DEBATE AROUND DRUMLINES TWEED SHIRE Councillors are set to debate whether coastal communities could benefit from smart drumlines to deal with rising tensions around sharks following the shire’s first shark death earlier this month. Cr James Owen is leading the charge, stressing the need to ensure swimmers and beachgoers are not fearful of visiting Tweed Shire beaches. But Mayor Katie Milne says if people don’t like what the Tweed Shire has to offer “go to the Gold Coast” where there’s shark nets and drumlines aplenty.

Border closure to remain in place until July 10 By Jonathon Howard THE QUEENSLAND border is likely to remain closed until Friday, July 10, according to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, who has acknowledged the plight of border businesses but is sticking to her guns. Premier Palaszczuk recently told the media she understands the plight of businesses whose recovery is crucially aligned with the border reopening, but has insisted she would not bring forward any decisions on reopening the border. The Queensland Premier is following the guidance of her Chief Health Officer who has earmarked stage three, from July 10, as the likely date to ease border restrictions. “The Chief Health Officer can declare communities as Stage 3 which removes all travel restrictions including entry and quarantine requirements and applies the same provisions as other areas of

Queensland under the Roadmap to easing Queensland’s restrictions,” says the Queensland Government’s guidelines. “Stage 3 criteria includes no confirmed COVID-19 cases in a community. Approved plans, testing regimes and a clear rapid response framework need to be in place for the community.” The Queensland Premier’s decision to remain closed comes as Queensland records several days with z ero coronavirus cases, and just three active cases across the state. The Weekly has featured pleas from residents, businesses and politicians to open the border and ease the burden on businesses, individuals and families who have been kept apart since the closure in March. “We understand that businesses are doing it tough, I understand that, I speak to people regularly, they write in to me, they send emails, I’ve been there

firsthand,” the premier told reporters last week. “We’re in Stage 2, in Stage 2 it does not talk about interstate travel, I have made it absolutely clear that we’ll be looking at that at the end of the month as we enter stage three.” Ms Palaszczuk says the slowdown in cases in NSW is good news, but not enough to convince her to reopen the border. So far this week, NSW has reported four new coronavirus cases from local transmission while no new cases were detected last week.

By Jonathon Howard GOLD COAST Airport passenger numbers dropped by more than 99 per cent in May, with almost 470,000 fewer visitors and locals coming through the airport last month – as the border closure stays in place and travel restrictions continue. Preliminary numbers from the Gold Coast Airport showed that about 2,000 people passed through the airport last month compared to 471,409 in May last year. Queensland Airports Limited CEO Chris Mills said there would be no real recovery for the airport and for the Gold Coast’s tourism industry until the state border was reopened and the valuable

NSW and Victorian visitor markets returned. “Whilst opening up the Gold Coast to intrastate tourism is a positive step, in 2019 day-trip visitors contributed just 15 per cent of the $5.9 billion in economic benefit that tourism delivers for the Gold Coast,” he said. “We have no intrastate flights in and out of Gold Coast Airport and things won’t change for the airport, or in any significant way for the tourism sector we support, until flights restart to Melbourne and increase to Sydney.” Mr Mills said until a date was set for the border reopening, the pain would continue for the tourism sector. Meanwhile, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the NSW Nationals will

invest $375,000 for design work to improve road safety at the border crossing between Queensland and NSW. “Given that the Gold Coast Airport is mostly in NSW, it’s only fair that NSW residents have easy access without having to take a longer route via the Queensland side of the border,” Mr Provest said. “The grant made available from the NSW Cross-Border Commissioner’s Infrastructure Fund will progress design work on the NSW Southern Entryway project at Coolangatta.” The project involves the construction of an intersection on the Gold Coast Highway and will serve as a second access point within NSW.

Shark alarm triggers mass exit from Kingscliff Principals: Peter Grant & Stuart Brady

cleared the water pretty fast,” Mr Lethbridge said. “From what I heard, the smart buoy at Cudgen sent the signal that there was a tagged white shark within the vicinity; that’s anywhere within a 500 metre radius so it can be in towards shore or out to sea. “There were club members here at the club getting ready to open the bar so they raised the shark alarm.

“That cleared the water and I believe everyone was pretty fast getting out. “There is obviously a heightened sense of alertness at the moment. “With the increased marine life and people now on high alert, when you set the alarm off people will vacate the water really quickly.” Authorities do not believe the shark which attacked Mr Pedretti was tagged.

By Jo Kennett A TAGGED white shark was recently detected off Kingscliff Main Beach, triggering a shark alarm and a mass exodus of swimmers and surfers from the water on Friday, June 12. Ocean-users were on high alert following the death of Rob Pedretti at Salt Beach in a shark attack on Sunday, June 7. The shark was detected in the vicinity of the buoy which lies offshore from the Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club at 11.29am. Australian Lifeguard Service Tweed Lifeguard Supervisor Brent Lethbridge said lifeguards sounded the shark alarm with some beachgoers saying they had never seen the water clear so fast. “I was working on the beach in Byron at the time but I heard that everyone

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Our community needs to have their eyes wide open, as we have not only a hospital that is being built on our precious State Significant Farmland (when there were better alternative sites), which is putting much pressure on the need in the future for more of the surrounding State Significant Farmland to be acquired for medical facilities. But we also have a hospital being built that will not meet the community’s needs, and is not what the community voted for. Very disappointing. Karina Hall, Kingscliff

Letter of the Week

CONGRATULATIONS JAN LOBBAN You have won a double pass* to the film of your choice

Is hospital value for money?

*Redeemable for 1 month from publication date

Sharks and ladders

John Fihelly, (Letters, June 11, ‘Shark will have taste for blood’) might be interested to know that while sharks kill an average of 2.3 Australian per year, according to ABS figures, falls from ladders kill almost 14 times that number. So instead of wasting money on shark nets, let’s ban ladders from all construction sites, backyards, libraries and the roof-racks of tradies’ vans. And incidentally, any ichthyologist will attest that the notion of sharks acquiring a “taste” for human blood is absolute twaddle. Jeremy Cornford, Kingscliff

Bray Park Weir concerns

Is ‘sea level anomaly’ code for climate change and global warming? Without being unkind, the phrase ‘weasel words’ spring to mind. The third anniversary of the 2017 shutdown of water production approaches and yet again a decision in this matter is deferred. Māris Bruzgulis, Murwillumbah

Broken promises

In response to the article in last week’s edition of the Tweed Valley Weekly ‘Call for pause on new hospital after capacity concerns’, I would like to applaud the courage that Dr Lindley-Jones had to call out the government for not providing the hospital that our community were promised at the March election 2019. Geoff Provest in this article said that he dismissed the former Relocate Team’s views, as he believed the Tweed Shire had spoken with their votes. I would like to question Geoff Provest then to ask why he is not delivering the hospital that the Tweed Shire community voted for, which was a 450-bed hospital (not the 350 beds we are getting) with high tech equipment and facilities that they were initially promised to Dr Lindley-Jones and the Tweed community?

The new Tweed Valley Hospital has received development consent granted under the NSW Government’s newly devised Planning System Acceleration Program, which allows fast-tracking of approvals. The controversial site choice announcement was over two years ago, but there were many environmental concerns and non-compliant aspects of the Development Application which until now prevented approval by NSW Planning. Fast-tracking seems to have bypassed those concerns. When the new hospital opens, currently claimed to be in 2023, there’ll be only 110 more beds than the current hospital already has. Concerned medical staff now tell us its clinical services will fall well short of what was promised, and its capacity won’t even have kept pace with population growth. Those 110 beds cost the community over half a billion dollars, the cracking open of protected farmland on the Cudgen plateau and probably the undoing of Kingscliff ’s long defended three-storey height limit. Thoughtful people will draw their own conclusions. Alma McAllister, Kingscliff

5G not linked to bird deaths

Menkit Prince thinks radio waves might be killing lorikeets (Letters, June 11, ‘Is 5G killing birds?’). It’s a virus. It called clenched foot syndrome, not ‘suffocation, similar to when 5G is radiated around 60GHz’ syndrome. There are plenty of records of mass bird deaths hundreds of kilometres from any 5G tower and well over a century before the invention of mobile phones. If Ms Prince wants to help these birds, forget conspiracy theories, tell people not to feed them. The virus spreads like COVID-19 and lorikeets are hopeless at social distancing, so don’t make matters worse. I checked her recommended website for scientific research. Almost all relates to what has been

known for years. If you spend a lot of time with a mobile phone plastered to your head, you may well develop tumours in there. It has nothing to do with the type of towers transmitting your calls. Rather than spend so much time on the 5G bogeyman, how about educating people on the real danger. The universe has been bathed in radio waves since the Big Bang. There are plenty of things that need fixing on this planet more worthy of your time and passion than this. Alan Watterson, Hastings Point

No evidence for border closure

I have absolutely no doubt I am not alone in wanting to see the Queensland border opened well before September. Many people residing in the Tweed Shire have family and friends living in Queensland, especially the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, we have been unable to visit our friends and family members for a number of months now. I am a big supporter of evidence based, well-considered decision making. Unfortunately, we have not seen any of the evidence being used by Queensland’s Chief Health Officer (CHO) to advise the Premier to keep the border closed. For example, much concern has been expressed by the Premier and CHO about community transmission rates of COVID-19 down south, however the recent data from NSW and even Victoria does not support the notion of there being such a transmission issue. Even the Commonweath’s own Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly said on Wednesday, May 20: “From a medical point of view I can’t see why the borders are still closed.” During this pandemic, the Australian public have had lots of statements thrown at us by the political class without presentation of evidence to back up such statements. We have all done a great job in heeding the advice provided and have dutifully done what we have been told for many weeks now. This blind obedience cannot continue indefinitely. The Queensland Government’s own Roadmap for COVID-19 restriction easing points to border restrictions being reviewed at each phase and interstate travel up for consideration by July 10. No mention of September anywhere in the Roadmap document. For many of us living in border communities, the actual physical border has meant nothing until now. Of course it certainly has not

stopped the many Queenslanders who cross over into the Tweed Shire on a daily basis from hitting our beaches and shopping in our establishments – based on the number of Queensland number plates present in Tweed car parks. The economic impact to everyday Queenslanders from the border closure is very real. Time for Queensland to take an Australian approach and end this flawed decision and open the border now. We are all in this together. Joe Franzi, Banora Point

How to defeat racism

Like many others in the community I am ashamed of Australia’s record in caring for its Indigenous community. It is appalling that Australia’s rate of Indigenous deaths in custody is proportionally higher than in the USA. How can this still be in 2020? Why are we letting it happen? I think our leaders are getting it wrong when they focus solely on the health risks for people gathering in protest groups around Black Lives Matter. People in the Tweed and across Australia care about this issue and are making our views heard. We want to be listened to but it seems that we aren’t. Our political leaders’ messages, while passionate about stopping a new surge in coronavirus cases, ignore or gloss over the real issue of deaths, discrimination and harassment of First Nations people here in Australia – and happening right now. I f o n ly o u r l e a d e r s wo u l d acknowledge that racism and discrimination is real, it exists, it happens every day and needs to be acted on, and now. At the very least, if only they would stand up and say that they do commit to acting on recommendations from the Royal Commissions into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the 2017 Law Reform Commission Report, and to showing a real commitment to addressing the Uluru Statement from the Heart. And to our Tweed politicians and The Weekly, why not start a community conversation on this issue? Help us understand what we as individuals and a Tweed community must do to stop racism. Jan Lobban, Tyalgum

