resilience within the organisation, the community and landscape,” the draft policy reads. Mayor Katie Milne spoke highly of the policy but wanted to see Council’s target to achieve zero emissions by 2030 mentioned earlier in the document. Mayor Milne also wanted to point out that the Tweed’s wildlife was already at the extent of their range and would suffer under climate change. “They are not going to be able to adapt to climate change, the climate changes, as they are at the extent of their range,” she said. “We have this internationally significant environment and we have a strong obligation to protect it.” Cr Ron Cooper spoke in response to Cr Polglase and said Council has to put out what it believes is the right policy that is in the public’s interest. “If the majority want to change it, then yes let’s go with Cr Polglase, but to put something else is to create a rift in the community,” Cr Cooper said. Cr Allsop said there’s always a need to do our best for the environment, but he worried when “we tie everything to climate change”. “Many of those bushfires were man lit. Pinning that to climate change is fear mongering at best,” he said Cr Allsop said he feared for future generations who are growing up under a cloud of anxiety from climate change. He also feared those younger generations are growing up with hatred toward older generations for imposing climate change on them. “There are views on either side of it, yes there’s a majority, but there’s always an opposition to that,” he said. “Until I have an absolute given that this is climate change, I’m hesitate in supporting something that I’m not wholeheartedly believing in.” Cr Allsop later told The Weekly he does not believe in human-induced climate change and he’s concerned a type of climate hysteria could grip the Tweed Shire. Cr Allsop said he did not oppose moves towards achieving a better balance with the environment.

“I think that’s a given in life, my fear is the hysteria of climate change believers and the almost obsessive approach they take on the views of others,” he said. “However, let’s say for example there is climate change and we do our best to meet the targets by 2030, we’re still heading towards a massive change as other developing countries produce the majority of the global pollution.” Cr Allsop pointed to Australia’s influence on “so called” climate change as being “miniscule”. “Australia creates about 1.3 per cent of global carbon pollution, which even if we addressed, we’re still just a drop in a massive ocean of pollution from other countries,” he said. The Weekly researched Cr Allsop’s claims and in a recent speech to the United Nations Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed “Australia is responsible for just 1.3 per cent of global emissions”. In relation to the claim that many of the recent devastating bushfires were intentionally lit, NSW Police said in a media statement they had taken legal action against more than 180 people for for bushfire-related offences since late last year. A total of 24 people have been charged over alleged deliberately-lit bushfires, 53 people have had legal actions for allegedly failing to comply with a total fire ban, and 47 people have had legal actions for allegedly discarding a lighted cigarette or match on land. “From a Tweed Shire Council perspective, which is what I’m focused on, we’re limited as a council with we can do,” Cr Allsop said. “Think about it, can Council prevent further climate change on the scale we’re talking about. “I do not think imposing a climate change policy is the best way forward for the Tweed Shire and I do believe it creates unnecessary concern amongst homeowners and businesses.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe climate change is creating unnecessary hysteria? Or should more be done to address climate change? The Weekly would love to hear your thoughts via email editor@theweekly.net.au

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors have clashed over the release of Council’s first Climate Change Policy with both Cr Pryce Allsop and Cr Warren Polglase voting against releasing the draft document. The two councillors were outnumbered and the nine-page document is now on public display following four votes to two, with Cr James Owen absent from the council’s first meeting for 2020 at the Murwillumbah Chambers on Thursday, February 6. Mayor Katie Milne, Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry and Cr Ron Cooper all spoke in defence of the document with Cr Cooper calling for the public to decide. Cr Reece Byrnes told The Weekly he was shocked by the scepticism from Cr Allsop and Cr Polglase on climate change after Cr Polglase stressed the need for “another side to the climate change debate” . “I think the science is in and the scepticism should over,” Cr Byrnes said. Specifically, Cr Polglase said he took issue with the report’s findings which highlighted hotter temperatures, more intense and prolonged heatwaves and increased bushfires for the Tweed. “I take issue with the Council staff member that made these claims… what knowledge within the council do we have that makes that point of view?” Cr Polglase asked. “You need to be able to substantiate these claims… as to how you came to that conclusion. “At this stage I will not be supporting this document…I do find it difficult with a document so one-sided.” Mayor Milne later pointed out the report was based on research by the State Government Office of Heritage and Environment, which studied the Tweed Shire under a climate change model and was not the conclusion of a Council staff member. Cr Cherry said there is not another side to the climate change debate. “I think pretty much everyone accepts we’re changing,” she said. Cr Cherry said it was now “inappropriate” to have the debate on whether climate change was real or not and said the document was not a final solution to addressing climate change but was an “important start”. The policy’s purpose is to acknowledge that “our global climate is changing, and that in the Tweed Shire the effects will impact Council operations, our community, the economy and our environment”. “This policy aims to communicate Council’s targets, objectives and priorities in addressing climate change, and establishes a framework to build

Murwillumbah a city?

Murwillumbah is to be declared a city. The smallest in Australia? The world? Our population about 12,000? Obviously some political and financial motivation. However, if we must become a city of course facilities at our hospital should actually increase. Or at least remain the same. Maureen Meijnen, Murwillumbah

City classification confusion

Many people, myself included, may be confused about the recent reclassification of Murwillumbah as a city. According to Wikipedia, to qualify as a city a town must have a population of between 25,000 or 150,000 or be a homogenous centre of importance as a focus of regional commercial, governmental or cultural activity beyond that which would normally be regarded as local, suburban, or subsidiary to another nearby centre. How does Murwillumbah satisfy this criteria? With only 9,245 residents at the 2016 census, it’s hardly a burgeoning metropolis. No peak hour traffic and most businesses are struggling to stay afloat. My fear is that by classifying Murwillumbah as a city it could then become a regional ‘smart city’ complete with 5G enabled driverless cars, ubiquitous, pervasive wifi, drones delivering your pizza and mail, surveillance so they know your every move and preferences, all the while professing to alleviate low or negative growth, but at the cost of human and environmental health. ‘Smart’ is in fact stupid. The acronym means ‘Secret Militarised A r m a m e n t s i n Re s i d e n t i a l Technology’ (S-M-A-R-T). Let that sink in. Bear in mind 5G has zero safety testing. This is being rolled out as an overt experiment on human beings – in other words we are guinea pigs. I just would like to know have the residents of Murwillumbah even been asked if they want to be a

smart city or even a city? I think most would say no. It would just be nice if we were consulted instead of being ramrodded. So much for living in a democracy. Menkit Prince, Uki

Upgrade M’bah hospital

Recently, Murwillumbah was declared a “city” and consequently doctors in training can’t attend there for rural placements. If that’s the case, our public voice and all the MPs that exist to serve them should inform the LHD that you can’t have it both ways. If Murwillumbah is a city like Sydney and Brisbane, the Murwillumbah hospital and its human resources should be upgraded, not stripped. But it’s about money, isn’t it. Obscene. Steve Pearce, Tweed

Will hospital be finished on time?

If you were hinging your hopes on the state election promise of the new Tweed Valley Hospital being completed by the end of 2022, think again. Since NSW Health submitted their EIS for Stage 2 (the actual construction) they’ve hit a pretty big road block. Both RMS and Planning NSW (the consent authority) have pointed out the many and large flaws in several aspects of the plan, but most notably the incredibly insufficient Traffic Management Plan. Planning have pointed out the lack of acceptable and accurate traffic movement modeling and more importantly, the fact that there is no plan and no money (from anyone, government nor private developers) for the widening of Tweed Coast Road – a major problem considering the efficacy of the site hinges on this. NSW Health were to submit a response to submissions by January 18 but have failed to do so as yet. NSW Planning advised me upon emailing, that NSW Health can in fact set their own new deadline for when they do so (extraordinary in itself considering the public are given a mere four weeks to respond to a document thousands of pages long) and that NSW Planning would pull them up if that new deadline went to a year. A year! That would really throw the 2022 timeframe out, given until this response is provided, Planning cannot even consider issuing an approval for construction. In the meantime machinery continues to shuffle red soil around on site as that’s all they’re allowed to do under Stage 1 consent. Just as the promise of free parking has

fallen, I suspect the 2022 completion promise will be next to go. Kristie Hedley, Kingscliff

Trains could be profitable

How does destroying a railway line somehow preserve it? Council have only been interested in tenders for a rail trail only. They obviously don’t seem to care about the astronomical benefits of having both rail and the trail together. It has been proven time and time again that rails with trails are the way to go – I’d even pump my bike tyres up and go for a ride if we had that. However, to lay down the trail in place of the tracks in the name of “preservation” is a narrow-minded fallacy. Our railway was once an extremely popular method of getting around until the introduction of the XPT trains 30 years ago, which only ran at night. The profit of the old services was double that of what it cost to run them. We can have that again, with the added benefit of a trail for visitors to ride and bask in the beauty of where we call home. Council now need to decide whether they have brains to realise this or not. Dyllon Foley, Tweed

Rail more efficient than roads

Around the world, railway lines are being rejuvenated and rebuilt; this is happening because rail is a more efficient means of moving goods than by road. It is thoughtless and short-sighted to tear up existing lines. Russell Wild, Murwillumbah

Train line decrepit

Various government studies and engineering reports since 2004 highlight the decrepit state of the infrastructure and the enormous cost to restore the track and associated infrastructure. The track, built at the turn of the century, that is 1900 not 2000, is not demographically appropriate today and was originally designed for freight. Thie 131-kilometre corridor will be lost if not utilised in some manner. The Booyong to Ballina spur, officially closed in 1953, has disappeared, resumed by farms. The proposed community pathway passes within a kilometre of at least 22 schools so students could safely ride to school and undertake associated bike and walking sports for health and fitness. Appropriate reconstruction of the bridges and pathway would allow emergency services , including fire trucks to access more of our region. B u s i n e s s s p i n o ff s fo r b i ke sales, repairs and hire plus tours, accommodation services and eateries would expand. Elsewhere, in Australia, New Zealand and the

rest of the world, has seen similar projects revitalise old farming and rural villages such as Stokers Siding, Mooball and Eltham. The condition of the track would need the lines lifted for replacing the ballast and all new sleepers, as well as all bridges rebuilt. Finally the legislation will ensure that if the government wants, in the future, to restore some form of transport, the corridor will revert to that purpose. Richard White, East Ballina

WiFi exposure

My first-born started school for the first time last week. It was exciting and a huge milestone, yet a bitter pill to swallow. As an educator myself, I have done my diligent research into safe learning environments and international standards. Through my own research, and the expert opinion of many others including doctors, nurses, lawyers, scientists, and fellow educators, I have come to learn that Australia does not adopt a precautionary approach to children’s long-term exposure to wireless technology. Did you know that our children are exposed to WiFi in state school classrooms constantly? The NSW Department of Education mandates individual schools to keep the WiFi on constantly; even though numerous parents in the Northern Rivers Region have requested WiFi to be turned off when not in use. In Israel school children are legally only allowed to be exposed to wireless radiation caused by WiFi in the classrooms for short periods of time. The age of your child in Israel determines the amount of radiation exposure they can be exposed to; each classroom has a kill switch for the WiFi. The younger a child the more ra d i at i o n t h e y ab s o r b. T h e Australian Bureau of Statistics states that the number one cancer killer in children is brain cancer and it’s also a top three cause of death in young children. Children absorb five times more radiation than an adult from wireless technology (mobile phones, iPads etc). I urge you all to do your own diligent research on what a world of complete connectivity will look like. 5G technology is proposed for the Tweed region now and is set to increase the radiation of our children even further. The very least we can do right now, is to create safer learning environments for our children and demand that safety proof is shared with the community before 5G rolls out in Tweed.

