By Jo Kennett THE DELUGE across the Tweed Shire over the weekend (January 18-19) was welcomed by all, despite causing traffic chaos and washing out roads and fences. Some areas of the Tweed received up to 250mm of rain on Friday night, January 17, with another 50mm in two hours on Sunday, January 19 also causing havoc in some places. Tweed Heads Golf Course recorded 195mm from Friday to Saturday morning, Murwillumbah received 173mm and Kingscliff received 205mm. Kunghur RFS Captain Ron Duckworth said around 200mm was received in the Kunghur area which was “very welcome”. Capt Duckworth said while there was no smoke coming from Mt Nardi and the fire emergency was over, there could still be logs smouldering inside the Mt Nardi National Park. “The rain is really good because we were really stretched out there firefighting in different areas week after week,” he said. “Everybody put their work on the backburner, and it was exhausting. It’s a bit of an adjustment not to be having to go out everywhere. It’s good to get a chance to catch up on the farm work.” The owner of Kingscliff Nursery, Greg Barlow, said the rain was welcome. “The dams are now full, and we are no longer in an emergency for water,” he said. “We were dire before. Without the management of irrigation, we would have run out of water.

“The downpour lifted spirits and dam levels and we are all breathing a sigh of relief. “It’s bought more customers in; they have come back in droves to get to work in their gardens. Sunday was a really good day.” A Clothiers Creek farmer said their fence had been knocked down by the rain over the weekend and would need to be repaired, but they welcomed the rain. “We got about 250mm on Friday night at Clothiers Creek,” he said. “Last week we were complaining about no water but now all the dams are full so it’s good. “The valley here is quite small so when it rains it flashes.

“It’s soaked into the ground which is good.” Tracy Lindberg had been rallying to help farmers in drought and fire-stricken towns to our west and was pleased to report that all those areas received desperately needed rain. “Texas didn’t get much but Inglewood got a good amount,” she said. “Tenterfield only got about 35mm, but Stanthorpe got quite a lot (over 100mm) “It did run off quickly, but some dams got water in them and some in tanks.’ More rain is expected over the Australia Day long weekend.

Bridge needs replacing

Of course Korns Bridge at Crystal Creek should be replaced by a safe two-lane bridge. A cynic might believe the government is using heritage value to avoid the cost of a new bridge. That’s why I used the word ‘safe’. One hundred years ago or so the locals might have thought how lovely the timber trusses looked, but I bet anything that the safety the bridge gave them in all weather was what they mainly appreciated. So what about the heritage value of the safety the pioneers were all about? One hundred years later it is now a dangerous nuisance. If demolished with a heavy crane and semi-trailer couldn’t the existing bridge be reconstructed over a smaller crossing somewhere? B Buckley, Crystal Creek

Busy bridge is dangerous

Yes I certainly believe Korns Bridge should be replaced. Living now in this area for many years and being close to the bridge and knowing the amount of traffic it takes each day – it is a vital road link to the surrounding areas and the Queensland border. One and a bit years ago all the necessary arrangements were made to replace the bridge. All the markers were placed in their positions and the bridge was to be started around November 2018. Things were going well and looked good. Then the markers disappeared and on talking with some of the planners, it was cancelled due to ‘lack of monies’. I still wonder where the monies went. In 1860 two German brothers pioneered Crystal Creek. Along with others, these two brothers started dairying and the dairy farm is still operating today. There of course was no bridge then and a small space away from today’s bridge was a river crossing called Korns Crossing. Even the Cobb & Co mail coach came across, delivering mail to a small post office near Upper Crystal Creek.

Eventually in time, a sway bridge was built and later came the bridge as we know it today. It was built of solid timber and today sadly the timber is either being eaten or rotting away and seriously in need of great repair. When Cyclone Debbie brought so much floodwater, the bridge was hit by a massive fig tree. The size of the tree was as big as my car. Yet the bridge stands today, complete with massive chains hopefully holding it together. The milk tanker after all these years of picking up the milk can no longer use the bridge and must use the Tyalgum route to come to Crystal Creek. What with so much traffic of all kinds, pushbike riders, motorbike riders, holiday traffic, school and general traffic, the small one-lane bridge did not need this. Yes this vital bridge should be replaced before anyone is killed due to its now dangerous and outdated state, the road becomes more busy each week. Times change, no longer do we use a horse and cart, sway bridges or river crossings, we are in the wonderful year of 2020. In Australia where bushfires have raged, ask yourself: how would our wooden bridges have fared if we were caught in a big bushfire? Please we need a two-lane bridge ASAP. J Birkett, Crystal Creek

New buses are not better

I write this as a very strong protest against the so-called better bus service for the Tweed. As an 81-year-old resident of Flame Tree Park, I am absolutely devastated with what is supposed to be an improved bus service. What a load of rubbish! Since losing my husband 10 years ago, I, along with many others, have become totally dependent on the bus service to take us to the shopping centres, to health facilities, medical appointments etc. We also use the bus service to take a day out. In 2003, we purchase a property in Franklin Street, Flame Tree Park, which backs on to a very nice reserve. Since that time there have been many changes for the better and while we had no bus service, we did have a very smart bus shelter at the end of the street, the existence of which, I might add, was strongly denied by the superior I spoke with at the bus company. The shelter, located at the corner of Franklin Street and Botanical Circuit, is now being used as a pickup and drop off spot for school children only. It was many years later when residents were given the ability of a daily bus, which came along Franklin Street after more years of waiting. The bus shelter finally

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals came into use when a daily on the hour replacement bus service was provided and greatly appreciated. A service which until now was a valuable asset to the estate. Bus number 607 provided excellent service to all residents living in the estate, along the entire length of Botanical Circuit. The new so-called better bus service has completely deprived the residents at the far end of Flame Tree Park of a service which it become a necessity to so many. With reference to the new service, we were not made aware of the information stands at the Tweed Mall and Tweed City . Since ours seem to be the most impacted area, perhaps a letterbox drop might have ensure dthis estate was aware of the proposed changes. Barbara Chisolm, Banora Point

Stop Murwillumbah 5G

For those who live on Hospital Hill or shop in Murwillumbah, here’s your chance to help stop 5G on Hospital Hill. Saturday, January 25, is Global Stop5G Day and thousands of people all over the world will be speaking against 5G. With a hospital just 100m away, over 350 houses, schools, college, library, aquatic centre, youth hostel, civic centre, museum, medical clinics and shops on Main/Nullum Street, all within 500m (the cancer cluster zone), the tower on Karramul Drive has got to be the most inappropriate place for 5G. There has been absolutely no safety testing of 5G anywhere and nobody will insure against harm, even Lloyds of London. Should telcos be experimenting on people without their consent? Not according to the Nuremberg Code. Tens of thousands of independent, peer-reviewed studies link 2G, 3G and 4G to cancer, neurological damage, heart irregularities, thyroid dysfunction and sterility, along with headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, depression etc. But 5G is infinitely worse. Insects are particularly vulnerable to millimetre waves, including bees and underground insects. If the insects disappear our ecosystem collapses and we die too. We all love to have fast and reliable internet/phone but it needs to be safe (fibre optic cables and landlines), not wireless. If you are concerned for the future of our children and the planet, please meet promptly at 12pm in front of Murwillumbah Hospital, Saturday, January 25th. Also please donate to our GoFundMe page Stop 5G Hospital Hill so we can engage Barrister Ray Broomhall to help us. Menkit Prince, Uki

Issue of barking dogs

The letter last week regarding barking dogs is a very frustrating subject for everyone involved, except for the dog owners. Council proves themselves to wash their hands of continual barking dogs. Some councils only require one resident to complain before they will act and others like Tweed require two. You may have neighbours who to your face will tell you that the dogs are driving them nuts also, but when the ranger knocks and they are told they may have to go to court they give in. I think all councils would love to find a solution to this problem but its not going to happen. On a different issue, you would have to wonder why Council allows off-leash dogs on South Kingscliff beach? This is a really popular area for families and others. As a fisher I have seen so many instances of dogs not under control in this area, it makes you ask the question: why not another less popular stretch? Dogs are not allowed in areas close to creek mouths in this shire but Cudgen Creek is not zoned the same way and is a known curlew breeding area. George Kelly, Terranora

Number one not two

Malcolm Richards may have misread my letter on ‘yellow, let it mellow’ (TVW, Jan 16). There are two components to our body wastes: urine and faeces, and I definitely was talking about urine, not faeces. Urine is the prized resource as it contains all the essential elements: Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium. I was suggesting that some people wanting to save on water use might consider urinating into a bucket, diluting it, then giving it to the garden – so the water you flush into your sewer when you urinate could be better used by putting it on your garden. Faeces on the other hand has fewer nutrients and is not what I was suggesting at all. Maybe he is just trying to play devil’s advocate as many people have a ‘yuk’ reaction to one’s own body wastes – which is regrettable, as they can also be seen as a resource. Gayle Russell, Nunderi

Bob Jelly for mayor

Good news for the silent majority. Bob Jelly, that crafty old rogue from Pearl Bay – aka Brunswick Heads, has been relieved of his ‘Seachange’ duties and is looking to travel a bit further north where his entrepreneurial skills can be appreciated. In a selfless gesture of public service and duty, he has decided to throw his hat into the electoral ring of Tweed Shire

Council. Cut the red tape. Cut the green tape and get those bulldozers on the ground. As one-time mayor of Pearl Bay -aka Brunswick Heads, and with negotiating skills honed in the cut and thrust of the real estate world, he has the credentials and the native cunning to get this place going. Sure, he may have a few skeletons in the closet but the world needs more shakers and movers like Bob Jelly, Donald Trump and Boris Johnson – mavericks who are not afraid to bend the rules to get ahead (not personally but for the common good of course). He has said in the past that if local councils won’t approve something then the State Government sure as hell will, and with their recent appalling record of community consultation and foresight, he believes that the sky’s the limit for what he can achieve here. After he’s finished, you won’t recognise the place – literally. His vision will act as a springboard for the Tweed and soon every village main street will resemble Minjungbal Drive and there’ll be nine-storey blocks going up on every scenic escarpment. In tune with the conservative mind, he believes climate change is a hoax because he’s looked at the science and listened to the right 2GB and Murdoch people. Equipped with an arsenal of alternative facts, he’d be able to convince at least one of our local medicos that anti vaxxers have legitimate arguments. And promises? Make them and make the same one again a few months later; like a cool $3.2 million for Kingscliff sports fields. The grass still looks the same to me almost a year and a half later. The promise that keeps on giving. Or completely renege on an iron clad guarantee and then disappear for a while. Maybe Hawaii. Free parking at the new hospital - out the door; a two million dollar feasibility study into light rail from Twin Towns to the airport built largely in Qld - tell ‘em they’re dreamin, but even the Greens fell for that one. Bob would promise to get trains back to Murwillumbah if it would get him a few votes. It’s worked before. So, with the council elections in November, Bob will be well and truly on the campaign trail. Time is of the essence and it is Jelly time now on the Tweed. Mark Baxter, Kingscliff Please note the views on the letters page are that of the letter writer and not of the Tweed Valley Weekly.

