By Jonathon Howard OUTGOING NATIONALS Member for Lismore and one of the region’s most respected politicians was showered in praise during a special farewell retirement dinner at the Murwillumbah Golf Club earlier this month. Almost 100 people filled the function room of the golf club to congratulate Mr George on his political career alongside his wife Deborah. Mr George has worked as a bank officer, a stock and station agent, a real estate agent and a publican, but it’s his political career spanning the past two decades that made his mark. Mr George joined the National Party in 1969 and was elected to the seat of Lismore in 1999. Besides being the NSW National Party Whip in the O’Farrell/ Stoner Liberal/ The Nationals opposition, Mr George was also Temporary Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. His foundations for helping out the community began when he was the inaugural chairman of the Casino Beef Week Promotion Committee from 1982 to 1990. In 1989 he was rewarded with the Casino Apex Citizen of the Year and the Casino Council’s Australia Day Award. Mr George has been a member of The Nationals Agricultural and Small Business Committees, the Coalition

He has been a spokesperson on rural crime and energy, and ports, and was the deputy whip in 2002 before being appointed as the party whip in 2003. In June 2017, Mr George announced his intention to retire from politics in 2019. Mr George said there were many highlights including the commencement of the final stages of Lismore Base Hospital’s redevelopment, the sod turning for Murwillumbah’s Connected

Mr George has been a passionate supporter of The Weekly and has provided invaluable advice and support to the team over the years. “From The Weekly team we would like to wish you all the best in your future endevours Thomas and please drop by the office if you’re ever in town, you’re always welcome,” editor Jonathon Howard said.

Woolworths responds after fire in former bowls clubs on the site and will engage with Council and the community in relation to the application in due course.” In early 2018 a local push was on to save the site, by the Save My Murwillumbah group, with several residents expressing concerns around the site becoming a Woolworths outlet. Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads Firefighters attended the premises at about 9am after smoke was seen rising from the upper floor (pictured below). “On arrival smoke was issuing from the top level of the abandoned building,” a spokesperson for Tweed Heads Fire & Rescue said. “Firefighters in breathing apparatus gained entry and conducted firefighting operations and searched the premise.

“The fire was extinguished, and no one was found inside.” However, on leaving the scene firefighters noticed the fire had again flared up in the roof. “391 firefighters set up a safe work at heights kit and extinguished the reignition from the level one roof,” the spokesperson said. “Also in attendance were NSW Ambulance and NSW Police Force.” YOUR THOUGHTS: Would you like to see the site used for a Woolworths or do you believe the site should remain recreational?

By Jonathon Howard A FIRE in the former Murwillumbah Bowls Club on Condong Street took hold on Sunday, March 17, igniting fresh debate over the site’s future under owners Woolworths. It’s the second time firefighters have been called to put out a structural fire at the former club, which has fallen into disrepair during the past three years. The Weekly has since spoken to the current site owners, Woolworths Group, about the property and their intentions in relation to developing a supermarket outlet there. The supermarket giant hinted at a renewed effort to redevelop the site, which is currently zoned recreational, but provided no specifics about when. Woolworths Property Manager Chris Sheehan told The Weekly the company is “currently investigating the incident at the site”. “We are committed to ensuring the premises on the corner of Brisbane Street and Condong Street is safe and secure,” he said. “We continue to review options in relation to planning for a supermarket

4 Letters to the Editor Thursday, March 21, 2019

Is anyone else worried?

I am worried that Dr Wes Allen appearing in MP Geoff Provest’s latest TV ad for the National Party. Those who can remember back a decade or so must be wondering whether it could be the same Dr Wes Allen whose 2004 Tweed Council election campaign was entirely funded by Tweed Directions? The ensuing public outcry against land developers capturing the council led to the Maurice Daley Enquiry, and the subsequent dismissal of all councillors. Daley’s report said “candidates, selected and supported by Tweed Directions, while presenting themselves as independents, were imposters, being puppets of Tweed Directions”. Instead of bogus scare campaigns, Mr Provest would do better to try convincing the community that rezoning prime farmland to urban uses has no hidden real estate agenda. He could start by releasing the mystery report by “independent experts” that he, the Health Minister and the NSW Premier keep quoting and re-quoting to prove their hospital site choice was not biased. Strangely enough, the report, its date, its title, its contents and the author’s identity still remain a state secret a year later. Glenda Kamenos, Banora Point

Careful what you wish for

I am being bombarded with unsubstantiated populist election promises and ‘pledges’. It is time to stop political games and get some answers from Labor’s Craig Elliot. On what basis or consultation does he think the new hospital should be relocated to Kings Forest? Whether we like it or not the Cudgen site has far less impact on residents. It is opposite TAFE, a daytime facility, near the library and not adjacent to large communities and people’s homes and is close to the M1. Significant farmland activists also need to consider significant residential communities. As a non-party political voter, I just want costed and substantiated policy choices not populist slogans. Leigh Kealton, Casuarina

We voted for train lines

For many years the National Party promised “to get the trains running” on the Casino to Murwillumbah train line, which helped them retain their North Coast seats. When the Premier and the National Party Leader visited Brunswick Heads last week, they refused to speak about the train service we now need more than ever.

In 2019 all they want to talk about is destroying the train line worth billions and replacing it with a very expensive bike track. What a breathtaking backflip. If the National Party are going to treat voters with such contempt and put the community’s need for a train service last, it’s only fair that we return the favour and put the National Party last on our ballot paper. Louise Doran, Ocean Shores

Trust no one but yourself

All major parties are inconsistent with their view on climate change and the hospital in Tweed. Greens and Labor believe in global warming but want the hospital in the two coastal areas available (next to Tweed River and Cudgen Creek). The Coalition does not believe global warming, as much, but they are willing to put the hospital way above the worst flood we could get. The 2017 floods changed planning laws on both sides of the state border - and rightly so. Weather will get more extreme and 2017 was a bad flood but it can get much worse. I have been told by planners in council that if it rained for just another three more hours and combined with another high tide then it would have turned significantly more catastrophic. I do feel for those who have been left in the dark by experts making decisions and changes. They should have had many more information sessions and detailed reasons why the Tweed Heads site cannot be redeveloped into the hospital that we need for our region. Nathan Jones, Cudgen

Where there is a will there is a way

About 30 years ago the residents of Fingal Head worked and campaigned tirelessly to keep high-rise overdevelopment out of Fingal - against all odds they were successful and their slogan “Keep Fingal Special” is why we can still enjoy Fingal Head in its beautiful and pristine condition. Now Kingscliff residents have a similar battle on their hands. We all understand we need a larger hospital for the Tweed, that’s a given. The NSW Government has had a Masterplan in place to expand The Tweed Hospital on its existing site for several years. Many residents around the Tweed Hospital moved there to be close to the hospital. Politician’s recent decision to forego these expansion plans smacks of sheer arrogance and disdain for our communities. It seems like last-minute preelection urgency to drop a huge

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals multi-storey piece of new hospital infrastructure and associated buildings on a new site right between the residents of the village of Cudgen and Kingscliff, and on, and in between State Significant Farmland (SSF). Besides the big issues of how this site selection will adversely impact upon our communities once it is finally completed there are so many contradictions in the NSW Government’s justifications as to why this site was chosen. History has shown that where there is a will there is a way. I t s e e m s t h at t h e c u r r e n t Government’s will is the Cudgen site. Our community has protested strongly and sensibly against this site and know there are other ways to achieve our new hospital for the Tweed. When you vote on March 23 remember why we chose to live here. Please vote for people who understand why we chose to live here. Rhonda McCulloch, Kingscliff

Cyclists could use some road sense on our roads

I read in The Weekly about cyclists returning to the roads and hours later I encountered the peloton from Murwillumbah to Crystal Creek. The writer says you might wait up to a minute? I was six cars behind and not one was able to get past for 15 minutes. This happens when the first car (second including the race official’s car) is nervous about passing both the peloton and the race car. Here’s a suggestion, that occurred to me as I was still stuck behind at Crystal Creek school. The school has a long wide car park where cyclists could have pulled over, giving all us cars a chance to get past. Would have cost them maybe three seconds. Designate areas like that, at least five between town and Chillingham for safety’s sake. The pace car could make sure no rider sneaks a position and so would the riders. It would also give them chance for a sprint to get up to speed, knowing no cars are behind them. The cyclist in the story also admits that the road is narrow and potholed which add to the hazard of racing. Racing? Who permits our local roads to be used as a racetrack? Why not use one of the race tracks between here and Southport? Or at least roads that are wider and not so winding. Bill Buckley, Crystal Creek

One rule for “them” and one

rule for “us”

With reference to the Tweed Valley Weekly article (Thursday, March 14 edition) titled Tempers flare over Draft Rural Land Strategy, comment is included from former Council Administrator Max Boyd [AM] voicing his support for Mayor Milne’s decision to stop any further housing in the rural area. He says: “people who are seriously farming their land do not need more housing”. How very interesting considering Mr Boyd himself subdivided his own farm into six housing lots, because as he had said he could not earn a living from his own land. How does one interpret his comment? It’s okay for me because I am an important person, but certainly not for others. Still this is something that we have seen many times within Tweed Shire Council. Yes, there is one rule for “them” and another for “us”. Mike Yarrow, Byangum

How and why questions

How and why have the state and local health departments allowed The Tweed Hospital to deteriorate to such a low level? Was it by mismanagement or neglect? Now it is being said in numerous media sources that Tweed resident’s lives are at risk, it’s a matter of life and death and pigs might fly, and people die? Surely that would be frightening, even terrifying to injured, ill and elderly people who depend on the management of the hospital with full trust. That’s the how. Now for the why. Are the state and local health departments now using this alleged mismanagement or neglect resulting in lives being put at risk, to justify an “urgent” new hospital, which will have a usable expectancy of approximately 70 years, on irreplaceable, multigenerational State Significant Far mland which beautifully complements an established tourist and family holiday destination. It seems, with compulsory acquisition, a more suitable site, anywhere in the Tweed region, can be purchased; because none of the other more than 50 sites offered in the Expressions of Interest meet the criteria decided by the still unknown expert, independent advisors. Why Kingscliff and the Cudgen Plateau farmland? Valerie Kirk, Kingscliff

To the victor go the spoils

I am fourth generation farming family in Cudgen. The battle to keep the Cudgen Plateau farmland zoning of state significance versus developer’s intent to concrete over

the top of this rich food bowl has come to a crescendo. We are now on the cusp of a state election and to the victor go the spoils. As the hospital is visualised to be nine stories in height, a precedent would then occur. With it will follow high rise throughout the township and Kingscliff, as we know and love it, will be no more. The proposed development would have a short-term financial gain for a few that would see this land gone forever under the weight of concrete and tar. The impact on the road system will be unprecedented here. Parking will become a nightmare and, hospital parking will have to be paid for. Roads will need to be upgraded and widened, taking away more precious land. This is only stage one of a much larger plan; the purchase of the adjacent property rings alarm bells. Is it a coincidence that a former south eastern Qld developer purchased 5.6ha for $4.51 million just to sit on it? The hospital upgrade is of course, much needed and has been for many years. The hospital must be situated in a more desirable setting, not on Cudgen plateau. Lesley Steel, Cudgen

Who’s paying the highest power prices in the world?

A political flyer found in my mailbox informs me that “NSW families pay highest electricity prices in the world”. Fortunately, that honour belongs to South Australia, where electricity is nearly forty percent more expensive than in NSW, followed by Denmark and Germany; the greater the percentage of renewable energy the higher the price. Sunshine and wind are free, but very expensive infrastructure is required to keep the lights on when the sun stops shining and the wind stops blowing, when fossil fuels play second fiddle to renewables. Labor wants to not only put a price on carbon and the power it produces, but also dramatically increase renewables, so electricity prices could soar under the party circulating that flyer.

