Shooters Union wants end to rifle and shotgun registration

THE PEAK shooting body, Shooters Union Australia, is calling for an end to registration of sporting rifles and shotguns, saying the “beleaguered N S W F i r e a r m s Re g i s t r y a t Murwillumbah is an expensive waste of taxpayer’s money which does nothing to improve public safety”. In a media statement the Shooters Union said a damning report from the State Auditor-General identified a litany of problems at the Murwillumbahbased registry, including an inability to track the location of firearms, not effectively administering important parts of the state’s firearms laws, and having considerable errors in records. Shooters Union Australia president Graham Park said the report was “clear proof it was time to scrap firearms registries and divert the funding and resources to front-line police instead”. “Firearms registries make people feel good, but they don’t achieve anything,” he said. “Both New Zealand and Canada, who have similar cultures and firearms ownership attitudes as Australia, have ditched their registries after finding they were expensive wastes of money and resources, and have had no issues with firearms crime. “Shooters should still need a licence, genuine reason, training, and secure storage to acquire a gun licence, but once they’re licenced, registration only adds

more bureaucracy, complication and waste without increasing public safety.” But Member for Lismore Thomas George hit back at suggestions to close the Murwillumbah registry and said changes have already been put in place to improve its operations. “Following the appointment of a new Director to the Firearms Registry late last year, a number of steps have been taken to improve the Registry’s operations, with some of the Audit Office’s recommendations already met by the Registry’s current practices,” he said. “The Registry has developed work plans to implement other recommendations and in no way could I support the closure of the Murwillumbah Firearms Registry.” Meanwhile, Mr Park said the focus should be on maintaining licence details and ensuring shooters were complying with secure storage requirements, rather than worrying about how many guns they might have or what type they were.

“From a policing and public safety perspective, it’s a safe assumption anyone with a gun licence has a firearm, so having a list of specifically what guns they have doesn’t provide any additional benefits,” he said. “In fact, NSW Police themselves admit in the report they attend all events on the assumption a firearm is present – so why do they need a central list of what guns people own? “Every dollar spent on maintaining a pointless and dysfunctional registry is a dollar not going to front-line police combating real crime such as drug trafficking, gangs or violence.” Mr Park said it was common knowledge among shooters that the Firearms Registry details were so inaccurate and flawed as to be “effectively useless anyway”. “Do you like seeing your tax dollars wasted on useless political exercises that don’t work? We certainly don’t,” he said.

By Jonathon Howard

MORE THAN 200 Tweed Shire residents gathered at the Uki Hall on Saturday, March 21, to hear from political candidates in the upcoming NSW state election. The subject of the meeting was water extraction and the interim water study recently released by the Office of the Chief Scientist and Engineer (OCSE). Tasked by NSW Water Minister Niall Blair, the study investigating the sustainability of water extraction for the bottled water industry. The Tweed Water Alliance, who chaired the meeting, said members had examined the document in depth and were “unimpressed”. The initial report released in early February is a prelude to the full report due in mid-2019. Tweed Water Alliance member Pat Miller said if ever there was a whitewash, “this is a textbook example”. “The report is a pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo designed to confuse,” Mr Miller said. “It was a stitch-up from the start. “It seems the expert panel left its reading glasses at home when they

claimed that upon examination of the Tweed Shire Council’s own records there were 128 weekly individual truck movements in the Tweed Shire. “In a show of public numeracy, the 200-strong crowd added up the weekly truck movements approved by the development application process – they come to 220 per week. “Then there was a little more arithmetic to determine the amount of water taken under the approved truck movements. “According to our calculations all extractors allegedly exceeded their allocation.” Mr Miller said in one case there was allegedly no development application in place and they are still extracting water. “We call on the Tweed Shire Council to shut this down immediately,” Mr Miller said. “The report is riddled with false assumptions and inaccuracies, the most glaring of which is its starting point. “Its primary assumption is that the water bottling industry is okay. “It isn’t – the OCSE report only sought to muddy the waters so the industry could go on in exactly the same way.

“The litany of nonsense in the report is only designed to make the National party look like they are doing something. “If you read the report it’s a stitch-up. “The section of the report dealing with truck movements, a principal concern of residents, was laughable.” Lismore candidates Janelle Saffin from Country Labor and Sue Higginson from the Greens were joined by Susie Hearder, Animal Justice Party candidate for Tweed. They outlined their policy positions with all speaking strongly against the industry. Mr Miller said it was significant that “no National Party representatives attended the meeting”. Nationals member for Tweed Geoff Provest submitted a written policy statement and both Austin Curtin (Lismore) and Mr Provest offered their apologies. “Tweed Water Alliance urges people to remember this as a vital issue in the election. Where we live depends on it,” Mr Miller said. All policy statements are on the Tweed Water Alliance website: https:// tweedwateralliance.org/

Questions from local doctor

As someone who has worked in hospitals for over 30 years and is totally apolitical, I wish to share some observations and ask some questions about the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital. Why was there suddenly a need for a new hospital when reviews in 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2016 recommended urgent upgrades to the existing Tweed Hospital and why were these recommendations ignored? Why have discussions about the ability to redevelop The Tweed Hospital been limited to the footprint of the current site and not considered spreading into adjacent areas even though some of these have been offered up for sale? While most infrastructure, planning and zoning projects of this size take years to progress, how and why has this project been rushed through in less than 12 months? Who stands to benefit from the decisions that have been taken in relation to The Tweed Hospital and the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital? A lot of locals are looking forward to a shiny new hospital, with new jobs and little impact. They are in for the shock of their lives. This hospital will service mid Gold Coast to Lismore and will be huge. There will be doctors, nurses, administrative staff, caterers, students, cleaners, physiotherapists, receptionists, technicians, porters, clerks, retailers, maintenance crews, specialist suites, pathologists, day patients, visitors and the list goes on. All travelling to and from the hospital 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, 365-days a year. Using just one example - parking. In my experience planners always grossly underestimate parking for Stage 1, let alone allowing for future stages. Staff cannot afford paid parking so they will clog all the surrounding areas including Marine Parade. Staff will think of creative ways to avoid paid parking – five cars drive

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

into Kingscliff/Cudgen, four park somewhere for the shift and one drives all five drivers/passengers to the hospital parking area. This will have a huge impact on Kingscliff and surrounding areas. School drop off will become more of a nightmare and dangerous. The loss of parking will impact on local businesses. Traffic congestion throughout Kingscliff and beyond will be hugely disruptive upon our daily lives and will adversely affect our growing tourist economy. Recently there have been a few interviews with doctors begging for the new hospital to stop bed blocking. The ugly truth is a new hospital will not prevent this. To justify a new hospital the Government will close many of the smaller local hospitals including The Tweed Hospital. This will clog the new acute care hospital with chronic long-term patients who would rather be in a local hospital close to friends and relatives. This new hospital will have more beds but, as we have seen, the lack of funding for staffing limits the number of wards that are open. Bed blocking still occurs in new hospitals. A brand-new hospital is not a panacea to improving health care. In fact, recently it has proven the opposite. Dr Jeff James, Kingscliff

It’s time to discuss Daylight Savings again

It was 75 days from when Daylight Savings started last year 2018. to the Summer Solstice (21 December in this part of the globe). It will be 107 days from the Summer Solstice until it ends on the April 7. Whether you are in favour of Daylight Savings or not, it is clear that it should finish on the first Sunday of March, not April. Like the water in the Darling River, leave it to the politicians and they will stuff it up. C Richards, Banora Point

Voters are no fools

Last week when the sale of the land adjoining the Kingscliff hospital site was officially announced, Geoff Provest is quoted as saying it was the first he’d heard about the sale of the block. He then went on to say “it’s difficult to say why the land was purchased as it is State Significant Farmland and will remain that way”. Does he take the community for fools? The proposed sale of this block was spoken about at the community forum that he attended with Brad

Hazzard in Tweed Heads last June and 200 people heard the discussion. It was an open secret in the community that an option had been placed on the block by a developer and this was clearly stated that night. A s fo r h i s d i ff i c u l t y i n understanding why it was purchased, at six times more than the normal price of farming land at 4.51 million dollars, perhaps I can help him with an explanation. The hospital site is too small for future buildings, so a developer was given the nod once the site was chosen in December 2017, when the Health Dept began negotiating with the owner on a price for the land. He has gambled that the land next door will be needed for other necessary infrastructure. Private hospital, accommodation for visitors etc, so took out an option to buy and the sale was finalised in February 2019. It has demonstrated that rezoning is very easy to do, if the building is regarded as State Significant Development, so the rezoning of this block will follow as it will be deemed necessary to support the main hospital buildings. The first domino to fall on the Cudgen Plateau, as predicted by all of us who understand that this choice of site is deeply flawed. Chris Evans, Kingscliff

By ministerial invitation only

How can you tell when the Premier of NSW and her ministers are afraid to face the community? Is it when the Premier flies in unannounced on January 19 to open the local member’s campaign office a ‘by invitation only’ event for a handful of National Party faithful and avoids speaking with the waiting community? Is it when the Planning Minister NSW flies in unannounced on February 27 to unveil the rezoning of State Significant Farmland for a hospital to a handful, three cars, of National Party faithful and disappears as quietly as he arrives? Is it when the Premier of NSW flies in on March 1 to a community morning tea where community members are refused entry and only National Party faithful are attending? I guess the only way we can speak to our elected representatives now is through the ballot box on March 23. Alma McAllister, Kingscliff

Common sense should rule

A new Tweed Valley Hospital will be a much-needed piece of infrastructure for residents of the Tweed. It is a pity the entire process has been botched since a need was identified as early as 2007. It has been accepted and part of long-term planning that the current

hospital would be redeveloped on the current site where the surrounding infrastructure is in place. Instead at the last minute the decision was made to shift it to Cudgen without adequate community consultation and with very little transparency regarding the process. What is more disturbing is the purchase of a neighbouring property by a developer. That property is also state significant farmland. At a time when responsible governments not only in Australia but worldwide are increasingly protecting quality farmland from urban encroachment it seems the rich farmland of the Cudgen plateau is under serious threat from those sworn to protect it. Hopefully common sense and responsibility to future generations will win out over poor planning and self-interest. David Lloyd, Kingscliff

Drug deals are plaguing our beautiful Murwillumbah

We have lived in Murwillumbah for over ten years. We live in town not on the outskirts of town. My family and I have seen a major change to the town in recent years and not being a good one. The amount of drug deals in and around Knox Park and in town itself is out of control. The police have next to no interest in doing anything, and if they do they are 40minutes away which really is not very helpful with a town of more than 10,000 people. It is not safe to walk around town at night due to the amount of drug affected people and homeless people around, this is more so on Friday and Saturday nights. We have witnessed drug deals, bashings, people being robbed, cars in Knox Park doing burnouts. I have approached the police when they are about and I am told what would you like us to do? I have taken photos of the drug dealer’s car registration and nothing has been done. Yes, if you are only out and about in town between 9am and 3pm, yes, it’s a beautiful peaceful little town but the reality is that this is not the case and far from the truth. Yes, every town has its problems but not at a growth rate like this. Now with the old bowls club being the local shoot up place for the kids, we have seen all types of school kids going into and out of it including private school uniforms. Also, a 150-bed facility for homeless and disadvantaged is being proposed for Murwillumbah East to add to the already existing homeless and drug-affected.

People in this town need to get their heads out of the sand and take off their rose-coloured glasses or the town will self-implode, the house prices will plummet, and the crime rate will rise. It is sad to watch towns slowly die, I have seen this too often. David Leigh, Murwillumbah

Corrections required on Dr Weston Allen’s letters

It’s regrettable that so much misinformation is repeatedly put out about Kings Forest as prospectively the alternative site for the hospital. Dr Weston Allen’s letter is another example of this. He states that the hospital at Kings Forest would be “a massive development on a koala habitaf’. Wrong. There is no koala habitat on the proposed hospital site there - in fact, it’s already State approved for residential subdivision, with koala plans in place, State and Federally approved, concerned with the protection of koala habitat in the adjacent Cudgen Nature Reserve. Dr Allen states, referring to the hospital located at Kings Forest, that Labor would be “hiding it in a hollow”. Wrong. The site is engineered to be entirely above the maximum flood level. There is no hollow within it, around it or anywhere near it. He asserts that the site is “void of infrastructure power, water, sewerage or road”. Wrong again! A power line capable of supplying initial electricity requirements runs right next to the site itself, whilst an area has been set aside for a new substation for long-term needs. Council’s trunk water connection point is nearby, whilst the sewer connection is immediately adjacent to the project. Plans have been submitted for the four-lane road into Kings Forest and its connection with Tweed Coast Road, from which the distance to the proposed hospital site is 400 metres - not “about 1.5km” as claimed by Dr Allen. All of these things can be confirmed by contacting Tweed Shire Council, the Department of Planning or the Federal Department of Environment - or by a simple request to Leda to provide documentary evidence of the facts. It really calls into question the motives of those who don’t do this.

Candidate comes out swinging after land sale By Jonathon Howard LABOR CANDIDATE for Tweed Craig Elliot has come out swinging following reports by The Weekly that farmland next to the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital site at Cudgen was purchased by a Brisbane-based development company recently. As the countdown is on to the NSW election, the gloves have come off with Mr Elliot accusing Member for Tweed Geoff Provest of using the hospital as a “trojan horse for future development”. Mr Elliot said he believed it showed the Nationals “are intent on destroying the State Significant Farmland at Cudgen” and “imposing Gold Coaststyle development at Kingscliff”. Mr Provest told The Weekly he knew nothing about the purchase of the farmland at 741 Cudgen Road. The purchaser of the land, Allan Larkin, has also revealed he has no intention to “create Gold-Coast style development on the site”. “The explosive revelations in The Weekly have exposed the full extent of Geoff Provest and the Nationals’ plans for Gold Coast-style over development on the State Significant Farmland on the Cudgen Plateau,” Mr Elliot said. “Alarm bells would be ringing right across the Tweed. “The move by this Brisbane developer into Cudgen shows that the Nationals are using their nine-storey hospital as a trojan horse to open up the Cudgen Plateau and Kingscliff to Gold Coaststyle high-rise and overdevelopment.” Mr Elliot said that it was not too late to save Cudgen and Kingscliff “from the National Party and their developer mates”. “The proposed site at Cudgen has no development approvals in place so this

election will be a referendum on where you want your new hospital built,” he said. Mr Elliot’s comments follow the announcement that the Cudgen site was rezoned last week for the redevelopment. The Weekly revealed the sale of the land to IRBS 1 Pty Ltd, previously known as Aspect Property Group, a Brisbane-based apartment block developer for $4.51 million on February 12. Team Relocate spokesperson Hayley Paddon said the sale showed that developers do not believe the land will remain protected by its State Significant Farmland zoning. “Geoff Provest keeps telling us that the other precious farmland around the hospital will be protected forever,” Ms Paddon said. “ O bv i o u s ly t h e d e v e l o p m e n t community don’t believe him either, because here we are. “Still no development consent, and already a developer has bought the State Significant Farmland next door. “Watch the dominos start to fall on the Cudgen gold rush because that’s just the beginning.” Ms Paddon said that breaking up “Australia’s best farmland” for urban development “is what the Nationals have wanted since they tried building police and ambulance stations there 10 years ago”. “Now it’s a reality. This is a tragedy not just for the Tweed, but for future generations of Australians.” The report prompted several letters to The Weekly from concerned residents who fear the site is being used to leverage future development expansion or possible feed-in development such as hospital accommodation, private health facility or other developments.

