communicating with their local brigades about ways they can assist to make their properties accessible should fire trucks need to assist.

“The message we are trying to get across at the Open Day is that you can never rely on the previous seasons to predict this season,” Captain Duckworth said.

“I’ve been in the brigade for over thirty years and it’s never the same.

“With the fuel build up we have now, we would just like to advise residents to come down to the Open Day so they can get a fire plan in place.

“They need to decide if they are going to stay and defend or leave early and take their valuables.

“If they are leaving they need to leave early and notify someone in authority that they

Podiatry Feature 17

Better Health Family & Sports Podiatry

Learn to understand your child's feet to prevent pain EXPERIENCED LOCAL Podiatrist Brendan Sutton has been practicing podiatry for the past 15 years with a focus on helping children with foot and leg problems.

Dr Sutton has experienced hundreds of cases specialising in children, mostly active kids suffering with foot and leg conditions.

He established the first kids only practice in NSW where he saw children from all over the state who were referred to his clinic from babies to the adolescent child.

“I would see so many kids suffering from pain unnecessarily as normally the issues could be rectified quickly,” Dr Sutton said.

“The medical profession treats kids as adults, and there has been a shortfall in prevention rather than chasing symptoms.”

In 2018, Dr Sutton and his wife and moved Banora Point and purchased a practice to offer outstanding treatment to Tweed Shire locals.

“We see that we can provide a great service and treatments to families in this growing community,” he said.

“I believe that no child should ever be in pain and can provide long term management strategies to prevent them from getting adult problems by implementing preventative treatments and goals.

“I coach junior triathletes and runners, so helping kids achieve their goals and dreams is something I feel passionate about.”

Dr Sutton said kids are black and white in their thinking.

“Honesty and the happiness of a child gives me joy when we can somehow help them to either get over their pain, assist with their sport

through our programs, or training the future champions,” he said.

“Foot pain, knee pain and heel pain are common in the practice, we assess and treat based on alignment issues, joint hypermobility (loose ligaments), pain due to sporting injuries and active kids.

“Kids with Heel pain, knee pain and leg pain are the majority of cases.

“Mainly the active child is the most common patient that we see - runners, soccer players, footballers, tennis players, basketballers are a few of the kids that come in for my help.”

Dr Sutton said his practice provides stretching, massage, orthoses therapy to assist with the fast return to pain free activity.

“We see a wide variety of conditions from congenital to activity based conditions,” he said.

“It is not just the foot we assess. We look at the whole body and how the foot impacts on this so we can assess how we can help a child in need.

“We look at the history, pain, activity levels, joint range, ligamentous integrity and family history a few ways we build a clinical picture of our patient.

“We check footwear, assess the structures and muscle strength and balance.

“It is our holistic approach that gives us a better understanding and ultimately a better outcome for our patients.”

Dr Sutton said finding the right footwear is paramount to supporting good foot health.

“We offer a free fitting service to our patients so when they purchase footwear, we check them for free before they use them, so we are certain of the fit,” he said.

“We do not want problems presenting in children to develop into adult problems.

“No child should ever be in pain and the analogy of growing pains is no longer acceptable, if the child is in pain, there is a problem and it can be helped very quickly.

“Treatment usually can resolve the problem within a week or so but if left untreated it can go on for months.”

Need a helping hand during Pregnancy?

any mums know all too well the perils of pregnancy – the morning sickness, mastitis, swollen ankles, cracked nipples, labour pain… Child birth can be a right pain in the neck (or uterus)!

What isn’t as widely reported is the crushing pain that many pregnant women experience in their… hands.

While swelling in the feet and legs is a well-documented bugbear of mums-tobe, swelling in the hands and wrists isn’t as widely recognized during pregnancy – despite causing the often-debilitating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

Yet CTS is actually extremely common during pregnancy, affecting up to 62% of pregnant women (compared with 4% of the general population). It is the single most commonly diagnosed hand condition during pregnancy and accounts for up to 90% of all nerve entrapments during pregnancy.

Swelling and fluid retention during pregnancy is caused by hormonal changes in the body.

It can be complicated further by gestational diabetes, which promotes fluid retention (oedema) throughout the body, due to increased blood-sugar levels. This swelling ‘squeezes’ the median nerve as it travels through a tight anatomical compartment in front of the wrist, which runs from the neck, down the arm and through the carpal tunnel at the wrist, to the hand and fingers.

This nerve compression can cause numbness, tingling, throbbing, burning, swelling and/or pins and needles in the hands, fingers and/ or wrists (often worsening at night); as well as difficulty gripping objects and performing fine-motor tasks (e.g. preparing a baby’s bottle). One or both hands may be affected, although the dominant hand is usually worst affected.

Increased risk factors for pregnancy CTS include being overweight; having a family history of CTS; previous back, neck or shoulder injuries (e.g. whiplash); having gestational diabetes or hypertension; and having had previous pregnancies, which then causes the hormone, relaxin (which helps the pelvis/cervix to expand in preparation for childbirth) to be released in higher amounts throughout the body, thus promoting inflammation in the carpal tunnel.

CTS symptoms may worsen as the pregnancy progresses and are often at their most severe during the third trimester (however, in some cases, symptoms may not develop at all until after the baby is born).

Although many women experience relief within weeks or months of giving birth (when their hormone and body fluid levels return to normal), severe symptoms can linger for as long as one year after delivery. This can make it difficult to manage daily tasks such as picking up the baby, supporting the baby’s head during breast-feeding and changing nappies – all of which are likely to further exacerbate the CTS, which can be quite

disabling, not to mention disheartening, for new mums.

The good news is that CTS is both an easily diagnosable and treatable condition - with the right testing and advice.

Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are the “gold standard” in diagnostic testing for pregnancy CTS, as they provide accurate, objective analysis of the median nerve’s function across the carpal tunnel. Electromyography (EMG) studies can be used in conjunction with NCS, where thin needles and electrodes are used to record and analyse signals the nerves send and receive, and to show where damage to the nerves has slowed down or blocked the normal electrical signals. NCS and EMG testing is considered safe during pregnancy; however, you should always consult your GP or Specialist.

Corbett Neurophysiology Services (CNS) has been servicing local mums for more than twenty-five years, providing bulk-billed, premium quality NCS and EMG testing. We currently offer short waiting times, so there

is no need to prolong your suffering. Your results will be explained to you clearly and immediately by our highly experienced Neurologists and a comprehensive report will be sent to your Referring Doctor within 24 hours, so you can commence treatment immediately.

CNS is the only large private bulk-billing neurophysiology diagnostic service in QLD and Northern NSW. Our clinics are conveniently located in Brisbane CBD, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.

We use Australia’s only Cadwell NCS & EMG state-of-the-art beta software, to ensure the upmost accuracy of all results.

Bubs galore for Baby Show & Fete

By Jonathon Howard PARENTS AND their babies are preparing for the 15th annual Baby Show & Fete taking place at the Murwillumbah Anglican Church at Byangum Road on Saturday, September 14, from 8.30am.

The event will once again feature a range of exciting activities for both parents and children (up to and including four years old) including a jumping castle, face painting, creative crafting and more.

Fete stalls will also be back this year for visitors to browse, alongside a pop-up café, plants, fresh fruit, local jewellery and more.

Baby Show & Fete organiser Merilyn Gilmore said she wanted to encourage parents to come down and experience this one-of-akind event for the Tweed Shire.

“It’s going to be another great year of the unique Baby Show & Fete,” she said.

“It’s not only a chance for parents and babies to get together, but there’s also activities and things to browse, making it a truly communitywide event.”

Mrs Gilmore said the community response had been so positive she’s expecting around 30 to 40 babies.

