By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council is working to control the risk of mosquito-borne diseases after recent flooding and wants the public to help combat the invasion. Council has been conducting aerial spraying as part of its program to control the problem and says residents need to empty out anything around their homes capable of storing water that mosquitoes can breed in. Council’s Pest Management Supervisor Brian Falkner said the increase in mosquito numbers was a direct result of the recent rainfall and subsequent flooding. “There are large areas of stagnant water across the Tweed which is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes,” Mr Falkner said. “We have undertaken, and continue to carry out, mosquito larvae control works. “Larger areas are treated by aircraft and smaller areas through on-ground works.” Mr Falkner said only treatments which specifically target mosquito larvae are used. “Mosquitoes are also trapped on a weekly basis and sent away to be tested for serious mosquito-borne infections,” he said. “Due to the vast amount of rainfall and the extent of the flooded areas, there will be an increase in mosquito numbers over the coming weeks. “Residents can do their bit by removing all water-holding containers or rubbish in their yard and keeping house gutters clean and properly aligned.” Mr Falkner said heavy rains had have caused many temporary pools of water which provides great breeding habitats. “This is a concern, given the potential of serious mosquito-borne infections, as

well as the general nuisance factor from these biting insects,” he said. “As a matter of priority, Council has undertaken and will continue to carry out mosquito larvae control works in key breeding areas by air and through ground works. “Some mosquito species breed in waterfilled containers around your home, such as buckets, old tyres, poorly aligned roof gutters and pot plant holders. “It is very important that you don’t let your home be a haven for mosquitoes and their larvae.” What can residents do? • Keep your yard well-maintained, mow lawns regularly and limit areas of dense vegetation.

• Ensure you cover all windows, doors, chimneys, vents and other entrances with insect screens that are in good condition. • Clean up your yard and remove all water-holding containers or rubbish and keep house gutters clean and properly aligned. • Empty and refill pet water bowls weekly. • Ensure all openings to water tanks and septic tanks are screened securely. • Place sand or fine gravel in pot plant trays. • Empty ornamental ponds unless stocked with native fish species that will feed on larvae.

What’s that stink, ask Banora Point residents “The most likely cause is the saturated ground and the ponding of surface water in the low-lying areas. “A whole lot of organic material has washed into the canals and surface ponds with the heavy rains. “That material is now decomposing, and this process removes the oxygen from the water and gives off a very bad odour similar to sewage. “The hot days over the weekend would have increased the rate of decomposition as well as the smell.” Council’s environmental health unit has confirmed there is no risk to human health or the environment as a result of this natural phenomena. “It may take some time for the smell to dissipate,” a Council spokesperson said.

“Council can confirm there was an overflow from the holding lagoons at Banora Point Wastewater Treatment Plant into the nearby wetland last week during the heavy rain. “This overflow was largely stormwater combined with some wastewater. “The lagoon holdings are now being pumped back through the wastewater treatment plant to be retreated for release again. “Residents are reminded not to access the affected wetland area. “Ponding of floodwaters in low-lying areas has also led to a fish kill in Cudgera Creek.” Read more on page 6.

By Jo Kennett TWEED SHIRE Council has advised Banora Point residents that there is no need to be concerned about a sewagelike smell in the air. Council has sought to reassure residents that the stink is only decomposing organic matter and not sewage. “Residents of Banora Point are advised that the sewage-like smell in the area is not sewage but a natural smell occurring as a result of the sudden rise in the groundwater table following the extended dry period,” Council’s Senior Program Leader of Waterways Tom Alletson said in a Council media statement. “Council has investigated reports of the smell in low-lying areas of Banora Point and confirmed that it is not sewage.

Two sensible councillors

I’m relieved to read that there are two intelligent councillors who still believe debate is to be had on climate change. The ignorance in saying that “there’s not another side to the climate change debate” is unbelievable. The chief scientist still says that bushfires have nothing to do with climate change and it is well documented that if we became emission free, we would not change the temperature. When will the gullible accept that Australia is a country of droughts, bushfires and floods? There is a big debate to be had on how we deal with the management of our land and the science is definitely not settled. Judith Barnett, Murwillumbah

Game over on climate change debate

Cr Polglase is stressing the need for another side to the climate change debate. He won’t find one. It’s game over for the dinosaurs. A big majority of Australians now understand the emergency that is here now. It has taken fires and floods, but we won’t go back. A change of mind by many, yes, but they are just as welcome and critical to the struggle for survival as the already committed. Eddie Natt, Casuarina

Climate change is a hoax

I applaud Cr Polglase and Cr Allsop for their stance against what I and many others call the “climate change hoax”. Cr Byrnes claims all the “science is in”. I would love to know what science is in. It would appear that those who need more information about this “climate change” are really not allowed to talk if it is obvious that they do not agree with those who claim it is a fact. Why can we not have a sensible debate about this new religion?

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals In Victoria, The Country Fire Authority (CFA) also stated (on the same news bulletin) that the majority of fires there were not arson-related. “Most of the fires have been caused by lightning,” said Brett Mitchell, the CFA incident controller in Bairnsdale, in East Gippsland. “Our intelligence suggests there are no deliberate lightings that we are aware of”. Nola Firth, Murwillumbah

However, I agree with Cr Allsop, a free debate here in Tweed would do nothing more than divide the community. It may also surprise those who believe what Cr Cherry says “pretty much everyone accepts we are changing”. Well, Cr Cherry, I know so many people who do not agree with that statement. But they say nothing as they fear being shouted down. I believe you climate change believers may well be surprised as to how many of the people are remaining silent until the ballot box. I have lived in the Tweed for over 30 years. I live on the water’s edge. I have never seen a rise in the water or sea level, which apparently is taking place – according to the climate change army. We are drowning – according to these people. Oyster farmers have declared that in 40 years the tides have never changed. If they had, then they would have to pull up all their equipment. The climate change army declared (as per Mr Turnbull) that our recent fires and droughts were unprecedented. In other words, the worst ever. Perhaps these people need to look at true facts and figures and statistics. That certainly is not so. There have been many worse fires, droughts and floods in recent Australian history. This is so crazy. Australia is simply run by a few who are destroying our agriculture, our dairy, our manufacturing industries, our jobs and in fact destroying Australia. Yet the world sits back and takes all our coal, our resources to build dams and power stations. Do we hear anything from these climate change advocates in Australia about this: no. John Lee, Tweed Heads

Climate change hysteria

I am disturbed, not by ‘climate change’, but by the sight on ABC television of brainwashed school girls in tears as they fear an apocalyptic future. Perhaps, Australia’s climate is changing for the worse. But even a cursory review of climate events since the mid-nineteenth century shows that there have been bushfires as extensive and far more lethal than those of the current summer. Droughts and flooding rains are also not unusual. If the science espoused by the United Nations IPCC is correct (despite not one of their past models proving to be an accurate forecast) and anthropogenic carbon dioxide is causing dangerous climate change, sadly there is nothing that Australia can do to stop it. Whilst, for example, China’s annual increase of carbon dioxide emissions is greater than Australia’s total annual emissions. Australia’s Chief Government Scientist, who accepts the IPCC’s climate science, has stated repeatedly that if Australia cut its emissions (about 1.3 per cent of the global total) to zero overnight, it would have no measurable effect on Earth’s climate nor on Australia’s droughts, floods, bushfires, heatwaves or cyclones. In other words, there is absolutely no point in Australia committing economic suicide by adopting the recommendations of the extreme Greens who seem to have too much influence over some Tweed Shire Councillors. Rather, Australia should adopt a two-pronged approach to ‘climate change’. First, until there is an effective, properly monitored, worldwide response (which seems extremely unlikely) Australia should continue to guarantee baseload power by utilising fossil fuels (preferably oil) whilst, as a good world citizen, transitioning as quickly as possible to renewables. Second, Australia should act to mitigate the effects of climate change by, for example: constructing a national network of dams and pipelines to conserve and utilise Australia’s more than adequate

Our bushfires not due to arson

In the article ‘Councillors Clash Over Climate Policy” (TVW February 13), there was reference by Cr Allsop to arson as a significant cause of the fires. This is not the case. On an ABC news bulletin on January 18 that was investigating such claims, NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Inspector Ben Shepherd said: “I can confidently say the majority of the larger fires that we have been dealing with have been a result of fires coming out of remote areas as a result of dry lightning storms”. The Gospers Mountain “megablaze” and the Green Wattle Creek fire, which are both near Sydney, were both ignited by lightning. According to the same ABC news item the majority of suspected arson related only to small grass fires and rubbish bins set alight.

rainfall; managing the bush more effectively by the systematic reduction of flammable material; and by devoting more resources to our magnificent firefighters. Rita Worsell, Tweed Shire

We need to be realistic people

How blessed are we to live in the Tweed Shire. I love living here. Climate change? The climate is always changing. But human-induced climate change is a real and observable real-time change interaction. We have been blessed to live within a time frame where fossil fuels enabled us to live in a wonderful new world. I really understand our attachment to this amazing underpinning of our current quality of life. But as all things progress, we can now see that this advancement has now shown that its long term consequences do not keep pace with its gains, we now have to make new choices. Pollution is pollution, regardless of what it enhances, it will always eventually corrode and then dissolve. Let us not make this evolvement by condemning our first steps, but let us understand that we are all Earthlings, and our decision to put all first before our individual selves is what is now most important. I am so happy that the Tweed Shire Council can see that being self-responsible on a local level is so important if we are to unite and be the best that humanity can be living in harmony with our planet. Congratulations. Dave Burdon, Tweed Heads

Concerns for our regional hospital’s future

Now that a new hospital is being built at Kingscliff, will Murwillumbah Hospital be fated to close through a process of administrative attrition? First the operating theatre, then the surgical ward. Are the birthing suites being used efficiently? Chemotherapy and renal services also have to be cost-effective. If these were to go in the name of cost-cutting, only rehabilitation and an emergency department would remain. Sadly, the bean counters would probably see more value in the sale of prime real estate than in rump medical services in an empty building. Murwillumbah’s civic fathers twice opened the hospital (the Tweed Cottage Hospital in 1904 and its new modern premises as the Tweed District Hospital in 1939) with the hope that it would be a boon for the district: “This stone is laid in the hope that the Hospital

may ever be a blessing to the sick and suffering and ever receive the liberal support of the people of the Tweed District”. Surely the people of the Tweed District do not resile from this undertaking. No matter, because it is Sydney that holds the power to make the decisions that will hold sway. Māris Bruzgulis, Tweed Heads

Murwillumbah now a city

Aha – of course – Mur’bah being declared a city, that could explain a few things. I live 2.2 kilometres from this bustling metropolis and I’m lucky to have 4G WiFi - quite often it’s 3G. I know they want to upgrade to 5G, but if they can’t deliver reliable 4G? Of course, a burgeoning city would need an all-weather access road, (dare I say - highway?) to points east and west. As I sit writing I’m looking at Kyogle Road, as vehicles take to the one-lane flooded bitumen with smaller vehicles prudently turning around. A rail trail great for a city. But before it’s built, how about any sort of walking trail? Nope – barbed wire fences and cane fields. A walking trail next to the river would be a start. City status – wonder who thought that one up? Bill Collins, Murwillumbah

CCTV on roads could help

Last Friday afternoon I logged onto the MyRoads website, via the Tweed Shire Council site, to see whether Tweed Valley Way was still closed due to flooding. The latest information on closed roads had been updated at 1.45 pm on Thursday, the previous day. I rang Council to see if they had any same-day information and was told “as far as they knew” the road was still closed. As the body responsible for one of the most flood-prone shires in NSW, why doesn’t Council install CCTV cameras at all known flood danger spots on Council roads and download still shots to the Council website every hour during flood alert periods? Residents would then have up-todate information without having to rely on data more than 24 hours out of date.