History being buried

Why are statues being pulled down? How do those actions improve history? Perhaps rewriting the plaques on those statues to tell the whole story, the good and the bad, would be better. Tourists often read these things but if the statues are not

there with their stories then that is knowledge missed. If the statues are gone then the local museum or historical society may not feature that subject. The knowledge may be buried (not lost) because of popular sentiment. How can creating ignorance be a good thing? Bev Fairley, Kynnumboon

Let’s show some common sense

We might not be proud of what our ancestors have done – or even what we ourselves have done in the past – but that is where it is: in the past. You can’t change it. You can’t wipe it out, pretend it didn’t happen. The best you can do is learn from it. That is the real benefit of studying history: it helps us to avoid the mistakes of the past. To ban books and films which portray slavery is ridiculous. We don’t support what they did in the past when we enjoy reading or watching something. Burning books, banning films, tearing down statues is just violence and achieves nothing good. We appreciate that ‘Gone With the Wind’ is a classic book and film set in a time which we hope no longer exists. What is next? Are those misguided people going to ban ‘The Help’ or ‘The Green Book’, both excellent films. As for calling Chris Lilley a racist, nothing could be further from the truth, in my humble opinion. Most of his characters are over-the-top stereotypes and I think he is poking fun at the racist critics themselves when he portrays Jonah from Tonga. They are the ones who see Jonah’s skin colour and focus on it. Chris, as himself, is tolerant, respectful, decent, kind, considerate – nothing like his characters or his critics. As a teacher, I met many difficult teenagers of all colours, shapes and sizes. It would have been silly to look at their skin colour. Let’s hope those who think ignorance is better than knowledge come to their senses. And by the way, that includes all those who are putting everyone at risk by holding mass rallies in support of their causes. We might support you but not the actions you are taking at this very difficult time.

Health board rejects pausing hospital build

Rebates Still Available!

WANT SOLAR? INSTALLED IN 30 DAYS

GUARANTEED! Works are well underway at the new hospital site with Member for Tweed Geoﬀ Provest inspecting the site’s progress (inset)

“Early works construction continues on site, and with the Department of Planning recently announcing the fasttracking of the Stage 2 State Significant Development Planning Application, the new facility is on track to open in 2023,” Mr Jones said. “We continue to work closely with the Medical Staff Council as part of the consultation and planning process, and their input in designing this new facility to date is greatly valued.” Mr Jones said the Tweed Valley Hospital was the largest health capital investment in regional NSW history, and would “provide a new referral hospital to deliver expanded health services for local communities in the Tweed and Byron Local Government Areas”. “After extensive consultation with the local community and hospital staff, the NSW Government recently announced an additional $91.2 million, bringing the total project to $673.2 million,” Mr Jones said.

“The new hospital is being designed to provide for the health care needs of these communities to 2032 and beyond, looking at residential population, demographics and health care projections over the coming years. “The Tweed Valley Hospital will operate as part of the Tweed-Byron Health Network, and the new services will mean that more than 5,000 people each year will no longer need to travel outside the region to receive life-saving treatments. “New and expanded services will include a new cardiology intervention service, new radiation oncology services, expanded operating theatre capacity, expanded emergency department, enhanced medical, surgical and mental health services, and additional beds. “The site has adequate space for the hospital buildings to be expanded and renewed over time to meet future demand, without disruption to hospital services.”

By Jo Kennett THE HEAD of the local health board says they do not support a pause in the construction of the new Tweed Valley Hospital suggested by a doctor on the project’s advisory committee, amid concerns the hospital would be at capacity a year after opening. The response came after The Tweed Hospital’s Medical Staff Council co-chair Dr Mike Lindley-Jones told the ABC he wanted the building paused until there was sufficient funding to provide enough beds and services for at least the next decade. Calls for a pause on the hospital came just days before the final plans for the $673.2 million Tweed Valley Hospital were given the green light on Friday, June 12, by the NSW Government, paving the way for the main building works to begin. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said planning approval of the final hospital design, buildings and landscaping works were a significant milestone in delivering the facility. “This hospital will be transformational for our community, and mean more than 5,000 people each year will no longer need to travel outside the Tweed region to receive life-saving treatments,” Mr Provest said. “Main works construction can now begin on this fantastic new hospital that will be open to patients in 2023.” In response to questions from The Weekly regarding Dr Lindley-Jones, Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) Chief Executive Wayne Jones said the NNSWLHD “does not support a delay in building the hospital, which would only serve to hold back the delivery of much-needed services for the local community.”

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Strata ruling conﬁrms power to ban pets

A significant new ruling by the tribunal overseeing strata laws has ruled that strata committees have the power to ban pets from a building, overturning the previous position that pets should be allowed. The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal ruled on 27 May that the residents in two of Sydney’s largest apartment towers can, through strata committee bylaws, ban every resident from bringing a pet into the building. The case was brought before three senior members of the tribunal, including the president and deputy president, on appeal by the strata committees after losing earlier cases seeking the pet ban. Merrill Phillips, award-winning certified practising conveyancer at Stacks Law Firm, said the decision is highly significant for anyone considering moving into an apartment block. “This decision on pets highlights the importance for anyone thinking about buying or renting an apartment to examine the strata bylaws to make sure they suit their lifestyle,” Ms Phillips said. “It confirms strata committees can ban people from having pets in their homes. It also means strata bylaws can limit other aspects of how you live inside your home, including smoking, overcrowding, parties, short term letting, balcony barbecues or hanging up washing.” Ms Phillips said the tribunal’s ruling demonstrates that despite the much promised “pet friendly” changes to strata legislation, pets are still not automatically permitted in strata schemes. Section 139 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 says a bylaw “must not be harsh, unconscionable or oppressive”. Children can’t be banned, nor can assistance animals. Section 157 and 158 says an owners corporation cannot “unreasonably withhold consent to keeping an animal”, but if the animal causes a nuisance or hazard, it can be removed. The tribunal said these sections support the view that a bylaw prohibiting the keeping of animals is permissible and is not harsh, unconscionable or oppressive. While the apartment tower battle was over dogs, the dog supporters pointed out the bylaws can also apply to goldfish and even live oysters brought home for dinner. Supporters of the pet ban hailed the tribunal’s decision as a victory for democracy, as 81 per cent of apartment owners voted for the ban. “It would be wise to get legal advice before you start investing your money in a home covered by a strata scheme, to make sure you are aware of all the bylaws that will have an effect on your happiness living there, no matter how attractive the apartment might appear,” Ms Phillips said.

Councillors debate smart drumlines to address shark fears

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Councillors are interested in seeing smart drumlines installed along the Tweed Coast along with more drones to help prevent shark attacks. Salt SLSC member, Councillor James Owen, said the key was “as many eyes on the water as possible”. “Whether it’s from the water, the sky, on the beach, the more you can see what’s going on and the longer periods you can do that, the better chance you have to reduce shark attacks or drownings,” Cr Owens said. “Smart drumlines have been used effectively at places like Ballina to tag sharks and release them. “I’m supportive of that because the advice is they don’t harm marine life in the way that nets do.” Cr Owen said he didn’t support the use of nets in the Tweed and that the NSW Government was not pursuing a netting program. “Speaking to the (Salt SLSC) club president after the attack he said he would love to have a drone at the club,” Cr Owen said. “At the moment, we have one that works between the clubs, but ideally we would have a drone for Fingal, Cudgen, Salt and Cabarita.The key is having qualified operators.” Cr Owen said it would be good to extend lifeguard hours both during the summer season and outside of it. “The attack that happened here was out of season,” he said. “Would anything really have been able to save that gentlemen? Probably not, and even if we had a drone here, would that drone have been up? They would be particularly around the flagged areas. “There is a buoy off Kingscliff Beach that puts out an alert if a tagged shark is in the vicinity.” Cr Owen said smart drumlines capture sharks and an alarm goes off when it’s captured. “It’s not on the hook for longer than necessary,” he said. “They will go straight out and tag it, and take it off the hook, and let it go, and then when it swims within 500 metres of the buoy, an alert will go out.” Cr Owen said he thought it would be a good idea for the Tweed to have more buoys, as the Tweed Shire currently only has one off Kingscliff Main Beach. “You are never going to tag every shark out there, but you are learning about their behavior,” he said.

Cr James Owen is calling for support to install smart drumlines oﬀ the Tweed Coast

“The more we can understand what makes them tick the better. “From what I’ve heard, the shark that attacked Mr Pedretti was acting in a very unusual way, unusual even to the fisheries people, the erratic way it was swimming in the shallows, and it was quite persistent and didn’t leave the people alone. “For whatever reason, this shark was excited and agitated and we may never know why, but if it was caught and tagged and observed for a period then it could tell us a hell of a lot. “The shark that attacked Mr Pedretti wasn’t tagged from what I’ve heard.” Mayor Katie Milne is not in favour of smart drumlines. “I really feel for the family and the community that supported Mr Pedretti during that terrible time,” Mayor Milne said. “The Tweed Shire is well recognised for being a very environmentally conscious shire. “There is the option that if people want to surf in an area with shark nets and drumlines they can go to the Gold Coast. “My understanding is that wildlife can get caught on the drumlines and in times such as when the weather is rough it can be impossible to go out and release marine animals from the hooks. “We are an internationally significant environment and the caldera extends into the ocean, the marine environment, and we are incredibly privileged to live in such an environment. “It’s very difficult to eliminate the risks without severely impacting the environment. “We have to accept some risks if we want to enjoy a healthy marine environment. “People can surf at the Gold Coast if they are really worried.”

Councillor Warren Polglase agreed that smart drumlines could help. “It’s contentious but if it can assist in saving lives I would support it,” Cr Polglase told The Weekly. “I think it has more benefits than negatives.” Cr Cooper said he supported drumlines for tagging. “I certainly wouldn’t support netting,” he said. “I certainly wouldn’t support drumlines for catching and killing. “It’s worth doing if it’s a means of assessing where sharks are likely to be.” Councillor Reece Byrnes said he hopes the tragedy that occurred in the waters off Kingscliff never happens again. “I believe it is important to stick to the science and most current applications of dealing with the presence of sharks in our waters,” Cr Byrnes said. “At this time, some evidence seems to support the use of smart drumlines for the effective spotting and relocation of sharks. “Given what has occurred in other shires to our south (Ballina) I would certainly support a trial of smart drumlines. “I also believe we need to work with the experts and local stakeholders such as our Surf Life Saving Clubs on the best way forward.” S u r f L i f e S av i n g ( S L S ) N S W Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (drone) Operations Coordinator and Chief Pilot Paul Hardy said SLS NSW was working with local branches to train pilots and have more drones available. “Recently we developed our own internal training package which will make it more cost effective. “We are here for the safety of the public and will work with emergency services and land managers to deliver public safety services along the coastline.”