“We’re also hosting the popular crowning of the Prince and Princess trophies for Baby of the Day, which was very popular with families last year,” she said.

The Baby Show will include four age groups with cutest smile, happiest baby and longest eyelashes.

“We’re also hosting the Salt and Pepper competition, which includes prizes for the most unusual salt and pepper shakers,” she said.

Mrs Gilmore was joined by Murwillumbah local Natalie Booth and her daughter Lalita Dahl alongside Deanna Walters and Bentley Booth (pictured below).

Both parents said they wanted to encourage local families to visit the Baby Show & Fete and join in the fun.

“It’s going to be a great day celebrating our local parents and their babies,” she said.

Professional photographer Katrina Cram will be available for photo sessions with prices ranging from $35 for three digital images provided on the day.

The event will open at 8.30am and entry is $5.

To find out more or to get involved with the Baby Show & Fete please phone Merilyn on (02) 6672 2013.

Burringbar Public School Principal Peter Halloran with students Taiyari, Harri, Olivia and Ayla

Burringbar School to celebrate 125 years

By Jonathon Howard BURRINGBAR PUBLIC School is preparing for their biggest celebration in the school’s recent history on Saturday, October 25, to mark 125 years since the school was first established.

The school will host a special School Fair from 10am with past students and staff as well as locals encouraged to attend.

The Weekly visited the Burringbar Public School to meet with Principal Peter Halloran and several students on Monday, September 9, to find out more about the school and its plans for the 125th anniversary.

Burringbar, like many Tweed Shire communities, has a rich and fascinating history built around farming.

The school was first established in January 1894 and had around 67 enrolled students by the end of the year.

The school successfully applied for a school bell in August 1908 with the application coming from teacher Frederick Clarke with a supporting letter from the local inspector that read: “This school now numbers 80 pupils. Burringbar is a village and a school bell would prove an important factor in checking punctuality”.

Mr Halloran said he was excited to welcome back former students, teachers and anyone

with a connection to the Burringbar Public School community for the school fair.

“We are extremely excited to be welcoming back past teachers and students to celebrate our school community at the fair,” he said.

“The students have been learning a lot about the school’s history as well as interviewing locals to get their stories of Burringbar and the school.”

Mr Halloran said a special time capsule that was buried in 1994 will be retrieved and replaced by a new time capsule.

The new capsule will contain items created by students from each class to be buried for another 25 years.

Students and staff who attended the Burringbar Public School are invited to be part of this ceremony, which follows a special assembly at the school, which will have performances by each class.

Starting at 10am, the Fair is open to the public and will be a great fun day.

“There’s something for everyone including a full day of live music, rides and jumping castles for the kids, market stalls and so much more,” Mr Halloran said.

Injured pelican rescued and recovering

Laser therapy is the latest and most effective treatment available for the treatment of fungal nail disease and is now available at Kingscliff Podiatry. We now treat fingernails as well as toenails.

Fungi are all around us and given the right conditions i.e. warmth, moisture, low light levels, and a food source, they can multiply and flourish. Fungal infection of the nail plate and bed is more likely if the nails have been damaged by toe stubbing or ill fitting footwear.

Fungal nail disease can cause the nail plate to thicken and detach from the nail bed causing discolouration of the nail to white, yellow, brown or even black in colour.

One of the biggest problems with the condition is negative self image, especially in our warm climate where toe nails are often on display.

Traditional treatments such as topical and oral antifungals have been largely unsatisfactory due to low to moderate success rates and potentially serious side effects.

Laser therapy (1064 nm) has been fully tested by medical research teams and it is

considered safe, well tolerated by patients and very effective in promoting the growth of clear nails in patients with fungal nail disease. Research has shown that 3 Laser treatments can achieve an 81% rate of total resolution of the condition. Patients should see a significant improvement 12 weeks after initial treatment and the number of Laser treatments required will vary with the severity of the fungal infection.

Kingscliff podiatry also treats all other conditions of the foot and use the latest technology to get the best results for our patients. These treatments include Laser therapy for soft tissue injuries such as Achilles Tendonitis, and 3D digitally scanned custom orthotics. We also supply orthotic friendly sandals and shoes as well as hyper – rockered shoes which act as a splint for many injuries.

If you think you may have fungal nail disease and would like to know more about Laser therapy, or are interested in any of the other services we provide have a look at our website www.kingscliffpodiatry. com.au or give us a call : 02 6674 2933 to book an initial appointment for diagnosis.

Laser therapy the most effective treatment

By Jo Kennett A LEADING vet has issued a warning after a pelican with fishing hooks caught in its feet was caught and being treated at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.

Mary Grant, a volunteer with Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and Australian Seabird Rescue, captured the injured bird for the second time in three weeks, after visiting the Tweed Coast for days to find the pelican.

Ms Grant took the juvenile female pelican to the hospital for treatment, though she said at the time the injuries were quite serious and could be life threatening.

This week, Coordinator at the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Foundation, Candice Dixon, said the pelican was doing well.

“The vet team said the hook was removed and the pelican is on medication, pain medication and antibiotics, and that is to control infection,” Ms Dixon said.

“It’s doing well in terms of removing the hook so that’s a really positive outcome.”

Head vet Dr Michael Pyne said the hospital gets hook and fishing line wildlife injuries every day.

“It’s a huge problem on the Tweed and Gold Coast,” Dr Pyne said.

“The obvious message is not to leave hooks and fishing line around and if the public sees it to pick it up.

“We really need fishermen and people not to feed birds as they hang around and get used to it and get into trouble.

“Some fishermen in fresh water have a number of lines out and they aren’t always well attended, and birds can get caught up really easily.

“If the public sees fishing line and hooks around please pick it up but dispose of it carefully.”

Ms Dixon said the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital works to treat, rehabilitate and release injured wildlife.

“We want to release that pelican and all our animals as soon as possible,” she said.

“We are one of the busiest wildlife hospitals in the world - we have over 11,000 animals through the door each year.

“People can become friends of the hospital and be invited to releases and vet talks which is a great way for wildlife lovers to get involved.”

Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Foundation and Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers receive no ongoing government funding for the treatment of the ever-growing number of wildlife cases.

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been and the youngest you’ll ever be again

Memorabilia needed for Uki School anniversary Get ready for

By Megan Albany ALMOST TWENTY-FIVE years ago Lily Carroll performed as a young student at Uki Public School’s 100th year celebration.

Now she is one of a number of exstudents who are helping to plan the school’s upcoming 125th anniversary in June 2020.

“I was there for the 100th celebration where we all got to carve our names into a brick and they still have a special garden with all the bricks with all the families’ names on it, so it seems weird to be involved in starting to plan the 125th anniversary,” Ms Carroll said.

“Back then I was a young child and I had to dance around the maypole and wear a bonnet.

“I don’t think I’ll be wearing a bonnet and apron next year or dancing around a maypole as that’s probably a bit old fashioned so I’m not sure if I’ll be doing that again.”

In preparation for the anniversary the school is calling for anyone who has been involved in the school’s long history to find any memorabilia, photographs or historic items they may have to share as part of a historical display that will be mounted at the Uki & South Arm Historical Society.

Ms Carroll whose son is now at the school, said she was a student at Uki Public from 1991 to 1998 where she completed kindergarten through to year six.

“I know they are asking for memorabilia but I don’t think I kept any,” she said.

Grandparents Day

Former Uki School students with their children who now attend the school including (front) Claudia Watt, Olivia Watt, Isabella Peard, Fraser Prentice, Oakley Abney and (back) Maxine Watt, Jessica Crichton, Daniel Prentice, Amelia Prentice, Kieran Prentice, Lily Carroll, Isla Abney.