We should all carpool

Ross Purdon’s letter (TVW, Jan 30) mentioned something I’ve been thinking about – the number of vehicles on our road with one person aboard and lots of them old like me. I’d be happy to join a carpooling system, it just needs someone to get off their backside and organise it. I’d be happy to drive four of my neighbours to town for four hours or whatever but they’d better be there at departure time. Bill Buckley, Crystal Creek

Global warming insignificance

We k e e p h e a r i n g a b o u t unprecedented bushfires being a wake-up call for a culpable PM. Climate change has undoubtedly contributed, but let’s be realistic about global warming. Global emissions are increasing annually by one to two percent, by more than Australia’s declining percentage. While China and India ramp up thermal coal production, already nine times ours, we export only five percent of the world’s supply, responsible for less than two percent of global emissions. Australia’s total contribution to global warming is therefore insignificant. Pointing the finger at Scott Morrison is just scapegoating by political opportunists.

we evaluate the risks associated the implementation of any new technology. As with a lot of new technology there can be some fear of the new. For 5G that seems to be more than the usual fear associated with new technology. This appears to originate from anecdotal accounts of afflictions for which 4G, WiFi and now 5G are being blamed. However there is no scientific basis for this fear there are no scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals that show any real dangers from 5G or any of the other communications technologies that are in use or are planned to be implemented. It would seem that we are better off concentrating on the real and documented radiation issue that we face in this part of the world - that is over-exposure to solar radiation. Skin cancer is a known killer that is not taken seriously enough. Radiation from 5G cell towers has not been shown to cause harm and should not be seen as a problem. Peter Allen, Tweed

Appeal following hit and run By Jonathon Howard A LOCAL woman is recovering after a shocking hit and run on Cane Road, Tygalgah, on Monday, February 10. The female driver was returning home from a night shift travelling on Cane Road towards McCloys Road at around 9.15pm. The woman has approached the tight corner at Cane Road and McCloys Road and was about to make a right turn. But she was suddenly hit by another vehicle sending her car into a spin and destroying her car’s right side. The vehicle responsible for the collision then backed up and sped away from the accident, according to witnesses. The woman’s close friend and work colleague, Ang Reid, has since been assisting her friend and is appealing for public information.

“What we know so far is the vehicle that hit her was possibly a white dual cab ute that may have been towing a trailer and which we think may have had a bulbar,” she told The Weekly. “We had a witness in a nearby house confirm it was a white ute and we’re hoping someone can help track down the driver.” The woman’s vehicle was extensively damaged in the hit and run and she was left with whiplash.

“She’s recovering at the moment from some nasty whiplash,” Mrs Reid said. “We just need some help to track the other driver down.” Mrs Reid said police were called to the scene and took details of the accident. Anyone with information can report it to Tweed Police on: (07) 5506 9499 or Crime Stoppers on: 1800 333 000.

By Jo Kennett TWEED POLICE are calling on the public for help in their investigation into the death of a man who was hit by a semi-trailer on the M1 north of Pottsville on Monday, February 10. Chief Inspector Luke Arthurs said the accident happened at 7.08am around 1km north of the Cudgera Creek Rd on-ramp. “NSW Ambulance paramedics attended the scene but unfortunately they couldn’t do anything for the gentlemen,” Ch Insp Arthurs told The Weekly. “The truck driver was spoken to by police and taken to hospital for mandatory blood and urine testing.

“He provided his version for police and investigations are continuing.” Following further inquiries, detectives and officers from the Tweed/Byron Target Action Group attended a home on Kanes Road, Cudgera Creek, and spoke with a 38-year-old woman and 46-year-old man. The pair were arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. They were both charged with take/ detain person in company with intent to obtain advantage. They were refused bail to face Tweed Heads Local Court yesterday (Tuesday 11 February 2020), where they were refused bail again to face the same court on Monday 17 February 2020.

Police will allege the man and woman detained the 43-year-old and tied him to a chair at the property. As police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the man’s death, detectives are appealing for anyone who may have had recent contact with him to come forward. Police are encouraging anyone in the area at the time or anyone with dash cam footage to contact Tweed Police or Crime Stoppers.” Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Tweed Police on 07 55069499 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

THE LEGAL LIGHT! Domestic violence and AVO breaches rise If marriage revokes a will, what about divorce? It’s worth knowing that if you marry and don’t change your will after the wedding, then die soon afterwards, the will you had before the marriage may be revoked and you will be deemed to have died intestate. That means your estate will be revoked under conditions spelt out in Section 12 of the NSW Succession Act 2006, and that may not be how you wished your hard-earned fortune to be divided up. Joshua Crowther, accredited specialist in wills and estates at Stacks Law Firm, said it is wise to redraw your will once you have decided to get married. If the will is speciﬁcally written with the impending marriage in mind, it will not be revoked. “There may be totally new factors to consider once you are married, and not just regarding your spouse,” Mr Crowther said. “What about children from a previous marriage, or siblings you may have in your will that you no longer feel the need to support?” Intestacy rules in NSW usually mean the bulk of the estate goes to the spouse, but that can become complicated if there are children, especially children from a previous marriage. Section 13 of the Succession Act spells out what happens to a will after divorce. The law is written up as if the former spouse had died before the person who made the will. The Act also recognises a “domestic partnership” or de facto relationship, but the relationship either has to have lasted for two years, or resulted in the birth of a child. A divorce does revoke parts of the will, especially those assets the will directs to the former spouse and any appointment of them as an executor, trustee or guardian. “A questionable part of this process is the 12-month separation required before a family court will ﬁnalise your divorce. Separation has no impact on your will if you die during this period, so any assets you left to your separated spouse will still be distributed to them if you die during this period.

By Jo Kennett THE LATEST crime statistics from the bureau show rises in bail breaches, domestic violence assaults, Apprehended Violence Orders (AVO) breaches, and harassment and stalking offences. Domestic violence assaults jumped from 295 between April 2017- March 2018 to 344 in the period to March 2019. Intimidation, stalking and harassment offences were up 12.2 per cent, from 329 in the previous period to 369. There were also 57 sexual assaults recorded. The continuing spree of vehicle thefts showed up in the statistics, up from 150 to 179 in 2018-2019, with The Weekly reporting on numerous car thefts on the Tweed Coast, particularly from Casuarina and Kingscliff areas. The increase in goods being stolen from vehicles was also up, with 497 cases

recorded, up from 420 in the previous period and 368 in the 2016-2017 period. Tweed Police posted warnings with the threat of fines, on unlocked vehicles in public places along the Tweed Coast over summer in an attempt to bring the number of thefts from vehicles down. Breach of bail conditions offences jumped a whopping 59.9 per cent between April 2018 and March 2019 according to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, with 362 offences in that year compared to 227 the year before. Breaches of AVOs were also on the increase, up 19.3 per cent, with 223 offences over that year compared to 187 the year before and 170 in the year from 2016-2017. The ‘Other theft’ category, which includes stealing from boats, stealing from temporary accommodation,

business/commercial premises, and in public places was also on the increase, from 286 in the previous year to 340. ‘Other offences’, including trespassing, transport offences such as fare evasion, and liquor offences such as drinking in an alcohol-free zone, drinking by a minor and maritime offences were also on the rise, from 147 to 163 however there has been a 14 per cent drop over the five year period. There were two murders recorded as well as two armed robberies and two abductions. On a more positive note there was a big drop in cannabis charges, down from 443 in both the previous periods to 343 in 2018-2019. There was also a drop in offensive language charges, down from 46 in the previous period to 31.

Tikis appeal for information following break and enter By Jonathon Howard THE OWNER of Tikis Brunchery is hoping locals can help with information to find those responsible for smashing their way into the Top of Town eatery at around 3am on Saturday, February 8. Tikis owner Alison Smith told The Weekly a side window had been smashed to gain entry and the thieves went on a rampage throughout the restaurant. “It appears as though they were looking for cigarettes and alcohol,” she said. “Both things we don’t sell and they made such a mess. “Fortunately, no equipment was badly damaged and after a big clean-up effort we were open for business by Monday.”

The Tikis team said it was a kick in the guts to the small business. “It was a massive clean-up effort over the weekend for everyone,” she said. “We would appreciate anyone coming forward with information that can assist police in this.” Tikis is also stepping up security with new bars and further security measures at the premises. Ms Smith has reported the incident to Tweed Police who can be contact at Tweed Heads Police Station on (07) 5506 9499.

poor weather on Terranora Road. The Tumbulgum man was uninjured, and police carried out a roadside breath test which returned a high-range reading. “The male driver was arrested and transported to Tweed Heads Police Station

for the purposes of a breath analysis,” police said. “A breath analysis which has returned a reading of 0.270 grams (more than five times the legal limit) of alcohol in 210 litres of blood.” The man’s licence was immediately suspended. He is expected to appear before Tweed Heads Local Court on March 2.

Police are reminding people of the dangers of drinking and driving. “Substantial fines and disqualification periods exist for these offences and on the back of the tragic deaths of four children in Sydney last week, our message is, ‘If you plan to drink, don’t drive,” police said.

“If you separate and intend to divorce, it would be wise to update your will as soon as possible. “A property settlement during divorce doesn’t settle all ﬁnancial matters between you. The law in NSW, ACT and South Australia allows former spouses to go to court to seek part of the deceased’s estate, regardless of the terms of the will.

PTY LTD

“With this in mind, it would be wise to have a lawyer who specialises in wills and estates draw up your post-divorce or separation will, to make sure your assets go where you intend them to go.”

Smiley radars remind drivers of speed limits Council’s road safety team have trialled a portable radar on Casuarina Way that flashes a red sad face to speeding drivers and a green smiley face to drivers who are obeying the speed limit. Road Safety Officer Alana Brooks said most drivers wanted to do the right thing and the interactive signs gave drivers instant feedback and reminded them about the speed limit. At the two locations on Casuarina Way, Casuarina, speeds have dropped by an average of seven kilometres an hour. Before placement of the smiley face radar, a site north of Windsong Way recorded that 58 per cent of vehicles were travelling over the

50 kilometre an hour speed limit. When the sign was present, only seven per cent of drivers were doing the wrong thing. “The signs are a great community awareness tool, encouraging drivers to check their speed and acknowledging good driving behaviour,” Ms Brooks said. While Council has only one smiley face radar sign at this stage, funding applications have been lodged with the NSW Government for more. Locations for the signs will be prioritised based on known speeding problems, on-going community concern, a high number of vulnerable road users and/or a recorded crash history.

Help clean up the Tweed Water restrictions lifted Volunteer registrations for Clean Up Australia Day 2020 are open, with an appeal to Australians to step up on Sunday 1 March to reduce the amount of waste in the environment. Clean Up Australia Chairman Pip Kiernan said Australia creates 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. Only 12 per cent of this is recycled, with the rest ending up in our parks, roadsides, bush, waterways, oceans or in landfill as rubbish. Clean Up Australia Day is the nation’s largest community-based mobilisation event and last year more than 680,000 volunteers removed over 15,000 ute loads of rubbish from the 6901 registered locations across the country. Council is providing the collection of bagged waste and recycling to registered community groups and Council’s waste contractor Solo are providing skip bins for larger collection points. See the advert on the next page to find out how to get involved.

Water restrictions across the Tweed have been lifted following 200mm of rainfall in the catchment area in recent days. Clarrie Hall Dam is now at 100 per cent and there are significant river flows at Bray Park Weir. Residents and businesses can return to normal water usage but everyone is encouraged to continue any water saving habits for the long term. The dam level rose from 82.5 per cent on Wednesday 5 February to 100 per cent on Sunday. The rain has caused a number of maintenance and safety issues in our public parks and these take priority over turning back on beach showers and taps, so please be patient as we work through this. It may take up to two weeks. No further business restriction permits will be issued and any business with a Level 2 Restriction permit has now expired.