Locals rejoice as heavy rain breaks Tyalgum water restrictions By Jonathon Howard TYALGUM RESIDENTS are rejoicing the return of significant rain with more than 180mm received across a wet weekend and more on the horizon. The deluge has resulted in Tweed Shire Council lifting the Level 4 water restrictions imposed on Tyalgum but water carting from the weir remains banned. Clarrie Hall Dam also bounced back from a low of 68.8 per cent full to now more than 80 per cent following the weekend rain. Tyalgum residents have expressed their relief to The Weekly on Tuesday, January 21, with water restrictions lifted and the newly refurbished village weir. Works were carried out at the Tyalgum weir during the dry period with residents proving they are among the leanest water users in the Tweed Shire. Council started work to get the Tyalgum Water Treatment Plant back online on Monday, January 20, as the newly refurbished weir is now full. The Weekly met with Tyalgum residents and Council’s Manager

Tyalgum weir works by Council have been praised by locals

of Water and Wastewater, Anthony Burnham, alongside Council’s Engineer for Water Efficiency, Elizabeth Seidl. Ms Seidl said she was relieved to have seen almost 180mm of rain. “I want to really acknowledge the efforts of Tyalgum residents in conserving every drop,” she said. Ms Seidl said recent water usage levels at Tyaglum had gone from 196 litres per person per day in November 2019, to 125 litres per person per day from December 2019. “This was a great result from the Tyalgum residents, among the best in the Tweed,” she said. “There were also a number of works carried out during the dry spell including removal or silt and restoring the weir pool, bank stabilisation, cleaned out and repaired the river filter and additional tree planting and fencing.” Mr Burnham also praised Tyalgum residents for their frugalness with water usage. “It was the biggest reduction in water usage across the entire Tweed Shire,” he said. “Following the weekend rain and more forecast, I believe it’s unlikely that Tyalgum will be imposed with water restrictions until possibly late September or October 2020.” “We are working to lift all water restrictions in Tyalgum,” he said. “But the restriction on carting water from that supply will remain in force.” Council had been delivering water to Tyalgum from the main town water supply since early November

Tweed Shire Council staff and Tyalgum residents were jumping for joy following heavy rain at the weekend

after the village weir level fell very low and the quality of the raw water was no longer suitable for treatment. Tyalgum resident Solar Chapel said the lifting of the water restrictions came earlier than expected and is a “huge relief”. “Residents did really well during the restrictions,” he said. “We were strongly supported by Council and it was a great effort by the council to fix the weir.” Tyalgum local Peter Bennett said it was the worst drought he’s seen in Tyalgum for the past 13 years. “The community response to the restrictions have been astounding,” he said. “Council is also to be applauded for the dredge and rehabilitation of the weir.” Mr Burnham has been with Council for 31 years and said 2002

and 2003 were significant droughts when compared to the most recent. Another Tyalgum local Mic Julien said he relies on the creek for water but resorted to buying drinking water. “We significantly dropped our water usage by stopping our pumping from the creek combined with purchasing a tanker of water which was around 16,000 liters,” he said. “My rainwater tanks are now brimming. “I think the council should be applauded for moving quickly to make a decision and getting the agreements to dig out the weir and did an amazing job.” Across the rest of the Tweed Shire, Level 2 Water Restrictions will remain in effect but the move to Level 3 Restrictions has been delayed by more than 11 weeks.

Mr Burnham said falls of up to 180mm in the catchment have given us the reprieve “we so badly wanted”. “But we are not out of the woods yet and need good follow-up rain to fill Clarrie Hall Dam,” he said. “With the height of the Tweed River now at 1.2 metres at Bray Park Weir, we are no longer reliant on releases from the dam to supply drinking water to the community. “But the rain in the catchment has now stopped and there is no more forecast for this coming week so we are still looking at life under Level 2 water restrictions for some time yet.” Mr Burnham said that further rains should deliver greater run-off into the dam and waterways as the thirsty soils would have soaked up much of the weekend rain.

Drivers risk life and limb by crossing floodwaters

By Jo Kennett

DESPITE TWEED Police warning drivers repeatedly n o t t o d r i v e t h ro u g h floodwaters, drivers were still risking their lives and those of emergency service staff by crossing d a n g e ro u s l y f l o o d e d roads during the weekend downpour.

At Clothiers Creek one farmer reported driving home from Murwillumbah around 11.30pm on Sunday, January 19, and discovering the road flooded from east of the Madura Tea Estate factory right back to the fruit stall on the western side a distance of over 200 metres. “There were floods of water coming down Farrants Hill

• Two-Way Radio Sales • Mobile Phone Kits • Installation • Repairs

and we got as far as the bridge and there were waves going over it, we couldn’t get through,” the man, who didn’t want to be named, said. “We went all the way back up the highway and came in the other end (of Clothiers Creek Road). “It was flooded at Yandala, where the old school was, but we could just get through. Another farmer said there were people “stupidly” driving through the flooded creek. “It moves at a high velocity along that road and goes over in front of the tea plantation,’ he said. “They were crazy to drive through it. They could have easily got washed into the creek.” Tweed District Rescue President Drew Carr said his squad had call outs from

around 7.30am on Saturday, January 18, when the rain intensified. “We had had two jobs but it happened very quickly, and the water also receded very quickly,’ he said. “On Saturday morning some people have driven through water and they decided to ignore the, “if it’s flooded forget it message” and inevitably got stuck. “There was a third one where people found themselves stuck between two flooded causeways on Rowlands Creek Rd. “They decided it was too risky to drive through the causeway and proceeded to call for help. “When we arrived, we were pleased to see they hadn’t attempted to cross the causeway due to the swift

moving water.” Mr Carr said the Rescue Squad helped to move the vehicle to higher ground before using swift water techniques to escort them safely across the causeway. “ We a l s o h a d s o m e downstream safety setups just in case anything went wrong,” he said. “I’d like to sincerely thank the Uki Rural Fire Service for attending to traffic control. “ I ’d l i ke t o m e n t i o n Murwillumbah SES for assisting in the operation and Tweed Byron Police. “Inspector Bobbie Cullen attended to ensure that everyone was safe.” Mr Carr said motorists were driving in the rain “as if it was drought conditions”. “People weren’t slowing down or using their

headlights,” he said. “When people hit the water on the road it was creating hazardous and dangerous situations. “I’d like to ask to ask people to adjust your driving to suit the conditions, use your headlights, slow down and watch out for big puddles laying in depressions in the asphalt.” Tweed Police Inspector Bobbie Cullen said there were no injuries but there were too many cars driving through flooded roads. “We would just remind people to not go through floodwaters because it’s too dangerous and puts their own lives and the lives of emergency service workers at risk.”

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

In brief ... Help animals and the homeless There’s still time to donate to the annual Mayoral Christmas/New Year Appeal. This year’s appeal supports three organisations: Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers and the wonderful work they do with fire-affected animals; and homelessness support organisations, Fred’s Place and You Have a Friend.

Vandals strike at Knox Park upgrade The new toilet block at Murwillumbah Knox Park has been graffitied, newly-planted feature trees have been snapped in half and anti-skate features have been hacked from concrete walls. Council’s Acting Manager, Parks and Active Communities Murray Smith said vandalism at Knox Park had backed off in recent years, however these school holidays has seen an escalation of the problem. “This is such a shame, as the money to repair the vandalism has to come out of funds set aside to build either a new playground or from funds to upgrade the park furniture,” Mr Smith said. “One of these upgrades will now have to wait, disadvantaging the public who are yet to enjoy these facilities. “Council spends more than $100,000 annually on park facilities which are often the target of vandalism.

An aerial view of the upgraded Tyalgum weir pool.

Much needed upgrade for Tyalgum weir pool Council has taken advantage of the current drought and Level 4 water restrictions in Tyalgum to upgrade the village weir pool. Council stopped taking raw water from the weir in late November when both the water level and water quality dropped too low to be relied on for drinking water. Urgent approval was then sought to undertake improvement and essential maintenance works. Workers dug 1.5 metres of silt out of the bottom of the weir, restoring the weir pool to its original footprint. They stabilised the weir banks with rocks to prevent further erosion around the extraction inlet structure and to the adjacent land. The intake filter was cleaned out and repaired and the filter

media upgraded. The work has increased the holding capacity of the weir pool and improved raw water quality. It also has provided relief for aquatic life struggling to survive in the stagnant pool under drought conditions. This year, Council will put up more fencing around the weir and plant more trees to prevent cattle accessing the weir pool, in agreement with the adjoining landowner. Following the weekend’s heavy rain, the weir is now full. Tyalgum residents can expect all water restrictions to be lifted by the end of the week but ask that they conserve water until notified that restrictions are lifted.

Level 2 restrictions to remain in place The introduction of Level 3 restrictions has been delayed by at least 10 weeks, following significant rainfall across the catchment over the weekend. Council’s Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said while that is welcome news, Level 2 water restrictions remain in place across the Tweed. Tyalgum still remained on Level 4 as the Tweed Link went to print however restrictions in the village were likely to be lifted in the next few days. The level of Clarrie Hall Dam sits at 79 per cent (as at Monday 20 January), up from 68.8 per cent last Friday. “The dam needs to get to 95 per cent for Level 2 to be lifted and we would need to receive substantial follow-up rain to get to this level,” Mr Burnham said. “To lift water restrictions, we need in the order of 700–900mm over a few months – and the outlook for that remains poor. “The good news is that even without more rain, the introduction of Level 3 restrictions can now be delayed by at least 10 weeks.” Level 3 restrictions were due to start on 3 February and Level 4 on 28 February.

“Rainfall in the catchment will now have more benefit than previously as less will be soaked up by the very dry soil conditions,” Mr Burnham said. “We’re asking everyone to keep up the great work you’ve all been doing to save water, as Level 2 restrictions require water use of just 144 litres per person per day. “I urge all residents and businesses to fully support water restrictions now to make our limited water supply last as long as possible.” Under Level 2 restrictions we all need to save 50 litres of water a day, which is five household plastic buckets each; or, for a family of four, a standard bathtub filled to the brim. Level 3 restrictions will be implemented if the dam reaches around 65 per cent capacity. Under Level 3 restrictions we all need to save 60 litres of water a day, which is six household plastic buckets. Level 4 restrictions will be implemented if the dam reaches around 60 per cent capacity. Under Level 4 we all need to save 70 litres of water a day per person, or seven household plastic buckets each.