Health Minister’s letter reveals expansion plans around Cudgen hospital site By Jo Kennett DESPITE CLAIMS from Tweed MP Geoff Provest that there would be no expansion of the planned Tweed Valley Hospital outside its Cudgen boundaries Health Minister Brad Hazzard has described the hospital as a “catalyst investment” and NSW Health Infrastructure has openly tabled “significant expansion scenarios”. A letter Mr Hazzard wrote to Tweed Shire Mayor Katie Milne on August 13, 2018, stated the NSW Department of Planning and Environment had appointed a consultant to work on a plan for a ‘health and education precinct’ around the new Tweed Valley Hospital. “The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) has appointed a consultant to work with council, the Tweed Valley Hospital project team and other stakeholders in preparing the Tweed City Action Plan,” Mr Hazzard wrote in the letter. “This work will explore opportunities to create a best practice health and education precinct around the catalyst investment in the new hospital and will consider planning scenarios around the hospital campus, the TAFE site opposite, and the major development areas to the north.” A spokesperson later denied the DPE had appointed a consultant to attract allied health services to a Regional Health Precinct at the site. Mayor Milne wrote to Mr Hazzard saying that he had failed to consider the bulk of the issues requested by

Council to be clarified including the transparency of the process. She sought further advice to clarify what Mr Hazzard meant by “consider planning scenarios around the hospital campus”, asking what area he referred to and noting “extreme concern” if it included any more State Significant Farmland (SSF). Mayor Milne told The Weekly that there was considerable concern among councillors that a state government Tweed Health Precinct Background and Scenario Analysis report done in September 2018 had not been released. “Council staff were involved but councillors were not and no information has been released - it is strictly confidential,” Mayor Milne said. “A number of councillors are concerned about that.” On August 22, the Chief Executive of Health Infrastructure (HI) said in a request for Environmental Assessment Requirements to the DPE that significant expansion plans were being assessed. “The master planning process has and continues to look at a range of options based on the Draft 2018 Service Statement include projections to 2026/20 and 2031/2032 as well as significant expansion scenarios (eg +20 per cent, +50 per cent, +100 per cent) of initial requirements,” he said. Former Tweed Shire Council Manager of Infrastructure Planning and Design Don McAllister warned in a letter to the DPE earlier this month that after all the buffer zones required under NSW legislation policy were taken into account, the

actual land available at the site was less than the required eight hectares minimum for the hospital and allied services. “Rather than revoking the proposal after this discovery, the applicants have sought to overcome them by offering specious arguments that the legislated and policy buffers are unnecessary,” Mr McAllister told Ms Carolyn McNally, Secretary of the DPE. “Even so, it is now manifestly obvious that the site will never accommodate the full expression of a 900 bed regional hospital, its allied health services, a private hospital, private clinics, consulting rooms and so forth. He expressed his opinion that, “To realise the hospital vision and accord with the North Coast Regional Plan, the precinct must be expanded into protected State Significant Farmlands to the south and west, despite the applicant’s assurances that this will never happen.” The zoning for the hospital site was recently changed to Special Purpose Infrastructure, overturning the State Significant Farmland zoning put in place to protect farmland from development pressures in 2005. Deputy Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry said there was concern at a recent planning meeting about Council’s Planning Department’s Kingscliff Locality Plan recommendations to preserve SSF on the plateau, including the land adjacent to the TAFE and hospital site, while also expanding the Kingscliff Hill Precinct to include the hospital site and “discuss the planning and design implications of the Tweed Valley Hospital including

a discussion on land uses on the immediate adjoining sites”. “We found that a bit of a red flag the majority of councillors did and we found it presumptuous to include the hospital in the plan when it had no DA approval,” Cr Cherry told The Weekly. Tweed MP Geoff Provest recently gave assurances that the State Significant Farmland (SSF) adjacent to the hospital site The Weekly revealed had been purchased by a Brisbane developer for $4.51 million would not be developed and would remain SSF. In the lead up to the 2015 election Mr Provest promised that his government would upgrade the existing hospital and until March 2017 that was still being planned before Mr Hazzard announced a new hospital would be built on the Cudgen site. When asked at a community consultation meeting - after widespread community anger at the proposal - why he had chosen to move the hospital instead of continuing with the plans to upgrade

the existing hospital Mr Hazzard told the packed meeting, “I have changed my mind because I can”. Mayor Milne said that it was “extremely possible to expand” the current hospital site and that many people were in favour of that option. “The footprint of the expanded Tweed Heads option includes the road and parts of the civic precinct to the west,” she said. “The hospital wouldn’t have to be developed on the same site but extended west and then go back and redevelop the existing hospital so there would be minimal disruption while construction occurs. “We can use existing infrastructure rather than disposing of it and it can be built up a level out of flood range and have non-essential infrastructure on the ground floor such as parking. “It’s not the case that we would have to resume residential properties in the area.” The DPE continues to request clarification and documents from Health Infrastructure as HI seeks approval for the project.

n celebration of its 30th birthday in March, ETC is keeping true to its company ethos by giving back to local communities.

ETC CEO Jenny Barnett said the company was celebrating its birthday by giving away $300,000 as part of the ETC Community Support Fund and by coordinating a Corporate Volunteer Day for its staff. “It’s not really our style to throw a big party so instead we are keeping true to our values and giving back to local communities,” Mrs Barnett said. ETC Chairperson Rod McKelvey said the next round of the ETC Community Support Fund opened on 18 March – 15 April 2019. “This year as part of ETC’s birthday celebrations we are delighted to be in a position to increase the funding pool to $300, 000,” Mr McKelvey said. “As a not-for-profit company, ETC is committed to supporting local community groups and we are thrilled to have been able to give back more than $1M since the ETC Community Support Fund began in 2012,” Mr McKelvey said.

to participate in the volunteer day,” Mrs Barnett said. “Our staff will be involved in all sorts of projects designed to help disadvantaged members of our communities. “Our Gold Coast team are helping out at YHES House in Southport for disadvantaged and at risk youth; our North Coast team are lending a hand to restore a community garden which was wiped out in the last floods at YWCA Goonellabah; and our Mid North Coast team will be helping assemble kits for the homeless, assisting with community BBQs in Coffs Harbour and Taree and cleaning up local parks.” ETC’s Chief Operations Officer Damon Munt said ETC was all about improving peoples’ lives through its core business of employment and training services. “Our role is to help the unemployed find meaningful work, upskill people to become more employable and help meet local employer’s recruitment needs by finding people who are the best fit for their business,” Mr Munt said.

Mrs Barnett said ETC staff were really excited about participating in the company’s first ever Corporate Volunteer Day on Saturday 16 March.

“Since 1989, ETC has helped more than 72,000 people find jobs; trained more than 34,000 people and assisted close to 40,000 small business operators.

“ETC now employs more than 300 staff across our footprint, which extends from Forster/ Tuncurry in the south to Coomera on the Gold Coast, many of whom are giving up their time

“We would like to thank local businesses for supporting us over the past 30 years by employing our job seekers and undertaking our training courses.”

Boardwalk set for long life

Check out where you can take your dog ‘leash free’ at the beach in the Tweed. Remember, in all other areas your dog needs to be on a lead, unless dogs are prohibited for other reasons such as designated swimming areas or playgrounds.

The new Anchorage Boardwalk bordering Keith Curran Reserve in Tweed Heads is now officially open, following a ceremony last Friday afternoon. The 245-metre long boardwalk runs along the mangrove foreshore of Terranora Creek from the northern end of Keith Curran Park to Pelican Point. It was rebuilt by Council contractor Envirostruct Services Pty Ltd at a cost of $936,000, using composite fibreglass piers, decking and handrails and powder-coated aluminium balustrading, which will not rust, rot or be attacked by termites. The boardwalk offers a scenic pedestrian pathway through an aquatic environment and opens the area to the entire community, not just the residents of The Anchorage. At 1.8 metres wide, it will also allow wheelchair and mobility scooter access. It has been designed to last 50 years. The project presented many challenges, both in design and construction. The original timber boardwalk was built in the early 1990s but had been closed for a considerable time due to safety concerns as several sections had rusted and were structurally unsafe. The rebuild was funded by the NSW Government, with $685,000 being committed in June 2017 from the Cycling Infrastructure Fund and a further $225,000 secured the following year from Roads and Maritime Services.

Introducing your online canine Tweed beach guide Want to know where you can take your dog to the beach? Council has developed a handy new online mapping tool which shows leash free areas, zones where dogs are required to be on a lead and areas where dogs are prohibited. Dogs must be on a lead at all times in public places, unless in a designated ‘leash free’ area. The online mapping tool shows: • Prohibited zones – no dogs allowed at any time • Leash free beaches. This is to the high water mark only. Access to the dunal area is prohibited – please do not let your dogs go into the dunes as there are many vulnerable and threatened species in these areas. • In all other areas at the beach your dog must be on a lead. This includes adjoining parks and walkways to the beach. Council’s Director Community and Natural Resources, Tracey Stinson, said while these zones had been in place for some time, residents and visitors were often confused or unaware about the location of the zones and the points where they started and finished. “We know many people get great pleasure from taking their dogs to the beach for exercise and letting them run and socialise with other dogs,” Ms Stinson said.

“It’s equally important to make sure that we’re looking after wildlife that live in this environment, including threatened shore birds such as the Beach Stone-curlew and sea turtles. “Dogs need protection too and staying out of the dunes keeps your dog safe from snakes and other threats like ticks, as well as protecting the environment,” she said. The benefits of keeping dogs away from wildlife has been demonstrated at Hastings Point this summer, where a critically endangered Beach Stone-curlew chick has successfully survived to adulthood along the banks of Cudgera Creek. “Well done to the Tweed’s dog owners for their understanding of the exclusion zone around the chick and for all the volunteers who contribute to its survival,” Ms Stinson said. To view the online mapping tool, visit www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/dogs and click on the link ‘Where can I walk my dog?’ or go to http://bit.ly/TweedDogMapping Over the next few weeks, watch out for Council’s ‘Dogs of the Tweed’ campaign – on social media, posters and in the Tweed Link – which will encourage residents to share stories about their dogs and spread the message about responsible pet ownership and the importance of wildlife protection.

Worst weeds prove popular More than 60 people are more informed about the ‘Worst Weeds of the Tweed’ after attending a workshop at Uki Hall on 7 March. Most participants were landowners keen to find out more about identifying and managing weeds on their property. Organised by Tweed Landcare, the event helped landowners understand their responsibilities for managing weeds, particularly high risk weeds that threaten agricultural land and our precious environment. Tropical Soda Apple was a focus of the workshop due to an outbreak in Byrrill Creek which has spread down the Tweed River as far as Byangum. Presenters included representatives from Rous County Council (the local weed control authority), Tweed Shire Council, Tweed Landcare and a vet from Local Land Services. Tweed Landcare plans to continue the focus on weeds with a weed strategy and treatment workshop planned for later in the year.

The affected streets are: • Keith Compton Drive, from Brett Street to Navigators Way • Powell and Solander streets, from Brett Street to Keith Compton Drive, and • Florence Street, from Wharf Street to Powell Street. The works on Keith Compton Drive and Powell and Solander streets will be done during the day time. The work on Florence Street will be done at night due to the high volume of daytime traffic and its close proximity to the Wharf Street intersection. All streets being worked on will be closed to traffic during work hours. Traffic will be diverted via alternate routes, which will be signed, and stop/ slow flagmen will be placed at key intersections to manage traffic flows. Residents living within the construction zones will be allowed through but may experience short delays. Buses and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the work zones. Weather permitting, the works will be carried out from Monday 25 March to the evening of Thursday 11 April.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Councillors share their votes in state election

By Jonathon Howard TWEED AND Lismore voters are getting ready to cast their votes in the NSW State Election on Saturday, March 23, with several Tweed Shire Councillors speaking in support of their preferred candidates. Councillors Pryce Allsop wrote to The Weekly recently to voice his views and he’s backing the Nationals candidates Geoff Provest for Tweed and Austin Curtin for Lismore. Cr Allsop said the Nationals have “delivered so much”. “The spin from the opposition won’t brighten the Tweed’s hard working and ageing population,” he said. “Sadly, the preferential electoral system gives votes a second chance and maybe a protest vote could fall the wrong way. “I have never been invited to a Labor Party function to hear their goals, and whilst my dealings with Labor representatives have always been positive and respectful in seems to be a case of towing the political line and not a free-thinking Labor. “I am appreciative of the work that they do, they make a good opposition

they encourage some good community outcomes. “It would appear to me though that Geoff Provest (MP) works bloody hard for the Tweed and fights for everything in each sector of the Tweed and its community and their needs.” Cr Allsop described retiring Lismore MP Thomas George as an “absolute gentleman and a master tradesman of the political field”. “He has taken a very genuine and very energetic Austin Curtin under his wing,” Cr Allsop said. “The new Nationals team member Austin Curtin has accepted Thomas’ mentoring and leadership. “I would suggest that if Geoff and Austin where to be elected they would perform well together for our Tweed.” Councillor Ron Cooper said he is p a s s i o n at e a b o u t p reve n t i n g the “spread of Gold Coast development onto the Tweed Coast”. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e likelihood of this has been significantly increased by including Kingscliff with Tweed Heads as the City of the Tweed,” he said. “This is part of the planning for the hospital proposed for the Cudgen farmlands.