New social enterprise café in Tweed Heads set to open A new café is set to open in Tweed Heads this month that is good for people, good for the community and good for the planet too. Located in the newly-upgraded plaza precinct at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre, the Brett Street CAFE (Community Access For Everyone) is opening to the public on Monday 17 February. The café is a social enterprise initiative of Tweed Shire Council and will be a convenient and welcoming place to grab a coffee and healthy snack while knowing that the money you spend is doing good. Income from the café will support the delivery of Council’s Community Services programs such as MisterChef, which supports

older men who may need to learn to cook for themselves. Another program is Stand Together, which provides knowledge about reducing the risks of falls and how to prevent them. The café is the last piece of the $1.2 million Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre redevelopment, which is now complete. The project is jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and Tweed Shire Council. An official opening is planned for 6 March 2020. Visit www.brettstreetcafe.com.au for more information about the Brett Street CAFE.

Living and loving the Tweed

Ten things you should know before you go Less than five per cent of people have a plan for their end of life and 45 per cent of people die without a will. These are two of the 10 topics that will be covered in a three-hour workshop run by Compassionate Communities Northern NSW, in collaboration with the Groundswell Project, which is part of the Tweed Seniors Festival from 12 – 23 February. The workshop will encourage residents of the Tweed to start thinking about death and the benefits of early palliative care referral to assist in living longer and with a better quality of life, in partnership with Tweed Shire Council. Guest speaker and end of life consultant Mimi Zenzmaier from Sacred Earth Holistic Funerals will address do-it-yourself, at-home funerals as a way for families to say goodbye to a loved one within a home environment, as well as the value of having the dead in the presence of family members at the end of life. Cemeteries Business Manager Helen Carter said the Council initiative to partner with Compassionate Communities was part of an ongoing community discussion on ‘doing death well’ which began last year. Other topics to be covered in the three-hour workshop include expected deaths, the community preference for cremation and why health care professionals die differently from non-health care professionals. The workshop will be held at the Tweed Valley Cemetery at 813 – 873 Eviron Road, Eviron on Tuesday 18 February from 1pm to 4pm. Entry is by a gold coin donation, with afternoon tea and light refreshments provided. Bookings are essential and can be made by calling (02) 6670 2435 or emailing cemeteries@tweed.nsw.gov.au For more information visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/SeniorsFestival and www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/CemeteryServices

Increase in dog attacks Council’s rangers have experienced an alarming increase in the number of dog attacks reported over the summer months, with many of these being extremely serious. Complaints have also been received relating to dogs off leash, particularly on coastal areas such as beaches and creeks. Council’s Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said there were also complaints from dog owners who are using on leash areas to exercise their dogs but are concerned by the number of dog owners who do not restrain their dogs in public areas. “In January, rangers responded to approximately 22 dog attacks – compared to 7 in December – and 62 call outs for unleashed or roaming dogs compared to 33 in December,” Mr Connell said. “Given the scope of the rangers’ duties, this is a significant workload which could be reduced by owners understanding and adhering to the principles of responsible pet ownership.” Council rangers will continue to conduct increased patrols throughout the Tweed. Enforcement action will be taken where an offence has been detected. Any dog not secured by a lead in a public place attracts a $330 on-the-spot fine and a dog involved in an attack attracts a $1320 on-the-spot fine or the potential to be prosecuted in court. “Council is urging pet owners to comply with all laws relating to owning a dog by making sure adequate fencing is in place to prevent a dog from escaping a property, as well as ensuring that a dog is secured by a lead any time it is in a public place,” Mr Connell said.

Heart attack victim praises Murwillumbah Hospital staff By Jo Kennett A NUNDERI man is calling for state politicians to keep the Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency Department fully funded and staffed after a heart attack which could have easily killed him. Rob Learmonth said the diagnosis and emergency treatment he received at the hospital and then at John Flynn Private Hospital is the only thing that kept him alive. On Monday, December 27, Mr Learmonth had been working in the garden. “I try to avoid gardening if at all possible so my wife was quite shocked to see me out there, but I felt guilty because she had been asking me to empty the trailer for about three weeks,” Mr Learmonth said. “It was a very humid day as well. “I came in and I thought I had indigestion and my wife said to have a shower and relax and go and have a rest. “I went in and had a shower and came out and then I started sweating, my body was going into shock. “I didn’t know but the right side of my heart wasn’t getting any blood because it was blocked, which is interesting because I am largely a vegetarian. “My left arm started sort of throbbing as the circulation shut down to help my heart survive, the pain in my heart was increasing. “My wife said, that’s not good, let’s go to emergency at Murwillumbah and I said that was a good idea.

“Two weeks before that I was racing in a historic sports car event at Mt Panorama. “I felt ill in my last event. All my friend said, you look crook your face is so white. “I was so tired on that last day, I didn’t even take my last run I felt so stuffed.” Mr Learmouth said most the beds in the emergency ward were full. “The staff were brilliant, they ran a series of tests and prepped for an ambulance ride to John Flynn accompanied by a doctor,” he said. They were really fast and so brilliant. “I treated it as a joke until one of the nurses said to make sure I had family waiting when I got to John Flynn. “The doctor came with me so I knew it must have been serious.” Mr Learmonth said the ambulance staff “were brilliant” as well. “I’ve never been in an ambulance staff at full speed before,” he said. “The staff at John Flynn were brilliant too. “What were the odds that the number one heart specialist, Dr Ashok would be at the hospital? “They did an angiogram which showed the blockage. “I’d been to the doctors three days before and he said I was in good health, the ECG said there was nothing wrong, but he said I looked a bit tired.” Mr Learmouth had two stents put in his left coronary artery and spent three days in hospital. “My message is that without a fully equipped and well-staffed

Rob Learmonth (inset) says the Murwillumbah Hospital Emergency Department needs to be fully funded

Emergency Ward at Murwillumbah Hospital I would have suffered irreparable heart damage and in the future a very poor quality of life,” he said. “Limited emergency services means a drive from our home of 30 minutes to Tweed Hospital and further to John Flynn. “The community of Murwillumbah deserves better than seeing our hospital further downgraded. It provides an essential service even now on a very limited budget but it’s death by a thousand cuts.

“We have lost the maternity ward and the children’s ward is gone and you can’t get a lot of tests there. “Having a well-staffed emergency department close to us could save your life. “We are told for stroke and heart conditions your ongoing health or life is dependent on receiving medical assistance as soon as possible. “Time is crucial.” Mr Learmonth wanted to thank the staff at Murwillumbah Hospital. “They were absolutely brilliant,” he said.

“The Northern NSW Local Health District Board and the NSW Department of Health are making budget decisions for their own advancement and not the needs of the community and that needs to stop.” Last week the State Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin, vowed to fight any moves to reduce nursing hours at Murwillumbah District Hospital’s Emergency Department, saying local residents deserve a fully functioning ED.

Mr Jones said there are no plans and “have never been plans” to close Murwillumbah District Hospital (MDH). “We are enormously proud of the passionate, patient-centred care provided by staff at the hospital, which is second to none,” he said. “It is standard health practice, and indeed responsible practice, to review staffing allocations, to ensure workforce numbers align with patient demand. “This present review is focussing on Emergency Department staffing only. “It is disappointing that alarmist claims have been raised about the MDH Emergency Department. “We have commenced discussions with the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association, and meetings have been planned with the staff.” Mr Jones said with the new $534-million Tweed Valley Hospital becoming operational in 2023, “clinical services and staffing allocations across the whole Tweed Byron network will be looked at”. “This work is ongoing, in consultation with hospital management, unions and staff,” Mr Jones said.

By Jonathon Howard NORTHERN NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) Chief Executive Wayne Jones has slammed what he says are “alarmist claims” around rumoured cuts to the Murwillumbah District Hospital’s Emergency Department. Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin raised the concerns with The Weekly recently and said she had managed to confirm local rumours that the NNSWLHD was reviewing nursing hours allocated to the hospital’s ED. The MP said locals had contacted her with their concerns that these hours could be reallocated from Murwillumbah to either the Byron Central Hospital or The Tweed Hospital. “The number of hours I am consistently hearing is 17 hours,” she said. “People are genuinely worried that their hospital will be downgraded or even closed given that there is a new hospital being developed in the Tweed.”

Everything is Better with Solar

Solar is a universal way to reduce energy costs. These are the 3 ways we can make life better for you: 1. Solar Power for Everyone - Residential Grid Connect Solar. We enrich ourselves by generating our own power and pushing back against the Coal and Gas fired Network with clean solar power. If you want to help yourself and our native wildlife, there is no better investment than solar power on your home and more trees for koalas in your paddock. 2. Power Independence - Off Grid Solar. New homes, sheds and cabins are great places to make a stand for clean energy. Use no grid. Burn no coal. Generate all the power you need onsite and store it in batteries. Usually more affordable than connecting to poles and wires in the country and you are never exposed to runaway power prices again.

3. Make Solar Your Business - Commercial solar power. There are huge benefits for businesses that get solar power to reduce their network energy costs. 888 Solar Tek are the solar power investment experts, helping you tailor solar solutions that save more on energy for the least amount of investment.

Fears Cyclone Uesi could hit the Tweed

Affordable

By Jonathon Howard CATEGORY TWO cyclone, Uesi, is “unlikely” to make landfall on the Northern Rivers, according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), who have sought to ease concerns for a repeat of Cyclone Debbie which caused extensive flooding across the Tweed in April 2017. Tropical cyclone Uesi formed north west of New Zealand and east of Queensland over the Coral Sea and another cyclone is also likely to form north east of New Zealand and Fiji later this week. Cyclone Uesi was named by the Fiji Met Service on Monday, February 10, and is likely to bring heavy downpours across South East Queensland and Northern NSW. “It is expected to strengthen in the days ahead and may even reach category three,” BOM Meteorologist Peter Markworth told The Weekly.

DECLUTTERING SERVICES

“The cyclone is moving southwards near or directly over New Caledonia, which could bring damaging winds, flooding rains and dangerous seas. “At this stage (Monday, February 10) we are not expecting the cyclone to impact South East Queensland and Northern NSW.” Mr Markworth said there was no early indication that Uesi will track over land, but the situation could change. “The cyclone will generate large swells,” he said. One week from now the remnants of Uesi will likely drop away into the Southern Ocean between Tasmania and Fiordland, but there is a chance it could pull closer to NZ and bring heavy rain to the West Coast in a week from now. As the remnants of Uesi drift closer to NZ early next week, a much larger tropical cyclone will likely be to our north. As early as this Friday the next storm will be forming north to north east of FIJI.

Each block of Marine Parade will be fully closed to traffic and street parking during work hours, as the worksite travels south. Residents and holiday park visitors will be allowed access through the worksite to enter and exit driveways, but through-motorists and beachgoers will be directed to alternate routes via detours. Council said the work to stabilise Marine Parade involves milling off the old asphalt surface. “Soft spots in the road substructure will then be repaired by mixing cement into the

underlying gravel material and re-compacting the road base,” Council said. “A waterproofing seal is then applied to the exposed gravel surface and then the final asphalt seal. “Residents should expect mostly short delays to get in and out of driveways. “However, once the cement mix is added and watered in, they should expect long delays as the job cannot be shut down until compaction is complete. “The contractors will advise residents ahead of starting this task so they can get out beforehand if they need to. “The work is expected to take two weeks if it doesn’t rain. “Residents are advised that this work can be quite noisy.” An information flyer will be delivered to nearby residents this week.