Council to roll out new parking enforcement vehicle

Local News 5

Rebates Still Available!!

Family Owned & Operated

Your Trusted Local Solar Energy Specialist! Price Match Guarantee* www.hardysolar.com.au A mounted camera on Council’s new vehicle has a keen eye for illegal parking

in each shift, and growing demands by Council and the community to widen their car parking compliance services. “ T h e s e c o n c e r n s h ave d r ive n investigations into the current Automated Parking Compliance Vehicle and systems, to replace the current outdated manual system of officers walking the streets and marking tyres. Concerns were also raised around whether the new vehicle would result in job cuts at Council. Mr Connell said “no staff were displaced from existing positions”. “Council took the opportunity of rationalising two vacant former Parking Officer Roles, making one redundant and converting the other one to a Ranger role,” he said. “Council Rangers will now share the driving and parking monitoring responsibilities. “The loss of one position in the unit provides part funding for the new SenForce system. “The new system will only require one Council officer per patrol, as compared to the current need for two officers per patrol.” Council said the vehicle will make “significant improvements” to the way in

which they monitor parking throughout the Tweed Shire. “These improvements aim to ensure a consistent approach is taken to parking enforcement that meets the public’s expectations and maintains the safety of other road users and pedestrians as illegal parking can have numerous effects including: restricted visibility of other road users, traffic congestion, impede pedestrian access and availability of designated parking spaces,” Council said in a media statement. After a competitive tender process, Council entered into a formal agreement with Duncan Solutions Australia who are responsible for the supply, installation and ongoing support of the vehiclemounted mobile parking infringement system. The vehicle can also be configured to search for residential permits, previous warnings, vehicles of interest and even stolen vehicles, according to Duncan Solutions.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Council is set to roll out the shire’s first Parking Enforcement Vehicle in a bid to crackdown on illegal parking. The vehicle was spotted outside several local schools this week with Council yet to officially activate the system and motorists are being provided with a warning during the trial period. The system, known as SenForce, is mounted on the top of a Toyota Camry Hybrid and is expected to be officially launched in April 2020, but Council is scheduled to make an official announcement in March. Several residents told The Weekly they felt “worried” about the new technology as they drop off kids outside school zones. “I’m just concerned this is a revenue raising exercise,” one parent, who preferred not to be named, said. “I’m sure it’s just to crack down on the parking issues, but it would be interesting to know what revenue it produces after a month or two compared to the old system.” Tweed Shire Council’s Director of Planning and Regulation Vince Connell was quick to address concerns and said the council was in part implementing the system to manage “regular physical and verbal assaults”. “The new technology is not targeted as a “revenue raising exercise”, but rather a continuing commitment by Council to cover the full range of operational costs of its parking compliance programs with sufficient incomes from fines,” he said. “In recent years, this balancing of the budget has become increasingly difficult, given the need for Work Health and Safety reasons (to attempt to manage regular physical and verbal assaults on officers) for the two officers as a team

Community concerns follow Hastings Point fish kill

By Jo Kennett A MASS fish kill at Hastings Point has some residents concerned, but Tweed Shire Council says it’s a result of flooding and rotting vegetation in the system. Big mud crabs and masses of fish and prawns of all sizes lay either dead or gasping for breath beside Cudgera Creek when The Weekly visited on Monday, February 17. Council and the Department of Fisheries have been investigating and taking samples for lab testing after locals contacted them about the kill. Council released a statement saying, “A blackwater event has killed thousands of juvenile fish and prawns in the Cudgera Creek Estuary at Hastings Point”. “Council has confirmed that the cause of the fish kill is a total absence of dissolved oxygen within the waters of the creek. This is called a blackwater event,” Council’s Waterways Program Leader Tom Alletson said. “The floodplain of Cudgera Creek, like that of Cudgen (Kingscliff) and Mooball (Pottsville) creeks, has been inundated by stagnant floodwaters for more than a week. “Beneath this shallow water, thousands of tonnes of vegetation is decaying and consuming oxygen. “As the de-oxygenated water drains off the floodplain and into the creeks, it displaces all the good quality water and fish cannot breathe.” Council said the weekend’s hot weather had exacerbated the loss of oxygen.

“The fish kill in Cudgera Creek has been extensive, resulting in the loss of many thousands of fish of different species, in particular smaller animals,” a Council media release said. “It’s possible that larger fish have moved out of the creek into the ocean, but we have lost vast numbers of small prawns and the juvenile stages of many important species. It’s another big loss for our environment. “There are still large areas of the floodplain inundated, in the catchments of Cudgera, Mooball and Cudgen creeks. “While it is likely that we have seen the worst of it at Hastings Point, there is a significant risk that a similar event will play out at Kingscliff and Pottsville. “Council will work with NSW Department of Fisheries to investigate and document this event and its cause.” However, some local residents like Paul Young, who has lived in Hastings Point all his life, does not believe it is just rotting vegetation. “That’s more than the smell of rotting vegetation,” Mr Young said of a thick brown sludge on the edge of the creek that smelled like effluent. “There’s tonnes of rotting vegetation across the road but the water is clear and smells of rotting vegetation. “It’s full of life; there are little aquatic organisms swimming around. “This is different and stunk days before the fish died.”

Mr Young said he had seen “mudskippers, whiting, mullet, bream, blackfish, mudcrabs, soldier crabs, prawns – they are either dead or trying to get out of the water to breathe but stay in enough to live.” “It’s a disgrace, it happens all the time,” he said. “You can’t just let this happen every flood event. “They need to test the sludge on the beach not just the water and then if it is chemicals from land use or sewage, they can try to manage it.” Hastings Point has a Council wastewater treatment plant on Round Mountain Road as well as a small sewage pit between Creek Street and Christies Creek, which services Pottsville, Hastings Point and Bogangar. Cudgera Creek also drains through cane fields down into Pottsville and joins Christies Creek near the Hastings Point bridge but there were no dead fish evident in that system. “If there is sewage escaping into the creek, the engineers need to get in there and sort it out,” Mr Young said. “You’ve got to ask if it does overflow, where does it go?” Mr Young said that if there was anything toxic coming from farmland that was contributing to the fish kills, it needed to be managed. “If you’ve got a farm that’s polluting and killing fish something’s got to be done. Farming’s important but you can’t have that happening all the time,” he said. Mr Young’s wife Melissa said she had called Council regarding the sewerage pit behind Creek Street.

A fish kill at Hastings Point has resulted in deaths of many thousands of juvenile fish. Inset: dead fish in the brown sludge at Cudgera Creek.

“I was worried that sewerage was getting out because it was bubbling but Council sent out Matt and three guys to check and they said there was too much rain for it to drain away,” she said. “They were fantastic and said the pit was only 33 per cent full so here is definitely not the problem.” Another resident said the dam at the wastewater treatment plant was full during the rain event. “There is an old pipe there – whether that’s an overflow – but it runs straight into Christies Creek,” he said. “It stinks at Pottsville and Round Mountain but that’s rotting vegetation and earth.”

Peter Sloane has been running Caldera Kayak and Paddle Board Experience at Hastings Point for 15 years and said the problem was worse than usual. “It’s a problem that is really persistent and a lot of the trouble is one particular drain from a cane farm,’ Mr Sloane said. “I was told that was where 80 per cent of the acid water is coming in. “I was led to believe the Council could buy that land which would help the environment and the farmer. “Council needs to get down there and do some water testing. “Have they had an overflow of raw sewage or is it acid sulphate getting washed down?”

Local residents warm up for the free training session, after the opening of the exercise equipment at Phillip Street Reserve, Pottsville.

Rain clouds clear for park opening The opening of the recently upgraded Philip Street Reserve exercise equipment at Pottsville went ahead last week amid concerns that weather events affecting the region would cause the event to be cancelled. The installation of exercise equipment at Knox Park, Murwillumbah and Phillip Street Reserve, Pottsville has now been completed, with fitness equipment upgrades to be installed at the Banora Point Community Centre, and Arkinstall Park and Recreation Ground, Tweed Heads by April 2020 The opening was followed by a free ‘Come and try’ session, led by a fitness professional, who instructed community members on the correct use of the equipment. The four free exercise sessions held over a two week period at the park were provided by Council in partnership with Northern NSW Local Health District. Manager Parks and Active Communities Stewart Brawley said the design and placement of exercise equipment within established parks

was the result of community consultation undertaken by Council as part of the Open Space Strategy. “Residents identified shade, ease of access and footpaths as important design elements, all of which have been incorporated into the park upgrades,” Mr Brawley said. Northern NSW Local Health District Promotion Manager Jillian Adams said she was delighted that Council has installed the equipment for residents to enjoy as the equipment makes it easier for residents to exercise close to their homes. The total value of the various projects across the Shire is $332,000 and was a NSW Government initiative to get more people active and outdoors, funded by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet NSW, through the Stronger Country Communities Fund (Round 2). To book a spot in the last free training session on Saturday 22 February, 8 – 9am at Phillip Street Reserve Pottsville, call (02) 6670 2530 (business hours 8.30am to 4.30pm).

First test of 2017 flood repair works Last week’s minor flooding in the Tweed tested some major repairs undertaken on our roads and bridges network after the March 2017 major flood in the wake of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie. As designed, water ran over the new concrete two-lane bridge on Byrrill Creek Road (pictured right). The South Murwillumbah Flood levee repairs also worked well. The levee repair had just been completed and handed back to Council. “The flood levee repair was completed in the nick of time for South Murwillumbah and, particularly, the residents of River Street,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “Without doubt it has stopped the further undermining of the river bank in those locations and saved a lot of damage to both Council and private property.”

Council meetings online

Business Clean Up Day • Tuesday 25 February Schools and Youth Clean Up Day • Friday 28 February

The Planning Committee and Council meetings held on Thursday 6 February were webcast for the first time earlier this month and are available for viewing on Council’s website. To allow this to happen, a multiple camera and audio system was installed in both Council Chambers – along with screens, signage and lighting – to indicate to staff and to the public gallery when filming is in progress. The webcast will generally be released to the public on the day following the meeting which allows time for the minutes to be uploaded. Minutes are indexed to the webcast, so viewers can watch a specific part of proceedings that is of interest to them. For members of the public who have not attended a Planning Committee or Council meeting, this is a good opportunity to follow the Councillor’s decision making processes, to understand how Councillors request and receive advice from senior Council staff during meetings and to keep updated on voting outcomes. The next Council meeting to be webcast will be this Thursday, 20 February (available online on Friday 21 February). Visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/CouncilMeetings

Living and loving the Tweed

Tweed Shire Council is currently working on a concept design for a model affordable eco-housing project in the Wardrop Valley near Murwillumbah, as part of its commitment to plan for the future so the Tweed grows in an environmentally, socially and economically responsible way. The Wardrop Community Village project investigates the potential of developing a financially and environmentally sustainable community that provides low-rental housing for low income people in the Tweed. With a focus on supporting an inclusive community life for residents, it is envisaged that the village could accommodate a mix of affordable housing tenants (including those on social and affordable housing waitlists), down-sizers and people looking to live a more sustainable life. The proposed Council-owned site, which fronts Wardrop Valley Road, currently has no water, sewer systems or electricity connection and therefore provides an opportunity to explore the potential of a new, sustainable, ‘off the grid’ community. Information sessions Learn more about the progress of the project and how to express your interest in joining a Community Reference Group to help guide the project: Murwillumbah, 6 – 7.30pm, Monday 24 February Tweed Heads, 1.30 – 3pm, Tuesday 25 February For more information and to register to attend an information session visit www.yoursaytweed.com.au/WardropCommunityVillage

Senior support programs Council is running eight programs for over 65s and over 50s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from March to June 2020. The eight programs offer skills and connection, both face to face and online, to ensure independence and creative methods of supporting people to stay living in their own home safely and for longer. The programs include: Shop Don’t Drop, Stand Together, Mister Chef, Dementia Music Therapy, Art and Dementia Friends, Stretch Your Mind, Mature and Determined, and Cultural Connection. The programs are funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Health, Commonwealth Home Support Programme. All programs are either free or at a subsidised cost and include morning or afternoon tea. More information and details on how to register for each program are available on Council’s website at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/HomeSupportPrograms or, if you don’t have internet access, call (02) 6670 2400.

