“She’d gone under twice when he grabbed her and pulled her onto his board,” he said.

“Then they were both trapped and getting smashed on the rocks.

“The east swell was holding them in that position where they were getting washed over the rocks and then back into the deep water behind it but then the waves kept pushing them back on the rocks.”

Mr Norton said he was on the headland talking to a friend when a man came up yelling for help. He said by the time he ran down and paddled to the woman and managed to get her on his board she wasn’t responding.

“It was scary. I had her on the board and she was just flopped there. She had nothing,” he said.

“She was so scared and wasn’t responding to me yelling at her and was just a dead weight on my board.

“I tried to paddle away from the shelf but couldn’t duck dive and got lifted up by a wave and landed flat on my back on the rocks with her on top of me and got tumbled and tumbled and we were at the mercy of the ocean,” he said.

“She was getting washed up the rocks and dragged back down and disappearing in the whitewater.

“By the end I was that battered up I could only hold her up.”

Fortunately another surfer, Chris Fogarty, saw what was happening and paddled in to help Mr Norton.

“Chris tried to swim with me holding my board but we got lifted up and put back on the rocks and we got pushed across the rocks a fair bit,” Mr Norton said.

Together they eventually managed to swim and paddle the woman away from

the rock shelf and finally washed around to the beach where they were joined by other locals and a nurse who assessed the woman’s condition.

“We put her in a recovery position and Justin called an ambulance,” Mr Norton said.

“She didn’t speak much English so Chris went back out in the surf to get his wife who spoke Japanese.

“Everyone took care of her on the beach. Justin was there, Ken Maynard, Craig Hunt and Steve Powell came down, the nurse and others - everyone was helping.”

The ambulance arrived and took the woman to hospital.

“I got battered up but not as badly as she was but I’ve texted her since then and she said she was at home and recovering okay,” Mr Norton said.

“A good thing that came out of it was the community involvement. Everyone came together to help and afterwards everyone was so supportive.

“The surf community has been great.

The first thing everyone asks is, ‘Are you okay?’.

“That concern is really good.”

Mr Norton, whose Neil Purchase Junior surfboard was destroyed during the rescue, said later that he reflected on his actions, wondering if he’d done the right thing.

“The fear on her face is what got me,” he said.

“I could see how scared she was.”

Mr Gane said that Mr Norton was a “reluctant hero”.

“He saved her life 100 per cent.”

The next day another surfer was washed over the back of the same rock shelf but miraculously received no injuries.

By Jo Kennett A GROUP of local surfers have rescued a stricken woman at Cabarita on Monday, February 18, who washed in on a rock shelf during a surging high tide.

Local resident Justin Gane was on the headland watching the surf at 8.30am when he noticed the woman on a surfboard about 150 metres off the headland.

“She was trying to paddle but she didn’t look very experienced, there was a lot of water moving around and even from a distance she looked a bit out of her depth,” he said.

“Then a big set came and just picked her up and she made it down the face, she was just lying down and riding prone in straight towards the rocks.

“I ran down the track and across the rocks because I could see she was going to be in trouble.”

Mr Gane said the woman would have been alright if she paddled away from the rocks north towards the beach but she didn’t seem to attempt to get away from them.

“The rock shelf is at a 45-degree angle like a ramp and it’s full of big barnacles,” he said.

“She was trying to come up over the rocks and I was yelling at her to go back.

“She went up over the shelf with a wave and then got sucked back into the deep water behind it but then a wave would come and in she would come again.

“It was like a washing machine and she got washed over and sucked back about 20 times and I didn’t think she was going to survive.”

Mr Gane said he was unable to reach the woman from the rocks.

“I was trying to reach her but I needed a rope even though she was probably too exhausted to grab on to it,” he said.

“I could only get within about two metres of her but I couldn’t get any closer because of the waves.

“She was just getting ragdolled and rolling around like a walrus and there were so many waves. She was exhausted.”

Mr Gane said the woman then took her legrope off and started sinking.

“I was in a situation where I was thinking I was going to have to go in but that would have put me in the same situation she was in and I didn’t have a board to put her on and she probably would have pulled me under too.

“I have three children and you think about these things but I was at the stage where I was going to have to go in.”

Just as the woman starting sinking Mr Gane saw his friend Richie Norton enter the ocean over the rocks to the south with his surfboard and paddle over to the back of the rock shelf.

Thank you for our Curlews

As the bird barriers have started to come down at Cudgera Park, Hastings Point, it is an opportune time to express thanks and congratulations to all those involved in the successful arrival of a beach stone-curlew chick.

A thank you to Tweed Shire Council for their proactive approach to erecting the fences to protect the breeding pair and their new chick.

The volunteer bird watchers who were obviously very diligent and protective of the birds and their surrounding environment and the general public who from all reports, were very respectful and understanding that the territory cordoned off would give the curlews the room needed for as peaceful as possible an existence in the middle of a very popular public space.

Even the dog owners who cherish time with their pets were mostly accepting of the dog free zone and understood that domestic and native animals don’t always get on well together.

We heard of a volunteer who at a change of bird watching shift looked after the pets of two visitors who arrived unaware of the dog restrictions.

After the tourists enjoyed their time in the park and creek, they collected their dogs from the volunteer’s home.

It’s thought there may only be two other breeding beach stone-curlew pairs in all of NSW to successfully raise a chick this season.

So, whilst the community can all feel some satisfaction in having a new chick grace our village, it beggars belief how these unique, wary and unthreatening birds could be critically endangered in NSW. Hopefully we can accommodate more breeding pairs in the future and increase the number of beach stonecurlew to join the pied oystercatcher chicks that arrived here late last year.

This has got me stumped

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Kingscliff is to get a new hospital on a site that has generated widespread controversy in the community.

The experts tell us that it had to be south of the Tweed River because of population growth projections.

Pottsville residents have for years lobbied to have a new high school built on land set aside for such a purpose, but Geoff Provest will tell you to your face that population projections don’t warrant the building of a new high school in the area. Confused?

Seems that the projections and experts have been cherry picked to suit whatever narrative the NSW coalition government is peddling at the time.

With promises coming quick and fast before the March election, it is almost an admission that things have to reach crisis point before they are ready to act, holding them back only to offer them as election sweeteners.

The hospital drama has been a long time in the making, and with Kingscliff High School close to capacity, it appears that the state government expects private schools (and parents) to shoulder the burden and will only do something when it is well past its do something date.

Kids Strike 4 Climate

Principals and teachers have threatened their pupils with punishment for striking for climate action.

I support school kids going on strike for climate change action and shame on educators and politicians who threaten children for expressing their views.

Please slow down for wildlife

While driving on Tyalgum Road on Friday, February 22, I witnessed several ibis on the road ahead with two cars fast approaching.

I mentally called ‘get off the road’ because I could see the cars were not slowing down to leave time for the large, slow moving birds to fly away.

They finally flew and it appeared they just made it but there must have been another ibis lower down that the car ahead smashed into as it was arching up to the sky.

It was violently catapulted into the air, feathers flying everywhere and landed on the other side of the road.

Horrified, I jumped out of the car to help but the bird had died.

Why can’t people slow down for just one second to give animals a chance to get off the road?

Do they not know that birds’ mate for life and the careless and uncaring act of killing its mate dooms the mate to a lonely life forever?

Perhaps they think animals don’t have feelings which is clearly untrue.

Anyone who has a dog or cat can see all kinds of emotions – joy, sadness, anger, fear, jealousy, love etc.

In past years I’ve seen more native roadkill strewn by the side of the road – bandicoots, possums, wallabies, snakes, water dragons.

These days I mainly see dead birds.

We are a nation that does not value our native animals and as a result have the world’s worst record for mammal extinctions, having lost 62 species to extinction (birds, mammals, frogs, reptile, insects – Wikipedia) since 1788.

Australia has 1800 species at risk of extinction right now.

Please don’t add to the carnage.

Comments on Relocate rally

I read in the TVW the article about the Relocate rally at Cudgen Leagues Club.

A staggering 250 people attended including a few political candidates trying win some points.

I strongly argue that 250 from a population of around 90,000 Tweed district residents is a fair representation of our wonderful shire.

This would indicate to me that the majority of Tweed district residents are happy with the location of the new hospital and just want it done.

There might be a few who don’t care, whichever way the hospital will be in the right place closer to the centre of the district to serve all people.

Darrell Watts, Tweed Heads

Is this a bribe or what?

Yesterday senior citizens of the Tweed Shire joined fellow seniors from both Barwon and Ballina electorates in receiving a personally addressed letter from their local National Party MPs. The letters announced that if you vote 1 for the National Party, you will receive a $250 seniors transport card.

A l a m i n at e d f a ke c a r d i s also enclosed, with small print underneath stating this is a sample card and is not redeemable for cash.

My dictionary defines bribery as the act of offering someone money or something valuable in order to persuade them to do something for you, therefore I believe that these letters can most likely be classed as bribes.

Section 326 of the Electoral Act states that a person cannot give or confer any property or benefit with the intention of influencing or affecting the way a person votes.

Perhaps the Nationals believe that promising something after they are voted in is not bribery, but in the opinion of the general public these letters are probably bribes.

Add to this the fact that if the Court of Disputed Returns finds that an elected candidate has committed or attempted to commit bribery, it must declare the election of the candidate void.

Thus a whole new scenario would emerge with possible court cases and costly by-elections having to be run, paid for once again by the taxpayers of Australia.

When the Premier of our state resorts to these tactics, is it any wonder that her party faithful believe it is perfectly okay to offer their own “election carrots”?

Barbara Roughan, Kingscliff

Will ED stay or will it go?

Last week the honourable Geoff Provest stated that the Emergency Department at the existing Tweed Hospital would remain open once the new Tweed Valley Hospital is operational.

Every Tweed Shire resident deserves to know if this is the truth, or another fabrication fed by a politician just one month out from an election?

In no other forum has this been stated, in fact every statement from NSW Health says that all services will transfer to the new hospital when completed.

The importance of maintaining a functioning Emergency Department cannot be overestimated.

We need to know the truth here, so please Mr Provest tell us whether your statement that the Emergency Department will remain open is the truth.

Chris Evans, Kingscliff

Don’t delay what’s vital

I’m disappointed that a minority of vocal Tweed residents and some sitting members of parliament are against the new hospital site.

I’m also wondering why these same residents and politicians have not been concerned about prime agricultural land being used for housing development a few kilometres up the road at Cudgen over the past few years.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s a very political issue, and hopefully the majority of Tweed residents won’t suffer from delays in the hospitals’ construction.

Most of Terranora was prime agricultural land, again building houses didn’t seem to worry people with that loss of land.

I see the hospital as being such a great asset to the Tweed Shire and I would hope that more supporters in favour of this site would put their hands up in support.

Employment in construction and ongoing jobs for our shire are winners.

Anne Byrne, Pottsville

Where is the ‘corruption’

I keep reading about ‘supposed corruption’ regarding the new hospital.

Ap p a re n t ly, t h e s u p p o s e d corruption starts with NSW Health Infrastructure personnel, moves to and sweeps up the independent professionals engaged to provide expertise on the project, including the site selection process, gobbles up any supporter of the new hospital and finally in a crescendo worthy of a Gilbert and Sullivan Opera picks up the current sitting member, NSW Minister for Health, the NSW Premier and NSW Deputy Premier and lumps them all into this wicked basket of supposed corruption.

Surprisingly, the NSW Treasury/ Finance personnel are missing in this basket, the ones that reviewed the business case for the new hospital, what a let down.

So how do we overcome all of this ‘cloak and dagger’ for the benefit of the residents of the entire Tweed/ Byron Local Government Areas regarding our new hospital?

I suggest the following course of action.

Would all of those people who believe supposed corruption exists and this includes paving the way to remove the State Significant Farmland classification from the rest of the Cudgen Plateau, please send all of the relevant irrefutable evidence you have to the address shown below. www.icac.nsw.gov.au/reportingcorruption/how-what-to-report Dot Holdom, Kingscliff

I love where we live too

Thank you, Dianne Robinson, for your letter about loving Murwillumbah.

I agree. As new residents, we moved here for all the reasons you mentioned.

It is a beautiful, friendly town in a stunning valley with a generous, caring, creative community.

We love the cafes, galleries, music, markets, festivals and shops and we rarely need to go outside town for services.

There are bad people everywhere; Murwillumbah has no more than anywhere else. We are so grateful to be living in this little paradise.

State Significant land sells next to proposed hospital

By Jo Kennett and Jonathon Howard A BLOCK of land next to the site chosen by the NSW government for the Tweed Valley Hospital has been sold to a Brisbane-based property development company for $4.51 million.