“Labor has vowed to build the hospital but not on the farmlands. “I normally vote for The Greens and put Labor second, but for this election, I can’t take any chances with the Tweed’s future. “This time I’m voting Labor ahead of The Greens. “I know The Greens also disagree with using the Cudgen farmlands, but if there is a hung parliament through Labor not getting a clear majority, the delay caused by the negotiation with independents could drag on.” Cr Cooper said the hospital construction could progress towards the “point of no return if these negotiations bog down”. “Labor has committed to keeping Kingscliff and the Tweed coast at three storeys and have spent thousands of dollars in the local print media in support of this,” he said. “The Greens have also shown strong support for three storeys. “My wife is still voting for The Greens but is making sure she puts Labor second.” Councillor James Owen was next to voice his views to The Weekly and said Saturday’s election for the

Tweed is a “referendum on whether the community wants a hospital or not”. Cr said it was “disingenuous of Labor to say that they will build a hospital at Kings Forest” despite assurances from both the Kings Forest developer and Labor. “They know, just as they knew Medicare wasn’t going to be privatised in the 2016 Federal election, that there is no way they are going to build a hospital at Kings Forest, and yet they are happy to say anything just to try to get people to vote for them,” he said. “Then there’s the nonsense that Labor are pedalling about the Berjiklian Government preferring to ‘spend billions in Sydney while rural and regional communities receive second-class health and education services’. “Like Gladys Berjiklian says, under the coalition government you can have both. “Geoff Provest has secured hundreds-of-millions-ofdollars’ worth of services and infrastructure for Tweed in recent times, including the $589m Tweed Valley Hospital – the biggest ever regional health investment in NSW. “The only way that Tweed will get the hospital it so desperately needs is to vote one for Geoff Provest on Saturday March 23.”

M a y o r Katie Milne said The Greens are the party to vote for to “keep our hospital in Tweed Heads and save our Tweed Coast from Gold Coast type sprawl”. “The lives that will be saved by having a hospital in close proximity to those in high need situations must be the primary consideration,” Mayor Milne said. “Being able to get to hospital quickly is a matter of life and death in emergency situations such as heart attacks and cardiac arrests. “This is vital for the high concentration of our elderly population that moved to Tweed Heads to be close to this service.” Mayor Milne said recent advice is that the 2013 Masterplan to redevelop Tweed Heads hospital would only cost $633 million. “Only 20 per cent more than the Nationals $534 million proposal to move the hospital to Kingscliff,” she said. “The extra cost would be well worth it to have the hospital in the right location. “The Tweed Hospital could be expanded to utilise parts of the civic precinct and road to the west to provide a larger footprint and minimise disruption, as shown on the

TVH summary report in July 2019.” Deputy M ayo r C r Chris Cherry kept her response to t h e vo t i n g question brief. “My only advice to voters would be to consider if you feel you have been wellrepresented over the last 12 years to date by the sitting member or not” she said. Councillor R e e c e Byrnes said he’s asking for voters to give Labor candidate for Tweed, Craig Elliot and Labor candidate for Lismore, Janelle Saffin their vote. “Labor’s commitments include; more police, a new public hospital at Kings Forest and a high school at Pottsville,” Cr Byrnes said. “The fact is only Labor will build a new $534 million public hospital at Kings Forest better, faster and on budget. “We will also keep the current Tweed Hospital in public hands for ongoing health and community services, while saving and protecting Cudgen farmlands and Kingscliff from Geoff Provest’s Gold Coast style over development.”

Solar Cuts Local Club’s Power Use in Half

advertisement

Since installing 60 kW of new solar panels in September last year, grid power use at East Lismore Bowling Club has been halved, saving thousands of dollars for the club each year.

During the heat wave last week, Jeff Beard, Manager at the Club said that they were running the airconditioning up til 5pm without using any power from the network at all. The success of the solar project is encouraging for other clubs, businesses and homes who are struggling to understand why they are paying so much more for electricity now. The price of solar power systems has been falling almost as fast as power is going up, making solar the most economical way to reduce daily running costs. The board at the East Lismore Bowling Club chose local provider, 888 Solar Tek to supply their new solar system over other competitive offers, largely based on the superior technology offered and the great experience one of the members received from 888 Solar Tek on their home solar system. 888 Solar Tek are the leading provider of SolarEdge solar power systems in the Northern Rivers, a technological breakthrough that uses optimizers to ensure every panel operates separately to prevent energy loss to whole strings of panels when one is shaded or damaged. This allows a SolarEdge inverter to produce up to 25% more power than a normal string inverters. With 25 year warranties Solar Edge is competively priced but offers significant life time savings. Here are a few of the advantages available with SolarEdge:

when you get to those speeds you need to let the air mould you without fighting it. “You also need to be in a good body position to start with, I go headfirst, and don’t put any brakes on as even if you put a pinky finger out that will slow you down.” Mr Turner who has been a paramedic on the Gold Coast for the past 16 years said while he is aware of the risks, there is a lot you can do to ensure your safety as a skydiver. “I have unfortunately attended skydiving accidents of some friends who are now all on the mend, but I’ve never been to a skydiving fatality,” he said. “With speed skydiving it’s solo so you are cutting out that risk of entering into other skydivers’ airspace. “Other things that can cause accidents are people trying to excel their experience too quickly and not taking the time to do the preparation. “There can be factors that are outside of your control like the weather, but we prepare and train for that. “You need to have full confidence in your gear as ultimately your parachute is what will save your life and get you to the ground safely so the better you know your equipment the safer you are going to be.” Despite the calculated risks associated with his sport Mr Turner said he is looking forward to reaching triple figures like his nan. “I’m in no rush to die, I am going to live to the ripe old age of triple digits just like my nanna who lived to 102,” Mr Turner said. “Longevity is in the family and I am not going to cut that short, that’s why you take precautions.”

By Megan Albany TWEED LOCAL Shane Turner has a need and a talent for speed having recently set a new male world record for speed skydiving at 490.32 km/hr. The 36-year-old paramedic said he was drawn to parachuting after a knee reconstruction cut off his chances of securing his dream job of becoming a pilot. “I always wanted to do parachuting and then my friends bought me a tandem jump for my 30th birthday and once I did my first jump there was no stopping me,” he said. “Tandem jumps are super fun but you are just falling but when you start skydiving then you are really in control and flying.” While 490.32 km/hr seems fast to a layperson, Mr Turner said it is actually not his top speed. “I have reached speeds in excess of that but that’s the fastest I’ve done in competition. “My personal best is 497 over three seconds with a top speed of 501 km/hr.” The key to reaching top speed when skydiving according to Mr Turner is to be as aerodynamic and relaxed as possible. “Ultimately you want to be relaxed during the ferocity of those speeds as you can just imagine if you were going down the highway at 100 kilometres an hour and you put your arm out that it would rip behind you so it’s important to keep everything in as tight as possible,” he said. “You also have to be relaxed so you can cut through the air while disturbing it as little as possible, like Bruce Lee said, be like water. “Water is the purest aerodynamic form and it falls through the sky in a perfect shape so

THE NSW election is on a knife-edge according to the latest polling and the votes of Murwillumbah and the Tweed region will be vital for deciding the result in the NSW Upper House, according to Independent MP Jeremy Buckingham (pictured). Mr Buckingham was in the Tweed on Tuesday, March 19, to launch his Group “L” ticket for the NSW Upper House. Mr Buckingham quit the Greens party in December last year after the party asked him to step aside as a candidate for the state election. He said in a media statement that he will be joined on the ticket by a strong team of 15 community advocates, coal and coal seam gas activists and water campaigners that he has worked with over the years. “I’m a rogue MP, I’ve set rivers on fire to highlight the dangers of fracking and I plan to light up the election campaign to make sure burning issues like climate change, renewable energy and water are top of the agenda,” he said. “The NSW election promises to be extremely close, meaning votes from communities like

Murwillumbah and the Tweed will be more important than ever. “Our state is at a crossroads and the next State Government will be making critical decisions for our future. “Whichever major party wins, I will hold them to account and push for saving the Darling River, climate action and renewable energy, stronger environmental protection and a fairer society. “I’m standing as an independent for the NSW Upper House and I need the vote and support of people in the Tweed region. The people of NSW need someone in parliament who is a climate warrior, who will expose dishonest dealings and is not afraid of going a bit rogue to get the job done.”

Candidates you may not know on the ballot Nurses demand answers

Sustainable Australia founder William Bourke with Tweed candidate Ron McDonald

Sustainable Australia would stop foreign ownership of land, water and all-natural resources, establish an independent federal commission against corruption, allow no new casinos and “save backyards from developers”. President of Sustainable Australia William Burke will travel to both electorates this week. Paul Collits is standing for the Australian Conservatives in the Lismore electorate and describes himself as a Catholic, father and grandfather and author for Quadrant Online and News Weekly with thirty years’ experience in politics, government (state, local and federal) and universities, specialising in regional economics. Mr Collits said the Australian Conservatives “believe in free markets and limited government” and want the NSW Budget to stay in surplus. “We don’t like the current auction between the major parties, buying votes from Sydney and from regional areas by bribing the electorate with goodies,” Mr Collits told The Weekly. “It doesn’t impress the voters anyway, and it sends the state into debt. “Governments need to take politics out of infrastructure and infrastructure out of politics.” Mr Collits said the Australian Conservatives support entrepreneurs, i nnovat i on a n d e nv iro n m e n t a l protection but don’t believe climate change is a problem. “After all, we like “conserving” things, but the environmental movement has been hijacked by the left and taken into areas which have little to do with practical environmental protection,” he said. “We understand that the climate changes. We just don’t believe it is new, major or dangerous.

“We support preserving the energy advantage that Australia has rather than signalling our virtue to the world while impoverishing our households and businesses.” The electoral ballot draw in the Tweed has favoured the Labor Party with Craig Elliot for Country Labor at number one on the ballot paper, Susie Hearder from the Animal Justice Party is second, the sitting member, the National Party’s Geoff Provest has drawn third spot, Ronald McDonald from Sustainable Australia Party is fourth and Bill Fenelon for the Greens is in fifth spot. In Lismore it was the Nationals who picked up the prime position with Austin Curtin at the top of the ballot paper, Allison Waters from the Animal Justice Party in second, independent candidate Greg Bennett is third, Country Labor candidate Janelle Saffin is fourth, David Taylor from Sustainable Australia is fifth, Green’s candidate Sue Higginson is in sixth spot and Paul Collits from the Australian Conservatives is in the final place on the paper. Voters can either just write the number one next to their preferred candidate or number all the candidates in their order of preference from their favourite at number one.

By Jonathon Howard A CRUCIAL health report that could help boost community nursing numbers across Northern NSW, including the Tweed Shire, has faced significant delays and the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association is demanding to know why. The Tweed Community Nurses branch of the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA) with the support of the Health Services Union (HSU) are preparing to hold a lunchtime meeting today (Thursday, March 21) on the riverbank across the road from The Tweed Hospital car park from 1pm to 1.30pm. A Tweed Heads Community Nurses Branch spokesperson told The Weekly there is also a plan for a simultaneous meeting to occur at Murwillumbah Community Health. “The reason for holding the meeting will be to call on the NSW Government to release the various documents that the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) requires to finalise and release its long-awaited Community Health Review report,” the spokesperson said. “The NNSWLHD community nurses and HSU staff were led to believe that this report would be released in June 2018. “In the meantime, for the last two years, vacant nursing positions have not been recruited and temporary staff have had to endure recurring short-term contracts which impacts on the vital services that community nursing and allied health provides.” Ms Scott said the NSWNMA and HSU have been asking the NNSWLHD to release the report. “However, there has been some reluctance on their part to do so,” she said. “This issue was raised again at a meeting held with management last week and we were informed that they are awaiting release of documents pertaining to the report which is currently sitting with the Ministry of Health.” The Weekly put several questions to NNSWLHD in relation to the health reports which were fielded by NNSWLHD Acting Chief Executive Lynne Weir. “NNSWLHD has undertaken a review of Community Health Services,” Mrs Weir said. “Release of the review document has been extended to allow the LHD to consider several strategic framework documents being developed by the NSW Ministry of Health which relate to community health. “Once the framework documents are available, the LHD review will be finalised and the report will be made available to staff, the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association and the Health Services Union.”

By Jo Kennett TWO NEW parties have entered the race for two crucial electorates in the NSW election on Saturday, March 23. The Australian Conservative Party, headed by Cory Bernadi, is fielding a candidate in the Lismore electorate and Sustainable Australia Party is fielding candidates in both electorates. David Taylor will run for Sustainable Australia in Lismore, while Ronald McDonald will run for the party in the Tweed electorate. A key policy of the Sustainable Australia Party, which counts Dick Smith as its most high-profile member, is to invest in education and skills training for local workers and to create affordable housing by stopping foreign purchases. Other policies include slowing p o p u l at i o n g row t h by c u t t i n g immigration from current levels (200,000 per annum) to the long-term average of 70,000 per annum while maintaining the current annual permanent refugee intake. The party has numerous environmental policies including increasing reduction emission targets substantially, a transition to renewable energy, a moratorium on all fracking and increased habitat protection from farming and clearing and ending old growth forest logging.

Students stage climate rally despite debate from adults ALMOST ONE HUNDRED s t u d e n t s f ro m a c ro s s t h e Tweed took to the streets in Murwillumbah chanting and holding up handmade signs in the hope that their voices would be heard in the climate change debate currently raging in Australian politics. T h e s t u d e n t s c ro s s e d t h e educational divide with representatives from public schools, independent schools, Catholic schools as well as alternative and home schooled students. Students ranged in age from lower primary through to high school students and The Weekly spoke to several senior students to find out why they were driven to protest. “We need to do something now, before it’s too late,” Mt St Patrick student Jim Keogh said.