Recycled concrete promoting less to landfill Tweed Shire Council has successfully used recycled concrete as a base to support the building of aluminium grandstands at Piggabeen Football Ground. Council receives around 3500 tonnes of waste concrete at the Stotts Creek Resource Recovery Centre every year that is crushed into a reusable product for roads, drainage and bedding materials. Council’s Director of Sustainable Communities and Environment Tracey Stinson said this was another way Council was working hard to be more sustainable. “The reuse of materials such as waste concrete supports a more circular economy, where waste materials are reused rather than disposed as landfill,” Ms Stinson said. “This is a great example of Council working towards its zero waste targets and our commitment of less to landfill.” Find out more about recycling and reducing waste at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/RecyclingReducing

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Drivers ignoring flooding keep SES busy Rain records tumble By Jo Kennett EMERGENCY SERVICE workers were flat out during the recent floods, with local SES volunteers involved in multiple rescues, most as a result of people driving through flooded roads. SES Murwillumbah undertook 15 rescues since Thursday, February 6, according to Unit Commander Jack Frost. “We had one at Mooball, one at Chinderah, one at Cane Road and Tomewin Road going towards Dungay,” Commander Frost said. “ We w e r e p r e t t y l u c k y a t Murwillumbah. We didn’t get many jobs here, but Tweed Heads, Pottsville (Tweed Coast SES) and Kingy were getting hammered with jobs.” Mr Frost said while Murwillumbah missed the worst of the earlier coastal deluge, they had sent two teams over to help the Tweed Heads and Tweed Coast teams. “We had teams pre-positioned there to give coverage,” Mr Frost said. “Flood rescue teams with a boat and rescue raft and in-water flood rescue operators were ready to go. “We also sent a storm team to Tweed Heads to help out.” Mr Frost said Tweed Heads SES were called to more than 120 jobs. “They were mostly calls for sandbags and leaking roofs,” he said. “Tweed Heads got Cudgen RFS to help fill sandbags. “Murwillumbah missed most of that rain and then we got more involved when rain started falling in the upper catchment and river levels were at minor and moderate flood levels at Tumbulgum.

The SES were called to this incident on Tweed Valley Way

“I think that was Thursday (February 13) and Friday but I’m not sure because all the days have blended into one.” Mr Frost said they were very grateful for the support of SES Qld teams and Fire and Rescue NSW crews who helped out the Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Tweed Coast crews. “The rescues were just cars driving through flooded roads,” Mr Frost told The Weekly. “As soon as flood rescue calls come in the VRA and Police respond, it just comes up as life threatening. “When we were at the job at Tomewin Road and were sorting out these two disabled cars there was just a constant stream of cars driving through the same floodwaters and we were wondering how many others we were going to have to rescue. “We saw heaps of people driving around road closed signs. The ground is saturated, and we are getting landslides and trees falling down so especially at night in the rain people need to drive carefully.” Mr Frost said the biggest job was at a flooded house at Stokers Siding. “Her neighbour’s dam was overflowing and had found a path through her house and she had two to five centimetres of water running through it,” he said.

“We got the Murwillumbah RFS and Uki RFS to help fill sandbags; we had word they needed 100 and then we sent a crew out to see if we could even get out to the property. “They got out and the RFS Murwillumbah fire truck took the sandbags to the property and laid them out and diverted water away from the house. “While they were there, they got called to a flood rescue at Mooball. It was on Pottsville Road down near the bridge.” Mr Frost said the other message he wanted to get out “is for people to help themselves as much as they can”. “ We s e t u p s a n d b ag s i t e s at Murwillumbah, Tweed Heads and Tweed Coast and people come in and fill up themselves,” he said. “It’s a bit of a cardio workout but seriously it made our job so much easier with people filling their own bags and we could advise them how to lay them. “If people are physically unable to fill them themselves, they can call 132 500 and the call centre will take a job request.” Mr Frost said residents of the Tweed Shire needed to make sure they were flood ready. “There will be another flood, we live on a floodplain and it’s called a floodplain for a reason,” Mr Frost said.

RAIN RECORDS tumbled across the Tweed Shire following the big wet last week with the Tweed Coast receiving more rain in the first two months of 2020 than all of 2019. Kingscliff has already recorded its wettest February since records began in 1969 with a total of 776mm. The rainfall is well above Kingscliff’s average February rainfall of 192mm, and more than ten times last February’s total of 76.9mm. Kingscliff also had its wettest ever February day, recording 295mm on Sunday, February 9. The Tweed Heads Golf Club gauge received the most rainfall in the Tweed Shire with 844mm so far in February and 1,125mm for the year – more than last year’s total of 962mm. It has been the fourth wettest February at Tweed Heads since records began in 1886, with the highest rainfall recorded in 1956 (898mm). The Murwillumbah (Dungay) station recorded the third wettest February since 1951, with a total of 533mm so far while the wettest February was in 1956 where 1,095mm was recorded. The Murwillumbah and Uki stations have already recorded more rain than all of 2019 with Uki receiving 804mm, compared to 797mm in 2019, and Murwillumbah recording 875mm, compared to 797mm last year. Uki has recorded its second wettest February (554mm) with records only starting in 2001. The NSW Drought Map was also updated this week with Murwillumbah now listed as drought affected and Kynnumboon now listed as non drought, the rest of the Tweed Shire remains under drought

New boutique over-50s lifestyle resort to launch in Tweed Heads

Set in a premium position with direct waterway access, the resort will feature just under 100 homes and a modern waterfront country club with an extensive array of first-class fitness and leisure facilities, including an incredible roof-top swimming pool. GemLife Director & CEO Adrian Puljich said the gated lifestyle resort would take advantage of the natural features of its idyllic coastal location, offering luxurious lowmaintenance living and premium facilities that let buyers downsize their responsibilities and upsize their lifestyle. “GemLife Tweed Waters will deliver the best of over-50s living with cleverly designed, modern, open-plan homes together with fantastic recreational facilities,” he said. The architecture of the resort’s two-storey country club will feature a sleek, coastal look with references to southern Californian midcentury modernism, but with a Tweed twist. Incorporating a coastal material palette including stone and louvred feature walls and interesting use of timber, the club wraps around the water-front to maximise a north-east aspect. Facilities in and around the country club include an outdoor yoga studio, bar and cafe, gym studio, outdoor lounge areas, fire pits, barbecue facilities, cinema, a creative arts space and much more. “The resort’s fantastic location on the water ensures residents can also enjoy the activities the area is famous for such as fishing, boating and water sports,” said Mr Puljich. The country club’s interiors will create a luxury beach-resort

feel. Bright and breezy, the interior design will have a Palm Springs look with a fresh, coastal colour palette, heavily inspired by the Tweed’s renowned water and beaches. “GemLife Tweed Waters will offer over-50s with a terrific lifestyle in an in-demand area well-known for its relaxed lifestyle and mild, subtropical climate.” Homebuyers can choose between ten two or three-bedroom home designs, each with two facade options, and five colourscheme choices. The luxurious, spacious homes are open-plan with ultra-high ceilings, deluxe fittings and finishes, and top-of-the-range kitchen appliances. GemLife also offers an interior design service for buyers who want some expert guidance on customising the perfect look for their home. The secure, pet-friendly development will have a gated entry with number-plate recognition. Homes will be built using the latest technology to ensure superior environmental and thermal efficiency and will be six-star energy rated.

Council said the South Murwillumbah Flood levee repairs are “working well” and the levee repair was completed and handed back to Council last Friday -– prior to the heavier rainfall from Saturday. “The flood levee repair was completed in the nick of time for South Murwillumbah and, particularly, the residents of River Street,” Council’s Manager of Roads and Stormwater, Danny Rose, said. “Without doubt it has stopped the further undermining of the riverbank in those locations and saved a lot of damage to both Council and private property.” The Tweed River at Tumbulgum peaked at 2.3 metres in the early hours of Friday, February 14, just 0.2 metres off the major flood level of 2.5 metres, while the Tweed River at Murwillumbah reached the minor flood level at 3.8 metres, and below the moderate flood level of 4 metres. Council described last week’s flood as bringing many different impacts to Tweed residents. In Tumbulgum, Council said there were isolated failures of the vacuum sewerage system and “crews will

work through these issues as they continue to arise”. Several Tumbulgum residents reported water coming close to their properties near Tweed Valley Way, but the businesses were spared on the river front as the water only reached the inland gutter, according to business owners. The impact was also evident in the federal government’s move to declare the Tweed a natural disaster area and therefore unlock vital funds for the recovery. The Weekly received several emails, visitors and calls regarding a range of matters from potholes both new and old, to road access as well as garden maintenance and tree removal. Council’s Deputy Mayor Chris Cherry said having such a deluge after a three-year drought has meant there was a lot of sediment and leaf matter that quickly washed into the drainage system. “This blocked normal stormwater pathways, meaning some people who have never been impacted by flooding were inundated this time,” she said. “The incredibly heavy nature of the rain meant farmers lost topsoil out to sea and localised flooding in towns was high impact. “The almost immediate declaration of a natural disaster by the federal government means Council can access funds quickly to try to repair community infrastructure which I commend the staff for putting into action so quickly.” Cr Cherry said there are several roads with large pothole and debris, and the repairs and checks on the

A before (inset) and after image of Byrill Creek Bridge. Tumbulgum (top right) was quick to recover following the rain.

integrity of bridges will take a while “so I ask people to be patient”. “We had only just completed all of the Cyclone Debbie repairs finally six months ago,” she said. “Thinking to the future, scientists are telling us that we can expect this type of weather pattern a lot more, with long droughts followed by flooding deluges. “We may need to change some of our stormwater infrastructure over to be similar to that used in the tropics to cope with these high intensity events.” Cr Cherry said she has every confidence in Council staff who are looking at the impacts and changes we can make to help our community become more resilient to flooding.

“Crews are on site at the worst of these on private property off Environmental Drive at Pottsville. “Others are on private property at Poplar and Poinciana avenues, Bogangar and Kingscliff Street, Kingscliff.” Motorists are advised to slow down and expect water, potholes, debris and other hazards on the roads – on all and any road. For the latest information on road closures and hazards visit the Tweed Emergency Dashboard: https:// emergency.tweed.nsw.gov.au (which links through to MyRoadInfo as well as a range of other useful information and links such as weather warnings, river heights and rainfall).