Land swap protects businesses from flooding Seven local businesses have been endorsed for Tweed Shire Council’s Industry Central Land Swap Project and are likely to be permanently relocating their operations out of the flood-prone area. In 2017 ex-tropical cyclone Debbie caused major flooding throughout the Tweed with many businesses severely affected. Council developed a strategy and purchased 14.02 hectares of flood-free land at Industry Central, Murwillumbah, thanks to funding from the NSW Government to create resilience and protect local jobs. Following a rigorous third-party assessment, Council voted unanimously at the November 2019 Council meeting to endorse seven local organisations to sign up to the arrangement. The successful applicants are all long-term local businesses including: • 30 Marine Parade Pty Ltd • All Home Products and Improvements • JH & EJ Williams Pty Ltd • Mick Bourke Transport • Murwillumbah Truck Centre • North Commercial Pty Ltd (Hayes Steel) • O’Connors Transport Murwillumbah Tweed Shire Council will also be relocating its Council Depot, where extensive machinery and equipment was damaged in the flood in 2017.

From chalking tyres to new technology Tweed Shire Council will introduce a parking enforcement vehicle equipped with intelligent parking technology this year, making significant improvements to the way Council monitors and enforces parking restrictions within the Tweed. Mapping of the parking assets within the Tweed has begun, so that the parking enforcement vehicle will be able to identify the type of parking permitted by location, the length of time permitted by location, as well as school zones, no parking zones, no stopping zones, taxi and commercial vehicle zones. Council’s Director Planning and Regulation Vince Connell said the benefit to the community would be improved access to timed parking spaces throughout the Shire. “This includes key business areas in Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Kingscliff and Bogangar/Cabarita Beach, as well as in school zones where unrestricted short term access for parents setting down or collecting their children is one of our primary safety concerns,” Mr Connell said. The parking enforcement vehicle will use licence plate recognition technology to detect vehicles that have overstayed a timed parking zone and to identify vehicles that are parked illegally in areas such as ‘no stopping’ zones. Over the coming months, Council will continue to provide further information about the vehicle’s introduction, including the dates when on-road trials will commence. During the trial, no enforcement action will be taken where the parking enforcement vehicle detects an offence. However, Council Rangers will continue to conduct foot patrols to monitor and enforce parking restrictions within the Tweed and enforcement action will continue to be taken during the vehicle trial period.

Security guard assaulted

A SECURITY guard was assaulted in Knox Park in the early hours of Wednesday, January 15. Tweed Police said at around 1am, the 63-year-old security guard was locking the toilet doors at Knox Park when he was approached by two young men and a young woman. One man approached the security guard and had a verbal argument with him while he was seated in his vehicle. The man then pushed the security guard through an open window before taking off his glasses that were on top of his head and throwing them onto the grass. The man then walked off. Police have obtained CCTV footage of the incident and are continuing the investigation to identify the people involved.

Garage fire Tweed Heads

FIREFIGHTERS EXTINGUISHED a small fire in a garage in Tweed Heads on Friday, January 17. Police said they were called to a block of units at Kennedy Drive around 2am following reports of a fire. On arrival officers found a rug in the garage area of the unit alight. Police said two adults in one of the units woke to the smell of smoke coming from the garage area. The resident went to the garage where he saw smoke coming from a rug which was situated near a couch on the western wall of the garage. The man collected a nearby gas bottle, woke his children and he and his family left the premises. Firefighters were able to put the fire out with no injuries reported. Police found drug paraphernalia in the garage near where the fire broke out. The fire is not considered suspicious and no one was injured.

Locals fuming after three cars stolen By Jo Kennett TWEED POLICE are investigating fraud offences and the theft of three vehicles on Wednesday, January 15, in the Tweed Shire, with one vehicle already recovered on the Gold Coast. Tweed Police said they are investigating the theft of a 2014 white Volkswagen Golf Hatch from Cypress Crescent, Cabarita Beach between 7am and 8.20am. Police said at 8.10am, key cards stolen from inside the VW Golf Hatch were used at Coles Casuarina to purchase items. The number plates for the white VW Golf were left at Casuarina Beach after number plates were stolen from a similar looking car. Police believe stolen number plates 840YWH (Qld) are now attached to the VW Golf Hatch. A white Holden Commodore was also stolen between 7.30am and 10am that morning from Marine Parade, Kingscliff, but was recovered later. Tabetha Whitby Kleeman said the vehicle, which belonged to her husband, had been found at Bermuda Street,

The Nissan ute stolen from Tweed Heads

Broadbeach Waters, on the Gold Coast, on Friday, January 17. “It had been involved in an accident and the people who stole the car had done a runner,” she said. Police released the vehicle to the owner on Wednesday, January 22, after investigating the theft. Ms Whitby Kleeman said they lived in Tweed Heads South, but her husband had gone for a surf at Kingscliff, parking on the corner of Marine Parade and Wommin Bay Road between 7.30am and 10am on Wednesday, January 15. “When he came back, the car was gone,” she said. “He was out surfing with a friend who got out first and came to find him to tell him the car was gone. He didn’t believe him. “My hubby works at Molendinar but luckily he was on holidays. There was about $2,500 worth of gear in the car. “We found the phone (the day it was stolen). It was at an Elanora car park but they turned it off so it couldn’t be traced. “There are key tags you can get that you glue into the lining of the car and they are trackable. People put them on their keys in case they lose them, but you can hide them in the car.” Another vehicle was stolen between 10.30pm and 12.45am on Wednesday, January 15, from Lorikeet Drive, Tweed Heads. The stolen vehicle, a 1993 white Nissan utility, NSW registration CM29CV, was last seen on CCTV footage travelling east along Dry Dock Road towards Minjungbal Drive just before 1am.

Cigarette tossers to lose points

PEOPLE CAUGHT tossing lit cigarettes out of cars will lose five demerit points and could also be fined up to $11,000 under new legislation. The law, which came into force on January 17, will see motorists caught tossing a lit cigarette penalised five demerit points. It is the first time a demerit point penalty has been imposed on this type of offence. If a motorist commits the offence during a total fire ban, the penalty will double to 10 demerit points and a fine of up to $11,000. Penalties will also apply to passengers caught tossing a lit cigarette on or near the road. They will be fined $660 and that will double during total fire bans. In 2019, more than 200 people were caught tossing lit cigarettes out of a vehicle in NSW.

Fish kill follows rain event

By Jonathon Howard WEEKEND RAIN appears to have triggered a fish kill in the Tweed River Estuary around Murwillumbah on Tuesday, January 21. Several residents contacted The Weekly to express their concern with the fish kill and several locals are calling for answers as to how the event has occured. One local, who preferred not to be named, estimated the number of fish was near a 1,000 including fish and turtles. However, Council officers inspected the waterway and found “200 to 300” dead fish on the water’s surface between Condong and the Commercial Road boat ramp in Murwillumbah. Council’s Waterways Program Leader Tom Alletson said the affected species included bream, whiting and gar. “Preliminary water quality testing by Council has shown that dissolved oxygen levels and pH is low in the river,” Mr Alletson said.

“We believe that runoff from floodplain areas affected by acid sulfate soil is the most likely cause of the fish kill.” Council said acid sulfate soil is a naturally occurring type of soil found extensively in low lying areas of the Tweed River floodplain, and across vast areas of the east coast of Australia. When exposed to oxygen, the mineral pyrite which is found in these soils reacts to form sulphuric acid. “After periods of prolonged drought when the ground water table is low and acid sulfate soils become exposed to the air, more acid is formed,” Mr Alletson said. “When a large downpour flushes this acid into the river, it is common for fish kills to occur.” For more information about acid sulfate soils and the effects on aquatic life, visit https:// www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/habitat/threats/ acid-sulfate-soils

By Jonathon Howard THE KINGSCOAST development at Cudgen is reporting strong sales for land parcels with 90 per cent of the sites now sold and plenty of local buyers. The sales results were announced as the face of Cudgen begins to change from a sleeping farming community to a vibrant new community with businesses such as Red Earth Brewery and Farm & Co already established. Land currently for sale at Kingscoast is priced from $381,000 to $472,000 for home sites between 450 and 681 square metres. Kingscoast sales agent Rachael Ford said the estate of 112 home sites has attracted all sectors of the market. “We have empty nester couples downsizing from larger homes, first home buyers, young families. It’s a good eclectic mix,” she said. Mrs Ford said most buyers are from either the Tweed Coast or Southern Gold Coast with 15 per cent of buyers from Kingscliff. “For many locals Casuarina and Kingscliff prices are beyond reach now,” she said. Cudgen resident Belinda Buttler is moving down the road to Kingscoast with her husband Sean and two children.

“We don’t want to leave Cudgen as it’s such a beautiful place,” she said. Two family members of Sean’s including a cousin and a nephew followed the Buttlers and purchased at Kingscoast as well. “There’s not going to be any other land in this area this close to the coastline,” Sean said. “The home sites are flat whereas other land around is hilly, so it costs a lot more to build when you factor in design and excavation. “We were originally going to rent out our Kingscoast home but decided to build our dream home and move in instead.” Kaya and Brett Whiltshire are building a five-bedroom home within the community for their family of six. “We looked everywhere,” Kaya said. “We were going to purchase at Terranora when we just happened to stumble across Kingscoast. “My husband is working away 19 days at a time for us to be able to afford our own home so we really value every dollar. “Having said that, it was the community spirit that sold us in the end. It’s just such a wonderful area. Kingscoast is not far from Kingscliff but you can still feel that country life. “There are horses around, it’s perfect for our family.”

By Megan Albany LOCAL ABORIGINAL, Torres Strait and South Sea Islander communities will come together at the Old Fingal Boat Harbour on Sunday, January 26, from 10am to 2pm to celebrate their culture. The gathering will take place on Australia Day, a day that many First Nations communities refer to as Survival Day or Invasion Day. The barbecue at Fingal is being used as a way to mark the survival of the ongoing traditions and Indigenous cultures in our region, with organisers saying it is a chance for the local mob to come together with family and friends to share their journey of strengthening their community together. The event is promoted as an opportunity to connect and has been organised by local Aboriginal workers and community with a focus on strengthening the community into the future. Byron Shire Council now holds the majority of its’ Australia Day celebrations on January 25 in recognition of the anxiety this date can cause to many First Nations people. Australia Day is a relatively new celebration and was first established as a national holiday in 1994. There is now a burgeoning movement to change the date so that all Australians can celebrate together. Supporters of this movement have proposed a number of alternative dates including May 27, which marks the 1967 referendum in which 90 per cent of Australians voted to amend the constitution to allow Indigenous Australians to be included in the national census. May 27 is also currently Reconciliation Day in the ACT. Organisers of the Fingal event will provide meat for the barbecue as well as soft drinks and those who play an instrument are invited to bring it along on the day, as well as a plate to share, a chair and a flag. The event is a drug and alcohol free event.

Showriding Championships have been postponed THE PONY Club Association of NSW has postponed the running of the 2020 State Showriding Championships until the weekend of July 10, 11 and 12.