However, it should be noted that in a statement from Mr Larkin (see right) said he purchased the site for its “unique location”. In response Mr Provest said he thought candidates had drawn the line in the sand. “I thought we wouldn’t have any more lies or games, but it seems Mr Elliot has other ideas,” Mr Provest said. “This ridiculous comment about a trojan horse for future development is demeaning and insulting to the team at NSW Health Infrastructure and the medical professionals who have worked tirelessly on this plan. “These are mostly public servants that don’t have an opportunity to defend themselves publicly, so I’ll do it for them. “Building the new Tweed Valley Hospital is about delivering world class health care, not about winning an election. “Craig Elliot needs to have a serious think about whether delaying the hospital and gambling with people’s lives is worth a few extra votes. “Labor can make up whatever lies they want to get elected, that’s not the way I’ll be conducting myself and not the way someone who is seeking office should conduct themselves.” Mr Provest said that neither IRBS 1 Pty Ltd nor Aspect Property Group have ever donated to the NSW National Party or the NSW Liberal Party, after Mr Elliot claimed the Qld Liberal National Party had received $28,120 in political donations from Mr Larkin between 2009 and 2011. Mr Provest said he does not know the organisation and has no connection to them and the sale of the land. “Queensland LNP is a completely separate political party,” he said.

IRBS director says no plans for “Gold Coast-style” development By Jonathon Howard

THE DIRECTOR of IRBS, the holding company which purchased the land adjacent to the proposed Tweed Valley Hospital site for $4.51million, has sad the acquisition was not linked to the hospital decision and it was “purely coincidental (that) both have occurred at the same time”. Director Allan Larkin also said, through his media advisors, that he was not prompted by any politicians to make his public statement nor had any politicians asked him to do so. Mr Larkin told The Weekly in a media statement that he negotiated the purchase of 741 Cudgen Rd in September 2017, “long before the adjacent site was named as the preferred location for the hospital”. Mr Larkin has previously developed multi-level residential apartment projects in South East Queensland, through his former company Aspect Property Group. He said he has since retired from that activity and has “no plans to proceed with any such development on the Cudgen land”. The Weekly can also reveal the property was recently leased for $380 per week through Ray White GC South Network Asset Management. “I purchased the land regardless of the outcome with the hospital, because it is in a unique location,” Mr Larkin said. “I had already intended to purchase the land well before the neighbouring site was earmarked for the hospital. “While I was aware the State Government was looking for a hospital site in the area, I have no political ties with any sitting or potential State or local Shire members. “I have also never made any donations to, nor met with any of these local members - the purchase was simply coincidental. “In fact, the NSW Government Probity Office reviewed our purchase of the Cudgen site in June 2018, and found no conflicts of interest in our negotiations.” Mr Larkin said once additional feedback was requested after the initial site selection, he wrote to the selection committee offering his Cudgen Road site as an alternative. Mr Larkin said the offer was not taken up by the selection committee. “I understand there is concern around development in the area, but I want to be clear that I have no plans, nor intentions, to deliver multi-level residential buildings on the site, so locals can be assured there is no “Gold Coast-style” development agenda at play here.”

The Weekly sits down with Premier Gladys Berejiklian during flying visit By Jo Kennett NSW PREMIER Gladys Berejiklian visited Twin Towns Club at Tweed Heads on Friday, February 29, as part of a whirlwind tour of the Tweed electorate in what political parties are considering one of the crucial seats and one that could help determine the next State Government at the March 23 election. The Weekly caught up with Premier Berejiklian for a one-onone interview to cover some of the key issues for local voters starting with fishing reforms (read page 22). NSW previously had 4,000 commercial fishermen which now has been reduced to 800 with recent reforms seeing more local fishermen forced out of the industry or forced into debt to stay, retailers unable to get enough supply and an increase in imports. Serious questions have been raised over senior management of the Department of Primary Industries Fisheries as a result. The Weekly asked Ms Berejiklian if there was evidence of serious wrongdoing, would her government consider an inquiry into the DPI? “I wouldn’t consider anything because nothing has been brought to my attention in that regard - quite the opposite,” Ms Berejiklian said. “We have been working very hard since we came to government to provide support to the industry. “The industry was in dire straits there was so much red tape nobody could get around it.

“There were so many rules to get around that people weren’t able to conduct their business and fish.” The P remie r sa id t h at h e r government’s approach had always been to consult with the industry. “The fishing industry is fantastic for NSW but it’s also very complex because there are so many different breeds and areas and you can’t make one rule for the entire state and we don’t intend to,” she said. “That’s why it’s important for us to maintain a dialogue with local fishermen and women, because they have different challenges and needs especially with the unique crossborder issues here. “We rely on fishing for tourism and hospitality and we will continue to work with all the stakeholders. “Even within the fishing industry itself there is continued debate on how to move forward. Not everybody agrees. “Our aim has always been to cut red tape and support the industry so that they can flourish and continue to do what they do. “It’s a work in progress, it’s not perfect but it’s much better than when we came to government.” Mr Provest said that local fishermen can apply for funding for independent financial advisors and said he had taken 18 fishermen to Sydney to have their concerns heard with some received help. “Melinda Pavey also announced a new $1.8 million dollar slipway which will also help local fishermen,” he said. The Weekly asked the Premier if the DPI was audited for productivity, successful resolutions or outcomes and Key Performance Indicators?

“Every government agency is audited every year,” she said. The Weekly asked the Premier about “phoenixing” legislation in light of the Tweed Wave 5 Pacific highway subcontractors who went unpaid for a year until the government stepped in to cover payments, as well as other subcontractors affected by the practice. The Premier was also asked whether the recommendations of the Collins Inquiry into Construction Industry Insolvency that was held in 2012 will be implemented. “We’ve recently brought in reforms to support subbies,” the Premier said. “If you’re a contractor you are obligated to provide payment to those subbies before you outlay other costs. “We took positive steps to fix that. We had some bad examples of this around roads and the Deputy Premier and the Minister for Roads (Melinda Pavey) put new rules into place to make it easier and fairer for subbies.” The Weekly asked whether the Premier would you consider meeting with the Relocate Team to discuss their issues. “I feel that they are very set in their ways and we have made our decision,” the Premier said. “When I was here last time Geoff took me to the hospital and it just cemented in my mind how desperately the community needed a new hospital. “The experts told us that was the best site and unfortunately there will always be people who oppose what

you are doing and I just feel nothing anyone sees will change their mind. “As the population grows and ages you want to make sure that patients are given the best care possible locally and not have to travel those longer distances. “I appreciate the Relocate people have their very strong views and they are entitled to them but I don’t appreciate the Labor Party politicising it.” The Weekly asked if the Premier would consider ramping up services and bringing in additional staff and equipment to Murwillumbah Hospital while the new hospital was being built to ease pressure on the Tweed Hospital. “We always consult with the local area health district experts to see what opportunities there are but obviously our main mission is to build the hospital as soon as possible,” the Premier said. “We don’t want to have any stop gap measures, we don’t want the community to have to wait any longer - we want to get cracking and build it as soon as possible.”

M r P rov e s t s a i d t h at t h e government were already taking action. “We allocated just on $48 million to upgrade the existing hospital. We’ve already got in place an extra 17 beds,” he said. “Currently there is a crane on site making another two operating theatres. “We have constant discussions with Health Minister Brad Hazzard and our medical council working out further measures that we can put in place. “The money is there, construction is underway and this is important because often we are running at 100 per cent. “Murwillumbah and Byron Bay are both important feeder hospitals and they won’t be left behind - they will be brought along on this great journey.” The Premier’s flight was late so the interview had to be cut short before The Weekly could ask about the recent rezoning State Significant Farmland (SSF) for the hospital and the sale of the SSF beside the hospital to a developer.

Solar Cuts Local Club’s Power Use in Half

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:

In brief ... Lighting a better way Electrical contractors will start work this week to install energyefficient LED streetlights in the Salt and Casuarina areas. The upgrade will save ratepayers some $32,000 a year in Council’s electricity costs as the existing bulbs use 125 watts while their LED replacements will use 17 watts. Also, network charges will reduce by $8000 a year due to the lower cost of maintaining the new lights. The project will avoid 156 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, which is the equivalent annual emissions from nine average households, going into the atmosphere.

Fabulous foodie wanted Council is looking for a fabulous foodie interested in operating a vibrant café to complement the visitor experience at the Tweed Regional Gallery. Expressions of Interest for a café operator at the Gallery close on Wednesday 13 March. It is envisaged that the successful expression will come from either a company or individual with an innovative approach and offering a menu with seasonal components using fresh local ingredients where possible.

Music in the Park continues

The drill holes in the beautiful mature Poinciana trees (inset) and the now dead zone of Elm Place Reserve.

Vandals lethally inject park shade trees Ratepayers have been slugged $10,000 this year by vandals who have poisoned six 40 to 50-year-old Poinciana trees in Elm Place Reserve at Banora Point. The trees have been drilled and poisoned and it will now cost Council $10,000 to cut them down and remove them. “This is a very sad day for the residents of Elm Place and the wider community as these were big, beautiful trees with spectacular canopies when in full bloom and providing shade across more than 740 square metres of public land,” Manager Recreation Services Stewart Brawley said. “It’s hard to accept that someone could not see their beauty and wilfully destroy them.” Council was alerted to the dying trees by a resident and on inspection found them to have 60 30mm drill holes in them where the

poison had been inserted. Council believes the vandals struck in the past six weeks and is urging anyone with information to call us on (02) 6670 2400 as we are keen to prosecute these people for the destruction of the trees and the loss of amenity to the community. “This is the worst case of vegetation vandalism we have seen in a long time.” Council will replant trees in this park as soon as possible to meet our commitment to working to protect and manage our beautiful natural environment for current and future generations. If a resident has an issue with a tree in a park or on Council-owned land, they should contact Council and we will send a qualified arborist out to assess the tree and situation and provide the best advice on its management.

Emergency Dashboard keeps you informed An online Emergency Dashboard is available for Tweed residents at https://emergency.tweed.nsw.gov.au Council launched the Emergency Dashboard in late December 2018, and the recent events from Cyclone Oma were a good chance to test out the functions ahead of promoting the initiative to Tweed residents. In the first 48 hours of being promoted during the Cyclone Oma event, the Emergency Dashboard had more than 6000 hits and it is proving to be a useful resource for the community. The purpose of the Emergency Dashboard is to provide Tweed residents with links, useful information and contacts in times when they need quick and easy access to vital data. It is a useful resource in the awareness, response and recovery stages of an emergency and will connect residents to: • Relevant combat agencies (SES, Fire and Rescue or Rural Fire Service) • Weather warnings, river heights and rainfall from the Bureau of Meteorology • Road hazards and closures connecting to MyRoadInfo

• Power outages from Essential Energy • Water and wastewater service interruptions • An A to Z listing of updates to Council services and facilities • Community and recovery services available The dashboard integrates with Council related news and a range of social media feeds including Council, SES Richmond Tweed Region, ABC North Coast as the emergency broadcaster and the Bureau of Meteorology. If you are not on social media, you can still view the information so it is a great way to stay up to date.

Time to save water is now The water level of Clarrie Hall Dam has fallen below 90 per cent capacity, putting the Tweed on notice that if significant rain is not received in the next eight weeks, water restrictions will be put in place. The sale and movement of water outside the Tweed is now banned. That is, water carters can still supply local customers but cannot sell water across the shire boundary. Water carting is banned from the Uki and Tyalgum supplies. “The level of the dam is dropping close to 2 per cent a week, meaning we have about eight weeks until we hit 75 per cent capacity and have to declare Level 1 water restrictions,” Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said. “To delay the imposition of restrictions, we all need to conserve water where we can. Currently the average use per person per day in the Tweed is 177 litres, against a target of 160 litres. We know we can do better and there’s no time like now to try.” If water restrictions were to be imposed the permitted uses of water are different for residential, commercial customers and businesses that rely on water as a key input. These are outlined in Council’s Drought Management Policy and at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/WaterRestrictions “It’s our job to secure and provide high quality essential services for the Tweed, including a safe and secure water supply so we ask all water customers to familiarise themselves with these restrictions and do what they can now to delay their imposition for as long as possible.”

One step closer to Pottsville koala holding facility Council has the green light to finalise detailed planning and start construction of a koala holding facility near Pottsville following the signing of a memorandum of understanding for a land swap between Council and the Office of Environment and Heritage last week. The land swap follows on from the purchase of 99 hectares of koala habitat adjacent to Cudgen Nature Reserve and Council’s Koala Beach bushland reserves by the NSW State Government in 2017. Council will receive 30 hectares of land that will be used for koala habitat restoration and the construction of the holding facility. Council will give 20 hectares to be added to the Cudgen Nature Reserve to be managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The koala holding facility has been designed in conjunction with Currumbin Wildlife Hospital and will enable koalas in rehabilitation to be vaccinated for chlamydia before being returned to the wild.

Tweed Shire Council and Tweed Coast Holiday Parks are excited to be continuing Music in the Park on centre stage in Rowan Robinson Park, Kingscliff, this year. The Saturday Sessions – Music in the Park are held on the first and third Saturdays each month from 3.30–6pm. On 16 March, come and hear Sarah Stando, a singer/songwriter from the Northern Rivers who delivers her own brand of jazz ‘n’ soul inspired music. Then, on Saturday 6 April come and hear the Border Rangers who retain the musical traditions of modern music while scouting the edges for new sounds and meanings. According to their biography, they’re riding the higher plain on the outskirts of society looking back in with the knowledge that they’re on a different journey. Come and enjoy some great live music to wind down on a Saturday afternoon or warm up for a night out!