Help for those doing it tough in our community While things in the community are starting to return to some kind of new normal, many people are still facing significant hardships. The Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre and Murwillumbah Community Centre are vital community hubs providing support, emergency food and assistance to those who need it most. These two important services operate out of Council facilities and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the demands on their services has drastically increased and are unlikely to decrease anytime soon. To keep these vital community support services operating, the organisations are asking for donations of food and essential items such as fresh fruit and vegetables, non-perishable food items, monetary donations, grocery gift cards, sanitiser, nappies and feminine hygiene products. The community can donate directly to the Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre or for more information, visit www.pbnc.org.au Donations can also be dropped off at the Murwillumbah Community Centre. For further information and for drop off times phone 02 6672 3003 or visit mccentre.org.au

In recent weeks, there has been a gradual easing of restrictions put in place by the NSW Government in response to the state's success in managing COVID-19. As the situation evolves, the sport of swimming will slowly return to normal. Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres (TRAC) has reopened some facilities with restrictions in place. Due to the current limitations on indoor pools, group exercise aqua programs will not commence until further notice. For more information on TRAC’s facilities visit trac.tweed.nsw.gov.au In the meantime, the TRAC fitness instructor Susi Thomas has pulled together seven of her favourite stretches to get you going. Gentle stretching before and after exercise, or even just before going for a walk, is important to minimise strain and injury. Susi said everybody benefits from warming up and keeping their muscles and joints flexible. “Stretching should be done with gentle pressure, no force, just hold the stretch, relax into it and breathe slowly and deeply for 10 to 30 seconds,” she said. “The benefits are improved flexibility, reduced tightness and the ability to minimise strain and damage to your muscles, joints and ligaments, making your walk or workout safer. “Look after your body, it’s the only one you have.” To view all the stretches and be informed of the latest reopening news follow TRAC’s on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TweedRegionalAquaticCentre

Welcome to Tweed JUNKtion – Tip Shop Treasures

Council’s Waste Education Officer Tarra Martel at the Tweed JUNKtion Tip Shop with some of the great items available.

Naming of a public road Notice is hereby given that Tweed Shire Council, in pursuance of section 162 of the Roads Act 1993 has approved the renaming of Seven Oaks Road to: Seven Oaks Drive

Tweed Shire Council’s Tip Shop at the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre is open once again with a new name ‘Tweed JUNKtion – Tip Shop Treasures’. The Tip Shop closed in March due to COVID-19 restrictions and now with the reopening, Tweed JUNKtion fans and community members can still expect the same great quality second-hand items at bargain prices. Additional rules now in place at the Tweed JUNKtion as per NSW Health regulations: • 20 customers maximum allowed in store at one time • maintaining distance of two arm’s lengths or 1.5m from others • practicing good hand hygiene • taking extra care if you're around vulnerable people • stay home if you are feeling unwell, even if you only have mild symptoms.

Within the first five months of Council operating the Tip Shop from November 2019 to April 2020, 6,175 customers recycled or reused items from the facility. This ‘less to landfill’ initiative from Council has saved 108.72 tonnes or the equivalent weight of 63 Holden Commodores from going to landfill just in this short period of time. The Tweed JUNKtion – Tip Shop Treasures is open Wednesday to Friday from 8.30am to 3pm and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. Visiting the shop during typically quieter times such as midday or in the afternoon is preferred to avoid longer line-ups and wait times.

Illegal dumper slapped with $2,500 fine the approaches to costal reserves, with the intention of investigating each incident and interviewing the alleged offenders. “Council hopes the issuing of penalty infringement notices for illegal dumping serves as both a warning and a deterrent to would-be offenders. People who carry out premeditated illegal dumping activities are now less likely to get away with the offence and more likely to be identified, interviewed and fined.” Council Environmental Health Officers and Rangers can issue on-the-spot fines of $2,000, $4,000 and $8,000. Maximum penalties up to $250,000 for individuals and $1 million for corporations can apply. Illegally dumped waste is costly to clean up, can cause health concerns for both the offenders and the community, and can also cause environmental hazards. The illegal dumping hotspot intervention project is a NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment Waste Less Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.

Man charged with high range drink driving

TWEED POLICE continue to deal with a spate of drink drivers including one high range case who slammed his vehicle into a tree on Saturday, June 13. Police said it was about 2.35pm when a 51-year-old man, driving a red Ford Falcon, out of the carpark at Budd Park and travelled west on Alma Street, South Murwillumbah. “In doing so, the accused has lost control of his vehicle and collided head-on with a tree on the left side of the road,” police said. “A short time later, police drove across the accident and spoke to the accused and he stated he was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident.”

Police warn against gel blasters after house raid TWEED POLICE want to remind residents not to purchase gel blaster firearms in NSW without a permit, after two Tweed Heads residents were busted with six replica firearms (gel blasters) that are legal in Queensland but remain illegal without a permit in NSW. Police said it was about 1.30pm on Friday, June 12, when officers from the Tweed Byron Proactive Crime Team, with the assistance of the Region Enforcement Squad, searched a Margaret Street residence at Tweed Heads. During the search, police found six gel blaster firearms as well as methylamphetamine and cannabis inside a bedroom. “A 28-year-old male and a 26-year-old female were arrested at the scene and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station,” police said. Both the male and female were charged with six counts of possession of an unauthorised firearm, possessing unregistered firearms,

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council is continuing to crack down on illegal dumping issuing a $2,500 penalty infringement for a recent dumping incident and as part of a new program targeting dumping hot spots. Earlier this year, in partnership with North East Waste, Council began working on an illegal dumping hotspot intervention project, increasing surveillance and installing multiple signs across the Tweed to alert the community that on-the-spot fines can be issued by Council to offenders caught dumping waste illegally. Environmental Health Officer Kelly Piazza said Council issued a $2,000 penalty infringement notice for illegal dumping earlier this month after receiving information leading to a suspect who was interviewed in relation to the offence. “We are currently investigating a second case of illegal dumping which, depending on the outcome of our investigations, could attract a similar or larger penalty infringement notice,” Ms Piazza said. “We will continue to monitor illegally dumped waste left behind on road sides, laneways, waterways, bushland and on

By Jonathon Howard A BIZARRE hijacking attempt took place on Darlington Drive at Banora Point on Friday, June 12, after a man jumped into a stranger’s vehicle and using a knife, demanded they “drive”. Tweed Police said it was about 8.50am when the victims, a 21-year-old man and a 19-yearold woman, left their home to drive to an appointment. The pair walked towards their driveway to their car, which was parked on the street. Police said the woman opened the front passenger side door and got inside while the man walked to the rear driver’s side door to put his bags in. “Whilst he was putting his bags in the car, he saw the accused a 30-year-old male, walking towards the car,” police said. Without warning, the 30-year-old opened the rear passenger side door and jumped in the back seat. The male victim told the accused to “get out”, but the man pulled out a small blackhandled, silver-bladed knife from his pocket. “He pointed the knife at the driver and said ‘drive’,” police said.

“The accused then pointed the knife at the female and said ‘drive’.” In fear for their safety, they both exited the vehicle and ran down their driveway. The knife-wielding man followed the pair and when at the gate he yelled “drop the keys”. “The accused was still pointing the knife towards the victims,” police said. The male victim went out onto the street and saw the stranger leaning in the front driver’s side door of his car. The victim immediately contacted police who attended and surrounded the area and located the accused in the car park behind the Banora Shopping Village. He was arrested and taken to Tweed Police Station. “A search of the surrounding area located a black-handled, silver-bladed knife in a bush, a short distance from the victim’s house,” police said. The man was charged with aggravated assault with intent. He was refused bail and will appeared before Tweed Heads Local Court on Tuesday, June 16.

A MAN, who claimed he was “mixing his dinner” while driving, has attracted the attention of Tweed Police who later uncovered an extensive array of illegal drugs and more than $100,000 in cash inside the man’s car on Friday, June 12. Police pulled over a Holden Equinox over on Kennedy Drive at around 7pm, after officers noticed the car was being driven in an unusual manner. Police spoke to the driver, a 47-year-old man, who told them he was mixing his dinner while driving. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, officers allegedly seized 600 MDMA tablets, 25g of liquid LSD, 600 tablets of LSD, eight grams of cocaine, 122 grams of cannabis and $106,000 in cash.

The passenger, a 22-year-old woman, was also allegedly found in possession of drugs. The pair were arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. The man was charged with supply prohibited drug (large commercial quantity), supply prohibited drug (commercial quantity x2), supply prohibited drug (between indictable and commercial quantity), supply prohibited drug (between small and indictable quantity), knowingly deal with proceeds of crime, and deal with property proceeds of crime. He was refused bail and appeared before Lismore Local Court on Saturday, June 13. The woman was charged with resisting an officer in execution of duty and two counts of possessing a prohibited drug. She was granted bail and will appear before Tweed Heads Local court on Monday, July 13.

TWEED POLICE are appealing for information to track down an aggressive patron who spat on a security guard after she was ejected from the Ivory Tavern at Tweed Heads on Friday, June 12.

Suddenly, the woman lunged towards the patron and threatened her with a pool cue. The security guard physically restrained the woman and ushered her towards the front door and ejected her from the premises.

Police said the woman left the premises with a female acquaintance and began walking away from the victim. “The woman (person of interest) has turned around, walked back towards the victim (security guard) and spat on the victim’s right arm,” police said. “The POI has entered the passenger’s seat of a white Holden Commodore utility (NSW) plates and driven away from the premises. “Police are reviewing CCTV footage of the incident to identify the POI.” Anyone with information as to her identity or witnessed the assault please contact Tweed Heads Police Station on (07) 5506 9499.

By Jo Kennett FIRE AND Rescue NSW Banora Point has two new recruits and they are keen to get out there and on the job. Deputy Captain Jamie Bowe said firefighters Sophie Longworth and Cody Carroll were “very welcomed members to our great team”. “They’re both registered nurses, so their medical knowledge is very beneficial to us; as advanced first aid and basic life support are requirements as firefighters,” Jamie told the Weekly. “They completed their training course on Sunday the 7th of June, and are now able to respond to emergencies on our pumper as on-call firefighters. “On-call firefighters are normal members of our community that respond to emergencies as required from their workplace or residence. “As we operate 24/7, it can be demanding, however the reward is high and our crew take great satisfaction out of helping the community we reside in.” Sophie said the training experience “was incredible.” “The education surrounding what we will be experiencing on the job in conjunction with the skills and tools the instructors gave us have assisted in laying the foundations to what I hope will be a long career with Fire and Rescue NSW,” she said. “As cliche as it may be, I am very excited to be a part of the crew that jumps on the truck when the sirens go off. “As I’ve already experienced time at my station, the crew are like a family and I just look forward to going out and helping the community with them.” Sophie has some advice for others thinking about joining up.

New recruits Sophie Longworth and Cody Carroll

“If you’re hesitant or nervous to think about joining, you shouldn’t be,” she said. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made. “For the couple of months I’ve been a part of Fire and Rescue NSW I’ve already learnt so much and met so many exceptional people.” Cody said there were challenges with the training, which included breathing apparatus assessments, hose handling, door entry, gas detection “and of course the hot cell”. “I think the biggest challenge was getting used to wearing the breathing apparatus and becoming comfortable with its operation,” he said. “I remember the first time I donned it, I had the feeling of claustrophobia when breathing and wearing the mask, but during phase one and two of my training, I began to feel far more comfortable

with its operation and the feeling of claustrophobia was no longer present. “Being able to put learnt theory to practice and experiencing all these new challenges was the most rewarding part of the training.” Cody said he was looking forward to applying and improving his training skills during operational duty. “That includes radio operations, hose handling, gas cooling, door entry, gas detection, thermal imaging camera use, search and rescue and much more,” he said. Cody said he was glad he had decided to become a firefighter. “I would certainly recommend it,” he said. “It has been one of the best learning experiences I’ve had and I personally love what I do.”