“I’ve got the memories but mum and dad have all the class photos so it’s nice to look back at those and to see what people looked like and where they are now.”

“One of my favourite memories was of the art program because we used to do that in the Uki Buttery, which as a kid was really exciting, because we had to cross the road and back then there was no carpet in the buttery so we got to paint on the walls which was pretty wild.”

As a mother of three, Ms Carroll now helps out at the school alongside her old school teacher Vikki Armour who is now teaching a number of her exstudent’s children.

“Mrs Armour taught me and my partner also went to Uki School so the plot thickens,” she said.

“He was a few years older than me so we didn’t have much to do with each other in primary school.

“Having my son at the school brings back memories, the uniform’s still the same as the one that I wore and the beautiful playground with the big creek and the black bean trees are all so familiar.”

The Uki Public School originally opened in 1895 at Rowlands Creek on land provided by the Marshall family, which later became known as the Rowlands Creek Provisional School.

In 1901 the school was relocated into a new building at its present site. In 1906 the name was changed to Uki Public School. Back then the school had an enrolment of only 15 students.

It currently has an enrolment of 156.

Anyone with memorabilia or who would like to be involved in the 125th anniversary should contact the Uki Public School on (02) 6679 5128.

MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest is encouraging the Tweed community to show local grandparents and seniors how appreciated they are, by taking part in Grandparents Day celebrations next month.

Mr Provest said Grandparents Day would fall on Sunday, October 27, this year and included a state-wide awards program, photo competition and grants program for local events in celebration of the day.

“Grandparents, grand-friends and kin do so much for our community and enrich the lives of others,” Mr Provest said.

“I would urge everyone to nominate a deserving individual they know for the 2019 NSW Grandparent of the Year Awards.”

Mr Provest said community organisations, small businesses and councils can apply for a share of $200,000 to host events that celebrate grandparents and grand friends.

Entries for the Grandparents Day Photography Competition are open until midnight Sunday, September 15.

This competition aims to foster relationships between younger and older generations by capturing their special moments together.

“Grandparents give so much back. They support our families, make our communities stronger and provide invaluable knowledge to others,” Minister for Seniors John Sidoti said.

“I am looking forward to spending time with my family this Grandparents Day and am thrilled there are so many ways people can celebrate.

“I encourage all members of the public and businesses to take part.”

Students warned about climate rally “It is envisaged that adults will join this strike, which is already supported by some businesses and trade unions,” Mr Firth said.

Mr Firth said he spoke with several students who said they are “in the thick of the climate crisis”.

“Yet our government wants to open the floodgates to new coal, oil and gas projects that put all of us at risk,” Mr Firth said.

“We are already hurting from the impacts of climate change.

“If we don’t act now to transition fairly and swiftly away from fossil fuels, this will only get worse. It’s going to take all of us working together to succeed.

“Join people everywhere on September 20 – three days out from the UN’s Emergency Climate Summit – by taking the day off school, uni or work to show our politicians that we’re serious about climate justice for all.

“The world isn’t waiting so neither are we.”

The Weekly spoke with several local parents about whether they support their children striking from school.

“I don’t agree with it,” said one parent, who preferred not to be named.

“I do believe we have the right to strike and protest, but this could be timed better and allow students to do their schoolwork.”

Another parent said she was all for her children striking during school hours.

“Sometimes you need to make a statement and the students are using their school hours to make that statement, which I think speaks volumes for their cause and makes the adults listen,” a parent, whose name has been withheld, said.

Showgirl applications open

By Jonathon Howard THE SEARCH is on for the next Tweed River Agricultural Society Showgirl with entries now open and locals encouraged to apply.

The showgirl competition comprises of two divisions including a junior competition for girls aged 13 to 17 years and a senior competition for girls aged 18 to under 25 years.

Showgirl Competition Coordinator, Belinda Grace, said she wanted to emphasise that the competition is “not a beauty pageant”.

“Instead we aim to find passionate young women to become ambassadors for rural NSW, agriculture, the agricultural show circuit and our local community,” she said.

“Entrants do not need to have a rural background as they learn a lot about our local area by being involved in the showgirl competition.”

Ms Grace said all entrants gain access to invaluable life skills such as networking, public speaking and deportment techniques.

“These can help with enhancing opportunities for the entrants either in starting or further developing their careers,” she said.

“Entrants develop and further their knowledge of the local industries, become

active community members and are given the opportunity to become role models in the local community whilst having fun and meeting new people.

“If chosen to represent the Tweed River Agricultural Society as the 2019 Showgirl and Junior Showgirl, the girls will have the opportunity to compete at a zone final.”

Ms Grace said this opportunity can further enhance the overall experience and create great connections in other parts of NSW for the showgirls.

“The senior showgirl if selected at zone level has the opportunity to then compete at the Sydney Royal Show,” she said.

“We encourage any girls aged 13 to under 25 years who are interested in learning about our agricultural industries, how the Murwillumbah Show works or just looking to gain some confidence and life skills to contact the Tweed River Agricultural society to find out more about the competition or how to get involved.

“The Tweed River Agricultural Society can also help you get in contact with our showgirl coordinator and current showgirls if you would like to discuss entering the competition with them.”

Showgirls and young woman wishing to further their career prospects and would like to have the self-confidence to lead in their field of choice would benefit from the showgirl competition.

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH STUDENTS preparing to take part in the Global Students’ Strike for Climate (GSS4C) on Friday, September 20, are being reminded they could face disciplinary action for unexplained absences, according to NSW Department of Education.

The student strike is expected to take place at Ambrose Park, Pottsville, from 11am and will coincide with thousands of students striking across the state.

The Weekly put several questions to the Department of Education about the strike and a spokesperson said NSW public schools are “neutral places for rational discourse and objective study”.

“While the NSW Department of Education understands some students are passionate about this topic, all students who are enrolled at school are expected to attend that school whenever instruction is provided,” the spokesperson said.

“Any student not in classes on a school day will be marked absent and unexplained absences may be subject to the school’s disciplinary code.”

Tweed Shire resident Barry Firth said he wanted to encourage residents to support the world-wide action by attending the Pottsville rally.

The global SS4C movement was started by Greta Thunberg, a Swedish school student and is now an international celebrity.

The demands of the students in Australia include no new coal, oil and gas projects, including the Adani mine, the provision of 100 per cent renewable energy generation and exports by 2030 and funding a just transition and job creation for fossil-fuel industry workers and communities.

Season wrap up for Vulcans follows stellar season Groundbreaking Chinese

By Vulcans President Grant Vidler IT HAS been another fantastic season for the Vulcans which has now wrapped up for the 2019 AFLNRJ league.

Well done to the Brunswick Bulldogs and Ballina Bombers on taking out the flags this year.

As a club we were competitive across all age groups, but unfortunately a lack of numbers hurt our older boys.

All teams should be congratulated on their efforts and you all represented our town and your club with pride, playing hard but fair footy.

You showed true Vulcans spirit and we really want you all back with some mates next year.

We had an increase of 20 per cent in player numbers this year, mostly in the younger grades, which is a very encouraging sign for the future.

This year saw us gain our first ‘superstars’ team of U5s and U6s.

They embraced the sport & had a lot of fun kicking off our games on Sunday mornings. Our U8s had good numbers all year and they just seemed to grow in size every week.

They showed a high level of skill and their improvement was great to watch.

Coach Toni Fields did a super job in teaching them the basic skills of the game. Their drop punts and hand passing at times made them look like an older team.

The U10s were coached with a combined effort from Fred and Toni and the side was very competitive all year with impressive skills.

Thanks to all who played up for the U12s, well done boys, you had a fine season and keep up the good work.