Rain causes havoc on Tweed Coast By Jo Kennett SOME OF the highest rainfalls in years, from early Friday, February 7 to Sunday, February 9, have caused flooding and road closures along the Tweed Coast with more on the way. Some of the heaviest falls were in the Cabarita, Hastings Point and Pottsville areas, with one unit and at least one vehicle being damaged by floodwaters at Peninsula Street in Hastings Point. There was flooding in Tamarind Avenue, Cabarita, with locals constructing their own road closure barricade to stop people driving through flood waters ‘rubbernecking’ over the weekend and sending waves of water into houses. One Bogangar resident recorded 841mm from Monday, February 3, to Monday, February 10, with 429mm in 23 hours from Saturday to Sunday morning. BOM recorded 320mm in 18.8 hours from Saturday to early Sunday morning at Cudgera Creek, Pottsville. The Tweed Valley didn’t receive as much rain, with much of the runoff flowing into Clarrie Hall Dam, which kept river levels lower as king tides pushed up the Tweed River. However, those king tides have caused erosion, particularly along the northern end of Tweed Coast beaches. The flooding even made international news with CNN posting a screenshot of rainfall for the previous Cudgera Creek (320mm) and Tweed Heads (235mm) rainfall, taken on Saturday. Some residents in Sleepy Hollow Road were trapped for four days by a damaged and flooded causeway. On Monday, February 10, Jazz Lathouris told The Weekly that residents to the west of the causeway had been trapped since Saturday, February 8.

“We’re really hoping Council can get us out today,” Ms Lathouris said. “The tree was removed by the residents with tractors.” On Tuesday, February 11, the road was reopened. “The road needs a lot of repairs, but we are able to get out at the moment,” Ms Lathouris said. Council crews were planning on using an excavator to place gravel to restore the approaches to the causeway on Wednesday, February 12. “The area will be resealed in the near future and assessed for any further work which may be needed,” a Council spokesperson said. Andrew Webber owns a cattle property on Clothiers Creek Road beside the Pacific Motorway and said the water wasn’t draining away “because Cudgen Lake was jammed up with old car bodies and tea trees”. “We have tried to get it cleared,” Mr Webber said. “We would like to get it cleared so the water would drain away. “It used to drain away quickly but it has been getting worse for a long time.” One driver had tried to cross the road in a truck which had to be abandoned when it was washed off the road. Mr Webber said a car had knocked his fence down when the driver tried to cross the flooded road. “They managed to tow the car out,” Mr Webber said. “Plenty of people try to go through, all the weekend warriors want to try out their four-wheel drive. “You don’t want to see them get hurt, that’s the main thing and also wreck their cars and the fences. “We’ve had about 600mm in four or five days and it will be a month before all the water gets away.

“It will be a week or two to get off the road, but it might get low enough to cross before that. Mr Webber said the water was great for farmers. “It’s terrific for everyone, I would never whinge about the water,” he said. “Everyone out west has got it so it’s good for everyone.” Po l i c e h av e e x p r e s s e d t h e i r disappointment with several drivers risking their lives and the lives of others by attempting to cross flooded roads following a wet week across the Tweed Shire. Since the commencement of the rain event in the Tweed Byron Police District on Thursday 6th February, 2020 Police and SES personnel have responded to numerous calls to drivers being trapped in vehicles attempting to drive on flooded roads. Some of these incidents have occurred at Grays Lane, Tyagarah, where a 29-year-old woman from California drove into a flooded causeway and her vehicle left the roadway and ended up in the creek on the 07/02/20, Tweed Heads and Banora Point on the 08/02/20 and Wooyung Road, Wooyung where a 60-year-old man drove his Ford Territory against warnings and required rescuing on the 09/02/20. Police are reminding drivers never drive, ride or walk through floodwaters. “It’s too dangerous – and you never know how deep the floodwaters are, the condition of the road or how fast the water is flowing,” police said in a media statement. “Please keep clear of drains, creeks and causeways and if you are in a flood prone area avoid parking vehicles in low-lying areas.”

“The owners of the shop, people in the Sports Club, out in the street, what can we say when we have heard nothing,” Mr Connor told The Weekly. “Some have said it shows disrespect to the RSL for it to be still barricaded off; after receiving the approval to be erected; the council’s assistance in relocating the picnic table and the rubbish bins; the digging of the footings by a council contractor. “Not to mention the pomp and ceremony of the official dedication on Saturday, December 14, and the photographs published in the Tweed Valley Weekly.” Mr Connor said the Sub-Branch submitted a petition to Council two months ago which shows many residents are happy for the arch to be there. “The arch is there to acknowledge the hundred-year presence of the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch and its contribution to the community, that is all,” Mr Connor said. “The arch is a handsome addition to the history of the public reserve, just as the Great Burring is. The barricade certainly mars that. The arch is in full view in the centre of the village, looking like a building site. The community wants a resolution.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the arch should be reinstated as soon as possible? Send your thoughts and letter to editor@ theweekly.net.au

By Jonathon Howard MEMBERS OF the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch have raised concerns that The Centenary Arch at Masterson Park remains closed to the public with a safety fence around it despite the arch officially opening in mid-December, 2019. The Centenary Arch was erected to mark and celebrate 100 years of the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch. A special opening ceremony took place for the arch which The Weekly covered on Saturday, December 14. However, the arch has since remained closed by Tweed Shire Council pending approval for the arch to officially open. Tweed Shire Council’s Manager of Parks and Active Communities said the archway in Burringbar Memorial and Masterson Park is set to be “removed later this week to address safety concerns”. “And will be taken away to make minor amendments to the structure,” he said. “Council is working with the Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch and the Burringbar Community Association to reinstate the structure in the near future.” Burringbar RSL Sub-Branch President, Phil Connor, said the branch was now being bombarded with queries from the community about why there is still a “cage around the arch after so long”.

TWEED SHIRE residents impacted by recent bushfires at Terragon and Mt Nardi in late 2019 are now eligible to access government funding to aid their recovery. Disaster assistance is available to people who have been adversely affected or lost income as a direct result of the NSW bushfires. Those who live in the Tweed Shire and who were adversely affected by the bushfires may be eligible for the Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment. The Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payment is a one-off payment of $1,000 for eligible adults and $400 for eligible children who have been injured, or for people whose home has been significantly damaged or destroyed as a result of the bushfires. Children under the age of 16 may also be eligible for the Additional Payment for Children. This is a one-off payment of $400 per child. Minister for Natural Disaster and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the AGDRP would help to provide dignity for those who had suffered a catastrophic loss. “This is for people who have suffered serious damage to property, who’ve been seriously injured or who’ve lost a family member,” Minister Littleproud said. “The payments will help the people who’ve been worst hit cover their costs over the coming days. “It’s going to take time for life to return to normal and we’ll be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with these communities until they’re back on their feet. “We will make further assistance available to these communities if it is needed. “This support package is on top of the assistance being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements. “People should call the Department of Human Services to check their eligibility.” Claims will be open Friday 31 January 2020. For more information or to make a claim visit www.humanservices. gov.au/disaster or call 180 22 66.

By Jo Kennett TWEED TOP cop is set to take one giant leap to raise funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter on Friday, February 28 and is looking for community support. Superintendent Dave Roptell is one of eleven community leaders taking part in the Tweed Leaders Leap, abseiling down 10 stories from the top of Southern Cross University Gold Coast Campus. Supt Roptell has been in charge of the Tweed Byron District Command for just over a year and will be representing the NSW Police Force in the fundraising challenge. He told The Weekly he was looking forward to the challenge. “I’ve never done anything from a height so I’m untested,” Supt Roptell said. “Knowing that I am going to be fully harnessed and full safety measures will be in place helps to alleviate the fear. “I’ve never done abseiling or parachuting. “Taking on the Leaders Leap for the service is symbolic of the crew who regularly winch people to safety from the bush, ocean and hard to access locations. Supt Roptell said he was asked by prominent community members to take part in the exercise “I had no hesitation knowing what it was for, to undertake the challenge,” he said. “The Westpac Helicopter Rescue Service is such a fantastic cause, because it not only saves lives, it does it free of charge to the community which demonstrates to me how much goodwill that service provides. “Doing this for them is not only a pleasure but an honour.” The Leaders Leap is symbolic of the crew who regularly winch people to

Your Environmental Solutions

Environment Solutions Feature 19

Tips to aid our planet TWEED SHIRE residents are being encouraged to embrace their inner environmentalist and adopt the many ways they can reduce their impact on the planet including saving water and power. If we all use energy, transport and other goods and services more carefully, we can reduce harmful emissions into the air, land and water. Everyday choices have the power to make a difference and help protect our environment for a clean and sustainable future. What you can do: 1. Commute smart by walking or riding to work or the shops instead of driving. Vehicle emissions remain the most significant source of most common air pollutants. 2. Choose a fuel-efficient vehicle next time you are replacing your car. The Green Vehicle Guide provides ratings on the environmental performance of new vehicles sold in Australia. www. greenvehicleguide. gov.au

3. Save energy, by turning off the television and make sure you flick the light switch when you leave the room. Not only will you save money on your electricity bill, you will be reducing emissions from coal-fired electricity plants. 4. Buy energy efficient appliances. Check the energy rating label when buying new or secondhand electrical appliances. More stars mean less emissions. The Energy Rating website will help you select energy efficient appliances: www.energyrating.gov.au 5. Use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Phosporus in detergents increases nutrient loads in rivers and can cause excessive algal growth. Never pour chemicals or fertilisers down the drain as they get washed into stormwater drains and into rivers or the ocean. These are just a few small changes you can make to reduce your household’s impact on the environment.

Junior Landcare launch online centre JUNIOR LANDCARE has launched an online Learning Centre featuring activities developed by education professionals to help children to be aware, empowered and active in caring for their local environment. The online educational resources feature dynamic 30-minute learning activities for teachers and educators, parents and carers, youth groups and Landcare community groups. The activities focus on four key areas: food production, Indigenous perspectives, waste management and biodiversity. Each month, new activities will be added. They include easy-to-follow instructions, photos and videos and useful links and tips. A Learning Centre focus activity for February is What’s Happening in the Habitat and shows children how to identify animals in their habitats by exploring either their backyard, schoolyard or in local parks.

in Landcare activities from childhood to adulthood,” Dr Shane Norrish, CEO of Landcare Australia said. “A key part of this is creating engaging educational resources that schools, parents, students and youth groups across Australia can use. “This is what the Learning Centre provides. “We’d like to thank our partner Woolworths for their further support in enabling us to develop this important resource.” Woolworths Supermarkets Managing Director, Claire Peters, said that “building the next generation of environmental champions is something that we continue to be passionate about”. “Further to our Junior Landcare Grants program, Woolworths is proud to be able to support Landcare Australia to make it even easier for students to learn more about how they can help the environment via this online learning centre, which is full of wonderful activities and tips,” Ms Peters said. The Junior Landcare Learning Centre is located at https://juniorlandcare.org.au/ learningcentre/

By Jonathon Howard EARLY PLANS are underway to install a speed camera on Clothiers Creek Road with any revenue raised potentially going towards assisting in koala recovery. The plans, if approved, could be an Australian first with the State Government aiming to prevent further koala losses following the extensive 2019/20 bushfires. The Tweed Shire has recently become a stronghold for koalas with the devastating fires claiming more than half of the species and their habitats across the state. Team Koala President Jenny Hayes said Member for Tweed Geoff Provest was looking at whether the speed camera operation could be approved. “This model would be unique to the entire country and would put great support behind the recovery for koalas,” she said. Mrs Hayes said Tweed Coast koalas are “hanging on by a thread”, but she never thought the Tweed would become the species last remaining stronghold. “For years now people were coming up to me to our stalls saying: ‘we have plenty of koalas down south, so you don’t need to worry’,” she said. “The reality is that our koalas are now on the brink of extinction throughout Australia as they were not able to escape the fires. “We all need to take immediate action to do all we can for our koala crisis.” The Weekly approached Mr Provest for comment, but he was unable to respond prior to the print deadline. Meanwhile, Mrs Hayes stressed the need for motorists to slow down at key koala crossings

including around Pottsville, Cabarita and Clothiers Creek. “If they were lucky enough to survive the fires, they now have the added problem with nothing to eat and face a bleak future with no food and no home to go to. The situation is dire,” she said. Mrs Hayes’s comments followed a media release this week from Chair of the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Koala Populations and their Habitat, Greens MP Cate Faehrmann. Mrs Faehrmann said the government must protect koala habitat from logging, development and land clearing if koalas are going to be saved from extinction. “Koala populations in NSW were already in a desperate state before these fires, but now they are on the verge of extinction. Without major intervention the koala will almost certainly go extinct,” she said. “It’s fantastic that both the state and federal governments have said they will do whatever it takes to protect the koala after so many have been killed in these awful fires. Now they need to back up their words with urgent action.”