Outrage over postage changes FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot has slammed the Federal Government for changes to Australia Post’s service standards, which means cuts to local mail delivery services and cuts to local jobs. Mrs Elliot said the North Coast is set to be hardest hit by the new regulations, which means that mail delivery will now blow out from three to seven business days. “Regional communities like ours across the North Coast already wait longer than those in the cities for their mail, and changes recently announced by the government will push those wait times out even further,” she said. “These changes will affect everyone who relies on Australia Post. It will particularly affect the elderly in our region who will be most disadvantaged by these cuts to mail delivery services.” Mrs Elliot said many seniors are not on the internet and they instead rely on the mail for their letters, cards and bills. “Now, due to government cuts, they’ll be waiting longer for important correspondence. The fact is the mail is often a lifeline for our seniors,” she said. “People in our regional and rural communities still rely on the postal service more than many other types of services. “Australia Post service standards are fundamental and for the benefit of all Australians.” Under the government’s plan, mail delivery across the North Coast will be extended from three business days to seven full days. “These changes will slash the frequency of postie delivery rounds and puts the jobs of up to one in four posties at risk,” she said. “At a time of economic downturns across regional Australia, this government is now slashing jobs and services. “Labor will continue to fight this government’s proposed changes to Australia Post regulations every step of the way – we will fight for regional Australia unlike the Liberals and Nationals.”

groups, it’s a result of people’s hard work,” she said. “The sand mining in the 1950s and ‘60s destroyed everything and the sand miners planted South African bitou bush to stabilise the dunes. “The Dunecare groups got rid of that and other weeds and then started reestablishing what was originally here. “Dunal vegetation at Casuarina and Salt had to be re-established as part of the development, but Fingal Head, Kingscliff, Cabarita, Hastings Point and Pottsville has all been done by volunteers. “All the DuneCare groups have been working for years, with Fingal Head it’s been 34 years, to reestablish this and it can all be lost just by someone lighting a camp or beach fire.” She said the risk of bushfires starting from beach fires was very high. “Most of our coastal beaches are flanked by bushland and it only takes a spark flying off a fire to set the bush alight. We are really nervous about that,” Ms Bolton said. “Abandoned fires usually have all sorts of rubbish littered around and in them, which is not only a mess but often also unsafe and we get sick of cleaning up the mess. “Then, last but not least, there is the safety aspect. “It’s probably more dangerous putting sand on top of fires because at least they are visible if uncovered.”

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

By Jo Kennett TWEED DUNECARE groups want to remind residents that fires are “totally banned” on the beach and on Crown Land, after a growing spate of beach fires along the coast recently. Fingal Head Coastcare’s Kay Bolton (pictured below) said she had spoken to other Dunecare coordinators who were concerned that people did not seem to know it was illegal at any time of the year. “I have had a number of calls from people on the Tweed Dunecare Coordinators Committee concerned with how bad the problem has been getting,” Ms Bolton told The Weekly “It’s lovely to have a fire in winter but it’s really concerning that there have been so many on our beaches lately.” Ms Bolton said that there were a number of major problems with lighting fires on the beach. “Firstly, the destruction of the bushland to collect firewood is a major concern and they don’t only collect dead wood, they rip down branches from trees,” she said. “Dead wood is really important for rotting down and providing nutrients for the soil to help plant growth and revegetation. “The area has lost minerals from sand mining and has really poor soil and all that rotting vegetation matter is really significant to keep our coastal bushland and dunal vegetation alive.” Ms Bolton said the bush along the coast was a major part of the Tweed Shire’s attraction. “You go to the beach and look up and see bush, not high-rises like the Gold Coast,” she said. “That’s one of the things that makes it so special and you also have all the birds and wildlife as well, it’s wonderful.” Ms Bolton said volunteers had put years of work into growing coastal bushland. “Most of the vegetation adjacent to Tweed Coast beaches has been planted by Dune Care

Tweed Coast businesses are kicking back into gear Donated trailer set to By Jo Kennett AFTER A difficult few months, Tweed Coast businesses are kicking back into gear, with many businesses already open and more reopening each week as government restrictions are eased. Whale watching, surfing lessons and community acupuncture are some of the latest businesses to reopen, though COVID-19 restrictions will see things run a little differently for the time being. Ja s o n Wa r m a n r u n s C o a s t a l Community Acupuncture at Cabarita and said coronavirus did not stop clients seeking his expertise. “We were going to close down for the last two weeks of March but from the first day we closed there were people ringing up who had put out their backs, their shoulders or their necks and weren’t sure if they should be going to the hospital with the COVID situation,” Mr Warman said. “I couldn’t say no so I did home visits for a week then I thought, I have a clinic, why not use it. “So then I was doing one-on-one appointments only. “My wife works in Murwillumbah, so I’d home school our three boys and then come here in the afternoon and treat clients for about five hours and that went for two months through April and May. “Life didn’t stop just because everyone’s businesses were dead. “People were still getting injured and anxiety was through the roof, so there was a lot of mental health and stress and people were concerned about immune systems and people were very grateful to get help. “It was really rewarding knowing we were still in a position to help people.” Monday, June 15, was the clinic’s first day back in community acupuncture but

some new practices are in place. “We normally have seven chairs so we can treat several patients at the same time which makes it more affordable, but we have moved chairs out of the room for better social distancing,” he said. “Now we have five and we have staggered appointments and we are also cleaning even more than we did previously.” Mr Warman said he hoped to keep the business much the same as before, within the restrictions. “We have also got rid of our sliding scale and decided to keep it at $40 a session and people can still use health funds,” he said. “We have adjusted the hours of business for winter as well.” Mr Warman is originally from Denver, USA, and said hearing from his family made him realise how lucky he was to be in Cabarita. “It doesn’t feel like much is going on here, but I talk to my family and they are so paranoid because they are opening up and the numbers haven’t even dropped,” he said. “We’re lucky to be in this country where

the government took action quickly. “We were in the perfect place for all this so we couldn’t be any luckier.” The coronavirus brought business to a halt at Salty Girls Surf School and operator Belen Kimble-Fuller said her team was “so excited” that weekly clinics and private coaching are back on. “We’re back to business with classes underway and social distancing in place,” Ms Kimble-Fuller said. “It’s so good to get Salty Girls back up and running with the group sessions. “We are so excited to bring the art and skill of wave riding to you all.” Coolangatta Whale Watch’s Stephen Hewitt said they were taking their first trip of the season out this week. “We usually start at the beginning of June but now is a really good time,” he said. “There are plenty of whales around at the moment. “There were a few that started migration early so hopefully we are in for a bumper season. “I’d love to know where Migaloo is and we will be keeping an eye out for him.”

MEMBERS OF the Murwillumbah Sporting Car Club (MSCC) helped to refurbish a car trailer that was kindly donated by Margaret Ealand, the wife of the late Roger Ealand, the visionary creator of the Festival of Speed on Tweed. Additional sponsorship to finance the task was provided by the NSW Office of Sport and D&L Cabinets Murwillumbah. At the first workshop, MSCC vice president Glenn Potter oversaw the working team which included David and Dillon, Murray Gartner, Dean, Ray, Barry Wearing and Rob Learmonth. “The COVID-19 virus has provided the club with time to get a number of tasks completed including the car trailer,” Mr Potter said. “The additional trailer will provide us with the flexibility to assist our members who wish to compete or need transport for unregistered race cars. “It will also be a valuable resource for our Young Driver Program.” The Saturday, July 13, workshop was conducted at Spinners garage who also provided the tools and facilities to undertake the task. MSCC president and Spinners owner Peter Clarke said it was good to see a roll up of members and the enthusiasm to get on with the job. “This new trailer means we can now take more vehicles, including racing vehicles, to meets outside the Tweed Shire as well as offering more vehicles for our Young Driver Program,” he said.

Concerns over Burringbar Memorial Arch has kept it under wraps

By Jonathon Howard BURRINGBAR RESIDENTS have waited patiently for a decision around the Centenary Arch at Burringbar Memorial Reserve and Masterton Park, which was officially opened on December 14, 2019, but has remained closed ever since. The Memorial Arch is in memory of the 32 diggers from Burringbar, killed in action in WWI, but was fenced off and covered following some public concerns with the arch. Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch President Phil Connor told The Weekly that several complaints about the arch were received by Tweed Shire Council, who erected the current safety fence and is working with two local parties to come to an agreement. “As the arch is still enclosed in the unsightly barricade, almost six months since its dedication, despite communicating repeatedly with the Tweed Shire Council, and being constantly asked why by community members, we are providing this information on the position of the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch,” Mr Connor said. “It seems the minority in the community is holding the RSL Sub-Branch to some sort of account, when they are not even RSL members.” Mr Connor said the arch was solely a project of the RSL Sub-Branch to commemorate its centenary on December 14 last year. “Designed, installed and paid for by the branch with the approval and cooperation of the Tweed Shire Council, who relocated a

picnic setting and the rubbish bins for the arch to be installed for the centenary, and also to draw attention to the avenue of memorial trees in the Burringbar Memorial Reserve/ Masterson Park,” he said. “Information displayed on the arch was obtained from the Tweed Regional Museum and RSL records. “Two issues have arisen due to a minor issue with stability of the arch, which the RSL has agreed to pay to rectify, the barricade was put up by the council after the dedication. “The Sub-Branch was told that Council engineers would design new footings, but the Sub-Branch has not yet seen them despite contacting Council many times. “Despite approval already having been given in August 2019 to the RSL Sub-Branch by the council and Burringbar Community Association (BCA), due to the opposition from several members regarding aspects of the arch, progress on the matter has been stymied.” BCA President Philip Taylor said the association is concerned that the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch’s installation does “not comply to either the Tweed Shire Council's policy regarding Memorials in Public Places and the NSW Department of Veterans’ Affairs policy on Additions to Existing War Memorials”. “It is noted that there are six separate memorial sites within Burringbar’s community park that acknowledge our war service history. BCA is concerned that the recognition of Samuel Masterson's contribution to the community, after whom the Park was originally

named, continues to be diminished," he said. “BCA stands by the fact that the RSSILA (forerunner to the RSL) did not exist at the time of the community-led initiative to plant trees for the fallen. This is not acknowledged in any interpretive information within the park at present.” Mr Taylor said the BCA was informed by Council staff that after the unveiling, the structure would be removed due to its noncompliance and safety concerns about the structure. “However, we are committed to working with all stakeholders to find a solution,” he said. The Weekly followed up the concerns with Council’s General Manager Troy Green, who provided a letter he had sent to both the BCA

and Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch at the start of June 2020. “Dear Burringbar Community Association and RSL Sub-Branch, I am writing to you with regard to the impasse between the Burringbar Community Association (BCA) and the Burringbar RSL Sub Branch (RSL) regarding the memorial archway installed by the RSL in Burringbar Memorial Reserve and Masterson Park,” Mr Green wrote. “A meeting had been organised in March including both organisations, Council and representatives from the NSWRSL to attempt to reach an agreed position. “Unfortunately, at this time COVID-19 restrictions were implemented that prevented the meeting from proceeding. “Council has since followed up with a conversation with NSWRSL

President Mr Ray James and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr Jon Black. “Mr Black and has kindly offered to intercede to attempt to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement between both organisations. “As the CEO, Mr Black is an employee of the RSL and nonmember and can approach the discussions with impartiality. “To that end, Mr Black will be contacting you shortly to commence discussions. “This issue has been playing out for some time and it would be to the benefit of all involved to reach an agreed position as soon as possible. “I trust that you will approach the discussions with Mr Black with an open mind and a view to compromise and pragmatism.”

Both Ms Willison and Peter Luff, the original horn player of the group, are excited that chamber music will once again fill the beautiful Tyalgum Hall. “It is important to us that we present a TMF this year that falls within the current guidelines,” she said. “This will involve fewer concerts, still held in the hall but during the day, with all the doors open for ventilation and audience numbers will be strictly limited. “Hand sanitiser will be on tap and chairs wiped down between concerts.