Meanwhile, Council crews have been busy this week following up on damage inspections on roads and bridges. “Water ran over the new concrete two-lane bridge on Byrrill Creek Road as designed,” Council said in a media statement. “There have been no major landslips but a lot of smaller ones.” Council have one lane closed at the intersection of Leisure and Darlington drives, Banora Point, where a large sinkhole opened around a sewer manhole. “There have been four other sewer collapses across the shire,” Council said.

Tweed parking pains on the rise

By Jonathon Howard TRAFFIC AND parking throughout some of the Tweed’s residential suburbs is driving some residents bonkers with a petition from Fingal Head residents calling on Tweed Shire Council to install locals only parking. Councillors will receive the petition at their Thursday, February 20, meeting which also includes a separate motion to address parking concerns at Ballymore Court, Banora Point. Firstly, to Fingal – at Lagoon Road and Dune Street – where residents expressed concern for both the increasing congestion and environmental impacts. The petition, signed by 34 residents, states it is common to have “50 to 70 vehicles parked for up to four hours, each having two to three adults” on the two roads “visiting an area without toilets and in many cases using our environment in a most inappropriate manner including the Lagoon in front of our properties”. The petition also raised concerns for access of emergency services and challenges to Council services – especially on Fridays to Sundays. “It has also become common for residents to be unable to exit their properties without assistance to avoid damaging parked vehicles. Parking issues… have now become acute,” the petition reads. The Fingal Head residents are now calling on Council to implement resident only parking on Lagoon Road and Dune Street. “With a south beach parking sign be erected on FingaI Road to compensate the surfers and beach goers before they enter Lagoon Road,” the petition reads.

Fingal Head parking issues are driving locals around the bend. Inset is Banora Point.

But that’s not the only road with parking concerns in the Tweed, with Banora Point residents concerned about Ballymore Court parking. Councillors will vote on whether to increase inspections of the road after residents raised several concerns. However, Council’s report highlighted that the majority of vehicles in the photos provided appear to be parked legally, and there is enough space for trucks to navigate the road. “It is noted that the eastern carriageway of Ballymore Court is narrower than the western end accessing the Bupa Aged Care facility, and this has been the source of complaints in the past,” council’s report reads. “In 2015, Council Officers inspected Ballymore Court on more than six occasions and although the street was congested, vehicles were parked legally and there was sufficient width for a garbage truck or ambulance to navigate the lane. “The observations confirmed that the street was used by Bupa Aged Care staff

and visitors. Bupa Aged Care regularly have ambulances attending their facility and it is also very important for them that the street is unobstructed.” Council’s report went on to note that “removing or restricting parking may not be supported by all residents and may move the problem to nearby streets”. The motion was raised by Councillor Reece Byrnes who put forward three recommendations including directing Council staff to conduct site inspections of parking demand and capacity and attempt to observe any illegal parking. The motion also calls for Council staff to facilitate a consultation session between Bupa Aged Care management and concerned residents to discuss possible solutions to any parking issues identified in Ballymore Court. YOUR THOUGHTS: Does your street have a parking problem? Or maybe you need the parking for work or visiting family? We would love to hear your thoughts by email to editor@theweekly. net.au

Parking dispute turns nasty By Jonathon Howard A STREET parking dispute between a pair of Bilambil Heights neighbours quickly escalated on Saturday, February 15, after one man pointed a replica gun at a woman from his car. Police were quick to attend the Tweed Street address where a 46-year-old man was arrested and charged with multiple offences including intimidation and stalking. Police said it was around 2pm when a 39-year-old woman alerted police after she received threatening text messages from a neighbour regarding street parking. “Shortly after, officers attended Tweed Street, Bilambil Heights, and spoke with the 39-year-old woman,” police said. “Police will allege that the male neighbour drove past the woman about 4.30pm and allegedly pointed a gun at her through the car window. “Officers approached the man and removed him, and another woman, from the car. Upon searching the vehicle, officers located two replica flintlock pistols.” The 46-year-old man and woman were arrested and taken to Tweed Heads Police Station. Following inquiries, the woman was released without charge. Police said they charged the man with using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend, armed with intent to commit an indictable offence, possessing an unauthorised pistol and stalking/intimidation intending fear or physical harm. He was refused bail and appeared at Tweed Heads Local Court on Sunday, February 16, where he was granted conditional bail to reappear at the same court on Wednesday, February 26.

T W E E D P O L I C E h ave ex p re s s e d disappointment with the number of drinkdriving offences across the Tweed Shire with some drivers nabbed at more than four times the legal limit and with a child on board. Local police officers have been taking part in a statewide traffic operation known as Operation Drink Drive 1. “It is disappointing to see numerous drink driving matters across the district including two high-range drink drivers, seven mid-range and eight low-range offences detected since the operation commenced (February 14),” police said. Police were again out in force on Sunday, February 16, to target drink driving. Police said in one disturbing incident, a 42year old man from Banora Point was stopped on the Pacific Highway at Tweed Heads at about 10pm on Saturday, February 15. “He registered a high-range reading of 0.152 and had his licence immediately suspended and charged,” police said. “At the time of the offence, he had his fouryear old daughter in the vehicle with him.” Later that night (February 15), Tweed Police nabbed another drink driver on Golden Links Drive in Murwillumbah. Police said it was about 12.10am when they spotted a white Toyota Hilux utility travelling in a westerly direction. “This vehicle turned right into Golden Links Drive and when he was 30 metres south of the intersection of Tamarisk Avenue police activated their lights and sirens to conduct a mobile random breath test on the driver,” police said. “The accused stated that he had just finished a scotch and dry at a local club.”

The man returned a mid-range reading of 0.09 and his licence was immediately suspended. The man will front Murwillumbah Local Court on Thursday, March 19. Police said the message to drivers is: “if you intend to drink, don’t drive”. The operation, which is led by the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, utilised police from the Tweed/Byron Police District with 2,740 roadside breath tests conducted, resulting in 50 drivers being detected for drinkdriving offences in the district. Superintendent David Roptell, Tweed/Byron Police District Commander, said that’s one person testing positive for every 55 drivers tested. “Although the operation has concluded, the presence of police does not stop,” Supt Roptell said. “Officers will continue to focus heavily on drink driving within the local area, and will be targeting repeat offenders, licensed premises, as well as peak times for alcohol related crashes. “It’s not acceptable for people to drink drive. We all need to take responsibility to stop this behaviour on our roads.” Supt Roptell said 70 per cent of people who die on country roads are locals. “They are members of our community, our family, our friends. We don’t want to see any more injuries or deaths on our roads due to drink driving,” police said. During the Northern Region phase of Operation Drink Drive 1, police conducted more than 32,000 random breath tests and charged 69 people with drink driving. A total of 73 seatbelt offences were detected and more than 400 tickets were issued for speeding.

Feeling Dizzy?

POLICE BEAT

Pedestrian struck at Tweed Heads

You could have a balance or ves�bular disorder

BALANCE is easily taken for granted. However when the fragile ves�bular organs of the inner ear and brain are damaged by illness or injury, anyone can lose their ability to balance.

o achieve good physical balance, we rely on our brain, eyes, innerear, and musculoskeletal system to work in harmony.

Balance disorders are typically under diagnosed and undertreated. More than 1/3 of adults aged 40 years and older experience vestibular dysfunction at some point in their lives. Common symptoms of vestibular disorders include vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is a spinning or whirling sensation, or an illusion of the self or world moving. Dizziness is a lightheaded, floating or rocking sensation. Poor balance, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, hearing loss, tinnitus, and pain or fullness in the ears can accompany vestibular disorders.

HOW CAN YOUR OSTEOPATH HELP? There are many causes of dizziness or vertigo. But most types of vestibular disorders can be diagnosed by means of a thorough medical history and clinical examination. The most common type of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), and once diagnosed is easily treated with repositioning manoeuvres, with a success rate of 90%. (Silva, 2014). Another type of vertigo encountered is Cervicogenic Vertigo, which is due to a dysfunction in the neck. Again once diagnosed, it can be easily treated with Osteopathic intervention. Your Osteopath can diagnose most of the common types of vestibular disorders and can either treat the condition or refer on for further diagnosis and treatment. Dr Rudi Gerhardt B.Sc., D.O.

First big test for Community Action Teams

“The overwhelming feedback has been very positive.” At the height of the 2017 flood disaster the SES received a call every two minutes and a flood rescue request every four minutes. There were also many undocumented rescues as boats went past buildings and took stranded residents onboard. Emergency workers said at the time the failure of residents to heed evacuation warnings put SES members lives at risk. After the 2017 floods, Tweed Shire Council conducted surveys and ran drop-in sessions to raise the awareness of the risk of flooding and to build more prepared and flood-resilient communities. CMD Frost said at the time there were a lot of new people in the area “and many of them don’t understand the flood risks or do research and think about what they will do in a flood situation”. “A lot of people were complacent, but it’s called a floodplain for a reason, the whole Tweed Valley has been shaped by a millennium of floods,” he said. Now Uki, Tumbulgum, Burringbar, Tyalgum and Chillingham all have CAT teams with Crabbes Creek and Kunghur looking at coming on board as well. The Stokers Siding community has also organised a flood debrief with the SES.

Are you missing out? “I cannot believe how much I was missing!” “For the first time in years, I am hearing distant noises when driving down the street. Now I can even hold a conversation with my good friend when he’s sitting at the other end of his long table, and the best thing about these hearing aids is I am not straining all the time, trying hard to listen. I AM ACTUALLY HEARING WITH CLARITY… and it’s EASY!” These were comments from a 56-year-old client as soon as he walked into my Audiology room after having trialled hearing aids in both ears and only after 1 week. What was unexpected in this case was just how much sound and conversation this gentleman was missing out on…and he didn’t realise it. This is often the case, with studies showing that people with hearing loss wait a decade

longer than they should to address their difficulties with hearing and most importantly communicating with others. WE WANT TO HELP THIS BE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE!! So, if you are noticing: • The TV always has to be up loud • Others tell you that you talk loudly • If you want to improve your difficulty hearing conversation in noise • If you struggle to hear your precious grandchildren …then our team at Sunshine Hearing can definitely help you.

By Jo Kennett THE COMMUNITY Action Teams (CAT), set up in the wake of Cyclone Debbie, were put to the test last week and proved an overwhelming success. SES Murwillumbah Unit Commander Jack Frost said the idea behind CATs is that the SES can make one call to a village and that message is then passed along and the plan for that CAT team can then be actioned. “We’ve been pretty active setting up CATs because a lot of villages get isolated in floods,” Mr Frost said. “Some were already set up or in the process of being set up and we were sending SMS and emails and they were getting the messages out to the community. “In Tumbulgum they have CAT Hub Coordinators that look after certain areas. “I just ring the CAT Leader and they ring their eight Hub Coordinators and they pass it on to their section. “When the SES put the flood bulletin out, I would email it or send an SMS out if it was urgent. “We know Tumbulgum gets isolated quite early on because Tweed Valley Way gets flooded and then Terranora Road floods and they get cut off. “They (the Tumbulgum CAT team) were providing information about the situation there and we were providing them with information from our flood bulletins and media releases.” Mr Frost said an issue they found from ex-tropical Cyclone Debbie was that better communication between emergency service workers and communities was needed “and that’s what we are trying to do with these teams”. “We will have a wash up when everything settles down and talk to each of the CAT teams individually,” Mr Frost said. “We will look at what worked and what we can do to improve it.