VITAL SIGNS Environmental Services, VS Enviro for short, has been providing environmental management services to government, civil infrastructure and residential development industries across NSW and Queensland since 2003. The Tweed Valley based company offers aquatic and terrestrial fauna management services which include preclearing fauna habitat assessments, fauna management plans (FMPs) and provision of terrestrial and aquatic fauna Spotter Catchers. “To those who are unfamiliar with the term Spotter Catcher it relates to a person who’s ultimate responsibility is to ensure where possible that ‘Protected Wildlife’ (which is all Australian native fauna!), are not injured, killed or unnecessarily impacted during habitat disturbance or removal of its habitat,” VS Enviro Director/Projects Manager, Stephen Rose said. “VS Enviro will make recommendations to all stakeholders based on the findings of the preclearing assessment to best protect the site’s fauna values.” Mr Rose said this could involve simply having a Spotter Catcher onsite to monitor clearing works and undertake the capture and safe relocation of any fauna disturbed during clearing. “Where species listed as threatened, vulnerable, colonial breeder’s or if the location of the identified fauna is difficult to access then more complex, fauna management measures may be required,” he said. “This may mean a specific Fauna Management Plan needs to be developed to meet regulatory and clearing permit requirements as well as set out procedures to

best ensure that the fauna species in question is not significantly impacted.” VS Enviro’s overall aim is to ensure its clients are aware of its responsibilities in respect to protection of Australian native fauna associated with its project site and that any compliance or regulatory requirements are achieved using Best Practice methodologies and procedures. “We achieve that by working collaboratively with our clients ensuring we have the same project aims and goals when considering our Australian native fauna,” Mr Rose said. “This year VS Enviro will be expanding our services further into environmental training and have developed a dedicated Spotter Catcher course which we will be delivering in a purpose-built facility set on our 105-acre property in the Tweed Shire. “This will be a wonderful new facility enabling us to provide professional handson environmental training for business, government, community and individuals and help raise awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation. The centre will be called “Coolamon Station”- look out for it – we will be opening later this year.” To find out more about Vital Signs Environmental Services call Steve on 0428 236 805.

TWEED SHIRE residents can now register their Clean Up Australia Day sites as the national day prepares to celebrates 30 years on Sunday, March 1. With the environment in desperate need of positive action now more than ever, Clean Up is calling on the Tweed Shire to step up and register their support of Clean Up Australia Day. “What started thirty years ago by my father has grown into a powerful grassroots movement and we’re excited to continue to inspire and empower individuals and communities to take positive steps that make a difference – not just on Clean Up Australia Day but all year round,” Clean Up Australia Chairman, Pip Kiernan, said. During this time, 17.7 million Australians have donated their time as part of Clean Up Australia Day activities. That equates to 35 million hours of volunteer time, removing more than 365,000 ute loads of rubbish from our environment.

“Australians can make a commitment and join their community on Sunday, March 1, by registering or signing up to a Clean Up group. Every volunteer counts, however, those unable to join a Clean Up this year can step up by donating to help us all year round,” Ms Kiernan said. “This year, we want Australians to step up and think about the positive changes they can make for the environment every day, whether that’s using reusable coffee cups, refusing excess packaging or learning more about recycling correctly – each small change will go towards environmental change.” Funds raised go towards vital educational resources and clean up materials provided free of charge to community, school and youth groups across the nation, throughout the year, educating the next generation on the importance of Clean Up. To register your Clean Up, sign up to a Clean Up or donate go to cleanup.org.au

Tweed remains in drought despite rain

Sweet Talk with Robert Hawken

Positive outlook for 2020 cane harvest

Tweed Shire farmers have welcomed significant rain but it's yet to break the drought

“It’s been a huge relief for many livestock producers who have been f e e d i n g o u t eve r y d ay a n d t h e psychological boost that this rain has provided is vitally important. It’s amazing what looking at green pastures can do for livestock and dairy farmers,” Mr Jackson said. “It is generally too late for summer crop prospects, but there may be some opportunities for late sorghum and maize forage crop plantings. “Grain growers will be keeping a close eye on soil moisture profiles for winter cereal crops, so any real income generation is still many months away.” Mr Jackson said it has come at a critical time for horticulture producers on the north coast who had depleted water storages, but again the money will not flow for up to two years for permanent plantings.

“The heavy rainfall on the coast is not good news for our oyster farmers, following the devastating bushfires. “Ash and sediment run-off will impact water quality, meaning oysters will not be able to be harvested.” Mr Jackson said while the rain has been widespread, members are reporting that it has been patchy, particularly in the Central West, and some farms have had no blessing at all. “So it’s a case of pure joy for some farmers, a welcome change in weather patterns for others and heartache for oyster farmers and those that missed out,” he said. YOUR THOUGHTS: Are you a local farmer that welcomed the February rain? The Weekly would like to hear your thoughts on farming in a drought. Please send your thoughts or letters to editor@ theweekly.net.au

AFTER THE driest start to summer on record, February rainfall has broken the drought on the NSW cane fields. This return to a more normal summer rainfall pattern is very welcome by the district's farming community. The young cane crops have responded well even though much of the cane land has been inundated. Hopefully, this minor flooding will be temporary and the cane will respond positively to improved weather with lots of hot sunny days left in summer. Some of the district’s soybean crops have not fared so well with some flooded fields lost. Soybeans are very susceptible to inundation and water logging. But other fields of soybean that were planted earlier, in less flood-prone land, are looking very good. Soybean prices this year are excellent. Condong Mill’s preliminary crop forecast for the 2020 season should exceed last year’s total of 520,000 tonnes. The crop has a lot of growing to do but a potential crop of 550,000 tonnes of cane seems realistic. This is good news, not only for farmers but for the economy of the whole district. Another positive is the world sugar price which has improved slightly in recent weeks. We hope this trend will be sustained, as the world sugar price directly influences returns to Australian sugar producers. The Australian sugar industry faces significant costs of production as we are competing with other major world producers of sugar, whose governments generously subsidise their local industries for political expediency. These subsidised sugar producers release large quantities of sugar onto the world market which then becomes over supplied and the world price is reduced. This makes things very difficult for producing countries like Australia and Brazil, who are not subsidised, to compete in the world sugar market. The world sugar market is definitely not a level playing field, so any small increase in returns to growers and millers will be welcome. Wishing all The Weekly readers a happy and prosperous 2020. Best wishes until next month, Rob Hawken.

By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Shire may have welcomed the return of significant rain, but the Tweed remains in drought according to the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ Combine Drought Indicator. Despite rainfalls of in excess of 400mm across parts of the Tweed Coast and almost 300mm recorded over the Clarrie Hall Dam, the Tweed remains in drought alongside almost 100 per cent of the state. The drought indicator, which last updated on February 9, uses a range of measurements to classify drought and defines the Tweed under the “drought” definition as being very dry, or agronomic production is tight low soil moisture or plant growth. “It is possible to be in drought when there has been some modest growth, or a few falls of rain,” the description of drought reads. There are however positive signs for the Tweed with the shire receiving almost the entire rainfall from 2019 during the February rainfall and more on the horizon. Tweed Shire farmers are also unlikely to reap the financial rewards of increased rainfall for many months, according to NSW Farmers, who said a late summergrowing window was rapidly closing. Farmers work in arguably the toughest economic climate in Australia and while rainfall has helped lift the spirits, NSW Farmers President James Jackson says the financial benefits will not flow for months. Mr Jackson said many farmers have dusted off their gumboots and that good rainfall in the north of the state has filled dams and boosted soil moisture levels.

Calls to reveal nuclear plans

New cat adoption centre By Jonathon Howard FRIENDS OF The Pound will launch their all new Just for Cats satellite adoption centre at Unit 1/ 29A Prospero Street, South Murwillumbah, on Friday, February 14, with the hope of reducing their cat numbers. The site already has 12 friendly felines eager to secure a forever home with a caring local or family. The opening of the Friends of the Pound Just for Cats will take place from 11am to 3pm on Valentine’s Day. “We would like people to come in and meet their furry Valentine,” Friends of the Pound President Sonia Trichter said. “There will be cat accessories and cat bedding at 30 per cent off, and Royal Canin dry food, OzPet Litter and tray systems at ridiculously low prices, all items will be available at these low prices for purchase on the opening day only.”

Mrs Trichter said the relocation of the Tweed Shire pound to a temporary location meant the need for more adoption sites was crucial. “Because there is no public access to the current temporary pound, there’s a need to create alternative adoption sites and the South Murwillumbah site is perfect,” she said. “We really need some locals to step in and adopt some of these lovely cats.” Mrs Trichter said Just for Cats has a range of friendly felines ready to be adopted. “We have plenty of options available including kittens, mature cats, young cats and all in a range of colours,” she said. For each cat adopted there will also be a free cat pack valued at $40. To find out more about Just for Cats or Friends of the Pound please phone: (07) 5524 8590 or mobile: 0439 766 243.

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 imposes a moratorium on nuclear power programs. The report recommends several steps required to partially lift the act so new nuclear development could be potentially considered. Mrs Elliot highlighted that during the past 50 years, there have been at least 95 proposals for nuclear power stations in Australia and 42 different sites identified as possible locations for waste dumps. “Our community on the North Coast has a major objection to nuclear energy and I stand with them in opposing any nuclear power plants in coastal communities like ours on the NSW North Coast,” she said. “It’s hard to fathom – but if Keith Pitt gets his way will there be a nuclear reactor or nuclear waste dump earmarked for the North Coast? “With so many Liberals and Nationals now advocating nuclear energy, locals deserve to know what the Government’s plans are. “I stand committed in my opposition to nuclear power and under my watch the North Coast will never become home to a nuclear power plant or waste dump.”

Friends of the Pound members are ready to open their new Just for Cats centre

By Jonathon Howard FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond Justine Elliot says she remains concerned with a renewed push to include nuclear power in Australia’s energy mix and she’s calling on the Prime Minister to “come clean on the government’s nuclear power plan”. Mrs Elliot fears the North Coast could be in the sights of the Morrison government to develop a nuclear power station or even a possible nuclear waste dump. Her concerns were recently compounded by the appointment of Nationals MP Keith Pitt as the new Minister for Resources and Water. “Mr Pitt MP is the government’s biggest advocate for nuclear power and a dedicated opponent to global action on climate change through the Paris Agreement,” Mrs Elliot said. Mrs Elliot said having appointed such a strong nuclear advocate to the resources portfolio in Mr Pitt, Prime Minister Morrison must now “come clean about his government’s nuclear power plan and let our region know whether the North Coast will be part of a nuclear future”. Federal Liberal Member for Higgins, Dr Kate Allen, recently wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald (Saturday, February 8) highlighting a recent report into nuclear technology in Australia. Dr Allen said that in December 2020, the House of Representatives environment and energy standing committee handed down its report following a six-month inquiry into nuclear technology. Dr Allen said the report found that Australia could have opportunities for research and development of safer and more effective nuclear power but was restricted by a moratorium.

