Three Northern NSW COVID-19 cases

practice good hygiene, including handwashing and social distancing, and to remain alert to any changing advice from health authorities.

“COVID-19/flu clinics are established at Lismore Base Hospital and The Tweed Hospital,” she said.

“The purpose of these clinics is for people who have respiratory symptoms or fever and who are at risk of COVID-19, for example because they were in contact with a COVID-19 case, or have returned from overseas in the 14 days before onset of symptoms.

“Since the situation is changing daily, we’ll be monitoring the ongoing need for these measures, and they’ll be available according to demand.

“NSW Health is recommending people with acute, cold, flu-like symptoms who are returned travellers, or a contact of a confirmed case, be tested for COVID-19.”

Dr Jelfs said testing is recommended for all returning overseas travellers who

develop symptoms within 14 days of return.

“Contacts of cases who develop symptoms, people admitted to hospital with severe respiratory infection irrespective of travel history, other special circumstances such as where there is an outbreak of respiratory infections without an identified cause such as flu,” she said.

“Samples for testing can be taken directly by some GPs or at a range of private pathology sites across the state that are suitable for collection of COVID-19, or at public hospitals across NSW.” The current number of cases within NSW are listed on the NSW Health website as at 11am Wednesday, March 18, there were 210 confirmed cases in NSw. For updated information: www.health. nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/ covid-19-latest.aspx

By Jo Kennett THINGS HAVE gone from mad to worse with panic buying reaching fever pitch in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

White goods are the latest item for panic shoppers including freezers which have sold out across the shire.

Meat aisles are also being stripped with mince highly sought after as well as dried and canned foods including pet food.

A manager at Harvey Norman Tweed Heads South, David Phillips told The Weekly that their freezers stocks have been impacted “massively” by the COVID-19 panic.

“We have completely run out and it’s pretty much the same at every Harvey Norman store in NSW,” Mr Phillips said.

“People are panic buying and we are having trouble getting stock in with ports shutting down overseas.

“I’ve had about five calls for freezers this morning but we are out.”

A employee from Good Guys Tweed Heads South said the situation was the same there.

“It started late last week,” he said.

“We’ve been running out of stock for the last week and we have limited stock of supplies coming in.”

Shoppers have found a growing number of aisles in supermarkets empty, First it was toilet paper and hand sanitiser, but by the weekend, March 13-14, there was barely a bag of rice to be found in larger supermarkets, limited pasta, and can foods like tomatoes were also hard to find.

While there was a mood of desperation and anxiety at the bigger supermarkets The Weekly visited, some of the smaller ones seemed much more calm, though crowds everywhere were up.

Australia isn’t the only country in the world that has seen the panic buying of

toilet paper despite authorities stressing there is no shortage - since most the nation’s rolls are produced in Australia.

The BBC reported that last month armed robbers stole pallets of toilet paper in Hong Kong “following panicbuying induced shortages”.

While British shoppers may have laughed at the behaviour of Australians as the situation escalated, they are now also panic buying toilet paper.

In China toilet paper was used as a substitute when they ran out of face masks, however there doesn’t seem to be any logic to the situation in Australia.

Late last month Australia’s chief medical officer Dr Brendan Murphy said: “we are trying to reassure people that removing all of the lavatory paper from the shelves of supermarkets probably isn’t a proportionate or sensible thing to do at this time.”

By Jonathon Howard THREE CASES of COVID-19 were confirmed by the North Coast Public Health Unit as of Monday, March 16, although specifics of where the cases are located has been withheld for privacy reasons.

This means the three cases could be somewhere between Tweed Heads and Grafton, but The Weekly was unable to gain information as to where they are specifically.

At the time of print (Wednesday, March 18) the numbers of confirmed cases remained at three with no schools reporting any cases.

All three cases are now under isolation with two self-isolating and another in hospital and both acquiring the virus after overseas travel.

Acting Director of the North Coast Public Health Unit, Dr Jane Jelfs, said the two of the confirmed cases are within the Northern NSW Local Health District.

These cases were identified over the weekend (March 14 to 15) and close contacts are being followed up by the North Coast Public Health Unit.

“The cases were acquired overseas and were not the result of local community transmission,” Dr Jelfs said.

“Anyone who is considered at risk of developing symptoms due to contact with these cases will be notified directly.

“Of the two cases, one person is selfisolating, and the other is being cared for in hospital.

“Please note, at this stage we will not be providing further specific details about the location of individuals with confirmed cases.”

Dr Jelfs said she wanted to encourage members of the public to continue to

had a beagle pull a child across the road, trying to attack my dogs..

Most dog attacks come down to a lack of common sense, lack of socialisation and some wanting aggressive dogs to make themselves feel bigger.

An aggressive dog that wants to attack is not a guard dog, it is a poorly trained animal on course to euthanasia, after it causes hurt or death to another animal or person and the fault lay with the owner.

Letter of the Week

CONGRATULATIONS PETER MURPHY You have won a double pass* to the film of your choice

Open letter to Tweed Shire Council and the NSW Chief Scientist

Our community was shocked and deeply disappointed by your office’s correspondence on Thursday, 5 March 2020 at 5.05pm that seemed to attempt to interfere with and influence the Tweed Shire Council in its vote on the Tweed Shire Council Planning Proposal PP18/0004 to Remove Enabling Clause 7.1 Water Bottling Facilities from the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014.

Deputy Chief Scientist Dr Chris Armstrong submitted a 5-page letter by email minutes before Council was due to vote on the removal of the clause. In this letter, he meticulously commented on details of Council’s Planning Proposal PP18/0004, raised questions, lectured on scientific principles, sought clarifications and expressed his concerns on a number of points.

In our view the Deputy Chief Scientist has allegedly sought to influence a decision of a local government body and well outside the stated purview of the OSCE. T h e f i n a l r e p o r t o f yo u r Independent Review of the impacts of the bottled water industry on groundwater resources in the Northern Rivers region (the Review) was published on October 31, 2019.

A group of representatives of your office, led by Dr Armstrong, then met with Council and other stakeholders, including ourselves, to discuss, explain and clarify outcomes of the Review on 16/17 February 2020. As expressed by Dr Armstrong at that time, these meetings concluded your office’s involvement in this matter as per the Terms of Reference.

The final Review was produced.

How many times does the Deputy Chief Scientist have to clarify it?

Why would he seek to protect it from “misinterpretation” with verbose, sciency goobbledygook?

The report clearly concluded that commercial water extraction facilities in Northern NSW were formerly approved: without taking into account the severe effects of climate change; with a too simplistic view and no understanding of local conditions; based on an extensive lack of data and monitoring measures; neglecting current best practice methods, within a legal framework full of gaps and unclear responsibilities, without scrutinising their impact on environment and the community.

Sorry to hear of dog attack

We were incredibly sad to hear of the dog attack on little Alexander.

Our sincere condolences to Mr and Mrs North, as all dog owners know, it is just like loosing a member of your family.

It is bad enough when they die from illness or old age but to witness Alexander’s death in this awful way is very traumatic.

The very disturbing thing about this attack is the hit and run side of it so to speak. A toddler could just have well squeaked by the table and have also been attacked.

N o n e o f u s n e e d d og s o r irresponsible owners around like this and we very much hope the Tweed Shire Council Ranger has tracked the dog and owner down and the dog has been euthanised.

There are lots of lovely dogs needing homes, so why keep the vicious ones in our community?

Liz Cullen, Tweed Shire

All dogs must be controlled

I have two big dogs (25kg), which I walk regularly, always leashed. They are well socialised with other dogs and people, and I have the strength to control them.

We have, however, been attacked within metres of our home by a neighbour’s dog which was known to be dog aggressive and was poorly fenced.

The Ranger was called. Mu dogs were checked for microchipping. I felt like the guilty party.

The end result was that the young woman (after egging our car at night) had to have the dog on a leash (which never happened), a small fine and basically nothing more. End result, she proceeded to add another dog to her collection.

A sigh of relief was had when they moved, but I couldn’t help wonder what poor dog would become next victim to that dog.

I see young children walking strong dogs, like staffies and they have no control over them but that’s another story. Dogs are unpredictable. I have

I had a heart attack in 2008 on the day before Good Friday.

T h e a m bu l a n c e t o o k m e t o Murwillumbah Hospital where I received treatment and was placed in the High Dependency Unit. I was kept there over Easter and on the following Tuesday the ambulance took me to Gold Coast Hospital where a stent was placed in one of my arteries.

I’ve been okay ever since. It couldn’t happen today because the High Dependency Unit is no more.

It has been closed for some time as has the Children’s Ward and the Maternity Unit. When critical patients present at Murwillumbah Hospital who would have been accommodated in one of these wards, they are dealt with in the Emergency Department.

The rest are taken to The Tweed Hospital.

It should be noted at this point that just a few weeks ago Murwillumbah was cut off from Tweed Heads by floods.

The hospital is dying the death of a thousand cuts and the latest is the planned reduction of nursing hours in the Emergency Department.

The State Government plans to take nursing hours from our Emergency Department and give them to Ballina.

The Local Health District Board has put this plan on hold until the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course but make no mistake, it’s still on the table.

However, with the COVID-19 pandemic rampant, surely it’s time to reopen the High Dependency Unit.

I came to the Tweed in 1971 when the population was 24,500. It’s four times as big now, approaching 100,000 and we’re losing services.

It’s a long time since we had a fulltime police station and we’re paying a price for that. And it’s a long time since we lost our train.

Queensland abolished theirs and now they’re in the process of putting it back.

A number of shops in Murwillumbah and in some of the surrounding towns have the

We do not accept what we see as an attempt to undermine the Tweed Shire Council’s decision.

The item will be voted on by Council this Thursday March 19 with a clear recommendation from Council staff that it be passed and with a clear statement, in spite of Dr Armstrong, that the matter is for the council alone to decide. This was supported by NSWWater and the Department of Primary Industries and Energy.

Council staff did not misinterpret the review. It concluded there was not enough data and the uncertainty principle: if you don’t know don’t do it, is further supported by the fact that the industry has no economic, social or community benefit to the shire.

We expect Tweed Shire Council Planning Proposal PP18/0004 to Remove Enabling Clause 7.1 Water Bottling Facilities from the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 to be passed by a unanimous vote of Councillors.

Pat Miller, on behalf of the Tweed Water Alliance

A dream to be COVID-19 free

I am originally from Italy and hear daily from family and friends stories from the frontline of the COVID-19 epidemic that resemble a science fiction movie or a nightmare.

I keep thinking about how can we avoid the same happening here.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the villages and towns in Tweed Shire managed to remain free of the disease?

We would all feel so proud of belonging to a community where everybody feels responsible not only for their own health and wellbeing but also for everyone else and implements measures to avoid the spreading of the virus.

The worldwide scientific consensus is clear: proper hand hygiene, social distancing and quarantine are the only way to prevent and contain the spread of the virus. I am aware and frankly amazed that there are still many people in our community that don’t take this issue seriously – until panic sets in, that is.

I would like to encourage everyone to reflect seriously about the situation and to not dismiss what is happening with easy conspiracy theories or exaggerated confidence in heaven’s will.

This is no time for denial, but for preventative action.

Maria Barbieri, Uki

of toilet rolls and tissues, no stress placed on the nation’s economy, no frightened mass sell-off of stocks and shares to cause the stock market to crash and there would be no need for government coffers to be raided to establish a stimulus program to try and restore public confidence in normal everyday living.

That didn’t happen, did it? In fact the opposite happened with the mass media reporting dozens of times daily about the latest COVID-19 cases throughout our country and across the globe.

I’m a journalist (retired) with more than 40 years’ experience, mainly in the print media, and I assuredly know about the “power of the press” and how headline news stories can influence the mood of people, especially those lacking in forethought.

Of course, it would be unthinkable for any editor not to report on the outbreak of coronavirus and its spread across the world and all the case stats that go with it. That’s news, isn’t it, and they are duty bound to report the news.

But in doing so, just look at the negative impact it is having on our nation. We’re falling apart at the seams and entering a depression which could turn out to be one of the worst in Australia’s history.

If the mass media stopped reporting on COVID-19 today, my bet is that within a couple of weeks things would quickly return to normal and we, as a nation, would have a great chance of surviving the damage that has already been done.

As the old saying goes: no news is good news.

Peter Murphy, Tweed Heads West

Take a good look in the mirror

Just a note to all those supermarket raiders who emptied the shelves of what they thought was needed for the end of the world.

You didn’t solve a problem, you created two.

Firstly you have a house full of stuff you don’t need and secondly lots of people can’t buy everyday items.