The funding for the facility has been provided by the NSW State Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund. In welcoming the land swap deal, Tweed Shire Council General Manager Troy Green said the koala holding facility represented a critical opportunity for Council to contribute to disease research and work with Currumbin Wildlife Hospital to reduce the levels of chlamydia in the endangered Tweed Coast koala population. “Tweed Shire Council is proud to be working towards koala conservation and recovery efforts,” Mr Green said. “This project contributes to our overall efforts to recover our local koalas through habitat protection and restoration, reducing the impact of vehicles and managing risk from high intensity bushfires.” The additional 20 hectares of koala habitat will be protected in perpetuity within the national parks system. Development approvals and detailed survey works are continuing.

An old, unrated showerhead can use 15 to 20 litres of water a minute while a 3-star WELS-rated showerhead uses 7.5 to 9 litres of water a minute. Council will give you up to $100 rebate (www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/ WaterRebate) if you install water-efficient products, such as a WELS 3-star rated showerhead and 4-star rated taps. An average household of two people can save up to $50 a year by replacing an old shower-head with a water-efficient one. And, if you’re using an electric hot water system, you can save a further $100 a year in water heating costs by installing these waterefficient products. Other simple ways to save water in your home include: • Limit your showers to four minutes. Taking shorter showers is one of the best ways to help conserve water. • Wait until your dishwasher or washing machine are fully loaded before you turn either on. • Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth or shave. • Wash your vegetables and rinse dishes in a plugged sink or basin – not under a running tap. • Fix your leaks – identifying leaks on your property could save you a lot of water and money.

Bartletts Road reseal scaled back to 1km Council has had to scale back its plan to seal two kilometres of Bartletts Road and will now be sealing only one kilometre for the $750,000 made available for the job by the Federal Government. “Council welcomed the offer of funding from the Australian Government to seal this road to reduce the dust and noise for residents from the significant amount of traffic travelling to and from the tip, often laden and pulling trailers,” Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said. “But we underestimated the cost of this job in our funding application and have had to scale it back to the limits of the funding received.” Two factors were not fully costed in the original funding application and both require significant sums. First, the power poles along the roadside need to be relocated. “Sealing the roadway will mean that vehicles will be more capable of travelling up to the current 100kmh speed limit. Leaving the existing power poles so close to the edge of the seal does not meet modern safety standards and this hazard needs to be addressed. We have to relocate them before we seal the section. “Council has decided to relocate all the power poles along the entire two-kilometre section so this task does not need to be revisited in the event we secure additional funds to extend the seal in the future.” The second factor not fully costed in the funding application was the fact that the road cannot be built-up from its current level, as it would act as a greater barrier to the drainage of the floodplain and potentially damage neighbouring cane crops. “Normally for a job like this we would add a new gravel layer to the existing base and then seal over the top. However, at Bartletts Road, it’s critical for our canefarmers that the road is not raised, meaning that we need to excavate out the old road pavement and then rebuild the road formation for the new sealed section. “The cane industry is important for the economic prosperity of the Tweed and Council has an obligation to work with canegrowers around roads and other infrastructure that affects their operations.” The section of road to now be sealed runs from the end of the current seal to Saunders Lane. Roadwork and any detour signage will be posted ahead of construction starting in April for completion by 30 June 2019.

Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham with Water Treatment Supervisor Darren Lyndon and Senior Engineer Michael Wraight happy to receive $325,000 from the State Government towards the upgrade of the Uki Water Treatment Plant.

Council has welcomed a grant of $325,000 from the NSW Government’s Safe and Secure Water Program to upgrade the Uki Water Treatment Plant. The Uki plant was damaged in the March 2017 flood and this upgrade is designed to improve its performance, provide more resilience in times of flood and cater for increased water demand in the future. State Member for Lismore Thomas George announced the grant funding at the plant last week. “This upgrade will provide ongoing security of water supply with improved water quality for the village of Uki,” Manager Water and Wastewater Anthony Burnham said in welcoming the funding. “The State Government’s contribution is significant given the $2 million price tag of this upgrade.” The Uki plant was constructed in 1998 and supplies reticulated water to about 600 people. The upgrade will seek to incorporate additional flood resilience through the design, specifically what materials are used and the elevation of the process units. A new membrane filtration system, coated media filter and UV disinfection system will be added, while the existing chemical dosing systems, switchboard and control system will be upgraded. Construction works may start around July for completion by December 2019.

Barbie prize for neighbourly catch-up events Tweed Shire Council is committed to building healthy, safe and more inclusive communities. That’s possibly why we topped the charts Australia-wide last year in registering 115 Neighbour Day events. This year, on Sunday 31 March, we’d like to see even more neighbours get together. Glenda Mccowatt of Terranora needs no excuse to catch up with her neighbours Kate, Ann and Carole. She believes that knowing each other is in all their best interests as it provides that connection when someone needs a little help. Glenda has lived in many places in Australia and the first thing she does after she moves in is invite the neighbours over. She pops a note with her phone number on it in their letterbox and whether they come over or not, she has given them the means of contacting her in the future. So why not pop a note in your neighbour’s letterbox and register a Neighbour Day event at www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/NeighbourDay. You’ll receive a free support pack for the day and the chance to win a barbecue and barbecue cart valued at $500. “Whether you are getting to know your neighbour for the first time or using the day to finally catch up, Neighbour Day is a great opportunity to make connections,” Council Acting Education Officer Elleni Stewart said.

Development Proposal for public comment

Terranora neighbours Carol, Kate, Ann and Glenda get together to build their friendship and a better neighbourhood.

“We want to encourage more people this year to reach out to their neighbours. A few friendly words across the back fence, inviting your neighbour for a cuppa or stopping for a chat when you’re walking your dog, are all things that can create connections and reduce loneliness.” For more information, contact Elleni by telephoning her on (02) 6670 2567 or emailing estewart@tweed.nsw.gov.au

If you have not had your dog or cat microchipped and lifetime registered in NSW now is the time to do so. Council will soon be undertaking an audit of the NSW Pet Registry (NSW Companion Animal Register) to identify any unregistered animals. If your pet is not lifetime registered you are leaving yourself open to a fine of $305 for each animal plus the animal will still need to be registered and the associated fee paid.

Current NSW Companion Animal Lifetime Registration • $57 – desexed cat/dog (proof of desexing required) • $24 – desexed cat/dog (with Pensioner card discount) • $207 – non-desexed cat/dog

Ensure information on the NSW Pet Registry is current It is a requirement of the Companion Animals Act 1998 (NSW) that you keep the Register up to date with current contact and address details for each of your animals. Should the information on the NSW Pet Registry not be current and your animal goes missing it is difficult for Council officers to get your pet home. There are now two ways that you can update your animal’s details: 1. Council’s Change of Details form – if you have changed address or contact details, if you no longer own your pet or if your dog or cat has passed away, notify Council of any changes in writing. 2. Use the NSW Pet Registry – all pet owners can update their contact details, report missing pets, transfer ownership and pay most lifetime registration fees from their own computer or mobile device. For more information regarding this please see Council’s website or visit www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au Failure to notify change in details on the register for your pets is an offence with a $180 fine per animal. Further information and forms are available on Council’s website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au/MicrochippingRegistration

Challenge on for World’s Greatest Shave event By Jonathon Howard A CHALLENGE is being thrown down this year for Tweed Shire business owners and individuals to sign up for a special World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure event at the Courthouse Hotel on Saturday, March 16, from 5.30pm. There are already almost a dozen local business owners or operators signed up to shave their heads and beards, or colour their hair, in aid of the annual fundraiser for the Leukemia Foundation. The Weekly caught up with event organiser and local builders Steve Dickinson and his son Dylan, who are shaving their heads and possibly beards for the event and are now calling for even more locals to take the plunge for a good cause. Mr Dickinson is from Wide Span Sheds and is currently working on one of the largest single industrial sheds ever built in the Tweed Shire at Thornbill Drive in South Murwillumbah. “As well as shaving our heads, we wanted to throw down the challenge for other businesses to get involved in fundraising and the special event at the Courthouse Hotel,” he said.

“Shane Catania from IGA Murwillumbah will also be shaving and we challenge local business owners and operators to support this great cause and get a staff member to join in by colouring and shaving for charity as well.” The event will include several raffles with plenty of prizes drawn on the night and tickets available at the Courthouse Hotel, plus free face painting for the kids. Donations can also be made via the Courthouse Hotel or via Mr Dickson’s official World’s Greatest Shave home page. “We are legally registered to collect on behalf of the Leukemia Foundation and receipts can be supplied if requested via the foundation,” he said. Among some of the businesses already signed up include IGA Murwillumbah, BP Murwillumbah, Courthouse Hotel, Murwillumbah Hire, Tweed Valley Fruit, Anderson’s Jewellers, Austral Café, Foundry, Scandinavian Cones and JH Williams. Bon Bon Hair Salon Murwillumbah will have a professional hair stylist available on the night to help with head shaves and colours. Please note there’s a minimum of $10 donation to get your hair coloured or shaved.

Tweed 4WD team ready to take on Cliffhanger Service station hold up

By Jonathon Howard A TWEED VALLEY-BASED four-wheel-drive team is set to test their skills against some of the best off-road drivers in Australia at the Cliffhanger Super Tourer 4WD event in Cobar next month. Cliffhanger takes place every two years from April 7 for seven days and involves some of most hair-raising four-wheeldrive action in the country. The Tweed team consists of professional drivers and locals Mal McCalman and Joel Mongan with racing marshals and long-time racing team members Clay Mongan and Rob Beilby. The team has purpose built a monster of a machine known as The General, which is an early model Nissan Patrol. Joel said the team purchased the Patrol for $500 in 2017 and spent the past two years building it into a performance super tourer. The event includes winching up rocks and through mud, speedy creek runs, navigational tasks, rally stages on farm trails and through virgin terrain, but is most famous for its vertical winch walls. The stages are all long lasting and typically combine several facets of winching, navigation and speed. The Weekly recently caught up with the local Super Tourer 4WD team for a preview of The General’s capabilities. “It’s the first time for us to take part in the Super Tourers 4WD challenge this year,” Mal said. “We were bumped up a category after they had too many entrants, but it’s a good challenge for our skills and the equipment this year.” Mal said the team were already ranked in the top ten, but the competition would be fierce from start to finish.

By Jo Kennett A SERVICE station in Murwillumbah was held up on Sunday night, March 3, after a man with a machete demanded cash. Tweed Byron Police Chief Inspector Luke Arthurs said that the robbery occurred at 8.15pm at the BP Service Station on Tweed Valley Way. Police allege that a male armed with a machete entered the premises and threatened the attendant and demanded cash. The man stole a quantity of cash and cigarettes. Tweed Byron Police District detectives attended the scene and conducted a crime scene examination. Ch Insp Arthurs said investigations were ongoing in relation to the robbery and has appealed for witnesses. BP Murwillumbah Manager Michael Fox told The Weekly that the man came in wearing a mask over his head and holding a machete. “He demanded money and took a small amount of cash and some cigs,” Mr Fox said. “No one was hurt and he left - the attendant is fine. “Crime isn’t normally an issue here.” Anyone who with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Mal McCalman and Joel Mongan are ready for the Cliffhanger

Drivers are pegged against each other in a series of difficult terrain courses to navigate through while keeping the pedal to the metal. Mal took The Weekly editor Jonathon Howard for a spin in The General at their home training grounds on Old Crystal Creek Road. “It was a thrill charging across some of the difficult terrain,” Jonathon said. “The suspension is amazing to experience, easily mounting small cliff faces the size of the car itself and maintaining control and speed the whole time. “It’s a big credit to the team for creating such an amazing vehicle and I’m sure

they will produce a great result or have a hell of a time trying.” Mal said the event is taken seriously by drivers attracting some of the best in the business. “It’s a proper competition and drivers take it extremely seriously,” he said. “There’s also twice-daily breath testing – it’s not an average camping trip it’s serious racing.” The team also wanted to acknowledge their committed local sponsors including FSP Fresh Print & Signs, Darren Cormicks Auto Panel & Paint, Auto One Murwillumbah, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, Mal McCalman Bobcat & Tipper Hire, Rods Metal Fabrication, Murwillumbah Car & Truck Electrics.

Pedestrian hit by car

A PEDESTRIAN was struck by a car on Wollumbin Street in Murwillumbah at about 6am on Monday, March 4. Contrary to some social media posts, police said the accident was not a hit and run and the driver was questioned at the scene by police. Tweed Byron Police Chief Inspector Luke Arthurs told The Weekly that a 48-year-old Murwillumbah was driving along Wollumbin Street when he struck a 43-year-old man not known to him. The accident occurred outside Wollumbin Bakery and the driver allegedly remained at the scene with the injured man. Police and ambulance attended the scene and the victim was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital with a head injury. Ch Insp Arthurs said the man was conscious and talking and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. The 48-year-old driver was questioned at the scene but released without charge. If anyone witnessed the accident they are urged to contact Tweed Byron Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Voter receives postal vote form for wrong electorate

By Jo Kennett A VOTER in the Tweed electorate has been sent an application form from Nationals MP Thomas George’s office for a postal vote in the Lismore electorate. A woman who did not want to be named contacted The Weekly to express her concern that the mix-up might see some residents miss out on voting. “We should have received an application for the Tweed electorate because according to the map and the representative in Thomas George’s office, North Tumbulgum is in the Tweed electorate,” she said. “I would assume if they received one for the Tweed electorate at their office they would then send it to Tweed but you don’t know. “People would be confused, and it raises questions about it changing (the boundaries) if you don’t make a call to clarify.” The resident said that as well as being confusing she was probably not the only one that received the wrong application form in the area. “On one side of Dulguigan Road some would be on the Tweed roll and on the other side they may be on the Lismore roll but looking at the map (provided by the NSW Electoral Commission) it’s hard to tell. “You have to go online to get a better sense of where the boundary is but what’s printed on the form doesn’t give you that detail.” The woman contacted Thomas George’s office and was told the boundaries change from time to time to level out the number of voters in electorates

“That’s to balance representation,” she said. “What is more of concern is that the Tweed Shire representation is split down the middle. “Murwillumbah, the centre of the Tweed, is in the Lismore electorate. The coastal part comes into the Tweed electorate. “People would be confused and it raises questions about it changing (the boundaries) if you don’t make a call to clarify.” There were also concerns raised recently that the National Party were able to collect personal data from the application forms. Parts of the Lismore electorate were changed to the Tweed after a 2013 redistribution with new boundaries applying from the 2015 NSW State election. As of February 15, 2019, the number of voters enrolled in the Lismore electorate was 55,973 while 56,750 people were enrolled to vote in the Tweed electorate. Anyone unable to vote on March 23 can download a postal vote form from the NSW Electoral Commission website at https:// www.elections.nsw.gov.au/Voters/Othervoting-options/Postal-voting Meanwhile, pre-poll opens on March 11 until March 22. Pre-polling booths are located at St Cuthberts Anglican Church Hall, 13 Powell Street, Tweed Heads. Tweed Election Office, 77 Minjungbal Drive Tweed Heads South.