“Masks will be available for those who would prefer to use them and there will be a one-way system in and out of the hall.” The Limpinwood Ensemble were due to perform in Tyalgum back in April, which was cancelled. “Peter assures us that they will be back later in the year with a fabulous group of colleagues and an impressive programme of wind chamber music en mass,” she said. “This programme consisting of Mozart's 'Gran Partita' and Strauss Serenade is a treat for the musicians and audience alike. “Chamber music on this scale is rarely performed and it will be a concert not to be missed.”

Peter Luﬀ and Katharine Willison are gearing up for Tyalgum Music Festival

As for the festival, the musicians are excited to be preparing for a concert at long last. “The arts have been particularly hard hit over the last few months and musicians all over the world

have realised how much they value the interaction with their colleagues and audiences,” Ms Willison said. “We hope that the 2020 Tyalgum Music Festival will herald the start of live music across Australia.”

Rail Trail could be tourism win for Tweed Concerns rail line could be lost to developers

The Rail Trail received a boost recently

“Of course, the longer it all takes, the more expensive it becomes,” she said. “At a time when governments at all levels are looking at ways to assist communities recover from the current pandemic and the huge disruption it has caused to our lives and economies, projects that create jobs are of the highest priority. “The development of a rail trail is a brilliant job creation scheme not only for the jobs in planning and construction but in the longer term through opportunities from increased domestic and regional tourism. “This is the perfect time to get started on the rail trail.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said construction of the Tweed stage will support local jobs and attract tens of thousands of visitors each year when completed, which will help revitalise the small communities located on the Tweed stage. “The Northern Rivers region will benefit greatly from this rail trail, with the health benefits it will deliver and the tourism dollars it will generate, helping local communities travel further along on the long road to recovery,” Mr Barilaro said. “I thank Tweed Shire Council for its commitment to this project and very much look forward to visiting and enjoying a walk or ride along the Tweed Stage rail trail when it is completed.” Construction is expected to begin shortly after the legislative amendment is approved by NSW Parliament.

By Jonathon Howard NORTHERN RIVERS Railway Action Group (NRRAG) members say the future of public rail transport services are “being threatened” by a change of legislation being proposed to NSW Parliament. NRRAG members have long campaigned to retain the Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek rail line and have this week expressed concerns that the legislation change will “take away the current protection of the rail corridor for future rail transport needs”. NRRAG chairperson Beth Shelley said the reason for the legislation change is to develop the rail trail but she’s questioned why an offformation trail beside the rail line was not being considered. “Why does this have to happen when Tweed Shire Council said it would consider the option of putting the rail trail next to the track,” she said. “Rail trails don’t require a change in legislation and can be established without removing the region’s railway tracks. “We don’t know if the change will affect the whole corridor or not and if it does we could face the risk of the land being sold off in the future. “Once it becomes Crown land there is nothing to protect it from a sell-off by the State Government.” Ms Shelley is alleging “vested interests” from within the community that would like

to develop the railway land for commercial purposes. “And changing the legislation will give them the opportunity,” she said. “Byron is a potential gold mine because there’s a huge amount of rail land throughout Byron CBD.” With the success of the Byron Railway Company’s solar train, the Byron Shire Council has funded a study on the multi-use of the railway corridor. The Arcadis Group’s report indicated the existing tracks were in good condition and return of rail services essential. “NRRAG has developed a Northern Rivers Railway Restoration Briefing Paper which has been released to members of NSW Parliament,” Lydia Kindred, co-secretary of NRRAG, said. “This seeks their commitment to funding the re-activation of the Casino to Murwillumbah railway.” Ms Kindred said the Briefing Paper is canvasing the community to further identify the benefits of a public rail transport system while preparing a business case for the reactivation of the entire 132km railway line. “This would encourage domestic tourism, creating an extremely valuable infrastructure and transport asset for the region,” she said. The Briefing Paper states: “a safe and efficient public rail transport system could be a great project for economic stimulus funding in the Northern Rivers”.

Northern Rivers Railway Action Group are calling for a multi-use of the rail corridor

By Jonathon Howard THE NORTHERN Rivers Rail Trail could provide a vital source of local employment, according to rail trail advocate and local Marie Lawton, who has welcomed a recent funding boost for the project. Construction of the Tweed section of the proposed Northern Rivers Rail Trail is likely to begin in early 2021, after the NSW Government recently committed $7.8 million to the project. Tweed Shire Council welcomed the funding announcement from NSW Member for Tweed Geoff Provest, confirming funding from Restart NSW, which together with the $6.5 million already provided by the Commonwealth Government, is sufficient to complete detailed design and construct the shared-user path along the disused rail corridor from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek. “This announcement gives certainty both to Council and the adjacent landowners along the rail corridor allowing them to better plan for their future,” Council’s Rail Trail Director Iain Lonsdale said. Mr Provest advised that the legislation required to formally close the rail line was not likely to go through Parliament until later this year, due to the government’s more pressing need to manage the current coronavirus pandemic. “When the legislation is amended, Council will be ready to start work to build this longawaited recreation and tourism facility,” Mr Lonsdale said. “While we have been waiting on funding certainty, we have been gaining the licences and approvals needed to build the rail trail and are now in a position to consult further with the adjacent landowners and other stakeholders to finalise detailed design and get this project shovel ready for next year.” Mrs Lawton told The Weekly it was “great news” that the State Government has increased its funding to $7.8 million.

By Jonathon Howard THERE ARE fresh concerns coal seam gas (CSG) mining could be back on the table throughout the Northern Rivers including the Tweed Shire, according to Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin, after a key private members’ bill was voted down recently. Ms Saffin has slammed the NSW Nationals for voting against a private members’ bill that she said would have permanently protected the Northern Rivers from coal seam gas mining. Ms Saffin said the bill was a chance for communities such as the Tweed to breathe easy on CSG. The bill was to impose a moratorium on CSG, but was narrowly defeated in the NSW Parliament following a recent vote. “Byron Bay-based Parliamentary Secretary for Energy and the Arts Ben Franklin and his fellow Nationals did a 360-degree turn, hoping no one would notice and sought to turn the guns on others,” she said. Ms Saffin said the bill was due to be debated in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, June 4. “If these MPs are serious about protecting the Northern Rivers and North Coast they will vote for this bill,” Ms Saffin said. “In 2015 at The Nationals’ State Conference, Ben Franklin seconded a motion put by Chris Gulaptis, calling for the need to recognise widespread opposition to CSG and to buy back CSG licences. “Ben Franklin then warned that a solution was needed otherwise The Nationals could lose the seats on the Northern Rivers for a generation, and that “if we do not get this right the people of the Northern Rivers will not listen to us on anything else”. “You got that right Ben, as you lost another seat, Lismore in 2019 and went backwards, and the people of the Northern Rivers will never listen to you or your Nationals mates again. “You had the chance to protect the water, the farmers, the agricultural industry in the

Northern Rivers and Narrabri, and you ran away from it.” Ms Saffin is now calling on Mr Franklin to abandon his plans for a return of CSG. “Ben ‘Fracker’ Franklin should pack up his Byron Bay digs and head back to Sydney, because he has sealed his fate by putting city interests ahead of country people,” she said. Ms Saffin accused The Nationals of not being serious about protecting “our people, our water, our farmlands and our agricultural jobs in the Northern Rivers from the harmful effects of CSG”. “They are only serious about protecting their own jobs, whether it be the Deputy Premier spot or a seat they “claim” as theirs as of right,” Ms Saffin said. “They only reacted to electoral loss for them losing the state seat of Ballina and nearly losing Lismore in 2015. “It was not support and protection for us; it was ‘jobs’ protection for them. “I stood up against Metgasco when I researched and discovered the harmful effects of CSG mining. “I took it into the Federal Parliament and advocated hard to get whatever power the Federal Government had in this matter enacted to protect our water. “I helped secure ‘water trigger’ legislation which was subsequently weakened by the Abbott Government and The Nationals.” Ms Saffin said the Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment (Coal Seam Gas Moratorium) Bill 2019, has the following key elements: It imposes a moratorium on the prospecting for, or the mining of, coal seam gas across New South Wales. It applies no-go zones to particular areas deemed off limits, including the local government areas of the Northern Rivers region, drinking water catchments, national parks, residential areas and prime agricultural land. “Farmers want the permanent protections of this bill, locals want this, anyone who cares

about water wants this - that is all of us - the agricultural, fishing tourism sector want this,” she said. “I have advocated for a statewide CSG moratorium to my NSW Labor colleagues and indicated that I would cross the floor of Parliament if I had to. “The 2019 bill is similar to (NSW Shadow Minister for the North Coast and Shadow Minister for Climate Change) Adam Searle MLC’s 2015 bill so we (Labor) have a long history of standing up to protect the Northern Rivers. “I also moved a motion at NSW Labor’s State Conference to create no-go zones here on the Northern Rivers.”

NSW Farmers call for CSG pause

NSW FARMERS are urging the NSW Government to “press pause” on any proposal to recommence coal seam gas mining. NSW Farmers president James Jackson said in a media statement that the security of groundwater and other water sources is of “paramount importance to farmers, communities and local food and fibre production”. “Farmers fear that CSG projects such as the Narrabri Gas project could pose a significant risk to the precious Great Artesian Basin, and a precautionary approach is essential. “We need 100 percent certainty that there will be no impact on the basin. “It is especially concerning that a major farm insurer has now flagged that it will not insure

farmers for public liability if they have CSG infrastructure on their property. “This has left farmers in CSG hot spots wondering whether there is more to know about the risks of CSG development.” Mr Jackson said the association is not opposed to CSG and recognises the economic benefits for regional communities, provided that the projects do not put at risk our precious water sources, soil and air quality. “This is why our members are asking government to ensure that CSG development will not put their far ms at risk by commissioning a fully independent review of the risks posed by CSG development to the Great Artesian Basin and other water sources, and by implementing all of the recommendations of the Chief Scientist,” he said. “Prime Agricultural Land must be reserved for food and fibre production. “Use of this land for mining or other industrial purposes is short sighted and poses a grave risk Australia’s food security, and the rural and regional communities that depend on the farming sector. “Our members call on the NSW Government to ensure that any approval for coal seam gas development is informed by comprehensive ongoing independent baseline water, soil and air studies.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Are you concerned CSG could return to the Northern Rivers?

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are being encouraged to support local businesses when the Makers and Finders Market reopens this Saturday, June 20, at the newly renovated Knox Park and M|Arts Precinct in Murwillumbah. It comes as easing of COVID-19 restrictions enable more facilities to reopen including to iconic local market which was closed at the end of March. Market founder and manager Peita Gardiman said the resulting void meant many of the shire’s artisans were left without a place to sell their work. “As we’re starting to come out of restrictions now, we’re really wanting people to get back in touch with their local makers and producers – so if it’s local artist, local florist, local grower or your local jam maker – it’s really about reconnecting,” she said. “It’s not been an easy time and they are very keen to be back to serve you. “We’re excited to be able to provide this again and have the community come out. “Please support them and shop local to help them recover and return the market to a place where it’s a delight to visit, shop and socialise.”