So, next time you’re in the bathroom admiring your hoard of toilet paper take a little time to look in the mirror so you know what a bloody idiot looks like.

The fight to stop proposed cuts to the Murwillumbah Hospital ED have been shelved and inset is Max Boyd who has voiced his support for the hosptial staff

Health Information, is extremely difficult to understand,” he said.

Mr Boyd pointed to the recent statistics which reveal there were an additional 234 patients who presented from July to September 2019.

“There was a total of 4,719 patients which included 1,629 urgent patients.”

Mr Boyd has joined Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin and a growing number of community members to call on the Northern NSW Local Health District to abandon the proposed cuts.

The cuts could result in the loss of around two fulltime jobs or more at the local ED, with staff already under intense pressure with a high workload.

Reports have been made that pregnant women have been forced to give birth in the ED or even in the carpark, although this is yet to be confirmed.

Mr Boyd said the Murwillumbah Hospital has done an outstanding job in the Tweed Shire for more than 81 years.

“I know this from firsthand experience, just how good it is,” he said.

“How many more times can it be subjected to cuts of one sort or another.”

M r B oyd r e f e r r e d t o a S t at e Government promise to provide 280 more nurses and midwives, 32 more doctors, 38 allied health workers and 50 hospital support workers to Northern NSW. “Were any of these people appointed to the Byron Central Hospital or Ballina Hospital? If not, why not?” he said.

Ms Saffin is continuing her fight to retain hours at the ED and has welcomed the health district’s decision to delay any cuts.

“I welcome the decision by the Northern NSW Local Health District not to cut staffing level at the Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency Department, due to COVID-19 and the winter flu season,” she said.

“While this might be the case, we, as a community, need to remain vigilant and continue with our petition.

“Thank you to those who have signed the petition and to the community for getting behind it. Let’s do this, together.”

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH HOSPITAL’s Emergency Department has received a reprieve this week with proposed cuts the ED placed on hold until the threat of coronavirus passes.

S ave M u r w i l l u m b a h H o s p i t a l Community Action Group welcomed news the cuts have been shelved for time being but have vowed to continue the future fight.

S ave M u r w i l l u m b a h H o s p i t a l Community Action Group spokesperson Kylie Rose said the community has worked tirelessly to achieve this small concession.

“This is a welcome albeit brief reprieve for our hospital,” she said.

“The announced cuts are still on the table for the future so we, as a community will need to remain vigilant.

“Our Emergency Department staff can now focus on doing what they do best – looking after the health needs of our community and saving lives.

“But locals will not rest until these cuts are ruled out forever.”

Ms Rose said the community depends on the ED and “we need our hospital”.

“We need to make sure that our hospital has the resources to support our community at all times,” she said.

“We need more staff – not cuts. Not now. Not ever.”

Former Tweed Shire Mayor and longtime local icon, Max Boyd OAM, has bowed into debate around proposed cuts.

Mr Boyd recently met with The Weekly to share his concerns in what he phrased as a “death by a thousand cuts” to the Murwillumbah Hospital.

“The proposed cuts to the Murwillumbah Hospital ED at a time when it is experiencing its busiest quarter on record, according to the Bureau of

Touching story of Molly the singing Chihuahua

By Jonathon Howard A MUCH-LOVED Uki dog, Molly the singing Chihuahua, has sadly passed away after 15 years of living a fulfilling life with her soulmate Wendy Laxton.

Ms Laxton contacted The Weekly to see whether the paper was interested in a feelgood dog story that highlights the strong bonds that can develop between a pet and owner.

“Molly was so well known in the Tweed Valley and adored by many,” she said.

“It only felt right to honour her in this way.”

Molly could always draw a crowd and according to Ms Laxton, the lovable pooch could howl out a few melodies on cue.

“She loved to sing for people,” she said.

“I think she was a natural born performer and she used to sing to the song Spirit in the Sky at my spiritual church that ran for eight years in Murwillumbah.”

Ms Laxton said before she found Molly, she had a dream they would meet.

“I had a dog previously who had died six months before and the dog had come to me in a dream and said she was coming back to me,” she said.

“Then a few months later I had another dream of someone giving me this tiny little puppy named Molly with these tiny black spots on her bottom.”

One day, out of the blue, a friend of Ms Laxton from Brisbane rang her and mentioned a litter of puppies with one of them closely resembling her dream.

“I said okay if the runt of the litter is a female then I will have her,” she said.

“That began my soulmate journey with little Molly, she sang right from the first day I picked her up weighing in at just 60 grams and yes, she had little black spots

Molly has sadly passed away following a rich and fulfilling life in Uki

on her bottom.”

Loved by all, especially the elderly and children, Molly led a busy life, visiting a nursing home in Ballina one day and all the residents were pushing past each other just to pat her.

“Molly sang at the Uki markets one day in a pet parade up on stage whilst a performer was playing the guitar,” she said.

“Always ready to belt out a tune at any given moment whether it be with the local neighbourhood children or happy birthday to whomever was celebrating.

“A regular at all the local markets and adored by many passers-by.”

Molly had her portrait painted by local well-known painter Degs the dot painter.

“One local told me that she just happened to see Degs doing some touchups on the painting and she said straight away I know that little dog,” she said.

Ms Laxton and Molly shared many amazing moments together including travelling Australia in a campervan for 10 months.

“Molly is so missed our cat even sleeps in her bed just to feel close to her,” she said.

“A final message from Molly: to all who passed me in the street and gave me a smile, to all who couldn’t resist patting me, to all who fell in love with my cuteness, it did not go unnoticed.

“I felt your love and kindness. Don’t be sad at my passing, I’m still here as happy as ever and ready to belt out a tune with you all whenever you think of me. Thank you for the love you gave to me. Molly.”

Taxi driver assaulted at Cudgen POLICE ARE appealing for public assistance after a taxi driver was assaulted and robbed at Cudgen on Saturday, March 14.

Police said just before 10.30pm a woman flagged down a taxi on Turnock Street, between Elrond Road and Pearl Street, at Kingscliff and told the taxi driver that she was headed to Altona Road, Cudgen, where a friend was waiting.

On arrival, a white hatchback pulled up behind the taxi and a man exited the vehicle. The man struck the 57-year-old taxi driver in the face with a baton before the woman stole cash from inside the taxi. The pair then fled in the hatchback and were last seen driving south on Tweed Coast Road. The taxi driver suffered facial injuries and was treated on scene by paramedics.

Officers are hoping to speak with a man and woman who may be able to assist with the investigation. The woman has been described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance, of a medium build, aged between 25 and 30, and was last seen wearing shorts and a green hooded jumper.

The man has been described as having a medium build, about 182cm tall, and was last seen wearing a grey beanie, white T-shirt and blue jeans.

Investigators are also urging any witnesses or anyone with dashcam vision in the area at the time to come forward.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers via 1800 333 000 or online.

Supermarket deliveries

SUPERMARKET OPERATORS in the Tweed will be able to receive delivery of goods outside their normal regulated hours for the next two weeks due to supply issues related to the coronavirus.

Council’s Director of Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said Council had received a request from a supermarket operator for a two-week moratorium on the enforcement of delivery curfews in the Tweed local government area.

“Supermarkets have told us pressure is being placed on supermarkets’ supply chain, especially on key items such as toilet paper and antibacterial products,” Mr Connell said.

“They are keen to ensure customers understand that there is no need to stockpile and they can assist this by keeping shelves in stores well stocked.

“After consulting with Councillors, we have agreed to assist by not taking compliance action against supermarkets in the Tweed receiving deliveries of goods outside of their normal delivery hours for the period March 13 to March 27.”

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

More than 80 people turned out to celebrate the completion of the $1.2 million Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre redevelopment on Friday 6 March. The community were treated to live performances, dance, music and food served from Council’s new social enterprise, Brett Street CAFE. Tweed Shire council staff are pictured cutting the official opening cake. The project was jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and Tweed Shire Council.

Tweed Shire Council cultural facilities closed To reduce the potential spread of coronavirus to vulnerable community members, Council has closed its cultural facilities effective from Tuesday 17 March.

This includes libraries, gallery and museum facilities.

The facilities will be closed for two weeks, with the closure reviewed on a week-by-week basis after that. All associated events and public programs during this period will not be held.

The closures affect: • Richmond-Tweed Regional Library branches at Tweed Heads, Kingscliff and Murwillumbah • Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre and Gallery DownTown in Murwillumbah • Tweed Regional Museum at Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Uki. Council’s Director Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson said Council had a duty of care to its cultural facility patrons and the community.

“We made this decision because we have a relatively high proportion

of our population over the age of 60 and many of these residents who are more likely to be vulnerable to the effects of coronavirus use our facilities as patrons and volunteers,” Ms Stinson said.

“There are 6000 visits to our library branches a week and 600 per day visit the Tweed Heads Library alone.

“Add to that the 2500 people who visit the Tweed Regional Gallery weekly and you have a large group of people coming together – many of whom are in the vulnerable age bracket.

She stressed that no staff members at any of the affected facilities had been diagnosed with coronavirus.

“Closing these facilities is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting staff and slowing the spread of the virus within the community,” she said.

Staff will continue to work at the facilities during the closures on behind-the scenes projects.

All library patrons are also advised that there will be a waiver on any library books due for return during the closedown period.

As the global situation with coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop, Tweed Shire Council is taking all necessary precautions to keep the community and staff safe.

Council is closely following advice from federal and state health authorities. To ensure that Council is prepared and able to respond quickly to the progress of the virus within the workplace and the local community, Council has established a planning group with members from across the organisation, which first met last Monday.

Apart from measures to keep Council staff safe, Council has taken a number of steps to assist safety in the community. These include: • Posters in public spaces to provide support and advice on hand washing as well as directions to relevant government websites for more information.

• Additional soap in some high-traffic public toilet blocks.

• A link to the NSW Health website from Council’s website.

• Links for further information on the Emergency Dashboard.

• Advising the Tweed community of relevant updates on coronavirus through media releases, social media, the Tweed Link and Council’s website.

• Some Council-run events may be postponed. Visit tweedshire.eventbrite.com.au for updates.

Council General Manager Troy Green said Council was also taking

actions to focus on the health of our community when they visit Council offices, including: additional cleaning with appropriate products at customer service counters; hand sanitisers at public entry points at our facilities; and advising members of the community where to find helpful information when they phone Council whether during the day or when contacting Council’s after-hours service.

Businesses, schools and aged care facilities who have concerns about what the coronavirus means for them can find specific information and resources for each sector at: www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/diseases/Pages/coronavirus “One of the key recommendations from health officials is that people maintain good hygiene practices, with 20 to 30 seconds of warm soapy hand washing regularly. Self-isolate when unwell and if concerned, seek medical advice,” Mr Green said.

“It’s also a good idea to reconsider how we greet people, using others ways to say hello rather than shaking hands. Overall, the best advice we can give our local community is to stay up to date with information from credible health and government authorities.”

Council has not closed its customer service offices at Tweed Heads or Murwillumbah at this stage due to the impact of coronavirus.

However, for the general safety of our employees and customers, Council is encouraging people to make contact via phone on (02) 6670 2400 or use Council’s wide range of online services rather than attending in person.

In addition to measures to protect Council employees, some of the ways it is providing safer physical spaces for Council customers include: • additional cleaning of surfaces in Council customer spaces • take-home/single use pens • providing hand sanitiser and cleaning instructions • cleaning of all EFTPOS machines after each transaction.

Register to stay informed about dam raising Council is inviting residents and community groups to register their interest in commenting on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the raising of Clarrie Hall Dam. Consultants Eco Logical Australia began work in December 2019 to prepare the EIS for the proposed raising of Clarrie Hall Dam. They are expected to finalise that document to go on public exhibition at the end of this year.

The EIS must be exhibited for 28 days, with public submissions to be made within that period.

“This project has been classified as a state-significant infrastructure project for NSW and is one of Council’s highest priorities,” Manger Water and Wastewater – Business and Assets Anthony Burnham said.

“We can expect the EIS document to be weighty in both content and size so we want to ensure that all residents and community groups interested in interrogating that document and commenting on it have the full opportunity to do so.”

To register your interest in the EIS, please subscribe to Stay Informed by visiting www.yoursaytweed.com.au/RaisingClarrieHall Those who subscribe to Stay Informed will receive an email alert inviting them to a community meeting where the consultant will go through the EIS document to help them understand it and make a submission on it.

One or two meetings will be held during preparation of the EIS and during public exhibition, depending on the level of community interest.