Pocket Herbs partner with Currie Country Council’s new cafe

TWEED SHIRE Council is set launch a new cafe at Tweed Heads this month that will help disadvantaged people with training and employment. Located in the newly-upgraded plaza precinct at the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre, Brett Street CAFE which stands for Community Access For Everyone is opening to the public on Monday, February 17. The cafe is a Tweed Shire Council social enterprise initiative and will be a convenient and welcoming place to grab a coffee and healthy snack, while knowing that the money you spend is doing good in the following ways: • Good for People: Local disadvantaged people will be employed and trained. The location is convenient with healthy food on offer at a welcoming place to connect with others. • Good for the planet: Packaging, food waste, energy and water use will all be minimised in the cafe’s operations. • Good for community: The cafe will fund programs to help disadvantaged people in the Tweed thrive, as well as revitalising the public areas of the Tweed Heads Civic and Cultural Centre. Council’s Coordinator of Community Services Joanne Watters said the main purpose of the cafe was to help disadvantaged people in the Tweed to thrive. Income from the cafe will support the delivery of Council Community Services programs such as MisterChef, which supports older men who may need to learn to cook for themselves. Another program to benefit is Stand Together, which increases understanding of the risks of falls and how to prevent them.

A new partnership has formed between Currie Country and Pocket Herbs at Burringbar

“James and Ellen Currie had eight children who were all born ‘on country’, and their descendants still live here. We respectfully call these Elders the ‘Solum Eight’ and are thrilled to be able to grow Native Foods from the region unitising family knowledge and land lores.

“We are so excited to partner with Pocket Herbs.” Visits to Pocket Herbs are welcome, according to Mr Reynolds, who can be contacted by phoning first on: (02) 6677 1748.

By Jo Kennett BURRINGBAR BUSINESS Pocket Herbs has announced a special partnership with Currie Country to cultivate and grow native foods for market. The duo has teamed up to create a knowledge base in order to develop the ‘Native Foods with Currie Country’ range. Pocket Herbs owner Iain Reynolds said he was delighted to announce the partnership, which he said would go a long way in bringing new flavours to resident’s tables. “We are creating a knowledge base that will enhance the use of native foods and bring a new awareness, texture, and taste to tables,” he said. “Our Indigenous partner represents one of the largest Aboriginal traditional owners of the Tweed Region, accessing ancient knowledge that will inform, develop and assist mightily in growing the range.” Aboriginal nations have natural topographical boundaries throughout Australia. Currie Country is bounded by the Logan River (Qld) to the north, the Tweed River (NSW) in the south and west to the Albert River (Qld). These rivers flow north to south via the Rous River and define the cultural footprint ‘on country’. “Pocket Herbs sits within these waterways and so will draw upon this symbiotic relationship to the region to develop Native Foods with Currie Country – providing exciting and bold food concepts based on ancient knowledge and the cultural relationship to the environment and balance for our bodies,” Arabella Douglas, Currie Country’s representative said.

Approved and registered provider of meals for the NDIS Gourmet Meals is proud to announce that it is now an approved and registered provider of meals for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which has started rolling out in Brisbane and South East Queensland from 1st of July 2018. By this year, 2020, the NDIS will support around 460,000 disabled people with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life. Depending on eligibility, prepared and delivered meals can now be fully or partially funded by the NDIS for people with a disability, their family and their carers.

Meal Delivery Service with the NDIS Meal preparation and delivery is covered under Core Supports through the NDIS, as assistance with daily living. While this can vary with individual circumstances, generally, NDIS participants can choose to have meals prepared and delivered from a registered meal provider through the National Disability Agency. The Agency (or in some cases the participant’s Plan Manager) is invoiced for the cost of meal preparation and delivery, with the recipient only having to pay for the cost of the ingredients in the meals.

Healthy and Delicious Meals Gourmet Meals offer a wide selection of healthy, nutritious and delicious snap frozen meals that cater for different health and dietary concerns. With reduced fat, reduced salt, high fibre, high protein, dairy free and gluten free meal options available, we can accommodate NDIS recipients who suffer from any food allergies or intolerances. Pureed meals are now also available, however, for these, please call our office on 1300 112 112 for more information. All of our meals are portion controlled and prepared by internationally trained chefs, from the finest and freshest ingredients. There are also no added flavours, colours or preservatives in any of the meals we supply.

HEALTHY EATING MADE EASY

If you would like nutritious and delicious meals delivered to your doorstep by Gourmet Meals, just visit our website on www.gourmetmeals.com.au and then, contact the NDIS who may be able to assist you directly or put you in touch with your local area coordinator. The LAC represents the NDIA in your area and will work with you to develop an NDIS participant’s plan and ascertain your eligibility for delivered ready meals.

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

Allergies with Fay Gleeve It feels like home at St Joseph’s FAY GLEAVE has been teaching First Aid for 45 years and believes we should all know the basics of how to save a life. This week Fay talks about what you can do in the event of a mild, moderate and severe allergic (anaphylaxis) reaction. Causes of Allergies include food, plants and insects. People who suffer from allergies are very careful of what they eat and may have medication to help them if they are affected. Signs and Symptoms to look for: Allergic reaction, sneezing, swelling of lips, face and eyes, watery or itchy eyes, hives, welts or body redness and tingling mouth. What to do: 1. Reassure the patient and stay with them 2. Give medication if prescribed 3. If person has been stung by an insect, remove the sting and apply a cold pack, this will help with pain and stinging. 4. Continue to check breathing and pulse. 5. Stay with patient and monitor them making sure the condition doesn’t develop into Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis can come on quickly if the person is exposed to the allergen (such as food, insect sting, or medication) you need to act quickly, as an allergic reaction can be life threatening Signs and Symptoms: difficult/noisy breathing, wheeze or persistent cough, swelling /tightness in throat, difficulty talking and or/hoarse voice, loss of consciousness and or collapse, hives, welts and body redness, in a young child they may become pale and floppy, act Quickly Follow DRSABCD: If unconscious, administer an Epipen (adrenaline auto-injector) if available. Call triple zero (000) and state that the person is suffering an anaphylaxis episode.

Check for Medi alert. If the patient has had previous episodes, they should carry an Epipen or may wear a bracelet stating they suffer from anaphylaxis. If conscious and patient has their own Epipen it should be used immediately. You may have to assist the patient to use the injector if they request help. Patient should be lying flat. Make sure an ambulance has been called. How to give Epipen Check the expiry date. If it is out of date and no other Epipen is available still administer. It may not be as effective, but it may give some relief until an ambulance arrives. Pull, Place and Push for three seconds. Remember blue safety release to the sky, orange end to the thigh. Form a fist around the Epipen and pull off the blue safety release. Hold patients leg still and place orange end against patient’s outer mid-thigh (with or without clothing) making sure that there is nothing in the trousers pockets Push down hard until you hear the click and then hold in place for 3 seconds. Remove Epipen. If no improvement after five minutes you may have to administer another Epipen if available as there is only one dose of adrenaline in each auto-injector. Patient should not walk around. Stay with the patient until the ambulance arrives. Epipens come in two different colours - yellow for patients over five and green which is for patients under five years or less than 20kgs.

LINDY RIMMER knows the importance of putting the person at the centre of care. Lindy has recently commenced as Manager of the St Joseph’s care home and is focused on treating her residents as individuals to enhance their quality of life. Lindy is no stranger to the local Tweed community. She grew up in Round Mountain and lived all her life in the area. After starting work for Southern Cross Care in 2007, she has seen many changes to the aged care sector and better outcomes for those in her residential care home. “We like to support our residents in maintaining their independence as much as possible. This has a positive impact on the person being cared for, both in terms of their physical and mental wellbeing.” Lindy said. Chris Guinea is 72 and being cared for by Lindy’s staff. Chris was a local farm boy and arrived at St Joseph’s in a wheelchair a few years ago.

He was a gardening enthusiast, so the team allowed and encouraged him to help out in the garden whenever he wanted to. Lindy says Chris’s wellbeing (and the garden) have improved as a result. “Chris now tends to the garden in the rain, hail or shine, with our support of course. He’s out of his wheelchair and never misses the opportunity to flex his green thumb. He definitely has a gift for growing,” she said. Lindy says that no two people are the same, and that being flexible and supportive is important to ensure this type of care is provided. “It’s our philosophy at Southern Cross Care. The staff here are very committed, which makes my job easier,” she said. “My door is always open to residents and their families, so I get people popping in most days. It really does feel like a home away from home.” If you would like to visit St Joseph’s Residential Care home, you can call: (07) 5524 4519.

SET NO LIMITS Celebrating Seniors

Backflip on bus routes FEDERAL MEMBER for Richmond, Justine Elliot, has thanked Tweed Shire seniors who have fought hard to bring back their bus services on the crucial bus route along Banks Avenue and Keith Compton Drive at Tweed Heads. The return of the two routes follows an extensive public campaign with letters to the editor and stories covered in The Weekly and a petition launched to see the bus routes returned. The Weekly is also questioning NSW Transport as to whether other route services at Banora Point will also return. “This is a community victory and I’d like to thank our great local seniors who’ve fought hard to bring back their buses,” Mrs Elliot said. “Together we’ve forced Geoff Provest MP and the NSW Government to backflip on their shameful decision to close this bus service.” Mrs Elliot had written to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on behalf of the Tweed Heads community demanding that, as a matter of urgency, she immediately reinstates the bus routes along Banks Avenue and Keith Compton Drive for seniors. “I also called on the Premier to undertake a comprehensive review of all recent changes to bus services across our region,” Mrs Elliot said.

“I’ve been inundated with concerns from many residents about how the changes in bus services are impacting their lives. “Many of these locals are telling me that Geoff Provest refuses to meet with them over this issue.” Mrs Elliot said she had called on Mr Provest to “stop hiding and start doing his job”. “Meet with these residents who have been affected by his Government’s changes to the bus services and fix the problem,” she said. “Many of our local elderly residents, who have complex health and mobility issues, are now being forced to walk unacceptable distances to catch a bus. “The cancellation of these essential bus services has now put our seniors’ health and wellbeing at unacceptable risk.” Mrs Elliot said our seniors who built this nation have worked hard and paid their taxes. “These are the very people that deserve to be treated with respect and have access to the public services they need,” she said. The Weekly approached Member for Tweed Geoff Provest for comment, but he did not respond. A response from NSW Transport will be printed in the next edition.

Carers, take a break with McKenzie Aged Care IT’S TRUE when they say, to properly look after someone, you first have to take good care of yourself. Caring for a family member does have so many rewards. No one is denying that. But reports in recent years have also highlighted the challenges. Broken sleep, being housebound, things like lifting and even the repetition of doing the same thing every day can and will take its toll. Carers often suffer from fatigue, bad backs, anxiety and other chronic health conditions. This is why every carer should factor in respite as part of the regime. Whether it’s a week or two here, ten days there, or even a weekend every month, regular respite is essential and, at McKenzie Aged Care, we are here to help you with that. Up until recent times, most carers believed that no one else could do what they do, as well

as they do it. But family-owned McKenzie is becoming very popular for short term stays. Because people who use our respite know we will care for their loved ones as if they are our own. This of course means keeping to routines, everything from the time they like to have breakfast to making sure they take all their medications. It is about knowing what they like to do and letting them still enjoy these things. Our staff will be there to stop for a chat throughout their stay and ensure they’re comfortable and content. Everyone who comes to stay with us will even make friends and lots of them. So, respite is not just about care but companionship as well. Just speak to McKenzie Aged Care on 1300 899 222 about your respite needs. This way you can take that regular break, to well and truly relax, whenever you feel the need.

Warrina Walk businesses give to RFS BUSINESS OWNERS and operators at the Warrina Walk arcade on Main Street have kindly donated $1,000 to the Chillingham Rural Fire Service this week following a special raffle on December 23, 2019. Beverley’s On Main Street owner Melissa Bell, IGA Murwillumbah Manager Shane Catania and B-Spoilt Hair Studio owner Jane Rudman hosted the fundraiser to assist in supporting our hardworking local firefighters. The raffles were drawn late last year and included a beautiful fashion and accessories hamper, amazing hair care park and loaded food hamper.