Phone ban to roll out in Tweed primary schools Too much screen time for Tweed children By Jo Kennett A BAN on mobile phones in Tweed Shire primary schools will begin to be implemented at the start of Term 1 on Tuesday, January 28, with some controversy surrounding the ban. The phone ban was originally announced in 2018 in response to an expert review led by child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg and is designed to combat online bullying and distractions in the classroom. A government spokesperson told The Weekly there would be a phasing in of the ban with the full ban coming into effect by the end of 2020. Tweed high schools will have the choice of opting in on the ban as well or making up their own rules regarding mobile phone usage at high school. A spokesperson for the NSW Department of Education said The Student Use of Digital Devices and Online Services policy will be progressively implemented in NSW public schools from day one of Term 1, this year. “As part of this policy, primary schools will be working with their school communities to ban mobile phones by the end of 2020,” the spokesperson said. “The new policy covers student use of all digital technology and online services in

schools, not just mobile phones, and focuses on equipping students to be safe, responsible and respectful technology users. “Extensive consultation was undertaken as part of the policy development, with one component being a voluntary pilot program in which 22 public primary schools successfully participated. “The Department has produced and will continue to develop resources required to support schools and their communities from the start of 2020. “These resources will reflect feedback from teachers, parents and communities as they implement the policy. “It is up to individual schools how they go about it.” Specsavers Tweed City Optometrist Tri Nguyen said he agreed with the ban. “It’s been enforced in Japan and Singapore for young children up to around the age of 12,” he said. “I think it helps change the culture. Mr Nguyen said that too much screen time can cause irreversible eye damage. “That can affect schooling because if students can’t see the board, they will have emotional issues, they can get angry and frustrated,” he said.

Tweed Shire primary school students will have to leave their phones at home in 2020

“Some schools are doing eye screening to try to pick it up early, but parents need to realise it can become a problem,” Mr Nguyen said. “Teachers can also help by picking up on it and relaying it to parents if they think there may be an eyesight problem. “We have had a few cases, most commonly presenting with a headache at the end of the day. Another cue is squinting and eye rubbing, a fall in grades. “These can all be signs of vision problems that need checking. “What is recommended is that every 20 minutes, people have a 20 second break looking 20 metres away and beyond, to maintain 2020 vision. “It sounds corny, but it works.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe children spend too much time on screens?

By Jo Kennett NEW RESEARCH shows that Tweed children are spending more than twice the screen time recommended by the World Health Organisation. The research shows that NSW children spend an average of 2.6 hours on screens each day, with 14 per cent, spending more than four hours glued to their screens. The findings were part of a research project by Specsavers optometrists designed to better understand screen use among children and parental understanding of their children’s eye health. Specsavers Tweed City Optometrist Tri Nguyen said he understood how strong the pull of digital screens is for children. “I also know that the way children learn, and play is drastically changing as technology becomes increasingly incorporated into everyday life,” he said. “It’s no surprise that 91 per cent of NSW parents say digital screen time is top of the list for their children’s health concerns. “But what is surprising for many is that when it comes to eye health, the biggest problem with screen time has nothing to do with the actual screens. “It’s simply the fact that normally when kids are on screens like phones and computers, there is a lot of near vision work that is often indoors without natural light. “That’s the part that’s bad for your eyes. So other near vision, inside work like homework and reading can have a similar negative effect on the eye. “We can observe the shift with myopia where there is a huge percentage of kids, about 85 per cent up to age 15 where, because of screen time they are becoming more and more shortsighted. That is irreversible.” Mr Nguyen said that apart from vision problems it affects schooling “because they can’t see the board and so they will have emotional issues, they can get angry and frustrated”.

Tumbulgum group remains concerned with Dulguigan Road

By Jonathon Howard MEMBERS OF the Tumbulgum Community Association remain concerned with the safety and use of Dulguigan Road following a vote by Tweed Shire Councillors in late 2019 to renew trucking permits on the regional road. The Weekly reported in its December 26 edition that the carried motion had brought relief to several Dulguigan Road users, including quarry truck operators, who had been awaiting a ruling on the permits. Tu m b u l g u m C o m m u n i t y Association president, Jennifer Kidd, said she wanted to make it clear that the member’s road safety concerns were not “alleged” as reported, but “well founded and based on evidence”. Mrs Kidd said she wanted to outline several areas of concern including a truck rollover several years ago and that Council’s traffic data had identified “50 per cent of heavy vehicles exceeded the speed limit on Dulguigan Road”. “I want to make it clear that our association is not against the trucking or quarry operations on Dulguigan Road,” she said. “Instead we just want to keep Dulguigan Road safe for all users and local residents to ensure we avoid a serious accident.” The association is calling for a bridge to be developed across the Rous River in order to connect trucks directly to Tweed Valley Way, possibly via Quans Lane or Racecourse Road.

Mrs Kidd said the association has also raised concerns with the Dulguigan Road study. “When following up concerns, we became aware that a road study, required under National Heavy Vehicle legislation, was not undertaken by the Tweed Shire Council before initially granting access for the first of these vehicles to this road,” Mrs Kidd said. “A subsequent Heavy Vehicle Route Assessment (HVRA) undertaken for Council by consultants RoadNet Pty Ltd and presented at its meeting in April 2019, identified eight risks, including four that were high risk.” Mrs Kidd said the association wanted to also highlight that roadworks have resulted in damage to trees separating Dulguigan Road from the river and many parts of the road fail to reach the required 8.7-metre width requirement. But among the biggest concerns for the association was “continuing to observe trucks and other vehicles crossing the centre double lines”. Mrs Kidd said the association has both photos and videos demonstrating their concerns. “An addendum to the HVRA produced after the consultant met with two councillors, Council officers and some stakeholders (quarry management and haulier representatives) resulted in the four high risk areas being downgraded to medium,” she said. “The changes rely on improved driver behaviour and North Tumbulgum Quarry protocols, described by Council Staff as “soft engineering”.

Tumbulgum Community Association member Steve Smith and President Jennifer Kidd on Dulguigan Road

“Evidence shows such reliance is the least effective of road safety controls. “In the past, the quarry operator has told community representatives that they cannot control driver behaviour once they leave the quarry. “When our association was finally provided with an opportunity to meet with Council staff and a RoadNet consultant on December 11, it was apparent that the report was incomplete and based on a low activity rate. “There is currently no daily limit on the number of truck loads that can be taken from the quarry. “There is no proposal to upgrade the overall carriage width - identified as high risk in the original HVRA report. “Plans for changes at the Hogans Road Intersection and Mayes Hill curves are still in the formative stage, and hence not fully costed, and not planned to be undertaken until after April 2020.” Mrs Kidd said the community expects Tweed Shire Councillors

to prioritise community safety and encourage strategic road planning to allow efficient use of ratepayer’s funds. “Both will benefit the commercial interests of local businesses including the quarry and hauliers and safety of their drivers,” she said. “Truckers may breathe a sigh of relief, but the community will continue to hold its breath and hope that a tragedy is avoided when it comes to travelling along Dulguigan Road.” Tweed Valley trucking business Col Moore & Sons director Rob Moore, who operates quarry trucks on Dulguigan Road, said he believes the industry is operating within its rights and that the permits are a vital tool to continuing business in the Tweed Valley. “The end result from the Council meeting was a majority vote from councillors,” he said. “I would also note that all the safety requirements were addressed prior to the Council vote and the industry remains committed to

the safety of all motorists using Dulguigan Road.” Mr Moore said he understood the concerns from the Tumbulgum Community Association but wanted to also stress the industry had come under intense scrutiny during the past nine months due to studies and other requirements. “All safety issues raised during this past nine months have been addressed and the industry remains committed to working both with council and the community to ensure the highest safety, as well as vital local employment,” he said “These vehicles have been proven to have the latest technology in safety features and lower exhaust emissions. “They can legally cart larger loads which results in less truck movements on Dulguigan Road and causes no more damage to road pavement.”

Climate Crisis!

Your House is on FIRE!

For years we have ignored the warnings of science telling us that global warming caused by human activity is the largest pending threat to civilisation, the environment and ultimately life on Earth. Lack of action or political will to arrest this pending catastrophe has resulted in the arrival of irreversible tipping points in our climate system. What is a tipping point? Imagine your mate forgot to put the handbrake on in his car and it starts to roll very slowly down the driveway. No worries, he can walk over and jump in and stop it any time. However he waits to see if it will stop by itself, because gravity is not real, just a theory made up by greenies. Eventually it picks up speed on the steep part of the driveway. Suddenly you know he cannot run fast enough to stop his car and it rolls into the path of a truck and explodes into flames. The tipping point became inevitable the moment your mate could no longer stop the car. Yet there was a time lapse between this realisation and when it hit the truck. That is where we are now in our climate emergency. We may slow the car but it will definitely hit the truck. In Nature tipping points occur just as dramatically. Once the ocean heats over 2 °C, all the coral dies. Bangaladesh and Florida will have to be evacuated because of rising sea levels. Australia will experience temperatures regularly above 50 °C and the mass extinction of plants and animals will happen because of uncontrollable fires. You’ve seen the damage already this year.

By Jo Kennett IT’S THE start of a new year and for school leavers the time to consider career options, with free traineeships and apprenticeships at TAFE NSW Kingscliff and Murwillumbah up for grabs. TAFE Kingscliff and Murwillumbah have been running InfoFests this week, from January 20-24, and TAFE NSW Regional General Manager, Marie Larkings, said she wanted to encouraging school leavers to consider studying at Tafe as a path to that dream career. Ms Larkings said that considering the announcement of fee-free traineeships and apprenticeships by the NSW Government together with Smart and Skilled funding, there has never been a better time to consider vocational education and training options. “Courses for nine of the ten most in-demand jobs are already being delivered by TAFE NSW,” she said. “Industries across the state, such as construction, nursing and hospitality, are experiencing skills shortages, which means that now is the time for people to get the qualifications they need for the job they want.

“With entry level courses to bachelor degrees in areas such as early childhood education, information technology and business, choosing TAFE NSW is an obvious choice for people looking to secure their first job, win a promotion or endeavour on a career change. “TAFE NSW students are in high demand because of the quality of their education and ability to hit the ground running with the jobready skills that employers are looking for”. Ms Larkings said that visitors to local and online information sessions and campus tours during InfoFest will learn more about how studying one of over 1,200 courses at TAFE NSW can turbocharge their career. A number of campus tours are still available on Thursday, January 23 and Friday, January 24, at TAFE NSW Kingscliff and prospective students are urged to go online and see what courses are available to take that next big step in life.

Tweed Coast Beaches Collective ready for business Plenty of ways to celebrate By Jonathon Howard THE TWEED Shire’s most recently established business chamber, Tweed Coast Beaches Business Collective (TCB), is gearing up for another busy year of promoting coastal businesses and growing its membership base. Launched in mid-2019, TCB has already gained 60 local business members with a busy year ahead for the fledgling business chamber. TCB Business Collective will meet for the first time in 2020 at the Cabarita Beach Surf Life Saving Club on Tuesday, February 11, from 6pm. The meeting will be attended by Kym Kranen representing Tweed Shire Council and Brad Nardi, representing Tweed Tourism Co, who will present an economic and tourism overview for the coming year and discuss the potential effects on local TCB businesses. TCB president Simone Millar said TCB was eager to get started. “We’re really excited to be back for our first meeting and if you’re in business on the Tweed Coast then please contact us and get your networking started,” she said. Cabarita Beach Barber owner and TCB membership manager, Rob Irving, said it’s been amazing how quickly TCB has evolved and taken shape. “It’s a great group of local business people,” he said. “I’d really like to encourage other local business owners and operators to get in touch and start networking.” TCB vice president Meagan Kruger said TCB was eager to welcome current and future members to the vibrant team. “Benefits range from networking, business support and topical speakers presenting on issues relevant to our business community,” she said.