The Weekly attained publicly available records of the sale from the NSW Land Registry which states that owners Mary and Joe Agius sold the property to a company trading as IRBS 1 Pty Ltd on Tuesday, February 12, this year.

The deal was signed off by a Kingscliff solicitor on behalf of the buyer and witnessed by a Tweed Heads lawyer.

The 5.69 hectare block at 741 Cudgen Road was formerly the home of Earth and Colour Nursery and A&B Hydroponics, with Earth and Colour Nursery now located at 1/43 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South.

The site is bordered by Cudgen Road on the southern side Tweed Coast Road on the western boundary with the Cudgen traffic lights in the corner.

The site is classified as State Significant Farmland and zoned RU1.

Further investigations revealed that the company behind the purchase, formerly traded as Aspect Property Group, is a Brisbane-based apartment development company.

Aspect was the developer of multiple apartment blocks in Brisbane including Centra Apartments, 160 luxury apartments in a 15-storey building at 37 Archer Street, Toowong.

The company was embroiled in a stoush with a Gold Coast man in 2014 when he refused to sell his unit in a block of nine Rainbow Bay apartments that Aspect wanted to develop.

Aspect Property Group was winner of two Qld Housing Industry Association

(HIA) awards in 2012 and a national HIA award in 2013.

Aspect also built Unilodge, student accommodation at the University of Queensland.

The Weekly attempted to contact the company, who made the purchase, but no one was available to comment prior to the print deadline.

The Aspect Property Group website now links to IRBS which appears as a blank page.

News of the sale came as a shock to residents as well as Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, who told The Weekly he knew nothing about the sale.

“This is the first I’ve heard about the sale of this land when you called,” Mr Provest said.

“It’s difficult to say why the land was purchased as it is State Significant Farmland and will remain that way.”

Clean up Aussie Day

AT SEVENTY-FIVE Kathy Cherry, mother of Tweed Shire Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry, shows no signs of slowing down her passion for leading the way on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 3.

For the last 30 years she has organised a clean up of the Wooyung area, from Tweed Valley Way to the Wooyung Nature Reserve and has consistently had the most volunteers involved in community sites across the Tweed Shire.

“We may be a small community but we work together and each of us do our part,” she said.

“We have been doing it for so long now that most people know the area allocated to them and they simply sign up and go collecting.

“It’s always great camaraderie on the day and a good feeling to be part of the team.”

Despite having been involved in the national clean up day for over thirty years, Ms Cherry said she is still amazed at the variety of things that are found on the day.

“From car parts to dumped masonry, we see it all,” she said.

“Richo from Richo’s Landscaping always helps by picking up the big stuff we collect along the beach.”

While some things have remained the same, Ms Cherry said she is hoping that a recently introduced recycling scheme will have made an impact on reducing the amount of rubbish in the region.

“It will be really interesting this year to see if the container deposit scheme makes a big difference to the amount of rubbish we find. “ Kath Cherry’s daughter and Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said it is a family tradition she is honoured to be part of.

“I am incredibly proud of Mum, she is an inspiration to us all,” Cr Cherry said.

“I will be there on Sunday morning 8am, rain hail or shine.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Tweed Coast farms shattered by Cyclone Oma High Court rules tax debt can be passed to spouse during divorce Recently Australia’s High Court ruled that a tax debt of one spouse can be shifted to the other during a divorce property settlement.

Family lawyer with Stacks Law Firm, Ruth Whisker, says the decision could have enormous impact on property settlement proceedings.

“This decision could leave the richer spouse being forced to pay the debts of their former partner during a divorce-related property dispute,” Ms Whisker said.

The legal issue in the High Court case centred on whether the Family Court can give orders to government agencies – in this case the Tax Office – as part of the determination of a property dispute.

The case of Commissioner of Taxation v Tomaras last December arose from a divorce property dispute in which the wife, who had incurred a tax debt of $250,000 during the marriage, sought an order from the Federal Circuit Court that her husband – who was bankrupt – become solely liable for the tax debt.

Earlier the Full Court of the Family Court had said that under Section 90AE (1) of the Family Law Act, it had the power to order Commonwealth agencies to substitute one party in the relationship for another when it came to debts. The Tax Office appealed to the High Court.

The High Court wasn’t asked to make a decision on the facts of the subject case (ie whether the debt should be transferred to a bankrupt person), but was only asked to decide a question of law – whether an order could be made under the Family Law Act to alter ownership of a debt owed to the Commonwealth.

In its decision the High Court said a substitution order should only be made where it is “just and equitable to do so” but not if it is foreseeable that the order would result in the debt not being paid in full.

“In light of the High Court’s decision it is unlikely Ms Tomaras will get her substitution order, as her husband is bankrupt and the debt wouldn’t be repaid if the husband was substituted for the wife,” Ms Whisker said.

“However, this decision will now apply to all applications for a substitution order for one spouse to pass on to their partner their tax and other Commonwealth debts, such as a debt to Centrelink, and it highlights how important it is to get good legal advice on family law before starting divorce proceedings.

“Spouses need to be aware that under the law they may have their partner’s tax debts and other financial liabilities transferred to them.

By Jo Kennett GALE FORCE winds from Cyclone Oma have caused hundreds-ofthousands-of-dollars worth of damage to crops across the Tweed Coast.

The winds at their peak reached 100km per hour (54 knots) flattening banana crops and destroying hundreds of young avocado trees on the Cudgen plateau.

Anderson Horticulture General Manager Daniel Abby said that the winds had caused about $60,000 worth of damage at the avocado nursery.

“We are guessing we’ve lost one or two thousand trees from the nursery because the grafts snapped off,” he said.

“All the shade cloth ripped and blew down and we had staff in all weekend repairing the damage but we don’t know the full extent.

“The trees were worth at least $40,000 and shade cloth was about $20,000.”

Mr Abby said there was a long waiting list for the avocado plants.

“We’ve had customers that have waited two years for their trees and now I have to ring them and tell them what’s happened,” he told The Weekly.

“It was all the newly planted grafts we lost and that just pushes everyone back in the waiting list now.”

President of the Tweed Banana Growers Association Colin Singh leases 35 acres on Reardons Road, Cudgen, of which 30 acres is bananas.

Mr Singh told The Weekly he has lost 95 per cent of his Cavendish bunches.

“I’m away but Dad went down on Friday to see if they could tie them up more and the wind was blowing that

strong it was blowing them off the ladder so they had to get out,” he said.

“We had big heavy bunches and the gusts blew the trees on an angle and that’s what kept snapping them.

Mr Singh said he had lost 95 per cent of his Cavendish plants which snapped in the wind.

“I would have lost about 25,000 cartons which are worth $40 each now but could be $20 in a couple of months,” he said.

“At $20 that’s half a million dollars.”

The fourth-generation banana farmer said his lady fingers “didn’t get touched.”

“They can hold the wind but they can be more susceptible to Panama Disease so I only planted five acres,” he said.

“I lost all my crop during Cyclone Debbie in 2017 because there was a lot more rain and the winds twisted around.

“I tried to get insurance last year but no one much does it and I sent away for quotes but didn’t hear back.”

Mr Singh said the price of bananas had risen last year after the Cyclone Debbie hit which “saved” him.

“We were making some money and could pay our bills and this year was looking really good. It was full of fruit and they were big, healthy plants,” he said.

“I think my Dad is even more upset than I am. He has an earthmoving business now but is still really passionate about bananas and grows good quality and he helps me out a lot.

“I’m really lucky that I also have a couple of friends, Andrew Barnes and Jason Thompson, who have come and given me a hand to help clean up.”

“All we can do is pick a bit of fruit up off the ground and then pray that we don’t get another one.”

Despite the setback Mr Singh said he had no plans of giving up growing bananas.

“The quality is really good being close to the coast. We have nice coloured fruit and the supermarkets chase it,” he said.

“It’s a passion - an expensive hobby as one bloke said - but as long as it pays the bills you’re happy.

“Sometimes you want to walk away from it but when the banana sap runs through your veins you can’t.”

Colin Singh had already lost his whole crop during Cyclone Debbie before Oma struck last week

Upcoming student strike could risk disciplinary action A SPOKESPERSON from the NSW Department of Education has told The Weekly that any students considering taking part in the School Strike for Climate Change on Friday, March 15, at 1pm in Knox Park, should be aware that they may risk disciplinary action.

“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,” a spokesperson from the NSW Department of Education told The Weekly.

The Department Spokesperson indicated it was not the place of schools to take a position in regards to climate change.

“NSW public schools are neutral places for rational discourse and objective study,” the spokesperson said.

“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 upcoming strike is the second to be held in Murwillumbah and follows on from a global student movement which started in Europe when 16-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg took a lone stand and protested against climate change outside Sweden’s parliament.

Murwillumbah students have already staged one protest calling for vital change to address climate change with dozens of students taking part.

Residents also voiced their support for the student’s right to protest

Have your say on how the Tweed’s rural landscape might change over the coming 20 years.

Have another say on Tweed’s rural land The Draft Tweed Rural Land Strategy is being re-exhibited for public comment following a number of proposed changes.

Community Conversations will be held on Wednesday 6 March to allow members of the public to talk through the amendments with Council planners.

The draft strategy was originally exhibited from 7 November 2017 to 28 February 2018.

Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said the aim of the strategy was to paint a picture of what rural land in Tweed Shire may look like in 20 years, how it might develop and how it will be managed to preserve the quality of the rural Tweed lifestyle.

“We encourage people to come along to a Community Conversation and talk face-to-face about their issues and suggestions,” he said.

The two Community Conversations on Wednesday 6 March will be at the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre Auditorium in Tumbulgum Road from 1pm to 2.30pm and 6pm to 7.30pm.

The Draft Rural Land Strategy can be viewed on Council’s website at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/onexhibition and hard copies are available at Uki General Store, Tyalgum Store, Chillingham Village Store, Murwillumbah Civic Centre, Tweed Heads Civic Centre, Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre and Kingscliff Library.

There is more information on the proposed amendments and a survey at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/re-exhibitionRLS Submissions on the Draft Rural Land Strategy must be made in writing and received by Council no later than close of business on Tuesday 19 March 2019.

Submissions can be made via the Your Say Tweed project page, emailed to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au or mailed to Draft Rural Land Strategy, General Manager, Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah NSW 2484.

Anyone needing more information can call Council’s Strategic Planning & Urban Design Unit on (02) 6670 2503.

One of the convoy of trucks making its way across the Murwillumbah Bridge, bound for the construction site of the new Byrrill Creek bridge near Uki.

10-4 Rubber Duck, looks like we got us a convoy A convoy of heavy trucks passed through Murwillumbah last Friday, carrying large pre-stressed concrete beams to support the deck of the new Byrrill Creek Bridge.

The seven trucks each carried one deck unit, with each being 22.5 metres long and weighing 20.5 tonne, from the manufacturing plant in Brisbane.

The Byrrill Creek Bridge build is now the only job left of the original

1500 items in Tweed’s $25 million road flood recovery program following Tropical Cyclone Debbie in March 2017.

The second delivery of deck units will occur around the middle of next month.

The Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development has provided $2.17 million under its Bridges Renewal Program towards the cost of the new bridge.

Need information? Head to the Emergency Dashboard Council’s new online Emergency Dashboard was actively used for the first time during last week’s wild weather.

There were than 2500 unique visits to the dashboard in the first 24 hours, as residents sought information about local effects of Cyclone Oma. Council’s General Manager Troy Green said one of the key lessons from the March 2017 flood was the need for an improved online solution to support the Tweed community during emergencies.

The Emergency Dashboard includes the current status for weather warnings, road closures, power outages, water and sewer interruptions, and Council services and facilities, along with links to many other useful resources to help with planning for an emergency and what to do after.

“The Emergency Dashboard (https://emergency.tweed.nsw.gov.au) provides up-to-date information, useful links and contacts in the event of an emergency. It is linked to our website and is available 24/7,” Mr Green said.

“However it is important to note that unlike on the Gold Coast, Tweed Shire Council is not the main agency in an emergency – it’s the SES on 132 500,” Mr Green said.

Residents are reminded that ABC North Coast radio is the emergency broadcaster. For updates, tune in on 94.5 FM, 720 AM or listen online at www.abc.net.au/northcoast To view the dashboard, go to emergency.tweed.nsw.gov.au

The above Facebook post shows how dangerous swimming at the unpatrolled Dreamtime Beach can be (it’s the beach south of Fingal Head). Due to the rough surf conditions and strong rips – it’s recommended that there is no swimming at Dreamtime Beach.

It's always best to swim at a patrolled beach – find out more at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Beaches. There is an emergency response beach on the northern end of Dreamtime next to the beach access.

All it requires is the touch of the button to alert Surf Life Saving NSW for them to attend.