Mr Keogh’s sense of urgency was echoed by Murwillumbah High School student, Katie McCarthy. “We need to take quick action to change it while we can,” Ms McCarthy said. The overriding feeling among students was for politicians to stop talking and start acting and that it was necessary for young people to be involved. “Problems might come up but we still have to do something, there’s no other option,” Kaspar LembrykWalsh from Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School said. Fellow Lindisfarne student Mali Ealand agreed. “No one else is doing anything so we have to,” she said. While the Education Department had expressed their view that students should not miss school to attend the rally, Wollumbin High student Sid Rainford said he believed

addressing climate change was even more important for young people than education. “What’s the point in going to school if you don’t have a future,” he said. While many children defied Education Department threats of disciplinary action to attend the rally, students from The Small School in Murwillumbah were supported by their teachers and staff in attending the protest. “We are a new democratic small school in Murwillumbah that just started this year and fundamental to our values is giving students more agency over their learning to enable them to feel like they have a say in the world,” The Small School classroom teacher Bindi Pursey said. “We also want them to have some optimism over our complex future and feel like they can create positive solutions. “A lot of our students are new to education in a group setting so we only participated after community consultation with parents, staff and students. “Our students loved participating and we are hoping that this activity will lead to deeper learning around climate change and their personal environmental responsibility.” While other independent schools did not actively encourage participation in the rally, many such as Mt St Patrick Catholic College, drew the line at prohibiting students from attending. “We have an environmental group at the school and a number of students went to the leader of that group and expressed a wish to be

part of the protest, which they also took part in last year,” Principal of Mt St Patrick Catholic College, Paul Clohesy said. “I didn’t say yes or no but I really left that up to parents if they wanted to support their child in attending the protest,” he said. “We didn’t promote it, we just let parents have a say and lots of parents wouldn’t have wanted their children to be part of it and that’s their prerogative.”

As a Catholic school, Principal Clohesy said that advocacy was important for the community but that individuals needed to be allowed to choose what they advocated for. “I think if kids are really passionate about a cause then advocacy is something that’s really important,” he said. “We talk about social justice at Catholic schools and looking after those less fortunate and there’s advocacy in that.”

Uki celebrates new community parkland

By Megan Albany FOUR YEARS ago, a group of Uki locals got together to lobby for a community environmental facility along the banks of the Tweed River. This week, the community will officially sign the license for the land which was historically an overnight holding facility for cattle on their way to the Murwillumbah cattle yards. The land, which was licensed to the Uki and District Residents Association, is being managed by an environmental facility subgroup co-ordinated by local architect Greg O’Donnell. To celebrate the signing of the licensing agreement the group are holding an Equinox Celebration this Saturday, March 23, between 5pm and 8pm at the parkland between Smiths Creek Bridge and Uki beside the Tweed River. “Our hope is that everyone will come in and use the facility to express their relationship with nature and the community,” Mr O’Donnell said. “Whether that’s planting trees or having a place where people can run community or nature-based workshops to learn how to care for the environment.” Mr O’Donnell said the equinox is the time when day and night are of equal length and traditionally people thought that was a good time to begin new ventures or make personal changes in your life. “So it is timely that it is coinciding with the licence being granted,” he said. The celebrations will include workshops on bush tucker, regeneration and composting. “The composting workshop is being run by a local who goes by the name of Karen Dawson ‘the compost queen’,” laughs Mr O’Donnell. “She actually gets dressed up in a fairy superhero outfit to make it great fun for children and adults. “Composting is actually a bit of a fine art and if you just put garden scraps in your compost might not take off that well.

“Adding grass clippings can be really helpful as they are very rich in nitrogen and even cardboard and paper can help. “It’s all about getting the right balance.” Mr O’Donnell said he hoped the facility would be used and enjoyed by the whole community. “It’s a place for gathering and sharing and running community groups such as men’s sheds, children’s activities and hands on workshops in permaculture and biodynamics,” he said. “It’s very important to bring the community together in a non-profit environment that forms bonds and that is our biggest form of resilience. “With climate change and the drier climatic conditions coming southward and being impacted by water mining we need to learn resilience to deal with both human and natural factors.” The gathering will also be a fundraiser with prizes supplied by Mavis’s Kitchen, the Uki Fair Trade Shop and local artist Heather McClelland. Mr O’Donnell said the celebration will end with a closing ceremony to honour the custodianship of traditional owners and of the past, present and future gatherings that have taken place on the site. Bring finger food to share for an evening meal, musical instruments for a community jam session, a rug or chair to sit on and a gold coin donation for the Community Gardens.

The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl zone one finalists at the Murwillumbah Showgrounds

Showgirl Zone One final a success

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH SHOWGROUNDS and the Civic Centre hosted The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Zone One Final on Saturday, March 16, with more than 180 people in attendance at the dinner event. Showgirls from across the Northern Rivers and Northern NSW converged on Murwillumbah for the big event with the naming of the two ladies to attend the Sydney Royal Show from April 12 to April 23. Murwillumbah Showgirl Delani O'Brien was in hot contention for the coveted position, but tough competition came from the eventual winner Ashleigh Little from Kyogle and Elizabeth Jackson from Kempsey. The judges including Agricultural Society Council of NSW Vice President Peter Gooch, The Land Journalist Jamie Brown and 2016 The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Grace Eppelstun. Event MC Carol Robinson said it was a privilege to be given the opportunity to MC The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Zone 1 Final. “This was my first-time volunteering with the Tweed River Agricultural Society and the Showgirl event,” she said.

“It opened my eyes to this historic organisation of young women who, with the support from family and friends, do their best to make positive changes within their rural NSW town. “The are all role models leading the way for generations to come.” Ms Robinson said it was “wonderful to spend time with the 13 ambitious young women who were representing their Agricultural Society”. “Listening to the speeches about their vision for the future and ideas on needed charities were inspiring,” she said. “Their families must have been very proud. “I strongly encourage young women to be part of this event in the future as the competition provides personal development to all the contestants. “Congratulations to Belinda Grace for coordinating the event which attracted many families to Murwillumbah from as far away as Winners: Ashleigh Little Gloucester.” and Elizabeth Jackson

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

The rich history of the Cudgen Plateau By Jonathon Howard and Jo Kennett THE CUDGEN Plateau has one of the richest histories in the Tweed Shire. The Weekly has this week compiled a historical breakdown of events that have shaped and influenced Cudgen and what it might look like in the future. During the writing of this article The Weekly consulted with several local resources and local identities including former Tweed Shire Councillor (1964 to 2005) Max Boyd AM and the Julius family. Cudgen is the original homeland of the Goodjinburra clan, part of the Minyangbal tribe of the Bundjalung Nation. Cudgen derives from “Goodjin” which means ‘red’ and related to the rich volcanic soil and red ochre clay found on the plateau and used in traditional ceremonies. Ecologist John Hunter wrote in The Fragile Edge, A Natural History of the Tweed Coast, that before the plateau was cleared the subtropical rainforest on the Cudgen plateau “would have been glorious, absolutely glorious” and “would have been the likes of a rainforest we’ll never see again”. What must have been an idyllic existence for the first peoples was forever changed, when in 1823 John Oxley stumbled upon the entrance to the Tweed River which earlier European explorers had missed.

Collier Street, Cudgen

From 1929, timber cutters began converging on the plateau and within 50 years of European settlement it is estimated that around 90 per cent of Tweed and Brunswick Aborigines had died from diseases brought in by the Europeans - such as smallpox and measles. Vast swathes of land were cleared for the stock and crops of the settlers, including the lush vine and flower-clad foliage filled with palms and hoop pines on the plateau which were felled by timber cutters after cedar stocks were exhausted. In 1850, pioneer cedar cutter Thomas Boyd, great grandfather of Max Boyd, built the first hotel in the Tweed known as Tom Boyd’s Halfway House at Cudgen Wharf (now Chinderah). The American Civil War had seen a demand for new sources of

The tram that transported sugar cane cut by hand at Cudgen to Condong Sugar Mill

sugar cane in the late 1860s Sydney horticulturist William Guilfoyle was the first to arrive at Cudgen to clear the plateau and create the first sugar plantation. He also established a tropical nursery growing some of the most exotic and rare species in the world like date palms, oranges, bananas, pineapples, mangoes and camellias. William Julius had arrived in Australia from St Kitts in the West Indies and came north from Sydney around 1875, looking for rich friable volcanic land that would grow a successful sugar cane crop like his home island. Mr Julius purchased land from Henry Clarke and hired around 200 South Sea Islanders to Cudgen to clear and plant the cane. He then leased the islander’s small lots to grow sugar cane. Many islanders had been tricked and kidnapped by ‘Blackbirders’ and transported to work in the sugar cane plantations of Queensland as virtual slaves. Jack Watego was 13 when he was kidnapped from Vanuatu and sent to Queensland to work as a slave. The islanders were called ‘kanakas’ by their white bosses, a term they resented which meant ‘boy’. Mr Watego was supposed to be paid six pounds a year but at the end of his three-year contract he received nothing. Jack, afraid that if he tried to return home he would be tricked into slavery again, decided to head south where he had heard there were better working conditions. He joined the workforce - which later swelled to 500 - at Willian Julius’ farm where he was fed, given a bed, a tent and paid, eventually settling down with his own family. Mr Julius, had built the first commercial sugar mill in the Tweed in the late 1870s, which was located just near the current Cudgen traffic lights (corner of Tweed Coast Road and Cudgen Road), which is today inside the boundary of the property beside the proposed Cudgen hospital site and was recently sold to IRBS1 for $4.51 million. In 1882, Mr Julius went into partnership with John Robb and J Casey. Mr Robb had been a railway contractor and built tramlines connecting the Cudgen cane fields to the mill and Chinderah Wharf. By 1891, Cudgen had a school, two hotels, a store, a police station, a butcher and a baker. By 1892, Mr Julius sold to Mr Robb and left the area, though some family members remained behind and still farm the plateau today. In 1895, a newspaper article talked about the Cudgen hills being covered in thousands of acres of cane fields. By the early 1900s, labour laws had changed to favour white Australians and many islanders were sent back to their homelands. Labour costs increased and the white Australian workers weren’t considered as good as the islanders and in the early 1900s laws had changed so Mr Watego was no longer allowed to work the cane and headed to the Byron area looking for other work. Like many of the descendants of the original settlers, Mr Julius’ son Frank farmed at Cudgen until his death in 1964 when his children took over.

In 1964, Max Boyd AM began his career as a Tweed Shire Councillor and said he started to campaign to retain farming on the Cudgen plateau. Mr Boyd said increased interest from developers in the Cudgen plateau had surfaced, as coastal living was now becoming popular and surrounding areas such as the Gold Coast (known as the South Coast until 1958) was booming. Long-time local Cudgen farmer Lynn Paddon told The Weekly that the Kingscliff High School was opened in 1986. That soon brought about the Kingscliff TAFE, which was opened in 1999. Mrs Paddon said the site on which the TAFE is located was still considered quality farmland, but there was not much local opposition to the TAFE development as farmers had less fear of mass development then and believed it would be the only site developed. “As the Kingscliff High School had been established in the mid ‘80s, there was not much opposition to the TAFE development because it was an extension of the learning environment around the site,” she said. “The high school was a good feed in to TAFE, even now, as the school and TAFE work closely.” Mr Boyd said land had originally been set aside for a TAFE college at Tweed Heads, but the area was flood-prone. The state member for Murwillumbah at the time told Council if they didn’t agree to it moving to its current site on the Cudgen plateau it would be lost. The college was purposely built hard against the Kingscliff High School boundary to preserve as much of the red soil as possible, according to Mr Boyd. “That land doesn’t get affected by droughts and it’s frost-free,” he said. Mr Boyd said there were several attempts to have the Cudgen plateau rezoned for development including a Tweed campus of Southern Cross University. In the late 1990s, the Anglican Church applied to change the zoning of farmland at Cudgen to build a church and school. “The Anglican Church needed a site for a new church, school, hall and residence and Council planners were pressured to have Cudgen farmland land rezoned for the church,” Mr Boyd said. “In 1994, the Anglican Church took legal action against Council and lost, appealed and lost again.” Mr Boyd was criticised for his defence of the farmland by the Bishop of Grafton and a giant wooden cross was erected on the site in protest. In 2002, work began on The N o r t h e r n R ive r s Fa r m l a n d Protection Project, which ultimately led to the rezoning of the Cudgen plateau to State Significant Farmland (SSF). The project was co-ordinated by the NSW Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR), in partnership with the Department of Primary Industries and used soil landscape mapping to determine which areas should be classified as SSF. According to the project’s final report, protection of the north coast’s farmland had been a long-