“Also, we have just distributed a short survey to our members, in that, we’re asking members for feedback on what they see as the top three issues affecting their business and feedback/suggestions on topics for meetings for the rest of the year.” Mrs Kruger said TCB is a membershipbased organisation and strives to deliver the best results to members. “As a board, one of our jobs is to ensure we are delivering current, relevant and engaging content to our members,” she said. “This in turn will help us to deliver on our purpose, vision and mission. “

Miss Millar said the mission statement for TCB, which also stands for Taking Care of Business, is to empower Tweed Coast Beaches businesses on their growth journey through delivering on our core values of knowledge sharing, connection and collaboration, sustainable growth, supporting locals and advocating for business.” You can contact TCB via email on: tcbbusinesscollective@gmail. com or follow them on Facebook (@ tcbbusinesscollective) to remain abreast of local business issues and networking events and functions.

Kingscliff Farmer’s Market eager to relocate Land swap on track

By Jo Kennett ORGANISERS ARE hoping to secure a new location for the Kingscliff Farmer’s Market, which is set to shut down at the Kingscliff TAFE site with the final market to be held this Saturday, January 25. The Kingscliff Farmers Markets had been running for almost three years and first opened in March 2017. Market managers said the decision came after the TAFE’s leasing department increased the rent making it “impossible” to continue. Kingscliff Farmer’s Market coordinator Gabby McGuren said the TAFE Sydney leasing department had also put a range of new conditions on the lease. “We engaged a commercial solicitor to deal on our behalf and it is just not viable under their terms and conditions,” Ms McGuren told The Weekly. “There were quite a few different parts like exit clauses that don’t suit us, and it is non-negotiable. “It came as a shock to a lot of people and we have had a lot of feedback.” Ms McGuren said it was stallholders and the community that will miss out. “Kingscliff Tafe has been brilliant,” she said. “They have been an amazing host and need to be congratulated. “They have gone above and beyond and we really appreciate it.” TAFE NSW said a new licence agreement based on a market valuation was put forward to the operators of the business, consistent with other licence agreements to which NSW TAFE is a party. “The market owners advised the terms were not acceptable in January 2020

Kingscliﬀ Farmer’s Market is wrapping up at the TAFE site and are looking to relocate

and, as a result, have elected to close the business,” a TAFE spokesperson told The Weekly. Ms McGuren said they were trying to find other suitable locations, “but they will have to be deemed appropriate by Tweed Shire Council”. “You have to put in a development application and that won’t happen in a week,” she said. “We have had quite a few suggestions and we have to look into all avenues - it needs parking and electricity for those stallholders that require it like butchers. “Once we find a spot then it must go to Council, then if it works in our favour we will relocate. Ms McGuren said the markets brought “a whole new dynamic to a community”. “It’s supportive of local farmers and famers like having them in the area,” she said.

“It’s a variety of different producers that benefit and a lot of customers like that interaction with the producers. “They like to know where their food is coming from as consumers.” Ms McGuren said all the stallholders wanted the markets relocated. “We are a team; we are all in this together and we will do everything we can to ensure the success of what we have remains,” she said. “We’d love to see people come along for our last market at Kingscliff TAFE. “It will take a bit of time to move but hopefully we will be able to negotiate a new site in the near future.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Where would you like to see the Kingscliff Farmer’s Market relocated to? Send your thoughts and letters to editor@theweekly.net.au

SEVEN LOCAL businesses have been endorsed for Tweed Shire Council’s Industry Central Land Swap Project and are likely to be permanently relocating their operations out of the flood prone area. In 2017 ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie caused major flooding throughout the Tweed with many businesses severely affected. Tweed Shire Council developed a strategy and purchased 14.02 hectares of flood-free land at Industry Central, Murwillumbah, thanks to funding from the NSW Government to create resilience and protect local jobs. The award-winning initiative allowed eligible landowners to enter an expression of interest process to swap their floodprone land with Council-owned, flood-free land. Following a rigorous third-party assessment, Council has voted unanimously at the November 2019 Council meeting to endorse eight local organisations to sign up to the arrangement. The successful applicants are all long-term local businesses including: 1. 30 Marine Parade Pty Ltd 2. All Home Products and Improvements 3. JH & EJ Williams Pty Ltd 4. Mick Bourke Transport 5. Murwillumbah Truck Centre 6. North Commercial Pty Ltd (Hayes Steel) 7. O’Connors Transport Murwillumbah Tweed Shire Council will also be relocating its Council Depot, where extensive machinery and equipment was damaged in the 2017 Tweed flood. The next phase of the project involves the preparation of allotment allocation plans, execution of Land Exchange Agreement Deeds and the preparation of contracts for sale of land. When this work is complete, Council will commence the task of undertaking the land subdivision. Businesses will have up to 10 years to rebuild and relocate and their former flood-prone land will be ‘back zoned’, most likely for community uses, in order to remove physical impediments from the floodplain. Council’s Acting Manager Land and Economic Development, Ray Musgrave, said hundreds of jobs were heavily impacted by the 2017 flood and this is a step towards protecting those that were most severely affected from future flooding.

Aussie legend Toby Price manages third in first Saudi Arabian Dakar By Jonathon Howard FORMER RALLY champion turned Dakar contestant, Carlos Sainz, has proven he’s still got what it takes behind the wheel after ‘El Matador’ won the first Dakar in Saudi Arabia and his third win in Dakar history on Saturday, January 18. Sainz competed in a X-Raid MINI buggy, almost 6.5 minutes ahead of last year’s victor, Nasser Al-Attiyah of Qatar in a Toyota Hilux, with ‘Monsieur Dakar’ Stephane Peterhansel third in another MINI, almost 10 minutes behind his Spanish teammate. Australian racing legend Toby Price finished third in the bikes and maintained his record of motorcycle podiums at every Dakar he has finished. American Ricky Brabec placed first on the bikes, ending KTM’s 18-year supremacy by triumphing for Honda, with Chilean Pablo Quintanilla second on a Husqvarna. Price, who was 20 minutes behind Brabec, has now had two wins (2016, 2019) and three thirds from six Dakar starts. The event originally was run from Paris to Dakar, the capital of Senegal in Africa, before going to South America for 11 years.

Chuffed at the success of its first edition of the 12-day offroad rally, Saudi Arabia now has its sights on hosting a lot more major motorsport including plans for a Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2023, which was announced as the Dakar concluded at Qiddya, near the country’s capital Riyadh. An elaborate circuit is being built there against the backdrop of a 200-metre sheer cliff and the Saudis want it to be a home to World Endurance Championship sports car racing and MotoGP too. “Qiddya has all it takes to become the motorsport capital of the world,” its track designer, Austrian ex-F1 racer Alex Wurz told Motoring.com.au. Sainz, 57, and father of the McLaren F1 racer of the same name, added his third Dakar victory to two World Rally Championships with Toyota in the 1990s. “It’s been really tight from the first day and we’ve had to push until the end,” Sainz said. “We needed to be at 100 per cent all the time. “It makes the victory even nicer when the battle is so tough. On top of that I win in a third different car (after success with Volkswagen in 2010 and Peugeot in 2018).” Sainz’s countryman, dual F1 world champion Fernando Alonso,

made it to the finish on his Dakar debut, 13th and almost 4 3/4 hours behind in a Toyota. Brabec’s success in the bikes was the first Dakar victory by an American, while his compatriots Casey Currie and Sean Berryman won the side-bayside category on a CanAm.

Chilean Ignacio Casale claimed his third Dakar quad title on a Yamaha, while Russia extended its truck dominance, with Kamaz following up on its 11 victories in South America with another first and second by Andrey Karginov and Anton Shibalov. Australian Price’s latest motorcycle podium came after

two stage wins but the death of his Portuguese mate Paulo Goncalves on the seventh day. “It’s not the result we came for, but with the two weeks we’ve had I’m quite happy to keep my podium streak going,” Price said. “Now we’re going to regroup for 2021. “I’ll be back, looking to get the No.1 plate again.”

Dirt bike and scooter sales strong

AUSTRALIANS STILL love their motorcycles, especially off-road bikes, which have regained the status as the most popular motorcycles in 2019, according to the latest reports by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. Motorcycle Market, which includes the ATV and SSV markets, dropped by 6.1 per cent in 2019, with total sales for the full calendar year of 89,199 vehicles. The 2019 market remained relatively steady in terms of its composition; with offroad bikes comprising 38.5 per cent of the market. Road bikes remain a popular choice with a 35.8 per cent share, ATV/SSVs accounted for 20.1 per cent of total sales and scooters again took an increased share of the total sales with 5.6 per cent. Among individual brands, Honda came in at number one with 20,819 sales (23.3 per cent market share), Yamaha in second place with 19,945 sales (22.4 per cent share), Kawasaki in third with 8,962 sales (10.0 per cent share), followed by KTM (7,670 sales and 8.6 per cent), and Suzuki (6,934 sales and 7.8 per cent). Road bike sales nationally reduced by 11.9 per cent on the 2018 result. In this segment, Harley-Davidson finished in first position, ahead of Honda, with Yamaha in third. Husqvarna and KTM were the outstanding performers, with increased sales in 2019 compared with 2018 (+24.2 per cent and +18.3 per cent respectively). In the off-road bike segment, Yamaha was the highest seller, followed by Honda and KTM. Overall, the off-road bike segment suffered a 1.6 per cent fall on its 2018 result with Honda, Husqvarna and Kawasaki as

the only brands to record an increase in offroad sales in 2019. The ATV/SSV segment contracted in its overall share of the total motorcycle market (from 20.6 per cent in 2018 to 20.1 per cent in 2019) and as such, also showed a segment decline (8.5 per cent) for the year. Polaris was the overall 2019 leader with Honda in second place and Yamaha third. Kawasaki was the only brand to post an increase in overall sales for the year. In an ongoing good news story, the scooter segment was again the only segment to show increases. The 2019 result was up by a significant 15.9 per cent, accounting for 5.6 per cent of the overall market (up from 4.6 per cent of total sales in 2018), Honda was the leader, followed by Suzuki, with Vespa in third place.