All submissions must be responded to formally in a ‘Response to EIS Submissions Report’, which goes with the EIS document to the Minister to determine whether the project can proceed. That determination, plus any conditions placed on the project by the Minister, then returns to Council for a decision.

Raising the wall of Clarrie Hall Dam will double the dam’s footprint, treble its capacity and provide security of the Tweed’s water supply to 2046.

Three tonnes of waste was collected by Tweed Shire Council for Clean-Up Australia Day this year - a great effort by the community.

A total of 34 sites were registered with Council including three youth, 17 school, 14 community and one business clean-up site. There were also three dive sites which cleaned up the Tweed River.

Victoria Wells from Brisbane Dive Academy who cleaned up the Tweed River said their team filled their bag five times.

“The most common things we found were glass bottles and discarded fishing lines and hooks,” Ms Wells said.

“Some of the weirder objects we found were stainless steel dog bowls (how this ended up in the river I have no idea), big shards of glass, a big sheet of vinyl and lots of towels,” she said.

Another big contributor was the team from Big Trev Watersports Tweed Heads, who celebrated 30 years of Clean Up Australia Day at Jack Evans Boat Harbour. Well done to everyone for helping to keep the Tweed beautiful.

Collectively Australia removed 15.5 thousand tonnes of rubbish from parks, beaches, bushland, suburban streets and waterways right across Australia over Clean Up Australia Day.

Council relaxes delivery hours Supermarket operators in the Tweed will be able to receive delivery of goods outside their normal regulated hours for a period due to supply issues related to the coronavirus.

Council’s Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said Council had received a request from a supermarket operator for a twoweek moratorium on the enforcement of delivery curfews in the Tweed local government area.

“Supermarkets have told us pressure is being placed on supermarkets’ supply chain, especially on key items such as toilet paper and antibacterial products,” Mr Connell said.

“They are keen to ensure customers understand that there is no need to stockpile and they can assist this by keeping shelves in stores well stocked.

“After consulting with Councillors, we have agreed to assist by not taking compliance action against supermarkets in the Tweed receiving deliveries of goods outside of their normal delivery hours for the period 13 March to 27 March 2020.

Council apologises to residents for any inconvenience or additional noise during this time.

DA lodged for temporary pound A development application has been lodged with Council for a temporary Pound and Rehoming Centre on leased private premises at Dulguigan.

It is the next step in a process which will lead to the building of a new permanent Pound and Rehoming Centre in 2022.

The former pound at Stotts Creek closed on 25 September last year to allow for the expansion of the Waste and Resource Recovery Centre.

Since that time, impounded animals have been cared for at a privatelyowned boarding kennel at Tygalgah which has not been accessible to the public.

Council’s Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said the temporary arrangements had been a success and there was a smooth transition between the Stotts Creek and Tygalgah facilities.

“We have been very pleased with the standard of care provided at Tyglagah, which has maintained high standards of service and levels of care for impounded animals,” Mr Connell said.

“While there has been a delay of a few months in our original timeline to move to the next temporary facility at Dulguigan, the impounded animals are in safe hands at Tygalgah.

“Once we move to Dulguigan, which we anticipate to be in the middle of this year, the public will be able to visit the facility to retrieve impounded animals and view animals for potential adoption,” he said.

“Council works closely with the volunteers from Friends of the Pound to re-home the dogs and cats in the Tweed area. If you are looking to buy a new pet for your family we strongly encourage you visit their website friendsofthepound.com/adopt and consider adopting,” he said.

For more information visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/Pound or phone (02) 6670 2400.

Scenic Drive closure delayed Works on Scenic Drive, near Gull Place, at Tweed Heads West have been delayed due to rain and contractor availability.

The works to repair a landslip were to have started on Monday 23 March but will now start on Tuesday 14 April.

Rescheduling the works to the school holidays may also help reduce traffic congestion on this busy arterial road, which offers no practical detour options.

One lane of Scenic Drive will be closed 24/7 for two weeks to repair a landslip above. While the closure will only be for about 30 metres, the closed lane will be used as a site compound.

Stop slow flagmen will manage the traffic during work hours, with traffic lights in place after hours.

If possible, motorists are urged to travel via Bilambil Road and Terranora Road to access the Pacific Motorway, Tweed Heads and Gold Coast areas. If using Scenic Drive, please plan your trip and leave early to avoid the stress of likely delays.

Manager Parks and Active Communities Stewart Brawley said Council’s Parks and Active Communities team had partnered with St Joseph’s Catholic School to include children in the park planning process and hopes to keep this momentum up by encouraging children and their parents to vote online.

“We are looking at developing an online survey on Council’s Your Say Tweed engagement website, where people will be able to view images of the proposed park upgrades and vote on their favourite option,” Mr Brawley said.

While an online engagement does not include a free BBQ and children’s activities, it will allow members of the community of all ages to vote for their preferred design choice, while offering the 160 people who had booked free tickets for the family fun day, an alternate way to have their opinion heard.

Council will advertise the Your Say Tweed engagement page in the coming weeks. In the meantime, why not sign up to have your say on a number of Council projects at www.yoursaytweed.com.au/register

By Jonathon Howard THE FORMER Matlida Service Station at 182 Tweed Valley Way is set to become a new Puma Service Station after a development application (DA) was submitted and is being advertised until Friday, April 10.

The proposed redevelopment of the site estimated the development cost at around $1.7 million with the potential to generate nine new jobs if approved.

The application highlighted that between nine and eleven underground storage tanks (USTs) exist on the site and the site was flagged as contamination occurring.

“The existing USTs and associated pipework appear to be the primary source of contamination occurring on the site,” the DA reads.

“In 2015, a groundwater monitoring event (GME) identified light non aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) and concentrations of dissolved phase petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater, indicating a possible breach in the underground petroleum storage system (UPSS) at the site.

“Subsequently and in relation to further investigations, the site has been included on the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA’s) register of Significantly Contaminated Sites, being a site that is contaminated to a level that is ‘significant enough to warrant regulation’ under the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act).”

The application highlighted that the same site was recently approved by Tweed Shire Council on October 31, 2019, for the demolition and remediation of the existing service station site, which has already taken place.

“The approval authorised the removal of all structures on site as well as the construction of the car refuelling canopy,” the DA reads.

The latest DA is proposing the construction of a new Puma service station shop and takeaway food outlet, truck refuelling canopy, temporary retail outlet, signage and associated

Hearing loss affects one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74.

Chances are you know someone who struggles with hearing. Not being able to fully engage in conversations and activities is isolating and frustrating, and withdrawal from social situations often results.

Here are some strategies you can implement to support your friends who are struggling to hear: 1. Don’t be afraid to ask about hearing loss, and to acknowledge it’s an issue – for you, for them, or for both of you, its ok to talk about it!

2. Listening with a hearing loss requires extra focus so it is important to get your loved one’s attention before speaking to them. It also saves time and having to repeat yourself.

3. Choose a place to meet where soft furnishings such as carpet support better acoustics.

4. Be aware of ambient noise when you meet.

Avoid loud music or traffic noise to have a better chance of following conversations.

By Jonathon Howard AN OUTSTANDING local book, Shorebirds of the Tweed Coast, developed by students from Banora Point Public School has been given a boost to both its circulation and distribution and it will now be available across the Tweed Shire’s libraries and 25 local schools.

The book was given a big boost courtesy of the ITV Tweed Community Initiative fund who contributed $1,400 to help print and distribute a copy of the books into schools and community libraries.

The book was launched to parents and friends on Friday, November 22, and the print run was beautifully presented thanks to Print Spot Murwillumbah.

Any profits from the sales of the books will be donated to Bird Life’s Beach-nesting bird program.

Banora Point Primary 6W teacher, Michael Wilkinson, said the 6W class had created the book on how to help protect endangered beach-nesting birds.

Coveted awards for local IGAs, but little time to celebrate Petition to halt 5G rollout

By Jonathon Howard THE OWNERS and staff at Tweed Valley IGA and Murwillumbah IGA have had little time to celebrate the store’s recent win at the Qld and Northern NSW IGA Awards of Excellence – as most of their time has been taken up with re-stocking shelves and serving the needs of local shoppers.

IGA store owners Brett and Leanne Bugg said they were delighted to have both their local stores awarded the distinguished IGA Community Awards.

The awards have been celebrating and recognising the dedicated efforts of independent retailers and the roles they play in their local communities since 2001.

Mrs Bugg said the recognition was welcomed by the managers and staff especially during a tough time for shoppers and supermarkets.

“We have been absolutely smashed with customers at the moment,” Mrs Bugg said.

“The managers and staff have made every effort to keep the shelves stocked and restocked and we’re also providing regular updates as to what’s available online.”

Mrs Bugg said the awards recognise the team’s efforts to create the best shopping experience possible.

“We have managed to keep in close contact with our suppliers including our butcher’s department, which has been great in anticipating the needs of customers.”

Mr Bugg said he wanted to encourage shoppers to drop into the IGAs for essentials, especially in the morning hours.

“We are best stocked in the morning, but we are also trying to keep up with the demand, so I’d recommend checking in and you will get what you need,” he said.

TWEED SHIRE councillors will receive a petition signed by 663 residents calling for a stop to the 5G roll out in the Tweed Shire during their monthly meeting at Tweed Heads on Thursday, March 19.

The petition was received on March 4, 2020 and stated they do not consent to being “irradiated by the extremely high frequencies of 5G”.

“Abundant peer reviewed scientiflc evidence shows exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from wireless telecommunications can cause serious harm to humans and the environment,” the petition reads.

“We recognise the urgent need for an honest, worldwide review of wireless technology use.”

The petition states that regulatory agencies ARPANSA and ICNIRP do not acknowledge any biological effects other than heating of tissue in exposure standards.

“Non-thermal bio-effects on humans and the environment are well established and cannot be ignored,” the petition reads.

“These agencies cannot provide any scientific evidence that 5G is safe. Initially utilising current networks, then moving onto small cells and extremely high frequencies.”

The petition highlighted that 5G enables wireless connection of billions of devices plus public infrastructure to the internet and artificially intelligent (AI) systems.

I G A Tw e e d Va l l e y a n d I G A M u r w i l l u m b a h h av e b e c o m e synonymous with representing their local communities.

The stores have standing sponsorships with more than 30 sporting teams and community groups as well as ongoing partnerships with Vinnies and supporting more than 100 requests for donations each year.

The couple, who made the move from Tassie to the Tweed Valley, have found the community they love.

“This is such a beautiful place to live and work,” Mrs Bugg said.

“We just feel so lucky to live here and raise our son here.

“We know we can all get through this coronavirus stuff and we will be stronger as a community in the end.”

They have also been a central donation point for drought relief and the recent bushfire emergency in the Tweed Valley.

Owners Brett and Leanne have been honoured by Rotary, The Lions Club, The Business Chamber, St Vincent De Paul and Tweed Shire Council for their ongoing community work.

The judging criteria includes customer service, community pride, department excellence, brand values, merchandising and the store’s overall performance.

Not only are the IGA stores an integral part of their local communities, but also the dedicated teams who work in the stores.

The National IGA Awards of Excellence will take place this year in July during the Metcash Food Expo on the Gold Coast, where the winners will be finalists representing their state in their respective categories, celebrating the success across IGA’s network of 1,400 stores.

Council meeting changes

THE TWEED Shire Council meeting to be held tonight (Thursday, March 19) at the Harvard Room, Tweed Heads, will commence at 2.30pm, rather than 5.30pm.

Public Access Forum will begin at 2pm, rather than 4.30pm.

“Members of the public are still legally allowed to attend the meeting but due to COVID-19 situation, are asked to consider viewing the recording of the meeting instead. This will be available the following day at: www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ CouncilMeetings,” Mayor Katie Milne said.

“We’re encouraging social distancing, so we would prefer people intending to speak at Public Forum to provide written information instead, which can be read out.

“We will be modelling recommended behaviour at the meeting by practicing social distancing ourselves where possible and will spread out to allow a distance between Councillors and staff.”

Denture Problems?

THERE ARE many problems that people encounter when wearing (or learning to wear) a denture – sore spots, looseness and damaged or missing denture teeth to name a few. The good news is there is no need to endure through pain or problems with your denture. In most cases, your dental prosthetist can help.

Sore spots are the most common problem faced by denture wearers. A sore spot occurs when the denture moves and rubs on the gum, causing a small amount of swelling leading to the denture rubbing more. Left untreated, the rubbing continues until the skin on the gum breaks causing a painful ulceration. This is something that can quickly be fixed by your dental prosthetist.

By identifying where the denture is rubbing on the gum, and adjusting the denture accordingly, relief should be instantaneous.