term government initiative that was first identified in the North Coast Urban Planning Strategy. Only soil that was highly fertile, with a slope of less than 15 per cent, to a depth of at least one metre, was well drained and flood free, and had less than 10 per cent rock outcrop could be classified as SSF. In the first half of 2003, draft maps and planning rules were released to the community and local and state governments for consultation. Then in January 2004, an interim Section 117 Direction under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act was issued by the Minister for Planning to protect the farmland that was mapped as SSF. Developers had already been e ag e r ly e y e i n g l a n d o n t h e Cudgen plateau at this point, with Queensland developer Usher Powell reportedly paying $1.35 million for 14 hectares in May 2002. A ministerial direction remains in place entitled ‘Farmland of State and Regional Significance on the NSW Far North Coast’ and states that land identified as SSF cannot be rezoned for urban or rural residential purposes. The direction states its aim is to ensure “the best agricultural land will be available for current and future generations to grow food and fibre, to provide more certainty on the status of the best agricultural land, thereby assisting councils with their local strategic settlement planning, and to reduce land use conflict arising between agricultural use and non-agricultural use of farmland as caused by urban encroachment into farming areas”. Based on the criteria the Cudgen plateau’s highly fertile red Krasnozem soil type gave the plateau the SSF zoning. The project recommended that SSF must comprise a minimum continuous area of 500 hectares, with the Cudgen plateau comprising 554 hectares currently. In August 2003, the Kingscliff Land Company was registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)

and would eventually make several attempts to develop their SSF on the Cudgen plateau. The Kingscliff Land Company purchased 48 hectares of farmland on Cudgen Road (located opposite the recently sold site at the corner of Tweed Coast Road and Cudgen Road) in November 2003 from former Tweed Shire councillor (1991-2005) Lynne Beck’s mother with local media reports of a sale price of $9.5 million. Both Mrs Beck and her husband Don Beck, former Member for Murwillumbah (1988-1999), are directors of Kingscliff Land Company, along with Greg Stephen, Maroun Stephen and Robert Coward of Armidale. In October 2005, it was reported in local media, Coles Myer had a $4.5 million mortgage over the Kingscliff Land Company’s 48 hectares of SSF, which they had hoped to develop into a shopping centre and residential development. According to mortgage documents o b t a i n e d by t h e Au s t ra l i a n newspaper in November 2005, Lynne Beck and her sisters were allegedly set to be paid $5 million if the land was rezoned. The $5 million would be repaid if “any development consent, rezoning or material change of use of the land to allow part of the property” to be used for “a supermarket or similar retail development with a floor area of 2700 metres square” and “residential development of 200 dwellings or home units”. Tweed Shire Councillors were dismissed in 2005 before a rezoning review could be undertaken for the Coles proposal with Coles’ interest in the site withdrawn in 2009. The councillors were dismissed following an inquiry into the 2004 election which found that several “independent” pro-development candidates had received political donations from Tweed Directions, an organisation which raised funds from property developers and donated $165,060 to candidates, according to electoral declarations.

The rich history of the Cudgen Plateau In 2006, the Kingscliff Land Company submitted an application to Tweed Shire Council to rezone 116 hectares of State Significant Farmland rural land at Cudgen to urban expansion land, which included the Kingscliff Land Company’s 48 hectare share which included seven other blocks of SSF including 121-147 Tweed Coast Road, that was recently offered by the land owner to the State Government for free to develop the Tweed Valley Hospital. An Agricultural Land Capability Assessment for the Kingscliff Land Company argued there were only small fragmented areas of reasonable quality agricultural land and said the land was incorrectly classified as SSF. In 2008, 26 Cudgen farmers submitted a petition to Tweed Shire Council and the State Government to overturn the State Significant Farmland zoning of their land and rezone the land as residential.

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

NSW VOTES 2019 Q&A with candidates IT’S ALMOST time to cast your votes in the 2018 NSW State Government Election to decide who will be our State MPs across the Lismore and Tweed electorates. The Weekly has been asking candidates the important questions shaping their respective electorates during the past five weeks. So before you venture down for a democracy sausage and to cast your vote, ensure you have all the information you need. This week we launch into our final series of candidate questions and they’re the hardest ones yet: 1. Do you support the Tweed Valley Hospital at the proposed Cudgen site or would you support the hospital at Kings Forest, or another site not specified? 2. What do you believe are the three biggest issues facing the Tweed and Lismore electorates respectively? 3. Do you believe enough is being done to address Tweed and Lismore wildlife concerns such as koala habitats? 4. Do you believe climate change is an area that the elected State Government could do more to address?. 5. What are your hopes for the future of the Lismore and Tweed electorates under the next government?

Animal Justice Party candidate for Tweed Susie Hearder said she does not support building the hospital at Cudgen or Kings Forest. (Q1) “It needs to stay at its current location and be rebuilt and expanded there ASAP,” she said. (Q2) “A new hospital. Retaining our identity as a clean green naturebased tourism destination distinct from the Gold Coast. “Protecting our koalas, forests, waterways including underground water, our national parks and far ming land and nurturing sustainable industries. (Q3) “No, 99 per cent of koala habitat on private land is not protected and koala habitat is being destroyed in our public forests. We need to end deforestation and protect all koala habitat and ensure wildlife corridors, and safe passages over/under roads for our wildlife. (Q4) “Stop subsidies to fossil fuels and industries such as animal agriculture that contribute to climate change; encourage renewable and sustainable industries and transport. (Q5) “Koalas, wildlife and tourism flourishing, action on climate change, unique assets protected, transparent development approved by the community and safe housing for all.”

Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot said (Q1) “Labor will build a new $534 million hospital at Kings Forest and keep the current Tweed Hospital in public hands for health and community services”. (Q2)“Labor will fix the frontline services cut under the Nationals by delivering 31 extra police, a new public hospital at Kings Forest and a high school at Pottsville,” he said. (Q3)“A Daley Labor government will hold a Koala summit and will bring together experts to design and deliver an effective recovery plan across the state. (Q4)“Yes. You just can’t trust the Nationals on climate change. Labor will put downward pressure on power prices by re-regulating our electricity network and investing in renewable energy. (Q5)“A Daley Labor Government will invest in the regions unlike Geoff Provest who is splurging $2.2 billion on two stadiums in Sydney, it’s clear that under the Nationals you don’t count. Labor will put people first.” The Greens c a n d i d a t e fo r Tw e e d B i l l Fe n e l o n s a i d he supports “retaining and ex p a n d in g t h e

current hospital in line with the established Tweed Heads Hospital Redevelopment Masterplan 2013”. (Q1)“This option was acclaimed as a win-win for the community – Tweed residents would not lose their hospital, the state significant farmland at Cudgen would be preserved, and beachside villages would be protected from overdevelopment,” he said. (Q2)“The three biggest issues facing the Tweed electorate are lack of social and affordable housing, exploitation of our natural resources from inappropriate development, and an unsustainable economy that fails to provide jobs based on a low emissions future. (Q3)“I strongly oppose the NSW LNP Government’s weakened environmental laws which allow for devastating deforestation of koala habitat,” he said. “The major parties are failing our koalas. (Q4)“NSW Greens have an effective climate change policy with a plan to achieve 100 per cent renewables by 2030 and zero emissions by 2040. (Q5)“If elected, I will oppose corporate political donations that lead to destruction of our unique, pristine environment and lifestyle. The Tweed is the best place in the world, and I’m dedicated to ensuring it stays that way.”

Incumbent Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said (Q1) “Cudgen has been purchased, remediated, rezoned and i s awa i t i n g DA approval so building can commence”. “To support any alternative would delay this urgently needed infrastructure by years,” he said. (Q2)“Health services, housing and homelessness, policing,. ( Q 3 ) “ We h av e p u r c h a s e d additional land for nature reserves and koala corridors and more will be done to protect habitat and wildlife. (Q4)“NSW cannot address climate change in isolation but must do this this as part of a coordinated national effort. (Q5)“We have put in the hard work to bring NSW back to a sound financial position. “Our bottom line shows $8 billion credit, with historically low unemployment of 3.9 per cent. “We have a massive capital works program for schools, hospitals, roads, rail, police stations, sports facilities and more- around $90 billion – all without going into deficit. “There is record investment for more teachers, doctors, nurses and police - the Nationals in government have made this happen and Tweed is now getting the rewards.”

NSW VOTES 2019 Q&A with candidates

The Greens candidate for Lismore Sue Higginson said (Q1) “there is no doubt the Tweed needs a new hospital”. “It is absurd that we would be taking State Significant Farmland out of production at a time when are region is being identified as necessary for our state’s future food security,” she said. “We need to protect our farmlands. Kings Forest is also not an appropriate site for a hospital.” (Q2)“Environment - this includes addressing climate change, rebuilding our public sector - the privatisation of our services is not working and building a strong sustainable regional economy. (Q3)“The science and evidence is clear, koalas are predicted to become extinct by 2050 unless we do things differently. “The cost of losing our koalas is too high. My party has a clear plan on how to recover our koala populations back from the brink of extinction. (Q4)“The State Government has a responsibility and obligation to address climate change. “It is the State Government’s responsibility to embrace the present opportunities for a just transition from the reliance on fossil fuels to a renewable economy before we miss out. (Q5)“If I am elected to represent the good people of the Lismore electorate I will work to make our

region grow and shine as the jewel in the crown of NSW. “I have a clear vision that through leveraging our clean green brand and our kind and diverse communities we can build a sustainable regional economy, do politics differently and we can lead the way forward.” Nationals candidate for Lismore Austin Curtin said he (Q1) “supports the Cudgen site i n d e p e n d e n t ly selected by NSW Health Infrastructure”. “Only the Nationals can be trusted to deliver new and upgraded hospitals,” he said. (Q2)“Making sure our young people have a strong future, delivering more social housing and by preventing more catastrophic flood disasters. (Q3)“We can always do more, the NSW Nationals have committed to funding local koala projects to bring more awareness to the koala population on the north coast. (Q4)“Climate change is something that we all need to address, not just government. “We can’t simply legislate a better planet, we have to all make the conscious effort to change our lifestyles. (Q5)“A lot has been achieved for the Lismore electorate with the NSW Nationals in Government. “They repaired the budget mess left by Labor, started reinvesting into infrastructure in regional

NSW and now I want to see those frontline services increased and more opportunity provided to our community.” Animal Justice Party candidate for Lismore Alison Waters said (Q1) she supports “the redevelopment of The Tweed Hospital at its current site”. (Q2)“Climate change, environmental degradation and a lack of affordable housing,” she said. (Q3)“No. Logging in native forests should cease immediately and we must implement reforestation and rewilding where possible. “Moreover, the protection of marine habitats is of vital importance. (Q4)“Yes, a newly elected NSW government must acknowledge the contribution of animal agriculture to climate change and environmental degradation. “Mitigation includes funding for farmers to transition to plantbased agricultural industries. (Q5)“I truly hope a newly elected government is committed to real action on climate change, protection of native forests, freeing hens from battery cages, abolishing greyhound racing, the implementation of an Independent Animal Protection Agency, the expansion of social housing, the implementation of nurse-to-patient ratios, reducing incarceration rates of Aboriginal

MASSIVE

people and increasing funding for domestic violence caseworkers.” Labor candidate for Lismore Janelle Saffin said (Q1) “locals got it right, King’s Forest”. (Q2)“Lack of effective representation, priorities ignored and environment repair. (Q3)“A Daley Labor Government will introduce NSW’s first renewable energy target, and make climate change centre of its decision-making. (Q4)“To strengthen our wonderful lifestyle, leave a healthier, cleaner natural environment to our kids and grandkids; strong local economy powered by cheaper/ cleaner solar energy; educational opportunities; local jobs and better health and hospital services; affordable housing. If elected I expect to deliver these frontline actions. Independent candidate for Lismore Greg Bennett said (Q1) “the hospital site is outside the Lismore electorate I would need to discuss this with the new Tweed member/ community”. (Q2)“A 24-hour Murwillumbah Police Station, the poor condition of the rural road network, a rail connection to Gold Coast/ Brisbane.

(Q3)“The issue in not the amount of habitat but access to it. “Failure to properly manage National Parks has resulted in koalas being driven from these areas by bushfire, lantana and wild dogs. (Q4)“I believe that the core responsibility of Government is to provide an affordable, reliable electricity supply. “To this end I support the proven renewable hydroelectric and believe that we must update to the latest High-Efficiency, Low-Emissions Coal (HELE) coal technology. (Q5)“End the big spend on Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney and give us our fair share.” WHERE TO VOTE: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

New vision raised for Visitor Info Centres

“Across 2007-2017 it was 56 per cent of visitation when compared with Murwillumbah and in 2017 was 64 per cent.” “This report recommends that The Tweed Tourism Co explores the benefits of the closure of the Tweed Heads VIC in the short term and works with partners and Tweed Shire Council (TSC) to write a business case to scope the features of, the resources needed and operational aspects and costs of establishing a VIC at Point Danger and the establishment of a Mobile VIC.” Third on the list of recommendations from Tweed Tourism Co, was to leave Kingscliff VIC as it is “noting the potential for upgraded services”. The fourth and final recommendation from Tweed Tourism Co is to establish a Mobile Visitor Information Centre in the form of a trailer and/or vehicle. The VIC report dentified that the destination’s tourism visitation has grown by 34 per cent from 2008 to 2017. “This gap is accentuated by the 2017 flood effect but clearly visitor services are unaligned with the apparent uplift in overall visitation,” the report read. “This demands analysis of the relevance of, and future models for, sustainable VICs in the Tweed. For the proportion of VIC visitation to overall Tweed visitation, Tweed Heads received 14 per cent, Murwillumbah 8 per cent and Kingscliff 5 per cent (in 2018).”