Harley Davidson’s remains a strong seller in Australia

Vietnamese Lotus

This young local couple Lea and Mateo from Reunion Island in the Caribbean, now living locally, make their sorbet on the spot at the market using a traditional sorbet making machine brought over from the Caribbean Islands. Also great is Loki Chai’s iced chai – have one at the market and take a few bottles with you to enjoy until Loki is back. Or if you want to brave a hot chai in our humid heat then you can do that too. Coming soon: In February we usually see new season Royal Gala apples And black muscat grapes grown by the Costanzo Family. Nothing compares to the crisp texture and sweet flavour of new season apples straight from the family orchard near Stanthorpe, a place so well known for producing the best Royal Gala apples in Australia. Storage tip: Always keep your apples in the fridge – especially in the heat we have been experiencing recently. Every week we have popular local musicians and a wonderful place to gather with friends and family, while enjoying beautiful food, fresh and prepared. What a perfect way

Will from Everest Farm always has the best bananas and he still has his deliciously sweet water melons too. Tallogum Raspberries has raspberries and the occasional bursts of fresh blueberries too as well as packets of their dried blueberries. They have successfully extended the season of both these berries although there are occasional gaps as the bushes recover and reset their fruit. What’s great now you ask?

THERE IS so much to love about eating locally and seasonally and right now we have such amazing seasonal sub-tropical fruit. Our local mangoes, Kensington Pride (formerly known as Bowen), R2E2 and Nam Doc Mai give us a great choice and are superb quality – deliciously sweet and juicy and are available at many of our farm stalls. The Nam Doc Mai mango is a mango cultivar which originated in Thailand and was eaten pickled, salted or dried. It can be used in recipes calling for green papaya. It is the most popular mango variety in Thailand and highly sought after by the Asian community for their green mango salads (similar to a green papaya salad). Here are two links to green mango salad recipes worth trying: www.pennysmenu.com/recipe/ asian-green-mango-salad/ and www.naturalhealthmag.com.au/ nouri…/green-mango-salad Of course it is also delicious fully ripened and eaten as you would any other variety. JRA and Everest Farm stalls still have delightful red papayas – another tropical fruit delight with so many health benefits.

Chinderah booming as development application on display By Jonathon Howard CHINDERAH IS undergoing a popularity boom with locals and visitors flocking to the scenic riverside community and attracting a lot of development interest. Cubby Bakehouse on Chinderah Bay Drive has been a welcome addition in recent years alongside the already iconic Chinderah Tavern and Tweed River Seafoods all offering outstanding food and scenery. Many locals have already heard about the proposed redevelopment of the Chinderah Tavern with a staged mixed-use development including a pub, restaurant, cafe, retail and commercial premises, community facilities, medical centre, indoor recreation facility and markets on Chinderah Bay Drive. But that’s not the end of plans for Chinderah, with the most recent development application currently on public exhibition proposing the construction of a cafe and restaurant at 128 Chinderah Bay Drive. Known as The Boat House, the $1 million plans commissioned by Bysea Pty Ltd outline the proposed construction of an access aisle on both 128 and 130 Chinderah Bay Drive to service the proposed and potential future development. The application outlines 252-squaremetres for the dining area on 128 Chinderah Bay Drive for the cafe/ restaurant over two storeys. The building has a proposed total height of 8.45 metres from ground level comprising approximately 0.7 metres of fill and 7.5 metres of building height. The development also includes 14 car spaces, 10 bicycle spaces and one delivery space along with proposed operational hours of between 6am to midnight, seven days a week,

Proposed development plans for The Boat House at Chinderah Bay Drive

To address flooding at the site, the application outlines a number of measures. “Fill of varying depths will be brought and distributed across the site to facilitate drainage to Chinderah Bay Drive and ensure flood-free electrical points are available under bench height,” the plans read. “On site stormwater will be directed to the existing drainage network within Chinderah Bay Drive, likewise water and sewer, telecommunications and electricity

services are provided to the immediate locality.” Tweed Shire residents can have their say on this development application Ref Number: DA19/0810 via the Tweed Shire Council website or at Tweed Shire Council Murwillumbah or Tweed Heads chambers.

Check your water tanks TWEED SHIRE residents are being asked to check the quality of their water tanks following heavy rain and extensive bushfires which can impact water quality and needs to be flushed and cleaned. Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for Disaster Recovery, John Barilaro, said following bushfires, rainwater may be contaminated by debris, dead birds, animals or ash. “If you have a rainwater tank, it’s possible that it could be contaminated by debris, dead animals, ash or fire retardants,” Mr Barilaro said. “If the water looks, smells or tastes unusual you should use an alternate water supply, such as town water or bottled water, for drinking and preparing food or ice. “Depending on the degree of contamination, the rainwater may still be suitable for other things like watering the garden, washing clothes or fighting fires.” Minister for Water Melinda Pavey said staying informed is vital to ensuring the safety of drinking water from home tanks in bushfire-affected towns. “It is important to try to prevent water contamination by monitoring weather forecasts and sealing your water tank to avoid the first part of runoff after rain,” Mrs Pavey said. “If people have concerns, NSW Health has detailed fact sheets about how to protect your rainwater supply after a bushfire.” According to the Government’s factsheet Tweed residents should keep roof catchments clear of overhanging branches and remove vegetation surrounding their tanks. Residents can also install first flush diverters, leaf stoppers on downpipes, and gutter guards to help keep roof dirt and debris out of your rainwater tank. “Make sure your rainwater tank is properly sealed against the entry of vermin, including rodents and mosquitoes. If there is a bushfire nearby, disconnect the downpipes from your tank,” the website reads.

Go4Fun program launches in 2020

By Jonathon Howard THE NSW Government’s free Go4Fun program has been launched in 2020 and provides families a fun, easy way to help kids become fitter, healthier and happier. Go4Fun runs once a week after school, for families of seven to 13-years old who are above a healthy weight. Kids get to make new friends, play fun and active games and improve their overall health. Parents and carers are also involved and each week there are demonstrations on preparing healthy affordable meals and tips on understanding food labels. Northern NSW Local Health District Health Promotion Manager, Jillian Adams, said the Go4Fun program can benefit the whole family. “Parents appreciate the program and feel more confident providing meals that their children will enjoy, that are also good for them,” Ms Adams said. Go4Fun is running in Term 1 in the Tweed Shire, and Aboriginal Go4Fun programs will also be held in Tweed.

The Aboriginal Go4Fun program has been tailored specifically to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families and is offered in partnership with local Aboriginal Medical Services. For those families who are unable to get to a face-to-face program there is also Go4Fun Online. The online option includes resource packs, online activities and phone-based health coaching for families. Go4Fun programs have been running in NSW for more than ten years and are proven to help children raise their self-esteem, reach a healthier weight, improve fitness and increase their physical activity. In 2019-20, the NSW Ministry of Health allocated $36.6 million to programs to tackle obesity, with $24.7 million of this for the prevention of childhood obesity.

People born under the Aquarius sign, look

PEOPLE BORN under the Aquarius star sign are often described as shy and quiet, but they can also be eccentric and energetic. However, never think this makes an Aquarius shallow, they are in fact they are deep thinkers and highly intellectual people who love helping others. They are also able to see without prejudice, on both sides, which makes them people who can easily solve problems. Although they can easily adapt to the energy that surrounds them, Aquarius-born have a deep need to be some time alone and away from everything, in order to restore power.

at the world as a place full of possibilities. Aquarius is an air sign, and as such, uses his mind at every opportunity. If there is no mental stimulation, they are bored and lack a motivation to achieve the best result. The ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus has a timid, abrupt and sometimes aggressive nature, but it also gives Aquarius visionary quality. They are capable of perceiving the future and they know exactly what they want to be doing ﬁve or ten years from now.

our famous giant hill waterslide, TRAC is the perfect place to relax and watch the kids splash around. TRAC also offers wheelchair, pram and walker accessibility,” he said. “The Starting Block Cafe has affordable and healthy meal options, or you can pack your own food and enjoy lunch at the grassed picnic areas. “We’re doing our bit to save water.

Nutra Organics announce $30,000 donation By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH BASED Nutra Organics, a family-owned health food business, have pledged $30,000 to the NSW Rural Fire Service, Red Cross Disaster Response and Recovery and WIRES Wildlife Rescue - three services that are still desperately in need of more funds. “We are deeply devastated by the bushfires that have torn our country apart, and are heartbroken for the families, communities and wildlife that have been tragically affected,” Nutra Organics co-owner and business manager Rickilee Harrison said. “But we are so in awe and full of gratitude for every volunteer, every business and every generous person for standing up and making a difference. “We stand with the rest of Australia, and we promise to make a positive difference by pledging $30,000 to Australian bushfire relief services over the next six months through our Project Give Back initiative.” Project Give Back is Nutra Organic’s community and environmental initiative to give back to the charities and causes that need help the most.

• Designer Waterproof Vanities • Balinese Vintage Door Sets

The initiative started in June 2019 and has already funded the cleanup of 100km of highly littered Australian beaches with Clean Ocean Foundation, planting 2,000 trees on Australian soil with Carbon Neutral, and has provided 30,000 meals to Australian’s in need with OzHarvest. “Social responsibility and caring for our environment are two of Nutra Organics core values,” Ms Harrison said. “Our vision is for a healthier Australia - from the best quality wholefood products we create to support every family, through to proactively caring for our environment and helping to ensure our communities are healthy and safe.” The generous donation follows a range of local fundraising initiatives including by the Tweed Palliative Care Secondhand Store and the Murwillumbah Community Centre. Both have raised thousands of dollars for the fire relief and efforts continue. YOUR THOUGHTS: Are you hosting a fundraiser for bushfire victims? The Weekly would love to help promote your event.

Cuba comes to the Tweed with Cultural Festival By Megan Albany AFREKETE IS a Cuban Cultural Festival set to come to the Tweed Shire for the first time in its eightyear history. The opening night of the festival, which promotes authentic Cuban music, dance, culture and spirituality, will be held at South Tweed Sports Club on Friday, January 24, from 7pm. Afrekete founder and former principal artist of Cuba’s National Folkloric Dance Group in Sweden, Christina Monneron, spoke to The Weekly about her love of all things Cuban. “I was born in Mauritius and moved to Australia when I was six years old,” Ms Monneron said. “When we moved here, mum and dad wanted us to speak English so we were integrated very quickly,” she said. “Then when I was ten I joined a troupe of Mauritian Sega dancers but I didn’t really get back into my culture until after I was introduced to Afro Cuban dance. “There was some familiarity with the way the dancers moved, so in 1998 I went to Cuba.” Ms Monneron said she was so enamoured by the dance that she wanted to explore more about Cuban culture. Her exploration eventually led her to becoming a priestess of the Santeria religion. “I became curious as to why the steps and the moves were performed a certain way and I knew there had to be more to it,” she said. “I discovered there were stories behind the dancing so I delved into that and

went on a cultural trip to Cuba and as I delved into that spirituality, my life opened up from there. “Santeria is all about connection to nature, it’s an earth-based worship, and having been brought up a Catholic, the ritualistic and ceremonial part of Santeria felt familiar. “There is also a lot of ceremonies that use herbs as medicines.” Despite having worked as a medical scientist in Sweden in pharmaceuticals, Ms Monnero said that these days, her focus is on healing people’s spirit through dance. “It’s so vital to have a healthy, happy community and in Cuba there is a philosophy that you are never too old, too fat or too thin to have a great time and enjoy life with each other,” she said. “Dance is multi-generational, and at the moment I do a lot of work in aged care because there is a lot of loneliness when people get older. “I do classes in some aged care facilities, including working with dementia, and it’s just about bringing a bit of life back and remembering the good times. “You’re never too old because dance isn’t in your feet, it’s in your heartbeat, so no matter what you can still dance. “With Afro Cuban rhythms you’re allowed to express so many aspects of yourself whether that’s the stillness of the ocean on a calm day or the movement of the waves on a really turbulent day. “Dance also allows us to practice how we can interact in a harmonious way with other people.”