Our U12s struggled a bit for numbers, having some U10s and U13s girls helping them out during the year.

film to screen at Regent

Under 13 Girls side had a strong season. Inset is Coach Toni Fields with her award

They showed great resilience and tried hard every game showing the true Vulcans spirit to overcome adversity and compete hard against much bigger sides.

Hats off to you.

The U14s boys started promisingly.

We had reasonable numbers and we tried to combine with Byron Bay to form a full team but it was not to be.

The league swinging games to stand alone fixtures on a Friday night saw numbers dwindle across all clubs, and the competition became a bit of a farce.

Hopefully those in charge pick up their game next season and we can again have a thriving U14s competition. Thanks to all the boys that gave it their best. I’m proud of you.

Our U13 girls team improved out of site throughout the year.

They were another team whose numbers kept increasing.

They lost their semi final to the Tweed Tigers by only four points and just missed out on making the grand final.

Considering that in the first game of the year the Tigers belted them by 58 points, it was a mighty effort from mostly first year players new to the game.

Coach Clary did a sterling job with them. Well done girls. I believe you will be real premiership contenders next year.

Congratulations to Ruby Cummins and Katie MacDonald on making the U14 team to represent the Northern Rivers at the Queensland State Carnival.

An amazing achievement for first year players.

Congratulations also to super coach Toni Fields on taking out the Female Coach Of The Year award for the Northern Rivers League (picture inset).

You did an amazing job with your young charges. Their improvement and skill set is testament to your dedication to them.

Our end of season presentation is on this Sunday kicking off at 1pm at Rabjones Oval.

Finally, I have to give a huge thank you to our 2019 sponsors.

Without you we wouldn’t have a club.

Our jumper sponsors Workwear Hub, IGA, Murwillumbah Dental & the Murwillumbah Services Club, major sponsors Hardings Earthmoving, Northern Rivers Pools, Active Life Physio, & Haymans Electrical, & our in-kind sponsors Priceline Pharmacy, Sportsworld, The Print Spot, Red Box Gym and of course this paper, The Tweed Valley Weekly.

See you all next year.

MURWILLUMBAH IS set to become one of the few cinemas in Australia to screen the limited release film, An Elephant Sitting Still.

The movie, which screens on Sunday, September 15, at 3pm at the Regent Cinema, has been one of the most discussed films to emerge from China in recent years.

The film was the directorial debut of Hu Bo, a young writer and film-maker who tragically took his own life soon after completing the film in 2017. He was only 29 years old.

The story revolves around four troubled individuals living in a decrepit industrial town in northern China, where abuse, violence and self-interest dominate. Despite only occasionally crossing paths throughout the course of the film, the four all become obsessed with the idea of going to Manzhouli, a town rumored to have an elephant in the zoo that simply sits and ignores the world.

With each instance of cruelty, violence, and callousness, the metaphor of being ignorant of your own damnation becomes progressively clear to the four protagonists. The film has been hailed by critics worldwide as a masterpiece of political cinema and offers an uncompromisingly grim yet poignant portrait of life in modern China. The New Yorker magazine described it as “one of the great achievements of recent cinema”.

In Australia the film premiered at the Melbourne and Sydney film festivals and will be screened once only in Murwillumbah.

Footy Tipping Winners 37

Kirra Beach Hotel wins The Weekly tippers comp at the Footy with Quinny THE SEMI finals are upon us. Some teams have cruised in whereas others have been working hard to secure their spot.

I still think the winner is in the top four.

Melbourne are a seasoned finals team as are the Roosters. Souths under Wayne are peaking at the right time and there is no more confident team then the Raiders. Manly have injury and judiciary problems, Sharks snuck in, the Broncos fell in and the Eels have been up and down all year. Of the rest the Tigers continue to run 9th, the Panthers with a new coach were disappointing.

The Knights faded badly and ended the season with a string of below par performances. The Bulldogs will rue a slow start as they found their groove late in the season and will take a lot of confidence from their finish. The Warriors continue to promise the world and deliver and atlas, the Dragons were easily the biggest disappointment of the season by a long way.

Justin and Mal definitely have their work cut out for 2020 and need to put the broom through and recruit strongly. We need a good team on the Gold Coast.

I’ve loved watching the new generation of players get a taste of NRL this year none more so than Maika Sivo, Payne Haas, Charnz Nicholls Klokstad.

I think Tedesco wins Dally M but my favourite NRL at the moment is Cameron Murray, he is a machine.

Congratulations to our 2019 top tippers!

Top tipper decides to donate winnings to assist farmers

2019 Final Footy Tipper Standings 1

Congratulations to all junior teams on their victory on the weekend with the most dominant team in all age groups getting the chocolates at Cabarita on Saturday.

Ballina proved a graveyard again for the Mustangs going down to a Jamie Lyon inspired Seagulls 38-18.

The Mustangs were brave but no match for a healthy and well drilled Ballina.

The Hillbillies travelled en masse to Ballina to support the Reggies who were never troubled against Casino.

Ballina were too strong for Cudgen in U18s given the gulls two premierships for the day.

In an upset the Raiderettes rolled Marist Brothers in the ladies league tag final to send two trophies back to Caba. Good luck to the U14 and U15s Group 18 players and staff who travel to Port Macquarie next week to contest the Country Championships.

This is the last League article for 2019, thanks to all those who have read along and I hope you have enjoyed my take on the ‘Greatest game of all’ from all angles.

See you at the Footy, Quinny

IT’S BEEN another outstanding year for the Tweed Valley Weekly Footy Tipping Competition with a closely fought battle for second and third and a convincing win

by Kirra Beach Hotel.

Second place this year was Mark Howlett from Tweed Coast Real Estate and Brent Collins from Tweed Coolangatta LJ Hooker scoring $500.

Third place resulted in two winners this year including Grant & Brady Certified Practicing Accountants partner/owner Stuart Brady winning $250 and Mitch Willmot at BGM Stone also picking up $250.

Kirra Beach Hotel representative Julie Craig (pictured) had a ripper tipping year remaining on top of the ladder for most of the competition and landing the $1,000 first prize.

Ms Craig said she enjoyed The Weekly’s footy tipping competition and is looking forward to next year.

“It was a great competition and I’d like to thank The Weekly,” she said.

“I’m donating the $1,000 to the Buy a Bale charity campaign and will be nominating water to be trucked out to farmers in need.”

Mr Brady said he was also intending on donating his $250 to help support six-year-

old Blake Milford-Kendrick from the Northern Rivers (see letters).

“Thanks so much again for organising and running The Weekly footy tipping comp this year,” he said.

“I will be putting the $250 towards assisting Blake, who has been diagnosed with idiopathic sever aplastic anaemia.

“It is an extremely rare condition where his autoimmune system destroys his bone marrow.

“His body is unable to produce blood, so Blake has been receiving blood transfusions every few days at Queensland Children’s Hospital.

“He is going to need a bone marrow transplant very soon and thankfully one of his four brothers, Kane, is a match.

“There are few more tests to do, but Blake will then have chemotherapy and other treatments to destroy his immune system, which is destroying his bone marrow.

“The family will require accommodation in Brisbane and will be travelling between Mullumbimby and Brisbane every other day.”

The Weekly would like to thank all our dedicated footy tippers for another great year of NRL and look forward to welcoming you back in 2020.

To find out more about the The Weekly tippers comp please phone the office on (02) 6672 4443.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD Quentin Tarantino is one of those filmmakers whose encyclopedic knowledge comes out in endless references in his movies, and particularly so in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino’s love letter to the golden age of the American film industry.

As everybody knows by now - given the great success that the movie is having everywhere - the story revolves around an aging television actor and his stunt double trying to navigate Hollywood’s changing landscape at the end of the ’60s.