Harmony Day is coming

The Halls Tyre Service team are fired up for the 2019 Show ‘n’ Shine on Sunday, March 10

Halls Tyre Show ‘n’ Shine is ready to roll

By Jonathon Howard WEATHER FORECASTS are looking good for the Halls Tyre Service Show ‘n’ Shine charity day on Sunday, March 10, which raises much-needed funds for Wedgetail Retreat and Tweed Palliative Support. The event is set to go ahead for a great cause in what’s become an iconic local event for both families and car lovers alike. The annual charity Show ‘n’ Shine attracts more than 100 outstanding local

cars and motorbikes from across the Tweed Shire and beyond converging on the Halls Tyres site at 1 Mayfield Street from 9am. Halls Tyre Service are again hoping for a strong turnout with more than 1,500 people through the gates last year. Halls Tyre Service owner and event organiser Laurie Hall said previous events have raised around $4,000 for Tweed Palliative Support. “We’re hopeful this year that residents and visitors will again come along on

Sunday and show their support for our nominated charity Wedgetail,” he said. “We’ve also got plenty of activities for the kids this year including the addition of a jumping castle plus all the activities from last year.” The Show ‘n’ Shine will include a jumping castle, live music, kids face painting, raffles, giveaways and of course plenty of beautiful autos to drool over. To find out more about Halls Tyre Service’s Show ‘n’ Shine visit 1 Mayfield Street, phone (02) 6672 1133 or visit their Facebook page.

PREPARATIONS ARE underway for another exciting Harmony Day event in conjunction with the Kingscliff Farmers Markets on Saturday, March 23, which also corresponds with the State Government Election. The Weekly recently met with members of the Tweed Multicultural Group who were successful in gaining a $5,000 funding grant for the event through the ITV Community Initiative Fund. Har mony Day is a day to celebrate Australian multiculturalism, based on the successful integration of migrants into our community and promotes inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians. The Tweed Multicultural Group is comprised of service and community representatives including NSW TAFE, Safer Communities Alliance, Social Futures, Murwillumbah Community Centre, Northern Rivers Gambling Counselling Service, North Coast Settlement Services, Tweed Filipino Support Group and Tweed Shire Council. Event coordinator Kristie Hedley said the network advocates on behalf of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities so that they can contribute and participate in the social and economic life of the region. “This year we have an African band performing under the name Happy African Art, a Hawaiian dance group, Hula Pili Kai, and Samoan and South Sea Islander group, Pasifika Breeze Dancers,” she said. “It’s going to be another big event for the Tweed Shire and it’s on election day which means plenty of people.” There’s also plenty of fun for the kids with children’s workshops including Hoopla Circus and Karma Kids as well as the all new language and craft tent based around language, art and culture. Harmony Day will take place from 8am to 11am. For further information please email Kristie Hedley on Kristie.L.Hedley@tafensw.edu.au

impressed by the progress he made in our gentle and devoted care.” The woman said as foster parents they had to deal with the extreme upset and misbehaviour that followed even a phone call to a stepsibling who had roughed him up in the past. “We were also warned that as well as exploring eventual face-to-face future contact with a mother, that a man who was considered his step-parent might end up being his biological father and claiming him back also,” she said. “While children in care can make up fanciful stories due to their horrendous past, there were actions that we had to report or dissuade him from doing that consolidated that he had been sexually abused. “And if not the direct abusers, then siblings or step family that allowed such things. “How on earth could a healthy soon-tobe-teenager thrive? Give these kids a break.” The woman said the family would have to arrange phone calls to these people or take them to meeting places to allow this contact to occur more and more in the future and was one of the reasons the family gave up foster caring. “We could not live with the hell of forging a stronger and stronger bond with our muchcared-for foster child all the while that the law made us increase contact with his disturbing past that in turn wrecked his contentment and filled his head with vile memories that he acted out,” she said. “And what about our safety? “As he became coherent in his speech under our care, a child could accidentally tell his biological abusers his address with us. “We had heard stories of foster parents getting harassed and were not ready to risk that also. “And then to be told that he could be ripped out of our care if suddenly a perfect stranger or past abuser was going to be given the chance to care for him - with a view to adopt him was the breaking point.” The woman said she felt it was “disgusting” to think about. “If the general public went to the continuing education classes that foster parents are obliged to attend in order to prepare themselves for the worst abuse stories you could possibly imagine - perpetrated by any race of people - and hence the worst children-in-care behaviours, then they would understand,” she said. “You would support a law that loving foster parents, regardless of race, who have a proven record of outstanding care should be able to adopt on the spot particularly when the child themselves say they feel secure for the first time in their life - and you would even agree with a law that cuts off ties forever. “Open adoption should not even be allowed in cases where a child has been badly abused and no relative came forward in so many years, so that the child can get on with a new life without having it ripped to shreds again. “My husband and I got the impression that we were not the only ones that were utterly dismayed by the system and welcome the new change in law.”

By Jonathon Howard IN THE second part of The Weekly's foster parenting editorial feature readers can hear from a Tweed Shire resident who reveals the struggles of her family's attempts to foster an Indigenous child. The family wrote to The Weekly following a report titled “Fears child protection laws could reintroduce stolen generation” (TVW January 31 Page 5), which has sparked a widespread debate about child protection and a child’s connection to cultural heritage. The article focused on concerns from Dharug woman Janette Saunders, who said she is devastated by the passing of a new law which enables children in foster care to be adopted without the consent of their birth parents. Part one was printed on Thursday, February 28. “We were shocked that everyone we met in the foster-care system were dutifully obeying policy but quietly pulling their hair out because they knew the laws were a knee-jerk overcompensation in reaction to the Stolen Generation," the woman said. “For confidentiality reasons we were not told the full reasons for why this child was taken from his family. “But they obviously had nothing to do with skin colour and everything to do with the most terrible crimes you read about in the newspapers. “Worse than that was the increasing contact and ‘say’ that the biological parent(s) were apparently expecting or afforded. “While never taken to court for explicit actions relating to the following, it was apparent from the boy’s behaviours and rough descriptions that his own mother and surrounding step-family had involved him in heavy drug use and prostitution – at one point we had to report that he described how she allegedly forced him to perform a sex act. “However, when reported to the police and interview arranged, as is obligatory, he froze and said nothing. “We found it interesting that other violent acts that we reported towards him from more than one person he identified was already known by the authorities and considered unimportant so it confirmed that our foster child told the truth and evidently there was a past with several people which had cemented the reasons for his placement in care and lack of family coming forward. “The young fellow described how one or more step/siblings used to be violent with him and particularly how (a person) used to break beer bottles on his head. “His rabid grabbing of food and running away to hide and devour it like an animal when he first arrived and which took months to outgrow with our patient reassurances, confirmed shocking neglect. “Yet, apparently, the same original person or persons who inflicted his suffering were going to get more and more rights to see him or to take part in meetings to approve what school or programs he attended. “And this is despite the confirmation by foster organisation staff that they were

NSW VOTES 2019 Q&A with candidates This week The Weekly asked the Tweed and Lismore state election candidates if they believe voters are losing faith in politicians and political parties, and if so why? We also asked how they would propose to reverse this trend. The Greens c a n d i d a t e fo r Tweed Bill Fenelon said voters are losing faith in politicians and political parties because many feel their voices are not heard and their community’s values are not being represented in parliament. “Corporate influence in politics is getting in the way of progress on everything from tackling climate change to housing affordability,” he said. “Instead of delivering a better future for all of us, the Liberal, National and Labor parties take millions of dollars in donations from big corporations with little transparency or accountability. “From local decisions on the site of the new Tweed Hospital and water mining approvals, to national issues like the management of the Murray/ Darling, it is clear that the major parties will put vested interest ahead of community interest every time. “Unlike the major parties, the Greens refuse to take donations from corporations trying to buy political influence. The Greens are focused on outcomes that are good

for our community, not outcomes that suit big donors. “I have a plan to return integrity and transparency to the political system and hold politicians and major parties to account. If elected, I would push for all political donations over $1,000 in any one financial year to be placed on a public website maintained by the electoral office. “I would extend the ban on political donations to include companies, their close associates and industry representative groups involved in mining and petroleum extraction, registered clubs and other not-for-profit gambling entities, and all other industry sectors that pose a significant and specific risk of corruption or damage to the public interest.” Member for Tw e e d G e o f f Provest said t h at a l t h o u g h many people are passionate about their community, they do not like politics or political parties. “They agree that things need to be done but do not agree on how to do them and become frustrated when it takes a lot of time and consultation to produce outcomes,” he said. “The rise of social media allows everyone to have a voice, but too often rumours, opinions and straight-out lies are peddled as facts. “Claim and counterclaim see most people confused as to what is fact

and what is fiction. This leads to cynicism, mistrust and a reluctance to believe anyone, particularly those in leadership positions. “It is impossible to please over 58,000 voters all of the time, but I remain 100 per cent committed to the Tweed, we will follow through on every commitment that has been made in the Tweed and across the whole of NSW. “Politicians on all sides need to remember to focus on good policy; politics can look after itself.” The Animal Justice Party’s (AJP) candidate for Tweed, Susie Hearder, said she believes honesty and integrity are b ec om ing rare and politicians are often breaking their promises. “There is no real transparency in government,” she said. “Decisions are being made at expense of the vulnerable and environment. “We are a nation of animal lovers yet we continue to support abhorrent industries like live export, animal experimentation, animals being mutilated and confined in factory farms, healthy dogs killed in our failed pound system whilst puppy factories flourish, kangaroos being massacred in the largest wildlife slaughter on earth, our iconic koalas being driven to extinction by deforestation/NSW Govt. “Taxpayer dollars continue to fund animal cruelty and gambling in the

greyhound racing industry whilst hardworking volunteer organisations rescue, rehabilitate and rehome greyhounds, pound animals and our precious wildlife without assistance. “Denial on climate change whilst adoration for coal and insult our youth demanding action because they are rightly concerned about their future. “Stadiums being rebuilt whilst homeless rates skyrocket. “State Government overriding local government and the wishes of the community for example the Tweed hospital site”. To address these issues, Ms Hearder said politicians should be working for voters and the community and “not big industry and donors”. Ms Hearder said this could include ending self regulated industries with independent bodies overseeing. “Address conflicts for example the Department of Primary Industries being responsible for animal cruelty. “Stop propping up unsustainable industries. Industries that contribute to the cost of our health system or climate change/environmental degradation taxed accordingly.” Labor candidate for Tweed Craig Elliot said as a fo r m e r p o l i c e officer he knows “that actions speak louder than words”. “Locals tell me they want an MP with real life experience who’ll deliver for them,” he said.

“Residents have a right to feel betrayed and distrustful of Geoff Provest. After eight long years in power our community has lost faith in Mr Provest because of his inaction and broken promises. “To restore faith in politics I’m asking for your support at the upcoming state election. “I have the experience and drive to deliver for our region. I’ll fight everyday to restore frontline services cut under the Nationals. Labor will build the long overdue high school at Pottsville, invest in our local schools and TAFE and deliver 31 extra police officers to the Tweed Byron district. “Labor will also build a new $534 million hospital at Kings Forest and 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 overdevelopment agenda. “It’s not too late to save Cudgen and Kingscliff from the National Party and their developer mates. The proposed site at Cudgen site has no development approvals in place so this election will be a referendum on where you want your new hospital built. “It’s clear that under the Nationals you don’t count, Geoff Provest is splurging $2.2 billion on two existing stadiums in Sydney. If elected, I’ll put our community first.”

New approach to Acupuncture af fordab le for eve r yone in America. It has now taken the country by storm and is starting to grow around Australia. A local client said they visited the clinic having never heard of community acupuncture and absolutely loved the experience.

The Coastal Community Acupuncture team

C O A S TA L C O M M U N I T Y Acupuncture recently opened in Cabarita and has brought a new approach to alternative healthcare to the Tweed Coast. “Many people can’t afford regular acupuncture and the mission with our clinic is to bring quality healthcare that is convenient, affordable and accessible to everyone, that’s why we have a sliding scale of $30 to $50 so after the initial $50 consultation you choose what you pay,” owner Jason Warman said. “There are no questions, no judgements with the same highquality care regardless of the price. “Clients call this their sanctuary and say it’s an escape from their busy lives and a chance to relax

and rejuvenate as well as a place to heal.” Jason and his team specialise in treating all types of pain disorders, musculoskeletal complaints, sports injuries and rehab, skin conditions, stress, anxiet y, depression, insomnia, digestive complaints, women’s health and pregnancy wellbeing. Jason, who is already well known for his professionalism and gentle, soothing manner, also works as a lecturer and clinical supervisor at Endeavour College of Natural Health on the Gold Coast. Community acupuncture - where several patients are treated in the same room in reclining chairs set up like a lounge - started as a way to make alternative healthcare

“There is something very soothing in sharing that space – you almost see your own experience reflected in others and there is this realisation that we all have problems and we all need taking care of at times,” the client said. “It’s really lovely and peaceful and I always leave feeling so much better. “It really helped with a back problem I had – there was a huge difference after only one visit – and also with insomnia. “I’m planning on visiting more regularly to give myself a bit of a treat and to stay healthy. “It’s about the only time you actually stop and get deeply relaxed and you can just see how much everyone loves it.” Jason said the communal acupuncture is a bit like eating in a group instead of eating alone. “Healing together seems to amplify everyone’s experience and I think that’s why everyone walks out feeling so good,” he said.

“There is also the reassurance of knowing you are not the only one, you see other people are in need of healing and are going through issues too and it really brings that sense of community. “The pins used are so tiny they don’t hurt, but if acupuncture isn’t for you we also have Christopher doing reflexology at the same prices. “Clients can even have reflexology and acupuncture at the same time which amplifies healing.” The clinic offers an unlimited visits $200 monthly membership for people with immediate health issues. Jason has studied under some of the world’s most renowned Chinese medical doctors and is a member of the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation A gency (AHPR A) and the

Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS). “We want to re-empower people because healthcare is a human right, it shouldn’t just be for a privileged few,” said. With only a handful around the country we are fortunate to have community acupuncture on the Tweed Coast.