TWEED HEADS AUCTIONS

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH HIGH School students have returned to school with some big ideas about what works best for learning and the school’s staff are listening. In an innovative approach to their education, student leaders were invited to survey the school community about what worked well during the remote learning lockdown due to coronavirus. The staff and students have then worked alongside the school’s executive to workshop the ideas to reshape the curriculum. As a result, every student has been allocated significant time for Student Directed Learning where they can extend their learning by undertaking projects they are passionate about. Alongside their traditional subjects students are provided with up to four hours per week to learn about their passions. Students are choosing an amazing range of learning activities including designing a tiny house, robotics, learning an instrument, learning to make a beanie or taking some time to do extra study of their core subjects.

The first projects will be showcased at the school’s annual Arts Week in August. The school’s Principal Peter Howes said it has been amazing to see how engaged and curious the students are as they take control of their learning. “By working on a topic they are passionate about, they are constantly reflecting on their learning strengths and yet-to-be strengths,” he said. “There are already signs that there is benefit to student learning carried over to their normal subjects. “Our staff are undertaking professional learning to support the shift in pedagogy. “Teachers are experts in learning, but now we are shifting our focus to become facilitators of learning. “We are working closely with students to build their confidence as learners and equip them with the skills they need to thrive in a dynamic and unpredictable world.” This is not the school’s first foray into innovation, after winning an award for their redesigned Year 7 and 8 curriculums focussing on Learning, Engagement, Agency and Passion (LEAP) in 2019.

Talking

In a further return to normality museums and art galleries have finally reopened, so this week I looked for a classic movie that has some connection with art galleries, and I chose Vertigo, the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock classic that everyone has probably seen at least once. However considering that it is another of those films that has consistently been on top of the list of best films ever made, it deserves at least another viewing. Actually, in the movie there is only one scene filmed in an art gallery – the Palace of the Legion of Honor, part of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, where the story takes place. But it is a pivotal scene, where detective Scottie (James Stewart) follows Madeleine (Kim Novak) and realized that she has a fascination with the portrait of her great-grandmother Carlotta Valdes – in the same way that Scottie will in turn become obsessed with Madeleine. In fact the movie’s central theme is psychological obsession, variously interpreted by film critics as “a tale of male aggression and visual control; as a map of female Oedipal trajectory; as a deconstruction of the male construction of femininity and of masculinity itself; as a stripping bare of the mechanisms of directorial, Hollywood studio and colonial oppression; etc.” All complicated analyses – there is even an International Vertigo conference being held every year..! My favorite definition of the film is the one by the British film magazine Sight and Sound. “Vertigo is the ultimate critics’ film. It is a dreamlike film about people who are not sure who they are but who are busy reconstructing themselves and each other to fit a kind of cinema ideal of the ideal soul-mate”. However people interpret it, Vertigo is a classic in Hitchcock cinema, using all his typical techniques like trick angles and floor shots, striking use of colors and sounds – and it was the first film to use the dolly zoom to distort perspective and create disorientation in order to convey Scottie’s acrophobia. Despite the movie’s disturbing overall theme, the plot seems refreshingly a bit far-fetched, as thrillers of that time were really fictional stories that did not have any relationship with reality - while unfortunately many disturbing movies today don’t merely reflect but even anticipate reality.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE South Sea Islander Robyn Watego is appealing to the community to help fundraise for a sign to be erected at the Chinderah Historical Cemetery, to tell the story and honour the legacy of those who are laid to rest there. Ms Watego is supported in her cause by local Graham Ball and carving expert Kakae Pakoa, with the team of three hoping to fundraise to pay for the equipment, timber and labour costs to erect the wooden sign at a cost of about $5,000. “The stories that lie within the cemetery include the Boyd family and others including people who were in many cases stolen from their Pacific Island homes and brought to Australia to work cane and cotton,” she told The Weekly. “While many found themselves enslaved in northern Queensland cane fields working without pay, many escaped to the Tweed Shire where they were paid, in most cases, and established a life working the land here.” Ms Watego said the story of the South Sea Islanders is one of extreme hardship and represents the strengths of the South Sea Islander people to overcome such adversity. “We have never had a sign at the old Chinderah cemetery explaining what the Chinderah Historical Cemetery represents,” she said. “We are not a registered company, as we are only three of us willing to do this as a non-for-profit group. “The fact that the cemetery burial has both Australian white families, South Sea Islander slavery people, and a few of our families buried there, is so important we tell their story in even a small way. “But we need help with the funds and while we’re attempting to get a grant for

our project, we’re also calling for any advice or support to achieve our goal. “This is something we have wanted for a long time at the Chinderah Historical Cemetery. “We now have a design and a talented wood carver, who is ready to start, but we desperately need the funds or a grant, to make this sign happen. “We’re asking the public for anyone who is for our project and also anyone who objects. “If there’s any group that can help with advice on getting a Council grant that would be hugely helpful.” Ms Watego said many would be shocked to learn that many people buried at the cemetery are often thousands of kilometres from their birthplace. She said the South Sea Islanders and others played a crucial role in establishing the Northern NSW sugar plantations and she is fighting for more recognition of their contribution. “We are a strong people and we believe our hard work in life and after our death

needs to be acknowledged, to ensure our efforts were not in vain and the mistakes of the past are acknowledged and the healing can continue. “Many thanks to public, who read this, and realise our project quest. Thanks to Tweed Valley Weekly as well.” Anyone that can offer assistance or advice is encouraged to contact Ms Watego on 0477 157 407 or email editor@ theweekly.net.au and the information can be passed on.

GET motoring Muscle@Murwillumbah to introduce exciting new racing event

By Jonathon Howard SOME OF the most unique muscle cars in the Tweed Shire could soon be competing in a new time trial event around the streets of Lundberg Drive in South Murwillumbah, for Muscle@Murwillumbah (M@M) that’s set to take place in March or April 2021. The brand-new time trial event was launched after the rescheduling of The Festival of Speed on Tweed to late 2021 and will introduce new classes of contemporary motor vehicles including electric/ hybrid vehicles, that many in the community are calling for. The event is being organised by Track Action NSW, a locally owned company with its base in Murwillumbah, headed by racing entrepreneur John Tetley, who is ready to go with the short course event to be conducted on closed public roads in the South Murwillumbah industrial estate. The Weekly caught up with three local motoring enthusiasts including Kallum Blanchard in his monster FPV F6 Typhoon, Don Anderson and his slammed Lancer Evo 7 and Malcolm New with his slick FPV GT. All three locals said they were “keen as” to enter an event such as Muscle@Murwillumbah and could not wait to get the event happening.

“I think it’s a great idea and I’m keen to enter,” Mr Blanchard, whose Falcon packs a punch under the hood. Co-event organisers Dion Andrews, Michael Simmons and Allan Singleton said the demand for a modern time trial event was so strong they are “confident the event will be an instant success”. “Track Action NSW is affiliated with RACERS, the company enlisted to manage and accredit the event for The Festival of Speed on Tweed,” Mr Andrews said. “M@M is being produced to fill the gap for enthusiasts who want to see later model vehicles compete on our streets. “While vehicles of any make and model will be permitted to enter, the organisers envision a great selection of new and old cars with plenty of muscle.” Mr Singleton said M@M has been designed to accentuate and compliment Speed on Tweed. “John Tetley of RACERS hopes the two events will work together to attract car enthusiasts and benefit the area,” Mr Singleton said. “With the rescheduling of Speed on Tweed until 2021, Mr Tetley saw a chance to run a smaller scale event with less disruption to the CBD, that would not only get a buzz happening for the future Speed on Tweed, but will also give our region a much-needed injection

Kallum Blanchard, Don Anderson and Malcolm New are ﬁred up for Muscle@Murwillumbah in 2021

in a time that will hopefully be post COVID-19,” event co-organiser Michael Simmons said. M@M is set to take place in either March or April pending further application processes with costs of around $75,000 to run the event. A sponsorship application was recently lodged with Tweed Shire Council by the race organisers, who are expecting a positive response from the local councillors. “This type of event has always provided a substantial economic boost to the area and will add to the marketing of the Tweed as a destination nationally and internationally,” Mr Simmons said.

“I am sure our local councillors will recognise the broad community appeal for an event that has been designed to incorporate local food, local producers and local musicians, who will all gain significant visitation and revenues from the event. The goal of M@M is to deliver an improved economic outcome for the town that spreads through the local community as a result of the event.” Track Action NSW hope to make things easier and more cost effective for Speed on Tweed by having all the track furniture (infrastructure) constructed for M@M stored locally and available for future racing events.

“The weekend event is proposed for the Industry Central industrial estate at Lundberg Drive, South Murwillumbah and is proposed to operate a park and ride service for all spectators,” Mr Andrews said. “Peripheral events are yet to be finalised but there are hopes for a night-time festival and Show ‘n’ Shine in Knox Park.” The M@M team are speaking with local businesses and already have in principal support from several local businesses. If you are interested in supporting the event, or would like more details, please contact the organisers via email on: info@ murwillumbahmuscle.com.au

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Arts world has been shaken to its core but recovery is coming By Solar Chapel and Editor JH THE TWEED Shire arts world has been shaken to its core by the coronavirus pandemic this year with iconic local events rescheduled to 2021 and artists in limbo over their future. To find out more about the impacts and the recovery of the performing arts sector, The Weekly caught up with local entertainment guru and Hearts Aflame event organiser Solar Chapel. Solar is based in the stunning Tyalgum village and hosts regular gigs at Flutterbies and the Tyalgum Hall. “Art is such a crucial part of the human experience and how we share our stories and our vision of the world,” Solar said. “I know everyone is looking forward to getting back out there, but until then many of our performance venues remain silent held safe for us, for a future time when we can share in the sheer magic and intimacy of live creation together once again.” In reflecting on the impact, Solar said as the world headed towards its lockdown and total bans on public gatherings came into place Australia followed suit. “Every theatre, art gallery, concert hall and cinema around the world announced that it was shutting its doors and artists and arts workers all braced themselves for a completely uncertain journey ahead,” he said. “Here we are in June and the way forward is still very murky, but technology has provided a lifeline to artists to communicate and continue

to share their work and artists are being forced to find new pathways, to continue to adapt in ways that we as a human race have not had to do for centuries.” Solar said the Australian arts sector was one the first industries affected by government intervention to stop the spread of COVID-19. “At home in the Tweed Shire, everything followed suit, the Murwillumbah Theatre Company’s production of ‘Elsie & Norm’s Macbeth’ cancelled its production in March after just a couple of performances,” he said. “Many other local concerts for the year were cancelled, as all live music and arts venues closed their doors. “For the visual arts, the restrictions have been extensive, local artist Barb Suttie shares some of the experience: “the lockdown has had a huge impact. Community art classes have been cancelled or deferred, individual art classes cancelled, no commissions, festivals, exhibitions and arts events cancelled or deferred to 2021. We hope that soon we will be together again admiring artistic talents in whatever form it takes.” “Despite the difficulties of this time, we are starting to see small shoots of growth in the sector, and it has been so great to see the reopening of M|Arts Gallery in Murwillumbah last week with restrictions of up to 15 visitors at a time, and The Tweed Regional Art Gallery is also now open with restrictions in place, and pre-bookings are required,” Solar said. “However, despite small local venues being able to gently open their doors, many festivals through-

The Piano Room at Flutterbies has been closed for months, but life could soon start to return to the iconic venue

out the region have either cancelled or postponed to 2021. “With the strong creative force of this region, many festivals like Tyalgum’s O’Heart Festival are moving online to keep the artistic flame alive, presenting music concerts, sustainability discussion forums and screening documentaries on environmental matters in August. “Also, Tyalgum Music Festival, which celebrates its 29th year this September, is still intending to hold some kind of event, although it is unclear what the restrictions will be by then.” Newly appointed Artistic Director Vanessa Tomlinson said the team will be offering the Tyalgum Music Festival in “some form to the community this year”. “Whether it be online, or live concerts in a different format, is yet

to be determined. But the festival will certainly have a presence on offer,” she said. Solar said it had also been very heartening and inspiring to see local musicians finding new ways to connect with audiences. “Many Northern Rivers musicians are hosting online streaming concerts, with some being free offerings, and some asking for donation support during this period,” he said. “Initiatives like The Pub with No Fear via Facebook, is a really creative way for artists to connect with their friends during lockdown, but for people to have something uplifting to turn to rather than the depressing daily news feed. “Although lockdown is easing, alot of these artists are still out there on the frontline, still trying to support

themselves, so please consider donating to them however you can, as this is their livelihood, so they can continue to create the work we all know and love.” On June 1, restaurants and cafes across NSW were allowed to have up to 50 diners at one time and many of our favourite places have reopened. “ Re s t a u ra n t s o ff e r i n g entertainment have begun to look at new ways of operating,” he said. “For example, Flutterbies Cottage Cafe in Tyalgum opened its doors last week and is looking ahead to hosting its regular piano room recitals again in the future with restrictions in place. “Everything at this time is changing day by day, and I don’t think we fully realise how much we miss our live arts experiences as part of our lives and sharing this with each other.”