The fact that the two protagonists have the faces and talent of Leonardo di Caprio and Brad Pitt has surely boosted the popularity of the movie, but it is the mash-up of real-life events and characters with pure fiction and the wealth of film references that give the film its depth and texture.

Some characters are historical – ie Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski, Charles Manson etc - while others are fictional but based on real characters. The protagonist Rick Dalton is inspired by actors who faltered in the 1960s after their type of leading men went out of fashion and Dalton’s relationship with his stunt double, Cliff Booth, is based on that of actor Burt Reynolds and his longtime stunt double Hal Needham, who both serve also as individual inspirations for the two characters.

Is this scene from Sylvia from a winning film? You be the judge at the Manhattan Short Film Festival

Want to judge Oscar-qualified films?

By Megan Albany FANCY YOURSELF an armchair film critic, then now could be your opportunity to be the judge for the 22nd Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival.

Tweed movie buffs can join audiences in over 400 cities globally in judging the ten best offerings from emerging Oscarqualified filmmakers.

The final ten films from the festival will screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period and will be screened at Currumbin RSL on Thursday, September 26, at 1pm and again on Thursday, October 4, at 6.30pm.

“It’s the second time we have screened the Manhattan Short Film Festival,” said Currumbin RSL Marketing director Carmen Mudie.

“We held it for the first time last year and we had about 50 people at each session and everyone that came said it was amazing and asked us to please bring it back next year.”

This year, the festival is showcasing female directors with five out of the ten films having had women at the helm.

The top ten films include the Nefta Football Club (France), Debris (USA), Driving Lessons (Iran), Tipped (Canada), Sylvia (UK), The Match (Finland), This Time Away (UK), Malou (Germany), A Family Affair (UK) and At The End of the World (USA).

Archive footage from many films is included and obviously even the title itself is a reference to Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America, both directed by Sergio Leone. The setting of Los Angeles in the ’60s was not made

by CGI but on location and it required months of collaboration with city planners, business owners, set decorators, and construction crews. It is no wonder why, as a film critic wrote, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is “made by a movie-lover for movie-lovers. And even those who don’t qualify may still enjoy the hell out of it”..!

“The movies are really great, some are funny, some are scary and some are deep and meaningful,” Ms Mudie said.

“I’m personally looking forward to seeing Sylvia, which is about a car and how cars can be a lot more than just a car for some people.

“There’s another one called driving lessons which is about a lady in Iran getting driving lessons with a male driving instructor so her husband has to go with her because of local laws.

“I haven’t seen the film yet but I think this is probably a comedy as the husband and driving instructor don’t get along.”

Manhattan Short is the only event of its kind with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue.

“At the end of all the films everyone in the audience gets handed a judging sheet for all the films as well as a list of nominated actors,” Ms Mudie said.

“They then get to vote for best film and best actor and they hand them back to us and then we send that through to Manhattan Short Headquarters and then they compile all the lists and announce who won.”

The winner is announced at ManhattanShort.com on Monday, October 7, at 10am EST. Tickets to the screenings at Currumbin RSL cost $5 and are available from Currumbin RSL Reception on (07) 5534 7999.

Auslan tour of Gallery and Museum TWEED REGIONAL Museum and Tweed Regional Gallery will be holding an Auslan-interpreted guided tour of both centres as part of their commitment to making art and culture accessible to everybody in the community.

On Saturday, September 14, there will be a one hour Auslan interpreted tour of the Museum from 10am, followed by an Auslan tour of the Gallery from 12.30pm.

“At the moment we offer two Auslan guided tours a year and we are wanting to connect more with our hearing impaired community,” said Tweed Regional Gallery Education and Audience Development Officer, Jodi Ferrari.

“Having interpreters is a really great opportunity to connect people with our program and our collection.

“It’s part of our access education work which is about being accessible to everybody in the community.

“The tour itself is led by museum and gallery educators and then the interpreter translates for our deaf and hearing impaired audiences.”

Ms Ferrari said the upcoming Auslaninterpreted tour would focus on new exhibitions in the gallery.

“At the gallery they will have the

opportunity to explore the story of art and friendship behind the exhibition, A Shared Obsession: Margaret Olley & Fred Jessup,” she said.

“We also have a wonderful new ecclectic contemporary exhibition called Love which will be a really fun one to guide the visitors through and I’m sure that will inspire a lot of discussion about what love means.”

Museum Director Judy Kean said the new exhibition Sea Stories would be part of the tour of the Museum.

“It features some rare items loaned by the community such as the bell from the Alberta, which sunk off the Tweed Coast in 1890, and sawfish rostrums, alongside vintage film footage.”

Snakes stirring and rough time for flying fox Trombonist blowing other musician’s

By Rachael Lebeter SPRING IS the start of the busy season for Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers (TVWC), although this year it has been an unusually busy winter as well.

We are beginning to get call outs for carpet pythons and other snakes, which are stirring.

Michelle Phillips and her team of bird carers are being kept busy with baby bird reunites and rescues.

TVWC members are working around the clock to rescue, rehabilitate and release our wildlife.

Sadly, spring has not begun well for our local flying foxes and bats.

There has been a rescue almost every day.

The majority of bats have been tangled on barbed wire fences but there has also been an alarmingly high number of bats dying on our roads and from unknown causes.

Twenty-seven flying foxes were rescued this August, which is nine times the number of bats rescued last August and 50 per cent higher than the worst month of flying fox rescues on record.

It is another blow to an already vulnerable species that is essential to the health of our eucalypt forests and rainforests.

Bat rescuer and TVWC President Jan Pilgrim attended a black flying fox rescue last week at Crabbes Creek (pictured).

“I have had some awful bat rescues lately,” she said.

“One had been on the fence so long that she was having a miscarriage when I got there. It was terrible. And after all of that trauma, she had to be put down.”

Fortunately, the black flying fox at Crabbes Creek was called in more quickly and could be saved.

“She was caught by both wings,” Jan said.

“Which means she couldn’t reach to chew herself free and didn’t do much damage to her mouth.”

This bat, which was also a pregnant female, was taken to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and is now with a TVWC carer.

Although she has a good chance of recovery, she has also lost her baby due to stress.

“Flying foxes are incredibly intelligent. They know and they mourn their babies,” Jan says.

Corrina Lever, TVWC Bat Coordinator, said whether you love or hate flying foxes and bats - “no animal deserves to die in pain”.

“A quick call to our hotline not only addresses the suffering endured by these animals, but also the concern of public health and safety issues,” she said.

Although we appreciate their compassion for native animals, it is important to remind Tweed Valley locals that they must not attempt to rescue bats themselves.

Their best course of action is the call the TVWC 24-hour Hotline on (02) 66 724 789 immediately.

A small percentage of flying foxes and bats carry lyssavirus, which may infect humans if they are bitten or scratched.

Bats should only be handled by vaccinated and trained TVWC members.

Attempting to remove a bat tangled on barbed wire or in fruit tree netting, even with gloves, may result in a scratch or bite.

Well-meaning members of the public can also cause irreparable damage to the bats’ delicate wings.

TVWC members would much rather be called out to a situation where the animal turns out to be ok, than get there too late.

horns at three day Ukitopia festival

By Megan Albany DESPITE HER big voice and big on stage personality, singer and trombonist Kellie Barnett from the ‘Trombone Kellie Gang’ is not as keen on blowing her own horn as one might expect.

Instead, the blues and soul performer is keen to make noise about the talent of the musicians in her band, her pianist/singer daughter and other local musicians who will be taking to the stage from 12pm until 8pm this Saturday, September 14, as part of the Ukitopia festival.