NSW VOTES 2019 Q&A with candidates Labor candidate for Lismore Janelle Saffin said she is concerned by the “significant number of younger people have lost faith in democracy”. “We must make democracy work better by ensuring that its institutions are serving the public interest transparently.

Suzanne to farewell hair for World’s Greatest Shave

By Megan Albany TWEED LOCAL Suzanne Edmunds cannot remember the last time she had short hair but that hasn’t stopped her from volunteering to have it all cut off by her local barber as part of the Leukaemia Foundation’s fundraiser, World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure. On Saturday, March 16, Ms Edmunds will say goodbye to her long locks at the Cabarita Beach Barbershop (Ace Plaza) at 10.30am. She is hoping to raise more than $2,500 to help give families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need. Funds raised will also support vital research to help more people survive blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Despite doing it all for a good cause, Ms Edmunds admits to being nervous about losing her long locks. “My hair’s not quite down to my waist but it’s long enough, so I’m freaking out as it’s been this long for as far back as I can remember,” she said. “I think my bird, Sunny, will miss it the most as he hides under it when we go for a walk because he doesn’t like the outside world. “I can’t even imagine myself with short hair - it’s going to be a bloody shock.” Like many people, however, Ms Edmunds has been touched by having friends and family affected by cancer and she recognises that cutting her hair is a small sacrifice to make in order to help sufferers receive the help and support they need. “My boy’s grandmother lost their hair from cancer and her hair was her everything, so she was devastated and then one of our girlfriends died recently at only 21 so I decided to cut my hair off,” she said.

“If I can give a little bit back then why not - it’s just hair and you never know I might end up with something one day so I am helping a cause that might help me one day.” With one Australian losing their life to blood cancer every two hours it is no surprise that her barber Rod Irving has also been personally touched by blood cancer. “I’ve just had a cousin pass away a couple of weeks ago from leukaemia, he was only 46 and had been battling it for a few years,” Mr Irving said. “My grandfather also passed away from marrow cancer.” Mr Irving said he was expecting a big crowd for the haircut as Ms Edmunds is well known around the area. “Rather than shaving her head I’m actually going to give her a number one, so she’s got a bit of grace,” he said.

“Her hair is halfway down her back so it’s a big move. “She’s a bit of a local character and a lot of people around here know her so we’re expecting a decent crowd.” Local shopkeepers have also donated prizes for a raffle and there will be a sausage sizzle and music by local performers on the day. Ms Edmunds warned that people attending may have to wait a little for the big event. “It will all kick off around 10.30am but I might not end up getting up the gumption to get my hair cut until lunch time - I might need a few wines first,” she laughed. To help in the fight against blood cancer which claims more lives than breast cancer and melanoma, you can sponsor Ms Edmunds by visiting: https://tinyurl. com/y6dsbwg7

Boost to court sitting days NORTHERN RIVERS Courts including Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads courts will receive a boost to their allotted sittings days following a review of the allocated hours by the Chief Magistrate. A total of 10 courts across the Northern Rivers will increasing by a collective total of more than 200 days. Under the changes, Tweed Heads will gain 60 sitting days per year and Murwillumbah will gain 12 sitting days per year. Attorney General Mark Speakman welcomed the establishment by the Chief Magistrate Judge Graeme Henson of the additional circuit in the region to commence from July 1 this year. “Under the changes, Tweed Heads will gain 60 sitting days per year, Lismore Local Court will sit for an extra 36 days and Grafton’s sittings will increase by 24 days,” Mr Speakman said. “Casino, Kyogle, Maclean, Ballina, Byron Bay, Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby will each benefit from 12 extra sitting days a year.” The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is funding the appointment of two extra Local Court magistrates through a $4.1 million package in response to the Child Abuse Royal Commission. “Our country magistrates do an incredible job dealing with a significant and diverse workload. “The Local Court is the busiest and most efficient jurisdiction in Australia, dealing with 96 per cent of all criminal matters from start to finish,” Mr Speakman said. Member for Tweed Thomas George said this was fantastic news for the local courts. “The State Government has given the power to the Chief Magistrate to make these important decision and this is a recommitment to local courts.”

Tweed fishing industry disagrees with Premier on fishing reforms By Jo Kennett LABOR CANDIDATE for Tweed Craig Elliot has promised that a NSW Labor government would hold an inquiry into recent fishing reforms which fishing representatives say have devastated the industry. Mr Elliot met with Vice President of the Wild Caught Fishers Coalition Richard Brown after introducing him to Opposition Leader Michael Daley and Shadow Minister for Primary Industries Mick Veitch when they visited the Tweed last week. “Mick has taken a very big interest in what these blokes do and our commitment in government is to have a totally independent inquiry to establish the facts,” Mr Elliot said. “There are lives and livelihoods at risk now due to what the National Party has done with very little consultation other than dictating from Sydney. “These blokes are getting a raw deal and the consequences of that is that we will lose jobs in the local industry.” When asked about Premier Berejiklian’s claims that the reforms had reduced red tape, Mr Brown disagreed. “They have created much more red tape,” he said. “The government is claiming a success and we have two guys on suicide watch. Local fishermen are suffering untold financial and mental stress. “Retailers are unable to access supply and disease-prone imports

continue to gain traction as a result - that’s very successful. “You only have to look at the outcomes of this reform to see they have no idea what they are doing. “The stress that it’s put their own Department of Primary Industry (DPI) staff under would be immense.” Mr Brown said that food security was now a major global issue. “Globally we are seeing food shortages and this country should be totally reliant on being able to produce our own fresh food,” he said. “We need clean water, clean air and fresh food and to have government departments shutting us out from harvesting and processing on behalf of NSW consumers is reprehensible. “We are food producers and it should be mandated that food harvesters and producers be protected. “We can relate to the Cudgen farmers - if you set a precedent there you set a precedent all around the country - we can relate to the Menindee Lake farmers; all of these are interrelated. “It’s ironic that we have such a debacle going on and the Minister (Niall Blair) responsible is the Minister for Water, the Minister for DPI and the Minister for Trade. “DPI shut down a lot of the research into stock assessment in the industry which just shows it was never about sustainability. “This government is spending a lot of money on rec fishing and the suppliers of merchandise to recreational fishers is a very strong

lobby and we have been getting smashed and losing access.” Mr Brown is also Manager of Markwell Fisheries. “We have probably 10 - 15 people working here throughout the year but another 70 during the season and they are jobs that are gone if we can’t get supply,” he said. “And for no valid reason - we’ve not been given any reason. If it’s based on science and sustainability, we are all for that. “Our numbers have been reduced to less than 800 in NSW and we are seeing a decline in supply not only through operations like ours and through NSW Fisheries co-ops but Sydney fish markets are seeing a big decline in supply - and consequently the residents of NSW are losing access to fresh local seafood and for no valid reason.” Mr Brown represents fishermen from many different sectors but said the mullet that Markwells sells to local seafood outlets, supermarkets and into Taiwan, Japan, Europe and Fiji, is one of the most sustainable fisheries in the country. “Economically it’s a very viable fishery and it’s a species that’s not recreationally caught so it’s not under any heavy impact, unlike non-managed recreational fisheries,” he said. “All our data goes back to fisheries and we are still here after 80 years which shows the longterm sustainability of this fishery. “The fact that now they are tying us up in a lot of respects, as a food

producer and processor, it beggars belief.” Mr Elliot said the public should be able to have access to local seafood. “If you want Australian seafood, local Tweed seafood, we have to manage the resource but we also need to keep these guys sustainable and I think the first step is to have an open, independent inquiry to establish the facts. “The way it’s going on at the moment these guys aren’t getting a fair go and we want to make sure we don’t lose jobs locally.”

Mr Brown said that Mr Veitch was very supportive of their plight. “Mick is very supportive of an inquiry, not only into the industry but into the DPI itself,” he said. “If local fishing businesses are lost they will never be recovered. “If we lose any more commercial fishermen, local seafood businesses and their downline suppliers become unviable and the public will lose access to nutritious local seafood. “You can’t get it back once that commercial fishing knowledge is gone.”

Inspiring story of local business Recycled Mats By Megan Albany INSPIRING TWEED Shire business owner Jennifer Stranan has shared her story around how she is turning trash through her Recycle Mats business into treasures. Ms Stranan, known as JJ, started Recycled Mats at Tweed Heads in 2010 as a practical and artistic way to engage with customers and to engage with Indigenous artists. The business now has more than 130 recycled plastic mat styles and sizes made from 95 per cent recycled materials like polypropylene. Since opening their doors nine years ago, they have removed more than 160 tonnes of recyclable materials from landfill. Working alongside Indigenous artists from around Australia, Ms Stranen told The Weekly she was determined to not only have an environmental product but to also use her one-of-a-kind product to break down cultural barriers. “I’ve always done a lot of travelling and when I used to see someone from a different culture I would think, ‘I’d love to taste their food’, or ‘their clothing is so vibrant and cool’ and I wanted to work out why I look at other cultures in that light but some other people want to put them down even though they don’t know them, just based on a stereotype,” Ms Stranen said. “Being a Kiwi living in Australia I decided to develop multicultural resources for education and the mats were one of those products. “We now work with 16 different artists, over half of which are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as well as Maori, Pacific Islander, and Melanesian artists.”

The clean up crew collected a mountain of rubbish

Clean up day volunteers still finding flood debris One of the amazing mats by Recycled Mats at Uluru. Inset is JJ with her family

The mats proved to be a hit with schools in particular preschools as they are UV treated, mould resistant, washable (they can be hosed down) and light weight for indoor and outdoor use. “It’s been a really beautiful journey working with all the different artists and we’ve had so much positive feedback from educators as it allows them to bring in cultural perspectives into the classroom on a daily basis.” Recycled Mats not only sells to preschools and education facilities but also now sells to the general public. Most recently they were commissioned to create mats which were featured at last year’s Commonwealth Games and the Australian Museum currently embeds cultural perspectives into its programming by using Recycled Mats’ range of Indigenous designs.

“Bundjalung-Yugambeh artist Christine Slabb produced our mats for the Commonwealth Games with a story based on Razorback Hill,” she said. “They used the mat in the Elders areas, the VIP areas and the children’s areas throughout the games, which was pretty exciting.” Recycled Mats have been long standing members of the Indigenous Art Code (IAC.com.au), which helps ensure that the designs and the stories are not only authentic but that the artists who designed them are fairly compensated. Recycled Mats have also teamed up with community groups The Family Centre, Juraki Surf and Hope For Health, producing mats for online purchase with proceeds helping support these local causes. For more information visit www. recycledmats.com.au

THE RAIN did little to dampen the spirits of volunteers who were out in force across the Tweed Shire for Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 3. Pottsville ‘clean machine’ Anthony Kohlenberg has been on a mission in recent months to clean up Cudgera Creek between Pottsville and Hastings Point after being horrified by the amount of rubbish he found while kayaking through the waterway. He was at it again on Sunday and is planning more clean ups in the coming weeks. Council believes much of the rubbish and debris is from the 2017 floods. A Lismore woman visiting the area to see the curlew chick at Hastings Point also joined locals in cleaning up the beach north of Hastings Point. Local school kids also had a big clean up on Friday, March 1 as part of the Schools Clean Up Day which helps to educate students about keeping Australia beautiful. There were clean ups all over the Tweed including at Pottsville, Wooyung, Crabbes Creek, Fingal, Bogangar, Hastings Point, Kingscliff, Fingal, Chinderah, Banora, South Tweed and Murwillumbah although numbers and the amount of rubbish collected has yet to be collated.

Women In Business

Time to celebrate our hardworking local ladies

8, at the South Tweed Sports Club from 10am. Three inspirational women will share a story of their lives to help unravel the roles we all have to play in achieving gender equality. Among the speakers is aspiring school teacher Jasmin Dall’Acqua who told The Weekly she had never considered going to university, as she believed it was unobtainable until she received a Learning for Life Education scholarship from the Smith Family. The next speaker is Lyn McBurney, who is the orchestra manager of the sixty-piece, semi-professional Northern Rivers Symphony Orchestra. A musician and violinist, Ms McBurney is part of a small but dedicated committee that helps coordinate the orchestra’s tri-annual concerts at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre. The third speaker is the founding member and facilitator of the Gold Coast Post Polio Network, Lyn Glover who is determined to bring the little known, long-term effects of polio to the forefront. Since setting up the network almost twelve years ago she has made it her life’s mission to educate not only the general public but also the medical profession and both state and federal politicians about the condition. Ms Glover first contracted the disease at only five years of age after being immunised with a faulty batch of the Salk vaccination in 1958.

Like many polio sufferers she was unaware that there could be longterm complications. She started the Gold Coast Post Polio Network in 2007 with only five members, with the aim of helping people to share information about the daily struggles of living with post polio. The Network has grown ever since and now holds monthly meetings with 30 active members.

Sassy Business Women event at Kingscliff

Another great local event taking place at the Tweed Coast is hosted by the Sassy Business Women of the Tweed Shire who are hosting a special International Women’s Day event at the Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club on Friday, March 8, with another outstanding line up of speakers set to share their success stories. Sassy Business Women co-founder Jordana Edwards said the event will

brain injury in 2016 after a surfing accident overseas. “At the time she was at the height of her career, working as a performance therapist with professional surfers on the world tour,” Jordana said. “The injury incapacitated her - giving her issues with speech, balance, memory and pain amongst other complications. “Unable to work and frustrated with being told she would never be the same again, Donna flew to the USA to begin ground-breaking treatment in the field of brain injuries.” Donna, with the support of many forward-thinking health practitioners has since made a full recovery and is proudly back at work full-time. She is currently writing a book about her experience on the other side of the practitioners’ table. “Our annual International Women’s Day event is not for profit, with a donation of the sales going to the UN Women,” Jordana said. “The UN Women organisation focuses on humanitarian action, eliminating violence against women, women’s leadership and political participation, economic empowerment as well as peace and security for women.” Jordana said the event was sold out in 2018 with 130 tickets sold. “This year we are planning on it being even better,” she said. “Our event will be held on March 8 from 11am at Kingscliff Beach Bowls Club.”

What is one crucial piece of advice you would give other women entering into business?

–C oastal Space Real Estate Coolangatta

Jane Hardy

Belinda Trotman

Starting a new business can be a super busy and stressful time, especially when you have a family in the mix! Just remember to keep your life in balance, stay congruent with your values and celebrate the wins along the way, no matter how big or small! And always be grateful for your customers who support your business and allow you to do what you love.