Worst weeds of the Tweed Tweed Landcare Inc. together with Rous County Council and Tweed Shire Council are hosting a free weeds workshop at the Uki Hall on Thursday 7 March from 9.30am to 1pm.

The workshop will cover recent changes to legislation and landowner responsibilities under the new Biosecurity Act 2015. A central concept in the new legislation is the ‘General Biosecurity Duty: all land managers, public and private, have a responsibility to prevent, eliminate or minimise the weed biosecurity risk on their property’.

Rous County Council, the local weed control authority, will present priority weeds under the North Coast Strategic Weed Management Plan. The plan provides specific guidance on state and regional priority weeds as well as a further group of important weeds which pose a biosecurity risk on a local scale.

Tweed Landcare Inc. will profile the worst environmental and agricultural weeds in the Tweed Shire that impact on natural areas and farm productivity. Tropical Soda Apple is one such priority weed and an update on control programs will be presented.

Grazing land managers will also be interested to hear a presentation

by Local Land Services District Veterinarian Phil Kemsley on poisonous weeds for stock.

A range of common and priority weeds will be on display, and participants are encouraged to bring along plant samples for identification. Morning tea and lunch will be provided and there will be time for open discussion.

Please register for the event via www.trybooking.com/book/ event?eid=471497& For more information contact Kim Stephan, Tweed Landcare Project Officer on (02) 6670 2199 or projects@tweedlandcare.org.au

Before and after views of the Queen Street toilet block.

Toilet restoration that’s fit for a Queen Heritage restoration and conservation works on the decommissioned Queen Street toilet block building in Murwillumbah are nearing completion.

The building is a local heritage item and the project – which saw necessary physical repairs and external restoration – hopes to promote awareness and appreciation of its heritage value.

This includes the interesting period architectural features such as the zigzag balustrade, the ‘crazy paving’ rock wall and the curved front wall with glass bricks.

Work began in late December and has included repairing and sealing the damaged roof, replacing damaged or missing downpipes, repair and patching of the brickwork, repair to the timber window frames, replacement of the glass louvered window panes, installation

of heavy duty doors with locks and cleaning and repainting the external elements with the original colours.

The project was funded by the NSW Government through their Heritage Near Me grants program, which provides funding opportunities for the restoration, conservation and management of local heritage items.

Unfortunately the building can no longer be used as a public amenities facility as it does not meet present day building code and access standards.

There is potential for it to be re-purposed in a variety of ways and future funding may be able to meet the costs of upgrades which are needed to achieve compliance for public or commercial use.

Fuel and oil warning More toilet news ...

Did you know you could be contaminating your drinking water supply if you spill fuel or heating oil near an underground water service line?

That’s because most of today’s water service lines are polyethylene, which petroleum products and other solvents can leach through to contaminate the water inside.

Just six weeks into 2019, three water customers have complained to Council that their drinking water tastes like petrol. On investigation, it has been found that mechanical work has been done in the yards near the underground water supply pipes.

Spilt fuels contaminate soil and can take days, weeks or even months to travel through polyethylene pipe and affect the taste of drinking water.

The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines have very low health limits (<0.001mg/L) for compounds such as Benzene, Toluene and Xylene, which are found in petroleum products.

“Fortunately, most customers detect petrol odour and taste at very low levels and complain before it affects their health,” Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said.

To fix a fuel contaminated water issue, the water service line may need to be replaced and the contaminated soil removed. Both would be at the expense of the property owner.

“While this is the property owner’s responsibility, we want them to call us first so our environmental health officers can provide them with the right advice about treating the contamination area,” Mr Burnham said.

The old toilet block in Knox Park (Brisbane Street) in Murwillumbah is set to be to be demolished early next month.

This follows last year’s demolition of the Nullum Street toilet block on the other side of the park.

The buildings have been superseded by a new amenities block in a central location in the park, completed in December last year, which is surrounded by attractive landscaping and linking pathways.

The new amenities block is the first stage of the town’s new Art and Heritage Precinct.

The Art and Heritage Precinct project includes: • upgrades to Knox Park including the new toilet block, construction of an entry plaza, a new bus shelter and other works • the creation of the Caldera Wall at the Tweed Regional Museum which will focus on the region’s natural history • restoration of the Treasure of the Tweed public mural along Commercial Road • the development of a phone app consolidating all of the art and heritage information of Murwillumbah.

The project will activate Knox Park, increasing visitation by locals and tourists, boosting economic activity in the Murwillumbah CBD and creating jobs for locals.

Council was awarded $887,000 in Restart NSW funding under the Regional Growth – Environment and Tourism Fund and is also contributing $617,000 to the overall project.

Foster parent shares her experience

By Jonathon Howard AS DEBATE continues around recent changes to foster carer legislation, a Tweed resident, who prefers not to be named, has provided her experience with fostering an Indigenous child and some of the challenges she faced attempting to adopt the child.

The resident wrote to The Weekly following a report titled “fears child protection laws could reintroduce stolen generation” (TVW January 31 Page 5), which has sparked a widespread debate about child protection and a child’s connection to cultural heritage.

The article focused on the concerns from Dharug woman Janette Saunders, who said she is devastated by the passing of a new law which enables children in foster care to be adopted without the consent of their birth parents.

The article prompted a wide-reaching response from residents including a Tweed Shire family who in recent years were foster parents of a boy with an Aboriginal background.

This is a two part story, with the second part set to run in next week’s edition.

“In the short time he was with us he loved us dearly and repeatedly begged supervisors to have us as his parents permanently,” she said.

“We had offered to adopt him (this occurred about three years ago before this new law) but were rejected because we could not prove Aboriginality in my husband’s family and mine had none.

“He had little concept of Aboriginal culture or history, so we started teaching the young boy in our care everything possible, giving him pride in his heritage

and taking him to meet Aboriginal elders at Indigenous education centres.”

The resident, whose name and specific details have been withheld, said foster organisations had encouraged “deep passion” to broadly and appropriately educate children in their care.

“Whatever their background, and the foster parents we met from our experience displayed this kind of common sense,” she said.

“That was not considered good enough, we were told adoption might eventually happen but there was no guarantee – even if we cared for him for years.

“He could be taken from us at any time if a relative popped up out of the woodwork.

“And if no relatives popped up, we could not adopt until about six levels of cascading Aboriginal placement options could not be satisfied, each of which could take a very long time.”

The woman said despite helping this “damaged boy” to learn to read, write, count to ten, at the age of 10, and to cope socially and emotionally with life after arriving incoherent, “we were viewed as white, therefore inadequate in the eyes of the law, and therefore temporary carers”.

“Supervisors shared with us that Aboriginal kids – due to a shortage of Aboriginal carers – could end up in as many as ten foster homes in as many years because people like us with the enormous patience needed, could not simply adopt,” she said.

“There were no relatives in the Northern Rivers or Queensland, from where he may have been rescued, all we were told was that he was made a permanent ward of the state when taken away which to our knowledge means a

court had found that his past biological carer(s) were considered impossible to rehabilitate or had committed alleged crimes.

“Yet, there was a possibility (at any time) that he might be found a relative as far away as Sydney or interstate - we were warned.

“His autistic and hyperactive tendencies were soothed by the active lifestyle of coastal living, he thrived fishing and surfing with us, participating in Nippers, competed enthusiastically in swimming carnivals, which we paid for.

“And to achieve that we had to first teach him to swim for the first time at age 10, which he adored even if clumsy, such was his love for his new life skills.

“He began to play by the rules with friends at school after we taught him how to talk to others and loved playing cricket and hand-ball with new friends.

“This was after we taught him how to return a ball, for the first time, and had introduced him to full-time school attendance for the first time in his life with the help of fantastic teachers at the local school.

“So, a shift to an unrelated Aboriginal family in the big city would have been extremely unsettling.”

The carer said an Aboriginal ‘kin’ woman had offered to take the boy to Sydney but there were issues due to one of her older teenager’s foster children.

“Despite that, we were told that such placements would continue to be explored before we were ever given a more secure chance to adopt in the future,” she said.

Continue reading next week for part two of the foster parent story.

ITV give funds for new goals

IN 2018 the Murwillumbah Football Club won an ITV Tweed Community Initiative Fund grant for $4,990.

The grant will allow the club to build two new sets of goals for both the Miniroos and Juniors.

“We’ll be getting the new goals fabricated locally which is a further bonus as it means the money stays within the community,” MFC Miniroos Coaching Director Justin Twohill said.

“The new goals will be lighter and made from aluminium to replace the old steel ones which were damaged, heavy and posed a risk of injury.”

Murwillumbah Football Club is a community-oriented sports club that has supported the Tweed community’s connection with football since 1954.

The club is run and administered by volunteers and it currently accommodates both male and female players ranging in age from four to 73 years old.

In 2018 MFC provided a positive, healthy outlet for over 120 children aged four to eleven, up to 100 players aged 12 to 18 year old’s, and more than 250 adults.

Kids from all different backgrounds, different schools and villages within the Tweed are united by the club.

“We have a particular focus on juniors, their progress can be observed throughout the season, kids who could barely kick a ball when they start, go on to score their first goal etc,” Mr Twohill said.

“Not only do skills develop, but a sense of being part of a team and the understanding that the sum is greater than its parts.

“It is a supportive and inclusive club providing both competitive and friendly social interaction for the Tweed Community - sport can empower and unite community, enhancing the lifestyle and wellbeing of all.”

Justine Elliot slams state government Rotarians welcome our US friends

By Jonathon Howard FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot MP has delivered a stirring speech in parliament criticising the NSW Government for their decision to build the hospital on State Significant Farmland and described the Berejikllian Government as “reckless and arrogant”.

Mr Elliot’s speech highlighted that the March 23 state election will be a referendum on healthcare for the Tweed Shire and emphasised that it’s “not too late to save Cudgen and Kingscliff from the Nationals and their developer mates”.

“Geoff Provest (MP) and the Nationals want to impose a nine-storey hospital on state significant farmland at Cudgen, but NSW Labor stands with the community in opposing this massive overdevelopment,” she said.

“Instead, Labor will build a new hospital at Kings Forest better, faster and on budget.

“The NSW Liberals and Nationals should be ashamed of themselves.

“They’re behaving like cowboys, threatening local community groups and flouting Commonwealth laws, whilst Nationals MP Geoff Provest persists with his betrayal, lies and misinformation.”

Mrs Elliot said the Nationals were “not representing our community, and it’s so clear that, under the Nationals, you don’t count”.

“But, under Labor, you do count,” she said.

“This state election is all about priorities.

“Labor stands with the community in opposing this massive overdevelopment, and New South Wales Labor will build a new hospital at Kings Forest better, faster and on budget plus keep the current Tweed Hospital in public hands for ongoing health and community services.”

Mrs Elliot said The Nationals’ recent claim around free parking at the new Tweed Valley Hospital is “untrue”.

“The EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) clearly outlines a car parking management plan which includes boom gate access,

structured fees for various time periods, multiple payment methods and plans to operate this parking system 24-hours a day, seven days a week,” she said.

“The NSW Liberals and Nationals and Health Infrastructure have underestimated our community’s capacity to unite against this most unfair decision.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest hit back at Mrs Elliot’s comments calling them “false”.

“Justine’s comments about the hospital are completely false, this has been proven time and time again, yet she insists on spreading lies,” Mr Provest said.

“Under Labor, the plans for the new Tweed Valley Hospital will be scrapped, they will have to start from scratch, and every single piece of advice has told them that it will be delivered years later, cost more money and will likely cost lives.

“Petty politics has no place in planning for our health services.

“Enough is enough. The Tweed deserves a hospital and it a deserves a hospital now.

“This community will fight Labor’s delay plans every step of the way.”

Federal Member for Richmond Justine Elliot

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Rotarians recently played host to ten special guest Rotarians visiting from Wisconsin in the USA. The friendship visit was part of a reciprocal arrangement which will see twelve Australian Rotarians and their partners visit Wisconsin in July this year.

Banora-Tweed Rotarian Charles Warrell told The Weekly that the visit was a great opportunity to learn more about the organisation that provides 16-millionvolunteer hours globally for a wide variety of projects that promote peace, support education, supply clean water, fight disease and help to grow local economies.

“We just try and help people locally, nationally and internationally who are worse off than ourselves,” Mr Warrell said.

“The Rotary friendship exchange is just one of the ways we can go and spend time with other Rotarians.

“I have been on five friendship visits myself, one to England, two to America and two to Taiwan.

“We have clubs in 220 countries so we can travel anywhere in the world and stay with Rotarians so it’s a wonderful thing to belong to.”

The American visitors have been hosted by local families with the aim of promoting peace through cultural understanding and friendship.

“They’ve had a really good time, the hospitality they have received is very good.

“As part of the trip they do a presentation about their district and their geographical area and Wisconscin is famous for growing cranberries, so we’ve learnt a lot about the cranberry industry.”