OUR FUTURE READY REGION PLAN I’m a farmer, a lawyer, and a grandmother. I’ve taken on coal and CSG companies on behalf of communities and won. My party doesn’t accept corporate donations, so I owe no favours. I will represent you.

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE Councillors are set to vote on a recommendation by the Tweed Tourism Company to reinvigorate the Tweed’s Visitor Information Centres with a visitor report highlighting two of the three sites could do with a change of vision. Tweed Tourism Co’s executive team wrote to Tweed Shire Councillors calling for a change from the status quo and made several suggestions that could breathe new life into the Visitor Information Centre experience. The first of four suggestions is a recommendation to move Murwillumbah’s Visitor Information Centre (VIC) into a partnership with the Tweed Regional Museum at 2 Queensland Road. The report recommends that Tweed Tourism Co explores the benefits of the closure of the Murwillumbah VIC in the short term and works with partners and council to write a business case for partnering with the Tweed Regional Museum on the inclusion of a small space for a VIC and potential sharing of staff. “Additionally, it recommends that the Tweed Tourism Co explores the benefits of the closure of the Murwillumbah VIC in the short term and works with partners and council to write a business case on relocating to the former VIC site and securing suitable co-tenants,” the report reads. Tweed Tourism Co said the Tweed Head VIC, which has suffered from the lowest percentage of visitation, is recommended for a partnership with Council at Point Danger, Duranbah. The report highlighted that the Tweeds Heads VIC has had a nine per cent increase in VIC visitation numbers between 2007 and 2017 “which is very modest”. “It has numerous and conspicuous problems,” the report reads.

Success partnering youth with employers Nationals on the attack

One of the training program's success stories, Caleb Rigby at Brothers Cafe

Business owner Brad Butson said the experience was a mutually beneficial one. “Caleb gained valuable experience, and utilised the knowledge and skills gained through the Community Connections Program and applied this during his work experience,” Mr Butson said. “Caleb worked hard and displayed his commitment to succeed.” For Caleb Rigby, the program was life changing. “This program was amazing,” Mr Rigby said. “They are a great business and employer and I would never of had a chance to get my foot in the door with them if it wasn’t for Community Connections. “After the program and training me ‘inhouse’ they offered me paid employment. “This made a huge difference in my life.” Mr Hitchcock said that Mr Rigby’s experience was a good example of the importance of putting the right person with the most appropriate employer.

“We want to set them up to succeed so the employers are aware of each individual young person’s strengths and weaknesses so that everyone gets the most out of the opportunity as possible,” he said. Mr Hitchcock said they are currently looking for employers in the Tweed area willing to take on youth from the upcoming intake. “It can be a very rewarding experience for employers, it’s a huge journey for these young people who have often not worked or done any training outside of the traditional school environment,” he said. The Community Connections Program is for young people aged 15-19 years who are not working or currently studying full time. Depending on eligibility, the training is available at no cost. The next program commences in April. For more information contact Chris Hitchcock, Cabarita Youth Service on 0423 872 870.

By Jonathon Howard MEMBER FOR Tweed Geoff Provest says NSW Labor have launched a “cost of living attack on North Coast seniors” which he says was revealed in Labor’s budget impact statement released on Monday, March 18. Mr Provest said he condemned Labor for the “unprecedented attack”, which he said “unfairly targets seniors and retirees with a new tax on retirement villages, increased emergency services levy and scrapping plans for a Regional Senior Travel Card, to name a few”. However, Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot has refuted Mr Provest’s claims labelling his comments as “another example of a desperate attack from the Nationals just days out from the election”. Mr Provest said the increased cost of living measures which he said Labor is planning to impose include Retirement Village Tax – a new levy on retirement villages, Increasing Emergency Services Levy – on home and contents insurance, Strata Tax – a levy on strata and community schemes, Scrapping the Electricity Rebate - $200 out of pocket for self-funded retirees and Scrapping plans for the Regional Seniors Travel Card $250 no longer available to seniors for travel. “Increasing the cost of living for seniors is just plain wrong and needs to be stopped,” Mr Provest said. “We should be looking for more ways to ease the cost of living for retirees, not more ways to steal the pennies from their purse. “Labor has hidden these charges and taxes from the public in the hope that they won’t notice, it’s disgusting and shameful.” Mr Elliot said “all existing rebates will continue under Labor”. “It is the Liberals and Nationals who sold our electricity which has seen our electricity bills soar by 60 per cent,” Mr Elliot said. “It’s the Liberals and Nationals who are splurging $2.2 billion on Sydney stadiums instead of stopping overdevelopment and putting the seniors of Tweed first.”

By Megan Albany AFTER JOINING forces in 2017, Cabarita Youth Service and Connect Youth Engagement Services are once again coming together to tackle youth unemployment and disengagement in the Tweed. Following on from the success of their 2018 program the combined youth services are offering a training program consisting of work experience with local employers and a TAFE Cert II in Hospitality. “This is the third time we’ve run the program and last year out of the ten we put through the program, seven of them were kept on in some capacity or were engaged in further training at the end,” Chris Hitchcock from Cabarita Youth Service said. As part of the certificate, students will receive training as baristas and receive their Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) accreditation as well as participating in work readiness and self confidence workshops. Mr Hitchcock said the training provided an opportunity for young people to meet with employers in a supportive environment. “We’ve found some good community minded employers who are willing to be part of the program and, provided the young person is reliable and suitable, they will likely be kept on after the training.” The training is designed to be portable to other employers, according to Mr Hitchcock, with participants receiving in-house, real world training. One of last year’s participants Caleb Rigney was partnered with Brothers Café, Restaurant and Bar in Kingscliff.

Father and son after the shave Widespan Sheds

Group photo after a big effort fundraising

Thursday March 21, 2019

TWEED SHIRE residents have once again thrown their support behind the annual World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure on Saturday, March 16, with thousands-of-dollars raised to help fight leukaemia. Courthouse Hotell in conjunction with Steve and his son Dylan from Widespan Sheds, hosted a special shave off which attracted several local business owners and operators as well as few locals. “Total donations on the night were $3,041.45 with more to come from the World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure website,” Steve said. Steve said he wanted to extend a big thank you to local businesses and residents who helped brave the shave or colour for a good cause. Major sponsors included Widespan Sheds, Murwillumbah Hire, JH Williams, Spinners Automotive, Sunnyside Meats, Bon Bon Salon, Courthouse Hotel and Sea Kingscliff Properties. Major donations were also made by Rawson Plumbing, Ambrosia Contracting, Not So Hot Airconditioning and Peter Campbell of Dungay. Steve and Dylan said they would also like to thank Jennifer Wallace at Bon Bon Salon as the chief hairdresser, Courthouse Hotel management and staff members, Christa, Shanea and Tanille Andrews for selling raffle tickets and assisting with the face painting, Jordan and Kelsey Dickinson for the face painting, the amazing MC Brian Andrews and all those who came to support the night. Plenty of other locations also hosted a World’s Greatest Shave event including Tyalgum Hotel, who helped Steve Guinea raised around $2,500. “He shaved his beard and hair, waxed his chest and eyebrows,” Steve’s wife Sarah told The Weekly. “There’s still a raffle today (Monday, March 18) to go towards it at the Tyalgum Hotel. “Our children had turns at the clippers and waxing as well.”

SET NO LIMITS Celebrating Seniors

A heart-felt message to New Zealand

Mr. Property Services’ CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. Property Services was established in 2008 to offer a professional and dedicated service at reasonable rates to the ‘Buyers’ and ‘Sellers’ of manufactured homes located in Lifestyle Villages and Residential Parks in the Tweed Valley and the southern tip of the Queensland Gold Coast. New Laws commenced on the 1st November 2015 The Law applying to homeowners in Caravan Parks, Residential Parks and Manufactured Home Estates has changed effective from the 1/11/2015. The Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 has replaced the Residential Parks Act 1998. One of the significant changes that the Residential Land Lease Communities Act 2013 has introduced concerns “Additional Occupants” moving into a home. Legislation now recognises the changes occurring in the make-up of families. New provisions make it easier for additional occupants to move into a home.

By Jonathon Howard A HEART-FELT response to the Christchurch massacre was sent from the All Saints Anglican Church in Uki and Murwillumbah this week with special prayers going out to our New Zealand comrades. Reverend Dr John Tyman wrote to The Weekly and said: “like most, sadly not all, Australians we were horrified to learn of the massacre of the innocents at prayer on Friday - in Christchurch of all places”. “The following Sunday we included special prayers for those there burdened by pain and grief,” Rev Tyman said. ‘In the Tweed Valley there are many compassionate souls who have supported our efforts to minister to refugees (most of them Muslims) who are held in community detention in Southern Queensland. “Many of us have actually formed close friendships with several of these families and are especially mindful of the pain they must feel at this time.” Rev Tyman said during the Sunday service they held prayers for our Muslim brothers and sisters, both in Australia and in New Zealand. “As a focus to our thoughts, and as a symbol of Islamic spirituality, we used a Muslim prayer mat which was given to me when I was travelling in Egypt,” he said. “I told my guide that I wanted a prayer mat that I could use in the programs I then offered in schools throughout Easter in Australia, that promoted racial tolerance and cross-cultural understanding. “He dashed off and bought the best one he could buy, and he refused payment.”

Rev Tyman said on either side of the mat he positioned candles that are normally placed on the altar. “But we did not light them, symbolising the darkness which had enveloped Christchurch, and Christ’s church,” he said. “The one candle we did light was that within the pottery figurine that symbolises our fellowship, a circle of friends looking to the Light. “Each Sunday we ask any visitors present to light this candle as a sign that they are welcomed in this comment. “On that Sunday it was light in remembrance of those who had died in Christchurch."

A congregation at Uki have sent a message of support and hope to New Zealand

Just for Seniors 29

“There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart."

Legally blind and launching first book By Megan Albany AT EIGHTY there is no stopping Gladys Barclay Bow (pictured) who recently launched her literary career, publishing her first novel, Threads in a Tartan Web. The novel is part of a planned trilogy that follows a family from the Scottish island of Arran to the Glasgow slums against the backdrop of the industrial revolution. Ms Barclay Bow, who is now legally blind, said she would not have been able to complete the work without the assistance of her At Home Support personal care assistant Terry Baker. Mr Baker was assigned to Ms Barclay Bow to assist with her vision impairment by aged support service provider Bolton Clarke Tweed Heads. “Terry was a schoolmaster who came to assist me on a Monday and he helped me to edit the book, he was invaluable and he’s been like a family friend,” Ms Barclay Bow said. While this is her first novel, Ms Barclay Bow is not new to the art of putting pen to paper. “Even though this is my first novel I’ve been writing for years, I used to be in a little community theatre group years ago and I wrote a lot of comedy plays and skits for it.” Born and raised in Glasgow, Ms Barclay Bow, who raised six children before moving to Australia in the 1980s, said her novel has been a labour of love, which she started while caring for her husband. “My husband took sick and I cared for him for ten years and so I thought I’d start a novel to give me something to do. “As my husband got sicker we sold up our house in Mt Tamborine and took him all over the world to everywhere he wanted to go.

“I started the novel on one of our trips on a cruise - I was sitting up on a deck and I just started writing.” The novel was five years in the making and entailed extensive research into Scottish clans in the 19th century. “There is a historical side to the story but what we don’t know exactly is how people managed to get through these hard times emotionally,” she said. “I tried to put myself into their shoes. “When they cleared the Scottish highlands a lot of people were sent to colonise different countries, but this novel is about a family who decided to stay in Glasglow in the absolutely terrible conditions at the time.” Despite enjoying her travels with her husband, Ms Barclay Bow said that the decade she spent caring for him was also tinged with a sense of sadness that comes through in her writing. “Nursing my husband before he died brought a lot of sadness so I was able to use that to construct sadness in my characters and I also put in happy moments. “It’s not a little old lady book I can assure you, it is a bit naughty in parts as there is a love story but my family read it and they loved it.” Threads in a Tartan Web is available for sale online in paperback or on Kindle.