Go for it! Surround yourself with people who will support you and encourage you to keep going.

– Casuarina Chiropractic

My advice would be to ensure you have a reliable, supportive team that can back you, and not to feel guilty in taking time out for yourself. As women, we tend to put our own needs last when we are juggling work and family – having a work/life balance that works well for you will only allow you to perform at your very best. You and your business will thank you for it in the long run.

Tweed Shire Swimwear designer and entrepreneur Kay Shallcross is a Tweed local success story. Kay moved to the Tweed Shire from Brisbane in 1985 and has lived here ever since. “I worked for solicitors and then moved on to work at Kingscliff Pool as a swim teacher and assisted with running of the Learn to Swim program”, she said. “I swam a lot myself, not competitively, but for fitness and was a member of the Cudgen Surf Life Saving Club where I completed my bronze medallion and did patrols before starting a family.” Kay started Kozii Swimwear in 2003, when she took on an already established small business from another local woman. Kay started in her garage at her Kingscliff home and used contract workers to create training swimwear for sale. She then purchased sewing machines and employed a lady to sew for her. “I worked three days per week at a local law firm and worked on Kozii the other days and many late nights,” she said. Kozii grew substantially in Kay’s garage, until after years of hard work she saw a chance to expand. “I was quite successful in promoting Kozii to surf clubs, swim clubs and private schools as I supplied a

good quality product,” she said. “In 2011 with the assistance of my partner, Barry Swain, we decided to move into a factory at Tweed Heads South and purchased machinery to do our own sublimation printing of fabrics to use in our swimwear. It wasn’t too long until we ran short of room in this factory and then leased another factory for our sewers to work from.” It was July 2016, that Kozii moved to a much bigger factory where it remains today. “Kozii has been very well received by both our clubs and retail clientele as we maintain a good quality product made in Australia which is quite unique in itself in today’s market” she said. Kozii swimwear is available to purchase on our website and at our factory shop (15/23 Enterprise Avenue, Tweed Heads South). “We are all about supporting juniors in sport and this is why we oﬀer a lot of sponsorship and support to nippers” Kay said her advice to other budding entrepreneurs was to “never lose sight of your dreams and never give up”, she said.

Katherine came from a Sydney corporate background and used her marketing and business skills to expand the Post Office’s product lines into an extensive range of children’s books, quality greeting cards and stationery. She embraced Australia Post’s push into technical products, banking facilities with most of the major banks and credit unions, money transfers, travel money and insurance plus photographs for passports and bus licences and saw the business thrive.

Welcome funding for domestic violence but still a long way to go By Megan Albany THE DIRECTOR of Tweed domestic violence service provider Momentum Collective, Sarah Walker, has welcomed the announcement of additional funding for the sector by both the government and the opposition. A funding package of $328 million for domestic violence services is being promised by the federal government for both existing and new services with priority being given to frontline services, safe places and prevention strategies. Labor has pledged $60 million to fund 20,000 ‘flexible support packages’ for women and children escaping domestic violence to help rebuild their lives. “Certainly all of the announcements from the parties in NSW have been very exciting to hear and we are waiting to hear if they are going to address some of our key needs,” Ms Walker said.

Sarah Walker

“It’s extremely important that we know what services will get ongoing funding,” she said. “We’ve just found out our domestic violence response enhancement will be funded for another year which is so important as that provides a 24 hour service to provide accomodation. “Given that domestic and family violence predominately happens between five and nine at night if we only had daytime services there would be a huge gap.” Ms Walker said that Labor’s promised flexible support packages would enable service providers to better meet their client’s needs. “Tailored support is a step in the right direction from the Labor Party as it recognises the diversity of women needing support which will make a difference to our ability to address the needs of women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds,” she said. Ms Walker also welcomed the government’s approach of targeting specific areas of need in particular the abuse of women with an intellectual disability and financial abuse. “We work with many women and children that are experiencing disabilities as a result of domestic violence and there are also many women and children who experience domestic violence because of their disabilities,” she said. “Financial abuse has always been part of domestic violence but with the growing financial pressures of today it is becoming more prevalent.”

A lack of affordable housing, refuges and social housing continues to be an issue for services in the area according to Ms Walker who echoed the sentiment expressed by Bill Shorten in announcing the funding when he said “Instead of asking, ‘why did she stay?’ we need to ask ‘where could she go?’ “We see too many women who return to violent relationships due to having nowhere to go after seeking assistance,” she said. “It’s hugely disheartening to see women having to go between refuges and couch surfing only to make a decision it’s too hard to keep moving and to decide to go home. “One of our key issues in Northern NSW is that we are the second highest in the state for rough sleepers other than Sydney and some of those rough sleepers are women and children who have experienced domestic violence.” Ms Walker went on to say that if there was to be a future free of domestic violence that specialist services for children were essential. “I would like to see a focus on specialist services for children who have experienced domestic violence. “There are many studies showing that trauma stunts brain development at a young age and experiencing domestic violence can put children on a trauma trajectory throughout their life. “We don’t have any specific specialist services for children and youth and that is key to set up a future where domestic violence is not acceptable.

Despite the promises from both sides of the political divide Ms Walker said that statistics still remained unacceptable and that funding needed to be directed specifically to regional Australia. “One in three women on average will experience domestic violence and sexual violence and unfortunately around one woman a week is killed in Australia by her partner or ex-partner. “We do see regional and rural areas missing out a lot on funding so it’s about waiting and seeing if this will be serious investment to help women and children regardless of their location, age race and abilities.” For anyone experiencing domestic family violence you can call Momentum at any time on 1300 355 305 for assistance in the Tweed area or call the national helpline 1800 737 732 (1800 respect) or the domestic violence line on 1800 656 463 or visit www.1800respect.org. au. If you don’t have access to a phone or internet you can visit Momentum at 44A Wharf Street, Tweed Heads.

Minister identifies Tweed as priority region for domestic violence services

Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and Shadow Minister for Small Business Jenny Aitchison recently met with Wollumbin Family Support Centre Inc to consult about a whole of government approach to reduce and eventually end domestic violence and sexual assault in the region.

“We know where the most urgent places are in terms of funding needs and Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley have been identified as one of these places,” Ms Aitchison said. “I’ve been to more than 50 areas over the last three years and have done community consultation in those areas. “In areas where there’s not enough capacity for women and children in the available refuges we need to be able to empower people to stay in their home. “This can include things such as updating their home security system, changing locks, putting grills on their windows and screen doors on their house as well as even updating cyber security so they can’t be tracked. “Of course this isn’t possible for every situation, some women will have to move away so they can’t be found but it’s about providing what works for that local woman rather than what works for the service provider to fund.” Ms Aitchison said that Labor was also investigating the establishment of domestic violence and sexual assault courts to help make the process of convicting perpetrators easier on victims. “Domestic and family violence is a complex matter and we need people who really understand what violence is and that’s why we are looking at the establishment of special domestic violence and sexual assault courts that have specialist waiting rooms to protect victims of domestic violence and survivors,” she said.

Listen to locals to tackle housing crisis

Birdlife Australia looking for young ambassadors By Jo Kennett BIRDLIFE AUSTRALIA is looking for young Tweed locals aged 13 to 16-years old to participate in a Coastal Ambassadors Youth Program on March 16 and 17 at Hastings Point. The aim of the program is to raise awareness about beach-nesting birds and to build networks and ambassadors within local coastal communities to champion their conservation. The event will involve speakers from Seabird Rescue, the Marine Environment Museum at Hastings Point, and BirdLife Australia. “This isn’t done in isolation as these birds are an indicator of coastal health, so helping them can be as broad as collecting marine debris to protecting the broader coastal environment and ecosystem,” Grainne Maguire, Coastal Birds Program Manager with BirdLife Australia said. “From the invertebrates on the rocky intertidal shelves to individual beach user behaviours, every interaction is important to

the survival of these birds and the future of our coasts. “We are running a two-day course to provide our future community members and possibly even leaders, an opportunity to learn, act on, and share knowledge about the coast and conservation issues.” Experts will run both indoor and field sessions on Shorebirds, Turtle Rescue, Marine Debris, Intertidal Fauna and the Coastal Habitat. The program was instigated following the survival of a critically endangered beach-stone curlew chick born in a busy park in the coastal village. Three endangered pied oystercatcher chicks were also born in the estuary over spring and summer. The workshop will run on Saturday and Sunday, March 16 - 17, at the Marine Environment Museum, Hastings Point. Limited places are available so please register by March 8. For more information on the event, please contact: bnb.events@birdlife. org.au

GREENS CANDIDATE for Lismore Sue Higginson has called on the government to listen to local housing organisations to ensure a workable solution is tabled to help create more affordable housing. “We need to listen to what our frontline responders such as North Coast Community Housing and Social Futures are asking for,” Ms Higginson said. “What North Coast Community Housing has been pointing out for over a decade is that we have stopped investing in the building of social and affordable housing and that we can’t afford to do this anymore.” Ms Higginson said the region needed to be building at least 100 houses every year for the next ten years as a minimum step to reduce the demand created by the backlog. “Successive governments have neglected public housing for decades,” she said. “They have assumed property developers and investors will provide housing stock and everyone will somehow afford their own home through the private market.” The result, according to Ms Higginson, is that there are now over 3,000 people on the social housing wait list in our region.

Ms Higginson said movements such as the tiny house movement were now being embraced by those working at the front line of the housing crisis as a possible solution. “We need to refocus and embrace housing innovation,” she said. “Our region has been at the forefront of pioneering different ways of having a safe place to call home. “We have landshare and multiple occupancy projects that have shown there are ways of creating diverse homes for people, particularly embracing the much-needed notion of sustainability,” she said. “One such concept is small housing. “Small houses provide diversity in housing choice and are known around the worlds as eco houses, tiny homes, granny flats, green homes, kit homes, prefabricated modular houses, small lot housing, courtyard houses, backyard cabins, studios, affordable accommodation, zero lot line houses, container homes and the like.”

Police nab man after he jumped in the river

TWEED POLICE with the assistance of PolAir and Marine Rescue have tracked down and arrested a man after he attempted to flee officers by jumping into the Tweed River on Monday, March 4. Officers were called to a caravan park on Dry Dock Road at about 7pm following reports of an intoxicated man. “As officers from Tweed/Byron Police District approached the man he allegedly ran into the water and started swimming away from shore,” police said. “Due to his level of intoxication and concerns for his welfare, officers called for assistance from the Westpac Rescue Helicopter

and Marine Rescue NSW, however, they were unable to locate the man. “PolAir joined the search and located the 26-year-old man on nearby Boyds Island. “Marine Rescue NSW volunteers returned to shore and collected police who made their way to the island to arrest the man.” He was taken to Tweed Heads Police Station where he was charged with a warrant for domestic violence matters. He was refused bail and appeared in Tweed Heads Local Court on Tuesday, March5.

Railway Action Group lobby group continues campaign By Megan Albany THE NORTHERN Rivers Railway Action Group (NRRAG) recently met with Country Labor candidate for Lismore Janelle Saffin, to give her a copy of a petition with 6,500 signatures calling for the reinstatement of trains in the region. Beth Shelley, spokesperson for NRRAG, said that they believe supporting trains in the Northern Rivers could be an election issue and a vote winner. “We ask Labor to support regular, commuter rail services for the Northern Rivers on the Casino to Murwillumbah line,” Ms Shelly said. “The LNP government has just announced a plan to build light rail from Tweed to Coolangatta so introducing rail services here and extending it to Tweed would mean we could catch trains to Coolangatta. “This government is looking at reinstating regional rail lines at Cowra, Tocumwal and around Dubbo and building a rail maintenance facility at Dubbo to stimulate jobs. “A new railway line from Canberra to Eden is estimated to cost $2.95 billion. The population of Eden is 3,151. “Regional rail is opening up again, why not here?” Ms Saffin voiced her support for the work of the NRRAG and said she would send the petition to the Shadow Transport Minister, Jodi McKay. “They always say it’s not going to pay its way,” Ms Saffin said. “But public services aren’t meant to pay their way or rather they do pay their way by providing public services.

“I would’ve never let Michael Costa close that line, it would’ve been over my dead body. “For years the Nationals promised to bring back trains and they haven’t.” Ms Saffin also suggested that the divide between the NRRAG and those supporting a Rail Trail was not necessary and that she was happy to facilitate a meeting with the aim of a win-win outcome for both stakeholders. “There’s a fight between rail and rail trail but why not join together and say we want both,” Ms Saffin said. “If there’s a united group who can say this is what we want for here and we’re clever enough, we can make things sit side by side. “I think we need those conversations and I’m happy to facilitate.” The rail group stated they were willing to discuss the prospect of having both. Meanwhile, Marie Lawton from Northern Rivers Rail Trail said that no amount of petitioning would bring trains back to the region. Tweed Shire Council has also put the trail out for tender. “I’ve been told by just about every politician I’ve spoken to that it doesn’t matter how many signatures they get on their petition the train isn’t coming back,” Ms Lawton said. Ms Lawton went on to say that the existing train lines did not go through major population areas and were unviable. “If we had a fast train running along the coast it would be a different story but not along that corridor,” she said. “It’s all about money and viability, seriously no one is going to use that line, only a couple of people will use it to get to the beach.

“Small buses, preferably electric buses would serve our community much better.” Ms Lawton said she couldn’t comment about the reinstating of trains in other regional areas. “I can’t comment about what they are doing in other places but I doubt that they will reinstate it, but people say all sorts of things before elections. “I know that the Labor and Liberal parties both support rail trails - if you want green active transport then the rail trail is the answer as it provides for cycling and walking. “Public transport is important but it’s a separate issue.”

Rally set to show support for railway in the Tweed Shire

A combined rally organised by TOOT (Trains On Our Tracks) and the Northern Rivers Railway Action Group will be held on Sunday, March 10, from 3pm to 6pm at the Billinudgel Pub. Organisers are calling on attendees to arrive in time for a photo of the crowd at 5.30pm. The group photo will be sent to politicians to show support for the return of a rail based integrated public transport system in the Northern Rivers. The event will be held in conjunction with celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Ocean Shores and will feature speakers, music and a sausage sizzle. Musicians include award winning country singer Clelia Adams, local poet and singer/songwriter Ray Essery, environmental songman Chris Fisher, socially aware singer/songwriter Wendy Ford, all girl band Cheryl and the Muffin Tops, country blues man Stan Ceglinski and Aloha Hula.