While in the Tweed the Americans have visited the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Tweed Regional Art Gallery and the Madura Tea Plantation.

As part of their visit they will also be hosted

by Rotarians in Lismore, Casino, Grafton and the Gold Coast.

Mr Warrell said the visits were not only a good opportunity to meet like-minded people but it also helped to give local volunteers ideas for raising additional funds.

“You not only get some new ideas for fundraising, but you also have the opportunity to associate with other Rotary clubs that can partner with you and help you with fundraising for a particular project,” he said.

“Globally there are some clubs that have mammoth amounts of funding reserves that they can put into projects.

“I know of one club in America that has been so successful at fundraising that they have $18 million in reserve and another that has $13 million and they just keep raising more money and they need good projects to spend their revenue on.”

Throughout the next 12 months, Mr Warrell said the Tweed Rotary Friendship Exchange teams would also be hosting visitors from Seattle, Vancouver Island, India and Brazil.

Mr Warrell said that new members are always welcome and can participate in hosting as well as the other Rotary programs.

The Banora-Tweed Rotary club meets every fortnight at the South Tweed Sports Club and there are also three Rotary clubs meeting regularly in Murwillumbah.

Labor has officially launched its North Coast campaign

Big turn out for Labor North Coast launch Mr Daley also promised there would be no further privatisation under a Labor government.

Deputy Leader Penny Sharp said a Daley government “would begin negotiations on a treaty with our First Nation people”.

“We will stop the Narrabri coal seam gas project,” Ms Sharp said.

“We will act to save the Darling River and Menindee Lakes.”

Craig Elliot was introduced by Mr Daley.

“Recently in a spectacular manner he helped apprehend three suspects in a cross-border police chase,” Mr Daley said.

Janelle Saffin said she loved having Mr Daley as the party leader.

“Michael you have a great team,” she said.

“Labor will govern for all not just their corporate mates - will have policies for all.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said “Labor’s complete disregard for the Tweed community shows their arrogance heading into the State election on March 23”.

“The Tweed community has been left with no new commitments from the Labor Party following their launch in Tweed Heads today, raising questions over their interest in the local community,” Mr Provest said.

“To come all the way to the Tweed to make your pitch to the community, only to commit nothing, shows Labor has no plan for our future.”

“This is a promise to the community that we have been upholding for a very long time,” she said.

Mayor Milne thanked council staff for “consistently supporting council on this one”.

“It was a flag-raising position for council to have brought down,” she said.

“I wouldn’t have any fears if the developer challenged that.”

Council officers recommended to refuse the Review of Determination and the motion was carried unanimously.

Illegal Dumping

Cr Cherry said that there was a big problem with illegal dumping in the Tweed Shire that required a “good community education program”.

Cr Cherry said there were two areas where locals were “at their wits end” with illegal dumping and The Director of Natural Resources Tracey Stinson said she could see no reason why those areas could not be included in the pilot surveillance program.

Mayor Milne asked the director if there was a correlation between changes to kerbside pickup and illegal dumping.

The director said the dial-up service had improved the concentration of illegal dumping in the hot spots.

Cr Pryce said he had people request a token system to take rubbish to the tip for no charge.

Ms Stinson said that was investigated in other locations but required too much administration.

Council voted unanimously to put the Draft Illegal Dumping Strategy 2019-2021 on public exhibition.

By Jo Kennett HUNDREDS OF excited Labor Party supporters were at South Tweed Sports Club to greet the big red bus as NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley arrived in town for the North Coast Campaign Launch.

It was a veritable who’s who of NSW Labor which included Deputy Leader Penny Sharp, Shadow Minister for Energy Adam Searle, Shadow Health Minister Walt Secord, Shadow Minister for Primary Industries Mick Veitch, Shadow Treasurer Ryan Park, Shadow Minister for Music and the Night Time Economy John Graham and the five North Coast Labor candidates including Craig Elliot (Tweed) and Janelle Saffin (Lismore).

Staff from the Tweed Hospital greeted Mr Daley as he stepped off the bus where the opposition leader discussed the nursing ratios which the Nurses and Midwives Association has long been pushing for.

Mr Elliot introduced Mr Daley who arrived to rapturous applause.

“We will keep fighting for every minute of the next 26 days,” he said.

“After eight long years of overpromising and under-delivering it is now time to boot the National Party out.

“If you elect me I will lead a government that will become the first to mandate nursepatient ratios.”

LEARN TO Sky Dive approached Council last year seeking approval to load planes at the Gold Coast Airport, drop them over the Murwillumbah Racecourse and then land the plane at Murwillumbah Airfield to reload, with five loads of five skydivers a day and operations restricted to 9am to 6pm seven days a week.

Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green said the airfield does not break even so it would help to make it more viable in the future and might generate up to $400,000 a year.

Cr Warren Polglase spoke in favour of approval stating that “council has lazy assets and the airfield is one of them”.

Cr Chris Cherry and Mayor Katie Milne spoke of the safety concerns raised by existing users of the airfield “including numerous experienced pilots”.

It was voted 6:1 to seek further advice on those concerns from Air Services Australia before deciding.

Cr Polglase voted against the motion.

NATIONALS CANDIDATE for Lismore Austin Curtin officially launched his election campaign on Thursday, February 21, 18 months since the Tregeagle macadamia farmer was preselected as the NSW Nationals Candidate for Lismore for the 2019 state election.

Mr Curtin was joined by more than 200 supporters at Lismore City Hall and said the campaign experience so far has only “strengthened his love for Lismore and his drive to continue to fight for the community”.

“I have listened to their priorities and they have formed the basis of this campaign,” he said.

“I am passionate to address the issues that affect our region; lack of business confidence, more frontline health workers and the need for safer roads and bridges.”

Mr Curtin reiterated his top priorities should he be elected as the local member, including working with local councils to fix roads and timber bridges; getting diggers in the ground to start flood-proofing Lismore; delivering top-quality schools, hospitals, sporting fields and job-creating infrastructure; keeping his ear to the ground and working with constituents to grow jobs, educate future generations, and secure a stable and prosperous future for the region; and, striking the right balance between environment and industry, ensuring the raw and natural beauty of the Northern Rivers is preserved.

Mr Curtin also took the opportunity to slam his election opponents, saying they are, “all talk”.

“The difference between my opponents and I is that I’m not a career politician,” he said.

“Parliament doesn’t need politicians who know how to create more laws, they need strong advocates for their community and someone who is in the trenches, standing side-by-side with residents and businesses.

“I’m a family man and a farmer, with a positive vision for our community.

“I know how important it is to put our region first and fight hard, and I need your support for this to happen.”

“When Labor was in charge of our regional roads, Michael Daley dumped $477 million worth of regional roads onto local councils, knowing many didn’t have the rate base to fund basic maintenance,” Mr Provest said.

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest has continued his suite of announcements for the Tweed Electorate this week with a special visit from the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Melinda Pavey.

Mrs Pavey joined Mr Provest in announcing $1.8 million to support the local Tweed marine community, with a rebuild of the Tweed slipway.

Mrs Pavey said a new 50-tonne boatlift will be built and improvements will be carried out to the existing boat maintenance facility using funding provided under the NSW Government’s Boating Now program.

“A full site upgrade and redesign will deliver improved safety and environmental outcomes and improve the overall operational efficiency of the facility,” Mrs Pavey said.

“These improvements will include an upgrade of the facility’s waste water treatment and pollution capture equipment and capabilities.

“Replacing the existing rails and cradle mechanism with a modern boat lift will provide increased opportunities for local marine businesses to expand their services to lift larger vessels for repairs or launching.”

Mr Provest said designs, technical plans and environmental assessments for the Tweed slipway upgrade are expected to be completed by the middle of the year, followed by a tender call for qualified contractors.

“A contract will then be awarded, with work starting by late 2019 and completion by mid2020, weather permitting,” he said.

In further news, Mrs Pavey and Mr Provest announced roads such as Tweed Valley Way, Pottsville Road and Tweed Coast Road will have the opportunity to be reclaimed by a re-elected NSW Nationals.

“We’ve listened to our local councils, communities and stakeholders and we are transferring up to 15,000km of council roads in regional NSW,” Mrs Pavey said.

Miniature trains seek new site

Ron Shepard with members of the Sunnyside Meats team

Ron is loving his Sunnyside Meats job at 94

By Jonathon Howard HARD-WORKING local legend Ron Shepherd may be turning 95 this year, but he’s still loving his part-time job as a butcher at Sunnyside Meats and has no intention of retiring.

While many people opt for retirement almost three decades before turning Ron’s age, he told The Weekly that he has developed a passion for his work and the social benefits.

“I keep working so I can keep talking to the girls,” he said with a smile.

“It’s all about having a nice conversation with people and the staff here are great to work with.”

Sunnyside Meats employees pick up Ron for work each morning from Greenhills Lodge and kindly drop him off each day at around noon.

“They’re great, but it’s really about meeting people and especially local girls,” he said.

A World War II and Korean War veteran, Ron is a man with many stories to tell and has worked as a butcher for most of his life.

But a recent stroke has slowed Ron’s speech down with his Sunnyside Meats work helping to keep his spirits high.

“I’ve been working as a butcher for many years, I’ve been lucky with my health so far, but my feet are a bit buggered,” he said.

When asked why Ron keeps working at 94, he explained it was an active environment that keeps him active.

“I enjoy the working environment, it’s something that keeps me going,” he said.

Fellow employees and Sunnyside Meats owner Todd Shadbolt spoke highly of Ron.

“It’s great to have Ron around,” Todd said.

“He enjoys interacting with customers and it keep that glint in his eyes.”

Mr Shadbolt said he has known Ron since he was about 15.

“He’s a pleasure having him at Sunnyside Meats and he just keeps getting stronger and stronger,” he said.

“Up until his 90th birthday he was still living independently, but after he had the stroke he slowed down a lot, but I think the shop helps keep him active.

“It’s great having him here.

“Never lost the ability to swear but lost some other things after the stroke.”

Ron was one of the first Australian troops in Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima and prior to his stroke spoke fluent Japanese.

Anyone wanting to say hello to Ron can find him most weekday mornings.

AFTER MORE than 25 years the Tweed Valley Miniature Steam Railway Club will relocate from its Tropical Fruit World base to a new destination in 2019.

It is unknown where the Miniature Steam Railway Club will be moving and a site is yet to be announced.

The railway enthusiasts meet regularly to share their passion for locomotives, railways and engineering by meticulously handbuilding custom replicas of history’s great steam trains.

A great deal of expertise and hard work goes into every model.

“Members all have a love of railways,” Miniature Steam Railway Club secretary John Drew said.

“It’s a lot of hard work and effort with more than 2,000 hours can be spent building a locomotive by hand.”

The trains are scaled to suit the miniature track which is currently set in bushland reserve on the grounds at Tropical Fruit World in Duranbah.

For more than 25 years, Tropical Fruit World has hosted a workspace and recreational area for members from as far afield as Esk in Queensland and Maclean in NSW. The club in turn helped to service and maintain the extensive system of track.

Tropical Fruit World’s focus on inspiring people with nature will see a regeneration of the forest area currently occupied by the miniature train track.

Native bush tucker gardens will be enhanced, creating more habitat for the many species of native wildlife which call the farm home and enjoy feasting on the fruits that grow there year round.

They are working together to assist the Tweed Valley Miniature Steam Railway to find and relocate to a suitable alternative site for a workshop and track.

New Tweed app to bolster live music

By Megan Albany DESPITE HAVING dozens of musician friends, who were desperate for gigs, Tweed Shire entrepreneur Chris Tuohy was surprised by how difficult it was to find and book a muso when he needed one.

Two years ago when Mr Tuohy and his future wife Meme Tuohy were looking for entertainment for their engagement party, little did they know that their difficult search would end up becoming the launch pad for a brand new business.

“I’ve always thought that live music is harder to find than it should be and what confirmed that for me was when I was trying to find musos and I could only find one or two in our region when I tried searching Google and Gumtree,” he said.

“I thought that was such a shame, especially since we have so many amazing musos in our region.

“Gigl was designed to bridge that gap in the industry.”

The business, which started in the Tweed almost two years ago, is now set to launch and will make life a whole lot easier for musicians, venues and music audiences according to Mr Tuohy.

“Gigl combines a website with an app that has taken two years to develop to help make it easier for the general public and venues to book musicians,” he said.

“It also has a gig guide for what’s on in the local area.”

The website and the soon to be launched app will cover from Helensvale on the Gold Coast down to Byron Bay with intentions to take the service nationally.

Mr Tuohy said that while some platforms such as AirBnB and Eventbrite currently list events, these were not comprehensive, localised or easily searchable.