“It’s not about me, it’s all about the Trombone Kellie Gang, that’s the band,” said Ms Barnett.

The band, which includes Scrubby Pete on lead guitar and vocals, Justin Pfeiffer on double bass and Matt Elliott on drums, are part of a line-up of local musicians who Ms Barnett said have been hand picked to showcase the best music Uki has to offer.

“The music is going to be fabulous, there are a lot of local acts so it gives local musicians a chance to get out there and strut their stuff so it’s really supporting the musicians,” she said.

“The Trombone Kellie Gang are a blues and soul band and it’s a pretty raunchy party band so it can really get the party started.”

Also on the line-up is Ms Barnett’s daughter who goes under the name of Kuwani Li. “That’s her stage name, she’s playing some beautiful jazz piano and she’s singing with her beautiful, warm, whimsical vocals,” she said.

The performance will not be the first time the mother and daughter have performed on the same bill.

“We have performed together at the water mining benefit concert in Uki and I also sing at aged care facilities and she often plays flute and sings with me,” Ms Barnett said.

“It gives her that expression which we all need and as her mum I am happy as long as

she is doing whatever feels good to her and she loves it.”

Ms Barnett said she believes music is a great vehicle for anyone who wants to express their emotions.

“I certainly find it therapeutic,” she said.

“A lot of things have gone down in my life and it gives me a chance to express myself in a way where I can still give through music which I think is the same for a lot of people.

“Trombone’s not a dainty little instrument so you’ve got to talk the talk and walk the walk and as a blues, jazz and soul singer, when I have something to say you can certainly hear me.

“I have got a good set of lungs but you have to have that for trombone.

“I like the lower end of musical sounds and they say trombone is very similar to the voice as it has all the harmonics so it is quite similar to singing.

“It’s a slide instrument so it’s a bit slippery and fun and I think when I started it as a teenager I just liked it because it was loud.”

Ukitopia is a free three day festival which takes place from Friday, September 13, through until Sunday, September 14.

Band performances are unticketed and free and take place in the Uki park.

Trombone Kellie will be performing from 5pm - 6pm on Saturday, September 14. For more information visit www.trombonekellie.com

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately?

Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

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

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

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

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

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

Justine acknowledges Early Learning Matters Week

Ph: 0408 344 412

CONDONG BOWLING CLUB FIRSTLY MY apologies as last week’s notes missed the printing deadline.

The Ladies Weekend Pennant team travelled to Yamba to play the regional final against South West Rocks.

Unfortunately for our girls they were defeated by a red hot opposition.

Last Saturday saw the second semifinal of the Men’s Open. Jim Knight, Dave Cranwell, Mick Knight and Mick Chilcott were too good for Jeff McDonald, Gary Whittaker, Jim Jenkins and Geoff Keevers and will now take on Wazza Peart, Alan Fawcet, Peter Ayres and Dave Evans in the final this Saturday in what should be a close game.

LOCAL MP Justine Elliot visited Gumnuts Early Learning and Preschool in Pottsville on Wednesday, September 4, as part of Early Learning Matters Week.

Early Learning Matters Week provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance and value of early education and seeks to increase public awareness and understanding of the benefits of investing in early learning.

“It was wonderful to spend the morning with the children and staff at Gumnuts Early Learning and Preschool and thanks to the children for showing me around their fantastic centre,” Justine said.

“Every week is important in early childhood education but this week in particular is an opportunity to recognise the contribution of the people who work in early childhood education supporting our local families.

“I applaud all the early educators at Gumnuts, and across the North Coast, who provide valuable care and support to families in our community and recognise the important work they do in laying down the foundation for our children’s future.”

Death Notices

In Memoriam

RENEE HERMANNSEN- DETEINDRE Friends of Renée Hermannsen-Déteindre of Mooball were saddened to hear of her death on July 11th, aged 90.

With French heritage and Swiss citizenship, Renée was born in Bohemia, in Czechoslovakia, and experienced at fi rsthand the traumas of the Second World War in Central Europe.

In 1946, as a teenager, she returned with her family to Switzerland to continue her education, particularly in languages. Her adult years were spent in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and fi nally Australia.

using virtually every means of transport devised by man.

Her prolific paintings depicted mostly Tuscan landscapes, reflecting her sense of Utopia.

Over many decades she had been an ardent visitor to European and American art galleries and became a member of the Tweed Regional Gallery Foundation.

Renée was well endowed with that Central European sense of humor- the ability to see a humorous side to the direst of situations even to enlivening a kafee-klatsch with tales of culinary and household disasters as well as boastful successes.

Renée was twice married – in Italy and then in Northern Germany. As an accomplished linguist, in command of 5 languages, she was engaged by the European Atomic Research Centre near Geneva for about a decade.

Sustained by a positive outlook and a relaxed nature, she stoically bore failing health in her fi nal years. She is survived by her two daughters, and family in Switzerland, Germany and the Czech republic.

A resident of Mooball since 1987, Renée divided her time between overseas travel and painting. Her travels took her to most countries, on all continents, adventurously

Memories of a warm, affectionate and accomplished lady will long remain with her widely-scattered friends, as well as her long-time partner in Mooball.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy

THIS SUNDAY our Juniors will have their first sign-on for the coming season with an open day for parents to inspect the club from 9am to 12pm.

It will also be a “Kids Time to Party” from 11am with face painting, fairy floss, jumping castle, snow cones, tango gelato ice cream, jukebox and dance off and sausage sizzle.

Looking ahead to the patrol season, a patrol captains meeting has been held and twelve patrols will be on roster. Retiring patrol captains Trevor Tesch, Mick O’Brien and Greg Wood were acknowledged and thanked for their services. Patrol rosters have now been completed and are available to patrolling members via their SLS portal.

A new patrol wagon is being designed and should be ready for use at the start of the season. As the new arena will also be left on the beach, the general agreement is that it will be larger, bottom heavy and have a solid floor.

Members requalifying skills maintenance will be held on

Thursday evenings 6pm – 8pm on October 10th, 17th and 24th, and surf will be held on Sunday, October 20 from 8am–1pm.

At present there are 17 Surf Rescue Certificates and Bronze Medallion candidates in training, with the next one scheduled in November.

A draft copy with terms of reference on Water Safety at major events with a working group has been formed by SLS Australia. The twelve member committee includes Cudgen members Mick Crawley as a Management Committee member of ALBERT and Paul Kenny, SLSA Officials Advisor.

A club committee was formed last Sunday to organise this season’s NSW Country Titles. Last year we attracted over 1,400 competitors and 140 officials. The meeting reviewed all aspects of hosting last year both physical and financial.

It will be held February 1 to 2 next year.

Fastest on Sand Carnival dates for this season are November 16th and December 14th at Kurrawa, and Mooloolaba February 22nd.

Back L-R: John Grace, Trevor Knott, Cec Batty, John Lundberg. Front: Keith Kennedy and Bill Lynch. Absent: Kevin Clifford.

Water temperature was 20 degrees last Sunday with the Coldies swim to Charlie Buchanan 13 sec, Amanda Clark 24 and Fred Weder 45.

Looking back: in the early 1950s, basketball was played in the Murwillumbah Catholic Hall. Later it was conducted on a

floodlit outdoor court opposite the Regent Theatre in male and female divisions. The Surf Club entered a team in the men’s B grade under the name of ‘Dumpers’ and won the 1958 competition.

Last week’s trivia: Beach Flags winners – 1981 Adam Mills Under 15 Australia. 2000 Tom Mobbs

Under 18 Australia, 1997 Matt Nelson NSW Open.