Chillingham Park renaming to honour Claire Masters By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors will consider a motion to rename Chillingham Sports Field to “Claire Masters Recreation Reserve” in honour of the deeply passionate environmentalist who passed away suddenly in May 2019. At its meeting on November 21, 2019, Council resolved to call for comments and received one submission in support from the Chillingham Community Association. Association member and long-time friend of Claire, Brian Harmon, told The Weekly it was a great way to honour Claire’s legacy and her dedication to improving our environment. “Claire was a truly remarkable person and she is sorely missed,” he said. “She did so much for our community and for the Tweed environment. “I believe renaming this park is a great way to recognise what she achieved for the Chillingham Community, the Caldera Environment Centre, Tweed Shire Council, Landcare, The Greens and many other local organisations that she worked tirelessly for over the 25 years before her death.”

Claire planted thousands of trees in an overgrown gully adjacent to the Chillingham Community Centre and many hundreds of trees in the riparian zone of the Rous River next to this regeneration site, beginning way back in 2006. Along with members of the community association and Chillingham Landcare she continued to maintain and extend these tree planting sites until her sudden death last year. “Claire had lobbied Council for many years to get the council to nominate the riparian zone next to the Community Centre as a major site for Natonal Tree Day and was very excited to learn before her death that this was going to go ahead on 28 July, 2019,” Mr Harmon said. Claire’s efforts helped attract a big crowd of people from all over the Tweed and some from much further afield for National Tree Day on October 28, 2019, at the oval next to the Chillingham Community Centre. More than 1,000 trees were planted in the riparian zone of the Rous River which had been prepared by Council staff prior to the day. Chillingham locals planted several trees for Claire and another much loved local Peter Sibley who died just a few days before Claire.

Seniors Card a fiasco, says Member for Lismore MEMBER FOR Lismore Janelle Saffin has slammed the State Government’s rollout of its new regional seniors transport card labelling it a “fiasco”, as carers and disability support pensioners remain ineligible. Ms Saffin said the state government late last week caved-in to sustained opposition and community pressure by extending the card to war veterans and war widows, many who are our locals here on the North Coast and the Northern Tablelands. “During last year’s State election, the Nationals and their candidate for Lismore Mr Curtin trumpeted this card as something really special for seniors, but the reality is that it is for a lucky few,” Ms Saffin said. “I know our pensioners across my four Local Government Areas thought ‘great’ … just as I did … a bit of relief for petrol, some need it to take their loved ones to medical appointments and for themselves. “In the country, we cannot always hop on a bus or a train like our city cousins can. “Firstly, there was a nine-month delay in making the card available, followed by disbelief from veterans that they, and others, would be treated as second class citizens. “To exclude veterans, who have given such great service to Australia, was just plain wrong

and the Berejiklian-Barilaro Government had to be shamed into correcting this error of judgment. “To continue to shut out carers and disability support pensioners is cruel and hurts country folk and communities harder. These seniors are no less deserving of the card. “The Nationals claim they are the only ones looking after country NSW, which is bunkum anyway, and their mean-spirited approach to who qualifies for this card, shows how silly their posturing is.” The regional seniors travel card provides eligible seniors living in the Lismore Electorate with a $250 prepaid card to help with the cost of everyday travel, and can be applied for through Service NSW.

By Jonathon Howard SEVERAL TWEED Shire residents are expressing increased concerns with dogs off leads in restricted areas as well as increasing dog attacks with one worried resident telling The Weekly: “the beaches and streets are no longer safe”. Tweed Shire Council recently reported in Tweed Link (February 13) that it was experiencing an “alarming increase” in the number of dog attacks. “With many of these extremely serious,” the report read. “Complaints have also been received relating to dogs off leash, particularly on coastal areas such as beaches and creeks.” Council’s Director of 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 seven 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.” Mr Connell said Council rangers will continue to conduct increased patrols throughout the Tweed and enforcement action will be taken where an offence has been detected. “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. One resident, who prefered not to be named, said he was fed up with the situation along the coast and emphasised the need for Council rangers to “crack down” and make an example of “irresponsible dog owners” “There have been 22 dog attacks in January 2020 alone. Our beaches and streets are no longer safe,” the resident told The Weekly. “A number of residents including myself have been asking Council to enforce their dog policy for many years now. “Council’s response has been: “we do not have enough resources” to handle the situation.” The resident said if the news headlines read: “50 people fined for dogs off leash” the public would take heed.

YOU CAN achieve radiant skin all year round by following some simple tips. First and foremost make sure you always remove any makeup before you sleep. Your skin needs to breathe overnight, as makeup can clog your pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Exfoliate at least once or twice a week to remove the layers of dead skin. You should notice a difference straight away. Always apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Remember you are what you eat so keep a note of your diet and try to include fresh fruit and veges wherever possible. Hit the gym or go for a walk regularly to keep your body’s circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process. You will feel

Department of Education objects to Terranora mobile phone tower By Jonathon Howard THE DEPARTMENT of Education has strongly objected against proposed plans to construct a mobile phone tower at 47 Terranora Road, Banora Point, with Tweed Shire Councillors set to vote on the motion during their monthly meeting at Tweed Heads on Thursday, February 20. The development application, which is recommended for approval with conditions, has drawn a range of objections stemming from the proximity of the tower to Banora Point Public School. The site is located about 250 metres from the grounds of the school with a “significant number” of submissions from stakeholders at the school including staff and families of students objecting to the proposal on health-related grounds. Council’s report also noted there are two preschools located nearby that have also raised concerns with the new tower. In their December 5, 2019, meeting councillors deferred the application to this week in order to seek further information from the Department of Education about their policy on mobile telecommunications towers that they should be 500 metres away from schools. Council received a response from School Infrastructure NSW Asset Manager Executive Director, Terry Stevens, who wrote strongly against the tower’s approval. “Because the carriers are already established on the current site, this seems to have been accepted as the preferred option with no genuine

consideration of alternatives that will address the school community’s sincere concerns,” the letter reads. “Given the deficiencies in the application and level of community dissatisfaction, the department maintains significant concern with this proposal and wishes to emphasise our strong objection due to the potential adverse impacts of the proposal on the Banora Point Public School and the broader local community.” Mr Stevens emphasised the need for a precautionary approach. “Until there is undeniable evidence that there are no long-term public health effects from EME exposure, a precautionary approach is advised,” his letter reads. Mr Stevens also pointed out that the department’s policy of a 500-metre buffer from phone towers has been in place since the mid-1990s and was adopted to establish a clear position for the community and for telecommunications carriers. “A 500-metre buffer between schools and telecommunications facilities, including mobile phone towers, was identified to support a precautionary approach in relation to the question of the health effects of EME and to recognise and address community opposition that was expressed whenever such facilities were proposed to be located near schools,” his letter reads. “The department consistently applies this policy when responding to notified proposals for telecommunications facilities near schools.” Mobile phone technologies already reside on the water

An artist’s impression of the proposed mobile phone tower

reservoir located on the site, but the telecommunication companies say they are required to shift. The joint application from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, said in a joint statement that a requirement to construct a mobile phone tower off the water reservoir and need for greater mobile phone coverage prompted the application. The application also highlighted they were adhering to Australian s t a n d a r d s i n t h e p ro p o s e d development set out by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Authority (ARPANSA) as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO). The application highlighted that Tweed Shire Council had directed the phone companies to remove

all existing telecommunications equipment from the water reservoir. “This has resulted in the critical need for a replacement site to ensure the continued delivery of mobile services to the local area,” the application reads. “The proposed replacement facility is to be sited within 10 metres of the existing site on top of the water reservoir, which is within the same allotment.” The applicants said the site on the existing water reservoir has been used by the carriers since 1995, to provide mobile coverage. “Without the existing site (or a replacement site), the local area will suffer from degraded mobile services,” the application reads. “Pockets of the local area will have no coverage, which in some instances

may result in the inability to make emergency calls (approximately 50+ calls per month). “The main radiofrequency objectives of the proposal are to maintain the existing coverage in the area, not degrade the area’s coverage, keep or improve the network quality, and futureproof the network in order to avoid future upgrades on the proposed site. “The subject proposal satisfies the abovementioned objectives and would have a big enough coverage area to make the need for secondary sites in this area less likely in future.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe the need for greater mobile phone coverage should trump a precautionary approach to mobile phone towers?

End of the road for Holden

t e g d n a t n e d n e p e Buy ind ! s s e l r o f d a o r e th n o back

By Jonathon Howard NEWS OF the iconic Holden brand being retired by General Motors has rocked the Australian motoring landscape with families sharing fond memories of their times with one of the country’s most wellknown brands. But as many motoring journalists pointed out, the real end of Holden came several years ago when manufacturing was shipped overseas, and factories fell silent. Thoughts have now switched to the 600 Holden employees who will lose their jobs. As the shock settles in for Holden fans, the ABC has reported Ford will remain in Australia and may even be able to offer jobs to some of the laid-off Holden workers. Federal Industry Minister Karen Andrews called Fords Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive, Kay Hart. “She indicated very clearly to me that Ford is as committed as ever to Australia and that they continue to invest here,” Ms Andrews told the ABC. “She didn’t give a never-ending commitment and I would not expect that from her. “I asked that we kept in touch and she’s agreed to that.” Both Holden and Ford ended their manufacturing operations in Australia several years ago.

But Ford remains Australia’s largest automotive employer and has more than 2,000 engineers, designers and technical and automotive specialists working across four sites in Victoria. Ford said it had a further $500-million worth of investment planned in Australia for this year. Ms Hart said the displaced Holden workers may find opportunities at Ford. “We have such a big design and engineering team here in Australia,” Ms Hart told the ABC. “We are hiring at the moment and I’m sure that there’s some great talent in that Holden team. “So, we would definitely be looking, in terms of if that skill set did fit with us.” Ms Hart said Ford also remained “firmly committed” to its operations in Australia. “From a Ford Australia standpoint, we have a great model line-up here,” Ms Hart said. “We have one of the top-selling vehicles in the Ford Ranger, that is designed and engineered right here in Australia and doing so well for us. “We have a great range of products that seem to really resonate with our customers here, which is such an important part for us.”

Halls Tyre Service ready to host Charity Day Show ‘n’ Shine

Pictured above is Drew Hutchinson’s new pride and joy, a 1954 Cadillac pictured alongside the Halls Tyre Service team

By Jonathon Howard HALLS TYRE Service is gearing up for another big Charity Day Show ‘n’ Shine at their 1 Mayfield Street, Murwillumbah, site on Sunday, March 8. The Show ‘n’ Shine has become a popular drawcard amongst Tweed locals and visitors with some standout models on display in 2019 and more expected this year. Halls Tyre Service owner Sue Hall told The Weekly the team

were thrilled to host another family event featuring some of the finest cars across the Northern Rivers and South East Qld. “After the big turnout last year, we’re really excited to host the event again,” Sue said. “We are expecting another big turnout and we’re also going to have plenty of other activities including the market stalls, kids face painting, a jumping castle, more food stalls and raffles.”