Sunshine Sugar CEO looks towards strong future despite many challenges “During the coronavirus pandemic, we continued our operations as we are considered an essential service. Mr Connors said. Mr Connors said a sudden increase in sugar sales, due in part to panic buying and home isolation, “did put some pressure on the business keeping up with demand”. A business continuity plan was swiftly put into action to ensure operations were equipped and supported to keep staff safe and risks mitigated. “All the business aspects included social distancing and we had to put a risk management process in place during the crushing,” he said. “We have started earlier for crushing this year to allow for any potential issues with the coronavirus. “We have systems and processes in place to deal with a potential outbreak and if somebody ends up with the virus and we have to close down stations, we need to create a 14-day window to allow for that.” Mr Connors said Sunshine Sugar was fortunate to remain “much the same in terms of employee numbers” during the pandemic. “We managed to keep all our employees, which was great for our business and team,” he said. But the business of producing sugar has its challenges after sugar prices experienced a sudden drop and now faces a slow recovery.

“We need to manage our costs and have some very tight budgets in place,” Mr Connors said. Mr Connors said the business had also experienced a range of impacts due to a series of frosts, drought and inundation; and while the crops have recovered there is still a “long way to go”. “We’re currently looking at total harvest figures of around 1.6 million tonnes overall across the three sugar mills,” he said. “We really need that figure to be over two million tonnes annually to reach our targets.” Mr Connors said Sunshine Sugar has been working to create resilient varieties of sugar cane that are bred to handle some of the toughest weather conditions in the country. “Sugar cane can have wet feet for weeks on end and still recover. It is very resilient,” he said. “At the end of the day there is enough cane land out there, we just need some good growing conditions. “We’re not going to get the best growing conditions every year, but the breeding programs are all quite positive and we’ve had good results in growing in colder parts of the region. Overall, the outlook we need is good growing conditions to produce that two-million-tonne target.” Mr Connors described the cane sector as a family-run operation with many local families involve with cane farming for more than 100 years.

“One of the things about most agricultural industries, there are a lot of family operations with a history in that industry for generations,” he said. “Our farming families are in it as a group together. We’re 50 per cent a cooperative. We’re not always going to be agreeing with each other, but it’s all quite positive and we share the same goals.” Mr Connors said Sunshine Sugar has recently entered a lease agreement to use the latest stateof-the-art Mercedes Benz hauling trucks. “These trucks are going to deliver a significant saving for us,” he said. “Adding to that is the safety features in the new trucks, which are outstanding and include automatic braking in emergency situations as just one of the features. “The vehicles are also very efficient and environmentally friendly, which is a good move.” Mr Connors said international sugar is expected to have a shortage this year, which should have a positive impact on sugar prices. He also commented on the movement behind buying and supporting Australian-made products. “ We ’r e l o o k i n g at a v e r y competitive market,” he said. “We are now the only Australianowned refiner and the only Australian owned mills are ours, Mossman and Rocky Point.

Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors

“We are proudly branding our products as Australian grown, made and owned and our range includes not only white, caster and raw sugar, but we have our unique Low GI sugar on many supermarket shelves.” “To ensure Australian growers and refiners continue to be supported, it’s important that we continue to clearly brand ourselves. “We also have in place a structured, strategic plan which is driving us to diversify. We will do more with the sugar plant, extracting greater value for our growers and our business.” “In September or October our botanical water plant at Condong will come online. With so much pressure on water mining, this is an important project for everybody.” “Two other projects we are dealing with include supplying fibre for medical use and turning bagasse into a food stock for animals, both of which are sustainable and new projects.”

By Jonathon Howard SUNSHINE SUGAR is now the last Aussie owned and operated sugar mill and refinery in the country with hundreds of proud local farmers, mill operators, drivers, managers and scientists all working towards the collective goal of producing the world’s best quality sugar now and for years to come. To find out more about the challenges and opportunities the Australian sugar industry has faced during the past 12 months, The Weekly caught up with Sunshine Sugar CEO Chris Connors. Sunshine Sugar has a total of three sugar mills at Condong, Broadwater and Harwood, employing up to 1,200 people with over 500 cane growers across the three areas. Mr Connors highlighted some of the challenges facing the sugar industry, including managing the coronavirus risks, the constant need to find cost savings and efficiency measures due to the global fluctuations in the price of sugar, and the impacts of extreme weather conditions. Mr Connors said crushing had commenced at the Condong Sugar Mill a little earlier than usual this year to allow a window for any interruptions to be addressed, including the unlikely event of a COVID-19 outbreak.

Life on the land for local

By Jonathon Howard LIVING AND working the land can be both challenging and rewarding for Tweed Shire cane farming families, as The Weekly discovered after meeting the Brown family who are gearing up for the harvest this week at Tygalgah. Third-generation cane farmer Allan Brown and his son Andrew put it bluntly: “anyone can grow in the good times” but the true grit comes when faced with multiple tough seasons. Allan has been working his 310-acre cane farm and soy crops since 1968 like his father Doug before him. “My dad Doug, his parents and two brothers moved to Tygalgah from Tumbulgum in 1928,” he said. “They operated a dairy farm and later on incorporated cane growing into their farming operations. “Dad moved to and initiated the purchase of a nearby property when he was married. “He operated a dairy until part of the farm was planted with cane to supply the Condong Mill around 1968. “The farm ceased dairying in 1981 and the farm was then dedicated to 100 per cent cane production.” Allan said his father was always a practical farmer and he learnt many skills from growing up with his two brothers in a harsh environment. “Without the use of today’s modern machinery,” he said. These conditions probably helped instil a determination to overcome adversity, a trait that is absolutely necessary for a farmer to survive when having to cope with uncertain weather, fluctuating commodity prices and rising input costs. “Dad learnt at an early age how to adapt to change with his father being one of the first

to implement the use of a tractor for farm cultivation,” he said. “Mum and Dad raised a family of five children, with the four sons now operating their own farms locally.” Andrew is now the fourth generation of his family to accept the challenges of modern day cane farming. Even at a young age, Andrew had shown that same passion, enthusiasm and determination displayed by his forebears. Sadly, this is not the case for many family farming operations throughout Australia with uncertain weather, fluctuating commodity prices and rising costs forcing many aspiring young farmers off the land, along with a wealth of specific farming knowledge, skills and expertise gained over several generations. Allan’s watched his now 20-year-old son Andrew, who grew up in tractors and on cane fields, now working the family farm as well as driving for West Tweed Harvesting full-time. Andrew is old enough to make his own journey but so far his passion is with cane farming, which makes his father both happy and concerned at the same time.

“It ain’t easy that’s for sure,” Allan said, after spending the morning washing three inches of mud from harvesting machinery. “Anyone can grow in the good times, good conditions, it’s sticking through the tough season after tough season that really tests you.” Like his father before him, Allan has raised his son Andrew with a strong sense of hard graft. “You have to have a strong work ethic, which I think Andrew has gained,” he said. Andrew said he enjoys the challenge of farming and working the land. “It’s a passion and a challenge,” he said. “You try to do the best you can, but it’s also up to the season and growing conditions, you can’t control everything.” So enthused by farming, Andrew skipped his schoolies year in favour of cutting cane. “Yeah, he’s pretty into it, he even drove a tractor to his school graduation,” Allan said.

Rain puts dampener on cane harvest By Jo Kennett RECENT RAIN brought the cane harvest to a halt, but growers are optimistic about the way the harvest is shaping up. Tweed Canegrowers' Association President, Robert Hawken, is a third generation cane farmer who grows cane on the Tweed River flats in the Tumbulgum area. “We have a good average crop this year; we had a little flood in February but that wasn’t too much of a concern and the cane is going along pretty well,” Mr Hawken said. “The one-year-old cane is still quite green but the two-year-old cane is showing signs of maturity.

serving the local sugar cane industry for 44 years with Molasses Transport and Sales

“About 30 to 40 per cent of the cane we cut is two years old - it’s harvested every two yearsand the other 60 per cent is one year old.” “We burn the cane to get rid of the straw because there is such a huge volume and it’s so difficult to deal with.” Rain brought the harvest to a halt earlier this week but Mr Hawken said he wasn’t concerned. “The crop is looking good,” he said. “We have been interrupted with wet weather and the mill has stopped, but hopefully we will be able to get back into the fields soon. “Most of the cane is already burned, but we just have to wait until it’s dried out.” Make sure you read Mr Hawken's column, Sweeet Talk, in The Weekly every month for harvesting and industry news and updates.

DID YOU know that sugar cane is one of the most versatile plants in the world? Here’s some top tips for using sugar to help in everyday situations. HICCUPS Sugar is a cure for hiccups. Eating a spoonful of sugar helps halt hiccups because its graininess slightly irritates the oesophagus, causing the phrenic nerves to reset themselves and forget all about the hiccups. LIPSTICK Make your lipstick last longer by sprinkling a little bit of sugar on your lips after applying lipstick, wait a minute and then lick it off. The sugar draws moisture from the lipstick and extends the life of the colour. MOUTH BURN Next time you find yourself with a burn to your tongue or eat something a bit too spicy

professional Storm and are getting better this week. It should be a great clash this week against the Broncos who are getting desperate. Special mention about the Beanies for Brain Cancer fundraiser for the Mark Hughes foundation. It is a great cause and get a beanie from the local IGA if you can. The Cowboys haven’t returned well and the job security of coach Green has been mentioned a bit this week. The Dragons got a result and the spotlight has now turned to Sharks coach John Morris. The Sharks are a victim of top line players not performing. Moylan, Johnson, Dugan and Fifita are contributing minimally and wouldn’t be in many SuperCoach teams that’s for sure. Game of the round this week is no doubt Roosters v Eels this should be a cracker. Equally as good will be the Manly v Raiders contest. My gripe this week is relating to the decisions to rub out the first two tries in the Parra/Penrith game

ANOTHER GREAT round of footy. The big guns are flexing their muscle none more so than the Eels who returned from 10 nil down to get the result in the battle of the west. Parra produced a dynamic eight minutes of footy in what was a frenetic and top quality game of rugby league. They have a really balanced team and the new ‘style’ of footy definitely suits their style. Nathan Brown brought an enormous amount of energy and aggression to an already quality pack. The Broncos were better but this game really showed the importance of possession. Broncos had it all in the first half to lead 18 nil, then the second stanza arrived and it’s all Manly and they get run down 2018. The Knights are a genuine hope this year if they continue on the same path. Awesome to see Ponga commit to another four years at the Knights, he is a genuine superstar. They definitely challenged the

It has been a long road back so it is important these restrictions are adhered to as best as possible to hopefully get us back on the field playing the great game as soon as possible. An NRRRL decision is not too far away either and hopefully we can see the competition resume for 2020 - most teams seem confident of a return and commenced training for a July 18 start if the green light is given. Enjoy the footy, Quinny

for a push in the back of an escorting player. The escort is referred to as protecting your team’s catcher or jumper for the footy. If you get in the road it is a penalty to the opposition but if you get touched you get the penalty. Not a bad risk to take. I think if you are getting in the road you deserve to be moved out of the way. Junior footy returned to the training paddock this week under strict Covid 19 regulations.