This week: Our Nippers won the NSW Beach Relay in 9 year 1968; 10 year 1970; 11 year 1971. One of the team also won the beach sprint in 9 year and 11 year. Name any member.

Holding Shotwith Judy Tuckey Jill Morris and Sue Lawrance as they attempted to circumnavigate the Senior 4s event.

In the preliminaries, the Tweed Byron ladies were under the hammer at the hands of a strong Penrith City team but squeezed into the quarter finals with a one shot advantage.

The ladies then had to contend with Port Macquarie City on the next leg of their journey.

Playing hard, this well-gelled team was successful in claiming victory with a substantial margin to move up the ladder.

The semi-finals resulted in the ladies being challenged by Malua Bay for a berth in the final. Whilst having the shots in the head and keeping in touch throughout the game, the Pottsville ladies were eliminated from the comp by a minimal margin.

THE RECENT Women’s Triples Championship Final at Brunswick Heads with Jenny Lofts (S), Jenny Meinel and Julie Quigley challenging Marcia Chichton (S), Fay Parkes and Sharon Allen for top honours evolved into a tough encounter for both teams.

Team Lofts was slow to get going but made amends with a count of five on the seventh end to level the score on 7-7.

Six more ends saw the scores level again, this time on 14-14. Fierce duelling during the remaining eight ends resulted in team Lofts, with minimal shots in hand, being declared the winner of this event.

State Championship finals at South Tamworth generated two super days of competition for Pottsville’s George Moore (Skip), Marie Comerford,

Bowls NS has instigated a new State Championship, the Over 40s Pairs, and the inaugural games will be conducted on September 14 and 15 at various venues. Formatted on threebowl pairs over 18 ends, with a time limit of two-and-a-quarter hours per game, preliminary games are drawn in sections of four players.

Bowls FNC is complimented with eight teams contesting this event that includes Dave Sheather and Boyd Kelly (Cabarita); Phil Clarke and Justin Jones (Ocean Shores); and Darren Black and Matt Masula (Pottsville) representing the Tweed Byron District.

Ballina Bowls Club (Cherry Street) is the venue for BFNC with the games commencing at 8.45 am this Saturday.

The overall winner from the eight teams competing will go forward to the State Final Series from November 2-3 at Club Maitland.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

THE ISA World Surfing Games is happening in Miyazaki, Japan, right now through to September 15.

And it matters for a whole bunch of reasons: 240 surfers — including over a dozen WCTers — representing a record-breaking 55 nations are battling for gold and a shot at Olympic qualification. The slots for America, Australia, France, Brazil and one for South Africa are going to come from the CT, so they’re not going to Japan to win a slot. They’re going there to represent their country. But eight surfers will qualify for Tokyo 2020, on a continental basis, with the top eligible man and woman from Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe earning slots in the Olympic Games (The Americas’ slots were contested at the Lima 2019 Pan Am Games, where two Peruvians basically qualified).

So far the women have completed with Peruvian Sofia Mulunovich wining gold, with Carissa Moore the only WCT surfer to make the final.

You can checkout the action via isasurf.org/wsg/2019/en/ where they will have a live webcast as well.

Dale Taylor Runner-Up in Bali Adaptive Pro

POTTSVILLE SURFER and Australian Adaptive Surfing Champion, Dale Taylor, has performed well picking up a second place in the Bali Adaptive Pro. Taylor has the lead scoring a 9.15 for his best wave, leading the final until the

last 45 seconds when the heat winner grabbed a bomb set and stole the glory.

A second place is a great result, and Pottsville’s oldest grommet is off exploring Indonesia as we speak, with many great stories to come back with I’m sure (image inset).

WSL Announces Challenger Series

THE WORLD Surf League will launch the Challenger Series, a new level of competition that will provide athletes more opportunities at the highest level to qualify for the elite Championship Tour.

The premium Challenger Series events, that will exist as part of the overall Qualifying Series, will be the ultimate battleground for surfers to showcase their talents and qualify for the elite-level of competition.

The 2020 Qualifying Series will feature two primary segments: the Challenger Series (events that award 10,000-points towards a surfer’s QS ranking) and the QS 5,000, 3,000, 1,500 and 1,000 events that will all contribute to a surfer’s year-end QS ranking as they work towards qualifying for the CT. The Challenger Series will increase the number of 10,000-point events from six to seven for men and from two to four for women, offering equal prize money for men and women.

The Challenger Series will feature eight premium venues in Piha (NZL), Ballito (ZAF), Huntington Beach

(USA), Pantin (ESP), Ericeira (PRT), Phillip Island (AUS), Haleiwa (HAW) and Sunset Beach (HAW).

It is great there are more qualifying events, but a shame there is none for the men in Australia. Seems like the commentary team on the WSL Australian’s are most of the time left out.

Passing of an Icon

WELL EARLY this week, the surfing industry lost one of it’s best known behind the scenes men.

Adrian Dent was the man behind DNA Sound, the company that provided the PA Systems for surfing contests for more than three decades.

Adrian provided the soundtrack to surf contests, and was the absolute best at what he did. He was also a true mate and a legend, living around Crabbes Creek and Mullumbimby in recent times.

He was friends with all the pro surfers, and like myself had seen Parko, Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore rise from young grommets to World Champions.

Adrian had done events in Tahiti, Fiji, Tasmania, all the major professional events from Bells to the Quiksilver Pro. He was part of the furniture at all the events, loved by many, but always sidestepping the limelight.

The most you would hear him say on the microphone was “test - one - two”.

That was all he wanted to do.

Myself and many others will miss the World’s Best Soundman. Vale Adrian.

Raiders take reserve grade, LLT title, Lyons trifecta gives Ballina win

By Jo Kennett THE MUSTANGS first grade side went in the underdogs against the Seagulls but several injuries and suspensions from last week’s game had them up against it.

“The Crompton brothers, two of our key players were out, but I don’t think it would have much difference because the first 20 minutes they were pretty physical and made us pay for our mistakes,” Mustangs Captain Caleb Howell told The Weekly.

“Off the back of our hard work Jamie Lyon made the most of their defence and setting them up for good attacking play.

“We were really disappointed, but we knew they were a class team and they put together their best game of the year.

“There’s a pretty simple recipe to win, just completing your sets and holding the ball and they nailed it.” Ballina took the win 38-18.

“Thanks to all the supporters that got down to cheer us on and all club members and volunteers,” Howell, who is off to Canada to live for a while, said.

The Mustangs won NRRRL Club of the Year and Liam Cusack was the NRRRL’s top try scorer.

Caleb Howell was top goal scorer and was surprised to hear he was the top point scorer in the NRRRL. Well done on a great season boys.

Raiderettes win thriller

THE GRAND final opener, the Ladies League Tag clash between the Tweed Coast Raiderettes and the Marist Brothers Ramettes was a downto-the-wire thriller and one of the best games of the day.

Marist Brothers went into the grand final unbeaten but the last time they played the Raiderettes it was a 6-6 draw and a sign that the Tweed Coast girls were only getting better.

Under sustained attack from the Ramettes, the Raiderettes’ brilliant defence once again proved the difference in keeping their opponents from scoring in the first quarter.

Then Brooke Saddler got the ball in-goal and broke away and bolted, passing to Teaghan Laing half way up the field who put her

foot down and almost crossed for a try herself before fending off a possible tag by passing to Saddler who crossed for a try in the corner.

It was one of the most brilliant pieces of play all day from two of the best in the league and the reason for our front page this week. Just on the half-time hooter the Ramettes, Shataya King, snuck in for a try to go to 6-4.

Six of the Ramettes points came from penalty kicks with the Ramettes in front 10-4 before Teaghan Laing found a gap and scored. Emma Johnson showed grace under pressure, battling strong winds for the conversion to take it to 10-10 just before the fulltime buzzer sounded and the game went into extra time.