THE TRUTH

83888

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Catherine Denevue and Juliette Binoche are undoubtedly two great icons of French cinema, so it is exciting to see them playing against each other in the film The Truth, directed by Hirokazu Kore-da of Shoplifters fame. It is the first movie filmed outside Japan and in a foreign language for the Japanese maestro, but the theme is a familiar one for a filmmaker whose movies often revolve about relationships within families.

Christina Monneron

Ms Monneron said the Afrekete festival will showcase Cuban dance including Arara dance from the Dahomey region (Nigeria), Bantu dance from the Congo, the Merengue Franco-Haitiano influence, the ancient Orisha dance of the Yoruba tradition as well as a conference on the heritage of Afro-Cuban culture. There is also a focus on Cuban music including a Bata Drum masterclass on how to apply parts of Afro-Cuban Rumba to Casino/Cuban Salsa and Son. For bookings or more information visit www.afrekete.com

The two great actresses play a mother and a daughter, and their relationship is at the core of the movie, but in a very different way than in Shoplifters: if the Oscar-winning film was a story about strangers pretending and behaving as relatives, The Truth is a story about relatives behaving as if they were strangers. It is also a reflection on how lies can sometimes be truth and on the deceitful nature of memory. The story is set in Paris, and rotates around Fabienne, a beloved, larger-than-life movie star who is completely selfabsorbed and reigns amongst men who love and admire her. When her daughter Lumir and her husband return to Paris with their young child to celebrate the publication of Fabienne’s memoire, problems surface: Lumir discovers a lot of inaccuracies if not outright lies in the memoire and the reunion between mother and daughter quickly turns confrontational as truths are told, accounts are settled and love and resentment are confessed. But what can you expect from a diva of Fabienne’s stature? She approaches every moment of her life with an I’m-still-here tenacity that is heroic and steely, vibrant and almost tyrannical. Her preoccupation with herself is paramount, to the expense of everyone else and reality, because – as she says in moments of truth: “I’m an actress. I won’t tell the naked truth, because it’s not interesting.” Or “ I love (only) the films I am in”. Interesting concepts…

By Megan Albany THE COUNTDOWN is on for artists to register for the sixth annual Murwillumbah Arts Trail (MAT). There’s just over a week left for artists to apply to be included in one of Murwillumbah’s flagship events with the callout for new artists to submit their work to be showcased. “This year it will be a curated event with a focus on the fine arts and we will be looking for more contemporary artists and high end art,” Murwillumbah Arts Trail Event and Marketing Director Petia Gardiman said. Over sixty artists will be chosen for inclusion in the trail by members of the Creative Caldera committee, many of whom are past and present exhibiting artists. “It would be great to see more artists apply, in particular new artists, but having said that it’s not so much about the numbers, it’s about the quality,” Ms Gardiman said. “Unlike previous years there is no theme, it’s just about showcasing our wonderful creative artists we have in this area and going behind the scenes to see their processes and studios. “While we have a definite focus on Tweedbased artists, the radius for the Arts Trail is 65 kilometres from Murwillumbah so artists from Byron, Lismore and all the way to the border are very welcome to apply.” Ms Gardiman said MAT20 will see a return to the original focus on visual arts

and a departure from the use of pop-up shops. “This year we are not doing pop-up shops and instead will be focusing on the beautiful venues such as the churches and halls that are already existing, as well as artists’ own studios,” she said. “The main reason we are not doing popup shops is because unfortunately the cost is prohibitive and we also often don’t know what spaces we have until the last minute and you can’t run a major event that way. “We’ll also be utilising businesses and restaurants such as Proudfoots Lane and M|Arts, as well as the Regent Cinema who will screen art house films, which will make it more sustainable in the long term.” Other changes include that artists submitting for the Arts Trail will no longer be charged a commission, the sales app has been dropped and there is now a flat fee for entry. “We want to make it easy for the artists to sell their work, so this year we are keeping it simple,” she said. For successful applicants the $110 entry fee will cover a space in the arts trail, listing on the MAT printed map, listing in the online gallery and promotion and marketing of artist exhibitions. Unsuccessful entrants will be refunded their fee less a $30 administration charge.

Call for platypus spotters as species on the brink By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE residents are being called upon to report platypus sightings, with the unique species at risk of extinction, according to the latest research by University of NSW (UNSW). UNSW research is now calling for national action to minimise the risk of the platypus vanishing due to habitat destruction, dams and weirs. Australia’s devastating drought is having a critical impact on the iconic platypus, a globally unique mammal, with increasing reports of rivers drying up and platypuses becoming stranded. Platypuses were once considered widespread across the eastern Australian mainland and Tasmania, although not a lot is known about their distribution or abundance because of the species’ secretive and nocturnal nature. A new study led by UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Ecosystem Science, funded through a UNSWled Australian Research Council project and supported by the Taronga Conservation Society, has for the first time examined the risks of extinction for this intriguing animal. Published in the international scientific journal Biological Conservation this month, the study examined the potentially devastating combination of threats to platypus populations, including water resource development, land clearing, climate change and increasingly severe periods of drought.

Lead author Dr Gilad Bino, a researcher at the UNSW Centre for Ecosystem Science, said action must be taken now to prevent the platypus from disappearing from our waterways. “There is an urgent need for a national risk assessment for the platypus to assess its conservation status, evaluate risks and impacts, and prioritise management in order to minimise any risk of extinction,” Dr Bino said. Alarmingly, the study estimated that under current climate conditions and due to land clearing and fragmentation by dams, platypus numbers have almost halved, leading to the extinction of local populations across about 40 per cent of the species’ range, reflecting ongoing declines since European colonisation. Under predicted climate change, the losses forecast are far greater because of increases in extreme drought frequencies and duration, such as the current dry spell. Dr Bino said these dangers further expose the platypus to even worse local extinctions with “no capacity to repopulate areas”. Documented declines and local extinctions of the platypus show a species facing considerable risks, while the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recently downgraded the platypus’ conservation status to “near threatened”. But the platypus remains unlisted in most jurisdictions in Australia – except South Australia, where it is endangered.

Tweed residents are being asked to look out for platypuses following the return of rain.

efforts for this unique mammal and other species by increasing monitoring, tracking trends, mitigating threats, and protecting and improving management of freshwater habitats,” Dr Bino said. The platypus research team is continuing to research the ecology and conservation of this enigmatic animal, collaborating with the Taronga Conservation Society, to ensure its future by providing information for effective policy and management. Residents can report platypus sightings via the Tweed Shire Council website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ platypus or by phoning Council on (02) 6670 2400.

“Even for a presumed ‘safe’ species such as the platypus, mitigating or even stopping threats, such as new dams, is likely to be more effective than waiting for the risk of extinction to increase and possible failure,” Prof Wintle said. “We should learn from the peril facing the koala to understand what happens when we ignore the warning signs.” Dr Bino said the researchers’ paper added to the increasing body of evidence which showed that the platypus, like many other native Australian species, was on the path to extinction. “There is an urgent need to implement national conservation

Director of the UNSW Centre for Ecosystem Science and study co-author, Professor Richard Kingsford, said it was unfortunate that platypuses lived in areas undergoing extensive human development that threatened their lives and long-term viability. “These include dams that stop their movements, agriculture which can destroy their burrows, fishing gear and yabby traps which can drown them and invasive foxes which can kill them,” Prof Kingsford said. Study co-author Professor Brendan Wintle at The University of Melbourne said it was important that preventative measures were taken now.

Main Arm and enjoyed transforming the property into a park like state. However, they realised the immensity of the task using minimal gear. They are now feeling armed and ready with an impressive top of the line Razorback and Zero Point mower, plus chainsaws, climbing gear, brushcutters, and commercial mowers to tackle any task. “The Razorback is a particularly impressive machine’ says Li, “Everyday it impresses me more with it’s ability to access difficult areas, being 4wd with a diﬀ lock on demand, and it’s ability to mow small saplings and Lantana”.

THE JUNIOR Club championships were postponed last Sunday due to unfavourable surf conditions and will now be held on February 15. A smaller group of the older nippers had a training session under the watchful eye of our IRBs and jet skis, and were then part of the group of members and representatives from Tweed Shire Council, Kingscliff community and NSW Parliament with the media launch of the 2020 NSW Country Titles. The Club will hold its fifth Cudgen/Salt Australia Day beach cleanup and paddle in on Sunday. Timetable is 7am for erection of

Club marquees, beach cleanup commences at 8am. There will be a CPR demonstration by under 11, 12 and 13s in the southern marquee organised by Sue Eke, age managers and ASEAN lifesavers. Provided surf conditions are favourable, the paddle-in by the juniors will start at the boat ramp at 9.40am. The craft will return to the beach in two waves followed by the surf boats once the smaller craft are in. Our 54th Car Competition will be finalised at the Surf Club this Sunday afternoon with the drawing at 2pm to which all ticket holders are invited.