Pancakes galore for good cause WHILE EATING pancakes is not exactly a tough job, raising funds can be. But to help make the lives of patients and their families in palliative care a little easier, the team from Mountain View Friends of Wedgetail recently held a pancake and coffee morning. Over 65 guests enjoyed the pancakes, donated by IGA Tweed Valley Way, raising $724 for Wedgetail Retreat. Wedgetail Retreat is a non-government funded palliative care hospice which provides end-of-life care including the support of physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of a patient and their family. The aim of palliative care is to manage people’s symptoms such as pain and to help them find peace and dignity in the last days or weeks of their life. Tweed Palliative Support provides Home Hospice care and Wedgetail Retreat provides live-in Hospice care that is provided free or donation-based.

Heather to open first M-Arts program for 2019 carry that trauma. People still can’t listen to the rain. “Our daughter and granddaughter were upstairs and I was saying, get on a boat. One of the pieces I did, They Came by Boat, was to acknowledge the SES because they came and rescued everyone. “The paper I used was left over from some paper I’d made for a lifejacket in protest against the government’s treatment of refugees.” The exhibition will be held in the newly appointed M-Arts Precinct in the long gallery upstairs. It will be opened by Julie Barratt, Regional Arts Officer, Central Queensland Regional Arts Service Network. Julie is a former Northern Rivers artist and gallery owner who joined with Heather Mathew to curate the international exhibition A Book About Death Australia at the Tweed Regional Gallery in 2013. “Deluge” opens at the M- Arts Precinct at Murwillumbah on Friday, March 15, at 5pm.

“I feel like I have moved through it. You wouldn’t wish it on your best friend but it has transformed me and completely transformed by art practice. “The famous Australian artist John Wolseley often takes his paper out and buries it to get those marks on it, that’s not intentional. These marks on the paper were unintentional, nature did it and it was that whole collaboration with nature that I felt like I was undergoing, to stand back and let the work tell its own story. “I found that these pieces of paper talked to each other. “I was just really the facilitator putting them together, especially in the Silt series. “In Trace it’s more like traces of my memory, of the mud and rubbish, the “Deluge” - the overwhelm, you just walk around in circles and go, where do I start?” Heather remembers some of the people who came to help them out during this traumatic time. “ We h a d t h e s e wonderful people that turned up from Brisbane w i t h wh e e l b a r row s, shovels and gumboots once the roads opened they were amazing,” she said. “A mum and a daughter, t h e n my d a u g h t e r s ’ friends and their partners. “Deluge acknowledged and validated the trauma and I think a lot of people in Murwillumbah still

If you remember Nadine Labaki’s film Where Do We Go Now about Lebanese women both Christian and Muslim trying to prevent their husbands going to war, you will know that she is a director interested in big issues. The one tackled in her latest film Capernaum is huge: a 12-year-old boy suing his parents for giving him life. It sounds incredibly sad and almost unbelievable, but it is not far from the truth, as the protagonists of the film – non-professional actors - are not very different in real life from the characters they interpret in the film. The story is about Zain, a Lebanese boy living in a squalid apartment with his parents and siblings, who instead of going to school has to work at making drugs to be smuggled into prison and sold to inmates. When the sister whom Zain loves the most is sold for marriage at 11 years of age, the incensed boy runs away, ending up in the home of Rahil, an illegal Ethiopian worker who takes pity on him. But one day Rahil is taken away by the police because of her lack of documents and Zain is left to fend for himself and for Rahil’s infant child, and has to resort to increasingly desperate measures to survive. The story is told in flashbacks when Zain is in jail serving a fiveyear sentence after committing a violent crime, and when the sensitive and yet tough kid with righteous resentment decides to sue his irresponsible parents for having given him life. The film title Capernaum means ‘a confused jumble’, which refers to the pile-up of negative forces that overwhelm the characters. The movie won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for Best Foreign Language film at the Academy Awards.

By Megan Albany POTTSVILLE ARTIST Heather Matthew has used her experience during the floods in 2017 to create Deluge, a series of art works that feature as the M-Arts first exhibition for the year on March 15. Heather’s Murwillumbah studio was inundated and much of her art material damaged during the floods but she has transformed many of the flood damaged papers into new art works which helped her own recovery from the devastating floods. “The Trace series is all to do with the debris collected out on the streets and the new landscapes which appeared,” Heather, the Secretary of the Hand Paper makers and Paper Artists (IAPMA), told The Weekly. “There was a little forest in mud dripping from the tree branches near Stafford Street. “I thought I had finished with making flood artworks (after Trace) but then I had all these old Mexican posters which were also rescued from the flood - they were posters of revolution and Mayan women raising their hands and the rise of the feminine - I realised it’s all about resilience and how we survive. “I called this series Reframing the Past, Imagining the Future.” The exhibition also includes a video of the flood waters in Stafford Street and what the studio looked like when Heather first walked in. “Art has this transformative quality - as you do it you undergo a transformation from within,” she said.

She hitchhiked the coast of Australia on cattle trains, always with a guitar on her back, living and storing tales to tell. Marshall plays a Fender acoustic steel-top resonator guitar and her guitar skills have been praised, particularly the use of slide guitar which is a must see. She has been the only woman invited to play at the Cork International Guitar Festival and she is particularly keen on regular live performances, saying “if you have a good record then you should make sure you give it a good walk”.

Back in Australia, nine years after headlining Blues on Broadbeach and Cairns Blues Festival in 2010, Marshall returns a veteran of the European blues scene, with performances in Glastonbury, London Blues Festival, France’s Carpe Diem and Chorus Blues Festivals, and Cyprus’ Sundance Roots Festival. Often compared to Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin, Marshall trained as a croupier

By Megan Albany TWEED LOCAL Kerry Turner is a proud Kullili and Arapaho woman with a passion for events and their impact on local communities. After years of working for the Glastonbury festival in London she moved back to the Tweed where she started Foodie Fest with the aim of creating much more than just a festival. The event, which this year will be held in conjunction with MAT19, Kinship Festival and the Makers and Finders Market, is currently in need of volunteers to help not only boost the success of the combined MAT19 festival but to increase economic growth in the region. “I used to work at Glastonbury and I have a big background in events,” Ms Turner said. “Events are economic drivers in rural and regional communities and when I was in London I saw events like this save whole towns that were economically depressed and I wanted to bring that model back here. “I believe we have a duty of care to provide a future for those who come after us and in this area we have 22 per cent youth unemployment and events like this can be used to help build social enterprise.” Ms Turner told The Weekly that events with over 5,000 people can help drive the economy and by combining the region’s events she said organisers were hoping to attract over 10,000 people to the area. “I believe it’s an amazing destination and MAT19 gives us an exceptional opportunity to showcase the diversity of the region,” she said. “We need to bring as many people into the area as we can so we are successful next year with regional flagship funding.” Ms Turner said volunteers were needed to collect surveys of participants to help with future funding as well as to bump in and bump out the individual events.

“We need volunteers to sit in the galleries and help with the 1,000 surveys we need to collect,” she said. “We need around 30 volunteers, especially youth who can help with site set up, crew, bumping in and bumping out and waste management.” Michael Simmons who is President of Creative Caldera, which is helping to coordinate the festival, said that volunteers would not only be able to add the experience to their resume but would receive bonus incentives. “Our volunteers will be visitor experience ambassadors and will get a volunteer pack including a voucher for two people to go on a seafood rainforest cruise valued at $190,” Mr Simmons said. “There are so many really passionate, highly skilled people involved in this event and we’re bringing all our skills together to create something our area can be really proud of. “It’s a multi-faceted event and visitors to the Tweed will really enjoy that experience.” To volunteer to be part of this year’s MAT19 crew phone Volunteer Co-ordinator Sue Togo on 0410 751 702.

IN CELEBRATION of International Women’s Day on Friday, March 8, the new Gallery DownTown in Murwillumbah invites you make a Blue Jean Sisters doll. The doll is a symbol of nurture and comfort to children everywhere, and by joining in, you can be part of an important movement for social change. Join artist Belinda Smith at Gallery DownTown - the annexe of the Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre in the M-Arts Precinct on Brisbane Street - to sew a Blue Jean Sisters doll. The dolls will culminate as an installation for the exhibition A Fierce Hope, at Adderton: house & heart of mercy in Brisbane during August 2019. Belinda’s goal for this installation is to gather 2,000 dolls handmade at workshops and at home, by the public and by the artist herself. Using the same pattern and materials (reclaimed denim), every doll will have its own variations in colour and workmanship. It is hoped that people sharing in this project will reflect on the decisions they make about the clothes they wear, who made them and under what conditions.

Pottsville Men’s Shed celebrates one year Look out for crazy ants

By Jonathon Howard THE POTTSVILLE & District Men’s Shed celebrated its first anniversary since opening their new shed at the Black Rocks Sports Field on February 21, 2018. More than 100 people attended the event with Pottsville & District Men’s Shed President Johno Smith opening proceedings and welcoming State Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest as well as Tweed Shire Councillors Chris Cherry and Warren Polglase, Pottsville Community Association President Melony Ruddy and Secretary Penny Hockings. The shed’s social organiser Craig Buttfield reflected on the past 12 months, stating that membership has more than doubled to 75. “The committee are already focussing on extending the shed to cater for the ever-rising membership,” he said. “The shed activities have multiplied and extended way beyond the original activities of making and repairing articles for the Pottsville community.” Mr Buttfield said there are now walking and bike-riding groups, a gardening group started up by the ladies, darts competitions, a euchre group, a planned golf day and bi-monthly mixed dinners. “All these activities go towards the core objectives of the shed of undertaking projects for the local community and giving men the opportunity for social interaction, which is a major element for maintaining men’s health and enjoyment of life,” he said. “There are several members with disabilities for which attendance at the shed is a highlight of their week.” Pottsville & District Men’s Shed foundation president Alan May welcomed Michael Ryan for the

Cutting the cake for the first birthday of the Pottsville & District Men’s Shed

presentation to him of the shed’s first life membership. “Michael played a significant role in securing the move to Black Rocks,” Mr May said. “His leadership played a key role in the face of much vitriolic opposition to this move. “As the site at the Pottsville Beach Public School had to be vacated, the shed would have folded without a premises.” Mr Ryan then spoke about the objectives of the Australian Men’s Shed association, which comprises over 1,000 sheds throughout the country. “These objectives were to bring men together to break anxieties, particularly with social and medical issues,” he said.

Michael observed that the support and direction shared at the Pottsville Men’s Shed amongst the members has been a huge help to many. Geoff Provest unveiled a honours board featuring the executive committee members since the foundation six years ago. “Geoff has walked the journey with the shed’s relocation to Black Rocks,” Mr Ryan said. “He commented on the value of the shed in changing men’s lives from, as an example, sitting at home on antidepressants, to doing something useful. “This has not only changed them and their home lives for the better, but has also strengthened the local community.”

TWEED SHIRE residents are being reminded to look out for yellow crazy ants (YCA) after NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) staff recently undertook a surveillance blitz across the Northern Rivers, with more than 600 random visits to determine the extent of the pest ants. YCA were first detected in central Lismore in May 2018, and an ongoing response has been in place since that time. State YCA Planning Manager, Scott Charlton, said the latest surveillance operation will help determine if the Lismore infestation is just an isolated event, or if there are further populations in the North Coast area. “While we are happy with progress on the infestations we know about, we need to be sure that there are no other populations that have not been reported,” he said. “There has been an impressive response from the community in reporting the ants and fortunately no new sites found outside of the known infestation areas. “This surveillance weekend will ultimately establish proof of freedom from the ants in the North Coast area.” Mr Charlton said dog surveillance is also giving DPI some very specific information about the nest locations in the CBD and Terannia Creek areas. “The great news is we are having some success, with some sites now persistently free of ants, and native ants have moved back in,” he said. “There has also been a significant decrease in the number of nests and ant sightings, and we now have an APVMA permit for a new bait which is proving very effective in the wet conditions that normally occur in Lismore. “The recovery of native ant populations suggests that we are getting things right and that environmental impacts are being minimised.” All baiting used during the response follow strict APVMA guidelines and as part of the permit conditions insecticide will not be placed near waterways or stormwater drains. Teams from NSW SES and RFS will be supported by NSW DPI, Local Land Services and National Parks & Wildlife Service, will conduct the surveillance operation.

HOT WATER

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

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

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

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

Holding with Shot Judy Tuckey WHILST CYCLONIC winds made conditions difficult during the preliminary rounds of the District Men’s Fours championships last week, the weather was definitely kinder to the contestants at the finals conducted at Bangalow last Sunday. Semi-finals in the Open Fours at Bangalow were both very much one sided contests score wise as the winning combinations went forward to the finals. Mullumbimby’s Richie Northcott (S), Ben Leeson, Trent Forman and Paul Gray, always tough to contain, kept Cabarita’s Rowan Norris (S), Boyd Kelly, Laurie Freeman and Dennis Blackadder well at bay throughout the game to claim victory with a solid margin. On Rink 5, Ocean Shores’ Troy Makin (S), JT Gray, Graeme Condi and John High, another tough team on the circuit, whilst challenging Pottsville’s John Koning (S), Ken Morris, Ken McInnes and Peter McGuinness basically duplicated Semi One results in defeating their opposition and also with a huge surplus. The Mullumbimby Vs. Ocean Shores final in this category was, as expected, a top class game with high quality bowls delivered by both teams. Team Northcott enjoyed a narrow lead throughout the game as they meticulously delivered the shots, when necessary, to hold out team Makin and claim the title. Both Reserve Grade semi games conducted at Pottsville resulted in victory being conceded before the whole 21 ends

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals had been concluded. Bangalow’s Richard Rombouts (S), Jeff Nolan, Ian Dall and Terry Wright bout with Ocean Shores’ Peter Hain (S) Brian Howell, Hilton Stephenson and Darrin Blake began on a reasonably even keel during the first seven ends. However, the Bangalow team powered up and broke away to haul in a handy lead and were 10 shots up after 17 ends. Collecting a 5 on the 18th and a four on the 19th gave the lads an unbeatable score resulting in the teams shaking hands. Semi Two involved Ocean Shores’ D. Hayer (S), Stewart Preston, David Mudge and Brad Hay challenging Kingscliff’s Robert Lewis(S), Tony Wonka, Noel Dunstone and John Watson. Team Hayer had the upper hand with a reasonable margin for the first 10 ends, then cranked up and kept the Kingscliff lads scoreless for the next eight ends to build up a solid buffer resulting in their opposition conceding defeat. The final saw Ocean Shores’ lads build up a 16-1 lead after nine ends before the Bangalow team fired up. As a battle royale ensued, Bangalow produced a mighty effort in limiting Ocean Shores to a mere 4 shots during the remainder of the game only to go down fighting by one shot. Senior Fours semis played at Ocean Fours produced great bowling displays as both rinks required an extra end to declare the winner. Cabarita’s Greg Matfin (S), Bob Gormly, John Madden and Jim Cook were challenging Condong’s Robert McBurney (S), Peter Ayres, Jo Andrassy and Terry Walsh. Following seesawing scoring the Condong lads grabbed the lead on the fifth end and held that position for the next ten ends. However, a strong fight back had Cabarita take over control to be four shots up on the 19th end. A resurgence from McBurney and co saw them even the score on the last end

to force an extra end. In a nail biting finale the lads collected the one shot needed to give them a berth in the final. Semi Two with Ocean Shores’ Ray Linabury (S), Peter Quirke, Peter Davidson, and John O’Connor facing off against Byron Bay’s Werner Borkhardt, Philip Boyd, Peter Darby and Jim Clarke was another topsy turvey scoring game as the lead changed several times during this tightly contested match. Down four shots coming into the last end, the Bay lads fired up and evened the score to force an extra end. Holding on strongly they then collected the shots to take them forward to the final. Condong’s team McBurney took control from the beginning of their final’s clash with Byron Bay’s Borkhardt and co and were sitting on 15-10 after 12 twelve ends. They then only conceded one shot to Byron Bay during the remainder of the game to claim victory with a solid margin. See you on the greens. Good bowling everyone.