“You could get lucky and find an event on Eventbrite or Facebook but a lot of time gigs get lost and it’s not as comprehensive as Gigl, where you know you are going to find some type of live music within your area.

“That’s why we set out to develop an application where you would be able to search

a database based on price, availability, location and genre,” Mr Tuohy said.

“In the existing system if you were to google what’s on between Helensvale and Byron Bay you would only find around 60 gigs a month.

“If instead of googling, you were to look on Gigl you’d realise you are missing a lot of the gigs taking place as we’re already uploading between 150 to 250 gigs per month.”

Mr Tuohy who works full-time as an aviation recruitment specialist, said that developing the app was not easy, especially as he had no prior experience in app development.

“I’m not a coder by any means and neither is my wife,” he laughed.

“We were lucky to find a couple of local coders that we’ve been working with.

“They’re really smart guys and they are working on getting some really interesting features developed that we will continue to roll out as we go along.

“We’re hoping to see the first gig booked through the platform within a month of launching the booking site.

“Once people realise how easy it is to book and find live music we are hoping that will just speak for itself.”

There are currently 122 artists on the Gigl system and 74 venues.

“That’s growing every day and the more artists and venues we have on board the easier it will be for them to find each other.”

Mr Tuohy said musicians can set up a profile in a couple of minutes with links to their social media platforms such as Spotify, YouTube and Instagram.

“It will also have a calendar of availability so venues can see who is available and quickly assess the type of musician they want for their event.”

For lovers of music, Mr Tuohy said Gigl will make planning and booking entertainment easier.

“The app will offer free to access our searchable gig guide and allows you to save gigs and share them with your friends.

“You can also buy tickets directly through the app.”

Alan’s ready for World’s Greatest Shave

A young curlew chick practicing camouflage by flattening itself to the ground

Curlew care for much-loved birds

By TVWC reporter Rachael Lebeter BUSH STONE-CURLEWS have captured the hearts of Tweed Shire locals, including the Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers.

It is the critical breeding period for these birds, and many coastal residents have watched with concern as curlews have hatched their young.

Bush stone-curlews are endangered in NSW and numbers are continuing to decline.

We are lucky to have so many pairs dotted along the coast.

Particularly because a curlew’s natural diet is primarily made up of insects, mice, small snakes and spiders!

Last year, Corrina Lever, a long-time carer, and Michelle Phillips, the TVWC Bird Coordinator, raised two curlews from eggs.

Although it was a risk raising such an easily humanised species – curlews kept in captivity often end up thinking they are people – the effort was worth it.

Corrina and Michelle were able to prevent humanisation and release the grown chicks, the first successful release of its kind in the Northern Rivers.

There are many things threatening curlews, including habitat loss and predation. Because curlews like to nest in short grass and woody areas, such as mulched garden beds in coastal parks, they are frequently brought into close contact with humans.

Bush stone-curlews can be frighted off their nests by dogs and people. Also, when

people feed the birds, they often suffer from malnutrition.

Corrina is looking after one adorable curlew chick and 4 adult curlews this year. The adult birds are all suffering from bone and leg issues, the result of a diet deficient in calcium.

“Calcium deficiency occurs when the birds aren’t eating their normal, insect-rich diet. And that happens when people feed them,” she said.

“It’s great that people want to help the birds.”

Some ways to get involved with bush stonecurlew protection are: - Keep your dog on a leash at the beach - Avoid disturbing nesting birds - Don’t feed the curlews - Report bush stone-curlew sightings on (02) 6672 4789 Reporting bush stone-curlew sightings is one way that we gather information about this endangered species.

At TVWC we are always happy to hear about curlews, in particular nesting pairs and tagged curlews. Tagged birds have a yellow band just above their kneecap.

The band has an ID number which might be readable with binoculars or a camera zoom.

Even if you can’t read the number – and it’s not worth disturbing the bird to do so – calling when you spot one provides valuable information.

It was thanks to an observant resident that we know one of the curlew chicks released by TVWC last year is now paired up and nesting itself.

By Megan Albany CRABBES CREEK resident Alan ‘Vicksie’ Vick has decided to bid farewell to his beard and do his bit for those suffering from leukaemia.

Mr Vick will be raising funds for the annual Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave on Friday, March 15, at 6pm, to help beat blood cancers like leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

As part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave, his beard along with the hair on his head will get the chop at the Crabbes Creek general store.

Despite his impressive looking beard, Mr Vick said he is not concerned about its removal.

“The beard goes on and off depending on how blind I am at the time - if I can’t see the shaver it stays on,” Vicksie said.

To make sure the World’s Biggest Shave doesn’t end in disaster, Mr Vick said he has enlisted the help of local hairdresser Linda Parlett to do the deed on the day. This year the World’s Greatest Shave has partnered with Sustainable Salons ANZ to ensure all hair can be reused, with ponytails over 20 cm long going to make wigs for cancer patients and shorter hair being used in ‘hair booms’ to soak up oil spills in ocean waters.

While the original idea for the makeover came from the Crabbes Creek Hall Committee, Mr Vick said he was quick to raise his hand when they were looking for a volunteer.

With blood cancer the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma, Mr Vick said it was not surprising that he knew people who had been personally affected by the disease.

“We’ve lost a fair few to cancer generally in our community and I also know four blokes who had leukaemia - three are gone but one is still going.”

Despite his long locks, Mr Vick said he is not worried about his pending new look.

“It doesn’t bother me, it will be nice to be clean shaven for a while,” he said.

“Number two is the shortest I’ve ever been and that’s because I was going to a funeral and my wife said I needed to cut my hair because I was looking like a scruffy bugger,” he said.

The Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave began 21 years ago in Lismore and was inspired by a daughter whose father was battling leukaemia. Mr Vick will be one of more than 20,000 Australians participating in this year’s fundraiser.

Mr Vick and his wife Kylie said they have been very impressed by the generosity of their small community.

“We have raised over $1,000 already and we are halfway to our target of $2,000,” Kylie Vick said.

“We have over $700 on the fundraising page and we’ve also got $300 in cash plus someone just committed another $200 today,” she said.

To ensure they not only meet but exceed their goal, Mr Vick has promised that should they exceed $2,500 the will up the ante from shaving to waxing and have his back waxed at Carol’s Place in Murwillumbah.

Donations can be made online at https:// secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/registrant/ FundraisingPage.aspx?RegistrationID=743408 or in person at BCU or Blue Ribbon Butchers in Murwillumbah.

Support for those struggling with Clarrie Hall Dam drops below 90 per cent the loss of a loved one to suicide

By Jonathon Howard WHEN BILAMBIL Heights resident Sharon Somers lost her partner Peter Fleeting to suicide in 2015, she was devastated beyond belief but also found it extremely difficult to find a Tweed Shirebased support service.

After enduring such deep sorrow and loss from Peter’s death, Ms Somers was provided a support card for a Qld support worker but was later told that Qld operators do not cater for NSW residents.

Realising her search for support was in vain, and with the closest support group at Broadbeach in Qld, Ms Somers was inspired to start her own support group in the Tweed Shire.

The support group has already had one successful meeting and Ms Somers is hoping to build on that success to connect with other bereaved locals.

“My hope was to provide a support service to people in my local Tweed Shire area,” she said.

“This allows for local people to not have to drive too far, which can be a huge burden, especially when you’re often very upset.”

The support group is called Tweed/Gold Coast Suicide Bereavement Support Group with the next meeting taking place on Friday, March 1.

Or alternatively another meeting will take place on Friday, April 5 The meetings will take place at 13 Beryl Street, Tweed Heads, at the Cornerstone Medical Centre.

“I want people coping with the loss of a friend or loved one to suicide, to know that they have a local Tweed Shire-based support group to help with their grief and loss,” she said.

“Everyone who attends the group has lost a loved one to suicide and this way people do

not feel alone, there’s an instant understanding of each other’s situations.”

Ms Somers said she has been able to achieve her goal with the support of becoming a branch of Brisbane Survivors Bereavement Support Association, who cover the public liability and professional indemnity for the group.

“It was also made possible thanks to the Cornerstone Medical Centre for offering their meeting room for the monthly meetings free of charge,” she said.

“I’ve also had support from Living Well Psychology & Counselling Tweed Heads for offering to print the brochures about the group.”

The free support group is open to people aged 18 years and over who have lost someone to suicide.

“The purpose of this support group is to bring people together to share their stories where it is okay to talk about suicide and the aftermath of the impact, all within a safe and non-judgemental environment,” she said.

Anyone wanting to find out more about the meetings can contact Sharon on 0474 206 486 or email tweedgoldcoastsuicidebereavement@ mail.com

TWEED SHIRE Council has issued a ban on the sale and movement of water outside the shire after the Clarrie Hall Dam dropped below 90 per cent capacity this week.

The fall means Council is putting the Shire on notice that if significant rain is not received in the next eight weeks water restrictions will be put in place.

“Water carters can still supply shire customers but cannot sell water across the shire boundary,” Council said.

“Water carting is banned from the Uki and Tyalgum supplies.”

Council’s Manager of Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said the level of the dam is dropping close to two per cent a week, “meaning we have about eight weeks until we hit 75 per cent capacity and have to declare Level 1 water restrictions”.

“To delay the imposition of restrictions, we all need to conserve water where we can,” he said.

If implemented, Level 1 restrictions mean you cannot water your lawn, according to Council’s water restrictions.

“You can water your garden every second day (using the odd/even house numbering system) but only for one hour between 4pm and 9am using a hand-held hose or 15 minutes using a micro spray or drip irrigation system, if Level 1 water restrictions are put in place.

“No sprinkler or soaker hoses are allowed and no one can water their garden on the 31st of the month,” Council said.

“If you have just laid turf, you can water it for one hour a day for the first 14 days of establishment only.

“If you have a swimming pool or spa, you can top it up between 4pm and 9am using a hand-held hose but you cannot empty and refill it.

“If you are building a new pool or spa, you can fill them.

“You can top up a fish pond to keep the fish alive but you can’t build or fill a new one.”

TWEED CITY Shopping Centre has launched a Community Book Exchange, offering locals a place to swap books, give away books no longer needed, seek inspiration for a new read and relaxation.

The pop-up library concept is based on a sense of community, where people are encouraged to take, share and donate preloved books of their own as already implemented at place such as Sunnyside Mall in Murwillumbah.

It’s free initiative and there are no borrowing cards or late fees.

Tweed City marketing manager Megan White said the initiative was created to bring the local community together, as well as help those in need.

“The Tweed City Community Book Exchange is a way of encouraging people

to pause, have a conversation and build community networks,” Megan said.

“You can find a something for the adults and something for the kids too.”

The pop up library has taken up a space at Tweed City for a limited time and is made for all ages to enjoy with books to be donated to Lifeline when the library space closes.

Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australian’s experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24-hour support.

The books donated will go to those in need and help spread a love of reading far and wide.

Customers are encouraged to sit and enjoy the quiet space, with cushions and couches, plus a kid’s tepee area on offer.

Cruising the Kimberley coast T

he isolated Kimberley coast in Western Australia unveils two billion years of natural history and is classed as Australia’s final frontier.

With tumbling falls, fascinating reefs and gorges carved by majestic and powerful rivers, the Kimberley Coast is simply spectacular.

A great way to explore the Kimberley coast is via a cruise, which allows a once in a lifetime experience from both the ocean and ashore. As you gaze upon waterfalls that blow fine mist over clifftops, marvel at age old giant boab trees that stand like proud sentinels and discover Aboriginal rock art that hides in the crevices, you will feel transported back in time.

The geology alone is mind bending, with ochre rock formations created during intense movements of the earth, twisted by time and eroded over millennia.

Stepping aboard the cruise ship, MS Island Sky is where the journey with APT to the Kimberley coast begins. Completely refurbished in 2017, the stylish MS Island Sky is the ideal vessel for

your small ship voyage. Featuring just 57 suites with a maximum of 118 passengers, personalised attention is assured thanks to your crew of 75.

Get up close to the action faster, thanks to the 10 Zodiac vessels which will take you to places beyond the main ship. Take a ride to Montgomery Reef where, as the tide recedes, you get up close to unique marine life. Be thrilled by the spectacular Horizontal Falls, where you can ride the massive tide and explore the sandstone gorge carved by King George River

to the 80-metre cascade of King George Falls, the highest in WA. After the day exploring the region, you will settle down to enjoy dinner, with a selection of wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks and juices as well as tea and coffee before retiring to your spacious suite, which has the elegance and state-of-theart amenities of a boutique hotel.

Sassy business ladies to host special event Vulcans sign-on day

Jordana, Donna Masing and Katie Tucker

but she prefers to be seen as an unstoppable messenger of love and human potential; impacting more than 250,000 people worldwide with her unconventional models of development and transformation.”