Three minutes in Marist Brothers gave away a penalty in front of the posts and Johnson booted the Raiderettes into club history as they managed to hold the Lismore girls off until the siren sounded.

In only her first year coaching, Trudi Carter has proven herself one of the best in the NRRRL, a master strategist and student of the game who put everything into taking her girls, who were very unlucky to miss out on a finals berth last year, to the grand final and she had the team to do it too.

“I’m so proud of the girls, everyone one of them, they were so good, and we won the grand final,” an overjoyed Carter said.

Hats off to captain Sarah Doyle who gave a very gracious speech from the podium which ended with the word “party”, as if they needed any encouragement.

“We had each other’s backs. We all just love each other and I’m so proud of the girls,” a very happy Doyle said afterwards.

Teaghan Laing backed up her Fiji rep tour with the much-deserved player of the match award.

“We expected it to be hard and a low scoring game. I was visualising all week and I came in and they gave us green wristbands and then I saw green cubicles and I just knew we had it, I was never worried,” Laing said.

“It’s awesome because a lot of our team are mothers and it’s harder to get the time to do this, so it makes it even better that we have such a good support crew.”

It was a great year for our LLT

THE TWEED Coast Raiders never looked troubled by Casino on their way to their first title.

Ethan Brouwer scored two early tries to get Raiders on the road 10-0 in the first minutes of the game.

Captain Luke Campbell was the next cab off the rank, bulldozing his way through the Casino defenders to take the score to 16-10 with a tricky conversion in windy conditions.

With 15 minutes to go in the first half Casino finally got on the board taking it to 18-4 at half time.

The Raiders came out firing, with Blake Hawkins crossing for a try two minutes in, taking it to 22-4.

With nine minutes to go Lachlan Dawson took it to 28-10.

Casino scored with five to go but the Raiders absolutely dominated to take their first reserve grade premiership.

There was some fantastic defence from Cody Hart and Luke Willoughby lived up to the family name being named man of the match and also, according to one source, almost beating brother Dan to NRRRL Player of the Year.

“Luke Campbell bought that A grade mentality, they were never going to lose,” Connor Hickey said.

“The Reggies forwards hold the ball and that’s how you win games.

“They’ve based the season on that.”

“We couldn’t have done it without Ethan Brouwer and Luke Willoughby. He’s been man of the match for most the games, this year including today,” Ethan Barr said.

“They put up a good fight, but we were too good today.

“We couldn’t have done it without the supporters either, we had about 300 turn up today.”

Raiders reserve grade coach Matt Wishhart said the team improved as the season progressed.

“We had four losses and then

and a field goal to Vitori Buatava.

Ballina were always dangerous, as their kick return was threatening.

With eight minutes remaining, trailing 27-24, Webb Lillis slotted a long-range penalty to even the scores up, 27 all.

With two minutes remaining Casuarina swooped on a loose ball just inside the half-way mark and with some tremendous support play and short, sharp passing, centre Rian Oliver scored under the posts to clinch an incredible win.

For Casuarina, Webb Lillis had a wonderful game contributing 11 points with his boot and making a number of incisive breaks.

In the backs, Tori Batavia and Rian Olivier consistently threatened the opposition, while Casey Caulder at fullback was sharp in attack and rock solid in defence.

The Casuarina forwards dominated the opposition and clearly provided the platform for the win.

Breakaways Ross Calvin, Henry Bradford and Trent Ryan worked tirelessly to shut down the opposition.

Front rower Rob Beacroft was solid up front and No 8 Mitch Planten was brutal in both attack and defence.

Casuarina will now take on the powerful Wollongbar-Alstonville team who have been the dominant team of the competition.

Wollongbar have participated in the last eight grand finals winning the last four.

During this season, Casuarina were the only team to defeat Wollongbar in the regular season 35 - 29 and in the first-round encounter Casuarina were defeated 26 - 22.

teams, with the Rookie Hornets girls also proving themselves a force to be reckoned with and we look forward to a strong season from the Murwillumbah girls back on track next year as well. Well done on a great year ladies.

we got ten in a row. We were just playing simple footy,” he said.

“It works in reserve grade and it worked today.

“Luke Campbell was a great captain because he played A grade last year and he committed to us this year. He wanted to play with his brother Adam because their dad just passed away and they wanted to play together.

“We thought we’d be playing Mustangs today, but we were stoked to get such a great win.”

Raiders president Tony Mason said it had been the most successful two years in the club’s history.

“We won A grade last year, but reserve grade and the Ladies League Tag team had never made it,” Mason said.

“You’ve got to remember that no one gets paid, we play for the love of the club.

“We had a lot of important guys with bad injuries in first grade but next year we have Mick Gordon and we are going to be trying to go one better next year.”

Dan Willougby was an absolute machine all year in first grade and was named a very well-deserved NRRRL Player of the Year.

THE CUDGEN Under 18s team have had a brilliant year and were unlucky to go down 24-6 to the Seagulls.

The Cudgen team was loaded

with talent and they were dominant for much of the season, on top at one stage towards the end, but Ballina came out with something special for the grand final and dominated on the day.

The Hornets boys would have been gutted, but they did their club proud to make it that far and it should provide the inspiration to go one better next year. Well done boys.

A massive thanks to everyone who played a crucial role in getting these reports together each week.

At the Mustangs that was Caleb Howell, Nathan Jordan, Nick Forrester, Jamie O’Grady, Tammy Ayres and Debbie Vickery. At the Hornets a big thanks to Mark O’Grady, Jake Sands, Kirra Stedman and Letitia Kelly. Much appreciation also to Raiders Paul O’Brien, Tony Mason, Guy and Drew Lanston, Dan Willoughby, Brent Kite, Mike Ashburn, Trudi Carter, Chantel Thompson, Sarah Doyle and photographer Josie Thacker.

As always it was the huge effort and countless hours that all the club members and volunteers put into making it a successful year for their teams, so congratulations to you all.

What a great year it’s been once again, and we look forward to seeing everyone back for an even more fun and successful 2020 campaign.

Casuarina will go into the grand final as underdogs, but they have a quiet confidence and strong belief that they can get the job done.

The club is encouraging all supporters to come along and support the Casuarina Baa Baas in their inaugural 1st grade grand final appearance.

Our Junior teams had mixed results over the weekend. The U13 team defeated Lismore 14 -10 and have progressed to the grand final as have our U15 girls 7s team.

Both teams will play this Friday night at Crozier park.

Two times premiers, our U15 team were knocked out of contention on Friday night losing a hard-fought game to Lennox Head 14-7.

Unfortunately, the undefeated U17 team went down in the grand final 13 - 10 to Casino / Evans Head.

In dramatic circumstances the

Casuarina U17 team scored a try in the dying minutes of the game to seemingly clinch victory. Based on a Touch Judge report the try was disallowed and a penalty was awarded to the opposition back on halfway.

This is the second time the team has gone through the regular season undefeated only to lose the last game!

By Brian Laybutt

THE CASUARINA Beach Barbarians Rugby team have won their preliminary final against Ballina and have advanced to the Far North Coast Rugby Union Grand Final to be held at Crozier Park, Lismore this Saturday, September 14.

Casuarina went into the preliminary final with a fullstrength team, knowing the encounter with Ballina was going to be a torrid affair.

Casuarina came out of the blocks quickly, scoring two tries and putting 14 points on the scoreboard within the first 20 minutes.

Ballina hit back and went into the second half trailing by two points 14 - 12.

In the second half the scores seesawed. Ballina scored twice and Casuarina responded with a try