Tapped in to the waves

With Terry Tappa’ Teece

2020 WELL EVERYBODY knows that Kelly Slater has said that this will be his final year. But will it be his final year? Slater has announced he will be competing in the Vissla Sydney Surf Pro, a QS6000 event, not long before the opening event of the Championship Tour at Snapper Rocks. But is there another angle. If Slater does prequalify for the tour in 2020, this makes him eligible for the USA Olympic team. Now is there another agenda here. It is much easier to re-qualify when you have a great seed into the qualifying events when you are on the Championship Tour. Now is there a better way to finish your career than representing the USA in the Olympics? Slater would not have to surf the whole year but a swan song at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics would be pretty amazing, and with Slater knocking on the door of 50 years of age would be an amazing achievement. Slater normally avoids all WQS events, so competing in Sydney has definitely pricked up a few ears. Only time will tell, but nothing would surprise me with Kelly Slater, the guy has won 11 titles, and even though out for most of 2018, still picked up 3rd places at his wave pool (Will the Olympics have a wave pool?) and the Pipeline Masters. For my money, I reckon if Slater does enough to re-qualify for the 2020 Championship Tour, be prepared to see a Mr Robert Kelly Slater representing the USA in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It will be a case of wait and see.

Redbull Airborne at Snapper

Well they will have to change the flight path into Coolangatta airport, with the WSL announcing the Red Bull Airborne Series. “After the success of the Red Bull Airborne France in 2018, we are excited to launch the Red Bull Airborne Series,” said Sophie Goldschmidt, WSL CEO. “Thanks to Red Bull’s support, we can now launch Red Bull Airborne events on the Gold Coast, in Keramas, and in Hossegor. Additionally through this partnership, Red Bull will activate against the WSL’s unique Championship Tour and Big Wave properties to engage both consumers and athletes. By working closely with

Red Bull, their innovation and support will help us further elevate and promote the sport.” The Red Bull Airborne Series will feature an 18-surfer field across two rounds. The first round will host six qualifying heats with six surfers in each heat. The second round will be the six-person Final. All three events will run in conjunction with the 2019 Championship Tour stops on the Gold Coast, in Keramas, and in Hossegor. Josh Kerr California resident, Snapper Rocks Member, former CT surfer and universally-regarded as one of the most progressive aerialists in the history of surfing, is one of the co-developers of the Red Bull Airborne Series and will serve as Competition Director. Kerr views the Red Bull Airborne as the first step towards providing tomorrow’s surfers with a new platform for innovative expression in the water. It will be an exiting little side to the Gold Coast Pro, and if the surf is average over one of the weekends, it is almost guaranteed that is when the event will be on.

Jetski Riders Fined on the Gold Coast

Well the Gold Coast Marine Safety Officers were at Kirra taking photographs to identify riders on jet skis at Kirra during the Cyclone Oma swell. 18 seconds magazine published a photo of the officer with a mid sized lense, and at least five have received fines in the mail. It is a controversial issue. Gold Coast law stipulates that if you’re within 200 meters of someone in the water – whether that’s a swimmer or surfer – you’re required to travel at less than six knots an hour. Looking at videos from Cyclone Oma, it’s clear this law was neglected by many ski drivers, resulting in the officer’s actions. Now at Burleigh, I only know of about a handful of surfers who successfully got out the back under their own power. But the Jet Ski pilots were helping them into the waves and picking them up. It was really heavy stuff, and I believe was all good. At Kirra on the other hand there were hundreds of surfers out there paddling and there were a couple of reported and documented very close calls. One day it was 4-6 foot and crew were doing step-offs out there! Really, I think people using skis in waves of that size need to go into the house of mirrors and have a damn good look at themselves!

I think that there needs to be a system where qualified jetski pilots, who can operate in large and dangerous surf and is licensed, and that should maybe keep the cowboys at bay. I think if people are using skis in deserted areas, well it is on their own head, but with several hundred paddlers at Kirra it should be a no-go. Catch you in the waves!!

Thursday, March 7, 2019

in 2014-15 season and has served as Treasurer of Surf Sports for three terms. Currently Paul is responsible for organising the appointments of officials for the Australian Surf Championships next month and the IRB in July. At last weeks’ NSW Junior Championships at SwanseaBelmont our team was placed 22nd in the point score, no medals, but so close in several with points being allocated down to 6th, with many contesting finals. The Masters competition is being held on Wednesday-Thursday and the Open on Friday to Sunday in which the Club has 21 competitors entered. The Junior Club completes its 53rd season this Sunday with their presentations of awards and the AGM for next season. At the 1966-67 annual meeting of the club the suggestion of forming a “Nipper Club” was mentioned. A meeting was called on October 2 and on October 30 officers elected were Jack Julius as President and Bill Sanotti as Sec/Tres.. Ages were 8 years to 13 years. Twenty boys were enrolled initially. The Kingscliff Lady Lions presented each member with a competition cap, and the lads were divided into three groups of Sub-junior, Junior and Senior for

Local Sport 55

Sunday competition. Members were also divided into teams of ‘Sharks’ and ‘Dolphins’. The Club subsidised transport from Murwillumbah each week on George Batten’s double decker bus. At the conclusion of the season in February, 84 Nippers were registered. Ballina followed the lead and also formed and on January 8 1967, a carnival for nippers was held in conjunction with the senior carnival at Kingscliff. Although Byron Bay had not formed, several competitors joined in with Kingscliff, Greenmount and Ballina. In the 1969 – 70 Season, Reg Tobin served as President with wife Jean Tobin in the same capacity for the girls named as ‘Nipperettes’ which were formed on October 13 ,1968. The name Kingscliff was changed to Kingscliff-Cudgen in 1991-92 and officially Cudgen in 1997-98. Trivia: This week Name the first Club in Australia to submit members for examination.

A minutes silence in loving memory of Justin Cullen

Bilambil take out the Cullen Cup and Raiderettes outplay Cudgen Hornets THE BILAMBIL Jets made a clean sweep of the Tweed Coast Raiders in the 2019 Cullen Cup in loving memory of Justin Cullen played at Cabarita on Saturday, March 2. Justin played for both teams but tragically passed away on a surf trip with some of the players in the Maldives in 2015 and the day is a celebration of his life and the spirit of mateship in both clubs. Bilambil’s Mitch Spackman said he had played with Justin since they were kids. “He played at Cabarita as a junior and I was at Bilambil but we played a lot of rep games together,” he said. “When he came to Bilambil as a senior we played together there as well. “The younger players didn’t know Justin but for the older players when a mate that you played footy with isn’t here anymore it’s good to have a day like this to remember him by.

“Us and the Caba boys are all mates and we’ll all get together for a beer afterwards.” Rain dampened proceedings with Bilambil and the Raiders going try for try for most the A grade game with the hosts going down 18 - 12 although they nearly evened the score with a heart-stopping buzzer beater. Raiders assistant Coach Mike Ashburn said, “there were a lot of dropped balls and a lot of mistakes the boys wouldn’t usually make.” “The wet weather and the dropped balls were frustrating for the boys so we’ve got a lot to work on,” he said. “Bilambil was definitely the better team on the day so full credit to the boys.” Raiders captain Guy Lanston said it was a good hit out. “It’s Bilambils first game whereas we’ve had a couple so we probably didn’t perform as well as we should have,” Lanston said. “We’ve been trying a few new things but full credit to Bilambil, they turned up and gave it to us.

“It’s a bit of a kick up the arse we need. We’re the hunted now so we’ve got to lift, keep lifting because everyone is coming to get us now. “We’ve got plenty to work on. It’s a bit of a wake-up call that was probably needed. We will get to training and work on what we need and fix up our weaknesses and keep practising on our strengths. “It’s a special day for both clubs because Justin spent his junior years at Caba and then played at Bilambil with a few of the boys. “Both clubs are playing for him and congratulations to Bilambil for winning the Cullen Cup.” In the Under 18s Bilambil defeated the Raiders 42 - 10. Bilambil won the Reserve Grade game 14 - 8. Redemption for the Raiders came in the Ladies League Tag with the Raiderettes showing good form to beat competition rookies the Cudgen Hornets 28 - 4. The Hornets girls showed moments of real promise that will come more to the fore as the year progresses

but in the end the experience and confidence of the Raiderettes saw them take the win easily. Raiderettes coach Trudi Carter said her girls did extremely well. “We’ve only had three training sessions and that was our first game. We have five new players and they fitted in really well and did extremely well,” she said.

AFTER SCORING 335 runs against Ballina last week in 75 overs with wickets to spare the Cudgen Hornets were looking good going into day two in the second last round of the LJ Hooker League on Saturday March 2 at Cudgen. They didn’t disappoint. Ballina barely got a chance to bat last week and they must have been feeling a curious sense of deja vu when Connor Ziebell took the majority of the team out in eight overs with a stunning 6/17 (I don’t know what they put in the water at the Ziebell household but I want some) and James Julius mopped up the rest taking 3/22. There was some solid fielding to back them up with Harry Gray taking three catches. The Bears went out for a second shot at batting and managed to score a few more runs in the second innings but 7/127 wasn’t enough to get anywhere near the Hornets. Connor and Caleb Ziebell and James Julius took two wickets each with Tim Spencer making 1/9 and Gray getting another couple

of catches which sees the Hornets cement themselves into second position and a likely finals berth. Alstonville finished day one against Pottsville on 2/39 chasing 192 but the Pelicans had them all out for 143 off the back of some good bowling from Ryan McCloy (3/35) Oskar Sholz (2/16 in a great debut for first grade) and Tait Burns (2/10). Pottsville went in to bat for a second innings with Adam Rogers top scoring, not out for 40 while Burns scored 35. The Tweed boys declared at 3/94 after 12 overs. Alstonville only managed 4/44 in reply at the end of play to see the Pelicans slip into fourth position on the rung and a possible finals berth depending on how the cards fall after the next round. Murwillumbah had their work cut out going in to day two against Marist Brothers Lismore and the boys really lifted. The Panthers batted first with Captain Will Chapple making 92 runs and nearly taking the team to victory. Adam Melville scored 33 with the boys all out for a very respectable 214.

Marist Brothers went in to bat and the Panthers almost stole the win taking 8/81 with Will Chapples starring again taking 4/12 with Declan Brooks taking 2/33. Well done to the Panthers on a great comeback. In the immortal words of Maxwell Smart, “Missed it by that much”.

Terranora overtook the Panthers with no wickets down and Aidan Colivas 24 not out. Cudgen played comp leaders Lennox at Lennox, winning the toss and batting first. Hayden Wilson top scored on 27 with Ryan Marriot next best on 19 with the Hornets all out for 141. Lennox only just pulled off the win after some great bowling from Cudgen with Mitch Anderson taking 3/43, Ryan Marriot 2/26 and Sam Bowkett taking 2/20 with Lennox all out for 143 in a very tight finish.

“Moving forward we will be concentrating on our offence and bonding as a team. “I was impressed how the Hornets girls went considering it’s only their second game. I think they will be very competitive by mid-season.” The first game of the season starts on March 24 for the NRRRL and the Ladies League Tag while the Gold Coast comp kicks off on March 17 for Bilambil.

Coastal League

Our boys didn’t fare so well this week with all three teams going down. Pottsville played Byron at Byron with the hosts batting first and reaching the end of their 40 overs at 7/262. A bowling breakdown wasn’t available for Potty but Oscar Van Megchelen took three wickets. In reply our boys only managed 168. Troy Thoms was the pick of the batters taking 52 and the prized Pelican of the Week award. Murwillumbah played Terranora at Bilambil. The Panthers batted first but only made 35 off some brutal bowling from David Parkes who took 5/17 with Corey Fisher taking 2/10. Steve Twohill top scored on 17 runs.

Half tons all round in Thirsty Thirds

The Stubbies had a bye for Round 19. The Kegs played Cabarita at Tweed, batting first and posting two half centuries, with 54 from Fred Rushton and 54 not out from Shane Wilson with the team all out for 202. Dave Hirst took 3/26 for Cabarita, while Glenn Tunstead and Brent Saddler took two wickets each. In reply Caba got their own two half centuries with Brent Saddler retiring on 51 and Matt Glynn on

50 and Dave Hirst making 39. Caba overtook the Kegs to take the win at 4/205. Shane Wilson took three catches for the Kegs. Cudgen 1 played Cudgen 2 with Cudgen 1 batting first. There was a hat trick of half tons from Peter Mamone (50 not out) Jhi Wilkinson (53 not out) and Dean Mangold (50 not out) with the team 7/244 after 40 overs with no bowling stats available. In reply Cudgen 2 made 167 with Todd Fugar taking 3/25 and Lee Balgowan and Mamone taking two each giving Cudgen 1 the win. The Schooners played Pottsville and Pottsville batted first. Geoff Boddie top scored on 32 with the team all out for 145. M Togo was outstanding in the bowling taking 4/16 for the Schooners. In reply the Schooners overtook Potty with the loss of six wickets. Dale Buckpitt top scored on 36 with Nathan Osborne next best on 30 for a total of 6/148. Rohan Lattanzi took 3/25 and Steve Allen took 2/26. The Cougars played the Bobcats with no information available.