Uki Refugee Project group run campaign to support refugees and asylum seekers

support due to the COVID-19 restrictions.” Ms Main said the URP was started in 2013 when a group affiliated with the Uki Anglican Church became “deeply concerned about the everincreasing draconian measures being put in place by the then government which adversely affected those seeking asylum in this country”. “Si nce t he n , t h e U R P h a s welcomed a diverse group of refugees, and asylum seekers for two Friendship Visits per year, where guests are given overnight accommodation and two days of special events like picnics and bush dances as well as an abundance of foods and hospitality,” Ms Main said. “We have tried to make these events as inclusive as possible, encouraging people of Uki, Murwillumbah and surrounding areas to be part of the festivities, thereby facilitating crosscultural exchange, practical help and deeper awareness from all sides. “Now, thanks to the astounding generosity of this community, we have raised over $2,000 to donate to the Romero Centre in Brisbane.” The URP fundraises to help pay for legal and educational fees and support like pantry items for the Romero Centre in Brisbane which provides support to asylum seekers and refugees. The URP’s Joan Henderson said they wanted to encourage members of the Tweed community to become involved this Refugee Week through the Mercy Community-Romero Centre Facebook page. “People can then choose from several actions, such as joining

Members of the URP protesting in support of refugees and asylum seekers recently

the Romero Centre-Refugee Week Community Dialogue page, where seven questions over seven days will be discussed, such as: why do people seek asylum? And, when would I make a decision to flee my home?” Ms Henderson said. “They can join the Paper Boat Trail page and follow the instructions to make a paper boat with a message of support, then post a photo of your boat to the page and to your networks. “They can also use a simple click option to sign the following statement of support: ‘I believe that the only true security we have lies with each other. I also believe that there is no peace without love and justice. I therefore stand together in solidarity with the Romero Centre

and claim that every human being has the right to mercy, refuge and asylum.” The URP also supports the Biloela family in the Christmas Island Detention Centre. “I recently did a link up for the eldest girl, Kopika’s birthday, her third birthday in detention,” Ms Henderson said. “They linked up via her mother’s mobile phone with people in Biloela and anyone who wanted to provide support and we sent birthday cards as well. “The families in Biloela made birthday cakes and their kids had to blow out the candles for them. “It was the saddest thing, I couldn’t see her but I could hear her little voice saying, thank you, thank you.

“To see a community who desperately wants their friends back was heartbreaking and it just doesn’t make any sense. “Now the government is trying to get legislation through to ban mobile phones in detention centres so that outside contact and support would be gone. “Well over $30 million has been spent and 100 staff employed to hold the family of four in a unit that has only one bed. It’s just a travesty, it’s beyond belief.” The Uki Refugee Project is holding a fundraising cake stall at Marine Parade, Kingscliff, on Saturday, July 4. For more information visit the UKi Refugee Project online or phone Bryan on 0428 166 783.

By Jo Kennett IT’S A big week for a Uki-based refugee support group with Refugee Week running from Sunday, June 14, to June 20 with the 2020 theme: Celebrating the Year of Welcome. The Uki Refugee Project’s (URP) coordinator Meg Main said the group was running a campaign to create awareness amongst supporters of “the dire needs of refugees and asylum seekers left without government support” during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Many of them have lost their jobs and the only way to support themselves and their families is through JobSeeker or JobKeeper, but asylum seekers and refugees who are on temporary protection visas are not eligible for government support,” Ms Main told The Weekly. “They have very limited and often no access at all to Centrelink or Medicare support. “Now, when they need our help more than ever, supporters have been unable to hold fundraisers, Friendship Weekends and other

WHEN you call Lisa RD Interiors you connect with me (Lisa) personally. The consultation takes place in a relaxed way in your own home where I bring the latest samples of curtains and blinds out to you. Having travelled around Australia in my career gives me knowledge and access to a greater range of products than most. This does not mean that they will be more expensive – the fabrics and designs are tailored for you, for a price you can aﬀord. Window furnishings are all about personal taste and design. Most times people want a simple uncluttered look, but if you want something elaborate or heritage or old

world, that is easy too. The consultation is free, the choices are yours.

All products are made here in Australia. From the comments I am getting recently, I can see that the message about buying Australian and Australian manufacture is really starting to hit home with many people. Curtains are locally sewn and blinds are locally made. Accessories are sometimes brought in from other parts of Australia where they have been made.

HOT WATER

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!

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey BANGALOW BOWLING Club, the oldest bowling club in the Tweed and Byron District, first began operating way back in 1910 at the corner of the Bangalow State School playground. A certain Dr Josiah Corlis and his band of volunteer workers managed to construct a green at a cost of 65 Australian pounds. A clubhouse, consisting of a tin roof and hessian sides was also constructed, this set the group back the princely sum of five pounds. As time moved on, the club amassed enough funds to purchase land in 1964, now their present location. The greenkeeper of the day, Roy Hulbert, was instrumental in the building of two greens. That, together with a new clubhouse, swallowed up all of 11,500 pounds.

Fast forward to 1971 and 1974 when, with increased member numbers, extra clubhouse space was required so extensions were carried out. Hence the spacious building we see today: Interesting trivia – in 1976 a team of six Bangalow bowlers were recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as having played triples continuously from 7am Saturday until 6pm Sunday. How’s that for stamina! However, in 2012 with debts amounting to a hefty six figure amount, the club went into voluntary liquidation and closed. But, not for long. The extra strong close-knit local community sprang into action and came to the fore to execute a massive fundraising exercise. Residents and business owners joined forces with the members and rallied fiercely to save the club. And, that they did! The debts were repaid, one green was closed, and

The National Medal is endorsed by SLS Australia and sent to Government House who list twice each year. To be eligible a member must have 15 years of rostered patrol hours of 30 hours or more.

Thursday, June 18, 2020

a tireless band of volunteers have kept the remaining green open and in good condition whilst the club is now up and running quite smoothly. Over the years many fine bowlers have graced the Bangalow greens with, probably, the most notable being a home grown local, Neville Lavelle, the then local hairdresser, who represented NSW a number of times in the 1960s. Presently, Richard Rombouts is making a name for himself in the Queensland handicapped bowling scene. 2018 brought about a huge increase in members due to a mini membership drive that exceeded all expectations. Membership numbers swelled to double the 2017 head count. Way to go, Bangalow Bowls Club. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and well and look after each other. Special birthday bowls note This year is a special one for Banora Residents, Bill and Shirley Moore. Bill will celebrate his 95th birthday on Sunday, June 21.

Shirley will be 92 in October, another special month as this lovely couple will also then celebrate 73 years of wedded bliss. Originally from Sydney, the couple moved to Ballina in 1982. Soon after, they joined Ballina RSL Bowls Club in River Street but moved to the new club at Canal Road some years later. Shirley was inducted at the Inaugural President of the Women’s Bowling Club. Bill, an avid bowler, was a force to be reckoned with on the greens and won many competitions over the years.

On retiring from his job of 48 years at Shelley’s Soft Drinks, Bill then decided that Banora was to be the new family home and in 1997 made the move north. The pair joined Cudgen Leagues Bowling Club and continued playing their favourite sport until health problems and age caught up with them. Son Brian and his sister, Sharyn, look forward to friends and relatives joining them at a Special Birthday Celebration Lunch for Bill at the Kirra Beach Hotel, 12.30 pm, Sunday, June 21.

Members applied for are John Harbison, Joanne Colja, Sue Eke and Greg Pile. With COVID-19 restrictions easing, the surf club has resumed trading and has more than enough space to satisfy numbers allowed. Our Coldies swimmers are also hopeful of getting a few mornings together from July. The FNC Branch Awards of Excellence will not be held as a function this season but will name the recipients this Saturday at 6pm with a live streaming on the branch website. Plans will be submitted to Tweed Shire Council this week for the alteration and addition to space on the southern end of the building that was the public shower and

toilets which were closed several years ago and were transferred to the amenities building as part of the park upgrade. Their conversion will allow the club to use the space to house our patrol equipment, IRBs, tractor and give better access to the beach. Much of the cost will be covered by the grant from the NSW Government and the club will bear the rest. The club will hold the AGMs for the Surf Life Saving and Surf Sports Committee on Sunday, July 19, with a 9am start for SLS followed by surf sports. The AGM for the FNC Branch will be held at Ballina this Saturday afternoon.

Regarding last week’s Tweed Valley Weekly article on the possibility of forming a Surf Life Saving Club at Pottsville. A Surf Club named Mooball SLSC patrolled Mooball Beach from 1925 to 1930, after which time it was abandoned. Our club minutes record that the club go to Mooball Beach on February 3, 1929, provided they were satisfied and give a display. The following week it was postponed indefinitely. The club at Pottsville operated from 1947 to 1948 Trivia question: Name our member who has won the most male Masters Australian World gold medals.

Titles, presented by Ocean and Earth, kicks off. The event will see some of NSW’s best junior surfers competing for a coveted state title when the event kicks off from the 5th to 12th of August. Unlike previous years, where all qualifiers for the Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles were determined by eight individual regional titles, the 2020 event will invite all junior competitors to enter in their respective age divisions. The last two days of the event will comprise the NSW School Surfing Titles. 2019 will be the ninth year Surfing NSW will combine the NSW School Surfing Titles into the event. 2020 is the sixth year the Havaianas NSW Grommet State Titles and the Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles presentation by Ocean and Earth have been split into two different events, with the amendment designed to cater to the growing demand from younger competitor divisions. Entries into the event will open Friday, June 19, at 5pm. COVID-19 restrictions relax to enable club rounds Looks like club surfing will be underway again from July. There will be certain precautions that will need to be taken, with Surfing NSW publishing the NSW Government’s return to community sport regulations on its website. I’m sure all the grommets will be frothing for a contest and to compete against their mates, but

I’m sure the most competitive will be the masters, lots of sheep stations up for grabs with the old boys.

Sasha does not like holding back and paid the price during one of the recent big swells that hit the East Coast. Cabarita Boardriders are encouraging everyone to get as many waves as they can during this time as Sasha will come back stronger and hungrier than ever, resulting in not many unridden waves, so you better get what you can while you can.

The event will see more than 130 of NSW’s best grommet surfers compete in an effort to claim a coveted NSW title. The three-day event will take place at Maroubra Beach from August 14 to 16.

Maroubra were determined by eight individual regional titles, the 2020 event will invite all junior competitors to enter in their respective age divisions. It will be a mission for the local grommets to get to Sydney to compete, but with so much talent in our local area, I reckon there will be a few making the journey.