Next up is Casuarina local Donna Masing, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2016 after a surfing accident overseas.

“At the time she was at the height of her career, working as a performance therapist with professional surfers on the world tour,” Jordana said.

“The injury incapacitated her - giving her issues with speech, balance, memory and pain amongst other complications.

“Unable to work and frustrated with being told she would never be the same again, Donna flew to the USA to begin ground-breaking treatment in the field of brain injuries.”

Donna, with the support of many forward-thinking health practitioners has since made a full recovery and is proudly back at work full-time.

She is currently writing a book about her experience on the other side of the practitioners’ table.

SIGN ON FOR 2019

“Our annual International Women’s Day event is not for profit, with a donation of the sales going to the UN Women,” Jordana said.

“The UN Women organisation focuses on humanitarian action, eliminating violence against women, women’s leadership and political participation, economic empowerment as well as peace and security for women.

“Sassy Business Women is a community group of business women from the Tweed coast.

“Last year was our inaugural luncheon which was a huge success.”

Jordana said the event was sold out in 2018 with 130 tickets sold.

“This year we are planning on it being even better,” she said.

“Our event will be held on March 8 from 11am in the beautiful seaside town of Kingscliff in the Beach Bowls Club.

“We are reaching out to the Tweed community to be a part of a great event, that supports, motivates and uplifts women of all ages.”

COME AND JOIN AUSTRALIA’S GREATEST GAME AND BE PART OF THE EXCITEMENT AS AFL GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH IN THE NORTHERN RIVERS AND GOLD COAST

MEMBERS OF the Murwillumbah Vulcans AFL Club are gearing up for another big season of local junior footy with a special offer this year and a new president Grant Vidler (pictured) at the helm.

A passionate Vulcans advocate, Mr Vidler is urging local families to sign up for a great season of AFL this year.

“We have been given three family passes to certain Gold Coast Suns games for this year,” he said.

“Everyone that has already signed on, or who signs on this weekend, will go into the draw to win those tickets.”

Mr Vidler said he wanted to remind parents not to forget that this weekend’s sign on is at the Murwillumbah Services Club on Saturday, March 2, from 10am to 12.30pm.

“We are working with AFLQ to implement big changes in the way five to seven-year-olds are introduced to AFL through the Auskick program,” he said.

“Following the eight weeks of Auskick we have an eight week Superstars program running on our game days, at no extra cost to parents.

“This means that for the $80 cost, kids receive a 16 week fun filled AFL program.

“It’s a fantastic incentive being offered and we want as many young kids to get involved as possible.

Mr Vidler said the Vulcan’s greatest strengths are the amazing game day experiences for kids who wish to take their footy further with pathways through representative teams and into the Gold Coast Suns Talent Academy.

“Our game days are recognised by those running the league to be the best of all clubs,” he said.

“It’s just fun and there’s plenty of music and a carnival atmosphere along with fun games of footy on a Sunday morning, make for a fantastic experience.

“We are very proud that over a dozen past & present players, both boys & girls, have gone on to be part of the Suns Talent Academy.”

By Jonathon Howard SASSY BUSINESS women of the Tweed Shire are hosting a special International Women’s Day event at the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club on Friday, March 8, with another outstanding line up of speakers set to share their success stories.

The global day, which includes several events across the Tweed Shire, is designed to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women with this year’s theme “Balance for Better”.

Sassy Business Woman co-founder Jordana Edwards said the event will feature a panel of remarkable and inspiring women, “who are achieving amazing feats in their fields”.

“Our first speaker Cara Boatswain is the founder and editor of Australian Gluten-Free Life and Fodmapper magazines,” she said.

Following a 15-year career in media, bridging radio, print and online, Cara founded Cazbah Media in 2014.

She has since launched into Australia’s only completely gluten-free consumer magazine.

“Cara will share her personal story from health bombshell to the creation of a product now available from supermarkets nationally,” she said.

Back by popular demand is Suzi Dent, who presented on last year’s panel.

A first-time pageant queen at 54 and a recently reformed tomboy who had a lifelong fear of frocks, Suzi credits the Mrs Earth pageant with changing her life and helping her find her true authentic self.

“We have two inspiring women joining these Sassy ladies on the panel,” Jordana said.

By Jenna Ford AMATEUR BACKYARD and paddock beekeepers generally have the luxury of more time than commercial beekeepers to focus on the best bee friendly ways of managing their hives. And that’s a great thing for the bees.

Sydney’s go-to guru of back yard and rooftop beekeeping, Gavin Smith, is taking time out to come to the Northern Rivers to visit friends and to run workshops for budding, or experienced amateur beekeepers.

Gavin is a very knowledgeable and entertaining educator.

“Honey bees love building their comb and they communicate in the darkness of hive by vibrating the comb and by complex dance movements called the waggle dance,” Gavin said.

Generally, commercial beekeepers need to keep a focus on making money and maximising honey production in their hives.

For this reason they manage their hives differently to many amateur beekeepers.

For example, they use frames in their hives that have pre-rolled wax sheets wired into them so that their bees don’t “waste time and energy” drawing comb, but get straight into the business of producing brood and honey.

In the world of amateur beekeeping there is a lot of discussion about what’s termed “bee friendly” or “bee centric” hive management.

Some hives are designed for encouraging bees to draw their own comb and some backyard beekeepers prefer to use commercial hives and frames with wax sheets in them.

In the two day weekend workshop Gavin will explore all the hive management options with students and discuss the positives and

negatives of the different ways of keeping hives.

Of course there is nothing like actually coming to a hive opening all kitted up with beekeeper veils and gloves.

Watching smokers being lit, hives being checked for brood, health and honey is a real treat if you are new to beekeeping and endlessly fascinating if you are experienced as a beekeeper.

Day two of the workshop is a hands on day opening a hive or two, (weather permitting), harvesting some frames of honey, pressing honey the old fashioned way from comb to jar and learning how to prepare frames with wax sheets.

Fresh baked bread with delicious honey in the fresh comb will be on the menu for afternoon tea.

And then there are our lovely native bees.

Gavin will be spending some time exploring the world of our native bees with local primary school children.

Each spring Gavin volunteers time splitting many hundreds of native bee hives in the Ku-ring-gai Shire in Sydney.

Norther Rivers has many types of wild native bees living here.

Commonly called “stingless bees”, native bees provide endless fascination for young children who can get close to their hive entrances without being stung.

Perhaps you have some of these lovely bees in your backyard or nearby bush.

Check out the advertisement (right) for the two day workshop and ring Jenna on 0417 495 862 to discuss attending or check out the "events" section on our Facebook page - ByBuzzz.

The workshop is being held at a farm in Tyalgum

BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP One day theory and beekeeper Q & A An inside look at a honey bee colony, the way the hive lives, works, mates and communicates, wiggle dancing, types of honey bees, basic anatomy, hive types and hive health. Swarms and splitting hives.

Suit up and come and help open a couple of local hives, harvest honey (if the bees have surplus for us). Back at base we’ll take honey from frames, taste delicious honey comb and learn to assemble hive frames.

Holistic Wellbeing and Healing

The Pisces Star Sign

February 19 to March 20

Element – Water

BEING THE last star sign in the Zodiac, Pisces are extremely psychic and intuitive.

They are generally quite creative and enjoy designing and music.

They are clever, kind and idealistic, however can be easily led.

Pisces like quiet places and beautiful surroundings, yet often feel insecure.

They can sometimes be moody and will often drift away from responsibility.

Being creative, clever and resourceful, these people can achieve a great deal and really reach the top but few of them do. Some Pisces have a self-destruct button which they press before reaching their goal.

& NEW AGE G�l!L!ERV.

Others do achieve success and the motivating force behind this essentially spiritual and mystical sign is often money.

Pisces are at home in any kind of creative or caring career.

Many can be found in teaching, nursing and the arts.

They make extremely faithful partners as long as the romance doesn’t evaporate, and their partners treat them well.

Problems occur if they are mistreated or rejected, if they become bored or restless.

Strengths are kindness, intelligence, creativity and comforting. Weaknesses are lack of focus, stubbornness, selfishness and self-pitying.

Q&A with state election candidates 31

NSW VOTES 2019 Q&A with candidates This week we ask the Tweed and Lismore candidates to outline how they propose to address concerns around violence and drug issues and in particular the rising scourge of the drug ice.

Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot said a Daley Labor Government will open six ice d e t ox i f i c at i o n and rehabilitation clinics, four of which will be located in regional areas to “break the hold of the drug”.

“Our clinics will be attached to public hospitals with a total of 150 beds that will treat up to 1,300 ice addicts each year and will be staffed by specially trained nurses, health professionals and security guards,” he said.

“Another important initiative will see an elected Daley Labor Government hold a Drug Summit to inform decision makers by bring former addicts, parents, patients, health workers, judges, experts and police together.

“Locally, the police association has publicly identified Tweed as one of the top ten ice hotspots in NSW and has been calling for an additional 31 officers which would assist in their duties including combating drug supply and criminal dealers.

“Under a Daley Labor Government the Tweed Byron

Police District will get the extra 31 police officers needed to keep Tweed streets and suburbs safe.

“Ice addition is linked to assaults, domestic violence, mental health incidents, road fatalities, youth crime, house and business breakins, organised crime and it is destroying lives.

“Labor is serious about getting ice addicts off the streets, out of our hospital emergency departments and getting them into the treatment they need.

“Without a doubt, this ice epidemic is ruining individuals, families and communities – particularly in rural and regional areas.”

The Greens candidate for Tweed Bill Fenelon said his party’s drug policy is centred on harm m i n i m i s at i o n , education, compassion and increased awareness.

“I believe that drugs are a health and social issue and shouldn’t be a law enforcement battle,” he said.

“The so-called ‘War on Drugs’ has failed time and time again to reduce harmful drug use and its ensuing social problems.

“Drug prohibition feeds black markets sparking corruption and organised crime.

“I support scientifically proven and effective approaches such

as education, counselling and treatment.

“It’s important that the root causes of drug abuse and addiction such as family violence, sexual assault, abuse and trauma are properly assessed and addressed.

“I support education and public health programs that promote harm minimisation, scientifically based treatment approaches, improved rehabilitation and social awareness.

“Boosted funding for staff and resources for these programmes could be achieved by diverting funds from law enforcement regimes.

“As well as wasting scarce police resources this futile programme is also clogging up the courts across our region.

“This is unjust and needs to be changed.

“I would also improve access to residential and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs and proven harm minimisation approaches such as drug substitution therapies, supervised injecting rooms, needle exchange programs and expanded multifaceted mental health programmes that address the root causes of drug addiction and abuse and assist those at risk.”

Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said his

government’s announcement of an additional 1,500 police will help tackle drugs.

“Firstly, in November last year we announced an extra 1,500 police which will start hitting our street in July this year,” he said.

“However, the key is to not simply focus on fixing the problem, but to focus on prevention.

“We will deliver NSW’s first ever Regional Youth Strategy to address issues of unemployment, alcohol and drug rehabilitation and mental health so young people are not left faltering or struggling to navigate their way through a system that is actually designed to help them.

“The strategy will involve the establishment of a Regional Youth Taskforce and the allocation of at least $50 million to projects aimed at supporting young people in regional areas.

“If more attention is given to addressing the life needs and concerns of our youth, they will be less likely to turn to drugs and alcohol for support.

“The NSW Liberals and Nationals have always been the party that is tough on crime.

“We delivered the new police station in the Tweed, we delivered the regional enforcement squad and we’re delivering a record 1,500 extra police across the state.

“As a community we need to stay vigilant, continue to report illegal activity and work together to come up with other solutions that suit our community.

“I would like to see greater community engagement through Neighbourhood Watch and more localised solutions which could be funded through the NSW Government’s Crime Prevention Fund.”

The Animal Justice Party’s (AJP) candidate for Tweed, Susie Hearder said her party shares community concerns about drug and alcohol related violence and the rise of “manufactured and unsafe drug taking”.

“I recognise that there is a need for a greater police presence in our community,” she said.

“The AJP would seek to engage with local police, community workers including youth workers and private and hospital medical staff to initially ascertain the exact contributing causes of reported and documented violence cases to determine the accurate ratio of incidents that were fueled by drugs and alcohol to better understand the true extent of the problems.

“We would then seek to hold a round-table with all stakeholders, including the community to devise a strategy, plan and any required funding to tackle the problems which may include increased police numbers or specialist police officers trained in drug and alcohol issues and related violence.”

32 Q&A with state election candidates Thursday, February 28, 2019 The Nationals candidate for the seat of Lismore Austin Curtin said “this is a complex area but one which the Nationals have been quite firm in”. “ To h e l p address crime the NSW Nationals in Government have already announced an increase of 1,500 police officers in NSW, the single largest increase in the history of the police force which will be rolled out from July this year,” he said.