“We felt a big need to get behind our hardworking local firefighters in any small way possible,” Mrs Bell said. Chillingham RFS Deputy Captain Josh Fogerty and Sarah Fogerty thanked the local businesses for their support. Mr Fogerty said the funds would go directly towards the Chillingham brigade. “We couldn’t do what we do without the community and having the community behind us,” he said. “We are planning on installing some new shelving for storage with the funds.” Got an event fundraiser or money to donate? Please tell The Weekly about it by emailing: editor@theweekly.net.au for more details.

Major boost to Meals on Wheels

By Jonathon Howard FIRST NATIONAL Murwillumbah has provided a significant boost to Meals on Wheels Murwillumbah this week in the form of much-needed funding. A cheque for $9,600 was presented to the Meals on Wheels team following six months of sales by the First National Murwillumbah. First National Murwillumbah Principals Sarah and Scott Reading said they select a different community charity every six month to donate the funds to. “We keep $200 from every property sale to give to a local charity,” Mr Reading said. “ We s e l e c t e d M e a l s o n W h e e l s Murwillumbah this time around as we know

this is a great community service that does not receive much government support.” Meals on Wheels Murwillumbah President Wayne Tagget heaped praise on the First National Murwillumbah team. “This is a fantastic donation to this vital community service,” he said. “I’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to the First National team.” Mr Tagget said the funds will go towards providing meals and the running of the community meals service. “We need around $20,000 every year,” he said. “And this donation goes a long way in supporting this vital service.” To find out more about Meals On Wheels Murwillumbah please phone: (02) 6672 8866.

While I write this column the Oscar winners have not yet been announced, so I don’t know how many Oscars 1917 will be awarded this year out of the ten nominations it has received. I am not normally a fan of war movies but this film is an amazing achievement both technically and in terms of narrative - a compelling drama about two kids having to face fear and horror disproportionate to their age, and filmed in a way that immerses the viewers in their plight.

Flutterbucks to host special fundraiser By Jonathon Howard FLUTTERBUCKS PIZZERIA at Tyalgum will host a special bushfire recovery fundraising event on Friday, February 21, in support of local firefighters and wildlife. Well-known local indie folk band The Heart Collectors are teaming up with Phil and Tilley and Luke Bennett for a full night of fundraising to support local firefighters and wildlife enduring and suffering this summer bushfire crisis over recent months.

“The devastation and heartbreak had been overwhelming as we watched the updates from NSW and Victoria,” The Heart Collectors told The Weekly. “We want to help in any way we can with 100 per cent of the band profits and fees donated, along with all Black Hops Beer sales, Tyalgum Firies Calendar sales, raffle tickets and more. The Heart Collectors member Mobius Barnaby said although many bushfires had now eased across the state, bbut there was still a need to assist in the recovery. “Obviously a lot of the bushfires are out now, but there is still a lot of

devastation and recovery needed as a result of the fires,” Mr Barnaby said. The musicians wish to encourage all residents to donate anything they can to the various fundraisers around Australia. “Every little bit helps,” they said. The event will start at 6pm until late and the door price if $20. Anyone that’s unable to make the fundraiser is encourage to visit: https:// theheartcollectors.com/firefundraiser/ to find out how you can support the cause. For further information or to book ahead please phone: (02) 6679 3221.

Mendes casts two up-and-coming actors in the protagonists’ roles because he didn’t want the audience to guess that they were going to survive the ordeal – which is normally what happens in the case of big stars in hero roles. And while we follow them during the course of a day walking through boobytrapped tunnels, bombed-out towns and abandoned farms while dodging sniper fire, witnessing aerial battles and sneaking across enemy lines, we are thrown into their minds by an incredible cinematographic feast. The camera stays with the two protagonists from the film’s first frame to its last, as if unfolding in one long take immersing us in a propulsive journey with them - a technique similar to the one used in the 2015 Oscar winner Birdman. Many of the scenes were captured in seven or eight minute takes and then spliced together to look as though they unfold in one shot. It was a very difficult film to produce but the effort has paid off: this is superb filmmaking, well deserving its 10 Oscar nominations..!

Three acts are set to rock Flutterbucks in Tyalgum for a special fundraiser next week

The plot is based in part on the stories told by filmmaker Sam Mendes’ paternal grandfather who was a messenger for the British on the Western Front in WWI. The script revolves around two young British soldiers tasked with the mission of delivering a message that will call off an attack doomed to fail soon after the German retreat in 1917; this message is especially important to one of the young soldiers as his brother is taking part in the impending attack.

By Jonathon Howard THE IMPERIAL Hotel in Murwillumbah will host a special fundraiser for suicide prevention on Sunday, February 16, from 12noon to 5pm. All funds raised will go towards the not-for-profit organisation LIVIN whose mission is to break the stigma around mental health through their “it ain’t weak to speak” campaign. Imperial Hotel event organiser Kian Watson said LIVIN have recently launched a LIVINwell program which is targeted at teenagers for early intervention and delivered at high schools around the country. “We want to support their cause as it is something that sits very closely in our hearts as suicide and mental health has personally directly affected us,” she said. Ms Watson said the Imperial Hotel has organised the event entertainment and fun for the whole family as well as plenty of opportunities to raise money and awareness. “There will be a jumping castle and face painting for the kids, lots of raffles that have been kindly donated by local businesses, Crabbes Creek wood fired pizzas, live

Titans boss to join Men of League luncheon By Graham Callaghan TITANS EXECUTIVE Chairman Dennis Watt and Football Manager Anthony Laffranchi will be special guests at the Tweed District Men of League Sportsmen’s Luncheon at Seagulls Club on Friday, February 21. Rugby league immortal Mal Meninga, the Titans culture manager, is a long-time supporter of the Men of League (MOL) and although he has commitments with the All Stars team, he is almost certain to be at the luncheon. This is the third consecutive year the MOL luncheon has been at Seagulls and top Titans executive officers have been present each year to honestly answer the sometimes curly questions. Laffranchi said there was a new attitude and atmosphere at the club under new coach Justin Holbrook and he felt players and supporters were set for a successful season. “Each year, about this time, we look forward to this luncheon and telling the

gathering about plans we have and the exciting new young payers in our ranks,” Laffranchi said. “Players and coaching staff coming to the luncheon will be announced next week but I can assure you that MC Neil Cadigan again will have some top interviews lined up with several exciting prospects,” he said. Tweed District MOL Secretary, Tom Cassin, said previous sportsmen’s luncheons at Seagulls had been a great success and early indications were that the 2020 function would be no different. “Comedian Ellen Briggs is certain to be a big hit at the luncheon with her popular hilarious entertainment to cater for our gathering,” Cassin said. Cost for the luncheon includes entertainment, a two-course meal and a three-hour drinks package is $100. Cassin added that nominations for the John Strong Community award were now being called and he asked for people and clubs between Tugun and Mullumbimby to enter their hard workers.

LIVIN’s goal is to deliver the LIVINWell mental health educational program to as many schools, sporting clubs, workplaces and communities as possible to help educate and break the stigma surrounding mental health. “The number of deaths by suicide in young Australians is the highest it has been in 10 years. Something needs to change,” LIVIN Organisation Fundraising and Events Coordinator Kelly Malloy said.

From war-torn Italy to the Tweed By Jo Kennett GABRIELE RICCIUTI has seen more in his life than most of us will ever see and his fascinating life story has been documented by his wife Bettina in a new book called Inside Love, The Book of Gabriele, which will be launched on Saturday, February 15 at Pioneer Country. The book has garnered rave reviews including from Marisa Parker, the awardwinning author of Goodbye to Italia. “An enthralling read. How amazing to see rural Italy through Gabriele’s eyes in the 1940s; and then, as an immigrant to Australia from 1952, up to the present day,” she said. “What a life that has been lived; compellingly retold by wife, Bettina.” His early life was fascinating, Gabriele’s wife and biographer Bettina told The Weekly. “Even his birth was momentous,” she said. “He had such a simple upbringing on a farm in Abruzzo. “They made everything including mattresses, clothes and furniture. “They had olives and they made cheese and bread and grew their own veggies.” That idyllic upbringing came to an abrupt end when Nazi German and allied troops poured into Italy. “He was 12 years old and his home was headquarters for the German officers, so he was very close to it all,” Bettina said.

Indigenous Charity Cup makes a splash

There’s something funny going on here

By Jo Kennett TORRENTIAL RAIN couldn’t dampen the spirits of Indigenous Charity Cup players and supporters who turned up in their hundreds to support the fundraising touch football competition at Les Burger Field at Cabarita on Saturday, February 8. Organiser Simon Tate said he couldn’t believe how many people turned up to play and watch. “I knew we were part of a great community, but I just didn’t know how great we were. The turnout was incredible,” he said. “The weather couldn’t have been worse, and everyone turned up with a can-do attitude and smiles all around.” Simon said one of the highlights was the longest dive to the try line. “It was over 10 metres, it was amazing; that was Daniel Rocket Ross,” he said. “Even in the middle of the most horrendous rain there was just jokes and laughter. “It was a spectacle like I’d never seen before. “There was one game that was like water polo. “If people weren’t up at the clubhouse watching they were in one of the tents.” The Torres Strait Island Flag team played the Dolphins in the final. “The Dolphins team had Daniel Evans, the artist that

created all the amazing shirts, but it was a 3-1 win to the Torres Strait Island Flag team,” Simon said. “They won the Charity Cup last year under the Tweed Turtles, but they adopt the name of the shirt for the Indigenous Charity Cup. “We’re not sure how much we raised just yet, but it will be somewhere around $50,000. “If we make $60,000, we will be really happy and that will be distributed amongst community members in need at our presentation night.” Simon said there will be an Indigenous Charity Cup video out soon on the Charity Cup website. “The men’s Justin Cullen Medal for sportsmanship skill and heart in the spirit of Justin Cullen who tragically passed away in the Maldives in 2015, went to Kingscliff’s Arlon Formosa who played in the Dolphins,’ he said. “The female winner was former Fiji Pacific Test representative Teaghan Hartigan.” Simon played in the Dolphins who won two years ago, in memory of his brother James Tate who passed away far too young in 2017. “He was a cruisey spirit and he would have been happy with any result,” he said. “A huge thanks to the Charity Cup Jimbalung (Bundjalung language word for family) and we cannot wait for next year.”

Featured Business

Arborcare is a local family business run by owner and arborist Clay and his wife Lou. We provide tree trimming, tree removal and arborist services to the Northern Rivers and Gold Coast areas. Clay has 10 years’ experience in the arboriculture industry and has worked across Qld, NSW and the Northern Territory. His passion for tree care is second to none and his goal is always the best health outcome for every tree. Our team also includes a fauna spotter who inspects every tree before work starts, and has the knowledge and skills to safely relocate any wildlife in the tree. At Arborcare, safety always comes first. We will never put ourselves, your property or wildlife at risk of harm. We have a full Safety Management System in place and do risk assessments before every job. We pride ourselves on always: • Showing up to quote when we say we will (we know how frustrating it is when this doesn’t happen!) • Taking the time to understand what results you want, then talking you through the needs of the tree so you understand your options. • Providing prompt, fair and honest quotes • Showing up for the job on time, every time • Completing the work as quoted, with no hidden surprises • Impeccable site clean-up – you won’t even know we have been there Call Arborcare on 0491 755 297 for a free quote and advice on the best management options for your trees.

New fitness equipment open to the public THE OFFICIAL launch of newly installed fitness equipment in Pottsville took place on Wednesday, February 12. Member for Tweed Geoff Provest officially opened the Phillip Street Reserve exercise equipment upgrade, which is part of a larger funding commitment to provide exercise equipment across the Shire. The exercise equipment is part of the NSW Government initiative to get more people active and outdoors. Outdoor fitness equipment has now been installed in Pottsville and Murwillumbah, and by April 2020 another three sites in Tweed Heads and Banora Point will have fitness equipment installed for the community’s enjoyment. The project - funded by the Department of Premier and Cabinet NSW - was a successful Stronger Country Communities Fund project (Round 2), receiving $332,000.