The event raises vital funds for Tweed Palliative Care Wedgetail Retreat, which receives no government funding and relies on events like this. Among the glistening beauties this year is a 1954 former White House Cadillac, which is sure to turn heads with its presidential style. Automotive enthusiast and Southern Cross Credit Union Murwillumbah Manager Drew Hutchinson purchased the ’54

AUTOMOTIVE SUSPENSION & EXHAUST

Cadi six months ago and was enjoying every minute. “I bought it off a Newcastle car museum known as Lost in the 50s Museum,” he said. The car was an official US Government vehicle during Dwight Eisenhower’s time as president between 1953 to 1961. “It’s all original,” Mr Hutchinson said. “The interior and exterior are both in perfect condition, it’s a

part of the reason I purchased it sight unseen. “I’d really like to encourage residents to come along to the Halls Tyre Show ‘n’ Shine, it’s a great event with plenty of amazing vehicles and fun for the whole family.” To find out more about the Halls Tyre Service Charity Day Show ‘n’ Shine please phone their office on (02) 6672 1133 or visit 1 Mayfield Street.

BRAY PARK

BRAY PARK Mechanical owner Mark Fendley is pleased to announce a new owner and operator Holly Fitzgibbon will take the reins of the popular local mechanical shop. A long time and passionate local, Ms Fitzgibbon told The Weekly she was excited to take on her next adventure in her life after 10 years in the industry. She also has some fresh and exciting ideas and will specialise in brakes, suspension, front end repairs across all makes and models. “I couldn’t be happier with the move,” she said. “This has been a dream of hers for many years having been in the trade since I was 12.” Ms Fitzgibbon said her spark for mechanical repairs started very young and she started her apprenticeship when she was 15 years old in 2010. “I’m keen to provide the same friendly local service to the region that’s become a tradition at Bray Park,” she said. “We would love for locals to come down and say hello and book in some mechanical work to get the ball rolling.” Bray Park mechanical has been servicing the Tweed Shire since 1962 and continues to provide old-fashioned service with modern equipment and techniques. Mr Fendley said he was pleased to hand the reins over to Ms Fitzgibbon, who he said a great attitude and outlook toward the future of the business. “I think the business is in great hands,” he said. “Holly knows the area and locals extremely well and I’m sure she will go far in the industry. “We like the community to come down and wish Holly the best in the new venture, and book in some work.” To find out more about Bray Park Mechanical please phone (02) 6672 4240 or visit 46 Kyogle Road, Bray Park.

Skin Health

Eczema: How Can I stop the Itch?

Roughly 15 per cent of the community have eczema, ranging from extremely mild to intensely severe.

Eczema may occur at any age, commonly seen in early childhood and for adults in the latter years. There are several t ypes of Eczema; Atopic Eczema has a familial or hereditary connection. Contact Dermatitis, is usually work-related, involving a product or environment. Adult Seborrhoeic is not closely associated with an allergy as Eczema generally is. It is more yeast driven by the natural yeast found on the skin. Infantile Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, or commonly known as Cradle Cap, this usually clears after a few months from birth and has a possible link to fungus as a cause. Pomphlyx is usually found on the hands and feet and displayed as itchy blisters. Discoid Eczema as the name suggests, appears like small discs, about the size of a 50c coin and can ooze and be bumpy, to begin with.

Relief from Eczema

The number one thing that significantly affects Eczema is diet. The old adage “you are what you eat” rings as true to this disease as any other. Keeping a healthy microbiome (gut bacteria balance) which comes from correct food and lifestyle. The question is asked if diet is so important then why do babies that are breastfed able to contract the disease and the answer is many fold. For example, genetic variables and inherited traits, the mother's diet and stress factors all have input to the problem. The issues surrounding this disease abound which is the reason it has been a most challenging disease for science to address. At the Good Skin Clinic, our success rate is so outstanding because our focus is different to most. We not only treat the symptom, but our focus is primarily on the causative factors. Our expertise lies in understanding the chemistry of food and its effect on the body.

Asteatotic Eczema is when the skin becomes cracked and looks like the texture of a driedup mud puddle or crazed pottery and is associated with dry skin on your shins.

Op shop to crack down on dumping

The ﬂoating reed beds at Banora Point have proved successful

By Jonathon Howard TWEED PALLIATIVE Support President Meredith Dennis OAM says the staff and community are fed up with illegal dumpers following a fire that appears deliberately lit at the op shop on Cliffords Lane, South Murwillumbah, on Friday, February 14. Ms Dennis said it was “extremely disappointing” turning up at the op shop to find a complete mess and remnants of a fire. “This is disgusting behaviour at our local op shop,” she said. “We’ve now made the decision to install CCTV and those caught dumping at the site will be fined.”

Floating reeds to improve drainage “As such, it’s also a stretch prone to noxious aquatic weeds. “The reed bed plants will draw on the excess nutrients and as their roots grow to one metre or more through the water column, they will trap sediment and function like a naturally occurring floating island in a wetland or lake system.” Tweed Shire Council said the reed beds will also provide habitat for a range of wildlife including fish and water birds. “Temporary bird mesh will be used to stop the birds damaging the young plants while they establish,” a Council spokesperson said. “The Western Drainage System discharges into the Terranora Broadwater, which is classified as a state-significant coastal lake and important fish breeding and migratory bird area.” Mayor Katie Milne said everybody loves waterways. “Even though this waterway is classified as a drain for the surrounding development, the community and Council want to see it in a healthy state with flourishing marine and bird life for all to enjoy,” Councillor Milne said.

The terrible mess left behind at Tweed Palliative Care’s op shop, which was the last straw for the staﬀ and volunteers. Inset is a CCTV example image expected to be installed soon.

CONTRACTORS HAVE just finished installing the first in a series of floating reed beds at Banora Point to improve water quality. The $236,000 project at the Banora Point Western Drainage System will see 600 square metres of waterway covered by the reed beds, following the successful trial of a small bed. Contractor SPEL Environmental installed the first bed last week before being rained out and will return to complete the three-week installation behind Ron Wilkinson Sports Field on Fraser Drive, Banora Point, as soon as the weather fines up. The beds are made from recycled plastic and will be planted with native reeds, sedges and herbs. Tweed Shire Council Manager of Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said the reed bed “lets us treat a greater portion of the flows through the system before it reaches Vintage Lakes”. “The water in this area is often poor quality as it takes a lot of run-off from the surrounding residential housing and can carry high amounts of sediment and nutrient,” Mr Rose said.

Ms Dennis said the staff, including op shop manager Edna Gorton, have put up with a lot of dumping over the years. “It’s really time we stepped up security, which is a big expense, but we can’t afford to risk further damage,” Ms Dennis said. The Palliative Support team said they will prosecute those caught. “It’s reached the point where we need to take action,” she said. “I would urge those responsible to cease this behaviour or you will be caught.” Anyone that can assist Tweed Palliative Support Secondhand Store is encouraged to contact Tweed Police on (07) 5506 9499 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Landholders set to debate Draft Rural Land Strategy

By Jonathon Howard THE DRAFT Rural Land Strategy (RLS) is back on the agenda in 2020 with Tweed Shire Council preparing to host a workshop for key stakeholders on Wednesday, February 26, at the Murwillumbah Golf Club. Among those invited to attend are three representatives from Tweed Rural Sustainability Alliance (TRSA), Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association, Tweed Cane Growers Association, Tweed Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association plus State Government representatives, Tweed Shire Council staff and councillors Mr Hammill (acting President of TRSA) said that the majority of rural lots in the Tweed are unviable for farming and the environment that we all seek and treasure has a physical, mental and dollar cost which is born by the landholder but is for the community benefit. “We need to give the landholders a financial basis away from the unreliable vagaries of farming to maintain the environment and scenic amenity and one step in a positive direction is to allow Detached Dual Occupancy dwellings on all RU1 and RU2 lots,” he said. “The draft RLS has identified niche crops as the future of farming in the Tweed but they have done this with little regard to the Council consultant’s issues paper that state that the majority of rural lots in the Tweed are only

suitable for grazing and grass lands due to poor soil types and steep slopes. “A couple of examples of this are the costly failures of the niche crops of taro and dry rice which were trialed in the Tweed.” TRSA is hoping that the workshop will resolve their concerns with the current draft RLS. The RLS contains 141 action points and TRSA has stated that there are 83 points that they did not disagree with. However, there are 11 points that needed clarification, 36 points that needed minor adjustments, 11 points that needed to be deleted or rewritten and three extra points added. Of particular concern to TRSA members, are two action points being action point 10, which increases lot sizes on RU1 zoned land from 10 hectares to 40 hectares. TRSA is requesting that this point be deleted in order to “ensure that no dwelling entitlements are lost”. The other action point of concern to TRSA is action point 83 which allows for dual occupancy detached dwellings (DDOs) but only on properties that are 40 hectares or more. TRSA would like to see DDOs allowed for all rural lots regardless of lot size. TRSA has already issued TSC with eight conditions to control dual occupancy development and these are designed to prevent subdivision or interference with agricultural production, prevent building on a slope greater than allowed in an

Debate around the Draft Rural Land Strategy dates back several years and has been highly debated by local landholders

urban situation or interfere with the scenic amenity. TRSA said the DDO could be no larger than the existing dwelling on the allotment or up to 200 square metres, whichever is larger and would control the minimum distances to neighbouring boundaries and dwellings. Several issues have also been raised by the Cane Growers Association in relation to the Draft Rural Land Strategy including three additional amendments. The first is to allow transfer of dwelling entitlement from floodplain land to higher land under the same ownership.

The second is to permit rural landholders in flood prone areas to build flood mounds so as to preserve livestock and machinery in the event of a flood. The third amendment calls to allow boundary alterations between neighbouring properties so as to encourage the continuation of sustainable and viable agriculture. “These amendments sought by Tweed Rural Sustainability Alliance plus Combined Tweed Rural Industries Association and Tweed Cane Growers Association are for the benefit of the wider community,” Mr Hammill said. Mr Hammill said there were now hundreds of landholders and respective

association members supporting their calls. “We have already had more than 800 signatures on our paper petition against the current document,” he said. “But we also had over 1,700 signatures from an online petition, which was not accepted by Council due to online conditions in regard to petitions.” Mr Hammill said that there was a loss of trust in Council’s motives and intentions with the RLS “We intend to fight for these points as they offer the best outcomes for landholders and hope to avoid further escalation of the matter to the State Government,” he said.

Fabulous Fossils well worth a visit at Tweed Regional Museum By Jonathon Howard TWEED RESIDENTS are invited to experience the wonders of dinosaur fossils at the Tweed Regional Museum’s latest temporary exhibition, Fabulous Fossils. The exhibition brings together a special collection of dinosaur parts, ancient shark teeth and marine fossils, as part of the museum’s Collector’s Cabinet series. Local geologist George Casper (aka Geological George) and

his family travel the world in search of some the most unusual fossils ever unearthed. They also have an extensive collection of rocks, crystals and minerals from all over the world at their distribution and sales centre located at 5/19 Lundberg Drive, South Murwillumbah. In 2006, George found a vertebra from the giant dinosaur Spinosaurus in Southern Victoria. The discovery changed our understanding of the order in which continents separated

and the vertebra was sent to be studied at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the US. George had been working in the mining industry in Kalgoorlie in Western Australia but with the impending arrival of their baby, Tristan, the family decided to swap red dirt for the Tweed Valley. What started as a hobby selling crystals and fossils at markets turned into a prosperous local business, Geological George.

“I have always had an interest in natural history and I discovered my passion for geology through palaeontology,” George said. “I used to collect the teeth of fossil sharks and sell them at markets 20-odd years ago.” This is the first time George and his family have had their collection exhibited publicly. Curator Erika Taylor said there were very few fossils to be found in the Tweed and none

were included in this Collector’s Cabinet display. “We are lucky to have such fabulous collectors in the local community,” she said. “This is a very special opportunity to see a brilliant collection of fossils from around the world, without having to travel to a capital city.” The display of fossils complements the Museum’s new permanent exhibition Land | Life | Culture, which

explores the Tweed’s geological, ecological and cultural history. Fabulous Fossils is on exhibition at Tweed Regional Museum Murwillumbah until May 5, 2020. For more information visit museum.tweed.nsw.gov.au Tweed Regional Museum is located at 2 Queensland Road, Murwillumbah and is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am4pm (NSW).