The trick is treating the sore spot when it is a small problem, before it becomes a painful ulceration.

A number of different factors can cause a denture to feel ‘loose’. If it is a partial denture, perhaps it is a simple matter of having the clasps tightened, or if it is a full denture, you may need a reline. When you have a natural tooth extracted, your gums shrink and are continually changing shape. Whilst this change slows down over time, it never completely stops, meaning that your denture is only a ‘good fit’ for a certain period of time.

A reline replaces the fitting surface of your denture to suit the shape your gums are now, not the shape they were when the denture was made. A reline usually takes one day to complete and, in most cases, fixes a perceived

looseness issue. In some cases, especially with a complete lower denture, implants may be required to stop the denture from moving around. A consultation with a dental prosthetist is the safest way to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Missing or damaged denture teeth is something that can affect daily life. Being embarrassed to smile or speak to people can seriously impact one’s self esteem. Denture teeth as well as other denture components (clasping, ‘gum’ area etc) can be replaced or repaired. A denture repair is generally fairly straight forward and happens inhouse over a couple of hours depending on the repair.

Whether you are experiencing sore spots, denture looseness, need a denture repair, or your denture simply needs a clean, Bromley’s Denture Clinic can help. We are your family owned local denture clinic with over 20 years combined experience, and whatever your denture problem may be, we are here to listen and help where ever we can. Life is too short to endure denture ‘teething problems’.

Brunswick armed robber last seen heading for Cabarita

By Jo Kennett

POLICE ARE appealing to the public for help and have issued a description of a man they want to question over an armed robbery at Brunswick Heads on Thursday, March 12, who was last seen driving towards Cabarita on Clothiers Creek Road.

The drama began around 12.20am when a 22-year-old woman and 69-year-old man were closing a licensed premise on the Old Pacific Highway at Brunswick Heads.

After leaving the venue, the young woman pulled over in Brunswick Heads where an unknown man entered her vehicle and threatened her with a firearm.

The man demanded she return to the licensed premises and reopen the venue.

The woman drove back to the venue where the assailant continued to threaten her and demand access to the safe.

He took a sum of cash and demanded she drive back towards Brunswick Heads.

A security guard arrived on the scene and was also threatened with the firearm.

The woman drove the man northbound onto the Pacific Highway before stopping at the Clothiers Creek exit, where the man got out of the car and got into a waiting car. The car then drove off towards Cabarita.

Officers from Tweed/Byron Police District attended the scene and established a crime scene.

Police are still investigating the robbery and are appealing for anyone with information which may assist detectives.

The man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his mid-30s, with a thin build, short stubble facial hair, sores on his face and light brown hair. He was last seen wearing dark clothing.

Anyone who may have CCTV or dashcam footage around the Brunswick Heads area between 9pm on Wednesday, March 11, and 2am on Thursday, March 12, is urged to contact local police on (02) 6685 9499 or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.

The Police ask the public not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.

police have been confronted with challenging conditions this season.

“The environment has been extremely challenging for police – we had the bushfires, rain, flooding – so to say the criminals are doing their best to get into really remote areas is an understatement,” Det Supt Watson said.

“The expertise and assistance of our specialist units is essential to the success of the program and this year has been no different.”

Det Supt Watson said the strategy behind the CEP targets the networks behind the cultivation and supply.

“We have a dedicated investigative response to outdoor cannabis cultivation and by using intelligence to target known cultivation sites, we receive further information to conduct investigations into supply chains,” Det Supt Watson said.

“Criminals who profit from cultivating these drugs are often known to re-invest funds into other criminal enterprises that directly impact the communities of NSW.” The Cannabis Eradication Program began in the 1980s and targets outdoor cannabis crops in the optimal growing season which runs throughout the warmer months of the year.

Cannabis plants with an estimated potential street value of more than $390 million have been seized during the program’s lifetime.

Anyone with information in relation to the cultivation and supply of cannabis is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.

Police used a helicopter (Polair) to scan vast areas of bushland from the Qld border to Coffs Harbour with several areas flagged as potential targets and ground crews swooping on the sites.

During this season’s program, police seized 5,818 plants, with an estimated potential street value of $11.6 million.

All the plants were certified by an agronomist and have since been destroyed.

In total, 25 people were served Court Attendance Notices for offences relating to the cultivation of cannabis.

Since February 2019, Drug and Firearms Squad detectives have seized 13,771 plants, with an estimated potential street value of $27.5 million.

This includes more than 3,100 plants and 5kg of cannabis head seized in Coffs/Clarence Police District between February 3 and 7, more than 1,690 plants seized in Richmond Police District between February 24 and 28, and 1,015 plants seized in Tweed/Byron Police District between March 9 and 12.

Police said many of the crops were growing in remote dense bushland.

The CEP is an annual operation, led by detectives from the State Crime Command’s Drug and Firearms Squad, which the outdoor cultivation of cannabis throughout Northern NSW. Detectives were assisted by police from Coffs/Clarence, Richmond and Tweed/ Byron Police Districts, as well as the Aviation Command, the Dog Unit, and other specialist units.

Drivers attempt to flee police during traffic blitz

POLICE BEAT

dangerously, class A motor vehicle exceed speed over 45km/h, drive while licence suspended, receive property stolen outside NSW, use unregistered motor vehicle, use uninsured motor vehicle, drive vehicle under influence of drugs, and drive conveyance without consent of owner,” police said.

“The man was refused bail to appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, March 16.”

Another case of a driver attempting to flee from police occurred on the Pacific Motorway at Tweed Heads on Sunday, March 15.

Police said it was about 1.15am, when a motorist allegedly completed a U-turn and attempted to flee.

Police were able to use road spikes and successfully stopped the vehicle.

“The driver, a 44-year-old man, was arrested and taken for mandatory testing, before being taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with police pursuit, driver manner dangerous, exceed speed over 45km/h, drive vehicle under influence of drug,” police said.

“The vehicle was impounded for three months.”

The man was granted conditional bail to appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, April 6.

The passenger in the vehicle, a 38-yearold man, was also arrested and charged with outstanding domestic-violence offences.

Regional Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Superintendent Paul Glinn said it is disappointing to see drivers continuing to put themselves, and other road users at risk by driving impaired.

“The message is simple – if you are affected by drugs or alcohol, you should not be in control of a vehicle,” Supt Glinn said.

“Drivers should remember that police can be anywhere at any time and you will get caught if you break the law.

“This applies not only to Traffic and Highway Patrol officers, but all members of NSW Police who see road safety as a serious issue.”

“Operations like this will continue in future across NSW, we want to see drivers make better choices and a positive change in the behaviour of road users, particularly in Northern NSW. “This operation has demonstrated that such changes are required by the totality of the offences detected over the past two days”.

Northern Region Highway Patrol Traffic Tactician, Inspector Peter McMenamin, said this operation has seen police not only interact with impaired drivers, but also those involved in other serious crimes.

“Just like all police, officers involved in this operation continue to protect the community, by preventing and disrupting crime,” he said.

Key statistics for Operation Nabbed North: • Breath tests conducted – 9639 • Drink driving charges – 60 • Positive drug tests – 19 • Traffic infringements – 364 “It continues to be of great concern and frustration by Police that some members of our Community continue to put themselves and their fellow Community Members at serious risk on the roads by being under the influence of Alcohol and or Prohibited Drugs,” police said.

Operation Nabbed North was conducted within the Tweed Byron Police District over the weekend of the March 13, 2020 targeting road users under the influence of Alcohol and or Prohibited Drugs.

TRACTORS NORTH is a family owned business from a property on the Darling Downs and which moved to the Tweed Shire in 2008 after starting the business in Currumbin.

Tractors North offer a range of reliable and affordable tractors with the Korean made TYM range and also Landini as well as direct imports of other models.

Man arrested at Tweed Heads for offensive behaviour

TWEED POLICE have tracked down and arrested a 32-year-old man who went on a verbal tirade at Tweed Heads on Wednesday, March 11.

Local officers said they had received multiple calls from members of the public regarding the man who was being verbally abusive and threatening.

“He had gone along streets and into a shopping centre continuing his abusing behaviour,” police said.

“Police patrolled the area for the male and found him at the bus shelter on Wharf Street, Tweed Heads verbally abusing other members of the public.”

Police approached the male and warned him of his behaviour, but he continued.

He was arrested and cautioned by police and taken back to Tweed Heads Police Station.

After the male had recovered from his state of intoxication, he was issued a court attendance notice for offensive behaviour and will front Tweed Heads Local Court on April 6.

Man’s “pot” plants get him busted

TWEED POLICE raided a Tomewin property and allegedly seized five cannabis plants on Wednesday, March 11.

Police said they observed the alleged plants growing on the property and issued a 42-year-old man with a court notice.

“The male was spoken too at the premises and police later seized what they alleged to be five cannabis plants growing in pots on the premises,” police said.

The man was scheduled to front Murwillumbah Local Court on April 23, for cultivating and possessing alleged cannabis plants.

Man caught three times legal limit

A 47-YEAR-OLD man has blown almost three times the legal limit after he was pulled over by Tweed Police on Minjungbal Drive on Sunday, March 15.

Police said they were performing stationary random breath testing (RBT) at the site at about 12.40am.

“A silver Toyota Prado was directed to enter the RBT site and stopped a short time later,” police said.

“The 47-year-old male driver was subjected to a RBT which returned a positive reading. He was subsequently placed under arrest and walked to the nearby Police RBT Bus.” A further analysis returned a high-range reading of 0.194.

The man had his licence suspended and will front Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday, May 4.

The tractors have a horsepower range from 20Hp right up to 160Hp. Tractors North offer qualified onsite repairs, servicing of all machinery and are committed to being an active supporter of the local area.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED POLICE carried out a comprehensive two-day traffic blitz across Northern NSW called Operation Nabbed North from Friday, March 13 to Saturday, March 14.

Local police were assisted by Sydney officers and carried out 9,600 breath and drug tests with 19 drug drivers and 60 drink drivers busted.

Queensland Police also supported the operation in border areas.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing for local and interstate police with several drivers attempting to leg it from officers.

Police said one man was nabbed after allegedly testing positive for drugs, before fleeing in a stolen vehicle on Saturday, March 14, at Kirkwood Road, Tweed Heads South.

Police said they stopped the driver of a Holden Commodore for a breath and drug test at about 11pm.

“It was subsequently established that the vehicle had been reported stolen from a residential property in Queensland on Friday, March 13,” police said.

“The driver was subjected to a breath test, which returned negative, and a drug test, before police noticed the man’s licence was suspended.

“The driver allegedly accelerated from the scene and a pursuit was initiated.”

Police used road spikes at the on-ramp to the Pacific Motorway at Brunswick Heads, with the vehicle coming to a stop a short time later.

Police will allege the driver attempted to flee the scene on foot but was arrested and taken to Byron Bay Hospital for mandatory testing.

“Upon release, the 23-year-old Queensland man was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station and charged with police pursuit – not stop – drive

Stone & Wood turn wastewater into beer

Councillors share

By Jonathon Howard OUR TWEED Shire Councillors are calling on residents to remain calm and keep informed as the coronavirus begins to creep into our daily lives with concerns for elderly residents and increasing pressure on health care systems.

However, most councillors also emphasised feeling “relatively safe” within the Tweed, with large events now being cancelled or postponed with increased hygiene standards high on the agenda for everyone this month.

goods such as freezers and televisions were highly sought after.

“We’re all in this together so stay calm, be considerate of others and, when shopping, only buy what you need,” he said.

“The situation is changing rapidly so stay up to date with the latest information about the spread of COVID-19 and the steps being taken to slow the spread.”

Mayor Katie Milne

James Perrin and Ben Summons with a sample of the beer wastewater before and after

we are one of the driest places on Earth.

“The water that comes out of the reverse osmosis process is as pure as you can get – great for brewing.”

James said the key to normalising the idea of recycled water is changing attitudes.

“My hope is that by using perfectly good recycled water in this beer, it will start to change people’s perspectives on

what sustainable water management could look like,” he said.

On behalf of Stone & Wood, James invites the Northern Rivers community to Stone & Wood’s Tasting Room on World Water Day, Sunday, March 22, to surmount the stigma and share a round of Beer-Water Beer with their mates.

“We think people will be very surprised,” James said.

Cr James Owen

Councillors shared their views on the growing virus issue including Cr James Owen who has called for calm and for residents to “only buy what they need”.

Cr Owen’s comments were made as meat, eggs, fresh produce and even white

Mayor Katie Milne issued a public statement earlier this week and emphasised the need for high standards of hygiene.