Up to 15 lucky residents are being invited to one of four come and try sessions to celebrate the launch. They will be supervised by a personal trainer on how to get the most out of exercising while using the equipment. The free training sessions are being run at the Phillip Street Reserve on Wednesday 12 and 19 of February from 9.30am to 10.30am; and on Saturday 15 and 22 of February from 8am to 9am. The sessions are provided in partnership with Council and the Northern NSW Local Health District. Northern NSW Local Health District Promotion Manager Jillian Adams said being outdoors and active was great for both physical and mental health. “We are delighted that Tweed Shire Council has installed the equipment for the enjoyment of all residents,” Ms Adams said. To book your spot in one of these free training sessions and to receive expert tuition from a personal trainer call (02) 6670 2530. THE 2020 Border Art Prize is now open for entries. The prize is a biennial exhibition which supports the endeavours of artists living and working in the region. The prize is also a chance for artists to exhibit their work at both Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre and Gallery DownTown in Murwillumbah CBD. Artists from Tweed, Ballina, Byron, Kyogle, Lismore and Gold Coast City council areas have until 5pm on Sunday, April 5, to get their entries in for this popular prize. The exhibition will run from Friday, May 8 to Sunday, July 5. The exhibition is open to all media and subject matter and attracts a wide variety of styles from both well-known and emerging artists. Gallery Director Susi Muddiman OAM says she expects another impressive turnout for the 2020 prize. “In 2018 we saw first-hand the benefits of extending the Border Art Prize into the M|Arts Precinct in Murwillumbah’s CBD, with more than 400 artworks displayed and significant numbers visiting both venues,” Ms Muddiman said.

Border Art Prize opens for entries “It’s a great opportunity to celebrate the diversity of practices in the region with entries including painting, photography, textiles, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics. Having two venues extends the reach and the Gallery’s ability to display more artworks.” The $3,000 first prize is funded by Tweed Shire Council, with the Friends of Tweed Regional Gallery Inc. funding the second prize of $1,500 and third prize of $500. Previous winners have included Trinity Leonard (2018), Robyn Sweaney (2016) and Lae Oldmeadow (2014). Prize Coordinator Meredith Cusack said she was hoping for an even greater response from artists in 2020. “This region is known for how much we value our artists. The prize is a major event in the arts calendar and it’s an important way to recognise the talent right across the region,” Ms Cusack said. Entries for the Border Art Prize close at 5pm, Sunday, April 5. Visit: https://artgallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ PrizesAndAwards for details of entry.

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.

I’m Free 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

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey KINGSCLIFF LADIES Open Fours Championship evolved into a close encounter between Maureen James (S), Maisie Lincoln, Liz Reeks, Sue Fowler and Sue Reid (S), Robyn Wickbold, Robyn Creedon and Jenny White. Reid and Co. opened the card and held a narrow lead until a count of four snatched by team James, followed by a single, levelled the score to 11-11 on 12 ends. Reid’s team squeezed to the front again but a concerted effort from team James resulted in the latter being 2 shots up after 20 ends. Last end, and at the changeover Reid ‘s team was holding 2 in the head. Reid’s last bowl wicked in to grab another

counter with James’ last bowl gifting the opposition another shot and bragging rights. A great game from both teams.

The use of a mechanical arm appears to be more prevalent in and around districts of late and it is interesting to note that our neighbouring Zone 14 conducts a Mechanical Arm Development Day once a month. These days have been, and are, well attended by both existing and new users and have proven to be successful due to the presence of well-equipped coaches and advisers, on hand, to assist all attendees on the correct use of this equipment. With both genders welcome, numbers attending have now made it possible to conduct inter district competitions every three months, making it a definite “win-win” situation for all involved. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Kingcliff rippers off to Boardriders Battle KINGSCLIFF BOARDRIDERS will be flying the flag for the Tweed Coast at the final of the Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle. Kingcliff have a great team, and will be looking to rattle the cages of the teams with a whole host of World Tour Surfers, particularly Avoca, who will have Ace Buchan, Matt Wilkinson, Wade Carmichael and Macy Callaghan. Kingcliff have the power of the department of youth, with Under 14 Australian Champion Dane Henry, Australian Junior Champion Micah Margison just for starters, and some real experience in their ranks with surfer and Supercoach Mitch James to lead the team. At this stage I do not have the final teams, but you can be guaranteed the Kingscliff crew with give it a red hot go, and any team that underestimates them will go down to the black and gold sundial of the Kingscliff Boardriders. The whole of the Tweed Coast wishes them luck, and I am sure they will do us proud.

Trials for Carona Open Announced The World Surf League’s 2020 Championship Tour season opener, The Corona Open Gold Coast, will offer more opportunity extra spots in the trials to be held the day before the main event. The Trials event will comprise of 16 spots for both men’s and women’s events, and for the first time in history, a minimum of 10 of these spots are being allocated to local surfers. Depending on WSL QS rankings in the lead up to the CT season, there is a possibility of both the men’s and women’s draws having up to 13 locals claiming spots. The trials will eventually gift one male and one female a spot in the Corona Open Gold Coast Championship Tour event. After a break-through season on the Qualifying Series in 2019, Burleigh Heads local Liam O’Brien was the highest Queenslander on the QS rankings to not qualify for the CT in 2020. The promising young natural footer is poised for a big season this year and couldn’t think of a better way to launch his campaign than by making his mark on the CT field.

“I surfed in the trials a few year’s ago but have a lot more experience and confidence in my ability now so I’m really excited for this opportunity,” O’Brien said. “It’s always good to take on an international contingent but it’s really special to see more local competitors in this draw than ever before. “There are so many incredible surfers that come out of this area so it’s great that they get the opportunity to represent Queensland in the trials and hopefully get a spot in the main event.” Also gaining spots in the event will be locals (A lot of Mitch’s) Mitch Crews, Mitch Parkinson, Mitch Duggan, plus Thomas Woods, 2 Snapper Rocks Surfriders, 1 Dbah Boardrider. In the Womens Trials, local ripper and Cabarita Boardrider Zahli Kelly will be joining Piper Harrison, Ellie Brooks, Dimity Stoyle, and more Snapper Rocks Wildcards. But with only one spot in the event up for grabs it will be a big mountain to climb just to get in the event. But once you get in, anything is possible! Catch You in the Waves!

Tweed cricketers in National Indigenous title win By Jo Kennett TWO TWEED cricket players were part of the winning NSW team at the National Indigenous Cricket Championships in Alice Springs recently and won a third consecutive title. Cudgen Hornets’ Pat Rosser played in the team while former state representative cricket player Anthony Kershler was assistant coach and a key part of the winning team’s strategising. “We’d won it two times in a row and this year made it three,” Rosser said.

Cudgen’s Anthony Kershler and Pat Rosser representing.

“I think the competition started about 2004 and we’ve had a fair bit of success. “I think we are now a couple of titles ahead of Qld. “That was always an incentive to one, defend our title and two, to win three consecutive titles.” The T20 format competition ran over eight days from Monday, January 27, to Monday, February 4. “We won our first four games which put us on top, so we were first in the preliminary rounds,” Rosser told The Weekly. “We got beaten in our final round game against Qld, but we still went right through to the final. “The wicket for the final was hard to play on because it was affected by rain, which was great for the country but not the cricket. “It was conducive to lots of spin and natural variations with bounce.” NSW bowled first in the final against Qld. “Our bowling performance was clinical,” Rosser said. “We bowled Qld out for 46 which put us in a commanding position to ice the game. “We got the runs; we were 0/22 off the first two overs which eliminated any chance of a Qld win and we got the runs four or five wickets down which was great.

Tweed hockey players off to national titles

By Jo Kennett FOUR TWEED hockey players have been selected to play in the Under 18s Qld team who will compete at the National Championships in April. The announcement of the teams came following a threeday trial held in Brisbane over the weekend of February 7-9. A total of 18 players were selected for each of the Under 18s Men’s and Women’s teams and eight shadows were selected from the original squads. Casuarina’s Jade Reid was chosen for the Under 18s women’s side. Jade’s sister Jesse played in the Brisbane Blaze team that won the inaugural Hockey One League last year and their mum is hockey Olympian Sharon Buchanan. Fiona Laybutt from Cabarita Beach and Jasmin Morrissey from Tweed Heads were selected in the Women’s Shadows. Bailey Charlesworth from Pottsville was chosen in the Under 18s Men’s Shadows side. The Queensland Under 18s teams now go on to prepare to compete at the Australian Men’s and Women’s Under 18s National Championships, which will be held from April 16 to April 24 in Launceston, Tasmania.

“Kersh is non-Indigenous; he was the assistant coach and he did a fantastic job around the technical and skill aspects of our bowling plans and our fielding and bowling strategies. “He knows his stuff inside out. “He played Sheffield Shield back in the day and is an exceptional cricketer in his own right.” Rosser said it was a massive achievement “given that eight players from the original 13 chosen withdrew due to injuries beforehand which gave eight other guys opportunities”. “It was really positive that we were able to select some younger players and they had the opportunity to be involved in a national carnival and contribute when they were needed.” he said. “We also do some community development activities, going out to remote communities and spending some time with the kids out there promoting healthy living and being active and playing sport. “We didn’t do that this year, but it is a real eye opener. “It’s such a different way of living in Central Australia but it’s pretty humbling to have them open up their community to us and to learn more about the rich aboriginal culture in Central Australia. “We also did a workshop around Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander culture and cultural identity, discussing the contemporary Indigenous experience which is a really nice thing to be able to share your personal perspective with other Indigenous cricketers from all over the country as well as with some of the Elders from Alice Springs, it’s a pretty special experience.” Rosser has been playing in the NICC for 16 years and said it has been “a genuine pathway for the best Indigenous cricketers to showcase their skills and to access opportunities at the elite level they

NO CLUB activities last weekend beach wise due to the weather and surf conditions. The beach was closed on Sunday with the high tide covering the beach, rough surf and dirty water from Cudgen Creek from the high rainfall on the coast. The Juniors had a post carnival dinner last Saturday night and Country Carnival Competitor Awards went to the following: Senior Girl – Isabella Tate Senior Boy – Max Estgate Junior Girl – Andie Prichard Junior Boy – Deacon Streeter This Sunday the Juniors will hold their postponed Club championships and the following weekend the Branch Junior-Senior Championships will be contested at Byron Bay. A farewell dinner was held at the Club last week for our 12 overseas guests brought to the Club for Life Saving experience and training by David Field. Membership of our Club continues to grow to over three thousand. A recent guest was T.V. Celebrity Maggie Beer of the “Cook and the Chef” programme, who gave a thumbs up to our caterers with the word ‘delicious’. This Saturday, Brunswick will host their Annual Masters Carnival which always attracts competitors from Qld. Clubs who make a weekend of it. The Club is looking forward to the Branch Titles at Byron Bay, as there has been limited competition in the Branch with the Titles abandoned the last two seasons due to surf conditions and no alternative venue suitable. Only Branch Carnivals held this season have been at Lennox Head on 20th October and Cudgen on 1st December. Looking back; Cudgen left Pt. Danger and affiliated with Far North Coast Branch in the 1963-64 season.

There were seven carnivals in the Branch that season and the Club won a total of 20 first and 30 minor placings in them. The Branch Titles were held at Yamba and the team won only two titles, they being the Beach Relay and the Chariot Race. That season was a memorable one for the Club, highlights being the opening of our new Clubhouse by the National President, Adrian Curlewis, the first Art Union being successful, the Club winning the Branch Patrol Efficiency competition, the prize being