Love Your Sister fundraiser at Regent Cinema By Jonathon Howard AUSTRALIAN ACTOR Samuel Johnston’s charity Love Your Sister will be the focus of a special fundraiser movie night at the Regent Cinema on Friday, February 21, from 7pm. Dragons Abreast Mt Warning is hosting the fundraiser with the wonderful movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, starring Tom Hanks. Mr Johnston has also confirmed he will be making a special visit to the Tweed Shire in the near future. “He is on a hectic schedule of visits around Australia, but he has accepted our invitation to take a ride in the Dragons Abreast Mount Warning dragon boat,” the club’s president Anne Bowden said. “The popular actor has spent the last ten years of his life raising awareness for the need to do regular breast checks for cancer while he has been raising funds to progress research for all cancers.” The evening will be the beginning of a big two years for the paddlers of Dragons Abreast Mount Warning. They are focused on taking a team of 22 people who have had treatment for breast cancer to the international regatta at Lake Karapiro, New Zealand, in 2022. Mrs Bowden said with one woman in seven having a diagnosis of breast cancer in their lifetime and 130 men diagnosed with the disease each year, there are many people in our community who would be welcome aboard the Dragon’s Abreast boat.

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

It is not easy to make a movie about someone with a disability. Often interpreted by able-bodied actors, movies that tackle disability have to combine sensitivity and realism and often end up losing credibility. That’s why I want to talk about The Peanut Butter Falcon, a retelling of the Huckleberry Finn story set in contemporary times that revolves around Zak, a 22-year old man with Down Syndrome. Zak lives in an assisted living facility in North Carolina where social worker Eleanor looks after him. Zak dreams of becoming a professional wrestler at the school run by his hero whose videos he watches obsessively. One night he manages to sneak out of the home and hide on a small fishing boat that belongs to Tyler, a troubled fisherman and a thief with a big heart. When Tyler discovers Zak he tries to get rid of him, but after witnessing kids bullying him decides instead to accompany him to the wrestling school on his way to Florida.

Dragon Abreast Mt Warning will host a special fundraiser for Samuel Johnston’s (inset) charity Love Your Sister

“To have our own team representing our local area is an exciting challenge that we look forward to,” she said. “Physical fitness is not a requirement to join us as that will come with training. “People who enjoy working as part of a team while making the most of every day that they have, are most welcome to come along and try Dragon Boating on our beautiful Tweed River.” For further information contact Anne Bowden 0428 446 482, check the

Facebook page Dragons Abreast Mt Warning, or look for the movie night. “That night is the current focus which promises to be an enjoyable night with plenty of fun people to share the night,” Mrs Bowden said.

During their travels the relationship between the two develops: Tyler teaches Zak how to swim and fire a gun, and encourages his self-confidence. While Eleanor is frantically looking for Zak, he is enjoying a new life and creates a wrestling persona for himself: The Peanut Butter Falcon. The name is chosen because he and Tyler have been eating peanut butter extensively as it was the one grocery item that was affordable. When Eleanor finally finds them, instead of persuading Zak to come back with her to the retirement home, Tyler convinces her to accompany them on their journey, and their adventures continue… The actor starring in the role of Zak, Zack Gottsagen, is actually living with Down Syndrome. The two co-directors of the movie first met him at a camp for actors with disabilities around 2011 in California. After shooting a proof-of-concept video, they received funding for a full feature, and the result is a road/raft-trip movie in the tradition of Forrest Gump that will warm your heart and will not lose credibility on the way.

THE JAMES Street Preachers will bring their blues tunes to Tweed Valley Jazz & Blues at the Condong Bowling Club on Friday, February 28, from 6.30pm. The popular blues duo said they remain on a mission to take the blues back to the streets, as a living homage to blues legend, Wylie Reed, who taught them their craft. Jamie Kasdaglis and Matt Lye were fortunate enough to learn at the feet of the master, playing in Reed’s backing band on and off for 15 years. “We were really fortunate that we got that experience,” Jamie said. “He’s the last of that generation. We want to continue that legacy of maintaining that real sound and entertainment.” Wiley Dean Reed (January 5, 1944 to October 7, 2012) was an Australian-based blues musician and songwriter, who sang and accompanied himself on the piano. He was a multi-award-winning artist who played with some of the genre’s biggest artists. In 2012, Wiley Reed and his band opened the 2012 Broadbeach Blues

Festival with Bob Malone, Chris Jagger, Phil Emmanuel and other international acts and was a highlight act on the main stage at the 2012 Noosa Jazz Festival. Reed died in hospital due to complications from an earlier fall in October 2012 in Brisbane, Australia. At the time of his death, he had a large following in Queensland and other states where he had played in festivals. Inspired by Reed, The James Street Preachers carry a part of his legacy and have performed and entertained audiences at popular festivals such as Blues on Broadbeach, Swell Festival and the Nimbin Roots Festival. Key influences include Muddy Waters, Willy Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howling Wolf, Hound Dog Taylor, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Don’t miss these authentic players, with great musicianship.

Celebrate our firefighters at Caba SLSC

By Jo Kennett CABARITA SLSC is presenting a cheque to local volunteer firefighters and they would love everyone to come along to help celebrate on Sunday, February 23. Fundraising coordinator Julie Cummings said they would present the donation of $503.45 to the Tweed Coast RFS, who operate out of Pottsville. The crew spent months, from September through to January, fighting fires all over NSW along with volunteers from other Tweed firefighting and rescue brigades. Ms Cummings said the funds were raised by going around local caravan parks “rattling the tin”. “We raised the money at Tweed Holiday Parks Pottsville South and North and Hastings Point,” she said. “We take the SLS wagon around with the flashing lights to get everyone’s attention and the kids love it. “A lot of holiday makers contributed to it which was great. “We really want to thank the Tweed Shire Council because without them letting us do this we wouldn’t be able to contribute to the RFS. We also really want to thank the managers of the three parks for allowing us to do this; they were all fantastic.” Ms Cummings, fundraising team member Annette North, Cabarita SLSC treasurer Rosemary Fisher and vice president Murray Neal have all been involved in the fundraising. “The presentation will be on at 5pm and we’d love people to come along to help us

celebrate the great work that the RFS have done,” Ms Cummings said. “We also have raffles and a members’ draw with $950 up for grabs. “We are running the SLS lottery to win an apartment in Brisbane and will soon be selling our raffle tickets for the Easter raffle coming soon.” Ms Cummings said the club is also looking for volunteers to get involved in fundraising. “It could be people that are new to the area and want to meet people – it’s a great way to get involved in the community and get to know people – or people who are already involved in the club.” The club has one of the best ocean views on the coast and the beach was recently voted the best beach in Australia. Cabarita Beach SLSC would love everyone to join in the presentation and this great celebration of community spirit. Food is available from 12-3pm on Sundays, as well as 12-8pm Fridays and Saturdays. Presentation: 5pm, Sunday, February 23 at 7 Pandanus Parade, Cabarita Beach.

Young local legend passes By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents have expressed their shock and sadness following the sudden passing of Jake Gabriel, 22, who featured on ABC’s Employable Me series. The production company behind the show, Northern Pictures, said they were devastated to hear that Jake, “our friend and participant in Employable Me, passed away recently”. “Jake was one of the loveliest people we have ever worked with. He was a kind, generous, fun, and considerate young man,” Northern Pictures said in a statement online. “Jake's family were his greatest supporters, and we are wanting to do anything we can to help them in this very difficult time. Northern Pictures have launched a GoFundMe page to assist Jake’s family with funeral costs. The target for the fundraising was set at $10,000 with more than $9,750 raised at the time of print. Anyone wanting to make a donation to support Jake’s family with funeral costs can visit: https://tinyurl.com/tj95snt Jake told The Weekly in April 2019 that he decided to apply for the series to encourage other people with disabilities to “get out and have a go”. “My support officer gave me all the details and after asking my mum and dad whether I could apply, we submitted an application,” Jake said. “From that, I was shortlisted and then Northern Pictures flew up to meet me and my family and see what an average day looks like for me. “After that, we got the call that I was part of the series.” Jake’s mum Kerry said they told Jake he may not get a job following the show, but he was more interested in showing people “that even those with a disability can still get out there and make a contribution to society”.

Jake Gabriel with his parents

“It gave me added confidence, especially for interviews and being on camera,” he said. Jake told The Weekly he loves boats, planes and quad-bike riding. “My first love was boats because my grandfather was part of the SES Rescue and he taught me everything and took me for rides,” he said. “But I specifically love quad bikes because it gives me freedom because I can’t drive. I feel so happy and free when I ride those quad bikes.” Jake said he was very grateful to Northern Pictures for the experience of being on the show. “I had so much fun with them,” he said. “I hope that this show encourages more people with disabilities to get out there and have a go.” Kerry said that Jake’s positive attitude helped him deal with his condition. “Sometimes I wish I could wave a magic wand and take it away from Jake but he really is great – he never just sits there or complains about life, he gets on with it,” she said. “He really is blessed because there are so many other people worse off.” Please check The Weekly Memoriams (page 51) for Jake’s funeral details.

Brighter future with student entrepreneurs By Jo Kennett A GROUP of Kingscliff High School students have won the Young Change Agents Northern Rivers Regional Pitch, which was held at Mullumbimby on Tuesday, February 18. The up-and-coming teen-trepreneurs battled it out to win the final after all the school’s teams completed the Young Change Agents two-day program and mentoring sessions with successful entrepreneurs and industry professionals to refine their projects. Year 11 students Imogyn Smith, Sati Brown and Emilia Stobrawe were part of the Orbis team who won a place in the regional competition. “Orbis is Latin for world and it is an app for the environment,” Sati said. “There are features like News, Shop, Eco Chat and Marketplace which is a secondhand shop like Buy Swap and Sell. “Five per cent out of all sales goes towards the Orbis Charity Foundation which will help with environmental clean ups. “The app includes documentaries, eco recipes, a CO2 tracker quiz, eco points (like rewards cards) and the Green Card.” Imogyn said that when they came up with the idea, they “were just bouncing off each other with ideas around a whiteboard and it was just so good”. “It was the best teamwork and at one point we had so many ideas we just went, stop, so this is very condensed. It was the best feeling,” she said. Emilia said they were proud of their idea. “We hope that we can realise this and actually make something of it,” she said. “We have more ideas for the app, and we are so excited. “We are hoping it could be put through school programs. “We want to have challenges on it about things like picking up rubbish or disposing of things and then also have school activities like

excursions and meat-free week at the school canteen.” Year 8 student Uta Kurahashi is one of five in the We Want a Future team that also made the regional finals. “Our idea is to recycle water that normally goes down the drain, like stormwater,” Uta said. “We will have solar panels with power stored in 38 Tesla walls to power a pump that pumps the water through a purifier and that will be stored as B grade water for agricultural and firefighters. “We would most likely sell it and truck it out, but it would be cheaper than normal water and we think it’s a good source because so much water goes down the drains. “The water would be harvested using the same pipes but just pumped into a separate facility.” Transitions Advisor Beth Matsuto said the students had put a lot of extra time into the projects. “They have done a lot of work in their own time and at home,” she said. “It’s the first time we have run the project, supported by the Young Change Agents and we hope we can use it as a project to run at school in future.”