“One of the key recommendations from health officials is that people maintain good hygiene practices, with 20 to 30 seconds of warm soapy hand washing regularly.

Self-isolate when unwell and if concerned, seek medical advice,” Mayor Milne said.

By Jonathon Howard ALWAYS LOOKING for the next big innovation that’s also sustainable, Stone & Wood has brewed up a beer using purified wastewater at its Murwillumbah facility labelled BeerWater Beer.

The beer was brewed in celebration of the United Nation’s World Water Day on Sunday, March 22, to promote recycling water and water efficiency in line with this year’s theme.

The one-off limited pilot batch beer is available at Stone & Wood’s Tasting Room in Byron Bay from Sunday, March 22, the recycled wastewater beer, named Beer-Water Beer, is a 4.7 per cent summer ale brewed using wastewater.

The wastewater, which is the excess water used in the brewing process that wasn’t turned into beer, was used to brew Beer-Water Beer and was processed through Stone & Wood’s ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis (UFRO) system.

Installed in early 2018, the UFRO system turns brewery wastewater into perfectly usable water by stripping out all the impurities and turning the hazy wastewater into crystal clear water.

Currently, Stone & Wood only use this reclaimed water for utilities and cleaning at their Murwillumbah brewery, but, according to their Sustainability Manager, James Perrin, there’s no reason other than stigma that stops them brewing with it.

“All water is essentially recycled in one way or another, and in many places around the world sewage is treated and recycled back into, or upstream of, the drinking supply,” James said.

“If done properly, it is completely safe and harmless.

“In Australia, we have a history of rejecting recycled water initiatives, yet

their advice and concerns for the coronavirus crisis “It’s also a good idea to reconsider how we greet people, using others ways to say hello rather than shaking hands.

“Overall, the best advice we can give our local community is to stay up to date with information from credible health and government authorities.”

Cr Pryce Allsop

Cr Pryce Allsop said he hoped it was more of a flu than a death penalty, although he said he felt a sense of safety living on the Tweed.

“It’s one of those things, as the numbers grow, we just hope we get away with this as a non-event for the Tweed Shire,” he said.

“Having said that I’m not naive, even the famous Tom Hanks and his wife contracted the virus.

“I don’t begin to really know medically what’s best and making comments or giving over to medical advice isn’t something I should engage in either.

“I can speak theoretically on our economy and speculate on those effects.”

Cr Allsop said he believed the Federal Government was handing out money “way too early” and felt it was also untargeted to where it’s needed most.

“It could be six months to a year to find out how this will impact businesses, initially, it’s more of a game of wait and see,” he said.

Cr Allsop said he felt Australia was far more removed from other foreign economies, whilst he believes Tweed’s economy has been struggling and this virus will not help.

“I am concerned about those businesses that rely on foot traffic and visitation,” he said.

“The message seems to suggest we stay at home.

“This advice could create tough economic times, online shoppers are not necessarily stimulating our economy, online stores are a global source of supply, so if we are shopping from home, money is not necessarily going back into local economies. “ O ve r h e a d s re m a i n a constant for most businesses so covering those expenses will be difficult without regular traffic.

“I do fear for our elderly people if this virus starts to run rampant.”

Cr Allsop questioned

whether the Tweed and Murwillumbah hospitals can cope, it’s not a time to be cutting our nursing numbers.

“I would urge the government to reconsider any moves to downsize the Murwillumbah Hospital or to reduce its capabilities,” he said.

“You would think with Tweed’s ageing population there would be a strengthening of the hospital services.

“Please, stay well people of the Tweed, best wishes and good health.”

“It’s been an eye-opener, first I thought it was a bit over the top, but I found out he was ahead of the game.

“I do not remain casual about the virus and have family at risk and hope that we all come together as a community and work together as a community to get through this epidemic.

“I also hope we gain a stronger community out of all of it, because we finally have to pull together.

“I think we will come out with a community that’s working together.”

sooner rather than later.”

Cr Polglase praised the local hospital and health workers and said he also felt sense of safety in the Tweed.

“The older residents are well prepared to respond to the situation. And have experienced hard times and difficult times in the past.”

Cr Polglase said he also believes the Tweed will come out of the coronavirus stronger than ever.

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry Cr Ron Cooper

Cr Ron Cooper said one of the best leaders in the unfolding virus situation has been Tweed Shire Council’s General Manger Troy Green.

Cr Cooper praised Mr Green on his response to the coronavirus announcement from the Federal Government after he was quick to mobilise action within Council.

“He’s keeping his staff safe and he’s giving good advice to the broader community,” he said.

Cr Warren Polglase

Cr Warren Polglase said he had concerns for part-time employees across the Tweed Shire, but felt older residents were also prepared.

“There is a short-term risk to employment and businesses of up to four or five months.”

Cr Polglase said. “ I h o p e t h e Fe d e r a l Government’s stimulus package will be put out

Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said it was important to limit exposure where possible.

“Council is taking precautionary actions to protect our most vulnerable re s i d e n t s, o u r e l d e r ly, by l i m i ti ng our publ i c gatherings,” she said.

“Everyone has someone they care very much about in this demographic and anything we can do to help limit their exposure to the coronavirus is a positive step.”

Cr Reece Byrnes

Cr Reece Byrnes said there remains a lot of misinfor mation but emphasised the need to follow the advice from all levels of government.

“My advice remains to follow federal and state authorities on this matter,” he said.

“Maintain social isolation where possible. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after eating or using the toilet.

“Cough into your elbow, and do not shake hands and please seek medical advice if you feel sick.

“It is going to be a hard time for our shire and local business, but the best we can do to come out of this crisis as quickly as possible is the follow the advice and warnings of government and our health professionals.”

Rare beauties still making heads turn

By Jonathon Howard AS THE community gets to grips with the end of the Holden brand, it’s encouraging to see that the end of a car company in Australia does not mean the end of the enthusiasm.

The Chrysler brand suffered a similar fate in 1981 with the end of manufacturing of Chrysler cars at Tonsley Park in South Australia and the exit of the brand from Australia for many years.

Fast forward to today and interest in all things Chrysler is as strong as ever in the hearts and minds of car enthusiasts.

Passionate Chrysler owner Paul Hession said classic Chrysler cars are highly sought after today and this is reflected in high sale prices.

“The high performance, Australian produced, E49 Chargers can command hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction,” he said.

The Chrysler of the past will be celebrated at the Gold Coast Tweed Chrysler Club’s annual show and shine on Sunday, March 29.

The event will take place at Burleigh Heads Town Tavern on Tsipura Drive Burleigh Heads.

“In one location, there will be around 100 examples of the Chrysler brand on display, with some of the finest examples of both Australian and American Mopar cars,” Mr Hession said.

“From meticulously restored classic Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths and Valiants from the 1930s, through

Expect to see some rare gems at the annual Chrysler Show and Shine

to highly modified Mopar street machines, there will be something for all car enthusiasts.”

For a great trip down memory lane, visit Burleigh Heads from 10am (NSW time).

To enter a Chrysler car in the show is $5, but admission is free for spectators.

For more information please see Paul Hession at Mapp and Hession Pharmacy on King Street in Murwillumbah.

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

Instant asset tax write off

THE FEDERAL Government has handed the private sector a $700 million boost, in the form of an expanded instant asset tax write-off scheme for small business.

In an address to the nation on Wednesday night and a follow-up press release, Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealed that as part of the government’s $17.6 billion ‘economic plan’ to stave off recession, the instant asset tax write-off will migrate from a $30,000 ceiling for the asset to as much as $150,000.

Furthermore, eligible businesses are no longer limited to those with an annual revenue of $50 million or less.

The revised tax write-off will now be offered to businesses earning up to $500 million a year.

According to the government, the revised tax write-off – available until June 30, 2020 – opens up numerous options for businesses in need of a new commercial vehicle, which could include a new tractor for a farm, earth-moving equipment or heavier vans and light trucks for haulage.

In addition, the government is also setting aside $3.2 billion for a time-limited (15-month) investment incentive, providing businesses the opportunity to claim a further 50 per cent depreciation of the asset cost during the year of purchase. This offer ends June 30, 2021.

“Our targeted stimulus package will focus on keeping Australians in jobs and keeping businesses in business so we can bounce back strongly,” the Prime Minister was quoted as saying in the press release.

“The economy needs temporary help right now to bounce back better so the livelihoods of all Australians are protected.”

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg revealed in the press release that international credit rating agency Standard and Poor’s had approved of the plan, stating that it would be ‘unlikely to strain Australia’s creditworthiness’.

“Today’s announcement will provide the support businesses need to stay in business and keep Australians in a job,” Mr Frydenberg also said.

“By acting decisively this package will put Australia in the strongest possible position to deal with the economic challenges we face and to make sure our economy bounces back even stronger.”

Car manufacturers down tools in EU

THE PSA Group has announced that all of its Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel and Vauxhall plants in Europe will close until March 27 in the wake of the worsening coronavirus outbreak, according to Motoring.com.

Beginning overnight, the first of PSA’s facilities to wind down production will be its plant in Mulhouse, France and its manufacturing hub in Madrid, Spain.

Factory closures will then continue over the next few days at Luton in the UK, with the Trnava plant in Slovakia being the last to end production on March 19.

Mirroring similar action from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, with which PSA has now merged, a statement from Groupe PSA said: “Due to the acceleration observed in recent days of serious COVID-19 cases close to certain production sites, supply disruptions from major suppliers, as well as the sudden decline in the automobile markets, the Chairman of the Executive Board with the members of the crisis unit, decided the principle of the closure of the vehicle production sites, according to the following schedule and until March 27.”

In the UK, the Vauxhall brand is reportedly in talks to switch production of the Astra in Ellesmere Port and the Vivaro van in Luton to instead produce life-saving medical ventilators.

ETC Charity Golf Day a success with thousands raised FOURTEEN BUSINESSES across the Murwillumbah region showed their support for the Wollumbin Family Support Inc by participating in ETC’s Charity Golf Day on Friday, March 13, at the Murwillumbah Golf Club.

A generous $2,310 was raised for the service which supports victims of domestic violence across the Tweed Shire.

ETC Business Relationship Manager, Alec Betham, said he was proud of the local community’s response to the event.

“The support we’ve had from the local businesses has been great – they are very community minded,” Mr Betham said.

“The money raised came from a collection of sponsorship dollars and items raffled off to golfers on the day.

“There were even some businesses who couldn’t attend, but still wanted to support the cause.

“One of the raffle prizes was won by a volunteer and was donated to the charity for a silent auction.

“This auction currently sits at $1,000 which will increase the

current total of $2,310 at the completion of the auction.”

Wollumbin Family Support President Ilze Jaunberzins thanked ETC and the local community for their generosity.

“My heart is so full. It was a tremendous event of goodwill and support to the mission of Wollumbin Family Support,” Ms Jaunberzins said.

“The money raised will pay for another term of the Love Bites Program at Murwillumbah High School – which is an extremely successful school based domestic and family violence, sexual assault

and consent awareness education program.”

ETC would like to thank the following businesses: •Stone and Wood – sponsored $400 and donated products • Hampton Hire – sponsored $200 • Nutra Organics – sponsored $200 • Daniel Gray Plumbing – Sponsored $400 • M av i s ’s K i t c h e n – $ 2 5 0 accommodation package donation • Johnny Franco’s Restaurant – $100 meal voucher donation • Pickled Pig Brewery – $150 product donation

• Paradise Resort Surfers Paradise – $250 accommodation package donation • Kitz Living Foods – $150 product donation • Wallboard Products – sponsored $200 • Power and Mind – sponsored $200 • Von Bibra Motor Group –$200 worth movie tickets donation • Consulting IT – donated prize that was raffled worth $1300 • Mudgeeraba Redbacks Rugby League Club – donated prize for silent auction

THERE ARE some great ways to help you avoid catching coronavirus or flu for that matter this cold season.

The Weekly has compiled a complete list of ways to avoid getting sick including some practical advice and more comprehensive tips.

Wash your hands often and correctly Wet your hands, scrub everywhere (under those fingernails, too) with soap for at least 20 seconds, then rinse and dry well with a clean towel.

If you don’t have access to soap and water, hand sanitiser works, but health experts are recommending soap as the foam covers the hands to wash pathogens away. When

using hand sanitiser ensure your are covering all areas of your hands.

Keep social distance by avoiding close contact Stay at least 1.5 metres feet away from someone who is sick. The virus can spread through respiratory droplets, which are easy to breathe in if you are close to someone who has the coronavirus and is coughing.