“The Labor Party are currently reannouncing this policy as their own.

“It is my belief that we also need to ensure our police have the appropriate powers to catch drug dealers and ensure our courts have the ability to process them in a timely manner.

“We must also do more to prevent people from turning to drugs.

“This area is quite complex, however mental health can often play a large role, which is why the NSW Nationals in Government have announced mental health workers in every public high school in the Lismore electorate will have two mental health workers as well as additional psychologists through a state-wide boost.

“The NSW Nationals in Government have taken this issue very seriously.

“As well as our increase in police numbers, the NSW Government also rolled out Regional Enforcement Squads, including here in the Northern Rivers. These squads support our local police by targeting large-scale, mid-level and serial crimes impacting our community.

“I believe as a community we need to put more focus on prevention rather than reaction. Organisations that focus on youth are extremely important to this success, as well as ensuring our young people are supported.

“This is why the NSW Nationals in Government will appoint the state’s first ever Minister for Regional Youth.

“The Minister will establish a Regional Youth Taskforce, deliver a Regional Youth Strategy to address issues of unemployment, alcohol and drug rehabilitation as well as mental health services, establish an office of regional youth and commit at least $50 million to specific youth projects.”

Labor candidate for Lismore Janelle Saffin said “every day we read stories about illicit drug use”.

“We say it is a criminal justice matter leaving it to our police, ambos and nurses to be the first responders providing little support,” she said.

“It is much larger than that.

“Labor has made three significant commitments, firstly to establish four regional Ice Rehabilitation Centres, secondly to convene an NSW Drugs Summit - review what works, what doesn’t, what is needed and act and thirdly the addition of 31 Police in the Tweed Byron area - additional security - more nurses through legislated ratios in Murwillumbah Hospital.

“My commitment to action is to support families, the CBD and to restore frontline services.

“Former Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Palmer,

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

three former Police and Assistant Commissioners, former Director of Public Prosecutions, two former heads of Corrective Services, former Premiers Jeff Kennett and Bob Carr asked the question, “Can Australia respond to drugs more effectively and safely?” Their report answers yes.

“These concerned and conservative citizens tell MPs it is time to act – we cannot arrest our way out of this – that inaction is harmful.

“This inaction is not fair to Police, Ambos and Nurses who bear the brunt of ice and alcohol associated violence; to families who suffer the mayhem and grief; to those seeking support for their drug use/addiction and are told there are no places and to those impacted by the violence and destruction.”

Sue Higginson, Greens candidate fo r L i s m o re, said being tough on drug-related crime is about implementing evidence-based s o l u t i o n s t h at actually work to reduce drug-related crime.

“The current war on drugs is not working,” she said. “ F i r s t , s o m e p e r s p e c t i v e.

Australians, particularly our youth, are using drugs and alcohol a lot less than previous years.

“However, we also know that those who do use, particularly ice users, are more likely to be involved in crime.

“Most young people involved in drug-related crime have a ‘dual diagnosis’ – that is they have a mental illness and drug misuse issues.

“We need to address drug-related crime as the serious health issue it is – not just a criminal one.

“The best way to do this is to introduce a Drug Court to the region and invest in rehabilitation, early intervention, and aftercare services in order to break the criminal cycle.

“We also need mental health services which are better integrated with drug and alcohol services.

“The best and most cost-effective way to address drug-related crime in our region is to introduce a Drug Court to the region and I will be doing everything I can to make this happen.

“A Drug Court will bring an extra judicial officer to the area, which is much needed to properly address drug-related crime.

“A Drug Court automatically means more beds for rehabilitation treatment.

“It is not good enough to rehabilitate people without effective aftercare services including followup support and is linked with housing, education and training services. “ We k n ow a f t e rc a re h e l p s prevent relapse and the crime cycle continuing. Experts agree: The cause of addiction is isolation. The cure is connection.

“We need to be supporting community programs, particularly for at-risk young people and veterans, which facilitate community engagement – access to arts, sports and community p ro j e c t s i s a n important part of crime prevention.”

Animal Justice Party candidate for Lismore Alison Waters said

tackling violence in our community requires us to “address it wherever it occurs”.

“It also means acknowledging the human and non-human victims of violence,” she said.

“As a family violence worker, I am aware that for some women and children the most dangerous place for them is in their own home.

“For some young people, the streets are their safe place. Drugs and alcohol their only escape from an intolerable home life.

“We must promote cultural change and gender equality to reduce violence in our homes and communities.

“It is essential that we support those who have experienced violence by providing appropriate counselling services, access to the justice system and financial compensation.

“Children and young people who are experiencing violence in their homes require access to effective trauma-informed counselling services in order to break the cycle of violence and a dependence on drugs and alcohol. Currently, there is a six-week wait to access publicly funded trauma-informed counselling services.

“I support enhanced funding for community-based and residential drug and alcohol services.

“All too often, people do not receive access to these services until they have become embroiled in the criminal justice system.

“I believe that we will not eradicate violence from our society until we address it at all levels – in the home, on the street and in industries that traditionally perpetrate violence acts against animals.”

The Regent to host Orava Quartet

THE REGENT Theatre is continuing to offer some of the best musical talents in Australia with the stunning Orava Quartet set to perform on Sunday, March 3.

The Orava Quartet was founded in 2007 by brothers Daniel Kowalik (violin) and Karol Kowalik (cello), Thomas Chawner (viola), and joined in 2011 by David Dalseno (violin).

The group has been described as one of the most exciting string quartets of its generation and are known for their passionate and thrilling performances.

Mainstream media have hailed the Orava Quartet as the “future of Australian Chamber Music”, signing, in 2017, to Deutsche Gramophone for its historic, first Australian release.

Winning major awards at the 2013 Asia Pacific Chamber Music Competition,

since returning to Australia, the Orava Quartet has continued its impressive and rapid rise to national attention.

The quartet will be bringing their unique sound and intensity to the classics of the string quartet canon.

Their program at The Regent will include pieces from composers Haydn, Dvorak and Mendelssohn.

The Orava Quartet will be performing at the Regent from 4pm.

COLD WAR

81514

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

The film Cold War has arrived in Australia on the strength of numerous international accolades, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

The title of the film is deceiving: the war depicted in the film does happen in the historical period identified with the ‘Cold War’ but refers mostly to the war of feelings between two people who hate and love each other at the same time.

The story is set in Poland and France in the years from the 1940s to 1960s, and follows a musical talent scout who discovers a young singer, and falls in love with her. Being performing musicians the two are forced to join the propaganda machine of the regime in Poland at the time, but keep dreaming of escaping to the creative freedom of the West. One day, they have the opportunity to escape to France, but freedom does not help their relationship, as they are divided by their mismatched personalities and reunite and separate multiple times over the course of 15 years, their obsessive and destructive relationship defined less by affection than by a mutual mistrust, and eventually latent violence and hostility.

The film is loosely inspired by the tempestuous marriage of the film’s director Pawel Pawlikowski’s late parents — after whom the protagonists Wiktor and Zula are named, and to whom the film is dedicated.

The film is in black and white, displaying the same dark visual esthetic of Pawlikowski’s 2013 award-winning movie Ida about a young nun who discovers a dark family secret dating back to the Nazi occupation of Poland. Like that previous film Cold War is, in the words of a film critic ‘a soberly moving study of the disappointment and insecurity that can blossom from supposed renewal: It’s a romance in which new beginnings and endings can be hard to tell apart’.

AFTER RECEIVING a breast cancer diagnosis ten years ago, Pottsville resident Rose Watson (pictured left) set off on a path that was to take her from a full-time job as a computer engineer to a career as a professional artist.

“I actually got unwell and had cancer and had to leave my high stress profession,” Ms Watson said.

“My support group was offering an art course and I put some paint on a brush and I didn’t even know what to do with it but as soon as I put the paint on the canvas it was like there was some type of electricity and I was hooked.

“I do look at the cancer as a gift, even though it was a tremendous struggle, as discovering art gave me the gift of a new life.

“I had to recreate myself and I had to go forward because I couldn’t go back to where I was.”

Despite having only just graduated from her Diploma in Visual Arts, Ms Watson has already exhibited her work as part of the Gallery 7 Art Prize and was recently chosen as a MAT19 artist. The talented artist is also holding her first solo exhibition at the Garden Gallery, 8 Bagoo Ave Murwillumbah. The exhibition opens on Thursday, February 28, at 6pm and runs for two weeks.

Titled Beneath and Beyond, it features artwork combining Ms Watson’s computing and artistic skills to create multi-layered artwork featuring original montages.

“Now I’m a creative artist and a computer nerd,” she laughs.

“I blend traditional art methods with modern techniques and I use watercolour

paintings to form multi-disciplinary images.”

Ms Watson said her work was inspired by the beauty of old growth forests that she recently witnessed on a trip to Norfolk Island.

“I was so moved by how alive the forest was and how pure the air was, so when I came back to this area I wanted to highlight how vulnerable our forests are,” she said.

“I felt that these landscapes were disappearing before we are even getting a chance to see them, so I felt a sense of urgency to capture what I saw and document it.”

Greens candidate for Lismore, Sue Higginson, will speak at the launch of the exhibition which also features jewellery made from petrified wood by Tyalgum silversmith Kirra Springs.

“Given the philosophy behind the exhibition which is all about noticing the beauty and strength of our ancient forests and coastline I thought it would fit with Sue’s conservation message,” The Garden Gallery owner Karen Dawson said.

Wild weather batters Tweed Coast

SURFERS REVELLED in the Cyclone Oma swell but the gale force winds wreaked havoc across the Tweed Coast.

Beaches were closed from Thursday, February 21, as abnormally hide tides hit the coast with Tweed Shire Council and the SES kept busy with fallen trees.

Friday saw winds gusting from 90 km/hr at lunch time peaking at 100km per hour on Friday night.

Secretary of the Tweed Coast VRA Scotty Talbot was at Hastings Point monitoring swell and tidal surges.

“We’ve opened up the shed and pulled all the equipment out because the day time high tides have been pushing

strongly up the creek and moving a lot of debris and sand and everything else that goes with it around.”

Despite the conditions Mr Talbot said that it could have been much worse.

“It’s lucky we didn’t get the rain which pushes down a lot of the dry debris out of the creeks which would have affected the coast a lot more so we’ve dodged that bullet.”

Surfers took on the big swell at Hastings Point but as conditions worsened Tweed Coast surfers hit Kirra.

On Saturday 27 rescues took place on the southern Gold Coast including 13 surfers and two jet ski operators.

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!

Murwillumbah Basketball Association back home

By Jonathon Howard THE MARCH 2017 flood was a terrible time in the Tweed Shire and many organisations felt the brunt of Cyclone Debbie.

As most of Murwillumbah and surrounds went underwater so did the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church on Racecourse Road in Tygalgah, which is also the home court for the Murwillumbah Basketball Association (MBA).

The wooden floor was swollen and beyond repair and rendered MBA without a home court.

MBA was founded back in 1952 and spent around 20 of those years at the SDA Church.

MBA has a long and proud history in Murwillumbah, in the very early days they played on outdoor courts in James Street, then Kaye Street.

In the past there were even games played on the main street as part of the Banana Festival.

Prior to the flood the MBA club was flourishing with growth throughout all of the groups, there was great momentum.

Unfortunately momentum was lost after the weather event and MBA had to move.

MBA has had it’s ups and downs over the years but March 2017 was a new low.

They were homeless. Thankfully after much searching they found a temporary home at TVAC. Finally after months of waiting the SDA Church court is ready and MBA can finally go home.

“Now that we are back home the club is buzzing again,” MBA secretary Karissa Ball said.

“Things are starting to grow and it is really exciting to see the new faces as well as the growth in members.

“We have a new coach that has joined our team, Bret Madden comes with over 40 years

of playing, coaching and refereeing basketball.

“Bret has a great coaching style and his primary aim is to provide a learning environment that is both fun and effective in fostering young players development and their love of sport.”

MBA President Justin Stillman said he is happy to announce a new 14 and under competition is about to start.

“Basketball is a safe non-contact sport, played all year round, indoors and out of the sun,” Mr Stillman said.

“Our junior Competition is played in Murwillumbah so no need to travel for weekly games.

“The game of basketball is such a fun sport for all participants and can be enjoyed by a broad range of players. As a team sport, along with physical development, the game helps to advance a range of individual

skill sets including 360-degree awareness, communication, social skills, fast decision making and reactiveness.

“I would strongly recommend it as the game of choice for kids and adults alike.

“We are fortunate on the Far North Coast to have a regional competition such as The North Coast Shield, which MBA players will play in.

“It is primarily a development league which provides a forum for boys and girls from under 10s to under 18s to experience representative basketball at an intermediate level, with the emphasis being on creating a fair and enjoyable competition for all involved.”