By Rachael Lebeter TWEED VALLEY locals have been concerned about the number of sick lorikeets in the area this month as the colourful birds experience a range of issues. In addition to the normal reasons for rescuing lorikeets, such as car strikes, local lorikeets have also been suffering from paralysis in higher numbers than is usual. The paralysis has been affecting both rainbow lorikeets and scalybreasted lorikeets. Birds are usually found on the ground, unable to fly or walk properly. It is still unclear what is causing the high numbers of paralysed lorikeets.

It may be related to unseasonable weather, but no one is really sure. Fortunately, lorikeet paralysis is usually curable. The birds require medication and cage rest. They can be in care for long periods, even up to two months, before they are ready for release. If you find a lorikeet that is unable to walk or fly properly, it may be suffering from lorikeet paralysis. Call the TVWC 24-hour Hotline on (02) 667 24789 and we will arrange appropriate medical treatment for the bird. With the change in weather conditions, locals are reminded not to leave bird seed out. For many native birds, bird seed causes health issues. For example, galahs can suffer from liver failure if they eat too much of the wrong type of seed. It is better for birds to eat their native diet. Thanks to the recent

rain, many plants have recovered from the drought and birds should be able to find enough natural food. In addition to being unhealthy for many wild birds, bird seed can also be toxic. Seed that becomes wet quickly grows mould. Even when it looks and smells fine, damp seed can cause severe illness and death in all types of birds. Never leave bird seed out where it may become wet. We are also asking locals who have been leaving water out for local wildlife to continue to do so. Native animals will return to a familiar water source, such as a bird bath, even when there is water all around from the rain. It is important that any water containers for wildlife are kept clean. This helps prevent the spread of disease between animals and stops

Holding Shot with Judy Tuckey BRUNSWICK HEADS’ Open Fours Championship final between Margaret Darby, May Essery, Sherril Pearce, Lorraine McCormick (S) and Pauline Foster, Julie Quigley, Marcia Crichton, Jenny Lofts (S) presented with top quality bowls from all contestants. Team Lofts held the narrowest of leads throughout this close encounter with only one shot the difference after 17 ends. However, collecting a count of three, followed by a single, then gave Lofts and co a bit more leeway.

Team McCormick fired up again during the final two ends but were unable to reel in their opposition. A grand game between two grand teams. Pottsville ladies, Coral Nathan, Desley Watterson and Sue Lawrance, will be heading off to Blacktown Workers Club later next week to contest the State Summer League finals commencing Saturday, February 29. Drawn in Section 4, the team will be facing off against the Tuross Bunnies first up in Round One followed by Waverley Pirates,

Wests 2 and the Ettalong Cobras in Rounds 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Round Five is a bye for the team. Best wishes for every success at this comp, ladies. Due to rain affected greens, District Mixed Pairs, on the agenda to be conducted at Byron Bay on March 14-15, have now been rescheduled to be played at Pottsville, same day, same commencement time.

SUNSHINE COAST based, North Shore Boardriders Club, have taken out the Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle National Final in a nail-biting battle that came down to the dying seconds in the final. Power surfer Alister Reginato got across the line within the last five seconds after locking in a mammoth 8.15 wave score that propelled them from third to first position to take the win ahead of North Shelly, North Narrabeen and Bondi Boardriders who took second, third and fourth respectively. Reginato executed a chain of impressive backside snaps to post the score and cement the victory for the team. Born and bred Kingscliff lad, Shane Bevan, now living on the Sunshine Coast was one of the lynch pins in steering North Shore to victory. Kingscliff were eliminated early on Sunday, but not before some great performances in the seeding rounds from Mitch James and Dane Henry. Mitch had got some screaming barrels at Kirra last week, then flew to Newcastle with more of the same in mind. James found one of the best waves all morning in his Open Men’s heat, tucking into deep backside tube that was followed by a handful of powerful snaps and carves (see pictured above). James was rewarded with an excellent 8.75 that allowed him to take a victory

ahead of local and WSL Championship Tour surfer Ryan Callinan. “I was surprised that wave popped up and came my way as it doesn’t usually happen in heats,” James said. “After going right at Kirra all week, I felt a bit confused going left in the heat, but it was such a perfect wave. “It feels even better to get a win against someone like Ryan. It keeps the whole event interesting.” Burleigh Boardriders finished in 6th after eliminating Kingscliff in the early rounds, Byron Bay and Le Ba finishing in the quarter finals. Back to the drawing board for next year, and I am sure Snapper Rocks, who couldn’t even win a chook raffle last year, will be out to get back on top, they will be fired up and a club to watch out for.

Cabarita’s grommet training in full swing

Cabarita Boardriders have stepped up the game for their grommets, with grommet training held every Thursday morning from 6am at Cabarita Headland. The training focuses on technique and competition, and Cabarita are lucky to have some of the best coaches in the country with former pro’s Sasha Stocker and Mick O’Rafferty running the sessions. Watch out for Cabarita in the future, a top club will only get better.

You can check out Cabarita Boardriders Facebook page if your groms want to join up, and for grommets in the club looking to get into the training squad, contact Sasha Stocker on 0488 737 619.

Never too old to improve your surfing

The High Performance Centre at Casuarina, has just opened up some special Saturday sessions for surfers keen to improve on their skills. Basically, it’s a group session that recreational surfers can jump in on every Saturday. It is a maximum five surfers per group. Sessions include wave-by-wave video analysis, 80 surfboard demo quiver and skateboard training sessions. Prices start at $99 per person for half day and $199 for a full day. The professional team of Surfing Australia Level 2 accredited surf coaches are highly experienced. They will break down the technical aspects of surfing into simple, achievable progressions so that you can continue to improve independently after the session. My Dad used to say to me, “if you stop learning, you stop living”, so I reckon it is well worth seeing what you can pick up and improve in your surfing, and it is open to all surfers.

Cudgen blast their way to top spot By Jo Kennett MOST OF the games last weekend were washed out but a Cudgen win against Murwillumbah in Round 7 of the Two Day LJ Hooker League at Reg Dalton Oval on Saturday, February 15, saw the Hornets slip into pole position. Cudgen had a bye in Round 3 so with Pottsville’s bye this week the defending champions got the points they needed to see them perfectly placed going into the last two rounds before the finals start. Cudgen won the toss and sent the Panthers in to bat and for a

moment there, as Rob Watt took to the crease to open. “He managed the top score for Murwillumbah but sadly it was only 16 runs before he was bowled by Tim Spencer and caught by Alec Williams,” Pat Rosser said. “Murwillumbah started well but once we got the initial breakthrough the wickets came regularly. Timmy Spencer led the way with two wickets in his opening spell. “Caleb got a couple and then Kersh (Anthony Kershler) came on and closed the innings down fairly quickly with four quick wickets.

“Murwillumbah are quite a young side and lack a bit of experience, but I think they will be a real force in the years to come. “Connor McDowell (41 not out) and Caleb Ziebell (10 not out) opened the batting and chased the runs down with no wickets lost which was a pretty strong performance given it was a pretty tough wicket. “Our next game is against Alstonville so hopefully over the next games we will be full strength and can start to have some solid performances to win some games towards the business end of the season.”

ONCE AGAIN the Junior Club championships were postponed due to poor water visibility quality and are now programmed for the final weekend of junior activities on March 9. This weekend, the combined Branch Junior-Senior Championships will be held at Byron Bay. On Saturday, Board Riding competitors report for a 7am start. Officials and team managers report at 8am. Events on Saturday are for competitors aged eight years to under 15s. Beach events commence at 8.30am with the All Age Relay, and water areas at 9am. Eight year events start at 10am. On Sunday, the one and two kilometre run starts at 8.15am followed by the march past, juniors and seniors, and the official opening. Water areas commence at

9am with a full programme. Junior events include under 11 to under 14 flags, sprint, relays and board rescues. Competition for the senior and junior point score is expected to be a lot closer than the Country that Cudgen won comfortably with the removing of points scored by Warilla-Barrack Point who were second, Byron Bay and Lennox Head were a close third and fourth, Ballina finished eight, Yamba ninth and Cabarita eleventh. The NSW Junior Titles will be held the following Friday-Saturday at Swansea-Belmont. Our next SRC/Bronze medallion course will commence at 6pm on Thursday, February 27, subject to sufficient participants. This course will be a ‘standard’ course run over about six weeks. We anticipate each week we’ll have training sessions 6pm to 8pm on Thursday evenings and 9am to

THE SIXTH annual Tweed Coast Enduro is set to return to Pottsville on Saturday, March 7, with several professional triathletes lining up this year. Organisers are expecting competition to be fierce in the Men’s Open category, as they prepare to welcome eighttime Ironman Champion Luke McKenzie, 2012 Ironman World Champion Pete Jacobs, as well as Ironman 70.3 Champion Lindsey Lawry. Organisers have also announced they will welcome an ITU Age Group World Qualifier for the Long Course as part of their program. Athletes will be looking to qualify for the 2020 ITU Multisport World Championships in Almere, Amsterdam, in September. The event will also host a new event category, the Aquabike, which includes a 1.9km swim and 90km ride, skipping the run. The category will host the Triathlon Queensland Championships for the Aquabike.

Event Manager Kevin Pready said Pottsville is well equipped to handle the level of competition which comes with an ITU World Qualifier. “Pottsville is fast becoming well known as a fantastic triathlon location due to its supportive community and athlete friendly course.” “We are really excited to again showcase the region to new and returning visitors.” With over 600 athletes now entered, Pottsville will be buzzing with endurance athletes from across Queensland and New South Wales. Many athletes and their families will be staying locally, and accommodation centres are quickly filling up. Racing starts in Mooball Creek on an outgoing tide from Buckingham Street beach with a 1.9km swim. The 90km cycle leg then starts near the Tweed Holiday Park: Pottsville South and heads along Tweed Coast Road towards

Wooyung and the wooden railway bridge. The cycle is expected to be tough again this year, with riders likely to battle head winds and the heat. The final leg is the half marathon 21.1km run, which follows Overall Drive, the creek bank and Black Rocks fields. There is also a shorter “Sprint” distance for those looking to do their first triathlon locally. The Tweed Coast Enduro continues the proud tradition of fundraising for the Cabarita Surf Life Saving Club, and a number of other community groups including Tweed Raiders JRL, Pottsville Cricket Club, Murwillumbah CWA, Pottsville Men’s Shed, and the Pottsville Croquet Club. Organisers are aiming to raise $7500 for local groups this year. Race Director Mike Crawley thanks the residents and businesses in advance and acknowledges that this event will cause some traffic disruption. For more information or to enter, visitwww.tweedenduro.com.au.

For all education enquiries please email the Education Committee on education@cudgenslsc.org.au Last week’s trivia: The first logo was a beltman and surf reel with the motto “Vigilance and Service”. The surf belt had cork pieces sewn into it to assist flotation. In the 1923-24 season the front corks were reduced in size but increased to four from three and

back reduced four to two. A cork belt from the defunct Ballina Club in 1936-37 is on display in our Club. In the 1939-49 season the corkless belt was adopted and on the logo.

In 1992 the logo with Australian map with “The Life of the Beach” and in 2005 “Australian for Life” This week’s trivia: Why was pool rescue competition introduced into the World Life Saving Titles?