Avoid touching your face, including eyes, nose and mouth It’s easy to touch a surface that may be contaminated with the virus and then unknowingly touch your face.

The virus can transfer from your hands to your nose and mouth and then enter your body and make you sick.

Cover your cough or sneeze Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose as you cough and sneeze and then throw it out. Wash your hands immediately after. You can also cough or sneeze into your elbow. This helps prevent respiratory droplets from spreading to those in close contact with you.

Wear a face mask if you are sick People who are healthy do not need to wear a face mask, people who are sick and around others should.

A face mask can help stop respiratory droplets from spreading but also tells others you’re not feeling well.

Most importantly, stay home if you’re sick

TWEED SHIRE residents wanting to boost their immune system to keep extra healthy during the coronavirus crisis can try taking eating the following vitaminrich foods.

While not a guarantee to warn off nasty flu and viruses, vitamins can help boost your immune system which can help you recover quickly or avoid the flu altogether.

Vitamin C is one of the biggest immune system boosters of all.

In fact, a lack of vitamin C can even make you more prone to getting sick.

Foods rich in vitamin C include oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, strawberries, bell peppers, spinach, kale and broccoli.

Daily intake of vitamin C is essential for good health because your body doesn’t produce or store it.

The good news is that vitamin C is in so many foods that most people don’t need to take a vitamin C supplement unless a doctor advises it.

Vitamin B6 is vital to supporting biochemical reactions in the immune system. Vitamin B6rich foods include chicken and cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna.

Vitamin B6 also is found in green vegetables and in chickpeas, which is the main ingredient in hummus.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body fight off infection.

Foods rich in vitamin E include nuts, seeds and spinach.

at the Footy The broadcasting rights rule the game and i’m sure if there was flexibility here we wouldn’t be watching any Rugby League this weekend but at $2 million a game you can understand why V’Landys is keen to ‘play on’.

I can’t agree with his request for money from the government. $200 million is a lot of money and when mum and dad businesses will go broke and people be put out of work I think those on NRL salaries can survive for a bit longer yet before putting the hand straight out. Might have a bit to do with poor administration previously

in that there isn’t much of a slush fund like AFL, EPL, NBA etc to push on with an extended break.

On a lighter note, how good was the footy on the weekend.

Kikau started 2020 where he finished last year just being a beast and got the Panthers home against the premiers.

Melbourne continued a 17 year streak of round 1 victories, the Raiders exploded for 20 minutes to put the game to bed and Fifita! Wow, what a try, what a player, what potential. Add to that Payne Haas playing 80 minutes like he did in the front row was simply amazing.

Pangai Jnr had a brain explosion but the Broncos were quite impressive. Old Wayne was up to his usual

tricks with Latrell only playing 55minutes but they did enough.

Good interview with Justin Holbrook on NRL 360 during the week.

He was supportive of his players and staff but at the same time he did mention his intentions and what was acceptable and not.

O n ly d i s ap p o i n t m e n t was his failure to mention Northern Rivers kids wanting to and being able to play NRL for the Titans one day, considering the success of the 16s and 18s in the Andrew Johns Cup and Laurie Daley cup’s recently.

I can’t say see you at the footy so hopefully you can watch a few on the tube.

Mick & Steve

Tim

Jodie & Janelle

with Quinny UNPRECEDENTED TIMES in the world, the world of sport and the NRL. Games to be played in front of no crowds this weekend.

All other rugby league outside of NRL has been suspended until May 1 at least and June 5 in Qld. Given the current climate it has to be done.

I do hope the NRL can continue but i’m pessimistic and believe if we get past round 4 it will be a miracle.

The poor Warriors are in a terrible spot and it is obviously not logical to assume they will play the season out in Australia.

Local News 35

Patients urged to call before visiting doctor Range of events cancelled

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE medical clinics and hospitals are taking measures to ensure patients and staff stay safe during the COVID-19 crisis, including having patients call to discuss their situation so there is no risk of infecting other patients.

Fever clinics have also been set up, including at The Tweed Hospital, to ensure the safety of the public and health workers.

Health authorities say it is vital that anyone who may have the virus doesn’t mix with others until they have been tested and cleared to ensure Australia does not end up in the same situation as China or Italy who have reported thousands of deaths.

Patients must not enter medical clinics if they have any of the symptoms of the virus, have travelled overseas in the last 30 days or come into contact with someone who has, or who has, or may have COVID-19.

Symptoms include fever, coughing, sore throat, fatigue, and shortness of breath Telehealth conferencing has been introduced so that patients in self-isolation or who have been quarantined are able to access health services from home.

According to the Federal Government, telehealth services are available to “people isolating themselves at home on the advice of a medical practitioner, in accordance with home isolation guidance issued by the AHPPC, and people who meet the current national triage protocol criteria for suspected COVID-19 infection after consultation with either the national COVID-19 hotline, state COVID-19 hotlines, registered medical or nursing practitioner or COVID-19 trained health clinic triage staff”.

Over the next six months, telehealth will also be available to people aged over 70, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged over 50, people with chronic health conditions or who are immunocompromised, and also to parents with new babies and people who are pregnant.

The government advises that people in isolation or quarantine for COVID-19 can see any eligible health provider through new telehealth items.

Patients in vulnerable groups can also see a health provider via telehealth for a non-COVID-19 matter if they have seen that provider face-to-face at least once in the previous 12 months.

Some medical clinics have temporarily ceased taking online bookings, presumably so staff can speak to patients to gauge whether they need to be isolated.

One Tweed clinic have introduced new practice protocols to ensure patients and staff stay safe.

Patients with fever, coughs, sore throats and shortness of breath or those who have travelled overseas in the last 30 days or had close contact with someone diagnosed with or suspected of having coronavirus in the last 30 days are asked not to attend the clinic but to ring 13health (13 43 25 84) or visit their website: health.gov.au and search “corona”.

Hand sanitising stations have been set up at the entrance to most clinics and patients are asked to consider the safety of others and sanitise their hands on entering.

Waiting rooms at many clinics such as Tweed Health for Everyone have been rearranged to keep patients the recommended distance of 1.5 metres apart, with new rooms set up for parents with children.

Anyone presenting with fever symptoms will be immediately sent to a special isolation bay, but anyone who believes they may be at risk of having COVID-19 is still asked to go to the Fever Clinic at The Tweed Hospital as a matter of urgency.

The Fever Clinic is for people who have respiratory symptoms or fever and who are at risk of COVID-19, for example because they were in contact with a COVID-19 case, or have returned from overseas in the 14 days before the onset of symptoms.

The clinic is currently open from 10am to 6pm seven days a week, although hours may change with demand.

People do not need to call ahead to attend these clinics, but if attending an Emergency Department outside those hours, or attending a GP, it is vital people phone ahead to ensure other patients are not infected.

There is also a Fever Clinic at Lismore Base Hospital.

or postponed in 2020

A fever clinic has been set up at The Tweed Hospital

The Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) said its Public Health Unit is closely monitoring and following up suspected cases.

“As with other public hospitals in NSW, we are arranging to double the ICU capacity in hospitals in Northern NSW and to prepare for a significant increase in respiratory presentations to Emergency Department,” a statement from the NNSWLHD said.

“All our facilities are planning for a potential increase in presentations of people with respiratory illness over the coming weeks and months, and we’re working with NSW Health to maximise available critical care resources.

“We have not cancelled elective surgery, but are reviewing the need to bring some cases forward, particularly those which may require Intensive Care support, in light of the expected increase in demand for ICU services in the coming weeks.”

The board is meeting with health providers regularly and “providing support to staff in our health facilities, ensuring they follow appropriate infection control measures, hand hygiene and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (including masks) in addition to standard precautions”.

“We are providing information and support to staff in forward planning and managing any leave issues that may arise,” the statement said.

“We are exploring opportunities to source additional and back up staff, in the event that more health workers are required to assist with medical and nursing care.”

Anyone who is concerned they may have COVID-19 should self-isolate and immediately phone: Healthdirect on 1800 022 222, available 24 hours a day, or visit the website: health.gov.au

Big help on the way to Tweed for COVID-19

THE NSW Government is delivering major investment to keep Tweed residents safer from the coronavirus, to keep Tweed workers in jobs and to keep Tweed small business solvent, according to Tweed Nationals MP Geoff Provest.

“This is an excellent package for the Tweed and a big help in these challenging times,” Mr Provest said.

“On the health front, The Tweed Hospital will get its share of $700 million in immediate

extra funding to strengthen our response to COVID-19, including increased ICU capacity, more testing and additional equipment like ventilators and establishing acute respiratory clinics.”

Mr Provest said another $500 million would keep schools, social housing and buses safer by hiring extra cleaners and bringing forward maintenance.

“There is also help for small business with breaks on payroll taxes and the

temporary abolition of a raft of fees that small businesses normally pay, Mr Provest said.

“This is particularly important for Tweed cafes, pubs clubs and restaurants who are obviously facing drastic drops in customer numbers at present.

“It is also important we cut fees for tradies, because they too are facing a difficult immediate future.”

A RANGE of local events have been postponed or cancelled this week as community groups and residents continue to grapple with the unfolding coronavirus pandemic.

Please note this list is up to date as of Wednesday, March 18, and more events may have been postponed or cancelled.

1. BEATS Awards has been cancelled this year until 2021.

2. Kingscliff Beach Triathlon has been postponed and is yet to announce a new date for the event.

14. Splendour in the Grass has been postponed until October 23, 24 and 25 at the North Byron Parklands.

Fines for breaking quarantine

NSW PREMIER Gladys Berejiklian has warned those that do not comply with Australia’s new coronavirus selfisolation rules could face fines and prison time.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Scott Morrison ordered anyone returning to Australia from overseas would be required to self-isolate for two weeks.

Ms Berejiklian said police would target anyone breaking the crackdown.

“People should report these cases of people turning up to work when they shouldn’t. If they’re engaging in community and social life and they shouldn’t, let us know,” she said.

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said people who failed to comply with the new laws could face up to six months in prison and a fine of up to $11,000.

The Federal Health Department is advising that everyone should be practising social distancing, as it reduces the potential for transmission of the coronavirus.

For non-essential activities outside the workplace or attendance at schools, universities and childcare social distancing includes: avoiding crowds and mass gatherings where it is difficult to keep the appropriate distance away from others, avoiding small gatherings in enclosed spaces, attempting to keep a distance of 1.5 metres from others, avoiding shaking hands, hugging, or kissing other people and avoiding visiting vulnerable people, such as those in aged care facilities or hospitals, infants, or people with compromised immune systems due to illness or medical treatment.

Weekly readers share photos of beautiful butterflies

All images by Jennifer Waldron

By Jonathon Howard THE WEEKLY recently laid down the challenge for Tweed Shire residents to capture and send us their best butterfly images following recent heavy rainfall.

Readers have since answered the call and sent some cracking shots of rare and big butterflies.

“I saw the butterfly article by Jo Kennett last week,” wrote one reader Jennifer Waldron whose pictures are featured this week.

“I was fortunate to have a kaleidoscope of butterflies visit my garden recently.

“They were the endangered Richmond birdwing butterflies which used to be very common.”

Ms Waldron said she was concerned the birdwing’s precious butterfly vine, Pararistolochia praevenosa, had been cleared across the Tweed, but remains optimistic.

“I was in the museum in Murwillumbah last week and saw the excellent new display there which included our beautiful local butterflies,” she said.

“I was fascinated to see that this butterfly is the totem for the Bundjalung people and their name for it is ‘Bundjalam’.

“It is encouraging to know that conservation groups are restoring habitat.”

Several other readers dropped off butterfly images.

If you have an rare or interesting photo you would like to share with readers, please email editor@theweekly.net.au

with Nic

I believe we live in one of the most naturally beautiful parts of Australia and this is certainly where I will focus my journeys.

Why not get out and walk amongst nature.

There are those walks that are more well-known like Wollumbin or Natural

EMMA

Jane Austen is such a familiar name that it is difficult to write anything that readers would not already know. Emma is one of Austen’s comic novels and the last published before the writer’s death. It has already been adapted for several films (first in 1995, again in 1996 starring Gwyneth Paltrow and then in 2010), TV series and stage plays. It was also the inspiration for several other novels.

There are many great places to visit within the Tweed Shire such as Mavis's Kitchen while international travel is off the agenda

Bridge. There are also plenty of options for the more adventurous.

A Night Away

It’s amazing how refreshed you can feel just by having a day or two away from home.