MBA coach Bret Madden said many NCS players continue to develop and aspire to stronger competitions such as the more competitive Northern Junior League.

Later in the year MBA will play in the North Coast Shield (NCS), a junior competition

over five rounds against Byron Bay, Lismore, Grafton, Yamba and Ballina. NCS is a fantastic competition for the juniors, it builds great friendships with their team mates and other players from other teams.

As well as the opportunity to be scouted for other Northern Rivers Team.

Monday night (February 18) our Women’s League take to the court, the Men’s League on Tuesday night.

There is still time to nominate a team, if you don’t have a team then there are spots available on existing teams.

There are basketball programs for all ages from 5 to 17 years old.

Aussie Hoops, Mini Ball and Youth League are all available.

For more information of MBA contact Justin Stillman 0412 402 893 or email 2484basketball@gmail.com

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey CABARITA’S OPEN Pairs final with Dennis Blackadder and Cec Sheppard challenging Ken Coyte and Terry Fuller (S) resulted in a tough encounter between these two closely matched teams. Sheppard and co. were 5-1 up after four ends before team Fuller retaliated and evened the score by the seventh end. Picking up a five on the next end then gave them the lead. As the duel continued, the scores were even again on 15-15 at the completion of 15 ends, 16-16 on 17 and 17-17 on 19.

Skip Sheppard drew 2 great bowls on the 20th end to regain the lead. Last crucial end and team Fuller was holding 2 shots to draw the game but was snookered by Sheppard delivering an immaculate draw shot to snatch the end and claim victory. Congratulations to both teams on a well played final.

Ocean Shores also completed their Pairs Championship last week end with the final featuring JT Gray and Troy Makin

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals challenging Phil Clarke and Justin Jones for top honours.

Horrendous winds, courtesy TC Oma, not only lashed the contestants throughout the game but played havoc with the bowls during delivery as well. Early ends saw the teams matching each other in a close encounter until Clarke and Jones instigated a quick break away mid game to snatch a reasonable lead. However, Makin and Gray stepped up a notch or two, took over control and claimed victory with a handy margin.

Brunswick Heads women completed their Fours Championships last week with the final between Carol McGregor, Fay Parkes (sub for Maureen Bertoli), Helen McCaffery and Lorraine McCormick (S) and Jenny Andrew, Ilona Pettendy, Sherril Pearce and Lyn Proudlock (S). High quality bowls from all contestants in this closely fought dual produced a great game that went down to the wire. With one end left to play, team McCormack was on 20-19 up. However, a concerted effort from team Proudlock resulted in them collecting the three shots needed to claim victory. A grand contest, by all accounts.

Cudgen ladies’ annual “Pink” Friendship Day was, once again, a successful fund raising event in support of the Tweed

Cabarita’s Open Pairs Champions Dennis Blackadder, Cec Sheppard (Skip)

Heads Oncology Ward. With the emphasis on pink, nothing was left untouched right down to the corner “pink” flags on the greens. Even the men who joined in for this mixed event were all flashed up in their pink finery. Green fees, generously waived by Club Limited, together with raffles etc. produced a tidy sum in the vicinity of $1000 that will go to this worthy cause. Well done, Cudgen ladies.

See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Cudgen run-fest against Ballina while Schooners sitting pretty in Third Grade

Charlee Morris, Taya and Jase Clark and Amy Fulton

Players sought for AFL Tigers Under 16 girls THE TWEED Coast Tigers Under 16 girls team that were runners up in last year’s grand final are hoping to go one better this year and are looking for players to boost their ranks.

The Weekly caught up with the team at their first training run of the year at Pottsville and spoke to coach Jase Clark.

“They’ve got some pretty good skills and they go in tough,” Clark said.

“The most important thing for me is that I train them the right way to go into a tackle and not get hurt and to tackle other players and not get hurt as well - to protect their head and things like that.

“We’ve got a whole range of players like girls who have never played before to girls like Charlee Morris and Taya (Clark) that have been here since day one and come up through the ranks of Under 12s, Under 14s and now Under 16s.”

Clark said they looked like having a really strong team this year.

“To have Amy Fulton come up from Victoria, she was playing Under 18 football as

a 14 year-old so that’s pretty good,” he said.

“We’re going to have a good team and it’s all going to be about fun this year.

“We are still looking for more girls to join in - anyone from the age of 13 through to 16. If they are 17 and have never played before they can probably play too. We are looking for players of all skill levels.”

“Last year we had seven players who had never played before and we got into the grand final.” (The Tigers were runners up to Murwillumbah) Clark plays for the Tigers and have been coaching for eight years after playing senior level AFL. Daughter Taya said her dad was a pretty good coach.

“This will be my fifth year playing,” Taya said.

“I really like the sport in general and working in a team, tackling, kicking, I just like it all.”

Amy was at her first training session after the move from Victoria.

“I like the team spirit and running out there with the girls,” she said.

“We’re going to beat Murwillumbah this year.”

Alec Williams on his way to 84 for Cudgen

CUDGEN PLAYED Ballina at Kingscliff in Round 8 of the Two Day LJ Hooker League on Saturday February 23.

The Hornets won the toss and went in to bat, with opener Caleb Ziebell scoring 73, Pat Rosser making the half century as well with a very respectable 57 and Alex Williams top scoring on 84.

The boys declared at 8/331 after 73 overs leaving Ballina no time for anything much.

Connor Ziebell bowled the Bears opener for a duck with Ballina finishing on 1/0 after one over with a hefty score to chase next week.

Pottsville played bottom of the rung Alstonville at Seabreeze and were hoping to get some big points to help them climb up into a finals spot before the last round in March.

Alstonville won the toss and sent the Pelicans in to bat.

Adam Rogers was the top scorer on 54, Arren Laycock scored 39 and Ryan McCloy scored 28. The boys were all out for 192 after 47 overs before Alstonville went in to bat.

Alstonville finished day one on 2/39 with Jamie Bennett and Jayden Hoare taking a wicket each so Potty will be looking for some big bowling next week.

Murwillumbah played Marist Brothers Lismore at Lismore, with Marist Bros winning the toss and sending Murbah in to bat.

Anton Peenz top scored on 24 and Declan Brooks was next best with 20 with the Tweed boys all out for 102 after 45 overs.

Marist Brothers went in to bat, making 6/190 after 35 overs. Adam Melville was

the best of the bowlers for the Panthers, taking 3/41 while Declan Brooks and Will Chapples took a wicket each.

Coastal League

I n Ro u n d 1 8 C u d g e n p l ay e d Murwillumbah at Rabjones Oval, winning the toss and sending the hosts in to bat.

Sid Ewing top scored, picking up a half century for the Panthers before being bowled at 54 by Lachlan Wylie.

Murwillumbah were all out for 124 off the back of some great bowling for Cudgen. Wylie took 3/22 for Cudgen, Harvey Moase took 2/25, Mitchel Anderson took 2/20 and Chris Moase took 2/31. Callum Prichard made three catches.

A big effort from Ryan Lahrs on 76 not out and Hayden Wilson on 20 not out saw Cudgen overtake the hosts with two wickets down for 126 runs. Top bowler for the Panthers was Joel Antonelli who took 2/26.

Terranora had a bye.

Pottsville played Lennox at Lennox and batted first. The star of the show and another worthy Pelican of the Week recipient was Aaron Hasaart who scored 80 not out, with Oscar Van Megchelen next best on 29 and Mitchell Tripp scoring 24 with Potty 6/199 at the end of their 40 overs.

Lennox showed why they are leading the competition, losing only two wickets on their way to a 201-run victory with their top batsmen Reuben Moyle making 91 not out.

Thirsty Thirds

The Schooners played the Bobcats at Tweed with the Bobcats winning the toss and sending the hosts in to bat.

Once again it was a great team effort for the Schooners, all out for 247 with Dale Buckpitt top scoring on 45 and Merv Kempnich next best on 35. Dan Mortimer took 3/30, Kyle Walker took 2/27 and Blake Gilmore took 2/29.

In reply the Bobcats didn’t quite pull it off, scoring 225 with no batting breakdown available. Dennis Smallwood took 2/22 and Andrew McKay took 2/26 to take the win for the Schooners.

The Cougars played the Kegs at Tweed, winning the toss and batting first with Sheldon retiring on 50 not out and Sean Bowden taking 41 for a total of 6/191 at the end of the 40 overs.

The best bowler for the Kegs was Scott Bruce taking 2/12.

Bruce also stepped up in the batting, making 53 not out with Fred Rushton (46) and Pat Seabrook (33) part of the good team effort to take the win on 6/194. Best bowlers for the Cougars were Sheldon on 2/45 and Matt Daley 2/37.

Cabarita played Cudgen 1 at Black Rocks with Cudgen winning the toss and electing to bat.

Jeff Stoward starred, making the half century not out while Kodie Edgar Farrell did a good job backing up with 42, helping the team to an 8/200 total.

Dave Hirst rocked the bowling taking 4/25.

In reply for Caba, Andrew Pasterfield top scored on 47, John Fallows got 43 and Hirst was not out on 29 but the team fell short on 187. Cudgen’s best bowlers were Jeff Stoward taking 2/24 and Lee Balgowan with 2/33.

The match between Cudgen 2 and Pottsville seems to have been called off and declared a draw.

The Stubbies had a bye.

Between the Flags

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy NO ACTIVITY at the beach last weekend due to Cyclone OMA creating large and rough seas and the beach being closed. About twenty metres of sand lost in the patrol area, but plenty left. Further north from the Bowls Club there has been erosion.

Luke Chaffer, Scott McCartney and Angus McPhail contested the Open Events at the final of the Oceans 6 Series at Wanda last Friday - Saturday. Luke made it through the qualifying rounds on Friday in the Iron Man in wild conditions and was 11th in the final of the Nutri-Grain. These three also were in the Board Relay Final in which the team was placed 4th in the six carnival series. Scott McCartney was 7th in the Board Final. In the U15 yrs Stirling Crawford was successful in the Beach Flags and placed second in the Sprint.

The Branch Senior Titles which were cancelled the previous week have now been programmed for April 14, which is the weekend after the Australian at Broadbeach.

The FNC Branch headquarter building at Shelly Beach, Ballina was originally built for the Ballina Surf Club Juniors.

A development application has been submitted to Ballina Shire Council for the development of an existing small kiosk that was never formalised but there has been nothing there for some time. It was serving the public until a year ago, but is now being formalised to be brought up to modern day requirements at a cost of $30,000.

Pending approval, Branch President Wilson Cregan said it hoped to be up and running in a months time.

Raiders out of Challenge Cup but amped for the “Cullo Cup” this weekend THE TWEED Coast Raiders played the Challenge Cup quarter finals at Guilford in Sydney on Saturday February 23, going down 38-8.

Assistant coach Mike Ashburn said the team started well.

“Guildford were good, I think they were a very well disciplined team.

They made the finals last year in the Challenge Cup,” he said.

“Brayden Evans kicked a penalty goal in the first half and it was 8 - 2 at half time.

“We had a lot of opportunities but couldn’t capitalise. Their defence was really strong.

“They were really fit. They train four days a week which is more than most teams and shows how tough the competition is in Sydney.”

Ashburn said the host team got the majority of their tries in the second half.

“Their fullback was probably their best player and he scored a few tries.

He showed a few weaknesses in our defence line.

“Kalani Hensby got a try in the second half which was set up by Drew Lanston.

“At the end of the day it was only a trial and good to learn what we need to fix to be a better team.”

The “The Justin Cullen Cup” is on this weekend March 2 “in loving memory of Justin Cullen” with times to be announced on the team website shortly.

“We play Bilambil - Justin played for both clubs and a lot of his good mates played for both teams and many of them still do,” Ashburn said.

“It’s a celebration of Justin’s life and mateship and it’s always a great day.

“A lot of the guys from both teams are friends but that will mean nothing on the weekend.

“Having the day shows how much Justin meant to everyone.”

Daniel Rocket Ross said the team started well in the Sydney game.

“I thought we were on top of them. There were a couple of one percenters we could fix up to tidy up the ruck a bit,” he said.

“We lacked a bit of execution attacking their line and we had no dramas matching them in the start but they got away on us.

“It was a great learning experience and we will take that into this weekend.”

Ross said the team was “looking forward to a good clash in the

middle between the forwards as there has been a few good battles there in the past”.

“We’re looking forward to a good fast game coming off the back of the experience in Sydney.

“The bigger the crowd the better we play, it’s an extra player on the field so it would be awesome to see all the Hillbillies come out and support us. It’s going to be a great day.”

The Justin Cullen Cup is on Saturday March 2 with times to be announced shortly on the Tweed Coast Raiders Facebook page.