Is Diabetes Getting On Your Nerves? Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases amongst Australian seniors, with the ABS reporting that one in six people over 65 are affected (this rate has doubled in the past two decades). It is the seventh leading cause of death in Australia and is a major cause of pain and disability. Much is reported about diabetes; yet its neurological toll on sufferers is still widely unrecognised. Diabetes results in a dramatically increased risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, which can cause a ‘domino effect’ on the body’s central and peripheral nervous systems. It can also cause dementia (“vascular cognitive impairment”). Peripheral ner ve damage is a major complic ation of diabetes. This may cause pins & needles, numbness, tingling, “burning” pain in the feet and poor balance due to accelerated ageing of the body’s longest nerves. Foot pain often makes barefoot walking painful and burning pain may turn night-time attempts to sleep into misery. Diabetics also often experience muscle pain with exercise,

preventing exercise such as with golf, tennis and bowls. The good news is that early diagnosis, medical interventions and lifestyle changes (especially weight-loss and exercise) can greatly relieve symptoms and also improve long-term outcomes. Proper testing is important – not simply to identify the diabetes itself, but also to pinpoint any related nerve damage and monitor progress. Corbett Neurophysiology Services (CNS) provides bulk-billed, premium-quality nerve testing (NCS) performed by qualified Neurologists and Scientists who specialise in neurophysiology. NCS testing also helps to exclude other underlying, co-existing disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which is more common in diabetics. CNS provides same-day results and specialist management-recommendations to GPs. We also explain the test results to patients in the same-day consultation. For more information visit www.corbett. com.au or ask your GP for a referral.

New Murwillumbah mural a hit with locals

By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE artists from Earth Learning group have recently completed the first part of an exciting new mural for Murwillumbah located on the wall of the iconic Hutchisons building on 63 Wollumbin Street. The artwork depicts the vibrant colours of king parrots on Davidson plum trees. There’s also plans to continue the wall, as only a third is currently complete, with local Indigenous artwork through the Kinship Festival. “When complete, the mural will reach the length of the entire wall – with both environmental and indigenous themes,” Earth Learning

spokeswoman Marion Riordan told The Weekly. “It is envisioned that the final installation will serve as an open-air classroom for young and old to better understand the ecological and cultural heritage of our region.” Mrs Riordan said the Earth Learning Group was grateful to former Mayor of Tweed Max Boyd AM, who had the original vision for this mural and helped raise the much-needed funding. “His vision was to see local flora and fauna depicted in murals throughout Murwillumbah,” she said. “We also thank Scandinavian Cones Co (J&D Dickinson Holdings) the major donor to this artwork.” The new mural is designed to complement the “Treasures of the Tweed” and “Ages of the Tweed”

murals found on both sides of the Tweed levee wall. “You can see these murals when you drive over the main bridge into Murwillumbah,” Mrs Riordan said. “We are very grateful to artist Turiya Bruce – who interpreted and painted the artwork from an original composition by artist David Adams. “We are grateful to David Adams for his creative artwork and guidance. “Special thanks to Earth Learning volunteers Graeme Cooney and Phil Thompson who made a great contribution and to Emma Keep, Turiya’s assistant. “Another big thank you also to the building manager, Allan Hambling, who gave permission to use the wall for this mural.”

THE KINGSCLIFF Beach Bowls Club Cup attracted a solid turn out despite unprecedented heat across the Tweed Valley on Tuesday, March 19. Members, staff and board members from the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club enjoyed the day with plenty of winners picked by several punters. The Weekly was there to capture some of the great moments at the Tweed River Jockey Club, with the next race day set for Anzac Day on April 25.

at the Footy with Quinny ROUND 1 was fantastic. I was that excited about game 1 and the Storm kicked off like they always do and won their 17th straight round 1 match. They obviously do something right in the pre season. I wasn’t impressed with Lodge’s tackle and glad he got suspended. In saying that he had a super match in the front row first up.

The Rabbitoh’s lowered the Roosters flag in a dour encounter at the SCG. It was a great match and Reynold’s controlled things beautifully. Can’t say I agree with the penalty try that was awarded to the Shark’s and I’m glad Newcastle snuck home with the win. Pressure on Dean Pay after round 1. They were poor the Dog’s and will need to improve and quickly. The Dragons were a little disappointing and now without Frizell (Ouch! What an injury) it doesn’t get any easier against the Rabbits this week. This will be a super game. The Titan’s could not have had a worse start with Taylor ruled out prior to game and Roberts lasting only 15 minutes. This will test the depth early and put them under the pump, but I agree with Jarrod Wallace’s statement this week that it was an ‘Unacceptable’ performance. They need to improve. Round 2 see’s a fantastic derby’s with Brisbane v Cowboys, a match that historically finishes with Golden Point or a one point victory. Josh Maguire against his old team will be a great clash and the form of Taumalolo was ultra impressive round 1. Congratulations to the Northern Rivers Titans u/16’s team who went through the Andrew Johns cup 5 rounds undefeated. They play Penrith next week in the semi final, good luck boys. Lismore Diocesan trials were completed this week at Woodlawn for the catholic kids and it was a quality level of competition with numbers high for the first time in a long time. The NRRRL kicks off this weekend with the Mustangs taking on Evans Head down south on Sunday. The Stangs are looking good after an impressive trial win against Gold Coast heavyweights Ruanaway Bay. The inclusion of Queensland Cup star Toby McIntosh who has returned ‘home’ to the stable is exciting and he is the player to watching in 2019 after winning the NRRRL player of the year award in 2016. All eyes will be on Byron Bay in 2019 to see how they go after recruiting super hard for this season and to be led by former NRL star Todd Carney. See you at the Footy.Quinny

SAE Group recognised with two certification awards By Jonathon Howard TWEED SHIRE solar business and local employer SAE Group is pleased to announce they have reached another milestone by achieving awards in both their health and safety and management systems recently.

SAE Group team continue to kick goals in the local business

Aldi, Coles and Woolies end milk wars ALDI, COLES and Woolworths have all increase the price of two litre and three litre prices on their fresh milk range by 20 cents and 30 cents respectively, with the additional proceeds being passed on to dairy farmers “in full”. Aldi said in a media statement that the move represents a short-term solution to an industry-wide problem that requires coordinated Federal Government-led structural reform. Oliver Bongardt, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi Australia, said the decision to increase fresh milk prices has been reached in recognition of the significant issues currently impacting the dairy industry and the fact that “broader government-led policy reform is unlikely to occur in the short-term”. Aldi said it had already taken substantial action over recent months aimed at addressing issues confronting the Australian dairy sector. “This has involved us accepting cost increases from our milk processors to cater for drought and associated issues, and we have been able to do so until now without passing higher prices on to the consumer,” the media statement said. “(The) announcement of the price movement reflects constructive discussions with our milk processors who have worked with us to find a way to pass on the additional proceeds, in full, to the dairy farmers supplying them with fresh milk. “This solution is a short-term measure and will allow our processors to immediately pass additional funds to their dairy farmers outside of normal seasonal adjustments. “At the conclusion of the current season (The Australian dairy season runs from July until June) Aldi will work with processors to ensure that prices for milk reflect the current market conditions and support the long-term viability of the dairy industry.” Aldi said it remains committed to the Australian dairy industry. “We look forward to the introduction of governmentorchestrated structural reform in accordance with the recommendations of the ACCC’s 2018 Dairy Inquiry final report,” the Aldi statement read.

Get ready for the Female of the Species

By Jonathon Howard MURWILLUMBAH THEATRE Company is proud to present another contemporary Australian comedy The Female of the Species which will open at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Friday, March 29 until Sunday, April 14. The comedy, originally by Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith, premiered in Melbourne in 2006 and toured the capital cities before its premiere in London’s West End and Broadway, New York, in 2008. This latest gem, from the pen of one of Australia’s most outstanding playwrights, is a satire about celebrity feminists and was loosely inspired by Germaine Greer’s experience of being held captive in her country house in Essex in 2000. The story unfolds with Margot Mason, pioneer of the 1970s Women’s Liberation movement, fearless academic, sitting at her desk at home, struggling to finish her next book. Through the French doors of the study comes a young, uninvited student, Molly Rivers, Molly, it appears, blames Mason for her own mother’s suicide, and for brainwashing a generation of women with her various books, such as The Cerebral Vagina. Murray-Smith doesn’t stop with one unexpected visitor, a total of five people come in through the study windows as the play unfolds, each with something to say about Mason’s life and career, and the legacy of her feminist polemics. Rather than a serious piece of feminist commentary, The Female of the Species

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Many readers will remember the winner of the Best Film Oscar in 2017 - Moonlight, the moving coming-of-age story of a young Afro-American gay man in a rough neighborhood of Miami. Barry Jenkins, that film’s director, continues his exploration of the black experience in America and maintains his own expressionistic aesthetic in the romantic drama If Beale Street Could Talk, described by international film critics as ‘a work of social realism elevated to poetic heights by the sheer beauty of its voice and the humanism of its spirit’.

The cast Female of the Species are ready to go following months of rehearsals

blooms into modern farce, with quick wit, big ideas and ridiculous revelations. When is the right time for feminism to laugh at itself ? As Molly herself quips ‘Men aren’t our problem. Old feminists are.” The Female of the Species deftly walks the tightrope between satire and farce with the jokes coming thick and fast, proving the female of the species is not only deadlier, but funnier than the male. Female of the Species will be staged at the Murwillumbah Civic Centre on Friday, March 29, at 7.30pm, Saturday, March 30, at 7.30pm, Friday, April 5, at 7.30pm, Saturday, April 6, at 7.30pm, Sunday, April 7 at 2pm, Friday, April 12,

at 7.30pm, Saturday, April 13, at 7.30pm and Sunday, April 14, at 2pm. Tickets are just $20 and are available online at murwillumbahtheatrecompany. com.au, from Larkins Electrical in Main Street Murwillumbah (cash only) or at the door. Please note that this play contains strong language and adult themes. The setup is cabaret style with BYO food and drink, as well as a licensed bar and refreshments. The play has no interval, but doors are open 45 minutes before the show commences so you can enjoy a great social night out.

The film is based on the James Baldwin’s novel of the same name, and follows Tish, a young African-American woman living in Harlem who, with her family’s support, seeks to clear the name of her lover Fonny who has been charged with rape, and to prove his innocence before the birth of their child. “Every black person born in America was born on Beale Street,” states the opening quotation from Baldwin’ s book, making clear from the very beginning that the story of Tish and her lover Fonny is emblematic of the African-American condition. Writing the novel in 1974, Baldwin knew that while white people would see a black man behind bars and jump to their own conclusions, black people knew that just being in jail doesn’t make a person necessarily a criminal and would wonder how unlikely it was that justice would be served and Fonny allowed to return to his family. As in Moonglight, in If Beale Street Could Talk prison is the thing that derails what could have been a beautiful life, while at the same time Jenkins wants to show that love and family are the key to his community’s survival. The film has won several accolades including the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Regina King, starring as Tish’s mother in the film.

General Manager of Tweed Shire Council Troy Green said. “They are also very humble and have never wanted accolades.” The walkway was part of a state government grant through the Stronger Communities Fund which will also see an all access toilet completed downstairs. With the state election looming, politicians from all sides were on site for the opening which Mr Green said provided an opportunity for bipartisanship. “The whole gallery has always been bipartisan as all sides see the value of the gallery and put aside party politics for the benefit of the community. “The gallery is a major tourist attraction in the Tweed, with as many people visiting the gallery as climbing Wollumbin.”

GUIDE

SAT 23 MAR

By Megan Albany A NEW walkway has been completed at the Tweed Regional Gallery to help visitors appreciate the natural artwork of the gallery’s lauded scenery. A reception was held on Tuesday, March 19, to not only mark the opening of the boardwalk but to also honour the contribution of long term gallery patrons Margot Anthony and her husband, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, Doug Anthony, who donated the land on which the gallery now stands. “The gallery is full of beautiful manmade, human ideas and collections of thoughts and then we get to come outside and see another more beautiful artwork,” Mrs Anthony said. “My feeling is that the walkway takes our visitors into the landscape. “It takes people out of the gallery to see what nature has provided and now everyone is able to walk outside to enjoy the incredible beauty.” Mr Anthony said the walkway was a beautiful and practical addition to the gallery. “It’s lovely space to use and it’s great to have something that’s there for people to walk on,” he said. “It’s beautiful and I am very happy with the progress.” General Manager of Tweed Shire Council Troy Green said he was delighted to be at the opening of the walkway and to once again pay tribute to Doug and Margot Anthony. “Don and Margot are great supporters of the gallery and are very philanthropic,”

Featured Business

Hi, my name is Mark and I’m the owner of Tree Change Plumbing, Northern NSW’s newest plumbing service. A couple of years ago my wife and I took the plunge and escaped Sydney for the beautiful Tweed Valley. We bought a property in Stokers Siding that we now share with our 7 month old baby Daisy, our pup Ruby and a couple of cows, chickens and ducks. I have worked as a Plumber for over 15 years, mainly on large construction projects, but have recently started my own business, Tree Change Plumbing. Our goal at Tree Change Plumbing is to provide friendly, reliable and professional plumbing, drainage and gas fitting services from Tweed to Ballina and everywhere in between. Some of the services we offer include hot and cold water plumbing, drainage and stormwater, gas fitting, solar hot water, mechanical services and core drilling. No job is too big or small. I am a high quality worker, reliable, reasonably priced and tidy. I take pride in my work and understand the importance of good quality workmanship. Please contact me at any time on my mobile 0420 371 151. Look forward to hearing from you!