Book a night out on the coast in Pottsville, spend some time in haute at the amazing EcoOasis out in Uki or head further afield to one of the little towns located in the Byron hinterland.

We recently stayed the weekend in Eltham and with no internet or phone coverage, simply read books and recharged.

Foodie Road Trip

You don’t have to travel for a world class meal when you live and play in the Tweed Shire.

Devour a degustation dinner at Pipit, enjoy a tapas night at Mavis’s Kitchen or experience the farm to food feast of Potager.

Plus, don’t forget, there is of course all of the incredible options in Murwillumbah – Jujus, Wild Thyme, Bacaro and Johnny Franco’s just to name a few.

If you are interested in coming on one of my journeys, pick up the phone and give me a call 0422 930 458.

So, what is there more to say about it? One thing is that the title of the recently released new film adaptation of the novel is Emma.

Yes, Emma with a full stop after the name. Why? Perhaps the film’s director Autumn de Wilde is hoping that this will be the last and definitive version of the story of Emma Woodhouse, a young woman who interferes in the love lives of her friends and is considered an example of Jane Austen’s feminist characterization of female heroines, in terms of both female individuality and independence.

Emma is a comedy of manners revolving around issues of marriage, sex, age, and social status. But differently from other Austen heroines, Emma is financially independent and seems immune to romantic attraction, at least until her final selfrevelation concerning her true affections.

Recently there has been a revival of films by female filmmakers – like the recent Little Women by Greta Gerwig – that try to infuse a contemporary spirit in classic stories. This is the case with this film as well. Autumn de Wilde is an art and commercial photographer well known for her photos and videos of musicians and for her keen eye for colours and textures. She channels her artistic sensitivity in her directorial debut movie as well, which has been scripted by Man Booker prize-winner Eleanor Catton.

So, if you are in the mood for a funny and insightful look at the life of old-time snobs of the British period of the Regency and ready to laugh at the pettiness of the characters’ quarrels, the smallness of their scandals, and the needless complications of their romances without losing track of their humanity, Emma. is for you.

JourknCoendyon s THE CORONAVIRUS has put everyone’s travel plans into disarray this month.

While I would normally be off travelling the world, I’ve decided to instead focus locally and come up with some great ways to experience our beautiful Tweed Shire.

It’s disappointing to look forward to a trip so much then not be able to go.

We were booked to go to Ireland in April for two weeks over the school holidays and I can tell you now it’s not looking good.

As someone who takes people on immersive journeys all over the world, I’ve also had to rethink my business model.

I’m going to be leading some local journeys for a little while.

If you had your holidays booked and you’re looking for something that is exciting to do that’s different then let’s do that locally.

MURWILLUMBAH

Megan Albany

“It’s an honest but funny look at death which no one wants to talk about because we take it all too seriously.

“Often very funny things happen when people are dying and there can be hilarious conversations about taboo subjects.

“My friend, for example, asked one of her visiting friends to go along with a practical joke she wanted to play on her family ‒ she thought it would be funny to pretend she had died, so that’s the kind of black humour she had.”

The List is written from three different perspectives, the dying woman, her husband and her son.

“It’s like a bogan’s guide to dying,” Megan said.

“The main character is pretty rough around the edges and definitely not politically correct.

It’s a journey of imperfection.

“We don’t always embrace death like Oprah,” she laughed, quickly adding, “not that I wouldn’t want to be an author in Oprah’s book club.”

Megan said the Highly Commended award was “an affirmation that I’m on track”.

“Putting your work out there is as much a self-esteem journey as a publishing journey, it’s trying to keep your belief in your work intact while people say yes or no to you,” she said.

“The Pathways to Publishing Program is helpful because you have someone who knows what to say or not to say to the publisher and how to follow up with them.

“I have it with an agent and a couple of publishers at the moment so I’m waiting to hear back.

“I’ve already started on the sequel which is called Listless.

“Listless is all about dealing with grief and the aftermath of death and the helpful and not so helpful things people say to you.

“It’s also about finding when it’s okay to move on with your life.”

By Jo Kennett A KUNGHUR author has won a mentorship and a place in a publishing program and is hoping to see her manuscript, a black comedy about dying, in print in the near future.

The manuscript of Megan Albany, a journalist at The Weekly, was Highly Commended in the Australian Society of Authors 2020 Award Mentorship Program for Writers and Illustrators.

Megan was one of two highly commended adult fiction winners who will receive an appraisal of the first ten pages of their manuscript, as well as the Pathways to Publishing Program.

“The book is called The List and came out of spending time with a friend of mine who died at Wedgetail Retreat,” Megan said.

“She had post-traumatic stress and so myself and her aunty slept at Wedgetail and the hospital with her for the six weeks before she passed away.

“She had a wicked sense of humour and helped me to realise that there can still be humour and joy even when someone is dying.

“While I have lost a lot of friends in the past few years, this book is definitely based on a fictional character.

“The title for the book came out of the idea that even when you are dying, there are still jobs to get done.

“And the idea that mothers especially don’t get to rest in peace while they are sick.

“The List it’s not a man’s bucket list of exciting adventures, it’s a woman’s list of all the boring jobs you still have to do when you are dying.”

Megan said the lead character in her black comedy is very flawed.

“She has a to do list for herself, a list for her husband and a list for her child,” she said.

“People think when you are dying you get all spiritual but you don’t necessarily have this big enlightenment, you still get annoyed with your husbands and your kids.

“You still care about petty things like when your husband comes home and puts the newly bought fruit and veg on top of the old rotting veggies in the fridge drawer.

“And then there are all the practicalities of dying like picking out a coffin and organising songs for your own funeral which, while that might not usually be thought of as funny, end up providing a lot of the humour in the novel.

Megan, who has worked a journalist, editor, scriptwriter, songwriter and composer, said The List is “funny and it’s sad but it’s real”.

“All of us are going to die one day but life has to continue, you still have to buy toilet paper.

PASSIONATE FUNDRAISER Tony O’Connor, 56, passed through the Tweed Shire on Monday, March 16, after riding more than 1,000km to raise funds for Red Nose.

It is the eighth long distance ride Mr O’Connor has undertaken from his hometown of Wamboin near Canberra to Tweed Heads.

Mr O’Connor and his wife Kate were thrilled to finally become parents in 2009 but sadly on January 13, their daughter Ellen arrived at full-term but stillborn.

“We were devastated to say the least,” Tony said.

“Our plans to be parents had stopped and it felt like our world had halted.”

Mr O’Connor said the couple felt fortunate that Red Nose provided counselling and support to help.

“The counselling services provided to us were lifesaving,” he said.

It was for this reason Mr O’Connor said that he decided to ride to the border to fundraise in support of Red Nose.

“So other parents in this situation can also get their wonderful support,” he said.

To make a donation in support of Tony’s ride, visit his Everyday Hero page.

- Subsidising the cost of training apprentices up to $21,000 per eligible applicant.

A Personal Letter to All Banora & Tweed Patients Hello Everyone This month marks the end of a two year restriction on all communication to my former patients at Banora and Tweed.

This is a usual practice when a clinic is sold.

Due to the circumstances at the time, I had no opportunity to advise you all and to say my goodbyes.

Therefore, I would like to take this time now, to convey to you all my deepest appreciation and offer a heartfelt thank you for your loyal patronage.

I feel totally honoured that I have been able to serve the Banora/Tweed community over these last two decades.

Please know that I hold very fond memories of you all, and wish everyone wonderful health and trust that your footcare needs are in great hands.

I continue to work in my Murwillumbah practice on a part time basis 02 6672 2844.

With the Warmest Regards

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!

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.

I’m following the path God has laid, you see.

I took His hand when I heard His call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fi ll it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee.

God wanted me now, He set me free

By Rachael Lebeter T W E E D S H I R E re s i d e n t s reported a black swan in a bad way after it became entangled in fishing line with a hook down its throat recently.

The bird, which was rescued by Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers, had fishing line around its neck and had swallowed the hook.

Because entangled swans can usually still fly and swim, rescues such as this one can often take days.

This means the animal is likely to develop an infection or internal injuries and will need to be euthanised once caught, in order to stop its suffering.

Fortunately for the black swan that was reported last week, was successfully caught by a TVWC carer on the day that the call was made to TVWC’s 24-jour hotline on (02) 6672 4789.

This meant that the swan could receive immediate treatment.

The hook and fishing line were removed, and the swan has since been released into the wild.

Many birds are injured by fishing line each year, despite the increasing use of the fishing line bins located at popular fishing spots throughout the Tweed Shire.

Waterbirds, in particular, are at risk of both entanglement and becoming snared by fishing hooks, which can cause extensive damage.

Birds suffering from fishing line entanglement can be very difficult to catch, often requiring a team of rescuers to go out in the TVWC boat.

When animals swallow a hook, it

Report illegal dumping NE WASTE in partnership with Tweed Shire Council are urging Tweed residents to report illegal dumping which continues to be major issue throughout the shire.

“If rubbish such as household furniture, tyres and building materials dumped on kerbsides or in the bush in your area makes you see red, remember – you can help stop it,” a spokesperson for NE Waste said.

“Illegal dumping is a bad look, is very costly to clean up and can be a serious hazard to both the environment and human health.”

Illegal dumping reports made via the www.ridonline.epa.nsw. gov.au website will automatically be sent to council so that it can be investigated and cleaned up as quickly as possible. On the spot fines

is particularly concerning as this can stop them eating and cause internal injuries, which are often untreatable.

Unattended fishing lines pose the greatest risk and residents on canals and houseboats are asked not to leave lines out when they are not home.

The bait on unattended lines looks like food to many waterbirds including swans, pelicans, darters, cormorants and gulls.

By only using attended lines, it can prevent many waterbirds from swallowing fishing hooks.

Fishers are also asked not to fish near foraging birds.

For example, in the canal where the black swan was rescued, there were fishing lines near feeding birds including silver gulls, pacific black ducks, pelicans and multiple black swans.

By setting up away from waterbirds, the risk posed by fishing lines is significantly decreased.

Another risk to waterbirds is the habit of feeding them fish scraps, such as heads and guts.

This encourages the birds to hang around popular fishing spots and also increases their risk of being

snared on a line, as casting out looks similar to someone throwing food.

Fish scraps can be given to birds safely if they are placed, not thrown, out of the water on the shore, away from fishing spots.

Waterbirds are also suffering malnutrition and illness due to the number of well-meaning locals who are feeding them. Unfortunately, feeding birds the wrong type of food, in particular bread, leads to all sorts of health problems as well as bad habits.

Although we never encourage feeding wildlife, if you must feed waterbirds, please feed them the right type of food. Otherwise you are doing the animals more harm than good. Green vegetables such as lettuce and spinach are the best option for waterbirds such as ducks, geese and swans.

They may also eat small amounts of thawed frozen peas or corn or cooled steamed broccoli and carrot.

Do not feed them too much, and never feed them bread.

Report all injured or distressed wildlife to the TVWC 24-Hour Hotline on (02) 6672 4789.

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey BOWLS AUSTRALIA have issued an instruction, effective immediately, on March 17, that all bowls events, social and competitive, are now suspended for an indefinite period.

TBD Women’s Fours Championships scheduled to be completed in two days were transformed into a marathon event last week, thanks to old Huey’s bad disposition.

Senior Fours were eventually completed one day later than planned, whilst the Open Fours are still in the cooking pot with the Pottsville/Kingscliff final (part played, at that) rescheduled for this week.

Semi One in the Seniors Category with Pottsville’s George Moore, Marie Comerford, Jill Morris

and Sue Lawrance challenging Kingscliff’s Aileen McNamara, Joan Francis, Julie Cowie and Sue Fowler resulted in the Pottsville team holding a comfy lead for the first fourteen ends. The Kingscliff ladies then lifted to score well and level the card on 17-17 on the 17th end. However, a concerted effort from the Pottsville team was rewarded with a two shot win on the last end to give them a berth in the final.

Semi Two consisted of an all in Kingscliff affair with June Munn, Laurel Poole, Sheila Cancillier and Jenny White vying with Sandra Akers, Robyn Fuller, Di Jones and Anne Wonka for a spot in the final.

Team Munn held a narrow lead for twelve ends before Akers and Co took over. With these two teams

going toe to toe, the card levelled to 13-13 on 16 ends. Team Akers then collected a count of 5 to create a healthy margin with just one end to play only to be snookered by Munn’s team who counter scored with a count of 6 to snatch victory and go forward. That’s bowls !!

The Kingscliff/Pottsville final appeared to be shaping into one sided event as Munn and Co. were holding a fourteen shot lead after 12 ends. The Pottsville team settled, fought back gallantly, only conceding two shots to their opposition during the remainder of the game. However, Kingscliff held on well to claim victory with a minimal margin.