FIND THE FROG & Win!! Looking back in 1964, our first car raffle was an Art Union due to its prize value, selling 420 tickets at five pounds ($10) each. Previous Art Unions on the Tweed had been failures and few doubted the ability of the Club to handle it. Some car firms wouldn’t even quote a price as they considered it couldn’t be done. The car, a Ford Falcon, cost $1,800 and was won by Don McPhail, a former member. Population in Tweed then was 24,000 and excluding school children approximately one in forty persons had to buy. Average household income in the Tweed region was $3,300 and many paid for a ticket in a weekly instalment. The 2016 census had the Tweed population at 91,371 and the national weekly wage at $1,438. The Inter-state team Championship will be held this Friday at Alexandra Headland on the Sunshine Coast. Cudgen have

Tweed Juniors compete in National Sailing Championships At the helm

with Bill Fenelon

TWEED VALLEY Sailing Club’s Junior Sailors were represented i n t w o m a j o r Au s t r a l i a n Championships over the summer holidays. Top team Morgan and Miles Bushnell travelled to Sydney Harbour and raced their Manly junior between Sydney Heads, a huge departure from the quiet waters of the Tweed, where they learnt to sail with the TVSC only this year. M o rg a n a n d M i l e s h a d t o dodge highspeed ferries, ships and thousands of yachts as they competed against 14 boats and 28

kids, including some of Australia’s best junior sailors. The Manly Junior class was designed by the Manly Yacht Club in 1959 and is still Australia’s best youth sail training class, developing young sailors with key skills to sail a double-handed boat and to enjoy a passion for the sport of sailing for life. Typically, the helmsman is aged 10 to14 and the crew 7 to 11 years old. It is amongst the smallest of classes with a “full rig”: mainsail, jib and spinnaker. Racing is competitive with many previous sailors going on to become world or Olympic Games champions in other classes. The skill level shown at a State or National event is high, with racing

being completed in up to 30 knots (56km per hour) of wind. It is an ideal starter boat into high performance sailing. They are mostly sailed at the Manly 16-foot skiff club and the Middle Harbour 16-foot skiff club. A quick count would suggest over 30,000 children have been introduced to sailing via the Manly Junior fleet. The 51st Manly Junior Australia National Championship were won by Liam Karunaratne and Ben Milham in ‘Public Enemy’ from Manly 16-foot Skiff Sailing Club. It was an awesome effort for the Bushnell family to travel to Sydney with the boat but the results proved worthwhile and the kids scored an excellent result. For the kids it was an amazing experience, and they are now planning to build a racing fleet of Manly Juniors on the Tweed. The TVSC Has 8 Manly Juniors ready to race and encourages kids to learn to sail and race these boats. Meanwhile in another body of water a long way away, 2 more TVSC juniors, Miles & Owen Brown travelled to Lake Cootharaba to compete in the 61st Australian National Heron Class Championship. The heron was designed by Jack Holt from the UK in the 1950’s, and was once the most numerous sailing dinghy in the world. Wo n by Ro han and Aidan Nosworthy for the third year in a row, this very traditional class is enjoying a resurgence of competitiveness with

Morgan & Miles Bushnell lead the pack under spinnaker on the run into Fairlight Point

many top national sailors getting into them starting their kids as crew. Tweed Valley Sailing Club junior sailors Miles and Owen had the time of their lives competing against 53 other Herons. Miles is 9 years old and started sailing at the Tweed Valley sailing club 4 years ago and has been race training on the Heron for the past six months. He teamed up with

South Brisbane Sailing Club Vice Commodore Chris Carey, and finished the series in the top 10 in their boat “Scary” with their best result being second in the final heat. Owen, sailing with TVSC Sailor Robert Preston, had a respectable 31st place in heat 8, coming in 41st overall - a decent result for the oldest boat in the fleet. Built in 1965 Heron “Jessica George” is 55 years old.

PRE-TEEN SURFING sensation, Quincy Symonds, aka the “Flying Squirrel” has had an outstanding week on her board, dominating in her own age group at the Rip Curl From Search national final. The Tweed Heads surfer claimed her second Rip Curl Gromsearch win in the 12-year-old girls national final in as many years beating fellow event standout Ruby Trew from Manly. The north coast natural-footer put on a blistering display of rail surfing over the duration of the final, posting a giant 15.93 two-wave total to claim the win. Her next mission was to compete against the 18-year olds and under in the Hydralyte Pro Junior Series at Duranbah Beach in solid conditions, progressing through to the quarter finals where she was narrowly eliminated. For a 12-year-old to make the quarter finals in this event, and not in small wave conditions either, is a great achievement. Watch out for Quincy, she will be taking some more scalps in the near future.

Hydralyte Pro Junior Organisers and Surfers Battle the Elements It was a crazy Saturday morning for the start of the Hydralyte Pro Junior Series at Duranbah Beach with the Gold Coast area receiving around 300mm of rain. Until that morning, organisers were holding on until 9am Saturday when the event commenced in atrocious conditions, before the wind and rain dropped back, and the surf began to improve with some solid over head waves at D’bah. The pro-juniors started ripping in straight away. The standard of surfing from these 18-year olds and under is amazing. The three -vent Hydralyte Sports Pro Junior Series starts on the Gold Coast, with a second event in April at North Narrabeen, and finishing up at Bells Beach in September. The top three men, and top two women from the series can get a spot in the 2020 WSL World Junior Championships, a great stepping stone to a professional career. Manly surfer, George Pittar, took out the win in the men’s, Victorian surfer Sage Goldsbury winning the women’s.

Both finals were extremely exciting and going down to the wire. Local hopes Raya Campbell and Marlon Harrison both made the finals surfing to a high standard but could not find the waves they were looking for in the 25-minute finals finishing 3rd and 4th respectively. Other local standouts were Ty Richardson and Jackson Graham, the tough field and conditions taking a toll on the local surfers.

Surfing Queensland to Host Redbull Airborne Qualifier at D’bah Can you fly free on the board? Want to take on the world’s best aerial surfers? Well entries are about to close next week for the qualifying event for the Redbull Airborne at the Carona Pro at Snapper Rocks.

The Winner of the Qualifier will earn a spot into the 2020 Red Bull Airborne event held at the Corona Open Gold Coast (March 26 to April 5). Catch You in the waves!

Touch footy legend 70 and still kicking By Jo Kennett THERE ARE a bunch of fit looking older blokes ready to run on to Les Burger Field, Cabarita, for their regular Wednesday night touch footy comp and among them is Geoff Edwards, who is about to turn 70 but has no plans of hanging up his runners anytime soon. Someone rings an old piece of steel to signal the start of the game. “It’s old and classic like us,” Geoff, who has been playing footy for 65 years, says. “The body is getting a bit old but it’s a good comp and all the teams we play against realise we are a bit older and slower so that will encourage people to keep playing when they start thinking they are too old. “There are a few around my age and what we do in recognition of that is that if you are over 60 and you score a try you get two points and the girls get two points too. “You’d be surprised how often it happens. “It’s just to encourage people to stick at it.

“We’ve all strained something and lost a bit of skin but thank heavens the ground is really good, and the grass is soft; it’s looked after really well, so we don’t get many injuries.” The Tweed Coast Touch Football President has been playing touch with the club since 1995 with his sons Chris, Shaun and Ashleigh, though Ashleigh is a FIFO worker and is unable to play at the moment. Before that he played at Murwillumbah and Wollongong for many years, but he has played rugby league since he was four or five years old in about 1955. He’s been president since around 2003 and says the competition is great because it has always been based around friendship. “At the moment we have 16 teams, but they aren’t graded,” Geoff said. “They play each other and at the end of the comp the top four teams are A grade and the bottom four are D grade and the middle teams are B and C grade.” Geoff said the competition is a real family affair.

“When we first started our team in 1995, we had Ian O’Connell and his two boys, myself and my three boys, Geoff McIlveen and his two boys and Howard Jenner,” he said. “The youngest of the boys was 12 and so here we are in 2020 and we still play in the same team, the Sharks. “When we started I had to get t-shirts and in that year Cronulla

By Megan Albany WHILE MOST kids new year’s resolutions are likely to be something like buying new Pokemon cards or winning the school handball competition, eight-year-old Taylen Howard has his sights set on taking home the State and National titles in the sport he loves most. After winning the Brisbane Cup in December in 2019 and taking home two NSW Motorcross Titles in the Div 2 (aged 7 to 9) and 65cc (aged 7 to 9) with a clean sweep at the 2019 Honda NSW Junior Track Championships, it seems the young Cabarita bike rider could well have what it takes to go all the way. Taylen’s mother, Elly Howard, said the win came as a surprise to her son.

“He was surprised because he was going up against kids that race in America and the Australian Champion, and he was also one of the youngest in that age division, so he was very proud,” Ms Howard said. After winning both NSW Titles, he had the honour of riding the prestigious victory lap while proudly flying the chequered flag. Despite his obvious talent for the sport, Ms Howard said it wasn’t the path they would have expected their child to take. “He got his first bike when he was four because he had just always wanted one, but we’re not a motorbike family at all,” she said. “We were hesitant at first but we haven’t looked back because it’s helped him in so many ways, especially with his confidence.

“He’s a smart kid so I know he’s as safe as possible but I definitely still get a bit worried but it’s a sport he’s chosen himself, it’s not like he’s following in his dad’s footsteps, because his dad’s a surfer.” Ms Howard said her son is hoping to take another victory lap at the State and National Titles in 2020. In the meantime he’s doing what most coastal kids do in the school holidays and enjoying time at the beach. “He’s been out surfing, that’s what he likes to do in the holidays, so he’s having a bit of time off the bike and onto his board,” she said. “He’ll start practicing again on his bike soon.”

By Jo Kennett CUDGEN HEADLAND SLSC is hoping to take out its fourth consecutive title at the NSW Envirobank Country Championships to be held at Kingscliff on the weekend of February 1-2. Last year the club used its hometown advantage to finish more than 400 points clear of nearest rivals Byron Bay at the

event at Kingscliff and nippers coach Phil Klein reckons they have a good chance of going back to back. “They have been training the house down,” Klein said. “They’ve got local knowledge which plays a big part on this beach. “They are the reigning champions and I’m pretty confident they will be bringing home the title again.”

Tweed MP and Cudgen Headland SLSC Patron Geoff Provest said having the titles at Kingscliff again “was a great credit to the club”. “This will see in excess of 14,000 tourists which not only teaches safety on our beaches but more importantly brings tourists to our town to spend in local businesses,” Mr Provest said. “Each year it has been run superbly by the Cudgen Surf Club. They are volunteers and they do a really great job. “They have over 200 competitors and many of them are juniors and our future for lifesaving, so well done Cudgen Headlands SLSC and also well done to Tweed Shire Council that are partnering in the event. “Logistically this is enormous in terms of road blockages, beach closures etc. “It’s a major event and each year it goes flawlessly so well done to both.”

got beaten by the Broncos in the rebel league and there were a whole lot of Sharks t-shirts saying Sharks Premiers 1995 but obviously they didn’t win so they weren’t worth much so I thought that will do us. “It was a bit controversial because Ian O’Connell is a red-hot Souths supporter and Howard Jenner is a red hot St George supporter but

the Sharks won and we’ve been the Sharks ever since. “A lot of people didn’t get to 70 so playing and still being able to be involved and run around with my two boys is good. “It would be nice to be able to play long enough so some of the grandkids could be playing as well but we’ll see how we go.”

Councillor Warren Polglase said Tweed Shire Council has supported the event for five years. “We will continue to support it into the future because the benefits it brings to the whole of the Tweed for tourism and restaurants. “With the bushfires we need to support activities within Australia. “This event brings competitors from the south coast to the north coast and we want to give them a good time. “We get people coming back for holiday and that tourism is really important for the local economy.” Grant Rogers has been president of the club for two months and said club members were getting more and more comfortable running events like this. “The team is used to doing it on this sort of scale, it’s a little bit like a military operation,” he said. “Each time we do a debrief and we keep improving our workflow and set up.

“We got some really good feedback from the IRB Championships last year; a lot of people liked it. “It went very smoothly, and we took a lot of the stress of people getting boats onto the beach out and people really had fun. “Last time we didn’t have quite enough water supply so now we have a dedicated water supplier. “We are really hoping people will turn up and enjoy themselves. We have a band on Saturday night and that is a really good night as well. “We have been very strong on the competition side so for us this is about getting as many people as we can involved and to just enjoy being involved in an event like this. “There is a huge team of members and family that come along to do their bit, so we are really hoping to encourage people coming along and doing a little bit. It will be a great weekend.”