Has Your Hot Water System Been Checked Lately? Ever Heard of a Sacrificial Anode?

A sacrificial anode is a vital part of your water system, and having it inspected can be the difference between an efficiently working system and a costly replacement. Manufacturers recommend that you maintain the anode in your system in order to prevent damage from rust + corrosion. THE ANODE IN YOUR SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO CORRODE AWAY, WHATEVER TYPE OR BRAND OF SYSTEM YOU HAVE SOLAR, ELECTRIC, GAS OR HEAT PUMPS Cutaway section of a typical electric hot water heater

FOR A LIMITED TIME we will check your anode in the Tweed & Gold Coast area FREE OF CHARGE.

“REMEMBER YOU CAN’T LOSE, NO ANODE REPLACEMENT NO CHARGE” Comes with a 5 year warranty ~ Make your Hot Water System last for 30 years!

Holding Shot TWEED BYRON District Singles Championship, this year, evolved into a grand tournament with 43 ladies competing for top honours. A smorgasbord of high quality bowls, continuously on display across all rinks throughout the contest, provided spectators with first class entertainment during the three day event. PM on day 2, Quarter Finals got under way. Sandra Akers (Kingscliff) established an early narrow lead in a hard fought duel with Sue Goode (Cabarita) and held on strongly to go forward to the semis. The Alana Sharp (Pottsville) Vs. Di James (Kingscliff) clash resulted in another tough encounter. With the scores on 7-7 and later 15-15, Sharp then charged to the line taking the game with a tidy margin. Semi 3 saw Pottsville’s Coral Nathan in control in her challenge with Condong’s Maryann Sweetnam to claim victory with a sizeable margin. June Foran (Cabarita) took the lead early against George Moore (Pottsville) in Semi 4. Moore retaliated and evened the score to 8-8 by the 11th end, then took control for the remainder of the game to advance to

with Judy Tuckey the semis. Semi One between Alana Sharp and Sandra Akers resulted in Akers being in control for the first half of a hard fought duel. However, Sharp revitalised and then took over on the 14th, breaking away to claim victory with a handy margin. George Moore trailed Coral Nathan 5-0 after four ends in Semi Two before powering up and taking over the lead 7 ends later. A further eight ends resulted in Moore being 17-13 up. Playing on strongly, Moore closed the game with a comfy margin to claim her berth in the final. The Alana Sharp Vs. George Moore Final resulted in the score being on 6-6 after 10 ends. Holding her opposition at bay during the next ten ends of the skirmish, Moore was in complete control having scored a further 13 shots to Sharp’s 3. With both ladies scoring 6 shots apiece during the final ends, Moore then claimed victory with a substantial margin. Congratulations to these two very fine bowlers together with all participants in this championship and Special Congratulations to George Moore, the Tweed Byron District 2019 Singles Champion. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Kirra Teams Challenge Looking to Tread Lightly on the Environment

: Pottsville’s George Moore - Tweed Byron District 2019 Singles Champion

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

NEXT WEEK the Kirra Teams Challenge, will see the 37th year of the event, and the hosts, the Kirra Surfriders Club, are looking to tread easy on the environment. This year as always they will leave the beach the same as they have found it, or better, but they will also be dropping their carbon footprint, with the SAE Group of Tweed Heads will have their mobile solar unit up and running and will supply all power for the event’s PA and computer systems, and all their power being used. The SAE Group recently powered the Surf Lifesaving Championships held at Kingscliff, and they pride themselves at being solar and efficiency experts It promises to be a great event, and there will be also a welcome to country ceremony from the Yugambeh Aboriginal Dance Troupe who perform regularly at Currumbin Sanctuary, and will ask all other indigenous competitors to join in. Currently the event has 36 teams entered from Noosa to Torquay in Victoria, including last years’ champions North Narrabeen Boardriders. Once again the pirates will be hard to beat. The mighty

Snapper Rocks Surfriders will be out to win another teams challenge, and the $12,000 prize pool will be a nice little incentive for a team to be on point to win. But the main thing everyone is looking for is to be able to hoist the trophy, the Kirra Eagle, into the sky. It is quite a heavy bronze trophy, looking the same as the eagle atop Kirra Point. Also once again the Kirra Surfriders have given a free entry to the AVS (Australian Veteran Surfers). They are a group of returned soldiers, who use surfing as a means to reconnect and ease the stress that may veterans have to deal with. They may not win many heats, but they have a great time and are really a great part of the event A total of 36 teams from all over the country, it will be a great competition, and some awesome team spirit on display. Long term forecast looks pretty good, and maybe, just maybe we may see competition head to the legendary Kirra Point for a least one for at least one of the three days. Surfers on the Championship Tour are unable to compete for their clubs, but we may see Joel Parkinson and Josh Kerr surfing for Snapper, and maybe Mick Fanning for Kirra, and Bede Durbidge for Point Lookout. There are a host of big names competing so it will be well worth going down over the weekend to check out at the preferred venues of Kirra Point or Duranbah beach.

Vissla Pro running Through Early Rounds

With the Vissla Sydney Pro running through until Sunday, some of the local crew are progressing well through the early rounds, good results for Quinn Bruce, Mitch Crews and Liam O’Brien in round one. Crews, who I last had in the column after dealing with a bluebottle in his mouth when surfing Cabarita, was pretty happy with his form. “I’m really keen to compete this year,’ Crews said. “I’ve never lost the passion to compete but this year I want to really focus on competing well. “I think that heat was a pretty good reflection of this as the waves were pretty small and average but I was pretty fired up. “I’ve come off a really good run of solid waves at home so I didn’t think I’d perform that well today so I’m stoked to make that heat and hope to continue the form throughout the week.” The local girls are showing good form as well, with Ellie Brookes, Kobie Enright, Zahli Kelly, and Alyssa Lock progressing through their round 2 heats in Sydney Surf Pro. There should be a little bit more swell at Manly for the rest of the event, with the top seeds coming into the action already in round two, there will be some great action to watch. You can do that on the WSL app or via Facebook Live.

At the helm

Light winds for the Bridge to Breakers IT WAS a very quiet day on the Tweed River last Sunday, with no Sailing boats to be seen, as the Tweed Sailing club members travelled south to Harwood on the Clarence river to compete in the Annual “Big River Sailing Club” “Bridge to Breakers” Race. Harwood is a great place to sail; the Clarence is nearly a mile wide and is generally very windy. Sailors look forward to this race all year. 80 boats competed from all sailing clubs on the North Coast. This year a reduced fleet of seven boats and 14 crew from the Tweed competed in a light breeze which occasionally died out completely’ leaving the fleet becalmed. It took a lot of patience; the first Tweed boat took 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete the long course. The best overall corrected time performance from the Tweed came from Kate Yeomans in her Laser “Bluey”, getting 21st out of 40 boats in the unballasted mono hull division. First to finish from the Tweed was single hander, Impulse “Itcycoo” (Tim Brown), beating second place Impulse “Rosie” (Adam Hurt) by 2 minutes and Laser “Bluey” (Kate Yeomans) getting home 3rd, 9 minutes back. The main race as usual was amongst the big Three handed Corsairs. In a very surprising result, Corsair “Minnow (Andrew Jaggers, Tara Beth and Bronwyn Yeldham) got home in front of regular adversary “Swell Lady” (Monique Smith, Deb Flannery and Gary McCrohan) by only 3 seconds in an incredibly close finish, while 3rd was “Keen As” (Mark Reynolds and Craig Foley) sailing short-handed due to a lack of crew. One multihull from Tweed joined the Catamaran race, Dave Chester in Sledder who must have had a slow and frustration day and failed to finish. Next week the club is back on the Tweed, and will hold the final heat of the North Coast Corsair Class Championship at Fingal Head, with the expected return of Club Commodore Bill Fenelon in Corsair Minnow, and International champion sailor Matt Andrews in Swell Lady, it promises to be a closely contested event. Sailing is a great spectator sport. Come down and enjoy a pleasant afternoon by the river on the Fingal Reach and enjoy the race. The Tweed Sailing Club always welcomes new sailors and experience is not necessary to join the crew on a Corsair. Crew for the rescue boat, or skippers with NSW Boating licenses are also welcome.

Casuarina teen brings home bronze against world’s best skaters CASUARINA TEEN Indiana Barnard has come third in the under 14 Vans Girls Combi Pool Classic in Los Angeles against the world’s best skaters. Leah Barnard said it was the best result her daughter had ever got. “It’s unbelievable - she got the scores hours before but couldn’t believe it until they gave her the trophy,” she said. “It’s an invite only event and she was up against the best skaters in the world for her age with first place going to Japan and second to Germany. “We are very, very proud.” Indi got an invitation based on her results at her last competition at Exposure Skate in November last year at Encinitas, San Diego. “She went in two events and got third in Vert and fifth in Bowl,” Ms Barnard said. The 13-year-old travels to the states two or three times a year for training and competitions. “She doesn’t have a coach - she does it herself but she gets some help from Trevor Ward from Pottsville who has a training facility at Arundel and runs Skate all Day,” Ms Barnard said. “She trains there and skates at Elanora as well so we travel up there every day after school and she skates for about two hours.

“Her dream is to be a pro based in America. “We’re so excited that she’s over there doing these amazing things. “She used to love surfing but someone gave her a skateboard and that was the end of it. Her theory was, there are no sharks at the skatepark.” Tweed skaters also starred at the Australia Skateboarding League National Final in Melbourne on March 8 and 9 with Chloe Covell coming 1st in the Under 14s and Izzy McPherson 2nd so congratulations to all our amazing local skater girls. On her return home Indi competed with other Tweed skaters in Bowlzilla, the ASF Park Skating National Championships at Elanora and the largest gathering of skaters in Australia. “It’s one of the only skate comps where they have equal prizemoney for males and females - 1st prize is $2,000,” Ms Barnard said. “Female skateboarding isn’t nearly as prominent as males but it’s certainly growing. Last year Indi placed sixth in the Open Womens and this she placed fourth with Chloe Covell coming eight. Ash Wilcomes came second in the Under 16s boys and was ASF Park Skating Champion for 2019.

The day two clash between Pottsville and Cudgen was declared a draw which saw Cudgen slip into third position on the ladder going into next week’s semi final against Casino at Casino while Pottsville held on to fourth position to put them up against competition leaders Lennox Head at Lennox. The semifinals run on Saturday, March 23, and continue on Sunday starting at 11am and the teams will be looking for plenty of supporters to help get them over the line and on to a possible rerun of last year’s Cudgen v Potty home grand final. Pottsville especially will be

looking for a big crowd to get them past Lennox so do yourselves a favour and make that trip. Murwillumbah’s home game against Lennox was also a washout with Lennox taking the points after last week’s effort so that’s Goodnight Irene from the Panthers.

Coastal League Pottsville played Cudgen at Reg Dalton Field with Cudgen winning the toss and sending Pottsville in to bat. Pottsville were all out for 82 with Aaron Hasaart top scoring on 24. Chris Moase, Sam Bowkett and Ryan Marriot took two wickets each while Mitch Anderson took 3/18. Cudgen went in to bat and were on their way to a comfortable victory, at 2/72, when the Gods

stole their thunder and sent the rain down with the game having to be abandoned. Ryan Lahrs top scored on 25 with Luke Buckman taking the two wickets. Cudgen just missed out on a spot in the semi finals with Potty close behind in sixth position. Terranora booked themselves a berth in next weeks semi-finals, taking out Lennox Head at Lennox to leave them in fourth position. Terranora won the toss and sent Lennox in to bat. After the 40 overs Lennox had only managed 118 runs with Corey Wilcox outstanding taking 4/13 while Josh Wilcox took 3/21 so a great bowling effort from our boys. Terranora overtook Lennox with no trouble at all and the loss of only three wickets. Dave Russell top scored on 45

while Grant Thompson was 40 not out for an overall 3/121 and a semi against Lennox Head at Rabjones Oval Murwillumbah next week, Saturday, March 23, at 1pm so they will be hoping to get a good crowd in to cheer on the boys representing the last Tweed club standing in the Coastal League.

Thirsty Thirds In the third grade semi-final the Schooners took on Cudgen at Ron Wilkinson Fields. Cudgen won the toss and elected to bat. Cudgen did a great job to be 7/232 at the end of the 40 overs with no batting breakdown available. The Schooners went in for the chase and were heading for a shock loss after leading the comp most of the year with six wickets down for 91 runs and a lot of ground to make up when the cricket Gods

shone down on them and the heavens opened up (we’re getting quite religious this week) saving the day. They only got 16 overs in which didn’t constitute a game with the Schooners advancing as Minor Premiers which was bad luck for Cudgen after a great effort. In the Cabarita game against Murwillumbah Bobcats there was a dispute over the conditions and suitability of the ground and the game didn’t go ahead. Cabarita was awarded the win because they were higher on the table but the result has been disputed and a decision is forthcoming. To all the teams bowing out, congratulations on some great performances over the season and we will look forward to seeing you next year.