Charity events conducted by the bowlers throughout the Tweed Byron District most definitely are super fund raisers for many deserving organisations. Cabarita club recently raised $1450 in aid of the Wedgetail Pallative

Turbo blasts to a win!

ONE OF Kingscliff’s favourite sons, Dean Bevan, has crossed the border and will be surfing for Queensland in the Australian Surf Festival, whenever it may happen.

Bevan was on fire in the Over 40s Longboard Final, and was crowned the Queensland champion. Some radical moves saw him blitz the field – full rail cutbacks, and searing turns the trademark of the man nicknamed “Turbo”.

He was wrapped with his win and is really looking forward to represent Queensland at the Australian Titles, something that should assure him of a good ribbing from all his mates.

Bevan has been a surfer of note throughout his surfing career on shortboards and longboards, winning many events in both disciplines.

His older brother and former WCT surfer Shane Bevan, now lives on the Sunshine Coast as well, working as a

lifeguard at Maroochydore, and may have watched from the lifeguard tower, or so Dean joked about when I asked if Shane was here to watch.

Well done Turbo, you can win an Australian Title for Queensland, but it will really be for Kingscliff!

Corona stops the Corona Well the coronavirus pandemic has put a full stop to surfing events around the world. The Corona Pro was cancelled, and last Friday the WSL cancelled all events until March 30. Come Tuesday and it has gone the next level. The complete Australian leg has been cancelled, with the possibility of the event at G-Land being run at another venue maybe later in the year.

WSL’s CEO Erik Logan said to WSL fans and supporters: “We have every intention of commencing the 2020 Championship Tour season, and all our tours, as soon as possible. We are already hard at work doing scenario

planning for what a reimagined 2020 tour might look like.”

The current and quickly evolving changes to international travel are making it extremely challenging to determine an appropriate time to recommence and get surfers to and from event locations safely.

Surfing NSW has cancelled all events until further notice, and Tuesday Surfing Queensland has done the same thing, after wrapping up the 2020 Queensland Surfing Festival on Saturday, all events have been cancelled until further notice.

Your truly is now like many others, basically unemployed, but I am not alone with many other people in the surfing industry in the same boat.

Many events have been cancelled of all types of sports, and it looks like it will be a tough few months ahead for many of us. Well my theory is…… I’m going surfing.

Catch you in the waves.

IT WAS the final day of the Two Day LJ Hooker League on Saturday, March 14, with Cudgen and Pottsville making it through to the semi finals which may be cancelled due to the coronavirus.

Cudgen took out the Minor Premiership, despite rain washing their final day’s play and the game being declared a draw - so they hosted the semi-final.

Pottsville played Casino, who had declared at 9/199 at the end of 70 overs last week.

Pottsville skipper Jayden Hoare opened in good form with a half ton.

“We lost a couple of early wickets,” he said.

“We had a fair bit of rain and the wicket was hard to bat on.

“Adam Laycock and I put about a 90 run partnership on and we were definitely in the game. Then we both got out and then lost a couple more quick wickets and didn’t get enough middle order runs.

“Cudgen bowled well to their plans and were patient; they made us make mistakes.

“After losing that, we had to rely on other results to win.

“If Murwillumbah lost outright or Lennox had won outright we would have missed the semi finals so we scraped through.”

Hoare said it would be a tough semi-final against Cudgen if it goes ahead.

“They have been the best side for the last five or six years so there isn’t a lot of pressure on us,” he said.

“If we play the cricket we are capable of playing it will go a long way towards winning the game.

“We will be excited and up to the challenge and it will be a couple of big days of cricket.”

Ninth-placed Murwillumbah went into day two against fifth placed Marist Brothers Lismore looking good, thanks largely to Blake Neilsen who was going out swinging, taking 4/16.

Captain Sid Ewing said it was an incredible game from both sides with Marist Brothers needing an outright win to make it into the finals and continue their season and the way we kept fighting.

“Obviously a very low scoring game on a tough wicket,” Ewing said.

“Vinnie Quigley had an excellent outing; his fighting 34 in the first innings was crucial as it got us back in the game and his classy 72* not out in our 2nd innings gave us a platform to launch from.

“Lismore started day two at 5/35 but showed great skill, fight and determination to come away with a small first innings lead.

“The standout performer for the game was Blake Nielsen who came out to bowl in the first innings when we could have fallen apart and bowled beautifully to make Marist shake from the get go.

“He was on four wickets overnight and claimed his fifth wicket early on day two and then picked up where he left off in the second innings, taking a wicket in the first over and carried the momentum from there.

“He walked away with six wickets in that innings to bring his tally to 11 for the match including a clutch, last ball wicket to win us the game.”

Murwillumbah declared in the second innings at 5/148 while Marist Brothers only managed

54 runs in the chase, with Blake Neilsen taking 6/22.

“The game could not have been scripted better if we tried and was a fantastic way to finish a tough Panthers season,” he said.

“Full credit to Marist Brothers for playing a fantastic game in a great spirit and can’t wait to see them next year for the same fixture.

“I am incredibly proud to have played this year with the team we had.

“We really had a great bunch of blokes that have slowly developed the culture even if we struggled on the field.

“We didn’t have all the results go our way, but the ladder doesn’t reflect the fight, skill and spirit in Murwillumbah cricket.”

Coastal League

The final day of second grade saw all Tweed teams bow out of the comp, with third placed Tintenbar East Ballina getting the win over eighth placed Cudgen at Ballina.

Cudgen batted first but had trouble getting any decent tallies on the board apart from Sam Weir who top scored on 30, thanks to some brutal bowling from Tintenbar.

The Hornets were all out for 103 but they gave Tintenbar a run for their money in reply, keeping scores low with Noah Chapman taking 3/25, Cameron Dooley 2/24 and Sam Bowkett (1/10) and Hayden Wilson (1/6) also helping out.

Callum Pritchard was in fine form in the field, taking two catches and stumping another one, with Kyle Lohman making a couple of catches as well but it wasn’t quite enough with Tintenbar overtaking at 7/109.

Murwillumbah forfeited to Byron Bay and Terranora took on Lennox Head at Bilambil, winning

Lachlan Newman wins Qld Tri Series

By Jo Kennett TWEED VALLEY junior triathletes have come up trumps once again at the final round of the Qld Tri series in Raby Bay on Sunday, March 8.

Impressive final races from all team members saw the juniors achieve strong overall standings in the series, which spanned seven rounds racing from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast.

Nine-year-old Lachlan Newman won the series with a clean sweep of first place results.

Tweed Valley Triathletes coach Brendan Murray said Lachlan was “untouchable with most races winning by over 30 seconds through a ten minute swim, bike and run sprint”.

“Lachlan’s sister 12-year-old Lomani Newman finished third overall in the series,” he said.

“Lomani had a strong final race which moved her from 4th into the series podium.

“Fellow team mates 12-year-old Hamish Procter and 11-year-old Ethan Fitzsimmons took fourth and sixth in the series.

“14-year-old Jet Tunsted once again found the podium over the longer distance in the Enticer race.”

Murray said the team were planning on going to the Kingscliff Triathlon on Sunday which is marked as a state championship race in the Nissan State Series series, however that event has now been cancelled.

the toss and sending Lennox into bat.

Despite some good bowling from our boys with Ian Rowlings, Josh Kinneally and Corey Fisher getting two wickets each and Anthony Colivas one, Lennox declared at the end of the 40 at 7/216.

In reply Peter Hall top scored with 30, Corey Fisher 22, with the boys were all out for 91.

The Thirstiers played Pottsville at Rabjones Oval with Potty winning the toss and batting first.

Pottsville did a fantastic job, scoring 234 runs at the end of 39.3 overs, with no details available.

Michael Smith was the best of the Thirstier bowlers taking 4/36 while Doug Slockee took 2/11 which actually might be even better, while Jermaine Ithersway took 2/28.

In reply the Thirstiers put up some great partnerships with Andrew McKay caught on 77, Ayden Jones next best on 39, Ithersway 31, Dale Fielder not out on 30 and Dale Buckpitt 29.

That got the boys the win, declaring at 5/236.

So that’s it from the Tweed Coastal League teams for the year.

Stay safe and best wishes getting through the coming weeks which will be very hard on some but will soon enough blow over.

See you back next year.

Thirsty Thirds

In the third grade semi-finals the Cudgen Paper Wasps took on arch rivals Pottsville at Cudgen and the Cougars played Cabarita at Murwillumbah.

The Wasps won the toss and elected to bat, with opener Simon Peddle scoring 51 not out, and Josh King 46 not out with some good tallies all round before a tail end collapse.

The Wasps finished the 40 overs on 9/226.

Matt France was the pick of the Pelican bowlers, taking 3/32, with Dave Lamb taking 2/24.

In reply, Pottsville opened with a duck and then got two half tons (both Asitha Koralage and France retiring on 50).

Luke Pryke backed up with 26 and Adrian Simpkins with 24 but Potty ran out of balls and went down 6/190 at the end of the 40 overs.

Dave Patterson took 3/28, Dylan Brown 2/41 and Dean Foggot a wicket as well.

So, Pottsville is out after a great year; well done boys.

In the second semi-final Cabarita won the toss and sent in Murwillumbah to bat.

Caba started well with John Fallows taking down Blake Gilmore with only one run on the board, but then the Cougars settled in and put in some good performances, with Shane Kight scoring 31 (bowled by Batrim) McLean 43, Peter Weaver retiring on 52, Josh Mitchell retiring on 50, and Lucas Cramm not out on 34.

Lionel Ox Foster took a couple of catches but the Cougars were 7/258 at the end of the 40 and looking hard to beat.

Caba fell short on 185 runs (no batting breakdown available), with Luke Newman taking 2/22, Grant Bliss 3/52, and Michael Newell and Darren Clark taking one each as well.

Gilmore and Newell took two catches each, to see the Cougars move into the grand final against Cudgen next week scheduled for Les Cave Oval at 1pm (pending).

Well done to the Sharks on a great year. Stay safe, don’t kiss anyone, (even your teammates) and we will see you back next year.

Cudgen Headland SLSC - Keith Kennedy

THE AUSTRALIAN Surf Life Saving Championships that were to be held on the Gold Coast in late April have been cancelled due to the coronavirus.

The first Australian Championships were held in 1914. They were not held 1915-18 during WWI and 1941-45 during WWII. Justifying the decision, Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) President Graham Ford said: “The health and wellbeing of our members, volunteers, officials and staff are paramount and SLSA also recognises that an event the size of the Aussies has the potential to attract over 17,000 people to the event and we feel it is important that we play our part in reducing the spread of the virus out of respect for all Australians and the health care system”.

“In uncertain times we wanted to provide some clarity and certainty to our members who have been planning and preparing for this event,” Ford said.

The World Titles set down for Italy in September could now be in doubt.

The Kingscliff triathlon set down for this Sunday in which the club provides water safety has been cancelled. The Qld Surf titles have also been cancelled.

The Westpac Rescue and Sydney drone developers, the Little Ripper Group have partnered with SLSA to conduct trials using drones to drop dyes into the ocean to

identify rips and hazards. The technology was on some of the large drones but the ability to now have the dye-drop mechanism on a smaller drone could save lives.

In search and rescue situations, someone can be found quicker than normal as we can see where the currents are flowing. Trials are currently being held in a few states and should be finished about July.

As a result of the major carnival cancellations, the Branch Pool Rescue Titles will likely be brought forward to April and held at Ballina.

Anthea Warne who is now attending the University of NSW has had to find a new coach and fit training around her university schedule. At the National Canoe Sprint Championships last week, at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, she had her first season in the open category representing Qld. She teamed with Hannah Scott from Victoria in the K2 events. They were both in the Australian Junior Team at the World Bulgaria in 2018.

O T S DEMAND NO CUT H A B M U L L I W R MU D E L A T I P HOS PETITION TO PREVENT CUTS TO THE STAFFING LEVEL AT MURWILLUMBAH HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales.

The Petition of citizens of New South Wales, particularly residents of Murwillumbah and Tweed Valley in the Electorate of Lismore.

Brings to the attention of the House the proposal of the Northern NSW Local Health District to cut 3.08 fulltime equivalent nurses from the Murwillumbah District Hospital Emergency Department, despite the New South Wales Government’s promise to deliver more nurses and midwives.

The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly to bring these proposed cuts to the attention of the Government, ask them to have these proposed cuts stopped and for the NSW Government to honour its election promise.
